ok i have a viewsonic G-tablet rooted and has a custom rom. yesterday i decided to play with the other roms to see what i like best. at this point everything was working fine (market,gmail,etc). i reset the tablet to get to recovery and backup my rom. this is were everything goes wrong, recovery wass gone just gone. i tried reinstalling and still got nothing, found out the bootloader somehow got erased (but yet would still boot android, dont know how the [email protected] that works) so i boot up my linux machine and load on Vzflash and restored it to stock tnt, rerooted and installed VEGAn. i went to the accounts and sync settings to add my google account and after putting in my info it hangs for 3 minutes then says that i do not have a reliable data connection (but i do i was just using the browser and rom manager) i tried resetting the gapps, reinstall them, reflash the rom, wipe system data, wipe cache, wipe delvik, (iv done so much wiping the store is out of paper lol). i have also tried logging in with just the youtube app and while it did when i tried to use market i got the same error from when i tried to log in with the sync menu. i have also tried logging in the initial setup screen with no luck. i have been searching the internet for 2 days and have tried everything. WTF DO I DO!?!?!?!
did my device get banned from google or something. i have never done anything illegal with my android devices and all ways pay for my apps. i only root so i can get access to my cpu and with the gtab to get to the market.
this happened to me before with my G1 and fixed itself in a day but htis seems different.
i also edited my google account from my computer to allow multiple sign-ins.
i aslo F reset my phone to see if its just google or my account and it signed in just fine the first time.
has anyone else experienced this? BTW im in rochester ny

thank you the first link worked right away
I can log into my google account, but the only device associated with the account is my droid. How do I add my Gtab to the account as well?
For example if I want to download the Tegra 2 app from the Nvidia website, you log in with google accounts. Then it asks which device I want to download it to. Right now it only shows my droid as an option.
so I installed eaglesblood version 1.08 i think. It is the latest one whaterver version it is and it was a great rom I really liked it but how do you get it to sync with google? Do I have to install gaps or something?If anyone knows I would really like some help because it is way better than stock. I had to restore my last rom because I needed to use the phone for contacts and also I live on long island and we just got hit with a hurricane and I was without sevice when I did the flash and I had no way to get to the market to install anything.

Yes you have too flash gapps. Il here is the link download it place on sd card boot into cwm and install the zip http://www.multiupload.com/WK7CNN5YLR dont forget too hit the thanks.button
Gapps gives you the.market google maps and gmail. Too sync with google u need too have the gapps installed. And click menu settings accounts and syn and click add account then select google and sign in your google account. Then your contacts will be restored and you can download from the market
Cool thanks alot. That is what I thought. I will hit the thanks as soon as I can get to a PC. App doesn't seem to ha e a way to thank you.

That is why i do not use the app i go too xda website.on dolphin browser. Thats how.i read the forumsband download my roms
I also use dolphine HD browser it is the best mobile browser I have ever seen. I dont know why I didnt think of hat in the first place. Oh well I took care of it again I really apriciate your help. So I take it you use Eaglesblood yourself? If I have any question can I ask you? I do want to try all of the ROMS on this fourm.
OK this is weird I reinstalled it and everything is fine but I seem to haved lost my internal SD card. in file manager I cant find it and even when I hooke it up to my PC it is not there. Any Ideas anyone? I did two things differently when I flashed this time. I Always wipe the Dalvik first which I did but then I wiped thecache then did the factory reset usually I just go in order in the list and do Data reset then the one after wipe cache could that have anything to do with it? Also after I flashed the EB ROM I flashed the LG camera and gaps before I reset the phone instead of doing all three in a seperat process maybe that did it? If anyone can help I would really apriciate it.

update: I restored my last backup from right before I flashed EB and everything went back to normal. So what I am doing now Is moving Titainum folder to my external SD so if it happens again I can still install my programs. Good thing I always make two backups of everything one on my HD and one on my ext HD for my computer. I am going to try again with EB because it is a kick ass ROM. Just a pain in the ass to get working right. This Is my first ROM that is not stock or based off stock like XB. I will keep this tyhread updated.
Update: Installed ver 8 again and still not working right I am not getting sservice now only wifi. So I tried ver 7 and that got service right away and it was all good for about 15 minutes and then I lost the green but still had service but no data no epc.tmobile when I search for networks I get 2 tmobile and att neither tmobile works for data. So whats happening anyone?
Hi everyone, first post here. Looked around and haven't found an answer to this yet. Phone is EVO 4G
Have flashed this rom multiple times and the rom itself functions well with little to no lag. The problems arise if I do anything in recovery. Tried flashing a kernel (goldenmonkey) and wound up with endless force closes. Did a nandroid restore to a state just before I had flashed the kernel and the force closes continued. Shouldn't the restore have returned everything to the previous state with the stock kernel as that was what I had installed with the rom? That's what always happens with the other rom I have saved on my SD card.
Just a few minutes ago, I reflashed the kingedshooter rom, installed apps, etc. Was planning on trying another kernel, but forgot to put the zip on my SD card. Anyway, I did a nandroid backup (with everything working fine) and as soon as I rebooted the phone, I could not access the settings and the power control widget I had loaded on one of my home screens was gone. I couldn't make phone calls, and would get a force close if I tried to access any settings. Tried to restore to my most recent backup where once again everything was working perfectly and am still having the issues I just described. Anyone know what's going on? Thanks.
Anyone that reads this, please disregard the above. Made a nandroid after installing a theme and kept trying to go back to that. Thanks.
I am having a problem with switching ROMs on my sensation which just started a few days ago. I am currently running ARHD 3.1.1 and it is very stable and I have had no problems whatsoever, but like many here, I like trying out different and new ROMs. Anyways, I did a backup and installed ARHD 3.6.2, and it was forcing close on several apps, and kept getting soft reboots, so I tried RCMix's, and it would load and automatically install some apps and settings that I had on my previous ROM, and it was working fine, but then I started getting soft reboots when I would open any app, so I tried about 2 other ROMs (S3n5eay/Pyramid3D) and same thing, so being fed up I restored my backup and then I began to have superuser problems, so I unistalled updates, cleared data, and still was unable to gain root access. I kept clearing data, installed superuser 2.3.6 then 3.02 and finally got root again, but everytime I reboot I lose root. I then again tried different ROMs, and same thing is happening. I have used superwipe script, ARHD's wipe script, P3D wipe script, formated from CWM, and no matter what, I am still unable to keep a new ROM and keep losing root with my backup. I'm sorry for a long post, but can anyone please help me figure this out. I have upgraded ROMs many a times in the past on this phone and others, and have never experienced these problems, so can someone please help me.
I kinda had the same problem with you, with that being root was the problem. But the ROM's are pre-rooted so that shouldn't be a problem. Try to flash the root file again, until it is succesfull flashed.
Thanks. I'll go ahead and try that.

Geez, that sounds horrible, man. It never ceases to surprise me how different every one of these seemingly identical devices are.

Well for the most part everyone downloads different software. For that just one of the factors that make us all somewhat "different" this is why everyone has some sort of problems here and there.
Most times a fix can be a reboot or reinstall of the app. Even clearing of caches helps because of data conflicts on the phone. Especially when someone like me that flashes different ROMS, that's why nandroids and backups are key so that if you fudge up your phone, you can always revert back to your nandroid.
And for all the people who are trying to revert back to their nandroid after flashing a different rom, you need to use the wipe data scripts in ARHD or Coredroid to reformat the ext4 before reverting your nandroid. Just a FYI.
All I know is that wiping everything before flashing a new ROM does not guarantee that you won't get FCs and soft reboots.
For example, I did a factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, and then did superwipe (yes I know redundant), and then flashed a ROM and I thought nothing could go wrong. Then while setting up I went ahead and setup my google account during the setup process, and once I was finished I began restoring my apps+data from Titanium Backup. While that was happening Market started auto-reinstalling my apps, and this instantly conflicted with the fact that I was doing the same thing from TB. It caused a few of my apps to FC all the time. So make sure you skip adding your google account during setup.
You can also get stuff to go haywire if you restore system data from TB. Doing so will conflict with the ROM and cause FCs and reboots. For example, I didn't know how to easily back up texts and contacts for a while, and I would go in to TB and restore everything that said something like mms, messages, texts, messages widget, etc. and doing so actually caused my messages to go haywire. Same thing with contacts. The only things you should be restoring from TB are your user apps+data. As already noted, you should also superwipe before restoring a nandroid because it is exactly like flashing a new ROM. If you're on a ROM you just flashed that has 1 version of superuser, and then you go straight into recovery and restore a nandroid without wiping everything first (and has a different version of superuser), you're going to get issues with superuser.
The rule of thumb when it comes to avoiding FCs and reboots is to avoid letting data conflict. Don't mix ROM data, don't mix app data, don't restore system settings from your old ROM on your new one, etc.
Believe me, I have attempted everything without any success. I guess I'm going to stay on my current ROM until I get the time to deal with all of this, and hoping that for whatever reason I don't have to reboot my phone, or that it randomly reboots in order not to deal with the problems. I have always wiped going/coming from different ROMs, but have never experienced this before, and it is very frustrating especially when I like to try different developers mods. I'll keep attempting to try to figure this out, and if I find a solution, I will update.

Keep trying different ROMs and different strategies of when you wipe/restore stuff. It's quite interesting that theoretically identical phones can have different responses to the exact same actions. 2 people can install a ROM in the exact same way and for 1 it will work, the other it won't. You just gotta work it out until you figure out how to manage your particular issues.
Yeah, I hear you. It's just very frustrating when in the past I have switched ROMs on all the phones that I have ever owned without any problems until now. But I'll try different methods and see what happens. I appreciate everyones input. Thanks. Oh, and if anybody has any other suggestions, please, share.
Ok, I was able to get Pyramid3D v0.8.0 working so far. I flashed with superwipe about 3 times then installed the ROM. I did not sign into my account, and installed my apps from titanium first, and then signed in. I got several reboots with setcpu so I unistalled it. I also get a few market fcs. Now the problem that I have is that I installed the 4EXT recovery and my phone is unable to play my music files through any of the music players. I am able to open them with astro, but not music player. But I guess I'll try to figure this one out now. Thanks for the advice.

Good post. I didn't realize I should be doing so much wiping even before restoring a backup.
Incidentally, I'm kicking myself now, but in the excitement of flashing my first custom ROM, I forgot to backup my original system. Doh. It's the only time I haven't backed up before changing ROMs, but that's arguably the most important backup to make.
So i was doing a little flash dancing between ROMS today, don't know if adding the new FP1 modems is what caused this or not, but restore wouldn't work. I tried restoring to tweakstock and got an md5 error, tried restoring to eclipse and infinity and both gave the same md5 error. I tried an old ass backup file from a few months ago, that one installed, but got stuck in a bootloop and couldnt get out of it no matter how many times i tried wiping data and restoring that backup. So basically i had to start from scratch, went with tweakstock and for some reason ive had a few issues. 1. google backup and restore wouldnt restore any of my apps which sucked, luckily i have titanium too. Contacts wouldnt sync to SNS facebook account, had to install the damn app to sync contacts. And lastly, the market is, well...still the market, and the froyo one at that. Usually it would upgrade itself when i first try to download something, but not this time. any ideas??
[Q] Restore didnt work and now stuck with old market

I don't think it is the fp1 radio or more people would be dealing with the same issues especially flashing the full fp1 rom we've got. What kernel/rom were you using before you went all "flash happy" . I am thinking maybe you had ext4/lagfix enabled, and then you tried to restore a nandroid that was rfs enabled? Also when you say you started from scratch.. do you mean that you wiped and then flashed tweak through CWM, or that you odin'd back to stock with the pit file, which would likely fix your issues especially if they are partition related (might as well since you haven't been able to nandroid restore anyway).
ive been on pjb since january, all the restores were also pjb. the only difference has been the fpo1 modem. but ill prob odin back to stock n see if that does anything over the weekend...fingers crossed
Cool

Sounds good, lemme know if that fixes you up, it definitely should. One of the reasons I love my droid so much is that you can f**k it up in so many ways and 99% of the time you can get right back to stock and try again .
