You can always leave your data if you wish especially if you are moving from a nightly to an rc. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions. That should be fine. Then if you wish to backup all data you should use Titanium Backup. However you should keep in mind that if you move from CM9 to CM10, you won't be able to restore the applications back! But you can restore the data. First you install the application from the market and then use titanium backup to restore the data of the application.

Remember that you can only restore user applications/data not system ones. So if you have contacts stored on the phone you'll lose them. Even calendar events which are stored locally. You need to snyc the contacts, calendar with google. And with regards to sms there is an aplication that can backup your sms for you unless you are not using go sms or handcent which have a built in feature.

With regards to kernels, CM9 and CM10 kernels are best for battery life (that's what most people say) but they do not have a lot of options available. In my case I cannot suggest you any kernels because I have International SGS2.

Check for dust on the connectors.

I had a tiny speck of dust on my dock connector that stopped it from charging, but still registered that it was connected.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
i blew in the connector and connected the charger.. will see what will happen in 10 mins.. thanks for that.. u gave me hope.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
its not about the plug.. even with the dock its not charging..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
im pretty sure now that its a software issue.. .i just need a little juice to reinstall another rom.. thats all i wish for.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
I had a similar issue, I could only charge through the dock, not with charger directly plugged into the tablet. I RMA`d it two times but the useless service tech sent it back claiming he found nothing wrong. What fixed it for me was opening the prime and switching off the power to the motherboard for about ten seconds. There is a small flip switch inside that does this. Some say that holding in the pinhole reset button for 30 seconds will do the same, and it`s definately worth a try. Also of course I would first of all try another charger as they have been known to fry.

Like you I was convinced it was software because it happened immediately after the .21 ota update and nothing else had changed.

Best of luck!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
i am now trying new charger.. then if nothing happend, ill send it back to asus. i dont want to open the prime yet.. i want to explore all possible solutions first.

thank you for your help.. appriciate it. its good to hear that you are not the only one that has the same bloody problem. this tablet made me not buy any products from them.. they couldnt manage to deliver a good product.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
That`s one way to look at it, I for one have no problem with Asus. I think the blame should be wider spread between Asus, nVidia and Google. I don't think it's a coinsidence that the Nexus 7 was realesed when JB was ready, Tegra 3 with ICS was problematic. I have bought several Asus products both before and after the Prime and I'm very satisfied. The RMA issus are with a third party company since Asus has no service tech in Norway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
when they release a product that first has screen issues,, charging issues,,, and not with up to date hardware,,, i consider that really bad.. i am really bugged about the i/o speed and performance. the galaxy s3 is WAYYYYYY faster in their i/o ....thats why we get laggs , browser issues , etc..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] brownrt:
It is quite possible there is something wrong with your power brick. i've had one go out
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
ive tried my sisters charger and it gave me the same result. its not charging at all.. but the light is on at the power button when its connected to the tab or the dock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fordwolden:
Have you tried pressing the pinhole reset for 30 seconds? That's supposed to cut of the power to the mb, which did it for me.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
pinhole????? WHERE IS IT?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bashir111:
the top one or the one on the side?

[HTC One X] *elmo*:
Press off and volume button down. Then check what is written on the top locked or unlocked...
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
I guess he means SIM unlocked, and as far as I know the only way to check it to try some different SIMs in it.
[HTC One X] death__machine:
Yeah, they used to call SIM unlocked iPhones Factory Unlocked. i.e Put any sim-card anywhere in the world and it will work.

But if op wants to know about bootloader then like *elmo* said, hold the power key & volume down for a few seconds, you'll see the bootloader.

I just wanted to post a thanks to Moscow Desire for the work on the A501. Being unable to post in development forums meant I couldn't put this in the correct thread sorry mods.

But cheers MD -my sluggish A501 sparked a new lease of life with Evil Alex V1 and I'll flash V2 tomorrow.

Thanks for your no doubt huge time investment and continued support.

Shakingaj
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No Problem. Glad it's going ok. IF V1 works ok, then not a lot of reason to go to V2. V2 can be a little tempermental on a couple of tabs.

However, I have some other stuff in the works. Shoot me a PM when you get the chance.

[Acer Iconia A500] pside15:
I wanted to add to this thank you for MD. He took a god bit of time to help me out the other day when I was having issues getting my A501 rooted and flashed. I was in panic mode but he helped me get through it and I'm now rooted and running his awesome ROM. Thanks again for helping me out over the weekend.

Thanks. I think I speak for a lot of folks here in the forums, when I say that we'll help you all in any way possible. Maybe one person's tricks might not work, but another's will. Sometimes, as in a lot of cases, it takes a combined effort. ;)

We expect you to do the same with other users.

You folks have fun. The 500/501 is really an awesome tab.

Hey guys, i'm lookin for the fastest (+stable) and overall best Custom ROM for the HTC One X.. Any advices? There are so many CROMs out there.. I dunno :o
[HTC One X] *elmo*:
My recommendation is ARHD 9.3.2 :thumbup: more here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1562603
[HTC One X] Wilks3y:
Viper Xs rom looks beautiful and is very stable from what I've seen, also think it's the only ROM that OTA updates straight to your device.
[HTC One X] vivek_bhoj:
if u want sense: go for ViperX{ full of customizations and u will just love it }

if u want no sense: go for tbadlen's CM10 or AOKP

if u want tablet mode: go for paranoid ROM
[HTC One X] Mal'akh:
Hm yes.. i tried CM10 but i always have some WLAN issues :o .. ViperX is sense, but i like it but 1st, is it as fast as AOSP (CM10 seems veeeeeeeery fast to me).. and i rly love some sense Apps like the Camera and some settings :x not sure..

I need a complete CM10 RC :D
[HTC One X] Huubs:
If you want most stable, get yourself a sense-based-rom like ARHD (stock but optimized) or if you want lots of customizations get Viper.

If you want speed, pick a Jelly Bean rom.

And you always can try a couple of roms to find what suits your needs.
[HTC One X] wsleone:
OrDroidX 1.2.0 and AHRD 9.3.2
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Customisations aside, I find the stock 2.17 rom as fast as custom roms and compared to some, faster.

I think the customisations can go too far and sometimes have a detrimental effect on performance.

[LG Optimus 2x] Colaplus95:
Hi!

I've got this weird problem with my phone. My phone has got 8GB of internal storage, and a 2GB Micro SD card.

Whenever I install a custom rom, it seems to restrict the 8GB of internal storage for me, so that I can only use the 2 Gigs on my SD card, and then another 2 Gigs of the internal storage.

Also, can I just remove everything on both the card, and the internal storage now where I'm gonna put another rom on it? Or would that mean flashing and rooting again?

Thanks!

- Cola
[LG Optimus 2x] creative-z:
Did you tried to unmount,and mount your internal memory?

About which custom rom are you talkin?
[LG Optimus 2x] Magikarp:
in CM9 Go to settings, storage, press the Menu button, and change the storage option to use Internal Storage. Reboot.

In CM7, go to Cyanogenmod settings->Application->use internal storage. Reboot

I had this problem for a while too but it was remedied quite easily :) Cheers.

[Motorola Photon 4G] lamborg:
Don't currently own one, just want to make sure about a few things. Searched through the Dev forum but still I am not 100% sure and that's why I am asking here, just to confirm.

1. Is the bootloader unlocked for all firmware so I can flash custom ROMs or do I need to check something to determine if the bootloader is unlocked? I read somewhere that firmware 2.3.5 9 or above cannot be unlocked.

2. Does it come carrier unlocked by default to be used in countries other than the US, I mean use any GSM SIM?

3. What other phone can you tell me to look at, with similar specs and price range? I am interested in unlocked GSM, doesn't matter if its CDMA or not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
1) Need to be on 2.3.4 in order to unlock bootloader. If ordering from sprint, it might already come with 2.3.5. Buy from eBay and make sure to have the seller confirm its on 2.3.4.

2) Its a world phone. Its only carrier locked in the united states. But there are ways around this.

3) As far as used price range, the GS2 is probably the closest mainstream competitor on sprint. Galaxy nexus being just a bit more expensive. But you lack world phone capabilities and the photon is arguably a better phone all around depending on who you ask.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lamborg:
Thanks for that.

So if its 2.3.5, there's no way to unlock it? Something like Torpedo or 1 click unlock for Droid 3 would help?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
You can root 2.3.5. but not unlock currently.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lamborg:
Ok so it means that I cannot flash custom ROMs right? But I can gain root access to modify the OS installed.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
2.3.5. locked means you have to use locked roms or the phone will fail to boot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lamborg:
can you link me to something to read to understand what I can do/not do with

root

and what with

unlock

? I searched, got something but its quite confusing. What I understand is Root = admin access like but don't know about the unlock.

I think bootloader should be unlocked to install custom ROM but then there's something called fastboot which only requires Root. Confused here. BTW does Unlock means Unlocked Bootloader?

I want to know that if I have 2.3.5 can I install ICS or JB?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
The rules are simple: You need to unlock the bootloader to install custom ROMs that use custom kernels. You can't unlock if you are on 2.3.5. You do not need to be unlocked to use custom ROMs that use STOCK kernels. We only have two ROMs that use stock kernels. The rest, including ICS and JB, use custom kernels so you need to be unlocked to use them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Hi,

i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, it's a Spanish device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS, some weeks after buying it got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. Then, about 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i tried to update a few times more but no luck, i always got the same messages so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published but anyway everything was working fine.

The curious thing is yesterday ( August 25, 2012), when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it (without uninstalling CF-Root 6.4, supersu, etc.) but the strange thing was, after the update completed fine, went to settings to check the version and i saw it still/again was 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there and everything worked as expected but on the other hand i think i already had 4.0.4 update installed on the device. Till that point one can think i got confused on the versions i got installed before the update and no major problem here. After that, as i already had root access on the device, i went to check if i still could run UMS app but it complained about missing root access so as i did before that last Android update took CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 to flash the device and get root access again (Without removing any previous install of CF-Root, super su, busybox, etc. ) but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again but i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update.

The only explanation i can find is the phone came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.

So my questions are, did i got confused about each version update? Then why can't i get root access again just repeating the same first process?

When opening busybox i can read "Not Enough Free Space in /system". Opening /system directory with Root Explorer i can read 1.05GB used, 436.39MB free. Is it right /system directory takes up to 1GB of the space? Why Busybox thinks there is 0.0MB free there?

Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!

Usual is to fail part way through an update ..

Suggest wipe the phone flash stock rom with Odin then root .

Hi,

i'm looking for a stock firmware for my SGS3 BaseBand I9300XXLH1 but i'm not able to find it. I think the firmware which came with my phone is unbranded and from Spain. But the question which i'm wondering is, do i really need to flash the phone? Isn't possible to solve the issue in another manner? After updating through OTA the rooted device, what's supposed to went wrong?

Lastly, what's wrong on updating a stock rooted firmware using Phone/Android update system? Don't understand how doing that can break the phone forcing me to wipe data and flash the phone.

Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot!

PD: After rebooting the phone in recovery mode i can see stock recovery has been installed with last update. Hope someone can make a bit of sense about it all. Thanks in advanced. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Thanks to both for your answers. Maybe it's stupid but i'm some what more peaceful knowing other people also happened the same issue although it still feels very weird. All i did is flashing with CF-Root 6.4.

I've been looking for the stock firmware which is supposed to came with my phone at sammobile site but i'm not able to find it, although at that point ( where the phone got the same update twice, 4.0.4 ) i don't think i can trust the information provided by the phone. Under phone settings i can see Model Number is GT-l9300 and Base Band Version is i9300XXLH1 but i can't find it no sammobile site. What i find at sammobile site is I9300XXBLH1 ( notice B letter ) but i think that before this weird behaviour happened the phone showed Base Band Version I9300XXBLFB.

Is it all possible or the weird one is me?

Kickasskev, did you got 4.0.4 update twice?

Thanks again to all! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
REPEAT BASEBAND IS NOT FIRMWARE nor is it firmware version .

0. Remove all root apps from your phone.

1. Back up your rooted rom in cWM.

2. Use triangle away to get rid of the traingle.

3. Format system and cache.

4. Flash an official rom.

5. You should have all your apps + settings on a stock rom without the status being 'modified'.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
I've used checkfus and now i know my firmware.

Thanks for the step by step tips, but my phone is not rooted so i cannot use cwm, triangleapp and so. I. Annot also remove cwm manager nor supersu. I suppose i'll have to flash stock firmware first of all. Am i right?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sibok:
Pretty strange, first time i rooted the device through cf-root6.4 it run flawlessly, but now i had to remove the battery after flashing ( while device was on ) and enter into recovery mode by hand which started the rooting process.
