hi there ,
I just thought about it and if someone steals my phone , although if I use lock screen he won't be able (probably) to gain access to my contacts and SMS and use my phone as is , but he'll be able to just access the cwm and wipe the phone and then just use it regularly.
my question is: is there an option to code protect the cwm?
Thank you
hello,
my wife has an open lt15i, not branded and rooted with the latest official firmware. since about 2 weeks she is not able to call 2 numbers. unfortunately these numbers are quite important - they are from our 2 children. when she tries to call these 2 numbers she only hears a short snap or signal noise and that´s it.
as i have no clue where this comes from and ics is still a few weeks ahead i want to go back to the last firmware (.42). unfortunately i didn´t found if i loose everything when i use the flashtool to flash the last firmware.
so is it possible to flash .42 over .62 and keep all settings (contacts, call logs, sms, apps, settings, etc?)?
sorry if this is already asked and answered somewhere here, i read a lot - but didn´t found it.
thank´s a lot for your help!

Sounds like you git the two numbers blockd on the phone
Try factory-reset, you will loose all data (settings etc. and not contacts)

Hi,
Yes, you can flash .42 baseband using flashtools
Just remember to make a backup before that.
BTW, as "TheHaso" mentioned, try factory reset first.
she didn´t allowed me to do it this weekend. she uses this phone also for her shop so i really understand her...
what i did so far is to ckeck if there are any numbers blocked on the phone - nothing that i could find. then i installed mybackup because this is the only one i found that does not need a rooted phone and did a complete backup to the local sd. so at least i have a backup of the data now.
i´ll try the factory reset hopefully tomorrow evening if i am allowed. supid question, but if that does not change anything, is the backup with mybackup enough to restore the phone to the exact state as it is now?
and about the downgrade to .42 - i read in the ics thread that you can selectively choose what to flash. if i remove data - will this work? or do i need to restore the mybackup after the downgrade?
sorry for all these questions, but i don´t want to play russian roulette with my wifes phone data...
thank´s a lot for your help!

1. I havent tried mybackup, but I think in trial mode, you might have some problems restoring your data in ICS! but should work on the same firmware.
2. As far as I'm concerned, selective installation was devised in order to make the released ICS work with flashtools and now it can be done with new flashtools v7 just in one step.
I reckon It won't be a good idea not to wipe user data while flashing ICS.
i had now time to play with the phone. and it is still working!
i was short before doing a factory reset, but then i had the idea to put the sim in another phone - surprise - i am still not able to call these 2 numbers! so it must be something provider related. will call them tomorrow...
then i did a downgrade with flashtool to .42 and i unchecked user data. the downgrade worked fine, everything is still there. and now i have a rooted arc!
thank´s a lot for your help!

we decided to change provider - now everything is working again. my wife can call all numbers!
i decided to upgrade the rooted phone again to the latest firmware, but i think i don´t did it right...
actually i wanted to do it on the phone, but the updater just said that there was an error and i should try it again. then i decided to do the upgrade via pc companion. it worked, but now i have a unrooted phone...
first question: what was my failure?
second question: when in a few weeks the official ics will be released - can i root my phone after the upgrade? or is this not possible with ics? basically i want to stay with the original firmware and just remove the bloatware.
thank´s a lot for your help!

I have accidentally lost some of my important videos while unhiding it from hide it pro software.
My phone is not rooted and brand new.
I have also tried some recovery softwares but they did not work.
Please suggest me what to do.?
Please help me.
Hi,
I know, somewhere here i suppose to find my answers... sorry for repeating.
During updating new firmware using LG Suite software, my phone stacked on Download mode.
I cannot do Hard reset at all.
How to get access to phone memory to release more space in the memory ? To erase private files.
I don't want to loose my warranty so I won't do flashing my phone.
I am still trying do Restore upgrade errors but after 20-30-% the phone is stacking again.
Any ideas please ?
Thank you,
Hello people, I'm kinda new to this big domain.
What I did: I installed latesc CM 13 version, rooted my phone.
What hapenned: My Kernel 3 doesn't recognyze my device anymore and I made the whole phone back-up on him.
I really need to make him detect my phone again! (my phone it's an GT-I505, international version).
If someone could help me I'd be fully grateful!!!
EDIT: Oh, and if there's any way to back-up the phone wihout Kies 3, only using saved files (considering you guys know where program saves it) and adding them in my phone, would be amazing too !! I really need my phone contacts and apps back haha, waiting !!
don't use Kies (Kies 3 isn't for your phone as far as I understand it) you have a custom rom, so use the custom recovery you flashed it with to back it up. although is there any point backing up a rom that's not working correctly ?
I'd say it's better to find a new rom and clean flash it via recovery
