I know theres so many guide regarding rooting unrooting but all I can see is either only rooting but no unroot for a specific version like my W8. I know this request may sound awful but can you help me with the following
1. Root W8
2. Unroot W8
3. Unlock and relock bootloader of W8
I really need something to get back since my phone is just a 1/2 month old and still underwarranty. I need to restore its stock 2.1-update eclair firmware just in case something happens. My goal is to
Root, unlock bootloader, install CFW and an option to relock unroot and restore stock firmware. Thank you for the help in advance.
Im also planning to install gingerdx v017
and just in case I need to remove xrecovery or clockworkmod and restore to untouched W8
Whatever applies for the X8, applies for the W8 too. They are pretty much the same phones but with different colors. So follow those guides.

but is it still possible to comeback to untouched w8 just in case? I now rooted and made a backup of my stock firmware
If by "untouched" you mean as stock as possible, you can reinstall stock using SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service). It will remove every trace of rooting, Xrecovery and Custom ROMs.
thanks dude!By the way how does the stock app2sd on gingerdx works? or link2sd is better? does it mean every application is installed straight to mem card or phone memory first then move?
Ive only used apps2SD, you can specify where you want your apps to be installed in Cyanogenmod settings, but if you want to move apps between storages go to application > manage applications > find the one you want and you will se a button telling you where to move it.

I got it. I made a new partition 500mb as ext2 and I notice when I install apps theres no effect on phone memory it is still 207MB free. Is the partition two necessary? all I want is automated installation of apps to sd.
And last question I notice theres no google map?? wheres that
To tell you the truth, i have no idea how these partition stuff work!
When I want to transfer an app to SD, I do it by going to the app management menu
To automatically transfer apps to SD after installation, go to CyanogenMod settings, I think it's the second option you should tap, you will see a "default install location" menu.
You are using GDX right? DX has removed Maps to test battery life. Maps app has been proven to make the phone stay awake and thus consume battery, but you can get maps from the market if you still need it. If you can't find it there, search google for the apk.

Hi, Anyone can help me to figure out how can i move all date(applications fails) to SD card? , because I installed some Apps on my sd but phone says that internal memory is low , I guess that some fails of Apps still leaving in internal memory.
can u pls elaborate the condition of ur phone?like whether u r rooted or not , wat rom u r running?
yes eventhough u move apps2sd , some data remains in internal memory...
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Yes, it is rooted, android gingerbread 2.3.6
so u r wid rooted stock rom. so in order to increase internal storage so as to install more apps. you got two options.
1. flash a custom rom that supports sd ext ...
2. stay wid stock rom, install blackrose and resize partition.

One more question, I tried to find info about How can I turn on radio? but nothing exactly I can not Found, can you give me some links?

About a month ago I was in the same position as you are. Was really new to all of this and I was constantly running out of space on my N1. All this stuff takes time to figure out, but its really not that difficult if you can follow direction and aren't afraid of typing commands. IMO the easiest way to expand your internal memory is to install CM7 and use S2E. Note that you are not really expanding your internal memory.. it's just a really cool work around. You'll want to make sure you have a fast sdcard, I'm using a class 10 32Gb card and life is good again.
I tried CM7, but with it GPS does not work.
If you've made it this far, getting CM7 on there, then getting the GPS working again shouldn't be too much trouble. At this point you might want to consider flashing a new kernel. I switched to 2.6.38.8 Tiamat_N1-v4.1.0, mostly because the stock kernel in CM7 had low in-call audio volume for me. It's working great so far and I've noticed better battery life.
Just make sure you do a nandroid backup first!!
OK, thanks, but from where I can download kernel and how can I change it?

Hi all
This is my first post so please excuse my ignorance and point me in the right direction if I'm in the wrong area. I will try to be as clear as possible.
I have a stock N1 At&T unlocked....
I kept running out of memory (low mem warning) so I rooted my phone.
Using App2sd I moved as many as my apps to sd card ...problem solved.
In an attempt to perhaps gain quicker boots I froze a few apps including the stock launcher as I was using go launcher.. No issues or problems.
However... My problem came when I moved Go launcher to the sd card to gain space....
Now the phone wont boot , it just continually shows the animated "x" nexus logo.
My reasoning is, now the phone cant load the "frozen" stock launcher and cant find Go launcher for booting on the sd card , so It's stuck in a searching cycle.
Question.. Is there a non destructive way to recover from this? I have TiTanium Bkup free which I backed up 2 days ago.
If I do a "recovery" will it un root my phone and unfreeze my apps?
Can I unfreeze my stock launcher from boot mode?
I can seem to find any thread that comes close apart from doing a recovery
I thank you all in advance for your time and your patience in this matter..
I would love your help and advice.
Just flash your ROM again without doing a full wipe. Reinstall apps2sd. All your apps and data should be still there.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
Thank you
Thank you cpm !!
Again excusing my ignorance....
When you mean "flash" do you mean to use the restore feature on power up?
My next step after this was to flash a CM9 ics rom for a N1 I see U are using one... are there any issues ? could you give me the link?
Again many thanks for you assistance.... much appreciated
I will let you know how it goes
If you want CM9 then look at BCM ROM in the Dev forum. You can download it there.
Only thing not working is video camera. You can take pics, but not video. Might be sorted over time. Otherwise a very stable ROM.
Note you'll also have to install Blackrose to repartition your phone.

hey
ive been told when using titaium to backup all apps and system data but when it comes to restoring it all, that it should be installed as apps and data only,is that corrent?
Okay i have a external sd card which is only like 3gb, now when you flash roms etc and have to restore stuff back, what exactly is Titanium backing up? is it backing every single thing except the sd card? will all my data within apps remain when i restore? so all my photos, icons, bookmarks etc etc
iam so confused as the app does not specify things in catogories.
cheers.

It backups your application and data(passwords or data entered in application) just like you had it before flash another rom. It will not backup ur photos, songs, icons but it will backup the bookmarks.

Even it remains untouched on internal SD card, it won't erase during wiping cache, wiping data (except you specifically select to format USB storage), Flashing.

TB can even backup your contacts/call history, data usage and many others too, all you have to do is to backup particular app and while restoring, just restore "data only". I have tried it for same ROM version, not sure if it will work inter ROM as well

hey jeetu! lol
you now ive still not flashed rom cause each time i see insructions, someone says somethin different lol. although you guys in this thread have always helped me.
ive had a go with gobackup pro and it really does everything, like contacts and bookmarks, your pictures, music, whatever you select it will back up. now that ive learned that my internal sd and ex sd will not be touched, iam not so paronoid about leaving everything in my internal sd as ive got over 10gb of space their. i just thought once ive backed up, ill have to move everything to ex sd due to me doing wipes and flashing roms, it would all be removed LOL.
BUT i do have a question, when i go into settings and click into storage, under internal storage it says ive got over 649mb of apps installed, now under internal sd it says 423mb. NOW is the apps installed under internal just all the system apps that come with the rom? and is this what will be removed when i do the full wipe etc?

Hey!!
One is system ROM it should be around 900 MB in total and almost consumed unless you remove some apps from system, this space is used by system apps included in the ROM and will stay even if you wipe the device. (you cannot see this in settings, use TB for it)
The one you are talking about is Internal storage (aroung 2 GB) and is used for apps you download from play store or from SD card. These apps will be removed with wipe.
Okayyyy I think I get it now lol...but both the SD storages will stay? They better lol
R u still on stock rom and if so why are you not flashing roms? Always wondered

Yes, SD cards will not be wiped with flashing unless you choose to wipe/format SD cards as Dr.Ketan said. I change ROMS very frequently, tried almost all available custom roms for Note in first 5-10 days . As of now I am using modified version of stock ROM. I have replaced lots of stock apps with modified ones (thanks to the Devs), so no need of custom ROM, but planning to try CM10 soon.
Ha ha ha, i am doing this since long, just difference is never tried custom ROM still.
And that is real our custom ROM.

Indeed , I started doing this when I was using htc HD2 and there was no new ROM left for me to try, lol
So what are the best Rome to try??? Rocketrom v10 seems good and that criskelo one but will I loose all system apps? Also can I use netcore v13 with both Roms if I choose to try both of them...or do I need abyess kernal?
I don't like the look of the stock launcher icons in TW so I guess ill have to change launchers unless I can find a rom where I can change my icons and stuff

Both of these Roms are good and include almost all stock apps, you can use Notecore with them, no need to flash Abyss kernel. You can use Go launcher EX if you don't like the icons as these roms are also TW based and will have same icons .
Try CM based roms if you want to try something new.
CM roms OK I will look for v9 since 10 is not out yet. So netcore I can use with also but I must perform full wipe etc...reading all this info just makes my brain go crazy lol your truly helpful

CM10 is out but not stable yet, u can use notecore to wipe and then flash cm9 but do not flash it once you are on cm. Cm uses different kernels and will come with its own.
But better you read rom threads for flashing instructions, either with Notecore or abyss gb.

Lol I've had a gud look but I really don't see any I like so maybe I should just stick with root but I have to say this speedmod kernal with ics stock is much smoother and faster. Would the netcore kernal on my stock rom make it even faster? I've heard gud reviews about it

Yes it can be removed. You gotta have root though. After u rooted your phone, just download SystemApp Remover from playstore and install it. It's a paid app btw.
Try using link2sd.. it more simple..
but you must root n partition sd card before..

link2sd is a very good app,as it as the option to move an app to sd card even the ones that don't have that option in settings/applications/downloaded or all,but rom toolbox is the ultimate tool

its a right ball ache putting everything back on the phone.
I know, but I think that is a problem from the installation of the google apps, the other option its going to Settings/ privacy and there should be options to restore/wipe the data of the phone, anyways you will need to do a backup of your numbers, messages, etc
if this doesnt work, you will need to reflash the stock software with PcCompanion
Anyways the last time that I had problems with the market app in stock, I just had to restore the fabric data of the phone in Settings/ privacy
