[HELP] Factory Reset - Legend General

Oh man oh man
So, I tried to flash a new ROM to my Legend last night. I got the boot loop problem and everything I tried wouldn't resolve the issue. To cut a long story short I had to factory reset. I got the stock ROM back working again, however, now the market isn't working properly and ADB is also not working as it was previously.
I was going to just flash another ROM, not a big problem as m other setup had become slightly buggy, but I first needed Clockwork MOD. I was unable to download from the market as every download fails saying "Download Unsuccessful". So I found an apk for ROM Manager and tried to install that via ADB. That then fails with "ROM Manager does not contain AndroidManifest.xml"
To get the market working again I've tried a lot of stuff I found via google:
Turn off / on mobile and Wifi networks
Unmount SD card, tuen off phone, take out the SD card, reinsert, and reboot
clear the market cache
Unknown Sources checked
All failed. There is a lot of posts out there saying to "Uninstall Market Updates" but that doesn't seem to be an option when I go to Manage Apps> Market.
Any idea where I go from here?
Cheers!
Edit - Just noticed that in Manage Apps > Google Apps all the buttons (clear cache, defaults etc.) are all greyed out.

I will shortly write a guide for the easiest way to factory reset/unroot your device..

[Q] What now?

So I just successfully rooted my Aria, but that's all I've done...I'm kind of overwhelmed here and have no idea what to do. So what's next?
Also, for some reason my phone is saying: "Low on space; Phone storage space is getting low." and it wants me to delete apps i've downloaded. Is there a way to fix this since i rooted?
Just flash a rom and you should get all the blotware out
sent from my HTC Intruder
Yeah flash a custom rom..and also make sure you have apps to SD enabled and have a partion made on SD to save them there..this will delete everything on SD so back it up first. Try flashing cyanogen 6.1.1 ...its awesome!

I'll agree with installing cm 6.1.1 it's awesome! Also get setcpu, not just for OCing but great four power saving!

Alright, you have two choices, the CM 6.1.1 ROM or the FR008 HTC Sense liberated ROM.
CM 6.1.1 is better battery, but doesn't have htc sense. Looks more like stock android.
You can overclock on both.
CM6.1.1 seems to be faster to me.

Read up on them, and download one of them. Plug your phone into your computer and mount usb storage. Move the .zip to your sd card.
Turn of your phone, and then turn it on by holding the power button and the volume down button. Go to wipe data / factory reset, and do that. Also go to advanced > wipe dalvik cache. Also wipe the cache partition if you want to.
Go to install zip from sd card and find the .zip file.
If you have apps you want to back up, download an app called ASTRO before you start. Once installed, press menu, then select tools, and go to app manager / backup and backup the apps

Disconnect before booting to clockwork.
thanks everybody. the advice here has been very useful. I'm now on Cyanogen 6.1.1. Got everything setup and almost back to the way I had it before. I also solved my phone memory problem by moving all apps to SD and setting app download location to SD as well.
again, thanks all. and I'm still pretty new to this so I'm always open to suggestions.
EDIT: I can't open browser or messaging threads now...i keep having to force close it. Please help!

The flashing instructions are that you do a nandroid backup, wipe data, wipe dalvik cahce, and then flash the rom. Sooooo... Just boot into clockwork and follow the flashing instructions again. Be sure that you wipe data... this really is important.
okay i booted to clockwork, wiped data, and clicked the wipe dalvik cache. didn't nandroid because already did that right after i rooted. when i clicked wipe dalvik cache, it didn't seem do do anything...no graphical response like with the factory reset. then i installed the zip files for cyanogen mod and google apps. booted up and restored all my apps. browser still doesnt work and i haven't tested the text message thread view because i have no messages...
i got the roms from the big thread of roms on this site...
please help...
UPDATE: The messaging app works fine for now. The defualt browser still doesn't work right. It says "The application Browser (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I just downloaded Skyfire, so it's not too big of a deal. As far as I can tell everything is working fine, but I'd still like to figure out what the problem is.
EDIT: It's now doing the same thing with with Google Framework, and doesn't remember my contacts or call log that i put in JUST this morning. And messaging is just like it was before. This was after I turned the phone off and rebooted later.
Sounds like you did everything right...try deleteding that file from SD and redownloading it..flash straight from SD ...make sure you follow all above steps again and make sure your not plugged in to USB ...other than that I see no reason browser wouldn't work...
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
I guess you already know steps but just you to be sure;
- Re download zip
- place it in your SD card with usb
- unplug usb cable and boot into recovery
- wipe data
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash rom (be sure that you still unplugged usb cable)
- boot
P.S: Or just try another rom to see if its working fine?
After the Aria is rooted:
Do I need to install a new ROM before using applications like "ROM Manager", Busybox or "Titanium Backup * root"?
Thanks.

No, once you are rooted you can install and use apps that require 'root' access like ROM Manager, Titanium Backup, etc.

[Q] market is unfortunately stopped on 2.2.1

Hello everyone
I've got a strange problem with the latest 2.2.1. The market is unfortunately stopped if i open him. I've got a replacement but i really want the normal app working. Why happens this and what should i do? Flash it again? Cause things like the clear cache and updates doesn't work.
thanks in advance
Maybe a hard reset, will work?
Joost
1) don't know how to do on 2.2.1
2) i don't think it should work, because it was after the last update and my friend has the same problem
Go in recovery. Wipe user data.

Ehm, maybe this sounds strange but i'm bricking my phone over now.
1) All the apps i instal (not with the market :S), are installing for a long, long time. After a few minutes if i start my phone and look in my launcher, there isn't a sing that the app is installed. And if i look in the settings, i see nothing.
2) The market doesn't work.
3) After i update my phone, my whole recovery was gone. So if i open fastboot or something i see a black screen.
So is there a way to get it reset? HELP ME!!
I think this needs a reflash.

do you actually have the market, or is the google apps zip not flashing at all?
try clearing the data and cache from the market app(settings, applications, then choose market app, then hit clear data and cache). See if that fixes your downloading issues.
I dont have the market, the rom doesn't come with any apps put in by google and it wont let me install any apps whatsoever through the file manager..and i have no marketplace either so it's just ridiculous.. lol but whatever i've decided to go back to ice glacier till cm7 is good...ice glacier is MUCH more stable
Appears you haven't followed cm7 install instructions. gapps zip should be flashed the FIRST time you install, along with the ROM. Then, on your first use of the Market app - automatic or you cancel out during first boot provisioning sequence - Market will download all your previously installed apps for you. Like magic.

i tried everything. what you said what i said what others told me. nothing worked.
You stated Market was not installed. You also stated you followed directions correctly. One of those can't be the case.
Try a complete reinstall. From recovery, format /system, factory reset, then reinstall both cm7 and gapps from their zips. On the first boot, you'll be prompted to select some apps from Market. You can cancel out to set up wifi or do other stuff...but the first time you run Market you'll get the same opportunity. When Market runs, all apps you've downloaded will be downloaded again.
Be very careful restoring any system data from Titanium Backup. Email data and SMS data, AW Launcher should be ok.

go to rom manager.
under "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Your current recovery should be 2.5.1.4 and not 2.5.1.2
Be sure you have the latest build to install gapps.
May the force be with you.
Not trying to sound like an ass but I honestly have tried everything you guys have said but they all did not work I didn't com on here and ask for help when there's many threads for that I've looked I'm not the retard that reads nothing and then asks for help..I posted this thread cause nothing has worked whatsoever..
Let's get this straight. You did a COMPLETE wipe as described, installed cm7, installed gapps, booted, and you weren't prompted to run Market or cancel during that first boot sequence? Or after your boot completed, Market wasn't installed?

Yep i've even tried installing cm6 same problem..i guess i was not destined for cm..
I can only think of two possibilities. You will, I'm sure, laugh at #2, and assume it is an impossibilty. Yet I think it more likely than #1. But you can test #1 by creating a new, temporary gmail account. If you don't get Market, then the answer must be the one you don't believe: #2.
1. There is something dreadfully wrong with your gmail account settings.
2. You are missing a critical step in the installation process.
If you do find things working with your new gmail account, you could compare account information and try to effect repairs -- Google's dashboard might be a place to start.
yea if your not getting market thats a big issue..... are you using the right gapps? cause CM6 and CM7 have different Gapps i think. i know you think we're a bit retarded cause you've gone through and tried all these methods. but unless you give us a FULL detailed account of exactly everything you did we won't know. not to bash just letting you know. and yea i know its frustrating just take your time. dont want to brick your phone.
nah i kno you guys are trying to help lol ill try the gmail account thing tho and let you guys kno how it goes :] and i also used the gapps appropriate for each cm hehe i generally follow exactly what needs to be done... but thnx for the help guys sorry if i went off earlier..

Have you tried a fastboot wipe before installing CM7? That would be my suggestion. Also, make sure you are flashing thru recovery so you can make sure to be able to see any errors while flashing. It sounds like it isnt even installing any of the apps that are included. You can also use a file explorer and look in your system/app folder and see if anything from the gapps zip has been installed. You can also take the vending.apk and push it via adb or copy and paste it via Androidmate (free in market). Just make sure you check and fix the permissions to match all the other apps in the folder.
I really think a fastboot wipe will do it but you can try and check the other stuff first. Maybe it is placing them but not installing for some reason.
Well the gapps aren't the only problem tho which is why I don't think it's an installation problem. Even if iI tried installing other apps it just says app not installed like the package installer isn't working...maybe the main problem lies there?

[Q] LauncherPro Plus keeps refreshing - possible SD Card issue?

I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope this will do...
All of a sudden today my MT4G with LauncherPro Plus keeps refreshing or restarting or something on the home screen. Sometimes it does it every minute or so other times it does it so rapidly the home screen isn't even showing up before it does it again.
Worst part aside from the annoying bright flash every time it happens is that it kicks me out of apps to do it.
It's not a Force Close and no errors pop up it just refreshes to the Home screen as if I hit the Home button or restarted LauncherPro.
I am so confused.
I have no new apps recently, but I did Root a few days ago using The Unlockr's Visionary root.sh method. Had no problems when doing it and phone has been fine since until this. No custom ROM yet, still on Stock 2.2.1 while I research which one I want to get.
I already wrote to the LauncherPro people who thought it might be because Keep in Memory was checked, but it isn't checked so no help there.
There was one point when I unmounted my SD card to put it in the pc to get to the files because this issue kept kicking me out of Astro and I couldn't get anything done. And while the card was out, it did not do it. As soon as the card was back in though it started up again.
Sometimes restarting LP will help, but other times it will make it go more frequently. So frustrating.
Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction. I have a video of it if that will help to post it, but it doesn't show much, just the home screen restarting several times. Also happy to provide any more info anyone thinks might be helpful it stopping this.
Thanks so much!
Jen

OK thank you very much I will check that out tomorrow. Don't want to try something new half asleep. LOL
Uninstall didn't work :-( it's still doing it. Not quite as frequently but bad enough I am still getting kicked out of apps. I'm wondering if it is even a launcherpro issue since I never had a problem before yesterday. Any and all suggestions, help, advice and ideas welcome. I'll try anything this is driving me crazy!
Lol try the Uninstall method but instead install another launcher then press the home button to choice the newly installed launcher and see if that works ?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Tried ADW Launcher and it did the same thing :-( Guess it is not LP after all. I put LP back and reboot. As of now it is not doing it, but I am very afraid to reboot or do anything in case it starts up again LOL
Can't help wondering if when I flash a new ROM it might stop altogether...
is this issue solved?

well depending on what ROM you have installed (Im assuming stock froyo after reading the OP), just run the ROM Manager app and then "reboot into recovery". from there, the recovery screen comes up. you can then "wipe cache partition", then "advanced>wipe dalvik cache". finally, "advanced>fix permissions" and after its done you can then reboot your phone. this USUALLY fixes a lot of problems with FC's and other issues

Update: It has continued to do it, not constantly, and seemingly randomly, but yeah, not totally fixed. Going to flash the new CM7, trying to fix other issues, maybe that will help.
I did try your above advice, wiped the caches, fixed permissions... it was stable for a few days then started up again. Really bad at first, like I wasn't even seeing the screen before it flashed again repeatedly. That was about a week or so ago... Now it is still doing it but every couple minutes instead. I mostly don't notice it unless I am in one of the apps it kicks me out of when it happens. Really really annoying. hopefully the new ROM will help.
Has anyone else been having this problem or found a solution. I've been trying to flash a new ROM this weekend, but can't stay in any apps long enough to prepare the phone for it. Titanium Backup and ROM Manager keep closing because of the launcher restarts. Not force closes, they just exit out and go back to the home screen which just keeps refreshing. I can't stay in Apps2Sd Pro long enough to move apps, can't stay in the market to update apps, and can't uninstall anything, I can't even stay in Astro long enough to do anything. It's driving me insane and I really want to make sure as many apps as I can are moved to the SD card and backed up to flash the new ROM. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Q] Have I bricked it?

I wanted to root my phone and my wife's so that we could use the wifi tether built into the phone. I followed the directions for the OneClick Root and Recovery (worked fantastically, thanks guys!!) And then installed the wifi tether. v3.1beta6 also works great by the way!!
Of course then I did something stupid. When I found that the market didn't work I ran an app called Eris Market Fix that another android site said worked for GalaxyS phones. Now my phone (not dumb enough to test it on the wife's first) will not turn un or boot fully. I get the Samsung Mobile screen and then it goes dark and gives the Force Close single--double vibration and repeats.
Can I fix this or is my phone finished? Once I do, how do I get the market to work on both?

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik cache in clockwork?
Sent from my SPH-D700
also, it's impossible to say for sure at this point, but i highly doubt u did anything permanent to your phone. worst case scenario, u may just end up starting over from scratch...
and maybe try what ^ac suggested before restoring your nandroid backup, sometimes clearing cache and dalvik can help a LOT!!! but it also has to be done from inside clockwork mod recovery.
Bricking is when the phone is literally a brick, no power, no lights, no nothing. I prefer Sponged for this condition. As a last resort if you have no backup (shame) and clearing dalvik and cache don't work, do a Factory Data reset and it will delete any third party apps and data. You will need to set your phone back up but if you have been saving your contacts on Google and not your phone you will get them back when you sign in to gmail.
Right. I have no backup that I'm aware of since I only did the three things listed above. I've seen where it says to use adb for stuff like this, but I do not know where or how to access that. When I plug my phone in to the computer via usb though it says adb found.
I know that clockwork and other were installed but where do I find them?
Edit: So clockwork was found through the vol down, power, camera reboot attempt, so now I know where to make a backup from next time. *embarrassed* Haven't messed with computers like this for years.
dalvik and cache wiped. no change.
Wipe and factory reset (with sd card removed) no change.

then black screen and single vibrate
pause and (sorry) triple vibrate

Clockwork is your recovery, you access this by 3-finger booting into recovery.
You first turn your phone off wait till its off for sure then you power the phone on by holding the volume down button the camera button, and the power button until the menu shows up.

At this point you will need to Odin your phone back to its original condition. Go into Development sub-forum and at the top in the stickies is a thread called how to fix a semi-bricked Epic. The file links and instructions are in the 1st post. This will wipe everything from your phone and put Android 2.2 back on.

I have been here before as well. I have tried just about all the roms that are out there. If you want great performance and great battery life this rom is the best I have used yet. This is based off of 2.2 android. Everything works minus the sprint bloatware. Here is a link http://randomking.romgeeks.com/development/randomrom-2-2/

Follow his instructions. If you have a problem let me know. Good luck
Thanks again! I'm back up and running. Still need to figure out how to make the market work for paid apps after I root again, but I do intend to remove the bloat ware and speed things up.
Happy I still have my phone though
