You have posted in the Wrong Section. Questions go in the Q & A Section. Read the Sections before you post or just understand it, buddy. Answering your question, first root your Phone. Second, flash CWM Recovery. This will allow you to install ROM's. Third, choose the ROM of your choice. It can be any Versions starting from 2.2 to 4.4(CM 9 to CM11). CM7 is the best and lag free for our Phones with Good Battery Backup when compared to CM9 & CM10

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] salman956:
So I have cracked the display of my t989. The digitizer is damaged so the touch won't work. In order to mount the storage I need to select the usb mass storage option through the phone, since the touch panel isn't working IS THERE ANY OTHER WAY OF ACCESSING THE DATA? I just need to rescue the data from the internal storage, the phone is of no use otherwise.

Hi all

Finally figured out that fast dormancy has been what's causing connectivity issues on our phones since we switched networks.

I found a ROM to disable it for my phone, One S, but couldn't find a similar ROM for the One V. Does anyone know of one or know how to do it manually (both devices are rooted)?

okk so i was trying to flash a rom for the first time and i really went at it the wrong way. i didin't backup my original RUU and now my device is stuck on the bootloader screen and i really have no idea what to do. i just want to get an OS running on my phone right now cause im freaking out. my company carrier is rogers and this is what my phone is showing right now:

i try looking for another ruu to flash in my phone but i cant seem to find one that works with my phone..even when i try using the flashboot getvar command to check for the version this is all i got.. : C:\Users\david\Desktop\sdk-tools>fastboot getvar version-main

any help at this point would be greatly appreciated i need to get my phone up working so i can receive my calls

i have managed to bring back recovery mode by re-unlocking it via htcdev..now when the phone boots it goes to the google logo and then the language selecting screen then restarts after 10 secs everytime
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenstre:
Instead of the fastboot command you typed, write:

fastboot getvar all

Then look for "CID". Search for a RUU for that CID. If you can't find one, we'll discuss other solutions.

since i did not make a backup is there a chance i can restore this ? ive tried the method that suggest sideloading but it didn't work or maybe i didin't do it right but it didn't wanna recognize my phone when i tried the command'

well all i was trying to do was install the goole play edition rom (bigxie_m7_GPe_KRT16S_odexed-signed.zip) but after the installation it kept restarting after the language selection screen. i used twrp to flash the rom. right now all im able to do is cycle through the booloader, the recovery screen and to the language selection screen
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gffmac:
Unless you have another rom (4.3 rom) copied onto the storage on your phone you will probably have to flash stock recovery and recover by installing a stock RUU for your carrier/CID version.

---------- Post added at 11:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Out of curiosity try going into twrp and doing a factory reset (wipe) and reboot see if you have the same issue.

is there such thing as a stuck RUU for rogers in canada? ive been looking on the internet but i can't seem to find anything that could works for my phone. maybe you could point me in a direction so i could look ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gffmac:
Cant see any for rogers :(

Just found this http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-tutorials/how-to-copy-files-to-htc-one-using-twrp-mount-and-adb/ if you can copy a rom to the phone it will probably work.

A nandroid backup for rogers is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2207874 or you could flash a pre 4.4 rom. CWM needed to recover a CWM backup and backup would need to be in right directory.

You would need to unlock bootloader to do these things.

If I was you I would download a custom rom like Android Revolution HD 40.3 copy over via above process, do a wipe and install, without s-off you probably have to flash kernel via fastboot.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerome:
thanks for your answers

i definitly am gonna try installing the android revolution hd rom to see if i can at least get an OS running on my phone. what command do i have to use to flash the kernel ?

also, i have tried sideloading/pushing the nandroid backup before but that didint seem to work, not sure if i did something wrong.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gffmac:
To flash a kernel via fastboot 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'. Make sure the boot.img (if thats what its called) is in the same folder as fastboot. The corresponding kernel(boot.img) is inside the zip file of most roms.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerome:
thanks to your help i was able to install an earlier version of android hd :) so after many hours of headache i somehow managed to install the android hd rom by sideloading it with cwm. what a pain in the arse -_-. nonetheless that was a great help, what should i do now so something like this don't happen again? i wanted to have the google edtion on my htc but i think im gonna wait until im better at this thing.

anyways thanks again man i really appreciate you have no idea how frustrated i was lol :good:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gffmac:
No probs glad you got it working again.

If you really want to try a Google Edition rom you would need to s-off your phone which is trickier than what you have done so far so may want to read up some more.

I had the exact same problem while i was flashing a GEdition ROM. The problem here is that my volume Keys dont work and i cant manage to enter recovery/bootloader over ADB. Tried all usb cords and porta. Still giving me Device not found. Any tricky way to access bootloader or recovery?

I've already sent it to warranty but without the original software.... Blablabla they told me that it would only work

with a board replacement... 180€

How come your volume keys dont work, did it come that way? I presume you have tried holding power and volume down for a prolonged length of time??
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerxmoose:
For no reason they stop working. And i think its a hardware malfunction. Besides that, i cant manage to enter bootloader or recovery to instala other ROM.

I guess with Samsung Phones there is a doubletap on the screen to enter bootloader.

Im really stressing here.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
There is no bootloader in Samsung phones, and no doubletap. You need to hit the buttons as well. If you are able to boot into the phone and adb devices shows the device, you can do

adb reboot-bootloader or adb reboot recovery
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deerxmoose:

man, i tried everything. install HTC Sync, uninstall, installed again, and so on. i have other htc phones that i can do everything since adb to fastboot.

a fact is that i manage to reboot only once to recovery on the HTC One and flash other rom, and then flashed again the GEdition rom, and get the same bootloop-language selection, problem. and since then im stuck in this situation.

*edit*

i think my phone isnt responding to the adb/fastboot commands because it hasnt usb debugging on. but without booting to the OS i cant manage to turn it on...

final release version of SPB backup for WM5 is now available to download at SPBsoftwarehouse.com

Free trail gives full functionality of software for 5 runs.

Tried it on my Mini S and it worked a treat.

Full backup to my storage card then restore from a singe executable or back up individual items (data/databases/settings etc..)

$20 for the full version which is pretty good value IMO
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Interesting... I wonder how it stacks up against Sunnysoft's and Sprite's.

Is there any comparison review out there?

Also.. does this do a full backup, or just a backup of everything it can normally access? (e.g. registry, POOM, basic settings, data files - but not any of the files you can't normally copy)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
From all the reviews I have read, the new WM5 versions of Sprite and spb backup are fine apps.

The difference for me is the sprite allows you to selectively restore files right on the device. Spb does not allow that, basically all or nothing. This is important when and if certain files get corruputed or changed. To do this using spb, you have to extract the files on a pc then copy them to the ppc.

Other than that, both programs will backup and restore your wm5 device.

Here's a comprehensive review of backup solutions for WM5.

http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=545&more=1
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Nice overview - though I think it's somewhat funny that they say "and there're only two reliable backup solutions: Sprite Backup 5 and Spb Backup 1.0" - so does that mean that Sunnysoft's (http://www.sunnysoft.cz/en_clanek.php?clanekid=51) is -un-reliable?

Actually, after some reading, the author does seem to think so - based on his experiences with it on a wizard (a Dell Axim x50 guy reported quite the opposite)... so, SPB Backup it is...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] itsmewhoelse:
Actually, with SpB, you can select which files to backup or restore. You can also view them on your pc. It works as advertised, which is very well.

There's a good review over on Pocket PC Dubai.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Puckster:
Anybody that has purchased ANY OTHER SPB Software House package (SPB Pocket Plus, SPB Weather etc) can get a discount code which brings the price down to $15.96 which is around 1/2 the price of Sprite :D

See the rewards / discount section of the website http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/support/productdiscount.php?en

Cheers

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] JNGold:
But you can't restore 1 or more specific files away from your PC. The only way to restore when you are away from your PC is an all-or-nothing scenario.

I can recall many times in which I did not want to restore my whole PPC and only wanted one or more specific files.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
Yup, it can't backup/restore WinCE databases (for example, PIM stuff, SMS messages etc) reliably. Other than that (backing up the file system/registry), it's OK. But why go for a partially working solution when Spb/Sprite Backup do what they are intended to?

Was it a WM5 x50 or just a WM2003SE one? No backup program has problems with the latter. WM5, on the other hand, is an entirely different animal and just can't be backed up/restored with pre-WM5 algorithms.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Menneisyys:
Not with restore - only with backup.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] al1:
also with restore

you can chose what files to restore by chosing option for my documents and system data when you restore your data
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] itsmewhoelse:
Ya' know, to me, the most important reason for backing up is data, settings, and configuration retrieval in the event of a catastrophic event.

The first thing I did with SpB is a backup my wizard, a hard reset, then a full restore.

My wizard was returned to exactly the same state as it was before the hard reset. No other backup app I tried did that. So I bought it.

Of course, I lean towards SpB products because they have always responded to my emails, offered advice, and listened and asked questions when I have a suggestion. So, if there are 2 or more products that work equally well, I'm gonna choose SpB every time. Their customer service is world class.

Just my .02 :)
[General Questions and Answers] Smashbro29:
The day I got my new phone I rooted it, got titanium backup and got rid of all the garbage unfortunately I went a little overboard getting rid of google play services in the process effectively killing my phone by not allowing it to go to the play store.

I want to start over from scratch, just get the default rom and reload it and make it new so I can go back in time. How do I do it?

I'd also appreciate if there was a list of what was safe to get rid of and what will kill functionality.
[General Questions and Answers] Olycius:
You should look into getting a custom rom like cyanogen mod. It gets rid off all the bloatware and google apps. That way you won't have to uninstall everything yourself. Either way for stock rom to get you stock rom, turn off the device, then hold the power, home button, and volume up until the little blue letters pop up on the top left then let go. Then your going to do a factory reset(use volume up and down to navigate and power button to select) and once that's done select reboot now. Then your phone should reboot on a fresh stock rom.
[General Questions and Answers] Giops:
Can I suggest you to install Omega Rom? It is based on the stock rom and with the aroma installer you can choose what samsung-app install before installing the rom itself.
