Phone Re-booting continuosly

**** ****. I was messing around with the options in Titanium Backup Pro and selected an option that said that i can remove a few apps that have been linked to my ROM and free upto 80 MB in memory. It had something to do with Dalvik Cache. The software said that the phone will restart after the process. But the phone gets stuck at the HTC Quietly Brilliant Brilliant" white screen and re-boots. I tired Pulling out the battery, Wiping cache, Factory reset using CWM but the problem continues. What do i do? The phone is hardly 3 weeks old. Its still S-ON, rooted and unlocked at htcdev.com

Can you not restore a nandroid? Or try flashing a rom that doesn't need s-off like CyanogenMod 7.

Restore your nandroid, I think I remember you posted that you had one.

Yeah i tried doing that. But get this error message in CWM:
Code:
Couldn't open directory.
No files found.
The Backup is in a folder "2012-02-12.06.04.17" and this folder is in the sd-card root. Do i have to copy the files in this folder to the root as well??
Edit: I forgot to mention that the above nandroid backup folder was saved in my computer and the sd card on which i had made the backup initially was involved in multiple formats during my futile attempts to gain S-OFF ..

You shouldn't have to. Was the backup created in cwm? Have you checked that the files are in the folder? What option were you using to restore your backup?
Another option would be to installed a custom ROM.

I guess if you are using CWM, the folder will not be on root.
As far as I remember, it use to be in some folder named CWM or ClockWorkMod something like that.
I guess the folder "2012-02-12.06.04.17" should be under "\clockworkmod\backup\" folder.
Not quite sure as I am using Ext4 recovery now.
But guess someone around here should tell you the correct folder structure.
And, I guess if you could try to mount card on your computer you will be able to see and modify the folder and put it in right place with correct backup directory.

I think i have to create a few folders since the path that CWM is looking for the recovery doesn't exist. Can you tell me the correct path so that i can create an identical location to copy the backup to??

It'd literally take you 5 mins to install a custom rom? And then in theory your fine will work perfectly. Then just set it up and create a nandroid.
When I had problems I formatted the SD card and only left the CWM files on. Then it restored/worked fine.

way2shree was correct in his post about the file structure. I think you need to do a bit of research before you do any serious damage to your phone.

Like i said the SD card on which CWM made the backup was formatted many times. Completely. So i had copied the folder with the backup to the computer.[Newb mistake. I realized the hard way]. And no the path is not \clockworkmod\backup\. Thanks anyway shree. Also i think CM7 is the only 1 that can be flashed with a S-on phone. so ill keep that as a final option since i still like sense.

I looked all over the place and found only this \clockworkmod\backup\<date> . Made both the folders but still not recognized. Can anyone confirm that this is in fact the correct path??

Phew. Atlast got the backup restored. THank you guys for all your help. Looks like i wont be doing anything android related for the next MONTH till i at least have a general idea of wth im doing.

[Q] Stuck at the "cm7" screen [UPDATE: Bootloop Logcat Attached!]

I was trying to mount the memory card by using the usb mass storage mode in a rescue disk but the mobile restarted itself a couple of times.. Later on I tried to mount the usb from cwm5 but was unsuccessful. In between all this, I do not know what happened (improper mounting/unmounting?) my device is now not booting into the OS.
Tried reinserting the battery.. no difference. Tried removing the memory card, stuck on "android" logo.
When I restart the mobile, it goes till the end of the bootscreen "Entering system" but then it reverts back to "cm7" boot screen and is stuck there.
My memory card is ok since i tried to mount it using cwm5 in windows and its working fine.
Can anyone let me know any quick solution to this as I need it working urgently?
I am using latest Apocalypse rom with firekernel kernel and amarrullz(???) script.

Did you considered reflashing the ROM?

But boot loop is more of when you are stuck on "android" screen. I am stuck on boot animation.
Update : I made a fresh installation of Apocalypse.
Restored backup of sd-ext : lots of fc but working.
Restored backup of data : stuck at book animation.
I am thinking maybe some broken application is causing this.. any way to find out for sure?

once happened to me with apocalipse. I lost the data.

I already did install a new rom last night! But i still need data from previous rom... like sms and whatsapp and other apps.. so I have made a nandroid backup just in case.
Can anyone help me in solving it or recovering the data from the nandriod atleast? Tried appextractor but it wasn't able to restore sms and didn't show whatsapp only! TB didn't help too. I guess its due too d2sd script due to which these apps are not able to locate the data. Any other app which might work?

Maybe opening the nandroid backup manually with 7zip and such. Look up inside your data and system .img files. Use the files inside to create a flashable zip with the data from the apps you most desperatly need. done by using a flashable zip for a rom, deleting everythin inside it except for META-INF, and looking at the updater-script file to make mount /data and flash to /data instead of flashing to /system, place the folder with the data you need inside the zip.

I am getting what you are trying to say but seems like I don't need it. I was able to restore the sd-ext partition which had all the data.. seems like sms file is corrupt? But anyhow, I think most of the data is there now, but no apps! I can see the ".asec" files in ".android_secure" backup but have no idea how to make apk out of these? Any though how nandriod is able to do that or any script for that?

[Q]Solved - Out of space for apps on AOKP & CM10 remix

I have searched and searched for a thread and on Google for an answer but I apologize if this is a repeat I missed.
I am running the 11/14 AOKP & CM10 Remix from SGA and I keep running into this issue. I can't update or install apps because it says "Insufficient Space." I read about using ACMEinstaller3 to increase the system partition space. This has not helped and this issue keeps coming up.
I found this thread over at rootzwiki about increasing the partition up to 2048mb but this appears to be outdated and keeps failing.
Please help.
Oops forgot to post the link. Here is the same thread posted here in XDA by jcsullins if anyone is interested.

I haven't had this problem, but here's what I'd do :
Back up your user apps with titanium (I use the paid version, don't know if the free version will do this batch procedure). Run acmeuninstaller to get rid of android. Install whichever flavor of Android you want using ACMEinstaller3. There are several good how-to's here in the forum. Once you have android installed, restore your user apps with titanium. You should now be ok.
Install the latest version of the rom you use ; there has been lots of improvements. Also upgrade your recovery to jcsullins' latest cwm. You can find it in the development section.
Good luck.

Sorry to hear about that, I should have a new build uploaded in a few days which addresses a bunch of bugs

That will be super great SGA!
Also I did not use acmeuninstaller first so that is very likely my problem.
I have been installing them on the internal memory only because I was running into problems using the SD Card partition with apps force closing.
And no I did not use Lucky Patcher. I have only .apk files in /system/app and /data/app. Should I?

Also I just discovered that I can't access my SD Card partition from Root Explorer. There is the /sdcard folder but that folder is empty. Yet if I reboot into recovery and mount USB storage all my files show up.
Also when I try to download something from the browser, the browser crashes. Same with goomanager.
I can't access any of the music that was on the SD Card from music apps like Google Play Music. But it is all still there when using Mount USB in CWM

So I just got home and able to attempt uninstall and still having a few problems...
I booted it with the volume up and power to see the USB logo. Then opened command prompt in the novacom.exe directory and ran 'novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller".
All it does is reboot to the HP logo and stays like that. I held the center and power buttons down to make it reboot after about 20 min and it still had Moboot and booted into android like nothing happened. I tried again and its been on the HP logo for about an hour now. I read the penguins are suppose to pop up right after and do the uninstall but its done nothing but the HP logo.

Well I got things resolved. I was hoping to avoid it but I started afresh with a complete file system recreate by following this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1650746
And then after ran the webOS doctor to just start over.
Somehow my partitions got corrupted and were no longer able to access each other (hence the sdcard folder being empty) probably from not uninstalling ACMEInstaller2 before using ACMEInstaller3. A complete wipe to stock was what I needed, and now its running smooth and my apps install correctly!
Thank you everyone for your help.

[Q] Please Help!! (TWRP BACKUP)

Please help me! I was on Sense 5 rooted with twrp installed. Decided id try out the new CM 10.1 for the HTC ONE. So i backed up my system, data and everything else and proceeded to install CM. Decided it wasnt for me, went to TWRP, went to restore and there are no files there? What happened? I can see I only have 6GB storage available so the file is there somewhere!! How do i flash the backup? i read about a twrp utility or that the file structure is off?
Thanks for your help!!

UPDATE: When I go into a file manager, the backup from today is there.. it is in TWRP> BACKUPS> HT34JXXXXXX> (2013-05-14 @ 8:06 AM)
and inside that folder are the usual backup files. BUT IT STILL WONT SHOW UP IN TWRP WHEN I PRESS "RESTORE"

Anyone? I'm dieing here!!!

Reflash recovery, and see if now work.
I've restored yesterday my backup and no prob with TWRP.
And search your file in sdcard/0
If it will not work, reflash rom.

Don't know if this happened but I had a galaxy s3 before I got the htc one and I understood that cyanogenmod is a 4.2.2 type of rom and we have a 4.1.2 rom. A lot of peeps in the galaxy's forum would have trouble going back to touchwiz roms because the say flashing a 4.2.2type of rom partitions the memory files differently so then the 4.1.1 stock or custom roms. You may have to somehow unroot the phone and "push" the phone back to stock using your computer. People had to do that before with the s3. Hope that helps maybe. I have to go to work now. Good luck

For team win recover the files need to be in /sdcard/0 the number zero or it won't be recognized. Move the directory structure to /sdcard/0. Also copy the directory with the backup to your computer in case.

Search the SD card for boot.emmc.win you should get two results one from the original backup and one from the new one. You need to get both the backups together. Also copy your original backup to your computer so you have a copy of it in case you need to wipe or something.

OK so did you copy your backup to your computer yet???? Well if not now would really really be the time to do that. Looks like there is a issue with how CM is doing the SD card and TWRP. So first copy the backup off of your phone. Should I say it again? COPY THE BACKUP OFF YOUR PHONE. Now go get the correct RUU for your phone. Run that sucker and restore the phone to stock. You will need to relock your bootloader. Once that is done put TWRP back on your phone and copy your backup to the phone.

Ran into this myself. Because of 4.2.2's support for multiple users, it segments the internal storage into pieces(i.e. 0 for first user, 1 for second user, 2, 3, so on). I didn't realize this and had to start from scratch.
Copy your TWRP backup(and anything else you don't want to lose) to your computer and delete the 0 file. Re-add your files to the internal storage(be sure to keep a copy on your computer). Then reboot into bootloader, fastboot erase cache, reflash, and reboot into recovery. Don't let the CM10.1 ROM start up, otherwise you'll be doing it again.
Alternatively, use the All-In-One toolkit to adb sideload a non-CM10.1 ROM onto your phone, delete the 0 folder(after transferring to your computer what you don't want to lose, of course), reboot recovery, and attempt to restore.

Thanks guys, got it working
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

This is the same problems people with the GNex came across moving back from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 last year - you have to remember the internal memory changed and manually move fles to the non-0 folders! You guys should read up more before jumping head long into a new Android version!
Glad it's sorted now though

Maybe I am not understanding the thread but--

[Q] kfhd missing storage space

i put twrp on my kindle form this thread:
[REF] Installing Kindle Fire HD 7" 2nd-Bootloader + TWRP Complete Tutorial
after that my free storage is reduced to 2 gb. when i look under device/ storage somthing called "others" using up 10 gb. i redid the whole thing still the same. what should i do?

What's the exact path to the folder you are referring to? All twrp does is flash the recovery partition, and 2nd boot loader doesn't really use up any space since its not exactly a physical file if I remember right, I believe it's stored in the kernel.

You probably had this issue before modding. Restore back to complete factory status and then let your tablet update automatically (OTA.) This should fix the issue.

I'm willing to bet if you poke around you will find a twrp backup folder they are typically 2 gigs and don't show up right in the used space

After twrp, i modded with Kinology. Issue remained. Did a hundred reset, whipe cash, dalvik cash, ect. Still not working. Restored the whole thing with KFHD_SRTv1.3.5 option 1, thats restore back to stack whith root (without root option did not work, it kept saying device cannot boot). I think that was 7.3.1. Updated to 7.4.6, put twrp with fireflash and again there was a whole lot of nothing using 10 gigs.

Poked around a lot looking for files like that, I found twrp backup folder whitch was empty, I booted in twrp and scavenged for hidden files, nothing came up like there wouldn't be anything except system.
I really would miss twrp, becase it allowed me to use Kinology which fullfilled my every need that I have for a tablet. Still dont want to sacrifice 10 gb for it. Is it possible that fireflash somehow partitioned it? Sorry if I ask stupid questions. I'm close to a surgeon when it comes to my kindle: I read a lot about it, only understood the half of it but doing it anyway.

Do a complete factory reset and then wait for an OTA update. Then this will fix it. You must let an OTA update happen. Get ris of root, the whole nine yards.
