Its been 3 nights in a row I've had the phone mess up after a nights charging. Specifically, I unplug the phone and begin to use it until I realize my program files are completely missing. No app will launch, and eventually the phone just freezes requiring a reset. Without actually hard resetting, the phone does this itself just by pressing the reset button.
I've restored it and had the same thing happen, and today, figuring it was just the charging over night issue, I soft reset the phone. It wasn't a soft reset, the phone hard reset itself again. What in gods name could possibly be causing this? I suspect the registry is corrupting or something, but even flashing a different ROM doesnt appear to fix it. (unless possibly a file i restore with spb backup is corrupt?)
I would try to install a new ROM (maybe ROMeOS 1.90 or the original ROM that came with the TP), hardreset the TP and run it without restorimg a backup from SPB the first days. So you can test wether the SPB Backup is corrupted. Did you take out the battery for an hour or more?

I've flashed back a ROM and restored to see if it'll do it again. I had the most problems this morning when I restored a backup onto a different ROM so I'll see if it does the same thing if I flash back to the ROM the backup was from. (note: I didnt restore system files)
My best guesses are:
Corrupt backup
Corrupt backup - PIM component
ROM issues - Faulty flashing?
Malfunctioning rilphone.dll (I noticed this morning the phone reported I had no service although edge was active)
Charging issues (swapped battery incase)
What effect would having the battery out for an hour be?
I've had the same problem recently although I don't use spb backup, I have posted about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501091
So far after flashing back to stock rom and back to a cooked one it working ok, well it lasted a night and a day which is better than before.

Hey there
I have bought this fine piece of software but iam having trouble with it!
I am mainly going to use it for restoring after rom upgrading (These days a new "must-try" rom comes out allmost every day!)
I can make full backups with without any problems, but when i try to restore after a rom upgrade it gets stuck at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. The box stops spinning around and it nothing happens.. Only solution is a soft reset!
I have tried to Force Rom Upgrade mode but that does not help either..
Anyone that knows of this?

It works, disable close all running programs in the menu and try...
I've used the SPB restore function several times without problems. You might try posting a message in SPBs support forum... They might have seen this before.
Hi,
I'va had CM7 a10 flashed on my Sensation for a few days. A couple of days ago I've decided to get back to Stock ROM, and then the problems started. Before installing CM7 everything was fine. After restoring my backup from before flashing CM7 weird things started to happen (apps dissapearing, settings changing on their own, hangs, and other stuff). So I've done a SuperWipe a few times, and flashed a completely new Stock ROM via USB using: RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.50.401.1_Radio_10.56.9035.00U_10.14.9035.01_M_release_223042_signed file. Then I've done a few factory resets, just in case. But still weird things are happening (eg. now I have a clean phone - once again - and trying to setup the sync options and the options app hangs everytime. and installing something from market is like praying for a miracle). I've tried doing factory reset, clear cache/dalvik (but with dalvik CWM recovery says that the partition or files wasn't found). Don't know what to do. Does anyone have any ideas ?? Please help. Phone worked fine before, and after CM7 everything is f*cked up
Wierd, looks like you've tried everything I could think of while reading the post.
Do you still have a nandroid backup of CM7, if so does that work if you restore ?
Can you use ADB to get to the phone ? If so you could check some things from there.
When you installed the RUU from the PC, did it install without errors ? Presumably you had to re-install CWM after that.
CM7 nand backup works fine after restore.
I can use ADB to comunicate with the phone.
No errors while updating RUU.exe / CWM recovery flashed without problems also after that.
I think that there's something screwed up with the file permissions.
I've downloaded and installed about 20 apps since the last HR, and now I have about 40 apps more queued in Market, and as before the downloads are stuck every 1-2 apps. Then I have to restart to CWM recovery and run fix permissions. After that another 1-2 apps will download and get stuck again, and so on...
Anyone has any ideas what the hell is going on ? Because my I'm getting more then irritated by this, and beggining to think that the best solution will be to send my phone flying through the window.
A few questions first.
What country are you in?
Who is your carrier?
What version did your phone originally come with? I believe 1.5xxxxx RUU was released recently, but I could be wrong.
Did you ever change your CID?
Have you ever flashed a new radio and RIL?
Did you copy all of the data from your SD card to your computer, then format your SD card using the phone?
Answer these questions and try the SD card thing, then report back. I may be able to help.
Poland.
T-Mobile (Sensation) / Play Mobile (Gio)
Don't remeber what version my Sensation originally came with - I have a 1.50.401.1 RUU that I'm flashing with currently.
Yes, I've changed CID to 11111111 some time ago, but I'm back to original HTC__001 now.
No I haven't changed my radio or RIL.
I've tried formatting the SD card using the phone, my laptop, my linux NAS, my other phones.
The weird thing is that yesterday all of this was progressing. It came to a point that after a factory reset or even a whole ROM reflash nothing would install (not even Market update). And this also started to happen on my Samsung Gio. So after very very very frustrating evening, and part of the night I gave up. And in the morning it was still the same (on both my android phones). But now things are starting to work (updates/installs). So I think I'm going to blame the whole thing on Google and Market. I'll see what happens while I'll install all my apps in the next few hours.
Still have to restart the phone every 1-3 apps installed. This is driving me crazy
I followed the instructions exactly on this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663169
CM9 seemed to work fine for a while. I installed Titanium Backup and brought back my apps and just a bit of system data (contacts, voicemail, texts, etc). After I had restored those things, it said it suggested a reboot. I did that, but now it just reboots over and over. I can't get in to the OS for more than a few seconds before it reboots again. Help please!
As that thread specifies, I have a MX2 from CSpire. For now I don't care so much about getting CM9 working as just getting my phone back to a working state. I have both a nandroid and titanium backup on the sd card. I just need very specific instructions on how to get back to the way it was (2.3.6) given that I can't get in to the OS.
Edit: Pulling the battery doesn't resolve anything
Does it let you stay in long enough to remove the app/settings you restored? Are you able to get into recovery mode at all?
If you can get into recovery you might first want to try Fix Permissions and see how that works. If this does not solve it then consider doing a factory wipe and start restoring your apps/settings again one by one and rebooting in between until you get to the particular one that started your reboot problem.
What ROM were you on prior to CM9? Although they should be largely universal sometimes there are some slight changes in custom ROMs that might work well in many other ROMs but not in a select few. Other times it is an app that is not compatible.
The post below might be of some help since your phone seems to have a different method of getting into recovery than what I have dealt with so far.

Factory Restore DX2
This might help. It's a factory restore, like you just bought it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
After much sweat, tears, and button pressing, I have gotten it back to stock CM9 and it seems to be behaving as expected. I am going to install apps one by one and reboot between every install. Hopefully I'll find the culprit soon enough.
Hi, guys...
Hope that you can help me...
I've been using CM10.1 for a few month, and since the last month, my sensation shutdown without motives a few times in a day... after looking for information in Internet, reset the phone, installing other different roms, I have discovered that these shutdowns only occur with non Sense, CM10.1, roms..., and after two weeks of investigations, I discover that these shutdowns occur with random access to the SDCard... So I decide to format the SDCard, After this, the phone works great for two o three days, and the shutdowns appears again...
Some guys told me that this can be caused by a broken SDCard, so I replace the one that I use with a new SDCard... Them, the phone works great again for a few days, and them, the shutdowns appear again...
Tired of this situation, I decided to install a rom with Sense, and with this rom, the shutdowns have disappeared...
I don't like much the Sense rom, it is slower than a non Sense rom, I was very happy with the speed of the CM10.1 rom...
Any one can help me with this particular? Some guys told me that this may be causes by a virus, but I reset the phone to factory status everytime that I install a new rom to test, and I format the SDCard too...
Thanks in advance.

interesting discovery. Can u tell more about battery percentage when shutdown occurs? In my case, it only happens when I'm below 20%. Doubt this stuff is caused by a virus.
Do you recall installing a certain app just before the shutdowns started happening?
sidenote, make a new nandroid after formatting your SDcard

Hi...
In my case, sometimes is with low battery, sometimes in full charge, sometimes around 50% of chargge... I try to check every app I install... for a few times, after install swiftkey and download two languages, spanish and english, phone shutdown when typping an sms or note (perhaps the swiftkey dictionary was installed on SDCard, and here is the SDCard access again), Sometimes the phome shutdown taking a photo... and the photo was recorded on the SDCard, so here is the SDCard access again, jejeje...
Some guys told me about this particular, maybe is the effect of a virus, but I formated the SDCard (sometimes I change the SDcard by a new SDCard, just out of the box), and the phone... The only thing that I don't test is the nandroid after SDCard formatting... Hope to try it this noon at my home...
I will keep you informed...

Hi...
After try nandroid, use a fresh install of XenonHD, with a formated SDCard... Shutdowns again... Now I on Sense 4 rom (the one from V6 maniac), and the phone works ok...
Sad times for me...
Try this DUDE it works for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xXR7Ra3f2LU
Well I was experiencing that too on my wife's phone (dont have ansensation)and It seemed the only thing that worked was a GB ROM. Did it even updating to the ota ICS not rooted. Except it would always reboot multiple times a day after flashing rom. Until I flashed in this order:
1) full wipe
2) flash firmware
3) full wipe again
4) then flash ROM
Haven't had reboots anymore

Hi guys...
After try all your suggestions... (my battery is an anker 1900 mAh, not the original, and fit really good on the phone, no moves, no gaps), the only thing that work for me was format all the phone, partitions and SDCard... install new Kernel 3.4.10 based on HTC Ville C2 kernel, flash the new Reveleation Rom from SebastianFM, and then, the new JB Sense 4+ ViperS 3.1.0 Rom from Team Venon, and all the problems and random shutdowns are dessapear.
Working flawless for 8 days, and happy with this rom and new kernel.
Hope to try CM10.1 soon again...
Hi, guys...
Now I on CM 10.1 again, just with a simple trick, a small plastic piece, in the top part of the battery, placed between the battery and the phone... doing pressure on the contacts of the battery... Now, the phone don't shutdown, just a screen blink, and everything works great.
Search in youtube for the trick, a few videos show it.
Hi guys, wasn't sure where to post this and I've been searching the web for hours without coming up with an answer with the best way to fix the problem I've got.
So yesterday my sister gave me her phone saying it was shat and slow and generally rubbish (S4 i9505 running 4.4.2). So I had a brief look at it and she had absolutely no room on the phone at all, it was completely clogged. So I deleted all the cache data (4 gigs!!), as soon as I did this the phone came back to life and started updating everything it could, then made a backup in CWM. Thought while I'm here I may as well put the official Lollipop firmware on it from Sammobile. All was good until I realised that she has never backed anything up to google or any other cloud storage (pretty dumb!) and all of her important stuff I couldn't get back.
So I then had to try and extract some data from the CWM backup... couldn't do it. I just couldn't find the files that she wanted restored. Mainly whatsapp messages and pictures and also Smemo. These are all she needs, there's really important memos apparently, why the hell she never backed them up or had another copy of them is beyond me if they were that important!
So I tried restoring just the data part of the 4.4 CWM restore to the 5.0 rom, looking back now I see this is where I went wrong and was asking for trouble.
So I then tried rolling back to the full CWM backup, all went well so I assumed and it said it was successful. This was until the phone booted. Constant spamming of gapps has stopped working, and no matter what I did I couldn't get it to stop, the phone was unusable with it constantly pinging up, every app was failing, and then it would turn itself off and reboot.
So I Factory reset again and wiped everything, installed the backup again, same thing happened again. Even tried flashing the latest version of gapps, but nothing had any effect.
So now I'm thinking oh feck... I didn't make a backup of the Lollipop install as I thought the rollback would have just cured it, and she had already started messing about with it, making it look pretty and getting people to send her some of the important files she had.
So I thought balls, tough luck and you'll have to start again, your fault for never backing anything up. So I reflashed Lollipop, and for some reason it wouldn't boot. Would just hang at the Samsung logo, this was 4am, I was panicking as I'd effectively bricked her phone. So after lots of boot loops and countless flashes I was looking on ebay for a new phone for her, then suddenly it finally boots on one of the flashes.
Anyway after a lot of faffing about, flashing 4.4 which worked, so flashed 5.0 again, and luckily it booted, I don't know what happened, maybe I missed something as I was so tired, so I signed her into google and let all the apps download while I slept.
Now the question is, I seem to have found a site that explains how to extract individual files vaguely, I just need to get the smemos and whatsapp files and I'm not entirely sure where to look and extract these files. Also, will they corrupt if I try to install them on the 5.0 firmware?
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm really in the stinky brown stuff.
Morning bump if anyone can shed some light on this :crying:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Have you tried using this tool?
[Tool] Cwm nandbackup file Extractor ( .img/ .tar files )
It should extract exactly what you need. If you're only reinstalling those specific apps with their data you should have no issues, just don't restore any system data, that's what caused your problems after restoring the KitKat backup on top of the Lollipop ROM.
No response in two days, thread closed, thanks.
