After flashing a new ROM (LeeDrOiD, but I don't think it has anything to do with the ROM itself) and restoring backup, I got a "wrong PIN" message after the first reboot. This was with WidgetLocker installed. So I wiped and did not reinstall WidgetLocker, but it still seems that when I do a restore with Titanium Backup I get a different PIN set after the first reboot. I tried three times yesterday with wipe and less and less settings restored, the last time I haven't dared turning my phone off.
So, does anyone know exactly what setting I should erase from the restore library to avoid getting an unknown PIN set after the first reboot

***IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT BY CLEARING CACHE/DALVIK CACHE AND FLASHING A NEWER VERSION OF THE THE SAME ROM***
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Desire and loaded LeeDroid on a week later. Everything's been fine, until today, when I shut-down my phone and went to turn it back on, and it froze at the Telstra (telco who I bought it from) splash screen.
Here's what I did:
- Power + Vol- + trackball, which resulted in it restarting and freezing at the same point (15 minutes wait)
- Pulled battery and booted into recovery
- NAND Backup using AmonRA
- Restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, and rebooted, which resulted in phone freezing at the same point
- Shut down, removed SD Card, wiped using AmonRA, restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, which enabled it to boot properly
- Restarted and flashed Leedroid Rom from ZIP, which worked fine.
- Restored today's NAND backup, which of course brought everything back to square one.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to access any of the contacts/SMS/etc? I was planning to back-up tonight as I'd put a whole heap of stuff in today, so of course this arvo was when it had to die. That and there's some stuff I'd really like to have that I'm not sure the relevant apps have stored on the SD.
And how can I ensure a clean restore? Run Telstra's RUU, then install LeeDroid as per instructions?
(EDIT) I notice that the NAND backups consist of a bunch of .img files. I imagine that data.img might have what I'm looking for in it. I've tried searching for a way to explore the contents, but I'm still trying to get unyaffs running...
Reflash or wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash.

So you're suggesting I do the following?
- Restore freezing NAND backup
- Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache
- Reflash LeeDroid from zip
Are the contacts all google contacts? If so you can recover those that way.
When you signed in for the first time after flashing the rom, while linking your google account, did you check "backup this phone to google servers"? If so, that should restore things if you wipe all and reflash the rom.
I used this option for the first time, and my wallpaper, shortcuts, alarm settings and SMS all restored after 5 minutes or so.
Unfortunately not. I didn't make the same mistake this time though >_>
Even so, I'm still hoping I might be able to pull some of the stuff out of the NAND backup.
Do you know if it's possible to fake/bypass the md5? If I can swap the data.img from the busted backup to a working one (the one before I put all my contacts in etc) then I should be able to access something.
Unfortunately that brings up an error, and I imagine the checksum is what's doing it.
I'm trying to do a backup of all my apps and user data via Titanium Backup, and it's been stuck on "10% - Bluetooth Pairings" for the last hour, when the last several backups tool less than 15 minutes total. FWIW, I accidentally touched the screen while it was backing up, and it kicked me back to my home screen. Re-running the batch gets me a message saying that it's still in the process of backing stuff up. Everything else seems to work fine, I can go into other apps, but even if I park it in the TB app itself it just seems to be sitting there. I don't have (or like) task killers, but I'm unsure as to what I should do. Would a reboot hurt anything?
I've had this happen to me when I've tried restoring from titanium (I'd click cancel to not reinstall an app and it get sticks there). I have to reboot to get it going again. I'd say give it a reboot and run it again, shouldn't hurt anything.
Reboot your phone, batch delete all backups, and try again.
If it locks up after this, it generally means that your market db is corrupt, see this:

Happened to me this past weekend.

Hello all. So this morning i was looking to flash to Blaze4G modem that Master&Slave has so kindly uploaded for us, and after backing up and wiping cache, i proceeded to flash the modem.
after booting up i had no 4G connection, and trying to mess with APN's resulted in "no data connection" error. I know i've seen this same error over in the developers thread for the Blaze modem, but don't know what i did wrong. some careful combing and reading of the thread should give me solution to the aforementioned problem, HOWEVER this is not the issue i am posting about.
After the failure of the modem, i attempted to restore my nandroid backup via CWM recovery and after a notice "no files found", it proceeded to restore my listed recovery anyways. Upon finishing the recovery and booting up, i was presented with the very same screen that you get when you turn the phone on or flash a new rom the first time, asking me to sign in to my google account, along with an error "SYSTEM UIDs INCONSISTENT" along with an error message that reads "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable" along with a button that says "i'm feeling lucky"
i fortunately have a previous backup, but would like to know how the flying **** this happened, as having a nandroid backup completely fail like this is new to me and makes me very nervous. Had i not had a backup that was a couple days before the newly made one i would be flipping out pretty bad at the moment.
i also forgot to mention that i did click "skip" on setting up a google account in order to get to the home screen and see if it carried over anything, but the phone appears to be reset to stock on my particular ROM with no user apps at all, like i did a system format.
i also checked the nandroid file with "appextractor" from the play market to see if my apps and data were indeed inside, and upon doing an app scan, i found ALL my apps and could have extracted them from the backup if i so desired.
this makes it even more CONFOUNDING that the backup acts like a formatter, this is VERY perturbing to me.
ideas?
i had an issue like this before.
to fix it i ran the darkside superwipe script and then was able to restore my nand backup.

I recently flashed CM12 onto my phone and upgraded to Titanium Backup Pro to backup my apps and data (I also did a Clockwork Mod backup in case of emergency). Everything seemed to go fine until at the end of the restore from TB Pro a system message came up asking if I wanted to change the default messaging app. I couldn't get rid of this message (or get back to TB Pro) no matter how many times I tapped either yes or no on the system message so (reluctanly) I rebooted the phone. I opened TB Pro and found a log which said the restore was complete. I then found that it had restored all the apps but not all the linked accounts, passwords or system settings (it has restored some app settings, like Pocket Informant and Nova even though with Nova I still had to choose to use it rather than the Google option to use it the first time).
I know some people reflash their OS every night so I assume you don't usually have to reconfigure half the phone manually! I'm guessing the stuck message interfered with the restore in some way and so this was just bad luck. Anyone know if there was any reason for the persistent error message about messaging app or if there is anything I could have done to prevent this happening within TB Pro or in general?
Recently I started trying out a few custom nougat roms, and as the title says, if I choose to backup my current rom with TWRP (official 3.0.3), and reboot back to system, the password will have changed and some system settings will be reset (hardware keys swap)
As far as I can tell, data/data still has my app folders in it, so I'm not sure if all the apps are reset too. One thing to note is that the backup size for data partition was only 70mb.
I can't really tell if it was caused by rebooting or initiating the backup process.

Anyone have any ideas?

I can't say anything about your backup,
but this is probably the solution for your password issue.
It is a known issue when restoring rom backups on the OP3.
So far I don't know a fix for this other than following the linked method.
For the future It is best you disable password / fingerprint before making a TWRP backup.
Be careful. It will delete the function of your Home Button (secon methode) and its not able to restore this function. So if youre going to delete the key.files you have the chance to enter the System but also have to go back to oos after back up your files -> the mega unbrick-thread
Its the best way to Backup your files before you restore the whole System if nothing's working.
