Open the charms menu and search for restore media. It should guide you though the process of making the media. I think most people put it on a thumb drive instead of DVD (I did).

Has anybody got luck with Street Fighter IV HD ?

Well as the title says and you can imagine, i didn´t have too much luck.
First time i´ve installed the game, when starts i have to wait long hours to download the data, once it was finished, started to play buuuuut.... i just could play A MINUTE before crash.... and the background in the menu and in the game was white
I´ve been able to find the data files (1.23gb) somewhere, put the folder in sd card, and nothing, when start the game automatically goes to the download bar
So i wanted to know, wich was your experience, did you have luck ?? all worked fine ??? and in the case it worked for you, what did you do ??? (could facilitate me the data files ? )
I must say the data files i´ve downloaded could be for smartphones maybe, i know....
Any help would be really appreciated

interesting, why does it happen ???
could you upload the data files contained in the sdcard ??
thank you
i found a version where you install modded apk for your screen resolution, put 1.23gb worth of files on sd card, and restore cache via titanium backup before opening the app but i just get a black screen. I tried chainfire 3d with qualcom drivers but no luck. Bummer, i love sf4, and would have loved to try this version. I guess ill get the legit version in 3 months when it hits the market.

That´s why i´m looking some angel who would be willing to give me the data files

Using phone an external boot device?

Hey so I saw that they made a mod where you can jailbreak a ps3 through flashing the firmware on the phone or something ( I don't know it didn't work in the atrix) but my windows somehow locked my hard drive and I need command prompt to unlock. I was wondering is it possible to somehow put a live Ubuntu disc or a windows ISO( anything that's bootable) on my phone and bring my laprop back to life? I'm not able to burn any CD's right now. So yeah I think it'd be pretty cool if this is/can be possible. Or maybe some kind of webtop through usb that's able to boot off a laptop. I don't know. These are just idea that pop into my head. Not sure iftheyre possible CD

Windows 8 Reset

Oh boy... haha. So my Windows 8 pro disk arrived today and I installed it and everything and told it to keep NOTHING, but it insisted on keeping shizz anyways, so then I decided it'd be a good idea to hit to hit the RESET button in the Control Panel since I had my shiz backed up anyways and WOW... I have some of the BEST PC specs out there and this thing is taking it's sweet ass time. Lol. It's been 12 hours and it's nearly 22%....
So my question to you guys is... Have any of you ever tried this? How long did it take you? What's your PCs specs? Did you wipe all drives? Any coolio info for me on Windows 8 before I switch back to Mint Linux?
Thanks!
Can't wait to see your replies,
John

That's why you boot from the disk and not start the installer in windows.

Installing Windows within Windows
Insert joke here
In all seriousness, Microsoft has had a problem "upgrading" since it started trying.
Took me about 6 hours to upgrade. Chose the option to keep everything.
Clean install from boot took maximum 1 to 1.5 hour to install...
I've had the same issue. I chose to do a full clean on the main partition and after 8 hours, I'm at 54%. Hopefully when I'm off work it will be done but that's not a good sign.
When it's done, I'm going to also be performing another reset but not the full clean. I would truly like to know the real differences between the 2 reset options. Does one delete the partition and format and the other doesn't?

The reset option formats and defrags along with segment checks for errors I believe.

I "Refreshed" Windows 8 once during RTM but before 10/26 and it took forever on my SS7S with SSD and then I had a ton of software glitch problems afterwards. I don't personally believe the "Refresh" works.
Imo, you're better off just backing your stuff up and formating your stuff from the bios / booting from the Windows 8 disk.

sounds a bit dodgy to me, it shouldn't have taken that long at all
oh an just a quick word to all the "updating is bad" folk out there, its been a long time since Windows actually did a proper "update" updates now consist in dumping all your old crap in a separate folder and installing windows to a new folder. Its very clean and no worse then a fresh install, infact I now recommend updating as all the old crap which users inevitably forget to backup is still there for the taking, I updated this system im typing on from Win 7 to 8 in a little over 30 min, start to finish, virtual drived the ISO, and let it fly like poo of a shovel is it some uber fast system?
well its a quad core AMD 905e 4GB of RAM and a good old WD 1TB 7200 HDD, not too shabby but pretty slow by todays standards

It's not CWM's fault! It's your own stupidity! There is no such a thing as accidentally formatting! Your music project is gone for good...

If this project was so important to you why didn't you back it up off of the phone somewhere? Dropbox or the free 50GB Box account most got with the Nexus 4 come to mind. I'm not sure if a full nandroid backup includes the contents of the sdcard on the nexus 4 but that might be a place to start looking, that is if you ever bothered to do a full backup of your phone.
You can get your files back, the same thing happened to me, my pocket somehow formatted my sdcard. Look for software that recovers deleted files

What secret? I said there is software that recovers deleted files. Have you heard of Google? Search for software that recovers deleted files and voila, you'll have your dats back. There are hundreds of programs that can handle your problem.

I don't know if it works for our phones, but I accidentally formatted an external hard drive before and used the Easeus data recovery wizard software. It recovered everything. Worth a shot

XDA also encourages users to search for answers before asking for help. This place is for learning new things and expanding current knowledge. People won't really learn if they're spoon fed what they want to know.

Boy do you have it wrong. XDA is not a place to come and get help. IT is not a support site. This is a developers site. You are EXPECTED to put in the time and effort to fix your own issues first. Then spend some time searching. (and do search outside your own devices forum) Then you try some things you have seen. If that doesnt work then you can post a thread but dont expect a solution.

I haven't tested such software, and I could be wrong, but when you connect (most) newer Android devices to a computer, you get access to the files via MTP. You don't have direct access to the filesystem (which I think is ext4), and because of this, you can't do the "advanced" stuff needed for file recovery (I guess checking sectors, free space, and etc.)
Older (and some newer) Android devices when hooked to a computer let you do USB Mass Storage (essentially the same kind of access you have when you plug a flash drive in), which is giving you direct access to the file system (FAT32), and in-theory, should work fine with file recovery software.
so can we mount the nexus 4 as fat32 or ext4? because on mine it just shows up in device section with no name

what windows program can i use to browse phone files?

I need to extract some files from the phone itself (data for certain apps) but my screen is completely busted and I can only turn the phone on and connect via USB. Any windows program I can use to extract information ? My phone was/is rooted
You must always next time post on question section.
Ok back to topic.Do you mean sd memory files. ?
Then better to connect with pc to take all backuo of phone. This is the better way if your screen is blushed.
If you still have problem then better to contact service guys. Then can help you.

Then you will be able to see all things which you can't see in your broken screen.
