Severely handicapped my OS

Hello,
I should mention I'm running the dark_hd CM9 rom, rooted S-OFF.
So earlier today I was in the bootloader and accidently hit Clear Storage. It brought up a black screen with an image of an open box and then my phone rebooted normally.. fat fingered it somehow. Oops.
Upon loading the OS it immediately asked me for my Google info and I knew something was wrong. All of my apps icons are there on the launcher screen, however none of them are installed except for the basic apps. Also, when I tried to install Titatium Backup again, it says 'Unfortunately, .. has stopped'. I tried to reinstall a few more apps and each one says 'Unfortunately...has stopped". Before I restored, I wanted to see if I could get back some of my data and make a fresh Titanium backup of it all.
I have a few apps like a a logbook program and my Heytell conversations that I would like to see if the data is still there before I do a full restore or a wipe. Is there any way I can fix this "Unfortunately" error? Also, if I do a restore, will my app data be saved or will it revert back to the info that was there when I did the backup? Thanks.

So you hit factory reset from the hboot menu? You could check /data/data and see if the settings for your apps are still there, but i doubt it. You should also check /data/app and see if the apps apk is still there. If it is there, delete it and then try reinstalling it again. If you do a backup, it will restore the data that was backed up. You can do an advanced restore and restore everything except data.

Did you have any apps moved to sdcard? As it almost sounds like that could be the case if some of the data for the phone like the launcher homescreen data is still intact but the apps were on the sdcard which would be part of storage.

I'm sorry it was CM9. Fixed. I had CM10 on the brain as I was getting read to flash the Pons CM10 ROM. I didn't have any luck recovering any of the data so I just wiped it and flashed a new rom. I was able to run Titanium and recovery the data but I still lost some since my last backup. Thanks anyways.

Strange things happening

Today I wanted to upload the new P5210 OEM Rom P5210UEUANB2. So I set up ODIN and loaded without issues. I then installed TWRP and rooted. After all that was done, I started setting the system up to the way I like it by using NoBloat to remove apps. I must have removed one that was associated with my Play Store app. This app opens and then closes just as fast.
So the next thing I did was to restore to my last save which was yesterday. I restored and the problem followed. It should be noted that when I restored, the system went back to the previous version. I am guessing that it was something in one of the caches that did not clear. So I wiped all the caches and restored again. Same thing, Play Store opened and closed just as fast.
Next I loaded the OEM Rom of the version P5210UEUAMK1. Now I get to the setup wizard and it FC's in the middle of me answering questions.
I would like to completely clean this things clock and start fresh with the AMK1 rom. How would I do that in TWRP? Would I wipe both caches, data, system and internal storage? Or would I Format Data? I guess I could try, there has to be a very basic boot level eprom in the system to at least get it into download mode.
Waiting for some advise and appreciate any you can give. Thanks.

I think I found the problem. It was not anything I did last night, it was what I did a few days ago and saved as part of my backup. It would appear that I broke the Play Store but did not realize it until now. I restored the next oldest backup and everything is working as it should. I knew I should test certain apps before I do a backup. LOL

Titanium Backup hang

Hi,
have a question and hope you can help me.
Became my M9 today from o2 Germany, unlock bootloader over HTC, install TWRP for M9 and root with SuperSU.zip ... Device is root, Titanium Backup work, key is installed, but when I start the batch to restore all user apps with data, it hangs at 0% :crying:

What?! How do you unlock your Hboot via HTCDev? M9 still isnt supportet to unlock by HTC..

Does it hang on the same app every time?

No on every app

something like this I knew from my good old I9300. Might be a supersu thing. Although I read somewhere, twrp for the M9 seems not to write to system partition.
As I got my M9 yesterday, I'm still staying away from debranding and unlocking stuff atm.

Rooted. There are limitations. \system is not writeable, as was initially on the M8 until insecure kernels were released here. Titanium Backup can't write to removable sdcard yet. I still have a hornet's nest of diagnostic software running and I have to give it a wide berth because logging is required on test devices.
Wonder if anyone there will notice what I've done after the overnight logs......

TWRP can mount the system partition; I got myself into plenty of trouble yesterday as a result and had to do a factory reset. The good news, however, was that doing so wiped internal memory and its infernal encryption. (I had encrypted the internal sdcard at the request of HTC during the testing process). Apparently, you can encrypt and unencrypt the removable media willy nilly (although you'll get a layered effect where files stored during encryption can't be read unless the card is encrypted or re-encrypted), but you cannot unencrypt the internal sdcard without a factory reset. I have politely suggested that they make that fact abundantly clear in the user i/o for encryption, 'cause it isn't now.
I'm on stock recovery for now, but I'll probably return to TWRP shortly so I can do nandroids.
The \system partition, however is still unwriteable from within the ROM. I few folks I know are working on a workaround, but I haven't seen anything definitive yet.
Keep in mind, also, that this is a test device and there are certain "gotcha's" such as another copy of supersu somewhere in the system to run all the diagnostic software --- the result is that a \data only nandroid would require 23gigs at this point. Not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent.

Hanging here too and also won't freeze apps.
I know SuperSU is there and working correctly because I have successfully modified files on the system partition
- permissions\platform.xml
- that damn boot up sound
Stay gone after reboot too, stock boot.img as well.

Same issue here ... Unlocked Bootloader, root access and TTB hangs at 0% no matter how long you wait.
But I helped myself with a little work around:
Go to TTB Settings; on the very bottom theres a setting if problems during restore occure. Change it to the classic install method. You have to validate every single app install, but hey ... As long there's no other way, fine with me

Yeah, does data as well

Still digging here, but I feel it is related to ro.secure=1
With this set it says its done but its not.
with ro.secure=0 adb doesn't work for me and titanium backup hangs

Same problem. Just got my HTC One, unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP and SuperSu. TB hangs...
Will try the manual mode...

Hello,
I am wondering if anyone is able to restore Viber properly. I am having some strange results when I restore it. I am able to restore it using the old method mentioned here, and the app is restored with data. The problem comes when I open the app once. As soon as I open it it shows all my messages for a second then kind of resets itself, and asks for a verification code again. I have no other option then entering the code (the program acts like a fresh install). After that all my messages are gone (though the call log and contacts are still there). Feel like I have to relearn all over again. Any help is appreciated.
I have tried multiple things:
1. Restore using old method mentioned here
2. Installed from Play store, then restored only data
3. Tried making a update.zip and restoring from recovery
4. Tried to just restore about 5 times in a row ( don't think this really didn't anything, once should be enough to put the data there)
Thanks,
Rsotbiemrptson

Chiming in. Same issue. Unlocked, rooted, TiBu & key installed, hangs on any restore. I tried auto/indirect and that didn't help. "classic mode" worked, although in some cases I still had to do a data restore after doing an app+data restore for some apps.

same thing. unlocked, rooted ti pro installed hangs on any restore. will restore data if i install the app then restore data (some apps I have older apps + data & cant do this tho).
auto / indirect but no dice.

I can't get TB to backup to my SD card. It keeps saying it can't write to it. Anyone know what the issue is?

I believe I fixed the hang issue and will contact the Dev to build it in. I'll provide a zip soon and instructions.

Google Backup

Dear,
i have setup the backup & reset
Backup my data is on
backup account is my gmail account
Automatic restore is on
but when i try to restore from htc backup , it's shown None !!
would you please help
BR
Bikoo

any help?

any help?

Thing the issue is HTC backup, don't believe that it directly uses Google Backup. So when you do a Google Backup, you are backing up your apps list, WIFI passwords, etc. When you do a restore, you don't get personalization like you did with HTC backup. Think that HTC is getting away from the backup, and using the HTC transfer wizard.

OMG means no more full backup !!! as my M7 use to be !!

HTC Backup was retired with MM Android.
If you don't think your backup is working turn it off and turn it back on wait 24h as it seems to like to backup when the phone is idle during the night.
To check the status of your backup go to you Google Drive or use the App on the phone - click on settings then Manage backup and it will show when your apps was backed up. If you have no backups again go back to turn it off and back on and it should kick back into life.
I had to do it on my 10 as it had kept my old M8 backups after I lost all data when i S-offed lol it was only a few days out so didnt lose much.
Google backup is actually quite good these days it just works....when it works

Thanks , i follow ur instruction and lets see after 24 as it was on already but no backup so i make refresh .. lets see
Thank you

If I am not mistaken, with MM backup, you can only restore when you are first setting up the phone as new or after a reset. It will ask you to restore after you enter your Google account.
The restore option you see in your HTC 10 is to restore from an HTC Back up, which you might have made from another phone. When using the back up in HTC 10 it will go to Google back up, not HTC backup.

You will not be able back up all your data, but you will get all apps downloaded from Play Store to download again. As for the backup data, you can check what you have backed up by going to the "Drive" app, settings & "Manage backup". You will find a list of all backed up apps on Google.

Manage backup from Drive app is empty !

Can't say why, but that probably means you don't have a Google backup. See the accounts settings, is Google syncing OK in accounts & sync?

I had that problem on both my old M8 and the 10, i had to turn the backup off and back on wait 24h and it seems to kick it back into life. Once it start working it seems to work perfectly keeping the backups fresh and up to date..
As there isn't a manual switch its a bit of a pain as you have to wait so long before you can see if it helped or not.

All SMS apps crashing

Hello! Yesterday I decided to update my OP3 to the latest version, and as usual, I rooted it and restored with titanium backup. Everything went as usual, but today I decided to send a SMS and the stock app kept crashing, so I tried to use messenger (from Facebook) it crashed when I enabled SMS.
Later, I searched about this and found that i needed to clean data and cache, but when I checked on the application section I had none, the cache and data were empty.
I've already tried to use 3rd party apps to send messages, but all crashed the same way as the stock.
How can I fix this? I don't want to factory reset again my phone, is a pain to restore the data.

Thats been an issue with the OTA updates. Seems not to work right (never advised anyone to do ota as a single millisecond of data loss causes issues)
You may have to end up Factory resetting. Also TIBU messes up google messaging service so you will end up with apps not giving notifications properly.

People have said that reinstalling the apps without wiping the data works. I just set everything up again. But then I like most developers use less then 10 apps on our devices other then the stock apps.
