Okay, it has been around 20 days since i installed CM9.1 Build 11 by ayushrox in my HTC Explorer, when it suddenly reset itself, deleting all my data, and my SD card partition.
I did not understand what caused this problem. I have my data backed up, so its not a big worry, but i dont like installing apps again and again, and losing my game highscores.
The state of the phone before the reset was normal.
Any ideas folks? I will be seeing if it resets again after 20 days, maybe some cycle or so?
Well I think your problem is some app or some malware has infected your cellphone

I did a complete flashing (Wipe Data, Wipe Cache, Flashing ROM, Gapps). It should not be a malware assuming all Software components must have been wiped out of the system. Lets see if it goes well this time!
Close the topic... Issue resolved

You have to give more information for someone to help.

I know I'm still new but...
Did you do a data wipe? What rom were you using earlier? Did you have a nandroid backup? And what roms are you trying to switch to (I know that the newest Android Revolution had a problem with its files, patched now though)?
Ok this is what happened so far. I went back to the original new update stock. I used the hack kit and did the root. I installed RCMix and it was working and I made a backup. I tried to install ultimate Droid and phoenix evolution and it will take me to clockwork and delete the old files and install the new ones . It will reboot but stay on the HTC white screen.

Boot into recovery via rom manager or press volume down+power and hold,and reboot to recovery via hboot. Now go to mounts and formats I believe and format data,catche, system and then go back and flash your rom. I had same issue till I formatted my system. You don't lose root or SD data. Give it a try and let me know how it goes

Thanks Matt that worked . Idk why it did that though

Well there's data files and configurations that are leftover from the previous rom,and when its still there the newer files mix with the older ones (that aren't the same) and causes bootloops 95% of the time. So just by doing a data wipe,it still doesn't clean it throughly. Glad I can help.

Data wipes
So a data wipe doesn't remove all the old info/files? I'm currently getting a "System UID's conflict". Should I format the data/cache/system and reflash to resolve or just try a data wipe again?
Well usually it does by I've had issues after a wipe. Factory reset and clearing dalvik and catche sometimes doesn't do it for me. So u can formal system,catche, data and then reflash the rom. BUT before even attemping to flash the rom,make sure the md5 matches up so u didn't end up with a bad download. If the md5 matches with what the op provides,or search the market for the program (afv something) and check it. Then if its matching,then format the partitions,then flash.

sometimes if you are dl-ing the rom from your phones browser it doesn't dl it completly either. had that happen twice.
I hear there is a bug in Rom manager and it doesn't properly wipe data and cache. Easy way past the problem is to wipe it manually in recovery.

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.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
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?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
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')
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Yup I deselected all the system restore files and only restored my apps and data...

So recently I had to use a CWM backup because I had soft bricked my phone...after doing so I realized that I had 2 of some apps in the drawer. Both seem to be working fine but I was wondering if there was a way to get rid of them as they just look annoying to me lol, its only the Market, Reader and System apps that seemed to have doubled
Try doing a full wipe including dalvik cache and reinstall the backup
Reboot your phone and they should go away.
Yeah I did that twice after the second one it worked

Happened to me once. That is how I knew a reboot fixed it.
Ok I am trying to install rcmix ice Rom I get as far as the htc boot screen even after 10 mins I don't get any further I have a backup that I can fall back on

Try pulling the battery and putting it back in, if it doesn't boot up then, go to recovery, wipe data/factory reset, then wipe system for good measure. Install the rom and reboot. Should function after that. Some users reported first boot taking 20 to 30 minutes. I've installed ICS 4 times, each time was 3 to 5 minutes for me (all different roms).
Did a battery pull and did wipe of data and all that pet it go for a good hour and still nothing restored to backup for now

Did you flash the firmware update that is required for it?
Hmm it won't let me it says no image found
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Tried merely powering on and off the phone after say 4-5 mins after flashing? sounds silly I know.
My suggestion would be to restore stock ROM, reinstall recovery and root then try again. Make sure to clear everything, 4EXT is nice for that as requires only one time selection. Also I suggest backup memory card then reformat it, copy back only user files not Android previous file systems etc.
Good luck

Is the firmware update going through hboot or clockworkmod

So my phone has been randomly rebooting and sleeping indefinitely quite often over the past two weeks. I was just wondering if there is a simple fix to this that won't require any backup or anything. It isn't a huge deal to me right now, and if it requires backing up things then I will probably just wait until I'm ready to do a full ROM wipe and re-install.
Why can't you do a backup in your recovery. You must have a custom recovery if you're thinking of a clean rom install. Back it up and do a factory reset.

As I stated in the original post, if there isn't a solution that doesn't require a backup, then I will just do a clean install when I get around to it. Right now, I'm just looking for general trouble shooting that may lead to a quick fix.

I don't think there is one other than reboot. You can try to clear the caches in recovery and that may help
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
If I clear something such as the dalvik cache, will I lose anything like text messages or contacts?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Contacts, no. I'm not sure on the text messages.

Do a full wipe and reinstall with a updated ROM or new DL of the old one. Backup your contacts of course but if you want to do something simple then boot into recovery a wipe cache then dalvik then fix permissions

no, you will lose nothing when clearing both caches, it cleans the cobwebs out, very safe todo and recommended, but wont solve every issue, recomendation is to start fresh with the issues you have, what rom are you on now

I figured as much, but I just really don't feel like doing a full, fresh start. I'm not sure exactly which ROM anymore. I've been running it for over 6 months and I think it was basically a beta type thing when I installed. To be perfectly honest, I'm surprised it lasted this long without a full wipe.

goto settings>about to see what rom you are on
the reason to start fresh is to check for hardware problems
there is no quick fix for what you have
As it turns out, my problem was a usb cable that was shorting out. I finally noticed that it happened almost every time I plugged the cable in to charge the phone. As soon as I plugged it in, the phone would freeze and then black screen.
