my phone froze at g1 screen and i rebooted it. so when i came back on the regular lock screen is gone too and the android market app is gone! what do i do to get them back
please people. help me!
without more information theres nothing we can do for you. what rom are you using? what did you do right before the crash? where is the log? provide some information so we can help you.
otherwise, the best we're going to be able to do is tell you to wipe and reflash.
oh ok. its a cyanogen rom 4.2.15.1 i was putting a theme i got from cyanogen updater. and it froze half way. idk wat 2 do cuz im a noobie at this.
1. make sure the theme is compatable with the version you're using. just because it says it's compatable with 4.2.x doesnt mean its current.
2. wipe, reflash CM, nandroid backup, flash theme. if it doesnt work, nandroid restore.
If that doesn't work then flash the CM rom again and let it boot.
Then try a different theme.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
If you like it, SAVE IT!

Hi sorry this may sound dumb
I rooted my Nexus One running 2.2.1 using super one click root...I flashed recovery image using ROM manager..did a nandroid backup..Went on to recovery and flashed CyanogenMod 6.1.1....I found no Google Apps in it...Then i tried coming back to the stock rom by doing a nandroid restore but it fails telling md5 check failed..I already had a backup image of my phone with android 2.2 and was able to restore it....My question is
1)How do i install Google Apps on Cyanogen and get all my contacts back and
2)How do i make a proper backup so that wen i try restoring my stock it does not show the same error......
Now my phone is running android 2.2.1 with stock rom
Kindly help me pls......
Derp download google apps and flash on top of CM6.1? It's not so hard. There's even a download link somewhere in the CM thread's first post.
Can i get the link for it pls..........??

Maybe get a better SD card? Your Nandroid shouldn't have been corrupted. Just try doing another one and see if it works. You could just be very unlucky, why haven't you tried making another nandroid and testing? That seems like the only logical next step, see if the problem repeats.
Yes. I finally rooted my phone.
After 6 months of use.
Anyway, I used the "Super-One-Click" method to root. Got SuperUser permission and all that. Which, apparently, signifies that I have root access now. amirite?
k
Now. I downloaded a rom/theme I want applied to my phone. Called "Minimal Magic."
It's like sleek and simplistic. Black and white. Which is what I want for the Launcher that I'm using. (Launcher7)
So after a little research on my own.
I know that I need:
-a version of CyanogenMod.
-to back up current ROM stuff.
-reboot in recovery? to flash the rom.
Rooting wasn't hard and I didn't feel like I would brick it or lose any data/files.
But seeing the process of flashing a rom AFTER rooting. Idk. It's making me a little iffy.
From my understanding. It's going to "wipe" the entire rom that I'm currently running on my Fascinate. [2.1-update]
And flash this CyanogenMod rom? (Was thinking about getting CM6)
So when it flashes and assuming everything goes well, it's gonna be like a factory reset, but with a different rom, which I can apply the .apk I downloaded earlier of Minimal Magic for CM. But my launcher or settings won't be loaded, so I'd have to go back in and re-add everything? Update all the settings again and get everything back to normal, just with a different theme.
Maybe someone can walk me through this?
You need a rom that has the theme chooser (cm7) which minimal magic os compatible with. I'm running the theme right now. Yes you have to wipe, factory reset & all & yes you need a recovery to do this. When I first rooted I used the free app from the market called rom manager & I flashed the recovery that rom manager has which is clockword. I used this to backup my current stock rooted rom then I flashed the first new rom I used then after wiping. True enough you're responsible for what happens to your phone but I can say as long as you don't do anything really weird or stupid you should be fine...now I still use that recovery & I'm running aospcmod on my hero cdma sooooo roms, the process & blah blah could be different for your phone ....I hope this helps some

So, contacts, sms, photo ID's. Stuff like that will be gone?
I wish I didn't have to re-apply all my settings.
Also, I saw a video of a guy flashing a new rom. All of his apps were gone, since..obviously it was like a factory reset. That means I'ma have to install allll the apps I downloaded before, again? D:

Yes, but you can use apps like Titanium Backup (its not free, but the best there is), to backup all your apps and restore them later.
It also backs up sms,etc. but it is not guaranteed that it can be restored on a totally different rom.
btw: Use edit for a more descriptive title please something with your device and maybe CM7 and minimal magic.
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
don't know if this is the correct section, or if i should have posted in the nand development, but i'll try here
i love my current rom, but wanna try something new. so i'm wondering if there's a possibility for me to make a complete backup of the rom (like a dump or so), which i can easily flash back.
magldr 1.13 ist installed, but no clockworkmod or something like that. i read that when flashing clockworkmod recovery your rom will be wiped, and i don't wanna lose my current setup.
i'm aware of titanium backup, but as far as i know it "just" backsup applications, settings, contact, etc., not the whole rom.
do you have any hints for me? that'll be great
thank you very much & have a nice day
ahh sorry friend..

I dont know if this is possible without Clockwork(Recovery)Mod Im sure somebody here may know something about possibly doing it but, they will probably tell a way where you'd need CWM installed, or you wont get an answer of how for sure to use something by the time you want to change, it's addicting lol
Hi.
so i want to back up my rom and try a new one. because so much stuff installed and tweeks i have already made i dont want to lose them all.
what is the possible way to backup everything. and then try a different rom, if i didnt like it i can go back to this rom like nothing happened ?
titanum backup only backup your applications as far as i know. not the whole rom with application
Rom Manager... i tried to do backup once before but it failed to find the rom when i went to the recovery. i dont know if i did something wrong back then. but any help would be thankful
Do a nandroid backup through recovery
Use ClockworkMod and do a Nandroid. Make sure it's the latest version, as one of the CWM versions wouldn't restore properly without reflashing the ROM over the top. Latest version works really well though.
