Unable to return to stock - G Tablet General

Here is what I did:
1. I followed instructions here and installed TntLite 2.02. Market, Flash and everything worked fine.
2. This morning, one of the Apps, Omok Game, downloaded from Market had an update. It was force closed when I launched it after update. Then I got repeated message "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly."
3. I backed up partition 11 using nvflash and then did a full restore from nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip. The gTablet entered in APX mode directly when powered on, no viewsonic logo, just a black screen.
4. I did a full restore using nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip. I got viewsonic and gtablet screen back, and also stock Tnt. But I still got repeated message "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly."
5. Setting no longer worked. When I pressed More button on home screen, most Apps I installed from the Market are still there. Market itself is gone.
My question now is how to wipe user data when Setting not working?

I just checked configfile and there's no image for partition 12. Can I just do a --format_partition 12 to erase user data?

Clear data and clear cache usually leave things around for me. I had success when I added "format system" and had success with that.

Installed ClockworkMod and cleared data/cache. It's back to stock now.

Error Message

Every time I reboot my Gtablet I get the following error message (some times several times even though I tell it to force close):
Sorry!
The application Google Services Framework
(process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped
unexpectedly. Please try again,
<Force close>
I am running VEGAn 5.1 and have gotten this ever since I flashed it a few weeks ago. I don't think I received this error when I was running TnT Lite.
Anyone have any ideas?
Try clearing cache in clockwork recovery. If that doesn't work then clear data/cache. This second step will clear your apps so make a Titanium backup of your apps first.

Thanks Mr. Frog. I'll give that a shot. I guess if/when I do restore using TB I should "Restore missing apps with data"... I think have been using "Restore missing apps + all system data". Could that have caused the error?
Had similar problem. Used TB and restored data only to fix.

[Q] Help with rooted Evo 4g running MIUI

I keep getting a continuous error message saying "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" It keeps happening repeatedly without giving me a chance to type anything. Could there be something I did wrong? Please help
HI.

towards the bottom you'll find this:
FRESH install guide - coming from a different ROM? your current MIUI setup laggy and you want to start fresh? Follow these steps.
1. Boot into recovery
2. Flash this file:http://www.mediafire.com/?ikylelx99c49133 - this is Calkulin's format all. It will wipe everything for you including /system, which normal data wipes skip (they only wipe /data and /cache)
3. Flash latest build of MIUI in SAME RECOVERY SESSION - do not reboot after flashing the format_all.zip
4.Reboot
5. If using titanium backup to restore settings/apps, DO NOT restore system settings - only apps and app data.
Also, I use Mybackup-root as well as TitaniumBackup. Find them in the market, it helps save app-data and message data as well.

Some things I learned from personal experience

I received my G Tab yesterday and within 4-5 hours last night I had installed 4 different ROMs, installed multiple kernels, and tested a ton of apps on each. I even got in to a boot loop, couldn't get the standard market fix to work, when installing at one point it FCd and then said it couldn't install more, etc, but I worked them all out. A few things that I learned that may help people (All instructions are with TNT 4.4 but work with other ROMs in different directories)
Market fix:
The standard market fix that is floating around is not always sufficient. To be sure that it will work, you need Titanium Backup installed.
Steps
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market (I can't find anything I don't have)
----------------------------
For me, my boot loop came after installing 4 ROMS and on TNT 4.4 it crashed while using an app and went in to a loop. I had cleared everything in between all the installs but something must have been left over. I needed to repartition my sd card in CW. It worked great, but remember, select 2048, and for the second option select 0 or it won't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Also, remember to back up the titanium backup folder and anything else to your computer before doing this. It will wipe everything.
-----------------------------
The last issue was when I was installing a few apps the market FCd and then when I went back in it wouldn't let me install the apps that were going to install. I tried all the regular things like wiping data and cache but it didn't work. What worked was removing the corresponding asec files within the .android_secure folder at root.
-----------------------------
Almost every single app I have installed works great. The only major problem so far? The Grooveshark app. TinyShark works though.
I just got my Gtab too. I installed VEGAn and the kernel to go with it with the latest ClockWorkMod. When I installed Titanium I got an error saying 'ROM is not rooted' or something similar to this.

Android got cougth in boot loop

Good morrning everybody.
Yesterday I tried to flash the circle battery found in ROM Manager into my Android 2.2 system. Clockwork Recovery suggested to run a backup, which I naturally did, and then it started to flash the battery into the system.
Until that point it worked fine and never returned an error or something else, but after the first reboot, the battery was properly replaced but nearly every app installed in my android crashes (googlemail, sms, phone, launcher pro, and so on) and my phone went into a boot loop.
Trying to restore my system with the Clockwork recovery manager also didn't work as it should, so I had to perform a full factory reset. (By the way, I got the same boot loop after trying to deinstall crapware via titanium backup)
My phone is a o2 - branded HTC Desire with Froyo, HBOOT-093.0001 and was rooted by unrevoked (S-ON).
Does anyone have an idea about that problem and know a solution? thanks in advance ;-)
cheers
PS: please forgive my when i wrote nonsense, it's 6 o'clock in the morning
Okay, I played a little bit around with my mobile phone and i figured something.
I made it to activate the plane mode before my phone decided to reboot again, so I managed to break this loop.
Now "only" "RSS-Reader, MMS, NewsReader, the Google Mail App, the "Google-Services-Framework (Prozess com.google.process.gapps)" and the Sense-Launcher crashes (maybe because I've a Mail shortcut or something on the screens, I don't know it exactly (using LauncherPro+)
I also read that flashing could set the ringtones to NULL (for the guys who aren't that deep into informatics: NULL = nothing; but NULL is not the number "0" (null-pointer-exception). I took a look into my settings but there are definitively ring tones set but unfortunately I can't take a look into my GMail app due to these crashes.

Try using Advanced -> Fix Permissions in CWM. It is supposed to help with FCs

I had a similar issues on CM7 while the wrong gapps version was flashed :S
Hey guys, thanks for your reply.
@frosty_ice: from the CWM recovery menu (power + "vol-") I've only the options of
- reboot recovery
- wipe dalvik cache
- wipe battery stats
- report error
- key test
- restart adbd
- process dump
which are listed at "advanced"
When I select "fix permissions" in ROM Manager, it throws the error "Error while executing privileged commands" (translated from german, I don't know the original sentence)
I'm using ROM Manager v4.1.0.0
@metalron: I did not flashed any version of gapps, I only flashed the circle battery "SuperCircle Battery v.B" found at "Pinkolin - Pinky Desire". Does this automaticly flash other components into my system?

I think thats your issues, as far as I know you need gapps, that too the right version although most apps can be downloaded via market but then you need market and for some odd reason not flashing gapps or flashing the wrong one put me in a boot loop.. so im guessing its the same for you.

I have an LG Optimus V (Virgin Mobile) with 2.3.3 Gingerbread with aospcmod-ov-20110415-signed.zip running before becoming stuck in Android System Recovery. It happened when I tried updating the rom to aospcmod-ov-20110427. I had the proper gapps and follwed the flashing rom instructions from romrepo wiki. After that we lost clockworkmod recovery 3.0.0.6 . We then installed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.8 because it was the only one that would reinstall and it was recommended. Once it was installed no files from the sd card could be accessed so I removed clockworkmod recovery 3.0.2.8 . Once we removed cwm recovery 3.0.2.8 I was faced with the blue fastboot screen. To get out of the blue fastboot screen I had to use vm fastboot root. Once I did that I was able to go thru the full process of 1. Move all files you intend to flash to the root of your sd card (ex. aospCmod.zip, GAPPS.zip, kernel (optional)).
2. First you need to wipe/format your phone, in clockwork recovery: Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition. Under Partitions menu (or Mounts & Storage in 3.0.0.6) in recovery: Format boot, system, data, cache. Under advanced: wipe Dalvik Cache.
3. Flash in this order:
A. AospCmod
B. GAPPS
C. Kernel (optional).
4. Reboot System
5. NOTE: On Optimus V when first logging in, if you click "Sign In" it will ask you to slide of your keyboard. Just go back and press "Skip." You can sign into your Accounts later in settings.
All of the processed went thru successfully and went to reboot and it rebooted back to Android System Recovery. I have checked my steps and tried this process continually but it keeps looping me back to Android System Recovery instead of loading the Rom.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
P.S. You can email me at [email protected]

Android Optimizing Apps even after factory reset

Its been a while now, the issue probably triggered when I tried to set up multirom and install Marshmallow a few months back. I do not run multirom anymore, and even if I do a clean install (factory reset), when the phone first boots, it shows the "Android is starting" screen with "Optimizing x of 136" and takes a good 5 minutes. Why is this happening? After a factory reset I have no apps installed! I have deleted the multirom folder as well as the sdcard/Android/data folder, in case its picking up the app data in these folders to optimize. Is there something I'm missing?
Because when you flash a ROM or factory reset your device, Dalvik / ART cache gets wiped. While optimizing apps it gets created again...
I think goldengargoyle is baffled why there are 136 apps for optimization, when he erased all his data, including apps. This actually annoys me also, should't there be only a few(10-30) default apps to optimize?
goldengargoyle did you figure it out? I did the same now and i was not expecting to have 140+ apps optimizing ...

To truly ensure the issue is fixed, back up what you need from the phone and fastboot flash a stock rom (preferably one of the last builds), let it boot then, go though the set up as you typically would, transfer the rom and other things you would like to flash to the phone, fastboot flash TWRP and finally, flash whatever you transferred.
