:crying: every time there's a security update, I try to restore stock boot.img but it (the updater) says 'installation problëm' forcing me to restore stock rom and data.
My only wish is that there was a workaround without starting from scratch. Any suggestions???
The prob was bubbleupnP when I use gplay music, it's fixed the problem. :good:

Just flashed the new AOKP milestone 2 yesterday. It was working fine until this morning when it spontaneously went into the google logo boot loop. Went into CMR and deleted data/cache, tried to reflash any roms. Starts to flash the rom but quits after giving an "offset xxxxx" error. Reboot gets the boot loop again. Please help.
Hey
Search on here for roms to flash using Odin or adb/fastboot.
Your phone is grand you just need to flash a stock rom using one of the above methods. Then you can re-root and apply your roms again
Good luck!
Yes. As above you need to find stock images and flash in fast boot.

Yeah, I just flashed the stock rom using fastboot yesterday. Can't do that on my computer at work. Another thing is that the restore using CWM doesn't seem to work for me. Backs up fine but I get an error at the end of the restore process(forget the exact error right now).
Not looking forward to restoring all my data and apps again for the third time in the past two days. I hate how it's difficult to using Titanium Backup to restore since the internal SD card is erased. I did back up to dropbox, but the restore only restored 6 apps from there. Ugh. Any way to transfer my backup files off the phone in CWM to my computer? Thanks
I use appmanager (team android) for backup. It lets you back up all apps, then you can copy the backup folder onto your computer. Then once you rebuild your phone, install appmanager again and copy over the backup folder. Some roms have the auto restore feature which installs all your apps once you sign into your Google account on the phone. I hate when these things happen, restoring apps is always a pain. Best of luck anyway.
i have my phone since ICS. Right now i'm having this weird issue. i installed trickster mod and it says i have an outdated busybox so i updated it then after sometime phone doesnt receive/sent text messages. i don't know if its the busybox that cause the problem. i've been flashing mods before and i never encountered this problem. is flashing RUU the same as factory reset? will i lose all my media files if i flash RUU? i just want to clean my phone from unnecessary files. any suggestions? TIA
Just uninstall busybox and trickster .... and yes a ruu deletes everything !
Or just return back to stock with the stock nandroid backup you made in the first place........because everybody has a stock nandroid backup !
thanks. i do have backup but i'll maybe try the RUU. for fresh and clean HOX.
Hello!
I'm in a bit of panic. Since Google pushes their stuff over OTA and my custom rom PAC somehow didn't deal with that correctly, it caused to use all my data, so I wanted to give stock 4.3 a try.
Rebooted into CWM, made a backup of my current ROM, free unused backup data, did a factory reset like always and flashed the 4.3 image. Wasn't happy at all with stock 4.3 so I wanted to go back. To my horror, restoring that image failed. Error while restoring /data!. I tried booting up anyway, maybe only a few settings were lost, but it started like the first time I flashed the ROM with the gapps log-in thing and all my apps are gone.
I tried getting back in CWM, manually restored /data, but that didn't work either. It starts restoring /data but then halfway through it stops with the error.
Previous backups (AOKP/CM/PAC) didn't restore /data either.
Installing Nandroid Manager to restore individual apps to a fresh ROM fails too. It sees all apps but it can't restore anything at all.
I have come to the discovery that apps won't even install. Apps manually extracted from the backups are 0kb and I can't seem to install some apps from the Play Store either. Unknown error code during application install: "-24"
Does 4.3 change anything about where the /data partition is? Or what happened?
What's the problem and can I even restore the data? Or do I have to start over?

have the same story with galaxy note 2..
Flash backwards first
not an expert here, but isnt the general protocol to try to flash back to the same version of the os first (i.e 4.2.2), and then try the CWM restore?
Are you able to try to track down the same os version you had before?
Have the same issue with my i717

I flashed back to 4.2.2 and then tried restore, but no luck. It gave me the same error (Error while restoring /data).
I am just tired of wiping, trying a new rom, setting it up, finding problems too big to live with and repeating the process. So I used TWRP to put my backed up system back on the phone but when it boots up tons of things are missing. Google apps are all gone, no root. Did I do something wrong? I backed up all the tick boxes when I made my backups, yet so much is missing?
Flash th stock through odin. Then flash twrp and this time restore only data from nandroid.

Thanks. I did flash my original firmware just now via odin, but I thought that would resolve my encryption problem. I made a thread about it here, I don't know if you could chime in on that thread if you have any ideas on my new issue? Thanks: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/questions-relating-to-fresh-odin-t3057860
Okay let me start by saying that I have 3 backups of my entire phone made through TWRP. Yesterday I was configuring some flashable ZIPs to install a simple app like SMSgo through recovery. I then installed the ZIP. It was successful but the app was nowhere to be found so I decided to restore a backup. I restored the newest one, when I booted I ran into some problems, I was stuck in a loop of lock screen and boot animation. I then searched the web for solutions. On some forums somebody suggested to wipe internal storage and flash boot.emmc.win from my backup through fastboot. I did so and when I booted my phone was factory fresh and okay. But I didn't have my numbers and sms so I restored a backup... BAD idea. My phone was optimizing apps as I booted, it failed near the end, System UI has stopped it said and then threw me on setup screen without on screen buttons. I tried to restore every single backup I had, the same story with everyone, the best result I got was that it optimized all aps and then crashed system UI.
I went on web and searched for TWRP backups that fit my CID HTC__032 and restored. As I'm typing this I'm running factory fresh 4.4.4 from backup and only OTA I can download is 70mb fix. I didn't update yet cuz I dont have stock recovery.
I am currently not rooted as this downloaded backup wasn't but all backups I made myself are rooted. I have also unlocked bootloader and S-ON running TWRP.
What should i do now? I want to get to stock (preferably get one of my backups working) so I will be able to receive OTAs
The downloaded back is for HTC__032cid, 3.28.401.6 version as it was one of few which had working download links.

Also worth mentioning that when I rooted before all this happened I had problems with crashing of TV app and I couldn't browse internal storage that I solved with:
adb shell
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Here's a stock recovery download.
Here's a stock rooted backup. I'm not sure if that's really what you are looking for though.
You could also try running the 4.16.401.10 RUU to update. That would clean up your phone so that you can start with a fresh slate. The RUU download is here.
After the RUU, you should be able to restore your nandroids. Probably after the OTAs as well.
As I'm typing this I have successfully flashed stock recovery and made an OTA update with my phone from 3.28.401.6 on 4.16.401.10, what concerns me is that I cannot access internal storage and TV app is crashing.
Same problem as my previous post:

Also I can't turn on WIFI after OTA so I'll try to run that RUU and report if the problem fixes itself. I don't really want to mess with root unless I have to.
EDIT: RUU fails with error code 155: UNKNOWN ERROR, shall I just do what used to work before? or you have other ideas?
Edit2: Did a factory reset and all problems are gone. Just obe more thing, the mobile signal seems weak, is it possible that my radio got messed up? Can I restore radio from one of my backups ?
