[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakta:
I am bumping the post instead of openning a new one - because it is the same question.

You wrote that Factory reset will not wipe Photos, Music etc.

Did you mean that if I saved it on external SD? Because in Nexus 4 there is no option to add SD card.

My question:

1. In my nexus 4, when doing factory reset - it erases EVERYTHING include Photos and music. so please help me understand.... cause I am confused. Does it reset everything or not?

2. In nexus 4, where is the option to Wipe data? I see only "Factory reset". In recovery console?

3. Any differences between Factory reset from the settings, to wipe data from Recovery?

thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
1. We do not have external sd in nexus 4. There are 2 types of recoveries; stock and custom. Stock recovery is what you get when flashing factory images while custom recoveries are twrp/cwm. In stock recovery, factory reset delete everything on your device. Everything in your internal as well. It will wipe clean your device. For custom recovery, it won't clear your internal sd storage so your photos/music/docs/backups are intact. It will only delete data partition which stores your downloaded apps. I hope you are clear on that now.

2. Factory reset=wipe data. In every recovery, it's the same.

3. No, it uses the same command so basically there is no difference. Depends on the recovery you use, factory reset on stock recovery deletes everything while on custom recovery sd card is still intact.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakta:
The answer that explained everything for me - is that there is a different between wiping data from Stock recovery to wiping from Custom, so now i get what you mean! :)

Flash rom and keep apps and data

Hi. Is it possible not to factory reset/ wipe data when flashing a newer rom? The reason I am asking is because I want to flash Lollipop on my Note 3 as Samsung keeps forgetting to send it to me OTA or via Kies. But I don't want to lose all apps and data. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shawn.Killer:
Hey. I have 1 question. I have pictures, music and videos on my Internal Memory, and I don't want to lose it (I didn't back it up anywhere and I don't have an SD card). Will Wipe Data/Factory Reset delete those stuff, or just apps, settings, etc?

I'm using S4 Mini i9192. I also have Philz Touch Recovery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffrhn:
I have not used Clockwork recovery for a very long time now so I don't know how it works nowadays. But last I used it, factory reset in cwm (philz is a modified version of cwm) does not result in complete wipe. It will leave out the sd card partition. But like I said, it was very long time ago. Make a backup of them if it is really important. Well, in my opinion, everything needs backup. Even things in your computer needs a backup.

p/s: Try to ask this in S4 thread. Here, we (nexus 4 users) mostly use twrp as cwm is discontinued for quite some time now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shawn.Killer:
Thanks, but did it delete your internal memory?

Probs, It was more of a question before I decided to turn it into a list, if anyone wants to check N7 versions for me and give me links I can add them too.
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
While I appreciate the effort, I think its dangerous to put kernels for other devices in the N4 section. Flashing a kernel meant for another device will instantly brick the N4. I see a report at least once a week the way it is. I can't help to think this may lead to more.

Alternatively, you can take a look at Bluetooth File Transfer. They have a PC version so you can use an explorer-style UI to manage/send files to your phone. I found it's pretty handy, but don't know if the bluetooth transfer rate is good enough for your needs.

then flash another custom rom

2- go back to stock rom by flashing a stock rom pack from doky via odin

2.) You probably don't have drivers that's why odin won't detect your phone

3.) Y U NO HAV BACKUP? it is very important that before doing something potentially dangerous requires safety, and that is to protect your data and device, which is at most your sole responsiblity,

[General Questions and Answers] karthikiyengar:
Hi,

I was wondering how accurate Quadrant and other benchmarks are when it comes to evaluating ROM performance.

Across all of the custom ROMs I've flashed, most of them have led to lower Quadrants (around 200 points lower) as compared to the stock ROM.

Some reading suggests that Quadrant scores can be easily spoofed, but nevertheless, how can I interpret this result?

That's the problem. They are easily faked. The only real way is by real world usage.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Believer:
I am trying (unsuccessfully so far) to develop a program that will create a data (modem) connection to a modem connected to any other phone. I then want to transfer a small file using xmodem.

I have done extensive searches and tried solutions with TAPI calls based on samples I have found. I can dial the number of my laptop from the i-mate and the laptop on my desk rings. I tell it to pickup the line (ATA) and it does, but there is no "LINECALLSTATE_CONNECTED" from the "lineInitialize" callback function on the imate. All I get is a "LINECALLSTATE_DISCONNECTED" with the type as "LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNREACHABLE". finally the it all hangs up, no connection.

I seem to be banging my head against a wall at the moment. There must be many of you out there who have done this or very similar.

I can post source is you want that type of thing, but I dont expect anyone to debug my app, but any pointers or others experiences are appreciated. I have come across the RIL interface, but I get the impression that TAPI is the "correct" way.

Thanks in advance.

Frustrated...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangelderp:
Have you got data enabled on your SIM. I was also banging my head against a wall until I thought I would check that with my service provider. There are 2 data things they can enable, one is fax but there is also data. Without data enabled you will never get a sucessfull modem connection.

Well sorry to say that was not the issue, I still only get repeated

"LINEDISCONNECTMODE_UNREACHABLE"

errors. I am starting to wonder if I am just getting really bad lines. Can someone who has made a modem connection from the PPC to a desktop modem please post their experience on how reliable it is and what type of connection speed it should connect at (9600? 1200? 300? any connection?).

Is their any working sample code for creating a data connection from the PPC using the TAPI?

I will be happy to publish the code to the small project I am doing so future developers have something to work from as I havent been able to find a working example so far. (when it works that is)

Any help appreciated.

Thank-you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Believer:
Figured out why it would not connect, for anyone else who has similar problems. Mine was the "CSC Line Type" option in the connection settings area.

It was set to "9600 v110" and "Non-transparent".

Im in australia, I understand the v.110 is the american standard, I changed it to

"9600 v.32" and "Non-transparent" and it connects fine. (dont you hate this type of bug)

Im still unsure what the "Transparent" and "Non-transparent" are todo with, if anyone could expain it would be appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vangelderp:
I am glad you got it working. So I guess your code must be OK. I did not set any special communication mode so I guess that my XDA must of been set correctly anyway. It seems sensible that you are supplied with a setup for the country your device is meant for. I say this is bad of the provider.

How do you get to this setting ? I can't even seem to find it on my XDA. I have got a CSD setting that has a choice of 'Analogue' or 'ISDN' mode, mine is set to 'Analogue'.

The code actually worked almost first time when I had all the connection settings right. Ive got the XModem transfer working now also.

The "CSD Line Type" on my device (an i-mate) is an icon in the setting connection tab. In the same tab there is also

"Beam" - allows you to turn on recieve all incoming beams

"Bluetooth" - on/off/discoverable and bonding

"Connections" - normal connection setup

"GPRS Settings" - PAP/CHAP auth and class 8(4RIT)/class 10(3R2T)

not sure what the different GPRS settings are for either, but that side seems to work.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
A good day to all you fellow developers, trouble shooters and geeks from other corners :)

I wanted to create my account here some time now, but now it's been kind of necessary.

You see, i (lightly) bricked my phone... i like to call it "clayed".

I honestly thought i had done my research and everything went ok... until i used EZ-Unlock to unlock my bootloader.

I remember pressing the "unlock" button 3 times or so because the status above said "Unknown" while a small temporary message beneath said "Bootloader unlock: successful".

The next morning, when my phone shut down due to an empty battery (forgot to charge my phone, so no excessive drain or anything), i plugged it into the wall for battery charging.

Then it went directly in download mode, which i can't get past.

The screen ONLY consists of a plain android in front-view with underneath the text: Downloading... Do not turn off target!!"

So no extra text as within Odin mode.

However i CAN get into Odin mode and CWM recovery mode.

I think that the bootloader got corrupt in some way myself.

But what should i do?

Flash it with a new one? And what is the best way?

I don't have a recovery at hand... but i don't care if the whole storage needs to be wiped if needed.

====================================

INFO:

- Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9300

- Rooted

- Bootloader unlocked (Houston, we have...)

- Odin mode = possible

- CWM recovery mode = possible

====================================

Thanks for reading!

Greetings
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Well for a start, the international doesn't have a locked bootloader.......and that unlock app is for gs3 Verizon, which I assume does have a locked bootloader, so either you don't have an international and are in the wrong section, or, as per most posts here, you have failed to read and understand what you are doing
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Thanks for the quick response.

I apparently didn't catch the parts about not having a locked bootloader, and the fact that the app is for Verizon.

My phone is the international version.

So, i know it's my fault although i really thought i knew enough while not even being close.

There is so much to rooting (and around it).

Do you, or anyone else, perhaps know what is going on with my phone from this point... and what to do about it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Well the best bet would be to flash a stock firmware with Odin and pray like hell, what country are you in, and have you used Odin before?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Oof that doesn't sound too good.

I did use Odin (version 3.07) before to root my phone. I understand it's this desktop application which allows to flash/inject software to portable devices.

I am from the Netherlands, where i got my phone from T-Mobile.

With stock firmware, you mean like flashing my current state with the original TouchWiz ROM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
yes, then factory reset
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
Firstly I'd suggest downloading latest bootloader and patching it with odin even before patching anything else. You can't be sure that it's stable and won't cause any further issues after flashing.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Luckily i've got patience, so i waited a bit before taking action.

Patching the latest bootloader through odin first seems a good idea indeed.

But should i do only that and then try to reboot since everything else still is untouched...

or would it seem better to setup odin with the new bootloader AND the stock ROM all in 1 go?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
I'd suggest starting with bootloader, then rebooting. Then on the second go flashing custom recovery and on the last step flashing rom but not through odin but through recovery.

You can find my guide on flashing custom recovery in my ArchiDroid topic if you wish.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Thanks so much for the help already!

I'm going to read your guide and then get to work.

I'll place the outcome here of how it went and if there were any unusual hickups along the way as feedback to potential other unfortunate tweakers like myself... although i hope other people won't be as clumsy as me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
And the last one. Flashing with odin is nearly the same but if you're flashing bootloader then download latest bootloader and place it as "Bootloader" in Odin.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digitalstone:
Well, i've done what you specified.

And there's just a slight improvement on the bootup.

The difference with the previous experience is, that there is now a quick glimpse of the Samsung logo... but then immediately the plain download screen pops up.

I did flash a custom recovery though (Philz recovery).

I haven't tried flashing a custom ROM yet, but something tells me that that's not going to help since it's just the upper layer of everything.

If you've flashed bootloader and actually you CAN enter recovery (through combination vol-up+home+power) then everything is fine and don't worry. Just don't forget to clean your old system.

Yes i am able to enter recovery through vol-up+home+power.

But alright, i should then go into recovery and do:

- Wipe Dalvic Cache (?)

- Wipe Data/Factory Reset

- Install Zip (being the custom ROM like CyanogenMod for instance)
