I would like to know if it's possible to make a Nand Backup via recovery screeen and then recover it in another Tatto, so I can export the ROM, with apps and settings to a friend's tattoo
If not, is there any other way?
Thanks in advance

i did that...it should work...for me all right
Sure it's possible! Since you have identical HW he will get an exact copy of your device (don't know if cache partition is cloned though, could be necessary when using custom ROM using cache as dalvik cache...)...
samsung
Do you think samsung is better ???
they may answer but some thing like "we know it is a problem, but we are working on it, and can not help you now..."

Well, I have to say that it hasn't been any success, so it seems not possible. Maybe there's something I gave made wrong, but it says that Nand backup is not possible.

you have to copy the content of HT99****** into your device's HT99°°°°°°°°
don't copy the HT99****** folder because that is the code of the phone backupped...it is compared with the device to restore and they doesn't match ...
so copy the subfolder of the desired backup to your /HT99°°°°°°°
try this
Hurrah! this has been fixed WOO!.
see here.
well done guys, you have made me a happy g2 owner again!!
Hi Everyone,
i figured we might need to clean up the
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805024
conversation.
as i see it, there are 2 issues
1. people receive an unlock code, the phone accepts it but then it cannot find any network
2. people receive an unlock code, have troubles entering the code but eventually get it in ok.
please do not post anything "setting" related - apn's, bands etc as this has been tried and shown not to work (yet)
it might be helpful if people who have issue number 1 could post some answers to some questions.
as i am not at all smart enough to work out what we need to know from these people, id appreciate it if those in the know could pm me what they think could be useful, and ill make a template for people to follow
troubleshooting template

Current Theories: (please PM me if i have anything wrong here or if i need to add details.)
-------------
Theory #1
Ghul99: the code is accepted, but the phone is still locked?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=121
------------
interesting information
this seems to support theory #1
1. i unlocked phone - code entered successfully, and i was no longer prompted to enter an unlock code
2. i perm-rooted my phone - all went to plan
3. i put the vision rom on my phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834450) loaded ok
4. i put a sim in my phone and now i am prompted for an unlock code.
5. i tried to re-enter my code but it would not accept it (it is the same code from step 1)
Nice idea for taking the initiative to clean up the thread which was getting excessilely long!
I'm hoping we can see some progress in a few days as I'm really missing being able to get any cell reception on a MOBILE PHONE!?
Regards.
I will summerize my knowledge later but one thing upfront.
IntuativNipple posted today in IRC that he found the way to get real S-OFF which would also allow SIM-unlock without code.
So there is hope for a solution, but keep your patience.

Just to help guhl and catch up with some unnecessary posts.
Common solutions like Reboot, different sims to try, Hard reset, flash stock ROM or trigger the unlock window to reenter the code doesn't work
Summary of my knowledge so far
For case 1 which was the original problem my theory is the following.
Cause:
Because of problems with the write procedure to the emmc memory the MCCMCN to which the phone is locked did not get cleared but set to an arbitrary value in my case "C3AB".
The CID value is still the same as it used to be (and also in case of a successful unlock would stay the same) which is "T-MOB010". The CID is a 8 character string and the case where all characters are the same (i.e. "11111111") is called Super-CID.
It is of no relevance if you use or used the hardware or software keys, T-Mobile or third party sources. The only reason where it would be your fault is if you pulled the battery!
The unlock-code that we possess (regardless if official or from a different source) is not valid to unlock the phone from this value "C3AB". If one tries again (directly with the modem, using my modified libril.so or a different ROM) the lock counter will increase.
Potential ways to repair this state:
1. Give it back to T-Mobile if you can In my opinion this is a clear warranty case
2. Find someone who has the MegaSIM and the HTC-diag software.
This will definitely work but it is going to be hard to find someone because the SIM is rare and very new.
3. Wait until (or help achieving) the so called "real S-OFF" state of the phone (when also the radio has security disabled) is reached.
When this is achieved one can disable the SIM-lock without any code.
There are still some very good developers after this goal even if for different reasons.
Which information could help us:
1. The output of the following AT-Command sequence from successful and unsuccessful unlocks
Code:
ATE1
ATV1
[email protected]?
[email protected]?AA
[email protected]?40
[email protected]?80
I will try to write a HowTo later for Windows.
For linux see the following posting from the old thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8750299&postcount=121)
2. The next thing that would help is a logcat from the first unlock process itself.
Howto:
Start the first logcat using the USB-cable and adb before you boot the phone with the foreign SIM.
Code:
adb logcat -b radio > lc_unlock.txt
leave the logcat running and complete the unlock procedure till the phone reboots (the logcat will end automatically)
As soon as the first logcat exits start a new one using:
Code:
adb logcat -b radio > lc_after_unlock.txt
leave it running for 1 minute and then stop it using <Ctrl>-C
3. The next thing that really would help is that you do not post anything in this thread (use the old one instead) that has to do with:
- the APN
- trying another SIM (you would be very lucky if you had one that fits the arbitrary SIMlock)
- reboot, factory reset, use a stock or non stock firmware
- use the hw/sw-keyboard, wait for the right outside temperature or other esoteric procedures
Finally I would like to ask moodecow to edit his original posting and incorporate or link everything that he finds important or helpful in his posting so that it will stay an top.
That is some very exciting news, thank you for the update!
One quick question, when we achieve radio-s off it esssentially would mean everyone could unlock their phones for free?
Thanks.

I have 2 ideas, which can help:
1. For people before unlock - maybe performing S-off before unlock will help.\
2. For people after unlock: in bootloader there is "SIMLOCK" option. When you open it, it shows file not found etc. As I think, it can be used to simlock phone for operator, whose numbers are in some file. There is my solution - find what that files are in phone's source code or by any other method, then put them in right place, enter numbers of operator you want to use, open that "SIMLOCK" and lock phone to your network. I don't know if it will work, but it makes some sense.

Your first idea sounds reasonable and I would support it.
Your second idea is something that is worked on, but you do not only need the correct file (which is actually called DMCID.dat) but there also has to be some "magic number" (like on a gold card) on the micro-sd card.
an important piece of info to carryover from other thread:
1- No APNs are listed
2- if you try to define one, it doesnt save
No APNs being listed is related to the rom more or less, not the issue we're having.
APN is software issue, correct me if I'm wrong so either way it shouldn't pose as an issue to us.
im saying its a symptom that seems to go along with the problem in the title of this thread, so, worth noting.
ie: i think everyone who has the post-unlock no-connection problem, cannot save APNs. all others can.
if you are a counterexample please say so. that would help.

i have got HTC MEGA SIM and Almost all DIAG files but
T-mobile G2 case =After putting unlock code NO NETWORK cant be solved because when we give s58 clear command it shows SIMLOCK CORRUPTED
i can post the detailed info and pictures if you want it would be a pleasure if could help in any kind of DEVELOPMENT
BTW
if we don t put code in the same version,same country,purchased in the same lot of handsets and use MEGASIM directly without touching anything than it works perfect

So if megasim has failed due to corruption I think that the only way to solve our issue is to write directly to emmc partition holding locking information. And I don't now how easy and plausible this is...
I think if we get S-Off for Radio, we'll be able to write to that partition. I hope

I am a little bit worried about writing this information directly because the partition will be encrypted.
And also copying the complete partition from a working phone or one that is still unlocked will not be an option because the IMEI will also be there and we would not want to overwrite that.
So my hopes are more that there is some kind of a restore procedure from a secure area (I know that Nokia phones can do this, but HTC ?) or that we can lock the phone again with the SIMLOCK option in hboot.

I just recently received the new Spring Nexus S 4G...Model GRJ22 with Android 2.3.4 installed. I'm looking for the proper way to root this device and came across this article: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-root-nexus-s-4g-tutorial/
I'm currently on Step 2 and wondering if a mounted SD Card is necessary in order to root the device? On my last phone, the Motorola Atrix, I was able to root without having an SD Card and install all my apps to the phone. Does the Nexus S not have enough room to do this and if I do install SuperUser directly onto the device, would I be able to recover/reset to factory in the future?
My second question is this. At the end of this guide it says "You now have permanent root"...
If I ever wanted to restore/reset this back to factory settings is it possible? (this is a business phone, provided by my company, not a personal purchase). I will eventually have to return this device. Do I need an SD card in order to reset this to factory?
Thirdly (for those that may know)...I'm trying to reset my Atrix back to factory settings. I've flashed back to factory, and even went and did a hard reset on my phone. It's wiped all my apps clean and took me back through the initial setup. However, if I go to file manager...I still see all the folders that were created when I had my phone rooted. Program folders, temp files, photos I took...why are all these files/folders still here? It seems to have unrooted, but how do I wipe the phone back to COMPLETE factory form?
Answer to question 2:
You can reset this to factory setting pretty easily,
You need a 'Stock GRJ22 4G Nandroid' [keep it safe somewhere]
Then when in 'clockworkmod' click 'backup and restore' > 'restore' > 'StockGRJ22Nandroid.zip'
Then all will be back to STOCK after this operation is complete [ie. No Root,No Clockworkmod, No Modded Rom]
The only thing left to do is go into 'cmdprompt' [win7] and navigate to your Android-SDK ie. 'cd C:\android-sdk\tools' then type in 'fastboot oem lock'
Answer to question 3:
Even though you clicked 'Factory reset/wipe' it will always keep the files on your '/sdcard' directory, its pretty good really because i store all my 'cyanogen roms',spare apk's and a backup or two.
I do not know the answer to question 1 but i would assume that you didnt need an external /sd as i have a nexus s [3g model] and it has 16GB built in, meaning all was possible without needing one.
Hope this help you on your rooting journey, i know it can be tough to get your head around but it will sink in eventually, even the most skilled face daunting tasks
Great! Thank you so much!
Could you possibly link me to that StockGRJ22Nandroid.zip file?
Does anybody else have any words of advice? I'd really appreciate it!
Also is there anyway to erase those extra files left on my Atrix? A program...or possibly a forum that lists the default files/folders I need to KEEP so I can delete the other files?
In my opinion the article you are referring to is poorly written and incomplete. You'll be better off using this guide:

[Q] ***URGENT Help*** ZTE Libra stuck on BootLoop because of insufficient Internal Memory
Hello there,
I have a very big problem and i need urgent help to Recover All data from an ZTE Libra android phone INTERNAL MEMORY who is stuck in Bootloop after ran out of Internal Memory.
I don't have made any backup of my Data.
I don't want to do Factory Reset yet.
I have tried wipe cache partition that don't work for me.
About phone: ZTE Libra bought on amazon, i think is android 2.2 STOCK ROM installed, NOT rooted, USB debugging NOT activated,I can enter Recovery Mode by pressing Power button + Volume Down + Home Button,I can enter FTM mode (Field Test Mode) - i think its called by pressing Power Button + Volume Up, I can connect it to PC - Windows 7 with USB cable in FTM mode and Wondershare Dr Fone Recovery program recognize it but i am stuck on 2nd Step where it ask me to activate USB Debugging and i am not able to do so, I can connect it to PC - Windows 7 with USB cable while is Turned ON and in Bootloop and My PC list it in My Computer but if i click on it is empty - If i click Properties it shows empty also, but it shows there,
PS. I also contacted ZTE Support directly by email and discussed with them about this, and ask them for a solution. i still wait for answer at the moment as they told me so.
After reading all possible forums since Monday i have found some information who make me think there is possible to find a solution, in the forms of some Exploits/Debugging software made by Developers,etc
I try to achieve the followings:
1. I want to fix the Bootloop or restore back the phone to its normal state so i can use it again.
2. I want to recover Phonebook Contacts from the Phone memory, Notepad Notes from the phone, Whatsapp Data from the Phone memory, Bookmarks if possible from Browser, etc
3. I want to know if i can install ClockworkMod recovery from the sd card and install an factory image or update without losing DATA.
4. I have found a script in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2138661&nocache=1
Is possible to fix the boot loop by trying to free some space on the internal memory with this script ????
5. Is possible to install stock rom without wiping data or how to update stock rom without wiping my data ????
Here is some info i have found on some other thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/help/soft-brick-bootloop-stock-recovery-t2806516
" Also search XDA for reactivation lock threads.. some people were claiming that they have found bugs /exploits that may aid you in recovering. You might also be able to dump the data partition from a JTAG interface - but that would be a highly technical, expert level procedure where a misstep could brick your phone.
And as a practical last resort, if nothing else works, try installing a firmware update instead of a full OEM image. That may replace enough system files to fix the boot process and might not delete your user files in the data partition. "
In the last resort i think i reset to factory and then use Wondershare Dr Fone to recover my Data but i have very important Notes and Phone numbers that i want to recover and i want to make sure i can save them.
What happened is:
Monday i was using Whatsapp and after several times getting an error that Whatsapp stop working,and Browser stop working - Internal memory ran Out of Space lt was less than 1 MB just few kb left , i was trying to delete some Voice messages from Whatsapp to create some space because the phone has only 100 MB of Internal Memory and in the last time always tell me it Runs out of Space.
I deleted the voice messages and then i turned OFF the phone in the idea that it will update the memory space and show how much i have left.
When i want to turn ON the phone it got stuck in the Bootloop.
First i did not know what is happening but then i searched on google and found out about this.
Please Help me. I need urgent help from Professionals and Developers, i am willing to pay also to recover my data. Any solutions, there has to exist a solution.
I am waiting for your answer, Thank you so much in advance.
2. i think contacts are saved on your gmail account.

My Samsung M30s was factory resetted accidentally, I had no cloud backup for gallery pics, (which are more important) .
I tried connecting thru couple of android recovery software from PC, but none of them seems to connect the phone even aftet enabling usb debugging also.
Any way possible way to get data back.
Most likely not.
Take it to a data recovery specialist that can access the chipset directly.
Even if they can access the files not overwritten already they will be sortable by file type only with no exif data, no time stamp, nothing.
Hundreds, thousands of jpegs from apps, downloads etc mixed in with the you want if they are even still there. You have to recreate the chronologic order from memory after you separate them out one by one from all the other ones.

I checked with local chip level data recovery person here in Hyderabad, they said new Samsung phones have different file structures as there is no user partion system data in new series of phones.
So data recovery after factory reset is not possible.
Anyone have some references in Hyderabad pls do share or DM me pls.
@All, if anyone knows or have references of any chip level data recovery person in Hyderabad, kindly share.
At present I'm looking for other options to root the phone and try with Dr. Fone recovery.

Don't waste your money with Dr f.
Rooting it likely cause more data damage or worse.
Set it aside for now but more likely than not that data is lost.
Personally I would have already wrote it off.
is chip level recovery same as this?
