Okay so I rooted my phone and i removed some apps that were safe to remove using titanium backup pro. I then was having some problems with my phone where it would just start hitting the space bar until i hit another button, same thing with back space. So I factory restored it because I read somewhere that if you factory restore it'll still stay rooted.
So now that I factory restored it and wiped the cache. I am stuck trying to move past the add your accounts. If i click next I get to the part where my gps is. but then I get the problem of click 1 of the 3 for your gps. I then get a force close for my account.
I made a back up of everything using titanium back up. but I can't do anything.... Please help me
Was your phone plugged in? Idk if this is something others experience but if my phone is on usb debug and plugged in everything acts stupid and I end up having the same type of issues you started with. They disappear once it's unpluggged, tho. Sorry I can't help as far as restoring **** goes but I'm sure someone else may have some advice for that, I'm still not sure how to restore anything myself if stuff goes wrong.
Nevermind i got this taken care of. =]
I restarted again deleted everything again by wiping it. then I logged in and waited for my old launcher pro to download. I went to the market after they downloaded by dragging down and clicking home. I ended up clicking launcher pro instead. I then was able to just restore bloatware and then remove it after everything was okay

Okay I first installed the latest stable version of CM5 on my Dream, and it loaded up fine, then I used my Backup Pro program to reinstall my programs then it kept saying that super permissions has stopped working and to end the program, and after it was done reinstalling my apps it said there was an error in all of them. So I rebooted my phone, and after the boot screen shows up I enter my 4 digit code and android shows up then it says messaging has stopped working end now, and I clicked it, and now it keeps going back to the boot screen over and over and over, how do I fix this?
Also it said something about the core not being responsive, and the gapps I installed was not working, and I really need my phone to work again, what did I do wrong?
EDIT - I wiped and reinstalled, I'll post back and see if it's fixed.
EDIT 2 - Well it didn't have any of those error messages, and I started to reinstall all my apps using my backup pro app then all of a sudden it froze for an hour and so I just took out the battery because my phone wasn't responsive at all. Then I tried turning it on and it just froze a the G1 symbol. So I wiped everything and reinstalled again, and now it's booting up again so I'll post back to see if it's working.
EDIT 3 - I was using my backup pro app again and it got to about half way before the super permissions kept force closng and then the android process kept closing over and over, so I'm rebooting my phone.
EDIT 4 - It keeps saying that home and android keep force closing, so I'm not sure how I'm going to get my apps back, I'm going to wipe and reinstall again.
Have you tried using something better than MyBackup Pro? If I ever meet the creator, I'm going to slap them and get my five dollars back. Then I probably kick their dog for even creating something that crappy.

What do you suggest then?
Okay I am sick and tired of this rom. It was working fine then I tried using some of my widgets and it would say they were not working, then acore kept closing and now none of my apps work, so I rebooted and it's stuck at the G1 screen, what the heck do I do now? So now my phone won't even boot into CM.
EDIT - Well I'm flashing Super E and hope that it's better.
hey guys, I don't know what's going on with my S7 but yesterday was working fine and out of nowhere everything started to FC! From twitter to "Google Services Framwork", Gmail, browser, tweetdeck, calendar, voice, I can't pretty much use it anymore, I haven't done any new app installations so i don't know what's wrong! is it just me, or anyone else having this problem??
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
That has happened to me 4 or 5 times. It's like half of the device gets erased but the apps are there. Everything force closes. I end up having to erase the device and re-install everything. Reboot into recovery if you can't figure it out and format the system and data. For some reason when i do that, i keep root. Not entirely sure how that happens, but one less step for me. I think root is power and one of the volume buttons.

ha! i remember I already did that. After the Update we had, and I exchanged mine for a new one I decided to stay with no root (i don't know why! lol) so I guess I'll reset everything and go back to root I figured at the end I was gonna do that, but I was trying to see if it was just me or there was a fix
thanks man!
ok, so since yesterday I've been trying to factory reset the DS, and when it boots back on, everything stays the same!
I'm a little confused now, if I take a picture and I turn the tablet off, when I turn it back on, the picture disappears. Same thing happens if I move widgets, delete or create new ones on the screen, they go back to as the configuration was on friday night! GV not working, and the last message that shows there, same thing, shows the last one on friday. I don't know what can I do.... should I call dell??
duck tape and dynomite
stupid thing started crashing yesterday FC this and FC that ....cant restore it as i no longer have write access to the internal sd card
1) tried nv flash
2) tried restoring from clockwork
3) tried pushing files through adb
4) tried fastboot ....
if i didnt just dump money into this thing id blow it up ......
any help would be appreciated.......any tips to fix it or kill it completely so i can get another one
actually deleted all of the files on internal sd card and uninstalled every program on the device looked completly stock ....rebooted it and it went back to how it was yesterday ......theres gotta be a reason why other are having the same problem that started on the same day .....maybe dell pushed an OTA update and screwed us ......just a thought cause mine was fine till i went 4g yesterday so my sis could post facebook pics ....not sure but hope we can figure this out
Samething happened to me
Hi, did you ever find a solution? my streak 7 was ran out of battery, before it shut off, the screen started flickering and then it turned off. after it came back on, it looked like it was fine, everything looked normal, but then everything started force closing, haven't found a solution

I'm running stock, and I discovered the hard way that you can't let the S7 battery run all the way down. The S7 will not power itself down in time. I had the same issue, and the only way around it was to do a complete factory reset, using the menu button from the main screen. I think the reset is in the "About" section, but I don't have my S7 with me now.
Being used to WM6, which powers the device down at 5%, I was not expecting the device to do this, but there it is.
dell streak 7
im not sure if I am the only one with this issue you but becareful with the streak 7 mine well both of mine wont charge properly and the newest one wont charge at all. i have to send it back to dell for them to fix it. Im not sure what cause this but my only advie is to never use a different charger for it only dell chargers. Im guessing that it messes up the battery callibration and then it gets really hot when charging
I decided to use titanium backup to move my apps to my ext.sd card. I've never tried before. Out got almost all the way done and just stopped making any progress.
I pressed the back button and everything seemed fine. I had a notification that tibu was stopped bu user or something along those lines. I checked my ext.sd card with es file explorer to sed of any of the apps were moved and they were not.
Then I the problems started. Data connection was hit and miss and the whole phone was just over all laggy and buggy. I did a reboot with extended power menu and upon reboot the first thing I noticed was that adw didnt launch. Hit hit the home button and didn't get the option to launch it. I went to the app drawer to have a look and low and behold almost all of my apps are gone. I tried launching the market to redownload the xda app to get some advice and it lidded fine. I got to the page to download xda and hit the button. Then hit the install button and it just greyed out and did nothing. I rebooted and tried again and same problem.
is my only option to revert to a saved backup on my pc or what? Reflash my rom? Its serendipity 6.4 btw. Why did all my stuff disappear after the first reboot? Thanks for sticking around for the long read.
Morning Bumpster. Let me also add that even tho tibu shows my lost apps to install them if I try to do so it won't. Progress bar doesn't move. Sounds like I'm gonna need to use a backup. I would like to know what went wrong tho so I can avoid it un the future.

so it must be a ridiculous situation and has been answered a quillion times since zero out of 84 viewers have any input. or maybe all those views are just me checking for replies.
Response, IDK if it will help, just an experience......
I was using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076724 and then chainfires app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 ) and every reboot, i would loose all installed apps, it sucked.
There is an app in the market that BU's ur apps in the APK format(I think, its been awhile since i used it)
I was also using the OFFICIAL 2.2 rom and RYAN Lagfix and i accidently deleted a file and caused so much trouble for me(no lockscreen, home button didnt work, laggy as hell.... it sucked becuase my computer started freaking out and wouldnt recognize it so i was stuck with that for like 3 months....
thanks for the reply. seriously. im curious of your phone had problems unmounting external sd card. mine does. it wont do it. freezes for a few then says it and the phone are unresponsive.. im looking into that now. if i were to restore from a backup do i have to go back to stock, wipe and reflash just like if i were installing a new rom? never had to restore from a backup before. or do i just restore and it overwrites whats already there?
Ok, just to get this out of the way, I am an idiot.. Many points in this post will verify this fact. I apologize in advance, but sincerely appreciate any help.
So, this issue started badly and has gone down hill from there. I will try to go step-by-step with what has happened and will probably use too many words because I usually do.
To start, I have an HTC Vivid, rooted with the Vivid All-in-One Root Kit V2.2. When I got the phone nearly 2 years ago, I rooted it as soon as I got it out of the box and the root went flawlessly. I am still on stock ICS 4.0.3 and HTC 3.6. I have CWM Recovery 5.5.0.4.
While on vacation last week, my phone was being buggy. Shutting off, taking forever to reboot and once rebooted if you touched in less than 5 minutes, it died again. It has done this in the past but was getting worse. So, Monday night, having just got back from vacation, and utterly exhausted, I decided it was a fine time to move some media files that should not have been on my phone storage to my sd card. I grabbed the DCIM file in ES Explorer and moved it to ext-sd folder. In my tired state, I did not realize I was not moving it to the right area. I fell asleep while it was transferring.
I woke up the next morning and saw some type of notification from ES Explorer, but was running late to get the dog from the kennel, so I dismissed it and ran. While at the vets, I realized my text message tone had reset to default. I went back home and looked and all my vacation pictures and videos from Sunday and all my ringtones were gone. So, I start trying to find my pics and ringtones on my phone and it starts crashing again. At this point, I can't get it to stay on for longer than 5 minutes. I could get the phone to behave if I mounted as a disk drive on my PC, so I copied all the internal and sd files to a folder on my desk top.
After working on things for hours, at my husband's advice, I did a factory reset. I opted to do this from CWM. I thought I had been backing everything up on Titanium (nope, apparently not. I thought I had it backing up all user apps and system data). So, since I didn't have a proper Titanium back up, I reinstalled all the folders from my desktop back to my phone. In the past, when I have done this (long time ago, first phone I rooted, then when changing phones), the phone was restored exactly like it was before. This time, nope.. Several pictures still gone, SIM card wiped of all phone number data (have no idea how), call logs and text messages gone. APP data gone..
I used Disk Digger to find the missing photos and videos which have now become corrupted. (I am hoping to be able to restore them, we'll see). I also found my downloaded ringtones. They were fine.
So, then I start trying to restore my phone to how it was before, but nothing was working. I looked at the files I transferred and can see all the information is in there, but not loading correctly. I had my phone numbers backed up to Google, but even though I had them set to sync, none of the numbers I had on my SIM card were on the Google contacts list. Well, several factory resets and idiot moves later, I have managed to delete a system file or two by mistake. I can't even make a phone call at this point.
Here's what I need to find out:
I know I probably need to reflash the ROM. I want the ROM to remain stock 4.0.3, because I like it like that. I still have the All-in-One Kit and all it's associated files on my computer. Can I run the Vivid All-in-One again starting at a different step since it is already rooted? Can I just go to the "extras" menu and select Flash Factory RUU Zip, or should I do what I saw on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836. I have Odin on my PC as well. Should I reinstall from there?
Once I have restored my ROM, is there anyway I can restore my phone to the state it was in Monday night before I screwed everything up. So sorry for the long post, but I figured the more details the better. I truly appreciate any advice. I know I have pulled some seriously stupid mess ups here and just need some help.
ETA:
I found I was backing up w /Titanium correctly, but forgot to mention after ES did whatever it did, my sd card was completely wiped as well. I did not move anything or format my SD card.. Apparently ES or whatever was wrong with my phone did. I had my Titanium set to back up to some cloud, but don't remember the settings.. (Again really, really stupid of me.)

No... Odin is for Samsung phones...
Yea you should RUU...
While your at it... Ditch CWM for TWRP... Even if you don't use recovery all that much...
The only way to put the phone back to where it was... Since you don't have a nandroid backup is to change the settings yourself...

Well, after 5 days of fighting, only after I put my business online for all to see, I found my back up from Titanium!! It had been moved to a subfolder of a subfolder that I had looked in multiple times before. Ran it and phone has been restored including system files. It's back running normally now!
Lessons learned:
Do not decide after vacation and after driving for several hours to move files on your phone. You will mess it up!
Only after you have written an overly long post will you figure out what you did and fix it and feel even dumber than before..
Many, many thanks.
BTW, I am a bigger fan of Titanum than ever before. I can't how perfectly it restored everything, down to what panels I had my different apps on.
I know there is a lot of information on this, however my problem appears to be a bit more chronic all of a sudden. If anyone has any idea what this is (especially if it is a possible hardware issue), I would really appreciate it.
This started the past weekend and has been driving me crazy ever since. After uninstalling facebook on Saturday, I got the pop up. Rather than messing with trying to fix it, I went and reflashed the rom. While restoring all my apps, the error popped up again. Convinced there as something up on the phone or the sdcard file system, I restored back to stock 4.4.2 with odin. I rooted, went through the same restore process and after one of my reboots, it came back. Finally I searched and did "restore app defaults" in the application manager. That worked for a while, but came back a few times, until finally that method wouldn't fix it anymore.
Last night I reflashed with odin again. This time I didn't root. Everything was fine all day until I decided to uninstall twitter and the acore message is back. Doing an app reset did fix it again, however I am afraid at this point to reboot the phone or do anything else.
I had this problem maybe once about 3 months ago, now I can't get ride of it no matter what I do. I should also point out that I did not do a TiBu restore or anything, I installed all my apps through the play store.
Thanks in advance guys
Have you tried going into application manager and clearing data for contact storage? It's what I do when I get this error message

I did that, however it usually didn't work. I had to reset all application defaults and the issue usually went away. During one of my reflashes, even that didn't work anymore.
Seems like the issues started when either I turned off one of the bloatware apps, or deleted something. Sometimes the acore would start right away, other's after I rebooted the phone.
This last time, I got the phone setup, I got 2 acore's early on (Clearing app defaults worked both times). I didn't do anything else to the phone for a few days. Last night I finally rooted, installed safestrap and my other root apps and so far everything seems stable. I will just do a twrp backup before removing anything in the event things go bad again.
What still bothers me is don't know what caused this all of a sudden. I've been flashing roms for years and never once had this sort of problem. I will all set to consider this a hardware issue, until it finally settled down.
