Please help..

Right so i've done something to my phone, i added that battery circle thing for the galaxy s but i think it didn't take, and now it just loads up into the phone and keeps turning the screen on and off like its trying to load but it never does. OBVIOUSLY i've done something terribly wrong all i want to do is jsut wipe everything and start again fresh so it works! is there anyway to do this through odin or something? help would be appreciated..
Seems like odin and download mode is my best bet but can anyone talk me through what i have to do? i dont care what i put on my phone, as long as it works. seems like a good time to update my firmware anyways.. Just help lol, s**tting bricks at the moment and the thought of having a nice expensive paper weight...

if you want to fix it with minimal work and risc you can just goto recovery and make a wipe data/factory reset.
if you want to upgrade the firmware while you are at it, read this. we can not explain the procedure for every noob user again and again! it's not that hard...if you have any specific problems, report back here.
i recommend XWJM2 or XWJM5 from here

Already tried the simple factory restore and it just does the same thing as when it was before i did. loads up and then when it starts to load the data and the status bar it stops and then screen turns off and then back on and tries again. and again and again lol. I understand that you cant explain again and again and thats why im looking for myself but thought it was worth asking anyways. I have a feeling that the uhh is it framework file? the file that does all the status bar and stuff has gone weird and that didn't didn't get restored to factory settings when i restored factory settings as each time the phone boots, it doesn't show the status bar before it retries. And since the metamorph and the super battery circle indicator mess around with it. im assuming its to do with that.

woot got the phone working with a flash of odin. weird thing is that all my original files such as my back ups and the lag fix are still there in my internal sd card but i have no idea if they're still working because my actual apps in my app drawer such as rom manager have gone. Any idea what i can do now lol? should i delete the files and such from the internal card such as the lag fix files and the backups since im on jm5 now rather than JF3 that i was on before all this happened.

i think it would have been possible to save your old "installation" but not to explain to you how
when you flash with odin, all settings and apps are deleted. what remains is the data they saved on the sdcard. you can delete it or leave it, as you wish . i don't know which of all the lag-fixes you had running but i's not "active" any more so you can delete the files made by it if you are sure you know what to delete
btw. if you did a nandroid backup you could restore it now so be sure to do one next time you try new stuff

[Q] JB advice

Hello everyone, im a noob on here and have a stock gingerbread (JW4) but rooted gt-i9000. im past my 24 months and can upgrade my phone at anytime but i love my sgs but am a bit annoyed that sammy are no longer creating firmware updates for it. so i decided to root it with the intention of finding a way of missing ICS and going straight to jellybean.
it seems the only way to go is by installing custom roms, but as im not particularly technical and not understanding the mechanics that well i dont want to / i am scared of messing with the phone without really knowing what im doing. ive heard of kernels but dont know what they are or what they do. ive dabbled with rooting but that is as far as ive got and im not convinced im not gonna break the phone if i go any further!
I got so far (thanks to a senior member on here in other threads) but have stopped for fear of not knowing what im doing and getting something wrong, so im hoping someone out there who's been in my position will be nice enough to help me further.
so basicly im asking for some help to find and install a version of JB that is near enough to what samsung would of supplied. ive seen it on a mates s3 and i like it thats why i want it on my phone, rather than buying the s3 (big brick of a phone)
Thanking anyone who helps in advance.

first of all you shouldn't be afraid to mess your phone. it's really hard do brick it (believe me, i've semi-bricked my phone some times and it's running great now ). besides that, if you follow the tutorials exactly like as it's written you shouldn't get in trouble
second, do you have CWM recovery installed?

Hi and thanks for your reply! Yes ClockWorkMod root/recovery is where ive got to. The reason i finding this all so daunting is that is no 1 tutrial to follow, everyone seems to have a different way of doing it, either by experimentation or luck, and its just a bit confusing to a complete novice like me. I did try to find a How To section on here but it wasnt easy trying to trawl the 1000s of threads!

I was exactly the same at first but now I am on jellybean 4.2 the scariest thing as far as upgrading to jellybean is the error u get wen upgrading cwm wen u first flash the upgrade but just hold the 3 button combo for about 10 seconds an u should be back into recovery it may take a few Trys it did with me then reflash it twice to be sure any problems after that will have answers on their threads so as long as you follow the installation instructions you will be OK

the basic procedure to flash a new rom is this:
Put the file in your internal sdcard
Do a Nandroid Backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + wipe dalvik) i also like to go to mount and storage and wipe /data, /datadata, /system, /cache.
flash zip from sdcard
reboot
if you are going to upgrade from froyo/GB to JB i recommend you to flash any ICS rom first (once i have a problem with upgrading from stock GB to MIUI JB

Thanks everyone for your input.
I took the plunge and braved it and followed a tutorial "for dummies" and a youtube flick that someone had reference to the same tutorial, and decided on CM10 with GAPPS flash, and i now have JB 4.1.2. However i didnt either
1. do ICS first, or
2. do a Nandriod backup
!!!!!!!!
Got me worried now, I wonder if i should of done the ICS first - whats the benefit of this?
Nandriod Backup - what is this?
everything seems to be working fine, but i do have a couple of issues a) no 4x3 keyboard which i use for texting b) poor battery life.
im going to scour this forum for some answers, but if you have any immediate answers that would be very helpful.
Cheers
Geoff.

nand backup is just like saving the stage of your phone before you start to flash it so you can go back if you need to. if you have problem you can always flash a stock rom via odin but you will lose your data.
about the keyboard i don't know if you can have it with ics/jb but try swiftkey x. way better

Oh ok so no immediate panic about Nand backup then, however i prefer to write using XT9 or T9 setup (old skool) ill check out swiftkey see if allows it.

you should make an nand backup now! it's always a good idea to have one

Surprised you never lost your imei jumping from GB to JB missing ICS.
I've jumped like that before, but lost my imei and had no service, I only had to reinstate my efs folder, but it's done that 2 out of 2 times that I've done it. Maybe you were just lucky or something..

Oh really??? just checked an my IMEI number is still there and i still have service! Why would jumping do that? More to the point, should i back it up just in case and if so how should i back it up? what if i back it up now on JB, and it misses it when i go back to GB??
....got me worried bout that now!!

Its usually only jumping from GB to JB that does it. Just use a root file browser, i personally recommend solid explorer btw, go to root, find the folder called /efs and copy and paste it onto your external sd for safe keeping. Its no big problem if you do lose your imei then, just copy and paste it back and overwrite.

[Q] HTC M7 Dev Edition *Factory Rom Lost*

Hey everyone new poster to the forums here . Have a question about loosing the stock ROM for my HTC M7 Dev edition. I made the backup but I think when I formatted I formatted more then I should have because when I pull up TWRP recovery mode to restore a backup nothing is listed in the window. However when I go into the internal storage in windows on my computer with the phone connected and look inside HTC One\Internal storage\TWRP\BACKUPS I found a folder called HT34GW9xxxxx and a sub directory with a date on it and it looks like the date that I did the flash in the first place. That folder also has 13 files in it equaling out to 4.25GB in size. So basically what I'm getting at is how come I can see this folder here but not in recovery and even if I could see it in recovery this seems like it's not large enough to be HTC Sense 5.0 according to this thread and the downloads attached to it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2248997&highlight=nandroid
Also speaking of that thread considering the original M7 Dev rom is gone can I use that thread to restore my phone even though I am using TWRP and not clockwork. I'm not the greatest at these type of things, I don't want to brick my phone, and I never have enough time invest in this stuff. If I knew this was going to happy I probably wouldn't have done it in the first place lol.
Thank you in advance and sorry if this has already been talked about, I did a search but I must have skipped over it if it was already out there :\.

dont worry if u have htc one 64gb dev edition go to htcdev..com and download ruu file lock the bootloader and run ruu thats all

Thank you for the help. A follow up question would be is there a place to get someone's previous backup and download it like the link I put up in the previous posts user did. I really don't want to lock the boot loader and I would love to just be able to easily get Cyanogenmod back on the phone easily. Reason being is that right now the Cm camera just isn't up to pay with the Sense camera software and if I go to an event like I am tonight I would like to be able to swap back and fourth.

TWRP and CWM backups aren't compatible with each other. You'd have to flash the relevant recovery to use a corresponding backup.
You still have your backup though. You said as much in your OP. You just need to go into TWRP settings and specify the default location for your backups.
As mentioned above however, you can just flash the official RUU to return to stock

Thanks a ton!
Just wanna say thanks to the both of you for your help. I went with option 2 for now because I want to switch back to CM after the Cardinals MLB game tonight. I never lost the backup and you were right I just had to find the folder. It was weird I didn't see any button to search for a folder kinda odd how TWRP is layer out in that interface. Yet I found the backed up file and took about 10 minutes from start to finish. The device is still unlocked to so I can reflash CM when I'm ready.
A little off topic but does anyone know what the difference between the GSM Cyanogenmod ROMs and the AT&T ROMs are? I have the Dev version but flashed the AT&T version and it ran fine made calls and had no data transfer issues at all.

Ok so I actually started having issues after that last post. What was happening was I kept getting this HTC system update my guess the Camera software update but whatever. So I clicked on the update now and it downloaded like normal then reboot. After it reboot it booted into TWRP recovery well at that point I didn't know what to do so I just went a head and rebooted into System. Well here is where the issue started it said again system update avalible ok great install, same deal it just booted back into TWRP after the download. Back into system I went and again same thing.
At this point I desided to go into TWRP and do a system restore and I thought that worked cause it wasn't notifying me immediately after the launcher loaded to install the update. So I checked for it manually and of course there was one. Tapped on Install it downloaded and asked to reboot so I did...
SAME ISSUE AHHHHGGG! Lol
This will be the end of me haha.
Is there something I'm missing here? Can I not have root access or a a third party boot loader like TWRP or both modifying the system. What am I missing?
Ok thanks again, sorry for the multiple posts I'm just so frustrated at this point.

This my very wild guess. Try flashing stock recovery first and then install the OTA update again. That's just my wild guess I'm not saying it will 100% work.

No luck

Hopefully this helps..
What I did find was this link here...http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc...ml#post2827047 that's where someone else is having the same issue but on Sprint I'm guessing. So that doesn't really apply to me. However a poster further down the thread gave another link to all these "nandroid?" files. I'm not really sure what a nandroid is haha I'm such a noob at this. Basically what they are saying is that unrooting it then i guess somehow putting this "nandroid" file on it somehow. Anyone have any idea on this. I'm terribly sorry for my noobishness but I'm trying to learn all this and it's really frustrating at first..
Here's the link to the nandroid files. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2207874 funny thing is that I actually found that link on Android Central website so that I could come back here and repost about it again heh. Anyways does that look like something that might fix the issue that I'm having?
Even if this file does help I have no idea what to do with it but that first link seemed to have some video's attached to it although I worry about following them because it's for Sprint and I really don't want to brick my phone. (another reason I am being so careful) You pay over 600 dollars for a device you tend to be super careful with anything you do with it.

Sorry about that.

All fixed!!
Ok so I got it. I ended up finding this http://qbking77.com/development/how-to-unrootunbrick-the-htc-one-to-stock-2/
Worked great fixed everything. Linked to the RUU on HTC Dev website also so its official.:good:
So basically if Anyone need to restore to factory from a mess they have made follow this guide it works perfectly and he does an execelent job of describing how to do it in a video he posted step by step.

[Q] how to restore default system apps , rooted , deleted , no backup (what a noob)

samsung galaxy s 3 mini , virgin mobile , United Kingdom
hi guys and girls , ok heres the thing this is the first time I ever got my phone rooted , its great ive found loads of great advantages , BUT im having problems, not all the time but sometimes as I return to the menu all I get is a black screen with my apps (no background could this be due to something ive deleted?) , next up I never backed up my device properly, neither befor of after the root, (except for what basic files are on google drive and my Samsung backup, now since then ive removed a lot of junk off of my phone like google movies, book apps etc ....but how can I get this back and make my mobile appear "never rooted" if I ever wanted to send it for repair? I know I can re download all of this from the google store but will these become system apps again or will they know the difference? the backup that Samsung does , does this consist of the above or only basic files again?has anyone got a full list of the apps and bits that should be there ? sorry I know alot of questions , and finaly how do you update android when its rooted ? I keep geting a msg about not available something to do with my kernal whatever that is lol ?
oh ps: its great that everywhere I look I keep seeing all the good bits about rooting , would anyone like to make one about the down side ? ie no sky go , line apps etc... so many apps just don't work , I only found out a few days later .

do you have the original version only rooted?
if so, download triangle away from the forum~,run it and make sure your counter is at 0
next step is changing the system part where says CUSTOM it need to say official (about device -under settings)
for that you just need to unroot and to make sure every thing else is ok factory reset it
to unrooot, unbrick and original firmware see this thread here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159660

well im uning the original rom if thats what you mean I havnt changed that , ty im using super su pro , I can unroot directly , will trying triangle , unrooting and hard reseting going to bring back all the apps back? I herd otherwise befor ?
thank you

No, you have to either put them back yourself or flash rom again.

ok thanks to both of you , allmost finished now but is it possible to get hold of the original rom ? ie as it comes in the box ? or/and is there a list that I can compare what I have to see what I need to add? and with that how do I make an app I download become a system app ie , so once I unroot it will be undeletable?

You'll find firmware at http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
For apps to become systemapps, move apk to "/system/app" and change permission to 644 (rw-r-r-), reboot.

How to Restore Internal SD DATA without DATA LOSS & FACTORY RESET ?

EDIT
You just have to know, that there are some ways to restore everything
In my Case I had Bootloader unlocked already (ofcourse)
And I just was stuck on the TWRP Part... I never knew that was soo easy, but you just have to do it properly.
I will make an extra Tutorial now, because it will save many people from going insane
Because of this I didn't sleep for 40 Hours now already, because I was deeply shocked and some very very nice Pictures and important Communications would be gone... and much work in Optimization etc. etc.
Yes!
Link will follow here!
Here you go for the Solution!

Hi,
I just tryed to update from beyond rom 5.2 to 5.8 and so I flashed it...
Then I got a Bootloop, because I didn't updated TWRP before.. so I got into my TWRP and flashed TWRP...
But after that I could not got into TWRP anymore, maybe because I forgot to add multidisabler..
So I flashed stock rom...
However Iam now stuck... I have important Data on the Internal SD and also the backup,
But I only come to the points where it asks me to delete all my data.
Is there any way possible to get the data?
Install TWRP somehow or get to a system?
Please suggest whats possible?
It's an emergency...
Hope you can help me & all who have this problem one day.
Best regards

I can only get to standart recovery, normal firmware & system doesn't boot - Bootloop...
I tryd to flash older firmware (ASH1, ASG8 & newer ASK1), but it doesn't boot system, always ask to factory reset and so on....
really ****ed up...

I hope there is another Way, then directly extract the data from the memory component... wich would be very expensive...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXDUhhyY2rE

basically the new flashed standart rom erases itself after first start, probably because it detects, that the system was modified before (beyond rom) then it reboots itself and there is no system anymore to boot, then it goes in a kind of pre recovery with the option to reboot, factory reset (including all data!) or reading a log...
DAMN I SHOULD BACKUP EVERYTHING ON PC... ALWAYS!
Still I really want to find a solution and I hope some pro can help on the S10.

No Solution for this.... it seems.

Omg i found the solution and got everything back
yes!!!! Great stuff
