[SKY] ICS visual voicemail

okay so i tried to redo the phone with the non FAUX SKY rom and i have tried it a couple of different ways, but i have lost visual voicemail. And as stupid as this is i dont know how to take an app listed on the page and install it to the phone. So i am sorry for my ignorant questions here. I just need to know what to do exactly in my noobdom to get back to where i had kick ass sky ICS and hopefully it not eat the battery. I went to bed at 11:30pm the other night with 62% battery and when i got up at 5:30 phone was dead lol. thanks in advanced. and i dont mind starting from scratch if i have too.

Dload and install Calibration battery app.
And follow the instructions and this will help u get good battery use.
For vvm get apk and install that.

Went through titanium and installed a few apps as I did a backup originally. But visual vm and 4 other apps are backed up but don't give me the option to restore. Any suggestions?

Just flash stock rom like venom or quikwiz or tpc's rom and install this rom and this way you will have fresh start. Unless you wanna unroot and reroot again.
I would appreciate if you hit that thnx button.
Y do you wanna go stock?
Litebulbcw said:
I appreciate the info. I know this may be stupid, but i feel like after i screwed all this up, Im still missing things like faux clock and such, is there an easy way to go back to stock and start over with this whole rom?

when i download the update, do i install from zip or do i rename it update.zip, then in cw choose install update?

First you flash 6.75z and reboot your phone and than flash other updates. You don't have to rename anything just select "chose from internal storage" and flash the update.

You are the man! I got everything back, well minus stock calculator but thats not a problem. I also loaded that newish spb shell, its very nice so far, and not a single FC. I owe it all to you my friend.

ICS flash problem (stay in LG logo)

I have CWM installed so I could flash CM7 easily for each night build.
I am thinking to try out ICS. back to about 2 months ago, I could flash to ICS but the camera doens't work out well so I roll it back.
today, I see a lot of updates so I decide to give it a try again. I follow the instruction until "9.When welcome screen appears, DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING, let sit for 10 mins." After I reboot, I don't see "welcome screen" I only see LG logo popup, then I see "LG Logo with waves" for 15 minutes and then nothing happens. I just wonder if I did anything wrong? thanks
I have ext 4

Would help if we knew what exactly you were flashing.

if your flash took only a couple of seconds.. then redo the flash until it takes more than 15 seconds. Your symptoms look like flash problem that is a known issue.

Sounds like he flashed Genesis ICS rom by Mr.Apocolypse

more info
sorry, I forget post more info.
I tried these two ROM:
1. HellFire ICS
2. Kang ICS
both have the same problem.
by the way, I did the backup before doing ICS. the first time roll back, it asked me to setup account like a new machine! so I did restore again. then second got fully restore. currently I am using CWM 3.0.1. I just wonder if this makes difference?
when I flash CM7, it took few minutes, but when I flash ICS, which is fast! only about 15 seconds. does this sound right?
thanks!

CWM 3? Update your CWM to the latest version (5.0.2.8 for normal CWM, or 5.8.1.3(?) for touch recovery). That might alleviate all your problems.

Yea I imagine you have an SD card just like the dude above me mentioned go with the newest cwm.Same way you flash 3

[How To] Nandroid back up

I just wanted to share this with the community because I've seen the term Nandroid back up being used, and some people know what it is, and others usually are not sure what it is. Hopefully this article will clear things up for everyone, especially when flashing ROM's.

I will try out the Zen toolkit next time I flash a new ROM. Thx for the tip. I've been using the nandroid back up option because it made restoring my data and system breezy easy.

Yep Zen tool kit does a full backup...nice

Nandroid restores for me have never successfully worked on my Sammy infuse but however with my HTC Inspire 4G they work like a charm don't know why but i have yet to give the ToolKit a test. Any reason why they wouldn't?

Great read

Stuck on Samsung after Restore
I noticed some of you mentioned having difficulty with backups. I am experiencing some issues too. Maybe you lot can help?
My issue is that when i restore it get stuck at "Samsung."
I'm on Infuse with blue CWM running one of two roms when I experience the issue. My main rom is Entropy512's CM9 with no extra modifications to it. I went into blue CWM, created a backup. I then wiped sys/data/cache/dalvik and flashed RemICS.
After letting RemICS settle, I went in and did a backup of it and decided to check my backup of CM9. I wiped s/data/c/dalvik and restored the CM9 backup.
I went in to reboot and got stuck at Samsung. This is not the first time this has happened to me. The only fix is heimdall or odin back to 2.3.6 cwm deodexed and rooted, then I have to flash bootloaders to start over with CM9.
So many people say that backups and restores through CWM work for them that I'm assuming it's my fault. Am I doing something wrong?

The only way I've had success with restoring a nandroid backup through any recovery (blue, green, red), was to restore ONLY the data in the advanced settings of backup and restore in cwm. Hope this helps.

Update Gone Wrong

Hello - I tried to update my phone from Infuse v2.2.3 to Th3Bill JB 3.3.2 and got in an endless loop. I then tried to go into recovery mode and do a restore. Checked the MD5, Erased boot and then started restoring boot image and thats where she has been sitting for some time. I will pull batter and attempt again however I may be hosed. Any help greatly appreciated.

It is not possible, that I am aware of, to go from Froyo straight to JB. You will also not be able to restore a backup at this point due to changes made on the phone in the borked attempt. You should be able to wipe data, cache, and dalvik, and after a couple of attempts re- install a Froyo rom from scratch. If you can't do that, do this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629079
Thanks to qkster and Entropy for this.

I had that issue as well. Only cause I like to see if I can be done. But no. What I do is go back to stock and rooted then flash a ICS ROM then make sure it boots. Then go wipe all stuff in cwm and flash jelly

Hey Pony, I was on the custom ROM Infuse v2.2.3 and not stock Froyo. I ended up doing the gtg ultimate unbrick to bring it back to stock and then did the full back to Infuse v2.2.3 and then did a nandroid restore. Everything looks good but it is acting a bit weird. Like I will try to open my applications or folders it sometimes hangs. I consistantly get it to free up by locking the phone and then unlocking it. Weird huh? Anyway I would be interested in trying to upgrade to JB but would like more instruction on that. Thanks for responding and if you can recommend anything that might help Im all ears.

See the post below - if you need more specific instructions let me know.
Thanks rkkaranrk.

Use Odin or heimdll to get stock GB Tom and then from there u can flash any rom u like just follow the instructions in the OP. You can go directly from GB to ICS but for JB u have to flash any ICS rom first and then JB.
Read the instructions on every thread.

[Q] Why does my new Atrix2 keep crashing and rebooting????

Hey guys, I'm currently on the ICS leak and SCV7 rom, and my phone just keeps crashing and restarting, I've cleared the cache and dalvik cache multiple times, I don't think it was doing this on 2.3.6. What can I try? I just took this thing out of the box

Couple things you can try:
Factory reset.
Try NOT overclocking.
And try removing the supercharger script.

Thanks for the reply, it was doing it on the leak as well because I had a lot of trouble getting it rooted. It seems that every time it crashes it goes through the boot loop, crashes at a certain part, then boots properly to the lockscreen. The phone feels awesome and fast but extremely unstable. Another problem I'm having, root doesn't seem to be working, "Super user has denied Super user request" nothing can get root, so I can't boot into CWM to try and wipe stuff properly. Maybe I got a dodgy version of the leak or something I'm not sure, I guess I'm lucky I didn't install the OTA and I can go back. Any idea on the root situation?
EDIT: Just did a factory reset in stock recovery, can you tell me how I can go about not overclocking removing the supercharger script? And once it boots, if it boots, I'm going to try and root using the ICS .bat root script and hopefully I can get into a custom recovery.

When installing SCv7 is it normal for it to get stuck on the Preparing SCv7 message and then reboot? I'm not sure if it's installing scripts and restarting the phone or what... Because it did this the first time I installed it, and it's doing it again now after a factory reset. If I can get into CWM I'll try and flash the rom again. Can I flash the other ICS rom after a wipe, or do I need to FXZ back to 2.3.5, OTA to 2.3.6, flash the leak, then install the other rom?

I installed the other rom based on the leak, same problem, tried without my sim card, without my sd card, just keeps crashing, boot looping, and being generally unstable. Atm I'm using Jims FXZ script to go back to GB, I'll update to 2.3.6, keep everything stock and see how the phone goes, I'm really hoping I don't have the same problems on GB, because if I do then it seems like a hardware issue, and I really can't be bothered sending it back. I'll keep updating.

Rdavisct has posted in the SCV7 thread about how to remove those, and yes mate, I think you're on the right track with FXZing back to 2.3.5 and the re-updating to ICS.
Let me know how it goes. I'll keep an eye on this thread. :fingers-crossed:

I need to get the battery charged then I can fxz back to 2.3.5. Hopefully it all works out. Any ideas what would have caused the crashing?

I hope it all works out because I literally only got to use the phone for about 5 minutes . Really liked ICS, super smooth super fast, screen is awesome. Crossing my fingers. My old HTC at least lasted a month or so before bricking .

I've subscribed to this thread so let me know if you run into any hiccups.
