It seems i have lost root... kinda..
in adb or even terminal on phone, i have root..
but any app that needs root, will not work..
it seems that its not even requesting root access,,
i have updated superuser apk, rerooted, still nothing.
i am using nfx_stock .7,
this is new, the apps and all have worked fine last few months, any ideas?
I would suggest you reflash nfx.
Make surebto nand backup first.

Hello,
I'm a new poster here, but a long time lurker... Anyway I'm having a problem.
I just rooted and flashed the Heinz57 rom, got everything set up the way I want it. I booted into recovery to do a back up and it says "Error while backing up Boot Image." Yes, I've disabled lagfix. USCC Mesmerize, btw.
What is this error and how do I fix it?
CwM 3.x, fyi.
Thank you for any help!
Do you have lagfix enabled? If so, try disabling it in CWM, reboot, and try backing up.
Ha! Just edited the OP!
I have it disabled everytime I try to back it up. No luck.
But have you disabled it and rebooted your phone to actually let it convert the file system back?
I disable, reboot, let it do its thing and when it's done, go back into recovery. Try to backup, it gives me the error.

Just making sure. Have you tried using CWM 2.5?
No. But wouldn't I need to flash a whole new rom to use it?

No you don't...I just tried making a nand this morning and am having this same issue, had to odin 2.5 recovery to make a nand. I tried to odin cwm3 thinking it was the .zip, reflashed the rom, kernel and other recoveries, nothing worked just the same error in the op..im trying all the recommended fixes I can find..
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
never mind my last post, I reflashed the OTB 1.3 TW kernel and everything is back to normal with that recovery...making a cwm3 nand now.
So it's a problem with Heinz? Or am I reading that wrong?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I wanna say its something with the recovery and whatever kernel you've got going, specifically. Wish I knew more.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
So I can odin flash 2.5 without losing my rom and settings? I didn't know that... lol
Why r y'all disabling lagfix? Ive not been disabling and my backups r restoring just fine. I vaguely remember that disabling was recommended at some point but thought it was on cwm2.5 so when we got 3.0 I tried not disabling and been good so far on every Rom I've flashed.

If you leave it enabled and end up with a bad Rom flash that forces you to have to use Odin you can end up with a lot of issues.
So... I left my phone off for 3-4 days, and when i turned it on, all my installed apps are gone. And the market force closes and the search function in the market doesnt work. And cwm recovery is gone too.
I dont have a computer right now, so anyone know how i can install cwm on the phone? any help would be appreciated.

Download this and flash it with Odin.

You might need to re-convert to ext4 afterward.
EDIT
It goes on the CSC section by the way.
Can't Odin without a PC.lol

I should've read the whole post. It appears that he's on gingerbread though, so the modified recovery file won't work. He'll have to wait till he gets on a pc. :/
What FBi said. Ughhh if only the cwm didnt get erased. Do you know the cause of this problem or is it just random...?
P.S. Currently running stock KF2 deodex. Rooted. :/. Ahaha. I was on kh2 but somehow it went back to kf2..
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
Only way it could've gone back to KF2 would be that you flashed it. The thing is that a lot of people reported having more trouble with the earlier GB builds, I'd stick with anything past KG6, so KG6, KH1 OR KH2 for now since that'll get rid of a lot of your problems.
If you do wanna stick with KF2, you'll have to flash the CSC file from KC1 through Odin, then do a factory reset. That should fix the disappearing apps problem. (Raver figured that one out).
u can factory reset from the phone if you can get into blue recovery also do factory reset and wipe cache then do it again from in the phone itself...
that should fix it..
@fbi. The thing is. I was running kh2 then after the 3days, it suddenly changed back to kf2?. idontevenknowhow. I did not flash anything or even touch my phone at all during the 3 days... And i cant get in blue recovery. Even with quickboot. . gotta wait till i can get to a pc.

Guys I was thinkin of flashin that and staying in kf2... BUT I decided that I dont really like it. Moved on to kh1 audiophile. Thanks for the help.
P.s neone know how I can fix the force close when I go to manage apps ->all

I recieved the OTA update for the G2x to the latest v21y firmware and Gingerbread 2.3.4 OS. Everything seems to have gone fine, except that now in Google Play apps it gives me the following error when trying to install or update *any* app:
'Error downloading "xxx". There is insufficient space on the device.'
Of course, I have an additional 8 GB micro SD card that is almost totally empty, and the internal phone storage has 3.2 GB available. The phone memory lists 0.94 GB available as well.
I followed the usual advice of clear data / clear cache for both Google Play and Download Manager. I unmounted/mounted both phone and SD cards. I turned off the phone, pulled the battery for a bit, took out the external SD card, put the battery back in, and booted back up. I rebooted a bunch of times. I put the external SD card back in. I cleared off extra crud from phone storage via a file manager, and I cleared caches on all installed apps.
This has never happened before, and directly after the update it has happened 100% of the time I have tried.
Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else who got the update? (I'm completely on stock, btw, still not out of warranty.)

Isn't that it? Is there something more that constitutes clearing market cache/data?

Does that require rooting? I haven't installed CWM yet, as I was holding off on all the experimentation until my year was up.
If there's no other usual thing to try, if T-mo doesn't come back with a reasonable response I suppose that's the next step.

No it requires Nvflashing cwm. But that will ruin your "warranty" on a end of life phone

You can factory reset without root. That's what T-Mobile will tell you to do anyways. I've went through six g2x in the past two weeks...that's their answer to everything lol

I'm aware of that, just saying that's an option.

I root everything I get on day one. Nothing stock and limiting my user options appeals to me. You can always revert to stock or if you hard brick no one could tell anyways.

So a factory reset fixed it. I didn't have to wipe the phone and external SD, and so I'm just reinstalling apps and setting up a few of them. This was a good time for some spring cleaning anyway, I suppose.
It was probably some stupid permissions thing, but without root I can't even fix that.

What is this update supposed to accomplish anyway? I'm rooted and trying ROMS pretty much every week (since no ICS rom works for me as a daily driver). Should I / can I do the update to 21y?
V21y 2.3.4 Rooted Touch Key lights
so everything else works fine when it comes to rooted app root request, but for some reason when a touch key light app request permisson it can do the job of adjusting the touchkey brightness, however the screen becomes very unresponsive, to the point where you cant slide left and right... I have run out of ideas as to why this is? has anyone else experienced this? I like to be able to turn that brightness down
Hello all, I'm a newbie here. I have just updated to ICS yesterday and decided to root it today. The root process completed successfully without much drama, but I've noticed after the root, my phone is freezing up A LOT. ICS was silky smooth running Nova launcher before i rooted it, so the root must be the cause of the problem. Each time it freezes up, I must fully reboot the phone to have it working again. But since I don't see anyone else experiencing trouble, I assume it's some of the apps that are acting up instead of the actual root?
I never rooted 2.3.6, so I'm completely new to this rooting thing. If this is a common occurrence right after root and will get better over time, pls let me know so I can feel better lol. If not, how can i find out where the problem lies?
Doesn't sounds like root to me. do you have CWM? If not, flash it and then boot into recovery and clear your cache

Are you rooted with superuser or supersu? I am rooted with supersu without issue
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda app-developers app
i followed this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
so i assume superuser? and i guess i have CWM
i think the problem is going away now...although i lost about 10% of battery...
hope this battery loss is part of the freezing and not part of rooting consequences..
Did you happen to restore any apps or anything after root? If not try a factory reset through cwm. Make sure you backup whats on your phone first

You both probably just need to manually set your APNs. It's different for every carrier so you'll need to Google your carriers APNs.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
Aah, thanks for the hint! You were exactly right.
Luckily my ROM on system 1 works fine so I booted into it, backed up Phone/Messaging...(SMS/MMS/APN) with Titanium Backup, then restored it in my 4.4 ROM. Working like a champ now.
