[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
hello guys..sorry for my terrible English..I desperately need your help and maybe only you can help me..Yesterday i tried to install an app from googleplay to my p500 and all started going wrong..i couldnt start it..it was looping on cyanogen boot screen..i have read an internet solution that suggested me to flash rom via adb shell..but it couldnt work(luckily because i think that it would wipe my data forever)somehow i thought to connect it via usb to my pc..and it did start..but all of my sms messages(threads had gone).all the other files and settings where ok..but now threads...from that time i tried to recover them somehow..the problem is that now i m again on the boot screen and it will not startup...is there any way to recover files via clockworkmod?or anything else?please help me...
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
If you didn't make a backup, there is no way to restore them.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
are we sure that it deleted them?no way then to just recover files as i do to sdcard?i may have a data.yaffs2.img file but i m not sure how to open it to check..and when i try to restore it it gives me a md5 error...

no way to just restore my sms?even if i pay?anything?
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
If that is the data containing them, then you have a chance. Try factory resetting and formatting all partitions, reflash your rom and restore that data img. Make sure the rom you flash is the same one were on.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
how can i view and edit on my pc the file?just to see..and then i ll probably find the md5 error...
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
The data is to be restored through recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
so to be crystal clear..there isnt any way,even a paid solution to recover them...right?i have to create a custom rom install?oh,God i have no idea...

why all the other settings AND files keep as i had them?phone contacts,images,themes..only this sms threads...

and another thing..how can i restore them without reflash the rom?to keep apps..
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
also clockworkmod recovery gives me a bad boot message "recovery" any ideas what does that mean?
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
If the backup was done at the time you had the messages, they should be in the data img. Reflashing the rom and restoring the data will bring them back (if they are in it). Your apps, settings, etc. will also be brought back.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
i m wondering if the img is incomplete though...because it had stopped not in data.img but i think in system or something else....anyway to solve md5 mismatch?

what are my steps from now on(except from praying messages to be in there..)
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Was the backup renamed (with spaces)? Are you trying to restore it to the same rom you were on?
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
the name of the backup is data.yaffs2.img

with no spaces...i think i was trying to restore it to the same rom...i only have 1 rom....
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Try formatting your data partition then use "Advanced Restore" to restore it. I was referring to the folder - Did you rename the folder which the file is in?
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
nope,i didnt..i tried advance restore...i m just praying i ll find a solution....thanks for the help you are providing....
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
No need to say "thanks", just press it ;) (It's kind of the rules :good:). Do you still get the error?
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
yes unfortunatelly i do...i m trying everything but with no success....i ve managed to open it and to restore the data file but i only see a black screen when i m in.....nothing else...not even my theme...although my wifi password and some apps were restored...
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Did you have the messages at the time you made the backup? This is the only way.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
i think i did...my only question is if this is corrupted...
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Not necessarily. See here if you want to try to fix the error: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/fix-nandroid-md5-mismatch-woes/.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
i did it a second ago..my phone stucks to cyanogen boot screen...and to load i have to plug usb cable..then it loads and it goes to "enable external transfer"(or whatever is called) when i unplug it,the same black screen...i can get a call,but i dont see menu,or anything else....i m getting crazy...
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Seems like you're not going to get them back. Just format everything and flash a rom to get your phone back to a working state.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
i m sick of it...i ll throw it away....
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
now that i m able at least to load in is there any way i could access from my pc the system files of the phone?
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19485223&postcount=3.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
i did it...there is no way i m getting my data back..

the data.yaffs was corrupted....now,i m praying that i could even find a paid solution to this...i cant accept that there is no solution...i must but i cant think that in that time,with hackers etc etc,there is no solution to bring back a db file....
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
if i want to make a clean install could i somehow restore the data i have now?i mean in the clean install of cyanogen to restore the yaffs image i have right now...is there any way?i still cant believe i CANT somehow recover messages...even by paid solutions...
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Didn't you try that already?
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
not the clean install,now...i ve tried only restore the data file...

and it seems that the phone has a problem with booting...so i think i must somehow make a new install and THEN restore data....to do it i replace the data in the cyanogen zip?i install first cyanogen and then the data?what should i do?sorry for asking,but i really dont know!

at least i have to make the phone work...
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
I did suggest you try that - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28423774.
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
i m just asking for the correct order..i have to flash the same rom if i want to be able restore my data,correct?or i could flash any rom and then restore the yaffs data file without any problem?another thing..i ve read in some threads that i had to unzip the roms install file,replace the data file with my data file and rezip it..then install it to my phone...and to be honest i ve got comfuse...sorry if i m too comfused but my english arent very well and also i havent any idea about this....
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Do what my previous post said (in that order).
[General Questions and Answers] n1ck018:
thrylosthyra7

what important data you want to back??

If your contact and msg (YOU CANT)

but to restore your PHONE (YES YOU CAN)

This happened to me also. I solved it like this:

First thing to do is get sure the LG drivers are installed ( there is a topic in the forum on this also).

Install KDZ ( serch in the forum and download it)

Download a room ( stock or not )

Flash the phone with KDZ ( after the drivers have been installed the phone should be detected on the pc.

After flashing if it does not start up do not fear, get the battery out, re install the battery and do a hard reset power+home+volume down buttons pressed at the same time and it should work.

If its your first time install Stock GB 20E as it is an open room, if not new to this I would suggest CM7.

Hope it helped

Regards
[General Questions and Answers] thrylosthyra7:
i ll try what exactly you told me in the previous post then!your advices were great!sorry about the dummy questions!

unfortunately i want the msgs..and as theonew said i must forget about them..you ve helped a lot!i ll use again cm7 since it didnt have a lot of problems(only the one with many programms in startup which is slowing down my phone...)thanks anyway!!! have a nice afternoon! :)

Just got my phone yesterday via the mail. The back plate around the camera is chipped like the paint is coming off. Then my screen has very noticeable deep scratches in the screen above the button.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] blackstallion1234:
Hi guys,

I'm quite the newbie to advanced techniques of rooting/unlocking/flashing as this is my first Android!

Nevertheless, I successfully rooted my Live With Walkman WT19i (4.0.A.0.58) using the Zerg rush method.

Then I installed ClockWorkMod Recovery 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2(ported by nobodyAtall) and made a Nandroid backup.

Later I followed Sony's official guide on unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions to unlock my bootloader. To check if the unlock was successful, I went to the Service Menu where it said Bootloader Unlocked: Yes.

Then placed CM 7.2 coconut on the SD card, booted into Recovery, wiped data and cache partition, install ZIP from SD card. It then gave me an assert error (something along the lines of Status 7 error, Installation Aborted). So I read somewhere to remove the first line from META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script in my CM 7.2.0 ZIP package. So I once again tried installing ZIP from SD card. This time no error showed up. I got a message like ZIP updated or something. Then I restarted the phone and now its stuck for around 10 minutes on the 'Sony Ericsson' initial screen. No sign of CyanogenMod bootscreen either.

Consequently I can't enter recovery mode too. (because the Vol down button needs to be tapped just BEFORE the Sony Ericsson screen vanishes (which doesn't vanish at all now!))

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Is the phone 'bricked'? Thanks!:(

Have u try to flash ftf using flashtool?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] motorazrv3:
You have to flash a compatible cm 7.2 kernel. You can use the one that comes with the downloaded zip. Or you can use the ported rage kernel for cm 7.2.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] blackstallion1234:
Works great!

Thanks a bunch there mate! I was still on stock kernel!:rolleyes: I flashed boot.img from the CM 7.2 ZIP. Initially it got stuck in a (boot?)loop and I saw that the same stuff kept happening through

adb logcat

but after a restart, it works fine. Except that gApps, specially Market sometimes works and sometimes doesn't on wifi!

Thanks again! Its a huge world out there about flashing/unlocking/kernels/ROMs and stuff so I guess it's somewhat easy to get lost!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aboobakr:
which is the best ics rom for gaming?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ntragas:
I think that kernel has more to do with games...

But with slimics + semaphore (xl ram) +smartass i am very happy with my gaming experience
[Galaxy S I9000 General] RuffBuster:
I'm using the same config slimics 4.2 and semaphore 1.26s max mem option and smartassv2 with great results. Previously was using gamerzrom which is also a great gaming platform but is lacking on the user interface, just not smooth enough for my liking.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pxrave:
cm9 with sgs3 pack & semaphore 2.3.6

games run very well ;) =>like gta 3, maxpayne etc .. thanks to live oc and our powerfull gpu

iam using a live oc of 17%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] aboobakr:
what about devil kernel for gaming and battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ThorEe:
Elite scorpion 2 kernel have awesome 3D. It's the default kernel in Elite´s RC 1.4.1 ROM.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
The 3D drivers in Elite's ROM are improved, nothing in kernel. Kernel doesn't affect gaming, they are all based on Linux kernel with some added functions and updated drivers.

how the battery life in gamerzrom????
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lukz93:
currently i have an i9000 , ICS 4.0.4 , f4kmod, with semaphore 1.2.5 VC, with bigmem, (200MB of ram FREE) and i CANT make gta 3 playable without lag...

what i can try?

what is smartassv2?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] M_J_Nazari:
lol,,, Kernel doesn't affect gaming :laugh: :laugh:

then why the kernel developers are here?

check the Speedmod Kernel and Stock one and Semaphore Kernel on NenaMark3D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] M_J_Nazari:
for Best result on gaming you have to disable all services on Phone.

check the background application and services, close them all via app freezers

CM9

USE CM9 HES THE MOST STABLE dont use roms with ROM control cause it sometimes get stuck :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::eek:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killcraft:
1-elite comes with neo kernel not scorpion 2 kernel

2-use slimICS with devil3_O.99 it has gpu overclock . and you can control your amount of ram

3-kernels do affect 3d gaming .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rikul:
U high?? Lol
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ticoti68:
For me many Roms are good to gaming, why? because everyone do OC, use ultimate Kernell, with some perfomance changes and voltages cpu,

but specialy don´t forget some signs like heater, because when we want power and perfomance, battery will die soon, screen will be little hot, and off course cpu.

gaming with carefull
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
But they all have the more or less same fixes, comparing a custom kernel to stock kernel of course is senseless.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rikul:
Try to oc to 1400 mHz on stock kernel :) or even custom kernel ( semaphore)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eziodavinci:
You can use Slim rom with lastest Devil kernel. And you have 403Mb and CPU 1.5Ghz. You'll get best ;) for gaming
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rikul:
I can oc to maximum 1440 mhz
[Galaxy S I9000 General] eziodavinci:
sorry for my mistake
[Galaxy S I9000 General] elburo:
Take the Kernel with the biggest RAM!! My experiance had been great with semaphore bm versions(disadvantage: no 720p video)

I'm running FATslug ics alpha1.02 with the koala sleepy v.2 kernel

Lock max frequency 2Hz

Deepidle=top_on

Dead u/c @ 5%

Smartass v2...... of course ;)

This is definitely the slowest my phone has run, way slower than anything Samsung could achieve, the only thing better would be a hox, hope this helps.

If I helped you hit thanks.

1. Download CM7/CM9/AOKP

2. Install it according to ROM thread instructions.

3. Go to settings - languages.

Choose Hebrew.

4. Go to android keyboard and add Hebrew language.

You're done.

Full UI, Right To Left support and dedicated keyboard. All in Hebrew.

Everything is working great.

Just installed it, and everything wet smoothly. I have no idea what I am expecting now though, it appears to have just replaced the search bar. Nothing different seems to have happened so far.

Edit: I had to install the modified Velvet-theos0o.apk file in order to get it to work properly. Voice search isn't working but that seems to be a common issue.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] RolloJarvis:
if you search factual questions it should now bring up "knowledge cards" with your answer rather than a google search.

Also try holding home and dragging up, it may open "google now" which is supposed to act a bit like your PA and learn your routine

Is there any versions out for non-rooted devices? Don't feel too good rooting my new device, would lose the quarantee :-P
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] 3ddyz:
Unlocking voids warranty, rooting doesn't.
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] beejmeister:
It says that it requires a "A Rooted device running ICS AOSP Rom". I'm rooted but NOT unlocked and therefore NOT running a custom ROM.

This won't work for me. Right?
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] RolloJarvis:
Im not 100% sure, but I would imagine that the stock ROM is close enough to AOSP for it to work.

I think it probably would work, but you may want to wait for someone else to confirm
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] SilentStormer:
I'm the head of one of the Google Now for ICS projects and you can probably install this normally. Just make sure not to delete your original "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" file. Just rename it and have it on hand to put back if anything goes wrong.

[HTC EVO 3D] jamiphar:
My brother has been using my Evo 3D since I moved to T-Mo, and he inadvertently got it into a boot loop.

He had let it run out of battery and therefore it wouldn't power on again until it charged for a bit (typical revolutionary behavior). It powered on, he left it charging and went to bed. When he woke up, the phone was off and he couldn't get it to power on.

I was able to get the phone to power on after a few tries of removing the battery and holding in the power button, but I can only access the bootloader. The system or recovery won't boot.

I've tried flashing RUU zips and I've run the exe from the HTC dev Site with no improvement. I can't successfully flash a recovery, even though I'm S-OFF.

So, now the phone is locked, S-OFF, with HBOOT 1.5 and radio 0.97.10.0530. Any ideas on what I should try next?

:EDIT: Here's a photo of the bootloader menu:
[HTC EVO 3D] R0M CHEF:
You need to unlock bootloader first by

Using even the HTC dev method ........

Then flash a recovery through fastboot and type in cmd

Fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.IMG and then go into.recovery flash a custom Rom then there ya go....

Hit the thanks button if I helped
[HTC EVO 3D] jamiphar:
Yeah, I actually tried that and the unlock screen doesn't come up when I enter "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin." I just get this:

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)... OKAY [ 0.155s]

writing 'unlocktoken'... INFOunlock token check successfully

OKAY [ 0.006s]

finished. total time: 0.161s

And if I try it again, I get this:

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)... FAILED (remote: loading custom splash failed)

finished. total time: 0.001s

I'm familiar with the process, as I've gone through it on two other Evo 3Ds, but it's just not responding the same way with this one.
[HTC EVO 3D] R0M CHEF:
Flash other recovery like i said

Hit thanks button
[HTC EVO 3D] jamiphar:
Well, as I mentioned in the first post, I can't successfully flash a recovery, even though the phone is S-OFF. When I try to flash a recovery, I get this:

sending 'recovery' (4832 KB)... OKAY [ 1.187s]

writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)

finished. total time: 1.190s

I had been able to get a successful message when flashing a recovery, even though I wouldn't be able able to boot from it, but now it's not even doing that.
[HTC EVO 3D] R0M CHEF:
Flash a ruu.zip that should definitely fix it

Hit the thanks button
[HTC EVO 3D] jamiphar:
Yeah, I already tried that. I suspect you're not even bothering to check the post above. :-P
[HTC EVO 3D] R0M CHEF:
Sorry just tryin to help
[HTC EVO 3D] jamiphar:
Hey, no problem. I appreciate the help!

I was able to get the HTC unlock prompt to show up once, but it would not accept a power button press on YES. It only accepted NO. I was not able to get this prompt to reappear, but now I see that the bootloader says UNLOCKED. I can now flash a recovery without error, but I still can't boot to it.

sending 'recovery' (4832 KB)... OKAY [ 1.257s]
writing 'recovery'... OKAY [ 10.078s]
finished. total time: 11.337s
[HTC EVO 3D] vedrit:
I got my EVO unlocked (Couldnt figure out how to get S-OFF) and have tried flashing through the command prompt, but my phone still boot-loops. From what I've read, its related to trying to root the phone with S-On.

Despite the guides I've read, downgrading from 1.5 to 1.4 doesnt work (The program says my phone is unsupported), and command prompt using fastboot isnt working.

The ROM I'm trying to get working is the viperROM IC3D Beta 3.0

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

The only ROM I can get to work is a stock GB ROM. All others boot-loop
[HTC EVO 3D] wloftus:
bring your phone over to my place and ill fix it...ill make things work lol...ok so youre now unlocked and can write the recovery but when you go through the bootloader it wont let you boot to it....correct?
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
It is from being s-on from all I've read. Did you try the wire trick to get s-off? I did the 1.5 to 1.4 downgrade, but I've read that the wire trick is easy.

[HTC EVO 3D] vedrit:
according to the tutorials regarding the wire trick, you have to have some sort of software downloaded, but I cant find anywhere.

"Extract the zip file to a new directory" what zip?

"Run controlbear as admin(windows)" cant find that anywhere

EDIT:

With no thanks to the people in the support chat for juoponuts wire trick, I assume I found the proper files and will attempt the trick. Here's to hoping I dont fk my phone up
[HTC EVO 3D] jamiphar:
Hey, I might just have to do that. Right, I can seemingly write the recovery, but I can never load it.

But the thing is, my phone is already S-OFF. If I run controlbear (which I'd already tried, since I was just setting up another Evo with it), it just says the phone is already S-OFF.

You can find the appropriate file as the bottom of this page:

http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/instructions/evo-3d-cdma-shooter/

All you do is unzip the downloaded zip and run the ControlBear.exe in it. You'll have to have the phone hooked up via fastboot or USB debugging first.
[HTC EVO 3D] vedrit:
Like I said, I found them. Thanks, though. It'd be nice if the guide were a little bit clearer, though, and the links labled clearer. Oh well. I got it to work after a few tries.

As for your problem, jami, I noticed that after I got S-OFF my phone was marked as LOCKED. When I ran the unlocker, it wouldnt let me select Yes. However, when I pulled the battery and re-entered HBOOT, my phone was UNLOCKED with S-OFF. I didnt select No before pulling the battery, so maybe try that?

EDIT:

Dangit. My phone is still boot-looping when I try a non-stock ROM
