[Motorola Droid 4] podspi:
First of all, when you say toggling didn't work, what exactly do you mean (what error message did you get)

Second of all, do not quick toggle. :D

Third, what mode is the phone in now? Try toggling to Safe Mode and rebooting.

Also, what mode were you in when you made the backup? You cannot restore safe-mode backups to the non-safe partition and vice-versa.

Also, you can get AOKP to connect to data by cycling between GSM/CDMA. Yes it is bug.
[Motorola Droid 4] TechTinker:
I was in the Safe System and when I tried to toggle into the Non-safe system it gave me an error when it was trying to restore. I think it was the same "Error while restoring /data" as I got after but I can't be sure.

yeah I know..I just wanted to get back. But good to know Ill be able to conenct to data if I get back to it.

Im in the Non-Safe system right now but I can't toggle back due to the "Error while restoring /data" error.

I did the backup in the non-safe and tried restoring in the non-safe.

I really hope that quick toggle didnt mess me up completly.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
You could try doing a factory reset of your non-safe system. Not sure if that would work or not but might be worth a shot. Your could also try booting into stock recovery and doing a factory reset. If you go that route and it works you will have to re-root your phone and you may lose some things.
[Motorola Droid 4] TechTinker:
Ok, so I didn't know there was a factory reset option on the safeboot..lol. I didn't select it but when I turned on my phone a black screen with white text popped up, so i shut it down and on again and it booted up to the set up process. Then a while after I tried toggling the safe system again but it gave me the error again. I also tried doing a nandroid but it gave me a error about the /systemrig?

Then I decided to just boot it up normally and it gave me the set up process again. :/
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Glad to hear you at least have a working system again. When my safestrap pooped out on me I had to boot into stock, uninstall safestrap recovery, manually delete the safestrap folder on the sd card, then reinstall safestrap recovery. That finally fixed it for me. I have a suspicion it might have been a low amount of storage space that caused my initial problem with safestrap not wanting to toggle between safe and non-safe but I haven't confirmed that.
[Motorola Droid 4] TechTinker:
Yeah so am I.

Ok so from what I understand I should set up my phone again and unistall safestrap, go into the file manager, delete the safestrap folder and reinstall safestrap and I should be good to good to go with toggling and have it not boot up to set up everytime I turn it on? Then to get back to AOKP I just redo the data wiping and flashing. Sweet.

Yeah that might be it, I've been getting a "Low volume space on SD" error for a while. I didn't know what was causing it to be so full.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
If your getting a low disk space message you might want to see if you can find some things to delete or move to an external sd card. I use DiskUsage. It gives you a nice graphical representation of what is eating up your space.
[Motorola Droid 4] TechTinker:
Ok I used it and got some stuff off. Seems like some of the biggest takers were some game data like Temple Run and Spirit HD. heh.

Anyways I did what you said about safestrap, after I finished restoring the rest of my apps..took forever. I reinstalled safestrap and booted into recovery. When I tried toggling it still gave me the "error while restoring /data". Then when I booted up normally I went back to the set up process. Why :confused:
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
That's odd. You deleted the safestrap folder in /sdcard right? Not /sd-ext? If you deleted that then there shouldn't be any data to restore. It should be like you are setting up your safe system for the first time. Assuming that you:

1. Opened the safestrap app and uninstalled recovery.

2. Used a file explorer to delete the safestrap folder in /sdcard.

3. Then opened the safestrap app and reinstalled recovery.

That is what I did and it worked for me. If that doesn't work then I am at a loss. Maybe someone with a little more knowledge of how safestrap works can chime in.
[Motorola Droid 4] TechTinker:
I think thats what I did wrong. I unistalled the Safestap app but not the recovery and didn't know there was a safestrap file in the internal storage.

Ok so far I think I got Stock and AOKP running along pretty nicely. Thanks for the help everyone! :D

Also, how would I go about updating to a new nightly or another ICS based ROM?

I hope Data connection (3g/4g and wifi) get fixed up. I also been noticing like plugged in a computer AOKP will charge slower than usual. But decharging and battery life seems alright.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Glad you got everything worked out! You should see a link to the nightly builds in the OP of the CM9 and AOKP dev threads. If you are flashing a nightly build of the same ROM you should be able to flash it in safestrap recovery over top over your old build. You should always wipe cache and dalvik cache when flashing a new build. If switching to a different ROM that you should wipe data/factory reset as well.

I doubt that the data connection issues are going to get worked out until we see ICS ROMs based on the ICS leaks. But to use those you will need to be on the ICS leak on stock. Personally I am waiting until the official ICS OTA comes out. Not willing to take the (small) chance of getting knocked off the official upgrade path. If the data issues have got you down I suggest trying out the Eclipse ROM. That's what I am running. Yes, it is "only" GB based, but it is very smooth and has no data issues.
[Motorola Droid 4] nequeelrey:
I had the same issue

When mine kept resetting, I couldn't get it to even go to safestrap mode. I had it replaced because of endless searching let to nothing.
[Motorola Droid 4] TechTinker:
When mine did it, i just threw it in my backpack (to stop the "Droid" I was in the library haha. and got it out later and managed it some how. sorry that you had to replace it.

Hey when should data (As far as I know texting works b.c I keep getting one from 6250. But when should Pandora, Youtube, Netflix work, or will the codecs never work? :( I might switch to the eclipse rom, but i just love the ics improvements.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Probably not going to see a totally working ICS ROM based off the GB kernel. I don't think hashcode is really even working on them anymore. He's more focused on getting a ROM up and running based off the ICS kernel in the leaked updates. Once the ICS OTA drops we should see some really nice ICS ROMs I think. Or you can jump on the leaks. Personally, I'm riding it out on Eclipse until the official OTA drops. Too many hoops to jump through when messing with the leaks IMO.
[Motorola Droid 4] TechTinker:
So is esclipse just GB with ics look? Or does it actually have the improvements and ics apks will work on it? I think I can ride with just ics look and feel till the OTA. I cant even get to the nightlies on droidhive.

Where can I find the esclipse rom? Thanks again
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Yes, Eclipse is GB with some elements changed or added to give it a more ICS look. Any app specifically made for ICS won't work but I can't really think of anything like that other than Chrome browser. Most apps are still made with GB in mind because that is what most android phones are still running. You can find the Eclipse ROM thread in the dev section.

I know right? I ordered a replacement black one for myself for $15 yesterday. I don't know why the white one is more expensive :confused:.

Here's one for $26 + Free shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Brand...Accessories&hash=item4ab5dc1b15#ht_620wt_1306

Make sure you order the right battery cover for your device.. the I717 and International N7000 battery covers are different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Talderon:
Keep in mind that the non-OEM ones, most likely won't have the NFC Antenna on them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vanemburghj:
Have white cover with NFC for extended battery

Ordered Mugen 5400 with cobalt blue cover was sent white with promise to send blue cover in next few days. Once I receive correct cover willing to sell the white one I currently have. Goodness is has NFC antenna plus doe not have that ugly hump for extended battery that other folks are selling. If you want it pitch me price with shipping and we can go from there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggestchop:
Hello;

Question: what do I do go make my bricked, unrooted phone work?

I am turning here out of desperation. I was given an HTC hero by a workmate. I had great plans to root it, and try all the cool roms.

When I got it, before I put my SIM or SD card into it, I turned on WIFI and saw that there was an update available. The installation of that update failed, and now my phone doesn't boot.

The download completed, the installation started, but part way through I got an image of a triangle with an exclamation point in it. Now when I power on my phone it hangs on the "HERO" screen.

I have tried a factory reset. All the instructions for trying to fix this sort of thing seem to involve having a working phone. I'll try anything. Please?

Now that is how I like it, rooting for dummies, no offense. Looking forward to it to root and open up this Beauty and the Beast phone.

Thanks,

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] purock:
Very Cool. If we are rooted but still have bootloader locked will we be able to use the automated bootloader unlock option? Or does the phone have to be completely stock?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] typhoonikan:
What about those of us already rooted via the method available?

Will your method also unlock the bootloader for those already rooted OR is this method only workable from an Unrooted and Locked beginning point?

Does my question make sense? o_O
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
That is what I've always been striving for in everything I release. Easy to use and understand.

I have had the exact same thought process while developing this, and my answer right now is, most likely. I haven't tested what happens if you try to unlock the bootloader when it's already unlocked. If you are already rooted and have a locked bootloader still, this will work. Just remember that unlocking the bootloader resets your ROM to stock (deletes all user data). All this will be tested before release and answered clearly though :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
Regaw,

Would it be possible to have an alternate version or option that solely does the recovery image? Let's say someone already were able to get SU on their device with the other method but struggled with fastboot, for example. They wouldn't necessarily want to start over with a new, unrooted/stock ROM.

Is this possible or perhaps too remote of a request to be relevant? I'm in that small minority now I guess, lol.. Got tampered screen, got root on phone, but cannot get recovery pushed to it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Unfortunately, you have to unlock the bootloader before you can flash a recovery, and unlocking erases all user data on the phone anyways. So, you really do have to start over. But this application takes care of everything.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Just tested the process on my OG EVO (I left out the actual rooting/flashing so I didn't ruin my phone :p ) but the process looks nice and works well
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] HTCotta:
Wait am I understanding this correctly that this will unlock the bootloader and HTC will be none the wiser? Because that would be awesome!

Sent from my EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Well, it uses your phone's unlock token (obviously has to in order to unlock your own device), but not your login information to htcdev. Every time you call

fastboot oem get_identifier_token

the token is randomly seeded (different), so I don't know exactly how "traceable" the token is back to your device.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] clownfart:
I didn't want to use htcdev to unlock my bootloader, so I've been waiting for something like this. :D

well ur still using HTC Dev with this in a sense...so dont think your avoiding that one...like he said you just dont have to log into it with your account...though if that was your only worry of HTC Dev Unlock then you could just create a fake acocunt on there to unlock the device...

outstanding work though regaw!!:D:D:D:D

makes it nice for those users that dont wanna mess with fastboot and all...to unlock...

Hi guys I'm new to this flashing etc world. I used rom manager and installed the wrong clokworldmod and my phone only loads samsung galaxy s 4g screen. I saw the thread about not using rom manager but I already did yesterdey. I'm trying to gain access to download mode with odin but I'm not able to get in!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
yeah, ROM Manager is a bad thing when it comes to our phone.

ODIN does not put your phone in download mode. There are numerous ways to accomplish that and those are outlined in a few different posts here as well as the wiki.

Do you know if you were on Froyo or Gingerbread before you tried to flash something? Also, what ROM did you try to flash? Going from Froyo to Gingerbread, and vice versa, requires you to flash the proper boot loaders.

I suggest checking out Lumin30's [GUIDES] Fresh out of box Galaxy S 4G [SOLVED] | Heimdall One-Click For Dummies. Awesome guides and they should get you back to a working status.

Every equipment produces heat according to the stress being caused to it, your "light" usage of the equipment + your own body transmitted temperature = warm feeling

You may say you never felt it before on your other cellphones and probably the reason is related to the material used ?

I've noticed some annoying glitches in the SGS3 Gallery app

First

Once I open the Gallery, the albums are displayed in equal sized squares, no empty spaces between them... not anymore. Not sure what happened, but now they all have different sizes and there's an empty black space between them.

Second

Once I open an album and browse through the pictures (not the grid view, the full size when you can swipe left and right between them at full size), some of them will show up properly for a second, then flip upside down or squeeze down to landscape instead of portrait.

I know the pictures themselves are just fine, I've cleared the Gallery app data and force-stopped it. No dice.

Short of replacing my Gallery app - which I really don't want to do - I really need any suggestions you guys can throw at me.
