[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BaDly2112:
Nope, my service provider is T-Mobile Croatia. Here in Croatia we have LTE network on 1800 MHz, and that is the reason why i flashed with Telestra ROM, telestra also have LTE network on 1800 MHz frequency.

I tried few other ROMs that I downloaded from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338919 but with no success regarding LTE which is logical because cingular, SKT, vodafone....they have LTE networks on other frequencies.

I think that I could solve my problem by flashing radio, but I can't find anywhere some other radio for my Velocity/Raider/Vivid...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I don't think that even with s-off we can flash radios...

Something about an engineering hboot that we don't have... I might be wrong though....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
i would think it would work.. also mg is correct i remember reading something about it needing 2 bands.. 1 up and 1 down
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BaDly2112:
Yes, I read about that too, but I think that is important for USA where they have 2 LTE frequencies, and here we only have 1800 MHz.

Do you know where I can download some radio roms ?

THNX
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
We only have two radios....the one from GB and the one from ics

You can try your luck with a sensation or amaze radio...but your at risk of bricking you device....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
... Because you have to rewrite the ril when you change radios
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] BaDly2112:
What type of radio roms do you have ?

Mine is 3.02.4740.09_34.20.701040.19L and with that radio LTE doesn't work. :crying::crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TryingToBeBetter:
Yes, I'm a noob, and I was simply installing applications from the store based on reviews. Thank you all for spending the time to read this post; should you respond, thank you even more!

T-Mobile Galaxy S III 16GB.

NO SD card installed! - /sdcard apparently mirrors the phone storage.

Otterbox Defender case installed by the salesman.

On PC, installed Odin 3.0.4

Rooted via http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-root-galaxy-s-iii-att-t-mobile-or-sprint-model-tutorial/

included the CWM_SuperUser_v3.0.7.zip file from there

Failed to get CM10 installed

Installed ClockworkRecoveryMod 5.8.4.6

Installed CM10 (20121110 Nightly)

Installed Google Apps

Set a long password

** Encrypted storage **

Installed GetJar, Google Play, DroidWall

Set Droidwall to whitelist mode; allowed only GetJar and Google Play store/Download app/Play services access.

Installed LBE Privacy Guard (I had no idea there was any issue with JB)

Granted LBE Privacy Guard Superuser and let it remember SU rights (that was a mistake too)

On PC (Windows 7), installed Android SDK 20.0.3

On PC, used SDK to download platform tools and Google USB driver.

Attempted to follow tmpfs instructions in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1401813&page=2

ADB shell responds with "device not found" when in the CWR screen.

ADB shell has a limited amount of time to respond when in the main OS after the decryption password is entered.

After booting the phone into the main OS and decrypting the phone, I can get the normal unlock kscreen. However, the screen goes blank and re-locks right around the time I can get my unlock password entered - if I go really fast, I have a second or two after. Eventually it reboots itself and the cycle starts over.

I can definitely use the power button at the decyrption screen to reboot into recovery or download modes.

In the CWR screen, of course, I can't mount /sdcard, since it's encrypted.

How can I recover to a useful function, either by disabling LBE Privacy Guard, deleting LBE Privacy Guard, or resetting the phone to bare CM10 and/or stock?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TryingToBeBetter:
On PC:

Followed wiki Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK

Note that device showed up as Samsung.... before, now it's Android ADB Interface.

Tried again

boot in Recovery

ok

format cache partition

"wipe cache partiton" ok

adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard

no error

adb push cm-10-20121110-NIGHTLY-d2tmo.zip /sdcard

168375589 bytes in 31.947s

use the recovery to flesh the ROM as usual

??? I tried:

install zip from sdcard

choose zip from sdcard

And the SIII responded:

E:Can't mount /sdcard/

I then tried

adb shell

df

And saw no sdcard

ls -al

showed that the CM-10 was now "sdcard", so I tried:

mv sdcard cm10.zip

mkdir sdcard

mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard

df

this shows /sdcard is a "none" filesystem

mv cm10.zip sdcard

cd sdcard

ls -al

shows cm10.zip

In CWR, I again try "choose zip from sdcard

And again get:

E:Can't mount /sdcard/

In adb shell, I see

df

none 849028 164600 684428 19% /sdcard

ls -al | grep sdcard

drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 60 Jan 3 20:02 sdcard

Again, if anyone can provide me with some assistance, I'd appreciate it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TryingToBeBetter:
The actual set of fixes:

1) To remove LBE Privacy Guard, boot into "Safe Mode" by holding down just the lower left "menu" touch sensitive button (NOT the actual home button) during a reboot. Then remove LBE Privacy Guard.

You can then use the phone. Regrettably, neither CWM nor TWRP can see the encrypted data, nor back it up, nor install files from it. Goomanager doesn't, therefore, appear to be able to apply updates to it. Overall, the system tools on Android are just not capable of handling an encrypted device at this point in time.

2) To remove encyrption and allow most of the system level apps to work again:

2a) Back everything up as best you can. I used Titanium Backup Free and Mybackup Root Free to do inital backups, and then "adb root" and "adb pull / drive:\path" to get as much as I could of that local. I also used "adb pull /data/data drive:\path" (or maybe it was "adb pull /data/data/ drive:\path") to make sure I got "drive\path\com.android.providers.contacts\databases" which contains the SQLite Contacts database, just in case.

2b) Boot into TWRP (installed via Goomanager)

!!? Probably not required ?!! 2c) Wipe everything - EVERYTHING. Format EVERYTHING, even when it warns it could be bad.

2d) Use Odin to load up the Stock Root66 rooted ROM from the thread: T-Mobile, Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron Samsung Galaxy S III > T-Mobile Galaxy S III Android Development > [Firmware/OTAs] T999(V) Official, Leaked & Root66 FW & OTA Updates! (sorry, no hotlink - I don't have enough posts)

2di) Remember to follow the instructions in page 2 of that thread VERY CAREFULLY

2e) Boot into Recovery mode again after the device tries to ask you for the encryption password (which no longer works). Then wipe the /data partition entirely. Reboot again

2f) Now you can go through initial setup on your rooted phone and install your preferred ROM normally.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike0921:
Hi to all,

1. Awhile ago (in a distant galaxy, far away...) I rooted my Hero and moved over to CM7(a couple of times before getting it right...) During the process then, I failed to safeguard the nandroid backup, and no longer have that to fall back on...

2. Recently, I signed on with Hulu, and now want to use the Hero for watching videos and discovered... no way. I have spent a few days looking into this googling and going where it took me, and have spent today spending my time here looking. After searching and coming away with the realization that it isn't going to happen, I spent some time reading the first eight pages on the forum here to get familiar with the why's and why not's... but still have this little bit of hope that I have missed something... and I stumbled across the Zero Hero mod.

So, before I replace CM7 with Zero Hero, I thought I would check with folks who know way more than me....

1. Not having the original nandroid backup on file to use" in case of emergency" should I just leave well enough alone or use a recent nandroid backup of the currently working system (I am really unfamiliar with backing up in general...) to fall back on? I see no reason to ever need a backup of the original system that came with the Hero but... just checking!

2. If I utilize Zero Hero and replace CM7, will I be able to install Adobe Flash 10.1... or 10.2.. and use it to use on the web in general and Hulu specifically?

3. Am I trading of anything of consequence or importance by replacing CM7 with Zero Hero? (I am of the understanding at this point that CM7 is just not going to work with Flash Player. I also see that I will probably have to use another browser like Dolphin rather than the "stock" on the phone now with Zero Hero which is okay as far as I see things now.)

I will thank everyone now and again later (!!) for any answers, thoughts or opinions on any of the 3 questions together or any single question that they can help with! If your answer is to go ahead and buy a new phone... then I will start shopping!

Thanks a ton for your time and help,

mike :fingers-crossed:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajrty33:
A nandroid is just a snapshot of how everything is at that moment. So you can make a nandroid now and will always be able to go back to it for whatever reason.

Going between cm and sense is just a matter of preference. They both have benefits. Its just a matter of preference. You can install zero and nandroid, then go back to cm or switch between them as you wish.

Flash will never truly work on the hero. The sense roms have flash "lite" but flash won't fully work.

I was addicted to my hero and couldn't think of switching to a new phone. I finally did about a month ago and it really is amazing how much farther new phones are from the hero. I'd sadly recommend upgrading if it's within your means, but there's a few that are always here to help with the hero.

:good:

Thanks for your help. After all the effort so far on this, admitting this is deflating... your reply really confirms the slow dawning of this creeping around my head. It is time to retire the Hero I guess after all. :crying: It has been a faithful sidekick all these years.

Off I am to find a new phone, but what to do with all this info. I have acquired??? :D Guess I'll try to share it when I can...

Can I ask if you would recommend the phone you now have? Unless something else has come out since or is on the horizon??

Really, thanks, I do feel like I gave the Hero all I could :highfive: Closure, it does kind of feel good!

I switched to Verizon from cspire for several reasons. It's awesome having 4G. I got the s3. I'm loving it. The nexus 4 is coming out soon. I looked around for awhile before i decided. It was difficult going to a 4.8" from a 3.2" but it's nice to have more real estate. Its just up to you. Play with them at the store and you'll eventually find one you like.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ole_G_S3:
I'm running Goodness 4.0 rom on my Sprint SGS3. I noticed in the Rom Updater menu under Bug Fixes that theres a zip called "Hotspot Hack". When you download it it gives you a file called "jb_hotspothack". I of course thought that was going to fix the JB hotspot issue but when I flash it nothing happens. At least not from what I can tell. Can anyone explain to me this is. Your response is greatly appreciated.

[Nokia Lumia 920] alodar1:
As originally described, I thought it was hoaky. But watching it in action a couple of times, I like it. I do see that when installing the apps, I always seem to get several apps that need attention, and won't resolved.

But, text messages are saved, Themes are saved, but NOT screen layout. Login for accounts are pushed with a prompt.

Takes most, not all, of the pain of a hard reset away.
[Nokia Lumia 920] iosub:
For me is useless.

It just copy the list of the installed apps WITHOUT the data!

It does not save the start screen..

Conclusion, if you hard reset the phone you can just restore the list of apps some configurations and SMS..

I was waiting for the same iCloud backup :(

[Nokia Lumia 920] alodar1:
Really? It installed all of my 40+ apps. That alone makes it descent.
[Nokia Lumia 920] tomcahill:
I think it's useless as well. If you're using an unlocked phone it doesn't work at all. You can't go through the setup properly because you have no data until you input your APN. Once you do, you have no chance to restore from backup.
[Nokia Lumia 920] adiliyo:
i didn't think much about it until i switched my black 920 for a white one, and man was it nice having it download my apps and input all my settings for me. it's still a little buggy (with the apps that require attention and the lack of the start screen layout being saved) but it's a pretty handy feature imo.
[Nokia Lumia 920] alodar1:
I think the apps that require attention are the preinstalled Nokia apps needing update. As long as I know what they are, I'm good.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Seed 2.0:
It installed 79 apps for me, (except for Nokia Exclusives, Qty.4), I had to enter email passwords, and my setting were all restored. Compaired to what we had to do before had Im happy. I imagine it will get better too. As for app & game date backup I have a few games and apps that offer them via the app.

Work in progress:

Fix for the old update-binary (if the zip package contains normal installer then use the built-in version from the ramdisk, if the update contains aroma installer use the one from the zip package)

Fix for the android_secure backup/restore

Fix the UI bugs (correct some button/checkbox position and remove some useless thing)

Aroma Filemanager instead of the built-in filemanager

Fix the errors with the busybox what compiled with twrp (to make standalone twrp, no need external busybox or cwm recovery to use it)

What version is this cwm....... Can i port this to the stock kernel??
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
With Jelly Bean repos, your config not working. The recovery compiling without error. But the made recovcery doesn't work. The Blue background and teamwin text flashing constantly... Now I try to find why...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Go there: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2 (link added to the first post)

This is NOT ClockWorkMod :) This is TeamWin Recovery V2.3.1.1 :) And as I wrote: this project is open source. If you want to port for stock kernel, you can do it. Only one request: please inform me about your work. ;)

No idea why. :( Try to use the precompiled binaries. If these binaries work with JB kernel, maybe I forgot something, or need to add something. The source based on the official JB branch of TeamWin Recovery. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
no, the prebuilt recovery doen't work too.. But I don't see the init.rc change in your first post.

I think that:

Adding .:/sbin after export LD_LIBRARY_PATH before any other path...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Yes, I forgot it, later I will correct it. :) (now on mobile). But the prebuilt binaries contains this mod. And when you compile the recovery, the listed folder in the 1st post contains the correct init.rc. And how to use the recovery? Try to use it with chroot.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
no, that not the correct for me... in my kernel init.rc very different from that.. Trying to change all needed file to twrp recovery file... So I want use twrp only one recovery in kernel now.. If working I will make the dual recovery method or modular recovery... But now I go to bed because tomorrow I will working. So the next compiling is tomorrow evening...
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
The compiled init.rc is correct for the recovery. :) I think better if you use it in dual recovery mode, and make standalone twrp recovery after a longer test period. And I think better if you re-init the phone with the recovery own init.rc file instead of replacing existing files in ramdisk. This method clean and work, and compatible with the kernel what have recovery partition. :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
I'm going to compile now using the jb-wip branch. Will let you know how it goes.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Umm...pilu1978, your modified kernel's init (the one in the recovery folder) is smaller in size than that of mine. Also would the same bootrec work on ICS kernels? I'm pretty sure it will. However when I tried it didn't boot (missed out some bits of code, I guess). So I'm going to use your one now and test. Will report what happens. ;)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] TeamMex:
Good work bro ;)

downloaded and testing now

cheers
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] GuestK0073:
For those who want to test it on other kernels here is the .zip edition:

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B_4r4JB1Is2QX3VSSDBZZF81ckU/edit

Download then install from CWM & enjoy
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Yes, it can work with all kernel. The init binary compiled from CM7 sources, this is the reason of the smaller size. The init in ICS/JB kernels a little bit bigger, these binaries contains additional user groups, etc, but for the recovery this is not important. The init.rc is much smaller because it NOT contains the basic file structure/settings what needed for the ROM. The recovery can work with a totally empty phone without any ROM, because this is INDEPENDENT from the installed (or not installed) android version (you also use CWM what compiled with CM7 source tree in your ICS/JB kernels without any problem). The bootrec is only a simple script, what contains some conditions (what happen IF key pressed and what happen IF you touch the screen). You can use any script when the phone booting (call with exec command in init.rc/init.delta.rc :)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
It still didn't work. When I tap the screen, it boots into CWM touch. :confused: Now I'll try and use your binaries and see what happens.

@feherneoh

Good work bro. Works like a charm.
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
You use the bootrec from 1st post? Try to use the one from the sample kernel, later I will check the posted bootrec, maybe forgot something...

EDIT: looks like the posted bootrec and the other in the sample kernel is near 100% same. Two differences:

1. In the kernel the bootrec check the screen type and select the correct version of touch cwm (this is absolute not do anything with twrp)

2. In the kernel bootrec file a secondary condition exist to start twrp, it will start IF touch the screen OR a file exists in /cache/recovery (I add options for boot to twrp in my own rom, but it can't be a reason of cwm starting instead of twrp)
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Nope, using your binaries didn't work either. :(
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] Daveee10:
Do not worry, I have also the same with JB ... Neither compiled nor Pilu's prebuilt does not work .. Always start the CWM ... Pilu is the kind of ramdisk used ... complete one-to-one ...

So I think the ICS/JB init file in ramdisk root breaks this... or init.rc
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] sgt. meow:
Hmmm....any ideas guys? I mean normally CM7 recoveries work on CM9 and CM10 w/o any problems. Anyways how's AOKPJB going? :D
[XPERIA X8 Original Android Development] pilu1978:
Sent your binaries/ramdisk. The prebuilt binaries MUST BE GOOD, they working in the sample kernel, and in the .zip file what feherneoh made. :)
