[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] portamento:
Hi there. Yesterday, before flashing leaked 4.2.1 ROM, I did a nandroid backup to my external microSD card using Philz Touch Recovery v. 4.63. The process of backing up was successful.

The problem came when I restored the backup. (Before restoration, I had to reinstall the PhilZ Touch recovery and, from it, I did format cache, format system and format data). I recovered my XXEMA2 ROM with all the apps and configurations I had before, BUT there is no trace of the pictures I had in the internal memory or the files I downloaded.

I tried to repeat the process, but I got the same result.

Does anybody know a solution for this?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
Nandroid only backs up your ROM, recovery, apps, app data, etc. and not the data stored in your internal storage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] portamento:
Ooopppps, I thought it makes a complete image of the phone! (for example, on many websites it's compared with Norton Ghost for PC). Good to know for the next time...

Thank you for the information, Oomahey!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninolina:
After going back from 4.2.1 to 4.1.2 you'll have your whole Internal Memory in a folder "0". Find it on your Internal Memory. All your data and files should be there. Just transfer them from folder 0 to root of Internal Memory and all will be like before flashing 4.2.1 :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] portamento:
I seem to be blind! I was looking for the "thanks" button, but I didn't found it (I thought that maybe it didn't appear since I was surfing from my mobile). That's why I said "thanks" texting.

EDIT: I was not blind. In the default version of the forum (the classic one) that appears on my Opera Mobile there is not "thanks" button. You need to change manually the versión to 2010 one or higher.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] portamento:
I do have the "0" folder with the old (sub)folders, but all of them are empty :crying:

Maybe it was not a good idea to do format cache/system/data before restoring the nandroid backup... As I thought all data were preserved in the backup, I prefered to delete any trace of 4.2.1 ROM :rolleyes:.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninolina:
Well, that might be the problem. I had also restoring 4.1.2 backup after trying 4.2.1 FW but I didn't do wiping or formating - I just restored backup and there was that 0 folder and all files from Internal were there.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moonystorm:
So, hello there XDA, I'm Moon and that Topic Title isn't very informative i know.

But yes, Let me get this straight. I got an Used DHD running CM10.1 until last night on a lan after recording two hours 720p Video with flash i when i wanted to show a friend a youtube video noticed my auto rotation not working,

And well. i thought it was off? so i dont know for how long it didn't work, so after a huge hangover and a long day sleep i tried to Reflash cm10.1 versions without Luck, neither JB Miui roms. though sense gb and ics sense roms do work just fine? I didn't get an solution so right now i run Blackouts rom with sense 3,6 based of 4.0.4, but for sure i know having the accelerometer working on cm10 sometime. Would anybody tell me (if they know) how to fix this?

I'd be super thankful.

Hello guys

Can you help me please? I have a problem with unlocking bootloader on my phone. On this phone I can get root easily and many times, but when I try to unlock bootloader, my phone turns into a brick after rebooting. There is no access to recovery and other functions(after LG logo - black screen only) and i can use my phone ONLY after restoring my phone by KDZ. Can you please help me to solve this problem? I am stuck and bricked my phone 10 times a day :crying:

[HTC EVO 3D] jvswimjack:
Hi Everyone,

I've been using an HTC Evo 4G for a while now on spring and my mom just bought a new phone to replace her HTC Evo V on virgin mobile. The Evo V is the same as the EVO 3D on sprint, it even has the same spring branding on the top right. I tried to setup the Evo V on my sprint account at home, in a store and by calling customer support. The sprint store said I needed to call support and they could do it but support said it couldn't be done. So I ask you, is it possible to use a virgin mobile HTC Evo V as an HTC Evo 3D on sprint? If so what steps do I need to take in order to have it activate and work either at home, in store or through customer support?
[HTC EVO 3D] demi_fiend:
There is only one way to do it, and as far as I know it can't be discussed on xda. So pretty much no.
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
That is not always true. Check with Sprint and see if they will activate the ESN. Virgin Mobile will not activate any non-VM ESN Phones so that is what cannot be discussed, but some carriers do not care. You can log into your sprint account and see if the ESN is available for activation or go to a store and ask.
[HTC EVO 3D] jvswimjack:
Is this to activate the Virgin Mobile Evo V on sprint or to get the sprint Evo 3D working on virgin mobile? I need to get an Evo V from Virgin Mobile activated on sprint. Thanks for your reply!
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
I would just go to a store and ask if you can.
[HTC EVO 3D] jvswimjack:
I already have. I tried to do it on m computer and it didn't recognize the phone when I put in the DEC. I went to the sprint store and they said they couldn't do it there but that if I call support they should be able to take care of it. Called support and they said it couldn't be done which has led me here.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvercats:
I have a i9300 16GB.

1.It was bought from another country. Can I still get warranty from my country? do I need to ship it back to the same country if something happens.

2. If my firmware is updated (as Kies says), is my device safe from sudden death?(it says that "this is the lates firmware")

3. Should I keep the 4.1.2 official ROM or should I replace it with a better ROM ?

4.Is it ok to use a magnetic pouch ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
1. Does your phone have International warranty? If not, you'll have to send it back to the country of purchase.

2 & 3. Firmwares after XXELLA are 'supposedly' safe from SDS (or was it about the Exynos abuse?? Somebody please confirm) but Samsung has not confirmed it yet. Stay on the 4.1.2 version.

4. No idea, mate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvercats:
I don't know. How to find it ?

what do you mean "supposedly"?

It is the motherboard crashing this. Phone bricking issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oomahey:
1. That probably means you don't have International warranty. :(

2. 'Supposedly' because Samsung has never confirmed it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvercats:
I found my small book like warranty in the box and it doesn't have any deal info on it. No international warranty ?

Also if Samsung didn't confirm it, does this mean that still my device could die and no hope for me if this happens as I don't have warranty either? :\
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drew071:
Depends how new you're device is and what motherboard it had it in anyway. Firmwares after ELA supposedly have the software fix for the hardware. Samsung has not out right said it is a fix but a dev, name escapes be at the minute, is reported to have identified the attempted fix in update 7 kernels.

The exynos vulnerability is also fixed.

There are someone reporting about the new baseband breaks their sensors, but this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147194) says you'll be OK with a 4.2.2 rom with proper props. But YOu said you are on 4.2.2, so I am not sure. THere is also a Fixing sensor in that thread, so you may use the app above, check if there is anything wrong with your sensors.

That is all I know :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
This is correct, also, you are going to confuse people by calling it a MOD.. a mod is a different type of change to your phone. You are referring to a ROM which is the phone's operating system.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iHartS3:
You are totally right. I meant ROM.

So basically I would have to BACKUP my current MOD to my SD CARD then I would be able to install a new ROM. and If I wanted to go back to my OLD ROM I would just restore it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Yes. In recovery you would make a nandroid then proceed with your wiping and flashing of the new ROM.
