Assuming you have everything you need, meaning stock backup (already placed on your phone) including boot.img/kernel & stock recovery from latest update, best order would be:

1. flash stock boot.img in fastboot

2. restore stock backup

3. flash stock recovery

3. relock bootloader

Now your phone should be completely back to stock except your bootloader saying "relocked" instead of "locked". You should be able to get future OTA updates from HTC (assuming we will get another update) again, the stock recovery is necessary to install these updates and if i remember right, the bootloader only has to be relocked in order to update HBOOT version. But what's the matter in keeping bootloader unlocked when having completely stock rom installed?

For me the only reason to go back to stock is installing latest OTA if there's a new HBOOT version included.
[HTC One X+] 10rdan:
I've got 'stock backup and boot.img' saved on laptop and USB stick. Where will I find 'stock recovey, is it within the backup I created or do I need to find it on this forum ?

I'm happy with ARHD8 etc but, me being me, I'm always curious about what can and can't be done. ie, return to 'stock'.

Cheers
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
You can find it inside of this firmware package for O2 i extracted from latest OTA. But don't use the boot.img in there, if you do so, your mobile connections may not work after restore.

I've just been having a look at the various settings within TWRP and noticed that one of the options available when backing up is 'recovery'. By default there is no 'X' in the box which, I presume, means I didn't backup the 'stock recovery' when doing my initial back before flashing ARHD8 ?

If so, is it possible to get the stock recovery somewhere ?

Thanks
[HTC One X+] reaper90:
Lol even if you had checked this in TWRP when you took a backup of stock rom, guess which recovery you would've backuped :P
[HTC One X+] 10rdan:
Sorry, just read your reply re. getting stock recovery. Was posting my thread at same time.

Am I right about not having backed up 'recovery' because there was no 'X' in box ?

Thanks

I've downloaded the file but winzip won't open it, 'central directory not found', so I can't extract the 'recovery' ??

No problems here using WinRAR, just copy it out of the zip.

Hi guys,

I got a Samsung T989 T-Mobile yesterday with stock Gingerbread Rom, i flashed recovery cwm and rooted the phone.

I flashed a 4.1.2 rom, everything was working good except that the phone doesn't detect my sim card.

I Flashed various roms and various modems, restocked to 2.3.6 and 2.3.5 still having the same issue.

I also tryed some tested sim cards and still no sim detected.

I don't even know wich baseband came with my GB version, is there a way to find the good stock rom ?

Radio tryed :

UVLI1

UVKL1

UVKID

UVMC6

UVLDE

UVLE1

UVLI4

Any idea ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] knightandroid:
I am not sure if this will help you, but I had some phone not recognizing SIM type problems too, and the problem was if the SIM card was not in the exact right spot the phone would not recognize it. So I would try to scoot the SIM to one side of the slot or the other and that fixed it. Also if I dropped the phone it would say "SIM card removed" "restart device" and I would have to reposition the SIM card. I hope I helped someone:)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mingkee:
You need Kies 3 and Smartswitch.

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP#versionInfo

Before the migration, you have to use old (2.x) Kies to backup data and unplug your old phone after that, and quit old Kies.

Now plug in your Note 3 and run Kies 3 and use data transfer in tools menu.

Smartswitch will start and Kies will close.

You have to transfer data from other Samsung phone, and locate the backup data from your old Samsung phone (usually in \My Documents\Samsung\Kies\(your phone model).

Start data transfer.

I much prefer a selective restore using the SD card and titanium backup. Forces me to do a little house cleaning rather than transfer a bunch of junk. Fwiw.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ayermas:
restore data from note2 to note3

I used Kies to backup all data from Note 2 to my PC.

Then tried to use SmartSwitch on the PC to restore the date to my Note 3 by directing it to the proper directory on my PC.

However when pressing the transfer button the message says the files must be version 2.5.3 or above?

Any advice please, this is rather frustrating that Samsung can make good phone on hardware and software but NOT on the Utility Manager, unbelievable, this is where they are lacking caompared to Apple I suppose.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zane203:
So I might be getting a Note 2 since the 3 is too expensive for me right now. I do not like touchwiz all that much (well mainly the way the bottom dock area for apps are, I like the app circle in the middle as well as being able to customize my grid for home screens.)

Anyway, I'd like to keep the s-pen functionality as well as the dual app screen and etc. so is there a rom that keeps these features from samsung in but has the home screen and such similar to stock android? I noticed there's a stable release of cyanogenmod out, but I cannot find any full data on this particular rom other than "unoffical" versions of it by other people.

Or would I be better off sticking with getting a different launcher, and putting up with the app drawer and etc.?

I also got 48GB. Technically, when combined with the 2-some-oddGB that dropbox gave me from the start, it ends up being like 50.7GB total, so maybe that's why they say "Get 50GB of Dropbox free!" I mean, after all, 50GB is such a nicer number than 48.

I'm glad this promo is still active, as the 50GB from my ATT SGS3 "hack", was due to expire in the summer of 2014, but this'll extend it to the end of 2015, by which time 50GB should be the new minimum free amount of cloud storage anyway.

edit: fwiw, I also used the "virtual machine MAC address hack" (google it) to get another 20GB free, so I've got a total of 70GB for free (which is the max you can get afaik).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Same here, FWIW.

The 50GB that I got from my SGS3 is expiring June 2014, and the 50GB that I was supposed to get from my Note3 (during setup) was neither added to my current 70GB quota nor did it reset my expiration date.

Perhaps the way it works is that since the promos don't stack, then when one Samsung dropbox promo expires, the next one -- still hidden -- begins? In any case, it would be nice to have the confusion cleared up, so that I don't have to reupload after reactivating on my Note3 next summer.

That's why you pre-encrypt stuff you want to keep secret. I use encfs locally, and periodically sync it to various places like my VPS and DropBox, but others use TrueCrypt, gpg, etc.

As far as photos, I don't care if Agent P can see 'em, so I Dropsync 'em after I've deleted the crappy/blurry ones. (I'd sync with the official DropBox app, but it's dumb, in that won't delete the crappy/blurry ones you've deleted off your phone, so you'd have to do it twice).

My friend purchased a Note 3, but does not plan to use Dropbox. Is the Dropbox credit transferable? I would like to get it from him.

I read the FAQ at Dropbox (reference: https://www.dropbox.com/help/297/en) and it is stated, "The first Dropbox account that signs in to the app on the device will get 48 GB of free space." I'm thinking I can just sign in with my account on his phone, get the 48GB of storage immediately, then sign out. If he wants to create his own account, that should be fine. Is my assumption correct?

When I first set up my phone, ti did the "log into dropbox for the extra space". I did it all but never got it. I did however have 50 gigs from when I bought my S3 a year and a half ago. Would that have stopped it from applying or would it have applied anyways?

Same here. Still have my 50 from my S3 and I got 25 from something else, I forget (maybe HTC). I wonder if we'll ever be able to use our Note 3 promo since it wasn't added to our DB acct??? I've heard there was a max of 100, not sure if thats true or not but makes sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] OMA2k:
Hi, I got the so-called "international" version of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N9005) and I also got the 2+48 GB from the old Galaxy S3 promo in July 2012.

Now I logged into my old Dropbox account in my new Note 3, but I still have just 54,6 GB. I didn't have any additional space added.

Since there is no indication about it, I highly doubt the promo will be extended when it expires.

So, since I also happened to have my Dropbox account full (all of the 54 GB were used), I've just logged out of my old Dropbox account and created a new one to get the extra 50 GB. Yes, it's inconvenient to have multiple accounts, but at least you get to keep your old 50+ GB account even when the old promo expires (when it expires you can't upload files anymore, but you still can access your old files even if they take 50 GB of space and the account was downgraded to a regular 2 GB one, since no files are deleted), while I still can upload files to my new 50 GB Dropbox account.

Also, GMail helps you create a new account without the need to create a new mail address. Just append a + sign followed by any string to fake a different mail address.

For example john.doe+seconddropboxaccount@gmail.com would be a valid address and you would still get Dropbox mails sent there forwarded to john.doe@gmail.com

In addition to having the official Dropbox app in your Note 3 to sync new stuff, you can install a third party app to access files in your old Dropbox account from your phone in case you need them. See this article:

http://www.maketecheasier.com/connect-multiple-dropbox-accounts-on-android/

Finally, you can unlink Dropbox from your computer and link the new Dropbox account for syncing. The old one won't need syncing since after the expiration date uploads won't be allowed anymore. Just remember to rename your old Dropbox folder AFTER unlinking but BEFORE linking with your new Dropbox account (to avoid files in your old account being synced and filling your new account). You might need to uninstall the Dropbox desktop app so the OS lets you do this. After renaming the folder, reinstall Dropbox.

But if you really want to have the Dropbox notification tray shortcut to your old account as well for convenience (and not having to log in multiple times each time you want to access the files in your different accounts), you can run two or more Dropbox instances at the same time in your computer. See here:

http://www.dropboxwiki.com/forums-faq/running-multiple-instances-of-dropbox

I hope this is helpful to anyone.
