So ever since I have updated my evo to 2.2 my gmail doesnt push. sometimes one account will but the other wont. I have to manually update it to see new mail. I am not rooted . I used the Mybackup app to back my phone up and did a complete reinstall of stock software. That did nothing except not my contacts wont sync with my gmail. it sucks. Please offer help if you know anything.
My second part is that I was thinking of trying Root out by useing unrevoked. which unrevoked should I use? and what is the difference. Im new to this. My main reason for rooting is to use the wifi hotspot. any thoughts? I also was wondering if I root does it wipe my phone and all settings? and if I want to un-root later will that also wipe my phone back to factory and lose all my data and customizations? any help would be great. thanks!
someone has to be able to help in here. please

New to android here
Rooted phone cause of battery life
I have AntTek App Manager
Watchdog Lite
and other cool/fun apps
Now, I did an update on my apps the other day and looked at all the apps that are currently running (got obsessed with killing apps so i can extend my battery life).
All these new things were running (didnt want to touch them until I googled them).
I froze FlexProvider 1.0.0 which wasnt a good idea. Rebooted the phone and still not functioning the way it used to... Click on browser and I have to force close it. I defrosted FlexProvider and browser still isnt working... another kicker, Im getting no data connection as well on tmo. I connect WiFi and I get everything, except browser.....
Now, before I do a factory reset... is there a way to fix this before I do that drastic route (that is if that would work). Secondly, i use shopsavvy and I dont want to lose the things I scanned and saved. I've been lookin online wondering where that gets saved JUST in case the phone has to be brought back to OEM...
Any guidance or assistance would be greatly appreciated....
thank you
forgot to mention... when i reboot the phone, in the beginning upon boot up com.lge.omadmclient has stopped exptedly comes up when you unlock the phone
Thaw the apps you froze and it may recover just fine. FlexProvider is required to transfer data to and from the device, hence the browser FC and no data connection.
U should be fine but you shouldve done some research on this forum before just freezing apps

Done that, still no go. Researched app before I froze but did not see anything about it doing this (saw a post about it outside of this site, sorry).
Any other suggestions? Would you guys know where shopsavvy saves the scanned images
Not too good at troubleshooting here. The only help I can give at this point is to flash ClockworkMod and restore the rooted stock nandroid image in the development section.

Unless there is a ROM there (not image). Then you could simply flash over it. I would format /system before you do that if you can find one (plus wipe cache and dalvek).
thank you all
I have decided to factory wipe it. Too scared to go through all of that and possibly brick the phone..
I want to thank you all for your input though...
I rooted and installed TB on a friends infuse, he preceded to erase accounts and sync on accident while he was dumping some att stuff. At least that is what he says.
I tried restore from TB and it just hangs. So then I force closed tb.
any advice?
On his batch menu in tb "accounts and sync" has that black strikethrough through it.
I'm not quite sure what he did exactly, but before I gave him back the phone I made a backup in tb. But this isn't working, so I'm looking for a solution.
thanks for any help.
I'm fastboot , adb proficient, but Im no expert.
Having made the backup with TB of the apps. I would suggest using Odin to restore back to stock and then you can restore the apps back onto the phone with TB. Remember, just apps... not system data. There may be a more simple solution, but this should work.
yup, i'm thinking that to. I was just reading about odin. I tried just a factory reset and then rerooted but it doesn't show up.
thanks dude
seems like I would need the apk and one other file? if I could just get those copies if someone wanted to email them
I was contemplating the option of the files as well, but I don't know if uninstalling them, however he did it, removed anything else or just the apk. Even on that note, I'm not 100% certain if getting the apk from someone else would fix it, but I suppose it is worth a shot.
I didn't want to go as far as a custom recovery on a phone that this guys knows nothing about. That and I don't know anything about samsung.
looks like I'm going with Stock_Deodexed_Root_NoBloat.zip
or would GTG's_Ultimate_Unbrick.zip be better? oops, I meant this one
Odin_UCKE3_v2.zip
I think the Ultimate Unbrick is a safe choice. It returns you completely to stock as well as removes root and the custom recovery(if you have it).
It's a decent option for anyone looking to revert back to where they started.
Obviously the stock+modded recovery and root is a nice option as well so that you don't have to do the steps separately, but that's up to you.
thanks for your help.
I don't think I'll ever get away from nexus phones after seeing what's behind this.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Nexus S (i9023) with Android 2.3.6 (GRK39F). The bootloader is still locked. I would now like to back up my (application) data to my local machine. I would like NOT to upload my data to Google.
I found out that Titanium Backup requires root, and rooting is usually done by first unlocking the bootloader, thus wiping the data I want to back up. Is there a way to back up my application data (e.g. Browser Bookmarks, Angry Birds savegames, Widgetsoid settings) without already having root, or getting root on 2.3.6 wihtout wiping my data? Or is syncing the data to my Google account the only way to keep them? (If I do, will they be restored correctly if I get a different Nexus S or Nexus Galaxy, root it and then add my account there?)
I could not find any thread about this on 2.3.6, so I'm asking. If there is and I just failed to find it, please just link me to it.
Update: Just found a thread on another board saying that the zergRush exploit works. I'll probably try that one. Can anyone say how (un)safe it is?
Update 2/Answer: Use the ZergRush exploit, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582. Worked perfectly.
Kind regards,
Jan
Does this work with 4.1?

I just upgraded from my Nexus S, but I'd love to get my Angry Birds progress off. I'm running Jelly Bean, and now I'm really kicking myself for never rooting my Nexus. I am really struggling to find a root method that works with 4.1 that won't erase the very data I'm trying to migrate off.
Does the method you link to work for 4.1? It seems to have been designed for 2.3.6 and I don't see very many updates since then.
I tried asking this in the Droid 2 forum but no one knew how to help.
So i'm gonna try posting this here, sorry if this is against the rules.
I have a droid milestone 2 that is no longer getting service from anywhere. No calls, no text, data and (curiously) no ability to connect to wifi. Went to bed one night, woke up and almost called off work!!! The phone is not rooted and I still have full access to the phone so I backed up everything that is on it and factory wiped it with no luck. Called Verizon, they reset it to defaults a second time with no luck and said that it was a defect with the software.
My question is that if it’s a defect with the software, would upgrading the firmware to ICS help?
If the answer is yes, can I even do it without data on the phone?
I looked up how-to’s on how to flash the firm ware and found a wiki page that helped
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/(deletethis)Motorola_Droid_2:_Full_Update_Guide
but this only worked when flashing to Cyanogenmod 7, the software downloadable from the page did not work with 9.
I know the apps I need is clockworkmod Recovery but I cannot install it from the app store because the phone isn’t getting any type of connection, and the version given from the wiki page can’t do Cyranogenmod 9. So I need an updated .apk file of clockworkmod recovery mod to upgrade the phone to ICS
Any help or guidance would e very very appreciated.
First off you never want to flash using Rom manager so u need to manually put clockwork on with a PC ... the version of clockwork will not matter you can still flash ics ..... flashing may help and it may not it depends on what the problem is ... also not to be a d*** but is the phone in airplane mode?
YouTube will show you how to do all this

dude you cant flash roms or sth like unless you have a rooted phone. guess your phone is already rooted.
you did already backup why dont you make a full wipe and flash a proper rom. you can revert your phone back later if you want
My phone's been rooted ever since i got it and the only reason i was looking into unrooting it is because work email app won't install on a rooted device. i didn't want to return to stock and lock my bootloaders and all that as i really like the rom i'm using, which is Trickdroid 8.1. a lot of searching on the internet and several discussions pointed to using the unroot feature in supersu but i was under the impression that data on the phone would not be lost/deleted. boy was i wrong.
i went ahead to unroot in supersu and it took sometime to remove itself along with superuser app. unrooting seem to have worked as i am now able to install work email app BUT i just noticed all of my data is gone. anyone know what the hell happened?
I know there's not chance for me to get the files back but i'd just like to understand where I went wrong (if not). other than not backing up everything beforehand of course.
