Hello,
I've recently installed Oxygen on my Desire. And it was working flawlessly untill a few days back, when my Data/3G stopped working all together.
I inserted my SIM card into an X10i and 3G was working on that phone. But on my Desire, even though all setting are turned on, nothing seems to be working ?
Any help ? As i have very limited knowledge or rooting and custom ROMs, there might be something that i might be doing wrong ?
Thanks
Did you do a full wipe, data/factory rest, cache and dalvik cache when flashing the rom?
Also have you tried resetting or manual reading the apn settings? And do you use any app to control data connection?

1. Yes I did all of those things specifically, while flashing a new ROM.
2. I have tried resetting the APN settings. The thing is that my phone wont even detect that my Carrier has 3G or even Edge for that matter. Whereas, in the same area when I inserted my SIM into an X10i (or any other phone, just for comparison) it worked flawlessly.
3. No I dont use any app. I did install a widget to switch on/off data from my home screen but since it didnt work i uninstalled it. If I were to guess since when Im having this problem, I'd say somewhere around this widget incident. Its possible it has some connection. But I already uninstalled it.
Thanks for your time.
If it was a third party widget it might have messed it up. Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing to see if you get a connection. Beforehand you can back up your apps with titanium backup so that you can restore them on the fresh install if that fixed the data problem.

It was a third party widget, actually. Since Im new to the process, could you expand on "Make a nandroid and do and full wipe without reflashing", or perhaps, direct me to a place where I can see how its done.
Ill download the titanium back up from the market and back-up the apps. Wouldn't it reload the settings and the apps when I restore the backup, and possible the bug too ? Assuming the widget messed up some sort of setting or somethin ?
First make the nandorid, to do this boot in to recovery and go to backup, from that point on it should be self explanatory. You can also use rom manager and the backup feature. Once the nandroid is done you wipe (still in recovery) data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache under advanced, then hit back and reboot.
I don't think titanium will restore the "bug" because you already removed the app that probably caused it, just make sure you only backup/restore the green apps and data and check the list you restore to be sure that the switch widget isn't included.

Thanks man, it worked. I guess I have to be cautious on a Custom ROM before installing any apps, keeping in mind the compatiblity.
I have the same problem. I get no 3g icons in oxygen rc7 or in cyanogen mod7 build 32.
I have istalled both roms with full wipe of cache and dalvik. Nothing helps.
It is only green when wifi is on. If i turn it off, the netstatus is becoming grey.
It is a HTC Desire
And 3G is working perfect with Leedroid 2.3d
Wifi Issue, try out : "In wifi settings, advanced, set regulatory domain to 14 channels. I suspect what happens is that it cures the problem for those of us with channel = auto on the accesspoint."
3G Issue : Configurate manually your access points depending on your provider, it worked for a friend.
Good Luck!

This is a Noob question, if I wipe data and cache 3 times with CWM and then restore a backup created just before with CWM doesn't it put back all the stuff that I tried to wipe for clean ROM flashing? Or is there garbage in there that does not get backed up and restored?
Thanks.
It will put pretty much everything back. It doesn't backup and restore the kernel, though.
So what is the purpose of wiping 3 times. Does that allow the new ROM kernel to install properly? Then we can restore everything back on top of the new kernel? The main reason I ask is after flashing a new ROM and only wiping once (I know!) about once every other day my txt messages get stuck sending. I have to reboot to send and then the clock starts again until this reoccurs. So is it best to backup with CWM, wipe 3 times, flash, then restore with CWM?
Thanks.
Wiping three times is because there has been a question about whether clockwork 2.5.x wipes certain partitions properly. Apparently it returns back from the function much faster than it should. Some people do seem to have intermittent problems when wiping once. I generally only wipe once between roms, but if anything isn't working right I go back and wipe 3x and reinstall.
Generally, when you wipe something, you aren't going to be restoring it all back. You want to wipe between different roms because certain things may be set up differently in the two and you may get weird glitches and force closes. If you are wiping to get rid of a bug, then you shouldn't restore a buggy backup or you will probably still have the bug.
You can try doing a reinstall of the base rom, wiping first of course. Then you can go restore->advanced restore->restore data to get apps and settings back. See if you still have the problem. If so, then you're going to have to wipe again and reinstall the base rom, but DONT restore your backup. You may be able to carry some apps and settings across with something like Titanium if you absolutely can't start from scratch again.
AH! Now I get it...thank you for that explanation. Tried the 3X wipe today with restore from CWM 2.5.1 so will wait and see if the SMS problem shows up again. Thank you again.
So I got Cm7 running using rom manager, used titanium backup to restore apps + system data, then fixed permissions. For the last 10 minutes it's been stuck in the CM7 screen....
What should I do? Can I pull the battery without harm? Does it take that long to boot after fixing permissions?
Edit: pulled the batter and am trying to boot into recovery...going to wipe the dalvik/cache again.
Edit2: same thing for the last 6 minutes....dang. I guess I'll just nandroid in 5 minutes if it doesn't' get out of it.
Edit3: going to nandroid back. I might try it again later flashing from a Zip instead of using rom manager. I probably won't restore system data either next time. If anyone has any suggestions though please post them.
Edit4: not good...phone is bootlooping cyangen screen after nandroid.
Edit5: Cleared factordata, cache, and when I go to clear dalvik I'm getting
e unknown volume for path sd-ext
Any ideas here?
Edit6: I'm reflashing 6.1.2....okay...got through the boot and now I'm setting up the phone.
You may need to wipe everything now and reinstall fresh. Do a search for Calkulin's tools here and download the format all zip and put it on the root of your sdcard. Flash it just like you would a rom from recovery. It will wipe boot, data, cache and system. Then try flashing cm7 from recovery. Usually boot loops happen because of there not being enough space on one of your partitions like system or boot etc.

Will do....I know I had been installing apps to the SD card using CM6 and when I first got CM7 up it said my phone memory was low. I thought it would say on the SD card.
I'll probably try tomorrow again if I get the courage and I most definitely will DL Calkun's tools.
Thanks!
I'm going to guess the nandroid didn't work either because of the phone memory low issue?
I would reccomend re-doing what you did originally, except when restoring with titanium, do NOT restore system settings, only apps and data. That's probably the cause.

Wiped manually, installed from zip, and didn't restore system data. CM7 has been running for about an hour now.
Thanks everyone!
Glad that you got it working man.
Is ANY system data safe to restore from Titanium?
Had the exact same problem myself... I'm restoring my Myn nandroid as we speak, and I'll mess with it more tomorrow.
Does anyone know what (if any) system data is safe to restore from Titanium? I just want my contacts and text messages basically... I don't know exactly what caused the problem from Titanium since I made sure not to check any of the Sense-related items.
For about 20 min after I pulled the battery I couldn't get the phone to do anything except vibrate three times when I tried to get into recovery. Eventually coaxed it into the bootloader where I selected to boot into recovery to nandroid back. Almost had a heart attack!

You should never restore system settings.
For contacts, open accounts and sync, tap your google account, then sync contacts, and that'll be done.
For texts, people highly recommend sms backup or my backup. Then backup apps and data, then restore only apps and data, and you'll be set.
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I tried searching multiple times and couldn't find anything about this. I just recently flashed my phone following the directions from the developer and the only major issue that I know of is the camera flash will not work when taking a picture in low light. I also tried the "flashlight" app and that also won't turn on the light either. Before I try re-flashing the ROM, is there anything I can try before? Thanks for the help...
I can assure you that it is NOT the rom, unless, of course, you have a corrupt download. My camera flashes like it is suppose to and my flashlight turns on and i am currently using the Synergy RC-1 rom. You can try rebooting into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then re-flash Synergy atop your current install.

Thanks for your help. I hate to re-flash after configuring the layout the way I like but if that's what it takes then I'll do that.

If you're going to reflash the same Synergy rom then go into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then make a nandroid backup of only your data as well as android.secure & sdext partitions. (If you do not have any apps saved on the android.secure [usually paid apps] and/or the sdext partition then disregard including them in the backup). Afterwards, flash the Synergy rom, boot to your homescreen, and then clear all of the default widgets from your homescreens. When you're finished, reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik then restore the backup that you made of your data, android.secure & sdext, if applicable. Whe the restore it complete, boot to your homescreen. You will find them as they were in the previous installation of the rom.
Hello,
I have an Amazon Kindle Fire with gedeROM v1.7. I love the updates because it makes my device better and better.
But can i update my device without data wipe so i don't have to reinstall and reconfigure the entire device every time. And if I can can someone please tell me how.
My usual procedure is download file, data wipe, clear davlik and cache, flash, wipe cache restart and wonderfull a better device. But all the data and apps go with the wipe so any help would be awesome!
Thnx for all the help!!

If you're not switching to a different ROM (ie, from CM7 to CM9, or from hashcode to energy...) then you can optionally skip the data wipe (factory reset), which will retain your data and applications...
Alternatively, you may want to take a look at Titanium Backup.
Thnx for the info.
I have been hearing a lot about Titanium Backup, can you give more info about the program.
With TB you can back up any apps on your device. Then when you update a rom just download TB again and then you can restore your apps that you backed up. I love TB and use it on every device that I have rooted. It is a lifesaver!! Ok maybe a time saver anyway!! LOL!!!!
I had a REALLY bad experience from not wiping everything completely. I'd definitely do a backup, like Titanium or MyBackupPro, and wipe it all just to be safe. To many goofy things can happen if you don't.
It really depends on what ROM your flashing. There are rare occasions you can cross flash without issue. Not recommended. Just updating the same ROM so wipe is necessary, unless mentioned by the dev.
If you do wipe than BUYING titanium backup is the way to go. The free version doesn't auto install apps, each needs confirmation.
I can get any ROM on the kf or my gnex but up and running in less than 15 minutes.
this is what I have been doing and I am not sure if it's bad to do or not. I make a backup of just my data using twrp, then I wipe the caches and do a factory reset. Then I install the rom, and then restore my data using twrp

Restoring your backed up data is akin to not having done "factory reset" in the first place.
You shouldn't encounter any major issues so long as you're flashing newer versions of the same ROM and there hasn't been a large change (for example, switching to linaro).
Hey. I need some help.
My phone doesn't pass the Google screen.
The device worked after installing JellyBam 6.6 and everything was great.
I turned it off after restoring few apps from TB, and then it didn't turned on to the ROM.
Before installing I wiped cache, devlik and data.
I can get to fastboot mod and from there to the recovery (TWRP 2.4.3.0).
Also I can use the toolkit.
What should I do??
It happend to my friend and he told me he wiped everything and installed stock,
but I don't want to format the internal storage as he did.
Should I just install the ROM again, backup and install another ROM?
Should I wipe system?
you restored system apps from TiBu, which is a bad idea.
reflash the rom/gapps then restore your data, but do not restore system apps.
I didn't restore many system apps.
I think only the clock, some app that I made as system one (Notification Toggle), the launcher,
Time zone and few minor things like thats.
Now I wiped cache, devlik and data again.
Should I just install the ROM now or should I wipe system before? (TWRP says it's inly wipe the ROM)
You have the rom in sd rite?
So just go to recovery abd wipe cache and data and system.
After that make a fresh install of the ROM. Let it boot up.
-Rik[Rittik]
doesnt matter. you restored system apps which can cause problems
wipe, reflash rom, restore only non-system apps/data

Just do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and flash the ROM then the Gapps and reboot. You may not even need the factory reset though. Try without it first.
Already did factory reset..
What is system reset and when I need to use it?
If it's wiping the rom, shouldn't it done before changing one?
OH, I just realized I deleted the ZIP file from my device.

I've never done a system wipe. But I assume it wipes EVERYTHING. Meaning if you do that, you better flash something right after so you have something to boot to. Otherwise it will never boot and you will have to hook it up to a computer and flash a stock image and start over. I dont know if wiping the system will wipe your SD card as well. If all you did was changes some system apps and data around then a simple re-flash of the ROM should fix it. If its not then I'm going to say that there is something else wrong.
I don't have to ROM.zip on my device.
Can I somehow do this using Fastboot Mode and my PC?
I tried with OTG and DOK but it's not working :X
boot into recovery and use adb to push the rom to your device.
adb push c:\yourlocationofrom\rom.zip /sdcard/
Okay, I did it, but I can't find the file..
It says that the file passed..
I did "adb push D:/JellyBam.zip \sdcard\"
Where did the file moved to?
OK, got it!
I tried again with upsided / \ and it works.
THANKS A LOT!
working
So I shouldn't restore any system app?
Not even data?
And what about SMS, data usage and stuff like that?
Apps that I made as system app (Like notification toggle)
Launcher??

It depends on what ROM you were on when you made the backup. Are you coming from a different ROM? Because thats when you should NOT restore system stuff. Thats like trying to add stuff to the system that is not meant for the ROM. It doesnt take that long to set up all your settings manually. I would just stay away from restoring system stuff with Titanium Backup. There are apps that backup and restore your sms messages in the Play Store that work well. What launcher are you wanting to restore? If you made any app a system app previously, I would just restore it as a user app and THEN make it a system app again. Dont restore it directly as a system app. And before you do anything, make a backup of your ROM so you dont have to go through all this again.
I restored few things, but Data only.
Now there isn't a problem.
THANKS again for helping
