dear all
I have decided to flash woth RC2.
I have the following files
1. SUT L3 installed in PC
2. Andro-id_signed_v3.3-rc2
3. FB0G-Andro-ID_V3.3-RC1
4. cwm-recovery-fb0-v2 (i extracted and i got a file "recovery.img"
Just before starting with the flashing, I want the back up of the present 2.2.2 (froyo, to keep my warranty safe). Should I require some more thing to make a back up?
Please help me, I just read kaskus forum also, and happy to hear that there is a fix for GPS bug.
Ok so all this is already there in this forum but a quick roundup for you...for Backup of 2.2 you can either download the Stock 2.2 Firmware from Kakus and keep it or you can upgrade to CWM Recovery and Take a backup of your image...
1. For CWM - keep the recovery.img handy
2. Shut Down your device - HOld Down Power + Volume UP Button - It will go into
Download Mode
3. Once in download mode...connect the phone to your computer with USB Cable....it will find the device and install drivers.
4. Post driver install FIH Drive will show up in my computer...It might say drive has errors and needs fixing....IGNORE that...also if some virus scanner shows this as virus..DONT clean anything just ignore it....
5. Replace file recovery.img in the folder
image....Copy the existing file in that folder and keep it as backup of original recovery..
6. Remove USB...Reboot the phone....
Now you are on ClockWorkMode Recovery....
How to take backup?
1. Shut Down Phone..
2. Boot into
Recovery Mode (Power+Vol UP+Vol Down)
3. Use the Volume up down to move and Search button to select
4. Select backup and restore
5. Select Backup and wait for the process to complete
6. Once done use back button to move back to previous menu and reboot
So now you have a backup of 2.2 go ahead use SUT and flash the RC1
(Release Candidate) nbo file and RC2 using CWM using the tutorial that you may already have...Try the GPS Fix as well and give feedback.....
Caution: Any of the above steps if done incorrectly can brick the phone...so be very patient and read this forum and be very clear about what to do....all these questions have already been answered in details....
All of the above methods are thanks to great folks like TjStyle, Dhaway from Kakus...I am just doin Ctrl C/Ctrl V
Enjoy....
