yeah, just use titanium backup and delete unwanted apps, and if you're unsure about some apps you can freeze them, so they won't start or be shown in your app drawer, but for freezing you'll have to have titanium pro

sorry if this is not in the right topic, but i also have one question about debranding:

i want to replace my stock firmware and change it to nordic (for earlier updates), but i want to know

if it is possible to backup my current firmware that came with phone, so that i can put it again in my phone if i ever wanted?

is it possible to somehow backup some relevant files in seus directory and restore them if needed to restore my stock firmware? and if is so, what are that files to backup?

thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Use xRecovery.
[XPERIA X10 General] bojler:
thanks, i'll try xrecovery! but i'm interested if it's also possible to save some pccompanion or seus update files to be sure my current firmware is backed up. and if it is possible, what are those files to back up? cheers!

I suggest you follow the above link and flash to stock. It's very simple.. takes me 10 mins to get back to stock and up and I have only done this 2 times. There are people who do it several times a week.

I suggest you go for Darky's 8.0 ROM if you're new. It's one of the best.

Whoa there, buddy! How about not posting with the giant font, not double posting, posting an actual subject (not just [Q]).

I don't think there is an official 6.5.3 update from Sprint. You can flash a custom ROM with 6.5.3. Go to the CDMA subforum. Read the top thread about how to HardSPL, then go to the 3rd post and pick a ROM.

Guys,

I think I broke my phone. Rather, just broke.

I tried to fix the memory. I went to the extreme measure - use of tools mtty.

While using the tools I have turned off the light.

Now the phone in bootloader shows

aaaaaaa HX-BC

SPL-1.66.0000 XE

MicroP (LED) 0x05

MicroP (Touch) 0x50

When I insert a USB flash drive with the firmware, it will first moment it loads and then it starts to crawl. A red 0058002

In the OS it is not included. Shows the RGD, but the download does not go.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzatlacael:
so you might have downloaded the latest version from another source.

:P

I wish I could find a valid copy of the black glass keyboard...
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
Yeah, technically, whoever you downloaded that swype package from, unless it was swype's site, is distributing it illegally, since it's a closed source and licensed app. The only ROM it is distributed in here is the rooted stock ROM that came with swype, since it's licensed for that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tzatlacael:
Is that the one from stock the same called black glass keyboard? I had a copy, but like the rest, it said it had expired, I wonder if it was pulled out of stock or was it a beta too?

I honestly don't know, sorry. I never really use swype, I've only interacted with it once or twice, I prefer Latin IME. I didn't know they came in different themes. If it expired, I would assume it was the beta, since the one in the stock ROM doesn't expire, I don't think.

[Nook Color General] thisisjjd:
I just auto-nooted a new NC and am very pleased so far.

I also tried NookieFroyo which is encouraging, but too slow for general use presumably due to running of the SD. But while running it, I noticed that the version of SoftKeys it uses allows one to move the buttons around.

Back in auto-nooted version, I went to the market and found a newer version available. When I try to download it, the installation fails saying that there is a problem with the keys.

Has anyone successfully installed the latest Soft Keys on an auto-nooted NC? Care to share?

Thanks,

--Jim--
[Nook Color General] lucifurious:
First off, get Button Savior. It's much better. Secondly, I found out that you can swipe left on the status bar to go back. This eliminates 99% of the problems from no back button.

Sent from my Nook Color
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
I had soft keys 3.0 and last night I went to the market and downloaded it from there and everything worked, now I have 3.0.4 installed. You could try to remove the apk from the app directory and then try to install from the market
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
I disagree. I had Button Savior for a while but it was extremely annoying that no matter where I put it, it would eventually be in the place that I had to click something; whether it be a button in an app, a game, or the keyboard (if I put it somewhere in the lower half of the screen).

The problem is of course, that you can't move the tab without exiting whatever app you're in (and for games, that sometimes means killing your progress).

With SoftKeys, you can move it around whenever you feel like, without having to exit the app you're using. Infinitely better.

Anyway, thanks for the tip about the swiping on the status bar. I did not know that!
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Button Savior is annoying, I hate having to tap the little arrow as much as I hated tapping it for Softkeys before I set it up to use the Nook Hardware button; something Button Savior can not do..

http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Default_Launcher

As for the OP, just update in the market, works fine.
[Nook Color General] thisisjjd:
It doesn't work for me. The download completes, and then after it attempts the installation, I get the error:

Installation Error
Package file was not signed correctly.

I haven't seen this on any other market installations.

Khaytsus, I notice from your signature that you Auto-nooted from 1.0.1 whereas I Auto-nooted from 1.0. I wonder if that is the difference? I rooted from 1.0 thinking that it might provide more flexibility later -- and I hadn't heard anything about 1.0.1 that indicated I needed to start there.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Wouldn't think so... Dunno.
[Nook Color General] thisisjjd:
Sure enough, I re-auto-nooted after upgrading to 1.0.1 and then I could download SoftKeys from the market just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
I had been using Visionary to temp root, and decided to go for S-OFF. I uninstalled Visionary, rebooted, and followed the wiki instructions

-pushed the gfree temp root files

-ran the rage command in terminal, succeeded, ran gfree -s off, no problem

-Then, when trying /data/local/tmp/root, I got a bunch of busybox input/output error messages.

-I tried re-installing visionary r14 and temp rooting, but that didn't succeed either.

So I did a factory reset, attempted again, no luck. I tried the rage method listed here (pushing hboot & wpthis, etc)-

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834228

and still /data/local/tmp/root doesn't work.

Powering on with volume down shows that I'm S-OFF, but I can't seem to get anywhere when trying to make the root stick. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Did you run this command? Immediately after you run gfree you are supposed to:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
Yes, that's the command that gives the busybox I/O errors.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Can you post the actual busybox errors? That might help to debug...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Do you have a G2 or a Desire Z? I know the newer Desire Z builds can't directly be rooted and have to be downgraded first.

If you temp root using Visionary or rage does the temp root (you have root until reboot) even work?

I'm guessing you did not have the chance to load a new recovery. If you did or if you can you could probably load a different ROM to get permanent root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
It looks like it can't write to /system. I suspect that the disabling of the NAND write protection failed.

Which wpthis module did you use, and what error message did you get when you did the "insmod" command ? If you don't get the "correct" error message then the procedure won't work.

I recommend the gfree method from the Wiki, which dynamically generates its own kernel module. But it should be possible via the older rage method too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
I used wpthis-OTA.ko from this thread- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=834228 (the rage method)

the error message on insmod is-

insmod: init_module '/data/local/wpthis-OTA.ko' failed (function not implemented)

The gfree method from the wiki was the first thing I tried, the only difference is that I used gfree -s off rather than gfree -f.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
ok, that's the correct error message so the write protection did get disabled ok.

Try manually running the commands from the "root" script one at a time at that point, from the root prompt. It's just a script and so you can open it up on your PC as a text file and copy and paste the lines one at a time (ignore the lines starting with a # in the script, they are comments).

I'm starting to wonder if Visionary has corrupted your file system, which does unfortunately happen sometimes.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
I don't think running the script manually is working either, here's the output-

#/system/bin/sh

# /data/local/tmp/busybox killall rage

killall: rage: no process killed

# mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25

Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

cp: can't create '/system/xbin/busybox': File exists

# chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox

Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: Read-only file system

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Those errors are actually ok (given you haven't started again from the top), except for the mount failing.

Try "mount -o rw, remount /system"
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
chmod still comes back with 'read-only file system.'
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Did the mount work ? I.e. returned no error message ?

Did you do the insmod in this session ? You will have to do that to break the write protection, then the mount and chmod etc should work ok.

I am now thinking this is the problem and it will work if you run the root script after having done the insmod in the same session.

Sent from my HTC Desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
(after a reboot) I ran rage script, did insmod, did the 'dd if' thing, ran root script and still got the I/O message. Going manually, 'chmod 4755 /system/xbin/busybox' worked, but it was '/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/bin' that produced the I/O messages again.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Have you got perm root anyway though ? e.g. after a reboot can you do an "su" to get a root prompt ?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
No, su is still permission denied after reboot.

At this point would it just be easier to install clockwork via fastboot and flash a new rom (e.g. the OTA stock w/ root)? Will that work with S-OFF / no root?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
If you have temp root you could install ROM Manager and flash Clockwork from there, then that would let you flash a new ROM, yes.

I still wonder if Visionary messed up your file system.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
That's the thing, I don't really have temp root either- rage gives me a su prompt (#) in terminal but that's it, I can't get su permissions with any other apps or in adb.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
I still have S-OFF, though, which is why I was thinking of installing clockwork thru adb & fastboot, assuming that would work.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
I think it's certainly worth a try. Otherwise I'd be suggesting re-flashing your ROM and going through the process again (after having backed up data etc).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Using fastboot requires that you flashed the engineering hboot, if you did that is what I'd do next.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
This is what resulted from trying to flash clockwork-

C:\>fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\tools\recovery.img

sending 'recovery' (4040 KB)... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

I had assumed I had the engineering hboot was flashed since fastboot shows VISION PVT ENG S-OFF
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
So I did another factory reset, and of course now all the stuff that got pushed to /data/local/tmp is gone. But Superuser Permissions is still in the apps list- is this because it's still sitting on the SD card, or is it related to my current problems?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raitchison:
Yes you do have the engineering hboot, not sure why fastboot isn't working for you (I never used it so I'm not familiar with how it works)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Make sure you have the right drivers installed, I had a G2 driver installed and ADB worked fine but fastboot did not, so I installed HTC Sync, even though the G2 wont work with HTC Sync it still installs the right driver for the G2, after installing HTC Sync I hooked up my G2 and it installed a new driver, then my fastboot worked after that so try install HTC Sync on your computer then retry fastboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proxypoint:
Success! I reinstalled the Vision USB drivers and was able to load Clockwork, and from there the pre-rooted stock ROM. Thanks to all for their help!
[Windows Phone 7 General] badboy70:
How can I set my MMS settings manually?

I have a HTC HD7
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
You can`t edit them directly in WP7. As of today, MMS settings can only be changed via 2 methods.

1) A specailly formatted SMS config message from your carrier. aparrently WP7 doesn`t support the "standard" sms config messages used by carriers for years it has to be specifically formatted for WP7. For this reason I don`t expect you will have much luck with this approach, as the carriers won`t have a clue.

2) Use the HTC configuration app available in the marketplace (i think its called connection setup). This should work just fine.

There is a chance that your carrier blocks this app from working, if this is the case you`ll get an error message when you try to run up the app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] badboy70:
I have an unlocked HD7.

I can't enter the settings manually with the HTC tool.

If I choose Base in the dropdown list it doesn't work.

Is there an option in the HTC tool to enter everything manually?
[Windows Phone 7 General] scoob101:
Nope. There is currently no way to manually configure settings. Some people have reported that there are xml files on the phone which hold the settings, but you`ll have to have to hack the device somehow to get at the XML`s.
