Earlier today I flashed Fresh 1.1 onto my phone.. I was having some issues with the Calendar syncing up so I unchecked the sync under Settings-Data Sync-Google and backed out of it. (this is where the problems began) I also went to Applications-Manage applications and cleared the cache/data out of the calendar, gmail and google apps. I have removed all of the sprint apps except nfl network (some before, some after Flashing 1.1)
Whenever I go back to Settings-Data Sync-Google or try to open up the market, gmail, calendar or any of the google services, it askes me to "set up my google account".. I click next and it goes to "setting up your Hero200" so I click sign in and type in my login info and I get the message: Can't establish a reliable data connection to the
server.This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card
may not be provisioned for data services. If continues,
call Customer Care. I do have a data connection because I browse on Dolphin, everything else works fin
I've rebooted, but not restored an earlier backup.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...
are you on 3G or wifi?
WiFi, but I've tried it on 3g and it doesn't seem to make difference...
I read somewhere that someone manually set the APN for Sprint, does that make any sense to anyone?
I found this on another forum, can anyone confirm that this might help, or at least won't screw my phone up seriously if I try it:
"Is simple, but you need to be root and know how to play with the device: just delete the folder
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings and restart (before and after) and you can
use the wizard again."

i'm not sure, but go to settings>about phone>system updates and try updating the Profile and the PRL. since you're rooted don't mess with the firmware or anything though.
Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup yet?
I updated the Profile and PRL and still no change. I haven't restored my backup, yet...
I'm seriously thinking about following the advise in the link above and deleting: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings and see if that helps.. If I do this and it still doesn't work, I can do my restore and try that and if all else fails, start all over.. Right?
Before I delete this file, I want to back it up on my SD Card, I just push it to the SD card, correct? The problem is, that I have no idea what's in that file, that's why I'm hesitant to do this.. If it does screw something up, a backup should restore this, correct?
Thanks!
Been there, done that, couldn't fix it. I'm convinced that doing the "clear data" for those apps is not a good idea.
I ended up restoring the Nandroid I took right before I cleared that info, then instead went online and changed my Gmail password. That forced me to run through the Google Account Setup wizard again, which actually worked fine.
Yeah, when I cleared that data it wiped all my contacts and everything... I changed my google password and I'm going to restore a backup and see what happens.... At least I should have my contacts back....
Ok, that worked (for now anyways!!) Thanks johnnythan!! I restored a Nandroid and it prompted me for my google password right away...
I'm still getting the calendar force close whenever it tries to sync (problem I was originally trying to fix) but I'll live with that for now... It seems to sync, but takes a couple tries after force closing...
Thanks, much better than starting over from a full reboot!!
have you tried flashing the unofficial modaco rom version 1.3a? If you flash it, and follow the instructions to clear the dalvik and boot cache it may take care of your problems.
I think I tried that in the Fresh1.1 PreKitchen and I don't believe it helped.. I'll defiantly keep that in mind if I have this issue again.. Thanks!
I've finally decided to make the dive and root my N1, and I am fully aware that it is going to wipe my device. But I've had it since launch and installed a good amount of apps and games and was wondering if there was a way to backup my apps and/or be able to restore them after the root process. I'm mostly concerned with certain games that I've been playing on it and having to start over once it gets wiped. Is there any way to go about doing that?

When I rooted mines this morning, it turns out apps are backed up then reinstalled after inputting your account info.
But just incase...download Astro File Manager, backup apps onto the SD Card, then if the apps don't reinstall like it did on mines, go download the Astro, then reinstall your apps. Just that simple.
Sorry for my noobish ways, but i just purchased my first Android device (Nexus One ) so i really know nothing.
When i wipe my phone, what gets deleted? will my contacts, songs and photos get deleted or only apps?
Contacts are synced wit your Google account. (If you allowed it)
that will be downloaded after you logon after wiping it.
Apps and settings can be synced with your Google account also.
I've lost the text messages and call log after wiping the phone. Apps were redownloaded and reinstalled
you can use wavesecure to backup your sms's and call logs. for free, If you signed up fo to their android beta in time. not sure what their current account offerings are. works well.
Hi guys,
Done a hard reset on my phone.
Only thing i have done is sign into google play.
Its quite strange because its installed loads of my old apps and downloaded skype and signed in to it automatically how can it do this?
Also how can i find a log file of apps installed from google play and what time they were installed?
Thanks
Tell it not to restore your Google backup when you first boot
I think thats probably the mistake i made.
Would that explain the fact it auto downloaded skype and auto signed me in without entering any of my credentials?
Yep most likely, it restores passwords, accounts, apps etc
Thanks for explaining
:good:
the problem is the following, I want to delete all the apps from the phone, I will reset the settings and reestablish it, when I start andorid, fill all the data it asks me, at the end I have the same applications again, I have deleted everything from the menu recovery, and I have done the same but they are not still using the same apps, I have even deleted everything from recovery and created a new gmail account (just in case there was a backup in drive), but it still does not work. So my question is this: Where are the applications restored from, if I have a different gmail account and have deleted everything from recovery ', HELP.

So normally when you factory reset the phone and then go through setup again, it should ask you to restore from backup or setup your phone as new. When you setup your phone as "new", it shouldn't install your apps again but it will install all default Google apps as usual.
Hello, I have been looking for a way to root my device without flashing (deleting data on my phone) because I have a lot of data that can not be retrieved through a backup such as chat data that is saved on an app's server or only gives you access to back it up within the app. I cannot open my apps right now due to a malicious APK. My apps constantly crash until I reinstall them from the app store, but upon reinstalling them I lose all my data since I deleted the app without backing up first, I still have all the apps that I want to back up, but as stated they cannot be opened. The Google Play store, Samsung, and app developers cannot do anything to help, I've already been in contact with them numerous times. I want to root my phone so that I can create a Google Drive backup of the information in the apps or be able to copy the data to paste it over a newly reinstalled app. I know something like this exists for KIK.
I have heard that towelroot and framaroot don't delete data on my device when used to root, but I wanted to come here to know for sure. So if anyone can point me in the right direction or even walk me through it I would seriously appreciate it because this has frustrated me for a month now and I want to root it so bad.
Here's my device info;
-Model: S8 SM-G950U
-One ui version: 1.0
-Android 9.0
-Baseband version: G950USQU8DUA2
-Android security patch level: December 1, 2020
-Carrier: Sprint
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Apps like this often install adware on your phone afterwards, so make sure to reflash ROM afterwards.
You don`t need root to copy non-system-related files. So make a backup of folder of your apps and after you will reflash ROM, install these apps and swap data.
Also, I don`t know any app that wouldn`t restore your messages after you reinstall it. Can you name me your messenger so I can try it myself to be sure?
Another option is to install antivirus.

I created a backup with Smart Switch, but I am not that confident in that backup. From what I've seen it backs up most of the data, but I don't know how chat data from messaging apps are handled with backups. Is there a more precise backup that copies over all data exactly as it was on my phone in this current state with all accounts logged into as I am now?
The apps I am concerned for their data are LINE, HelloTalk, KIK, and songs I saved with Shazam since I never linked an account to it. WhatsApp used to be on this list, but a friend told me that WhatsApp locally saves its data to the device's storage so I was able to backup the data just by reinstalling WhatsApp and restoring from internal storage.
It was directly stated that LINE data would not be backed up through Samsung Switch. If you could make an account on these apps, send some messages, and do a backup and restore to see if the messages transfer I would be grateful. I also have no idea if Shazam songs that were found without an account can be transferred as well.
I am sorry, I don't have a Samsung device. What you can do is go to your file manager and copy all folders you see to external storage. Then, after reflashing ROM, get data of wanted messaging apps back by pasting it to internal storage.
What about antivirus?
