l need help....
l write a number on my defy with motoblur ....
l install cyano...now l need that numeber but there isent in my contats list.
How can l fint that number?
if l downgrade to motoblur can l find that number???.
Questions go in the Q&A section
You should have taken backup to sdcard or Google contacts sync. I'm afraid that you wouldn't get that number back after downgrade. Do you have the nandroid backup of blur ROM after you entered the number and before installing cm7, if so then restore your ROM and can retrieve your number.

will someone tell me how to get my contacts to load and google apps on the cyanogenmod update
I've downloaded the update tool thingy from SE, and it says I can update, but it will erase my data from my phone..
Is it really nessesery to update it? Important stuff in the update?
I've tried to find some kind of Changelog on the latest version, with no success
.
If so, what's the best free backup app?
Also, I rooted my phone, can it give me just a false alarm on the update because of it?
Model E15a
Firmware 2.1-update1
Build 2.1.1.A.0.6
You don't have to update but I suggest you do.
From the search I've made this is what updating to 2.1 gives you:
- ANT+ support
- Changes in the UI
- New unlock screen
- Additional homescreens (you can now have 5)
- Improved Bluetooth functionality
- New Backup and restore application with extended content backup
- Social phonebook, (syncs contact pictures from Facebook)
- Improved messaging app
- Improved weather app
- Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1.
- Multiple Gmail account handling
- You can now use Live Wallpapers
- Voice controls
- Better battery life
- More options in Settings
- New widgets
- Access to more apps in the Market
Cheers!
BTW, no, SE will not know if you've rooted your phone.
i think you already have the latest software update, so you don't need to. if you want to you do the backup and recovery and restore it after you've finnished the update process. it will restore your data back to your phone. yes, SE will not detect your phone was rooted or not.
didn't think that SE is detecting my rooted phone, just maybe it's a false alarm that says I need to update while I don't really have to.
@rstdnm - I already got the 2.1
(
Firmware 2.1-update1
Build 2.1.1.A.0.6
)
So my Q is what does the *latest* version is giving me that I don't already have, and if it's worth the full backup-recovery, cause I don't want to take my chances on those kind of things, (mainly because I don't know what's the best way to backup-recover)
@xdelapan - So why did the update tool told me there's a upgrade for me?
thanks,
Golan.
Last time i did an update from SEUS was march 4th. And my phone was have the newest software each time i connect it with pc companion until now. I think it will be not any difference if you are update the phone for now. You alreeady have the latest version. The 2.1 update 1 is the latest version from SE.
Ps: latest update was 015 baseband too

As long as you stay with stock SE ROMs you can always backup and recover via the stock backup and recovery app - you can find it in the app drawer, it's working decently. You may use modded version of it if you switch to some 2.2 ROM, but it will most probably not work on 2.3 ROMs.
Now, what would you make an update for? It changes baseband from 06 to 15, and 15 is crucial for custom ROMs app2sd to work. Without it you're stuck with only your internal memory. If you plan to run any custom ROM - update. If not - you might as well skip it, since performance enhancement is slight, if any.
thanks a lot people, now I only need to make sure I'm not too much of a chickensh!t to try ROMming my phone..
Guys, i'm waiting for a fully cm rom for my grand 2 since a very long time. Please tell a bug free cm rom and paste the link and all detailed and necessary processes like i'm using G4 thailand version 4.3 jb. How to flash cm? what is the requiremeents? should i have to upgrade my official rom version to kitkat first before flashing? and most importantly, should i go for cm rom or stay at jelly bean?
Please comment with good details.
thanks.
Luckily one of the stable cm rom is cm12.1 rom and you need to root and install a custom recovery to enable to flash the rom. Just look at the developement thread to clarify this..
earlier my firmware was:-
Model- Grand 2 SM-G7102
Version- Android 4.4.2
Changelist 3250544
Build date- 13/02/2015
Product code- INU
PDA- G7102DDUBOB1
CSC- G7102DDUBOB1
but,
I flashed the rom cm 12.1 provided by mukulsoni. Earlier when i was on official stock rom then my phone's wifi mac address was E4:12:1D:E5:52E. but after flashing the cm 12.1 rom, it changes to 00:0a:f5:01:03:24.
As i'm registered with my original mac address to my university's wifi, i'm not able to access it (because now my phone shows different mac address).
So, i tried a method to change my mac address by editing it in 2 files via ESexplorer. But when i opened the 2 files to change the desired mac address, it shows me my original wifi mac address written there.
This amazed me that there in 2 files, its my original mac address written but in the SETTING, it shows different mac address. SO, what's the catch? What should i do?
So. please tell me how to restore it back my original mac address.?
2nd problem is:-
my DATE and TIME changes to 1 Jan 2014 and differt time on every boot. I ticked time to be changed by network. I watched videos and try to replace my time_daemon file form folder SYSTEM>BIN with another one but that too didnt work.
how do i fix this time issue?????
plz help.
Try to backup your wifi settings and the other settings that you want with Titanium backup & restore them right after you've flash a new ROM. This work for me everytime I flash new ROM.

Hello , I am a Noob ,
I have a few questions ,
My Device
Xperia Neo V
MT11i
Android Version:
2.3.4
Build:
4.0.2.A.0.62
Kernel:
2.6.32.9.-perf ....... [did not write the entire thing]
I never updated it ,
Now , I want
1.Make a Complete Recoverable Backup of my Current OS (2.3.4)
backup my original firmware , and stock OS . So that if in future i want to go back to it , i can just use that to go back . (i hope i am able to make you guys understand)
As far as my knowledge goes , i should need TWRP Recovery , or CWM Recovery or something similar . Correct me if i am wrong .
2.Unlock the Boot-loader and Root it.
3.Install Last Officially available update , Manually and Try it out
Which is the last officially updated version available ?
4.If i Like it then OK , if not then
i will Install other Custom ROMs or CM13
Q1. i heard that Many Custom ROMs dont have FM and Camera Functions ?
Which Custom ROM has all the functionality as the Stock One ?
and is based on most updated version of android ?
5.KERNEL.
I just CANT understand this one , please help me understand it
Does any of the above need the kernel to be replaced ? by some other kernel ?
I dont have much knowledge of kernel
...................................
Other Questions:
1.Why we are Flashing both .562 kernel .587 kernel one by one ?
Shouldn't we need only one ?
2. Can i update to Latest ICS via PC Companion and then root it ?
Will it affect anything ?
3.

Disadvantages
1. Warranty is void..gone.. ---------- No Problem
2. You cannot update using PCC or SUES( if you try them..then u'll get a message saying that the software is modified and it wont proceed) ---------- No Problem since no update will come in future
3. No more DRM(Digital Rights Management)..things like Trackid, music like..etc - I like TrackID , but TrackID works with any mobile isnt it ? so what will change ? in Track ID ?
And which Custom ROMs require Unlocked Bootloader ?
Does CM Require it ?
Please help how can i do these and please educate me about kernel too .
P.S.
I tried posting this before in the [NEO/V/L Q and A THREAD]HELP THREAD (N00B friendly) Thread but No One Replied
Very Sorry i posted it here

I (still) own three of these phones: one MT11 and two MT15 models. They were good cheap phones. Sony is my favourite. Highly customizable. The dedicated forums are still available I think. The problem is that these phones don't have the ability to run modern applications. All the developers have moved on. If you don't need it as a daily use phone, it would be good to use it as a learning tool for flashing roms and skinning it. It takes a lot of time to read through all the posts. But the info is all there. Maybe someone will answer your questions sooner or later. Good luck with it.
U jst need to unlock ur bootloader and flash a custom kernel with recovey and flash ur desired rom ( there r some good one life miui v5 etc and aosp developement was prety good too at its time)
If u can manage to find the ftf files of orignal stock roms 2.3 & 4.04 u dont need to worry about any backup u can always roll backup to stock.
As far as my opinion go 2.3 is the best rom with good backup and smooth os battery suks on other roms.
Hope that answers ur questions
Currently my main problem is that the PC cant recognize the Mobile (Xperia Neo V)
the drivers that automatially got installed never gets installed without error and i still cant find out the reason , after a few tries now the dialogue box of installing drivers does not appear at all ,and the PC cant recognize my phone ,
Where can i get the best working drivers for Neo V ? (MT11i) ?
If any one of you have it please give a working set of drivers for PC Smartphone connectivity
and another odd thing that i noticed is that
the PC Companion that comes with the phone and gets installed when connected is
Basically as follows
Folders:
Languages - (28 Folders Inside)
Drivers - EMPTY
Graphics (2 Files - Graphics.zip, NewUI.zip)
Files:
Autorun.inf
Startme.exe
Is it same for you guys too ?
Why is the DRIVERS folder Blank ?
I think it should not be blank

There should be a drivers folder in the flashtool folder. Give THIS thread a read too as you're trying to run before you've even learned to walk.
