So I decided to try one of the ICS roms earlier today. I nandroid backup'd my current config, flashed the ROM, played around, ran calkulin's format all, and proceeded to nandroid restore. Booted back into what was my original config only to find it's constantly locking up and random apps keep FCing. I did fix permissions, I wiped dalvik and cache multiple times. What the hell is the point of nandroid if it doesn't ****ing work right anyway?
I'm on RA 2.3 recovery. I backup the normal stuff including .android_secure and wimax.
Do you still have the rom handy?,if so,do your nandroid backup,then without wiping anything,install the rom over the top of the backup you just restored,it should help with the FC's,it worked for me,but if you installed a theme,it will convert back to stock as far as the framework goes.
Try manually wiping all options except sdcard and battery stats 3x or more and then restoring your nandroid then wipe cache and dalvik after the restore and before rebooting, sounds like you may have an errant piece of data that got left behind during the wipe
It seems that the 18 or so reboots I was forced to do have fixed something. No problems now. Strange for sure.
G+ was locking my phone up causing me to have to pull the battery, it was working fine then there was an update in the market but I was using an inverted version and didn't want to update the the bright white one and after a week of not updating it it started randomly freezing up when I would try to upload a pic or post a long message I updated and it stopped :-/ which was weird in itself maybe an app got updated and fixed your issue or maybe something uninstalled itself if your using dta2sd, sometimes when I have FCs, random reboots or have to do a battery pull some of my a2sd apps disappear when I reboot

Hey all, I'm having a problem that I can't seem to figure out at all. Last night I flashed Myn's 2.2, the colin_ph battery tweak, and the stock kernel that is modded to be able to run the tweak. I also flashed the riptide theme and couple add ons to it as well. I backed all my apps and data up with Titanium backup pro prior to flashing anything. Before I went to bed last night, I put my phone down while titanium was restoring everything. This morning when I woke up, I played around with it for about an hour, made sure that the battery tweak was running correctly, and surfed the web a little bit. I then remembered that Titanium recommended to reboot after a restore when switching from a custom rom to a custom rom( I was running CM6 and Snap7.6&turbo beforehand). So after rebooting, before my homescreen can even load I get a error that says "adroid.process.acore" not found. And another one that I cant remember, and from that point on it just keeps boot looping. This has happened 3 times in a row, so I know that something is wrong.
Any ideas of how I can fix this? When I restore my base Myns2.2 Nand backup I have no problems at all, or even when I reboot with all of the above mentioned flashed before restoring my apps and data with titanium I have no problems, only after doing the initial reboot after installing all apps and data do I have this problem.
Update: Just rebooted with Myns2.2, battery tweak, and theme and had no problems what so ever, so I know that somewhere in the process of restoring my apps and data and then rebooting following that, something is going wrong.
Try wiping your dalvik-cache and see if that helps
I have an Evo (003 Hardware) and while switching ROMs, at least twice now, I've had trouble restoring some apps using Titanium Backup. The weird thing is, I'ts only some apps, that are having the restore problem, while others seem to be restored, but without their settings saved. (Google Listen is an example of the former, while AdwEX is of the later.
I've verified the backups themselves, and they come back without errors, I've also tried flashing different ROMs like Myn's new Warm Z, MIUI, and Koni's Elite II. Those have no trouble restoring. Seems the problem is confined to the nightlies, as I'd installed RC1 before without issues.
Anybody have an idea what's wrong?
When re-flashing the roms, try a clean install, and also flashing the latest gapps. Not flashing them has been seen lately to cause a few apps not restoring, or some just missing completely. Best to do it in 2 recovery sessions, backup, flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, reboot.

I always do a fresh install. Wipe data, cache and Dalvik, plus flash Calkulin's Format All.
I haven't tried flashing ROM and gapps in different sessions, as that brought trouble pre-rc1, I'll try that now, though.
Well I practice the 2 recovery session as a standard, sometimes it works in 1 session, but when it doesn't the 2 session step bring me no problems; but let me know what happens.
turns out, that wasn't the problem. Two-session flashing didn't bring any issues, which I was glad to see (although it did switch the wallpaper, that's just weird). What did help was this post from the rc1 thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11722822&postcount=1603, where this exact problem is described, but I happened to miss it while searching somehow. anyways, it finally restored the apps, but not their data. I guess that's better than nothing, but again, just plain annoying.
Ah I see. Well now backup the apps and data and you should be set now.
Hi,
I installed Gingervillain 2.8 about a week ago and everything ran perfect.
Than for some reason(?) I rebooted my Desire and it got stuck on the Gingervillain boot screen. I than wiped the cache and the dalvikcache some times and even once reinstalled the rom (without wiping the data).
Eventually the phone booted and I could login, everything seemed to be ok.
But after a bout 5 minutes playing (mail, tweedeck, gallery...)the phone frooze. Rebooted, wiped caches, same thing..
In the end, I did the same, hooked the phone to the charger and went to sleep.
In the morning everything seemed to be working fine so far....
Any ideas what can cause this or how I can investigate this?
Jan
Did you flash/install anything (kernel,...)? Are you using SetCPU? (maybe you overclock it - can cause freezes)
No, I did not change anything compared to the default settings.
But indeed, it looks like something changed that was activated by a reboot.
I remember I tried to restore the HTC Weather widget with Titanium, but that failed. Not sure if this could have caused this. Sometimes a downloaded app does not work anymore (had that with whatsapp/googlemaps), remove and re-install fixes that.
Reboots now seem to work. But still an occasional freeze.
Is there a way to investigate this? I can connect to the Desire with putty....
Maybe you have a nandroid backup you made after the first time you flashed gv2.8?
And try if you have the same problems then?
Hans
Indeed I have a nandroid backup, made quite recent after the first install.
But first I want to see if this can be solved otherwise.
Using this backup will require to install a lot of apps again.
Unless I get a 'golden' tip here and I do not get too many freezes, first steps will be:
- getting a > class 4 micro sd (not sure what I have now)
- If that doesn't help, use the backup.

Last week i was having issues with the phone not booting, or just locking up not responding etc. A wipe seemed to help, and wit work for a while. I'd get my phone setup to where I wanted it again, and then the issues would come back.
I found a post that said it was possible EXT4 formatting issues because of a bad poweroff. So I downloaded all the stock 4.04 images, fastboot erased system boot recovery. Flashed the latest radios, stock system boot userdata and clockwork recovery 5.5.0.4. Booted seemed to be fine.
Rebooted into Clockwork and installed Vanir v7, ran fine for a few days. I thought the issue was gone. Until this morning when I got a text message and went to unlock the phone and it was locked up. I pulled the battery and that is when everything got extremely bad
Would not boot past the boot animation. I tried the following
I reinstalled the ROM,
i treid to wipe data,
wiped data and reinstalled the ROM.
although I was able to make a nandroid backup before I tried all of this
Then as a last resort I went into the mounts and storage and FORMATTED /system /data and /cache in CWM. Reinstalled the ROM and it actually booted.
What greeted me there is the last thing I'd EVER expect to see. I don't know how, what or why but all my data was there... every app text missed call... all of it.. even tho I had wiped AND formatted several times and did NOT restore my backup. EDIT: Even more oddness... My user apps didn't get wiped, they are all still there, but they are all acting like I had cleared their data through the applications menu....
I still don't know if this is because of a NAND issue that formatting fixed both times (flashing stock and using format in CWM) or if it will ever come back. Has any1 else had any issues of this sort? I really don't think this is a ROM issue.
you're probably causing more damage by flashing this, wiping this and that. best option is to leave it stock for now by flashing the factory image again. if it is a NAND issue then it would have stopped booting when the issue occured. but if it is still causing problems then send it back for a replacement.
First, for shortening and simplicity let's use cm versions only last numbers (cm-12.1-20151230-NIGHTLY-nicki will be 30 etc.).
I will arrange my short story in points for better understanding, let's begin here:
- I installed CM 23 (it's 12.1 but the number is for nightly like shown higher) and updated to 26, everything was fine
- quick install of Open Gapps, my apps and doing settings stuff, everything fine
- wild update to 30 appeared, i updated it and it was not very effective
- device rebooted, flashed update automatically, optimized apps aaaaand it got stuck on finishing boot. it was fully ok and responding cause a sound played when i plugged it to charging, it was showing touches ( i set it to show em before update), but it was stuck. So i took battery out and it started to boot, after couple of seconds screen brightness turned down as in every normal booting, boot animation slowed and lagged a few times but then continued to bootloop. Here is a list of things i tried:
- rebooting of course
- clearing cache and dalvik in twrp, then it just optimized apps again and got stuck on starting apps
- wiping data, still bootloop
- wiping everything and installing fresh CM 30
Only the last worked but i lost everything i installed etc. I made a backup of data partition but it restored only some apps ( not even gapps) and settings for some reason.
so after installing everything again i lived it for a while, but because it is a nightly a new update was posted! CM 104
- i downloaded it in cm updater as every other update (btw flashing cm 26 and then 30 from .zip gave the same result), installed it, and it worked soo...
- two days later another update appeared(cm 106), i check every update changelog and this one was big.
- happy of last successful update i just updated it but this time it didn't worked so well
everything is the same as updating 26 to 30, and here we are it got stuck on finishing boot, i took battery out, bootloop, clearing cache and dalvik, optimizing apps, got stuck on starting apps, system fully responding to the same things. i turned the phone down and started this thread.
I have a full backup of everything on another sd with cm 30 and installed apps, but because system is responding i think you guys can help me. i don't want to do a clean install every time a not working update appears. I could stay on last working version, but i'm a type of a person who wants everything updated even if won't give me anything new so staying on last working version from backup is only accepted if you guys won't have any solution or at least idea.
Big thanks for everyone that will bring anything here and probably save some time another happy cm user
EDIT: also, i can restore that backup i have and install version 104, and then figure out how to install it properly
my own idea
so, now i have restored my backup and when i have some free time i'll try to install fresh cm without gapps and update it a few versions, if it'll work problem solved. i will have to just clear cache and dalvik after every update and flash gapps. I only want to ask, if it will work, will flashing gapps with the old ones installed make any issues?
Try to re install rom after full wipe

i specially wrote this thread with extra simplicity, but you didn't read that it's working after full wipe, i'm trying to install update AND save my data. read before you post and try to get some easy thank points or whatever this forum has somewhere else.
FIXED IT!!
So for everyone who's looking for answer to this problem here's the fix: after cm flashes and turns off, hold VOL+ button to go to recovery instantly then wipe cache and dalvik, flash gapps, again wipe cache and dalvik reboot. For me it worked.
