I've been using GMobileSync from http://rareedge.com/ and in my opinion it's the best of the calendar sync tools. No need to sign up to websites etc, just install and run. I use it with 'Google Apps for Your Domain Beta' (catchy name!) which basically means that my Google calendar is 'skinned' with my own domain, including the login. So if I give it the user ID of mariom@mypersonaldomain.com and the password, it still works.

I'm going to try and figure out how to schedule this to sync automatically, maybe a couple of times a day.

That's a sound mod isn't it? It just modifies system files? It has no need to for an unlocked bootloader, As to whether it works or not, sounds mods have their fans and their haters. Try it and see.

I heard that the Note 10.1 2012 got finally the KitKat Update but Kies say that my firmware is allready the newest.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismin13:
Are you sure Germany got the KitKat update? What about the device, does it find the update under About Device > Software Update? If not, you'll have to wait for Samsung to release the update in your country. And if your device is rooted or modded it won't update by itself, you'll have to do it manually.

hi,

I have a rooted s5 and was going to encrypt the phone then factory reset to make sure the data cant be recovered easily. Having just tried to do it i think being rooted is not allowing me to encyprt.

Would formatting data on TWRP give me the same results and make my phone delete everything??

thank you
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fffft:
Most people know enough to "factory reset data" before selling a device. And that does make your user data inaccessible to a normal user. It would not protect you from someone using data recovery software as many read in a recent article.

Formatting or repartitioning will make a would be spy's job incrementally harder. But it won't truly guarantee that your data is irrecoverable. If you know your way around the command line, you could script dd to overwrite the /data partition with several alternating passes of 1's, and 0's to obliterate your personal details. Using dd is dangerous though if you don't understand dd syntax and partition addressing.

Pragmatically, do a search of the app store to see if anyone has made a data wipe utility that supports the S5. If not, then there is an advanced Odin option to wipe the NAND that should suffice. You can find XDA threads explaining it's use.

So i knew that after that factory reset all my datas will be lost , so i've been looking for fews software to recover all my datas but i can't find none to work out....

does any of u have any suggestions ? or if u used a software to restore ur data from the internal sd ?

Thanks and hope i'll get ll my data back :finger-crossed:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechGirl90:
Hello, I used LG Backup to to restore my data, but I'm afraid that since you did a factory reset on your device, you have no data of to restore, UNLESS you backed up some data on your computer and unless your Google account backed up some of your data, but other than that, you have lost all your data.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christian Nothing:

all i need is my music and photos and etc... whatever i had in my intsd :rolleyes:

oh bummer :(:rolleyes:

maybe one of those apps to recover files will work ?

but since our phones cant make an usb mass storage connection , only mtp or lg software , the ussual apps i use to recover my deleted files doesn't see my phone :mad:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechGirl90:
Next time if anything goes wrong with your device again, backup all your music,photos,videos, etc using LG Backup app on the LG G2, and heres what I did, once LG Backup completed the backup I've made, I go to my computer and plug in my device and set the method to MTP, then I look for a folder called "LG Backup" I copy this file and paste it onto my desktop, and so that once I've factory reseted my device, I can just go to my computer again, plug in my device as MTP, copy the LG Backup file, and paste it into the LG Backup folder that's inside my device, and my personal files will be restored.[emoji4]
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christian Nothing:
i'm sorry if i may sound rude !

but how could i use lg backup if the phone partitions was corrupted and i couldn't boot the rom ?

i had accessible the internal storage via twrp recovery but as u know u cant mount a usb connection while in recovery ...

the only way i could make it boot again was to wipe all , and i thought(i will never thought this thing again) that i could use a software to recover my files but it seems any softwares doesnt sees the mtp connection :rolleyes:

and i didnt had planned to corrupt my system partition while working on my port :rolleyes:

and i'm sorry again if i am rude , but the exhausting and the nerves i had last few hrs kinda makes me a bad person :rolleyes::eek:

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60nine:
twrp has an internal file manager (under advanced menu)...

so if you didn't wipe/format sd card but only system partition you can copypaste folders/files to external usb otg stick directly from twrp

or did you wipe absolutely everything?

thanks for understanding tho :good:

at that moment i didn't thought that i'll have to wipe even the internal to brig the phone alive again :rolleyes:

only after flashing the kdz firmware and ended up in a new bootloop but this time i got in the logs that the rom was booting only that the internal was detected corrupted too , and i had no other option since i had no recovery left after kdz to perform a factory reset :rolleyes:

i had a nandroid backup which i restored of my previous working rom build with all my apps and data but since that nandroid backup didn't included the internal sd files those weren't restored :rolleyes:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 60nine:
well i'm sorry then :(

it seems we all learn the hard way...

i hope someone knows the other way to recover (or even try)...

i.e. if only phone could be recognized on PC as an usb storage device and then trying to point some recovery program to that partition (don't know if this is possible at all with our phone)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Christian Nothing:
Agree.

If our phone would have a way of setting the connection to pc as mass storage i might be able to restore or recover some data , but since there isn't, all I'm just saying is "screw u lg software" ?

I'm guessing the main problem is that I cant access my system to turn adb on. So I followed the steps and installed the drivers.

When I try to install the drivers in recovery mode(phone was recognized as AOSP on Hammerhead with a yellow warning triangle) it says that no driver was found..

adb works in custom recovery, not bootloader. You do not need USB debugging (this is an Android setting only) or to turn "adb on", so lets bust those myths right here ;)

Hi,

have got m3100 which is stuck on the winodws mobile screen...so tried everything frm the wiki page and now want to try flash it thru the sd card.

I have got 512mb MicroSD ...

can someone pls explain me abt the root folder...i just copied the HERMIMG.nbh onto the sdcard and the screen wont go beyond "checking".

i dont knw abt the Root folder...how shall i create it? if anybody can help me pls :)

thx in advance! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
The root folder means the folder which "holds" all other folders: If your microSD card is on "F:", the root folder of your microSD card is "F:\".

It is on the instructions to make sure you don't copy the NBH file in "F:\My Documents\".

The card has to be formatted in fat32 and empty: should only contain HERMIMG.nbh in the root folder ;)

The NBH image must match the CID on your device: You have a M3100 and there's no shipped rom with "ORANG001" CID, most probably your problem is this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] XtremeGG:
Hi pof...thanks for ya explaination.

if there is no shipped rom..does that mean..the HERMIMG.nbh file i got frm wiki...it wont work?

thanks agn :)

P.S. yes...i downloaded the Orange one frm wiki...if that doesnt come with ROM...can i flash it with the Radio ROM u supplied for the unlock? rename it HERMIMG.nbh
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
M3100 from Orange UK has CID: ORANG001

The rom on the wiki is from Orange Romania and has CID: ORANG008

You need to use a NBH file with the same CID on your device.

You can make your device SuperCID to avoid this restriction:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyuiop89:
Hi all,

I have well and truly messed up my phone - I can't seem to get past the bootloader screen (if i try to access recovery, it goes into a bootloop). I have installed the Android SDK, Fastboot, ADP, and can't seem to get the phone to be recognised.

Any tips?

I've searched in vain - all the tutorials seem to assume that you can get fastboot to work, which I can't!

Please help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosmint:
If you're able to get the bootloader into fastboot mode but the device is not recognized by your PC, it's most likely a driver issue on the computer. ADB won't help you in that stage as it requires a running Android or recovery to work. So first thing you have to do is to get fastboot working.

I suppose you've tried the "fastboot devices" command with no success? If so try to get the appropriate USB drivers up and running. Once you've done that you can take it from there, flash a custom recovery and a custom ROM. Or you might be able to flash back a stock RUU, depending on your setup - locked/unlocked and S-ON/S-OFF.

There are plenty tutorials how to do that. But first you have to get fastboot working.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyuiop89:
Thank you very much for your response!

I followed your advice and got Fastboot working, and relocked the phone.

Now I've tried flashign various RUU files (which don't work - either erro 158, or error 14o bootloader version error)

(My phone has image version 1.29.401.12, and I tried the following RUUs:

RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe

I tried instead installing a recovery using the HTC One all in one toolkit, but I get the "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" error if I try to flash either CWM or TWRP.

Any ideas what to do next?

My bootloader screen currently shows:

TAMPERED

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosmint:
It's weird the RUUs don't flash. But anyhow, the custom recovery was a perfectly good idea. Yet you cannot flash one if the bootloader is locked. You have to unlock it again and then flash recovery.

After that you could go and flash a custom ROM. Just about any M7 ROM will do, you just need a working Android. Once done you might wanna look into the procedures to get yourself S-OFF. Use Rumrunner or Firewater (pls use search).

Once you're S-OFF you can happily go and flash any M7 RUU you like, regardless its version. Or - as you're already there - you could look into custom ROMs. There are plenty good ones out there. Whatever you prefer. Good luck.
