Hey!

I went to the ROM's thread, it actually isn't Jellybean, it's still Gingerbread but has been modified to look like Jellybean.

If MTKdroid tools work for your phone then you can use it to restore your IMEI(I believe there's an option for that).

IMEI can be found on the bill that you got with your device, or even in the device's battery chamber.

By the way, what did you mean by:

[General Questions and Answers] HamdiArjuna:
Yeah, I got my device IMEI back to original :D. But the problem is if radio on SIM1 can't connect to cell network and status bar says "No SIM Card", if radio off SIM1 recognise sim card and status bar says " No Service". Now I just use SIM2, its working but its just 2G.

I mean my device chipset is Spreadtrum sc7731, but if I connect to adb and open MTK droid tools it says my chipset is sc8831 :D

Is device serial number related to this problem?

No, I don't think that the problem is related to your device's chip set, I was just curious. I didn't know you can use a Spreadtrum device with MTKdroid tools.

There is no way you can do this without rooting (I am not even sure if you can make it do that even when rooted.)

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
If it were to be a MediaTek device then you could have edited the EBR files on your firmware and flash them to repartition your phone storage.

But unfortunately it's not :/

You can still use link2SD to dedicate a partition on your external SD for apps but for that you need to be rooted.

Those are the two ways I know.

---------- Post added at 07:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

From what I understand:

Restore system

This is the ROM part, if you only restore this part then you'll boot into a system which would seem like it's just been rest to factory.

Restore data

This is your data that the ROM has on it, like apps, SMS, call logs, etc.

Restoring this part will bring all those things back.

Restore cache

This is the cache that your apps generate and parts of the system generates.(dalvik cache not included, I think)

Could use some help here. I'm running CM12 lollipop on my VZW galaxy s3. After updating from the play store to the latest Google (Now) Search, I get this, "Internet Connection Unavailable".

It can be done with root for sure, not sure about non rooted though. The internal memory can be repartitioned to make more usable space but there are risks involved if not done correctly, then there is the issue of taking to much space from system and not leaving enough for system cache or any system updates for stock apps.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know much about IMEI either. I know how to make a backup of it and how to restore if corrupted so I can avoid having to fix it from scratch, if its lost and no backup of the IMEI itself was made then its pretty hard to get back. But thats only if it is truly gone. Its not always killed in all cases, some it doesn't show in system but is still there. If it were gone then you wouldn be getting any connection at all.

If its truly gone then it will have to be manually rewritten.

Nandroid backup or stock rom ?

Hi, sorry if I cut someone's question..

Recently I f*cked-up with my HTC One M8, but hopefully I made a nandroid backup. But, I want a fully-functional phone without lags, bugs or whatever. So, to be 100% stock like if my phone was new, is it better to stay on a Nandroid backup, or to install a stock rom ? Like which one is the most stable ?

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't think you quite understand what a nandroid backup is. A nandroid backup is a backup you create in custom recovery of any ROM that is installed, you can have multiple nandroid backups saved, one for each ROM you've tried, even more than one for each ROM and have them all setup differently with different apps and settings configuration.

As for finding which is most stable, I'm not familiar with the ROMs for your device but most of the time you can tell which is the most stable by looking at which ones have been downloaded the most. The unstable ones tend to be avoided and the good ones get downloaded a lot.

[General Questions and Answers] LowPoly:
Yup but the backup I did was a backup of my stock rom before root. What I mean is: usually, is a backup better than a ROM to stay for a long time on ? If we mean that both the backup and the rom are 100% stable, which one is the best ? I don't know if I'm clear x)
[General Questions and Answers] mrrocketdog:
you could look at it like this , which is better ; a copy or the original.

or ..... if theyre both 100% stable then ... ?

I'm wondering if someone could point me in the direction of some kernels that are f2fs-all compatible? I have come across plenty of kernels that have f2fs support but I don't think they are f2fs-all. I dunno, I'm still learning. As a side note, I used the. "convert to f2fs" app to convert Slimkat 4.4.4 build 9 to F2fs-all. So kernels that are reported to work well with this rom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks XDA.

EDIT_ Forgot to mention that I am using a Nexus 7 (grouper)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
So your question should have been "which is better, stock or custom", your stock before the backup(along with any changes in settings and apps) and your stock after backup are no different, they are identical, that's the point of making the backup, so you can go back to it if a problem is encountered. Its best to clear out any junk before you make the stock nandroid so that when/if you ever need to restore it you don't have the junk that may interfere with stuff you have from custom ROMs you have been through, I say this because even though you factory reset/wipe caches there are things that don't get wiped so the non wiped stuff from stock and non wiped stuff from the custom ROMs can clash in certain cases. Most of the time its not an issue but if it ever does go trippy after restoring the stock backup then you need to do a full system and data format to go back to a clean slate before you restore the stock backup, this ensures no clash from things hanging around from other ROMs. You gotta be careful and take the right steps before you do the format though because you could end up with no OS at all and end up with a headache trying to get your device back to working order, just make sure you make nandroid to ext SD instead of to internal because when they are stored on internal they are stored in data/media which would get wiped in the format leaving you with nothing to restore.

And how did you make a nandroid of your stock BEFORE root? Typically root is required to make a nandroid.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
The exact same thought came to my head too. But then I realized you need custom recovery to install superuser. Perhaps he made the backup before flashing SU, but I doubt it. ;)

Superuser is needed for root, unlocked bootloader is all you need to flash TWRP. I, myself, have never thought to nandroid before gaining root.
[General Questions and Answers] durbshas:
Yes, Xposed. Damn autocorrect. Thanks.

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Yeah, I've come across things about flashing recovery before root and have even asked about it on more than one occasion but all I ever got was you needed root first, but then I see stuff about installing recovery on a non rooted device. I've found more than one thread that conflict on this point so its hard to understand which is correct. It makes no sense to me, I try to rely on what more experienced people say on this subject but even devs have told me that root is required BEFORE you can install recovery, but then I see posts and threads that do not follow that order. My thought was maybe it just depends on the device because the process is different in all of them, maybe most can't do it without root first and just some can do it without, I'm undecided because info available is just inconclusive.

I could see a recovery and nandroid being done before root but I can't see anything being flashed without root because system can't be touched without root. Its hard to get the facts straight on this.

[General Questions and Answers] User17745:
As far as I know, you only need to unlock your bootloader before flashing anything using fastboot.

As a matter of fact, the first guide I ever read about flashing a custom recovery(I think) suggested to first temporarily boot into CWM and make a NANDroid backup before flashing CWM permanently.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
They can do more than bootloop and crash apps, they can even softbrick you, while a bootloop is a form of softbrick, there is also a softbrick where you can't boot to anything but recovery and/or download mode(or whatever its called for your device). Sometimes the module may even work or not work with no issues at all after installing the module and you don't know it causes a bootloop/softbrick until you try rebooting.

As far as I know I've never dealt with unlocking bootloader on a device, I've never had to use a process to unlock a bootloader before rooting or flashing, luckily. I'll eventually run across one that requires it.

Tapped under ice from my Ice Cold lollipopped S3
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
Well, that's because you use and recommend one click rooting methods like Framaroot, etc.

Rooting manually requires:

1) unlock bootloader

2) flash custom recovery

3) flash superuser in recovery

One of the reasons I never recommend one click methods is that you don't get to actually learn the processes that happen, and often users will get issues along the way, and are totally lost when it comes to ADB and fastboot commands. Manually rooting is really quite simple, and introduces ADB to the user, making it less intimidating for them when they need to jump into fastboot for something.,

Of course, there are low spec devices that developers don't bother working with. With those, one click methods seem to be the only way.
