Hey, guys, I seem to have a predicament with my Verizon Bionic. I'm using Safestrap 3.11 to run AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1.
Now, my problem: these last couple days I have started to receive the "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." error. I constantly start getting messages telling me apps have stopped, and any changes I make to files or settings seem to be applied but on reboot everything is the same as it's been.
I tried deleting the ROM slot (I have AOKP loaded in rom-slot2) but even after I choose to load my stock ROM my phone boots into AOKP, meaning I can't boot into the stock ROM. I tried fixing permissions, and that doesn't work. I have tried to flash the latest AOKP nightly but whenever I place the zip on my phone's internal storage it disappears when I reboot as my phone reverts to how the filesystem was before. I haven't put an external SD Card in my phone yet.
I have tried factory resetting my phone through Safestrap, AOKP, and stock Android recovery to find there's no change.
Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I tried using RSD Lite 5.7 to flash 98.72.22 FXZ JB but to no avail. Is there a way to manually wipe my data partition, perhaps via a Linux distro?
fxz to 4.1 and try again?

Already tried. When I reboot, safestrap is still there along with everything on my phone.
I tried wiping all from ADB to no avail as well.
Starting to get concerned...

I think this was the same thing I saw on Titanium Backup Pro when I changed ROM slots (from Icarus to CM10.1.2) It says my device ID has changed, and offered to reset it for me back to the old number. I let it do it, and I haven't had any problems.
I think flashing a new ROM generates a new device ID, and this breaks all the secure storage encryption keys among other problems, which is why it's best to leave it alone or flash it back.

Well the main problem seems to be that I cannot change anything in the filesystem without it being reverted on restart. I haven't had an offer to reset it, and I cannot reflash, as there's no way to put a ROM zip on the phone without it disappearing when i reboot into safestrap. Even deleting the ROM slot does nothing.
Have you tried fixing permissions for the ROM?

just some suggestions:
i have done like 9 bionics with safestrap 3.x and only had problems iwth two, those problems went away after removing recovery and deleting the safestrap directory in internal memory from a PC, I had 0 memory available that was the problem , it all fixed after FORMATING "sdcard" (internal storage" from storage menu)
have you tried using an sdcard for storing the new rom instead of using internal memory?
try installing the newest safestrap (just overwrite if it wont let you remove the one you have).

I haven't tried using an sdcard, I'm going to try that next.
I can't boot into stock to remove safestrap. If I could, that would probably solve my problem.
Anything I modify using a PC just reverts when I reboot my phone.

i never tried but maybe you can remove safestrap recovery from a non stock slot, dunno what would happen but if i was in your case i would try.
Also try removing the safestrap directory from your pc (i know you said everything was back to same after reboot but didnt get clear if you tried removing the safestrap dir).
Probably the cleanest solution HERE

Ok first off, I am pretty green newbie, please help me understand this stuff.
This is my girlfriend's phone, she was using it and it reset itself and now it seems to be stuck in a boot loop.
We'd like to try and recover the original system back to normal without having to use the built in system reset. I've heard I can do that by wiping the dalvk cache?
It is not rooted, and I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out. There's ways to root it but I can't get into the system to run things like zergrush or the other options.
I tried to flash clockwork mod, but since the built in recovery tool only sees the INTERNAL SD contents, I only have access to the EXTERNAL SD card to put ZIPs in. I tried to use ADB to push the zip onto the internal SD Card but it says access denied (because it's unrooted?) Now what?
So short of system resetting it and loosing all the system settings or trying to see if we can send it into samsung for a replacement, how do I do this?
Thank you for any help in advance. Please be gentle.
Put cwm on the phone via Odin, on a question asked yesterday almost exact problem I posted a link with instructions how to do this, MAKE SURE it is a t679 not t759! Otherwise you will brick your device
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Unrooted, your only real options are factory reset or use Odin.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
That is not true, if he gets cwm on it via Odin he can flash to stock through cwm, doing so would bring the phone back to out of the box condition with 2.3.6. Also it will save ALOT of time doing cwm through Odin rather than return to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
It is a T679, yes.
OK according to the wiki page for the phone, I see how to use Odin to bring the phone back to stock, which is great, but I just want to be able to root it to wipe the dalvik cache in hopes of stopping the boot loop. Hopefully this would get the phone working like normal again without deleting the old system, right?
With the Odin program, how would I use it to force the CWM.zip to root it and give me access to the recovery menu to wipe the cache? Or am I missing something?
Again, sorry for not quite getting this stuff. Thank you for helping.

My bad, I forgot there was a cwm for Odin on this phone. I got mine after the 2.3.6 update and you could flash it thru stock recovery. Plus I've only used Odin once and that was to root my Gtab 2.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
OK thank you guys, using Odin did manage to get CWM recovery pushed into the phone.
The current problem is that wiping cache/dalvik is not fixing the boot looping.
I tried wiping battery stats, fixing permissions, wiping cache/dalvik, etc. and while it does cause the phone to sit on the "SAMSUNG" opening for about 2 mins, it still bootloops after that.
now, because I want to try and somehow preserve the old stock system (she has a lot of settings and programs that she needs to get access to) I can't just wipe everything and start over fresh.
Now, again, I am a newbie, but if I'm not mistaken, can I do a nandbackup onto the external SD card and this will allow me to just wipe to original stock, get it fully working again, then do an ADVANCED RESTORE of only the /system to get it back to the way it was before?
Again thanks for the help (and putting up with newbies) :3

If you go back to stock and then advanced restore system you will probably be right back where you are now. Do another backup before trying that.
P.S. Make sure you have a way to keep track of the backups. Write it down or something.

I have unlocked at rooted my htc one. Normally I used cwm but this time I thought I would give twrp a try. Once in flashed the ROM (HTC one Google edition 4.2) I was getting android system not responding so I thought I would clear the cache and reinstall the ROM. Since I had never used twrp before just hit format thinking it would don't the same as cmw but it formated everything on my phone. I thought at first my file system had been screwed up but my phone is still working. If I go to the file explorer on twrp it still shows all the folders but on my computer there is no folder in the phone and if i try to copy anything I get the error. "Phone may be disconnected or not responding" anyone had anything similar ? I'm going to take it as a good thing that my phone isn't a brick and this is some kind of mounting problem.

Hey guys,
I was running CM 10.1.3 and decided to go to Slim Bean 2.1. I followed the instructions, but when I rebooted instead of a clean install, I had all my old apps. Naturally, I went back to recovery and wiped everything again including sdcard and flashed Slim again (from external sd card). However, when I rebooted, again I had everything - old apps, music, photos... As you might imagine after this dirty flash the phone is quite laggy. Please tell me how to make recovery properly wipe the old data.
Any help is appreciated

What recovery are you running? I am going to assume CWM v6.0.3.1...
From main menu;-
Wipe Data/factory rest
Wipe cache partition
From Mounts and Storage menu;-
Format /system
Format /cache
Format /data
Format /sd-card
From Advanced manue;-
Wipe dalvik cache
Now install.
You assume correctly. I had already done that, but I did it again in the order that you described. No difference, I still get all my app, my wallpaper, and all my accounts are still logged on. That is strange. Is there another way to wipe the phone?

Yes, it's very strange. I have done that before, but never with such results. I think I might have to resort to a kdz flash of stock rom, but I'll wait a bit to see if someone comes up with a solution. Nevertheless, I will have to find a solution, because after the last several dirty flashes one on top of the other the phone does not work as it should. It is very laggy and with an even higher battery drain (which was the initial reason for a clean install).

I have to admit that I would look at doing a KDZ reflash to get everything back clean, then CWM and reinstall of the ROM.

too late now to go back to format and reinstall rom. just go in data/app delete everything in there. also in data/dalvic-cache. then if u know from system apps which ones u dont want , go delete them and then find their dalvic-cache in /cache/dalvic-cache.
then go delete from sdcard the folder android. then from sdcard delete every zero and empty folder. last one delete all data/data and reboot. nothing should be left from previous rom. now if u have more leftovers in data/media/obb or data/media/legacy, delete. (dont delete the legacy in storage/emulated...!). about the problem u had. did u choose wipe and selected manually to wipe all those or u chose to format all data ? there must be a choice to format everything. ( dont do it now it will delete everything ). if that doesnt work then fix permissions.
Somehow after several attempts it worked and wiped everything. I am not sure, however, if it works consistently.

I will certainly do that, but I have never used flashtool so far (kdz flasher, as well for that matter), So I just do not have the time to experiment right now, just in case if anything goes wrong. But I will certainly want to try a stock rom again.

Can you please help me on this one? Yesterday i updated my nightly cm11 to the newest version. I didn't backup any of my data. It booted normally and i tried to restore my old Android-ID via Titanium, but suddenly my phone restarted and after retrying to restore the ID again, it didn't work and it said, it couldn't find any old ID in the setting storage. I remembered that i have some older Titanium Backups on my laptop and after it failed again with the new added backups, i tried to restore the whole setting storage in apps list in Titanium. At first, it didn't showed any effect so i tried to reboot it and now i'm stucked on a loop. I can't flash the rom, because i deleted the rom from my sd card to get more storage.
TL; DR: How can you get access on your sd by using recovery? If i plug my phone via usb, it shows me my 2 sd cards, but i can't open them. (when i mount usb storage, the 2 sd cards on my laptop just disappear)

Since it was getting worse and worse (i tried to apply an old cm10 backup via cm), i wasn't even able to get into recovery mode. I flashed stock kk4 with odin but now it won't let me get to usb storage: Seconds after i plug my phonevia usb just to load or to load sth on my sd card, my phone shuts down and the green loading bar appears until a new reboot starts into the green bar etc...
Is this a common bug? I searched in the forums, but couldn't find this kind of.
I guess i have some weird mount/unmount problems since i even wasn't able to get into mass storage via recovery beforehand when i had the bootloop. And the strange thing now is, that odin didn't formatted my sd card (i still got my music and stuff)

Odin doesn't format your sd card anymore.
I'm not so sure about the bug you're having. Feels like your internal might be dead but that would mean no recovery too. Do you have a external sd in?

I was able to get into recovery with speedmod kernel, but a normal boot wasn't possible, just stucked at the galaxy s screen. After root and a full wipe, i couldn't flash a rom (cm11) due getting status 0 error.
Ok i flashed cm9 and this one is completely fine. No more usb issues also. I flashed cm11 and it seems fine. I hope it will stay that way. Thank you very much for caring.
I have one more question. One thing that is very frustrating is to lose all your customized data and settings with flashing. Since messing around with titanium lead me to this problem i want to know what's your favorite backup tool? Will a normal backup via recovery save ur apps and settings?

When I first did it I did do advance wipe with everything except SD card selected. I did the towelroot again but no avail. Would I have to fully stock it through download? Man or should I try the Ota update?
Do not update if you have the chance. I would restore in Odin if you don't have the chance to try the re root.

When you say rerooting do you simply mean rerunning towelroot? Or is there another method I can try? I currently am rooted still Idk if that matters. Thanks for the help rbedell.
After installing different roms you can lose root. Just run the towel root again, reboot OS, reinstall Safestrap. Might not be your problem though. If not Odin the AP file of your current android version.

It didn't make a difference. I won't have access to a computer to use odin until tomorrow, but I will post back with results then:good:. Thanks for the help rbedell.
I had the same problem yesterday with Dynamin Cat. At first I downloaded it with my comp and transferred it to my SD card and I would get the " failed " sign when flashing it. Either it was a corupt download or got messed up when transferring it to my SD card. Either way I re downloaded it with my phone and saved it directly to my sd card and it worked fine that way.
