Going back to old Firmware possible ?

Thank you for that info, I did find one firm just a bit newer PJ75IMG_3.15.651.6-no-boot-recovery.zip and I do know how to install. I do not expect an answer on my question if I can still run Viper4G2.0.2 after this upgrade (will ask Team Venom), however, would you know if I can revert back to the old Firmware ? Via TWRP or other method ? I hear renamig the old PJ75IMG.old that I left on the phone to PJ75IMG.zip and installing it to try to get old firmware is a bad idea and possible brick road ! lol

Thanks again,

Julian
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Reverting your firmware will indeed brick you AFAIK and you should be able to run Viper4G with the new firmware when I updated my firmware I was running an ICS rom I didn't notice any problems.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] julianikos:
Going for it...

Well I think I'm going to try now, I still hope that by saving my original firmware file on my SD and then run TWRP Restore will get me back...or not ! lol Worse case I'll say goodbye to the Viper Rom... God help me, I love my EVO..ha haa
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] julianikos:
Sweet !

Huge thanks ! No problem with update, loaded Viper4g ICS fine, tested functions..working !

Again...thanks for the help !

Your first screenie shows you are still on the older radio. You didn't do the update?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] julianikos:
Old Radio

It used to be like this before the update. I used the link you gave me and did the PJ75IMG.zip update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
It appears you flashed the older PJ75IMG.zip your baseband should be 1119 as the last 4 numbers

Thanks so much for your quick responses. Your link in my PM worked great ! Very nice of you to take time for us noobs. I've been at it since my original EVO 4G.

My Galaxy S2 is on the stable release of CM9. Randomly today I looked at it to check some notifications, and found I had no data. This persists no matter where I am or what the signal is at. I can have maximum bars and text/call but data isn't working at all. I have data on under networks and don't understand why this is suddenly happening. Any thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bubuty:
do you have the correct APNs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chaos Reaper:
Not sure what APNs are in all honesty. I have been on stable CM9 since its release day and have never had a problem until today. Tried a reflashing of the rom, a new kernel, and another new rom. Still nothing and I'm back on CM9 again now with no data. Do you think these APNs are the issue?

Just read up on APNs controlling your mobile data a bit. I think I have a basic understanding of it. How can I check if my APN is wrong and if it is how do I fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CallMeAria:
Where you at? My wife and I both lost data tonight in southern California. Odds are ATT is doing something with their network in certain areas. I didn't notice it until I tried sending a picture message. Then the wife came home complaining her data wasn't working. Same deal, full signal. So yeah, probably not a problem with your phone, but the network itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chaos Reaper:
Southern California. I'm in Riverside. I really hope this is what it is! I can't afford a new phone, though that galaxy S3 looks delicious. :3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ender127:
i'm having a very similar issue. my gs2 was functioning until approximately 8pm. i was actually just eating dinner and realized that i couldn't connect to anything. i'm able to receive phone calls, text messages, utilize the net using my wifi, but can't receive mms or connect to the net by 3g/hsdpa. as far as i know i haven't made any changes to my apn but i did check and they appear to be correct. i tried rebooting my phone, setting it on airplane and off, and still no success. not sure if it matters but i'm running task's aokp version 7.3.2012 but i haven't reflashed or added new mods/apps in several weeks. also i'm in los angeles. at this point, i'm holding off on reflashing my phone and hoping it's just the network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The_Fallen_angel:
I had a similar problem witcm i finally flash jb the super nexus double checked my apns an poof i had data again. If you want to know where to find your apns look under your wireless settings choose mobile networks then access point names make sure you have att there or whatever carrier yiu are using
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ender127:
honestly i would rather not buy a new phone but this would be an incredible excuse to get the gs3, lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chaos Reaper:
It's looking like the evidence is pointing here. Let me try talking with ATT. Will report back.

Just talked to them! There is an outage in our area fellas. Nothing to worry about :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ender127:
you're awesome, thank you =D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Chaos Reaper:
You're welcome! :D Thank you for helping me stifle my worries!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The_Fallen_angel:
Your welcome
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Glad it's just the network being down. But, as for APNs: (this is for task's aokp, but the process will be extremely similar on other ROMs)

System settings

More (dependent upon ROM)

Mobile networks

Access Point Names (APNs)

There is a thread dedicated to the "correct" APNs somewhere around here. Could give those a try and see if they help you out in low signal/slow areas.

I've had the same issue. Although I'm in Australia and im on the Virgin network my SG2 data connection ability is not working.

However i only just recently upgraded it to the 4.1.2 JB using the link from this site.

Has anyone had this problem?

I tried the first time without rooting my phone and it Did't work. So i factory reset the phone to 4.0.3 ICS and everything was okay.

I then rooted the phone and used the link XDA provides, followed the instructions to the T and updated the phone to 4.1.2 JB but not my Data connection isn't working. Can anyone help?

CM7 is for sure the fastest and most stable... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033654

you can try the WhiteRabbit build as well :) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1510063

I also recomend you WIUI stable or the latest one. Is fast enough, much more than standard MIUI.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrewdy:
I think

hi,

i you are only crazy about games then go for CM7 and if you want a lot of customizations on your defy and go for MIUI 2.4.13/WIUI latest version for Defy.

Thanks
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
In my experience, MIUI Pikachu Edition was faster than WIUI GB.

Still, I think the fastest are CM7 KANG's by FuZZ :) But not a big difference between them and Pikachu.

In my opinion....

Pikachu Rom - Fastest rom i have ever seen, it has aroma installer, v6 supercharger:victory:

CM9 fast edition - based on ICS 4.04,much stable and fast....(note) - it is for red lens and defy plus only,because in green lense your camera will not work.....It also has Aroma installer......:p

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
CM7 is only good for certain games, like Skies of Glory. It's not the fastest ROM.

MIUI and WIUI aren't fast in any way. I don't know what you're talking about.

CM9 is slow, but Moto Ice Gun and Defy+++ are all very fast. They are based off of Quarx's

CM9 builds and have V6 supercharger and kickass kernelizer. I have no idea if Bravia Engine is just

a placebo effect or not.

CM10 is fastest for games, but doesn't mean that all games are compatible with it. Regular performance

isn't that great.

Stock froyo and GB are good for games, surprisingly. try CEE Deblur 3.4.2-179 or 4.5.1-134 DFP 231
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincrook:
FuZZ's CM7 builds are indeed really fast. I'm impressed!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Defier525:
I have done a speed comparison of various ROMs for the Defy and posted in the German Android forums, you guys might be interested int that.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captaincrook:
Does Fuzz do any CM9/10 builds? I'm new to the device so I don't know all of the devs yet. His CM7 isreally good and I wonder if he has recent newer builds to try.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksy+:
He use to do CM9 KANG's, but then stopped as Gingerbread was his choice and his priority and he couldn't keep up maintaining both CM7 and CM9 kangs for both DEFY and DEFY+... He might jump back to that, though... As you might have assumed already, his CM9 KANG's were the fastest CM9 builds at the time, yeah :)

It seems that you are only talking about gaming performance, so I don't get the point of your question.

Why I said that Pikachu MIUI was the fastest ever for me - no redraws of anything at anytime, instant start of any app, multitasking at its best (music playing in the background, playing a HD game, while switching to messaging and then back to the game without it reloading)... Stuff like that. I was really truly happy with my phone at that time, it looked awesome and worked great. Then ICS and JB showed up and now I just can't live without all those tiny new features :/ I miss Pikachu, nevertheless.

The most stable rom and pretty fast out there is MS2Ginger 4.0

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] findsujith:
Suggesting a good rom for Defy

Most of the best roms have come out of either Epsylon3 or Quarx... so they are the best developers... Apart from their good roms..

If you want GB - WIUI GB (v2.5.27)is the best according to me, great looks, customization, smooth... (based on MIUI) by Wajk

if you want ICS - JIUI4 / WIUI 4 equally good for reasons same as above... by Janeindiran / Wajk... Also try Moto Ice Gun(stopped updates??) / Paranoid Android ICS... by Brajesh Sharma...

if you want JB - I would suggest Paranoid Android... the latest version i guess... I am on version 1.992 downloading the 2.0 version... pretty neat i must say.... by Brajesh Sharma...

Having said that, you will need to explore and find which one suits you the most...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockmonkey1973:
fastest and best looking rom i have ever used on the defy is the white rabbit. based on cm7 kang but it has the go launcher installed by default so it looks very cool and there are loads of free themes available in the market so you can customise it so it is exactly how you want it. it also has a few nice extra apps installed that help with keeping the rom up to date. honestly i have been blown away and have had no force closes or issues. it is also very quick and everything just feels pretty damn snappy with most apps opening in a second or less.

i would avoid cm10. i tried it and is was a lag fest. dont get me wrong it looked great and for a port it is very impressive but it is slow with apps taking an age to open even after i had disabled virtually every app from the hwa settings. bottom line is the defy is old and the hardware was far from high end even when it was released so we cant expect miracles.

anyways that is my experience and others may have found cm10 to be perfectly useable. i didnt though and therefore cant recommend it. try the white rabbit... whats the worst that can happen... you dont like it and have to try something else... so what 5 minutes of your time maybe ten at a push.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
I see some topics about it. I plan to unlock and root as soon as I get the phone.

Just how important is it to backup this, and anything else I should backup too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] THE SKATER DUDE:
its pretty important.. nothing can go wrong by backing it up. once you root it back it up just in case so your new phone wont be a $600 paperweight!

When you install CWM do a nandroid backup of stock
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
That's good to hear. I figured I'd make stock backup too. Having stock rooted won't mess it up I'd presume? Is there an app that does it too?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joaquinla1:
I have flashed all the roms available, including CM10 and had no trouble with IMEI. Always good to backup though. There's a fairly simple process in the CM10 OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
It's built in I assume?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] THE SKATER DUDE:
once rooted and you have installed clockwork mod recovery or TWRP you can make a back up of your whole phone..this will not mess up anything. You can get these two recoveries by using the ez recovery app on google play....... To make a backup in the recovery it will say backup and restore as one of the main options
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
Sorry I don't think I was clear, I know about ROMs cause I do it on my Incredible. What I meant was backing up my IMEI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] THE SKATER DUDE:
O my bad you have to be rooted in order to run the operation through a terminal emulator app
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] coldcaption:
If you poke around in development there's one for Mac/Ubuntu (I think Ubuntu anyway) that does root and clockwork recovery from your computer, and that's what I use because it's pretty quick and easy.

If it can ever be important you should make a backup of it though. Since fixing things is always a process, having comprehensive resources for it can trim a lot of time.

Using QPST it only took me like 5 minutes to back mine up. Really simple. Then I put a copy of the file on my HD, on my phone's SD card and one on my Google drive. Now I'm sure I can't lose it. LoL they are small files too. Under 500kb

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ka1z0ku:
I lost my IMEI and other connection data with a bad flash of a CM10 nightly. I had to do a lot of stuff, including manually typing in my IMEI using QPST and then returning my phone to the Verizon store for them to do some factory-reset style stuff to it before I got connectivity again. (Even though I was bone-stock with a re-locked bootloader they still knew I had rooted and messed with the kernel and other stuff, btw). And its not completely correct, even though I am in my home service area I constantly have the flashing grey triangle that says I am doing international roaming. Pretty weird. So long story short, backup IMEI and everything else BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Recon0212:
That's good, I'll probably put it on my Skydrive then too.

Is there a high chance of losing it on flashing though? I just plan to flash CM10 really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdk2:
Yes, there's always a chance you'll loose it. Better to be safe, than sorry. It only takes a couple of minutes to backup and it may save you the hassle of an exchange.

alright so i rooted my kf using kfu a while back and was just rocking with golauncherex and extras that came with the kfu, I decided i would load a rom using twrp, so i did a backup on twrp twice just to make sure if i didn't like the rom that i would be able to go back. I loaded the eyecandy rom and was not happy with it so i decided to go back to what i was doing before. I went to restore, selected my package and the process starts,and it is able to restore the system, but while restoring the data and the completion bar gets about halfway, the teamwin log curtains down and when i go to reboot i get the kff screen but then it flashes and only gives me a black screen. Am i doing something wrong? I would really like to go back to what I had so any help would be appreciated. I am familiar with rooting and roms, and have never had trouble in the past. thanks.

Sorry it took so long.

So this is the next best thing I can think of to do.

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!!!!

Download and extract keyboard.zip from the link below.

I set up the file structure to match where the files need to go. Figured it'd be easier.

Copy the files from the zip to the matching folder on your system. Mind the permissions, reset them to the originals.

Reboot phone and give it a try!

BUT DON'T FORGET TO HAVE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!!!!

If you feel like it you can do all at once or a few files at a time, testing along the way to narrow down which ones were really needed.

Keep in mind. I do NOT know if this will work. It is entirely possible I may have missed a lib or other file when I went through everything. I think i got everything, but you are welcome to check and try other files you think may help that I didn't include. I think you'll get the idea of what I'm trying to do.

If I think of anything else to try, ill let you know!
