Copy “CWM-English” folder in your c: drive

Select “CWM-English” folder, press and hold “Shift” and right click on your mouse. You will see a pop up menu. Select “Open Command Window here”. You will see a command prompt window.

Now type one by one.

2.	fastboot boot recovery-english.img

you are doing it wrong way every time, you need to be in CWM-english folder in command prompt to use this command.

Help needed.

Hello,

I tried upgrading the baseband of my karbonn a7 plus with the help of this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2036053

I used this procedure to upgrade the baseband of my karbonn A7 plus. Things went successful as per the procedure but now when I try to boot or proceed through recovery mode (after the red screen), the screen comes full with garbage pixels. Moreover, I installed new drivers and now the phone is atleast detected on Windows 7. But nothing is accessible of either the phone storage or sd card. I tried downgrading the baseband but now its not possible to access the port. Please guide me. Thanks.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkane78:
Hi,

My first post to the forum, long time lurker but now I actually have a question or two.

I have a samsung galaxy s3 (blue, 16GB), it is totally stock, has the XELLA update as well.

Whilst reading the thread regarding dying S3's, it got me thinking about my own S3 and what I'd do if it died.

Of course, I have Kies and MyPhoneExplorer, I use both to do the same task that the old Nokia PC Suite used to do (I've come from Nokia S60 phones).

My concern is, despite backing up via Kies, I read in the above thread, that Kies shouldn't be used for backup as it doesn't do a 'proper' backup.

(I've tested Kies backups myself and didn't spot a problem, but I've never tried to factory reset my phone and then restore everything from Kies)

Given that I do not want to install custom ROMs or root my phone in any way, is Kies suitable for backups or should I be using something more comprehensive?

If I should use something else - what should I use?

Ideally I want software that sits on the PC itself and backs up to my local drive, I don't really want something that sits on the phone unless it's really good.

Ideally, all I want is some useful software that allows me to backup my phone content, SMS/MMS/Contacts/Apps/App Settings/Phone Settings, maybe music and ringtones too. Most other parts (such as calendars/notes) are sync'd from a local Outlook install so these get overwritten upon sync anyway.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Root your phone, install custom recovery and make a nandroid backup. Nothing beats that.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkane78:
Whilst I'm grateful for the suggestion, I don't want to root my phone. Especially as it works perfectly well as-is. I'm happy to keep it as stock, however if you're telling me that the only way to get good, reliable backups of everything with my phone is to root it, then that doesn't bode well.

Why include software with a phone that suggests it can backup the phone, when in-fact it cannot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] langbat:
i came from Nokia e72 with symbian s60 too. Kies backup is not up to my expectations. And myphoneexplorer is fiddly with its backup function. I was reluctant before rooting my phone, but I'm happy that I did it with cf auto root, it allows me to use titanium backup which is very good.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatless:
I wouldn't worry about it. If you've been lucky enough to get a kies backup, that'll do. I never got that far (and my s3 died) :(

I can't really root either :( Would love to. Rooted my desire the second it wasn't my primary phone. Barclays banking and sky go are two apps which don't like rooted phones and I squarely blame them, app-security shouldn't be compromised by root access. Nevermind, so I'm in your shoes too...

While ensuring my wifes (already swapped S3) doesn't lose anymore data if it goes again (hurry up fix).. it got me thinking about what she'd really loose and it's not that much...

Apps (can be re-downloaded). Your kies backup should have got the appdata (I can't be sure of this). Edit: I have successfully backed up many apps data settings without kies by using an 'adb' backup. You just need the Android sdk. Not all apps can be backed up this way (it also allows you to violate settings in their sqlite dbs), better than nothing though.

SMS (can be backed up using many Play Store apps)

Contacts/Chrome bookmarks are all stored by google

Kies can be used to ensure your Internal Memory doesn't contain any photos/music/movies/downloads that you want to keep (copy to sd)

Alot of apps which stored data on the internal storage were manually copied/pasted to an sdcard folder for safe-keeping.

and then there's probably not a whole lot else that you can't configure via system/in-app settings to avoid using internal storage and opt for sdcard/online instead.

I haven't got my phone back yet so I don't know what i've yet lost... don't want to think about it, at least wifeys happy that if hers goes (again) she wont loose much of value.

Edit2: A helpful XDA member detailed the adb (whole system) backup process: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420351
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkane78:
What I was looking for, was a single application or tool that would backup the entire phone, absolutely everything ideally.

But I suspect I won't be able to do that without rooting the phone, and even then - the backup application itself would probably need to be ON the phone and couldn't necessarily backup to the computer itself (unless I copied the backup from the SD memory to hard disk).

I know the old nokia software did back up pretty much everything and I'm sure Kies backs up pretty much everything, but if my phone were to die or be lost somehow, I want the ability to restore the backup entirely and be back to where I was (or as close as possible), so I don't need to set up apps again or their settings or set the phone settings back up etc.

Is all of that asking too much? (I use an equivalent of Ghost on my PC to back it up, that covers literally everything, just wondering if I can do a similar task with my phone)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleBeer:
+1. It does seem like a glaring omission. I've never gotten Kies backup to complete successfully.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endrit9:
What do u want to backup?

Sync contacts with google. Save ur DCIM photos in a new folder named I9300 and music and other stuff from sdcards :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkane78:
What I'm now doing is a Kies backup and an ADB backup as documented in a link earlier in this thread.

The Kies backups come in at around 270-290MB each, but the ADB backups come in at around 1GB each, so am wondering if perhaps doing an ADB backup once a month would be a better idea.

At least that way, I'm pretty much covered in the event of device failure or theft :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatless:
Appreciate you confirming your backup approach. As with any new backup method, of course, it pays to test your restore strategy before you really need it ;)

Good luck and if you do manage to do a test restore, let us know how it goes.

PS: I hadn't mentioned it because it conflicts with your (imo very reasonable) goals, but, the only backup I've ever fully trusted is the nandroid backup(s) I have of my rooted desire :( That's as close to a 'ghost' image as possible.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkane78:
So a nandroid backup would literally clone everything as some kind of dump file?

I've told the ADB backup to cover shared storage as well as storing all APKs (excluding system ones), but what strikes me as odd is that my internal memory has used around 1GB and SD memory is around the 600MB mark, yet the backup is only 1GB.

I'm hoping between a monthly of ADB and a weekly Kies, I'll be able to get 90% of my phone back in operation if anything were to happen to it.

It's the same kind of strategy I use on my PCs here at home, except with them I know I can literally take a 'copy' of the entire system, including data.

I know the Kies restore works, but I don't know if the ADB does, I guess I should try it at some stage. Maybe when I do my next Kies backup :)

Even if he does a factory reset/wipe data, only the /data partition is wiped. He has deleted the applications from /system partition, so they won't come back after a factory reset.

@OP - You need to restore your phone to stock by running an official RUU (ROM Update Utility) from HTC.

1. Download it from the link below.

2. Turn off your phone by taking out the battery and then put it back.

3. Boot your phone into bootloader mode (white screen with skateboarding Androids) by powering it on with 'volume-' held down.

4. Connect your phone to your computer via USB and see that 'FASTBOOT USB' shows in the bootloader with red background for the text.

5. Run the downloaded exe file as admin and don't touch the phone while it's working.

I was just mentioning other options just in case someone couldn't get into the bootloader. What if you send the phone to lg because you couldn't get into the bootloader to reflash and they can by disconnecting the battery and find out that you are unlocked and rooted when the phone boots back up, which would also void your warranty. Although I would not take the back cover off if the phone was stock, might as well send the phone back if you can't get it to boot.

You seem to know very little about how chargers, batteries and charging circuitry works. To put your mind at ease, a USB 2.0 port is rated at 5V DC, 500mA. That will charge a Nexus 4, albeit slowly. Your 0.7A charger isn't going to fry anything, as there are multiple safeties built in, unless something is SEVERELY wrong with it, meaning faulty construction.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donchele:
Yup, that is the reason im asking :)

So you are telling me that, unless there is any issue with the charger (faulty construction) there is no reason to worry about that it will lead to this "Red light of death" or any other issue (lowering battery lifetime for example)?

This is totally off topic but, Do you (personally) think it's true what people say that charging a cellphone with a lower output charger increases its battery service?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calanizzle:
Quick question:

Does this red light issue appear when battery is drain to 0% (among other factors)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
There is no reason to worry unless the charger or your phone is faulty, in other words, hardware failure on either side. Unfortunately there would be no easy to foresee that.

The charging circuitry will only use what it needs to do it's job. As long as the voltage is within range and the current is not too LOW, you're OK. The N4 is rated at 900 mA to perform a standard charge. It will accept as low as approx. 500 mA to charge in USB mode. That idea is rubbish.

Try formatting it in recovery.

I don't want to lose my files though? What can I do other than format it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
Formatting it is the only thing that might be able to revive it. To backup, download Solid Explorer, turn your phone to landscape mode (you can see two panels in landscape and only one in portrait), navigate in one of the panels to your ext. SD and in the other panel your internal SD. Copy all the stuff you want to keep from your internal SD to your external SD and then format it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drakulina:
If he cannot access the internal storage then trying to use Solid Explorer is useless.

Try to dump the partition to the external SD (use an external SD card larger than the internal memory):

dd if=/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 of=/storage/sdcard1/full_dump_internal_sd

You might be able to use a linux box to check the filesystem - the file on external storage named full_dump_internal_sd (should be ext4 formatted as far as I know).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MarsHD2:
So I just put that into terminal?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drakulina:
Yes, but make sure that you have enough room on the external SD card to be able to backup the data.
