[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
So you're unlocked and have a custom recovery but SD won't mount?

Do this, boot to fastboot

fastboot erase system -w

That will format system, data and cache and being SD is emulated on data you should be good

Now boot back to recovery and you will need to use adb sideload to flash your ROM

adb sideload nameofrom.zip

And if gapps are required do the same

adb sideload gapps.zip

If this isn't clear just search a bit or ask again what your not sure of and I'll help ya
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLEK0TA:
No in fastboot mode recovery i cant see device under adb device. Only fastboot device i can see. But meanwhile i flashed original stock rom and from my 32gb Nexus is now 16gb!!! So Wtf? I am totally disgusting 7 hours of my life is in (___.___)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Yes, fastboot only works in bootloader and adb only works in recovery and os

There are many threads across xda that explain why you may loose a huge chunk of your memory when flashing factory images along with answering how to fix this issue

Again if you need further help feel free to ask
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLEK0TA:
So after factory restart is all Ok - again 32gb. But i am on stock rom without root with locked bootloader..

In recovery mode i cant see SD card space

I cant push any file in recovery..

And SD card in recovery is undiscoverable as i make picture..

So root is for me imposible

I see that we still have a lot problems with w5 on our beloved blue angels.

Now, my question is: what is a major benefit to go from fast and reliable SE 2003 to W 5.0?

it's sluggish, unstable.

so, why we all upgrading-downgrading our devices up and down, is this a justified action to get a better OS or our desire to try something new?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Percz:
Something new. :wink:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
WM5 is a lot better than WM2003 but the problem is that there is no specefic official version of wm5 for blueangel, so developers reverse engineer other versions of WM5 and the leaked one from MS , to create stable OS. Latest WM5 versions are quite stable. None forces you to try WM5 if you don't like it downgrade and use WM2003
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] COM:
it's not about forcing me or someone to use w5.0, but what's better in this OS, what do you mean by saying better ? speed, stability extra functionality ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
I simply like it better:)

Its like WinMe vs WinXP ;)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Percz:
Well said TB. Kinda like, why are people instrested in Windows Vista? Windows XP work dunit? Acuttaly, don't answer that one.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] COM:
Guys, you are talking very subjectivly:

like-don't like.

win me and win xp is quite dif. OS. Upgrading to XP gives us very stable reliable system with much more functionalities.

I simply like to see what extra features are in wm5, which are not available in SE.

so far we have OS with not 100% working BT, MMS, terrible ActiveSync, poor phone, etc.

I am very grateful to guys workimg on these ROMs, and thank them of course, but my question: is wm5 better than SE at all and what this better stuff is?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] starik:
COM,

flashing OS takes about 15 mins. So, flash WM5, play with it. U can always go back to WM23.

And Wm5 to Wm2 is not like ME to XP. More like Win2K vs Win2K+service packs.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
Well for me its a Me vs XP ;) (My SE kept crashing and crashing, doublesending the same SMS, not sending MMSes at all, freezing when cancelling calls). WM5 drops Bluetooth connections, does strange things with the hw keyboard and works quite slow (I overclocked the CPU to 531MHz, it works... usable). But at least I can use my PHONE as a PHONE.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
I agree with TB

I have many problems with 2003SE, 3-4 daily resets, because it hangs, when the battery and backup battery drains out you loose everything(such as in hard reset). I have no such problems with WM5 it is much stable and it is slower than 2003 but in the recent WM5 roms (Ivan's and Tuatara) the speed is improved and stability is much better than 2003SE
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] SysCrasher13:
I like WM5 because it looks better, and the soft keys are very usefull. and you get to show off the nice and hard work of Mamaich, Tuatara and all others and say that xda-dev kicks ass!!!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] COM:
well, from what you are saying: wm5 is more stable !

Thanks, this is an advantage no doubt. let's hope we will soon get the final version from our gurus here.

By the way, should wm5 be a hardware independent OS, like windows XP and portable from one PDA to another?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] _TB_TB_:
Better not - due to XP's portability it eats up so much resources :| If you wanna try it yourself - Linux for example compiles (is compiled ;) ) in order to match the HW configuration of the computer, while WindowsXP 'HasItAll, but mostly unusefull for your current hardware' :|

Hi,

I am using O2 XDA IIs for more than 8 months. I eagerly waited for the O2 update, as HP had offered to its ipaqs.But it was very disappointing that , instead of giving software updates; o2 started to show new models with Windows Mobile 5.0. I tried even from Microsoft site for upgrades, but that was a futile attempt.Then I finally decided to upgrade from XDA-developres.

You have to understand that major advantafe of WM5 over the Wm2003se is that data is not volatile; so there is no need to backup now and then.Secondly fast and secure.The major problem is that it needs faster processor. I hope it is helpful.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kdskamal:
WM5 is slower than WM2003SE. WM5 best offering is persistent storage.

It is because it has NAND based rom. So, it doesnt offer XIP
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] xplode:
Yes it is a lil slower than 2003 but it hte rom is properly build (Ivan and Tuatara roms) you will find no diference for speed, bu you will find a lot more stability. The CPU is not so important, we see devices with 200 MHz CPU to run WM5 just fine (Prophet and Wizard), of course they have a lil problems with multitasking but thay have only 200 MHz CPU, so you have to expect some lag. Blueangel have more than enough resources to run and operate WM5, we just need a properly tweaked rom for this device.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] splonker:
WM5 is just better, if you do decide to try an upgrade and if you experience annoying problems which we all encounter at the moment with WM5 - you may think about downgrading but the thought of going back to the nauseating look of WM2003 is a thought which you wont want...

Put Frank - WM2003 is foul!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] spkr4thdd:
WM5 vs WM2003...

I have tried various WM5 ROMS (including all the current AKU2.3 versions) and cooked many a WM2003SE ROM, and there is no way I will revert to WM2003SE now...

I have only experienced keyboard lag on one ROM (Logouts I think) and had a disaster with 2... Logouts most recent (v5) and Artz's ROM's just didn't hack it at all... as for speed the Ivan+ RamDisk was up there with 2003 and the new AKU2.3 ROMS (all of them!) are easily as speedy, add to that the more intuitive soft keys, the better notifications, the built in Photo Contacts, the better built in apps (PPT is a biggy for me) and of course the non-volatile storage... and you have a winner...

Yes, we need to tweak it, and work on it, but if you don't want to do that, why are you here?

The only downside I have atm is the lack of A2DP which I loved on 2003, but I can live without that, I have an MP3 player which I can use for that bit, and my BA is now an all singing, all dancing PDA Phone...

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] skid:
I have tried Tuma, Logout and Ivans versions and agree with the comments elsewhere on speed, reliability, battery use etc. However, I have had a problem with ALL of these ROMS - the phone stops working after 60 seconds (or less)!?! I have also tried 1.12, 1.13 and 1.15 of Radio but still the phone calls drop.

No-one else seems to have reported this problem so thought it was my device but I've reverted back to WM2003SE and it works fine. I really want to use WM5 and wonder whether there is an issue with the operator IDs?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
Skid, I have the EXACT same problem, though it's more like 30 secs for me. I was a little concerned that it might be hardware related; you've saved me having to downgrade to 2003 to confirm this.

Do you also have problems making calls? 50% of the time outgoing calls don't get connected for me. My phone is an Orange M2000.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] skid:
Fraser - thanks for letting me know - thought it was only me! I had the same issue making calls as well as receiving but now I'm back to WM2003SE it works EVERY time. I like the WM5 interface but I can't sacrifice the phone functionality as I actually need the phone to work (!?)so I'm stuck with the "old" for now ...

I would like to hear from others who have had the same issue and if they have managed to resolve it.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] sub_rosa25:
@willpower102 - well, thanks for telling about the problem of not being able to run emulators in WM5. I was going to swallow my pride and give WM5 another chance, but that just confirmed me in my original conviction that WM 2003SE Phone Edition is far better.

I'm writing this in part to let WM2003SE users know what they will miss out on if they make the switch to WM5, as well as to let some less aware WM5 users know how they are limiting themselves.

As I've already said, I've never had a single problem like those described throughout this forum since upgrading to ROM 1.40 with Radio 1.15. Am I just lucky? (I'm in Jakarta, so using the ROM from O2 Asia - would that make any difference?)

What improvements to the camera have there been that I don't know I'm missing?

I can run DOS and Linux - even a pared-down version of Windows 98! - within WM2003SE (by emulating either the OS or the CPU), which makes compatibility with PCs basically a given. There are so many commandline DOS & Linux tools I use and need to have for interoperability with the OS of my colleagues.

I'd have to kiss all that good-bye if I switched to WM5. The trade-off for permanent storage isn't worth it; I use a 4 GB SD card, anyway. Also, third-party software can make W2KSE look brilliant while offering all that WM5 offers, but without the bugs and other drawbacks. For example, a solution to the "problem" of not having permanent storage, and an improvement on the feature, is to use an SD card (almost any capacity will do), and back up your entire system to it as a self-running, encrypted, compressed executable with Sprite Backup. In the unlikely event that you run out of power on the road (or even if hard reset occurs for ANY reason at all), charge your phone and run the backup file from the fresh system. Done.

With the crippling effects of the slower WM5, its incapability of running emulation, and having to use signed CABs and EXEs, thus not being able to run my favorite applications or install a personal security certificate, by switching to WM5 I would suffer not only a big security hit but the loss of entire galaxies of functionality.

Just wanted to ask a question to all the tech guru's who r reading this.. i have tried few WM5 Rom's available... thought IVAN w Ramdisk was the best but anyway... didn't find anything so great about the WM5 so i'm considering downgrading to WM2003 but my question is that can we get the KEYPAD of the WM2003 rom to look like WM2005.. Just the keypad... i like how you can see the pics on the keypad unlike 2003.. apparently thats the only thing i like about WM2005...

so pls advice... whether it can be done if yes.. how.. thanks alot.

I'm currently on my second tour of WM5. The first was a disaster I bought on ebay that wouldn't allow activesync. AT ALL. had to transfer all info to SD then to phone.

Needless to say, I was back to 2003SE shortly thereafter.

Then I came here and after a little dabbling around, I decided on Ivan's WM5. Solid execution and as close as can be, as pointed out by willpower. I must admit, the storage AND pocket msn taskbar are great selling points for me. There are the drawbacks and anyone looking to try an upgrade should be aware.

Having to disable bluetooth in order to keep the device from randomly turning on is annoying. point blank.

I disabled the events and keypad sounds which did speed things up significantly, but not enough to stop the WMP lag (If I skip ahead on a video, it literally takes over 10 seconds for the picture to come out of screen freeze and catch up with the audio). Annoying

I'm not one of the people who cry about the color bars on reset, because why are you resetting anyway?

After some thought and the fact I love to mess around with $600 pieces if merchandise, I am going to try 2003SE again, this time with the 1.42 1.13 rom with T-mobile. Been dying to check out the customizable splash screen I made.

Hey, what can I say, I'm a phone polygamist. I believe in being with multiple phone OS's.

This was created in response to several people asking the safest way to reinstall user apps after flashing a ROM.

**This post shows you how to do it yourself.

**Please check out the second post to see apps verified to work that will perform this for you.

As the title implies, this will show you an easy and safe way to reinstall your apps after a clean ROM flash. I made this easy to do and easy to understand, so experts and new users can figure it out.

YOU WILL OBVIOUSLY NEED TO BE ROOTED FOR THIS.

To do this you will need 3 or 4 things things on your phone.

1. Download the attached file below named "AppBackup.zip". This is the file structure to correctly flash user apps. I built it to only install apps in /data/app. More advanced users may edit it to include system files, but that is beyond the scope of this tutorial (for now).

2. From the Play Store, install a file explorer with root access capability. For this tutorial, I will be using ES File Explorer. (ROOT REQUIRED)

3. From the Play Store, install ZArchiver. this app creates zip and other format archive files.

4. (Optional) From the Play Store, install ZipSigner. This app signs the zip file.

View attachment 2547107

>>ES File Explorer

To enable ES File Explorer's root functions:

----continued

>>ZArchiver

**Note: ZArchiver's default location for completed zip files is in /storage/emulated/0/archives. You may change the destination in settings.

>>Optional ZipSigner

I list this as optional, because the "AppBackup" file should flash fine without being re-signed. But, I will show it to you, nonetheless!

YOU ARE DONE!

If you have questions or suggestions on how to make this tutorial better, please let me know!!

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
Apps that can do it for you:

>> Titanium Backup w/Pro Key.

A Pro version feature will allow you to create an Update Zip file for any backed up app. There are many other features that make the purchase of the Pro Key worth the $$!

>> ZipMe

A stand alone program by JRummy. This program is listed as in beta, but has not been updated since mid 2013. It seems to work, but may have bugs. JRummy's main focal app "ROM Toolbox Pro" has this functionality slated to be included in a future update.

Other useful tip regarding backup of files and data:

-You never know what may happen. So when you back up anything, put it on your external sd card (odin wipes everything internal, including internal sd storage - thanks [MENTION=2119827]Grompy[/MENTION] ).

-Any experienced PC owner has lost things and learned to back up to cd or external hard drives. SD cards can fail. I make it a habit to back up my ext sd card at least once a month. My laptop then gets backed up to an external hard drive. Trust me. Don't learn this habit the hard way!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Grompy:
Will this work for apps that require lib files in /data/app-lib/? Like chrome, adobe reader, es file explorer etc..
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] LeftyGR:
Yes. I use this method to install tibu and es file explorer after a rom flash, and never have problems.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] themoneyman:
Check out a new app from JRummy Apps called ZIPme. It is in beta but seems to work great and does it all.

Hey guys after losing all my backed up data, I just wanted to warn everyone to make sure that you back up everything to your external SD card when you use odin.

I've since changed my backup location of titanium backup to my external and urge you all to do the same.
