Abnormal Reset - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I've followed THIS guide to root my HTC 10 and it worked fine ... until I did something stupid , well to be fair, it's the first time I tried the encryption feature.
I've enabled encryption on my SD card, and then removed the default keyboard ... long story short, I restored a backup that I took following an optional step6 in the guide:
"Run TWRP in read only mode, do a backup"
Now, when I remove system apps using titanium backup, they come back after reboot, and I get this notification "this phone just recovered from an abnormal reset"
S is still ON, and Factory reset didn't work, what can I do? I don't have any info or data on the phone/sdcard and a complete wipe is ok.
Thanks.

Flashed janjan rom and everything seems to be ok now.

[Q] Leedroid 2.4.1 freezing pre-boot - any way to fix or access user data?

***IT HAPPENED A SECOND TIME. THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO FIX IT BY CLEARING CACHE/DALVIK CACHE AND FLASHING A NEWER VERSION OF THE THE SAME ROM***
Hi guys,
I recently bought a Desire and loaded LeeDroid on a week later. Everything's been fine, until today, when I shut-down my phone and went to turn it back on, and it froze at the Telstra (telco who I bought it from) splash screen.
Here's what I did:
- Power + Vol- + trackball, which resulted in it restarting and freezing at the same point (15 minutes wait)
- Pulled battery and booted into recovery
- NAND Backup using AmonRA
- Restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, and rebooted, which resulted in phone freezing at the same point
- Shut down, removed SD Card, wiped using AmonRA, restored original (pre-LeeDroid) NAND backup, which enabled it to boot properly
- Restarted and flashed Leedroid Rom from ZIP, which worked fine.
- Restored today's NAND backup, which of course brought everything back to square one.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to access any of the contacts/SMS/etc? I was planning to back-up tonight as I'd put a whole heap of stuff in today, so of course this arvo was when it had to die. That and there's some stuff I'd really like to have that I'm not sure the relevant apps have stored on the SD.
And how can I ensure a clean restore? Run Telstra's RUU, then install LeeDroid as per instructions?
(EDIT) I notice that the NAND backups consist of a bunch of .img files. I imagine that data.img might have what I'm looking for in it. I've tried searching for a way to explore the contents, but I'm still trying to get unyaffs running...
Reflash or wipe cache and dalvik cache and reflash.

So you're suggesting I do the following?
- Restore freezing NAND backup
- Wipe Cache + Dalvik Cache
- Reflash LeeDroid from zip
Are the contacts all google contacts? If so you can recover those that way.
When you signed in for the first time after flashing the rom, while linking your google account, did you check "backup this phone to google servers"? If so, that should restore things if you wipe all and reflash the rom.
I used this option for the first time, and my wallpaper, shortcuts, alarm settings and SMS all restored after 5 minutes or so.
Unfortunately not. I didn't make the same mistake this time though >_>
Even so, I'm still hoping I might be able to pull some of the stuff out of the NAND backup.
Do you know if it's possible to fake/bypass the md5? If I can swap the data.img from the busted backup to a working one (the one before I put all my contacts in etc) then I should be able to access something.
Unfortunately that brings up an error, and I imagine the checksum is what's doing it.

[Q] problem with Cool3D AceS v4

Bonjour,
I've got a problem with this rom.
I've installed it with this link (http://www.cooldevs.com/archives/120), and just after it, flash:
- Stock_Hboot.zip
- RcTweaks For Stock Hboot
- Weather Pack
Reboot...
There was few decreasements in comparaison of InsertCoin, but the more annoying is the new Market which bug.
He try to restore me all apps (I don't know if it's linked to my problem)
I fell asleep during restauration of all apps andat wake up, I saw that few apps didn't ben restored.
- So I tried to restore them but impossible : I had an download error which was impossible to resolve even with delete the cache of Market application, wipe dalvik cache (executing the script which migrate it to sd-ext on the way). I precise that is was not a problem of space of my ext4.
- A second message at startup which tells me ""your phone is using more current than the charger is able to deliver...". For the moment, I never had this message (maybe it's because it's a pure Sense 3 rom I don't know...)
- In the way, I'm asking if there is a way to prevent Market to restore all apps at startup...because it's very penible if I have many applications, and I prefer to choose myself what I'd like to restore (if it's linked lso to my market problem...)
Edit : Even when restoring my rom, I've problem now with my market. Maybe it's the conversion on the fly of my ext3 partition to ext4 (to test the new rom) with 4ExtRecovery which has problem. So I return to recovery, check partition alignement which tell me that my fat32 is not properly aligned. I wipe partition table to rebuild all and I give you some news.
Edit 2: It changes nothing...now my market of my first rom don't work anymore...
Thanks a lot
OK, partition your card properly first and flash your new rom. Then during setup when you link your account to your phone, click you don't want it backed up and restored, remove both ticks. Then you hold power button and turn airplane mode on. You finish setup, push Titanium backup on your phone and restore your apps. Now you turn airplane mode off and the Market won't be downloading anything anymore. If you don't have TB backup, you're screwed mate. You can't abort silly Google restore nor you can choose what to install, flush list or do anything with it. It completely whacks a concept of having a clean install and that is the reason I hate ports even more. I know this is at best a workaround and not a solution, but probably you won't get anything better.

Ok, Thanks I'll try that for the future if I want to re install a new Rom but why I've this problem even in restoring my old rom?
And the most strange is that the problem is there also with my old HTC Hero under Cyanogen :-(.
Thanks.

Restoring of Nandroid Backup doesn't work

Hi,
I also had that bootloop error because of the faulty Google Play Store. So I did a nandroid backup and tried a few things to get rid of the bootloop.
This method was successful for me, so I restored my backup and followed the instructions again. Everything worked and I could boot flawlessly. But here's the thing: Everything's kinda messed up now! First of all, the home button doesn't work anymore! Also, some restored apps are crashing and some aren't there at all. My homescreen wasn't restored either, it's like I did a factory reset.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong?
Here's the exact steps what I did:
1. Flashed sandvolds ROM (default settings + updated mms setting).
2. Restored my backup.
3. Deleted all files with "vending" in it with adb (from sd-ext and system).
4. Copied the fixed Play Store in /system/app
5. Restarted.
No one knows?

Password changes after TWRP backup/reboot (?)

Recently I started trying out a few custom nougat roms, and as the title says, if I choose to backup my current rom with TWRP (official 3.0.3), and reboot back to system, the password will have changed and some system settings will be reset (hardware keys swap)
As far as I can tell, data/data still has my app folders in it, so I'm not sure if all the apps are reset too. One thing to note is that the backup size for data partition was only 70mb.
I can't really tell if it was caused by rebooting or initiating the backup process.
Data is not encrypted.
Anyone have any ideas?

I can't say anything about your backup,
but this is probably the solution for your password issue.
It is a known issue when restoring rom backups on the OP3.
So far I don't know a fix for this other than following the linked method.
For the future It is best you disable password / fingerprint before making a TWRP backup.
Be careful. It will delete the function of your Home Button (secon methode) and its not able to restore this function. So if youre going to delete the key.files you have the chance to enter the System but also have to go back to oos after back up your files -> the mega unbrick-thread
Its the best way to Backup your files before you restore the whole System if nothing's working.

(solved - don't know how) how decrypt phone encrypted by 9 ROM

EDIT 3-11-2019: Know that RSDlite-ing a stock ROM will give you an encrypted system.
EDIT Never mind - I solved it though I don't know how - it kept telling me that it couldn't mount Data. Took 2 RSDlite's of 8.0.0 and a few fastboots of 3.2.3 . at one point I tried a adv wipe of everything except internal and SDcard, and LO it formatted the Data . So then I could just nandroid restore my previous one (Alberto 9 64bit)
I'd love to know how to avoid it, though.
was on alberto 9
1.82 bootloader
did full clean wipe and installed this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/development/rom-aosip-9-0-beta-t3859578
on first boot it asked for password which of course I didn't have.
back to twrp but when I try anything it says busy.
RSD lite rafikowy's 8.0.0, but it auto encrypts on first boot.
Help!
Thanks!
I tried about "ten times" with rafikowsky rom, I did all tricks mentioned in xda and it encrypts each time I boot it. No way to get rid of encryption

yeah.
each time I rsd'ed 8.0.0, I then flashed twrp 3.2.3 (twice) and booted to twrp and tried to format Data. The problem I kept having was that Data wouldn't show as mounted. Then at some point in there I clicked on mount (data was checked), backed out,
clicked on wipe, advanced and checked dalvik/art,data,system, and slid the slider and NOW it wiped AND formatted. Don't know why.
You have to format Data (in TWRP) to get rid of encryption.
Then I just restored a nandroid that I took before I started playing yesterday and voila, back where I was.
Yeah I know.I somehow managed to mount and format data and when I boot to system afterwards - it starts encrypting again.

Now THAT's interesting.
In my case I
rsdlite'ed 8.0.0
flash twrp from laptop(I do it twice in a row)
boot to twrp
managed to format data somehow,
immediately nandroided a non encrypted rom (alberto's aosp 9 64bit)
and haven't been bothered by it again.
I gotta say, this makes me more than a bit afraid to go flashing 9 stuffs other than what I've been flashing. even flashing Alberto's 32 bit scares me as this came out of the blue.
At least in worst case I can always go back to 8.0.0 and let that update as much as it can and just run that. I was hoping for a security current updated ROM which was why I was going with Alberto's 64 bit - which is no more.
Before I did any of this I went to twrp and backed up and then plugged to computer and copied internal and SDcard to my computer since I knew I would lose internal (that's where my TBPro bakup is!!!!) and wasn't sure about SDcard.
read this one - to format DATA change to ext4 and then back to f2fs.
