how do i go about finding that out? 'tis all bank (here i noob)

went through SE set up instead of closing it like I usually do, IDK what happened diff, )after factory reset, but that's my advice: if all else fails factory reset then make sure to go through the SE set up step by step

here's a simple way, download the attached zip, extract it and copy it to your sd card
so you should have this:
SD/ApnBackupRestore/something.xml
use wifi and download 'apn backup & restore' from the market
open the app
restore
select that back up you just put on your sd card
this is a backup of my att apn's that i know works, and i am on the .71 baseband

if you don't have wifi, here's apn backup and restore
download this, move it to your sd card, install it (hopefully you have a file browser installed). make sure you have unknown sources checked in settings > applications.

working
like i said not sure if it was the factory reset or the instructions followed. but i must report wiimote is working emulators working, boots are stupid fast...
"F!" ATT for keeping this from us. loving GB thanks DEVS for holding us over till this!
P.S. Can't wait till this gets modded
also, my connection started out slow, but now is "blazing"

more
logcat boot animation works (had bootloop troubles on custom ROMs before) did i mention its stupid fast? ADW launcher works as well as backup/restore settings from ADW app.

bed time
more tomorrow

updated to GB. Did not have data connection but I opened up my browser and pop up showed up saying att. Click on it and everything works now =)

Problem with CyanogenMod

I really need some assistance with some of the settings for CyanogenMod. I just got done flashing the ROM and everything went smoothly, but there seems to be a problem with my data/coverage. The phone is in roaming mode and I can't get the data to work. I have everything configured correctly I think, but I can't get the data connection to work. There is no indication that it is on even though I have it checked. So I can't get on the internet unless it's through WiFi and I can't send/receive picture messages since I have no data.
Would really appreciate some assistance since I really like this ROM but I'm paying for data and it seems I can't use it /:
Thanks for any advice

Sounds like you may not have done a full Wipe/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache and wipe dalvik cache before you flashed. You perform these steps from ClockworkMod recovery before you flash the ROM.
Another thing that could have happened is that you had the USB cable plugged in when you entered ClockworkMod to flash the new ROM. Once you copy the new ROM to your SD card you should unplug the USB cable and then reboot into ClockworkMod.

Anytime bud, just trying to help you The moral of the story was, I read your post and that was the first thing that came to mind and you got all salty, no problem though i understand you're frustrated. I would be to. As blake posted, did you happen to have your USB cable plugged in while you were booting into clockwork to flash your ROM and did you also clear cache, dalvik and data? I'll assume you cleared everything since you probably followed a tutorial verbatim on this site or some other site but the USB thing, while so small, can actually cause so many issues...no hard feelings bro
Also, please see above post for the preferred network type information...

I actually just downloaded the zip on my phone and moved it to the SD card with Astro, is this a problem? So I wasn't ever connected to a computer.
And I'm positive I did the full wipe.
The preferred network type says, WCDMA preferred

Yessir, that's what I've got as well...I'm assuming that you actually had service when you were on a non-cyanogenmod ROM?
1. Where did you download the ROM from? Was it from one of the links in attn1's thread?
- i.e. one of the two links supplied here?
2. If so...If I were you I would, redownload the ROM, move it out of your downloads folder (i.e. from /sdcard/downloads to /sdcard/) and wipe data, cache, dalvik and reflash...
3. Again, if I were you, and #2 didn't fix anything I would go back to a sense ROM and see if the problem is still existant. If it's not then idfk what to tell you LOL...but if it is then its probably hardware related...I would also flash BACK to the CM ROM after going back to the sense...
I know seems like a lot of stuff but if you're dedicated to having CM then you might just have to bear with the bs ;(

n00b flashed CM 6.1.RC2 - bugs/questions!

hi there
ive been reading the last few days, and decided to flash a custom rom. i had wanted to do CM 7 nightlies. but i had trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.x.x.x for some reason, i decided to go with CM 6.1.2 RC 2, so that i didnt have to flash it and could just install Clockwork Recovery 2.xxx via ROM manager.
Ok, so i did the nandroid backup. Wiped. Installed the CM 6.1.2. Then my phone wouldn't turn on... i thought i had bricked it. But i took out my battery, sim card, and SD card and tried again and it turned on. I was super relieved.
Anyway, now on CM 6.1.2, im having a few issues/bugs.
1) how do i restore all my old info? Contacts/apps all that stuff? Im not sure how to bring it all back.
2) My home button doesn't work. I have to keep using the back button if i want to get anywhere.
Thanks to the community for helping me achieve this! Just a few more questions though, thanks !!

Once you sign back into your google account, your contacts should flood back in...apps can be reinstalled via the market (if you flashed the google apps package)
Try rebooting, your home button may work after that
tried to add my old google account and it said 'unable to open connection to server'
?
and i rebooted and that didnt work, for the home screen. i went back and wiped everything again and installed CM 6.1.2 again and the home button still doesnt work.
very aggravating.

just a question. If you wipe and flash Sense back to the phone does the home button work?
im not sure, do i just do a factory reset or something?
or restore from the recovery reboot?
also, market place is not on the phone?

Then it sounds like you did not flash the G/AAPS as well. If you only flashed CM6.1.2RC2 you will not have ANY Google Applications. G/Mail, G/Talk, Maps, market. all those will be missing.
just did the restore -
home button works, everythings just like i left it.
its an RC so im unsure of it being a bug? Not really sure what else it could be.
maybe an earlier build? i dunno

well i have the download, and after i wiped everything i installed the CM 6.1.2 RC2 first. after that was done, i installed the gapps zip file i had.
how else should i have done it?
would there be any downside to just using applanet?

UGH, thats what i tried initially, but i was having trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.xxx to my phone (keep in mind im a super noob)
i saw that link someone posted for people that are having trouble, where you push the flash_image file to your phone.
it said put the flash_image file (and yeah, i unzipped it and used the file not the .zip) in the root of your SD card.
and im not quite sure where that is (i know i know, im learning dont laugh!)

the root means to just drop it on the sd card, not in a folder on the sd card

ON CM6.1.2RC2 /which is an Android 2.2 ROM/ yes it will install pre signing it..... you can either sign in at the beginning to auto download the applications or you can skip it and add it via, Accounts & Sync to skip the auto downloading... Only Gingerbread currently installs G/APPS post signing in.
If they are having a problem connecting to the Wi-Fi you should still get all the applications it will just not allow you to do anything.

much much much thanks to this guy
he walked me through flashing clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 to my phone. i had a few issues with renaming the clockwork recovery file a .img, and where to put files and such, and he helped me through all that.
i was able to do it successfully and then push CM 7 nightly 23 to my phone, and am running it perfect
so its my first day doing this and ive pushed CM 6.1.2 RC2 to my phone, and now CM 7. it was a great day in learning for me.
one problem is, i logged in to my google account, and it says everything is sync'd and im getting emails and such - but my contacts still haven't transfered. no biggy though, i can put them on again.
question - in the future is there a way that i can make a backup of all my apps, and all my data and that stuff, so that if i put another nightly over it, or switch to another build i can keep all that stuff?

Buy Titanium Backup from the market! It's the best $5 you'll spend. You can backup your existing apps with the data. You can also freeze bloatware if there are any on the phone. I doubt you'll need it as CM7 is very very slim already
EDIT: Make sure when you reinstall your contacts, you sync it with google. Next time you do a clean wipe, you can sign in and they will apprear. On the nightlies, you can just flash the new builds over the old ones. I do a clean wipe every 3 builds to keep it clean. You can also backup you ADW or LPP settings so it will be easy for you to restore on a new wipe. Hope this helps!

[Q] update package unavailable

My Bravo constantly gives me a " 'INFO' The update package is not available at this time" message. It is very annoying. I have 2.2 update and phone works great, other than the poor signal now. Also when I go to about phone > system updates, it says an update is currently being downloaded. But it's been like this for a week. Is there a way to clear cache or make this message go away. Sorry noob question but I did try searching this out before I posted.
MotoBravo, If you have not done a factory reset since you did the update that is the place to start.
Hey thanks for response. Stupid question but will the factory reset revert me back to 2.1 ?

No, but it will erase all your personal data/apps on your phone (your sd card will still have its data though).
Backup your contacts and apps first!
Well I'm backed up except for .apks , but they wont let me transfer. I'm in debug so dont know what the problem is . Damn I got old.

What did you use to backup? I recommend buying bandroidx's bootstrap recovery to back everything up, or getting titanium backup for just your apps
Yeah I had Titanium already so went that route. Did the hard reset and all is well. Close this baby .

[Q] Have I bricked it?

I wanted to root my phone and my wife's so that we could use the wifi tether built into the phone. I followed the directions for the OneClick Root and Recovery (worked fantastically, thanks guys!!) And then installed the wifi tether. v3.1beta6 also works great by the way!!
Of course then I did something stupid. When I found that the market didn't work I ran an app called Eris Market Fix that another android site said worked for GalaxyS phones. Now my phone (not dumb enough to test it on the wife's first) will not turn un or boot fully. I get the Samsung Mobile screen and then it goes dark and gives the Force Close single--double vibration and repeats.
Can I fix this or is my phone finished? Once I do, how do I get the market to work on both?

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik cache in clockwork?
Sent from my SPH-D700
also, it's impossible to say for sure at this point, but i highly doubt u did anything permanent to your phone. worst case scenario, u may just end up starting over from scratch...
and maybe try what ^ac suggested before restoring your nandroid backup, sometimes clearing cache and dalvik can help a LOT!!! but it also has to be done from inside clockwork mod recovery.
Bricking is when the phone is literally a brick, no power, no lights, no nothing. I prefer Sponged for this condition. As a last resort if you have no backup (shame) and clearing dalvik and cache don't work, do a Factory Data reset and it will delete any third party apps and data. You will need to set your phone back up but if you have been saving your contacts on Google and not your phone you will get them back when you sign in to gmail.
Right. I have no backup that I'm aware of since I only did the three things listed above. I've seen where it says to use adb for stuff like this, but I do not know where or how to access that. When I plug my phone in to the computer via usb though it says adb found.
I know that clockwork and other were installed but where do I find them?
Edit: So clockwork was found through the vol down, power, camera reboot attempt, so now I know where to make a backup from next time. *embarrassed* Haven't messed with computers like this for years.
dalvik and cache wiped. no change.
Wipe and factory reset (with sd card removed) no change.
Samsung Mobile.com
then black screen and single vibrate
pause and (sorry) triple vibrate
repeat ad nauseum.

Clockwork is your recovery, you access this by 3-finger booting into recovery.
You first turn your phone off wait till its off for sure then you power the phone on by holding the volume down button the camera button, and the power button until the menu shows up.

At this point you will need to Odin your phone back to its original condition. Go into Development sub-forum and at the top in the stickies is a thread called how to fix a semi-bricked Epic. The file links and instructions are in the 1st post. This will wipe everything from your phone and put Android 2.2 back on.

That will also help you return your phone to stock in preparation to get the OTA to Gb.

... So clockwork was found through the vol down, power, camera reboot attempt, so now I know where to make a backup from next time. *embarrassed* Haven't messed with computers like this for years.

Lesson learned the hard way. Good luck with Odin, and remember to always ALWAYS make a backup

I wanted to root my phone and my wife's so that we could use the wifi tether built into the phone. I followed the directions for the OneClick Root and Recovery (worked fantastically, thanks guys!!) And then installed the wifi tether. v3.1beta6 also works great by the way!!
Of course then I did something stupid. When I found that the market didn't work I ran an app called Eris Market Fix that another android site said worked for GalaxyS phones. Now my phone (not dumb enough to test it on the wife's first) will not turn un or boot fully. I get the Samsung Mobile screen and then it goes dark and gives the Force Close single--double vibration and repeats.
Can I fix this or is my phone finished? Once I do, how do I get the market to work on both?

I have been here before as well. I have tried just about all the roms that are out there. If you want great performance and great battery life this rom is the best I have used yet. This is based off of 2.2 android. Everything works minus the sprint bloatware. Here is a link http://randomking.romgeeks.com/development/randomrom-2-2/

Follow his instructions. If you have a problem let me know. Good luck
Thanks again! I'm back up and running. Still need to figure out how to make the market work for paid apps after I root again, but I do intend to remove the bloat ware and speed things up.
Happy I still have my phone though
Many, many thanks everyone!

Excellent! Your paid apps should show up under my apps to redownload after a day or two after you sync your gmail account.

4G GPS Reboot

When I enable 4G and GPS right after each other using the status bar pulldown quick menu, it will go back to home screen then reboot the phone.
I have wiped the Cache and Data 3 times and reinstalled. Still happening. Now getting FC on different apps (Pandora, Papa Johns Pizza, etc). Must reboot to get to get them to work again. Also, WiFi will not stay connected so Pandora will pause as the phone switches between 3G and WiFi. That really sucks as my wife complains and makes me listen to her crap then..
Love the ROM and would post this in Dev but I am able to fix most things on my own after searching all the forums for answers. Having said that, I am under the 10 post Chinese finger cuff lockout... so I cant. Please help me Mazda, you my only hope. Unless someone else can help me fix it ...
Running:
[ROM] [AOSP] Triple S v6.6 (Updated November 17th, 2012)
Holo launcher (no others installed)
RA-supersonic v2.3
atyoung's Mason Kernel v0.1.5 w\SBC
Thanks..

Absolutely classic..lol. Did you try this for the wifi fix..
" Go into System Settings > WiFi > hit Menu > Advanced and make sure the 'Keep WiFi on during sleep' is set to 'Always'." as suggested by Joshmccullough in the thread.
That might not be your issue but try it..far as the force closes mbq recommended another user to go to recovery wipe wipe wipe and then fix permissions.
Hopefully that takes care of ya..if not at least I bumped the thread. Maybe one of the mad scientists will see it and offer further insight.
I know you said you wiped an formatted 3 times an its still happening.
But with all the extra problems it sounds like a bad install. Maybe try download to PC then transfer over?
The apps you have installed, did you reinstall them with an app like titanium? If so, did you restore data as well? Most times that will also break an install going from different ROMs.

But with all the extra problems it sounds like a bad install. Maybe try download to PC then transfer over? - I always download on PC and transfer over.
The apps you have installed, did you reinstall them with an app like titanium? - I installed from Play Store not Titanium as I thought that would be the issue as well.
I did notice it took a while for 4G to connect as well. A lot of times when I tried to enable it I would receive an error when I had WiFi previously on and vice versa.
I tried moving to CM recovery and had the same issue. :crying:
Any other things I can try? If not, it is time to move back to Motorola D2 ROM.
P.S. nrvlljr, Thanks for the WiMax fix, I will try it on the next ROM.
Download the Rom over WiFi, or Hardline. Then do a fresh install as described in the link below. It sounds like you had a bad flash, a bad download, or or both.

I flashed the GTR ROM and am ready to change again as its camera apk is wacked. I just saw the update to this ROM from MBQ so I have downloaded it on PC over WiFi and have wiped and partitioned the sdcard 1028 0 swap ext4 using minitool. I am copying the ROM to the sdcard via a reader and not usb cable.
I will install it and let it set for 20 minutes. I will post my result here.Thank you all for helping!!!!
Your welcome. Keep us posted.

Well.. it seems the ROM install killed my wimax RSA keys and also hosed the wifi. I dont have a nandroid backup as the HDD died a few weeks ago. from what I have read, I need a donor wimax.img and need to edit it or just throw the EVO in the trash.. Crapzilla..
Thanks for all your help on the issue. Anyone got a wimax.img to edit?
Wholly crap.. I found one on a zip drive from 12/7/2011!!! Fook that is old.. Restore in 20 minutes!!!!
So your all sorted ?
Nope. It was a CM backup and did not have wimax. How do I know? When I went to restore it, it said that this will not restore wimax. I have untied and will be heading to the Sprint store this afternoon to see if I can exchange. If not, I will take the phone back and root again with a jellybean rom and wait until Samsung Galaxy IV comes out in March.

Well it turns out that I deleted that backup...lol
But wouldn't it work the same if you pulled a wimax.img from an RUU and hex editted that?
