"The application My Accounts (process.motorola.setup) Has stopped unexpectedly. please try again. EVERYTIME!

Thanks in advance for taking the time to help or atleast read.

Are u on a stock ROM? If so u may need to find an ruu and reflash. If custom reflash the ROM.zip right over top of your current ROM. Wipe cache and dalvik and reboot.

Today I decided to update my Aria AT&T to Froyo, however i have some questions prior doing this:
1. How can I back-up all my data that I have on my phone?
2. Can I fully de-brand my Aria AT&T phone? How? Link?
3. If I debrand it, will I be able to use updates directly from HTC for "naturally" debranded arias?
4. Which Froyo works best? Is there an 100% working one?
I understand that search button is my friend, but unfortunately it is very difficult for me to follow all the info found on this website, especially when english is not my mother language. Please excuse my newbeeness

1. Once you have rooted your Aria, boot into ClockworkMod and perform a full 'nandroid' backup of your current rooted system. You can use this as a restore point in your ROM flashing adventures. But as far as retaining your current data when you flash a new ROM you are more than likely going to have to reinstall all your apps on the new ROM. For your contents, you can sync them to your Google account and when you load a new ROM and enter your Google account during setup you can resync your contacts.
2. The Liberated Series of ROM are HTC Sense ROMs with all of the AT&T bloat ware removed. You can get either the Eclair 2.1 version (Liberated R012) or the Froyo 2.2 version (Liberated FR008).
3. As long as you have a rooted phone, there really isn't any advantage to getting an official HTC OTA update. In fact, chances are when you take an OTA update from HTC, you will lose root. Best advice is to wait a few hours and let the devs come out with a rooted, flashable version of the HTC update to preserve your rooted environment.
4. Personally I prefer CyanogenMod 6.1.1 for my Froyo ROM of choice. I have also tried Liberated FR008 and it retains the HTC Sense interface. Best advice is to try them and see which one you like best.

Let me sympathze with you... i have been there.
So let me try to explain a little and there are some videos to help
The first thing you will probably want to do is 'root' your phone - by doing this you are invalidating your warrenty - but heck - who cares - what you want is a phone that runs the latest OS right and provides you all the goodies that ATT keeps you from......
Check out these links
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-root-the-htc-aria-unrevoked-method/
and
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/02/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-htc-aria/
they might help
ClockworkMod is what most people use , it provides you the ability to
perform a back up (nandroid) as well as
install Custom MODs (the reason you are here isnt it?)
I would suspect you would want the latest MODs - to do you should look to the forums - as they change every so often.
The good thing is - with the MODs and ClockworkMod - changing these ROMs are fairly simple. Just download the ROM (zip) , copy it to your SD card on the phone (use USB) - then boot your phone (turn off , ON in a special way ) into Clockwork MOD, Wipe the Caches, install from SD (find the ROM you put on there)
bingo - new Mod.
If you like the HTC Sense flavor - then currently - you will probably want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
If you dont need or want HTC Sense and want something different - try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821642
(dont forget the google addons too)
They are both excellent ROMs - and would recommend you try both at sometime and decide yourself - and yes - they are both very stable.
As for the HTC Over The Air version - I wouldnt install it - period.
We seriously need someone to devote a sticky thread for all of this.. Like a ROM Bible if you will.. It would help out tremendously.
Edit:
Looks like Notatreofan has one, but it needs severely updated.
Thank you guys for your responses.
I managed to root my Aria and CM6-6.1.1-Liberty works fine.
However, when I install Liberated Aria Froyo Series FR008 I get the following message on my start up screen:
"Sorry! The application settings (process com.android. settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." "Force close"
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

When you switch between CM 6 and Liberated ROM you need to make sure that you do a "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache partition" and advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" before you flash the ROM.
Also make sure that when you boot into clockwork your phone is NOT connected to your computer. Having USB connected when starting up clockwork makes funny things happen... well actually, not so funny. =)
Well, I was only doing "wipe data/factory reset", i guess this is the problem. Now i ll have to clear some data to try it again, only 52mb left from the sd...
Now it is time to do a search for a nice theme, and get the radio working. In regards to the radio, I downloaded some apps however they all work with the web, not the transmitter

I followed both advices but still no luck, the Liberated Aria Froyo is still not working
When I turn on the device and immediately after I unlock the screen, I get the following message:
Sorry! The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Any more guesses?

Have you downloaded a new copy of the Liberated FR008 and tried flashing that? It sounds like either the ROM zip file is corrupt when you flash it onto the phone or the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache is not working correctly.

I am redownloading right now, hoping that it will work.
And another thing, how do I install the "FR008 Default"? Same method like the
ROMs without wiping?

New download didn't work either, same message appeared after flashing it. Gutted

Here is the link that you should be downloading and flashing:
http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/liberated_aria_FR008_signed.zip
The "FR008 Default" is a kernel option that is already included in the ROM link above, so you don't need to worry about it. The only reason you would need to flash it is if you decided to try the Hong Kong Shipping 2.2 kernel and then wanted to switch back to the FR008 Default. You are correct in that you would flash these from ClockworkMod by using the Install ZIP from SD Card option.

OK, so let's assume that you have a good ROM flash at this point and it could be data corruption. I would boot into ClockworkMod and do another 1) "wipe data/factory reset", 2) "wipe cache partition" and 3) Advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and then reboot the phone and see if that solves your issue.
slow start
Hi
I just install 2.2 and it works no problems but booting is slow. is it normal or I just did something wrong.

It does take a few minutes to boot. If you're waiting for 6-7 minutes or more, you might have an issue.
Hi
I only did "wipe data/factory reset", and it's working fine only booting seems to be slow .
should I do it and how do I do the "wipe cache partition" and advanced -> "Wipe Dalvik Cache" or I can just leave it
Thank you

The Noobs Guide to Installing a Custom Rom

This Guide assumes that you have S-off and are rooted. It gives the most basic instructions for a first time flasher, it'll also take you through a Nandroid back up using ClockworkMod v4.0.0.4.
Select a rom.
Choose from here or, click the LBC link in my sigi and download the excellent rom and put it in the root of your SD card.
Turn your phone off and just this once pull and refit the battery, just to be sure your not going to run into any problems getting into Hboot from a power on state.
Press and hold the volume down button and press the power/on button. Your now turning your phone on and entering Hboot (bootloader). You'll soon get a white screen with skateboarding types at the bottom. (Oh dear! Notice the one on the far right looks as if he is about to fall off his skateboard! This isn't important).
Wait for the green writing to flash on the screen and go away, any errors that you notice are completely NORMAL!
Press the volume down button once more to highlight RECOVERY.
Press the power button to select.
Your phone will Vibrate (or at least mine does), and after loading you'll get a black screen with purple writing.
Congratulations are in order! You've reached RECOVERY. At this point it might be useful to go outside and bark at the moon if the excitement overcomes you. It did me.
Better? Right lets get to work. This is the business end of flashing and what can't be done here can't be done at all. Well, OK actually there is Android Flasher, Fastboot Commander and lets not forget your Command Line Editor but we'll gloss over those until you've earn't your stripes.
Using the Vol button navigate to BACK UP AND RESTORE and Select using the Power button.
Select BACK UP.
Your now backing up your existing rom and creating your first Nandroid back up. Your Nandroid back up lives on your SD card and can be moved to another file for safe keeping, renamed, corrupted or deleted. If you value your information, keep it safe.
Once finished, you'll get the message "Backup complete!" All we've done to this point is back up the rom that you've been using, at this point you could hit the power button and continue using your old rom, or wipe your phone and falsh a fresh one.
Its important to remember here that if you are going to wipe your phone, your actually deleting HTC's stock rom off the phone and a factory reset will not undo this. After you have wiped, the only way to get your phone back to a factory condition is to flash (load) a stock rom back on, (RUU). You MUST wipe your phone before installing a new rom, there is no way around this.
Wiping and flashing a fresh rom is far more exciting than HTC's offering and that's why you S-offed and rooted anyway isn't it?! Here's how we do that.
Using the Vol button, highlight WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET.
Once done, highlight WIPE CACHE PARTITION.
Normally this is enough for a normal reflash but if your recovering from a problem or an issue and want a really really good clean up, perform these optional steps:
Select MOUNTS AND STORAGE
Using your vol and power button:
format /cache
format /data
format /system
Select +++++Go Back+++++
Select Advanced
Wipe Dalvik Cache
Reboot Recovery. This step is quite important and your phone will as it says reboot, so don't worry, just let it do its thing.
Wipe Data/Factory Reset once more.
There that's all the wiping done. It's worth noting now that at this stage your phone now has no operating software installed on it! A little scary isn't it? Apart from a bootloader and a radio there's very little else on your pride and joy right now!!! YOU WIPED IT! OK, enough, lets get your new rom installed.
Select install zip from SD card.
choose zip from SD card.
Select your rom
In about 4 to 5 minutes the phone will tell you its done. (DO NOT INTERUPT THIS PROCESS), make sure you have at least 75% battery before you begin!
Are we done?
Now is the time to flash any non optional extras that your rom may need. For instance CyanogenMOD does not come with the Market or Google Apps in Update so flash them now. Refer to your rom developers page for further information on this.
Any kernels, keyboards or mods from the kitchen also get flashed here. These are a little more advanced so lets not go there right now.
Reboot system.
This is your roms intital install and always takes a while to complete. However if your waiting mor than 10 minutes at this stage consult your specific rom developers page.
Press the thanks button.
Done.
this is a very very great guide for the newbies! Thanks man
I have a question for ya... what's nandroid backup? does it backup my stock ROM as well? so if I want back my old stock rom, I just flash back the backup? Need more understanding. Thanks.!

A Nandroid back up is the back up you make while in RECOVERY mode. It is an almost complete image of the phone, system, data, and caches are saved. It is important to note that when you wipe you are WIPING HTC's ROM FROM THE PHONE! After a wipe a factory reset will not take your phone back to the state where it left the shop. You'll need an RUU for that.
I appreciate the feed back.
Thanks for the step by step guide, I flashed the Virtuous Unity ROM and it is working perfectly.
Exactly what I've been looking for, thanks

Good guide man. But you really, really want to have the phone plugged in and charged. Pref at least 75% battery if on battery power alone. Just for those unforseens ...

Great guide, thanks very much. I have a question about radios when installing a custom rom.
I see that some of the custom roms do not have a radio. How do I know which radio to use to go with that rom? Many rom threads don't seem to specify. Do I leave my stock one, or do I need a different one?
Also, if I do decide to install a custom kernal at a later time, does that mean re-installing the custom rom again first?
Thanks very much for any help for a noob to android!

Don't flash a radio unless you really need to, its not necessary, if your phone works perfectly well with the radio you have my advice is; leave well alone and use the stock radio.
Any add ons such as kernels can be flashed any time after a rom flash and there is no no to reflash a rom just for a fresh kernel etc. Just go back into recovery and flash the exta's, don't wipe.
What I would advise though is when installing any new rom is not to flash any extras until the rom has been running as a stand alone for about 30 minutes. Any, shall we say "toys," Themes and a lot of Kitchen baked stuff should be flashed after the rom has run alone a while and settled, this makes it far easier to understand any issues your fresh rom may have as its easier to identify what's causing it.
This is a bit of a minefield though because some roms need add ons for the first flash, such as CyanogenMod needs the Market and Gmail. Stuff like A2SD scripts also need to be flashed prior to the first boot or they wont work. Your rom Developer should be specific about these.

I use Titanium Back Up to freeze the apps before deleting. That way if I get too naughty and freeze something that's needed it can be restored.

Great tip, thanks again, much appreciated!
How to backup the personal data and apps at one ROM in order to restore them at new ROM? Thank you for the answer in advance.
Thanks for the guide.
Many thanks
Thank you for this great guide! I am a total noob and I flashed the LBC mod according to your guide. I already got root, as I had done this by other guide. I would like to add some advice for other noobs out there like me. The only setback I got, was that after installing new ROM, it froze, and the problem seems to be my Google account, which wants to sync all apps at once right after you have typed in your password and checked the "sync with my account" checkbox. the best would be to somehow uninstall all your apps from old rom after backing them up with Titanium. The problem was, that while trying to download all the apps again, it froze so hard, that it still showed me the charging LED, and the screen was unresponsive even after I had pulled the charger over 15mins ago. Even the power button did nothing. So I went back to recovery, trying to do the whole wiping/formatting drill with Dalvik Cache and i received errors in the recovery, even while navigating between menus that mounting recovery failed. I got very desperate and taught it would be best to just take a break. It was good idea. when I came back the phone had cooled down and I received no more errors while wiping/formatting/installing. I then just forbid the google account to back up my data online and that did the trick. No more freezes and LBC mod looks, feels and behaves just perfect. I got a whole new PDA now, with whole new capabilities. And also, many of the ROM-s does not include the Sim ToolKit, the STK. This is quite neccesary for people in Estonia and soon for most people in the world, as its neccesary for Mobile-ID. Most of us vote for president for instance by digitally signing our vote with mobile-ID which is an even greater extenson of ID-card. And as a businessman I need to give at least couple of signatures each day. I would be quite unhappy, when I would need to drive 200km to another city just to sign a document, or messing with my ID-card, card reader and stupid drivers, to sign something manually or even worse, use a pen to sign something haha So its a very vital component of all phones that use SIM-card and it soon going to be a must have in most countries in the world. So every Estonian here, if you are in need, get the neccesary STK (download the version for android 2.3.4, the 2.3.3 version won't work for LBC 0.5.3) from the Estonian Hinnavaatlus forum here: http://foorum.hinnavaatlus.ee/viewtopic.php?p=6564414#6564414
Again, thanks for the guide, its a dream come true.
Your Welcome.

Yup you can delete facebook etc, if you want to just clean it up, but your not going to make any extra room, unless you learn how to install apk apps into your system partition, rather than market apps into your data partition..

I dont think this question was answered clearly enough Can you restore your phone back exactly the way it was before with the nandroid back up you made? If not what is the point of the back up?
Also, it it best to do a nandroid back up the way you described or would it be just as good to let the ROM manager App do it for you?

Nandroid Backup (to be honest - a tiny piece of Googling would give you the answer to this) but, in answer to your question, yes, a Nandroid backup takes the phone state back to effectively when the backup was was taken....I use it often when testing ROMS and then returning to my daily use ROM.
The only thing that isn't backed up by the backup and therefore isn't restored is your Radio so if you change version you need to flash the older version (which I'm sure that you'll be advised not to!) to return to the same state you were in.
ROM Manager nandroid and manual recovery nandroid are the same, it's just a matter of choice and personal preference. Some people like command line other like GUI. However, using recovery based backup it means that you'll hopefully have a slightly greater understaing of what is actually happening and the options that are avialiable to you, which means should there ever come a time when only recovery is accessible - you won't [email protected] your pants!

Help!!! Shift is making me sick!!!

I NEED YOUR HELP!!!
I have a Shift that is making me sick
Here is the dilema:
I am able to perm root the phone but I cannot for the life of me get it to take a custom rom. I also cannot get the phone to revert to stock. I have tried RUU, I have tried PG06IMG.ZIP ... I have searched left and right, day and night .. I am ready to chuck this phone at the next person I see walking down the street!!!
I don't know what to do I just want to be able to flash custom roms and if I need to return to stock .. but I can't. All it does is go back to stock rom but it does not wipe any of my data, it stays unlocked and my banner stays the same. I have noticed my PRL keeps changing from what I have flashed, which is fine this one seems to be better.
Also it seems as if my recovery is not wiping dalvic and there is no stock recovery .. which maybe normal. I have tried everything I can think of .. any suggestions besides blind siding an innocent bystander with this hunk of junk!!??
Running 2.2 on 1.17.651.1
I just want to return to stock so I can start all over and try to get this to run customs.. at least. But before you say flash this PG06IMG.ZIP (234mbs) or RUU .. please note that I have tried. Unless yours has magical powers I have flashed it. It won't work.. I have tried factory reset, format all except sd card... I might just try that for the hell of it. Please help
***UPDATE****
I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY SETUP ... IF YOU ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ARE HAVING TROUBLE LIKE I WAS.
HERE IS THE SOLUTION:
Make sure you have the latest recovery. I had clockwork 2.0.5 I think was the version, it was not wiping dalvic or something this is what was causing all my hair to fall out.
I downloaded Rom manager and flashed clockwork recovery, the recovery now is updated to version 5.0 or something like that. I can now say it works and saved some poor innocent person from being pegged in the back of the head from a flying shift .. XD

Expert help need: Tmobile Rapport/u8160 cynogen9 boot loop (no backup)

Hello there I have tried to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259739 which is the cynogen rom (i think)
So I rooted my phone without any problems
Got Mad Manager and installed the update as it said in the instructions it said flash complete and I went to boot up my phone and it had the cyanogen9 boot up screen looking really cool so I was excited... 2 minutes later I thought oh no...
I never backed it up... Ive been looking at methods of how to restore but I only get so far before getting lost
Ive tried ADB and only got so far.
I tried the start button with volume up and down and it says "update failed"
I really dont know what to do I hope I havent broke it.
If someone could give me a noob friendly tutorial on how to fix this I would be soo greatful!
Hopefully hear from you soon
Thank you in advance!
Please folks if anyone has any idea how to help me I would really appreciate it!
Hello, you solution is fairly simple to fix. Before I was a developer I did the same thing. Never backed up. I also was excited. But this is what you do.
Download a rom and gapps package which I'm sure you had done that.
Now what you problem was you did not wipe data/factory data.
Do these in order when flashing roms.
1.boot into recovery mode.
2.do both wipes. Data/factory data and cache.
3.install. zip from SD thing. Navigate to where the rom is.
4.install the rom then the Google apps pack now reboot and enjoy.
I'd suggest. Using cm7 as default rom or my rom. Since cm9 is still in development

I'm new to this forum and would appreciate if I can get some ideas on how to fix my problem.
Ok heres what i did:
Some time ago i rooted my device and everything was perfect, but lately i keep getting errors so I decided to perform a factory reset to fix them all.
Due to my inexperience I totally forgot that after i rooted my smartphone i decided to remove the LG Home apk along with the stock browser and the Searck apk from my device, so right after the factory reset and after the initial configuration I got stuck with a black screen, therefore I can't do anything.
I tried long-pressing the MENU button, therefore, I cannot access the Google Play app through the Search to install a launcher, so, I don't know what else to do.
I really need your help, because I'm not able to purchase a new device at this moment.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

I assume if you rooted your device go ahead and find a guide for installing cwm ( if you dont have already).
Then pick a custom rom and put it on sd card ( make a folder on it and name it ROM for easier finding) and put the rom into it.
Before you "install from sd card" do: factory reset, wipe cache....then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
Then go back choose " install from sd card", choose rom folder, hit on the rom, install, reboot done.
For more help pm me just cause I have a lg E510 as well and its running cyanogen 7
If i helped hit " thanks"
Thanks!!!
