I just recently went from cm9 to cm10.1 nightly and I have camera and gallery issues. I was told this is probably the result of doing a "dirty install". So how do I do a clean install? I thought I did a clean install when I went from 9 to 10. I put the appropriate zips files in the cminstall folder, attached my touchpad to my pc in usb mode, typed the correct commands in DOS and my touchpad went through the double penguin install. Is that not considered a clean install? Am I suppose to do something with the caches? I am a little confused on what I have to do to get everything running smoothly again. If I do a clean install, do I lose my apps? Any help would be appreciated.
So I think I just backup using nandroid, use the uninstaller, reinstall 10.1, then load my backup. Does that sound right? Will that keep my apps and settings?
Anybody? I am about ready to do this but want to make sure I still have my apps with their current settings.
Well, I did a complete unistall using acmeuninstaller then re-installed 10.1. I was stuck in the boot loop. Couldn't get it to work so I went back to my nandroid backup of 10.1 that has some problems (reason why I tried a re-install). I was thinking of going back to cm9 but I don't want to lose my apps and settings. What should I try next?

So today my phone was on and everything was fine, then while I was charging it, went away from it a few minutes then came back it was on the boot menu. It now can not get past the boot menu ever.
I have ClockWork Mod recovery installed, and CM7.1 stable.
I did a "backup" via the ClockWork Mod Recovery of the system.
I am also quite tempted to get the CM9 RC2 installed. But screw it if it any kind of unstable. CM7.1 stable is unstable enough.
What should I do? I would prefer it if I did not lose all my stuff (like app notes etc).
Can I like just put my phone into Download Mode, place the CM9 RC2 on the root folder, then do the good old
cyanogenmodWiki Full Update Guide method via recovery
without losing anything?

If you have done a "backup" from CWM before the failure just restore that.
From CWM menu try to do a dalvic and cache clean up. also clear init.d and nstool settings and try to reboot
If you want to be more adventurus and loose your contacts, sms, settings...and other stuff from CWM do full wipe and cache and dalvic and then install your favorite rom.
I tried to installthe Gnexus port rom jr03l 4.1.1 rc 10. I was on TAJB'S Jellybean rom with devil kernel. I tried to install the rom as per the instructions given. I did a nandroid backup of the current rom before attempting to do so. The flash failed as the phone rebooted into recovery after a few minutes. I tried to restore from my nandroid backup. That failed too and it came up with a message of "no free space". I rebooted the phone and the phone automatically tried to flash the gnexus port rom again. It failed rebooted and got stuck on the devil kernel screen.
After about 20 mins, i took the battery out and rebooted into recovery. I really dont know where to go from here. I need to backup my efs folder too somehow.
I have a flash zip of the gnexus port rom, the tajb rom and a cm9 nightly in my internal sd card. I also have a nandroid backup of my cm9 rom.
Any help will be greatlyy appreciated!!!
Please help me.

Hey,
I have been using CM10 Paranoid Android since it came out on the Note, I am on 2.51 version.
Yesterday my SD Card wouldn't mount so I rebooted the phone, after the reboot it got stuck on the animation (Jelly Bean Android). So I rebooted it again and this time it booted, but every application was 'Not Responding' I couldn't even get to the lock screen.
Ever since then I can't boot it up it stays on the Jelly Bean Man animation. Keep in mind I didn't install any apps, I didn't update the Rom since it came out ( a few months ), it just randomly stopped working.
I am wondering what to do.
Thank you.
Start with cleaning cache and dalvik cache in your recovery.

If you have a backup of your Rom (made in recovery) and/or backups of your Apps (made with Titanium Backup):
Factory reset and reinstall this Rom or install another (JB stock) Rom.
If you do not have backups:
Factory reset and reinstall this Rom or install another (JB stock) Rom.
And be sorry, that you didn't make backups.

Do you have any idea what happened? It was so spontaneous. I have a back up of the ROM, however it was before I installed APPS, and TB didn't work on my phone so I could never back them up.
So factory reset is the only way?

If TB never worked there was already something wrong with your configuration.
No, I don't have an idea what could be wrong - only hoping that it isn't a hardware problem.
Yes, that's why I would install a stock JB rom with PC Odin first: if this succeeds you'll have working configuration again - if if fails we can analyze the errors in PC Odin.
I'm currently running the latest emmc nightly with trim kernel. While it's quite stable, I do get random reboots from time to time and the wifi is not very stable. So last night I tried downgrading it back to the 07/10 build, which is supposed to be the most stable, but it got stuck in the boot loop. I've made sure to flash the right Gapps and wiped the dalvik/cache, uncheck the launcher wallpaper checkbox, but it still won't boot. I then flashed the latest emmc nightly and it boots just fine. Has anyone managed to successfully downgrade to 07/10 and fix the dreaded boot loop problem without losing all the apps/data? I considered trying doing the Titanium app/data backup + flash 07/10 + factory reset + restore backup, but I'm not sure if that would actually work? Open to any suggestions, thanks in advance!
Anyone? Pretty please!

Titanium Backup Pro can extract apps+data from CWM & TWRP backups. Maybe you can make a nandroid backup of your /data partition, clean flash, and then try restoring through TiBa?
Also, I think restoring all of /data should be almost safe, as most of it is user-installed apps anyway. The only conflict would come from any system settings you've changed, which might conflict with an older builds.
Hi all
First post. There's a bit of detail here as I'm not sure if there's something that might be relevant to the question that I'll be asking.
I had my phone rooted for a year or two now, "happily" sitting on stock Gingerbread. Over the weekend, I decided to take the plunge and install CyanogenMod 10.2
Prior to starting, I went in to ClockWorkMod Recovery and made a Nandroid backup. (CWM was installed when I rooted the phone, it was version 2.5.1.0)
I also used TitaniumBackup to back up all of my contacts and SMS messages (wasn't bothered with anything else).
I downloaded CM 10.2 from the website and gapps-jb-2013013 to go with it. I read around how to do the update and armed with the laptop for googling, I began:
Wiped everything and began flashing CM.
It failed. Got an Error 0 when trying to install the package.
Googled furiously, tried editing a line in the CM zip file (something to do with detecting the model of my phone), then flashing it from the external SD card. Still nothing. Copied original CM zip file back to the external SD card. Eventually got fed up and rebooted phone to recovery thinking I was beaten and I'd have to restore to stock
But then I notice that CWM has changed. Now I have the gears/orange/hat logo, it's reporting that it's version 6.x
So it seems that it updated CWM. I'm wondering if that might have been causing the problems...
So I now try to re-flash CyanogenMod. It flashes. Flash gapps too: It works - Hooray! Try rebooting -> bootloop (although at least now it's a cyanogenmod bootloop )
Can't power off phone, so I remove the battery, give it the old DOS 15 seconds, battery back in and boot to recovery again.
Wiped partitions again, reflashed CyanogenMod and gapps and this time it works. Hooray again! Reboot phone and in no time it's asking about google accounts and such. AWESOME (albeit slightly nervewracking)
So I have CM 10.2 running and Play Store runs and I can download apps. I pull down Titanium, restore my contacts to test it out.
Crash. (Something about acore process has stopped ...)
Reboot. acore still crashing.
OK, no panic. It's probably broken, but the since I've just flashed it and have nothing on there other than ROM and gapps, I can do it again.
Did. Went fine. New Nandroid Backup as a precaution.
So, Titanium won't extract contacts. Wasn't going to chance it with SMS messages, so held off on installing it again.
Googled some more, read about AppExtractor which can talks directly to Nandroid backups.
Installed AppExtractor, tried restoring contacts - blanks the 3 contacts I had started manually creating and leaves me with nothing.
Rebooted just in case. Still nothing
Tried it again just in case it would prefer an empty contacts location. Still Nothing.
Decided that because I now have a Nandroid backup of CM, I'll go back to stock, export SMS and contacts out to some sort of neutral format, then come back to CM (with newly acquired Nandroid backup) and import. Should be straightforward.
And as if you couldn't guess: It wasn't.
CWM (6.x) refuses to restore the stock rom (I've also tried using a backup that I made about 6 months ago, no luck there either).
So the situation is now: Phone running fine on CM 10.2.1 (only one spontaneous reboot and subsequent bootloop), but can't restore old Nandroid backups (taken with CWM 2.5.1.0 speedmod).
I've tried e-mailing the author of AppExtractor but haven't heard anything back.
Finally, to the questions (thanks for your patience)
Any thoughts on why I can't go back to the old stock rom? Is there no backward compatibility?
And: Any way to restore SMS messages and contacts from the old stock rom to the new CM rom (if AppExtractor doesn't work).
Thanks in advance

Of course you can't restore contacts, TW format and AOSP are not compatible. Also nandroid done with CWM 2xxx isn'restorable with CWM 5xxx or 6xxx.
Also forget Titanium Backup for any system apps or files. Not gonna work with Cyanogenmod. Every OP warns about that.
The best way is to flash your old GB with odin, then SpeedMod kernel, restore your nandroid, export contacts to SD card (in contacts app in menu) and backup SMS with app "SMS backup & restore" by Ritesh Sahu.
I have described all here:

Partial answer
Found a partial answer to the first question in the FAQ of this post:

So it would seem that the only way back would be to get the stock Gingerbread (I have a copy of a file that appears to be the rooted Samsung Kernel)
[Additional thanks to tetakpatak for his reply whilst I was posting this - it seems that the article I linked above is the same one quoted in tetakpataks reply]
Realistically though, I'm not sure I could be bothered with going back to stock.
So now to the recovery of contacts and SMS messages.
Thanks again

Don't worry. I hope you know which GB did you use before. At least you must know which SpeedMod kernel did you have so if you now just flash a fairy similar GB like you used before and the same SpeedMod kernel, you will be able to restore your nandroid backup so you will have all your data back.

Thanks for the suggestions and apologies for the delay in replying.
I don't know the Gingerbread version - didn't think I'd be going back to it!
I appreciate you taking the time to follow up on this, but I'm going to park this issue and learn a simple lesson. BACK UP EVERYTHING and do it more than one way!!
Thanks again for the help and suggestions
I have tried this numerous times still no result.
Cm 10.1.3 works perfectly fine. But once i flash it with my Titanium backup update.zip file. There will be errors, and after i reboot it, it iwll just get stuck at the spinning blue circle. I have tried everything, from apps+data to only app data. Nothing works.
I would have to factory reset and reflash it again.
I use clockworks mod recovery.
My phone is a odin rooted Galaxy S3 Lte (i9305)

use recovery to flash roms not TB, its much more reliable.. i think the problem is because of apps and data you trying to restore with the update.zip. i know you use tb because you want to restore your apps+data easily while flashing new rom, but tb seems to give problems with this method

Nah, i didnt flash my rom with tb, i flashed it with recovery. Then once everything was done, i would go back into recovery and flash the update.zip file

yes i see, but that seems to be the problem ''restoring apps, data with tb'' and from what i know it occurs that this sometimes gives errors, fc's and bootloops like in your case

So is there no way to go through with this? Maybe export my backups to another software or something? or am i supposed to start fresh?

you could try to export your backups (only data) to pc temporary and after having flashed the rom with full wipe, install the apps again and put the backups manually in corresponding directories and see how that is gonna work out. I gave up on TB because of this problem and usually i always start fresh with new flashed roms. I only put my personal files on pc and put it back manually after rom install.

Thanks so much, I dont really need all my apps to be backed up, just important ones, has the manual method worked out for you?

yes, most of the times works fine but cant guarantee it will work with every app, i guess has something to do with permissions i.m.h.o
