Have you tried a different usb port? Do you have a different cable to try?

Tried everything nothing worked so tmobile is sending me a new phone this week. Now I have to find a way to get my files and settings to new phone.

Install a file manager to copy all of the files from the internal sd to your external sd.
Install Titanium backup from the market to backup all settings and apps.
Upgrade your new phone to the same version you have on your current phone and then restore the backup with Titanium and then either leave the copied files on the external sd or place them back onto the internal sd by using the file manager again.
Done and done!

That sux but at least tmobile is willing to switch it out for ya. Just do a nandroid bro and pull the backup file. When you get ur new phone root it and flash whatever rom ur nandroid is. Replace backup file, restore nandroid and u should be good to go. Just make sure u are on the same type of firmware as the restore, if ur backup is 2.2.1 and u are running a 2.1 Rom when you try to restore ur gonna bootloop. Good luck!

[Q] Looking for a way to tell apart backups

Hi all!
I have a HTC Desire and lately I've been switching a lot between the a Beta ICS ROM and a stable GB ROM (MildWild). Every time I switch I make a backup in Clockwork Recovery, which works fine.
However, I now have about 6 backups and no easy way to tell which one is ICS and which one is the GB one, the only way I can do this is to connect my Phone to my PC and look at the filesizes of the different partitions.
I want to be able to give all backups a name, so I don't have to connect my phone to my computer to tell them apart. However if I change the name of a folder, backup won't be succesful. (MD5 sum will not be correct or something)
Anyone an idea?

You can use rom manager when making your backups. It let's you rename them before it starts.

I use Rom Manager as well and i can confirm. it is the best to customize your backup (the name at least)
same here - i use rom manager and it can name your backups - go for it ...
If when you connect your phone to your PC you can just rename the backups to whatever you want
Or you can make a simple txt file where you put the date+the contents of the backup.

I tried that but when I would restore the backup it wouldn't work.
I'm now using ROM manager like suggested by other users, thank you very much!

reInstall 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.EU data needed

I installed the update yesterday and got the following problem:
After updating wireless is stuck and won't either turn on or off.. in settingsmenu on the wlan activate button it just says "error" in the second line. on push it says "activating" for some time the drops back to "error".
So my question: Does anyone have a copy or I don't know what of this update so I could try to intall it again? But I only want the original one..
Or if there's a way to correct it without installing the whole update again I'm of course open to.
PS: Moto Support just says Factory reset but there is upfront no way I am doing this without having tried anything else..
I had the same problem but not with wireless, with mobile data. Only thing that sorted it was a factory reset unfortunately. Not as bad if you use an app like app backup and restore and copy all of your phone storage to computer and back again after factory reset but still a pain

Thanks for the reply.
Do I remember right that you must be rooted to do a backup of phone data? Because then I'm screwed! Or is there another way or a software only running on the computer?
I wasn't rooted when I did it. I just backed up all my apps except system apps using app backup and restore, connected razr to PC in mass storage mode, copied the whole contents of the internal memory to my PC, did a factory reset, reinstalled app backup and restore, allowed non market apps in application settings, copied everything back from the PC, ran app backup and restore and reinstalled my apps. Note the order as back up apps are saved on the internal memory.
May be an easier way to do it though. I don't know if it would do the same with the motocast USB backup?

What do you mean with that? Why should I notice that and where can I see that (if I loke at it in explorer the apps are in alphabetical order..).
I don't know Motocast function but it seems pretty much more complex than just copy paste.. at least to me as I also never used it.
I did a factory reset, problem stays the same: error in wifi. Can someone provide me the update to flash it again and see if it helps? The only other way is to send to repair which I would not like to do..
I just flashed it on mine and everything went well. I think you might have to go to the recovery mode and do factory reset.
Good luck.

Has anyone here used motocast backup on their PC as it appears to back up the full internal memory? If anyone has, do you know if it puts your apps back on when you restore?

Can anyone make a nandroid with this update and upload somewhere(only need system)
Enviado desde mi XT910 usando Tapatalk
Did the update (from the other post) again, worked fine, but the problem with wireless still stays the same.. has anyone ideas how to solve?
PS: Could I try to flash an old OTA Update file in the same manner and then update again or wouldn't that work out?
Had the same error with my wifi a while back, but that was before the update. I went ahead and had the phone replaced because i was not able to get a solution.
no love for the nandroid?
come on guys.......

Did you get a new phone or what did they do?
I upgraded to this one through rds lite. But it doesn't seem as quick as the 651.167.19 upgraded to. 21 through moto cast.
Anyway to get back to that? Is rds safe. As in can i flash the .19 through rds without damaging my phone?
Many thanks.

[Q] File transfer to internal and sd fail.

s4 verizon
i have searched up and down for some one with a similar issue. i have recently rooted and flashed a rom, i had a few failed attempts with twerp flashing a rom so gave up and flashed back to stock and file transferring is still messed up. only way to get data on my phone is to download it directly to my phone using my phone (roms through xda app)
i am currently running synergy rom fully rooted.
any help or ideas would help.
i have re re re re re installed samsung drivers a ton. i even went as far to install kies..
i have even restored the dell computer i have.. and made sure everything is up to date.
i have posted a screen of the
"Cannot copy item..." notification i get.
UPDATE-
so i tried putting the file in a folder and transferring it and it worked,,, wtf.
still my question is out there,,, is this a hidden android thing that will be on new devices??? or is this the computers fault? should i do a compleate restore to stock on this computer
?
I was having a similar issue and found that apps like titanium backup may restore a system app from another rom that would make my phone act like your phone. Do you use titanium backup?

i actually do use ti.. but not yet on this phone. i found that simply placing the file in a folder and then copying works. for whatever reason.

[q] need help with soft brick verizon note 2

Guys I made a dumb mistake. After trying to install Pinky and the Brain rom coming from another rom, I wiped my internal sd card. Well I downloaded the pinky and the brain rom and put it on an external sd card. the rom shows when I go to install but it shows all the folders, but it doesn't see the rom.zip file. I don't think this is something I have to flash with odin and Casual is out of the question since im rooted, unlocked, and on a custom rom. I am currently have TWRP. do I have to manipulate the pinky and the brain rom. Im sure im missing a step. I don't want to odin back to a stock rom then using casual to get back. is there an easier way.
I use my droid as my main internet source. Now im stuck with a POS sony Erickson experia just to have a working phone and im connecting via 3g..sucks for me lol..seriously what am I doing wrong that my phone is not showing the zip file to install via TWRP.
Again I have no rom on the phone at this point...just to be clear
Did you make a nandroid backup before attempting to flash anything?

Bad idea. ALWAYS nandroid. Download a rom on your comp and use a card reader to transfer it to SD. Then flash it. Idk what else you can do other wise.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Seems you still have access to TWRP correct?
I would then load into it, under advanced, go to sideload. Connect it to a computer with a functioning adb and sideload the zip of the rom you want to flash over.
teamw.in /ADBSideload (that's a URL, I can't put them in posts yet, too new)
I have saved a phone in a similar situation this exact way.
Hope this helps.
I do still have twrp...I'm gonna try to download Scotts rom and put it on sd card and hopefully twrp will see the zip

[Q] Nandroid MD5 Error.

Hey all, I'll break into the thread xP
So simply ANY nandroid backup I count on does not seem to satisfy me
I've been fooled by my device like 3 or 4 times and lost a lot of pretty customizations that were on it
My problem is that I can't seem to take a working backup.. I always have the MD5 checksum error and stuff
I tried 2 kernels so far and the last one was Apollo which I BELIEVE is tested and is working for a lot of users.
Could it be because I move the backup to my PC until needed?? Should it be on the SD card all the time? :/
Try backup to internal sd card. There may be a problem wth your sd card?

I backed up to internal in the first place
Hmm.. Try philz recovery if you are cwm, or vice versa then? Is there a problem when you are recording videos and such?
Edit: HD videos
I have had those aswell, i found a guide(workaround, whatever) on youtube. Just open your cwm backup folder and look for the nandroid.md5 file. Open it with an editor and delete all and leave it empty. This way it wont check the md5 sum and just restore. However if your backup is damaged it might not work or cause troubles. You can also use nandroid restore app from play to restore data and apps. Good luck.

The advice I was given at a very early stage in my android modifying was to zip the backup prior to moving it to a PC........ then when it was going to be used, move the zip back 'in phone' and use the phone to unzip it.....apparently this minimises the risk of corruption......
Whether this is true or not, I haven't investigated, but it *sounds* reasonable.......

I had the same problem, solution for me was to rename the entire backup, don't know why ....
But it's important that the new name doesn't has space or strange signs inside ...
You could use: mybackup
As example
