[Q] HELP Nexus One apps missing!!

hi i recently rooted my phone using the SuperOneClick Method from the unlockr.com. i used nandroid to back up my current ROM, and then proceded to flash a custom ROM. after trying it out the ROM for a few hours i decided to revert back to my original stock ROM. now i am currently back on the stock ROM but everything is WRONG. most of stock apps are missing (browser, text messaging, ect..), the market cannot download apps, basically i can only make/receive calls and get gmail. most of the other apps are gone. i have tried to factory reset the phone, i tried reflashing the HTC FRF83 stock ROM that i was on before and nothing seems to work.
i figured what i did wrong. when the phone was creating the nandroid backup, my SD was running out of space. i dont think the backup was complete and when i flashed the backup the phone is missing key components.
can anybody help me? thanks.

Read Wiki, follow "Unroot / restore your Nexus" guide for FRG83.

Restore i896 Factory Rom

I have a captivate i896 and i ran into some problem flashing cognition onto my phone. So now all I can do is use odin to flash the stock i897 rom onto my device.
The problem with this is and the cognition roms are that I have to mobile data connection (but i have voice) on these roms. I cant access 2g/3g data, does anyone know how to fix this?
But my main question is how to restore the stock i896 rom back onto my device.
When I use rom manager to try to flash the stock rom found on this page (hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SGH-I896) it just doesnt work. Maybe im going something wrong, but I cant seem to get it to work.

That file is not a rom, its a backup that you need to restore with rom manager. Copy it to your sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/rogers_stock directory and restore it with rom manager.
If you want the actual rom get this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BD2EF4WF

thanks so much

Ok so i tried flashing this rom
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=03X7E4UW
which is suppose to be the stock rogers captivate rom with rom manager.
However when i do so, after selecting the .zip file in cwm it gets up to "installing update..." with a empty status bar at the bottom.
I left it there for about 30 minutes and it didnt change.
Can anyone help me get back to stock i896!

Read my post above, you need copy the images to the sdcard and restore them, not install the zip file.

I'm really interested to know if those backups and stock roms actually restore you to stock. The first phone I had got soft bricked when I tried to restore the backups I had made from by own phone. So if this works for anyone I'd be really interested to hear about it

You could also try using Heimdall, new Open-Source Flashing Software and this dump generated from stock Rogers phone.
I haven't seen any reports of tests on Captivate yet, but it seems to work well on other Galaxies. Check Heimdall thread for more info, and if it works well for you, please report to this thread. Good luck!

[Q] Backup stock ROM before installing CM7.x

Hi all. Due apologies in advance if I sound like a total newbie.
I'm looking to install CM 7.x on my O2X. Before that, I want to backup my stock LG ROM so that I can restore it in the event I need to send the device back to the service centre for any reason. Would appreciate any help or pointers for backing up and restoring the stock ROM on my handset.

To have a perfect restore you'll have to get rid of CWM either, that means restoring original recovery partition. The only way to do this is to flash an original complete ROM with nvflash.
There is a thread about this with all original Froyo roms, should be easy to find in dev section.
After backup LG update tool will get you to the latest version and it will be ok to go back for repair...

i think you don't need to backup stock rom, you only backup your data and system data with titanium backup. because there is tool like nvflash that's already mention or smartflash tool to flash your phone to the original stock rom

Yes I supposed he knows that I assumed he wanted to know how to restore a complete stock ROM including the stock recovery to preserve warranty if he needs to get the phone back for repair.

you can find NVFlash & Guide in my folder :

ICS backup problem

I have a strange problem. Two day ago after restoring backup of my rom(cm9) i noticed that i haven't got status bar, wallpaper is all black and no "recent apps" when long press home button. Then i flashed fresh rom and it backed to normal. I though it was something wrong with backup. But today i made new backup because i wanted to try another ics rom. And after restoring i have the same problem :/ Any ideas how to fix it? All other apps are working.

Help installing OTA update

Okay so i messed up and geting fc issue with my text messaging app and am not able to install it from titianium backup no matter what i do (i have pro). Found /system image here and just need help installing it.
I want to keep it stock but remove bloat. Can i just copy the zip file to sd and install? or use RSD Lite?
I also read that if you replace the build.prop to and older say 2.3.4 and then try to do the ota upgrade it will work. Can anyone confirm this works and has older build.prop?
Using XT860 on Bell canada

**Backup whatever you can before using RSDlite as this will wipe your phone (except /sdcard /sdcard-ext)**
It's probably possible to fix your SMS issues but I don't know how.. maybe start by taking a look at the logs..
adb logcat .. or some logcat app from the market. You should probably start by this, unless you feel ready to jump into custom ROMs..
If all else fails you can always get a fresh system image..
But unlike the XT862.. we XT860 users on Bell don't have a leaked official SBF file to flash back to stock Bell with RSDlite/fastboot.
But we can flash a few leaked Latin America SBF files and change the language back to English/French.
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_solana/list.php
The only way that I know of so far.. to get back to stock Bell is to use Willis111 file and flash it from recovery like a ROM:

Either way, I suggest you then install hashcode's safestrap so you have working custom recovery with backups and everything.. and try out the latest CM9. Safestrap will allow you to easily switch between stock and custom ROM and backup/restore your future setups in case something goes wrong in the future..

~Sent from my unbricked XT860 running CM9 installed in hashcode's safestrap over the LatAm 2.3.6 SBF.

i used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340492 and got all my bloat back.
But as soon as i removed any app again using TB it breaks messaging, think i'm uninstalling something that the messaging app needs but don't seem like i'm touching anything that has to do with it.
don't really want to go into custom roms this phone is for my mom and already wasted a day on it. Just need stock with bloat removed so its a bit quicker. My HTC is all decked out on the other hand

Be careful what you uninstall in TB..
I remember having issues after deleting some yahoo thing on mine when I was stuck on stock. (Contacts would FC)
EDIT: I did freeze and/or uninstall those without any issues citrix, kobo, GPS Nav., a few games, and zoompass when I was stock.

it seems to be alright, i striped out everything such as media connect, dlna, portal etc. Just to make the phone a simple phone.
It seems when i removed the email app it was causing the messaging app to fc. The phone seems stable after a complete wipe and don't see any fc'ing.
What i don't get is if i use TB to uninstall any app i cannot get TB to restore it and the only way is to flash the system image again.
I may just flash system again and just freeze everything i don't want.

Glad to see someone using my system dumps!
Did you do the OTA to 2.3.6 yet? That fixes A LOT of bugs, improves battery life and camera as well.
Yesterday I just loaded my first custom ROM on my phone, using the safestrap method and threw on CM9... so far I think it's really sweet. I really hope we get Official ICS but if we don't I'm going to stick with a custom ICS rom.

I can confirm you shouldn't uninstall or freeze the Email app (universal inbox thing) as it will indeed FC a few other things..
What I do in TB for stuff I want to completely uninstall is this:
-convert to user app (as opposed to system app)
-back it up
-uninstall as if it was any other app (from TB or not..)
If I want to restore.. I restore it from TB.. which reinstalls it as a user app.. then change it back to system app from TB.
Alternative: manually backup and rename or move the apk in /system..
And put it back in to restore.
In any case.. a reboot might be a good idea after restoring..
PS: CM9 has been my daily driver for a while now.. I had to go back to stock for a few minutes the other day (needed the HDMI mirror..) and I really wouldn't go back to stock as my daily..(Safestrap works wonders for switching between the two though..)

phone came with 2.3.6 so no OTA, you dump works wonders. I may flash it again and uninstall thinks like kobo, citrix etc and freeze others like universal inbox.
What does freezing do anyways, does it stop it from loading in RAM?
