[EVO 4G General] thegregbradley:
I'm not personally good enough at this to help you, but perhaps state your hardware version and your root method and see if this might lead to some answers? For the record, I have hardware 0003, I used unrevoked, and I was running the same version of Fresh that you were.

Also, I *think* I did my first Nandroid, but I've only ever backed up/restored from Clockwork. I use Clockwork now because it ties in with Rom Manager. I can confirm that clockwork + fresh 3.5.0.1 had a successful nandroid backup and restore on my phone. Maybe try installing Clockwork recovery, make a nandroid, see if it works, and narrow down your problem to maybe just RA not working with your setup somehow? Granted it'd be nice if you could use the recovery that you want to, but at least you'd have some semblance of a backup procedure.

[also]..... I *think* that RA makes a recovery folder called "nandroid" on the SD card, whereas Clockwork makes one called "clockwork/backups".... I remember this confusing me for a second, and I'm not sure if that information can help you in any way. Good luck man!
[EVO 4G General] rdzlyz:
Not the only victim, happens to me too that's why I don't use nandroid on amon ra recovery, I like using clockworks back up

Trying to find a stock, unrooted 2.1 or 2.2 image for a US Cellular CDMA Desire, for warranty. I have been lookin for a couple days and have yet to find. Found several links on the xda forums but they were for rooted or nonstock images.

Didn't find one other than verizon's on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695667

Search function on the forums has not been workin for me as well, always get a temp. unavailable error, so please no search flames..

Thanks for any help here
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You can get the stock 2.2 ruu off the USCC web site
[Desire General] lucanis:
Yep sure is, installed and works great (for stock). No issues no glitches, thanks for getting me in the right direction.
[Desire General] fish2222:
I would like to find a stock 2.1 to downgrade my Desire with to get it rooted. Anyone got one of those? I have found stuff, but none of it will work with the CDMA version.
[Desire General] Lennyz1988:
you don't need to downgrade to root. Use unrevoked.
[Desire General] tjustice86:
Unrevoked will not work on 2.2 CDMA Desire unless it was already rooted on 2.1 before 2.2 was installed
[Desire General] fish2222:
Yep, that's why I am looking for a way to get back to 2.1. I would do it the gold card way, but it seems to only work on non-cdma phones for the desire.
[Desire General] tjustice86:
Ya I was telling lennyz1988 and no gold card won't work on cdma... Damnitt
[Desire General] zick2500:
Anyone find a stock USCC 2.1 ruu yet?

I upgraded to 2.2 and would like to go back to 2.1 but can't find anyway to do so yet. :(
[Desire General] bestrafer:
Alltel has 2.1 RUU, you could try it )
[Desire General] zick2500:
Yeah I saw that but haven't heard about anyone actually trying it on a USCC phone and what the effects are.

Thanks though :)
[Desire General] phidelt82:
I picked up a Desire yesterday to try to start work on it also. I've been doing dev work on the Mesmerize since it came out and also for the Showcase (Cellular South).

Not that you guys probably care, but I'm a USCC Engineer and have access that has helped me out a lot to get the Mesmerize to where it's at today (of course with lots of help from other devs on the Fascinate side as well as the new guys with me). Unfortunately, things aren't as plentiful in the HTC firmware bin or I would have brought a 2.1 RUU over here a long time ago. On the Samsung side, if a customer brought a phone in to the store and had jacked it up, the in store tech had a stock image of the 2.1 firmware that he/she could flash back on the phone and it would be restored to it's factory state and the customer would be sent on their way. With the Desire, this doesn't seem to be the case. There was no factory image to flash to, so phones were swapped and sent in for repair.

I'm sure that the guys from unrevoked will probably figure this out before I even come close, but I just wanted to pop in and say hey and let you know that you have a friend on the inside (probably not the only one) that's working on things also. Feel free to hit me up. I'm always available for questions, comments, and suggestions.
[Captivate General] AndreiCojocaru256:
So i bought my Captivate yesterday, its on 2.1update 1.

i Root it, then i unlock it, i give the phone permission to install 3rd party apps.

Now the problem(s), My imei changed. And now my Market will not download anything. not even updates! ive tried EVERYTHING. clearing data and uninstalled updates. nothing. I favctory reset it a couple times. Market will download for about 5 minutesa then it dosnt download anymore.

Anyone have any tips to fix this? thanks
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
your imei changed when you unlocked it. undo your lock. unlock with code method, not change file method.
[Captivate General] AndreiCojocaru256:
How do i unfreeze it?

dang so thats what it was. so everytime i tried to find the unlock CODE here is what it said.

When i used SGS unlock app, it would say "null" on both freeze and unfreeze. when i manually tried to pull it, it said "FFFFFFFF".

But i do still get service. my phone is working. i believe that this "fake" imei number is masking my real one? this one is: 004999010640000. seems like an unrealistic imei and is not the same as on my phones box.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I will be exchanging my Epic for the first dual-core phone on Sprint (don't try to convince me otherwise!)

Anyways, I'm sure it'll be an HTC EVO type of phone, so it will be lacking Touchwiz. I have gotten so used to the touchwiz Lockscreen (I text ALOT!) and it's beautiful UI. :o

Will you miss Touchwiz when you get a new phone?

P.S. I stay away from roms that don't have touchwiz launcher. LOL
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Meh. There are other lock screens and ADW gives me better functionality than TW - particularly the ability to organize the app drawer into groups.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Beautiful UI? Touchwiz?! You must be using a different version of touchwiz then ;)

Personally all I will miss about touchwiz will be systematically hunting down and getting rid of any elements of it.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:

[Epic 4G General] redsman55:
Never use it. The first thing I do when I flash a new ROM is install a 3rd party launcher.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
That would be + billions then :p
[Epic 4G General] aypanthony:
I actually think Go Launcher is very good. Touchwiz is somewhat limited on features.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Hey hey, it's very basic and the size of the dock is perfect for my setup. I came from sense and I have a sense ui feel to my Touchwiz, but as stated, touchwiz lockscreen wont be on HTC phones, which is why I will miss it.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
And eww. I tried ADW, waaayyy too many options/preferences when adding just a single shortcut. Select shortcut name, icon, destination, etc. I just want to place the damn thing on the homescreen!

When I open up TW drawer, I can simply long press on any app and it'll drag it to the current homescreen I'm on.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Works with ADW too. Actually, I think that has worked on every home replacement I've tried...
[Epic 4G General] KL4V1CL3:
Launcher Pro does.

I will only miss one thing: the slide to adjust brightness on the notification bar.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
TW has its good points - the music player's above average and has nice dropdown controls, and the lock screen is useful. The launcher, however, is a real piece of crap, and I wouldn't miss it. There's plenty of good music players out there.

[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
If you think touchwiz is bad, wait till you get SenseUI. At least with touchwiz you can put on a new launcher and pretend it's not there.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Why would you say the Launcher is crap, out of curiosity?
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
LOL. My slider wobbles too!
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:

[Epic 4G General] nutswillkillme:
Kind of. The htc dialer, messaging app, and email app are dumb and ugly as butt.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
TW is alright, I just prefer Launcher Pro and have been using it since after the first week I got my phone. Won't miss TW at all.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I like the idea of TW and it's UI, but it's just so choppy, and kind of limited other than its Samsung Widgets.

I wouldn't really miss it, maybe slightly but doubtful
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
I want TW 4.0 that looks cool
[Epic 4G General] wcheek226:
for what its so many launchers out here it serves no purpose
[Epic 4G General] epic4GEE:
Your sure HTC is about to have a dual core evo type phone for sprint, when they've only just announced and started releasing there minor spec bumped hardware on att and vz and thus far nothing has been announced for dual core. I think personally they are about to fall behind a generation in terms of cpu's.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I would miss tw, it has many handy things like the built in task manager(which is way better than going to Manage applications all the time), music player, slider for brightness in notification bar and its widgets are nice. Launcher is ok. I can say, however, that the only other android phone I've played with is the OG Moto droid, and I love touchwiz compared to the stock froyo in most ways. And that's my ¢0.02

Sorry for barging in but I just seen this on the latest posts. Lol.

I'm using LauncherPro btw.

I, too, am one of those that will only miss going through trying to root TW out! Lol! I have to say though, if it's an HTC type phone your going to end up with, it'll have sense anyhow. So if you liked TW odds are youll really like sense. I am a ADW Ex user myself. LPro is amazing too but I'm waiting for Fedes full rewrite before peeling myself from ADW Ex.
[Epic 4G General] zman519:
I agree. I have been using Go Launcher EX and really like it and the phone uses less battery on Go Launcher.

I kinda miss "Buddys now" has any one found a speed dial kinda type thingy widget thats in some way like TW buddys now? It does not have to sync with FB for my uses.

The very first thing I did was replace TW. Prior to the epic I had been using a Treo 755p with a very nice 3rd part launcher and the TW seemed like a real POS. :D

[Epic 4G General] 2k4mach:
wont really miss it, i doubt the wife will either, i switched her over to launcher pro about 2 weeks after she got the epic.
[Epic 4G General] joshk89:
Why do people not like tw? I'm actually surprised how many people on here don't like it.. I like it way more than launcher pro or any other launcher, I always come back to stock tw. I'm on bonsai no with its modified tw and I think its awesome, had a little lag so I tried the twilight kernal instead and its flying now.

On another note, why jump ship for the first dual core? Wait a little bit and let them get some kinks fixed IMO cause there's always kinks with 1st gens.
[Epic 4G General] rocket321:
I like TW, have tried some others and if you need more options/customizations they are nice, but for a solid, quick launcher TW does well. As for SenseUI, the post a couple pages back was right on target, the custome e-mail, music, gallery and web brower apps are ugly and waste tons of screen space.

Kudo's to samsung for including mostly stock android apps!

Also, beauty of samsung is you can set the stock android launcher as home, and not use the TW launcher, w/o root or hackery, take that HTC.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Miss it? I won't miss it if it goes away, I'll adapt to whatever gets thrown on there first. As long as it gives me access to my applications and data then I really don't have a preference as to what it looks like.
[Epic 4G General] Quis89:
Use WidgetLocker. Its the vanilla lockscreen and it allows you to customize your unlock sliders. I've got the traditional two unlock sliders and then I've also added several other ones to allow easy access to text messaging, email, browser and google talk. Its so much more convenient than the touchwiz lockscreen. With those being some of my more frequent apps I hardly enter my phone lol
[Epic 4G General] BeerChameleon:
The only thing i like from touchwiz is the Honeycomb Themed TW Lockscreen, thats it

TW Can suck my balls... :rolleyes::cool:

Launcher Pro all the way. :D
[Epic 4G General] xxmastermindxx:
That app looks pretty cool. What rom are you running it on?
[Epic 4G General] omair2005:
Go launcher EX is what i'm running. Touchwiz is nice but FOLDERS are crucial. GO lets me create folders on homescreen AND IN APP TRAY. No other launcher can do that as far as i know. This makes life easier when trying to launch an app. instead of shuffling through pages, you can click the folder.

Wow, here and I thought the manufacturers were the only ones that thought a UI would influence phone decision-making for people...

The only way the UI will influence me is that I'll always go vanilla if it's available and on comparable hardware.

How do I get this touchwiz lockscreen? I have a lame circle that I drag up to unlock... thought it was the tw locscreen? I can't imagine people actually like it...

Jokes right??.....
[Epic 4G General] riceknight:
This exactly for me.

Lockscreen is about all I'd miss as I text a lot, though it could use a nice facelift.
[Epic 4G General] stir fry a lot:
You can also use Folder Organizer which is made by the same developer that makes Launcher Pro. Both are great apps and work well with each other.
[Epic 4G General] tbob18:
Go Launcher is much easier to use as the folders are built into the app drawer for quick access.
[Epic 4G General] dbpaddler:
I'll miss the toggles in the pull down. Very convenient. The task manager built into the app switcher is nice too. Could care less about launchers and locks.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
The only thing I like is the music player.... that being said I liked the stock 2.1 one too

I haven't ever used TW to any extent so i really can't comment. I installed launcher pro on 8/31/2010 and have never looked back. I used ADW for the last week and with the newest ACS SFR I went with Launcher Pro again.

I'm convinced TW does nothing better than any other, nor does it necessarily do anything worse... It's just different and a personal preference.

You can't say it's a preference though when it actively breaks things and I have in fact found bugs with the sms app and calendar apps.... I'd prefer stock and stable as opposed to buggy.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
Actually the real TW lock screen as seen on the GT-I9000 and the other US versions is significantly different than our Sprint one
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:

Im one of the few in love with Touchwiz .. especially after I got my hands on the modified one. I'm even reluctant to switch to Go Launcher EX simply because the modded Touchwiz 3.0 is that good to me :)
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
I like TW a lot...it's just too damn slow when scrolling if you're stock.
[Epic 4G General] abrcrmdl23:
I used to use launcher pro instead of touchwiz but the new touchwiz isn't that bad but I switched to try out go launcher and it is just so much faster I love it I wish I could make the home screen icon more dense but that is trivial. the folders in the app drawer is sweet.

I used touch wiz for awhile when I returned to factory but I like the scrollable docks with Launcher pro. I did look at TW 4.0 though and it looks pretty sick:

I just tried 4 other launchers and liked regina the most out of them, but couldn't get used to any of the others and regina has a slight lag so I moved backvto touchwiz.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
TouchWiz is not that bad actually..if anything most of the hate for it comes from previous iteration of TouchWiz and some similarities to the iphone...

the UI in itself is not that bad and probably the easiest UI to navigate...its not the most awesome looking but its not that bad either..

As for sense ui, I don't like it, it looks ugly...and I hate how they bundle all the junk in it...half of which aren't used...so it might be the most feature rich UI, but at same time its the most bloated UI too..they should make half the stuff optional as downloadable rather then built deep into Android.

[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
I love adwex most. it can replicate almost all launchers, the hidden dock, once you figure it out the hidden dock has infinite scrolling as well. What makes it the best for me is the option to write an app to theme it with full control of the launchers options icons and all. What I dislike about touchwiz is the colors of the icon template, solid color launcher drawer, iphone type scrolling, lag, and I find the bottom dock too tall and plain.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
+1 on this part. In fact, what's kind of funny, is there's a TW3.0 port available for my wife's Transform and when I stumbled across is she was like "what's that ??".. I showed her TW and she was like "it looks like my iPod.. I want it" .. I rolled my eyes LOL.. (yes, i put it on her phone .. gotta keep momma happy)..

For me, I prefer Zeam launcher.. it's simplistic but very customizable IMO

I've been having problems with Fresh Rom not working right so I decided to try CM7, the newest nightly the other day which would have been number 12.

I flashed that then I flashed the "Google Apps" and poof, boot loop.

The phone would boot, I'd get to the screen with the Android guy on it that I think is a configuration screen for the Google Apps, and it would boot loop before I could do anything.

Thoughts?

This was on a fresh install of CM7 Nightly.
