Can you get back to recovery to flash a new ROM?

I have flashed many ROMS recently to try them out and also had a similar issue with one or two of them.

On my Note 2 I hold power, home and volume up to cycle power and get back to recovery and simply flash a new ROM, presto...

[General Questions and Answers] zasy99:
Not sure what is going on but here is how I flash a ROM from recovery and so far so good.

Copy rom file to external sd card in phone.

Do a full factory wipe, cache and dalvik.

Install rom.

Install Gapps if necessary or desired.

Wipe cache and dalvik again.

Reboot

Note that some roms will give you a recommended list of what to wipe if doing a new install or upgrade of that rom, if such instructions exist its best to follow those instead but the above has worked for me for a while now.
[General Questions and Answers] lyrois:
That's what is advised to do before flashing a completely different ROM anyway by some. From recovery, flash the ROM again, and if the ROM is not corrupted (check md5 or whatever comes with it), you should be good to go.
[General Questions and Answers] cannondaleV2000:
Just reflash the ROM. And Google before posting a question next time please

Hi Guys !

I've been going through this forum since I got my XDA2i a couple of months ago. I have the following config :

ROM 1.10.00WWE

ROM Date 12/24/2004

Radio Version 1.00.00

Protocol Version 1337.39

ExtROM Version 1.10.124 WWE

Model No PH10C

I wanted to know if there is a possibility of better versions of these, even if they are of other models/manufacturers, to be put together on 1 XDA2i and make it work like one helluva machine ?

Can you recommend / attach the files to this question and tell me a little more about it as I am a non techie !

cheers

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Prattz:
Guys,

Thanks for the inputs, the reason I have put the question up is that I have seen people having higher versions of the various stuff. They've got ROm from somewhere and Radio stack from somewhere else etc.

1. I wanted to use your expertise in creating an all powerful tool.

2. Add Blackberry functionality as was advertised earlier by O2, what

a let down now that they've removed all mentions of the blackberry.

Would really appreciate help in this regard.

cheers

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danny-B-:
There are two upgrades i know of ... one is the new I-mate upgrade, which came before the O2 one and has a newer Radio version .

BUT

the newest upgrade is the O2 upgrade, even though it doesnt have an upgraded radio.

A solution is to use the Rom "pug" posted, which uses the O2 upgrade but also includes the i-mate radio version.

You get the latest, and best of each so .... heres the link ... ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-develop...ified XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162 Radio_1.3.rar

I suggest you read through this 3 page thread first though as it will give you all the advice you need.

Hello Everyone,

My sister has samsung galaxy s3 i747M canadian version, and it just fell from a plight of stairs with complete shattered screen, with no display(as the digitizer was damaged), but i hear facebook and whatsapp notifications plus booting sounds etc. My only concern is that how to recover the internal sdcard data(or pull). As far as i remember, the USB debugging is enabled. So any help would be appreciated. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mkfryan:
If usb debugging is intact enabled you can use adb and do a pull from phone to computer

how can do it?? PS i know what is adb but i dont know the REAL work of it, can u tell me?? :) Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HemdonG:
Hey guys, i found a complete solution and works flawlessly.. hres how :

1) U must have usb debugging enabled, without that its useless.

2) Install kies and drivers, its a must.

3) download the adb bridge from hre: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit?pli=1

4) install it and reboot ur computer

5) once done connect ur phone,

6) open adb and type: adb devices

7) ur going to get some sort of port connectivity

8) nxt type: adb pull /sdcard/

9) and voila!!! its going to take time depending on ur size.

PS this works completely and its also bypasses the password, so no worries!!

Thanks

have you tried requesting info for your device from peel? ---> http://help.peel.com/requests/new

just let them know as much detail as possible about your device (you'll find these in it's menu under info), or look for stickets on it with manufacturer names, maybe you'll find out from what manufacturer was it "rebranded" and look for that brand's codes

Hello everyone, do you know application shortcuts from dock keyboard ? I know Search + b ( browser ) Search + c ( Contacts ). Actually I need a shortcut for application drawer. Also an app that we can use for creating shortcuts... I found an app that would do the trick but unfortunately it cannot be accessed since it's removed from play store.
[Transformer TF300T General] elesbb:
This is a system controlled thing by Asus. I know where its doing this so i can probably edit the smali code to run custom code. I may implement this into the CROMI ROM and use CROMI Control to control the behavior.
[Google Chromecast] logitechor:
I am happy with the functionality of the Chromecast. Netflix, Play Music and YouTube function quite well. I liked briefly being able to play local media. But I can't help but wonder what will Google add to it. Roku has so many channels both official and private. Apple TV just added a couple more. Not very many but still many more then Google. Any thoughts on how Chromecast will mature.
[Google Chromecast] Unholyfire:
I think so many people are caught up in the idea of playing their local media, that they had forgot that this device can do so much more!

I am personally working on a couple of preview/proof-of-concept projects, within the guidelines that Google has given us, including having my Chromecast whitelisted. And they still work just fine, aka not blocked.

One is a game (with plans to develop quite a few games).

One is a home automation/security hub integration.

There is a lot of potential for this device. And even with an unfinished SDK, the current API allows for all of this still.

Consider this. The receiver app API is 100% compatible to JavaScript and HTML5. And so much can be developed on these platforms.

The problem I see is, we have SOOOOOO many more "consumers/users" roaming this device then we do developers. And when the proof-of-concept that the CC could playback local media emerged, everyone was FLING'n to that and didn't allow their minds to see outside that box (like the pun there?).

I for one am still extremely excited for this product. As a developer, I see it as a great tool that adds an outlet to my creativity which can be integrated with current relevant apps and web experiences, and future ones.

I truly hope that the rest of the community can see this "light at the end of the tunnel" as well. I'd hate to see the CC get such a bad rep just because an ability that was never promised in the first place, got, for all we know, temporarily disabled.
[Google Chromecast] DirgeExtinction:
Thank you for this post. We finally get one of the few adult posts around here. I'm very interested in what you have planned so far. :)
[Google Chromecast] verysmartncool:
I look forward to the gaming part as from what I understand there is a lag between the input and display on the tv. And for gaming lag is an absolute no-no.
[Google Chromecast] rkirmeier:
The thing with local media streaming is that it should have been included from the start and is one of the most common and basic needs for Android users. We all have these really nice smartphones with incredible cameras and want a very easy way to push pictures or video we have taken to our big screens for reviewing as a group. I have no doubt it will come once the SDK is out of beta and it's really too bad that we all had access to AirCast because it provided a key functionality then Google took it away. Yes, it should never had happened and I understand why they had to block the hack but they also had to realize it was going to upset a lot of people. I just don't get why they didn't provide this functionality from the start, it's just such a natural solution for Android to share pictures on a big screen....
[Google Chromecast] Unholyfire:
Since my proof-of-concept game does not require millisecond latency for control interface from the player to the screen, this is not an issue. Also, the lag that is present appears to be less than a second thus far anyway.
[Google Chromecast] raptir:
I'm not sure why it should have been included. It was never advertised as having that functionality. The Chromecast website states...

It will be great once the SDK is officially released and developers can release an app for that... but it was and is sold as a solution for online video.
[Google Chromecast] logitechor:
I am hopeful people can bring a variety of things to the Chromecast. I can stream my local files to the roku quite easily. And actually I have a slimport and a push2tv. So it is easy. I can already use the roku for angry birds. Not sure whether latency is an issue. It is true that Google did not advertise that it could play local files but they are smart enough to know that customers would want to. If they are worried about upsetting the Cable companies, etc. We have plenty of ways to stream content from our Android devices to the television. I. Can play a local file on the computer using a chrome browser. Granted it looks terrible but it works.

I'm wondering if it is safe to pump up the charging current on the S3 using USB 3.0 ports?

Currently it is set to 475 mA while USB 3 ports can go upto 900 mA (using Siyah Kernal).

To be on the safer side, I have it set to 750 mA right now but I'm not sure if this is a good idea in the long run.

Thanks in advance.

Ummm... do you mean CM10.2 Alpha1? Because otherwise you're sooooo far back on CM revs it's not worth it (latest stable is 10.1.2).

Either way, make sure you're at UVMC6 baseband/radio -- non-JB radios don't work on CM10+ (JB) -- and you get what your phone is experiencing; no cellular network service (WiFi should be OK).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Sicily1918:
That's bizarre... you're not even rooted anymore, I take it? Did you do a full factory wipe after going to stock ROM (it's probably redundant, but what the hell)?

There's one other possibility -- it happened on my BlackBerry a few years ago and I got a strange error (dunno if Android gives that sort of error or where) -- basically, I had a bad SIM that still worked (it just couldn't connect, but the phone saw it as a normal SIM). I replaced it, called T-Mo and gave them the new SIM number (you can do it online nowadays) and was back up and running in minutes.

Of course, try pulling out the battery, SIM, and SD card, then put everything back in and power on...

there is alot of information on this forum but I was wondering where I should start to basically be safe with the phone, (incase it ever dies)

[Sony Xperia ZL] bouvrie:
I have a similar question, I want to backup all partitions (Boot, Recovery, System, TA and any others I'm not aware of).

I thought RomDump as a universal method would work, it didn't on my rooted Xperia ZL (gives a Segmentation Fault). Perhaps Sony has some protection in place that's specific to this device?

@OP: I'm not sure but you'll probably either want to check out the TitaniumBackup app or research the Settings==>Personal==>"Backup & reset" option.
[Sony Xperia ZL] SafiXS:
If you softbrick your device only flashtool, sus and pc companion can rescue your device. It's always the best way you refresh your cwm backup before you do something like moding etc.. If your device hardbricked, only Sony or someone with specific hardware can rescue your device.

Important for you is, don't play around with ta partition!

[Sony Xperia ZL] bouvrie:
Question is, can I rely on only a CWM backup +TA partition backup to get my phone into the factory state? I fear that processes like Nandroid and CWM backup only backup part of the phone (some apps & system/settings) and miss specific partitions (like the recovery partition or something else unknown to me) that may very well be required later on.

Yes, I did root my new Nexus 7 for the same reasons I root every Android device I own. I run custom ROMs, kernels, and use apps that require root access.
