[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrenchman76:
Yes you were correct. You do need the paid version of TiBackup. I used system tuner and worked well until I screwed up. Was going great until I decided to move Gallery. Thought to myself "That's just pictures and stuff, shouldn't be a prob". Well as soon as I moved it it just kept poping up with some error. Tried to reboot then black screen. CwRecovery still works perfect so booted into that. But now there is nothing on the SD card. Took it out and put in the computer and comes up with needing to format. Card craped out. Won't even let me format it. So if I get a new card can I just put 7.2 and the gapps file on it and reinstall it from recovery, will I be back in business? Or is there something else I need to do? Thanks

And do you think system tuner maybe is what fried the SD card? I think if I can get it going again I will let well enough alone, and just be happy with what I got. And stupid me never took the recovery files and saved them on the computer so now I don't have to original rom either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
Lord I have no idea... none... I know that when system tuner deletes things it backs them up first so see if it's in backups and restore it. Arg!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrenchman76:
It did back up the files, but the phone just boots to a black screen now, and CwRecovery still works but can't find any files on the sim csrd. Says "Can't mount sim card". And even when I take the sim out and put it in the computer it just pops up "Must format". I cant get into it at all, like the sim card went bad somehow. I'm HOPING that when I go get a new sim that I can put 7.2 and the gapps files on it, boot into recovery, and reinstall them and be back up and running again. God I hope I didn't brick my phone!

---------- Post added at 12:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:59 AM ----------

And I wasn't even deleting them, just moving them to the SD card to try to free up some internal memory. Probably moved 4 apps before that and seemed fine. Then I moved the Gallery and it just kept poping up with an error (can't remember exactly what it said) and it wouldn't stop. So I rebooted, went through the cyanogen mod 7 screen and then just sits on the black screen. Let it sit for like 5 minutes until I pulled the battery. Tried several times and just the same thing. So I'm assuming somehow it screwed up the rom. So hopefully with new sim card, I can reinstall it and be up again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
So can you plug your SD card into your computer, format it, copy 7.2 and gapps to it, and boot to recovery

factory reset.

flash 7.2

flash gapps

boot

Clarification :)

I'm looking at post ten, just for clarification even though its probably a really stupid and obvious question, we put all 3 items step one tells us to download onto the SD card before moving on to step 2, right? or do we just put the update.zip file and the ROM file on the SD card?

i'm a newbie at this and it will be a miracle if i manage to root my summit without bricking it.

thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
So U8651 goes in a folder on your computer and is unzipped/expanded - from there you will execute recovery flash.

Update.zip goes as is to the root directory of the SD card. - in recovery mode, you'll run update.

7.2 .zip and gapps.zip can go into a folder on your SD card, as is. in recovery mode you'll run zip file (once for each.

Does that make more sense?

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 PM ----------

Yep, put all three on the SD card still in zip form (update.zip, cyanogen's rom, gapps file). The only one you unzip (extract) is the U8651.zip and that stays on your computer. Follow the steps carefully step by step in post #10 and you should be all good.

But now i'm on the driver step and i cant seem to find an android device with a flag. Under "other devices" there's "android adapter" listed with a yellow exclamation point icon next to it, but it probably isn't the right thing.

Going back to the phone's original original state

Hi everyone,

I'm glad to see that this thread has been alive and well for so long! I have successfully installed the custom ROM and everything is working well.

Out of curiousity, I'd like to know if I would be able to bring my phone back to its original state, that is, the stock ROM without CWM Recovery on it. I've read through the entire thread, and I haven't seen anyone bring up how to remove CWM Recovery.

Any thoughts?

If you're just returning it, don't bother - they wouldn't know what a recovery partition is, most likely.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maximuslyricus:
Well, perhaps it's just me. I followed all the steps perfectly, and thought everything was going great until no apps were listed in Superuser. I went over and over the crap again to no avail. I did notice that when the files were loading, they appeared to be an update from Elcair to Froyo. I figure that since I am running Gingerbread 2.3.6, that the update file is just not compatible. The recovery file is fine, it's just the update file that's apparently not working for me.

The thing is now I have SuperUser on the phone without permissions. I got denied in the emulator and everything. I wasn't trying to do anything fancy, just have the stock ROM with the ability to move most files to SD and uninstall bloatware.

I have yet to find any update file that works on the T-mobile Prism that runs Android 2.3.6.

Hmm not familiar with foldermount, but if you are having issues I would suggest Link2SD as you can set it to automatically link apps to your ext partition as you install them. Best part is that it's free on the Play store! I don't think that the new recovery will fix your issue (could be wrong though!), rather it just is able to back up the ext partition of your card when you make a CWM backup in recovery. So if you ever had to restore, all of your apps on the ext partition would be restored. CWM revision four would always skip backing up the ext partition, and thus those apps would not be restored.

I will give Link2SD a try. I put FolderMount on my friends S4 and works really well. 1 cool thing about it is for example: You know how even though you move apps to the SD card there are still a certain amount of files the app won't let you move and still wants on the internal memory? Some a LOT! It can move those files to the SD card, leave the empty folder on the internal, and "mount" them together so the app can't tell it was moved and still works perfect. I thought it would be good to use on the Summit because even though I have a large SD card, I can barley download very many apps before my internal memory is full. Just trying to move things to the external SD without messing things up. Still pretty new at this stuff, this was my first root
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Hey no worries it was mine too! From what you're describing Link2sd should suit you perfectly! However in order to use it you will need to create an ext partition on the card if you haven't already (as the second partition).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
Yup you can do this. Only reason I went the long and complicated way was to ensure I would still have a working factory backup. Wasn't sure if the old backup would be compatible with the new recovery. But if it is like you say than that is definitely the easier way to go. I just prefer doing things from the pc:) But yes flashing from recovery should work just fine if the old backups are compatible.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrisM22:
That has me wondering: The phone has been booted a few times, presumably.

A Is there any risk in changing step 4 to

swap the img files and run 8651 to flash 6010, and then boot the system. If it works, go back to recovery and back it up. If it doesn't the backup would have been worthless anyway. (if it doesn't just go ahead and flash 7.2 stable.)

Lets forget about B and C for the moment...:laugh:

Oh, B or alternately flashing 5020 or whetever it is and then booting to recovery and flashing 6010, and booting the system fully before backup. I'm not sure what my obcession was for the immediate backup...

I think lets work up a massive change to post 10... probably up on PM.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

So when I was reading the posts you gave to me about the partitions, they act like you should not use ext3. They say if your phone will accept ext4 to use that and if it does not, to use ext2. But not to use ext3. So now I don't know if I should use ext3 like you or ext2. Whats your thoughts? Sorry if I'm being a pain.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Linkisaboss77:
