[Q] Hard Reset Issue - Question - Captivate General

I'm running Cog2.3b6. When I do a hard reset, my phone starts, I see the Cog logo/screen and then pretty much all hell breaks loose. I get FC stop error after FC error. Mainly in RomManager, TiBackup, LauncherPro.
The only way I can recover from this is to uninstall RomManager, reinstall RomManager and re-flash the Cog Rom and then restore from TI Backup my apps.
Can someone explain what is happening?
Also I notice when I Hardreset I see the Samsung Menu not the clockwork screen.
Is there a way to always get to the Clockwork screen?
I'm just a noob trying to understand why..
Any guidance is appreciated.

Are you restoring system data with titanium backup?
Also if you keep the update.zip on the sd card select reinstall packages in the 2e recovery menu. It should do something and bring you back to the same menu and select reinstall packages again you should be in CWM recovery.

I only do apps and data restore.
The update.zip is on my internal sd card.
Is that where i should keep it?

Can't download apps from market

I just updated to JH7 using samsung kies and now I can't download any apps from the market. The phone is completely stock since I used Odin to flash it before the JH7 update. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Had that problem before the update... Unmounted the internal SD Card, then formatted it.. wipe my music, but I was able to reload it... That fixed the whole thing... You might also try going into recovery mode and clearing the cache....
Did you use titanium backup?
I used titanium backup a while back before the Odin master clear and flash to stock stock firmware.
Just removed my sd card and downloads work again. I guess the titanium backups that I had on the sd card is causing the problem.
It seems to stop working again after I downloaded quick settings. Can't download even after reformating the sd card and taking it out. Also I can't get the e-mail app to work. It shows "checking incoming server settings" then shows the message "unable to open connection to server. Tried it with wifi and 3g.
I think this has been answered several times over the last few days. Basics are to not let ti restore anything system related, only your apps and data.
That fixes the market problem, no idea on the email but id start with that.

I didn't use titanium backup to restore anything. Just used it to uninstall the bloatware before I flashed it back to stock with Odin. So how do I fix it?

cant nandroid backup... any reason why?

I get to the part where it would restore the .android_secure part and it gives me this error this is with 3.0.2.4 and I can properly wipe and such...
"error while making a yaffs2 image of /sdcard/.android_secure"
and this prevents it from making a md5 sum so I basically hve no backups at all, is anyone else having issues with this? I'm going to try and toubleshoot back to 3.0.2.2 and see if i can get that to back up but if anyone can help it would be appreciated
I can make nandroid backups no problem. Do you use Clockwork recovery?

uh... your intelligence exceeds you
as for OP, I would try, if you haven't, in rom manager, hitting menu, delete cache, then menu again, settings, delete recovery, then reflash 2.4 and see if you can backup then.

I have uninstalled 2.4 installed 2.2... same thing.. all while delete recovery every flash... still nothing... not being able to nandroid means having to start from scratch if I get a loop... I dont know when this started to happen but my past weeks nandorids are all screwed up... and I deleted the 1 nandroid I had that worked cause I thought the newer one was good
ok to anyone having this issue it seems to be a problem with my sd card... I plugged my sd card into my computer via a card reader and the "there may be errors on this storage device" came up... I did a nandroid with my 2g sd card just fine so it not an error with CWM atleast...
scanning for errors on my computer brought up a bunch of errors within .android_secure and corrected them and now I can backup... it said the errors are from removing the sdcard while its being written... how can we do that when its under the battery? and I only did a battery pull when I got a ten minute hang on bamf 1.2...
hope this will help someone if they get the same error
Thanks for posting this! This helped, thank you!

[Q] After putting Infused on, Android store won't open

I just rooted my phone and then installed Infused. I then did a batch restore using titanium backup for all apps and data. Now my whole phone seems buggy and the Android store will not open. I have to keep force closing it.
Does anyone else have these issues?
EDIT: Just noticed that it did not restore half of what it said it did and now the titanium backup program itself is missing. I feel like i'm going to have to reflash all over again and just lose all my stuff.
I got the android store working but my previous problem returned of insufficient space message on my phone when I am trying to download from the android store. I have 1.17gb free on phone, 13gb free on internal sd and 30gb free on external... Does anyone know why the space message?
Do a fresh reflash and do not install from titanium, install fresh from market then do a fresh backup with titanium
infuse 4g "a lot a screen real estate"
I think I'll have to try that and deal with having to replace everything.hopefully that works. I'm brand new to android and have had an iphone since they first came out so this is completely different but much better.

Next time you do a batch restore after installing/flashing a new rom be sure after you open titainium backup that you do not select "Restore missing apps + system data" but instead select "restore all apps with data" . Just be sure that you do not restore system data.
Also after you do a restore, reboot the phone into recovery mode and wipe the dalvik cache and the regular cache then select "reboot now" from the recovery menu.. After the phone restarts let it sit for 5-6 minutes after that I am certain you will have either no problems or a lot less problems..
If only a few apps are giving problems, just uninstall those apps and re install them, then restart the phone.
Hope this helps,
Have a great day.
Thanks for the posts...I am going to attempt to reflash with the rom again and then do just the restore all apps with data.
EDIT: reflashing now...fingers crossed!
Everything seemed to go well..now i'm back to getting the "Error downloading. There is insufficient space on the device" when in the android market. I have plenty of space on my phone and SD card.

[Q] Titanium Backup

Hi guys, quick question
I have backed my phone up with titanium Backup, if I was to lose all my data how would I be able to re apply it? Would I just log in to titanium with my user name and upload everything??
I have looked at forums for the answer but have had no luck,
Thanks
Titanuim backup is an app. If you make a backup through this app it will back everything up into a folder on the SD card.
When you perform a factory reset it will wipe everything except whatever is on the sd card.
So after the wipe, install titanium from the market, and restore all the apps.
if your going to format the sd card, copy over the titanuim backup folder onto your pc or upload to dropbox or similar. Format the sd card, copy the folder back over and restore.
easy peasy

Thanks for the reply.
With out sounding to thick what I would do..
I dont have an sd card in my phone, so if I lost everything then how would I be able to get my details back on my phone?
Can I not just copy everything and put in in a folder on my computer, if then I lost all data I could then transfer it back to my phone from my computer
I did a superboot yesterday ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577831 ) and when reading other topics about rooting they always tell you to back everything up...
Whats my best option?
Cheers
sorry im confused ? Are you using the One S now ?? or are you trying to back up files from an older phone to restore onto the One S ??
it doesnt matter if you dont have external sd (One S doesnt anyway) it will be backed up to the internal SD.
All you have to do is plug in USB and tranfer from old phone > PC > New phone

It is best to do a nandroidbackup. You can make a nandroidbackup in the recovery menu. When you have made this backup, you have copied everything on the phone as it was when you started the first time. To make a nandroidbackup you must have CWM (clockworkmod).

Using HTC One S now..

To back up full rom..like everything,as the post says above you would boot into recovery and back it up that way at the moment due to not having official clockworkmod..dont know if it is yet,but you can do that way.itll save everything just as you left it.
titanium back up will save apps and there data..
and can save the way you have saved your settings etc.
itll save your profile without needing to login.then click on options..then batch if its apps.or if its system data and apps choose that option.
beware though if you got 100 apps youll be there for a good ten minutes reinstalling lol.
(note--asop isnt around yet fully but dont restore system data from sense roms to asop and vice versa itll just mess your system up)
your external storage( will never be touched with relation to flashing roms etc.the only way it can happen is if your a complete numpty and select that option yourself.
best way to be honest is just play around with titanium youll get the hang of it

Thanks for the reply, when I go in to recovery it just starts the phone back up, what am I doing wrong, is there any chance you can give me the basic idiots guide on how to do this, dont want to lose all my stuff, if anything was to happen then I will be goosed..
when you go into CWM recovery and select backup, It just starts without confirmation.
It will save under a folder named 'clockwork' on your sd card, Inside that will be your nandroid backup, It consists of all apps, data, system, everything except firmware and radio. (which doesnt matter as you havent changed it)
if you every run into a problem that cannot be fixed, restoring the nandroid will put your phone back to the state it was in when you made it..
Titanium on the other hand, this backs up all apps and app data (game saves, login info ect) you mainly use this when changing ROM or doing a wipe. so that you dont have to install them all 1 by 1..
Only restore a nandroid when you run in to serious errors. NOT everytime you wipe / change ROM
Do you actually get into recovery?

Thanks for your patience, when I go in to Rom Manager I click on backup current rom, it tells me the date and time, I then click ok, the phone then restarts, when I look in manage and restore backups it's just blank??? I am using Rom Manager v5.0.0.6, is it better using a premium Rom Manager as I also have rom toolbox, when I click backup on this one it says that I must upgrade to be able to do this..

No mate far as im aware rom manager isnt supporting the s yet,the cwm had issues,youll need to switch off and boot into bootloader then choose recovery from there then into cwm then back it up.
switch off,hold volume then power till bootloader rocks up..choose recovery then your in clockworkmod then back up
+1 to that !! also, if you have root (i assume you do with having TiBackup) you can use quickboot - available on market for free, it will allow you to boot into bootloader, recovery, without having to do the button combo

No, just turned the phone off, turned back on with vol down, scroll down to recovery then pressed the power button and the phone just turns on,

Have installed quickboot, when I click on bootloader it takes me to the screen, I then click recovery and.....the phone just starts, I tried the other way in quickboot..pressed the recovery button and .......the phone just starts..arrhhh
did you flash the custom recovery ?
Sounds to me that your install of cwm went wrong? Although how are you rooted if it did...strange daft question inbound...you followed all the steps?

Viper rom app problem

Today I tried to install viper rom. before I did that, I made a backup of my current axiom s rom using twrp. I also used titanium backup to move apps to sd card beforehand cuz I didn't want to reinstall everything. When installing viper I chose the full wipe option. When I rebooted I noticed that phone was stuck on an endless black screen, so I restored with my last backup. problem is now even with the backup I don't have any apps in my app drawer except stock rom apps! I installed a file explorer and noticed app data still present. my question is is there any way to restore these apps?
app icons are still on my home screen launcher bt when I press them they say "application not installed". When I try to reinstall using an apk, it asks me if I want to overwrite. This means the app is definitely still on my phone, just not accessible. Please help!

Have you already tryed to reinstall an app?
Can you find the apps in settings-apps?
And if you can find the apps in settings, try to delete data and cache of the apps.
And have you tryed to wipe cache in recovery?
