Hi Folks,
so here's my problem, the other day I got the standard "not enough space"-warning and I thought crap there must be a solution to this by now, so I checked and found that script that cleans up the cache etc.
So today suddenly apps(mostly gapps) started crashing one after another, without them even being open, just as it would do when space in /datadata got very low. The phone was basically unoperable, so I restarted it and it was stuck at the boot screen(blue flashing screen, not before). I tried everything to get rid of this, clearing different caches, new nightly, new skript version....nothing.
So I did a nandroid backup, reset the whole thing and started it, everything went fine. Another restart into recovery flash nand-backup....back to old habits :/
Still not wanting to give up I reset it again and reflashed only /system.....all worked, reset it again and only flashed /data.....stuck again. So it must have something to do with the /data-partition, since I would really love to have my data and apps back it would be great if someone could help me out here.
Device-Info: newest CM9-nigthly, kernel that CM9 uses, of course I9000
For more Info please ask!

Ok so this is my first post here, and I'm sort of a noob so I'm sorry if these questions are too noobish...
First, I rooted my HTC hero last night, but I tried to install the rom (fresh 2.3.3) before wiping so I got stuck in this perpetual loop of the startup screen, had to wait until the phone ran out of battery and then did a wipe of data/ext and rebooted. Everything worked fine from there, and it seems to be working normally, BUT I'm wondering if this means everything installed correctly, or if I should just go through the process again.
Second, when I connect my phone to the computer I notice that I have the .zip of the image still in my phone's root. Can I delete this or is it necessary for the phone's function?
Third, are there any other roms people would suggest? I like vanilla android (not a sense fan), and I heard of a rom called Darchdroid. I was wondering how this stacks up to fresh 2.3.3...I'm looking for the smoothest experience possible (not a fan of the minor lag that happens in fresh)
And fourth, if I decide I want to get rid of Fresh and try a new rom, what is the procedure for wiping my phone clean and installing the new rom? (sorta noobish I know...)

a bit noobish myself, but I think I can answer a bit regardless, anyone feel free to correct me...
1: if everything is working, great! if you dont feel comfortable, and dont mind resetting everything up, go ahead, do it again, cant hurt. whenever reflashing/new flashing, Dont Forget to make a nandroid and wipe! (and you can rename the backups in USB disk mode so you know which ones are what, otherwise go by the embedded date in the autogen'd title. in the nandroid folder on your SD card btw)
2: as far as I know, leave it?
3: HUGE fan of Darchs work, cant go wrong... keep in mind it does not have VisVoicemail in it, fix flash needed.
4: reboot into recovery, make a nadroid backup, WIPE!, flash the new one according to cookers intructions! done! (if ya dont like it, buggy, nandroid restore back to your last good one you did like!)
well I reinstalled the rom and wiped first...and everything is running way smoother than last time. I don't know what in the world happened or what was going on but I'll take it as it is
Bit of an odd situation here, and I appreciate I may not be able to give you enough info to be helpful.
My Galaxy i9000 (vodafone uk) has suddenly started behaving oddly - multiple force closes with everything except stock apps.
Happened after I tried to do a regular backup. Phone was fine, I booted into CWM recovery, did the backup, rebooted, and all hell broke loose!
I'm running hardcore's kernal (2.6.32.9) - k12p 500hz. Upgraded from my last hardcore kernal and running without issues about a week ago. ROM is XXJPY.
I've tried: Factory reset
Wipe all caches
Restore old backups - the one I did last night. FC's all over. Restore an earlier backup - from the beginning of this month. Same result.
Also seem to have lost all my phone customisation - home screens etc.
Does anyone have any idea which bit I've broken, and how I should go about fixing? Does it sound like a kernal or a ROM prob...?
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.
Hi all,
I have been trolling through all the forums on the GT-I9300T then the 9305T, and found so far a heap of tips and tricks for tweaking my phone.
I've been happily Rooting and ROMing my 9305T for a month now all without issue. What I've noticed is that with each ROM i put on my phone, it accumulates more files, folders and other legacy junk from the previous ROM. Do that over four ROM's and you get the idea...
So i thought i would restore from backup, my factory ROM which i have on internal and external SD. Unfortunately the restore came up with an error saying it was missing a file during the data backup (The Boot, Cache etc. all restored without a hitch) so it went into a boot loop...
I got out of the boot loop OK, installed the correct factory ROM form SamMobile and all is well. The phone works and everything is intact, but i now have a lot of junk on my phone I'd like to get rid of to restore it to the day i bought it. With my backup image not working can a full wipe and re-install be done to accomplish this?
Alright, need some help here... decided to try a custom ROM for the first time since 5.1 came out. Flashed the newest Blisspop 5.1.1 build (4/30), got everything set up, apps restored, was running great. Using ElementalX kernel. I rebooted and I got the "android is upgrading" screen (did not say which apps were being optimized) and it finished, unlocked, and the phone shut off. Same thing about five times. Decided that I didn't want to mess with it tonight, so I just wiped and restored the Nandroid that I had made before flashing the ROM; the phone just will not turn on. After my sixth attempt nothing at all happens. Just endless bouncy balls. Master resets galore, reflashing kernels, everything. Not really looking forward to loosing all my data and settings for literally nothing. I've gone through the same backup/restore process countless times before and I've never run into this issue. I was thinking it could be an issue cause by going to 5.1.1 and then back down to just 5.1, but that doesn't really make sense to me. Anyone have any tips?

So it appears you're stuck in soft brick. I'm sorry but you may have to sacrifice your data in order to recover. It would be my suggestion, to boot to bootloader and issue: fastboot format cache and fastboot format userdata.
