Found a big glitch whit xrecovery.

I was on.free x10 i cooked my own theme didnt like it and.i went and installed some apps and.stuffs but when i restored freex10 again to take off my theme and let it be replaced whit the stock froyo one well all my apps was kept + the live wallpaper i had set before restoring again any clue ?

I am guessing you had the same apps when you backed up before you added the theme..... If so, when you restored FreeX10 vanilla, you did a full restore and restored your settings and apps.
If you want a clean install of Freex10, reinstall custom zip via xRecovery or don't restore apps and data.

I just restored like i always used to and it never happened to me i didnt do an advanced restore :/

You should have done an advanced restore, so you don't restore apps and data.

New ota update has anyone flashed?

Has anyone actually flashed the new ota that has come out on a stock non rooted device. I've seen that its floating around although I haven't seen any conformation that people have successfully flashed it and that it works.

Would like to know if it can be applied to a rooted iconia or if I should unroot first.

It's an incremental, not a full ROM. It should work fine rooted, but if you've altered, frozen, renamed or deleted ANY original files, it will fail.

See I haven't rooted at all and have the version 1.141.07 so it should be okay to update right? The worst thatll happen is it fails to install and I just go back to what I had before correct?

That is correct.

So just to confirm I wont lose my current data?

Not if you flash the FOTA when your tablet notifies you, no.

Ah I know that, I'm talking about flashing the one posted on the forums

It's a full ROM. When flashing a full ROM, it's always best to wipe data first. You can try without doing that; it might be fine, it might not.
Worst that can happen is you'd have to go back into recovery and wipe.
Do a backup first, a nandroid one in case you want to rollback, and a Titanium one for your apps and data for easy reinstallation.

Hmm, I thought the one on the forum was an incremental to 3.1?

Hi All
I've also got the system prompt to update to 1.141.07 (39.71MB). I have not rooted and have three numpty questions-
1.This I understand is not the Honeycomb 3.1 update?
2.Also I'm in the UK and got my Iconia in the USA- that does not have any effect on updating does it? I mean setting wise?- (dumb but I'm being very cautious!)
3.The Wifi issue people are having with this update is related to ROOTED tablets?
Cheers all

I was rooted and I flash the full from everything is working fine right now!

Is that a rooted one though and did you flash it with cwm?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

Market issues

I know the PBJ voodoo kernel I installed has caused my market not to work. I would like to know if there is a way I could get it back. I don't have a nandroid backup of another kernel. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance

well first of all, why didnt you do a nandroid backup before you messed with it...
well anyways..you could disable voodoo and flash novoodoo pb&j via cwm

I flashed three different kernels and the only thing that worked was restoring my nandroid backup...
What I went through is in the kernel thread... xP
Sent from my Continuum Transfunctioner

So.. is there nothing I can do?
And I did have a good backup before, but my sd got messed up somehow.
My market did work while I had voodoo at one point, but I don't know what happened to that :S

Yeah, I understand...
All you have to do is flash a non voodoo kernel, then install the dl17 clean rom.....
Making sure you do wipes...

After you convert back to non voodoo, of course! ! ! !
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App

flashing without loosing apps

Sorry, I am new and maybe this is a silly question. Can I flash a new rom without loosing my apps and their settings and my games and their saves ? Like backing-up all these.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

If you are rooted use titanium backup from market, but the fact you asked this indicated you need to study more before you start flashing roms
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

hahaha. Thank you very much for your quick answer ! Maybe you are right. The fact is that I already flashed my phone 2-3 times but never interested in backing-up. On the other hand now, I have spent a lot of time with it and I do not want to loose my apps. Is there something specific I should do with titanium back-up ? or I just back-up with this app and then, after I flash, I restore ? ( sorry haven' t used it before )
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Yeah you just backup before flashing, restore after. Bear in mind I don't think it is compatible between cm7/miui and samsung - based roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Well restoring app data can cause problems, but that is depending on what rom you are flashing to and from, and like any app you need to learn to use it I recommend paid version as it allows you to batch restore and backup

You may have problems with app data but I'm really not sure, you will know if you do because you will get a lot of fc of apps
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

thank you slaphead20 and jaju123 very much ! I will try to save anything I can with titanium. flashing is much more important for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Some games store their save files on the SD card (data or similar). So if you flash a new ROM, all you need to do is reinstall the game and you can start where you left.

Thank you !

ive never had any problems backing up and restoriing ONLY user downloaded apps between cm7, stock and miui using titanium. the only thing which would cause you problems would be restoring system apps..
if you wish to backup messages also and use them with other firmwares u could also use GoSMS, which has a backup function

Deleted phone.apk

Using the clean masters suggested apps that can be uninstalled to speed up the phone it has somehow deleted the phone app does anyone know how to get it back without factory reseting!

Just backup your apps and factory reset. It's the best solution. It will take you 5 minutes.

Well the phone apk is a system file so if its been deleted doing a factor reset won't help. All factory reset does is wipe the data partition where your user apps and settings are stored. Its not like factory reset uses a backup file to restore things.
I assume you are rooted to have done this. You may be able to find the apk from another two rom , extract it, and see if it will install. If not you may have to Odin back to stock to restore it if you want to keep the stock ROM.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

Do you Know how our where to Get the .apk file?

Unless you knew what specific apk you're looking for I'd Odin back to stock and start over. Good learning lesson
