[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koopa777:
My backups are 10GB+ each(I basically make full images to restore to for each ROM) and I never had this issue in the dozens of restores I've done. I always factory reset, wipe cache/dalvik, and then format system(wipe ROM) in that order before restoring the image. In a worst case scenario you can factory image the tablet if the restore fails after the stock ROM has been wiped.

Also you said two archives? My backups are just 1 folder with the 5 partitions and 5 md5 files? :confused:
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
I had this issue as well, after trying to restore from checking out the Ubuntu preview. Ended up giving up on it and enjoying as best I can the clean install. Would still like to restore it if possible though.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grieshmp:
I was "finally" able to do a full restore of a backup. I had to break up the restore process though. First I restored system and boot. Once that restored I restored data and was able to get a full data restore as well.
[HTC One X] alextaja:
Ok so I used to have a Samsung Captivate and knew how to root and flash ROMs, was pretty used to it.

I tried to do the same on my HOX, but ran into a bootloop and subsequently I think I've deleted everything on my phone. I used Hasoon2000's All in one kit and unlocked my bootloader, flashed TWRP v 2.3.3.0, but my problem arose after I tried to flash the kernel. It stayed in bootloop so I figured I'd back out and just restore back to the backup I made before flashing the kernel. However, after "successfully" restoring back I was still stuck in bootloop somehow. I know this isn't supposed to happen, it's supposed to restore back to the exact state of your phone at the time.

Anyways, I thought maybe I just needed to wipe things. I looked around and found a source that said to wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system. Wipe those 4, but not external storage or android secure. So I wiped those 4 and I intended to try the backup again but it turns out that cleared everything on my phone. Now when I hit "restore" there is nothing to select. I also used to have a custom rom on the virtual sdcard, but that's gone too.

When in TWRP and I go into "install" the only thing in /sdcard is now TWRP. After looking around, it looks like my only option is to mount the phone to my computer via TWRP and somehow download the standard OS for my One X again. Also in the Mount menu it lists "mount system, mount data, mount cache, mount sd card" I can only check the first 3 options and when I do my computer asks me if I want to format it. I guess I can't mount the sd card because I deleted everything?

If anyone has the time to help me out that would be AMAZING. Right now I don't even care about being able to flash my custom ROM, I just want to get my phone back to functionality. I would love a conversation and would be willing to gmail chat if willing.

Also my phone is the ATT version, 2.20 (or I guess it was before I deleted everything).

Thank you in advance for any help.
[HTC One X] Yasounet:
I guess the fastest way to get your phone working again is using RUU file, you ll find how to do it here (method 2) or here

Restoring backup doesnt restore kernel ( boot.img ), you have to flash it manually with fastboot.
[HTC One X] {< r o N o $:
Dude. U think htc offers same freedom as Samsung . U are WRONG. If u flash a rom or restore a backup. U also need to flash boot.img separately from pc. Use fastboot flash boot boot.img. i assume you know the basics. Htc don't have s-off , so writing to nand protected system storage is restricted. If u read a little you might have got this. This will solve boot loop prob
[HTC One X] alextaja:
Fixed

Thanks Yasounet. I managed to flash viper in the end.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirator:
Hi!

First, I am a noob and I don't have time to search for proper thread which may contain answer to my question (sorry). :)

And the question is: is there CyanogenMod for Sony Ericsson Arc S, because this forum is dedicated to Sony Ericsson Arc only? If it is possible to flash CyanogenMod for device Arc S, may I ask for link with detailed tutorial? Thanks in advance. :good:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabokid5922:
Anything for the arc works for the arc s, unless specifically stated by the developer
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirator:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirator:
You sure? Thank you very much.

And one more question: is recommended to install CyanogenMod on Arc S, i.e. is it stable, is it fast and smooth, does it have any significant bugs or other issues...?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirator:
Oh, i can now see that there is no STABLE CyanogenMod 10 for Arc/Arc S... when we can expect stable version?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kvrjsoni:
The latest versions are all stable, u can use them without any problem

CyanogenMod 10 is fast and smooth, kind of better than stock(according to me)

no significant bugs

ya but u cant use HDPI feature

You don't have time to search? But you do have time to post this and wait for a reply? That's real lazy man, real lazy. You're lucky you got any help with this at all.

Is that true though? I installed Free Xperia Project CM10 yesterday based off JB4.1 because I was under the impression that JB4.2 wasn't designed for the Arc S.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romuald695:
While we are on the subject, is it possible to instal cyanogenmod from the official cm website on my lt18i, or they support only lt15i?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
As far as CM is concerned, it's the same phone. CM10 is the latest official version, but if you want CM10.1 then see:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lirator:
I am not sitting in front of the computer and waiting for the answer, I'm doing my work in the meantime. I didn't even have time time to check for the answers. O.K. I now see your answers, thank you very much, you 'll get thanks below your posts. :D

But on official download link there is no stable CyanogenMod 10, there is only 9.1 :confused:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
That really isn't anyone else's fault. (Almost) everyone else has a job too. What if everyone else did what you did? The boards would be absolutely filled with the same question, which is very easy to find the answer to if you take ten minutes to do it - and I know, because I did that.

There isn't a stable CM10, but there is a nightly build of it. I know this because I just looked on the same website. Alternatively, use Free Xperia for the latest version as it doesn't look like CM is going to be supported for our devices any longer.

Finally, on the previous page you asked when we could expect a release. One of the golden rules here is that you don't ask for releases. Everyone making these ROMs has jobs just like us, but they also find the spare time to develop ROMs for people like you and me. Now do you see why it makes you look lazy for asking for the simplest help? I'm not trying to be rude to you, just realistic, and respectful to the people who make this possible for us in the first place.

I can tell you that running FXCM10.1 on my Arc S is a huge step up both in terms of performance and features. I'd recommend it if you're feeling brave enough.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ubichinon:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volan1:
I wanted to post this in the BAKED thread in the developer section but I don't have enough poststo do it there, so hopefully someone here can help.

I just flashed crespo BlackBean 7 (BAKED) ROM (on my Nexus S) and inverted gapps. It seems to have installed properly but whenever I reboot I get a message that several processes have stopped such as YouTube and GMail, and when I go in to system settings -> storage I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". I get that message every time consistently. I've tried re-flashing the ROM but to no avail. When I installed the ROM I wiped "Dalvik cache", wiped "Battery Stats" and wiped "Cache partition".

It appears I've not done something or done something wrong, so if anyone here can help I'd appreciate it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Did you full wipe before installing the rom? That means factory reset/data wipe.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volan1:
I did not do a factory wipe because the last time I did that I lost everything, even after using Titanium backup to back up all my apps first. When I tried to restore there was nothing there to restore. Is there a way to use Titanium backup so that after doing a full wipe I can still get my stuff back?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volan1:
So I bit the bullet and did a full factory wipe, but I still get the "Unfortunately settings has stopped" error showing up. I wonder if it's a bug in the ROM.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumandash:
Storage settings fc is a bug in the ROM. It will be fixed in the next version. You should not get fc for any other settings. Back to kill is faster than normal. Everything else works fine on bb7.

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volan1:
Thank you!

I saw the back to kill thing, someone else had mentioned it on the BAKED thread too. Thanks for the info on the fc.

I got another problem though, that made me revert to my previous ROM. I was about to put my phone away for the night and decided to do one more reboot, but it never went past the BAKED splash screen. Even after pulling the battery it wouldn't boot. Is this a known bug too? Or did something happen to my machine? After booting to recovery and re-installing my previous ROM, everything seems to be fine.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshumandash:
There isn't any boot issue with the ROM. If you decide to try this ROM again, try to do a clean install.

Boot into recovery, do a factory wipe, go to advanced & wipe dalvik cache, go to mounts & format /systems. Flash ROM & gapps, reboot.

Hi,

Since ICS update I have been going insane with the speed of my phone, and today I saw my friends Desire HD running Jelly Bean and it was flying. So naturally I have spent the last 5 hours reading up on how to get it! :o

I'm an absolute noob with Android, this is my first android and I my other smart phones ran windows 5.5 and 6.5 so however buggy the new OS it can not beat them.

I am confused about a couple of things and I have found many many guides that go in circles. my HBOOTS 1.29

1. Do I need S-off or do I just need my device rooted?

I have found the following guides that seem the most effective:

2. What is Flashing Firmware and why do I need to do it?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1472298

3. It seems the best ROM is this:

Are there anything better?

I don't care about looks, I want the usual phone features, speed, GPS, better battery life and bluetooth connectivity to my external Pressure Variometer (I use it for Paragliding). I don't care about issues with Wifi! :D

Many Thanks and sorry for repeating previous posts at times :o
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
You have 2 options. 1.) S-OFF your device, following the guide you linked. It opens up the whole phone, so after that you can do whatever you would like to. (Recommended)

2.) Unlock your bootloader through HTCDEV.COM website. (If you choose this, you can still install custom roms, but are unable to flash firmware/radio. For more info how to install custom roms with s-on see HERE)

Flashing the newest firmware is "always" an extra. They all come with stability/performance/radio... enhancement. ICS firmwares are 3.32 or 3.33. Whichever you have installed on your device, you are good to go as all recent ICS and Jelly Bean roms are working under both firmware. Some of them recommend 3.33 but are still working on 3.32. As far as I know 3.33 comes with newer radio...?:confused:

Rom-wise... It is really up to you what you are looking for and what you expect from your phone. Have a look around in the development section, there are plenty of custom roms/kernel about, either it is aosp/cm or sense based roms. They are all excellent and come with amazing support.

Have fun and good luck! :good:

edit: Have a look HERE too for some more info! ;)

You do not need to do anything to your phone.

No, it automatically enables. Even when I disable it and try syncing, it enables by itself, with a notice of course.
[HTC Sensation] Jawwad.John:
r u using fastboot through sdk...or alone...means only fastboot.exe and adb.exe and some other dll files instead of sdk...if that...than open ur system properties...click advanced system setting..click environment variables..in list select path..and edit..add ur fastboot.exe path there if its not present...just like that..."C:\fastboot\fastboot.exe;"(without quotation marks)..ur problem 'll be solved :)

Problem is not about htc sync or other software...Follow the steps...fastboot works even without adb or others..personally tried on senation and atrix..

1)Install drivers (naked)..check in device manager..it ll show htc device...

2)Download fastboot..and place it on any drive where u can access easily...file attached..

3)Set Path if already not...snap attached..

4)Trun off ur device and boot into hboot...select fastboot and it 'll show bootloader and other options...

5)attach ur device now...and start with start here.bat file..

6)if not worked..then run above file as admin or try to restart ur pc..

whoohoo

Great, thank you that seemed to have worked I'm going to now proceed with S-off and ROM installation. Will undoubtedly re-post again. :D

Just one more question, Do I need to delete/format the files off my SD card or not, I have backed up anything of value.

Also the network is not unlocked, would the network be unlocked with a new ROM?
[HTC Sensation] Jawwad.John:
nope u don't..

there is sim unlocking method..but u can get super cid(by fastboot oem writecid 11111111)..and than flash any network rom..i think it 'll be unlocked....

I tried to flash cm10.1 from 9.1 stable but nothing would boot after. came to believe that they stopped anzu development at 10.0 so then wanted to flash for just 10.0. but i cannot escape the bootloader and thus cannot load the zip to my sdcard. i have tried flashing lt15i v. 4.0.2.A.042 using flashtool like 10 or more times it says it completes successfully but everytime, bootloop. ive tried the remove battery for 30 seconds and restart computer. still no luck. so pretty stuck now. can anyone kindly point me in the right direction?

ps im right about the 10.1 not being available right? is this what has caused this problem? also forgot to mention i fastboot the 10.0 img as well in the hope this might work and i also fastbooted recoveryimg afterwards.

edit: tried seus it just says i have latest update. pc companion wont connect because phone just keeps looping.

edit 2: i loaded the doomkernel which has allowed me to access cwm i performed a restore from one i had but it just loaded to a black lit screen. at a loss for where to go from here.

edit: correction, i must have got 9.1 from cyanogen.org to be precise.

ps: once and if i get this back in working order, would you mind recommending which build i should go with for best solid usage. ie should i go with the nightly (probably not i would imagine) or like the 7.1.0 stable build or what have you. reason i was trying to go to 10.1 from the stable 9.1 was because of the wifi being dropped after a certain amount of idle time. i figured this had something to do with the build. anyways, let me know i would appreciate it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
Geez, colourful post, looks like a selling ad.

Now, have you tried update via OTA (over the air)?

That image with the android logo is called "download mode", you can enter by pressing power button + home button + vol down at the same time. There you can flash whatever ROM you want.

My advice is, instead of posting this kind of post, read the forum and learn about updates, modes and whatnot.

It'll take you a couple of hours, yes, but that info just cannot harm you.
