[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donjar:
I can't seem to restore my backup back to my phone...

My backup files are inside both the internal and the external SD cards. In both cards there's a folder named clockworkmod, which has a folder named backup inside, which has a folder named with the timestamp (Apr-19-Fri.19.44 for me). In the timestamp folder there are the backup files.

But, it says that no backup files are found when I tried to recover using ROM Manager, the S3 Mini Toolkit, and from the TWRP recovery.

Am I doing something wrong?

Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks! :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
with what recovery you made your backup??
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antukubo:
You are obviously using CWM to make that backup. TWRP will never restore it. Just re-flash CWM and you are good to go
[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donjar:
I made it with the toolkit... So I'll just flash the CWM 6.x.x.x recovery to my phone and restore from my phone's recovery mode?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TechnoBraker:
Guys,

I'm relatively new to flashing recovery and ROMs..

So, sorry if this is a noob question..

I really need urgent help!

I am on V20a (ESA-XXX) and have successfully rooted my phone.

I tried installing CWM using this method..

The phone doesn't start and does not go into recovery either..

The phone is not even recognised by my PC.. keeps restarting (to error screen) if i connect to pc..

PLEASE HELP!!

SOLUTION:

Reflash .kdz via Software Upgrade Mode (hold Power button and Volume - )
[LG Optimus 4X HD] hernestwisnu:
Dude, reflashing your phone should work. As long as SW mode is still accessible, your phone isn't dead yet. Follow the instructions on this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35971349 Be freaking sure all necessary drivers are properly installed.

Or you can put your phone in recovery mode (power + vol +) and reinstall the stock rom using recovery LG tools providing your Internet connection is fast and stable
[LG Optimus 4X HD] alekthefirst:
hey dude, i have flashed 7 times exactly since this morning only. and i have gotten that error 3 times of those 7. so it should not be a problem
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TechnoBraker:
Thanks!

After a few attempts, was able to go to the s/w upgrade mode.. (power + vol(-) )

Reflashed .kdz and it's all good.. (had to root again)

Actually, i was freaked out more coz it's my new phone and i didn't find others with the problem..

I hope that this thread would help if anyone faces a similar problem in the future..

[LG Optimus 4X HD] GeBoe:
But WHY AND HOW did it happen? have you flashed a custom rom now without errors?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] @non4:
You needed to unlock bootloader first, either "adb reboot oem-unlock" or download terminal emulator, root the phone and type:

And once again:

flashing stock is not at all dangerous. it will not brick your device or something else.

Sometimes you even have to re-stock your phone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] TechnoBraker:
Stock is safe!

haha, flashing the stock rom back can never be a problem..

that is the only rom which inherently supposed to be problem-free!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] STRAWBERRYHEAD:

Had the exact same problem as TechnoBraker however if you held the power button as the phone turned to "power save" and you timed it perfectly it would start normally and as long as i didnt try to go into recovery mode it was fine

Have i go bak to JB anytime?

HEy

I have a question:

Have I flash to JB back anyway or can I only Unlock my BL and then it will work?

Sry my English is very bad ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
Bootloader unlocking is only available if you're on JB. If your boot image is faulty you need to revert back to official JB.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mivoe99:
Ok, but I haven't installed a cousom ROM

I havent' installed a cusotm ROM yet. I have only installed CWM with ROM Manager, but i have already tried to delete the CWM I want to flash it manual.

;)

My ROM is the normal LG P880 ROM JB.

How or have I go back to the normal JB?

Sry for my English I'm german
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
German here too ;)

So if I understood you right, you tried to install CWM without unlocking your boot loader? So now you got a boot image error? I'd suggest to try LG Mobile Support Tool and flash V20A/V20B and then unlock Boot loader. Even if you're on "official JB" as of now, installing CWM without unlocked bootloader screwed your boot image and there's no way to do anything without flashing back a kdz. :)

LG Mobil Support Tool doesn't work

Hey,

I have tried to do the Update to the Firmware by LG Mobile Support Tool but there is a Error every try. I have tried it about ten times but the Update fails every time. What can I do now? :/

There is no Error Code or something.

Can help a factory reset there?

Or should i falsh the Original Recovery with the All-in-One toolkit?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Omario-242:
Could be due to wrong drivers. Reinstall them and try again.

Hello all,

I am having a problem that I can not solve.

A friend gave me his LG P880 that exhibits this problem:

when I turn on it shows the LG logo and the words

[LGE _SECURITY] error: boot image signature

[LGE _SECURITY] 5 seconds after power is turned off for power saving.

I tried to perform all the procedures I could find but finding always a problem: I can not install the LG Mobile support tool. It stops immediately after it is started and does not continue. To quit the operation must use the Task Manager.

I have a pc with Win7x64, I cleaned the registry with various programs, tried every possible combination (run as administrator, installed \ uninstalled drivers and LG PC Suite, turnoff antivirus, etc) but the problem persists.

How can I fix this?

Thank you in advance!! :)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] MSHampton:
So, I got my new note 8.0, and I tell SVoice "Start timer for 10 minutes" and she says back to me, "This device does not support this feature." Really? Why would they not have the standard Samsung clock app that has the timer and stopwatch? I tried using the one from my S-II, but it just FCed on me. Tried loading one from Play, but SVoice still doesn't recognize it has a timer program.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] kisrita:
Use Google Now instead of S Voice, and ask it to "remind me in 10 minutes to ....". And add Ivona Voice text to speech with one of the Ivona voices to get rid of that God awful robotic voice Samsung included.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] VeroKarZ:
If you've got Google Now, ask it to set a timer, and watch what happens.

It sets a timer from the stock alarm app... And I don't know where to access that option..:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dafoxs:
Just want to share this. It's been tested out west. All phones will eventually be using one. App's like Isis and Google wallet will require it.

I called att and asked about one, just to get wallet working. They confirmed it's needed now.

Any way they are over nighting me one at no charge. Local stores will be getting then. Most stores won't know what it is yet.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyabiziz:
Some things from this information doesn't make sense. How could at&t confirmed something that the company doesn't support(google wallet)? Why would Google limit itself to require an additional secure element sim card? If this were in fact true would means most likely that all current non-sim based(cmda) android smartphones would say bye-bye to Google wallet. Im just guessing when I say maybe google now doesn't work on phones with root as does Isis.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
It makes perfect sense...IMHO

Considering the fact that gwallet is recovering from a large number of security loopholes in their platform.

The "secure element" SIM card is a proven answer to secure card data on the device, and it can also be removed and placed into another device in minutes, and set up to work again if the user desires to trade for another compatible device, or if a warranty exchange is needed. But does require the user to provide the right passwords, and answers to security questions before any access to money can be performed.

My SE SIM works perfectly for ISIS here in Utah, and I'm sure it will roll out to other States very soon.

I for one am not happy about the SE SIM not working on a rooted device, but from a security standpoint, I'd rather have my accounts intact than worry about having the latest ROM out.

The balance between security and root will eventually be found, (albeit here on XDA) but for now, don't count on having a rooted phone, and expect to use ISIS or gwallet without the device being locked down. (happened to me last week, and ISIS knew about my root commands within minutes, causing me a whole day worth of unroot and hassle just to get my own money back.

ATT and Google have plenty to worry about when users entrust their personal finances into the care of corporations. And you can bet two things will take place. Restrictive and painful measures to control the security threats, and our paying for those measures.

This opinion is only mine....so please don't flame me for it, and enjoy your devices in any fashion you choose. I for one am greatful that my card # is safe behind that new SE wall, at least for today.

And dafoxs, MANY THANKS for all of your hard work on our behalf. It is much appreciated....g

Are you tied to a contract at all with your N4? The specs appear to be better on the newer phones, but you must hold strong and stay away from hype and read some good Vs. reviews.

I understand but what might be a better performer for me may be different for someone else and previous devices don't matter, now is what matters. All the reviews online will help you more, trust me. And the nexus 4, HTC One and galaxy s 4 are all fast phones so it won't even matter. What matters is if you like stock android, if you like sense or touchwiz, if you're ok with a plastic phone or if you need a premium looking phone, if you need the best performer in the camera... there are so many factors here and again we all have different opinions, even some of us are having a hard time choosing but if speed is what you're looking for than the nexus 4 is very fast I can tell you that now.

Hello,

2 weeks ago my phone started to have a strange behaviour:

Every third photo i took was okay, like everytime, but the rest was broken. Basically they wont show any kind of picture information as well as on the device and on the computer.

Im on the latest ViperS ROM and Bricked kernel 1.4, the rest of the device works perfectly.

Any ideas?

Latest vipers? As in the jellybean version? 3.0.0 has no working camera yet. Devs are working on it. If you're on 1.6.3, try a different kernel, or try fix permissions. If these don't help, you might have developed a hardware fault. That won't be possible to fix.

I know that every android device out there is not ready or capable to be running Android 4.2.2 as case in point my Galaxy Note 2 running 4.1.1. How do I download and access those other versions of the Android SDK then because I want my apps to be able to be ran on multiple devices.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I dont know about the Nexus 7 much, but I have a Nexus 7 and expect them to be very similar to the NExus 10.

Personally, the tf700 has had a huge increase in speed with 4.2.1. But if you are wanting it to be a gaming tablet more than a typing/work station/everyday tablet, then I would go with the Nexus 10. The GPU on the TF700 is not build to run games on a full HD screen like the one the Nexus 10 has. It is your opinion but I prefer the tf700 because of the keyboard and extra battery, makes it totally worth it. Writing up papers, even this, would be almost painful on the nexus 10 in my opinion, I hate touch screen keyboards ;).

In the end it is your choice and what you want to use it for. Personally I think the tf700 is the best out there, but not the top for gaming. Also, I am unlocked with CromiX so mine is faster than stock by far.
