Hello,
My Galaxy S has firmware FROYO 2.2.1 (2011.1)
Trouble is that whenever i reboot all my settings, like wheater addon, time 24 hour
are gone.
Anyone withe an idee how that is possible?
Greetings
Ruud
I'm guessing a corrupt file system, back up data dbdata and cache in cwm, format those partitions in cwm and restore the backup. I guess that should do the trick.
If not do a titanium backup of your apps and factory reset/format the partitions again, then boot up the phone and restore your backup.
Hope that helps, good luck

My best bud was complaining about how slow his stock SGS was so I decided to help as I've fixed about 20 phones now without any issues! Until now!
Problem
Lost Contacts which were stored to phone memory
Lost memos
Almost all programs are Force Closing
History
Installed clockwork recovery as per Cyanogen Wiki page (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide)
Then using the new SpeedMod kernel by Hardcore, I rooted the phone and also converted the file system to EXT4 to ensure the lagfix worked nicely
The Recovery automaticalled generated a Nandroid back-up before the file system conversion took place.
When phone started, a lot of programs Force Closed, so we ran a Fix Permissions and this solved most problems. However, a few days have passed and now the phone is constantly FC. The loss of contacts and memo's was annoying but he wasn't too bothered as had various back-ups
So I tried a Nandroid restore which works apart from system.img which it cannot find.
I wonder if the system.img backup doesn't work since the file system was changed to EXT4? Do you think if I push the nandroid backup using ADB, it will successfully restore the phone with contacts and memo's too?
That's why I never touch someone else's phone. Always something goes wrong that never gone on my phone.
Sounds like you need to do...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
...in clockworkmod to make a clean install.
If your friend didn't set up a syncronisation in "Accounts and sync" between google and the phone, AFAIK you cannot revert back contacts and memos
After turning the file system to EXT4, it removes backups.Because its not a nandroid backup. Just backing up your files before the partition formatting. So, no luck.
I'm not a android expert, so I might be wrong about it.
Hi
Have a i9001 s+ and i am using sky high kernel but it has errors such as random reboot so i want to move to Cranium RC9 But do i have to wipe all my data, non or just some. and if i do can i just restore them (apps, settings and i can just put my sdcard files on my pc) from a FeaMod Back up ??
Thanks
p.s. can i just back up all my apps to my pc????
No.....just wipe dalvik cache.....................................
no you don't need wipe data (neither wipe Dalvik, I used to do it without it on my SGS I9000.)
To backup your apps you can use Titanium backup. Its created a file with all your apps backed and you can restore all of them just by installing titanium backup an running the restore task. (on my SGS I9000, I suppose it's the same on your phone)
Thanks so can i just go ahead and install it and it will be fine and not wipe and apps or data (should i back up incase)
is there a reson pepol say to whipe cashes or is it a precauton ( what will this actuly do)
thanks
oh
just wipe the partion cache
I downloaded the HydracoreNirvana kernel and installed it through CWM.
Later I thought of installing the Ultimate N7000 XXLSZ JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.2 ROM but I read somewhere that the HydraCoreNirvana kernel was not supported so I download SpeedMod K5-1 and flashed it through odin. The phone Rebooted but it didn't restart. It only showed the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen and won't turn on.
I managed to boot into recovery and install the SpeedMod kernel and then, as stated in the ROM's OP, I flashed it checking every step as I took.
ROM was installed successfully but after the Language selection screen it shows "Samsung SetupWizard has stopped". I tried reflashing the ROM but its still the same error.
How do I get past this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
boot into recovery... mounts and storage> format - system, data, cache and preload and install the rom again

Okayy. That worked. Thanks a lot!
But the phone is lagging a lot now. Its even worse than before (And I haven't even installed any apps myself yet!). Any way to correct that problem?
install Titanium Backup and remove some of the apps that you dont use.. clear some space and it should become smooth.. also as you have just installed the rom, wait for media scanner to finish... give it a couple of hours
Okay.. One last question, I backed up my Messages and Call Logs through Titanium Backup to an .xml file but now when I want to restore it it doesn't give me the option to select from card/phone. It only shows "DB text editor" and "Dropbox". How do I fix this?
check if your internal and ext SD is detected properly. also check in TB preferences for the location of the backup folder
Yes, the Ext. card and the SD card are detected properly. I copied the backed up .xml files to the existing back up folder for TB but it still doesn't give me the option to restore from the card.
did you try going to preferences>backup folder location> detect
It says "No backup location was found" even though I've set a backup location!
may be try reinstalling TB
Hi everyone!
After a year or so of using cm7.2 on the i9000 i'm now facing a reproducible boot loop:
As it occured the first time, i made a nandroid backup via cwm, did a factory reset and reinstalled cm7, which resolved the bootloop. As i restored the data from the nandroid backup, the bootloop occured again and kept doing so when i tried the whole procedure again.
Is there any way to get the data (SMS/Contacts/Apps etc.) back without the bootloop?
Every suggestion is highly appreciated, thanks in advance!
According to Google, SMSs are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db, and contacts are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/contacts.db (but they should be synced to your online Google account). Apps are stored all over /data/data I think.
i have accessed the backup via yaffey and found it, thanks.
the following might be a stupid question, but: how can i insert the exported files into the fresh flashed cm7?
Titanium Backup only let me restore the system files, but nothing from data/data :/
You could try to overwrite it (after backing up the current files) but I don't really know. I suspect these are simple Sqlite databasefiles.
I flashed the rom normally and after that i restored the /data folder using a nandroid backup.
After i did that everytime i boot up the phone it keeps cleaning the Dalvik Cache automatically of all user apps.
When i uninstall all apps it's still there, but when i clear data it's gone -.-
Any solutions on how i fix this? As long as i don't need to use adb it's fine.

Do factory reset, make nandroid restore - full. Use Titanium Backup to backup your user Data. Do factory reset, install new ROM, restore Titanium Backup, just user data, avoid system.
