[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
I think your phone must be rooted

So the best is that backup your apps witg titanium backup first

Download a stock rom from sammobile.com or you could just use Android Revolution HD

And then wipe your data with CWM recovery

And flash the firmware via PC odin

Just like the title says....I've searched all morning for solutions to unlock the bootloader on my phone with the classical broken power button but nothing relevant came up except a few threads with no definite solution...

Or is there a way to root & flash CM10 to my phone without unlocking it?

Hi I used carbon backup unrooted, and did a PC Download of all my app data for about 200 apps, so have a 2GB zip file.

I went on PC download again and tried to upload this to restore my device, but it never seems to upload, it just hangs there.

Is there anyway to convert this file so that I can put it on the device and restore from USB storage?

Thanks!

Have you tried a different browser? I have a 3.8GB zip file which uploads ok, albeit takes a while. My problem is I can't restore individual apps from the zip :-/
[General Questions and Answers] Mordar:
urgent help needed here, I did a backup of all my apps to the external SD card before switching roms and now I can't simply restore them back, it always hangs on "an error occurred", I mean I had all my games data and everything in that restore, I can't simply lose them all...pleaseeee someone help me
[General Questions and Answers] harveyd:
I have found that if you transfer the files to your PC you should find that each app has a .ab file. You then download android developer tools to your machine and restore each file individually using such a command as:-

adb restore file.ab

When it asks for the password on the phone just hit accept. If you backed up the apk originally it should install it and restore the data, if not download the app from the play store, don't open it and do the adb restore to just do your data.

This worked for me on a couple of Apps.

Obviously you need to enable usb debugging etc.
[General Questions and Answers] AskinSavascisi:
could u provide more info please coz ive never done this before.. and i really want some apps+data back :))

i got the error "adb: unable to connect for backup"
[General Questions and Answers] harveyd:
Carbon uses the native backup option included in the 4.0+ sdk so you simply use ADB to restore these files.

I am a mac / linux person so if you are using windows it might vary a small amount.

Get the Zip file created by carbon and unzip it somewhere e.g. your desktop

Download the developer tools from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html and extract the files somewhere e.g Desktop

Enable USB debugging on the phone + install drivers for your phone if using windows + connect phone to computer via USB.

Open up command prompt / terminal and navigate to the folder containing the ADB app on a mac it's in platform-tools.

Find the app from within folder containing the extracted carbon backups and find the app you want to restore. The file should end in a .ab file extension. Look at the file size. If it's quite big compared to the app size listed within the play store and when you created the carbon backup you told it to include the apk's there is a good chance the app is included. If it is too small they install the app from the play store but don't open it.

Then run something like the following in the command prompt:-

adb restore path/to/the/file.ab

A screen should pop up on your phone asking you to enter a password to restore the file. You don't need to enter one. Just click what ever the positive button is to continue. It should restore successfully. If so, open the app and your settings should be there.

Let me know if you need anymore help

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cibhin:
I came through a lot of problems for the past 2 weeks, with my new Xperia Arc. Currently i ve flashed to .587 stock ROM and then flashed Vengence kernel, Installed the Ultimate HD v3.03 using CWM. I also installed the modules of both vengence and stock .587. But now i cannot access internet, when i download the settings from Settings->Xperia->Download settings. I get this "Could not download settings error" Please insist me. But i can see the APN profile in my networks option, even when i tick that, its not working..

THis is what i followed, a post by Tesla....

Oh man.. They are right after Vengeance 1.32 download.

Called Modules http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mg8x3fl3qxpp9u1

You will need stock too. http://xdaforums.com/atta...3&d=1345565020

I flashed both the modules, but could'int get it ork, Please help me, Any one faced similar problems? :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
What do you mean by "modules of both vengence and stock .587"? You only need to flash Vengeance modules. Flash .587 then custom kernel then install UHD (remember to wipe everything) and then kernels modules. Good luck.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cibhin:
I skimmed through the Ultimate HD threat, and found that , flashing the vengence kernel's modules is not enough... I must also flash the stocke .587 kernal 's modules... That is which i obtained from that link above, I even tried to everything from the starch, BUt the internet problem still persist, So since i am flashing to .587 ROM 0r Firmware, (which is probably the ROM of Xperiar Arc S) Should i have to download the vengence kernel for Arc S ???? What should i specify in the aroma installer? Arc S or Xperia Arc?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
But why flash stock modules when they're already embedded in UHD? Start again from flashing .587 ftf then install Vengeance kernel from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2097138 then wipe all, install ROM and then flash kernel modules. I'm not sure but try to select Arc s in aroma installer.

edit:

Remember to flash new modules downloaded from the thread linked above.

Hi,

I want to make my MT4GS that has S-OFF become S-ON. My MT4GS is the unlocked phone which can be used with GSM in my country.

Question : Does S-ON and unroot make the unlocked phone become locked again? Can I still use my GSM Sim Card after change to S-ON and doing unroot?

Thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
For the most part no, sim unlocking a phone is seperate than having root access and secure flags removed, so you can have son and loose root etc without affecting sim unlocked status.

Bare Bean 2 - The Backbone of TouchWiz.

I have put together a TouchWiz ROM which has had all the unnecessary apps and other files removed. One of the biggest problems with TouchWiz is that it is overly bloated with apps that may seem cool but are only really gimmicks. Hence I came up with this ROM. Bare Bean is not for people looking for any s-apps or other bloat. It is meant to be super lightweight whilst providing optimum functionality and aftermarket features.

Features:

-Debloated

-Deodexed

-Zipaligned

-Based of JB 4.1.2 ZSLR1

-Scrolling TouchWiz wallpaper

-Default language is English

-SUPER smooth and battery friendly

-build.prop

-init.d

-Transparent Multiwindow with all apps

-Latest c.o.h.'s HelloWorld kernel

-Replaced the Samsung calculator with the CM calculator

-Replaced the Samsung messaging app with the AOSP messaging app

-Airview with gallery fix

-4.2.1 stock android keyboard

-Latest SuperSu and binary

-Changed animations

-s4 themed: Phone, contacts, settings, clock, downloads thanks [MENTION=5195568]Winterlove[/MENTION]

-s4 icons: calculator, browser, camera thanks [MENTION=5195568]Winterlove[/MENTION]

-s4 UI sounds thanks [MENTION=5195568]Winterlove[/MENTION]

-centered clock

-Changed the status bar icons (WiFi, Data, battery)

-Call recording

-S-pen airview with working gallery

-New Bare Bean wallpaper

-Busybox included

-4-way reboot

-Ink Effect on lockscreen

What has been left in the ROM:

-TouchWiz interface, s4-themed

-Basic apps

-Not much else

Screenshots:

Installation:

1) You're already on a SAFE kernel (Hydracore, CM, Philz, speedmod etc.)

-Reboot into recovery

-Wipe data/factory reset

-Wipe cache

-Go to Advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache

-Go back out of advanced and go to Mounts and Storage, format /system and /preload

-Go for install zip from sdcard, locate the ZIP and confirm with the yes

-Installation will take up to 5 minutes

-Once completed reboot

2) You are on stock ICS/JB, you haven't touched anything in your phone such as root, kernel, ROM

-Go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

-Download the appropriate kernel for your version of ICS/JB (Check your build number to know which one you need)

-Follow the steps for installing on a safe kernel

Are you sure you want the keyboard? I removed it because it is slow, no predictions, very limited, very small buttons... I just think the stock android keyboard is better in every way.

I will however have a look whether the apk is enough... I think I removed a few more files to do with the samsung keyboard though.

Also, I have re uploaded Bare Bean to Mega, the link won't go down on there.

Have had a small play, is nice and smooth, is really bare bones..

I have flashed a snote package, files went to system/app, snote FC's., permissions fixed and still FC. Tried moving to preload, can not copy to there.

The idea of TW is to have snote, splanner and the such, will be going back to my ICS backup until there is available snote/splanner etc available that work.

No stock email app (need it for work exchange mail) and no video app, no file browser, misses a few needed/required apps.

Good work other wise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jay_993:
email app & TW keyboard is all I could wish for.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] XxPixX:
I'm not surprised it FC's :) Did you perhaps try the S-note package from SlimWizz? That should make it work.

Also once I get some time I will release a zip package with s-note. But alas, I am stretched for time and I may only just get down to it at Easter.

Email app - Many people use the gmail app which is why I left that in, I didn't really take into account the stock email app as I don't know many people who use it. However since it is needed for business and you might not be using gmail, I will have a look at making a flashable zip with it.

*EDIT*

For the future then just copy this to /system/app and changed the perms to rwrr or 644:

https://mega.co.nz/#!w5BVyS7L!EjzQo0HZBdbwFGjWbSO8rGmGPxElP9Ry5P7_Bkh6NL0

**

Video app - I find the stock video app nice, fast and with a bit of s-pen implementation. However I always opt for a different video player app from the play store. My favourite is MX video player. It's interface is very intuitive and has many more features over the stock video player.

File manager - Samsung's file manager is probably the WORST file manager I have seen. It is slow (often takes minutes to load folders), lags in big lists, very limited features, if you have to copy anything then you cannot see the progress. I removed it because a lot of people simply download a different one from google play anyway. I strongly recommend solid explorer as a file manager.

T9DB to /system

It still FC's.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] twerg:
Well I did try the slimwizz snote and it did not work for me.

I don't care too much for video app, your right that the standard Gallery app is fine.

The file browser is different. When there is not one included you can not browse to. apks on sd card to install,eg Titanium Backup. Why should I download a file browser or other web browser when I have them backed up. Just have it as a user app rather than system then one can delete it if not wanted. Makes setting up a new Rom much easier and quicker. Just a thought.

Why get rid of s note and fm radio and keep something like gmail?

It takes three seconds to download gmail from the play store but installing s note and fm radio are a bit more of a pain ...

I like slimmed down roms and I want to try this but I need s note and fm radio. Getting rid of apps that are easily downloadable or just plain useless makes sense, but I don't think s note or fm radio fall into that category. I also like the default file browser just fine and that also can not be downloaded from the play store ...
