Hey
I'm on the newest CM9 from nk111
I tried CM10 by nk111, I made a backup ,wiped, flashed boot.img and installed .zip. No problem it worked fine.
Then I wiped again and restored. The problem is now that wifi cannot be turned on and I can't go to setting/apps I think it is because sdcard is moved and renamed to sdcard0 but how do I change it back? I can't do that using root browser
It all worked before I tried CM10...
When I reboot it says that the process system has stopped answering... please help me someone

Guessing from your question, you have unlocked through HTCDev. In that case restoring the backup won't help you - you need to flash the correct boot.img that matches the kernel from backup (possibly boot.img from the backup itself, if it'll work).

Yes that was so obvious that I did not considered it at all From the OP I thought that guy knows about the obligatory kernel flashing, even for a backup.
Still hard to believe how so many people do not actually realise what exactly are they doing...

say hypothetically I was to flash a new radio or rom and the device would not boot, i.e it was stuck on the HTC logo, how would I recover the device.
the reason fir me asking is I am about to flash a new radio and i hear this is the most likly thing that can go wrong and brick the device.
am i right in assuming that going the hboot and restoring from a previous backup will also restore the radio?

If thats the case is mostly a bad flash or bad file flashed, you will need to try to reflash again a new downloaded file.
and next time use Search
I used search but couldn't get a straight answer, but regardless you didn't answer my question, i asked how you would go about re flashing and restoring not the cause....
It can go wrong and brick your device if...
a) You unplug or disconnect the device while doing the flashing
b) You flash a Radio thats not meant for your device
c) You dont check the md5 sum and its a corrupt file
Restoring will not restore the radio..Flashign a RUU will
so the vodafone RRU from here

would work yes?
Make sure you do so nandroid back up in CWM before you flash anything. If your flash goes wrong, boot into recovery and restore.

Nandroid backups are always a good precaution but radios are a little different. If our device is like many that came before it, if you were to flash a bad radio you probably wouldn't be able to boot into recovery to restore a nandroid backup.

OK so we know the bionics bootstrap recovery doesn't work. I was messing around with Rom manager and flashed the bionics recovery and was successful. Recovery version 5.0.2.5. Then I booted into recovery from Rom manager and performed a successful backup! Gonna hold out on flashing the backup right now but I'm hoping someone that knows a lot more then me will look into this also and see what they think about it and can we possibly use everything without fearing a bricked device .
i successfully created a backup using the bionic bootstrap recovery, but im leery of trying to do a restore without having an sbf handy
Well I got brave and clicked the restore button using the bionic bootstrap recovery. I have 20+ days left to return the phone if anything went wrong. I backed up using the recovery, then clicked restore. Everything restored perfectly. I did not choose wipe data though, as I didn't think it would matter. Just thought I would add that bit of information. Hope this helps guys.

I just used CWM 5.0.2.5 to restore the system backup I made before updating, and indeed it worked fine. I'm back down to 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 (from 55.13.16 - 2.3.6) with seemingly no ill effects. IIRC, I made this system image with the bionic bootstrap recovery app.
Im still on 55.11.16 android 2.3.5 also, I know using Rom manager to make a backup took a lot longer then what I was used to on my OG. Just went through a restore with no seemingly ill effects. Has anyone tried flashing a zip yet? Just glad we seemingly have a recovery that is working.
my vivid will be here in the next day or 2. once i have that, i will risk the Atrix2 and start working on a rom.
Oh no Pirate your switching over to the HTC Vivid? I have been looking at the reviews on that device and it looks as thick as my A2 with the defender otterbox. I'm going to kick my cat if people start abandoning ship on the A2, bummer!
Awesome work on getting CWM to backup and restore. I would love to see some custom roms being dumped onto this device.
Nice! Recovery loads up smoothly on rom manager. This could get interesting...
If your bootloader is not unlocked be very careful as to what you flash!
Try a theme or something that does not affect kernals,
Just my thoughts

Thanks for the heads up!!
I'm unable to reapply the patch up to 55.13.15
Code:
contents of partition "boot" didn't match MTD:boot:8388608:9651a551679347926bb7589bb4b57d8dea357cb4:8388608:b56beaeb976b10b86cdbd38e87024ab16fe1197f
I've supposedly restored the boot partition with cwm, oh well.
This is probably to be expected. I'm guessing I can only get the stock boot partition back with a proper fxz flash to stock...
edit: I don't think cwm is even saving a boot image. I don't see one in any of my backups.
Makes me wonder what it's doing when I restore boot

No. I built several zip files to flash and cwm nor the bionic bootstrap worked.
I think we may have to wait for the official cwm release, with our device in it.

I don't think that the stock recovery supports nandroid backup. you'll need at least an unlocked bootloader and a costum recovery go make a nandroid Backup. So Only way is crossing fingers when flashing recovery.

GROGG can post to tell for sure but the deodexed version is for custom ROMs so in theory it should work on AOSP and AOKP ROMS as well. A stock ROM will be odexed, but custom ROMs are usually deodexed.

The odexed version will work on a factory 3.32.531.14 rom. It will also work on any stock based rom that are NOT deodexed (I don't know of any).
The deodexed version will work on any deodexed factory based 3.32.531.14 rom. This will include Steve0007's deodexed stock rom, and it should also work on ARHD 1.1/1.2... It could also work on others, but if any mods or themes have been applied to the framework it will wipe them out!
I have submitted this for the add-on section of ARHD...

In the changelog for Elegancia it says APNs were unlocked at version 2.0.0. Is this mod any different to what Steve has already done in his ROM?
whats the difference between your MOD and the APN unlock already built-in to a few ROMs, I see that you plainly elaborated the NO, they are not the same, but was unwilling to further distinguish them in the elegancia thread.
If happen to have a moment, I would greatly appreciate any information your willing to discuss on your own thread.

Alright here's what I did. Some info first:
Elegancia 3.0.0 (TMOUS Version)
Stock kernel
Proper Firmware
1. Made a backup of the Data partition because I don't want to have to re-setup everything again
2. Placed the .zip on my SDCard
3. Reboot into recovery and performed Factory Reset
4. Wiped Dalvik/Cache (even though reset wiped cache)
5. Installed .zip
6. Wiped cache again (could have probably waited until this step, but Grogg's instructions said to, and I must abide)
7. Restored Data from previous backup
8. Rebooted
Everything is set up exactly as it was before. Just thought I'd share what I did.

I will gladly discuss it here... Both Elegancia 3.0.0 and version B of my rom are using resources from 3.32.401.105 in order to achieve two functions:
1. Unlock APNs
2. Provide leedroid tweak compatibility
The only problem with this is the fact that they are no longer "true tmous builds". I refer to them as "franken-builds"... I have not gone through all the differences between framework-res, systemui, framework.jar, services.jar, etc... but I can tell you that certain small bugs have been reported with the xe build that others have reported as fixed in the official tmous version.
The APNs are written to apns.xml within the framework-res.apk. This is why we used XE components to unlock the APNs at first. You can distinguish what roms are built this way by the framework version:
TMOUS: 20120412.202737
XE: 20120321.232857
My unlocking mod is the stock TMOUS framework-res.apk, but it has the apns.xml from XE. This ensures that the rest of the rom stays in tact and that no bugs will be induced by mixed resources... I've also included this mod as an option during install on version A of my rom.

That's because your bootanimation is in /data/local and when you perform a factory reset you wipe your /data partition...

Just so everyone knows, Elegancia 3.0.0 already has the APN's unlocked. If you do this with the Stock Tmobile US rom and then restore your Data from the backup, it will put the locked APN's right back out there.

OK, Hi crazy... This replaces the framework-res.apk in /system, but a factory reset must be performed for changes to take effect because the APNs are written to /data on first boot. If you shortcut and restore your data partition then you're just re-writing the original locked APNs...

You don't need to be rooted really. Just flash TWRP and do a back up (just your boot image so it's a quick back up) just so it creates the backup directory structure on your sd card. Boot into android and just put the folder that you unzip from the file in the OP in the same folder /sdcard/0/twrp/backup/HT?????/ folder (you'll see a similar time stamped one that you just made) plop the unzipped folder into there and then reboot back into twrp and restore.
Or you can just flash CWM and then flash that zip like any other zip
Does anyone have the radio.img from the 4.3 dump? Would love to give that a whirl over here in the states, see if anything improves.
