[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekngen:
I just did a downgrade to stock 4.1.1 using Odin (which flashed it back to stock recovery), but before I downgraded (I was on 4.2), I did a nandroid backup in CWM.

After the downgrade to 4.1.1, I reflashed recovery with the newest version of CWM using the unified toolkit and tried to recover the nandroid backup, but it said no file found. The backup was already on my external sdcard, so then I tried moving it to another folder as mentioned in this thread, but that didn't work either. I didn't have that exact directory as it was posted, but I didn't think that would matter, so long as it was copied over from external to internal or vice versa.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chocobubba:
I've been running PA for a while now, and I was wondering what the best method for swapping Roms is. (What to wipe) and how to do so without losing what is stored on my internal sd card, our currently installed apps.

(As a side question, what are some good roms with pie?)

Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Factory reset, which will wipe data (but leaves /data/media intact) and cache. Although generally not necessary, I'd also format /system. Many devs will have their updater script format it as part of the flash, but I have seen a handful that have not. Your apps will be wiped when doing a clean flash- that's just the way it is. You should not be dirty flashing (wiping just cache and dalvik) between roms as it will lead to problems. You can use apps such as Titanium Backup or Rom Toolbox to backup and restore your user apps. Do not restore system apps or data.

Your side question is a quick and easy way to get this thread locked. Go to the dev forum for your device, whether it's tilapia or grouper, and do some reading and test drive a rom or two that piques your interest. There is no substitute for research and forming your own informed opinions.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
you should also nandroid backup before you flash anything, that way you have a safe point to restore to if something goes wrong, or you don't like the new rom.

if it's a rom upgrade (not rom switch), you can flash directly over the top at your own risk if the changes are relatively minor and the dev says full wipe not needed. you won't lose any data and it saves having to set everything up again. i've personally never had a problem when flashing an upgrade straight over the top. I always do a nandroid backup beforehand though just in case :good:

and yeh..find a rom you like, not what someone else says is best for them...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
If you're flashing 'like-for-like', ie, flashing a ROM upgrade, you can generally 'dirty flash' it over the top - UNLESS THE DEVELOPER STATES OTHERWISE.

The developer of the ROM I use always states 'no wipes needed' when he releases a new version...

-----------

If you're changing ROMs completely, then a factory reset is necessary, otherwise you're likely to have all manner of problems...

So backup your apps using Titanium beforehand...

-----------

You can optionally format /system... but be careful... make definitely sure you have on internal storage, either...

a) A flashable ROM .zip

...or...

b) a NANDROID backup

...or you'll find you have a tablet with no OS... just a custom recovery and the bootloader... although not irresolvable, such a situation is a pain in the arse to fix!

-----------

Above all... before you do anything -

MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP

- I cannot emphasise this enough. It takes less than 5 minutes. And it is your lifeline back to a functioning Nexus, should anything go wrong.

Good luck...

Rgrds,

Ged.

Hello guys,

I just wanted to ask you all that which website is the best for making my own android apps.

I tried appgeyser.com and made one app of my blog. It was good but is there any other website where we can just select the looks of the app from list or upload our own design.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] shree_tejas:
Ever heard of " GOOGLE"?

Here the apps are developed from scratch....not by some fancy website where you enter your desired URL and Viola! A new app!

I'd suggest you go through the recently formed app development forum...try and learn" HOW TO ACTUALLY MAKE AN APP" .

Even if its lame at start.. YOU DID IT!

U get some idea about making apps and its basic principles by using these buy they r no where near to actual app building :p

[LG Revolution] osasa71:
Hi

I bought LG revolution vs910 from ebay. Its locked on Verizon carrier.

I manage to unlock the menum but not the sim.

Q. :confused:

Is it possible if I falsed a custom ROM it may open the sim for other carriers?

Please, help if you can
[LG Revolution] Haxcid:
This phone has only been successfully flashed to one other carrier that I am aware of. The SIM card in this is for Verizon's LTE network and not for like a world phone or GSM network. So if you are looking to use this phone on a GSM network I think you are out of luck as this phone only contains CDMA radio hardware.
[LG Revolution] osasa71:
I sea. So no use of unlocking it unless I use 4G LTE

Thanks man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sibdog41:
I have the Note 2 from At&t. I tried to upload the Hawkish extreme rom. All went ok but my mobile network didn't work. So then I tried to reverse it all and go back to what I had running before, Still NO NETWORK. I then tried to go to a different rom the JEDI one. SAME problem. I tried to follow a few threads but didn't know how to download a modem like one suggested. So then I tried to flash back to he beginning and go to stock. That's when things got worse. My phone was AT&T witch is model I317 but when I changed to a new rom the model changed to DT-7105 I think so I used that one. SO now my phone I only a black screen. I cant get into the download or upload modes. If I remove the battery all I get is the Galaxy note logo when your phone first turns on then it does ALLBLACK. SO can someone help me PLEASE.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nunyabiziz:
You know what they said, once it gone black it's not going back. Joking. See you if could make or buy a jtag to get the phone into download mode to try to recover with a stock flash using Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sibdog41:
thanks but what is a jtag an where do I look for one at??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jon3sh:
If you can't get to download mode try goin to recovery mode and flash the Skynote rom with modem for att from the link. You question about jtag it the device you plug in to your phone and it will put your phone to download mode you can easily get them from fleabay.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2093870
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] freakboy13:
Not sure what upload mode is:

Recovery mode: hold vol up, power and home button.

Download mode: hold vol. down, power and home button.

Sometimes people get the two confused and not realise what dl mode is.

Idk what hawkish rom is but if your phone is locked, and your not running a tw rom you may have borked your phone.

You need to get to dl mode somehow.

Hence the jtag suggestion. Check ebay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jon3sh:
Seeing Galaxy Note ll is a good sign its just soft brick and he can still recover it by using jtag to boot it to download mode. Hopefuly he can get the phone to recovery mode to flash other rom.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] MCEITLIN:
Well,

Aside of the comatose battery life that this device has, to which one gets used after a while, now I had something new happening! While whatching the device on a table during a meeting, I was suprised to see it turn on by itself! NO, No alarms, or incomming calls, task reminders or the like. It just went on, and back off after the time set on the battery settings! I checked the settings, soft reset the device, and nothing. It seems to turn on and off every 3 to 5 minutes! This will cause battery life to drain even faster! Does anyone have a clue????

Cheers

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] rnuqui:
Do you have Spb Pocket Plus installed? If so, check the version. I had version 2.0 build 1178 installed and I noticed that my XDA II would just power on by itself every so often. It got to the point that the battery was being drained very fast for the PDA to be useful for a day. I also noticed that an entry is added in the notification database every so often. It has an application name of PlusReminder.exe.

I sent a technical query to Spb and they advised me to download the latest copy of Pocket Plus. I did. I now have version 2.0 build 1184 installed, and now, the notification database problem is gone. Also, even though the device still turns itself on once in a while, it's no longer as bad as before. It's back to being useful again as the battery can now last for a day.

Hope this helps. :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] MCEITLIN:
I checked everything I had installed. Almost no 3rd party software other than Staralliance timetable, and pocket TV. No SBP or any other software mentioned on the threads to be causng any trouble. I then went over every single move I made over the past 3 days trying to remember what I had changed... Tadaaaa!!! I forgot I run spritesoftware's Sprite BackUP, which by the way I highly recommend! I had set the battery monitor to back up automatically when the battery reaches the 30% treshold. Indeed, the momet I UNchecked that option, it stopped!!!! :lol:

Just received a new OTA firmware update today

GC100XXBMD1

Only a small download <30Mb and the only changes stated are the usual generic "Stability Improvements"

I lost root (unsurprisingly) but it was at least upgradable on a rooted stock firmware.

CHANGES:

I noticed that I am no longer being asked to select the memory card in the camera app on a reboot. This was a major annoyance and thankfully gone.

The Google Play Store has been updated

There is a new Smart Mode "Action Freeze" ... I think.... Can anyone confirm if that was already on there? I can't remember seeing it before.

[HTC Sensation] Shree.bhagwat:
Hi

Greeting

Ur soff and that's great

Put the zip file if your Rom into sdcard

Boot into recovery

Make a backup in recovery

Wipe everything except sd card

Install zip from sdcard and select the zip file of Rom which you have in sdcard

Wipe dalvik cache

Reboot your done
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Recovery is like a 'mini rom' that you can boot into to perform installs and such on teh device. You can't make calls with it or anything like that but it gives you access to the Systen directory so you can install a new ROM and various other things like that.

If you are rooted (meaning you've installed SuperUser) you can get the 4EXT app from the Play Store and it will isntall it's recovery for you.

If you're not rooted (if you don't know what SuperUser is, you're not) you will need to install a recovery using your computer

Check out this post...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1870233&highlight=flash+recovery

Skip right to Step 3 since you've already S-Off'ed and unlocked the bootloader. It's a step by step guide as to how to install a recovery module

Once you install the 4EXT recovery go to the Play Store and buy the app that goes with it. It's like $3 and worth every single last penny.

Once you have the recovery modeule installed then you can use the guide by Shrex in the post above mine.

It still won't effect the hardware since LCD Density Changer is a software tweaker that modifys the phones build.prop file to change the lcd density property.

Hello fellow xda companions. I've been dealing with rooted phone's since my first EVO. Switched to the Galaxy SIII. But, I've recently flashed the Hyperdrive rom and when I boot it up, I'm taken to an activation screen. completely by-passing the usual android start up service. activation takes roughly 4 - 10 minutes to go through. My problem is. I am repeatedly getting a message saying that my phone's data service cannot be activated.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tyler.Boston1:
I've got your solution hopefully. It happened to me also. Just when it comes up press the home button and go to task managers and close or setup activation. Next I would go to settings > more settings > mobile network > network mode and change it to GSM/WCDMA/LTE ONLY IF YOUR ATT will this be correct to my knowledge. Then download the LTE 2.0 fix from the forum under android development for the Att s3. Reboot into recovery flash the zip then go back to mobile networks and change your APN to the pre made LTE APN and you should be fine. Make sure you're on GSM/WCDMA/LTE also.
