need voicemail help for noob - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I rooted my phone and my voicemail is now gone. Isearched and found the file to restore it but I dont know how to do that any help would be aprecciated thanx

I rooted and it made my Icon disappear. Are you sure this is not the case?
I got my icon back by booting into recovery and running the ?fix gui mismatches? or what ever that tool is. Took a long time, but when it was done and I rebooted, my icon was back.
BUT! The text under the icon is "com.core..."
anyone know how to fix that????

[q] need help!!! Is there a way of making it ok again? :(

hi ...
I recieved the update notice and decided to try out froyo but sadly I forgot to remove lagfix. what happened is that 3 button combo doesnt work and the phone says its out of memory and tries to shut down as many background apps as possible making popups about apps forcing to close and by that makes it impossible to do anything... I can still connect it with kies and I ask you here in a last attempt to fix the phone...
anyone got a idea? if you do please share
thanks in advance / Edin
noone?
bump
Disable lagfix, restart, restore defeaults.. might work
If you manage to enter settings and enable usb debugging you can use adb to reboot in recovery and do a factory reset...
thanks for the answers ... now it may be possible to enter settings if I get rid of the damn popups that make the phone lagg.. any ideas?
Is there any way that they will fall for something like update made it lagg (and who should I turn to)... maybe they will be able to fix it ? :S

[Q] Launcher

Hey guys
I managed to root my device with the first guide (oneclick) and uninstalled alot of LG crap, same time i uninstalled the LG launcer. - Today i got a problem with my device. I couldnt ring and hear people when i manged to get in contact.
I decided to factory reset the phone, but my problem is that i dont have any launcher now. When i do the hard reset thing (vol down + home and power on) i can get to the screen where i can type in pin code, but after that there is black screen cause there is no launcher. The search function dont work but the notification bar is working. so i cant get to the market and install. Mostly it just shows the LG logo when the phone is turned on and the touch screen is working cause it makes the click sound. But nothing else.
Does some one have an idea to how i can get a launcher installed ??
thanks in advance
Please use search function. This problem is already discussed here. You have to use ADB.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium App
Sorry the other threads i found was about how to get other launchers. But i will try read deeper into to threads then ;(

Hello my fren.. Did u in the 1st place had made backup or ur rom via nandroid before removing stuff from ur rom? If yes then its too bad.. But there is always an alternative..
1. Download a custom available here and place it in ur mmc card.
2. I presume that u have paulobrien 3.0.1.4 r1 - ClockworkMod Recovery for the LG Optimus 2X installed then flash it via clockwork.
3. Enjoy ur new fast phone!!
naah i did not backup.. thought i would never need it.. but i was wrong..
so here is what i did.
When the nortification bar was working i went into the musicplayer from there, in there i managed to get the search funtion in albums wich gave me the opportunity to search on the internet via the browser (wich i could not open or find cause no launcher ).
I went to 4shared from there and found a launcher but i could not install it because the installing from other source funtions was disabled. Fortunately it gave me the option so i could enable it and i did.. AND YEEEHA i manged to install a launcher and retsarted and it dos work !!!
Before when i pressed the home button it just restarted the phone i could do nothing ! only black screen with logo.. so i reset it and tried the above...
it seems that my phone is still rooted, cause i have the "superuser" thing but when i get time i will unroot it and sell this crap of a device and get back my old Nokia N8 again
Don't just root your phone without learning how to actually use the powers it gives you. If you remove anything from /system you will not be able to restore it with factory reset, because factory reset relies on what is in /system. But I guess you figured that out the hard way.
Learn to use ADB and nvflash, nvflash being the easiest based on the guides at 2x.modaco.com. ADB can get you out of most trouble by editing/replacing single files and nvflash will enable you to overwrite all partitions, i.e. with a stock ROM.
Everything you need is in these forums or in the wiki.
yea the hardway was more fun ;-) (actually not )
I was trying the ADB way, but my computer didn regonize the phone so it was difficult
Now i just need the stock apps and launcher so i can unroot it again
start off with this page:
http://android.modaco.com/content/l...rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15-03-2011/
once you have restored the stock rom you can now delete the clockwork recovery by using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
after that unroot in superoneclick and your all done.

What do you want for the phone - lol?
Funny how when ever some user messes up something - then its the device that is crap
Ehmm the deivce is crap... the sounds is terrible.. and the reason why i messed up was i had problems with the device. When i call some one they cant hear me and i cant hear them.. same with income.. but i can text msg.. and its not my carrier or other stuff.. it is the ceappy device ;-)

[Q] no dialer screen after flashing stock gingerbread kf1 and other problems

Hey guys just had a couple of questions, I flashed the stock kf1 on both mine and my brothers captivate. I was on stock froyo and he was on stock eclair. i followed nakedninja's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127209. On my captivate i had used TB to restore my contacts data and on his i restored contacts data using the export feature in the contacts app. I also rooted mine using the guide and i left his unrooted. The problem is both he and I have the same problem where we will receive an incoming call but the phone does nothing but stay at either the home screen or what ever screen that you are currently on and just play the ring tone. There is no option of answering the call. I have to wait until the call ends for it to tell me that I had a missed call by so and so. Then I can manually bring up the dialer and call that person back. Also when I do get the notification at the top for the missed call, usually I can just click on the name and the phone will take me to the call log of that contact and all i have to do is tap the contact and it will make the call. But on gingerbread when i use the notification bar at the top to check the missed call and if I tap that name to call, it will not call that contact it will call the last person that was in the general call log which is weird. any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Anyone?
Can I reinstall maybe just the dialer or just the contacts menu or which ever one that is causing the problem? if so do i just add the apk to my phone and install or is there a different way?
Thanks
hmm.. 124 views and not one reply. if nobody has heard of this problem than can anyone who knows about reinstalling just certain apk's let me know if i can wipe the dialer and contact apks somehow and reinstall them. I am assuming the problem is coming from the apps themselves and thinking if i could just reinstall them without having to re-flash the whole phone that it might fix it.
Thanks

Dunno what the export feature in the contacts app is, but I never restore my contacts. After I sign in to my google account my contacts are being synced automatically. Maybe restoring contacts is the problem.

i think u shd reflash the rom again...clear cache..factory reset..and format internal sd card after and before flash...
just give it a try..might solve ur issue...trying wont hurt
wow sorry guys did not see that you guys had responded. stangri, killer_raj, thanks for your tips I'm going to give that a try and see what happens. i was wondering though, since i already have flashed the gingerbread bootloaders and dont want to flash them again, can i just do a master clear and then reflash just the rom using odin? if so which option do i check in odin? do i uncheck everything and only check one thing? is it the PDA, Phone, or csc option?
Thanks again
If you want to flash with Odin stock KF1 without bootloaders I recommend using this.
Downloaded. thanks prbassplayer.
i will give this a try a little later. a couple of other people are having the same exact problem as i am here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204823 ill let them know about this thread.

and yes restoring data & apps from tibu is cause of forceclose and freeze and lot of times...
not all the time..and when u know what u r doing...so just see after the fresh install everythin works fine..then dont use tibu...
the best n the cleanest..safest way of restroing contats and sms..which i always use...
from contacts..import/export...and export to sd card..u wil hav just one vcf file..having all ur contacts in it..so u can even copy that to ur comp for future use....and restore later when u done flashin..
and smsbackup and restore app by ritesh sahu in market..its free..and it makes a backup on ur internal sd..so copy it to comp or to external sd after taking backup...later after install put that back on internal sd..and install app and restore ur sms...
and i dont use tibu to restore my apps..i always hav the apk's i use ..so i fresh install after the flash...or i download them again from market..so i never had any freeze/forceclose problem ..after any new rom flashin...
replied the same in that otehr thread as well...

[Q] Tethering force close on WiFi and USB???

Hi to all, Ok I have an Att Samsung Captivate with 2.3.5 rooted. Thing is, after I did the upgrade everytime I turn on WiFi or plug the USB cable a very annoying message about Tethering force close appears. I read that to fix it I have to do a factory reset but I cant understand how to do that and what will be lost in that process.
If someone knows another fix for this message pls share it. Thanks in advance!
Anyone knows how to fix this??
Same thing here, except I'm completely stock, never rooted, running OEM 2.3. Annoying as fark! Anybody know whats going on here?

factoey reset will delete all the apps message contact etc from the device completely i will not touch the sdcard at all
to do factory reset go to setting- backup and restore- factory data reset and it will ask you the google account password if you have linked it then phone will restart and will dovthe reset
I got annoyed with as well. Decided to go down the custom rom route and flashed Legend. The problem has gone away and I'll never look back. Since warranty and support from ATT are no longer any issue, I'd urge you to go that route.

Weird startup

Hey Im pretty sure someone has posted something about this here somewhere but cant find it, ok so I flashed cm11 with a older recovery I think it was cwm at the time and it didnt work out so well but i did get the phone running again but now whenever I restart the phone it comes up with a random multi coloured screen like my lcd is broken but it isnt, can anyone tell me how to fix this so it goes back to the way it used to be or point me in the right direction ??
Cheers to whomever is able to help me
