Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to the modding of Android phones (my previous phone was a TYTN II) and I'm having some problems restoring my backups via Clockwork mod (which is a bit of a pain in the ass for me, as I think you understand).
Ive tried to flash my phone and stuff, but I can't download apps from market/start google talk (I know this is related to eachother) when I have a mdc rom installed. This is not really the problem I'm asking a solution for, but the real problem is, that I can't go back to my old rom and stuff. I have rooted my phone, installed CWM, made a backup, but somehow it keeps freezing at the loading screen of the phone whenever I have restored a backup and reboot the phone.
Atm I have resetted my phone with NVFlash, I have not yet innstalled anything but I still have a backup which I'd like to restore. This is my situation:
LG-P990: Android 2.2.2, Baseband 1035.21_20110315 (I updated this with Paul's update), Kernel 2.6.32.9, Build: FRG83G, LGE version: v10b.
Anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong? Did I miss a step in the process? Please help me out!
I'm no expert, so you should probably wait for one of them, but I had a similar problem and it's important to do a wipe before installing the ROM. (There's two wipe options, run them both)

please check if the DATE in your settings is correct. the rom I had previously installed was set to MAY and this made it impossible to use gtalk and download roms.
yeah sounds silly, but worth checking
ah well since you have reset already. but maybe you get back in the same situation at one time.
Thanks for the quick replies.
@Marco_ch: I already tried the date problem, literally went thru 100 of pages to find out what the issue was with the gtalk, but nothing helped, so I'm guessing I made a mistake with the rooting or something...
I already reset, but this is the third time I've reset, I've already tried flashing my device 3 times and each time I end up not being able download apps.
@Jakkelomme: As far as I know there is only 1 wipe option? Reset factory settings? I always do that before I install a rom yes.
well I had the same problem (gtalk, market) but I gave it another shot with this:
http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator
its running brilliantly on my device. have you tried that one yet?
Tried it a few days ago, when it was anotehr version, might try it again now, thanks. Which options do you suggest (I'm not that much of an expert )
Edit: Though i wish someone had a solution for me not being able to restore via CWM!
oh you dont want suggestions from me - I have that device for a couple of days only and dont even know how to properly make a backup
but I chose the following:
EXT 4
Pauls Kernel
Left out all the LG Stuff as I find it kinda useless and laggy
good luck!

Did everything you asked, installed new version of Romkitchen with the stuff you suggested... Still doesnt download appss. Still stuck at "Starting download...". Help, anyone?
Nevermind guys, I fixed it. Turned out the problem WAS with date & time. My provider made the date 12/05/'11 instead of 12/04/'11. It was why I couldnt download from the market. Thank you all for helping out anyway
Hi guys , I already posted thread here about internet not working after flashing radio because I thought that flashing radio messed up connection on my phone, so i reflash rom and everything was working fine although I didnt figured out what happened.
Today i went to twrp 2.6.0 and did nandroid backup of my current rom (viper one) ,so everything passed fine. After that since I reboot I am not available to access to internet over phone. wifi or 3g doesnt matter.
I have a lot of UnknownHostExceptions in logcat. I dont know what can cause this because I had internet then I did nandroid backup and I rebooted.
Tried to wipe out dalvik but that didnt help .
So exactly happen the same thing that happened to me when i was flashing radio through recovery , just in that case i thought it is related with radio so i reflashed rom. I wouldnt like now to reflash rom , so if someone can give me advice what to try ..
Thanks in advance

I'd flash the ROM again with a clean install and see if the problem persists. It's not ideal with having to set up everything again but it normally solves any issues.
i would like to try to solve it differently

Well I'd upgrade to the latest version of TWRP for sure but I use the stock Kernel so can't help with that side of it.

Dear XDA-Members,
I am one of those people, who flashed the Se7en-ROM with EMUI 3.0 without deeper knowledge. I know it was stupid and I really wish I hadn´t done. But anyway...
The history:
- Flashed Se7en-Rom (EMUI3.0) following the guide
- Distorted voice -->trying to revert back to EMUI 2.3
- So flashed TWRP, but TWRP doesn´t work(recognizing no touch, freezed, false temperature displayed), so no restore possible
- Flashed stock recovery
- Tried to force update, but fails (I tried nearly every downgrade-Update.app available on XDA)
- Flashed back to CWM, tried to flash se7en-Rom (emui 2.3) -->bootloop
- Okay, flashed back Se7en (EMUI 3.0), no distorted voice(?!:good, but can´t follow the instructions, because I couldn´t flash the update.app (fails). So there are no gapps, they do not appear even after flashing manually. Also restoring with Titanium Backup doesn´t work.
So I´d like to get Gapps running or to downgrade..
Yesterday I saw that the internal storage is showed with 3,92GB (setting->storage). Due to this I obviously changed the partitions. Is there a non-dangerous way to repartitionate?
Just trying seems to make all even more badly, so thank you very much for reading this! I would be really happy for every tip.

There's no need for you to worry. Just follow this steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ascend-p7/general/reverting-emui-3-0-to-2-3-t2934277
Your problem will be resolved including your storage problem. Don't even try to re-partition your storage manually you will regret it at the end.

wow, thank you for your fast reply! I´ll test soon.. Sorry, i thought I read every thread relating to that topic, but I didn´t saw this one... thanks:highfive:
Today I made a first step towards custom ROM by installing the latest TWRP with Odin and taking a backup of all partitions. Rebooted and unfortunately now I have IMEI null and baseband null (it was originally I9305XXUFOA1 I believe)
Nothing else has been touched, I am still using stock ROM, and reset to factory default did not solve it...
I still have the IMEI number and a backup of the EFS partition. But when I restored this partition with TWRP, I still have No Signal.
I searched the forums and only thing closest is a post about the S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370699
Is there any suggestion on what I can try to recover this problem?
If I type *#1234#, I get
AP I9305XXUFOB2
CSC I9305PHNFOB2
But no CP?
Now I did a total restore of the backup made with TWRP, but still "unknown baseband"
In case it helps others, here is what I learned
When flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 on my 9305 with Odin, my modem becomes unusable every time.
It can be easily restored if you have the modem firmware, so that solved it. But it seems TWRP is very unreliable until I downgraded to an older version of it, 2.7.0.0. Now everything is working, although it can be tricky to get into the recovery mode (holding buttons for up to 30 seconds). I suppose this is normal behaviour...
Help please

Hi, I'm going nuts reading for the past 5 hours all the info about this issue and the multiple solutions i have tried with no success, i just stumbled in your post which describes exactly my problem, after flashing twrp bam!!
I have no backups, i bought this phone yesterday, unrooted this morning , spent some hours customizing stuff, got to the point to install a recovery to do a nand backup as the phone had all the apps and settings i wanted and this just happened, i am now going to do a complete stock flash, will it repair my modem? If not can you please provide me with a link to the modem firmware? Is it country associated, will i need a specific for my country/operator?
Thanks,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,
You should try to (re)flash only the modem with Odin. It's not so difficult, just take your time to familiarize with the steps.
To get a modem.bin, either you extract it yourself from a stock rom zip (see http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/) or get one from the topics at xda (for the 9305 I got XXALK2 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...05/modems-i9305-cwm-flashable-modems-t2010116).
I suppose you have no access to TWRP right now? If so, reflash it with Odin too. I recommend version 2.7.0; it works for me very well. Then immediately take backup of everything (EFS etc) and transfer it to your PC
Let us know how it goes,
SOLVED: Null IMEI and baseband
Hi all,
My problem is solved, after flashing the latest stock ROM for my model (I9300) I got my IMEI back and everything back to normal, as told I could have just the modem.bin flashed but I went for the full re-image.
Then i unrooted using cf-autoroot and flashed twrp version 2.8.6.0 instead of 2.8.7.0, rebooted and everything ok. I already performed a full nand backup and learned various lessons from this. I think guys at TWRP should know that their latest version for the galaxy s3 is causing this problem, i believe most people will send their phones for repair because there are so many possible causes for this problem and so many xdifferent possible solutions that most people will quit solving the problem and will try to return the phone for repair.
Thanks for your reply and for the help. I will send an email to twrp linking to this thread.

Hello,
I rooted my phone, installed SuperSu, Xposed with Xprivacy, etc. and everything works fine. Except SMS. I didnt noticed first because I dont wirte much SMS. I read others have the same problem. But I didnt find a real solution. They reflashed or Wiped everything (not allways a success) and on my phone ohter SMS apps doesnt work neither. I dont want to setup everything again if possible.
Is there no FIX/Patch which I can flash or a simple workaround ?
Regards liqui
Flash back to 4.4.4 ( i used .93 fw ) , root and install xzdr , create a new flashable rom with prf creator 1.1 ( None Below! ) including fotakernel kernel and modem. Wipe data, do a factory reset via TWRP And flash the newly created clean rom.
Seems prf creator 1.0 wasnt able to handle the modem files... :/
Hi,
I flashed the 5.1.1 agian because I didnt want to wait. This time it works. Did nothing different then the first time

By that you mean you flashed the latest ftf via flashtool?
I'm asking because I have the same problem, except one specific third party app is working, while another doesn't.
Thanks in advance
Hangouts figures to work, but in fact it doesn't. You can recognise it by switching back to stock messaging app, then the "send" SMS are gone. The solution I gave already. That's the simplest way to fix it with Bootloader locked, otherwise root will be lost. UB devices should fix it by flashing the actually used fw by flashtool with a full wipe, flashing a kernel with including recovery. Now just flash the latest SuperSU via recovery
You are totally right, I just hoped there would be another, simpler way. But I got it working again yesterday using your advice. After a little bit of ol' try 'n error I'm convinced it had something to do with the data partition, because when I restored the TWRP-backup, SMS function was lost again, but could be recovered by another wipe. That said, I first was on a prerooted firmware created with PRFC 1.1 and latest firmware but flashed SLiM ROM by wajk over that, so I don't know if the error lay within that ROM, but I'm not in the mood to try any time soon.
Cheers
