Hey

I did a backup of my MyTracks App (or maybe I just think I did ..) and now theres a folder called "backups" inside my MyTracks Folder.

And in this backups Folder there's a file called "backup-2013-02-10_19-59-16.zip" with a file called "backup.mytracks.v1" in it and I've absolutely no Idea what to do with it? Can someone tell me?

Maybe there are also some old files in Android/data/com.google.android.maps.mytracks and I also have to Idea what to do with those.

Can someone help me out there please?

Thanks in advance

Hello people.

i successfully managed to unlock the boot loader and flash my device, can any point me in the direction of where i would go to remove this? as i need to update to JB 4.1 but everytime i try and do this is boots the phone to the root tw.....

and im a real novice when it comes to phones

any advice would be appreciated

would doing a factory reset via TWRP lock the bootloader? and will i still be able to use the phone? im not really bothered about the unlock and flash
[HTC One X] nms247:
To do the OTA you need to flash the official recovery do the ota and then reflash twrp. No need to lock the bootloader.
[HTC One X] Chris30uk:
OTA

thanks mate appreciate that

sorry to be a pain but i am right in thinking i follow the steps to flash that i did previously?

sorry for being a noob
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Download this file

http://db.tt/U5CK4noo

Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder of the pc, then you put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode.

Open the command window on the pc inside the fastboot folder and type

Fastboot erase cache (enter)

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (enter)

Fastboot erase cache (enter)

:thumbup:
[HTC One X] Chris30uk:
Thanks mate,

when i try to Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says -

anything im doing wrong?

anything im doing wrong?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Make sure that the file is actually in the folder from where you execute the commands ! And maybe a reboot of the pc, and phone will help
[HTC One X] Chris30uk:
hi mate

its in the data folder where i run the fastboot cmd

il try and a reboot and let you know
[HTC One X] Chris30uk:
ok still no luck just confirm im doing the following:

connect phone to pc

run fastboot

bootloader appears on phone

type in the commands as suggested

still getting - cannot load 'recovery.img'

do i need to boot into bootloader or boot into recovery?

iv tried both
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
The phone should be in the bootloader, and you should see the text fastboot usb in red !
[HTC One X] Chris30uk:
HTC 3

Yes im doing that,

I have placed the renamed file - recovery.img in the data folder where the fastboot is, the path on cmd is pointing to the exact folder

p.s

would screenshots help?

im really sorry to keep bugging you

basically all i want to do is install the latest software on my HTC One X. but when trying to do this is, it reboots the phone into TWRP screen
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:

Hello,

ok i thought i would give you a quick rundown of what im doing

1 - i unlocked the bootloader and flashed using the tools on here

2 - i received the software update via OTA

3 - however because i have unlocked and flashed it just loads the recovery option

so basically i want to remove the unlock and flash as per step 1 above

thanks
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You don't need to relock the bootloader to be able to update, what you need is stock rom (the way it came out of the box) root is no problem but if you removed bloatware the update will fail. You also need the stock recovery and the stock kernel.
[HTC One X] Chris30uk:

Again forgive my stupidity mate,

so i follow the instructions you gave me in your earlier post and this should allow me to do OTA Jellybean update?

Rename it to recovery.img and copy it in the fastboot folder of the pc, then you put the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode.

Open the command window on the pc inside the fastboot folder and type

Fastboot erase cache (enter)

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (enter) - do i enter Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img or do i enter Fastboot flash recovery (file path) then recovery.img?

Fastboot erase cache (enter)

and when i got to the folder containing the fastboot, i double click fastboot and a cmd window appears then disappears straight away, however if i open the HTC application and the select bootloader the cmd window stays
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Ah oke, what you must do is, go with the windows explorer to the folder, point the mouse in the folder, hold shift and right click the mouse. Then select open command window here......you will see a dosprompt and there you must enter the commands

Yes opinions can be googled but I'll be using links and guides from these threads. I want your opinion. Oh and if you steam your pc to your phone please let me know about your experiences.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wizard Knight:
PSX4Droid works great, playing FF7. Gets kind of hot and rips the battery... but it did that on my last phone too, think it's simply the emulator and game. It's a nexus, rooting is stupid easy. Flashing is the same as every other rooted phone. I like twrp recovery best. find the touch screens very user friendly.

my advice based on my opinion... GET A CASE!!!!!! the back of this thing is easily scratched and if you're like me and like to keep your phones nice and crisp so they last a long time and fetch top dollar when sold in the future, get a full body case and screen guard

Okay I got this i717 and could not figure out what's wrong with the sim card slot. I've never posted on a forum before but I'm stuck.

Things I've tried

-went back to gingerbread from ics

- bought a new sim card slot board and put it in and still the same problem(insert sim)

- cleared cache from clockwork and titanium

- flashed different radios and modems

- tried different ROMs

I know longer know what to try, I also would like to note that it has an imei and baseband so its nothing to do with efs. It just won't read sim cards and I know its not the hardware because the micro sim words and its on the same board. Please help me out. I'm using an old slide phone now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I know you say its not the hardware, but that's sure what it sounds like.

When you say micro sim, have you tried a regular sim in the slot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youplaymenot:
I made a typo' "micro sim" was suppose to be "micro SD card", and I know it sounds like the hardware but I was so sure that when I replaced the sim and micro SD board it would work because everything on the phone works fine except for the sim, I've read around and the only solution I'm seeing is to send it in but that's not an option for me. And yea I just have a normal sim card from at&t that supports hspa
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The only thing you can try short of replacing the motherboard is to take your work apart and double-clean the contacts between the motherboard and sim/SD cards board.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
Did it ever read sim cards or did you buy it this way? Did you use Odin to reinstall the factory Gingerbread ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] youplaymenot:
I'll try what rangercaptain said but yes it did read my sim card when I bought it and then every now and then would randomly say insert sim and normally a reboot would fix it but it finally just cut out completely and that's when I bought the new board but it still said the same thing

Hello,

I have noticed that if I try to zoom in the image when watching a movie with any player in order to get rid of the upper and lower black bars while keeping the original aspect ratio, no matter if I use hardware or software decoders, I always get the annoying effect that the image does not remain centered, but instead it shifts down-right such that on the screen, only the upper left corner of the image is shown.

I'm not too shure, but I think that thks issue has started to appear only recently, maybe after I have installed my current ROM, which is the german CLL3. Can anybody check/confirm and if possible suggest a solution, if ever a solution exists?

Titles says it all. I live in the baltimore MD area, and where i used to get 3-4 bars of 4g it wont connect to it anymore. I boot it up and it defaults to 3G. Ive tried playing with the mobile data settings and nothing has worked.

Does anyone have any ideas...because i use my phones data connection as home internet right now...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CrfEpic4g:
How long has it been happening? It possible the tower is being worked on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxsydenxX:
It just started today. Im on CM10 and i would occasionally lose a 4g connection and would have to swtich the mode from lte/whatever/whatever to the other mode...and then back to reconnect..but thats not working anymore....

Edit: This is killing me because I use it for home internet. Im paranoid simply because this is the first month ive used 4G ever...meaning i never even turned lte mode on in the mobile data settings..i didnt even know it was in my area until the beginning of this month.. Im just wondering if me toggling it on and off to get it to connect through CM10 caused this... Thats why im coming here..to smarter people then myself begging and pleaing for assistance and guidance.

Could it perhaps be that sprint was just testing my area for 4g?? OR how long does tower maintenance usually take.. Or that they cut me off from using 4g after using 30gb so far? I mean i have an unlimited plan so it shouldnt be an issue
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
No they didnt cut you off, they would send a letter before doing that

Second, it usually takes about 2-3 weeks for maintenance to complete on a tower. If you're really concerned, call Sprint and ask if they're in the process of upgrading towers in your area. Who knows, they might even give you some sort of "we're sorry for the inconvenience" credit

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] XxsydenxX:
Im eyeballing this thread like a hawk for opinions and posts like this. Thanks for your input.

When I first used 4G It was actually by accident on the CM10.1 Nightly. I pressed the Mobile data toggle square in the settings and i saw 4g, I was thrilled that it was in my area. Switched back to stable CM10 and checked if it was up and running. and much to my surprise it wasnt some weird graphical error just showing the 4g icon. It was legit working.

Still isnt working on any rom ive flashed here. Now though since the issue began.

What are the chances in the short time ive used it, that i could have possibly damaged my phones abaility to connect to 4G? Sorry if that question is dumb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Very little. I doubt that its a hardware issue, because if it were, you would see other things like core apps FCing, the other radios taking longer to connect, maybe even hot reboots when trying to turn on 4G

Like I said, when you have time call Sprint. Most likely the towers are being worked on and they turned it off meanwhile

You might wanna also wanna get Sensorly (from the Play Store) just to doublecheck for LTE in your area

I'm experiencing the similar issues, though I flashed over a ASOP Rom that has parts from cm10.1 though the Rom was ported from Verizon, but 4g worked perfectly fine, then when I flashed back to cm10 it stopped working. I'm debating on flashing back to that rom and see if it also does not have access to 4g at this time.

Edit/Update: I flashed back to my stock rom with root then flashed an updated MA6 Rom, updated the PRL, Profile and such, still no 4G. Decided that I'd mess with a few 4g settings, still problems. Then I flashed back to CM10 and my 4G works again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IcerJo:
Sorry for the late reply. It could possibly be a setting on your phone. I say make a backup of your rom, flash a stock based rom, kernel & firmware, if it's not ma6 find an update or one based on it. Update the prl and profile. See if you can get 4g working on tw, if not then either restore back to cm10 or try messing with the lte settings, their are some that allow you to enable or disable and such. I also do recall a setting for ehpd 4g or lte 4G. After messing with them try restoring back to cm10. If you take a picture of the lte menu I can look and tell you what settings I clicked.

Edit: Just looked at the link try the lte force cause I know I pushed that button as well as a few others.
