Its actually my bf's phone. It was doing just fine about 30 minutes before. Then, his sister sent him a text, then she text me about 5 minutes later saying it wouldn't send. I tried several times, and it says sending on my phone, and eventually message failure. I reinstalled cm7-111 (clearing cache and all that), rebooted twice, and nothing. 1 hour later, it finally started sending them! what's wrong? Something always seems to go wrong after he switches roms. I've only had cm7 on my dinc, installing updates fairly often. No problems whatsoever. I'm extremely cautious with mine! Lol. How do we keep this from happening? Is there something he should be doing that he might've forgot about when switching roms? I know he backed up with titanium pro.

Did he restore data? You need to install with full wipe and not restore system app and data. Restoring apps with titanium is fine.

FWIW, I use TB too. I always restore apps and app data, but not system data, with no trouble.
It might be worth double checking to make sure the phone is still "programmed": dial *228 and select Option 1. Let it reboot completely and then check it again.
Thanks!

When I go into market and select my apps, I get this error:
A server error has occured. Retry,or cancel and return to the previous screen.
I tried clearing data, but still does the same.
Anybody ever have this problem, anybody know a way to fix this?

Did you also clear cache for the Market app? Have you tried using a different internet connection, i.e., switch from 3G to WiFi or vice versa? Have you rebooted and reestablished your connection? Maybe use CWM to reset permissions? Backup the app, then uninstall/reinstall?
Try those (probably that order is "easiest" to "biggest pain in the butt") and see if one of 'em works.
If none of that works, what system changes have you done since the last time you successfully used Market and My Apps? Did you apply any patches, switch kernels, install a whole new ROM?
Yeah I tried all that. I was taking out the new market and putting back the old. After I did that I cleared data, and problem started. I restored my backup and it still gave me that problem. How I fixed it was backing up my apps with titanium backup, formatting all data in clockwork. And re-signing in to my google account, then batch restore all apps only in titanium backup. Only restoring data on certain apps.
Everything is back to normal, I believe it had something to do with getting messed up on googles end. Everything is good now.

I've been running ACS 1.2 Frozen for a while, with the Genocide kernel and LauncherPro. I've been planning to update to an EI22 ROM for a while, but before I started messing around I wanted to backup what I have now.
So I powered down, booted up into CWM (purple), and did a backup. Then when I restarted, all I got were FCs. The really aggravating thing is that LauncherPro FCs so I can't really get to anything else.
All I did was run a backup! Anyone else seen this? Got any ideas on how to get stability back?
Luckily the backup ran successfully, but if this is what I get just from RUNNING a backup, I don't have a lot of confidence that I'd be stable after RESTORING a backup.
Something happened, may have been related to journaling and the shut down. Did you have journaling enabled? You can do a factory data reset to clear the errors and try an advanced data restore from the nand but if the errors happened before the backup started then it is corrupted too. Do you have any other backups? Titanium? If you clear the errors enough to get into settings, clear data in your launcher and Google Service Framework, then any other app that is FCing.
I did have journaling enabled, yes. I wasn't getting any errors before the backup, but if the shutdown caused them, well I'm a bit stuck. No recent Titanium backups unfortunately.
Thanks for the things to try!

At that point you got nothing to lose. If the restore has the FCs too then Factory Data reset will nuke the data errors, you will lose 3rd party apps, have to set up email again, and your contacts (stored on Google) will be restored as well as the list of apps downloaded from the market (eventually the list will be populated). But your phone will be usable again.
In case you havent tried it, wipe cache and dalvic from CWM. I would try that before wiping everything.

So this is interesting -- it seems like something about my SD card has gotten busted in the backup.
I did a restore of the backup I made, it's identical to where I was at after the backup, but when I hit Home it asked me to choose LauncherPro or TWLauncher. Choosing TWLauncher at least gets me some functionality.
So I did that and noticed that NONE of the apps on my SD card show up anymore. A clue towards resolution without full wipe?
Yup, after more investigation I'm sure of it. Running the CWM backup broke all the apps stored on my SD card. I didn't make any changes other than running the backup, and after restarting all those apps no longer show up.
Backup your sd card on a computer, format it in the phone and restore. That should make it work again. Then you will have to reinstall the apps that were there. Sometimes launchers take more than 5 minutes to reload apps on the sd card. Did you wait long enough?

Hey guys i backed up all my data with my backup pro before upgrading my e4gt to fd24 and now i cant get it to run. it keeps force closing on opening and i need my data!
Can anyone please help me?
Did you clear cache/data in app management?
(and I assume make sure the app is up to date, try reinstalling from the market...)

No, I mean go in app management, where you see the details of each application, clear cache/data there. (of this app specifically)
Also, like mentioned previously, TB works well for some kinds of data recovery. What is it specifically that you need? (ps, take a deep breath. remember, with Android, nothing is truly lost on a clean install, except sms/mms, and app passwords that need them.)

Sorry, at work, typing on my phone, can't do a walk through. I'm sure one of our better members will step up to the plate. (did you uninstall, reinstall?)
But no, TB will no recognize MBP archives.

Mine works fine, except that when the restore process is finished, it locks up the phone and I get a blue LED. However, once I uninstalled and redownloaded from the Market, I had no problems.
Make sure you are restoring the same way you backed up... APP, Data, or App + Data.
Update The likely culprit appears to be an app called Velis Auto Brightness. A little over three weeks after this problem first arose, I switched my ROM to Dandroid. In deciding what apps gradually to add back, I ran across comments like the following for Velis:
Cannot press install from an APK Found a bug that needs fixing. With this app enabled for some reason installing from an APK it renders the Install button useless but the cancel button still works. As soon as I disabled this App, the Install button worked again.

Nice, but one slight issue I really like this app. Very useful and easy to use. My only issue is that when the app is active, if I turn off system auto brightness and try to raise the brightness, Velis overrides this and forces auto brightness.

Since yesterday, I cannot install apps, neither from the Play Store, Amazon, nor side-loading. The install process begins, but when I get to the screen that offers a choice between "Cancel" and "Install" pressing "Install" does nothing. I can, however, cancel out.
Thinking that installing a trial version of Cerberus may have caused the problem, I first disabled then uninstalled it. Neither solved the problem. I then disabled XPrivacy, also without success. (I restarted the phone each time before trying.)
Yes, "Unknown sources" is checked.
Any thoughts?
TIA.
Are you rooted?
Rom/kernel?
How much space do you have left? Anything else ypu may have done prior to installing Cerberus?

Doc, thanks for your interest. Here are the answers to your questions.
Rooted.
Stockorama version 2 (no change in the last month or more)
T99UVDMD5 (no change in the last month or more)
3.031-112078 [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 15 11:59:10 KST 2013 (no change in the last month or more)
12.85GB available (32GB model) If it matters, I also have an external 64GB SanDisk sdcard that sporadically cannot be read. Rebooting generally again makes it available. Although I live with this, I'd appreciate any thoughts on this as well. But the no-install problem is more pressing.
Regarding the installation of Cerberus, to be more accurate I opened, configured, and ran it yesterday for the first time. According to my AppBrain timeline, I installed it on June 7th.
Try this,
Uncheck unknown sources, reboot, recheck and try installing something.
If it doesn't help, shut down, remove the sdcard, power on and try again.
If this doesn't help, use Titanium backup or a similar app and backup any important apps and data (contacts, sms, etc)(also I find it good to export contacts to sd from the contacts app itself), then boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
Next reflash your rom, wiping cache and dalvik (not factory reset). Reboot and try it out. If its still a problem, factory reset, then try again. If this solves it then start restoring your backed up apps. (Start only with the ones you really need your data restored on, the rest I'd suggest reinstalling clean).
I vaguely recall looking into Cerberus a month or so ago and I don't think it had been recently updated for JB. (I could be remembering wrong though) Before reinstalling it, and providing everything is working, make a new nandroid backup, then you can try it again with an easy, recent restore point.
As for your sdcard, what is it formatted as? Fat32, exFat? You may need to back it up and reformat it. I'd try exFat first since you're using a TW rom. If you plan on flashing CM/AOSP based roms, format as fat32. First try formatting using the phone. If you still have issues, format again on a computer.

After removing the sdcard, I was able to install in the following circumstances:
--online via computer from the Play Store (no need to press "install" on my SGS3).
--online from my phone from the Play Store (two different apps, chosen simply as a test, installed without my being asked to press "install").
But I still am stuck when trying to install apps from Dropbox or my download folder.
Trying to install from Amazon via my phone brings up the Cancel/Install choice, and pressing "Install" does noting.
I also disabled Floating Notifications, but that had no effect.
I have a nandroid backup from June 27th. Before reflashing Stockorama and adding back apps, would you suggest restoring that backup? If so, do you have any other suggestion before restoring the nandroid backup?
Thanks again for your continuing interest.
In recovery try wiping cache and dalvik. Not factory resetting. Then if that doesn't do it, reflash the rom.
I'd make a new nandroid beforehand so you don't have to worry about mistakes and loss of data. And of course make another once its working again.
If you use the old one, you'll lose any data you've gathered since then. If you are ok with this then go ahead. I'd try my above suggestions first though.

Success, eventually.
Wiping cache and dalvik didn't work. But restoring my June 27th nandroid backup did. I'm now in the process, with the assistance of my AppBrain timeline, of reinstalling apps from my Titanium backup and deleting others. (Just to be safe, I'm deleting Cerberus without having activated it on this flashing.)
A question, if you will. Were your suggestions just general troubleshooting? Or, did you--do you--have some idea what caused my problem?
Many thanks for your help.
Mostly troibleshooting. Sounded like some data was corrupted or was just in general conflict with the system. First time I had ever seen this particular problem. Glad you got it working! Make a newer nandroid once youre set back up, then you can try Cerberus again just to be sure it caused the problem. If you choose of course.

OK so I'm not sure what exactly is going on but whenever I flash my rim to do testing and whatnot I make a nandroid, do a full wipe, flash rom, gapps and then kernel, then reboot, let sit for about 10 mins, and then go through the setup, my data works completely fine, no drops in connection or anything, I can download apps on 4g even, so I downloaded titanium Backup and set it up, but whenever I restore my apps, just my apps only, no system data or app data the restore completes and then I don't a reboot and then my data no longer works, I've double checked the apn and nothing is out of the ordinary, it has to be titanium Backup because I've tried different kernels, different roms and still the same issue, does anyone have any idea what might cause this?

Tibu is not the panacea it's made out to be. Don't do a batch restore. Only restore the apps you really need. It's much better to use Google to restore your apps.

Well that is a matter of opinion. Using google to restore apps will always give you the latest versions of the apps. And that is often not a good thing. (I have 6 apps right now that I dont want updated because the newer version is crappier) Google isnt real good with restoring app data either.
There is nothing wrong with restoring using titanium for apps and data. The only place it shouldn't be recommended is for restoring system settings or data. That is where you get version/rom incompatibilities.

I always use TB to restore my apps. Never had a issue. Always use batch restore and restore only apps and data. Not sure what's going on but I ONLY use it to restore apps. What exactly are you pressing during your restoration process? I only restore missing apps with data in the scenerios. Never had I had any issues. perhaps try restoring missing apps AND data. this is what I do. Works every time without issue. Problem might lie in the fact your not restoring apps and data. Give it a shot. Let me know. It should work perfectly for you. Does for me always. Your not restoring data this is likely your issue. so during restoration press " restore apps AND data" this should solve the issue.
