[Q] I Lost My Apps

I have recently rooted my phone using the Unrevoked3 method, and have loaded up the Dark Cocoa III rom. After doing this the rom worked great but I lost access to all the apps availabe on the stock rom. Is there any way I can unlock access to the SD card so I can use the already downloaded applications?

I will take this to mean that you did not create a nandroid backup of your initial setup prior to flash Dark Cocoa III. Having said that, is there a folder on your SD card associated with Dark Cocoa? Sometimes, a folder is created on your card when you flash a custom rom that contains the Sprint apps and other stuff that were removed by the developer.

What do you mean when you say "unlock access to the SD card"? Can you not use a file manager like Astro, ES Explorer or preferably, Root Explorer to access the files and folders on your card?

Idk if there is anything wrong. What u should do is go download "sprint lover" Rom. This Rom has everything stock. After u download it follow the flashing directions in that OP. after flashing and booting into the Rom, download Titanium Backup. Backup the stock original roms that u want (back up system apps). After it backs up, Nandroid back to your desired Rom. Download titanium again and restore your system apps that u backed up before hand... this should get u back in the game buddy!
Also any stock based Rom will have the original sprint apps unless noted otherwise

Like you, I, too, am unsure if anything is wrong.

So you flashed the new ROM and didn't do a nandroid backup or use titanium to backup user apps? Just trying to understand what process you went through to get your new ROM.
Like mentioned most sense ROMs that remove apps create a folder on your sd card with removed apps so you can reinstall them if you want.
Also, you don't need to unlock anything to get access to your sd card, just need a file explorer like Astro or Root Explorer (I recommend having both).

[Q] Question about Leedroid rom...

So I'm currently on my rooted Desire, with the standard/stock rom, however the small internal storage space is now starting to bug me a bit.
My question is, then, seeing as Leedroid GB is so close to the stock rom, will I be able to flash over the top without any wiping? The whole backing up and restoring is such a laborious process that I'd rather skip.
Anyone done it? I read on the FAQ that it could work but I thought I would check to see if anyone has actually been successful before doing it myself.
Thanks!

You must do a full wipe, make backup of your apps with Titanium Backup (You can download it on Market) and then you can restore them easily

Just make sure that you first backup with titanium and then you wipe

[Q] Questions about root

So... im not a noob but i never tried this before...maybe because i never found this answers...
I really want to root my Play R800i (4.0.2.A.0.42) running 2.3.4
with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859#
(yeah, just the root permissions, staing in the stock, without unlocking the bl...)
BUT, ive some questions
supposing that i do exatly the same as the tutorial, no errors... will bechance to brick it? (thats the more important one for me...)
will it delet my data and apps?
Can i stil upgrading by SonyEricsson?
yeah, thats it... thanks... and sorry about my english but i think that is understandable...

And another thing, there's any chances to get some problem with the buttons?(the game ones)
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

No there's no chance of bricking or messing up button etc,you can update,all your files will be the same and its pretty simple - you just have to run a script and it does it all for you ; it will close itself as well. NOTE- You can't update if you uninstall some apps I believe ; I've not tried it myself.

Ok thanks, I'll try today

I'm not sure you can backup rom completely without unlocking your bootloader and using clockworkmod recovery, but what i did was backup messages contacts etc with mybackup on the market, and apps+data with titanium then reflashed rom with flashtool erasing everything and running the programs i've mentioned when everything was finished.
so the best thing you can do is backup important things regularly and if your phone ever messes up you can always erase/restore everything

Ok, Thanks!

What is the best backup software for apps and data?
If I have my apps on the SD card using link2sd will I still need to backup them?
Thank you!

The best backup tool to use if you are rooted is titanium backup this will backup app and data so if you install new Rom you can restore apps and data.
Regardless if they are on sd card you still need to backup

Made backup, can't find it back.

I've just made a backup with cwm but now I can't find it anywhere in my file..
Running stock ROM
Anyone knows how to remove this backup? Memory is full
Don't have root.

Probably it is in internal sd card. Search for a folder called CWM.

Nope, I did it on my friends phone, was going to flash Liquid Smooth for him, so made backup for safety but the backup took 3gb space and that was all he had left.
I used this one (CWM) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2364980
I stopt after step 6, only wanted CWM recovery because Liquid Smooth would give root automaticly.. I did everything right,
- CWM worked
- Made backup (didn't know it would be 3gb)
- Rebooted, phone says not enough memory
- Can't find the backup. Really NOWHERE, trust me.
- CWM was not installed anymore when I again booted in recovery.
So the problem is that cwm is not installed anymore? If I flash md5. again with odin to get cwm will I find the nandroid backup?
I really need to solve this, it's my friends phone soo..
I made backup for safety, but now the backup is the problem because it's so big and can't be found.
Thanks
