Help for my captivate please!! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
Thanx for looking in this. So, I have a rooted cappy att on a stock 2.2 ota update version of firmware and yesterday I did a nandroid backup for the first time after reading proper instructions. So, after that when my phone booted up it was somehow missing the contacts icon which was no where to be found. So I started my titanium backup pro and tried restoring the contacts app, but it just froze. So, I finally decided to do a nandroid restore. I went into clockwork and restore and started it. So, after it booted up it would just show me LogsProvider error in a loop. So now somehow I managed to go into titanium and then found the LogsProvider and did a restore of that app+data amd it stopped putting the errors. But now, it will get me errors for whatever app I try to access. Till now it has shown me errors in gmail, browser, tw launcher. But xda runs perfect!
Changes that I did for getting the cwm was it wont take me to that green screen for backup no matter how many times I clicked the reinstall packages. So I went into rom manager and flashed a older version of cwm which was 2.5.1.1 instead of the 2.5.1.2 and now I could go into the green and do a backup and this was all before the restore.
So, this is it. I am now booting in with errors and my contacts are gone, cannot open messages. Basically, SCREWED!
Help me out buddies, it would be really appreciated! Thanx in advance.

[Q] Market FC after nandroid restore

I took a nandroid backup of my CM6.1.2 ROM before trying out the CM7 nightly. I tinkered for about an hour and then decided to go back. I restored the nandroid backup and everything seems to be fine, except I'm getting the Market force-closing on me repeatedly. I've tried clearing Market data/cache and that doesn't seem to help.
Any ideas on why it might now be crashing, and how to get it back to functional again?
EDIT: Just following up, I tried booting back into Clockwork Recovery and doing an advanced nandroid restore, selecting the same backup, but data only. Everything was fine after the reboot. Maybe Clockwork just did a bad restore the first time round?

What version of the Marketplace are you running? I had this problem last week and was using 2.2.7... but it seemed that removing it and installing 1.82 fixed the fc's. I was getting a permissions error in logcat, tried a bunch of stuff including editing packages.xml, everything short of a full wipe, and I couldn't get anything. In the end, the only thing that fixed it was a full wipe and a reinstall of the rom.
I haven't tried with 2.2.10 or 2.2.11, but that might work too. Maybe someone else ran into this and they have some better steps...?
Edit: Just saw your edit... I'll have to try that out if there's a next time because that's one thing I didn't try, I only tried full restores.
I have the same problem with 2.2.7 on MCRv9. I'd been on Oxygen rc6, but the other day noticed that at some point I'd lost a few games and all of their backups. Luckily I have a nandroid backup of the lot on MCRv9 so I restored it and found that the games (but not their data) were missing there too. Bizarre, but I figured I could either grab the data from /data/data or reinstall from the Market and then back them up properly with Titanium.
No luck! I'm having this exact issue. I can stop the FCs with a Market data wipe, but all downloads then hang, and then FCs start again. I can fix the download problem with the MCR Market script, but then the download always fails at the end and the FCs start again.
Rather than re-restoring the data I'm going to try a different Market version. I installed 2.2.7 manually so it may be my own fault.
Had the exact same problem. I resolved it by flashing the older version of Gapps (20101114) and then flashed Pendo blue market. The blue colour looks better than the stock green, imo.

[Q] After CWM backup system reboots back into CWM

I booted into Clockworkmod Recovery (3.0.0.5) and did a successful backup but when I REBOOT after it is complete it keeps going back into the recovery screen again.
This is driving me nuts. This was a brand new (received today) NC rooted with Auto-Nooter 3.0. I set it up the way I wanted it then did a full backup. Now I can't get out of the backup screen after a reboot.
How can I fix this so I can get back into the O/S?
This happened to me too. I'm still new and dont know why there are specific versions of CWR for specific ROMs... Or why the same version of CWR cannot restore its own backup.
But reinstalling http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947071 via a sdcard image worked. If your nandroid/cwr backup does not work I hope you have a titanium backup.

Place the file I attached in root of your SDCard and run it from CWR and it will remove CWR and restore you to Autonooter 3.0.0
Apparently CWR has issues with 1.1.0 ROM. This worked for me, when I had the very same issue. I wish I could find the original post I got this from so I could give them the credit.

Ok, this is where I originally got the cwr-removal.zip file, author was samuelhalff

Same thing happened to mine i ended usinthe removal tool and clearing the cach and then reinstalling the stock zip. I probably spent a good 3 hours figuring it out.

[Q] Recommended CWM

Hi,
I wipe my device yesterday to make a fresh install because my o2x has gotten laggy for the past few weeks, I made a titanium backup + CWM backup.
Sadly, some of my apps Data was not backed up for some reason, although the app is able to be restored by titanium, but no previous data backup. The most important apps for me, the LG Memo app and color notes which both i use to record memo. Now lost.
Then i tried to restore from CWM which supposed to be last resort, and it failed to restore halfway through the SYSTEM partition. So now i am totally lost.
This is my second time in a few months cwm failed to make a proper backup (i rarely use it anyway), and the sad thing is i will not know that it is a bad backup until i tried to restore it to see it fails.
So my question is, is there a recommended version of CWM i should use? I flashed my cwm from rom manager, i think it is version 4.0.2.0.
Secondly, is there a way to extract and restore my app + data from raw cwm backup?
Thanks.
Current cwm version is 5.0.2.8. I have installed it directly and never experienced a problem.
I think that you can manually extract your app and push it to your phone.
It's not much of the app itself, but the DATA that is associated with the app. Like i said, the LG Memo i can just get back by reinstalling the rom, but the memos i saved for the past year or so is what i want to get back.
I am daily user of cwm instaled thry RomMenager and it works perfectly. You can try application Appextractor to extract app from your cwm backup
You can also try restoring your /data partition only. CWM has an option to selectively restore parts of your backup. That way you can get your info back.

I tried that... it ends up with bootloop.
@all
Thanks for all your help. I manage to restore the cwm backup after updating my cwm. It got stuck at boot but then i tried reinstalling the Spica's HP custom kernel.. everything's back again. Lucky~

[Q] black screen after safestrap restore

[Q] ClockworkMod Installed by CM 10.2; cant restore stock.

Hi all
First post. There's a bit of detail here as I'm not sure if there's something that might be relevant to the question that I'll be asking.
I had my phone rooted for a year or two now, "happily" sitting on stock Gingerbread. Over the weekend, I decided to take the plunge and install CyanogenMod 10.2
Prior to starting, I went in to ClockWorkMod Recovery and made a Nandroid backup. (CWM was installed when I rooted the phone, it was version 2.5.1.0)
I also used TitaniumBackup to back up all of my contacts and SMS messages (wasn't bothered with anything else).
I downloaded CM 10.2 from the website and gapps-jb-2013013 to go with it. I read around how to do the update and armed with the laptop for googling, I began:
Wiped everything and began flashing CM.
It failed. Got an Error 0 when trying to install the package.
Googled furiously, tried editing a line in the CM zip file (something to do with detecting the model of my phone), then flashing it from the external SD card. Still nothing. Copied original CM zip file back to the external SD card. Eventually got fed up and rebooted phone to recovery thinking I was beaten and I'd have to restore to stock
But then I notice that CWM has changed. Now I have the gears/orange/hat logo, it's reporting that it's version 6.x
So it seems that it updated CWM. I'm wondering if that might have been causing the problems...
So I now try to re-flash CyanogenMod. It flashes. Flash gapps too: It works - Hooray! Try rebooting -> bootloop (although at least now it's a cyanogenmod bootloop )
Can't power off phone, so I remove the battery, give it the old DOS 15 seconds, battery back in and boot to recovery again.
Wiped partitions again, reflashed CyanogenMod and gapps and this time it works. Hooray again! Reboot phone and in no time it's asking about google accounts and such. AWESOME (albeit slightly nervewracking)
So I have CM 10.2 running and Play Store runs and I can download apps. I pull down Titanium, restore my contacts to test it out.
Crash. (Something about acore process has stopped ...)
Reboot. acore still crashing.
OK, no panic. It's probably broken, but the since I've just flashed it and have nothing on there other than ROM and gapps, I can do it again.
Did. Went fine. New Nandroid Backup as a precaution.
So, Titanium won't extract contacts. Wasn't going to chance it with SMS messages, so held off on installing it again.
Googled some more, read about AppExtractor which can talks directly to Nandroid backups.
Installed AppExtractor, tried restoring contacts - blanks the 3 contacts I had started manually creating and leaves me with nothing.
Rebooted just in case. Still nothing
Tried it again just in case it would prefer an empty contacts location. Still Nothing.
Decided that because I now have a Nandroid backup of CM, I'll go back to stock, export SMS and contacts out to some sort of neutral format, then come back to CM (with newly acquired Nandroid backup) and import. Should be straightforward.
And as if you couldn't guess: It wasn't.
CWM (6.x) refuses to restore the stock rom (I've also tried using a backup that I made about 6 months ago, no luck there either).
So the situation is now: Phone running fine on CM 10.2.1 (only one spontaneous reboot and subsequent bootloop), but can't restore old Nandroid backups (taken with CWM 2.5.1.0 speedmod).
I've tried e-mailing the author of AppExtractor but haven't heard anything back.
Finally, to the questions (thanks for your patience)
Any thoughts on why I can't go back to the old stock rom? Is there no backward compatibility?
And: Any way to restore SMS messages and contacts from the old stock rom to the new CM rom (if AppExtractor doesn't work).
Thanks in advance

Of course you can't restore contacts, TW format and AOSP are not compatible. Also nandroid done with CWM 2xxx isn'restorable with CWM 5xxx or 6xxx.
Also forget Titanium Backup for any system apps or files. Not gonna work with Cyanogenmod. Every OP warns about that.
The best way is to flash your old GB with odin, then SpeedMod kernel, restore your nandroid, export contacts to SD card (in contacts app in menu) and backup SMS with app "SMS backup & restore" by Ritesh Sahu.
I have described all here:

Partial answer
Found a partial answer to the first question in the FAQ of this post:
Link
So it would seem that the only way back would be to get the stock Gingerbread (I have a copy of a file that appears to be the rooted Samsung Kernel)
[Additional thanks to tetakpatak for his reply whilst I was posting this - it seems that the article I linked above is the same one quoted in tetakpataks reply]
Realistically though, I'm not sure I could be bothered with going back to stock.
So now to the recovery of contacts and SMS messages.
Thanks again

Don't worry. I hope you know which GB did you use before. At least you must know which SpeedMod kernel did you have so if you now just flash a fairy similar GB like you used before and the same SpeedMod kernel, you will be able to restore your nandroid backup so you will have all your data back.

Thanks for the suggestions and apologies for the delay in replying.
I don't know the Gingerbread version - didn't think I'd be going back to it!
I appreciate you taking the time to follow up on this, but I'm going to park this issue and learn a simple lesson. BACK UP EVERYTHING and do it more than one way!!
Thanks again for the help and suggestions
