Soft vs. Hard reset

Looks like there is some confusion between hard reset and soft reset. Soft reset (only inserting the stylus in the soft reset hole in the base of the device) will keep all data but restart Windows Mobile. Hard reset (inserting the stylus in the soft reset hole while holding down two soft buttons) will clear ALL data and return the device to factory default settings (plus OEM customisations).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pietrucci:
Indeed, I was wrong: with a hardreset also the personal files like contacts, calendar are cleared. I was strongly unter the impression that they remained...

But I'm quite sure after doing a Clear memory once, I couldn't restore my backup because some of my program certificates were gone... And after a normal hardreset restore is never a problem.

It could be an incident or is there more???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] brettatk:
I've noticed that when you want to do a restore it is best to do a hard reset first. There always seems to be a few problems when you are trying to restore without performing a hard reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pietrucci:
Reopening this matter: I discovered that after a hardreset the content of the map My documents on the device stays intact! Maybe more maps/files???
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] embeeowes:
Clear Storage

Possibly, Clear Storage does not initiate the OEM customisation of the device like the hard reset does (which may mean some required files are missing). Can't say for sure unfortunately as I have never used Clear Storage before only the hard reset.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] embeeowes:
Backup/Restore

Agreed! I have had problems before when restoring from Sprite backups without first performing a hard reset.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kempas:
Have been holding out on KK on mine and haven't kept up to date with pros/cons. Updated my Note 10.1 2014 to KK the other day and it seems fine (SD card access for some apps I was concerned about is okay) so wondering if there is any recommendation not to go official KK on my Note II...

e.g. is battery life at least s good?

Response?

Any issues...?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] optimusPRIME:
Battery life is ok. but if youwant full control over extSdcard then you must root your device first.

Btw, official KK is much more stable.

hi,there is no any twrp or cwm ported for grand 2 LTE sm-g7105 i request developers to please make cwm cause I'm not able to install any mods without CWM.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaseemAlkurdi:
Tried the G7102's CWM? No difference, as in my old Galaxy Star, the same build of CWM worked on two variants.

Technically, there shouldn't be a difference.

If it failed, you can simply fix using Odin.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasim799:
yes I tried sm-g7102 recovery when it boots it goes into downloading mode and says could not do normal boot
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaseemAlkurdi:
You're using 4.3 recovery on 4.4.2.

That's it.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasim799:
my device doesn't received 4.4.2 yet so I am running android 4.3 and i think i am flashing 4.4.2 recovery on 4.3 so tell me recoveries which were made for 4.3 on sm-g7102 hope that works
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaseemAlkurdi:
I'm sure that this would work.

Use the older PhilZ Touch 6.48 for 4.3.

You can find it in the recovery section.

Make sure you use the old release, not the new KitKat one.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasim799:
tried but failed i also updated to kitkat 4.4.2 and tried the kitkat recovery it also failed i think there 's a qualcomm secure bootloader but it should also be on sm-g7102 how this recovery works on that device.CWM should be ported for this device seperately because this device has a different case.
[Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaseemAlkurdi:
Secure Boot doesn't affect anything.

Make sure you use a 4.4.2 recovery on 4.4.2.

Redownload as to eliminate mix-up between recoveries.

Hi guys! I have the italian firmware for the i9195, i9195XXUBML4. I have alredy tripped my knox, so i don't care about the warranty...

If i flash the GT-I9195XXUCNH5_R1 deodexed from [MENTION=4612760]ladislav.heller[/MENTION], will i face problem with modem or something else? I already have some experience with my ex s advance and with my current tablet ( tab2) wich are both with cyano, so i can understand something ;)

I cannot try it because if i flash something i want to be sure that it is compatible with my phone, i wouldn't brick it

Sorry for the bad english xD
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sasank360:
[MENTION=5472790]Alecotro[/MENTION] Before flashing that ROM you must upgrade your modem to cnh5. Links for that modem are on the ROM's thread.

When u download that modem file extract it and flash it with ODIN as PDA / AP. Repeat and verify if your modem changed. Check baseband in settings>about phone for confirmation. Once u are done upgrading the modem u can flash the ROM via custom recovery.

Without modem u will face connectivity issues and force closes. I am using that ROM and it is perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alecotro:
Thank you very much! Will the different modem have problem italian carrier like wind (don't know if you know it)? Cause with my s advance i always had the same baseband whatever the rom i flashed...

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] roerisi:
very happy for you !!!!:D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] dillalade:
Brilliant. Where did you make the purchase... And are you uk resident?

(Assuming you bought direct from Sony, hence your device arrived from them, whereas clove/handtek are receiving there devices today to then send out to us today-maybe tomorrow depending upon time of day.)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BlackVN:
I am from Germany and i purchase it direct from Sony Germany because clove and handtek didn't take the creditcard.

But there is only the normal headphone. :(
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] cschmitt:
What headset is included, the MDR-NC31E noise cancelling or other?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] n1Koo:
German package includes only normal HP without NC
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] skycamefalling:
It's the same everywhere...only the "normal" headset is included in the box, no NC-headphone this time.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LadFromWales85:
Screen protector in box?
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BlackVN:
No.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LadFromWales85:

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] LadFromWales85:
I've had a bunch of Sony phones and all have come with a protector in the box. Perhaps included to protect the shatter protector though...!

Newer handsets not having a shatter protector perhaps means no in box protector :( hope my Roxfit comes with the phone :)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] skycamefalling:
I never had a screen protector in the box of my Sony phones. And I had all the flagship-models since the Acro S.

Maybe this was depending on the location.

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] sxtester:

On the content: No surprises and nothing to complain over here since this was clear to see while placing the order.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] BlackVN:

Yes! It is not default package. It included for first orders!
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] nugie14:
okay.. thanks bro..

i think in my country may get the same package, get the standard MH-750

in the first review i saw on gsm*rena they said this phone get the MDR-NC31E (noice cancelling).

but some unboxing videos not, haha..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon-G:
I've been trying during the last few hours to flash CWM/TWRP to my S4. Before starting, my phone was simply rooted (with CF-auto-root and Odin).

So I ran

fastboot oem unlock

and now I'm trying to flash with

fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>

, but I keep getting the following error:

sending 'recovery' (9588 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.419s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: FAILSecure - Secure check failed)
finished. total time: 1.224s

(This one is from a run with recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-jfltexx.img, I also tried openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-jgedlte.img and got the same error).

I ran

fastboot erase recovery

to see if it would help, but it did not do any better in the next tries to flash.

Now, I DID manage to boot into CWM with

fastboot boot recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.7-jfltexx.img

, but I rather flash it (Especially now that I erased the stock recovery.)

I also tried Odin and Heimdall, but Odin simply crashes when I hit "Start" and Heimdall fails to to communicate with my phone.

EDIT: Great. When booting with "fastboot boot", TWRP's touch doesn't work. CWM's touch doesn't work either, so I use the non-touch version, but when trying to install CM with ADB sideload, adb on my PC doesn't recognize CWM. What am I supposed to do now...?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffrey268:
This process will trigger knox to 0x1

1. Download the recovery you want:

Download philz touch revovery from here:

https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/jflte/?page=4 (download the one with .tar.md5 extension)

Download TWRP here:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltexx (download the one with .tar extension)

2. Download odin3 (v3.10.0) here:

https://mega.co.nz/#!OANlQZBS!GIq9q4Yy72syVYh36Q2whYIg85PST0QJhtIBrRh5MCk

3. Connect your phone in download mode to your PC (Don't reboot into download mode, shut down your phone and then boot into download mode) (you may have to install the driver, here: https://mega.co.nz/#!HQd12QYY!wuM2FvxmScI8rQIdosPaS6CLcvI4-yJNHHOiR3Rv0I0)

4. Open Odin click AP button, choose the file you downloaded and then click start.

5. Your phone will reboot, shut down your phone and try to boot into recovery (hold volume up and home and then press and hold power button release the power button when the blue text appears but keep pressing volume up and home, release those when the screen goes black).

6. You should now be in your chosen recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
You are giving him instructions for the I9505. I think he has a I9505G, so he should not follow your instructions. You are giving him a recovery for the I9505. The I9505G is a different model.

If Heimdall fails to communicate with your phone, then you don't have the correct drivers installed. TWRP doesnt have a non touch version. So my guess is that you flashed the recovery for a different device.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
If the phone is already rooted just use ROM Manager or TWRP Manager apps from Google Play.

Both will just wipe out and overwrite any existing recovery image and replace it with the one you want. Problem solved right from the phone. No ADB shell needed.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon-G:
Thanks guys. I managed to flash both philz (That link you gave me, although it is for I9505 and I do have a I9505G) and TWRP.

Both work, but besides them the phone is completely bricked. :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
If you can boot to recovery the phone is not a complete brick.

Once you are in recovery you can flash anything you want. You should be able to flash any new ROM and it will boot right up.

I have an 02 XDA IIs on 2003 updated to most recent software for 2003 via o2 site etc

Ok so I took my PDA away for a few days over christmas and the batterry ran down, and I had forgot the charger so obviously it wouldnt turn on.

I got home and put it in the charger cradle, and it wanted to do a hard reset, so I went through with that and after a few seconds the screen goes black and it then goes ding and up comes hard reset again.

It does not hard reset at a certain point of setup as if you do the process quicker it will still hard reset say after, 10-20 seconds, usually the same every time I think.

Whilst off the cradle, you cannot even switch it on and no light shows or soft reset does not work.

In the cradle only the above which I described happens...

Any help is much appreciated

Have you checked your sync port?

Sounds to me like pins 20,21,22 may be damaged in your charger (sync) port, one may be touching the body of the port and causing a short, creating a hard reset. Also this might be the reason why it is not charging. IMHO regards

hi sam england

is your cradle plugged into the wall socket? usb does NOT provide enough energy for the device to 'survive' the reboot. i have this 'problem' almost every time i let i discharge to much. :(

Rooting is actually the first and easiest step to begin your journey on android developing, if you can't root, you won't succeed in android development. Don't worry, I will help you with root.

To root your device, I highly recommend Kongo android root(PC), it not only covers a really great amount of device, but is also able to unroot your device, all it takes is just a click after you plugged your device into the PC. Or if you don't want to use the PC, you can install an app that will help. It is called vroot, it is Chinese, so it might be a little hard for you to understand.
