Okay so I ,about a month ago, lost my WiMax RSA keys by trying to flash a test ROM.
After many trials, and errors and many people helping me I Finally found a way to get mine back.
It is actually a very simple method. I was originally not going to share this method because it does not seem many people have lost their RSA keys until today I realized I was wrong.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First off what you will need!
-YOU NEED AN OLD CWM BACKUP FROM WHEN YOU HAD WIMAX KEYS
-You need TWRP recovery flashed
and you will need a TWRP backup with Wimax AFTER it was broke.
-You need to download Notepad++
-Now for a litttle info
CWM DOES backup the wimax keys. (commonly mistaken)
TWRP and CWM use the SAME kind of backups and code. except twrp just saves them in win format.
Although CWM backs your keys up they provide NO way to restore them (although twrp does)
So what do we need to do?
-Convert CWM backup along with md5 for TWRP.
PRIOR TO THIS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP WITH TWRP AND MAKE SURE YOU SELECT TO BACKUP WIMAX (i know it seems pointless to make a bad wimax backup...just do it...if you ONLY want to backup wimax and nothing else thats fine.
Estimated Completion time? About 10 min
Difficulty: If you can read,type,and click a mouse button your fine.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
First. put BOTH Backups in seperate folders on your desktop.
Now download Notepad++
Now in the CWM backup folder you will see a Md5 file....open that up in notepad++.....You will see it has about 4 rows of md5 checks and a name by each one.
Find the "WiMax" labeled on and copy that string of characters.
Now in your TWRP folder with the backup you made open up (in notepad++) "wimax.eemc.win.md5" and delete the string of character (not the label!) and replace it with the ones you copied.
Now go back to your cwm backup and rename your backup to exactly what it says in your twrp folder for wimax and just change the extension to ".win" (my twrp wimax was called "wimax.emmc.win" but it might be different for you) now with the renamed file (with new extension" delete the one we made with twrp (only the win file NOT the md5) and copy the .win we just made from cwm and copy it to twrp backup folder.
Now in twrp restore your backup but ONLY have it restore wimax.
Glad you finally restored your wimax bro!

wait.. how do you lose your wimax keys got me a bit lost on this one never head of this before
I know one way some people loose them is to flash a zip that isn't intended for our phone and didn't look at the updater-script to see that it wipes different partittions ment for another phone, which happen to be the partition the wimax keys are on. A.k.a the superwipe.zip that is floating around the web.
There is also other ways to loose the keys, sometimes recoveries don't play nice and will delete them. That is why many guides say the first thing to do after rooting is to backup everything including your wimax keys. I do believe the shiftrr.exe even has the option to back them up.

Yup I lost my wimax keys flashing a test 3.5 ROM for newtoroot (way before the one he released) guess the updater script wiped it.
My biggest complaint is that even though cwm backs wimax keys up. It provides no way to restore it. I just never understood lol

You know the other day I was messing with WiMax on my laptop and I connected to Sprint and I thought about you and if I could export my Shift's WiMax key and get it on my laptop some how.

I doubt it. Each key are specific to a device. I remember people doing some crazy **** like buying a used evo to replace the chip and THEN transfer the WiMax keys, or something like that. But that's before I wrote this or they made absolutely no backup anywhere.

Most Functions are working for me including back up and restore.
No need to rewrite update-script .All flashable working in CWM recovery will also work here.
But backups made by CWM Recovery will not work.This is a complete replacement of Clockworkmod.This has separate backup folders and methods.So you have to do your backups again.

More interested in what is not implemented in other, already existing at the time, recoverys.
These are:
- Ability to install APK's, IMG's, ZIP's, TAR's, TGZ's from the same menu
- Battery charging
- Ability to root any ROM
- battery status (charging status, temperature ) display
- Hold volume keys to scroll
These features really work?

As I said most basic functions and normal backup/restore work...Recovery specific functions...
-Yes you can not only install apk but also choose install location as system app or normal app.Zips Work.All others also should work.
-Battery charging status shown.
-You can set scroll delay in Options>>Set scroll delay to customize "Hold volume keys to scroll"
-Rooting I cannot test because I am already rooted.
Not Working:-
-Changing nand backup location-So do not change it to external sd-we backup on sdcard only anyways
-Battery temperature and voltage-Will fix it later
awesome dude!
will test it now =)
Thanks

Hey yall,
I recently purchased what I consider to be one of the best phones one the market (Epic 4g) for the second time and this one I bought off of Swappa.com for $100. The phone is in great condition, with ICS which my last Epic didnt have, and it also has cyanogen 9 mod which my old phone didnt have either. I have never modified a phone or rooted them or anything like that. But I like the cyanogen mod so I dont mind it. The phone also has the latest clockwork recovery.
But the phone cannot activate with Sprint because the rep says the numbers have been wiped from the phone. I read somewhere that I may need a certain kernel that mimics the codes or replaces the codes or something?
Can anyone point me to a stable, reliable source for a kernel that will let me activate the phone and keep cyanogen 9 mod?
Sorry if this is just a total f**#$# noob question that makes you want to pull your hair out but I honestly dont know anything about the latest software or anything like that. However I am very resourceful and I got this far, I think I can install a kernel if someone could just point me in the direction of a good file to download.
Thanks in advance!

can you tell me where to find the "temporary gb rom"? Also looks like I need the EL29 EMMC utility, can you tell me where that is as well?
And how to get mobile ODIN on my phone? Do I need mobile ODIN or can I use regular ODIN? In the video he said you could use either one...
Sorry again for the noob questions. This is overwhelming.

We don't have mobile odin. You will need to odin stock and the cwm recovery and nubernel so you can keep the recovery because samsung has it so stock recovery returns after a reboot, and nubecoder fixed that so you'll need his kernel. Then you can reflash cm9. Once the cm team or me include nexus s 4g ril and modem in a build, then we can make updating prl and profile and activating possible. With ours it is impossible.

There is no link inthe OP, there is a link in a quoted reply and while I got that link to work at home and began the download,I cannot begin the download here on my work computer. Is there an updated link anywhere for the stock el30 multiboot for samsung epic? Any clue why the download worked at home but not on my work PC? It might be a firewall or something so I am going to go home and put the file on my thumb drive.

If he already has CM9 then he already has custom recovery (and root, etc) All he needs is the multiboot flashable to temporarily boot into the stock rom. The latest version is FC09 - I'll see if I can link to that thread, but it is in the development section (Epic 4G development)
EDIT: Here is the multiboot thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...te PRL and Calibrate Sensors for CM9 and AOKP
The OP of that thread contains a link to the correct page on the Epic CM team blog, in which you find full instructions, a link and the md5sum (definitely verify the md5 before continuing)
You will need your computer to extract the archive (most android apps for archive files seem to struggle with this one, and while I swear I did it successfully once, I have been unable to duplicate that result or find the app that worked), and it's generally easier to download on the PC as well to avoid a few quirks.

That link is the one in the previous post I mentioned. I got the link to download at my house, my work had it firewalled.
Ok so I got the file, now how do I install it or run it? Just put it on the SD card and then boot in recovery and flash it to everything? Do I need to unzip the files before putting them on the SD card or anything?

Yeah, I just noticed that TazFanatic had already posted it without a description - but the same link from two people is better than no links from anyone, I suppose
That archive needs to be extracted to your sdcard in a very specific directy structure. Check the instruction in the blog where you downloaded the multiboot, but I believe you should be able to extract to the root of the sdcard (with a computer, not your phone - I can't stress that enough) with the option checked to recreate the folder structure.
Once extracted, the actual flashable zip is found in the FC09 folder, which is in the multiboot folder (and may still be EL30, although I have an updated version which I was sure came from that page). Flashing that zip from custom recovery will not actually install anything, but it will reboot the phone after setting it up to boot the rom on the sdcard instead of reading the internal storage where your rom (CM9) is installed.
But as I said, that page should cover all of the details, so be sure to read it thoroughly and you shouldn't have any problems (or additional questions on the subject) from this point forward

Go to the settings screen (menu capacitive key, then "settings" on the touch screen - just in case, I don't know how familiar you are with android or the Epic so I'm just covering the bases, lol)
From there, look for the "storage" sub menu, where you'll be able to see if the phone is detecting the sd card (if you have the card in and it does NOT give you the option to mount or unmount the sd card, then it thinks no card is present)
If the phone is also not detecting the sdcard, then it sounds like the card was corrupted - you may have to reformat it, which will erase everything on it. If it is detected, then maybe rebooting your computer will clear out whatever is preventing it from detecting the card when you put it in the computer... but it sounds like you'll most likely find that the phone isn't even detecting it - try rebooting the phone and checking it again under storage, before you start worrying about reformatting the card...
Also, for everyone else following along - this is why you should not sell a phone with a custom rom on it. Too many problems, better to give the new owner a link to xda and let them decide if they want to take the leap

I thought you said the computer wouldn't read the sd card even if you took it out of the phone and put it into the computer? Hopefully I misunderstood - your wording above seem to suggest a successful usb mount...

Your first question is quite broad, so I highly recommend reading the EpicCM blog site and the official site, cyanogenmod.com, because there are so many features that we will likely forget a few (unless we read the web pages for you, but then you have to trust our summaries... anyone remember the telephone game from childhood? Best to go straight to the source, lol)
That doesn't mean we won't try, of course... but I can't decide on a favorite feature, lol. The theme engine is a well-known feature that is almost a CM exclusive (it originally came from T-Mobile phones). I'm currently on the CM7 side of my usual cycle of roms, so I have to work from memory until I decide to switch back (I stay with 7 most of the time because I can't afford a decent replacement battery, lol)
As for homescreen shortcuts, both apps and widgets can be found in the app drawer - long-press and drag to drop them on the homescreen. There may be a direct dial widget (I haven't messed with direct dial shortcuts since long before CM9, so no guarantees on this part) - dropping it on the homescreen should open a dialogue where you can choose the contact to shortcut to. I know that other widgets that have variables that lack logical default values, like the direct navigation widget, work that way... I'm just not 100% sure if there is a direct-dial, or just a shortcut to the contact info

Ok that works for apps, what about putting specific individual contacts as shortcuts on the homescreen(s)? Can't figure that one out... need to get my wifey on there... thanks in advance y'all.

Hello guys,
I try level best to find the solutions to the problems on my own, but at times like this i have no way other than to bother you.
Here's the problem:
Cannot see the sd-ext partition in the CWM recovery.
Do not get the backup of my sd-ext partition after making backup of the device.
'Restore sd-ext' IS available in 'Advanced Restore' options, but when to use since there's no backup being made.
and so every other problem which may arrive due to this.
Details:
Rom: Jellyblast3.0.4
Kernel: RepencisV7 Final
CWM tried: cwm-madteam-galaxY.zip, CWM_bla_bla.zip, CWMv5-Skin1980-GT-S5360.zip
Everything is in native rfs format
sd-ext is formatted with ext2
Using A2sd by Darktremor
sd-ext IS mounted and working fine(screenshots)
No additional tweaks by me.
Only ten scripts in init.d(attached)
CWM Error Report: ...backing up cache..sd-ext not found..
skipping backup of sd-ext. Creating md5 sum..backup complete. (log attached)
Please let me know..
if any other data/detail is required.
I don't know what's the cause of this problem, though i feel like it might be something related to the kernel.
And also since its Repencis kernel i don't have any clear idea about whom to approach!
And thus made an individual thread for this peculiar problem.
Hopefully, looking forward to find a solution to this problem.

Thankyou sir for your kind interest, but i have used that CWM also.
And talking about kernel sir, i would first prefer to solve this problem then think of opting to 'alternative' solutions.
Because i prefer full a2sd support, i settled with this kernel after testing many.
The only kernel that supports backup of ext is whitesxp kernel
Flash this kernel and the perm cwm included with it will support backup of ext partition although creating a nandriod backup is much slower than with other kernels

I once also tried Merruk kernel and it also used to make the backup of sd-ext when making backup of the device.
In fact. . .its a common thing.
Whenever backups are being made, if sd-ext is present then its backup is automatically made by CWM.
The problem is, in my case its not happening like that.
And about WhiteXP's kernel..
do it support a2sd?
I did try this kernel too. . .but didn't use it for long..since appeared as if it was draining my battery fast.

The only kernel that supports backup of ext is whitesxp kernel
Flash this kernel and the perm cwm included with it will support backup of ext partition although creating a nandriod backup is much slower than with other kernels

You sure? I swear I remember using the CWM with whitexp's kernel 1.3.3 and I lost my sd-ext data upon backing up and then restoring.

Use whitexp's kernel and your ext partition should be ext3 . I noticed that Ext3 format is the only format which supported backing up and restoring sd-ext partition successfully. That's my experience . You may like to try.
try this bro maybe it will u...

Thank you sir rkmiks,
that is indeed one good information. Currently I'm with ext2 formatted sd partition.
I will try re -formatting and report back.

ThankYou blackpanther2209 :good:, the CWM you provided solved my problem
It detected sd-ext..:good:
manually mounted it..:good:
made the backup of sd-ext..:good:
checked it in sd card..:good:
Restored it..:good:
All good and working :highfive:
But how is it working, when other CWM of the same version (i.e 5.0.2.6) are unable to detect my ext2 partition?
ThankYou all for your support
ThankYou all..:angel:

Try using another memory card. Some memory cards act like that

Well, I don't think that's needed now. I already found a working version of CWM which solved MY problem.
(though I still don't know why other CWMs didn't detect my other partition :banghead: )

HI I'm having the same problem. Can you repost the version that found your sd-ext to see if it solves mine.
The link isn't working above
I have it recognised on a previous rom but now it won't restore the backups to it.
thank
edit....
Clicked on the correct link and it worked for me.
The cwm there was incompatible with my ace-i

help me too please
i have been to every single stinkin forum about this topic, and it seem that you guys know what you are talking about- my phone- galaxy s gt-i9000 or something like that- long story short- battery died. nothing else happened, and now it will not boot back up. I figured out how to get to the dark core recovery- yet wiping, restoring, mounting, unmounting, formatting, etc- i get the same message- ERROR. I downloaded something named "kies" thinking that would help (looking at a different forum) and it doesnt even recognize that the phone is connected via USB. I just bought this stupid phone from a "friend" 3 months ago, and i really cant afford to get another one. I, in the mean time, am stuck using my daughters old phone that looks like a spider decided to hide behind the screen and make a home for itself. Please HELP!!!!
ps- i am not as smart as i may have sounded above, so please be gentle and use terms, (actually links to take me to some site that will just do it all for me I prefer LOL) that a really cute hot 20 something blonde could understand smootches!!! and PS- i used to be blonde, not anymore, no offense to all others out there.:silly:

This is a forum for galaxy y
but if your phone doesn't boot
Find the stock rom for your phone
Connect your phone to pc
Enter download mode (on galaxy y it's hold volume down home button & power button)
start odin on pc - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
Place the stock rom tar files in correct place and flash
What's this?
As the title mentioned above, It disables your mobile data right after flashing a rom through recovery so that your money won't be deducted after boot
Personal Information
For me, I use it because I use a prepaid card and every time the mobile data is enabled after boot. It deducts some amount of money from my prepaid causing me to lose money every time I flash a new rom.
What is modified?
apns_conf.xml which can be found in system/ etc
How to flash?
1. Flash any custom rom that you would like to use through recovery
2. When it's done, go to mounts & storage and mount /system
3. Flash MobileDataOff.zip from attachments below
3. Reboot system and enjoy a safer way to flash roms
If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to comment below and make sure to hit thanka if this works for you. :good:
And your really think only the empty file is the solution?
<apns version="6">
</apns>
Just look into this thread. In the script the original conf is restored after the initial copy of the empty file.
And there is a hint that pressing the end call button might help instead (didn't try because I do not need it).
Be fast while setting up your phone and disable the mobile network before it even establish a connection

Been there done that. Sometimes some roms have setup wizards which takes quite a while to load. And sometimes for what reason my prepaid decreases from a 2 to a 1 digit number. That's why I decided to do this mod.

yup the reason I made this into a flashable zip is because some people [like me] don't know how to run scripts or adb.
Okay going to update this to include credits and a restore file so that it does the same function as the script

Does this work?
How about removing the sim before flashing...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
well, nice.
i usually insert a spare sim with zero balance (i knw we all hv spare sim cards). this way i setup everything reatore titanium backup, contacts etc. n finally i change my sim to the one which i normally use..
ummm hmmmm??
and NO.. few ROMs out there want sim to be insrted so this might do the trick to fool Newly flashed ROM..
