Help before flashing Rome again

Just wondering is there a way to do a backup of my stock showcase before flashing roms as I had problems on last phone with Bluetooth once going to froyo and wanted to try with the new showcase but just in case had problems I could go back also does anyone know why the Bluetooth would disconnect and phone would vibrate and could never reconnect without repairing. Any help is appreciated

I always use Nandroid in CWM. That's has been the best way for me to backup and restore my phone. I'm sure there is other options but that's the one I use. As far as bluetooth. I have noticed in a lot of the ROM threads that some do have issues with bluetooth. Some of the ROMs are not 100% complete and are still a work in progress. Hope this helps.

[Q] Wifi issues.

Why does my wifi connection disconnects and connects a lot? I am on cm7 but I know it's not a rom issue because it was also happening when I was on infused 2.2.3. I'm on the j2 leaked modem, but it also happened when I was on the i3 modem or the i4, I forget which.
I don't believe it's my router, because there's a solid signal when I test it on the laptop and on our roku.
What do you think the problem is and how can I fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Edit: I am coming from the Jordan's j2 rom. It first started happening on the infused rom. Restored back to stock and went onto the infused froyo. Haven't had a problem on that rom. Then j2 came out and flashed that. All was good until last night. Flashed cm7 this morning and made sure I did a full wipe. It's still happening.

Any ideas? Did a full wipe and flashed cm7 again. Back on i3 and still the same. Restored my apps without data through tibu.

Yeah. It's getting annoying. Lol ill try to go back to stock using gtg's ultimate unbrick. It worked last time I did that.

Okay so what I am noticing is that the wifi on my phone is constantly scanning for connection. and when it finds my wifi, it tries to connect with it, even if it is already connect. so it forces it to disconnect, then connect again.
anybody know how to stop this?

I'm stock and don't have the issue, also have tried Infused/GSInfuse and didn't have the issue, though I didn't stick with either of them for more than a few days before going back to stock. I use mine on wifi at home and work without problems at all.

Hmm yeah I don't know why it's doing it. It didn't do it before. I'm still trying to figure it out.

It was happening before cm7 so I know it's not a rom issue. Started to happen in infused and carried into the gb leaks. Stopped for a while, and it's happening again.

Update: wow so far my wifi hasn't disconnected on me yet. So I'm guessing it's is something with the system binaries or whatever you want to call it. Before it would keep scanning and force to disconnect and try to connect again with my router. Still testing but so far so good. I would recommend that app to anybody who's having the same problem as I was.

Sounds like the radios got messed up because of a possible bad flash. Try re-downloading Tweakstock v1.4.zip and reflash in CWM. If that doesn't work, ODIN back to stock and then install Tweakstock. That's my best guess.

Your radio probably screwup. You need to Odin the factory stock image and the PIT file. Download PIT file and factory image from here, then ODIN to your phone.

Another thing I can think of is make sure 4G is working in your area. If that doesn't resolve the issue then give Verizon tech support a call and they can reset your phone ID on their side. (This is same as when you bought your phone and tried to register and it's not working, but they can reset and it should work after that) unless you have hardware issue.

If you still can't get it to work Odin back to original stock and take it in to the Verizon store and play dumb. It may be a little dishonest but it's worth not having a phone with no ability to call, text, or use data.

Haha, try flashing the actual radio itself-if you look somewhere they have it as a separate file, in the same thread with the stock stuff. My radio has also mysteriously gone kaput before and that's always what fixes it.

That's one thing I didn't try.. But we called for a replacement, and they sent him a brand new moto droid 4 on accident, and there letting him keep it.. He's happy. Ide sol rather have a charge, but the droid 4 is by far in my opinion the best phone moto has ever released

Droid Charge Stuck In Some Kind Of Test Mode

So I'm trying to fix a phone for someone but I can not find a way. Basically the phone says the IMEI is all 0's and even if you put a sim in it has a O with a line through it instead of service bars but still shows the 4G icon. Also it has all this stuff written on the screen that I've attached pictures of. Going into the settings says all 0's for the IMEI. I've tried factory resets and using ODIN to flash stock but no luck, I've thought of just restoring the IMEI but not to sure that would solve it

Yeah it looks like you need to restore the IMEI. Worth a shot

EFS is wiped and needs to be reprogrammed. Did this happen randomly? You can take it to Verizon and they can fix it as long as the device isn't blacklisted.

Can you get the phone to download mode? If yes you can get the phone restored to original settings. Based on this picture your kernel might be messed up. It is just a guess.

Can rom installation fix network problems on stock ics?

First post
Anyways, Ever since I've upgraded to ICS, I've been having serious cell-related network connection problems on my tmobile iemi-unlocked atrix 2, mb865(NOT Wi-Fi connectivity problems.) My signal is constantly going from 5-1 bars (several times a minute) in places where I previously experienced a solid 5 bars with gingerbread and my (also unlocked, on tmobile) iPhone 2g. Also, my carrier logo is disappearing and reappearing many times a minute as well. (Even when I have 5 bars.) Sometimes , I just get a red triangle with a white cross inside of it where the bars should be.
Sometimes, these problems are temporarily fixed when I enter airplane mode for a few seconds, then exit it. But within 15 minutes of exiting, I begin experiencing the same problems. Other times, they aren't fixed through entering/exiting airplane mode , and I have to reboot the device.
My question is, will installing a rom perhaps fix these problems? Since my network was fine on gingerbread, it's obviously not a hardware problem. I'm rooted, of course (but before rooting I experienced these problems as well.)
I obtained the iemi through at&t and not a shady third party unlocking business, if that makes any difference.
Thanks a lot in advance!

Well it can't hurt to try a new rom.... wait it can haha but yes sometime even a factory restore can fix a lot of random issues. My buddy was running stock gingerbread on his phone and it had a messed up usb port. I then put CM7 on it and it worked magically so it is a possibility. I am currently running numa and it fixed my wifi issue where it would randomly turn off. But I think a good old factory restore could maybe fix it,

Try changing network selection from automatic to either 2g or 3g..it worked for me on my searet ota..

Alright! I guess I'll try the restore first. Do you think it'll wipe my unlock? And I have titanium backup, so after I restore I can just restore things from it?

I believe your unlock will be there still. I could be wrong though. And if you have a sdcard it will be unaffected by the factory restore and new ROMs. But its a good idea to back it up every blue moon. And yes you can get your apps and app data back with titanium backup. Make sure it stores to sdcard and the same with ROMs.

I guess. Does the warranty last for a year?
Also, I backed up to titanium, did a factory reset, and restored from titanium. I still have the same problem. Could I possibly freeze some apps (using Gemini app manager) that involve the sim card? Would that avail to anything?

Yes. At least in my country the warranty is for one year. But, if you bought it the phone with the two year contract i think, the warranty should last two years.
And the other thing, i have no idea man. Sorry. I never experienced that, and i don't know what happen there. But, my advice is that you must go to the warranty and try.
