My N1 is rooted & use Cyan's ROM.
I was enable backup my setting to google server before and after root.
When I do factory reset (wipe data) and sign in with google account. No setting does not restore from google after I sign in by wifi during phone setup.
Is anything wrong with my setup?
How to make this work?
Thanks.
After few trial & error.
Restore work with stock ROM but not Cyan's ROM.
Is this expect behavior?

Yes, that's how it works. When you flash to a new ROM, it won't resync settings from a different ROM.
This is my first question; so apologies f I'm not clear.
I've been messing around a little with my phone. I have root, Amon_Ra's Recovery and I'm currently using MoDaCo's Enhanced ROM. Out of curiousity, I thought I'd try CyanogenMod and see what that was like.
So I wiped my Nexus, flashed Cyanogen and booted up. After linking to my Google Account, I noticed that none of my settings or apps from the cloud had been synced and nothing I did allowed me to access them. (I think I remember seeing that there is no automatic option for this, so that might have been the reason.)
Next, I tried MoDaCo's Froyo ROM for rooted phones, as I'm really curious about it. Same problem, nothing was synced.
Rather worried, I restored my phone to the Original Shipping image (keeping Amon_Ra's recovery) and not only did nothing sync, but starting any update would restart the phone, load up the Recovery and then fail to update with a verification error.
Rather irritated, I wiped and then flashed to MoDaCo's ROM. Lo and behold, all my apps and settings were restored from Google's Cloud.
I am so unbelievably confused, it's not funny. If I made a backup using Nandroid, would that restore my apps and settings when I changed to a new ROM? Or am I way off base here?
(I'm rather new at this, so apologies in advance.)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
The last cyan rom I used (5.0.6?) did not have cloud restoring of apps, I always thought this was a froyo feature/?
Nandroid does a complete backup of your system including apps, settings, rom etc... so technically yes it does restore your apps, just not from the cloud.
Thanks behelit, but I'm not interested in restoring the original ROM, just the Apps and settings should I change to a different ROM.
Anyone have an idea why I can't access cloud from Froyo or Original stock ROM? Maybe I'm doing something wrong...
Okay i have a sprint cdma hero i sm running 2.1 sense. I started out wanting froyo i knew i had to root so i did with universal androot and then got rom manager i didn't partition sd card because i thought it wasn't needed i still dont know if it is? but anyway after that i rooted the phone then went into rom manager, made a clockwork backup then I did what i was suposed to too root it then it was about to boot up and instead of froyo it was back to sense and had restored to factory. I repeated the same thing multiple times and tried different roms it still didn't work. After all this i restored my phone and its back to normal but google "can't establish sever connection" so mail, market, talk and all that does not work! I dont know what to do. I have tried hard reset, clearing data, cache, force stop, adding another account, signing out of talk and going back in and nothing has worked. and now in my notification bar it says sign in error! with my google name and then if i touch that it will bring me to a sign in screen, i enter the password but nothing works. I dont know what i should do help! by the way I live in america, internet works, phone calls work, sms works just not google apps, I have sprint to. And if there is any way you could help me root and run froyo the easitest way please help. I am kind of new at all this.
Thanks again- Luke
Did you make a nandroid backup? If so, restore the phone. I am pretty new to this too but maybe you can try to flash the google apps, you can find the zip on here with a search.
Did you do "wipe all data" before installing? You have to do that.
Make sure you also "nandroid" and make a backup in case you need to restore.
Ok put the cm6 rom on your sd and also google gaps .
make a nanidroid back up then wipe your phone then flash the rom then the google gaps. Then reboot
i did make a clockwork mod backup and restored my phone to that that is how it is the way know i will try and get google apps and reinstall them and if that works i will do the cm6 rom but where should i get it and do i need to partition sd card? thanks
OK I've done all my research on flashing my Captivate. I have rooted and installed Titanium Backup. I have also installed ODIN3 and ROM Manager.
Before I flash a new ROM, I have a few questions.
1)I have worked diligently to purchase apps I like and use often. Changing the ROM clears these and all I have done. How do I save this setup and where do I save it to? Can I flash back to my original with everything in tact?
2)Upon choosing a new ROM and installing it, can I go back into the market and re-download apps I have already purchased? ex:Beautiful Widgets.
Please understand I am trying this for the first time. PLEASE be specific!
Thanks Tomween1

Titanium Backup will take care of all that for you....
but yes, even if you dont use titanium backup, you can go into the market and your purchased items will be there.
apps that you purchase (pay money for) are bound to your google account. as long as you sign into the same google account after flashing a new rom or stock rom, you will be able to download all of those apps.
I have recently flashed the JVS firmware from samsung firmware, and then followed that up with this CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVS-v4.1-CWM3RFS, flashing via the PDA section in ODIN. My phone has been working perfectly for a few days, no problems at all, until right now when I've gone to restart the phone.. I was having troubles with the market, and I turned my phone off mid-download of an app.. I'm pretty sure it was mid-download and not mid-installation of it..
However, when I turn my phone back on, it'll show the Galaxy S I9000 screen, then go to the next screen with the glowing S, however after that, it just gives a quick, short vibration, and seems to turn off, then do it all over again..
What does this mean? Is there a way I can get out of it without re-flashing the entire firmware? I am still able to get into download mode, but I don't want to lose messages that I have saved on my phone..
Any help is greatly appreciated..

Ok, so I let the phone go for a while (around 10 minutes), of the screens cycling through as mentioned above, but now it seems to have actually found a way into the phone, and has now loaded up properly.. However, I'm still interested in what the problem could be on the phone??
are u using new market app?
its happened to me once and i reflashed whole firmware starting from 2.1 to 2.3.5 lol just to avoid sh*t like that
When I had 2.2 on there, I had the new market app, however after flashing 2.3.5, it had the old market, so I was downloading apps from the old market at the time..
What do you mean you re-flashed whole firmware from 2.1?
Anyone else have any ideas?
Try to wipe factory reset and wipe cache or try to flash rom again

Could be a corruption in the bootloader, if it happens again i would reflash. Otherwise just leave it i guess, maybe it was a one off
It happens pretty much all the time now.. I have reflashed the firmware a couple of times.. And it still seems to happen. What would wiping the cache remove? Will I lose any settings or anything that I have on the phone? I have been restoring backups made using titanium, however just apps and data, not system settings..
If it's the bootloader, is there any way of fixing that?
Thanks
Ah that could be the problem. Sometimes when you restore backup they can conflict and thus cause issues like this...
Try only return the data, that works for me. Get app list from the market and after a backup move to external sd. Format internal sd card. Then do an Odin flash with repartition checked. This is designed to get you back to factory state, so you will loose everything. Make sure your backups are not on your internal sd when you format. Also before you flash i think its a good idea to put a copy of your nandroid backup into the internal sd. Or just use a nandroid backup from when you phone was working fine.
Deleting cache does not delete your settings usually, however when deleting dalvick cache it can take up to 30 mins (max i think) to start you phone, but usually its 5/10 mins.
Yes bootloader can be fixed just find a flashable bootloader with a rom or the directions given. Use search for this
Ok thanks for the tips Talon.. Firstly, this nandroid backup that I keep hearing about.. What exactly is that? Is that the backup that I do through Clockwork Mod Recovery? I'm also unsure how to return just the data to apps? I had a look at Titanium Backup, and the only data recovery option is for system data.. Everything else I think I can handle..
Thanks
Yes nandroid backup is the backup through CWM. You should always do one BEFORE you flash anything on your phone. And keep them in a safe place and leave one in your internal sd card.
You should use titanium backup to backup up a single app at a time, not batch. This way you'll have more files and can choose which apps you want to return, and if you only want to return the data. (I have always done it this way, so i dont know if you can pick the apps you want to return if you do backup via batch.). Use the other app i suggested to keep the market links, so you download the app from market first then you install the data once its there.
I suggest you don't return any apps at first see how it goes, then add either a couple or one at a time, again only the app data. (Once you backuo the app individually, flash then, TB, backup/restore press on the app, restore, then pick data only...) If you go from froyo to GB i think you cant do it)
Thank you very much for your reply Talon. I am currently on JVS, and plan to re-flash this exact same firmware, which is the stock firmware, nothing custom..
As for what you've written, it's going to take me a few reads before I can get my head around it, but I just wanted to say thankyou for a quick and detailed reply. I think I might just bite the bullet and figure out which apps I actually use, and just work with them for now..
I'll post back soon hopefully with results.
After getting very frustrated with the phone, I've finally re-flashed back to a seemingly stock situation. Phone is running great, and all problems seem to be gone. Slowly re-downloading apps from the market as I feel that I need them, so I hopefully won't get any interference from the old backups I had..
One more question, how do you make your backups? If you say you don't use the batch mode in Titanium? I can't see any other way that's as easy..
Thanks for your help Talon.
As i said before, backup/restore click on the app you want to back up, and click backup. When you want to restore it, back to the menu, click on the app, click restore, then pick data only longer but safer
Change the location of TB to your exsd if you haven't already, then go to setting find, and it will make it default location
Ahk.. Sounds very time consuming.. lol..
Phone is running like a champ now . Thanks
