SOLVED! [Q] HELP! User data keeps disappearing after reboot!

"I don't know what specific directory or partition is messed up but every single time my phone reboot I think I lose my user data or something. All of my apps force close and the tutorial about how to use my phone keyboard starts as if I just flashed a new Rom. This keeps happening no matter which Rom I use. I don't know why this is happening. I've tried 2 different SD cards and it still happens. Please Help!"
I didn't exactly figure out what was wrong but I found a solution. There was something wrong with my cache partitions.

What ROM(s) are you using? From the Terminal Emulator, have you tried running fix_permissions? I run Redemption, and when I install a new version of it that's the first thing I do, then reboot.

I'm running redemptive 1.9 and I've tried multiple other roms and still have the same problem. Fix permissions didn't work either. I get an error with the packages.XML file. This problem happens no matter what rom I try.

Hey guys. I had the same $#it happen to me last week! I was sitting on the couch and cleaning my rooted Droid with stock Rom... and when I held the power button to shutdown phone I got a long vibrate instead of the usual short one! This got my attention, and sure enough, when I finally took out the battery and reported, I got the UIDs are inconsistent.... error along with the I'm feeling lucky button. Force Closes, galore! I fixed it by doing a hard reset and basically returning my phone to factory setting. Still rooted, but lost all my contacts,favorites, texts, apps... basically everything that wasn't on the SD card...:-/ still trying to restore all my settings... it was perfectly set to how I wanted it.

[Q] freezing problem

Hi everyone!
first, happy new year!
I have a problem with my desire...it freezes in a way that the pulling the battery out is the only thing that helps...it doesn't respond to any button, the screen os off and I can't wake it up
it's rooted with unrevoked, clockwork recovery
tried different roms, the best for me is baadnwz dhd port...
been on that for a while and didn't have the freezing problem, then I flashed the miui..
went back to baadnwz and it started to freeze...a few times a day
then I reflashed it, uninstalled the font changer and that helped...for two days(thought that was the problem) but tonight(~36h from the clean install of the rom) it froze again...
so, I don't think it's the rom, obviously it is not the font changer...
why is this happening, has anyone encounter this before, is there a solution?
please advise, what should I do?
thank you

For what it's worth...
If you can get it back to stock ROM, then do so. Then take it back to the place you bought it and demand a brand new replacement. I would even go so far as to note/print a few pages of some the forums as evidence of the widespread problem.
If my (and many other people's experiences) on here are anything to go by, then your problem will only get worse...and let's face it, whoever has heard of a electronic non-software related problem getting better on it's own? Having read just about every available post on the subject I've concluded that no amount of flashing/reflashing/fiddling is going to fix it.
Sorry to be negative about it, but them is just the facts as I see them.

hmm...so it's like that huh?
what do you mean "if" I can go to the stock rom?
can't I flash the original rom, or ruu or something?(I don't know, never tried something like that)
but then again, I'm not sure that it isn't a software problem...I'm just lurking around to see if anyone has encountered this before and solved it....
if all else fails, I'll flash a clean rom without restorin my apps and see how it goes from there...

just my experience

In all honesty, you may be able to reflash back to stock ROM. It may well depend on what firmware you have on your phone and whether your phone is branded (mine is T-Mobile UK). I know when I originally got mine and rooted it, it was hboot 0.83. It went wrong (external speaker stopped working). I was able to flash it back to stock ROM and I sent it back to HTC. When I finally got it back after 8 weeks (long story involving HTC incompetence and bad luck/incompetence with UPS), it was on hboot 0.93.0001. I rooted it with Unrevoked and installed LeeDroid 2.2f ROM. Shortly afterwards, it started to freeze/reboot. However, everything I've read so far leads me to believe LeeDroid wasn't the cause of the freeze/reboot fault. The problem is far too widespread (just Google 'HTC Desire reboot freeze problem') for it to be caused by a particular custom ROM.
Anyway, the upshot for me is that no matter what I've tried, I haven't been able to get it back to stock ROM and therefore, can't send it back for repair/replacement.
I sincerely hope you have better luck than me.

well, I'll see how it goes..
thank you for your answers

is there a way that I can make a log or something to see whether an application is doing this or something else?

well, I think I solved my problem, and for further reference here's a post that I did in another thread where this was disccused..
trikpa said:
just to let you guys know, I don't have any more freezes
some say it's because of the sense rom, some it's the dhd rom, others told me it's the radio or the ril files....
tried all of that plus few more things and nothing...
well, it turned out to be my backup(or an app in it..)
I always backed my apps and data with my backup pro, very nice app that restores everything....but the last rom flash I did, I didn't restored my apps&data and started fresh installs...and no freezing
I don't know what exactly caused problems, but one more thing that may be responsible...I flashed "font changer" and changed system fonts on my phone...and then backed my apps...maybe that's he deal...dunno...
anyways, I'm back with a killer phone with the best rom out there - baadnewz's

Do you still have any issues with the phone freezing sometimes when charging from A/C?
Mine doesn't freeze as much as it used to since updating the RIL files but being left charging seems to upset it

OK, that sounds good. I only usually recover a few items using Titanium backup but next time that I flash a ROM update. I'll start it all from scratch and hope to get the same result as you.

I don't know, maybe it was a specific app but I don't have the time nor the will to test each one of them

I've got the same problem. Now that I read your post it makes sense.
Restored my apps trough titanium backup and 5 hours later my phones freezes.
Can u make list off apps that you have ?

any news?
my phone started to freeze again
and I didn't restore backup, did a full fresh install...
don't know what to do

Yes, I've solved my problem by buying a new SD card.
This time from Kinsgstond instead of Sandisk.
Hope it solves your problem too.

My phone freeze after charfing while its off. I noticed that it freezes when it says "preparing SD card". This happened twice so far

well, I did buy a new 8GB card, but it never occured to me that it could be the problem....I think it didn't freeze right after I switched cards...
for now I flashed a newer version of the rom I'm using and will see how it goes...if not, I'll switch cards again
thanks for your answer

well, sd card could be the problem in your case too, try another one...and post here with results

I'm curious

Well so far I have reflash the phone after a factory reset + wipe with no app restored via backup. It is performing ok so far. Last freeze was 2 days ago. I will wear down the battery to get a chance to charge it up this afternoon. I will see if it freezes again.

[Q] hensemod problem

Hello,
I've installed Hensemod a few times now, without any problems the first time I boot the phone.
Only after that, when restarting or turning the phone on again, it takes very long to start, like it's installing again and then the internal memory is suddenly full, even though I had about 100mb when turning the phone off. Also, all apps I installed are gone. In the applications list (in settings) they seem to still be there, but they're all 0kb and there's no shortcuts to them in the programs overview... Like I said, I've installed the Hensemod a few times now, and every time this happens.
Anyone knows how to solve this? I really like this rom, I can finally install and update all apps I want without the phone becoming unusable because of full internal memory! Thanks!
Carolien

I used HenseModv3 is a nice ROM, u must have to wipe all the data, cache and dalvick cache in the CWM recovery section, then install the HenseMod ROM.
If any other problem, plz share.

I followed all the steps stated in the development forum post, it works fine, just cant restart the phone because it will stop working...

My phone just continuesly restart...

Plug off ur battery, then go to CWM recovery, try to intall any other/different ROM.
I install each ROM by above method,i didn't use fastboot uncheck option.

Never mind I was just being stupid... I wiped the cache partition and not the dalvik cache. Sorry about that! Let's see if it will work now. Installing rom at the moment.

And again... first boot worked fine, after that I'm stuck in a bootloop now... Just like couldzxz. Too bad! I'll have to try yet another mod. Hope the next update of hensemod will solve this!

yes, u can try different custom ROM if any problems with a particular ROM
wait for next updates from Henry_01

I got stuck in bootloop too. I reqlly like the rom but well.. :/

Okay, i've seen your problems.
I've tested latest build, but didnt rebooted it.
I suggest you all use a previous version (3).
Problem can be also kernel related.
I don't have time now (exams), I will make a proper working build after some weeks.
Don't hesitate to post here further, I want to know if it is ROM or phone related.
BIG EDIT: i will include link for version 3.
Thanks to djpc for a new hack which will solve reboot/kernel/overclock problems.
Expect a build and a proper test on friday or saterday.
I will change links now so that you will get a good version lol.

Somehow, the fifth time in installed the latest Hensemod rom, it worked like a charm. I can reboot, have installed and updated all apps I wanted and still got like 90mb remaining. Fantastic! Finally after 6 months I have the phone I wanted.
First and second install I couldn't reboot
Third install I got stuck in a bootloop
Fourth install gapps crashed every 2 seconds (due to calendar and contacts synchronization)
Fifth install = perfect!
I don't know how it happened, I just kept on installing this one so I could copy another rom on the sd card since I don't have an adapter or card reader for it.
Thanks!

[Q] When we need Reboot / Shutdown?

Yeah, I'm wondering, how long our phone after use need to reboot or shutdown?
I never turn it after 2 and half days now.. there is no problem so far, but I want to prevent it to auto-reboot itself.. :silly:
you can found my screenshot of my cpu-spy in attachment:

Basically, you don't. There is no absolute reason to shut down your phone time to time or to reboot it. Smartphones are made so that it can be on all the time. Even so, the cache memory of the phone will fill up in time after many processes and it tends to start lagging a little, but when another program is on the program will overwrite those unused cache memory. Rebooting clear up those cache that's all.

Actually, the problem (auto-reboot) is just happening with stock ROM -GB 2.3.6 DXLM3-
After I decided to root my phone and update my ROM with SlimBean 3.1.0 , then Arco's CM9 beta 4, and now I'm using Arco's CM9 RC 2, that problem never happened again!
Samsung, you. . .

[Q] SDS- EMMC DATA Corrupt, ROM RE-FLASH OR SEND BACK TO SAMSUNG FOR MB-REPLACING?

I've posted earlier in one of the SDS/Freeze topics the exact story what did happen with my (roughly 7-month old phone).
A short summary:
I was running a 4.1.2 DLK7 -ROM together with the Perseus 36.3 kernel. I've changed kernel since I knew that I was vulnerable for the SDS. I got a INSANE Fx01 chip.
I've did ran eMMc many times to check if any memory was corrupted, it did pass the tests fine. About 4 weeks ago I had my first phone crash (reboot) while updating a Google Play Store application. Afterwards the phone was alright for roughly two weeks. Then suddenly another crash (reboot). Not even a day later I had a phone-freeze. Only option was pressing Power-button. Then the phone-freezes started to increase, the times became shorter and shorter. A new eMMC test caused a error this time and made my phone do a re-boot. Last time the phone did freeze before even seeing the log-in screen. The next day I tried to power it on, it did not respond! I removed the battery and put it back in. Then it started, but it would not go past the Samsung LOGO Screen. I could still enter the download-mode but it also says : binary counter 1 that means that the OS- is now really broken. I could also still access the recovery TWRP-modus.
I could give it a shot the flash the latest 4.1.2 ROM with Odin (if it doesn't give a nan-d error). But do you guys think it is worth it?
Is it not better to visit a repair-center and let the motherboard replaced?
My concern:
There are also many topics to find here that even with the soft-rom/kernel fix the phones start to act like this : freezes / reboots. It is the SDS-fix kicking in, that saves it from dying but the data-memory-corruption cannot be repaired. So sooner or later even with the latest rom and this chip you will have this problem, lose your data?
Thanks for the advice in advance.

Yes, I know it is a hardware problem and I do not really trust those Soft-SDS fixes. Many report that even with the latest Rom and a kernel with the fix, eventually the same happens. Data just becomes corrupt. Freezes and Reboots occur. Also the loss of data-settings did happen to me. On a re-boot I suddenly had to re-config Swiftkey , Whatsapp + etc :S.
Guess I will visit the repair-center then and ask them to replace the motherboard and flash the latest rom. Only **** part is that I have to root it again and install my 190+ apps, flash perseus or redpill and do a couple of hundred settings. I got a titanium back-up of my apps but I do not trust the back-up anymore. Maybe some data of the apps became corrupt or something.
Btw perseus or redpill with the original stockrom? what do you advice atm? both support the 64gb-micro sd cards right?

Yea its Painful to re do the entire process again , and also nice thought dont restore backup do a fresh install rather restore.
