[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartke12:
Hi, I have a Nexus 4 and it is not rooted.

I want to root it, the problem:

I have many apps and emails accounts configured and dont want to make the whole procedure again.

I know that, if I root, will loose all my data.

Is there any way to make it like this:

1. backup all my configurations and apps

2. root

3. restore, and all will be working?

Follow the guide. First time I used it... I made a few backups with different configs incase I needed to put it on different phones.

Works like a charm
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Don't use a toolkit. Figure it out on how to do it on your own because when something is wrong with your phone a toolkit won't fix your problem because op doesn't know how fast boot flash work
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] short/y:
If you use ADB BACKUP or a toolkit that uses it, be prepared. Some apps will likely NOT be backed up. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35270239#post35270239

I agrree, though, you're better off if you can do it without using a toolkit.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I use the app DataSync to backup app data to dropbox. Once you have the phone setup again and the apps downloaded you just sync it with your DataSync files in your dropbox account and the data will be restored. I would not try and sync system apps just user apps.

Unfortunately there currently is no way to root without unlocking the bootloader.
[HTC One X] Stuar:
Right i know ive posted before but i have had a lot more since i posted last and now im in another different situation

About a week ago i was running Hboot 1.28 along with ARHD 12.1(i think)

Randomly during the day changed my gmail account to a different email that went fine

Next i ended up having some random SuperUser commands asking me to do random things that had never seen before so i denied them and my phone was running as normally

Few hours later all my apps started crashing starting with process.com.gapps.process i think? and then everything else crashed

So i thought ahh its just my rom messing about so i wiped and then re-flashed (yes i installed the boot, and wiped properly and didnt install any tweeks) and as it booted up everything crashed and it reboots and bootloops

So i tried a few different roms to see if it would work and i got the same problem on EVERY rom i tired including ARHD MAXIMUS

So i posted on here and was told to reflash hboot up to the latest which i did at the time it was 1.31 and i still had the same problem even when i flashed the recovery boot image and new roms ect

I messaged football on twitter to find out when the latest RUU would be released and waited a few days to flash the latest RUU WWE for JB which was for my CID which is HTC_001 so i flashed that and everything went completely fine so i let my phone boot up and then the same problem happened

I then unlocked it again and left phone charging in recovery over night like i normally do

and now my phone is hard bricked im pretty sure i cant even turn it on?

any ideas?
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Ok, so you can't turn it on? That's seems somewhat more important than changing your email account.

So you last had it in recovery (which one? CWM 5.8.4.0?) and it was charging? Then, some time later it was dead, right?

So when you plug it into a usb charger (give it 5 minutes) does the charging light come on? And what about a USB port?
[HTC One X] Stuar:
Aha, i cant turn it on as of today i changed my email account about a week ago

i had the latest CWM yes 5.8.4.0 and yes it was, and last night it is now dead and wont even turn on

I have tried wall charger i get nothing havent tried USB when i get back home in a couple hours ill give it another go and use the USB
[HTC One X] XxKU134xX:
Seems like a hardware fault, you can't hard brick an s on device
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Can you hear input sound in windows when you plug it in? Does anything show up in device manager?
[HTC One X] Stuar:
Right ive finally plugged it into my laptop and now i got the red light charging, i can now get into fastboot
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Since you are already unlocked, try to install some ROM.

There has to be something wrong since the problem persists on every ROM.

You sure you wiped everything you can? SD-card also?
[HTC One X] Stuar:
I haven't done the SD card, so ill give that a try, so wipe SD card first then put rom ect back on the sd card, then preform full wipe

also wipe using computer or recovery?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flash the boot.img. enter recovery, perform a full wipe there, install the rom.zip

I cannot send any picture or audio mail through the on-board messaging app on this Rom.I researched all the posts regarding this issue, and haven't found a solution. I see that others have this problem as well. Is there a fix? I would rather use the messaging app that comes with the Rom instead of having to resort to Go Sms.Thanks for any help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Well, I guess Go Sms it is. Out of all the Roms I've been using, only Blu Kuban and this Rom have issues with MMS. The Goodness had it down pat, there weren't any issues with their messaging apps. Maybe someone from their team can provide some assistance for the Devs for these other 2 roms. Everything else is great!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
did you delete this?

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
How do I do that? I searched through file manager and it didn't find the link.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
Root explorer or es explorer (play store). Enable root mode and navigate to that directory and delete the file. You will lose all your messages so back them up first. You can back them up with this

tps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joeboo28:
do you delete the: com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db? or just the telephony.db?

and what exactly will that allow us to do? send MMS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
it clears out the messaging database and should fix mms. it has for a number of ppl in the cm thread. just the db file.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joeboo28:
Thank you...I'll give it a try
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
I appreciate the advice, but unfortunately it didn't work on my phone. I will just use Go sms, it works fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Hey Joeboo, did it fix your phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] joeboo28:
No it didn't ...after I deleted that file..goSMS wouldn't even send MMS
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
Evidently there isn't a fix, so I guess I'll just stick to go. This is a very good Rom otherwise. Did Go start working again after you re-booted?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Alkah0liK:
http://tinyw.in/ZaHT

Try this. The APN backup and restore method works about 80% of the time film me. But I think it is more about coverage and signal where I usually am. I have TiB premium but you can copy / paste app in system/app with a root explorer
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btvolta:
It worked! Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Now I don't have to use Gosms on King Kang anymore.

After I move the app to the system/app folder and reboot the app no longer shows up in the app drawer. In settings under downloaded apps section it's grayed out. Navigating to it using ES File Explorer trying to click on it and gives a "parsing error" message. I don't know what to do.

thank you :fingers-crossed:
[HTC One S] AKToronto:
My understanding is that the current way to root your phone requires unlocking the bootloader through the HTC Dev process. There is no other way to root.

HOWEVER, you should be able to make a nandroid backup of all your phone data before you root, and then restore the data after your bootloader is unlocked. Search the forums on how to make a nandroid backup and restore. I am pretty sure you can make a nandroid backup before recovery, and then restore it after. This can be done using the adb.exe file. Let me know if you cant find anything on the forums about a nandroid backup.

[HTC One S] mihirengg19:
Yes all data will be deleted as unlocking bootloader finishes with a factory reset...it is not mandatory to install custom ROMs...u can unlock bootloader and root ur phone while using complete stock firmware....

Running xylon 10 and tiny kernel on my gnex now.

Thanks and stoked for my new toy.

ALL OF the roms and Developers are great. These people all work together a a community effort... They do all of this free of charge and are not in a competition. To me this is a very tasteless question to ask... Try reading thru the rom developers threads and device for yourself . Try a few if you must.. But Please do not ask people to just these Awesome Developers..

Congrats on your purchase. Quick question, did you get the nexus 7 with hspa+? Also, I'd have to say that the nexus 7 has been my best Android experience yet. I'm currently running MoDACo ROM and love it. There isn't too much out there for the hspa+ model but MoDACo runs great for me. Good luck...
[Nexus 7 General] Moscow Desire:
Thread Closed

These types of threads are not tolerated, as other posters said, roms are suited to each individual. What one my like, the other may not. So you'll just have to try out a couple after reading the rom threads.

Also, there's an off-topic thread you're more than welcome to ask in.

So without further adieu, thread is closed.

Hi guys, i am using internet via wifi for quite some time

But i have tried with mobie data connection and i am facing some problems...

When i switch on mobile data connection 'E' connection(edge) symbol appears for like 5 mins ..

After 5 mins E symbol is gone and i am unable to connect to internet.. my signal strength is full

After 2-3 hours again i can see that E symbol for 5 mins and boom its gone again..

Can somebody solve my problem please..
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Which rom are you running? For some T-Mobile users like myself the Cm roms have data issues. When I try to run Cm, I get blinking data that NEVER connects. If your not running Cm rom have you tried the application get RIL? It checks to make sure ril is matching radio and if not matching recommends a ril to download.it's really helped my signal. I found I had a weak signal because my radio and ril we're not matching. Once I downloaded the proper ril my signal jumped back up from one bar to five bars! I am assuming you are rooted. If your not you can't use get ril because it's for device with root. If you're not rooted, your options are pretty limited. If not rooted you can call carrier and see if they can help. But if you are rooted, do try "get ril" it can really help. Best wishes to you. Hope this is helpful.
[HTC Sensation] xtremeinfo:
Thanks for the reply.. but unfortunately i did not root my mobile.. i have full signal 5 bars... Even then unable to connect

[HTC Sensation] smackd:
The E symbol stands for EDGE which is 2G.

Have you asked your service provider to enable mobile data connectivity for you?
[HTC Sensation] xtremeinfo:
Yup .. know that its edge... And i have asked my operator to enable ..

Its working but only for like 5 mins....and i even dont know when it works .. it just comes suddenly and goes off boooom
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Try this I think it will work for non rooted phones also. Press *#*#4636#*#* then when the menu comes up press phone information. Then scroll down and press on your current signal, another menu will pop up, then press wdcma only, this is 4G. Then scroll down and press refresh. If you have a available 4G signal in your area this will lock on the signal. It will not switch to edge. I often use this method because my device prefers edge and I want 4G. It works wonderfully for me because I have a strong 4G signal in my area. If you don't lock on or have no signal available after this then 4G is not available in your area. But do give this a try, it will lock you on the 4G network and no more switching to Edge. Let me know please how it goes. I think this will solve your problem. Do write down the code because after reboots you will have to do it again. Hope this is helpful! Best wishes!
[HTC Sensation] smackd:
Some of the Sensation Models do not support 4G.

It is unlikely that 4G is available in OP's region since it is not showing H :P
[HTC Sensation] xtremeinfo:
Yup you are right... First thing my device supports only 3g and even if it does support 4g it is not avilable in my region

Thanks for the replies..please post if there is any alternative..

Note - my device connects to edge connection but only 5- 10 mins even though full signal of 5 bars is avilable
[HTC Sensation] smackd:
You can try putting in Data Enabled card of a friend of yours and see if this is a phone issue or a provider issue.

Also check if your provider provides 3G in the area.

However all this talk about boot.img and whatnot has bewildered me. Any help at all is appreciated. Sorry for being such a noob.

Thanks. :good:
[HTC One X] ExoticMe:
renovate or ARHD if i where you and flash the boot.img with your rom with this command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'

then 'fastboot erase cache' then flash the rom thru recovery and you r done
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
At the moment we do not have S-OFF which means we can't flash boot directly from recovery. You need to flash it using PC from fastboot.

Basically you do that by extracting boot.img from [insertromnamehere].zip to fastboot folder and flashing it from there using

fastboot flash boot boot.img

I've attached fastboot if you're unsure of your's location.

Then install ROM in recovery using the install zip from sdcard option and finally wipe dalvik-cache, cache and battery stats in recovery

For choosing a ROM check this:

NOTE: Installing sense-based JB ROMs will limit your phones capabilities of installing non-sense ROMs later on.

1. Move Android_Revolution_HD-One_X_17.0.zip to root of SD card

2. Unzip Flash_boot_17.x_0.1.rar

3. chmod 755 the mac scripts install-boot-mac and fastboot/fastbook-mac in the Flash_boot unzipped dir

4. Put phone in Fastbook USB mode

5. Run the install-boot-mac.sh script in the Flash_boot dir to flash the boot.img file

6. Reboot from the menu and disconnect USB

7. Boot your phone in recovery mode (vol down + power)

8. In main menu, select "install zip from sdcard"

9. Select "choose zip from sdcard" and browse to the location of Android Revolution ROM

10. Use data wiping option in (AROMA) installer if if coming from stock or other custom ROM

11. Choose all needed options

12. After flashing process is complete, reboot the device
