No.

I really wish they would remove those instructions from that thread, or at least add that it's only necessary if you have used Bootstrap and installed a custom ROM that overwrites stock and screwed up the phone.

So yes. Install Safestrap. If you are using Safestrap 3.05, create a ROM slot. Activate that ROM slot after you create it. There will be no reason to wipe if you create a ROM slot - but it won't hurt, either. If you are using an older Safestrap, switch to safe mode. In that case, I think that you should wipe data/factory reset.

I am getting ready to upgrade to a new phone.

I would like to completely erase all data from the phone that accumulated while I owned it.

Is there an easy way to completely wipe all user data from the phone?

I'll probably donate the phone or recycle it, so I don't want any sensitive information to remain on the phone.

Thanks for any help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigkiler5:
Settings>privacy settings> factory reset. Then in storage unmount sd and format it.

Or if you are gonna revert to stock gb then repair using pc companion which will remove all of your phone data and then same procedure for formatting sd card. Or you can format it using pc

However if you had a custom kernel and ROM on you should wipe /system /data and /cache partitons via recovery, flash the stock kernel back and flash the stock ROM with SEUS.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] scott.hart.bti:
Hey Guys.... I am reaching out to the community in hopes of finding someone that is willing to donate their infuse to me so that i can continue my development for this device. My Infuse is currently in poor condition as the USB connector is pretty much screwed. As of the past couple months, I have had to keep the device positioned correctly in a certain way so that the cable (whether just charging or mounted) stays connected and any slight movement would disconnect. It has gotten worse since that point and is almost at the point i am unable to connect to charge it. So.... Can anyone out there help me out? If you are not familiar with my work, please check out the links in my signature. Thanks.

Scott,

Stupid question but have you by chance tried a different usb cable? I had the same issue on mine and still do. i have 2-3 cables that will fall right out of the port or not charge unless possitioned correctly. i tried a brand new cable and my problem was gone. Just figured i would throw it out there incase it helps the situation.

Its gestures like this that in my opinion, make XDA such a great community to be a part of.

FYI... In a week or so, you guys are going to be very happy that rwaterspf1 was able to donate his device... Im not going to tell you exactly what is going on, but lets just say you are all in for a HUGE surprise.... Can we say new project? :)

Thanks very much scott for the continues development to our device and for the dedications and hardwork you have given to the infuse community, and to rwaterspf1 we we're very grateful for your generosity thanks very much sir.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rwaterspf1:
Thank you all for the kind words. :) Without the developers here on xda we would all be stuck with whatever the OEM's wanted to push on us. I have been using Scott's ROMs and have learned a ton about Android from reading posts here. I recently got an ATT Galaxy SIII and from what I have learned here on xda have ported Scott's Beanstalk so I can have the goodness on my new phone! I am very happy to be able to have a way to actually give something back to this community.

Thanks to both of you. Seriously.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] PoXFreak:
I'm wondering...

Have you sourced out the board the connector is mounted to? I can only assume it can't be that expensive given the age of the device. I can't remember but I think I may have the breakdown and parts list somewhere... Prolly on a hard drive here somewhere.

I just think you could do twice as much with 2 working devices.... ;)

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicbearman:
I placed my nexus 10 on charging yesterday, and after a while (2-4 hours later) when i came back, i found the device to be turned off, I tried the power button in all the combination with volume buttons, but still no luck (even held the power button for 3mins) I searched online, and couldnt find any help on other forums. Some said to keep it on charging overnight and then try powering it up. But still no luck.

I dont get any notification when i connect it to charger, although when i press the power button while connected the screen lights up, and battery charging sign shows up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :)

So you cannot even get to the recovery?

You ether over charged it (very unlikely to happen) or you have a faulty N10.

No, can't even get to recovery. But i have been using the device for over two months now, nothing like this ever happened. What about the charging sign when i press the power button. It might be some kind of a sleep mode or something, no?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolApps:
Could be a bootloader corruption, software issue, hardware issue or some part of the hardware "thinks" that it is still on when it is not causing it to not switch on.

Have you noticed any issues before it just came off like extreme overheating?

Well, yes the tablet was getting overheated after a long session of hd videos, or games, but that use to happen all the times.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
I believe this is normally called a "Sleep of Death" or sometimes "screen off death". Hold power + vol up + vol down at the same time for 5 seconds and you should boot into fastboot. From there hit the power button to turn the tablet on. Then go about finding a better ROM/kernel combo that doesnt give you this problem.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epicbearman:
Like i said, its not working i tried using that combination, it wouldnt budge. Screen wont even turn on.

Weird how it was taking any input from the power button though. I kept the tablet on charging over night and i tried turning it on in the morning and it worked.

Thank you all.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eric Weir:
I've had my Nexus 10 for less than a week, and this morning I encountered this problem. I was working on setting up syncing through an app called FolderSync and SugarSync. Syncing of one of the folders seemed to go into a loop. The device locked up completely a couple times. I got the process running again and left it running while I went for a workout. When I came back no way could I get it turned on.

I had tried all the things suggested here before checking here for help. I'll try your "solution" of leaving the device on charge overnight. If I can't get it going tomorrow morning I'll return it to Staples, where I bought it.

I have an iPad and have never encountered anything even close to these problems. Bought the Nexus 10 specifically to run the Vim Touch app for Android. The only Vim app for the iPad is horribly crippled.

Sounds like this thread pretty much exhausted the possibilities by the time epicbearman discovered his "solution," but if by chance anyone has any further suggestions I would be grateful.

Thanks,

Eric Weir

I had the exact problem as the OP and none of my chargers worked. I then googled and found someone that said to try to charge via their PC USB instead of the wall charger. I left it plugged into the USB for a couple of hours and the charge went to 4% ( so it must have been very dead ) and all is well.

Will order a Nexus 7 from Google. If I can get Vim Touch running successfully---my reason for wanting an Android tablet---and I find the screen to small for heavy writing---I want to get by with a soft keyboard---I'll order another 10 and give the 7 to my daughter.

thanks for your help in advance.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ChaoZ:
yes you can upgrade your eng born O2 XDA II, if you can find the chinese rom...

But I think you are looking for the simplified chinese versions.. which maybe you would have to source from dpod, a china company which maybe use that..

the ROM provided by O2 asia is in traditional.

[Nook HD, HD+ General] leapinlar:
You can either use stock to download the CM10.1 zip directly to the internal SD or connect the USB cable with stock booted and use the cable to copy the file from your PC to the internal SD.

Once the file is on the internal SD, you can boot to the SD again and use the "install zip from SD/choose zip from internal memory" option.

And my files are attached to the post he quoted (my HD+ Hybrid thread linked in my signature) and instructions are there to. I have a section there devoted to the HD Hybrid.

I am really sorry to be so dense about this. I copied the ROM and the GAAPS to the Internal SD, I didn't put it inside any particular folder. Now when I boot the nook back up, choosing install zip from SD/Internal memory - it asks choose which zip to apply - i do not see the ROM zip and the GAAPS zip.

Did I need to extract the Flashable ROM zip and copy those files to the internal SD or the copying the entire folder is fine?

What am I missing....

I don't remember exactly how bokbokan did his CWM internal memory. You may have to look in a folder named /media.

And keep the zips intact.

Power Button: To go up one menu, for example if you go into "Advanced", to return to the original menu, you simple press the power key.

Volume Up/Down: These two keys are for navigation purposes, allowing you to scroll up or down the menu respectively. Use these keys to highlight your option.

Home/'n' Button: This is to select the current option, for example, if you're currently hovered over "Reboot system now", and press the 'n' key, your tablet would reboot.

Use the power button. :)

You mean once you have left CWM and booted to CM10, how do you get back to CWM recovery? Reboot and hold the n key. A boot menu will pop up. Follow the directions there to get to CWM recovery.

Since you wiped it after installing Gapps, there's no need to do it again; as it won't make a difference. But if you want to, simply boot into recovery.

On a Nook HD, to boot into the recovery. Turn off your Nook, and using the boot menu select CWM. Or, if you prefer, follow the guide here from Step 3 to 5: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2233688

Use the boot menu to get to stock. To get to CM10 from rooted stock, install an app from Play Store named Quick Boot by Sirius Applications. You can use that to tell it to reboot. If you do not have stock rooted, you must power off and back on.

Well, figured this may be useful for a lot of people who have broken USB ports and don't want to send their cappy out to get it fixed for ~40$ when you can buy a new one for maybe 70 (I got mine for that price on ebay).

Stop right here. If you cannot afford to possibly brick your cappy, stay away for now until more confirmed successes. I'm not responsible for your bricked device because you couldn't read this, the ALPHA tag, or the CAN POSSIBLY BRICK YOUR DEVICE that's right here.

This guide is based off TRusselo's guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266

...with a few modifications of course. Note, you need Mobile Odin (which will cost you a few bucks, I've had it for quite some time it was pretty useful).

Again I take no credit for the links and recovery mode instructions, those are all from the original guide to flash any rom.

Please please please, do NOT try this if you can't afford to brick your device possibly, this is a highly untested method and should only be used as a last resort or to help test it so we can perfect the method and try to prevent as many bricked cappy's as possible :victory:

Great guide! :highfive:

One thing though, if you want the solution to post 5, make them download Corn Kernel. It will boot on 2.3.5 if they ever mess up.

Another thing, if flashing a JB ROM, they'll need to flash as per their FULL instructions (which also means, flashing the ROM twice) and can't forget the Gapps ;)

P.S.: Perhaps recolor the bright green, hard to read on the xda white background.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] taldiyen:
Hello everyone. I'm having a bit of an interesting issue, and while (probably) not entirely confined to my new HTC One device, I was hoping you all could give me a bit of assistance!

Yesterday I made the switch from Sprint to AT&T and received my brand new HTC One in the mail. I'm a long time Google Voice user (using since late 2009), and have used it for all texting, calling, and voicemail on all android phones I've owned. I figured when I pre-ordered my phone, for simplicity sake I would just transfer my sprint number over to AT&T so I didn't have to deal with sprint customer support cancelling my service. This seems to have caused some major problems to my use of Google Voice, however. I was able to get everything set up again, but I'm having serious issues receiving calls forwarded from Google Voice to my phone.

During my tests trying to set this up, it appears that I DO have everything configured as I had previously on Sprint. I'm able to place calls and people see my google voice caller id, I can send and receive texts through the voice app, and my conditional forwarding sends all calls (both my regular number and google voice) to google voicemail. When I receive calls, however, I'd say 95% of the time it is so slow to foward that my phone that my callers will hit voicemail before it rings my phone. The only strange thing I see in my google voice settings is that my carrier for that number keeps getting recognized as Sprint instead of AT&T.

In my troubleshooting I've linked my girlfriend's phone (sprint) to my account and a co-workers phone (at&t), both forwarded just fine immediately. At this point I'm kind of running out of ideas. I'm thinking I might run down to an AT&T after work and request a new number. Would this be a reasonable thing to do to try to solve the problem? Since i'm such a new customer, do you think I could get that 36$ new number fee waived? Not being able to receive calls forwarded from my Google Voice number is kind of a deal breaker for me, as I'm heavily reliant on that number at this point. If anyone could provide any advice/assistance it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
