Ive looked through the site and found nothing about this, so i was thinking last time i made a nandroid backup,Could we instead of flashing roms just restore each others nandroids thru recovery and list all the features of the backup and put them up in a post sort of like the rom wiki? Then EVERYONE could definately find a setup they liked....just a thought. I dont have someone else's phone to test it on. Or are the number names on the nandroid backup files system specific? Any answers or info would be greatly appreciated. I think this would be cool if it works because we'd have so many choices of setups if ppl put theirs up,and it would eliminate bootloop,time for flashing roms and any extra addons. Then you can continue adding to or removing from the restored nandroid backup if you wish, or you could just leave it.
this is how the moto droid guys flash their roms. seems like ours would work...
I too have been thinking about this...
Only Problem is that is stores /data
And that is your settings and passwords for any apps you have used or market sign in etc
Also of you had any paid apps you would also not have to have those installed or the other person would get them and that would be considered warez and just flat out suck for the Devs that make them
You would have to nandroid right when you flash the update before you setup any passwords.
Or you could remove the /data part but then more than likely it will FC on multiple apps
Just A Thought.....
I think if we put up a repository for ppl do upload their fav. setups with the following specific information:
1)Rom name and version
2)Kernel if changed
3)Apps and System apps might be alot but nice
that we could all benefit and see some of the things other ppl are doing with THEIR roms. It would give the ppl like me who get flash crazy rather quickly many more options. We could just label them starting with NAN RECOVERY#1, with all the details and then go from there....
you could skip the sign in the beginning and customize and upload, minus paid apps and stuff, that way your contacts and google log in wouldnt be stored. but yea it would work
edit: guess it wont work. haha

i was just thinking the dev could make a nandroid before they sync anything... restore any warez

everytime i try to rename a nandroid backup i cant get the phone to restore it...
This won't work, I've tried it. Ask me how? Well two of my Hero's died on me but thankfully I was still in the 30 day warranty period both times. Anyways everytime I've tried to restore my old settings from my previous phone but it won't take because it's a different serial number. I managed to get around that but once you flash the rom and boot up the phone EVERYTHING force closes on you. Even if you DO NOT have passwords/logins etc... There is your answer go try for yourself if you would like but don't say I didn't tell you.

NO spaces. Make sure there's no spaces in your backup name, use dashes or underscores instead
Hmmm.....

Thanks for the feedback,i did think this through way before posting. I would have become aware of those issues if i had someone else's device to test this theory.maybe if you want to upload you get your setup and set up your apps and then nandroid before you add your paid apps to your own setup. The benefit would still be the same, there are more good free apps that i use than paid anyway. So we would not be using warez and taking money from devs,and then just log into your own google account. That SHOULD work....

Date them with dashes and it will work, i do it every time to keep track. I still need another hero to test the serial number thing since you actually just named your backups the wrong way. So those results wont work. Because if you had named them the right way your results wouldve been different. Also we wouldnt change the exact backup name, we would title and then link to the file....thanks for reporting your experience

Danny, I too had to swap out my Hero and for the hell of it restored a Nandroid backup from my original phone. However, unlike your experience, I had no problems with force closes. The only thing that happened was that Gmail wouldn't send properly. I fixed that by wiping the Gmail cache. I don't think that issue is specific to restoring a Nandroid from a phone with a different serial number though as I've read others having the same problem on occasion. Also, assuming we'd be sharing backups that don't contain personal info on them, this Gmail issue would be unlikely to happen.
In any case, I like this idea. Perhaps we should be checking out how the Droid folks are doing this (as someone else pointed out). They might've worked out the kinks in this Nandroid sharing plan.
Any One Care To Help Me Test?
If anyone would care to help me test my idea,so to maybe get something going on the site for everyones benefit who like my idea and want to flash these backups, I will test someone elses if anyone is willing to send me one or a link to one;please leave the numbers unchanged for accuracy,or i can send someone one of mine becuase i have many from 1.5 and 2.1 with several different rom and theme setups that i would be willing to share to test out my idea. Anyone interested please just pm me...Thanks

I'll test it. just pm me the link. but I already know it works

Or you can pull the apps you use on your current ROM and push them back via ADB on the clean ROM. Kind of a hassle though.
ive done it, it works, just save the nandroid backup folder ie. BCDMRS-date-3463, inside the folder ie. /sdcard/nandroid/HT02yourphone/ with the rest of your backups.
then recovery, backup and restore, nand restore and select the backup u saved.
Thanks

You are awesome. Thanks for the info.
sorry if this is posted elswhere but i have look for the past hour for this answer.
i have the amazon appstore installed on my desire hd, but im in the uk.
i made a fake email and set it up to look like im in the US.
now i want to install custom mods on my phone but i cant remember the email i used to register with amazon.
no where can i find it mentioned in the app and no where can i find any data on my unrooted DHD.
i no what password i used but just need the email i used.
is there anyway i can find out which email ive used.
i ask because i dont want to lose all the free apps of the day that i have.
thanks in advance
Same problem here... I dont think its possible to recover login email. the appstore saves an encrypted file with your device data, so if you backup and then restore in the same device, should be no problem

i ask because i was stupid enough to believe htc when they said the latest update will fix wifi problems but instead it just unrooted my phone and left wifi broken
I tried backing up the swtor authenticator via titanium backup before flashing upgrade for rom..
After upgrade and restore of this app it seems the app crashes inside, deleting data is a no go, need this app restored to its fullest..
Any way it might be the secured partition for critical apps like this to be restored?
If so, how would i restore an older backup of that partition to a newer version.
I might add that im running virtuous 1.3.0 and want to upgrade to the 1.4.0.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Out of interest, why not just redownload/install the app after you have upgraded?

Thanks for replying!
Well the thing is that the application is bound to my account on swtor.com and the data stored is neccesary for the application to authenticate correctly, as it contains randomly generated login codes for my account.
Reinstalling the application means i have to bind it to the account once again, and thats not possible if you already have, now the tricky part, if you want to deattach an authenticator you need to contact their customer support (EA), and that can take up to 7 days to get any kind of help.
Now i want to take the easy way of just backing up everything neccesary for the application so that i may upgrade roms without being afraid of loosing the account access..
I don't think you will have any choice but to call EA and get them some help, I have tried this with the Google and Blizzard 2 factor auth apps and I have had to redo it every time, normally though you have special codes you can use in cases like this, google will also send you a text as an alternate way of authenticating.
The same problem here... got new phone and can't use mobile security key on the new one :/

That's a security thing, if you could it would defeat the entire purpose of having it, download and install it fresh ans set it up again

Clearly you haven't worked with Blizzard's version of this concept. They set their app up to allow a special set of codes to be generated just for this purpose, so you could wipe a device, start over, install their app, plug in those codes, and you're golden.
I already went through this nonsense with this app and had to call support to have it removed from my account, at which point they inform you that you will no longer be able to use a security key with your account. This, my friends, is what you call a MAJOR FAIL.
If I had more time to play with it, I would have started searching around on the phone for additional files that might have accompanied the app. I definitely tried the Titanium thing, but to no avail. They have got to be using some sort of key file, like RSA or something, but without knowing the details we won't be able to backup and restore this thing.
My recommendation is this. If you have the time, patience, and ability to search and have an idea of what you are looking for, see if you can solve this problem yourself and share your findings with the community. Otherwise, call support, abandon the app, and give the mental middle-finger to EA for their fail.

Interestingly enough the same company mad both blizzards and swtors security apps. Personally I wish I knew what I am looking for but I have been unable to find any additional file that will make it work.
Some other things to note is I saved the Serial number and Auth. Code that bioware gave me and after I learned that titanium backup would not work I pulled out my galaxy tab 10.1 and installed the app and reused the info to no avail.
Any help with this would be much appreciated! Thanks!
I read multiple threads at swtor.com and at the moment the only possibility is removing the sercurity key via the phone-customer-support.
So, no news on this front.
Does someone have news regarding this problem? Do we still have to call customer support?

For WoW when I had an issue, Flashed a ROM without realising the world of pain I'd entered. I had to go through Customer Support, they even wanted a photo document (driving License or Passport). Eventually it got removed.
After that I ran the authenticator on my older Android phone.
Your best bet is to nandroid restore to the original, de-link the authenticator, then install the new ROM and authenticator. Then re-link the new authenticator codes.
Eventually I gave up and just removed the authenticator from WoW, life is too short already.

That's the problem, with SWTOR's Security Key you CAN NOT add a new "digitial security key" once you've already had one attached. Their current solution is for you to buy a physical key, once they remove the digital one.
Yesterday i switch to another ROM, and when i reinstall SWTOR Security Key, it asked me for a serial number and activation code. I tried to restore app with Titanium Backup and other similar apps with no luck. Then i opened a ticket to swtor support team, and they respond me that i need to call customer support. After a 12 min conversation, and asking at 2 security questions they remove security key from my account.
After that, in my account i still have the option to attach a security key again. But i will attach it only when they will add a option to remove that security key from account manager.

If you flash roms often you should invest in mauth in the market its like 3$ I think but it lets you back up you wow auth. online and restore it to any android device. also I think you can backup the blizzard one with titanium back up and it will still work.
Delance; on swtor forum said:
before u upgrade, run the Restore feature in the app, you'll get a serial number and a restore code.
Write that down.
Then, when u get the new phone, you can use the restore feature again, enter in the serial # and restore code, and it will work for your account again.

There is no solution at that link. Read to the end--there is simply no "restore" feature associated with this app, and the current and only way to handle a ROM switch is to call Customer Support and have them remove it from the account...every single time. If there is something to back up, it's probably an encrypted file that cannot simply be restored, especially if the thing truly is secure. That's the whole point of an authenticator--security.
I just ran into this issue. I'm about to have to call Customer Support to remove it. I'm replying to say that after this B.S. I'm going to get the physical key. I was being cheap, but I preferred the physical key for WoW anyway, due to not having to find my phone, hope it wasn't dead, and deal with the constant crashes on the SWTOR android app. So basically, unlink the key, then buy a physical one if you want a security key still.
Removed!
In this link, if you already log-in, you can remove all security keys:

Just started Titanium Backup and recieved this notice.
Basically the notice says My device's ANdroid ID has changed. My options are to keep the new ID, ask me later, restore the previous ID
My first thought is to restore the previous ID, but I'm looking for confirmation before I do that.
Thanks!

I always restored my ID because things like the Kindle App and Audible look for the same Id or they create a new registered item...
Thanks much Santinelli!
I surived my first soft brick last week and am trying real hard to avoid doing THAT again.
I appreciate the guidance!

No problem, I would change rom's almost daily on my Nexus, so not having to reload my kindle stuff all time was good. And Audible only allowed me to change devices a couple of times before it would no longer let me register unless I called. Pain in the butt.
hello everyone
there is an app in appstore called pokerist from kamagames.

So is it possible to hide my IMEI?
Or with an app like permission denied?
Oh and ty for u fast reply
It may not be an option. If they reg by imei and you block it then it won't load most likely. I would find out why it is blocked
