My friend installed some wallpaper thing on her rooted 2.3.5 EVO 4G.

Now none of the capacitive buttons work.

You can't slide screen around.

No pull-down works.

Power button doesn't do anything.

All you get is the desktop wallpaper.

I've already tried clearing cache & davlik.

I do have ADB access and CWM works.

Is there anything I can do to un-do whatever she f'd up?

Really need to get in there so I can back up all her apps and call log and texts, etc.

After doing a nandroid backup, I tried re-installing her ROM that I found on the SD card. But it wiped everything out. So I'm restoring the nandroid now.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
Sounds like you're on the right track with the Nandroid restore. Go with a RA-based recovery instead of CWM. Read up on task killers for Android (or tell your friend to), as it's a mixed bag. I've used them in the past but currently I don't. It sounds like the problem started when she started using the task killer. She could have killed the launcher which might have led to the issues she encountered. I've used MikG before and it has a task killer baked in, but I've never had any issues with it. I'd also check into Apps2SD if you aren't familiar with it. Unless the phone's SD card is partitioned, Apps2SD won't work to begin with. Everything sounds fixable, though.

OK, more specifically, is the store the only place you can do it and does data work? Thanks guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Don't think many people have had tons of success porting Verizon and Sprint models to different carriers.

But why bother? If you want cheaper service just get a GSM model and put it on one of the dozen MVNOs that run on AT&T and T-Mobile. You'll get faster service and you wont be relying on a hack to get it activated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Breakthecycle2:
Hmmm...thats a good option. Any good suggestions for US?

Find one on Craigslist and go to Simple mobile. They're good and you'll have HSPA+ for like 40$

Does the phone have to be unlocked to use on one of these? Or just GSM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shreddintyres:
most GSM versions are already unlocked, if you purchase from the play store the GNex is factory carrier unlocked and will work on any gsm network, if you purchase from craigslist pay special attention to which model number they are selling, if it is i9250 it will come factory unlocked for carriers.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techphets:
Hi,

I am considering flashing CM10 to an AT&T S3. There is a post on an Android blog which states the following regarding flashing CM10:

If I create this NANDroid backup with clockworkmod, can I simply restore back to it after flashing CM10 to revert to stock? No other steps other than selecting backup/restore in clockworkmod?

I was running CM7 on an Atrix 4G and had created a NANDroid backup but later learned that to restore stock I would need to either flash a fruitcake from the house of pudding or flash the riskier SBF, or something like that. I never tried because I never felt comfortable enough with the processes.

Now I am just wondering if the revert-to-stock process for AT&T S3 from CM10 would be the same. If there is a revert guide please point me to it. I've found comprehensive CM10 flashing guides but not revert ones.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcaz:
I'm about to go out to dinner and don't have time to explain this, but you should really google the different regional versions of the GS3 before asking advice on flashing your AT&T version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techphets:
I have Googled and Google, both before posting and after. Perhaps my Web searching skills are horrible.

Regardless, I have not found someone who has switched between CM10 and stock on an AT&T S3 or a tutorial detailing the steps to revert. Until I find some more info I am hesitant to flash.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I think what the poster was asking is do you have an International SGS3 I9300 or some other phone . Firmware from I9300 may brick non I9300 devices .

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BowlesCR:
I've got Google Wallet installed, and cards activated, but I can't seem to make it actually pay...

A couple of trips to the local McDonalds - waking up my phone and waving it over the red sensor part of their card reader does nothing... unlocking or having wallet open at the time doesn't help either.

What am I doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
Does your phone beep to let you know the nfc receiver has picked up an rfid signal?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jshokamp:
Did you have the NFC box check under settings more settings. It allows information to be sent between NFC device which is necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BowlesCR:
No response at all from my phone or the terminal. Might as well have been waving my hand over it.

Does the phone need a physical "bump" instead of a wave to do its thing? I would expect this to work much the same as my proximity company ID badge.

NFC is turned on. SBeam is off (does that matter?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
I always touch my phone back to the spot on the card reader. Do you have a case on your phone? There is only like a half inch of play before the phone is too far away. Try it again by tapping the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] netnerd:
yeah. i get embarrass too if wallet doesnt work. how embarrassing!

but they have nfc soda vending machines in Atlantis hotel casino in reno! i tried it there with wallet on my nexus without the embarrassment and it works!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEwHMk4qFTs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
"waving it over the red sensor part"

You dont know what your doing if you "waved" it. You must hold it up to the scanner for it to recognize. Also, if you have a case, it takes longer to pick up because the case adds thickness which reduces the bandwidth NFC can utilize due to a weaker signal.

Experiences: 8 successful payments. 1 failed (Walgreens isnt there yet)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyCap:
There is no red sensor where I used it. 7-11 and cumbys. It's the grey part above the debit/credit card scanner that has the nfc symbol....Walgreen's failed for me also the manager said they just recently installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
I've had the same exact problem as the OP. I tried mine at a local gas station where a friend works so I didn't look like a complete dunderhead and I tried it on 6 separate occasions and tried installing it several different times/ways and could never get it to work. They have the EZ Pay NFC reader above the credit card machine and every time I tried it it would not work no matter if I tapped it, took it out of the TPU case, got the cashier to hit credit, opened and unlocked the app. Nothing. It just simply refused to work. Maybe I'm just an idiot though, I just assume the EZ Pay NFC card reader would read my NFC chip in my phone. Maybe it won't. I am just at a loss. I just reset the app and went to my backup nandroid and left it along after all the attempts because I was so embarrassed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
i've only used it once thus far, i was worried it wouldn't work right since i never used NFC payments before so i had no idea how to do it......it took about 15 secs for GW to open up from a locked status on my phone then about another 20 secs for it to recognize the nfc scanner and to process a payment to mcdonalds, not bad, i had my card out in preparation though lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Joanni:
Try without a case.I had no comm using NFC due to my case blocking the signal somehow. took it off and now it works every time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
I had thought that maybe it would take a bit for GW to notice the NFC reader but i left it there for a full 5 minutes at one point, I was running my mouth, and it never pulled up GW nor recognized the NFC reader. Also this was with the phone off. Another thing I found funny about it was that it the app would not pull up as Ready to Use until I had let it set up my Play Store credit card they have on file. I dont know if the OP is having the same exact problem as I am but it sounds exactly the same. I have also tested my NFC with my girlfriends GS3 to see if maybe I recieved a bad battery or maybe my phone was somehow faulty but it pulled the fileshare using S-Beam off without a hitch so.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
My phone wasn't off, just locked. If the phone's off then the nfc reader is supposed to be off too. I found that just quickly opening GW right before touching it to the reader makes it happen almost instantly. At least for me already.

Beamed via NFC through the local store to the internet from my SGS3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Sorry about the misunderstanding. When I said off o meant my screen was locked. My phone just edited that part out. I have tried it like you did also, by opening the app right before touching it to the reader. Still doesn't work. It may just be an issue with my phone. No matter how I try to use it to pay it won't work...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zcmack:
i've had no issues having my nfc chip being scanned but i have yet to complete a purchase successfully. i'm going to chalk it up to the terminals not being configured correctly... my other nfc functions work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Some dont work for some odd reasons because the storemanager/higher ups dont know what it is so they might have disabled it for what ever reason.

I know Walgreens has scanners but does not work JUST yet, they are partners of the whole NFC movement thing.

Stores that have worked for me are.

Chevron, 7-11 ( had to tilt there scanner up), McDonalds, BJ's (like walmart), Vending Machines.

Doesnt work: Walgreens, Some Random gas station out of town

I find that if you see a LED blinking or on thats connected to the scanner, the scanner works, but if it doesnt scan right away its the case's fault or not placing it.

Source: I like to consider myself a Wallet expert haha, my thread is over in Developer Section to get wallet as well. Also all my purchases have been used using a Otterbox Defender, and take about 3-5 seconds to complete the transaction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyunny:
mine failed as well at a jack in the box drive thru. looked like a fool. haha

i took my case off, opened the app, clicked the lock in the corner, entered my pin, and held it up against the reader for a good few seconds but nothing happened. nfc was on. their reader had like 4 spots for lights and the first one was on with a solid green light so not sure, hopefully it was their reader. will try again at a 7-11 if I can get over the embarassment :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NeoMagus:
LOL at you guys thinking your case is giving you a problem, most likely you are not putting the battery (where the NFC is) up to the correct part of the terminal (your phone should chime or make a noise when its recognized, just like when Android Beam comes up),

or just plain out the terminal doesn't work (not your phone), a mcdonalds and wendys in my area they have them but nothing happens and one mcd across town works perfectly fine. Just depends on the vendor.

I have the Otterbox Defender on both my S3 and Galaxy Nexus, and haven't had a problem or delay yet as long as their terminal is working correctly, and they are pretty thick cases. As long as you line it up right and they work shouldn't be a problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tonu42:
Well said and 100% accurate. I bet the problems people are facing are user error or the terminal just doesnt work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbow32:
I've used mine on about three different occasions and it worked perfectly. But what's funny, I was in a local vzw store buying something. They have what looks like the press pass set up, tried to use it and it wouldn't go through. The girl checking me out was surprised and had no idea that you could even do that. Anyway, my point is that even though the card reader looks like it will work, if they don't have it set up it won't. Vzw's looks just like the ones at McDonald's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddarvish:
i dunno about you guys but coming from a GNEX i have a difficult time getting the nfc to work, but only because i keep holding the phone in the wrong place. for some reason the placement of the batter and the way i hold this phone is different enough that the gnex that i always end up having to wave the phone in a spiral or something till i get it to work.. oh well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wchill:
Got Wallet to work twice so far. Once at Stanford's Jamba Juice (the guy was all amazed when a few of my friends and I all paid with Wallet!) and once at the Google Store on their corporate campus. No problems whatsoever other than the fact that I had to fiddle with the phone a bit to get the NFC chip to communicate. Was running Synergy both times (forget the version, but it was 1.6/1.7 I think).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BowlesCR:
Sorry for the long absence... Still no dice. Was able to confirm that my NFC does work (kinda) by beaming to my buddy's phone... I'm not doing that part wrong.

Guess I just need to find some other place to try it... I wish I knew where one of these NFC vending machines was...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Same here. I can beam but it just doesn't seem to want to pull up and pay. I have been to several stores with working NFC and it just doesn't seem to realize its there. And for the guy above talking about we didn't know how to do it. I agree I don't, but when you pull GW up and touch the platform in every avaliable space and leave it in each space for avoid minute I think we can rule out user error. No need to treat us like 5 year olds.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tonesofheresy:
So I'm pretty new, well very new, to the custom rom/kernel/recovery/etc game since my last phone was a POS and there was no point trying to make it do anything special, but ever since I got my S III, I've been trying to learn everything about how it all works. I have a Galaxy Tab and put a custom ROM on it a long time back, but I was never all that crazy about the latest and greatest till this phone came along. Considering it's my sole source of communication, I obviously need it to be functional, but there's a side of me that says it would be very hard to truly brick this phone (and please don't correct me if I'm wrong :cyclops: ) Anyway, I've played around with a few ROMs out there and am currently running the latest Crimson build which I love so far. I have a couple questions for those educated in all of this. First, and probably simplest, I've noticed that after flashing a new ROM and signing in to my Google account, apps I've acquired from the market sometimes download and install right away and sometimes don't. Is this just a somewhat-random phenomenon or is it within my control? I always use the same settings (sync automatically, keep this device backed up, etc) but they don't always have the same effect and I'm curious about it. Second, what do you guys recommend in the way of backing up apps? Not program-wise, but theory-wise...I make Nandroid backups whenever I make a major change and occasionally make individual app backups with ROM Toolbox Pro, but I use Nova launcher and it seems that a simple backup of my desktop layout is enough to get back my original look with the new ROM (and then I just let the apps download from the market). Is there an even better way to do this that I'm unaware of? I know that backing up apps has the added benefit of backing up data as well, but in my experience, restoring both app and data to a new ROM seems to have adverse effects...I inevitably have to uninstall and re-download the app. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but, again, I'm new to this. My last and most important question is regarding something I read about custom kernels only being usable with the UVALEM baseband. I don't know anything about phone modems but heard some people were getting better speeds with UVALH3 so I decided to flash it. This may have been a convenient coincidence but I'd never before observed speeds above 7-ish Mbps (my area has pretty lousy 4g coverage) and my first speed test gave me 12. I'm a little confused because everything has suggested custom kernels are NOT COMPATIBLE (always emphasized, too) with any other baseband yet I have an overclocked custom kernel with the aforementioned radio and have had no problems. Have I missed something or is something unusual happening? Thanks in advance, and sorry for the long post!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] belly1026:
1. As for apps downloading automatically from google; when you first set up your account again after flashing, there is an option asking you whether or not you want to back up and restore apps to google. If you check the restore option, it will download the apps that you already own that's been backed up. I usually just back up and restore my apps using TitaniumBackup so I always leave this option unchecked.

2. When I back up my apps using TiBa, I don't bother backing up the data. I just back up the apps, and then restore just the apps. All the apps data will have been saved and will be reloaded when you restore them. I've never used ROM Toolbox Pro so I can't say if it works the same with it.

3. People get different speed with the different radios. You just have to try the different radios and see which one works best for you.

4. I'm not really sure about the Kernel, but when I flash a radio, as long as it's OS and Carrier compatible, I just flash away. When I say OS compatible, I meant that I wouldn't flash JellyBean radio on a ICS ROM. Not sure if that would work, but I've never tried it. When I say carrier compatible, I wouldn't flash AT&T radio on T-Mobile phones.

I hope I've helped a little bit.
