Having forced my phone to take JPY from Keis, using the registry hack, occasionally after turning off my phone, on the next restart, the phone vibrates at various points, with warnings that several different apps have had problems and have to close, and after this some apps just wont run when started manually either. If I remove the apps and reinstall, I still get the same problem. The only way I can get back to normality is to go into recovery and restore to factory settings and start my install again. Does anyone know why this is happening? My phone is rooted. I have tried fix permissions from Rom manager, but this has not helped.Its happened about 3 times now, Most times restarting has been fine.
I would like to try and install clock work mod so that I can at least backup, so if this happens again, I'm covered for the majority of the reinstall, but The Rom manager Clockwork recovery does not install on this rom ( so I believe, it does not appear anyway)
Does any one know if I am OK to install the Clockwork mod from here, that has been linked to in some of the custom rom threads, and if not, how can I get clockwork on my phone? If I do install clockwork, does this mean I can no longer install new roms with Keis?

I wasn't sure if to put this thread in the general section or development for a best response. Sorry If I have picked the wrong area, but thought it was people from the Dev section that would more understand what I need to do
Thanks
you have kinda almost the same problem as this guy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937938 (his reinstalling helped though)
yeah thanks, doesnt quite sound the same, I never got a black screen. Always boots, but reports various apps have problems and closes them down.
Well still I do think something is not right with the either JPY or the HW. Cuz it started few days/weeks ago. I was for 2 months a happy user. Then it was sudden with those FC... Factory Reset etc
Something about a conspiracy theory:
I kinda suspect that there was either a google apps update or samsung one, the kind that you dont see , like when it updates the market. And it messed something up .

I have a Galaxy S which i rooted and installed a lagfix on. I think it was Ryans OCLF i used for the lagfix.
I want to update to the official Froyo available from T-mobile via kies but having lots of problems getting it to connect (as everyone does). I have backed up contacts etc. I havent bothered backing up apps as i just wrote down the settings i have in each one and will just reinstall them after the upgrade.
What im planning on doing was completely resetting the phone back to factory settings and wiping it altogether so i have a clean phone to do the upgrade.
The problems im expecting or want to know how to avoid is with the root and lagfix i have installed. Will doing a factory reset or other reset (hopefully somebody can tell me another way of resetting) get rid of the root and lagfix or do i need to do something manually before wiping the phone? I know of something about the lagfix creating partitions etc so would a factory reset cancel the lagfix or would it cause all sorts of problems?
How do i go about removing the lagfix and resetting to the standard software that came with the phone? Also i have apps that require root so if i unroot the phone will this cause problems when they try to start or will they just not work and not be an issue?
Im not running any custom roms just the original one that came on the phone.
Sorry for all the questions and a rather long first post but im hoping to do this soon as the phone is running like a bag of smelly brown stuff lol.
Disable the lagfix first and then wipe. Root will not go away but I dont think that would be problem.PS. If I would be you I would just use odin to upgrade, there is plenty of good guides including how to use odin
Undo lagfix before any firmware upgrade .Then factory reset then go to Kies .
Remove lagfix as per the instructions with whatever lagfix you used .
Unroot not a problem its only a user administrative rights fix giving you greater access .
Personally i undo anything i can before an upgrade .
jje
Yes i would definitely undo everything before upgrading its just a question of how i do it.
I used Ryans OneClickLagFix app that was on the market at the time but now it has been altered because it allowed you to root and google didnt like this. I still have the original version i downloaded on the phone so is it just a case of clicking on "remove lagfix" and that will sort it?
Also if the root remains on the phone after i have wiped it, will this cause any problems when i put froyo on it? Is there not a different method or file for rooting froyo to the one i have used on 2.1?
on "remove lagfix" and that will sort it?
Correct .
jje
Also click Remove Ext2 Tools, and the go into the Scheduler changer and return it to CFG and uncheck the tweak buttons, if you messed with any of that.
In which order should i do all of those?
Should i remove the ext2 tools and return cfg settings etc to default before i remove the lagfix or after?
So just a quick update.
Something went totally wrong the other night on its own. This is before i had even thought of upgrading that night. Was sitting on facebook happily playing away when it started force closing within a few seconds of opening. Tried to open the market to reinstall the facebook app and the market force closed in a few seconds. It did this with every app including the email and phone etc. Even the RyansOCLF would forceclose so i couldnt remove the lagfix or unroot etc. All my settings for apps and launcher pro settings had disappeared. Only a couple of icons i had set on the home screen of launcher pro remained but i couldnt use any of them. All my phone logs were there and so were my texts etc but everything else had reset. When i tried to reapply some of my settings and then restart the phone, when i had finished the restart the settings i had reapplyed had defaulted again. Disaster!!
The only thing i could do was run a factory reset from the options menu. I crossed my fingers hoping this wouldnt brick the phone and alas it worked perfectly. Sorted out kies and connected the phone and installed 2.2.1 android. The lagfix had been cleared by the factory reset. I keep wondering if this is why i had so many problems with it taking ages to start up before. Maybe because the lagfix never really worked properly it never fully rebuilt the file system so was removed easily? Although the benchmarks were coming up double the speed of the fastest device on the results so not too sure how it was performing so fast with a duff lagfix...who knows. Anyway got it all up and running and rooted and lagfixed using the voodoo fix. Stuck launcher pro on setup everything. Got the apps i previously purchased reinstalled and restored any apps i wanted from titanium backup. Works like a dream and alot better memory usage aswell.
Thanks for all the help guys but it seems although i didnt follow any of the instructions you all posted (not out of choice...just because the phone physically wouldnt let me) it seemed to get the upgrade done without any problems.
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
Phone: HTC Hero, CDMA
Carrier: Sprint
While others have reported of this problem, the solutions that worked for them dont work for me. Im really stuck.
I know, its an old and slow phone, but I was hoping to go to CM7 to get better performance out of it. Well, I must have done something wrong in the process. My current android version is 2.1-update1. I used z4root to root it and used the clockworkmod ROM manager to install a recent nightly after backing-up my current ROM. Installing the nightly failed, something to do with the zip, but my phone had already been wiped and rebooted in default factory mode. I tried doing the install again with the same nightly and a more recent one, but it kept failing due to a problem with the zips. After one of the reboots, the OS just wouldnt load; seems to be looping on the 'HTC quietly brilliant' screen. I am able to boot in recovery mode, but cant figure out how to get past this looping issue.
Ive tried booting using the back-up I created with no luck. Ive even tried going through the RUU process (cant post a link cause Im a new member here), which results in an error message stating that theres an incorrect bootloader.
I did figure out that I was trying to install CM7 using the wrong zip; had the GSM version. Ive tried installing CM7 with the correct zip, but, after reboot, it loops at the animation with the android on the skateboard and the blue arrow around it. Not sure what it means that the two different OSs loop at, what looks like, the same points.
I probably did something wrong, but Im hoping somebody with a better understanding of all thats involved can let me know if there is any way for me to fix this. Thanks in advance for the help.

I *think* your error, in general, was using a bunch of "easy" one click methods and not properly learning (READING) about what the proper steps are. Here is my advice (assuming you are still rooted) -
1.boot into recovery (power off phone, hold home button, press power)
2.wipe data/factory reset
3.mounts/storage - wipe system and boot
4.restore nand backup OR flash ROM/gapps (from the same thread)
5.reboot, and be patient, bootup could take 5-10 minutes.
Good Luck.
You are the man (or woman)! I believe the formatting of system and boot is what did it. Really appreciate the help.

It is important, as Il Duce said, that you definitely do a good amount of reading when you want to get involved in rooting your phone. You are opening yourself up to some great innovation and fun, but you can also cause yourself a lot of headaches.
Recovery is your friend. If you can get into that, at least you know things are ok. I like to wipe (or format) system, data, cache, and boot 3x just to make sure that clockwork recovery cleaned everything and there are no dingleberries from the last rom I was using.
Flashing the correct type of rom is even more important. Don't flash a gsm rom to a cdma phone and NEVER flash a gsm radio to a cdma phone. Once you delve into the reading aspect of XDA, you will see that is the sure way to brick your phone.
Some roms take longer than others to boot up. Let it run its course. Sometimes it will reboot right after installing. At some point, you might want to make a nandroid of the new rom you are running and go back to your stock (2.1 update 1) and update your PRL, baseband, etc. (if you haven't done an update in a while).
Have fun, that is the most important part and we seem to have a lot of it here in HeroC XDA land.
You know, I put in a fair share of reading about how to update the ROM on my phone and I was under the impression that it would be fairly simple. I figured that since this has been done for quite a while and all these tools have been developed, I wouldnt need to know what happens on the back end during a root or ROM install.
But I did get myself into a bind that I wasnt able to figure out on my own. And with the help of this forum, I was able to get past my problem. Im glad to say I now have a phone that is functioning very smoothly with CM7 and the apps I need.
Next step for me is figuring out how to save my apps to the SD card so that I can install from there if/when I update my ROM in the future.
Thanks again for the help!
Get titanium backup FTW.
BANG! from my shooter...
i used this shipped rom when i got my n1 6 months ago,
Passion_Google_WWE_2.16.1700.1_FRG33_MFG_Shipment_ROM.zip
i received all the updates, it was working fine.
the other day, i decided to use the same passimg.zip file,
when phone read the sd card, i accidently selected recovery, it started to do recovery process, middle off the process i freaked out because that was not i wanted to do so i turned off the phone and install passimg.zip
i install all the programs i use and received all the updates,
now n1 sound level goes very low even it shows sound level is max,
its impossible to hear when it rings or playing music.
when i turn off and on the phone i get the sound back, after some time sound level goes very very low even sound level in max. so i turn off and on again and i get sond back,
i dont have any problem during calls i can hear,
right now
version 2.3.6
build number GRK39F
how can i fix this?
This used to happen to me on cm7 I did a full wipe and reflashed the ROM and it fixed the problem so I would suggest you reflash the passimg file.
i downloaded same passimg file and installed it to my nexus one, same proprem continuous.
when i turn off and on, everthing normal.
any ideas?

"full wipe" means, using passimg file and install it again?
Full wipe means to do a factory reset, usually from recovery.
i figured it out. i dont know why but the problem was a program called voipraider,
i uninstalled it, problem solved, thanks for your replies...
Ok well I'm glad you got it resolved
I have this same problem. I don't have the app mentioned above installed, so I'm hoping someone can chime in with another app that may cause this issue? I've done a full factory reset, reinstalled everything (MIUI rom.) Rebooting the phone doesn't always fix the problem.. sometimes rebooting a few times will bring the sound back to normal, yet randomly all sound on the phone is barely audible at max settings. If a normal reboot doesn't work, normally wiping dalvik will fix it. Would this mean the problem lies in one of my apps somewhere? Any advice?
Are you using DarkTremor's a2sd? If so, it is a well-known problem. And wiping dalvik or just the regular cache will reset it. Due to this reason (and a few other minor ones), I switched to S2E for my app2sdext purposes, but I am not sure how well it works with MIUI (it was designed to work with CM7).
@bassmadrigal
Thanks. As I think about it, DTs a2sd is the only common thing I had in my testing. Even switching between ROMs, I kept flashing DT. Since I always have issues with MIUI's stock A2SD (based of DT).. I went back to CM7. I looked into S2E and will take that route.
I hope this fixes it.. the sound was frustrating when my alarm is going off in the AM and it's not making a peep. I'll post back in a few days in hopes that it's ceased to be a problem.
Thanks again for hopefully solving my major nuisance.
Firstly, Hello i'm new o/
Listened to the noob video (wow) and couldn't find a similar thread after about 45mins so i'm gonna try my luck, sorry if a similar one exists but i really can't find one :I
Phone: GT-N7000
Rooted about 7-8 months ago with a ICS rom called Franco Kernal or something along those lines.
I just tried changing a "theme" through Rom Toolbox Pro, The "theme" was actually a background change for the pull down status bar at the top, it asked me to backup my theme settings in-case of any problems which i did, as soon as i clicked install i got about 10 different pop-ups saying X.program stopped working, these where usually things like "feb has stopped working" and something in German, and another in what looked to be some sort of middle eastern text.
The phone then froze for about 10mins, so i restarted it, but it just played the samsung boot gif and stopped there, so i restarted a few more times, then tried restoring a backup i made on 8th Feb, but the backup said it was "mismatched"?
So i then tried a factory reset, and again it just plays the boot gif and freezes there.
I do have Odin installed, and i did install clockwork mod recovery, but when i navigate through the root menu's to clockwork's folder i can't find a recovery (i'm not 100% that i made a correct backup with it, i know i made one with something called Titanium Backup about 5mins before i all this happened though, i'm not sure if that backup is still there because of the reset, or if it still exists on the SD card or something).
I haven't a clue what to do. I can't quite remember how i rooted the phone to begin with, i think i'm right in thinking i just installed Odin on my laptop/phone and used that to do it? If so, would rooting the phone again with another kernal fix it? I hope so cos i don't have the money for a new phone at the minute lol
Many thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if i'm repeating another thread, also sorry for being a noob and doing this in the first place

The good things you already have Titanium backup, and the backup is stored in SD card, second is you have custom kernel but I'm not sure if it is a save kernel...First read about "Emmc Brickbug on ICS"...If you now how to flash with PC Odin, you problem will solve easier..
