I'm new to Rooting and I was wondering if I flashed lets say to a new rom weather it is 2.2 or 2.1 and I don't like it or something dosen't work. Can I just flash the most current nandroid backup to return or do I have to flash the old rom that I was using then the nandroid backup on top of that ??

Using Rooted Evo with OMJ update 147.651.1
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SteelH:
You sure can as long as the new ROM you flash is also a rooted ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdesando:
So basically I can jump from rom to rom to see what I like and just flash my backup to return to the original.... Cool.thanks

Just returned to a nand backup last night. First time ever and worked fine...(I did a titanium backup first as had messages and app changes.)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquenameevo:
How perfect, a simple search answered my exactl question.

I can run three roms and as long asI refresh my nandroids before flipping to another to restore I will miss very little. Only issue I can think of is let's say I run stock rooted for a week, and flip to a nandroid of CM6 for a week, then back to stock rooted...I would not have text messages from that time. I can fix that with TiBackup.

Am I missing anything? And, thanks to the people making me do all this stuff to my phone :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
Nope you havent missed anything :) Thats what i do all the time :) I believe for a certain period of time something else backs up texts as well because i often get all my texts back after a few minutes even those after the nandroid.

I've seen people having issues when using Titanium to restore apps and data from a 2.1 backup to 2.2 rom and vice versa. I think if you're just cycling between 2.2 roms, you should be ok though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uniquenameevo:
All I needed to know, thanks!

I'll only rotate 2.2 roms, no need to look back, but I appreciate that note also.

I use MyBackup to backup APKS+DATA when jumping from 2.1 to 2.2 and vice versa ROMS without issue. Love it, love it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
I have been cycling between the 2 a LOT here is what i have found works. when you select to restore all apps/data look through the list and uncheck all the 2.1 system apps (ie checkin_update 2.1, google_search_update 2.1) once you do this you can restore everything else no problem. I have used ths method at least 10 times with no issues back and forth. If you backed up on 2.2 do the same thing just uncheck the 2.2 version of this information.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Can someone clarify the difference between backing up via:

#1 Nandroid

#2 Titanium Backup

What exactly is or isn't backed up? I'm assuming Nandroid misses certain things otherwise no one would use TB?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
titanium backup is just for apps

nandroid restore is like restoring an image of your hard drive to your pc. it not only restores the apps, but the entire ROM (barring radio and wimax radio).

i.e., you have a ROM going. you use titanium backup to backup your apps. then, do a nandroid backup and flash an entire new ROM. then, you could use titanium backup to put the apps back on. then, you would use nandroid restore to go back to the old ROM, completely. with nandroid, you can flip-flop between ROMs with everything that you had when you backed it up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Thank you so much that makes it quite clear! I was struggling with that for a while :)

So Titanium Backup backs things up that are generally able to be carried from one ROM to the next without problem? I noticed that it also does backup system settings (notifications, etc) which is great. These things generally won't corrupt a new ROM file right?

So with 2.2 backing up apps and their data, the main draw of TB would be the backing up of system settings?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XevoX:
How long does it take to complete a nandroid restore? I tried to restore a backup yesterday and it was taking over three hours! I said f' it and pulled out the battery, luckily I was able to boot into recovery and wipe/flash fresh's 2.2 ROM from scratch.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Should only take 5 minutes or so, about as long as it takes to flash a new ROM.

Yes, but it could potentially be problematic to just start restoring things in bulk from a TB backup between different ROMs, even if they are the same base build. Read flipz's rant on the subject.

[Wildfire General] warriorvibhu:
Unnecessary images(gps etc),sounds(From Gps etc),Showing up in gallery/music

Ok Here are two Simple solutions ::

1><NOT RECOMMENDED> This solution basically helps is hiding the contents of a particular folder and might cause problems with the apps which are linked to those files..It is advisable to be used for images you don't want to show up in gallery and are not associated with any app eg GPS..

-Open Astro / Androzip or whatever file manager/explorer you are using and create a folder named “.anyname” and then mount your phone or mini-SD card on a computer.

-Transfer private files into the new folder and they will no longer appear in the photo browser. Browsing through Astro or a similar file manager will become the only method of viewing those photos on an Android phone.

2> <HIGHLY RECOMMENDED>

- On your computer, open Notepad or any other text editor

-Save the blank file as “.nomedia” . Make sure that the Save as type is

​

set as “All Files” instead of “Text documents”

-Copy that file to the folder on your SD card containing audio files you

​

don’t want to show up.

(Example: If you want to block CoPilot sound files from coming up, place the .nomedia file in the sdcard/copilot folder)

-Reboot your phone and the files should no longer be viewable

This same trick works for folders containing images or videos that you don’t want to appear in the Gallery app. The files will still be accessible from your original app or an explorer like Astro or Linda or Androzip, but you’ll finally be able to stop hearing “From the next roundabout take the first exit" announcements after a great song.

Hi all,

Does anyone know where's the SGS's LDI? Is it also like iphone in the headphone jack. Just wna be sure :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wj04:
Samsung vibrant ldi

I know that there is one on the edge of the battery, one on the inside just behind the battery and then one under the circuits and behind the screen close to the volume buttons. I am not sure about the headphone jack or if there are others though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romancastevet:
Pictures of the Liquid Damage Indicators INSIDE the SGS, please?

All I know is that my SGS doesn't even have that one LDI that's supposedly placed in the battery compartment. But I have seen it in other people's phones.

It's like a little white sticker with the shape of a square placed right in between the 'battery-phone contact spot' (no idea how that's called in english) and the sticker with "phone model, IMEI 8687..., made in Korea, blah blah, etc". But as I mentionned already, mine doesn't have it. It only has the square mark where it should be placed, but no sticker at all. I've also read and concluded that it depends on your cellphone's carrier, so it's not necessarely a bad thing that you don't have it, nor it means you've somehow lost it. Sometimes it's just that it comes that way, LDI-less from the factory itself. Why? Just because, your manufacturers wanted that way.

About others Liquid Damage Indicators INSIDE the phone -behind the screen by the volume buttons, and another by headphone jack as "wj04" mentionned, or somewhere else- , I couldn't tell, haven't checked yet and got no idea what they'd possibly look like... May be someone certain of it could attach couple of pictures so we all would know what should we be looking for? Thanks a lot.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamadawg:
My mac is unable to detect my phone since I flashed Cyan 6 Test 8 Koush, as such I am unable to use adb. Given that I use a mac I assume this is not a driver issue. Phone is able to recharge via USB and USB debugging is enabled. I have found this issue (USB Brick) for the desire on this site but it involves flashing a rom unique to that device. Any ideas on how to resolve issue? Other than USB brick issue, everything is in order.

My card reader is able to read SD card and I have copied to my HD, so I assume issue is with USB on phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeeBG:
The only thing I can think of is that your phone somehow got stuck on "Charge Only" mode. In the stock version you can go to Settings, Connect to PC and then change some options there... I do not use this rom though so I'm sorry I can't help you other any further (I'm sure you likely already knew about the above info... if no one responds to you with an answer within a couple days I'd consider asking the Indian Prince of Roms himself... and I know he uses a Mac).

I recently had the same issue - on a PC - where my CM6 test 8 install would charge but not register as a USB device and give me device malfunction warning messages. Turns out it was a problem with a non-HTC branded micro USB cable I was using.

Odd thing is it worked fine for a month or so, then decided to not work anymore out of any USB port. Switching over to the original cable fixed the problem. Now the other cable is relegated to the stock charger.

Thank you. I am on the road, so I won't be able to implement your solution until later. The procedure you outlined seems simple enough. I will reread. Is it ok if I email you with any questions, or would you prefer that I address my questions via this forum?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamadawg:
Funny thing is that I did not notice the problem until I changed cables. I was using a third party w/no problems, problem only surfaced when I used original cable. Hopefully I will have same luck as you, if not, adrynalyne posted near idiot proof instructions. I just hope that I am brighter than your average idiot, no promises.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamadawg:
adrynalyne, if my hboot is .77 could I simply flash PBI131.img to revert back to original? If not, could I use terminal emulator on my phone to execute necessary commands?

Answer from adrynalyne was "Well, yeah. the PB31IMG.zip should work, as long as it lets you. The other method would need to be done if it won't."

I was able to resolve the problem by switching usb cord to a 3rd party from htc, go figure. Nevertheless, the USB issue has been cited in other forums and if anybody else runs into the problem, follow directions above, i.e. follow links.

TY to all who gave me advice, esp. adrynalyne.

How to copy notes voice message and run through any mp3 player on my Windows Vista laptop.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
So I was thinking since I have been downloading, trying, messing, uninstalling, installing etc etc

You get the picture.

Was thinking of giving my Galaxy a bit of a clean.

So my thoughts were:

Option A

1. Make a record of what programs I actually like not what I have installed.

Maybe screen shots might be the idea.

2. Factory data reset my Galaxy.

3. Unmount and format my internal memory

4. Unmount and format my SDCard

5. Do settings and account

6. Install applications.

7. Transfer music.

Sound like a good idea??

Option B

Someone said I should clean out what applications I don't want first and suggested an easier method.

1. Backup data and system settings with BackupPro

2. Backup applications with AppMonster

3. Factory reset.

4. Unmount and format my internal memory

5. Unmount and format my SDCard

6. Install applications Appmonster

7. Install settings and data BackupPro

8. Transfer music.

Which option would be better. Would I get some bad data if I did Option B.

Advice greatfully received.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BenF1:
MyBackup (a back up program :P) lets you choose what programs to backup.

You could just backup what you need you want to keep, hard reset it, and put what you want back on.

Thats my suggestion. I'll be doing this soon, I've been messing around so much with it!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
Yeah one of my options is to do this.

I have folders and junk left over from Applications I have uninstalled.

If I installed Clockwork will it be removed with a Factory Data reset or should I flash the phone again with JM2.?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r3loaded2010:
ClockworkMod is stored on the internal SD card, so a factory reset shouldn't remove it (I'm not sure if flashing a firmware wipes the internal SD though).

Try TitaniumBackup for your backup needs.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] appelflap:
Why do you want to format the SDCard? Is that really necessary? Does it really improve the performance? (I hope not, transfering 14Gb of music files is just too much)

And, do you a perform a factory reset from the settings/privacy menu on the galaxy or from the bootscreen (that is triggered by adb reboot command). I have the idea that the first option is much more thorough than the second.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ancient_One:
For JP2 their was a noticable improvement after reformating the SDCard.

Since I have a lot of left over folders and what's not was thinking this could be a good time to clean up.

I would use the Settings>Privacy>Factory Data Reset.

As far as I could tell from the comments the Exploid root would work even after I had updated with the newly available official OTA for my E10i. It took 3 tries to download the OTA on the phone. The phone then said it would begin the update and then it turned itself off. It has been off now for the last hour and any attempt to wake it has been fruitless. How is OTA supposed to work anyway? How long should the update take and how should it proceed? How can I get my phone to respond again?
