Same thing here in Philly. Just got back from Florida so I was worried the issue was on my end when I stepped off the plane this morning and couldn't connect to any data network.

3G just popped up maybe 15 minutes ago and appears to be stable. Still waiting on 4G.

every time I restart the phone, it "deletes all data" as if it was hard reseted

So, i'm having a realy strange problem with my hd2:

Nand installation is successful, it boots ok, but every time I restart the phone, it "deletes all data" as if it was hard reseted.

Tried it with a couple of roms but the result is the same.

MTTY showed 3 bad blocks.

SD based roms work well, but kinda slow ( i have a class 6 micro sd ) ...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] @SRI@:
Is it happened for all ROM's installed or one?

Increase the NAND space and flash the ROM again.

Check the downloaded ZIP, Some times download corrupted ZIP's may cause these type of issues as there should not be any issue of "delete all data" when you installed ROM with NAND method.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Al3xxxinho:
Hello and thank you for your reply.

I have tried 3 nand roms, all with the same problem.

Tried with another sd, still same problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NYLimited:
Re: every time I restart the phone, it "deletes all data" as if it was hard reseted

As already suggested by @SRI@, increase the size of your system partition before flashing again.

Ext4.win is the backup file made by TWRP. Ext4 is the filesystem of the file (I assume) and .win is their extension. It may just be as easy as renaming it to .zip and opening it, kind of like a .apk

Re: [Q] Extract *ext4.win files ([A] They are '.tar' archives)

I arrived here from a google search for the same problem so I thought others might, too. Here is what I found:

# file data.ext4.win
data.ext4.win: POSIX tar archive (GNU)
# mkdir data
# cd data
# tar xf ../data.ext4.win
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
...

While this worked, I was surprised that 7Zip complained that it did not recognize the file type, even when I changed the name to 'data.tar'.

Long story short: TWRP '*.ext4.win' backup files appear to be '*.tar' UNIX "tape archives". I would hesitate to say "standard 'tar' files" only because I encountered some unexplained wrinkle. (7Zip usually doesn't have any trouble.)

[Motorola Droid 4] Karl9001:
I ran into a problem on my stock rom that I thought I could fix by restoring a backup of my phone using safe strap 3.11. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but after the restore my phone would boot though the Motorola Duel Core screen, then the safe strap screen where you can press menu of search to go into recovery or t skip. Then the "droid" sound plays, but there is no boot animation (black back lit screen). I tried restoring two more times with the same result.

I then tried to flash the 4.0.4 fastboot file from sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php using RSD Lite 5.6, but it kept failing on the first step.

I'm still able to boot into recovery mode and I'm able to boot into the Cyanogen Mod 10.1 I have installed on one of my rom slots.

What can I do to fix my stock rom?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:

phone was in ap fastboot?
[Motorola Droid 4] Karl9001:
Yes and yes.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
you install moto drivers manually before flashing?

after flash failed, did you check Device Manager for an unknown device or device without a driver?

[Motorola Droid 4] Karl9001:
I can restore that using safe strap, right?

Also, do you have any advise for making backups, like program and settings? I think there might have been something wrong with the backup I made with safe strap because I don't get why it would load to a black screen just from restoring a backup, but I'm not sure what went wrong.

Could my problem flashing have something to do with my SDK? I used to have a Droid 2 and had to flash it several times from this computer and all I've updated since then has been the fastboot file, RSD Lite, and the moto drivers.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
yes restore with safestrap

your nandroid may have got corrupted, not sure why

After using your backup with safe strap and restoring my apps and data with titanium, almost everything is back to normal. I did run into a small problem with system updates under Settings > About Phone. When I check for updates it says "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later."

Do you know what would cause that or how I can fix it?

if you have removed/froze any stock apks, update may fail

just checked update works, over wifi for me, at least it said

if trying over LTE, may want to dial *228

if an update does get pushed a you can not update over the air

someone will post the update.zip, that can be flashed in stock android recovery

I thought it should, but who knows what the reason, the xml recovery file didn't work

you may have restore my nandroid

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IcarusR:
Hi folks, first post here.

Just bought a Galaxy N8010 WiFi & have a S5830i phone. I have unlimited data on the phone so I have created a portable wifi hotspot to use with the 5010. But when I get home I need to use home wif. Sometimes I forget to switch over. Is there a way to get 8010 to automatically change from this hotspot to wifi when I get home. I've looked at loads of wifi apps but can not find anything that will do this.

Tried Tasker but can not get my head around it.

Both are rooted. N8010 runs stock JB. S5830i runs stock Gingerbread. Both with latest updates.

Thanks in advance & sorry if question has been asked before.

[HTC One X+] jrockwell:
Reading through the ROM descriptions as well as through the forums it seems to me that Elegancia is generally concerned with optimal performance and battery life and Viper is mostly about customization and tweaks. Would experienced users say this is somewhat accurate? I'm asking because I just completed my first root and custom ROM install for my One X+ the other day and I chose elegancia because one of the main reasons I took the plunge into this daunting noob territory was that i wanted to improve what seemed the only real drawback to a great phone, namely the battery life, and this was highlighted in the elegancia description. And improve the battery life it did-- I now can get a FULL DAY (~13-14 hours) out of a charge, not having to resort to powersaver or be judicious with what I do with my phone. It's amazing how liberating this feels.

Anyway, I've been reading up on the Viper ROM and am loving all the personalization options it describes, namely the keyboard and theme options...but it doesn't say anything about the battery life in the description. What are people's experiences with battery life with this ROM? I am not prepared to give up the battery life I'm attaining with elegancia, but if if Viper could give me a couple extra hours than I had on the stock ROM, while perhaps not attaining elegancia levels, I still might be attempted to cross over.

When I get settled into a setup I will be making some donations.

Also, what's the best method for backing up apps and then reinstalling them after you flash a new ROM?
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
Take a backup in recovery and for Apps I use Titanium Backup.

I just moved from ARHD to Viper to test it, so that's what I did... If I don't feel comfortable with Viper I can put recovery and boot.img back and then restore my nandroid backup to have my phone back to where I left :)

Or install ARHD again and restore apps and data with Titanium. Never restore system apps and setting when moving between ROMs!
[HTC One X+] jrockwell:
What do you mean? Like HTC Sense apps? Can I back my apps up in elegancia and get at them in Viper? Or do I have to redownload everything once I've installed a new ROM? I'm in the process of backing up all my apps and data with titanium...gonna heed your suggestion and try and save my setup in elegancia and try out Viper for a bit.

Where does titanium store the backup file(s)?
[HTC One X+] ac3kill:
Do a backup and flash viper you can just use the same stock kernel I beleive as long as they havnt changed anything and try it out and if you font like it just restore your backup and your right where you left off
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
You should not restore the things under systems apps, but you can easily restore user apps (and data). Maybe they have changed something in system so it's better not to restore this... What do you mean with "HTC Sense apps"? In Viper they are included as well, so no need to restore them.

You don't have to redownload anything.

Titanium gives you the option to "Restore missing apps and data", you should not overwrite existing apps with your backup. If needed you can choose to restore only the app data so you can get back settings you did in apps (like bluetooth devices and stuff like that).

Titanium stores its backup in sdcard/titanium ;)

Good luck!
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Rom comparison threads are against forum rules. They always lead to ppl flaming eachother.
[HTC One X+] deeznuts:
Read less and flash more, can then easily figure it out yourself and answer your own questions. Simple
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
That's the reason why this is a "backup and restore" thread and has nothing to do with the ROMs itselves... maybe the OP could write a better subject ;)

I can understand the questions, it always takes me hours and hours (if not days!) to get a phone where I want it to be... all the apps, widgets, settings and other personal things, it's not done with "just flash the ROM"...
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Read the first few sentences :p
[HTC One X+] jrockwell:
Yes I discovered that...great app! :)

I mucked around a little bit and decided on DeSensed Elegancia with the Apex Launcher. I like the smoothness and some of the widgets in Sense but I know it's a big memory/battery drain and I love the customizability of the other launchers (themes/icons, number of apps per page etc.). Loving it so far and am thinking of trying the adw launcher on top of Apex for a bit.

Am pretty comfortable with backing things up and restoring now so it feels like I have a lot more freedom to explore and try things out.

I didn't realize that, and it's not my intention to start a turf war-- both ROMs are fantastic achievements-- I'm just trying to find the one that most suits my needs.

True, but I would also like to ask a few questions to make my flashing as efficient as possible. It can often take a couple days to really figure out if something is for you or not..the more info I can collect from other sources makes it easier for me to know where to start.

Anyway, thanks for all the suggestions/info everyone.
[HTC One X+] Yezariael:
I really love Sense things, especially the weather stuff! :good: I use ADW, and combined with Viper you can have endless tweaks and customizations!

With my use of phone the battery lasts for at least 2 or 3 days, sometimes up to 5 days with original ROM. So I don't bother about getting one or two hours more or less with De-Sensed ROMs... If you really want to have pure Android ROM try AOSP or Cyanogen...
