[Q]WTF...I could use some advice? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

OK, So I have been running Beast MOD just fine using either the bullet or synergy kernel.. and everything has been great..
Then yesterday i flashed over to the latest faux kernel to give it a whirl and for the entire day everything was great..
Then today I WAKE UP TO A MILLION FORCECLOSE WINDOWS AND A FROZEN SCREEN. I was pissed. Rebooted and it went to the same place.. forceclose after force close. So i did a wipe and re-flashed, restored my apps from titanium and boom same problem after a reboot...
So i wipe and install again, this time restored from my nandroid data and it gave me an error that it can't read my data files??
Even if i do a clean install without restoring anything, after a reboot everything seems to be corrupted...
any help would be great.
EDIT: Well i was able to get into download mode but after Odin failed twice on the last step the phone wont even turn on... Sucks too because i am going out of town on the 26th and needed my phone..
I have not installed any new apps or scripts or anything. the only change i made was to flash the faux kernel and thats it.

Are your apps and nandroid from sd card or internal storage?

Titanium restore was from the internal and the nandroid was from the external.

This happened to me once. Your nandroid backup files have become corrupted (million things can cause that.) You'll most likely have to re-install everything from scratch.
One thing you can try is to fix permissions in cwm under advanced. (This will sometimes help with the fc's.)
Good luck.

All you have to do is uninstall everything you backed up with titanium and install them from the market. Happened to me once

LMAO ODIN Failed and wont go past the last step.. guess im calling TMO for an exchange..

titanium backup + damagecontrol 3.1.2 wont restore apps

Running DC 3.1.2 and a netarchy's 5 pt multi touch/fps fix kernel, Paid version of titanium backup.
I've fixed permissions
verified backups
installed app, apps + data, apps + system data
When i attempt to restore any app i've backed up on the sd card via titanium backup it wont restore them. It goes through, acts like it installed but when i reboot the phone and do the above mentioned things it just doesnt show up...
I should mentioned i came from stock rooted EVO 4G 1.3x ROM
Anyone ever heard of this problem before?
bump, anyone?
ANother thing its now doing is i was able to get the apps to show up in market, however they show as installed... until i click on the app then it asks me to install it.
Friggin weird.
anyone at all?
That's a weird one. I've been using Titanium quite a bit lately with no problems. You might just have to wipe and start over. Have you tried uninstalling / reinstalling Titanium? Its also possible there's a problem with your SD card. Do you have another one you could test with?
Did you go into settings / applications and put a check in the unknown sources box?
.....
Frank...
yes unknown sources is checked.
SD card as far as i know has no problems, ill try with a new one.
Thanks for the info.
im having the same problem. i have unknown sources checked, reflashed a couple times, and have even re-rooted. it works perfectly in both fresh and OMJ, but DC just fails. if you install the apps manually and then do a restore of app+data, it will restore the data properly, but it fails when you try to install from the backup.

Same problem here...Fresh, Calkulin's EviO, Baked Snack, and Toasted Delight ROMs have all been able to restore just fine using Titanium Backup.
It's too bad...I really wanted to try DCs ROM, but I'm not gonna go through installing all my missing apps and setting up all the screens again.
Has anyone found a way to fix this yet?

Just make a nandroid backup, wipe, and try out DC 3.2.3 yourself. 99% chance everything will be fine.

The problem isn't loading the ROM. I'm able to install DC after doing a full wipe...it seems to be the only ROM that causes problem when trying to do a full Titanium Backup restore.

[Q] Error: run ' nandroid-mobile.sh restore ' via adb!

I am getting this error when ever I try to do a nand restore : Error: run ' nandroid-mobile.sh restore ' via adb!
I am running amon ra 1.8, I have the latest sprint lovers installed running 3.70, new radios, pri 1.90. Hboot 79. I've succesfully backed up and restored nands in the past but now I get this error. I've tried to backup and then immediately try to restore the backup and I get the same error so its not a corrupt backup. I have more than 6gb available on my sd card and am fully charged. I've looked in other threads and haven't found an answer. Any help is appreciated since I'm flying without a net when I flash if I can't restore my nand.
Run the command from adb shell, and it'll tell you what's wrong. Duh.
In other words, do what it tells you to do. Is it really so hard to follow instructions?
Hey man had the same problem. I was on miui and I went back to sense to update profile and flashed the new radio combo so I made a nandroid of miui first and then when I tried to restore that same back up I got the same error that you got. I'm not positive but I think that it has something to do with flashing the new radio and then switching to aosp rom. I ended up having to reflash miui and then every thing went back to working normally.

nandroid won't work if battery is low, I think if it's less than 30% charged, might want to try charging it before restoring to see if it helps...
I've had this happen with a full battery. The couple of times I had it happen I just wiped cache and dalvik. Rebooted back up, then gone back into recovery and then was able to restore the nand backup. Might give that a shot.

I had the same problem and what nefariouss is saying might work. Also, once i wiped several times and then completely turned the phone off and booted back into recovery and then it would restore. Another time i reflashed the rom that i was trying to restore and once it booted i went back to recovery, wiped all and then it would restore. Hope that helps. Just keep messing with it. I know its a pain but eventually it will restore.

if your sd card didnt partion properly this will happen.
save everything on your sd.
reboot into recovery
repartition sd card.
read that a few people running clockwork recovery have this issue frequently.
Delete Spaces!
If you are trying to flash a file in recovery that has spaces in it, it will not flash and will give you that error. so 'Fresh Evo.zip' won't work, but FreshEvo.zip will work.
FML, ignore this post please. I was a bit stupid.
Sorry for bumping, I have the same problem on my Optimus One p500
Sorry for bumping but I'm really worried about my phone. I have the same problem on my Optimus One and I've tried stuff mentioned above with NO success. Is there maybe another way to restore stock Froyo or to get this working?? I'm a total noob by the way..

Download and flash this. It is a rooted stock rom (Froyo) that has NOT been deodexed. In other words, it is THE stock HTC sense rom (3.70) that will allow you to maintain root privileges. While in recovery, wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card BEFORE flashing.

This happened to me and I tried everything listed. Reformatted my SD card. Copied everything back and nand restore finished first time. Polly unrelated but the only thing different was I had upgraded my RA recovery after I had made the backup.

Same thing happened to me after I updated Amon Ra recovery after doing a nandroid backup. Desire wouldn't boot and got stuck on white screen. Tried to do the backup using ADB but each time I got to the last step it failed. So I tried clearing Dalvik cache etc and finally wiped my card using recovery. After a couple of attempts, I was able to restore the last nandroid backup. Big relief.
i need help!!! i have the same problem of the whole error run nandroid-mobile.sh.. via adb. ive scoured the internet and havent solved my problem. i tried doing the cmd prompt thing and i found the latest backup, put into the cmd prompt but this is what i got.

Not really bricked but stuck need help

So I was backing up in TWRP and I had the power plugged in and the power went out. Everything seemed fine with the backup. I rebooted post back as normal.
Now it comes up the Samsung Logo and shuts off. I can get into TWRP and I have tried a restore but the result is the same. I was able to flash another ROM but I want to get back to where is was originally.
SO my question is my ROM corrupt or the Kernel? My plan is to retore my bad backup again and reinstall either the ROM or the Kernel. Any suggestions.
TIA

You should still be able to get into recovery... How else were you able to flash another ROM?

Right I can get in but I need to find a way to get the phone back up to reset Google Wallet. Si I am trying to determine how to diagnose the cause that might keep me from starting over.

I haven't made an nandroid in years... Unfortunately it looks like you'll be starting over... and here's a tip... If you don't use TiBu, and always use the same gapps, the play store restores your apps for you... but not the first time, you'll have to download them manually...

I think you missed what I was saying... I fully wipe everytime, and never use TiBu except to remove a few system apps... as long as I don't switch gapps, the play store batch downloads every app I had before I wiped... Wallet is a different issue...

[Q] How do you get miss matched MD5s

Recently have been having the worst luck.
I haven't ever been able to get CM to work on my SG3.
I've tried downloading stables and nightly. They always seem to be bad no matter how many times I down load them.
Recently everything went bad **** crazy where CWM thought my back up folders were empty.
After I rerooted the phone with odin, I tried to do a restore.
At which point CWM told me all of my original backup were had mismatched MD5s.
So does anyone know what happened here? How I can prevent it from happening again?

I have been having issues with CWM telling me my backup folders are empty.. like i never did a Nandroid backup.. Very strange. So i always keep a few ROMS that work well stored on my SD card.
Make sure your CWM is up to date. Download ROM manager, and flash over the most recent CWM from there. Also from ROM manager you can download and flash over some of the CM's to your phone and ROM manager will install for you.

The install would even fail when I was installing CM 10 stable from Rom Manager.
I'm at a loss of what else to do.

Rename your back ups and remove any spaces in the name. The back ups can be named anything you want, just make sure there aren't any other spaces. I had the md5 checksum error and this was the fix, I removed the spaces and voila it worked

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note 2(AT&T) Problem getting Jedi X12 to work...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2(AT&T). I have it rooted w/CWM recovery. I recently flashed Jedi X12 rom to it following the directions to the tee. It installed perfectly and all was going well. I then tried run TiBu to put all apps with data back and system files. This cause several issues most of which were pop up boxes telling me various processes were failing. Tried to run the backup again and the problems persisted. So I restore to my CWM .zip image from before the whole process and it all is fine and where it should be. I then went back through the Jedi X install process and when it is all wiped, flashed, clear chached, it just hangs on the first black and white Samsung Galaxy Note 2 page. I let it sit for an hour hoping it would eventually boot, but no luck. So i restored to backup zip(CWM) again and the phone is fine. I repeated this process half a dozen times trying clearing different things, but nothing has gotten the rom to boot. It says all went fine in install.
*It worked the first time, got messed up by a TiBu, and hasnt worked since
*tried reflashing and restoring several time
*re-dl'ed the rom zip again and copied to phone incase file was corrupt
*In between every restore and rom flash I
-Wipe data ( factory data reset)
-Wipe system (Format system (in mounts/storage) if on CWM)
-Flash ROM
-Wipe cache/Dalvik
-Boot system and DO NOT TOUCH FOR 10 MIN
-After the 10 min, reboot phone
*All restoring/flashing was done through the CWM recovery.
I assume I have to clear/wipe/format/flash some other location to fix this. But Im going nuts trying to figure out where. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Thanks. I'm going to try app2zip the next time i get it to work. The phone works fine after i do a restore in clockwork mod, but I should still flash back to stock in odin again,, and start over? The recovery doesnt do that for me? Sorry if these are dumb questions, just getting into the android stuff, but have years exp. modding iphones.
if the phone is working fine, then no, you dont have to go back to stock; just NEVER EVER restore system files in TB, and you will be fine
Also, if you are going to be flashing alot of roms, you might want to switch to TWRP recovery, insted of CWM, as most folks have far fewer problems flashing when TWRP is their recovery..

+1 on this...
I do a complete backup in TWRP...data and all saved to my external SD before doing any changes to my phone...and have not had 1 issue restoring it completely. FWIW...I make a complete back up every week regardless..then delete the previous one..and have everything available to me when it is restored all apps & data....TWRP makes it very easy to do this..and you can name & date your backups any way you choose to..I've found doing it any other way..causes more headaches than needed..and in less than 5 minutes I can be back up and running with all my apps & data with no problems in case I downloaded something that was causing an issue or changed something that caused issues. It's no different than using any desktop computer...you just need to get in the habit of doing it on a regular basis.
