Phone Process Failed

Stock rooted, S-OFF
Picked up the phone earlier and went to make a call only to be thrown into a phone process failed loop. Try to make a call, fail.... Let it reset and try, fail.... Restart, try call, fail.
Have done nothing to the phone since last it worked fine with no problem cept a Titanium backup last night. I'm restoring all apps and data now but it's way super slow so thought ask in the mean time.
Would applying the Nov OTA via same process as before restore it to factory?:

Or would there be a more preferred process to get it back factory? Don't mind losing everything as I have all data and apps backed up several times so can get it back.
What's your ideas on how to get back to stock and keep root? Or maybe stock then rooting again? Ya know, if the backup fails...

Well you should be able to to a factory reset, or use the PB31IMG.zip in hboot to reflash the latest stock rom.

Yeah, I'm back to stock now and just made a test call that worked. Now it's time to root it again and then be very selective what I put on it.

[Q] Google Now driving me nuts!

Hello peeps!
I would be after some advice to help me figure out what the hell is up with Google Now!
First of all here is my setup... Stock JB (3.14.707.24), Unlocked Bootloader, CWM Recovery. (Tried some custom ROMs but found them a little unstable on my device, although tried plenty of ROMs while on ICS without problems)
Now, Google Now seemed to work fine, until I restored a Nandroid Backup. That, as far as I'm aware, shouldn't have caused a problem as the phone seems to be running as was before I installed a custom ROM. I "long press Home", Google Now opens, I get the commute card but nothing else. I can ask it things, such as weather and other searches that usually return a spoken reply, but nothing! It just brings up regular search results.
I have tried... Clearing data, uninstalling updates, signing out then back in to Google, disabling then re-enabling location services, changing language (using More Locale 2 from Play Store) back and forth between UK and US... Nothing seems to work. I didn't swipe my weather card away, it just ceased to appear. I have searched the web to find out if there was a problem with Googles' servers, but there doesn't appear to be.
Short of reinstalling the official RUU, which I'm not convinced will do the trick, I'm at a total loss for ideas, so I put it to the floor! Can anyone suggest anything that I haven't tried!
Thanks so much in advance!

Did you wipe your system and cache before installing the nandroid backup??
Im not sure whether that will do the trick... But its worth a try.

I'm pretty sure I did... I always make a point of performing a full wipe before installing either a ROM or backup, but perhaps I'll have another go. I might even bite the bullet and try a complete RUU install as I have everything backed up via My Backup Pro anyway. Will see what I can do on my next day off work!
Thanks for the advice.

Also which ROM are you using?

I'm on stock, just unlocked with CWM installed. No SU, no Busybox, no nothing. I doubt the recovery is causing the issue. I had tried ARHD 17.1 and Renovate 11 but both seemed to cause issues so I went back to stock via a Nandroid backup. May have another crack at a custom ROM, if that doesn't satisfy, I'll probably flash the RUU and see if that does the trick.
Fingers crossed! At least I haven't bricked the phone yet!

[Q] N7 bootlooping on custom rom?

Okay, so I bought the n7 v2, went home, unlocked the boot loader, and rooted it. I've tried to flash versions of vanir I built my self, the betas that are posted here on the forums, and I also tried carbon ROM. Every time I flash a ROM, my device bootloops, so I just hold power + vol down to get to boot loader mode so I can boot into recovery. Any fix for this? I've tried flashing a stock IMG and re rooting to. No luck.

With four different ROMs, 2 transfered via adb and 2 from different download hosts, I doubt its a bad download.

you should've mentioned that in your original post. id try to reflash to complete stock and start all over. it seems like something you modified in the first rom you've flash isn't being removed from another flash,so going back to stock,you can be sure everything is working first.hope this helps

I did mention that in the original post, as well as the fact that ive flashed stock a few times already.

Did you boot into the tablet after unlocking the bootloader but before rooting it? If not, try formatting data (not factory resetting) in recovery. I had the same experience and my sdcard never got populated with the default folders and files, remaining at 0MB. Apparently, symptoms of this problem include being unable to factory reset from recovery, being stuck on the splash screen, and having TWRP demand a password.

I'll try that, maybe its because I restore my data after I wipe it that this happens. Another thing I've found is that after I flash and the restore my system partition that I backed up, su says that no subject binary was found, even though I've flashed it a million times. And some root apps don't work because it says no binary is found.

[SOLVED][Q] [C6506] [CWM 6.0.4.7] Restore - Baseband/IMEI Unknown

Running AOKP KK 4.4.2, I made a full backup of my system using CWM Recovery 6.0.4.7. I reinstalled stock ROM 4.2.2 10.3.1.A.2.67 to check for upgrades. (Sony removed all 4.3 upgrades for the C6506.
After that, I reflashed the boot.img, and restored my backup. On boot, the cell signal was "No Service". Looking at status, no Baseband, No IMEI, and no service.
Only way around it was to restore the stock ROM and then do a clean install of AOKP. I have been unable to restore a CWM backup.
I had my charger plugged in during both backup and restore. While I did read there was a bug with CWM and chargers, before I try this again, does anyone here have a suggestion or workaround? Be a shame not to be able to use Backup/Restore.
Thank you.

I have same issue after restoring back obtained by CWM for AOKP ROM 4.4 kitkat network is lost......best way is to restore the backup first and get all the data and apps in place .....................
And then dirty flash the AOKP ROM zip and gapps you will get the network back.
This will get you all your apps and data back ...some of the data is lost like progress in temple run so also back up all apps and data by Titanium backup. Apps can also be restored with data if something is missing.

Seems awful kludgy. I am glad to know there is a problem, but this workaround is good to know. I still think the bug portends something more serious. For example, I lose my home screen settings (I only backup user apps). Oh well.
Thanks and keep posted if you learn more.

So, which baseband worked fine, and what do you currently have installed on your phone?
Btw, you you can flash the baseband only part of the ftf...
And I hate that my 6506 reports that it's a 6503... I should do something about that.

Sony only publishes open source AOSP for the 6XX3 models. The 6502, 6503, and 6506 have identical hardware except for radio frequencies supported. So any AOSP flavor will cause slight loss of functionality in terms of frequencies covered.
I tried reflashing just the baseband after this issue. It did not help. For me (although I did not try the dirty flashing method yet), the only thing that worked was to reinstall clean AOKP on top of clean Sony Firmware. Anything with a backup and restore resulted in no baseband/IMEI.

When I do a restore I always do a full wipe first, then install system (+ gapps if wanted), then restore data only. Maybe this would work?!

THAT is a good suggestion

Now, have you experienced the problem we are describing here? Have you tried the dirty install method proposed? Curious now. I like the idea of installing data only. Will try. Thx

No, I didn't have that particular problem. But I often had problems with restores when coming from other ROMs/kernels. This always worked for me...

Kudos for your suggestion. I went from stock --> unloick bootloader --> install boot.img --> install custom ROM zips and Gapps --> restore DATA only using CWM Recovery. On first boot, everything is fine. Baseband, IMEI shows fine.
Thank you again. this is a terrific solution and should be pinned. (@MOD). Cheers.:cyclops:

Can't install or Modify ROM (decrypted)

I installed Viper out of curiosity. However, after a reboot, it asked for the pin for decrypting. I deleted the stock keyboard, so I couldn't type the pin.
So, I wanted to go back to my back up of BadBoyz. Well, in TWRP, it asks for pin as well. I hit cancel, but I can't modify anything still.
I can't install a new ROM, I can't modify ROM, and I can't do anything, because it doesn't mount internal sd.
What can I do to get my backup back?
TIA.

I had a similar issue after I gained S-off and formatting data in TWRP seemed to fix the issue. I was able to restore my backup of BB without issue.

That's what I had to do.
Sadly, people confused the issue with a recovery issue, without understanding completely.
