App sync after root and wipe - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just unlocked, rooted, and installed Tiamat on my friends Xoom but after signing into his Google account, none of his apps are repopulating. Any ideas on why this happened or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

If you wipe user data/factory reset inside CWM you won't be able to install apps to the data partition. There is a bug, the partitions on the xoom are different then other devices.

Interesting, I just did the same exact steps on my Xoom last week and all of my apps repopulated just fine.

[Q] Solved - Help: all downloads are unsuccessful

Help...no matter which rom i try i cant get any downloads to work...sorry, let me clarify...my market downloads work fine but any downloads form the web fail.
Any thoughts on what to change to fix this? it wasnt always this way...i dont know whats changed that crosses roms.
Solved:
It appears two be a two part issue, some of it is the Download Manager and at least part of the issue was with the Calibre App i was trying to DL from. Specifically, I was accessing the Calibre net share component. When a password is set on the share the gtab download manager is unable to correctly request downloads. I removed the uid/pwd and downloads work again. With the uid/pwd in place logs show an http 401 error.
Now to determine why...
In recovery are you wiping everything? Cause that was my issue at first and I was crossing roms lol

When you say you wiped cache and stuff, did you wipe user data as well? If so, then that would explain why Titanium can't see your previous backup (It stores it in internal storage by default).
If that is the case, and you have wiped the data partition, your best bet would be to start over and reload your ROM from scratch.

As long as Darkeyce didn't perform a NVIDIA flash or repartition the drive, the backup data should still be there. I've loaded many custom roms by wiping cache and data (factory reset), and all I had to do was reinstall Titanium Backup and restore my apps.
I had the same problem yesterday on my Vegan GTab. GMail wouldn't work either, and my Nook app wouldn't sync with my online account. I didn't try any fix but after shutting down the device last night, I fired it up this morning and everything was working fine.

[Q] How to backup before & restore after factory reset HTC Sensation 4G?

I'm thinking to do a factory reset - HTC Sensation 4G T-Mobile since my phone seems to be consuming more battery today.
<The reason was yesterday, I drained the battery until the phone died by itself. Recharged overnight until full this morning. Installed Fandango & Chase app. After that, somehow my phone's battery indicator (Batstat app) showed a fast discharging rate and my screen became unresponsive.>
So my question is, what are the correct steps to perform either before & after factory reset?
Below is my plan, please tell me if I do something wrong or miss some steps.
1. Backup contacts & calendar using HTC Sync
2. Backup apps using 'App Backup & Restore ' app
3. Backup sms using 'SMS Backup & Restore' app
4. Do Factory Reset
5. Restore contacts & calendar by syncing the phone using HTC Sync
6. Reinstall 'App Backup & Restore ' app and restore all apps
7. Reinstall 'SMS Backup & Restore' app and restore all sms
Is this the correct procedure?
The songs, photos & videos are stored safely in SD card, right? or do I need to back them up separately?
Is it true that Factory Reset won't affect the SD card?
Sorry for this noob questions.
Thanks for the help.
I think you pretty much covered it,and your SD card will be fine so all your music and photos will be there,also the sensation will automatically reinstall most if not all your apps once you sign into your gmail,sync and open the Market just wait a few minutes and bam you should be back in business,although if you have any apk's installed from SD you will need to manually reinstall those items.I have tested this when i did a factory data reset and this also worked when I switched out my device for a new one so I know it works.Hope this helps.
Cheers

Do you back up just the apps that came with the phone or the ones you installed as well?

Jst the ones you installed. The preinstalled apps will be installed during the factory reset.

for some reason my app all disappeared after i restored my phone, i have enable my gmail and it is all synced, but for some reason they are not on there, i had to go back in the market and had to download them all again...i am so lucky i have a unlimited plan.
what am i doing wrong??

I need help. ** PROBLEM SOLVED**

Im on Valhallah 1.1 and I linked every app I could to my to my external SDcards ext4 partition including the Link2SD App.
After I rebooted almost every app I linked disappeared including Link2SD and MARKET app.
I've tried battery pull/reboot. Nothing. I tried downliading Link2SD through android market on my Browser but it says it is already installed.
Does anyone know how I can fix this BIG Problem??
Thanks

Did you do a factory reset? That might be the reason why your apps are disappearing.
After wiping, you can restore your data through CWM.
That's a known issue with KH2, which is what 1.1 was based off of. I always wipe my phone after every install now for safe keeping though.

No. But I will. To restore data do I have to flash Bali 3.3 - restore Data and then flash KG4 Kernel?

I miss read your reply. I dont have the disappearing app issue. I did factory restore when I flashed the ROM weeks ago. Everything has been perfect.
My issue is the result of using Link2SD to link my apps. The only apps that Im missing are the ones I linked to my external SDcard. Which included Market app and Link2sd. I have no Market now and cant access Link2sd to swap them back.
I was wondering if an advaced data restore is the same process of restoring nandroid backup?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Thanks bkoon. That worked. My backup was a couple of days old but I'm good.
Pardon all the questions I'm at work and was bugging out (80's slang lol) cause my phone was a mess.
Thank you for your quick reply!
Mods can close this thread. Problem fixed.

Does everything get deleted

Hi I was wondering when you wipe the system and data does it delete everything on the internal memory like music and photos?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
If you do fastboot -w you will lose everything (experience). Not sure about factory reset. But if you have the rogue recovery you can turn off wiping /data/media and do a factory reset that won't erase all you data on your internal sdcard.

Wiping system data clears the data folder (user settings, downloaded apps...etc). Your picture and music folders should remain as is.

Lost data, need your input -

d2vzw running Liquid Smooth 2.10 with BMS kernel, not sure what happened but while i was setting up rom, i lost information on /mnt/sdcard/android/data/com.banana.threenotes (catch notes data, such as images).
The ****ty part is, it's on the internal storage, so i've tried some restoring methods and i've gotten nothing. Also, i've renamed the .nomedia file so that way media can be read (.nomedia is in the android folder).
Let me know if you guys\gals have any ideas. thank you in advanced-
Factory reset or reflash ROM will help you..

How will a factory reset or reflashing a ROM help recover data on the /mnt/sdcard/android folder?
I've already restored to my backup and it ain't there.

can't say that helped. The files are gone permanently. This is the data of catch notes, which was discontinued (sync services) but it still worked on local storage, it saved it on /mnt/sdcard/android/data , i lost it in transition (the only thing i lost) of going from LS 3.0 beta to LS 2.10 (which is still 4.3) , i'm looking for ways to run data recovery on internal memory -

I'd say it's gone, a nandroid won't restore anything on your internal storage. Even if restore a perfect backup nothing will come back.
I would try using a file manager and navigating to the folder and checking manually where it could have gone from there, but something probably got corrupted.
