So I kinda messed up, now I have a couple issues I did an app backup but not a full system backup using the S3 toolkit I found on the forums, rooted using clockworkmod, then installed cyanogenmod. Decided I didn't like it as much, partially because I couldn't get my visual voicemail back and also because of the difficulty I was having with a few of the features (too bad, it ran extremely fast). Anyway, I downloaded the correct stock rom for my device and flashed it, then tried to do recovery of the app backup I made earlier (which worked on cyanogen in reinstalling all my apps, btw)
Here is where issue number one is. Whenever I try to run this backup file in the toolkit I get an error when it sends the backup request to the phone:
"adb: unable to connect for backup"
How do I fix this? I don't want to have to manually reinstall everything, I already have to put my contacts back in manually because not everything is on kies or my t-mobile account
EDIT:
Flash 11 in the play store says it's not available for my device, and when I checked for updates in the system settings it said that my device has been modified to updates are not available
So in the meantime I decided to start reinstalling some of my apps. Logged into google play on my phone and my computer. On my PC I went to the "My apps" section to get to the stuff I had installed previously and reinstall it through there since it's faster than on the phone, only to start recieving errors saying that my device wasn't connected to my account (yes, I checked on my phone to make sure the right google account was connected to the play store) so now it looks like I'll have to do everything on my phone in the longest way possible.
Any way to remedy either situation?
On a side note, I found it kinda strange that after installing the stock rom and re-rooting the device in an attempt to fix some of the access errors I was getting elsewhere, it set my wallpaper back to what it was before I even started any of this.
Turn it into a galaxy nexus by editing build prop.
Or an HTC jewel.
Use titanium backup in the future.
Never restore app data
Just gonna have to beat angry birds again
Did you mess with your Google account during the phone turning on process?

You can't go back to stock without seriously wiping the phone

I ended up reinstalling my apps manually through my phone. I did connect my google account when I first turned the phone on after going back to stock

Does anyone have the stock S-Voice apk. I installed a ROM that removed it and have been unable to find the original.
If you give me a minute. I'll upload what you need and the instructions.

Quick question, do you have Samsung Apps installed currently?

In case you're still in need of S-Voice.apk.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8my57j0ix3mbktj/SamsungApps.apk
That is the SamsungApps.apk, it should install like a regular app if you drag into your SD Card.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kuj4tmdnyptzy0j/SamsungAppsUNA3.apk
This is the SamsungAppsUNA3.apk which will need to be put in /system/app and will need the permissions to be changed to rw--r--r and reboot.
Once those two are properly put on your device, go on the Samsung Apps application and search for S-Voice, and install.
That worked like a charm. Thank you for your assistance !!
I tried several times to flash a new rom (specifically XquiziT_xD V 69, 70) and every thing worked great but when i tried to re-install my old backed up data like third party software it started crashing on me I used TB to re-install or used TWRP recovery install data only but it force closes a lot of my programs it gets very unstable. Is there any good way to re-install my old data with account info. after a rom flash ?
Thanks
There are some programs that really hate being restored with TB. NEVER restore system settings with TB aside from the very few that are green in the TB app, even than do so sparingly. (I usually only ever restore sms and Internet with TB).
If you have third party apps that are acting up after doing a restore from TB try downloading the app manually from the market (after a clear data and uninstall) than just restore data only. This is assuming you are restoring "app+data" in TB.
Sometimes apps simply don't behave correctly when restoring from a backup ever. In those cases you will simply have to set up the app manually.

Oh, forgot to mention also that if you are going from one version of android to another (I. E. - ICS to JB) most backups won't work right. Backups usually only install properly when restoring to the same version android as the backup.

As soon as my phone boots, I get the error "unforutnatly messaging has stopped". This has occured since I installed wicked's V.5 ROM. I can receive texts, but outgoing texts just sit there trying to send.
Things I've tried:
When I try to install a new APK,"application not installed"
I downloaded a new secmms.apk I found on the forums, but when I Used system app uninstaller, but it will not install the app. So, I copied the new apk. to the system/app folder and fixed permissions, but still the same problem.
I tried using a 3rd party messaging app, Handcent, but the messages just stay in the outgoing box.
Any help would be appreciated!
Do you have root? What rom and kernel are you using?

Sorry too sleep i guess your rooted. Lol. Try to do a clean install. Or clear cache, dalvik, fix permissions. Do a factory reset. It might help

Yeah, had to do a clean install. Thanks!
Hi, I searched the forum and didn't seem to find much on this, only on "fake notifications" of low space when there is space.
My problem is a little different, my phone reports almost nothing being on it, but my available space is only 1.32 Gb out of 12 available.
When adding up the things stored in it though, it gets only to about 5 Gb (see print screen). Where is the rest of this stuff coming from? How can I clean it safely?
I am running Frosty JB v7 currently, on stock li7 kernel. And i have barely any apps installed.
My guess is the files from apps I installed prior to flashing Frosty JB are still there somewhere, even though i did a factory reset. (i had a few big games like Shadowgun, nova 3, Riptide GP, and a few more, lots of smaller games too. If this is the case, how can I remove them safely? )
Guys, i'm sorry about bumping my own post like this, but please, can anyone help?

First off, do you have any items in your recycle bin from your internal storage? If so, empty your recycle bin and check your storage. Secondly, check inside your internal storage for your CWM or TWRP folder. Check to see how many backups you have located in those folders, because twrp and cwm wipes wont delete nandroid backups. Do a factory wipe from stock and you should be good.
Did you wipe system before installing your current rom?
I think mattedwards2686 has your ansewer, nandroid backups.

No. Nandroid backups would be under miscellaneous. I just checked.

Best option is superwipe. I am using frosty and had the same issue - it helped. Other options discussed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004089

I had the exact same issue on my G2X. Wiping everything including system fixed it. Make a backup of your apps and stick them on your pc for safe keeping. Wipe/format everything. Install your favorite rom and reinstall your apps with titanium backup.

thank you for the help guys, i used super wipe, and now, instead of 1Gb free, i have 10Gb o/
I was a little reluctant in wiping everything and starting from 0 again, but used the new update on frosty as an excuse
When ever I backup my stock ROM (touchwiz) and I decide to restore it at a later point, I find that my google account has been deleted and sometimes the phone.apk is also missing. There is not even and option to add my google account back. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Also I am using TWRP recovery.

I've had this happen before using certain Roms, what ROM are u using? Some Rome don't like to be restored, or I u can try making a separate backup for data, sometimes that helps, there is also a new twrp v2.6.6.0 available, u could try updating to the newest version, sometimes if your recovery is out of date it won't restore correctly, especially with the newer twiz roms

Thanks for the tip. It has happen to me when using the stock jelly bean update and Jedi Mind Trick. I will definitely give the update a try.
