[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
I'm about to finish this rooting process to put a custom rom on my brothers phone, but I want to be sure he won't lose all of his data if I do the ESPRIMG.zip update...I'm just trying to play it safe before he hates me for losing all his data :)

If anyone can verify this for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I don't want to mess this up if I can avoid it.

Using the exploid method, I got to the part where you get the # in the adb shell, indicating root. However, titanium backup and such apps would not yet run, so I had to continue to make the root permanent with full access(or so I understand), and have now found myself at this step. If this zip only enables us to flash clockwork without wiping all the data on the phone, that would be awesome. I just want to make sure that is true...I haven't seen the answer anywhere else. Thanks for the help guys!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
I wouldn't think anything would be wiped until you flash a new rom or do a wipe yourself... but don't quote me on that... I've only rooted 3 devices and the Slide was back in December, haha. D:

Which leads me to a kind of on-topic question... How do people back up their stuff the first time around if they're not rooted? I'm sure it's something simple. I just kinda made a list of the stuff I had.

If it's something extraordinarily obvious, I'm sorry it's 5AM anddd... I should probably know anyways. xD
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
This is what I'm wondering. I've rooted a G1, G2, and nook color before (although the NC is completely automated and required no work really, as there was nothing to back up the first time around). On the G1, it was my first device obviously and I lost all my data when wiping and flashing a custom rom. In the G2 process, I was able to get apps like Ti Backup to run on the stock rom, so I was able to back up all my apps and data.

On this one, it's a bit different (at least for now), I want to know if performing that update in the bootloader will put an entirely different image on my phone, meaning I'd lose all the data that's currently on there.

It's not so much the apps, but all the application data that I'm worried about losing without warning him first...I don't want him to have to repeat all his work to get to the same spot he's currently at in angry birds or something :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
Its going to wipe the phone. How to back up data? Idk.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigFellor:
I just did this myself, so take a noob's word for what it's worth.

Yes it will wipe the phone IF you tell it to do the update. If you want to back up your phone you first need to put ClockworkMod Recovery on your SD card and name it simply update.zip. When you load into the boot loader (Vol down + Power) select "Recovery" then something about "Apply from SD: Update.zip" and you will get into ClockworkMod Recovery where you can then do a Nandroid back up of your phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
It completely wipes the phone. It REPLACES SPL, radio, recovery, rom, etc with the factory spec so the phone will be exactly as it was when first pulled out of the box.

Contacts, calendar, etc should be backed up to google. Apps can be downloaded again from the market and should be auto restored on sign-in to google.

Personal settings and data like texts, call logs, etc are gone though unless you use a program like Titanium Backup to save them.

The other thing you could do is root the stock rom, make a nandroid backup before flashing a custom rom and then if he wants to go back all he has to do is restore the nandroid backup and unroot with all his data preserved.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
All right this is what i was suspecting. Is there any way to run titanium backup on the stock rom without wiping it first?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
What do you mean? Titanium Backup requires root. You can use it in your custom rom to backup everything you want, then restore, reroot, then download titanium backup again and restore the data from your sdcard. If that doesn't answer your question please elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish so that I can help.

Where are you now? What steps did you take to get there? Where are you trying to get to and why?

EDIT - I've had an mt3g and an mt4g but never an espresso so i'm slightly out of my element. I reread the first post and it appears you have root but for whatever reason titanium isn't granted root access. Do you have superuser permissions installed? It can be installed from the market as long as you have root access.

Once you have clockwork (or amon ra) recovery installed you can make a nandroid backup of his stock rom without rooting it, but carrying all the data over to the new rom will require an app such as titanium or mybackup (free 30 day trial) from the market.

Hope that helps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SefEXE:
I guess it WILL then!

Yeah, this was the first device I rooted, so I just sorta flew through it. I was glad that it got rooted and I could put a rom on, so the loss of data wasn't TOO big to me.

And I've lost Angry Birds like... 4 times now, haha.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
I am aware of all of that.

What I've done is use the exploid method to root until you get to the "#" prompt in the adb shell, after toggling wifi and running ./exploid twice. Then to continue in order to flash a custom rom, I've got to perform the update from the bootloader with ESPRIMG.zip. All I'm asking is that since I do have root through the exploid method, can I run Titanium Backup BEFORE I flash a custom rom, since technically it is possible to gain root access before flashing custom roms. I tried installing the app but it could not properly gain the access it needed. I think this probably has something to do with no superuser app being installed either.

Does it make sense what I'm asking? Thanks guys.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Yeah I think so. I'll take a look at the root guide but if you have # in Terminal then you should have root. Try installing superuser and see what happens. Do you have a custom recovery installed yet? I think you'll need that to install superuser.

Why didn't you just try SuperOneClick? Much easier than all this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
The # in terminal disappears as soon as I try to exit, and whatever work you've done resets upon a reboot.

I don't have clockwork installed as of yet, because the guide says I've got to update the ESPRIMG.zip through the bootloader before I can do that. I'll try flashing clockwork first and installing superuser before I do anything else.

Does a one click root exist for the slide? I thought that it wasn't possible at this time. If that's the case I'm interested as long as it allows me to run Ti Backup and such and flash clockwork with s-off to do some backups before I go ahead and flash cyanogenmod. Thanks.

EDIT: As expected, can't flash clockwork update without flashing the ESPRIMG.zip update. If I can't run Titanium, it'd be nice to get a couple files out of /data/data before doing the wipe. I tried an adb pull which would not work from the /data partition. With the # prompt in terminal, I wanted to copy some of these files, but the "cp" command doesn't seem to work in terminal, but "mv" and "rm" do. Any way to copy files from within the adb shell? If I could move them to the SD card it would be nice.

I got the cracked version of Skype that enabled calling over 3g. I opened it and it starts up as usual, then when i want to attempt a call it ends the call automatically. I try that again and the same result comes out. I try it the third time and it says there are 2 ongoing calls, close one or more to continue. Is it something i am doing wrong or is the latest cracked version not supported for Galaxy Tab?

Im new to Android so please bear with me.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ExMM:
What Skype version do u have? Have u tried another one? Which provider?

Try to unistall it or also clear the cache and reboot

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] maxxedmk:
I have a few questions about skype though.

Is it possible to make skype prolong the ringing time before it sends the call to voicemail?

And is it possible to make skype not go into suspended mode? What I mean is that after a while it stops running and just stays in the notification bar and all calls go straight to voicemail.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ExMM:
I don't think is possible, it could depends as well from your provider, I guess you can wait and see with the next update...

Have you tried to check your Skype/account settings? Maybe there is a way to deactivate your voicemail..
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] maxxedmk:
It's fine if it goes to voicemail, its just that if someone needs to reach me urgently, they gotta leave a voicemail.

I tried messing with the settings but didnt try to deactivate voicemail
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ExMM:
I guess there is nothing you can do about it

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeoldgreat1:
I found on these forums before that unlinking your YouTube account from your Google account stops any login problems and lets you login to your account through the Data Services tab in Settings.

However, Google have changed their policy so you're forced to link your Google and YouTube accounts when you login on your computer. Now whenever I try to login on my phone, nothing happens. I enter my username and password and when I click Login, it just goes back to the previous screen with the Youtube slider still set to Off. I'm using the right password as if I spell it wrong on purpose, I get an error message telling me that the password is wrong.

I've been searching the forums for an answer to this and cant seem to find one, does anyone else have any idea what tod do? I liked having the upload to youtube feature but I can't do this now.

Try formatting it with no swap. Set it to 0.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppurcell:
Ok, tried that same error. 0MB Swap, 512MB Ext2 and remainder FAT32. Partition FAT32 is first (viewable and RW in Windows) followed by 512MB EXT2.

I guess the question should be asked, does anyone run a HTC Desire GSM with a 32GB microSD Card, and if so what/how did the partitions set up. I suspect that the HTC Desire does not support 32GB cards. (I put the card in a HTC Desire HD and formatted under Clockworks 3.0.0.5). Formats ok, but get same error. Put a 16 GB card in CLASS 10 and get same errors. Put an 8GB microSD CLASS 4 and everything works fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capactus:
My Galaxy S has a strange bug and I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same behaviour.

The phone does not always wake from standby when I press the home button or the on/off button. It sometimes does not register the key press when I try to wake the phone. It wakes up the second time I press the button.

I'm running stock Froyo 2.2.1 (XWJS5) Dutch version.

I Already tried a factory reset and a reflash trough odin. Problem is still there.

Because it happens when using the home key and the on/off button makes me think this is a software problem. I will try to flash an earlier firmware to see if the problem is there as well.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capactus:
Don't know to be honest. It's a brand new phone. My previous Galaxy S didn't show this behaviour, but then again my previous phone never ran XWJS5 ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capactus:
So I flashed back to XWJPA and all is fine. No running Doc's ROM and also fine. So it seems like a bug in the XWJS5.

Hi

Just a quick question. Running WM7 on HTC HD2 but I can't see my SD card or any settings to get to it.

Is there any obvious setting I've missed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Themes and Apps] Gustopher:
You won't see it as such as it's effectively incorporated into the WP7 file system. You can tweak your PC's registry to make the device appear in Windows Explorer, which gives you limited access to folders, but you really need to use Zune or email to put files onto the device - the card doesn't work quite like it used to in terms of portable storage.

I understand schapps is working on a WP7 'Device Centre' that may help with some aspects of this - should be released following the forthcoming WP7 update.

Hi guys, I have a strange behaviour of my LG Optimus 7:

Some weeks ago I decided two install two applications from Zune's marketplace, then I installed other apps from phone's marketplace.

Suddently I formatted both PC and PHone but the first time after PHone formatting I connect the phone Zune automatically reinstall the two application: The Weather Channel and the game Unite.

How it is possible? both phone and PC are fresh formatted, I think it takes data from Windows Live ID Account, please help this thing is really annoying!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i would imagine that it gets cached on the server side that it was installed via Zune Desktop. I don't think you can do much about it at present. Perhaps see if it is possible to remove the history on your account of the app install? I'm not too sure to be honest, i've actually installed everything via my phone.
