Dropbox restore (TiBu)

Hey guys my sim got deleted and I flashed a new ROM, how can I restore from drop box by just using my phone?
Is there a way or I have to use PC and transfer from drop box folder to SD!?

I don't know of a way to restore directly from dropbox. I believe it WS designed as a means to store the backups rather than restore from there.

Right. There are some apps on the market you can use to download from drop box to your phone. I've never used them but its worth a shot if you don't have a PC near by.

Just installed CM10 can't make calls or send texts

After installing a CM10 nightly data / WiFi are working but I can't make calls or send text messages. This is my first experience with a custom rom so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Do you still have you imei number in about phone/status?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

I would check the IMEI as suggested above and flash again if the IMEI is still showing up.

My IMEI was set, but my phone number wasn't.
Thanks for pointing me to the right place.

Update, I jumped the gun on this being solved. I can call and receive texts, but I can't send them.

Check your apn?

I went into about phone -> status and all the values look right / filled in

I see this posted a lot when trouble shooting here in the forums. What exactly is APN?

Access Point Name
It's basically the settings for what your uses to connect to the network.

I checked for that and I currently have two options:
Bell: pda.bell.ca. Currently checked
Bell flex: inet.bell.ca
I tried the second one but that didn't help

Edit n/m

Some googling led me to this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/SMSC_Updates
I tried all three styles but each one gave me an instant "update error"

You are on a bell phone right?

I restored from the backup I made (of my stock rom before I started all of this) and everything worked.

Then stay on that....

Never mind. To copy apps you need access to the system folder which means you would need to root.

None of my apps got backed up..... but thanks

Did you select back up apps in options
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

Yeah but you need the pro version for it to be downloaded on another device....
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

you could odin a custom recovery image, boot into recovery and create a nad of your phone and then dropbox it for safe keeping. Flash the original recovery - i think i saw it in the development threat - and check the flash counter to see if you tripped it... if you did then you'll have to follow the instructions in the dev thread on how to reset everything to stock, it'll take a bit of the search function and some reading but should be releatively easy.

i was in the same boot as you. you must of wipe your "importants data" like efs files. do you have a back up by any chance before you even flash a rom?does your your imie show "0".

I don't think so where would I find the imie number at so I can tell weather it say 0 or not

Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Try flash back to old rom or a different rom. Do you have a backup of your efs files? EFS partition is actually a internal place in our android device such as android phone which contains some important and some basic info related to our device identity like Wi-Fi address, Bluetooth MAC address and the very main IMEI address (nv_data.bin). If your efs gets corrupted you cannot get data or make calls.

Maybe your apn is not set.settings/more settings/mobile network/apn. Check to see if your carrier is listed.

Thanks I check the APN setting like you said and everything was blank so I had put all proxy number and port numbers back in I didn't know flashing a ROM would erase that but thanks for the help
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Is the phone up and running now?

Somewhat I just can't get the APN settings to stay I would be good but the error is gone when I make or receive calls

Sgh-t889v lost data and phone

Just got phone of craigs that has all functions but data and text capability.
Network search gives 3 other networks but not mine (mobilicity ) .imei present, and matches the back. I installed prerooted mbc rom and no change, than converted to stock rom and still no joy. Than I flashed t889v modem still same. What is going on ? Efs folder is there is it possible it is corrupted. I know there is more people with this issue but no way to fix. Help ! What else can I try ?

I think you have to enter your carrier info manually. I dont think it will detect it. Someone correct me if im wrong.

Sounds like you need to set the apn, but that's just a semi educated guess
