[Q] MIUI FC issues on nexus s amoled - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a weird issue that may have occurred to others but could not find on the forum. I flashed the rom and English pack. Restored my apps through titanium. Everything runs smooth until I reboot and get bombarded with FC messages about something .media and something. .score. the phone becomes unusable and I am forces to reflash. Can someone help me out a bit?

Try running fix permissions, via rom manager or CW recovery.
I've been using miui for quite a while without any issues - did you wipe everything before installing the rom.

Yes I have tried fixing permission and wiped everything. I thought it might have something to do with titanium restoring something from 2.3.3?

I'm not sure about that one as I seldom use titanium. The only thing I can think of with titanium is did you restore system settings? You should only restore the apk&data (ie 'restore all apps with data')

Yup I deselected all the system restore files and only restored my apps and data...

AOKP 4.0.4 v1.2

I have one app that doesn't work and won't reinstall with this version. Anyone else having that problem?

Update: I restored my backup of v1.1. The same app I had problems with on v1.2 doesn't work anymore on 1.1. I tried fixing permissions. Not the greatest idea in the world. Boot loop after reboot. So I'm currently restoring again to 1.1. I'm not sure what to do now.

I got the Xoom back up and running. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but I get an error. It says Package file is invalid. Does anyone know hat that means and if there is something I can do fix it?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
I tried installing other apps, but they gave me that same error. I restored an earlier backup of v1.1 and everything seems to be working again.

Have you tried doing a full wipe? Also, are you trying to install these apps from "Google Play" (ugh. i hated typing that) or are you installing from internal/external media? I would try a full wipe, maybe not only from recovery, but also from fastboot. Fastboot wipes > CWM wipes (IMHO). Also, I would avoid doing TiBackup restores between largely variant versions of ROM's.

Titanium backup

Does anyone know if there is an ICS rom that I can use titanium backup, or am I the only one with that problem. It doesn't let me backup or restore?

It worked for me when I try them.

when you say it wont let you restore what happens when you try? I use titanium on ICS all the time, only thing you have to be careful of is restoring apps that aren't compatible with ICS. doing so usually results in a bootloop.
I think what regp was trying to say above me is don't backup and restore "system apps" only "user apps"
Also if it wont do anything for you make sure you have root access and try updating titanium backup.
If both those methods don't help go into settings>applications>manage applications "clear data" for titanium backup
Pin it to Win it.
what I'm saying is there are apps that are not compatible with android 4.0. if you restore any of those apps your phone will bootloop even if you restore without the data.
The apps I try to restore are as simple as dolphin browser or like kik. It will say restoring, but then after that it wont prompt me to install or anything it will just say done and then nothing. I wont have the app installed?

I had this problem before. Go into TB and go to preferences then scroll down until you get to app processing mode then try all of those options since I don't remember which option is right.
If I helped you, please donate if you can so I can continue helping you guys!

Had you done a complete wipe when installing the ROM? I had this same problem when on an earlier version of Synergy, I brought it to eschelon's attention and when I installed the next version he put out I had no problems. Now I don't know if it had to do with anything echelon changed(because he did say he was going to change something to do with Gmail) or if it was just because I wiped and re-installed the ROM.
If you use Titanium backup to restore it also, that may be the issue because I restored all system info and data up until I had that problem and then just haven't used it on the upgraged of the ROM.
I would suggest wiping everything and then just re-install the rom and any apps manually.
Had the same issue. Wipe data,cache and format system. Should be good to go.

Help!!

Help I think I forgot to backup SMS/call log before getting the new cyanogen 10 with titanium backup..is there anything I can do??
It was weird..I did the apps and data restore from titanium back up and lost all SMS and contacts..help!!

Shouldnt ur contacts be backed up with gmail?
Did u do a backup in cwm? If so just restore and back up sms then reflash cm10

As well as the phone button..both worked before I did titanium back restore..

You cannot restore system apps from touchwiz via titanium backup. TW and AOSP roms are very different. You can restore apps only and xml backups such as SMS and call log but you need to do those individually. Try reflashing CM10 after wiping the big Three (like you're flashing for the first time) and restore Apps only. Everything should work again. If you need to back up your call log and sms again restore your nandroid and backup before reflashing.
thank you! those work again. and somehow when i reflashed and rebooted the apps started downloading by itself all again from the play store..just one more question, if i update from 9/20 build of CM to 9/21 then would i have to back up again??

It's always a good idea to backup

Force Close Loop (Bricked?)

Hey Guys - I am out of ideas and think my run with the charge might be coming to an end.
My phone is running FP8 stock ROM, rooted, with some apps frozen using TiBu. I have not issues with this set up since the update was pushed. I used tweak for a year or so, then went back to stock for FP8.
A few days ago my phone started to act weird. Widgets were not updating, apps randomly force closing. It was annoying but still usable. I decided to do a factory reset and then everything hit the fan. When I boot up the phone every app on my phone force closes and it is not usable. The "Setup Wizard" also force closes so I can not even get past that.
I have tried flashing other ROMs including Eclipse, tweaked, EP4 with pit, etc.The flash is successful but the force closes persist. I have also tried wiping data through stock recovery and CWM, but I do not think it works. I still see force close errors when the phone boots of apps that should have been wiped (twitter,TiBu, etc.). Anything else I can try? Pretty desperate as it looks like this thing might be toast.
Cliffs
Phone acting weird, reset data multiple times and everything force closes. Phone is not usable at all.
Tried wiping data but does not seem to work, downloaded apps still force close
Flashed different ROMS (both stock w/ pit and custom)
Still force closing. Help?
If the force closes are persisting even though data is wiped, you may have something nasty sticking around through dirty flashes (assuming you're flashing over the old). Make sure you clear all caches and if that doesn't work, it's a shot in the dark but you may want to try formatting the system partition through CWM and then reinstalling FP8 or whatever custom ROM you want. Whatever you do have backups ready...

Thanks for the idea. I am pretty sure I have already tried this but through CWM I will clear cache, davlik cache, data, and format system then try a flash of stock with .pit
Like you said, it seems like whatever is causing this is still sticking around even after all this clearing/flashing. Is there any way to clear these things through adb? Or would getting a log be worth my time?
If all else fails try odin.

I have tried flashing ROMS (stock and custom) through ODIN and to no avail. I am able to flash but it still does not overwrite the corrupted data. I still get force close errors for downloaded apps that should have been erased/over written. Even formatted my SD card just to be sure and didn't help.
Seems like my only option may be to somehow find and delete the data through ADB. Clearing through CVM and stock recovery is not doing anything. Problem is I do not know where this old/bad data is!

Never heard of PST when you posted that. Good idea, but I just tried a few flashes and the effect was no different than ODIN/CWM
This problem keeps getting weirder. So sometimes I am able to get through into the phone (even though I get force close pop ups every 2 seconds). I was able to uninstall most of the apps causing the FCs (not all because some are the system apps).
However, everytime the phone reboots the apps come back! Where in the hell are they being cached/stored to just magically re-appear after data wipes/flashes/un-installs. Seems like I have all these corrupted apps that I can not get rid of. Through terminal emulator I cleared data, and davlik but didn't help.
Have you pulled your sd card and sim then checked if it would boot. Also wipe internal sd from stock recovery

Yea, eventually I can get it to boot but the phone is not usable with all the force closing. The option to clear internal SD only seems to be available for the older ROMS, but I flashed ED1 and cleared it. No luck.
Think I may just be out of ideas on this one...
Pray to jeebus, might be your last option

Have you gone into Settings, Accounts & Sync and turned everything off? If you are back to stock then this could be the cause of restore of the apps. You are using the full EP4 odin - rom, kernel and radios - correct?

Yep I have turned them off. My settings also get reset however when I clear data, reboot, re flash etc.
Good question about the full EP4 ODIN. I have been using the ones from imnuts website, and have also tried the CWM packages from kvswim's thread in the development section. Tried Eclipse Beta 2 & EP4,EE4,ED1, FP8 stock. I also tried the CM10 ROM just to see if the change to ext file system would do anything. Not sure if any of them are labled as having rom,kernal and radios, but I would imagine at least a few of them are.
No matter what I do, I get outsmarted and all my corruped apps, settings and force closes remain.
I think you can skip activation after flashing ep4 and still get the ota's to get to fp1, fp5 and finally fp8. once there try activation, etc. Keep it purely stock no root. still fc's? IMHO your phone storage is hosed.

To skip activation - on the setup screen click on the Emergency Dial button. Once at the dialer, dial:
*#TESTMODE (or *#83786633)
That will "enable the soft keys", making it so you can then hit home to get to the launcher without activating.

Pretty cool! Didn't know I could do that. However once getting past that just about every app continues to force close including tw launcher.
Being that old apps & settings will continue to be restored after doing everything possible to get rid of them it must be a hardware issue.
Oh well, I will keep the phone around for the hell of it but guess it's time I look into something new.
