Good deal your welcome and once they get the graphics fixed there will be a new one
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boateys:
Ohkay I have a new issue and I would like to apologize now for blowing up this thread. I used the CWM, which seems to work well, and I factory reset through that but again the same issue occurred with it just wiping my information. This time there was an issue with the phone process stopping but I think it has fixed itself. Does anyone have a copy of the 4.0.4 stock firmware that I can flash. I was tempted to use the i8730 firmware but that device though named the same but definitely has different hardware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdawson28:
Dont flash it unless it is for our phone there was someone else did the same thing flashing stuff made for other phones someone is gonna have to pull a factory image for us before we can do any restores
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boateys:
Ohkay thanks. I guess I will try to work with what I already have. Which is alot anyway.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
the name factory reset is perfectly spot on, if you were stock (and since you arent supposed to root you would be ;) ) then it would wipe out your /data partition cleaning out your apps and settings etc since you didnt alter /system (since you werent rooted) then you would be to like brand new status.

since you altered system there isnt anything factory reset will do, youll need the stock firmware. someone can make an odin package fairly easily, or even a stock cwm flashable rom.

I'd suggest using ES File Explorer with root privilege enabled in the settings and finding the file in there and deleting it straight in the app.

Anyways, I finally got the recovery to flash from the one click. Is the only issue the graphics? If so, is it safe to start talking about maybe making a flashable ROM of Cyanogen Mod? If the graphics are the only issue, then we can get around that until they are fixed later, right?

Sorry for the noob post

Hello all. first I want to thank the hard work on this. I really enjoy the customizability of androids and have rooted past devices. Me being a noob, I deleted without backing up apps on my i437 running 4.0.4. Has a way to restore been created? Unfortunately I'm no where near being a developer and have gotten lost in the developer speak. However I can follow directions quite well any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rdawson28:
As of now we have no complete stock rom for you to flash what apps did you delete or what apps are missing maybe someone on 4.0.4 can give you a copy of those apps so that you can update root and pust custom recovery

have you tried downloading it from the store if you flashed the recovery you should have root get superuser off the store and try it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
I would recommend disabling CWMR signature verification option under "apply zip from sd card" then select the "signature verification" option and it should say signature verification disabled. Once you have disabled signature verification you should be able to flash the su+ zip without running into signature verification issues.

okay and i will see this option to diasble the signature verification when? when i hold power/hold/volume up for the update?

First make sure your in Clockworkmod Recovery (Power + Volume Up) then after you go to the option for "apply update from sd card" then you will see the option for "signature verification". After selecting the option for signature verification it should show text that reads something similar to "signature verification: disabled". Once it has been disabled you can flash the zip file.

How to install the update over 4.0.4, and not lose root?

Thank you for the warning. I did flash my phone back to stock 4.0.4 tar with Odin 1.85, (thanks for the link) and it went well. And did the rooting using the UnlockRoot PRO. Then removed the bloatware. I downloaded the update 4.1.2, but did not update. Made a ZIP of the update. Can someone please tell me how I can flash this update and not lose root? I have installed the CWM by shabbypenguin. If someone can do anything with the update.zip, I can upload it somewhere.

By the way, i used Triangle away to reset my Odin Counter which was going at 7. Now back to '0' and Official.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
you remove the bloatware and you block updates, if you want 4.1 then you need to reflash the tar and this time dont mess with anything
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] premsuni:
Well, I guess I'll stick with 4.0.4 until someone comes up with a ROM of 4.1.2 or above. Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
no need for all that.

flash the tar, do the update, install cwm and use that to root.

then you can freeze bloatware with things like titanium backup, just dont remove the apps. youll be on 4.1 and have root

Download the file,

rename it as update.zip,

save it on the External SDcard,

restart your phone in recovery,

select install zip from sdcrad,

apply/sdcard/update.zip

that will install the update as long as you've not messed with your phone - like somehow deleting the system apps.

good luck

I've been getting 3-4 DAYS on my Express with light use. Amazing is an understatement!

If it wasn't for the memory usage (leak?) with JB i'd be extremely happy camper with my Express. There's no reason it should be using 589MB with nothing running.. Well obviously things are running lol I mean it only shows a few things running:

Settings 41MB

Google Voice 22MB

Google Services 13MB

Maps 6.9MB

Swype 49MB

That's it.. I've disabled most of the bloat but still grows to nearly 600MB used.

No way does that add up to 589MB, 223MB free..

Anyone got ideas to see what's taking up the mem?

Now that there's a stock ICS rom I'm tempted to throw that on here & block the update to JB.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabbypenguin:
rdawson please dont take this as an attack by any means, i intend it as constructive critisim.

since you used a kitchen you didnt take teh time to learn what all was going on and what needed to be done. im willing to bet a large sum of money you didnt look over the updater stuff. since it mentions MTD partitions (havent been used since the nexus s), you are prolly using the old and worthless updater-binary included with the kitchen.

also the add data app option doesnt swap them it just m akes the folders in the zip for you to add in apps incase you didnt know how to make a new folder and tell the script to extract it.

my suggestion is to swap out the binary, research about updater-scripts and find out what needs to be fixed on yours. then you should have a rom that boots/flashes.
