Hi everyone!
After a year or so of using cm7.2 on the i9000 i'm now facing a reproducible boot loop:
As it occured the first time, i made a nandroid backup via cwm, did a factory reset and reinstalled cm7, which resolved the bootloop. As i restored the data from the nandroid backup, the bootloop occured again and kept doing so when i tried the whole procedure again.
Is there any way to get the data (SMS/Contacts/Apps etc.) back without the bootloop?
Every suggestion is highly appreciated, thanks in advance!
According to Google, SMSs are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db, and contacts are stored in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/contacts.db (but they should be synced to your online Google account). Apps are stored all over /data/data I think.
i have accessed the backup via yaffey and found it, thanks.
the following might be a stupid question, but: how can i insert the exported files into the fresh flashed cm7?
Titanium Backup only let me restore the system files, but nothing from data/data :/
You could try to overwrite it (after backing up the current files) but I don't really know. I suspect these are simple Sqlite databasefiles.

Hi all, firstly Im sorry for this stupid question but I cant figure it out, I want to do a factory reset, I have installed titanium backup but cannot understand what to do. If I make a backup, then factory reset wont i lose all my backups and titanium backup itself? so my question is how to do a backup of all my apps and stuff, then how to reinstall them, really hope you can explain this to me as i seem to have loads of things on my internal sd card and want to clean up but dont know how thanks
TitaniumBackup usually backups your stuff to sdcard, which should not get wiped by a factory reset. To be 100% safe you can copy the backup folder to your computer.
After the reset you will have to download titaniumbackup from market again and then you can restore what you want to restore.
EDIT: read your post again ;-).
Your /sdcard/ will not get cleaned by a factory reset.
To get everything SUPER clean, you would have to copy the backupped stuff to your computer, flash a WIPE ROM (or install stock rom and repartition).
Then you have to copy the backup from your computer to your phone install titanium again and restore your things.
If you dont use the same rom titanium could have problems restoring somethings.

Hello,
My Galaxy S has firmware FROYO 2.2.1 (2011.1)
Trouble is that whenever i reboot all my settings, like wheater addon, time 24 hour
are gone.
Anyone withe an idee how that is possible?
Greetings
Ruud
I'm guessing a corrupt file system, back up data dbdata and cache in cwm, format those partitions in cwm and restore the backup. I guess that should do the trick.
If not do a titanium backup of your apps and factory reset/format the partitions again, then boot up the phone and restore your backup.
Hope that helps, good luck
Hi all
I've installed Cyanogenmod on many devices of mine and friends, but:
recently, I upgraded one of my friend's nexus one from stock OS (2.2) to the latest nightly.
1. installed Amon's recovery
2. made nandroid backup
3. made titanium backup of apps and system data
4. wiped data
5. flashed CM nightly 177 with latest Gapps
6. restored titanium backup (apps first, app data and system data afterwards)
now:
1. market was working fine, then suddenly it vanished!
2. based on advises from XDA and cyanogenmod, I tried below things:
wiped market data, no success
re-installed Gapps, no success
using android mate (root file explorer), installed vending.apk again, which successfully restored market for about 5 minutes, and then market vanished again
tried deleting data through system/data/com.google.android.vending
tried fix permissions through rom manager
factory reset of phone solved the problem, but restoring titanium backup again corrupted the market app
did all of above things for market updater as well
Anyone can give me a workaround?
Thanks
sounds to me like the problem is with something you restore with titanium backup. i would suggest restoring each app, etc one at a time untill you find what causes it to give you the problems with you have
Are you using a2sd? I have had this problem when running MIUI. It always happened when I ran the command "a2sd reinstall" The market seemed to be moved to the sd-ext, but there was something wrong with my partition. Because of this I lost all my apps that were moved to the ext.
It's possibly a combination of the latest market update being installed on /data (you may need to integrate it into /system with Titanium), and apps on /data being moved to SD...
My best bud was complaining about how slow his stock SGS was so I decided to help as I've fixed about 20 phones now without any issues! Until now!
Problem
Lost Contacts which were stored to phone memory
Lost memos
Almost all programs are Force Closing
History
Installed clockwork recovery as per Cyanogen Wiki page (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide)
Then using the new SpeedMod kernel by Hardcore, I rooted the phone and also converted the file system to EXT4 to ensure the lagfix worked nicely
The Recovery automaticalled generated a Nandroid back-up before the file system conversion took place.
When phone started, a lot of programs Force Closed, so we ran a Fix Permissions and this solved most problems. However, a few days have passed and now the phone is constantly FC. The loss of contacts and memo's was annoying but he wasn't too bothered as had various back-ups
So I tried a Nandroid restore which works apart from system.img which it cannot find.
I wonder if the system.img backup doesn't work since the file system was changed to EXT4? Do you think if I push the nandroid backup using ADB, it will successfully restore the phone with contacts and memo's too?
That's why I never touch someone else's phone. Always something goes wrong that never gone on my phone.
Sounds like you need to do...
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
...in clockworkmod to make a clean install.
If your friend didn't set up a syncronisation in "Accounts and sync" between google and the phone, AFAIK you cannot revert back contacts and memos
After turning the file system to EXT4, it removes backups.Because its not a nandroid backup. Just backing up your files before the partition formatting. So, no luck.
I'm not a android expert, so I might be wrong about it.
rooted, stock lollipop 5.0.2, problem started out of nowhere this afternoon...
camera won't let me take photos as it asks for an SD card. even after i insert an SD card, the error persists.
opening quickpic gives me the following errors...
Code:
not an error (code 0) could not open the database in read / write mode
Code:
unable to open database file (code 14)
can't delete ANY files manually in ES file explorer even with root explorer enabled.
booted into TWRP and cleared cache and dalvik to no avail.
seems like the phone can't read or write any data, except installing/uninstalling apps via google play still works. seems to be the same problem addressed in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/read-write-errors-advice-solved-t2323801 although i don't know how to identify the corrupt file(s) and delete them or fix permissions...
help!!
...bump?
basically wen that happens is because a file or folder is corrupted, it maybe in any place on your phone really difficult to find. That usually happens after you flash some (app, script), restore a TWRP backup, or a app that have root access doing the wrong thing.
i had this problem two times.
In the 1°, i fix by going in the TWRP, and erased my internal memory, after reboot all good.
this case was very simple i copy every file to pc, erase, after restore the one i need, and everything was fine...
In the 2°, i try that and was not successful, i need to re install the stock rom via fastboot from xml rom file to completed clean my OS.
In both cases, i was not able to make a Titaniumbackup, so i lost some data of a fill apps in the second (because i make a backup every week, if i didn't have it i probably lost everything).
If you don't use titanium, and don't wanna to loose things and app files etc, you can try copy everything on internal and external memory, by plugin on the device to a PC, after a TWRP backup of yours data, after wipe, dalvik cache, data, internal storage, cache, system, re flash the same rom you are now, and after test and see if you can write, restore the data backup.
But that data may corrupted your phone again, because the problem maybe in that.
So if after restore the data all goes bad, redo everything and do not restore data, you will lose app and data, but app can be reinstated.
:good:

thank you, i used this as an opportunity to wipe and flash cyanogen. so far so good (seems much smoother too).
