Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my cwm from 6.0.1.2 non touch to 6.0.2.3 touch with Odin and when doing a backup it takes a really long time and eventually fails about halfway through backing up /data. I thought maybe the recovery got corrupt or something so I used rom manager to upgrade to 6.0.3.1 non touch and tried again. This time it took longer to backup /system and while backing up data the phone rebooted. I've been running CM10.1 nightlies for quite some time now and kt kernel with no issues, and I always backup before flashing but I need to fix this before i flash anymore nightlies. Anyone else have this issue before? I've been wanting to clean wipe/install my phone for a while now but I just don't have the time right now.

My phone is a d2can on Bell. I know that's relatively irrelevant information but doesn't hurt to mention.

Also I installed the same 6.0.2.3 touch on a GS3 that I just got for my girlfriend and it backs up fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lessaj:
Also apparently in attempting these backups it somehow messed up some of my settings. I had a sign in error for gmail which went away as soon as I hit sync now in the Google account, although I had to sign back in to Facebook. It also changed a bunch of my sound settings... Imagine my surprise as I get a Whatsapp message and an Opeth song starts blaring (and also doesn't stop upon checking the message...) lol.

I back up my apps and settings with Titanium Backup so I can easily restore everything when I have a chance to do a clean wipe and install, but how do I fully wipe/reinstall the recovery to fix this backup issue? Maybe I just have to hit the factory reset button in the recovery?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FIESTY2:
I would download Goo Manager and flash TWRP, forget CWM. If you hit factory reset then you are going to have to go through the clean install process. If I were you I'd flash TWRP and then clean install whatever your into. It'll take maybe 30 minutes to get the rom setup the way you want it and you'll have the piece of mint that everything was cleanly wiped and you have a fresh start.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lessaj:
I guess I can try TWRP. I don't really get why everyone rags on CWM, it works just fine. I was using 6.0.1.2 for about 7 months without a hitch, this is the first problem.

If I did a clean wipe I'd still backup my pictures and my apps from TiBu and restore everything after wiping, it would just take a while. I don't have an external SD so it's all on the internal. I might have some time tonight to try it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] FIESTY2:
I would copy your pictures (or any other irreplaceable files) to a computer for safe keeping just in case it hits the fan. Apps are whatever, but you can't retake pictures so I'd back them up somehow; computer, dropbox, etc.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Icon000:
Same Issues on a SG3

I also recently upgraded and have been having the same issues. It doesn't seem to matter whether I enter recovery through or use Rom Manager to enter into in recovery. Each time the back up fails. I had just switch back after having TWRP issues where it back up would not fail but when they were to be use in recovery I would get a message before restarting stating I didn't actually back up the OS. ( I realize it might not be reliant info but I've learn a little to much is better than not at all)

I've noticed it will fail and restart only when I try to back up to my SD card. Yesterday it was giving me trouble by mounting and unmounting repeatedly. I thought I had fixed all the problems after I did a diskcheck and had my computer scan and fix all found errors.

If anyone can link me to a previous version of CWM or help with this back up issue you'll have the OP's and my appreciation.

Thanks in advance.

Are you backing up to an SD card or the phone it's self?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lessaj:
I'm backing up to the phone itself, I do not have an SD card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] post-mortem:
So was your problem fixed by switching to TWRP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Icon000:
I know when I had tried using TWRP, the issue I was having after back ups, was it would ask me if I was sure I wanted to leave since it said I didn;t install a OS.

Does that help you to find a solution?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Lessaj:
Yes.

Hello,

Out of the box / no mods..

Using LTE/4G Sim card..

I only have these options:

Settings > Mobile data > Network mode >

WCDMA only

There's no LTE option in my phone :( :( :(

Any ideas?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndo10116222:
model number is HTC One 801e

access point names:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
APN doesn't have anything to do with the availability of LTE in your phone. It's the phone itself.

Some HTC One variants don't have any LTE radios in their unit hence you can't see any LTE options.

And by the way 801e variant don't have LTE... 801n is the one with LTE.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a box of kittens:
Thanks for the info...learn new things everyday..but if the lte apn for some reason wasn't selected then they wouldn't get lte connection right? Idk..you know more then me so I'll go with what you say master!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riyal:
APN is just a configuration for your phone to be able to connect to your network's internet gateway hence it's called Access Point Name :) While network mode is an option you can set to your phone to tell which radios it will activate.

Activating the LTE radio on your phone enables the phone to accept LTE signals but APN is also required.

you could consider the APN as a pass or invitation in real life situation whereas you are not allowed to enter/access without an invitation.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndo10116222:
Is there a way for me to have an LTE signal?

I contacted the seller, and they're insisting that they sold me an LTE capable unit.

I asked for a replacement unit that's LTE capable, but they might just force this one..
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarylandCookie:
To check:

Go to the dialer and enter;

*#*#4636#*#*

Click on Phone Information

Scroll down to Set preferred network type and check if LTE is an option
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jndo10116222:
I tried this:

Set preferred network type: GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto

But going back to Settings > Mobile data / Mobile Network Settings > Network Mode

LTE still not in the options list
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarylandCookie:
Dont think you can force the option from here without the correct APN settings and a valid network supporting LTE.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spart_an:
There are two models in HTC One.

First one is HTC One 801e which is only 3g compatible and is exclusive to Taiwan and the other one is HTC One 801s which is 4g compatible which is for rest of the world.

First you check your CID.If your CID is HTC_621 then your phone is only 3g compatible.

To check your CID download (Cid getter) from play store.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JoshRose007:
Hello peeps from XDA...

As it's obvious this is a Skyrocket S2, it's not mine it's from a friend....

My friend had ICS and rooted his phone in that version, it's his first time having an android ( he moved from apple ) and it seamed like samsung released JB for his phone ( he had the stock rom ) and he updated, after the update his phone would reboot and stay vibrating...but the problemed seamed to stop.

today he got a txt and his phone rebooted showed samsung logo and then rebooted again and stayed on vibrating every 2 seconds...

i have a factory cable on hand but it doesn't get the device on download mode it only vibrates every 2 seconds and it doesn't turn on the screen, it does the same with the battery placed on the device...

when the battery is placed without the factory cable, it load the first samsung logo, then the second ( samsung logo shinning) and reboots to start vibrating every 2 damn seconds ( it's very annoying ) also i think that apart from vibrating it makes a sound too...

it's not a sticky power button, i removed the back of the housing and connected the phone and the problem persisted.

i'm not very sure what it has, after the JB update and the first problem i showed him how to place the device in recovery mode and the device was able to enter to recovery mode but today after that txt ( whatsapp ) it's dead :/...no idea how his device got like this ? maybe after the update ?

so, can anybody tell me what can i do if i can't get to the download mode and neither the recovery mode, i'm thinking about buying a USB Jig for it since my factory cable is for a kindle fire, but i test it on a samsung galaxy Xcover and it was able to put the device on download mode i'm not sure if the config is not working for this one...

any help is welcomed and thank you all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Stuck power button. Jig won't do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ctalcant:
Pulling the back cover off and powering the phone doesn't rule out a sticky power button, which it still sounds like is the issue.

From the stickies:

31) Q. will a usb jig unbrick my skyrocket

A. no, only jtag repair will fix a hardbricked phone that has no signs of life, look HERE in the info section for a company

no signs of life(nsol)=hardbricked

32) Q. why does my phone not start and just bootloops and/or vibrates every couple of seconds

A. could be a "sticky power button", read the next question and the info section in the 1Stop Sticky

33) Q. how do i test for a stuck "sticky" power button

A. TEST: NO CABLE PLUGGED IN: Remove then reinsert the battery and if the phone turns on by itself and then takes approx 10 sec's to turn off and then starts vibrating every couple of seconds then its for sure a power button problem, its stuck, goto the link in the previous answer for a possible fix.

The key thing you need to establish is if reinserting the battery restarts the phone w/out u touching the power button, if so then the button is stuck

34) Q. how do I replace the power button

A. If you have determined that's its a stuck power button read post #16 PROCEDURE ON REPLACING POWER BUTTON, on that thread there are pictures b4 that post
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JoshRose007:
I'm able to do clicks with the power button it's not stucked, it just keep on doing the same thing. and comment 16 doesn't talk about replacing the power button
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yes, it's stuck. You'll eventually figure that out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Commodore 64:
Listen to xcrazydx because he's right.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrKickstand:
Ok, i've just got my HTC One X back from repair from HTC and kinda figured the SIM would be relocked. But there are some anomalys that are currently going on that i kinda need help figuring out. The first is that the IMEI from the phones info are, *#06#, and back ID Sticker is completely different from the box. My phone still has the small scuffs from when i sent it in so it cant be a new device. But the second and most important problem im having is the site ive always used to get my SIM Unlocks cant even find the IMEI Unlock code... any suggestions..?

In my opinion, how could would it be if i could seamlessly integrate my android phone on my ubuntu laptop. I could swype and drop files, stream music, edit files, all from my phone. Also ubuntu would read my contacts and messages. I could reply to texts from my laptop, even see pictures or other mms.

I am unlocked, s-off and currently on hboot 1.5 and no matter what i try i cant get any jb rom to boot. Ive tried hboot 1.4 as well as 1.04 with no luck. I am currently running a ICS rom and im not sure if it helps but my radio version is 0.97.10

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] THC Butterz:
you definently need to be off of the 1.5x.xxx hboots, use 1.04 or 1.40 thats a guarentee, also try using a diferent JB rom or diferent recovery or both, and always do a full system, boot, data, and cache wipe before any rom install. my recomendations are hboot 1.04 extended and 4ext recovery.

worst case senario run a ruu from shiped roms .com then re flash the hboot and recovery and try again
[HTC EVO 3D] majorlymondo:
I cant seem to find the 1.04 hboot any were, would you happen to have a link?- found it nevermind
[HTC EVO 3D] Brian706:
FWIW 1.50 is fine. Many people use it including myself. Running pac rom.

1.57 and 1.58 however are not compatible.
[HTC EVO 3D] majorlymondo:
So I figured I would post how I fixed this since Ive yet to see this fix in the forum. I tried flashing different RUUs and just about everything else under the sun and kept boot looping. So as a last ditch effort I just took out my sd card and everything worked fine. So I decided to format it through another phone on windows and everything works great now. I havent tried flashing another JB rom yet but I assume that this was the original problem

bricked my phone

So I am pretty new to the community and have only rooted my phone for use of ARliberator. I recently took the MD3 OTA and the signal was crap, now I get the new update this am MF3 and it bricked my phone with the message "system software not authorized by vzw take to store" blah blah. I tried this using voodoo root keeper with out un-rooting first.

Guessing my only option is to flash back in odin mode or is there some recovery that I can try? I have everything backed up with titanium pro. how would I reload all of that after I flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
How small ? The previous update that they pulled was just under 130mb as I recall. This one should be very close to the same size unless it's a firmware update only and the "premium suite" will come later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
ODIN back to stock OEM , then take all the updates before rooting again. Make a full backup in recovery before using Titanium Backup to restore. Restoring Apps + data with TB can cause issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrama12:
So after trying about 5 times my phone booted back up and is working. The update did not go through but my phone is working as it was before. I dont know why the recovery wouldnt boot at first unless it was the update blocking it for a few minutes.

Might have made the rookie mistake since I didnt do the temp un-root with voodoo, but I was trying to be innovative and see if it worked with out it like it did with the MD3 OTA.

Thanks for everyones help on here, teaching a noob like me new tricks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rsswga:
just updated and kept root...data is appears fixed, thank god
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrama12:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidqwik:
I tried just temp unrooting with voodokeeper, downloading and installing the update, and it worked and the phone loaded up phone and I was able to turn root back on with Voodkeeper no problem. I have two S3s, one is a mistake I made in getting a phone for a now ex that was supposed to pay their share of the bill, etc and didn't and I took the phone back. That's the one I experiment stuff with and tried it there with no problems. I'm afraid to do it without ODINing etc though on the phone I always use. The ex's phone never seems to have any problems with updates and re-rooting though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdrama12:
something stSettem

Glad to hear that method worked for you. I just tried it again and I get to right after it shuts off and get past the Samsung screen with RECOVERY in the top left in blue, to the yellow triangle saying "you have unauthorized VZW software...turn off device and take to store..." with SECURE:KERNEL in red in the top left...i think thats what it says.

Guessing flash method is all that will work for me, owell.

Thanks again.

Having more trouble with this new update than md3. I am stock non rooted and updated to md3 then now to the latest one. It seems like my mobile data doesn't want to stay on. It'll pick up 4G then the symbol disappears and then kicks me back to 3G. I knew I shouldn't had accepted the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Not sure why anyone would be running Verizon's stock stuff , which I would consider a big step backwards from many of the custom ROMs here.

Because he/she isn't rooted and may have no interest in rooting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] asaetern:
It's funny all my previous phones and devices like my ipod, psp, ps3 I've rooted and jailbroke, but I got tired of messing around with all that. I just wanted a phone that works for what I needed it to do and it did until the md3 update.

I've been busy lately, but I'm going to spend some time now and root the s3 and go back to the previous version. Here I thought not rooting would give me less of a headache and less problems to deal with since I was getting official updates.

If you like being at the mercy if verizon, ok, but I don;t trust them . They don;t know how to roll out a reliable update and I've had their phones for 8 years now because that;'s what corporate buys. If you have no interests in custom or rooting, what the heck are you doing on XDA?
