Nothing happened. Problem persists.

OK, I've formatted the storage, no important files were lost. Still, there's another issue. I have made backup of most important apps using Sony's Backup & Restore from the phone on an USB drive but, when on JB, the phone doesn't recognize the password of the backup. Is there a way to by-pass that check?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ben Ling:
so now you on ICS?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cipri92:
JB. Flashed ICS, rooted and updated OTA to JB. Now I'm on rooted JB.

Hey everyone, I'm new to android game, I've been cracking iPhones since 1st gen, decided to challenge myself. I have an S4, rooted, but no CWM installed. I want to save the recovery so if any issues ever occur, I can just flash it and have it covered under warranty, and also to be ble to return to stock wen I sell the phone.

Is there a tool i can use to make a nandroid backup? On my Nexus 7, There is an all-in-one tool and I can make a nandroid straight from my PC. Is there anything similar for the s4? If not, how to I make a nandroid backup? thank you everyone for your help, I appreciate it

Odin back to stock if you ever need to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
I'm not entirely sure it's possible to do a nandroid backup without first having a custom recovery. However, it is "always" possible to use the Odin method to return to stock (including stock recovery). Personally, I installed TWRP and immediately did a full nandroid (including system, boot, cache, etc...) and I've frequently found myself restoring pieces of it as I manage to screw up different things. I did return my recovery back to stock once by using the "dd" method to flash the stock recovery.img onto the correct emmc block. There's instructions how to do this exactly on the TWRP homepage (make sure you get the correct phone - block numbers are different for different devices) - but instead of re-flashing TWRP, I pulled the recovery.img from the giant Odin image available here on XDA.

It may also be possible to use "dd" to pull a copy of your existing recovery image as well, but I've never tried it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DuMKaSD:
Thank you! I'll be installing TWRP today, what is Odin if I can ask? I've never heard of any of it from Nexus 7.

Also, If i do a titanium backup, can I easily restore apps with setting and save games while I'm running CM10.1?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You better find out what odin is because it's the only way you'll be installing twrp. And don't count on tibu restoring all your apps seamlessly. Never reinstall system apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DuMKaSD:
I installed TWRP through GooManager. I looked up ODIN and got general info, hopefully I won't get stuck, but I'm sure I'll find my way around. Thank you so much for your help! I figured that sys apps will just be for stock, but i have a MC4 save that i don't want to lose ::cyclops: it looks like it's CM10.1 time for me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
Here's the thread that explains how to return to stock using Odin. Be prepared for a large download.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2261573

In short, "Odin Mode" is the download mode that's built-in to just about every modern Samsung device, beginning as far back as the Captivate, afaik. Each device has a button combination to enter "download mode" or "odin mode". This special mode sometimes requires specific drivers to connect to your PC. Flashing stock firmware using this method is common, but with an unlocked bootloader, it could be used to flash about anything. It's like a secondary recovery in a sense. It's harder to destroy download mode, but still possible if you mess up the bootloader somehow.

For our device the easiest methods to get to download mode are:

- Hold down the power button until the device force-resets itself. The moment the device turns black, release the power button and begin holding down the Vol-Down button. The device with vibrate once as usual, but then you'll see a screen that you've never seen before (begins with "Warning!!").

- Using any shell, such as ADB Shell or a terminal emulator, give the command "reboot download". This may require root privileges, I'm not sure.

- There's apps for this - haven't tried them yet.

As for Titanium backup - I love this program and have purchased Pro (totally worth it). As others have said, it's a bad idea to backup/restore System apps. Only do so with extreme caution. It is possible to restore only the data from system apps, but again do so with caution.

While Google does its own job at re-installing apps after a factory reset (if you allow it to), it usually doesn't backup data for each app. I have a couple authenticator apps that I backup this way, and it works great for this. I've also managed to keep my copy of Angry Birds Samsung Edition from my Infuse. Other applications that have since disappeared from Google Play are still backed up and get migrated to each new device I purchase.

And for that matter, with almost every User application, you can easily back it up (with data) and restore it on a completely different ROM. When changing major android versions, you sometimes will find apps force-closing on you, requiring that you wipe their data... but I haven't had that problem in a long time.

You'll see some other things that you can backup, like SMS, Access Points, Bluetooth Pairings, etc. .... I recommend only restoring these with caution - especially cross-ROM or cross-device.

Okay, I'm done being long-winded. Good luck, have fun. :)

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note II model SGH-I317M from Bell and i want to root it ONLY.

I DON'T want to install stock android or any other ROMs or MODs for now. I just want to root it so I can use some specific apps that requires root access and still want to keep TouchWiz.

So can someone please explain to me how you do it and give me the link. I also want to know if that will avoid my warranty and will I still get updates from Samsung and Bell. And if I will get updates, do I need to root my phone again after the update. Is it also possible to brick my phone during this process? And is bricking reversible?

Thank you so much in advance :)

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] compnird:
So I've been globetrotting with my Incredible 4G/aka Fireball with CM10.1 (currently the unofficial 20130420 build by mdmower) for about 6 months now and it works great on VZW's global plan, Used it all over Europe and across US / Canada using Verizon's plan. Feel free to ask any questions below if you are curious about my experiences with that. I can't promise a speedy response but will do my best to answer.

The point of this post is actually to see if anyone wants me to try any specific services or networks while I am in Europe later this month. I see a number of posts asking if it will work in -insert country here- or on -insert service provider here- so if you want a guinea pig, here I am.

I was thinking of buying a pre-paid SIM or 3 and basically try different services and setups for kicks and giggles. I am flying into Amsterdam and will end up in Belgium and Germany at different points in my trip and this summer have projects in Asia and Scandinavia.

I'll either grab cards off of Amazon before I go or when I land hit up a kiosk or vending machine.

Not sure if this is of any use to anyone but since I'm already going to satisfy my own curiosity I'd offer my results to the community.

Now everyone stand back.... I'm about to SCIENCE! :laugh:
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] j13smiley:
i'm heading to italy this summer and wondering what it will take to make this phone work. this is my first 4g phone with a sim card...

my previous verizon phones have always worked around america (mexico, dominican republic, etc). when i went to asia last year (japan, thailand) i only used wifi for email and data - the roaming worked but was outrageous price.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] idovgart:
I'm using this phone in Ukraine with no issues. I have Ukranian GSM service provider and another one for CDMA. No LTE in Ukraine.

The only tip, that this phone doesn't support my GSM provider's Mobile Internet. Never the less, it does support it on other Ukranian GSM providers.

When I was in German, I bought myself German prepaid sim-card and sucsessfully switched to its network
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] compnird:
That's kind of my thought on the matter too, how easy is it to switch carriers on a device which is normally carrier locked. I see there are some configurations needed for the CM10.1 to work on a different carrier and want to try and see how it works. I will be giving that a whirl and see.

I noticed that last time I was in Belgium I had very spotty coverage with VZW and very slow data while nobody else had any problems getting decent speeds, but in Netherlands I usually had same or better signal than locals and mostly full 3G signal in main train routes and larger downtown areas like Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Eindhoven. Germany was about the same but I wasn't paying much attention to my phone while briefly passing through.

VZW lists the radios as:

Network

LTE 700 MHz (band 13)

CDMA 1x/3G 800/1900 MHz

UMTS/HSPA 2100/900

Quad Band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900)

With this gamut I would think it can attach to any network for voice and data with the right settings. I also plan on paying closer attention to what kind of signals I am attaching to and speeds, etc.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] compnird:
After spending a week abroad I found that if you are just visiting using the Global Plan through Verizon is by FAR the best solution.

First, a "Local" SIM card runs about 10 Euro from most providers, T-Mobile (NL) and KPN were the ones I selected. Vodafone is in partnership with VZW for service in Netherlands so I skipped them assuming same coverage. With the 10 Euro you get varying minimal amounts of voice minutes for local calls... assume it's JUST a SIM though, you pay extra for minutes, texts and data.

The Pre-Paid SIMs I had access to do not offer roaming. I was told you need a plan for roaming. When I went into Germany or Belgium I lost service.

Data plans on pre-paid plans for a smartphone are about 25-30 euro for 100mb.

It's only $25 per 100mb chunk through VZW.

Texting plans range from 5 Euro and up. I didn't get one, didn't need it since I use WhatsApp and Viber for that.

Coverage and data speed would the ONLY reason I would go with a pre-paid SIM again. T-Mobile had exceptionally fast data and amazing coverage while I was in the NL. KPN was comparable to Vodafone (thought my VZW global plan).

Switching to other providers was difficult and cumbersome and CM10.1 does NOT handle global roaming very well. Can't just jam a SIM in and it works (See MDMower's Unofficial CM post for settings) Once the settings were made I made a TWRP backup to make switching possible without a PC.

CM 10 and 10.1 did not show a signal bar even when I had signal so it was VERY difficult to ascertain signal strength and relied on just speed and what I perceived of signal strength.

Stock Rooted works great for Global Roaming but did not like SIM cards from other providers.

Recap; If you plan on visiting a country outside of USA and use this phone (or any Global phone really) then it's best to add in a global plan at $25-30 a month and the $25 100mb package. A SIM will cost you about that or more and doesn't allow you to use your same phone number or roam into other countries without added expense.

It's best to stick with Stock Rooted on that plan. IF you plan on using a local SIM for data speeds and you are staying in one major city/area for the duration then it will work alright but make backups of different configurations before you do the switch... Plan on spending an hour or two getting your phone configured and setup with the right settings and my signal bar never worked in CM, even if you have full signal.

From now on I will use only VZW plan on Stock Rooted. It's the best way to have a reliable phone when travelling abroad.

IF YOU ARE HAVING A LAG, try this, it cured my lag and also stopped com.android.phone boot errors.

1. Do a nandroid backup

2. (optional) Clear your cache. You can do this from Recovery or there are nice apps that will let you do it from Android (I use Elixir 2).

3. Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, click the All tab.

4. For the following applications, click the application, click Force Stop, the click Clear Data. You should also click Clear Cache if it is not greyed out:

- Account and Sync Settings

- Dialer

- Dialer Storage

- Google Calender Sync

- Google Contacts Sync

- Google Services Framework (this one is important)

- Google Services Framework (yes, do it twice)

5. Turn your phone off, then on (do not reboot)

Clearing Data clears application settings for that app particular to your phone. If you have flashed lots of kernels and ROMs, the Data may contain unused or incorrect information. Cache is merely "scratchpad" information, temporary data related to the app's processing.

Let me know if this cures your lag. It worked great for me - no more crashes and phone is snappier. But I don't know if my phone had a particular issue or if this is good for all Android phones. Give it a try and let me know if it makes a difference!

Tu decompresses la rom dans un dossier, tu dois mettre un des fichiers à la poubelle, puis y glisser les 2 fichiers que tu trouve sur se site, tu lancde l'exe (install5 je crois) et il fait le boulot tout seul.

Ensuite tu lances l'instalation et normalement ça fonctionne bien.

-le nom du .bat à virer

- les deux fichiers à glisser ds le dossier

rom FR

Salut les francais

Je possède un qtek 9090 avec la rom d'origine.

J'ai apparemment comme tout le monde des problèmes avec les casques bluetooth. Les ayant tous assayer, je peux dire qu'aucun ne marche correctement. Enfin, j'appelle correctement le fait de pouvoir porter à la ceinture le PDA et pouvoir parler sans scrassssssssssssss dans le casque.

En effet, la plupart des casques fonctionnent lorsque l'on

se tient juste devant le pda ou pas loin et que l'on ne tourne pas la tête an cachant l'oreillette.

Mais dès que l'on s'éloigne ou qu'on l'utilise à la ceinture, c'est le désastre.

J'ai comme tout le monde besoin de la rom en francais si quelqun en dispose déjà : merci de la poster :)

Mais je voudrai au moins savoir si la mise à jour de la rom US règle les problèmes de casques bluetooth car j'ai essayé tous les patches dispo sur le net (pda2k, IMATE, QTEK etc.....) dans toutes les versions et auncun ne résoud ce problèmes qui est pour moi le principale.

Sinon, ce PDA c'est de la balle

Merci pour vos réponses

il est 18h ici en france et j'attends toujours qu'ils me passent un coup de fil pour me donner la réponse, Autant dire qu'il va falloir que je les recontacte demain moi même, mais avec la planning qui m'attent pour les 2 jours a venir je ne pense pas que je ne pourrai passer un temps infini au bigophone.
