I'm aware ill need sprint apps back in place for the OTA to work (and no I'm not waiting for an update.zip, I kinda wann "pop my cherry", so to speak). So I'm just gonna restore my root-only di18 nandroid backup.
My question is about restoring data once on 2.2. Will a /data nandroid restore work? If not, will the adb method of restoring nandroid /data (picking and choosing) work?
If neither of those, then I'm assuming titanium backup?
Lol is anything compatible?

Nadroid restore will not work you need to have the default recovery, so you can either go through the work of ODINing your phone to stock or wait less than a day to have a flashable .zip of the update.
No I'm not on dk28 I don't need to odin anything...and of course I'll restore the stock recovery, I meant once I have clockwork on 2.2

Doing an advanced recovery data should work i think i hope maybe

You.might have some problems restoring.data going from different android versions? I haven't done it myself to know for sure. But you might have some trouble with that.

Honestly your best bet is to wait. What are you gonna do if the ota blocks root? I've seen it with my evo where you have to use the ruu of a older version before you root it. Ruu for htc is like odin for samsung. Don't be impatiant. The day ota drops I'm sure that same day xda devs will have something a couple hours after

I have been using the syndicate rom for months to perfection, love it. But I was using the wifi tether and suddenly my phone restarted. After it booted up the sms, google talk and email app will not work; I open them and they force close all the time.
What can I do?
Thanks.
restore a backup or reflash.. and post in the correct section
Moved to Q&A. And wipe data to fix it.
Thanks.
Sorry for not posting in the correct area.
I reflashed the rom and it syill gives me the problem. Guess I will have to wipe then reflash the rom?
If I do a rom backup, and restore that one, will I have the same errors?
Yes... Happen to me twice... Make backups weekly is your only hope. It reboots and nothing work again. After two reboot more it stops in the acs loading screen
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
that happened to me too. what fixed it for me was to odin to dk28 and use a rom from there im still using truly epic rebirth for dk28 and haven't even thought of switching to and eb13 or ec05 rom
Acs backs up data when you reflash, and puts it back on.. therefore returning the corrupt data.. so you have to wipe data before reflashing or you'll be in the same boat. I always format system and data before flashing a rom just to make sure. Do regular nandroid backups and mybackup root or titanium backups if you are going to run a no journals rom

Thanks to all.
I fixed it.
I had to boot into CWM and fix permissions there. What I don't get is that I did the "fix permissions" through Rom Manager...so what's the difference?
If that didn't work then I would've had to wipe/reflash.
Hope this helps someone else with the same problem.
Rom manager doesn't work with the epic.

This. It is still currently trash. Don't even bother.
I should know this but I haven't tried it. Can I make a backup of my current SRF1.2 ROM via CWM, flash an EG22 rom and if I decide to go back to Froyo simply restore my CWM backup of SRF1.2?
Thanks
yes

youll still have the eg22 modem, which will work, but you can odin just the ec05 or whatever modem you want back...
Well, for the most part yes. I do a ton of testing and I have gotten Google Services Framework errors on occasion when restoring a nandroid specifically after being on Gingerbread. It seems totally random though and if you aren't constantly changing setups like I am, you may not have this happen to you

I always have 2-3 nandroid backups to switch between different roms etc. Been back and forth between EC05 based roms and EG22 w/plus kernel like 4-5 times this week alone, and no issues.

I keep 3 or 4 nandroid backups myself. Perhaps its due to the absurd amount of testing I do that it catches up to me (sometimes 4 to 5 times changing setups in a day) that it catches up to me. Its not likely but it is a possibility.

Hey John, with all the switching around and flashing, what method are you using for restoring apps and data? cwm advance nandroid restore or titanium backup or both?
I've been on srf exclusively but with all the cool new gb roms I'm itchin to play around. Also what is your current favorite new rom?

I never restore data from one ROM on to a different ROM. I always do a clean install of apps and such. What I do is flash a ROM, get all of my apps added, set it up exactly how I want it then make my nandroid. Now, when I do restore data I do it through CWM Recovery Advanced/Restore Data Only. I do that (for example) if I install SRF 1.2 fresh then restore data from a SRF nandroid. Now people do restore data only from one ROM to another and don't have problems. I just can't test thoroughly that way because it could be app conflict causing an error. I wouldn't recommend restoring data from a Froyo ROM onto Gingerbread though. Now my Favorite ROM??? Wow that's tough. On Froyo; (in no specific order) SRF 1.2, Urban Regeneration, and ERA ReVolt. On Gingerbread its a ROM that isn't out yet...CompKid's upcoming EG22 release is going to be a big hit. They are all good though. You really have to try them and see what works best for you

I created a backup using CWM 3.1.0.1 (from rooted EC05). I then flashed one of the new roms, and today wanted to go back, so i booted into 3.1.0.1 and did the restore (from cw). Now the phone boots up to the Samsung screen and sits there. What am I doing wrong? Sorry if this has already been asked, I did a search but couldn't find this particular issue. Thanks for any and all help.
both backups were made using 3.1.0.1? and were both made in 3finger recovery? and when you restored you were in 3 finger recovery, not reboot recovery?

I only did 1 backup, not sure what you mean by 3 finger recovery? I booted in CWM (purple) and did the back-up. I then put on the "Bamboozle" rom (and yes, I wiped everything 3x like qb shows in the vid) then installed the rom. I ran it for the past week (loved the rom, but it was eating my battery really bad) so wanted to try a different rom. I thought the easiest way to start was to restore the backup I made, so I booted back into cwm and selected Backup/Restore, Restore, Yes and it ran and said it restored fine. I reboot, but all I get to now is the Samsung screen, no further.

Let me just say, I think I f'ked my phone up. So I gave up trying to restore, just odin'd back to stock (ec 05). Which I then re-rooted and re-installed CWM 3.1.0.1 (I have titanium backups as well). However, now the phone runs really, really slow and when I try to restore apps from titanium it just sits there (in batch mode). Sorry, for being a noob; hey, if nothing else, maybe I'm making someone smile at my dumb a$$. But now, if I can be even more stupid, is there a way to just "reset" the phone, by that I mean put it back to a "true stock" form so I can start over? And then, can I just delete these backups, and roms from the sd card (just hookup to laptop and delete from the sd-card)? I think maybe it'd be easier to just start from scratch again...thanks for the help, I try to keep up with the forums, but so many posts....
What he means by 3 finger is the ONLY way to get into recovery for proper operation. With power off press and hold camera, volume down, and power. Holding all 3 until you see the recovery menu. If you use any other method such as ROM Manager or Quick Boot you will more than likely screw up your phone. Neither application is recommended for recovery operations.

I believe clockwork does not backup the kernel. You may need to install a kernel.

If you backed up on ec05 and installed a gingerbread rom you need to odin back to ec05 and then do the restore. It won't work if you are on different os versions. At least it never has for me.

Wait, did you wipe data/system,cache, and Dalvik Cache then restore your nandroid? I have a SRF 1.2, an Urban Regeneration, and a CM7 nandroid. As long as I wipe everything then restore I have no problems. I have bounced between all three today with no issues

Yeah, the issue was I was running bamboozle (GB leaked rom), so once I odin'd back to EC05, I was able to run the restore without problem. I am now running SRF 1.2 (awesome rom btw) and I was able to restore when trying to install that rom (and the genocide kernel). Thanks for all the helpful answers.

Yeah, I have gotten the dreaded Google Services Framework FC's a couple of times but for the most part I can wipe everything and restore a Froyo setup even when on a Gingerbread ROM. The purp recovery is good like that.

When restoring across different OS versions it is handy to do a Restore>Advanced Restore Data from the Nand backup. There may be the occasional FC if the data format has changed but that usually can be fixed by clearing data of the offending app, especially for Google sevice framework.

Kenny - I did try that as well. I tried everything, I did the "Restore" option like 4 separate times, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache 3 x, even did the Advanced option and went down the list. None of that helped. Now it may be that I just didn't wait long enough, but I figured 4-6 minutes of the "Samsung" screen meant it had stopped responding (I see that all that time in MS apps). I finally odin'd back to stock ec05, re-rooted (and updated back to cwm 3.1.0.1), then I ran the restore (not advanced), and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions on this.

Sometimes our phones can be so finicky. Glad you got it working. Usually when Dalvik is rebuilding it takes awhile at the S screen, so you are correct that 4-6 minutes at Samsung is a cry for help from your phone.

Not true. I always go from froyo to gingerbread with backups. What he Did wrong was not wipe when he tried to restore his back up that's why he got stuck on the Sammy screen. Also if he tried to restore a rfs froyo rom it could've gotten stuck there also since bammbozle was ext4.

You can restore from EXT4 to RFS with advanced restore data nand. He said he tried all of this and still got stuck. But I think you are correct and the first restore attempt borked everything. From there a reflash then advanced restore data should have worked.

So if I understand what you guys said, I should have wiped first (before the initial restore), which I didn't do. When the first restore didn't work, then I did the wipe x3, but it sounds like by that point it was already too late. So should you always wipe before restoring? I only ask, because once I got everything back to a good place I flashed the sfr 1.2. The first attempt caused the phone to boot up with that annoying "Android" screen, so I just booted into CWM and restored. That time I just restored (no wipes, no advanced) and it restored fine. I then re-flashed and all was good. So it seems like you don't always have to wipe x3 before restoring? Thanks btw, all good info for future ref.
hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?
NOTE - everytime i did the restores and flashes, i did do a pre-rom wipe with acs recovery.

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.

so does that mean that i have to go into recovery and repartition the sd card?
update - heres what it says on bootup - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.

Glad u got it up and thanks for the update.
sent from a phone using an app
yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.
