URGENT

Hi, I have a serious problem with my phone. So here's the long story (sorry).
First I turned off my phone and turned it back on but it froze at the S logo and went on vibrating every once in a while.
I used odin to flash it but it restored it to eclair 2.1 and all my photos and music are gone. I was wondering if there is a way to restore the lost data.
Thanks.

Basically, no. Sorry.

My thoughts too. Unless u had them on ur external card the wipe erases them all.

Also, I was on android 2.2 prior to the flash but after, it's 2.1 with the AT&T start screen, is there a way to revert back to 2.2 rogers?

Only a master clear or formatting the internal storage would do that. A simple odin one click flash will not cause that.

And yet it happened...im quite upset. =/

im can put samsung galaxy s2 roms in skyrocket?

friends
I bought a Samsung S2 Galaxy Skyrocket the United States that came with the original rom from AT&T
but I found the 3G signal very freak.
The S2 skyrocket are very similar with S2 default, but i do not know if i can
put any from samsung galaxy s2 default in skyrocket !!!! it will works?
and how im can apply the roms in sky rocket ?
grateful
Almir

Absolutely do NOT put galaxy S2 roms on a galaxy S2 skyrocket. While the UI prob looks the same in a lot of ways. The insides of the two devices are completely different from each other. They both have different processors ect... only flash roms for the galaxy S2 skyrocket.

He is correct. DO NOT flash any roms except for the ones in the skyrocket thread. Only the skyrocket, and tmobile gs2 are compatible. Any others and you will brick your device. But read before flashing any tmobile gs2 roms as well. Research is your best friend with android phones.
Read read read before ever flashing anything

ok dont worry
but There is a fix to improve the signal 3g?? my 3g is terrible

hey
hey guys new to android and just have a question if you could help. just rooted my phone and tried flashing the cyanogenmod and the ics roms but they wont work the ROM manager takes me to the recovery mode part and i click install from SD card and it says it cant do it and im lost
thanks for the help

SO let me understand the problem. When you try to flash something from internal sd card it won't let you flash? if that's the problem than see if you can mount sd card. and do it from there. if nothing works than you might wanna unroot and re root it again.

Did you choose to install from sdcard or internal sdcard? You want to install from internal.

Well yes that's mostly recommended by devs but you can still flash it from external sd card. I done it without problem. But as you said always do it from internal sd.

[Q] SD card in recovery mode problem.

Hello XDA,
Im having a problem with recovery mode, my laptop and skyrocket read the sd card fine when in usb data storage mode. even when i check myfiles on the phone it says that the flashable zips that i have copied over are there. when i boot into recovery mode it gives me a list of dir's but when i go into the external sd dir nothing is there... Why is this? If anyone can help please!!! Thank you in advance. what I am trying to do is wipe my phone with The DarkSiDE SuperWipe and then flash the phone with ATT-ICS-Tmo-Port_2.zip. I have a Rogers Samsung Galaxy II Lte
Model# SGH-1727R. Rooted. Sim unlocked. Telus Sim in.

Are you picking install zip from sd/ choose zip from sd?

the only options i get are to apply update for sd, wipe factory reset and wipe cache. thank you for getting back. but it wont even recognize that anythings on the card to begin with.

apply update FROM SD that is.

Sounds like you have stock 3e recovery and not cwm.

ahh shoot! Ok i know what the problems is... my phone wont enter DL mode thaught i already had CWM in but i dont. Sigh! if its not one thing its another... been working on this since 5 yesterday... im starting to skip steps lol.

Bricked G2X

GUYS HELP PLEASE I nullifed my device, left it on all night (unplugged) because I fell asleep. Now, I can't boot to CWM.. I've tried to install stock recovery, but once I turn it on it just stays on the plain, white LG logo. If I hold down volume down + power buttons the same thing happens. Can you guys help me please. I hope I didn't permanently brick my G2X.

Try this method, this will bring your phone back to life. Make sure you root your phone again and install CWM.

No need to root, just nvflash cwm and flash a ROM.

Flash a ROM which is rooted
Sent from my LG-P999

Hey guys, I rooted my friends G2x and everything went fine until I flashed the ROM. Like an idiot, I did not make a nandroid backup...I downloaded BionixReloaded and up it on the sd card. Rebooted to recovery and went through the usual steps. I did a factory reset and formatted the system. However, when I went to flash the ROM, I got the "E: Can't open /sdcard/zROM/*name of ROM*.zip (bad). Now the phone won't reboot which I'm assuming is from formatting the system. I can still get into recovery and download mode....will this method fix the problem? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644#
Like I said, I'm not very familiar with the G2x, so any help be be appreciated!

I cannot remember for the life of me remember what that error means, but you can just re-download the rom you want and place it in the sdcard by mounting USB storage through mounts and system, and then flash.

Make sure the Rom.zip isn't named Rom.zip.zip. if so rename correctly, also can check md5 of the zip to ensure its a good download prior to flashing.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. I'm guessing it boiled down to a bad download, but for some reason I could not connect via USB from recovery on my laptop, so I brought it to my friends house and was able to get it to connect so I redownloaded the ROM along with another incase I got the same error, but it worked flawlessly. Thanks again to all that offered help instead of sending me a useless link via LMGTFY!

[Q] Help with flashing rom

Hey guys, I think I botched my tab... Stupidly I accidentally flashed a kernel that was not for my device...It's stuck in a boot loop, and I don't have my original CM9 rom to flash back. When I try to mount the sd card to my computer to try and put the CM9 rom back on, it won't mount. If I use an SD to Micro SD card adapter I can throw the rom back on and flash it right?
Any help is greatly appreciated. I am about to try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007876&highlight=stock+rom but I need a backup plan if it doesn't work.
Thanks!
EDIT: Guide worked like a charm. Won't be making that mistake again.

That would be your best bet. Everyone makes mistakes like this once in a while but make sure that you always create backups so you wont lose all your data. Best of luck

yeah...u can use that procedure to get back to stock which will unroot ur device..this is a safe procedure..
but, if can get a rom in your sd card, flash it and make wipes..it'll be shorter method i guess, it'll save a lot of time!

Haha yeah it's funny the download link for the stock restore zip was downloading 700mb at roughly 100mb/s so yeah...slow af. But it worked so that's all that matters.

I dont know about you but 100 mb/s is lightning fast to me...

Wow really? I can usually pull 1.3mb/s to 2mb/s on some torrents. Guess I'm in a good area.
