So I flashed KaosFroyov38, and now all of a sudden I can't receive texts!!
I've wiped and flashed another ROM (Tazz froyo), and I still can't receive texts!!!
I've tried re-programming using *228, but that did not work.
Can someone please help me with this? What should I do? Thanks.
Btw, I can send, but can't receive.
Edit: I'm using Google Voice for now...but I'd still love some suggestions!!
Here is the process that I use when this happens. You really only need to do it once as long as you keep the backup XML file with your APNs on your SD card.
1. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
2. Download a ROM with the correct APN files, like Plain Jane (basically a stock ROM with root). One version of Plain Jane can be found here:
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718092/
3. Do a full data wipe in recovery and then install the Plain Jane ROM.
4. Boot into the new ROM.
5. Make sure 3G and Sync is on and you should get all your missed text messages, once everything is finished syncing.
6. On the market, grab the app "APN Backup & Restore".
7. Run APN Backup & Restore and backup your APNs. The app will create a folder on you SD card with an XML file. Hold on to those files and if you format your SD card, make sure you backup the XML file.
8. You can now restore to your nandroid backup or load any other ROM. Then just run "APN Backup & Restore" and restore you APNs.

what can i do to receive media messages again? i rooted to TAZZ Vanilla 20 and every time someone sends a mms all i get is a pic with a status bar. please help.
your best bet would be to ask Tazz in the TV20 thread
tazz may have missed the MMS, but you should ask to verify. if that doesn't work, download the attached, and then use APN Backup & Restore (in market).
should fix your problem
(you will have to download the app, then make a backup, then copy the contents of the zip into the backup folder on your SDCard... then restore).
I sent tazz a help message. i did like you said just now but didnt know what i was looking at or for. can you give me a little more detail or a link please. thanks
(thought i did a good job in previous post... LOL).
download the zip file i attached in previous post. keep it somewhere handy (we'll come back to this).
- go to the Market, and search for "APN backup" - it will be the first returned result (APN Backup & Restore - by Ritesh Sahu).
- after app installs, open it up and choose to create a "backup" of your current APNs.
- after this is done, on your SDCard (you will have to mount as USB), you will have an "APN Backup" folder. take the zip file (Ivan's APNs) and unzip into this folder.
- go back to APN Backup & Restore and choose to "restore" APNs. choose the "ivans" file that you just copied into this folder.
- reboot and you should be good to go!
i did exactly what you wrote and still, all i get is a pic instead of vid with audio.
Recently, my text messages have not been being received. People send them, but I don't receive them. I recently reinstalled Kaosfroyo v38, twice, but no messages. I tried using FroSHEDYo, but it still didn't work. I'm at wit's end here, and I can't make it work. I'm about to call Verizon, and get them to send me a new one. I rely on texts to communicate with most of my friends, and do it all the time. This is urgent to me.
1. Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
2. Download a ROM with the correct APN files, like Plain Jane (basically a stock ROM with root). One version of Plain Jane can be found here:
hxxp://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718092/ ( I don't think I can post links yet so change hxxp to http)
3. Do a full data wipe in recovery and then install the Plain Jane ROM.
4. Reboot into the new ROM.
5. Make sure 3G and Sync is on and you should get all your missed text messages, once everything is finished syncing.
6. On the market, grab the app "APN Backup & Restore".
7. Run APN Backup & Restore and bachup your APNs. The app will create a folder on you SD card with the APN files. Hold on to those files and if you wipe your SD, make sure you back them up somewhere.
8. Then you can restore to your nandroid backup or load any other ROM. The just run "APN Backup & Restore" and restore you APNs.
It sounds like it could be stuck in EVDO only. You will have to go to a stock based ROM like xtrSense and download Anycut and add a shortcut for CDMA Options to your home screen then change the Mode of Operation to Hybrid.

Hi ... i back up my rom... to try another one... with clockworkmod... the files of back up its ok i think....but when i restore the rom... dosnt pass the samsung animation to get inside the phone... so i decide to put another rom but i want to back up my contacts.... did anyone know...where they ve been saved... ???
Hello,
You can use Titanium Backup to backup all applications and system data. The contacts data is the "[Contacts/cal.......something" (in green, beginning with "[" in the "Backup/restore" list].
After you flash the new rom, just reinstall TB and restore the item I told you (data only), reboot and your contacts will be there again. I use this procedure every time I flash a new rom.
You can also try MyBackup Root to backup only contacts, sms, mms and so on. I don't like it, but it works
Ciao
edit: typo..

I think what he was asking is there a way to extract the contacts from a clockwork recovery restore file.
I backed up my phone from an older software version before upgrading a new OTA, and my backup wont restore, and theres a couple contacts that didnt backup to my google account, and I dont know how to retrieve them because i seriously dont want to backup my phone, use the RUU to downgrade, unlock, root, restore the first back-up to get the contact numbers, RUU back to stock, get the OTA, unlock, Root, then restore the new back-up. thats a couple hours work when i have the restore file on my sd card and on my computer. I just want those contacts off of it.
i found an similar thread on this at

I forgot to backup my SMS and contacts before I flashed a new ROM. Can I get the files off the nandroid I saved on my PC and move them where they need to go using a file manager like ES?
I went from ARHD to AOKP jb

Contacts are saved on the internet with Google Contacts.
For SMS, you will need to extract a certain file (mmssms.db or smsmms.db, forgot what it's called) and paste it in the correct location.
OR, you could backup you current ROM, restore backup with info on it, backup the info, restore current ROM's backup, restore info
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
You can use Titanium Backup. Menu -> Extract from Nandroid backup. The items listed with a blue checkmark on the right side are system settings type. Choose data only at the top, and check Messeges. Same goes for contacts. Keep in mind that doing this will overwrite your existing data, and not merge it.
Always backup first!
I have been searching for an answer for this question for a couple of days now but have yet to find one, so I decided to go ahead and make a thread for it. What I am wondering, is how to create a backup of all my user data, apps, and app data that I can restore on different roms? I am currently stock rooted, however I have downloaded and wish to flash ARHD Rom, but I don't want to have to re install everything from scratch I just want to be able to click "restore" and have all my apps and data back.
Any Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys.

Because you are not rooted go this route. You do not require root.
1. Use the Helium app and copy the folder it creates onto your computer, it's called "CARBON." This will copy all apps and app data.
2. Use HTC Backup from the app store and backup everything onto dropbox. This will also backup your apps + data. It will be on a cloud storage so no need to push anything to anywhere.
3. Go into your SMS and hit the menu button. Backup all user text messaging. Copy to computer.
now you can report everything to anything.
After you are on your new ROM.
1. Run HTC Backup (comes with rom) and restore everything.
2. Use Helium to restore any missing apps.
3. Restore SMS.
Done.

I am rooted, what I'm really wondering now is if I can restore the data portion of my nandroid backup after flashing the new rom or if that will result in a bunch of FC's?

Use Titanium Backup and it can grab apps from a nandroid backup and restore them. navigate for this feature through the options menu.

Yes, you can flash a clean Rom then restore your data file from a previous backup. the only problem with that is that whatever problems you may have had before, may be present still. Otherwise, it doesn't hurt anything. In fact, both CWM and TWRP allow advanced restore where you can select portions of your back up to restore..one a time. In my opinion, it allows you to see, if a backup fails to restore, where exactly it is having trouble, be it in system, boot, data..etc. I literally just did this, restoring a data backup onto a clean Rom, and so far no issues. I understand what you mean by not wanting to set everything back up. System settings, widgets and app placements. You had the perfect setup and it took you forever to get it that way. Titanium backup and Rom Toolbox don't always restore these things like they claim to do.
Edit: I am finding the hard way with this phone, that unlike my old LG Mytouch, when you flash a firmware upgrade, non OTA push I mean, it doesn't stick to system. It's saved to data. So if you flash a data file from a backup with an older version, your back to that version. With my old phone, we could swap Roms after an update all day, and the baseband and firmware updates would stick every time.
