i am currently in the middle of a nandroid backup that has been going for about an hour should i pull the battery? i really dont want to corrupt my card because most of my music is on it and i just bought a new computer hard drive because my old one f*cked itself. Any suggestions?
Ive had the same problem. I dont think you need to pull the battery, I just press call (green) menu and end (red). Then delete the nandroid folder on your sd card and reboot into recovery and try backing up again.
i tried what you said, cause i had the same problem just now, and its still taking long. the only difference is the little dots a coming up a little faster. help?
help? anybody? im trying it a third time right now.. hopefully its works
should not take more than 2 minutes I have had this happen once pulled battery deleted nandroid file and started again and it worked.
ive tried everything and its just not working
Try reflashing the Recovery.
repair the ext files from recovery? lol.

Do either of these require any type of wipe? Or will I lose anything that I should backup first?

no they do not.
tried those things and it didnt work
i just found out that the reason the nandroid backup wasnt ending for me was because there wasnt enough space on my sdcard. I feel soo stupid now, thanks guys
how much space did you need?
I posted this herehttp://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=329
This has been happening for me for a few cyan updates now, and also on the HTC 1.6
image currently
the g1 was "charged", when i got home i took it off the charger and cranked up all
the bells and whistles. within 5 minutes the g1 goes black except for the keys for a
moment and then they go dead as well. no reboot. just goes dead. when i do reboot it
it sometimes wont go throught the whole reboot without shutting back down. does not
happen when it is on the charger. really hard to calibrate the battery when your g1
wont stay on without the charger and when it is it says its charged! i would post it
on the bug tracker, but i can't tell if it's my battery or the rom
and i'm running the death spl 8g card, cyan recovery and newest update, with only a
fat32 and no ext or swap
an update.. maybe check into the device staying awake. seems like with everything
running(gps, 3g, blutooth, etc) and with the phone sleeping, it doesn't crash, but if
the settings to never timeout the screen are active and you leave it on, it crashes
within a few minutes.
you should have an ext partition (the swap is recommended but not required). I only say you should get the EXT because the problem may come when all your apps are in the fat32 drive... it doesn't unmount correctly when you shut down or reboot your phone so your apps / partition sometimes get messed up... this MIGHT be why you get the black screen because it's corrupting the running processes (that are running from the fat32 (apps2SD)) when you reboot the phone(or mount the drive on the computer through usb) while they're being used.... repartition your card to include a EXT3 partition and reinstall the rom... let me know if that works. Post #69 hope this post helps, lol
i have had an ext2 ext3, swap, no swap, all with fresh partitions.

awww so i wasted post #69 lol... Did you keep the 1.6 HTC rom? or did you upgrade it to CM 4.2.3.1? Maybe it's the HTC rom that's the issue? install the 1.6 htc and move to cm 4.2.3.1 (you can go straight from htc1.6 to 4.2.3.1, just follow the instructions) and start with fresh fat/ext/swap partitions... i personally use 100mb for swap (just in case i try a rom that uses more than 32mb by default i don't have to repartition)
edit: sorry, just noticed you said it's been happening on a few CM builds already....
try this: make sure you have CM1.4 recovery, new radio and new spl... new partitions (fat/ext3/swap) install the HTC1.6 rom, as soon as it reboots into recovery install the 4.2.3.1CM update. reboot phone and boot everything up as normal....
If it doesn't work after 100% fresh install like that... then maybe it's just a phone issue?

thanks for your help, but I originally formatted and followed cyan's instructions for his newest legal rom. i had this problem still, and then tried to fresh install the stock 1.6 from htc, and still. i think it's an aosp thing. i have had everything running( 3g gps sync blutooth ) for a couple of hours while the phone has been asleep and i can wake it. but if i turn the screen on, its only a matter of minutes before a crash. it's all posted on the cyanmod code.google site http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=329
Is anyone running Advanced Task Manager, someone typed in market that it was doing he black screen of death so I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it was still acting weird so I unchecked "show Auto-End notification" and it seems to be working a lot better no black screen o death
i used to get the blackscreens. i dont get them anymore. turning off compatibility mode in spare parts helped. try that. untick and reboot.

it has nothing to do with the SPL. try the spare parts trick and see if that helps. even if it slows it down to once every 3-4 days would be an improvement.

wipe out your sdcard's ext partitions (not the fat32), and do a full wipe. reinstall the rom, get spare parts, untick compatibility mode, reboot, and then observe.

seriously, i installed the rom on a fresh wipe and format and i just installed spare parts and unchecked the box
lol dam ok..........what about your SD card could it be its going to crap out on you...
So I was running Cyanogen for about a month w/o wipe then wiped and tried the new King 2.1 AOSP v1.5 rom....
My market doesn't show downloads (tab), no paid apps, and it breaks when it tries to get to the permissions screen to download an app.
I wiped and reflashed to Cyanogen after flashing the HTC recovery and the problem remains....help me!
EDIT/UPDATE:
I've reformatted and repartitioned my whole sdcard...and have reflashed roms (yes, multiple different roms), and still the Market is broken!!!!
I NEED ASSISTANCE!!!
Did you wipe your ext/x ? You might have to repartion your card again. If you already wiped Everything.
Yup I've wiped everything....I might just repartition. Easiest way would be by using gParted in the console?
more than likely there are some things lingering from your cyanogen build. you should try wiping everything again (wiping data a 2nd time after wiping ext) and repair your ext, and flash again. also try fixing uid permissions located under "other" on amon-ra 1.5.2 recovery
I never used Gpart but from what I've read and seen it is the easiest way. I use Paragon Partition some ppl have issues using it but it has always worked for me.

I repartitioned and STILL broken Market!!! WTF!?!?!
I tried installing fasttest today and after that the market has been screwy. It takes for ever to load the permissions screen and after an app is done installing it still shows as Installing... in market.
I wiped everything and went back to superD and its the same.
I can't even get to the permission screen!
I just tried a different rom and still the same problem...I'm seriously getting pissed lol
I NEED apps!
I had a similar problem to twice.
The market needs looooong to connect but it works if I wait about a minute. But after I use it a while and several reboots it works fine for me. Sounds strange - but that was my soloution in both cases.
Just look if you got the same problem.
If not, maybe you should try to get a log so we can see the errors....
I checked and mine seems to have fixed itself..
Mine fixed itself after reboots... yay!!!
i have the same problem,mine is not working 9 days,so i have transfered to1mobile market.it has all market app,but itreface is retarded.if you manage to fix the problem PLEASE PM me.there is allot of mine friends that heve the same problem,and it is weird that market stopped working,at approximately same time,and on tottaly diferent devices,android versions,and some of phones are not rooted at all.if you manage to fix yours please send me pm link
Hi all,
this is my first post so first of all I want to say how amazing this community is !!
I've installed gingerDX v018 just following the xda instructions and all has gone smoothly.
Anyways, I'm posting 'cause sometimes my x8 reboots by itself, usually during the night (each time I heard the logo animation alert ). I guess the timing is not significant, but it happens quite every night.
Do you have any idea of what could it be?
There is some x8 log I could read from or may I use the terminal emulator app?
P.s. I didn't flash the kernel, so I'm still using the stock K. No overclocking apps (not yet).
Do a full wipe. The GingerDX thread says there's no need to do a full wipe after update, that must have confused you.
if what Chris95X8 said dosnt work then your stuck for a while until someone makes a -all-in-one sorta fix. i used to have this problem and after a while it rebooted itself and it got stuck in a bootloop so do the full wipe as soon as posible imo.
i did a full wipe and now its back to normal. no more auto reboots either now.
if that dosnt work then reinstall the rom.
I thought I did. I mean, after the installation I did a full wipe to avoid reboot looping I experienced during my first time installation.
My installation steps actions:
- installed v018 zip
- installed extra zip
- ran Factory Reset (full wipe) option
- ran Wipe cache partitionoption
- reboot phone
Did I miss any steps?

Thank you.
In the meanwhile this w/e I'll try to disinstall one app at a time, to see if there are some conflict. It has rebooted just 5 minute ago.
i read that u can try to use another memory card for awhile to check if the problem still happening.
i got the same problem too, and i tried using another memory card but it still happens. lastly, i sent it to the shop and the shop send it to the factory and it gonna take 3 weeks until i got my phone back..

ok, some answers show that it is either the rom or battery, they also suggest to have it sent off to have it looked at, see if anything is mucked up or something. sorry if it isnt much but its all i could find so far

Thank you wilbso, sending it off will be my very last resource. Anyway for now I've removed weather widget from the lockscreen and Homescreen, just to exclude any (?) refreshing data problems. Next step will be to install some task killer and so on.
I'll write if anything work it out!
Coverage
How's coverage in your area?
I had frequent reboots on low signal areas (very bad) and the phone tried to connect 3G to check e-mail. Anyway, after each reboot, I cleaned dalvik and cache, and then eventually it went away after moving from CM7 to GingerDX.
I think another possible problem is the ram cuz you said that you dont use task killers so the problem may be the low ram(every gb problem)if you confirm that this is the problem i sugest you should use advanced task killer form market
I don't think it's a ram problem, I suggest a full wipe an pay attention when you restore, do not restore system app or app data, the problem could be there...
crazy x8. Full wipe is the solution for prob in almost cases in x8 using custom roms. Wierd
@Chris_Castro:
2g signal looks stable, 3g poor, but at home I'm using wi-fi. But just to be sure I'll check the force 2G signal option, so we will see.
@X8invisible13:
I had the same idea yesterday, so I've installed Memory Booster - RAM Optimizer, here my ram data:
total memory: ~ 175MB
memory avaiable: ~26MB
and reading here and there they look to be average values. But one of the next tests will be to install the latest gingerDX rom, or some other cool roms and test each app at a time.
@evil_chris:
mmm, I'm quite the noob here, so I don't have any backup data or backup apps. I was playing around with HS/LS, sliders, icons when I experienced first problems, so had no time to deepen backup systems.
But I got what do you mean, so as I said, the next installation will be a naked one.
Last episode happened yesterday morning, I checked the locked screen, w/o unlocking it, and after 20 sec it rebooted. Just after I logged in it rebooted again
Anyways Thanks guys
I Cleaned Dalvik and cache, and removed the overclock and now looks good
Hi,
I have got my Gnote super bricked and I used pit file method to revive it but now these freezes are killing me. I have bought it 9 months ago from mediamarkt in Germany.
Do you think they will accept it now? I mean it is working but every several hours it freezes. What should I tell them about the problem?
I revived my note using the pit files but it isn't giving me problems as you say
I really have no idea where these freezes are coming from. I think sooner or later I should give it for warranty
have you tried already doing the 3 wipes on your phone in CWMR?
if you have tried it already and still getting the hangups on it.. my reasonable suggestion is.... just BORK it more. I mean what have you got to lose if Samsung can't boot your phone anymore right? No more explanations to them other than your phone got toasted when you tried to update via KIES....
end of discussion.

As long as the binary counter is set to 0 and there's no yellow triangle you should be able to take it to warranty. Of course unroot it first and leave no trace of any customization.
So I'd they ask you what's the problem with your note what shall you say?

You mean again I try to make it bricked? Just like the last time or with another method? Can they find out I did it deliberately?
The problem is now my internal sd is showing 9.33 GB and if they dig in more, they will find out what I have done to it.
Of course samsung is responsible for this matter cause it is they fault not mine.
Now my phone is unroot and has official LRQ on it.

Yeah sure why not... I mean it may seem ridiculous to advice you this but bricked it back until you can't turn it back on again. I know most other users before who have bricked their phone big time (can't boot up their phone anymore) and they've return it back to Sammy to have the mobo replace. No questions asked. If they try to ask you what you did.. just give them an innocent smuck and say.. "My phone's not turning ON after I tried to update it thru Kies. I dunno what's the problem with it." Give them a casual after stupid innocent look. Most likely they won't drill you anymore.

No, they're just going to replace your motherboard.
3 wipes is Wipe DATA, Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Dalvik... all of these are in CWMR (if your still able to boot in recovery).
hmm, on a lighter point, before you begin the steps above(if you would like to try though), try to format your external SD card and try to place it back again to your phone. See if you still have the hangups.. If you do have it still, then go with the 3 wipes I mentioned above.

Like I've said..skip the 3 wipes for now and just format first your SD card and see if the hangups wouldn't be there after.
If it's not there anymore then GOOD.. if it's still there, then you do the 3 wipes. I would assume your already using a safe kernel already right?

I did use hydracore kernel for a while but with that I had freeze more. Now I am in unroot condition with stock kernel. So I can not do the 3 wipes now.
I will try to remove my external sd card and see without that what is gonna be ...
sure, just post back later on your results.
I did all kinds of wipes and formats but again freeze don't know what to do
Well, it's apparent that your phone's boot partition has some bad sectors on it still. That's why everytime your phone reads those particular bad sectors.. it freezes itself up.
try to repartition your phone back to remove those bad sectors or you can try the link here http://www.alliance-rom.com/communi...-superbricked-stage-from-ics-kernel-bug.8018/ , as your reference to remove those bad sectors and scan for possible partition errors as well.

Mate best thing is return to gb stock with counter 0... ensure everything is stock... give the mobile to ur girlfriend and ask her to take it to sammy center...
Ull get the replacement for sure... tell them updating from kies did this...
Why GB? If it would be ICS it has problem? I mean I want to tell them that I was on LRK and I updated it to LRQ via Kies and then my phone got bricked. Do you think it is ok? GF idea is perfect
