[General Questions and Answers] slickk:
Hi all, been lurking for a while (mostly in the SGS3 Verizon forums though to keep updated on ROMs) and I'm not proud of this being my first post but I have a quick question that I couldn't find a definitive answer to. I got a replacement S3 in the mail today from Verizon as I had problems charging my old phone. Before switching over, I ran a normal batch backup in TiBu and then unrooted/factory reset my old phone so I could send it back tomorrow under warranty. I then rooted my replacement and after installing Titanium Backup again, went to restore all my apps. However, none were to be found.

I'm assuming this is because the backups were made in the internal storage of my old phone and not in the extSD card where I automatically assumed they were. So my question is, is there any way I can retrieve these backups now to restore all my apps/messages/etc. or are they lost forever? For now I'm going with I got screwed and I'm gonna have to reinstall everything the old-fashioned way and deal with the lost SMSs. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you and I truly am sorry if this was posted before or is in the wrong section (mods, feel free to move it if it is). The closest things I found were guides for using TiBu that suggested exporting the backups to the extSD card before switching phones which is why I feel like I'm in trouble.

tl;dr: Got a replacement phone, didn't export TiBu backups to extSD card, unrooted old phone. Is there any way I can get my backups back?
[Windows Phone 8x by HTC] btruax:
I came across an HTC 8X at my work, and it's stuck in demo mode. I've tried to boot the phone, and one of two things happen. I either get a exclamation point and then the phone reboots or I get a menu with the IMEI, SN number etc. I've tried to wipe the phone from settings and the only thing I am able to do is "update demo phone". There is a application stock on the phone called Microsoft Retail Mode which requires an RAC code. It also gives me the option of an admin password. I am unsure as to where to get these codes/how else to get this thing out of demo. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

(I'm unable to flash the ROM as well)

Can anyone tell me whether we also can expand our storage to 11.5 gb like that of butterfly? Is there a solution to storage constraint. Any one gb or more extra space will be a lot of help.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] infamous916:
ok lets start from the beginning,

flashed beanstalk, decided i liked vanilla rootbox better, i kept getting a error when trying to flash vanilla, used odin to unroot and flash back to stock (cell was functional at that time)

SOC failed (kept saying not responding) so i figured i had to flash a pre-rooted stock version had red CWM, then i flashed latest build of vanilla, when it booted, i noticed i had no connectivity, decided to try and flash avatarROM 6.5 that failed, so i restored from a backup i had of it, once it booted still no connectivity, decided to try and flash a modem to see if that was the issue, booted, and still nothing, my final hope was to go all the way back to the beginning to step 3 and flash a pre-rooted stock, guess what......now i have network......wtf! it looks like im stuck on 2.2.1 until i can get some help, anything at all is helpful yesterday my phone was perfectly fine now im stuck in this hell called froyo lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jkakkanad:
Sounds like you lost your IMEI while working your way back up to Rootbox. In case you didn't know about it, check out andros11's guide to flashing JB. Follow it closely and you'll be up and running in no time.

--------- More info ----------

Beanstalk uses a new partition scheme. So you can't flash from Beanstalk to Avatar (or Rootbox) without going back to stock first and then working your way back up. At least until those ROMs are updated to the new partitions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] infamous916:
Thank you. I talked to andros And he said the same thing looks like i jumped the gun on things lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] infamous916:
Fixed and solution

for anyone that finds heimdall confusing or wont work and can only use odin all you gotta do is....(this is what i used to get from froyo to JB)

follow these in the order that the links are shown

STEP 1: i lost the link to the rooted stock for froyo but you should be able to find one easily

heres the link for GB rooted stock http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1613523

install the rooted stock via odin method and follow ALL instructions (READ THE WHOLE PAGE!)

ONCE YOU GET TO THIS POINT DEPENDING ON THE STOCK ROM YOU HAVE EITHER FROYO OR GB

IF YOU HAVE FROYO COMPLETE STEP TWO IF YOU HAVE GB AND A RED CWM SKIP TO STEP 4

STEP 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozNVeGPUlU8 -custom recovery to get green 2.x CWM

STEP 3: http://xdaforums.com/show...6&highlight=gb this is the gingerbread rom i used in my process to get to JB (DO NOT JUMP THE GUN READ THIS.......OPEN UP THE NEXT LINK AS WELL AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS THEY APPLY FOR THIS AS WELL IT IS A MUST IF YOU WANT THIS TO WORK) supplemental video to help with instructions http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndC39t1AE-k

STEP 4: http://xdaforums.com/show...&highlight=ics follow instructions again same as step 4

STEP 5: provided is the rom for ics i used (beware has new partion and cannot flash other roms such as avatarROM afterwards refer to location at bottom marked **1**) you can use any JB rom that you would like this just happens to be the one i used http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2059535 once you get to ics you should have gotten the blue CWM and then just follow the instructions here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1878458

you should now be JB while retaining your IMEI

**1** please refer to this as there are new partions and not all roms use the different ones refer to this before you flash ANY new JB roms

Okkay, so I have taken phones apart before and never had any trouble.. but theres always something that can go wrong.

My dumbass went to the beach with my Note 2, and got sand in the audio jack port, and i cleaned it out as good as i could and well i still couldnt listen with headphones. So i decided finally to take the back off and get a better look. There was indeed sand still in the audio port and i gently got it out.

but of course i accidently tore the power flex cable /button ribbon on my way of taking the phone apart. so, i ordered a replacement flex cable. replaced it, and yay the phone does not still power on. this is the type of cable that doesnt need soldering, its just a plug in/push type.

so, the phone does NOT power on at all..

the screen DEF does NOT have damage to it, .. considering everything was perfect before my dumbass decided to take the back off the phone.....nothing else is damaged i went to extremes to take the board off even to make sure, everything is fine!

so, other than the power cable/button, what could be causing the phone not to power on at all now?:eek:

Both Ambient and Weather Station are not reliable for temperature, because the sensor is in the phone, and the phone heats up with any activity or while charging.
