After rooting my phone with Unrevoked, I accidentally wiped my phone's internal memory through HBOOT (volume key was more sensitive than I anticipated and moved down below recovery right before I hit select.) I reinstalled everything and all is working fine, except Foursquare. I try to log in and it says "Foursquare is down, try again later." I verified that I have the proper password/username and a data connection. I have reset the phone, reinstalled foursquare, and deleted all the app data from the settings window. What can else can I do to obliterate any traces of the app to try and start fresh? I'm comfortable with using ADB.
You could use Titanium to unistall, reboot and then re-install Foursquare. If you don't reboot in between changes don't seem to take.

When I look in the the "Downloads" section of the Market app, it shows 3 apps constantly installing even though they aren't and they are not on the top of the list. They are Titanium Backup, AutoKiller, and XDA Developers. I can use these apps without issue. When I try long pressing any of these items, only an the option "Details" pop up and going to the page is also useless. I tried uninstalling Titanium Backup to see if it would get rid of it but it doesn't and now I cannot reinstall Titanium Backup since I cannot cancel the false installation! Shutting off the phone and reflashing my Rom does not help. If I need to wipe may I have the Titanium apk so I can adb install it to my phone?
Edit: Never mind I fixed it.
So, my GVoice app stopped working about a week ago. It would just crash on load. I went to clear the cache for it, and it was at 1.17GB. It wouldn't clear, I couldn't delete it with temproot. I renamed the folder, and that fixed it. The data is still there though.
The next day I went into my app management, and my browser, facebook, and a couple other apps have around 500-800MB. Again, I hit clear data/clear cache, it doesn't give me an error, but it also doesn't clear it.
Any idea whats going on? This happening to anyone else? I have run the cache cleaner from recovery as well. I just updated tot he new OTA, problem is still there. Everything seems to run fine though.
Sounds like something you did in one of your applications or in the settings is "Protecting" the cache. My best suggestion when all else fails is backup using titanium backup and then do a restore to factory settings and data in both bootloader and in recovery. Backup the sd card and wipe it as well, then just put personal data back to your sd card and restore with titanium, and all problems should be resolved
Hi,
I was just trying out a few ROMs, and after flashing CyanogenMod (The stable release, can't remember the exact name) and then doing a full wipe and restoring my LeeDroid Nandroid backup, I ran into a bit of a kerfuffle...
After booting up, I was greeted with blank homescreens - which was a bit annoying, but nothing too bad - and so went to get started on repopulating them.. only to find hardly any apps were present. I put this down to some of them not having synced yet, until I noticed that even system apps were missing; Market, Music etc - not a single downloaded/sideloaded app is present. They appear under the "Manage Applications" section of the Settings menu but only Data and Cache are present, not the Application themselves.
I reflashed the Nandroid backup again (and again), and was met with the same, only Astro File Manager had miraculously appeared so I could at least install some apps from my SD Card using that. So after installing the Market and Root Explorer from there, I could see that the System Apps were infact there, but required manual installation. I can't even re-download all of the lost Apps, as even attempting to select one in the Market leads to a force close.
I can effectively do nothing, except use the tiny array of Apps that are actually there, which at least does include Messaging and Phone. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this, or a partial-solution at least?
Thanks
Ok, just as I finished typing this the Factory Reset finished and everything loaded. It seems everything is working now, but still, I'm just left with System Apps and with no sign of my other apps syncing/downloading.
After the wipe factory reset did you do nandroid install again straight after?

Yeah, and the same happened again. I tried various nandroids from all sorts of ROMs, and I would just get the same, even restoring the Stock ROM.
That said, the thread may as well be closed, I just went and did everything manually and everything's fine now. It took many hours, but it's in a usable state now.
i expect u will face the same problem soon as long as ur apps list will grow and be installed on ur device, this is a big issue i faced and still experimenting to get the best solution for, but currently the most effective cure is to mount ur sd card to a card reader, and go to the folder android_secure, cut some bunch of files ther(maybe half of them) and past to ur desktop, mount back the sd to ur device, ur phone will bahave normally now, this will work great after ur nandroid backup, when u see it work, try again the previous step and start to add files to android_secure folder from ur desktop, untill the bad behaviors start to occur.
hope this will help
I was rooted, had Philz CWM recovery, agni kernel and xposed. Everything worked fine, I used to get forced reboots when the system heated up but it was nothing new, everything worked like it used to after reboot.
Since just today I changed to "winter 3d LWP" which is mildly graphics intensive, didnt experience any lag.
Then when I pressed the home button sometime later that day, the 3d wallpaper stretched across and after sometime, phone rebooted but was stuck in loop this time. just to make sure i accessed philz recovery mode and rebooted from there. It took some time for the system to boot but everything was reset to default, all the app data and phone settings were reset excluding the data I manually put there, which seemed like the dalvik cache was wiped or something. So i accessed the recovery mode again and rebooted since i couldn't find anything that would help.
But after boot i got the same interface, it asked me to login to dropbox and asked to login and stuff which I already did after the app data was automatically wiped the first time.
Is this some philz recovery glitch?
Any possible way I can get the data back? Not possible though but anything will be appreciated since this is the third time I'm losing my data. It's tough to recover from that situation.
Normally this won't happen for the reboot problem you can try to change the agni settings by using the default oc setting for cpu and gpu.
And try to take backup of your app data through any backup apps like Tb so next time something happens you can at least restore everything
And also do a nandroid backup always.
please press the thanks button if i helped
I don't really tinker with any clock settings. Exynos here gets heat up easily.
Do I have to take a nandroid backup and another backup parallel to it? Or just nandroid would do?
I need to export backup directly to external storage excluding SD card. I have OTG, would that work with external hdd for import?

nandroid backup will take the complete backup of you phone including apps, data, efs, modem, etc. its like a emergency restore of the full phone.
and try to take a backup through TB so you can even restore only the data of the apps in some cases.
regarding OTG i think it can be, anyway you can try it.
Hi guys, got a tough one here that's a combo of hardware and human error.
My old HTC One M7 started not being recognized at all when plugged into a PC. It would charge, but the PC would not recognize anything as attached. Not even an unknown device. On the phone, USB debugging is enabled, but there's no prompt for changing connection type. At the same time, Google photo suddenly became corrupted. It first prompted that Photos is corrupt and for me to reinstall the app. Upon reinstallation, it would get stuck at "getting photos", before eventually crashing to the original prompt, saying Photos need to be reinstalled. Uninstalling/reinstalling, wiping cache/dalvik cache, and finally factory reset wouldn't fix either issue. I went on and wiped the System thinking I had a working nandroid backup. But I forgot I had deleted it to save space. So as of now, the M7 has TWRP 2.8.3 running perfectly, but no OS. Did I basically brick my phone, since there doesn't appear to be a way to push a ROM onto the phone?
