try this
MAKE BACKUP IN NVFLASHED CWM BOOT UP FIRST!
heres how i solved this problem on 5 g2x phones.
for my account there are 2 copies on phone usually. one you wont see in app drawer. its version 1.0 and it is used so tmobile can remote access your device to troubleshoot. its supposed to be a brand new thing they are trying out (the was told to me by tmobile pda tech support). you will see it in titanium backup next to the other one (my first g2x had both installed, the others had the only version 1.0 installed and not 5.** with it). you may not have 5.** depending.
wifi calling seems to be very intergrated into the phone and it will run even if frozen. though it may not activate, just run in the background. with the new titanium backup 3.8.* you can backup system .apks and not just data. i backed up my account, then froze, uninstalled it (or both depending on if you have both), the after i restarted titanium backup and froze wificalling. then backed it up. after i uninstalled it (THIS WILL CAUSE IT TO FORCE CLOSE/CRASH PHONE). i was able to barely press power off option after holding power button down and tapping quickly/timed between force close windows (LOL). but you may just have to pull the battery.
after reboot, no more wificalling or my account. plus they are backed up with .apks and data as system files in titanium backup if you want to reinstall
reinstalling wificalling also caused same force close problem i think? just reboot after. also i rebooted into CWM after making sure everything booted and worked right and then i went to advanced and fixed permissions.
ive done this on 5 tmobile g2x phones and it worked every time
I haven't flashed cwm yet because there isn't a stable rom, plus I'm still a newbie and want to be sure I know what I'm doing before flashing.
I do have two myaccount's also (both frozen)...
As soon as I flash cwm I'll try that out...thanks bud!

Ok so I have a HTC G2 (Desire/Vision). I decided that i finally wanted to root it and go all out. So I did the permaroot and installed the newest version of Clockworkmod no problem. I then flashed the CM 7.03 rom. Booted up, everything looked good. I then flashed the newest version of gApps. It asked me to sign in and everything was fine. The final step I took was flashing the G2-Fast kernel (1.9ghz OC). So when i boot up my phone, google attempts to back up all my apps via the market. There was around 100 apps downloading. So I left it there over night. This morning i check it, the last 10 apps or so were unsuccessful. I kept trying to reinstall apps but nothing. I also tried new or different apps but all come up as "Download Unsuccessful". Since then I've tried just about everything to fix it. clearing cache/data, reflashing, superwipe, sobe's method, signing into to GTalk, toggling 2G. I figured I try a new rom. So far I've flashed meXdroidMod and MIUI, but same result. Everything is fine but market doesn't want to work. I'm contemplating reloading my old ROM that i backed up once i get home. Anyone have any ideas? I pray to the gods of XDA.
I don't have much experience with your particular phone buy there has been a small epidemic of your issue on droid x running Gingerbread. It appears to be a disconnection of the google account with the market. It always appears to happen after a data wipe and need to reinstall apps. Sometimes you can still push apps from the Internet market to the phone, sometimes not. In a few cases it resolves by unmounting the sd card and downloading. Once download works then ok to remount. Besides those lucky few, everyone else has to wait it out. Even sbf does not fix it.
FORTUNATELY every case I know of resolved itself spontaneously in about 24hrs give or take. I found at least one case via google on a Thunderbolt so I know it can happen to other phones. Also if you have more than one android device on the same account all of them are affected. Good Luck
It has happened twice to me. Because of this I now keep copies of my most important apps on my sd card.

Before posting this thread, I followed all of the suggested threads on the same topic. Keep coming back to the same thing.
How can I get back to default....(with root) like it was right out of the box. In short...if I sold this device, I can I be sure all my data is gone gone gone?
If I wipe wipe wipe and wipe. Then factory reset....certain settings are ALWAYS available....my wallpaper and my WiFi settings. No matter what, they always come back. That leads me to wonder if anything else is stored....
How can I be sure...?
Are you running a different Tom then stock? If so, wipe everything and then reload the stock Tom. Then use one click to unroot.

nope...not the answer. I've done that. My wallpaper and wifi, are immediately restored. Oh, and my bookmarks too. They are stored somewhere.
I've unmounted the phone memory and formated it. I've formated my SD card. I've loaded other ROMs to include the Nandroid backup that Gunman loaded. But, immediately upon logging in...My wallpaper is restored, move to Wifi and touch wifi, it detects and load my password protected settings, and my bookmarks are all there.
Somewhere these things are stored....Not being familiar with Android...I have no clue...
After you wipe your data and restart your phone, it shows the little green android, the one you have to press to setup your phone, right? After you press that android, during the initial setup are you entering your Google account info (username and password)? Android backs up certain info/settings, including wifi passwords, if you don't de-select that option and when you sign in to your Google account during that initial setup it will restore it automatically.
If that's the case just skip the initial setup and don't enter your account info and it shouldnt restore that info automatically.
I think some of that info is stored in your Google account. Dont log in with the initial setup, you'll see nothing is restored.

And that's what I thought. So I tried that 'other' phone, the one from HTC. No sim, force me to wifi on login. So I get to setup..the little green Andy Rubin dude, get the prompt for wifi, it forces me to select which AP, which is new. But, when I select the AP, it populates with my data and password. So I erased any thing I could erase, did factory reset to include erase storage, and repeated. Same thing happened. This should eliminate it being in the Google account because I've not entered that yet.
I've done this with both the g2x and the grass is greener phone. One is rooted, one is not. I was thinking something may be stored in recovery...I could buy that. Restoring to stock should fix that. But using the 'this is greatest' phone, it has a stock recovery.
Being a noob to the inner workings of android, and having believed the story about fake flash, I wanted to ask you guys. The only other explanation is, the 60's have caught up with me

Its all backed up on Google's servers. So during initial setup if you sign in with your Google username and password it restores the settings from their servers. Just skip the part of the setup where it asks you to sign in to a Google account.
How does it get my wifi settings, if I have to log to wifi, before Google.
I understand the login stuff, that's clear. But something is being retained, somewhere else too. Don't ya think that's scary?
I'm going to factory reset this device. Going to wipe phone memory, then boot to recovery, wipe all again, then install fauxs rom. I will skip the Google login. I will turn on wifi. If it logs.in from saved data, that means its on the device.

Its not scary. Its restoring settings you opted to have Google backup to their servers.
If I'm not mistaken during initial setup, the first piece of information you are asked to input is your Google account info. Once you enter that it restores your wifi settings, among other things. If you're connected to a mobile network (3G/4G/edge) it downloads it over that and then connects to your wifi network.

true...all that I understand. but...what if you skip teh login ?? Thats what I was getting at.
So, I took all of your information, and tried. Then, to be sure, I did it again. I was up until 2am, checking this out. What I learned was.....I have n o idea what I was thinking. I obviously mixed a few different steps from different activities. Some of the steps I mention above are not part of factory reset, but rather part rom flash...some arre parts of restore.
In conclusion,,, it wasn't android, but flaash backs from the 60's.

Lol ... So does that mean you figured out what was going on?

Yes it does. Its really rude of Google to make things so convenient. They should at the very least made it a little harder here. Imagine....logging in and getting all your saved settings, apps, etc, BY DEVICE. What were they thinking .....
Hi guys, i was playing a game called F18 Carrier Landing, when my phone froze. I long held the power button so that it could reboot. After it rebooted, i unlocked it, and it gave me the interface as if i freshly flashed a new rom or i did a factory reset (the interface asking about google and setting up accounts). So, i completed that and once my home screen popped up, i faced a few force closes, from titanium backup, my anti-virus software Avast, and various other applications. I was very freaked out at this point. I remember reading something about fixing permissions if i faced constant force closes, so i rebooted to recovery and fixed permissions. Booted up fine, still missing data, but no force closes. But my google maps does not seem to work, i open it and it opens to the orange-ish checkerboard backing, but then force closes. I'm not exactly sure what to do at this point. Can anyone advise me on what to do or if this ever happened to them? For reference, i'm still on Froyo (don't ask why) 2.2.1, ROM's Audiophile Redux by Raver. If you require additional info to help me find a solution, i will gladly comply. Thanks!
EDIT1: I uninstalled my Maps with Titanium and restored a really old version from September of last year, and it seems to be working. Or atleast it opens and loads.
EDIT2: It seems to only load apps stored on my internal/phone storage. As i checked Applications in settings, the SD tab was empty as if there are not apps from the SD card installed, what can i do about this?
This has happened to many of us on GB. Crazy it happened on Froyo. You are going to need to reinstall your missing apps. If it is similar to what happened to us your phone factory reset on it's own.
Alright thanks, when it happened i thought it was a pretty serious problem, but as i restore my apps from Titanium, i realize it's not that bad. Just glad to know i wasn't alone on this ordeal. I plan on hopping onto AOKP or maybe MIUI when my contract ends, this phone is just to valuable to me at the moment. They both seem so fast and amazing, plus AOKP has themes. K, so quick question, do you know the reason behind this, i mean, is my SD corrupted or something? I can still play the music and the videos from it on my phone, but i don't understand why it wouldn't read the apps on the SD.
None of us have nailed down the cause unfortunately.
Thanks anyways, up and running with most of my apps back. Gotta get around to flashing a new ROM someday. So many good one's coming out!

Hello all,
I've ran into a circle of issues. I'm rooted, have touch CWM (can't remember the exact version) and had SynergyROM installed. I downloaded PowerAMP. Some people may stop me there and tell me that's the problem. During the Aroma installation, I must have ticked the option that optimizes apps and causes a long first boot. After researching this issue, I have found is a bad thing to do. I don't know why I would have chosen that option but this is the end of the path that I've come to.
What happened was PowerAMP was stuck on installing. So I attempted to find it and cancel it or uninstall, but it was no where on my phone, not in the notification bar, and was stuck on installing in the market.
So, I go about my business on my phone and it suddenly shuts down. I start it up, and it boots normally until it gets to "Optimizing app 1 of 1". I let it sit for about 30 minutes before I pulled the battery. I performed a nandroid backup, rebooted, same issue. I researched the issue and found people reporting success after wiping the cache and dalvik cache, so i did so. Now it reported "Optimizing apps 1 of 250" and went fine until it got stuck at 250. I let it sit for an hour before I pulled the battery again. I wiped data/cache/dalvik and reflashed a clean SynergyROM, the phone was working perfect. Then attempted restoring the backup, but still got the same issue.
I found a new ROM like I had been planning on doing since my phone was wiped anyway, and download Nandroid Manager to extract the data from my apps as I had read in the past was possible. Upon exploring the backup, I noticed the month and date were correct, but the year was 1980. There is NO data, in the data/data area except com.android, com.samsung and com.verizon packages.
Am I missing something? Why is all the .apk information in the ext4.tar but NONE of my app data remains? Am I screwed? I had an older backup from January in which I found the same apps with older data and that restored fine. I have Expense Manager, for example, and I started using it in the last week of January. Once I setup my budget I backed up. Since then, I've entered in all of my income and expenses and was planning to backup before the PowerAMP issue. Everything was working smooth, no tweaks made to the ROM, no issues whatsoever until now. So I can only restore data from the old backup and not the latest one.
Thank you so much in advance.
P.S.: Extra question, but not nearly as important - I can't seem to find a consistent answer. When performing a nandroid recovery, from say, in this case SynergyROM, does it matter what ROM I've flashed? Doesn't the nandroid recovery basically wipe the slate clean and lay everything back out just like you would do when replacing carpet, or a bandaid? Just a curiosity.
EDIT: I just discovered Titanium PRO can extract. Bought it. Tried it. Expense Manager crashes. Now, unless Expense Manager is installed, it doesn't even show up in extraction.
I have another idea - is there a way to EDIT a nandroid backup? For instance, can I REMOVE PowerAMP from the nandroid backup and restore through CWM without having to go through all of this? If it was just one app I wouldn't care but..I have at least 15 different apps with a couple months worth of data :/ My fault for sure..but I still harbor faith in this community nonetheless.
SOLVED

EDIT 2: PROBLEM SOLVED! Woo hoo! For anyone with a similar issue, I suppose I was just too frustrated to realize all courses of action. So this is the sequence in which I got the data back:
1: Installed updated app straight from the market, made sure it was closed and not in memory
2: Opened Titanium PRO and selected the nandroid backup
3: Recovered DATA ONLY
4: Opened app
5: Danced.
Hopefully this helps anyone with this similar issue.
