I would like to know if by changing my phone's rom and kernel i'll lose any data or the root or unlocked bootloader.
Not in the right section next time try to post your questions in the genera section tanks , and you will lose all the data but the bootloader will remain unlocked no matter what you do till you relock it using one of the possible ways to do that

Sorry, i thought it was the right place.
By all the data you mean all data in phone memory, right? And what about apps that are installed but was moved to SD card? They still have some files on phone? Will lose those too? Like gameloft games.
Thanks for answering
Close please they never learn

You could just post an answer and then the thread would die instead of posting crap.
That's not the way to get answers or help. Be respectful.
Search and read - all the answers are there.
I'm sorry, but i've seen people post questiosn here and i didn't know that it was the wrong place. But since i just can't move or delete this thread i appreciate if i could get my answer here.
Do you guys think it's better create another thread in general and wait for an admin to shut this one down?
Just want to know a way to change the rom and kernel without losing any data.
right use titanium to save data all apps not system data unless you plan on a stock rom or a nandroid back up in advanced you can restore data or system or cashe
please pm me if you want more info
rename this thread please close: for mods to see
Thread closed now. Please OP have a look to XDA rules before post again. Thanks all.

Hey guys and gals, I was thinking about using the 3DRoot-5 temporary root script , so I can restore all my apps from my old SD card with Titanium Backup. Can anyone please share their experiences in detail?
Thanks.

In the Developement section there are multiple guides to getting Titanium Backup to work. I'd check them out and see what you think will work best for you. Probably shouldn't have started a whole new thread for this, but good luck getting it working.
Thanks.
I started a thread for my question, due to being banned for a day, posting a non thread related question/comment.... So i figuered a question here would be safe.

Haha....nothing's safe around here LOL....and I wasn't trying to be a d*ck either. Just saying everyone seems to have a different experience with different methods. You just need to find one you're comfortable trying and give it a go. Plenty of info is available, read, and make sure you understand what you're doing before you do it.
Yeah, I feel you.
I did find a script in that area with the busybox, SU, etc all in one. Thanks for the directional opinion
Here ya go!

But also, if this is just for putting apps from your old SD card on your phone...can't you just throw on your old card and transfer apps to your internal memory? Or copy the apps onto your computer and then into your current SD card?
Good luck
Dude, if I could xfr my apps to my pc I would be straight!! And, then load them back to my 3D?? That would be sweet.
Edit..wrong quote..lol

Man, the moderator banned me for giving me a compliment to a guy who accomplished a temporary root method.. next thing I know BAM. Banned. But its like whatever..............just clear your cookies, etc, and the XDA site will let you back in as a viewer. I just couldn't post. No biggie.
Hey guys, as is the question above. Trying to restore some apps but titanium pro keeps saying the phone isnt rooted, any ideas?

Hi guys,
I need to install and run Triangle Away but have one problem. As I have deleted the EFS partition on my phone, I can not get wifi or radio to work which is stopping triangle away from downloading and installing the add-on that it requires when you run it the first time. Does anybody know how I might be able to get this working. Can I download this addon from my laptop and then copy to phone ? USB is working, just not wifi or radio.
Thanks for any help.
download and install perseus kernel (probably others also) and it shouldn't ask you for addon (at least it didn't on mine).. that is if you have ICS.

whoops sorry. i did read the rules but missed that part. cheers.
You deleted the EFS? I'd be worrying much more about that than resetting the binary flash counter... you essentially have a $800 MP3 player right now. Either way I think what you are asking for is the flash kernel, I might be able to get that for you in the morning.

If you have deleted efs folder,
install a stock official rom via odin.
It will re create your efs folder.
You will have every thing but imei
however you need to bother this if you want to send it for warranty repair. Otherwise you can send it as it is for paid repair.

hey thanks. Yeah. I am starting to come to terms with the fact that I have an expensive mp3 player. Anything you might be able to do to fix this would be very much appreciated.
Cheers.

Also wanted to mention that I did not intentionally delete the EFS. This occured somewhere between install Omega JB (including Siyah Kernel post Omega install) and then down grading to Omega ICS. I do recall seeing the sdcard partition name change from sdcard0 and back to sdcard from JB to ICS though nobody has commented on whether this was any reason to be concerned.
Hi...were you able to.recover your imei? How?
Im having the same problem due to.efs folder.
Thanks
Why choose to resurrect this long dead thread? Search for the hundreds of identical efs folder threads and you will quickly learn that there is no way to recover the efs unless you made a backup. Take it to a repair centre and have them recode it for you, make sure it works on 4.3 before you pay.
Please dont be mad, im a noob. Link the easiest way to install custom rom on this device. I bought this phone in Norway so i guess its the international version. Are there supernexus 4.2.2 for this phone? Can I get EVERYTHING back to stock if something failes and I have to send it in to repair? What happened with my s2 was that powerbutton failed so I could not flash any other kernel or rom. I suck at rooting etc on android, because I think when I was jailbreaking my iphone back in the 3gs days, you could always get it to factory settings with plugging it to pc and do restore. Can I do this to this phone with a toolbox or something? Please post here I have to go now, will check this thread later.
Understanding everything and browsing this site is very hard to me, please understand. I have apex launcher so it looks like stock jellybean but its not so smooth as I want it to, so I think i have to install a custom rom. It must be stable and easy!
I'd love to help but you need to learn the forum rules before you start posting topics. Why don't you check out a few of the sticky threads first and you'll probably learn some new things about when and where to post these questions and heck you might even get many of your questions answered haha.
right first thing to do is read up on these forums on rooting then once you have completed that read again The golden rule to remember is NEVER wipe your DATA from recovery! other than that you should be safe :victory:
use this recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995002 which as support for sideloading should you get into trouble.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand why you guys that are here and have full control can't link me a thread or something where this is discussed, and then I can post questions there. This place is so advanced so it's hard for us noobs to come in to the scene. I'm good to follow step by step guides and thats it Before I have followed guides on youtube because noone here could give me an answer, but I want to learn a little on how to probably do this because I'm scared to **** up my phone so I cant get it to stock again. I dont care if a rom fails or something, but i always want to come back to stock if you know!
There are guides in the development section of this forum. I suggest you look there as this is a self help forum.

Thanks, will check into it What roms are you all using?
edit: oh and please someone answer me this. If im gonna root-kernel-rom, what is the best way to backup so I can get back to the OS and kernel I have? I dont care about photos apps and sms, just want to go back to software if it fails.
is firmware the same as kernel?
Something is missing in your formula root-(Flash Recovery)-kernel-rom. And in the new Recovery you can do a backup and only there. You can go either for TWRP or CWM recovery.
And if future, if you say "Thanks", better hit a Thanks button under post than write it your reply
Good tutorial about flashing from A to Z

Threads stickied near top of Q&A, and guides/tutorials stickied near the top of General. Read them. It lessens the chance of you breaking your phone.
Edit - Also, absolutely no need for another thread. Your OP is an exact duplicate of last post in your other thread.

You can try by installing an app like Titanium Backup on Google Play. It will ask you for ROOT permission. If it asks you ur good to go, if not flash a different kernel.
Mod Edit
Duplicate thread.
