Something happen to my backup or something.
I made a nandroid, then tried a diff rom which required a newer TWRP, so I updated from 2.6.33 to 2.7.1 and when I tried to restore, everything said it was ok.
So I booted in, and it was only HTC stuff. No Google stuff whatsoever, or my apps. However, looking into the app section in the settings, I see all my apps! But none have the correct icons, just the placeholders and they were all 0kb, except for a handful which has like 70kb.
I'm not sure what happened...So I went back to TWRP 2.6.33 just to see if it was the version or something, but still, the same thing when restoring. I even tried fix permissions, no go.
Had to start over, but finally got my phone mostly working, but I'm worried about future nandroids. And is this a known issue?
Certainly shouldn't be any issues with nandroids. I think you were just unlucky with a dodgy backup

If you want it to be everything, ie apps, google stuff etc, when you do the nandroid, you need to select everthing in the list, I think it just defaults to backing up boot and system, but you need to manually select everything else, data, cache, recovery etc, you'll see them before you swipe to backup, they're just little check boxes.

I received my phone back a few days ago and I instantly flashed Cyan 5.0.6 test 3.
However I have a really annoying issue where my Market isn't quite 'correct'.
It seems to be missing the 'top paid' tab.
It also takes an age to load the info for any app I click on and the status stays at 'installing' even though it is installed and it will only refresh when I reboot.
I have tried to restore the backed up propriety apps, nandroid backup and restore, flashed a stock rom, flashed cyan 5.0.1
But NOTHING works.
I know the slow market is related to the missing tab, it's like half of the market app hasn't loaded properly.
I had this issue before my phone went off for repair and one day it fixed (I don't know how) but as soon as it did, it performed as it should and it took seconds to load app data and install, it also stated the app was installed.
I suppose what I'm looking for is HOW can I completely reload the Market from scratch?
Thanks guys.

Wow that is so weird... I assume you do wipe/cache/dalvik before flashing a ROM right? Have you tried cyan 5.0.6 yet? If not, give it a try, do the wipe before flash of course, and hope that works... Also, do you have a backup app? like titanium back up or back up pro? Did you set it to auto restore perhaps? Probably just a bad market back up? Thats all I can think about... If it doesnt work, then its beyond me brother

Hi Man,
I know it's really bugging me.
I've tried everything including wiping the Dalvik and normal cache.
I think I might try Enomer's ROM to see if that solves it but I can only tether at the moment as we've moved house and I won't have BB back for 2 weeks.
I have Titanium pro installed as I have over 400 apps on my phone!
Hey bro,
Apparently there have been a few reports about the same issue with the market, probably has something to do with the market update. Anyway, try uninstalling the market via titanium if you can that is. And reinstall. Nandroid before doing it.

Hey guys,
I'm new at posting in the forums, so I apologize if I have put this in the wrong section. I read a lot of posts, but this is the first time i have posted a thread, ever. =P
Anyway, I have a Rooted White T-Mobile G1, I was running the somewhat recent build of Roalex's COS-DS ROM, and it started to get really sluggish and I was having a few other problems. (I love that ROM, and he has done a great job, I just felt like a change.) So I went to install Ginger Yoshi 1.4 after doing a nand backup, SD Wipe, and SuperWipe. Once i finished installing the ROM, I rebooted my phone and it started fine and everything. Then it asked me to choose which home I wanted... Which was confusing, considering it was a fresh wipe. I should only have 1 Home launcher on there. I realized that I have several apps from past times. (as in, a WHILE ago. I haven't had these apps for over a month easily...) I tried another wipe and install. Still to no avail... I did some searching and I couldn't find anything that could help me. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to explain in some detail. Anyone have any Suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know this rom, but nowadays many roms have a backup functionality included and they are backing up the old (g)apps, flash the rom and re-install (some of) the old apps again.
"Some" because normally there is a list of apps to be backed up and re-installed. If your launcher is on that list and the rom has a different one pe-installed you then have two.
If you want to be sure to get a "clean" installation, use
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
Or flash ohsaka super wipe before flashing the rom.

Sorry, I should have specified, the "SuperWipe" that I mentioned above, is Ohsaka Super Wipe... I have flashed it many times, and reflashed the ROM many times as well... Still having the apps installed. The wierdest part of it all, is that they don't seem to be using my sd card space OR internal space, almost as if they are somehow from the EXT4 partition I have, and they never got erased... The odd thing is, is that I never figured out how to move stuff to EXT, so there shouldn't be anything on there...
My guess would be that these "old" apps were downloaded originally from the market. If you are registering the phone with the same account you were using before, the market will download and install all the apps again from the market.

Well the reason it couldn't be that, is that I actually don't have a data plan. I always skip sign in, and then enable WiFi. So the apps wouldn't be able to download until after I was signed in to my account. Yet, they are there right when I start :/
This is a very odd, occurance. Haha. Thanks you two for your responses though.

The principal of out school turned in her Tab 7 inch, they no longer want to pay $60 a month for 3G thats slower then a 14.4 dial-up!
It was given to out Tech Department and I snagged it to play with.
OK first thing, it's FC'ing on various apps. I decided to factory restore the unit by booting into Samsung's recovery and wiping the data and and clearing the cache.
This reset it but our principals gmail is still on the phone. It's the primary account. I can NOT get it to delete.
I found a thread here with a official Samsung flashing tool. This one:
Sprint_Galaxy_Tab_EA24_Flasher.zip
It seems to have worked, it got the device back to EA24. However when I reboot, it's FC'ing even more and the principals gmail is still there.
Well, it now sees an update called: EB28
It downloads it then boots into recovery and nothing more happens. No option to update, flash etc.
Also now EVERY TIME I restart/reset this device its like it's been factory reset, all the apps I installed are GONE, my Wi-Fi is GONE, and it FC's like crazy.
Contracts done on this phone so Sprints not going to do anything. Help! I'd like to get Gingerbread on this.
Thanks!
Wow, no one has one of these or has any advice?
Some updates on things I've noticed.
Well, previous to my original post, I was STOCK, non-ROOTED. This morning I used Roddricks guides to flash to ROOT with CWM via Odin.
It seems to have worked OK, I have root and I'm on the stock ROOTED Gingerbread but I STILL had all the default Google accounts. I booted back into CWM and did a complete data wipe and installed CM7. That worked too however when I booted it immediately said NOOK had forced closed...? OK, well I ignored that and installed a couple .apk's I had on my memory card and changed my wallpaper. Then I rebooted into Recovery again and flashed the Google Apps. Upon rebooting I saw no google apps and my wallpaper and installed apps were GONE. I was back to stock CM like it was just installed.
Now keep in mind I had done a FULL wipe to everything in CWM prior to flashing CM7. I booted the device BACK to the download mode and used Odin to re-flash Roddricks stock ROOT and kernel.
Upon booting the phone I'm back to stock Gingerbread and guess what? The default Google account is BACK and so are the two pre-added wireless networks.
WHY IN THE HELL WON'T THIS THING WIPE and why does it keep resetting to just installed defaults when I reboot.
I see I am not the only person with this issue. Someone else made a thread just the other day saying their 7 inch Tab resets on reboot too.
Can someone give us some pointers? In my case I can install custom ROM's but I have to set everything back up EVERY TIME I reboot? Come on, that's not [email protected]#@[email protected]#$
Firstly, it sounds like you're not actually doing the right kind of wipe. You want factory reset / wipe. Either from recovery or within the stock firmware.
Once you successful do this, all downloaded apps and account settings will be gone.
Next up it seems you're not actually managing to install custom firmware. You'll need to specify more details about what you've done and read carefully what appears on screen and report on it if you want useful advice.

I've done the factory reset from stock firmware, I've done the factory reset from CWM 4 and 5.
I've manually wiped from adb using rm -R and rm -rf for /dbdata /system /cache /data, all of which appear to be wiped and then doing an "ls" reports the directors are GONE.
Then I flashed stock GB stock rom, booted up and guess what? My default gmail and wirless networks were STILL there.
Adb'ed back after a root'ed kernel and manually went into the folders and deleted EACH file, then backed out and deleted the folders. Rinse, wash and repeat with the ROM and guess what? default Googles still there along with the Wireless.
Also one thing to note is that with every one of these wipes, boots, flashes etc, lets say I setup the Tab and install a couple apps, add my wireless, change my wallpaper etc, when I reboot, it's ALL gone. The Tab's back to default fresh like I just flashed.
Spent like an hour with Rodderik in the #gtab channel trying to figure this out.
Ok. I believe you.
I still can't rationalize what is happening there. One thing you can trust about computers is they do what they are told. However, sometimes it's hard to understand what you've told then to do.
Kies knows how to restore user state. It's also somewhat evil in terms of still running when you've quit it. Make sure Kies is not running.

Is it possible some settings got backed up to the SD and are auto-restoring? Honestly haven't used my tab in a while so I'm not even sure this is an option. Maybe try clearing dalvik?

sounds like somehow you may have a read only nand mode going on...strange haven't heard of this problem with the samsung its quite popular with the dell streak 7....in the dell streak 7 many people have to send it back to dell to repair it no other way... as for it on the samsung like i said never heard of the problem but if you can't reset properly or everything reverts to a state upon reboot then you may have whats called read only mode basically anything you install change add once you reboot the device it erases everything you did to it....from what i have read its a failsafe in linux try reading a few of the dell streak 7 problems with read only mode it may help in understanding and maybe finding a solution good luck. then again i may be wrong but just what you described sounds similar.
I would just load a new rom like overcome gbsafe_v5

same same same issue bro with my tab too its p100 too any solution's???
Ok, it finally happened to me. I have no idea what I did. I unlocked the bootloader, rooted the phone (left the stock ROM), installed TWRP, and rebooted successfully several times. Then, I installed Titanium to restore apps from my EVO LTE. Once those were done restoring, I rebooted, and it is stuck at the first "quietly brilliant" screen.
I am able to access TWRP ("boot into recovery"?), and tried wiping everything, but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks all!
Ok, sorry, I freaked out, I figured out how to flash the RUU and get myself working again:

That can happen if you're restoring system apps and settings from a different phone or different ROM. The old data usually conflicts with the new ROM/phone and causes lock-ups, bootloops, etc. You should be ok if you're just restoring your old downloaded apps and data.

Ahh, figured it was something like that. I tried sticking to just restoring my Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth pairings as well as a couple of other less system-oriented apps. This worked for me going from my old EVO 4G to my EVO LTE, so I didn't think I would have a problem. I just made a nandroid backup so at least I can just re-flash that and not lose anymore time.
What is the best way to backup so after I do anything I can get back?
TWRP or CWM, can we even do CWM on this phone?
TWRP is just fine. Does a great job.
But if you're addicted to installing a lot of ROM's and want to backup apps and their saves/settings, I would recommend Titanium Backup (if you're rooted). Easy to dump all your apps the way they were on any new set up.

I think Titanium Backup is kinda borked now. At least one of the ROM developers explicitly says not to use it, and two times I tried using it with Note 4, it was extremely frustrating. It would perform a backup just fine, but while restoring it would get stuck on this app or that. So you had to reboot after every 3-5 apps restored. Some of the restored apps would not work and had to be uninstalled and reinstalled. Others reported corrupted ROMs.
On one of recent app sales I got My Backup Pro for free. It seems to have some of the same functionality. I will give it a shot next time I am changing ROMs.
Not 100% sure. But it looks like you can do cwm:

I haven't seen anything. I have had a few paused on me but I would close it and restart to finish the left overs. Back on the Note 3, we had the same problem on a few devices. Some has tried the TB Fixer. Dont know if it'll work on the Note 4.
