My Android G1 was rooted, but it bricked. For some reason none of my backups worked. Thinking that there was a problem with the SD card I reset the phone to factory, reformatted and repartitioned the SD card, and started over. It looked OK, but it turns out that the Android Market is missing.
All of the purchased programs are lost. It also seems that you can't install most programs without Market being installed. When I tracked down and tried to install vending.apk it tells me that it can not be installed on my phone. After some research it seems that you also need gtalkservice.apk, but when I try to download that I get the same error.
I do have a copy of the original working SD card on my computer, but I can't figure out what to move over to recover Market.
I can't imagine why Google would want to make it difficult to restore Market to the phone. The phone isn't very useful without it. Please, if anybody can HELP it would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried flashing a stock ROM? I don't think restoring factory settings is going to bring back any system files you have deleted, unless there's an image somewhere on the filesystem.
its sluggish naa...
I've searched high and low and couldn't find an answer to help.
I rooted my Captivate successfully... installed Titanium Backup and ran a backup... removed the stock apps. Now I need to return my phone and I can't get the apps to reinstall. It's like Titanium Backup permanently deleted them instead of renaming or moving them.
So... is there anywhere to download the .apks for the stock apps?
Look for a folder named TitaniumBackup on the internal or external SD card (if you had one). That's where your backups are stored. If it was on the external card and you removed it, TIBU won't be able to find it. If you deleted it, your SOL.
You can flash stock with odin
Yay, thanks mcord! Odin did the trick!
I'm on an OG Droid and am currently using CM7 RC4. I'm very happy with this rom, but I have been having issue after issue, no matter what rom I'm using.
I'd like to start fresh, clear my SD card, clear all app data, etc. and then reinstall my apps manually. I'm hoping that this will remove the possibility of something being corrupted or lingering on the card and affecting the current rom. So, I'm looking for suggestions on the best way to do this.
Also, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if they have been stable running GB on a Droid with CM7? I'm running LauncherPro, Lookout, Tasker and AlarmDroid, and they all seem to be fighting for memory and not able to work properly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
So far, I have:
Made Titanium backups
Made rom backups
Made a copy of my SD card
Erased SD card using the option under Settings...Storage
Copied the CM rom back to the SD card
Copied the clockworkmod directory back to the SD card
Also, I have a bunch of apps installed, and don't want them all reinstalled after I flash. Do I need to manually uninstall all of the apps I don't want upon boot, or is there an easier way to keep them from syncing?
I'm getting ready to flash the rom. I know I need to wipe data and wipe cache. What else?
Did OTA update to ICS on stock B90, then rooted with vipermod. Root is confirmed. Now I'm looking to backup installed apps and user data using the Asus App Backup app. Everything sets up fine, password entered. 21 apps + data selected, file named, etc. Get message that it will take about 10 minutes to complete. Pathnames are correct, folders are present, permissions seem ok. Runs for about 10 seconds, comes back with " 0 Successful " and 21 failed. Red x's by all selected apps. Any ideas?
Ultimate goal is to backup apps and data, then do a factory reset to clear cache and data from HC, maybe even do a stock recovery to ICS then set everything back up. Trying to see if this will clear up any of the annoyances that came with ICS update.

Yeaah.....
Well I don't really have a solution but i'm certainly experiencing the same trouble u have I Did OTA update to ICS on stock, then rooted with vipermod number 1 option on the vipermod. Root is confirmed. Im trying to restore a previous backup I did and no luck error message is "Failed to restore.please try again"
I just ran a backup of 10 apps to test it on Revolver 4.0.0 Beta 1.31 ICS. Worked perfectly for me.
You can try going to Settings - Apps - App Backup - Force Close then Clear Data
Then try running the backup again.
Just for reference it's worked great for me twice on rooted ICS (stock) from rooted HC (stock). Good luck.
Where are you storing the backup, internal SD or external (microSD)? Encountered this one before until I found out that there wasn't enough space in the microSD. Suggest try to back up first on the internal SD and copy it later when it's successful. On ICS, I had done two backup and restore and all went well.

Backup path is set to internal, with a copy going to external microSD. MicroSD is 32GB and hardly anything on it, so room shouldn't be a problem. Might try without creating a copy file, and sending it over manually.
Tried that and failed again. So it would seem that it just doesn't like writing the apps and data. When I look in the Asus/App_Backup directory, it creates folders for all the apps, but then doesn't write anything to the folders. Interesting.

Are you trying to write data from a honeycomb backup onto ics? That's not going to work and even if it did would hose your ics.......

No....trying to create backup of apps after ICS update so I can do factory reset. I actually went ahead and did the factory reset last night, and got everything back from Amazon and Google markets, not too painful, but still would like to know what's up with the backup utility.

How? Do you mean that you fixed it BY flashing Revolver 4, or that you fixed it first, then flashed, then restored?
I'm on a B90, so not really looking for flashing ROMS right now, as nvflash doesn't work.

Asus backup
i used asus app backup today before i went back to stock ics to receive 4/24 ota since voodoo root keeper didnt work .now i have a stock tablet and tried to restore data from sd, microsd and it said unable to open file. any help?? or where could i copy and paste the backup to?? also used ultimate backup pro and it wont restore anything because it says not rooted.dont want to root just yet. but if i have to does anyone have the way to root the new stock rom?
Thanks
I have he same on Transformer TF300
I do new backup, and then restore -only error "Unable to open backup file"
The same with all old backups
EDIT: I updated TWRP, wiped everything (including data/media) and restored a backup. I was able to get a successful backup. However, apps still crashing randomly. Does anyone know how to check for memory errors and repartition to use only good space?
Original Q:
I have installed Markox89 Dhollmann (sp?) ROM clean and bare (only Google play) and it's crashing. I am now also unable to do a nandroid backup in TWRP. I'm thinking I might have corrupted hardware. Does anyone know how to check/diagnose issues like this? It's not just my external SD card. I can't backup to internal SD card either.
I think I have a 2 year warranty that's almost expired (a quick point to instructions for returning to stock for return would be welcome).
