Hi, I have an issue that I haven't been able to find an answer for yet and am looking for some help...
I'm running CM7-RC1. I wiped Cache and Dalvik-Cache and then flashed SavagedZen-0.1.2-CFS-HAVS-WiMAX-GB-signed using RA-supersonic-v2.3. Afterwards all my downloaded apps were missing...they were no longer in my sd-ext folder. So I Nandroid restored and flashed the kernel without wiping yet the same thing happened. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to prevent it? Thanks in advance!

I've been rooted since summer and when I flashed from Frost to VaelPak, it wouldn't go. I couldn't restore a nand backup either. It just stayed in a bootloop. I've also tried Fresh and Ava-Froyo. I've had all these working in the past. The only think I can flash is myn-OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5-DEODEXED. I've unrooted and re-rooted twice with no change in behavior. I have full root with nandroid. Anyone with a clue? I've been searching for similar problems without any luck.
Are you clearing system data and all caches between flashes? Also, questions should go in the appropriate forum.
Wrong thread. This belongs in Q & A.
System, cache and dalvik caches are being wiped each time. Mods - move this as needed if this is not the right forum.
so i have been using CM7 RC1 w/ stock kernel for a while now, without any issues. i was reading up and wanted to try the new incredikernel though, for the governor rather than using setcpu/juice defender for increased battery life.
so i did a titanium backup, then in Clockwork did a full backup before i started messing with anything. i then mounted to computer to put the kernel on the SD card. i did this, but was confused where to actually put the .zip file so that CW would see it. SD card or internal memory? i've had this issue before.
anyway, i didn't find the .zip when i booted into recovery, so i went to re-mount to USB to move it over to the other directory, and everything seized up on me. trying to mount USB basically froze my phone. re-booting did not fix, when i try to go into CM settings or try to mount USB same freezing would happen.
OK fine, i just did a nandroid backup so i figured it wasn't a big deal since i haven't actually made any changes yet and so i restored. then it would not boot. got stuck at the CM7 bootloader. ****. so i tried an earlier restore point, from a few months ago. that worked (also CM7-RC1 when i first put it on). i didn't wipe cache/dalvik when i tried the first time, so i wiped now and then tried to restore the most recent backup again. still, no luck.
so i've been living with the older restore trying to get everything how it was before. another note, i had installed a battery meter (RC1 did not come with one), and when trying to flash this, got stuck at the same bootloader screen again. another thing to note is that i have been updating CW to the latest version when it is available, but all versions are 3.xx. the latest i think i went from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.0.8. just trying to include as much info as possible here...
any ideas? it's frustrating because i haven't actually been installing anything new. at this point i just want my phone the way it was, i.e. getting the latest restore point to work. it won't, but older restore versions will work. did CW mess up the backup, is it corrupt? is this a CM7 issue or CW? help please!
if this is in the wrong forum, apologies, it wouldn't let me post in the dev thread due to lack of posts.
Did you do a complete wipe before trying to restore your backups? In recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, system, data and cache.

i did not do that before. i just tried though, and same result. stuck in CM7 boot loop.
wtf happened to my backup!
That happened to me once. Try this. Save everything on your sd card to your computer. Reformat card. Then put just the nandroid back on card. It might help.
Yeah sounds like it may be an issue with the SD card or your backup..

Hi all,
Would really appreciate your help! I'm a nOOb and may have bricked my phone. I rooted and installed a LeeDroid Froyo Rom last year, updated this recently to LeeDrOiD V3.0.2 GB. I got brave today and attempted to change this to RCMix S v1.3 (Sense 2.1+3.0mix) but now my phone is stuck on the HTC Bootscreen.
The process I followed was the same as when installing LeeDroids ROMs:
I backed up my apps
Re-partioned my SD card - 512md using ROM Manager
Used ROM Manager to boot to recovery
Factory re-set
Re-installed ROM Manager
Copied the new ROM zip file to the SD Card
Used ROM Manager to boot to recovery
Installed the new ROM which installed correctly ("Congrats, successful installation, re-boot and enjoy ..." or similar word to that effect)
Re-booted
But now it's frozen on a permanent HTC logo bootscreen.
I would greatly appreciate any help you can offer, or a link to the solution if there is one that may have been requested and solved before, I've spent an age searching the forums but can not find a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Karl
sounds like you didnt wipe the dalvik cache.
I would drop the battery out, replace and boot into recover, wipe data factory reset, wipe dalvik and go for another install.
Can you confirm if you did the above?
edit: oh and i dont know if its made a differance but when i install a new rom, i transfer to the SD card then, wipedata, wipe cache and then install as opposed to booting the phone after wiping data
Before flashing you always have to do a full wipe.
Your systemdata and apps can backed up by Titanium Backup. The backup don't get deleted by the wipe. After flashing the new rom (and eventually re-downloading/re-installing Titanium Backup you can restore all systemdata and apps by "Menu>Batch>Restore missing systemdata and apps".
First tip for the future: Always make a complete nandroid before every flash. If there are problems with your new system, you a running system anyway.
Second: When go from sense-rom to a non-sense-rom (or reversed), you must not restore system data, only the apps. Otherwise there can be heavy problems with your system.

Cheers Vis-tec,
Yeah, it was the dalvik cache, I did exactly what you suggested and it worked perfectly. Never heard of dalvik cache before but wiping it did the job.
Thanks again,

Thanks MatDroid,
Good tip about the system data when moving between sense and non-sense roms - I would have found that out the hard way for sure!
I know nothing about nandroid so I'll start reading up on it!
Thanks again,
Karl

Another good tip, I assumed that the wipe would delete the back-up, or to be more precise, I was unsure where it backed up the data/apps to. So I uploaded to Dropbox using the Dropbox feature in Titanium Backup ... this takes an age so it's good to know that the backup doesn't get deleted by the wipe for future rom changes!
Thanks again,

Try using RaRecovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839621
It's the recommended recovery for RCMix S. I got stuck in splash because of CWM.
Hey ,
I wouldn't consider myself a "noob" when it comes to flashing and the rooting of android but I seem to have encountered a issue a can't resolve.
A few days ago i flashed the cm9 rom , decided i didn't like it and re-stored back back to AOKP. After restoring franco's kernal was then gone. So i went and wiped the phone and re-flashed the rom and kernal. After re-booting the phone gets stuck on a bootloop and will not boot up from anything except my backups in clockwork. I have wiped the phone , cache and delvik.
Any other idea's what to do to fix this?
Thanks chaps,
J
Format system in recovery. It's under mounts and storage. Along with data and cache.
Obviously then flash a ROM of your choice.

And not restoring system data from a different rom on top of another also prevents conflicts.
Well i wiped dalvik cache and cache only and now stuck on sasmung logo?? How much time davlik need for rebuilding or I need to restore all backup (waited 15min and nothing)? The all backup restore didnt work too...So factory reset is next right?
The factory reset worked but when restoreing backup its the same thing. Pls help where could be the problem in backup (system,boot,data...)
Stock rom CWM persus kernel

Really no idea, maybe some file corrupted.
You can use odin pc to install stock rom. After successfully reboot then root it and do restore again.
Good luck.

What do you want to restore? Did you already have Perseus kernel when you did the nandroid backup?
How did you made backup?
:*: Neebi :*:

Yes the persus kernel was instaled when i did nandroid, I used cwm backup to external card, tried to restore one by one but when restoring data i get stuck. I whant to restore everything, thats way I did backup before wipeing dalvik. So only left is flash stock root and try again?
Which error message do you have? Did you move or rename your backup?
Try to go to advanced settings and restore data only.
No error just stuck at boot logo, I tried every combination with system,boot,data restore but nothing, then I restored eariler backup without persus kernel in it and it worked (reverted back to stock kernel) then instaled persus again and its all fine now :good: Do you think there is some problem with backuping when persus kernel is installed?
I didnt now that factory reset with cwm doesnt erase sd internal so I have everthing back in place. Tnx everyone
Nice :good:
I know that we can have some issues when we try to restore a nandroid created from another kernel but nothing special but the Perseus kernel.
But AFAIK there is less problems with TWRP than CWM so it's possible that your problem is a recovery one and your custom kernel doesn't matter. Just try TWRP and let me know
EDIT
Factory reset only erases /data and /cache folders
I tried with TWRP and no problem with backup or restore :good: tnx
