[Q] Major Cognition 4 problem

I have cognition 4 on my phone, and whenever I improperly shut down my phone and restart it, most of my apps forceclose on start-up and cannot be used again. The only way I have found that I can fix this is by re-flashing cognition. Is there any way to stop this from happening? If it cannot be stopped how would I go about updating to 2.3 and installing Serendipity; it looks interesting.

Try clearing cache via recovery.

try wiping the dalvik cache as well as fix permissions in recovery

Try what they said. Next time please post in the right section. This should be in Q/A. I suggest a Mod to move the post. Also, if you need helping flashing, then your probably not ready to flash. There is a ton of valuable info on the forums. READ before doing anything. Happy flashing.

Thanks for all of the help, and I will post in Q/A next time.

When you turn off the phone wait until the screen goes black and the phone buzzes before removing the battery(usually 10-20 secs after screen goes dark). I used to have this same issue as well until I started doing this when I swap batteries.
This will prevent you from having to clear the caches, etc.

VZW: Force closes every app I try to open!

As it sounds in the title. I am helping a friend out with his Tab. I have tried various ROMS, but the issue still remains and that is, the Tab loads from a restart, every app force closes. I mean every app. I can go into the drawer click on an app, and it force closes before it even opens. I am at a loss. I have an Android phone but this one has me stumped. Any thoughts?

Have you done a full factory wipe to try starting from scratch? Found the stock rom and flashed that? Let us know what steps you've taken and we can probably help you get your friend up and running again.

I have done a factory wipe. I booted into recovery, wipe data/factory reset as well as wipe the cache partition. It also seems to reset the settings every time the Tab is rebooted. Should it affect it if the Tablet is not connected to any service? He is just using it as a side gadget. He hooks it up to wifi occasionally, but that's about it.

I would download a good stock carrier rom and kernel for whatever version he has (vzw sprint...whatever) and set it back to as it shipped from carrier. Maybe a system file is shot.

I flashed to a stock VZW rom, and no dice. When it reboots, all of the apps force close either at startup or when they are pressed. This is ridiculous!
I used this ROM
When I flashed it back to stock, the Setup Wizard keeps force closing. So now I can't even get to the homescreen or even the activate screen to bypass activation.

Are you flashing through recovery or using odin? That would be my advice, get a stock tar and odin

try flashing a kernel with clockwork. then flash whatever rom. and do wipe data, wipe cache, and then go into advanced, and wipe the dalvik cache.

Any thoughts on which one?

I know there have been other threads relating to this. It will never do a full reset. It always recovers to a previous image.

Odin with a stock tar

I have done a flash using the stock rom. The issue that it is having, is that everytime I reboot the Tab, I ALWAYS have to start from scratch. The ROM changes when I flash, but all of the previous users info is still there. I go in to app management remove every 3rd party app I can find, any personal data (i.e. google accounts, messages etc.), but when I reboot the Tab, ALL of the info that I just deleted is back on device. After just a simple reboot. I tried just installing CWM but superuser keeps force closing so I can never boot into CWM recovery. Any of the kernels that I can find no longer have valid links, does any one have a kernel available. Very frustrating! I have used both Odin and Heimdall.

Weird clockwork situation

Hi I have weird situation for some reason I cannot install custom roms via clockwork for my streak 7. In addition whenever I click on the recovery button, the tablet reboots and take me right back to the T-Mobile screen and eventually the main screen. This is the only issue I seem to be facing.. I have root and superuser I have reinstalled with Nflash several times but I still receive the same issue. If. I manually try to install a rom in clockwork , it goes through the steps but the little bar does not turn green or orange..it just goes through the motion and says complete...

CyanogenMod 9 - Home Button & Lock Screen

[SOLVED]
Sorry I keep posting things to myself and solving it on my own after hours -__-.. I already struggled hours beforehand and was frustrated..
Anyways, I went to CMW recovery mod, deleted the back up that I backed earlier. And then format/reset to factory mod / wipe partition / cache / Dalv. Then I went to boot my device but after 10 minutes, it'd still be loading cyanogen.... so I reinstalled the CyanogenMod9. Wiped all the things I mentioned above again and when it loaded to OS, it worked..
I have no idea what was causing it.. probably the back up file interfering somehow? Because that's the only thing I got rid of and everything went back to normal.

Hey guys, I successfully installed CyanogenMod 9 on my Gingerbread 2.3.5.
Everything is great and slick. I used to use CyanogenMod 7.
Funny thing is, I enabled the lock screen (pattern) and it seems to be not working? I don't know if I'm missing something but after leaving my phone for good 20 minutes, I came back to turn on (from sleep) and it wasn't asking for lock screen pattern. I tried slide too, same.
Also, from my previous versions, whenever I was in setting or any app, if I were to press on Home Button it would bring my back to main screen. My Home button no longer does this. I have no idea what it does now, I press it and the phone vibrates (indicates that its been pressed) but no effect. I have to literately press Back like 5 times just to return to Main menu.
Is there something I'm suppose to enable or something?
Let me know, thank you

lol, hate when that happens

Hey danroh,
I had same issue with home button and lockscreen and this steps fixed problem:
1) I accidentally downloaded Jelly Bean gapps instead of ICS version
2) Reinstalled CM9
3) Downloaded experimental build and flashed that over stable one
4) Flashed with proper ICS gapps
5) Factory reset/Data wipe, Clear Dalvik cache
6) Reboot

Hit thanks if that worked for you

Weirdly, my brother's Galaxy S had the same thing. Home button just would not work after installing CM9. Tried a few things, failed.
Then, I found this thread and I remembered that I'd backed up his old CM7 a while before. Deleted that backup in CWM Recovery, factory wiped/cache wipe, reinstalled CM9 and Gapps for 9 and boom, everything was fine.
EDIT:
Another thing to note is that when the home button wouldn't work, there was no Lockscreen either, just like you had. On first boot it didn't prompt me for a google account either, which it did do after I deleted the backup.

hey man!!..thnx for your guide...i w as actually in great trouble coz of this error..nd now its fixed!!...thnx a lot!!...

really big help needed! :)

hello, i got HTC One M7 and when i turn him on and press power button phone cant stop restarting and cannot connect to wi-fi (it says turning wi-fi...) so if there is any solution, i would really appreciate it. PS MY CAMERA IS PURPLE TOO, if there is solution for that, tell me pls! peace

It depends on what ROM you are running. Try booting by power-down volume and going from there into recovery. Clear cache and delvic cache. Reboot. That or factory reset. If that fails you can flash a new fresh copy of OEM ROM onto the device. Could have become corrupted. However, if you got the device wet, even from sweat, then you could have fried something.
I'd try a fresh flash myself. Then load the latest version of CM onto it and enjoy the now updated M7 with something far better than the original.
