So I backed up my phone after I found it wouldn't sync to save my contacts and all. Bricked my phone, got a replacement. NOW THE PROBLEM is that when I restore, my device lock comes up but the code (which I remember) doesn't work.
Is there a file I can NOT restore so I can get the contacts and rest back?
Man I miss my Treo, Palm Desktop was beautiful. Microsoft SUCKS
Oops. You're going through something which I too have been through. But,now there is a solution. Run that backup file exe. Go to 'tools'(right soft key)//advance options//tick 'dont restrore password'
Do tell me if u r successful in getting ur stuff back
PS: was going to sleep and posted this via wifi. really felt that u r in trouble

Ok, see once I run it, turn the phone on, the device lock comes up and I'm stuck. The only options it gives is to cancel. How many times can I put this thing back to factory settings before I brick it? Walk me through this like I'm stupid! LOL I thank you for responding, seriously!
After I this, I gotta do the memory increase... grrrr

You wont be bricking the phone that way at all Do a forced hardreset(both softkeys+softreset button)
Now, follow these steps
1)click on the backup exe file
2)go to tools>dont restore password
3)also uncheck stop all processes
4)dont go in for 'full backup'. Do a custom restore and select only PIM and my documents from it.
you can always install the programs after that because IMHO the PIM data is far more important
keep us updated
THANK YOU!!!!

OOps didn't even do the hard reset just did the back up options and it worked! ty I would've been upsetting myself trying different scenarios on my own so I appreciate this! Chick be dying without them numbers ya dig? Oh my calendar. I will be back this up to my storage card EVERY WEEK or day if need be, cause this was so wrong.
Now to fix the damn memory issue...I know the thread is up and they say it is good...
Glad to know that it worked for you
similiar problem i guess
hi i am also using htc herald, i just flashed my ROM and the new rom is working fine. However i tried to backup my stuffs using spb backup, and i chose full restore(which including system setting may be) and since then my phone just wont boot up, only 1 screen showing smart mobility is appearing constantly. Do this have anything to do with me flashing the phone? And what are the solutions can i try? Thanks a lot

SPB backup doesnt let you upgrade/downgrade between ROMs. To be on the safe side, just restore PIM+my documents after ROM upgrade.
Follow the steps exactly the same way I've listed in my previous post
thanks for ur reply, i hard reset my phone and luckily it is starting to boot up and this time i din restore the system back up and now my phone is working fine. Thanks again.

Install ADP1.1 JFv1.41. It will allow you to skip registration and to do it later over wifi
what is the procedure to install ADP1.1 JFv1.41 I have just downloaded rightly it but I don't know how to install can show it you me all those that it is necessary to install it
The instructions are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3219972&postcount=1
JFv1.41 can be installed in the usual way. Save the zip file to your sdcard named update.zip, boot into recovery mode (home + power), and then press alt+s. If you are switch between versions, e.g. from RC30 to ADP1, you must also do a wipe in recovery mode (alt+w). This will clear all your data/settings/apps, and you will have to re-register once it boots back up. If you are staying on the same build, i.e. from JFv1.31 RC30 to JFv1.41 RC30, then you shouldn't have to do a wipe.

But you also need:
Note: To install these updates, you need to have a recovery image that uses test keys. If any of the following are true, you most likely have a recovery image that uses test keys
* you have installed my modified recovery image in the past
* you have an ADP1
* you currently have one of my modified firmwares installed

Hi there,
I am pretty new with this stuff, as I just got this phone today. It came with Froyo2.2 so I unrooted it back to the original JFK.
It did not come with a sim card, so I do not have a sim inside the phone as of now. But I do have a bell sim that I will use after to put the unlock key in... Is that okay?
I Connected the vibrant through Mini Kies and the MTP application says its connected.
I just re rooted from J16 back to the original.
I have the 64 bit drivers installed.
When I try to run Generate Unlock Windows Script I get the following error message saying...
Copy nv_data.bin
*daemon not running. Starting it now *
*daemon started succesfully *
error: device not found
error unable to find file <.\nv_data.bin>
could not find C:\documents and settings\1\desktop\key\generateunlockwindows\nv_data.bin
Anyone know what this means?
Or know what to do in this situation?
I am not sure if I should try installing the 32bit drivers or what.
how did you downgrade the phone from android 2.2?
I just bought the phone through ebay with the OS already at 2.2, and the phone is locked to t-mobile. I've heard it is not possible to unlock it with the 2.2 update. Is that true?

Yup, having exact same problem. If you find a fix let me know.
Make sure your usb setting is on debug and you have all of the files for the unlock on your pc. You also need java installed.
That method worked for me from stock.
can someone answer my question?

I don't know whether the unlock methods work with Froyo but you can download a 2.1 stock Odin in the forum.

Fixing so-called "Bricks"/Odin Errors
This guide is open to contribution/editing/correcting
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BOOT CYCLE
This is where you get the annoying Samsung Screen/Galaxy S screen.
DOWNLOAD REQUIRED (CREDITS TO JUSTANOTHERCROWD):
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen (keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
3. Open Odin (in Administrator if you're running W7 or Vista), try one of the ones I attached to this post, at least one of them is bound to work, some don't work for me, but works for others, some doesn't work for others, but works for me, whatever floats your boat
4. Load in the files into Odin that you have downloaded from above Just load in the files corresponding to the text field.
DO NOT CHECK REPARTITION.
5. Plug in your phone with the DL mode
6. Click start and wait for the magic
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NO-BOOT PHONES
This is where your phone does NOT turn on, no combo of buttons works and power button does nothing.
DO THIS ONLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR PHONE AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN!!! If else, follow the steps from above.
This method is basically same as above, EXCEPT the way you get into Download Mode as your phone is HARD BROKEN.
1. Download all the files required in the "BOOT CYCLE" section of this post.
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
8. Follow steps 4-8 from the "BOOT CYCLE" section.
Troubleshooting:
-Odin stuck at some random process?
*Switch to another odin
*Make sure you did NOT check repartition, if you did, just repeat all the steps over again, except for the downloading parts, obviously.
-Phone not responsive?
*Try "NO-BOOT PHONES"section of this guide
-Phone stuck at Galaxy S logo screen?
*Put it in to DL mode, and run Odin again, it's just a bad install.
-All three ODIN is nonfunctional, stuck or giving "FAILED" errors?
*DO NOT CLOSE ODIN ONCE IT HAS FAILED!
*Unplug your phone
*Replug in your phone, get it into DL mode
* Unplug once it is in DL mode
*Replug and ODIN should recognize your phone
*Leave all the settings the same, then click "Start" again.
-Cannot get into download mode using the method I listed? Use the method(s) below:
Soldering Method
More methods coming soon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know how much of a pain posting in the Q/A section can be and the wait time is pretty bad, so if you need help regarding UNBRICKING and ONLY UNBRICKING feel free to post in here.[/S

If you want help you are going to have to be a lot more specific. What have you actually tried?
Just a tip, people will not help you on these forums if you ask for help without showing you've tried to solve the problem and know how to search.
There are loads of unlock threads. Almost everyone get one method to work eventually.

If you are talking about FRP lock yes its possible to bypass it, you only need to have a computer with SideSync from Samsung or an Usb otg cable to install an apk and bypass this thing easily,
I will provide you 2 links to bypass them, i hope it will help you

You can search for combination file instead, I got those sites here and here from just typing "G955W combination file" into google.
If it still fails - Though I doubt - try this tool then, I can't confirm if it's working or if it's safe though.
Also code is encrypted so I can't confirm if it contains malicious code. So it may be unsafe both for your android and for your PC lol.
Maybe you can use it on a windows sandbox.
