Hey. I need some help.
My phone doesn't pass the Google screen.
The device worked after installing JellyBam 6.6 and everything was great.
I turned it off after restoring few apps from TB, and then it didn't turned on to the ROM.
Before installing I wiped cache, devlik and data.
I can get to fastboot mod and from there to the recovery (TWRP 2.4.3.0).
Also I can use the toolkit.
What should I do??
It happend to my friend and he told me he wiped everything and installed stock,
but I don't want to format the internal storage as he did.
Should I just install the ROM again, backup and install another ROM?
Should I wipe system?
you restored system apps from TiBu, which is a bad idea.
reflash the rom/gapps then restore your data, but do not restore system apps.
I didn't restore many system apps.
I think only the clock, some app that I made as system one (Notification Toggle), the launcher,
Time zone and few minor things like thats.
Now I wiped cache, devlik and data again.
Should I just install the ROM now or should I wipe system before? (TWRP says it's inly wipe the ROM)
You have the rom in sd rite?
So just go to recovery abd wipe cache and data and system.
After that make a fresh install of the ROM. Let it boot up.

doesnt matter. you restored system apps which can cause problems
wipe, reflash rom, restore only non-system apps/data

Just do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and flash the ROM then the Gapps and reboot. You may not even need the factory reset though. Try without it first.
Already did factory reset..
What is system reset and when I need to use it?
If it's wiping the rom, shouldn't it done before changing one?
OH, I just realized I deleted the ZIP file from my device.

I've never done a system wipe. But I assume it wipes EVERYTHING. Meaning if you do that, you better flash something right after so you have something to boot to. Otherwise it will never boot and you will have to hook it up to a computer and flash a stock image and start over. I dont know if wiping the system will wipe your SD card as well. If all you did was changes some system apps and data around then a simple re-flash of the ROM should fix it. If its not then I'm going to say that there is something else wrong.
I don't have to ROM.zip on my device.
Can I somehow do this using Fastboot Mode and my PC?
I tried with OTG and DOK but it's not working :X
boot into recovery and use adb to push the rom to your device.
adb push c:\yourlocationofrom\rom.zip /sdcard/
Okay, I did it, but I can't find the file..
It says that the file passed..
I did "adb push D:/JellyBam.zip \sdcard\"
Where did the file moved to?
OK, got it!
I tried again with upsided / \ and it works.
THANKS A LOT!
working
So I shouldn't restore any system app?
Not even data?
And what about SMS, data usage and stuff like that?
Apps that I made as system app (Like notification toggle)
Launcher??

It depends on what ROM you were on when you made the backup. Are you coming from a different ROM? Because thats when you should NOT restore system stuff. Thats like trying to add stuff to the system that is not meant for the ROM. It doesnt take that long to set up all your settings manually. I would just stay away from restoring system stuff with Titanium Backup. There are apps that backup and restore your sms messages in the Play Store that work well. What launcher are you wanting to restore? If you made any app a system app previously, I would just restore it as a user app and THEN make it a system app again. Dont restore it directly as a system app. And before you do anything, make a backup of your ROM so you dont have to go through all this again.
I restored few things, but Data only.
Now there isn't a problem.
THANKS again for helping

OK so here's my problem.. I have backups in both nandroid and Titanium Backup. I flash a ROM wait for it to do its business. After everything boots up, I try to restore everything through titanium backup but I get a force close error. I also try to open Rom Manager to see if it works and I get the same error but for Rom Manager. So the error isn't in Titanium Backup, but I do not know where it is. Any ideas?? I enjoy having custom Roms, but not if I do not have all of my stuff on the Rom.
Well I was going to attach a picture but it will not allow me because I am " New".
The error message reads as this.
! Sorry!
The application Titanium Backup (process com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
(Force Close) <---- button
It also does it with other applications such as the Facebook Launcher.
Once you flash your ROM, run Fix Permissions preferably from recovery, else use the version(s) in either Rom Manager, or Titanium.
Once that completes, reboot device. When you restore things from Titanium, just restore apps, preferably one-by-one, and only the app, not the data.
Do not at all recommend restoring apps+data+system data from Titanium. Why?
The system data backup residing in Titanium was for the last ROM, or the last time the backup was completed. As such, if you flash a different ROM, you are overwriting the system data of the new ROM with the system data from the old ROM - that spells odd behavior, mass force closes. etc. etc.
Well I tried this solution smtom, and it was to no avail. Any other suggestions?
When flashing a ROM, are you clearing cache/dalvik and doing the factory reset on the device? What version of Rom Manager & CWM are you using?
The latest version of CWM is giving people issues.
Absent all that, try not restoring apps or data (anything really) from TB when you flash the new ROM, after having wiped data/caches/user data.
Yes I'm clearing cache and data. The CWM version is 3.0.0.5, which is the latest recovery.
What does clearing the dalvik do and how do I factory reset the device?
I figured it out, with tmtom's help of course! I had to do a factory reset and then flashed the rom and everything worked. Thanks for the advice!!
I have the same error so I'm going to try the solutions provided in this thread. I do have one question though. Kalebskalicky mentioned that he finally fixed it by doing factory reset and then flashing the rom.
Just to be clear; factory reset is the same as wiping data/factory reset? Or I need to do a factory reset from the phone settings?
Another thing. I have noticed that the FC issues have something to do with gapps, acore, and/or framework processes. When I get any of these force closes, all the other apps start to crash, but all the issues start with any of those 3 processes crashing.
However, there are 2 apps that force close from the start, even before any of these 3 processes crash. These 2 apps are voxer and waze.
Is there like a way to delete the folder where they are installed? maybe it's a problem of installation? I have no idea and haven't been able to fix it.
Any suggestions, would be inmensely appreciated.
Thank you very much.
UPDATE:
Just wanted to mention that I always wipe data/factory, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache, and then flash the new rom. Is this ok to do? Or am I deleting stuff I shouldn't?
Thanks again.
I also had this issue.
I had tried wiping the cache and the dalvik cache. Fixing permissions. didn't wont to format as everything was set-up how I wanted it and couldn't be bothered going through it again.
After some digging around I had to uninstall titanium backup first then delete the folder
/sdcard/external_sd/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
(there may also be /sdcard/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup to Delete)
Reinstalling titanium backup after deleting this folder, worked like a charm.
Apparently its to do with a corrupt database upgrade???
I hope this helps any one.
So I got Cm7 running using rom manager, used titanium backup to restore apps + system data, then fixed permissions. For the last 10 minutes it's been stuck in the CM7 screen....
What should I do? Can I pull the battery without harm? Does it take that long to boot after fixing permissions?
Edit: pulled the batter and am trying to boot into recovery...going to wipe the dalvik/cache again.
Edit2: same thing for the last 6 minutes....dang. I guess I'll just nandroid in 5 minutes if it doesn't' get out of it.
Edit3: going to nandroid back. I might try it again later flashing from a Zip instead of using rom manager. I probably won't restore system data either next time. If anyone has any suggestions though please post them.
Edit4: not good...phone is bootlooping cyangen screen after nandroid.
Edit5: Cleared factordata, cache, and when I go to clear dalvik I'm getting
e unknown volume for path sd-ext
Any ideas here?
Edit6: I'm reflashing 6.1.2....okay...got through the boot and now I'm setting up the phone.
You may need to wipe everything now and reinstall fresh. Do a search for Calkulin's tools here and download the format all zip and put it on the root of your sdcard. Flash it just like you would a rom from recovery. It will wipe boot, data, cache and system. Then try flashing cm7 from recovery. Usually boot loops happen because of there not being enough space on one of your partitions like system or boot etc.

Will do....I know I had been installing apps to the SD card using CM6 and when I first got CM7 up it said my phone memory was low. I thought it would say on the SD card.
I'll probably try tomorrow again if I get the courage and I most definitely will DL Calkun's tools.
Thanks!
I'm going to guess the nandroid didn't work either because of the phone memory low issue?
I would reccomend re-doing what you did originally, except when restoring with titanium, do NOT restore system settings, only apps and data. That's probably the cause.

Wiped manually, installed from zip, and didn't restore system data. CM7 has been running for about an hour now.
Thanks everyone!
Glad that you got it working man.
Is ANY system data safe to restore from Titanium?
Had the exact same problem myself... I'm restoring my Myn nandroid as we speak, and I'll mess with it more tomorrow.
Does anyone know what (if any) system data is safe to restore from Titanium? I just want my contacts and text messages basically... I don't know exactly what caused the problem from Titanium since I made sure not to check any of the Sense-related items.
For about 20 min after I pulled the battery I couldn't get the phone to do anything except vibrate three times when I tried to get into recovery. Eventually coaxed it into the bootloader where I selected to boot into recovery to nandroid back. Almost had a heart attack!

You should never restore system settings.
For contacts, open accounts and sync, tap your google account, then sync contacts, and that'll be done.
For texts, people highly recommend sms backup or my backup. Then backup apps and data, then restore only apps and data, and you'll be set.
My gf froze something in tb that she wasnt supposed to, and now whenever you slide down the lockscreen she gets a force close (process com.android.phone) so the phone is unusable. Is there anything I can do about this in recovery?
If you can get the phone to boot, you can defrost it if you can launch TB. Uninstalling Titanium Backup will not automatically defrost the app.
You can reflash the rom without wiping data (wipe cache & dalvik) to get your system apps back to normal. If you've flashed any mods or modified any system files then you'll lose those changes and you'll also need to reflash your kernel if you've flashed a different one.

Yeah I was gonna reflash the rom as a last resort. Just hoping there was some way I could undo changes tb made through recovery or something.
Hello,
I have an Amazon Kindle Fire with gedeROM v1.7. I love the updates because it makes my device better and better.
But can i update my device without data wipe so i don't have to reinstall and reconfigure the entire device every time. And if I can can someone please tell me how.
My usual procedure is download file, data wipe, clear davlik and cache, flash, wipe cache restart and wonderfull a better device. But all the data and apps go with the wipe so any help would be awesome!
Thnx for all the help!!

If you're not switching to a different ROM (ie, from CM7 to CM9, or from hashcode to energy...) then you can optionally skip the data wipe (factory reset), which will retain your data and applications...
Alternatively, you may want to take a look at Titanium Backup.
Thnx for the info.
I have been hearing a lot about Titanium Backup, can you give more info about the program.
With TB you can back up any apps on your device. Then when you update a rom just download TB again and then you can restore your apps that you backed up. I love TB and use it on every device that I have rooted. It is a lifesaver!! Ok maybe a time saver anyway!! LOL!!!!
I had a REALLY bad experience from not wiping everything completely. I'd definitely do a backup, like Titanium or MyBackupPro, and wipe it all just to be safe. To many goofy things can happen if you don't.
It really depends on what ROM your flashing. There are rare occasions you can cross flash without issue. Not recommended. Just updating the same ROM so wipe is necessary, unless mentioned by the dev.
If you do wipe than BUYING titanium backup is the way to go. The free version doesn't auto install apps, each needs confirmation.
I can get any ROM on the kf or my gnex but up and running in less than 15 minutes.
this is what I have been doing and I am not sure if it's bad to do or not. I make a backup of just my data using twrp, then I wipe the caches and do a factory reset. Then I install the rom, and then restore my data using twrp

Restoring your backed up data is akin to not having done "factory reset" in the first place.
You shouldn't encounter any major issues so long as you're flashing newer versions of the same ROM and there hasn't been a large change (for example, switching to linaro).
Hello!
I have installed RootCloak and after the needed reboot of the phone, it is always stuck in Viper One logo boot screen.
When I wipe Dalvik, I get the actualization screen from Android and after checking the apps nothing else happens. Just "apps are getting started" and the spinning circle....
Any ideas how to recover my phone?
I can't perform a backup because CWM says it cannot mount the sd-card and there is not enough space on internal memory.....
Can you reflash the rom?
And why are you wanting to do a backup of a corrupt system?

I have already reflashed the ROM, but no effort.
All I want to save are SMS and photos. Can I secure them on any way?
Do you have a nandroid backup from your recovery that you can restore? And if not... Why? ? Everyone should do a backup before flashing anything.... Then you always can restore to your previous state.
That will not wipe your pics. But sms yes. Just about anything you do will wipe your sms's .
There may be a way to adb pull your texts and even pics... If you can get into adb mode in your recovery. But you'd have search on that, I've never done it.
Anyway, Another option is from recovery, wiping system, data, cache and dalvik and clean installing your rom. Whatever that app did will be wiped. Pics will be fine. But again, sms gone.
That's all the ideas I have. Aside from returning to stock.

I have a nandroid backup when I installed the ROM, sure...
But I did not make a new one while installing RootCloaker, because it is "just an app". so the backup is too old any many SMS will be gone.
Can I access the device via ADB when it is in recovery?

If it has the option. In twrp it's in advanced menu I believe. Not sure about others.
Restoring your nandroid will likely get you running. In the future, backup texts with sms backup and restore or a similar app. Then you'll be good.
Or let go of the past like I do.... I start fresh with texts after every flash. But that's me. To each their own. ?
But at this point, you're missing out on your phones functionality over them. And whether you can pull the with adb , I'm not even sure.
Good luck though!
