So i installed Eagles Blood rom jellybean 4.1 to my G2x. In doing so i didnt do a back up of my old rom, and this new software cant read the sd card. But i want to get it back to gingerbread 2.3.3 because im tired of the crashes and not being able to take pictures.Can anyone help?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jma9454:
This is a question regarding Twa_Priv's 4.1.2 10/13 updated ROM.

1,) Does a TRRS headset (headphones with mic) work now? I know that lots of devs were working on getting the mic to work with jellybean, I just don't know if it has gotten around to working on the newly updated ROM

3.) I have had trouble with Amazon appstore not recognizing my KF as a kindle since the last ROM where I clean installed from scratch, so it won't let me install kindle-specific apps. Has anyone had this problem, and does anyone know a way to get around this?

4.) One more issue. I think that this is just a personal problem somehow. I have been having trouble restoring backups. I use Twrp 2.2.2.1 and it seems to create backups fine, it just wont restore them. I haven't tested out if it works with the last 3 builds, because then I have to start from scratch again if it doesn't work, and that takes a lot of time... I had twrp originally then switched to CWM because I thought I had to for an app, then discovered that I REALLY like TWRP better, so reflashed it, and it hasn't worked since then. Any pointers?

thanks

Hello all!

I have a hard bricked Galaxy 5 and I asked me if the hard brick damages only the battery?

Should I buy a new one?

Also, does it have DC-HSPA+?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daz_2000:
Yes to unlocked and yes to unbranded. I brought someones 3 upgrade and put my t-mobile sim card in.

Whats DC-HSPA+?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadfishGTB:
It's certainly unbranded, not a bit of bloatware to be seen. Can't comment on it being unlocked though as don't have another micro sim to try it. .. hopefully it is.

Is there another way of checking if the phone is unlocked?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MightyMuna:
try putting a non 3 network sim, and see if it works.

Up to 42mbps, Three should have it soon I think. The Galaxy S3 has it, so I'm wandering if this has it too.

I ask because I would have got the 4G one from T-mobile, but T-mobile are completely useless and I can't bare being on their network any more.

Just tested my Note 2 from 3 with my cousin's O2 sim card, pleased to report it's unlocked and worked fine :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadfishGTB:
Managed to try another sim tonight and I'm happy to report the phone is unlocked :)

I wonder if it's just the first batch from three though that come unbranded and unlocked?

The three customer service bloke advised me that there would be a charge to unlock the phone...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmergencyMedic:
I asked in the shop from a rep who seemed to know just about everything about the SGNII - HSPA IS on all 3s SGNIIs and it is not likely they will be getting 4G any time soon as "the standard" - probably at least a year (not sure if that means the same as DC-HSPA+).
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
Mine's an unbranded (no other microsim to test unlocked) but it frequently shows the 'H+' symbol.

Hi

Does anyone know if three actually block tethering on the ultimate internet tarriff, or just hold you in breach of contract if they find you? Am currently on orange and although you're not allowed to tether it works. I rarely do but its handy on the rare occasions when my home tinternet is down, for example. Would rather not stump up the extra for the one plan since tethering will be very rare.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3_:
As far as I know there's no way for them to tell if you're tethering or not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakewelluk:
First thing I did after going into the 3 store to get my Note 2 a week ago was head to a carphone warehouse nearby and cheekily ask if I could borrow a microsim from another network to see if my phone was unlocked. The girl in the shop was kind enough to lend me the vodafone sim from her personal iphone 4s (and was definitely impressed by the Note 2), and voila it turned out it was completely unlocked and unbranded!

Result!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragdim:
Just picked up a cheap xperia play from ebay (GB 2.3.4 rooted). I'm gonna be backing this up by copying everything from my SD card into a folder on my computer.

I will then delete all of the stuff from my SD card so I have enough room for titanium backup to put files onto the SD card (not using the cloud as a backup) before moving the titanium backup from SD card to computer as well.

My question is will this actually be a complete backup of everything on my phone, and if the need should ever arise, will it be a few simple clicks to restore? Thanks.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
From what I've encountered its a toss up. It will backup great but as for actual game data/sd data no. That data will have to be replaced or redownloaded. But thats only for free app. Not too sure about pro( as I am a cheap, tight wallet, low budget, kind of user.) LOL just always broke like my phones.!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragdim:
Not to be rude, but please reread my post; I said I'd be backing up the data from my SD card manually. The bottom line is this: will using the method I described provide me with a simple route to restoring should I ever need to?

In simpler terms, the method I'm going to use is this:

back up internal stuff with titanium and then move it to computer for safekeeping

move SD stuff directly to computer for safe keeping
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordomn:
Your not being rude...but I did read your post. & like I said it does a great job of backing up apps sys/user. I would suggest that you restore apps only. Now if you want a full backup you can install recovery to do a nan-backup.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
It doesn't have the instant photo with no shutter lag, right? And I see from CM10 that in JB recording is only mono, and there's no HDR mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverendingxsin:
It takes photo's instantly, no difference than the touchwiz camera in that regard. As far as features there are a few missing, but for the most part they are all there. Me personally it takes great photos for what i do, i never bought into all of the gimmick features like best shot and HDR mode :P

Hello. Do you have money to start this project?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DooMLoRD:
1) could be possible if we did some R&D using the TrimArea... but HIGHLY risky as it can VERY EASILY brick the device... unless someone has the JTAG/RIFF box to reflash the device to stock firmware this risk is not worth taking...

2) is possible if the above is achieved

3) can be done... Bin4ry did it for Xperia X10 but its kinda pointless with the new devices as for any of this to work the pre-requisite is that the "current firmware" is rootable... i have the old splboot sources for QSD8x50 which could be modified or newer sources could be used for getting this to work on msm8x60 platform but again does it really matter if the device firmware cannot be rooted?

and to add to that we know that the JB Firmware will soon be released and it will bring the 3.4 kernel with it... so the whole process will have to carried out again...

if any experienced dev is interested in pursing this further do get in touch with me... i can give u a few pointer and/or get u in touch with the right people ;)

After 4 phones XS ... i quit... I don't want nothing. The last xs was at warranty 2 time.

1: my compas, accelerometer, giro sensors where dead. - they give me a new one

2: was over heating just by web browsing. So i give exchange it with an Galaxy S2.

I dont know why but the s2 is moving quicker, stock rom + kernel much more high score at benchmarks.

So ... I hope you dont think that I'm that kind of person to say that this or that is more ok.

If there are any issues you may come across when using this tool then post here so we all know about it.

UPDATE: We have just found out if you are running a custom Kernel, When you reboot your phone it will restart the Flash Count back to 1.

But its ok so if you need to send it back to samsung all you do is flash official firmware and kernel back on then Run Triangle away and reset flash counts, It will now stay at zero even when you restart the phone.

Thanks to Chainfire :)
