Sorry my mistake, VOL - plus Power button.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
OK my hboot is 1.25.0002.
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
Good so you have JB hboot/version. Remember always: you have JB hboot.

What does it mean? When you will unlock your bootloader and you have to install a custom recovery/rom you will download only JB version,OK?

Good now go on htcdev.com and unlock it. Follow instructions, are simple.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
Which recovery is better: CWM JB or TWRP JB?
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
TWRP for me is better. Btw did you unlock your bootloader?

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
Yes with the tool.

How can i check that it succeeded?
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
Above hboot 1.25.0002 you find or **LOCKED** or **UNLOCKED**.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
Now how can I back up all my apps and data like games, Contacts, et cetera... ?
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
Yes if you rooted it use Titanium Backup on Play store.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
It is not rooted, It just unlocked Bootloader. I want to back up before I doing recovery/
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
Ehm.. install a custom recovery and from it backup all system if you want.

And if you root phone you will not lose your data.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
"And if you root phone you will not lose your data."

But it is a custom recovery, how it save all my personal data?
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
If you install a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM) will you not lose your data.

If you install a custom ROM, you will lose your data but you need a custom recovery to install a custom ROM.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
Ok I understand now.
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
So, I Unlock Bootloader,

now I need to install a custom recovery based on JB,

back-up my files,

and install the rom you suggested me?

that is all?

and what is: Boot.img_Installer_RC2.0.zip?(it was in the rom-page and suggested to download )

and what is kernel?
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
To backup only your games and contacts, root your phone flashing superuser.zip on hasoon tool package and then download titanium backup from play store and backup :)

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] Uizz.UW:
So just to make things clear for you , I'm gonna point out some essential stuff you need to know :

-Backing up using Titanium Backup (app from play store) will help you restore the apps from the old ROM on the new ROM .

You need to be rooted to use TB , but you won't loose any data by rooting the phone . You just have to install a small zip from recovery .

-Backing up using a custom recovery like CWM / TWRP will help you backup both your current apps and ROM , but you can't restore the old apps on the new ROM from a recovery backup .

-When flashing ROMs on the DX , you also have to manually flash the ROM-speciffic boot.img , because the recovery can't flash it automatically . You can find the boot.img for every ROM on that ROM's forum thread .

So the complete steps I recommend you to take would be to :

What you need to have first :

-Have about 4GB free on your external SD .

-Download the custom rom flashable .zip and boot.img , copy the zip somewhere on your external SD card and keep the boot.img on your PC .

-I'm assuming you already have adb & fastboot on your PC . If not , go on my Dropbox (see my signature) under Tools / ADB + Fastboot and download that folder .

-To flash boot / recovery images , have them in the same folder as adb and fastboot , just so it will be easier .

-Make sure your phone is connected to the PC via USB with USB Debugging on .

-Open a command prompt from the folder you have adb & fastboot in , by holding Shift pressed + right click - Open command window here .

Some useful commands you can do from here :

adb reboot-bootloader <- reboots into fastboot

adb reboot recovery <- reboots into recovery

fastboot flash boot b_image_name.img <- flashes boot.img when the phone is connected in fastboot mode . Example : fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash recovery r_image_name.img <- flashes recovery.img when the phone is connected in fastboot mode . Example : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

After you're done flashing with fastboot , always run the "fastboot erase cache" command .

So the complete procedure for changing a ROM and having full backups would be :

-Install Titanium Backup , backup all user apps .

-Reboot into recovery ,

-Backup everything , EXCEPT emmc and sdcard (internal and external memory)

-Wipe everything , EXCEPT emmc and sdcard (internal and external memory)

-Install the ROM zip

-Reboot to fastboot / bootloader .

-Flash the boot.img via fastboot .

-Reboot to system .

-Now you can restore all your apps by reinstalling Titanium Backup and using a restore option .

If you want to revert to your recovery backup , the procedure is the same , only that you don't install a zip , you choose Restore . Also , you will have to flash the old boot.img . You can find that in the backup folder , under the name boot.emmc.win (TWRP) . So you will have to do "fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win" instead .

Very good writeup. You should post something similar as Guide / Tutorial in General Section so that it is easier to find.
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
I install the custom recovery TWRP last night and all my apps disappeared. I had to download all again from the google play. I install the custom recovery TWRP with the tool.
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:
It's not possible. Maybe you installed a custom Rom or wiped something, but installing a new recovery will not erase your data.

xpirt
[HTC Desire X] 1qasdfghj:
NO, I didn't. I installed a custom recovery with the tool and that's it.

And I have a Q: How the " [ROM][JB] MIUI v5 3.7.5 Unofficial Port [4.1.1][28/07/2013]" looks?
[HTC Desire X] xpirt:

[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
Anyone dislike this camera? I'm considering getting it and selling my asus transformer infinity to pay for it. I already have a galaxy note 2 and getting ready to upgrade to the note 3 when it drops. So my question is, is the camera part of it really worth it?
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giatros:
I have the Transformer Infinity and Note N7000. The camera is far superior to any mobile phone or tablet camera. I was considering the S4 Zoom, but it seemed to be a downgraded version.

To consider:

1) It's big. I thought it would be more like my Sony travel camera, but it's more like a NEX-5 with a pancake lens.

2) It can't make calls - nobody has found a workaround. Hangout and skype works - but remember there is one camera and that's at the front.
[Galaxy Camera Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Digital DJ:
Thanks for the reply. I have already purchased this camera and love it. I don't mind the size of the camera and I know and understand all the cons of the device, but I don't need to make calls from a camera..lol Who would think of that...really..
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soudy1994:
I've got ASUS TF300T on android 4.2 stock and rooted however i don't like its performance.

So the questions is, if i unlocked the bootloader and installed cyanogenmod 10 will it increase the performance? Also will i be able to return back to stock again? and is there a detailed guide for how to unlock the bootloader on android 4.2?

Thanks in advance
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tobdaryl:
I last used cm10 when it was on 4.1 and I felt the performance increase was marginal.

Yes you can go back to stock.

Unlock

No detailed guide I have seen or found to be needed. Download the proper asus unlock app for your bootloader (be sure to thank philos64 while there). Have logged into gmail. Turn on wifi install and run app. If it fails to unlock reboot and try again. Some have had to run over several days and others have never been able to unlock.
[Networking] XDAIan:
Hi all and what a great forum this is being a new XDAIIi user it has help me to get started. The problem I am having is that I want to use the modem over the USB link to my laptop on XP for when I am traveling. I sort of have it working on bluetooth but don't much like bluetooth.

The problem is when I plug in and disable the connection on activesync, I then go to the XDA and wireless modem set this up but the Laptop doesn't find any new hardware. Hence stuck in adding the modem, does any one have any ideas?????????

The other question is can the wireless modem be used over the wireless link as my laptop is wireless set up.

Thanks for you help as I know some one out there knows how to fix this problem.
[Networking] lydiachris:
Hi Ian, could you please post some step by step instructions of how you got your XDAIIi to act like a bluetooth modem, as I too want to use my XDAIIi as a GPRS Modem on my laptop when I am travelling.

I would greatly apprecaite a reply,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dreams_of_Privacy:
My SGS4G is a SGH-M919 & was locked to Tmob. $70 Tmob National Data Service works only in large cities so we switched to H2O. Here I found directions to SIM unlock my SGS4G. Other places had directions to do APN configuration. All was good. H2O provided data thru ATT in places Tmob did not.

Next was switch to Cyanogenmod. With CM10.1 all worked OK, voice, SMS, MMS & data.

A week later phone lost data service, even the icon was gone. Next to go was Google maps. CM10.1 & gapps were installed again but maps & play store were not to be found in phone.

Play Store had changed model # from M919 to T989 but that has been fixed. Without play store, I can't install Titanium Backup or other apps I would use for recovery of phone.

Google has not been my friend in fixing these problems. Help?

why not go to https://play.google.com/store/apps?hl=en from the web, it will send to your phone?

[MENTION=2002228]LordCh[/MENTION]eet03, 3 CM10.1 nightlies did not change problem, Euroskank also did not fix.

Where might I start looking for cause of problems, without running Windiz? Heimdall did not recognize my SGH-M919. If I just get Windiz, install it, load & run Odin and get it all working, then I have learned nothing. Any suggestions where to start learning?

Thanks for any answers, especially after my delayed replies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BlackGURU:
No sweat buddy, Google up market Unlocker Pro, download and BAM. That Easy.

Hit That Thanks BUtton BTW
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dreams_of_Privacy:
OK, I will check that & make notes for next occasion.

Maybe whole problem was bad micro SD card. All is well now, except old 16 GB SD card. Paranoid Android & CM 10.1 last nightly both work with PA gapps. Maybe Play Store failure was due to SD card that could not accept writes? Too bad system did not display error messages last Wednesday when problems started.

I will load Paranoid Android again tomorrow, it seems better than CM. Thanks all!! I am gone to try market Unlocker Pro.

I dropped my phone into the sink earlier today and then got it out. The phone was still working spen and all and then a few hours later the spen stopped working on some apps like Facebook and instagram and then stopped working all together. I have checked my note 10.1 spen and it is not working on my phone either. Any suggestions?I have tried checking other forms about this and none have seem to help.

I have completely took apart the phone and put back on my old cracked lcd and digitizer and the spen still does not work. I don't know what else it could be.?????

Things needed:

A rooted mtk65xx phone

mtk65xx Drivers

MtkDroidTools (latest preferred)

Original Rom

MTK MobileUncle Tools app (PlayStore)

MKT DROID TOOLS link http://dfiles.eu/files/fmnok7ke7

More tools at the end of post..

Hello, in this tutorial I will be showing you all how to make and flash cwm recovery in your mtk65xx phone. I will be using the CUBOT GT99 android. It's an mtk6589 and I got it from geekbuying.com.

All credits go to [MENTION=369893]jimy[/MENTION]moto from http://www.movilesdualsim.com/foro/threads/39602-Recovery-CWM-Cubot-GT99 for his great job.

Visit the forum for more about your Cubot gt99 including custom roms, tweaks, fixes, reviews..e.t.c

REMEMBER THAT FLASHING YOUR PHONE ALWAYS HAS RISKS AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE.

Okay, so first you will need to extract the boot.img from the stock rom of your phone.

Next, connect the phone with USB DEBUGGING ON to your PC. Open MTKDroid tools.

The program will recognize your device and it should list your device details. In case it doesn’t, open the ADB terminal in the program and write "adb devices" without the caps. If PC doesn't recognize any device, then you need to install the mtk drivers.

Open the root, backup, recovery tab and click on "To choose the boot.img file". Leave all the rest as they are. Then click on Recovery and Boot and select the boot.img we got earlier from the phone's Stock Rom.

A prompt will appear and there choose YES. A few seconds later, you will see task complete. Go back to the MTKdroidTools folder and you will see a new folder called recovery. Inside, you have two files. Take the one with the word recovery and place it in the root of your phone’s SD card (not in any folder).

From here on we work with the phone.

Open MobileUncle Tools and go to the Recovery Update. You should see the recovery you placed in your SD card. Select it and click on OK. Finally, choose reboot to Recovery. If all was done correctly, your phone should boot into your new cwm recovery.

You can now backup your stock rom and flash custom roms, patches, kernels and others without fear of bricking!!

I have done this procedure successfully on my Cubot gt99.

After flashing the recovery, I've a inverted recovery screen. What went wrong?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
What do you mean inverted recovery screen? Which phone are you using?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] greeny2010:
The recovery menu appears upside down else everything looking fine. My phone is a copy of I9500 with Ex chip.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viijay4b7:
Thanks for tutorial..

But unfortunately cwm recovery part didn't worked for me... i got the two files, flashed using mobile uncle tools and sp flash tools method...

But i'm booting in stock recovery only..

Is it mandatory to connect the phone... ?? How that differs?

I have extracted stock rom using the tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
yes its important to connect the phone so that the software tests the cwm recovery to see if its compatible with your boot.img...all you have to do is connect the phone and once it turns yellow (the box at the bottom) and lists your phone's details then select your boot.img and continue

3G not working with my Cubot G99

i bought cubot G99

it is excellent and work fine

but i have problem with 3G

frequency of 3G in my country is 2100

i tried many times to turn on 3G but 3G not work at all

can you help me to turn on 3G on my cubot g99?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] superdragonpt:
lol thanks for the TuT

But.......

It's more simple if you :

- download your stock rom:

- Use SPFlashTools to Flash, this is the ORIGINAL tool, and i can assure you its saffer than this tool.

If you damage the bootloader with this tool, your phone is paper weight ...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
you should know that the cubot gt99 is a dual sim and like most chinese dual sim phones...only sim one is able to have 3G while the other sim(sim 2) EDGE. check if you have placed your sim card in the correct slot(slot 1). also check if you have the correct internet settings for your provider.

finally, you can install the application mtk mobile unlce tools from play store and then access engineer mode(MTK) choose Telephony and then BandMode..here you can check to see what bands are supported by the cubot gt99 under sim1 and sim2...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] viijay4b7:
Ahhh. .It worked on my Micromax A116.:good::good::good:.

Have to check on Auxus Nuclea N1..

But how to get the latest version of CWM??

I got CWM v5.5.0.4..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
good to hear that....i also have v5.5.0.4 i think that a mtk droid tools may be updated later on but for now it is still patching it to v5.5.0.4
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drn508:
yes there are dual sim

first one W+G and second one only GSM

I put my sim inside W+G slot

SIM 1

SIM 2

http://im37.gulfup.com/Sgn5B.png
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
okay so according to your pics..your sim card is placed in the SIM 2 slot..try putting it IN THE OTHER SLOT...according to mine, when network bars are blue( SIM 2) - EDGE and when network bars are green ( SIM1) - 3G/HSPDA
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drn508:
see this pic

http://www.cubot.net/UploadFile/ImgInfo/20136131723335827378.jpg

i put my sim at left slot W+G

i tried before to change sim position but no different for color of network bars always blue

i can change color of network bar manually to green,orange and blue
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
okay...check your network mode..maybe its on 2G instead on 3G should be here...Wireless and Networks> Mobile Networks> 3G service> choose Network Mode and tick WCDMA only

also what is written under Mobile Network Type in SIM status? Settings> About phone >SIM status

i don't know where is the problem ?:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
am not sure there is a problem...from the pics, your network is defintely on 3G..the network type is HSPA which is 3G+....are you able to browse on EDGE with your current settings?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drn508:
i can't browse on EDGE only on WIFI

i had before Cubot GT99 Sony Ericsson Neo was worked with 3G without any problems. :confused:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Mbariah:
then it is simple...you dont have your internet settings which are provided by your service provider...You can check to see if you have them under Mobile Networks >> Access Point Names>>here...Did you find anything here? if not, contact your service provider to send you the settings or you can input them yourself if you know them...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] drn508:
you are right

i contact my service provider to send my internet settings

and now everything is working:good:

I would advise to take it a step further and unlock your bootloader and install CWM... then install one of the latest JB Roms (they all run great), I personally have a few JB Roms in the forum if you are interested but you can also go for CM10.1 (mustaavalkosta) and JellyTime (randomblame) or Paranoid... etc. The choice is yours...

Hi, I failed to upgrade my 2.3.6 to ICS using fastboot and now the device is off and whenever I press the power button and the up/down keys simultaneously it shows the Motorola logo (DualCore) and then turnes off.

I did some research and found out that what probably happened is that I didn't have enough space because I forgot to do a factory reset...

So my question is how I go back? Is there a way I can format my device or try to install ics again without turning the phone on? (cuz I can't...)
