As clustered said you should do a full back with a software like "Sprite Backup" before you start applying the new Radio Version 1.04.00, as it will hardreset your device and all data will be lost.

Go to ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Alpine and download XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar . Extract the file to a folder of your choice. Then DELETE files ms_.nbf and nk.nbf from that folder, only leave radio_.nbf in place.

Connect your device to the PC via ActiveSync, then start MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe , it will not run through completely, after a while it will get stuck. Kill the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe via Windows task manager, while leaving your device connected. Then restart MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, the second time the update will go through.

After you finished, restore your Backup.

You will not lose your specific language settings.

hth,

Problem With Restore

upgrade done;) minor problem with restore from SD card... ---> at killing processes it freezes on 10seconds:/ why? any ideas?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] TinTin:
umm, no idea! were you able to restore though anyway?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] demiseh:
thx god yes! just now did it.

ok, here's the thing i dont understand:

1. afet hard reset - all data restored from the beginning

2. --> if all data lost -> then what happens to the available copy of Sprite Back-up on the device? its also lost correct? though i had it installed on my SD card, so its technically there, but not visible by the Device.

3. i click on the file, to load from SD card and auto-restore my device, and evrythin theoretically works fine except it freezes.

how did i fix it?

1. didnt work from PC, dunno why.

2. so what i did was install sprite back-up again, obviously crack it, and restore it manually from there ---> what happened? ---> FROZE AGAIN

3. so once i had the sprite back-up already installed once again (step 2), i just restored from the PC and this time it worked...weird...dunno what happened, what went wrong, but i was freaked out for a second & was goin2 rip my hair out. how do u guys restore? from PC or from PPC? and do u do it via the Sprite application or just by clickling the file on the PPC? more info needed;) hope it wont happen soon;)
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] TinTin:
It's probably one of the process started via the autostart that is has problems killing, try moving some things from \Windows\AutoStart to a backup folder some place, then reboot your device - try restore again - if it runs through copy the things you moved back into \Windows\AutoStart
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] demiseh:
hm...interesting. but here's another fact:

i was running in advanced mode::: i had also tried disabling the 'process kill' feature, and still at 10Seconds it froze for some reason....i dunno. i deleted the old backup on the sd, and i'm creating a new one. then i'll make a new back-up on the PC, and try restoring it once more both ways to figure it all out. freaky still:)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yes_thisis_joey:
My Razr M is on the OTA update 4.1.2 and for some reason their is absolutely no way to root it! ive tried it all and nothing works. i was wondering if i could downgrade back to 4.1.1 so i can root it and get cyanogenmod.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Motochopper 1.3 will root you. With that being said, you won't be able to downgrade if your bootloader is locked, even if you are rooted, and you won't be able to run CM unless your bootloader is unlocked. There was a CM10 build that worked with SafeStrap but I don't think it's around anymore.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athenus:
Hey Folks,

after playing around a while mainly with CyanogenMod 10 built by Quarx,

I was dissatisfied with the stability and especially the speed of the Defy+.

After using an oldschool mobile for the last weeks I decided I might give the Defy one more chance (missing GoogleMail and Contacts).

I wondered whether I can expect a major speed boost in using for example CyanogenMod 7 or any other rom.

Also stability is important to me, as I experienced reboots and connection issues with CM10 :(

So I realy don't need to many features, just a fast stable android.

(I believe a clean Android could totally satisfy these points, but I cant live with that bloated Motorola version..)

Do you have any recommendations/experience which other roms might meet my wishes?

Thanks in advance :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Either CM7 or MS2Ginger should satisfy your needs. CM9 isn't that bad as well.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikBre:
I can't find the cm9...

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freezer2k:
I also experience major stability and speed issues with CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) by Quarx.

Telephony API crashes a lot wish always requires a reboot.

Or the phone somehow loses the SIM card and i have to enter the PIN again before the phone becomes usable again.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong during the flashing process, or if it just 'normal' like that.

In any case, my Nexus4 was stolen in the Gym and I need a stable replacement phone for a few weeks!

Ordered the N5 yesterday, but who knows when it will _really_ ship.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikBre:
In my case just slow responses and several crash
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikBre:
I've falshed the Cm9 from Cm10.2.

My phone was blocked at the motorola logo.

Then i've flashed the CM 10 (Android 4.1.2) and after some attempts my phone restore.

Is there something different with CM9?

Maybe i've made a mistake with the CM9 file?

i would like to try to test stability and performance.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikBre:
I suggest you to try the version 10....is much more stable and performing
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrey Piekas:
My suggestion is to test the latest Mokee
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.dcm:
I'm on Mokee 4.2.2 right now (4.3 is not stable). I'm loving it; fairly stable and slightly faster than CM 10.1. But the Telephony issue is still there; there's no cure for it, unfortunately.

If stability as well as speed are important to you, give WIUI 3.1.27 a try. I used it for a few days, was blazing fast! But moved on as i can't live with gingerbread.

Two. You can get both in crossbreeder. That's why it's better then both.

Why would a new developer want those same people coming after them?

Then install both. Sounds like you're being too picky.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fabzbear:
Man he was being paranoid. Ain't no one coming after him. Really do you think of the big picture? He just had a close death to him that shook him and because he was being bothered by spammers that got to him. Ain't anyone trying to get him. It's a small number of people who root their devices and there's even a smaller number who uses his mod.

It's better to have one mod instead of trying to deal with problems of getting two different mods to work together.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] C2Q:
Lol I tried picking mine up at FS and they couldn't sell it to me despite me having it reserved. Street date is Nov 8th or some BS apparently. The guy had the box in his hand right in front of me. Not sure what Samsung is trying to achieve here by delaying launch by another week. Ugh.

Also it looks like there's only the white 32 gb model initially. Too bad, I wanted the black :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] bimmerboii:
Just a tip to those who live near the border. Amazon USA is selling the white 16gb for $549 plus a free $50 Amazon gift card. Its a pretty good deal and I was able to take advatange of it. Also, you get perks worth $600 upon registering the tablet. I dont think the Canadian model offers the same perks.

Just picked up the last one at my future shop
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) General] asaqwert:
I just bought the last one in calgary today bro!!!

didn't realize it was released until last night at about midnight, woke up this morning and called everywhere. the best buy stores ALL had their stock mis-shipped, so NONE of them got it in. as for futureshop, the only one that had any left was the deerfoot meadows store, which thankfully is only about a ten minute drive from my house. called, got the guy to put it away for me, and tore down there as fast as i could, went in and bought it immediately (after having them run around looking for it because the sales guy didn't put it on hold properly, he just hid it inside the lockup where their normal stock is...so i could have even had it sold out from under me if i wasn't lucky).

i ended up buying the total protection plan coverage because it covers up to two free replacements if i break it, so i figure worst case, it breaks, great i just saved 300 bucks on the second tablet (since the plan cost me 300 instead of its usual 360) and then if i break it again, perhaps days before the end of the warranty and when they only have the next generation note available, then i guess i get it replaced with the new one :D

also the warranty is over the counter for breakage, they don't make you wait and wait and wait.... you simply bring it in, they see it's broken, and they go get you a new one. if it's just needing repair, like for the battery, which is covered for two years also, then you actually get a loaner note while yours is being fixed...pretty damn cool!!!!

anyways, i just installed the latest australia firmware onto it, since that is the newest of any available, and i just rooted it....starting to really enjoy it now. now i just hope someone comes out with at least a rom or two for it, or i might have to try my hand at making one, although i've never made one how hard can it be? lol...

2012 Nexus 4 did. On the release day in November, was supposed to go on sale at 8am PDT, but really went live 15 minutes early. By the time people signed on at the top of the hour, stock was GONE. :mad: SOLD OUT. Weeks later came back, then disappeared just as quickly -- like in 30 minutes.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimtyson:
What people think is pointless, thus a pointless thread. Everyone has an opinion, like a you know what. I reiterate. This is stupid.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChazzMatt:
NOT pointless, as sometimes history is your guide.

For instance, Google has never released a Nexus phone before November.

January (gen1)

December (gen2)

November (gen3)

November (gen4).

(Yes, January comes after November and December, just like New Year's comes after Christmas.)

The last two years Google has settled on October ANNOUNCEMENTS, followed by November RELEASE. Sure, they can change that, but until you get past January, the Nexus is NOT delayed. ;) Or at least past November, if you are just looking at the last two years.

And knowing the history of the Nexus 4, you know to NOT believe Google's statement when it will go on sale. You know to get in early. The site may go live much earlier than stated.

And knowing how fast the Nexus 4 sold out, you know not to be disappointed if you don't get one right now. ;)

So, it's all useful information.

But if Amazon, might be for CONTRACT phones, like with Sprint, AT&T -- not necessarily Amazon selling for Google. Amazon sells a lot of phones at discount, if you sign a contract with major carrier. They act as an agent for those carriers.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wideasleep1:

Yes, Amazon sells the excellent Sony Xperia ZL C6506 off contract. It was Sony's compact version of the Xperia Z and could be considered Sony's version of a Nexus phone -- unlocked, quad core, 5", 1080p, 13MP camera, pentaband HSPA+ with multiple LTE bands. (The C6506 is the North America version.)

It was my back up choice if the Nexus 5 wasn't done right. :)

Comes in 3 colors. Still a good phone, but Sony needs to update it to Snapdragon 800.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alan sh:
I have the international Galaxy SIII (UK edition) which I got about 15 months ago. It's running OK, but there are a couple of really irritating things about it.

1. It is SLOW. It can take 4-5 seconds for the phone screen to pop up (for example). Sometimes a bit quicker, but never instant. I have turned off all animation. Other apps are not too bad, but I really want to use it as a phone....

2. When it reboots, it always goes back to the basic keyboard. I like AI keyboard and want that as the default.

So, assuming there are no cures for the above (and if there are, please tell me), which ROM would you suggest I burn to make the system work as I want it to. I am not a stranger to rooting and updating (I've done my Nexus 7, Nexus 10 and a few Touchpads)

Thanks for any advice.
