Hey. Well, let me first say I've literally spent the past 12+ hours working on my phone. I am exhausted mentally. I searched the forums and I was shocked to see that only one topic came up about it and it wasn't even about force closes. It was a 100+ page CM post.
I rooted for the first time today using a method posted on these forums + extra info I found about adding the OTA radio leak, and installed UV Hydra kernels. I got Rom manager and flashed Skyraider 2.2 Sense. I booted a few times too and all was good. I swear I thought I was doing it all right taking it slow, rreading all of the info over and over. A true noob. Everything was all cozy until I got my old apps and tried to make a backup with Titanium.
It's so cliche to say it but I need serious help. I don't know what to do and I'm near tears after all this work. I have dozens of force closes going on immediately after boot and even thereafter. At one point it asked me to reset up the phone. I can't run any app because they force close immediately.
I don't know if it's the Rom, something else, or me.
I know this is long winded. Please forgive me. And if this is in the wrong forum section, please forgive that too.
Do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rim and kernel again...but upon restoring, only restore downloaded apps, not system apps.
I remember when it took 12+ hours just to get root (for some people anyway) those were the days.

Wow, That sounds like a seriously horrific days. Not sure if I can help, but i'll sure as hell try to. Can you verify that you Baseband Version is 2.05.00.06.11?
Did you create a nandroid backup of before you flashed any of the kernels? If you did I would restore that backup as I know some people have had issues running the old .29 hydra kernels with 2.2 roms. Or was this the new .32 kernels you flashed?
If you did not create a nandroid backup I would recommend flashing the leaked OTA from 8/1 located here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742242, this is a leak of what will be close to the stock 2.2 htc will release in the near future. Remember to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache(located in "advanced" of recovery.) As soon as you flash that and can verify it is working create a nandroid backup of it before you add any apps, I would recommend signing into your gmail, testing camera and camcorder, make a call, sending and receiving both an sms and mms, 3g data check, and then creating the nandroid when you see those are working. After you create that nandroid then start installing apps. Hopefully this can help you out a little bit. If you have any questions, you can pm me and i'll do my best to try and help you out more.

I didn't see you response until after I posted and you are most likely correct. I remember now, when i tried to restore system apps when i had a droid eris, that was not a fun day. Hopefully it's an easy fix and a learning experience, easiest way to learn is to make a mistake. Even though my answer is most likely not the solution to his problem, IMHO it's essential to always keep a nandroid of stock on your sdcard at all times, just in case.
Wow I see alot of info and I'm going to work with some of it but let me add this before I start dinking around today.
Right after I posted last night, I sat on the edge of my bed and had a thought. I had made a nandroid backup when I had almost every app back on my phone. The only ones I ones I didn't have when I got stuck were, Shoot me, Titanium backup, Adfree Android, and Tasker. Tasker being the only one I had before root. The others I picked up after.
SO! I told the phone to use the backup I had and I passed out to sleep.
I'm up now lol and thankfully I'm a stay at home mom so I can mess with this.
The backup made it a working phone again! Which is good. And this morning I had a second thought. When I opened Titanium backup last night, I got a message at the bottom of my screen that said Titanium had set itself up right... but it wouldn't go away. It kept looping itself. I thought it was just a fluke. Oh god... and NOW to think about it, that's WHY I rebooted in the first place. BECAUSE in the midst of it being weird, I tried to do a backup OMG. I wonder...
My Software says
Baseband 2.05.00.06.11
Kernel has a 32 in it
Alright I'm doing this nice and slow making backups along the way.
The only quirky thing that has happened is Titanium backup started spamming me again that it had been given superuser permissions so once again I had to reboot but this time it came up. Slow.... but it came up.
I guess what I"m trying to say is that I don't have a clue now what caused it.
OH! And my kernel is a 32 that came with the rom? The UV one I forgot to put on lol. It's on my SD card but I hadn't installed it. That one is a 29.
I just found a post on Android Forums where 2 people has this happen to them last night as well on Incredibles. They were without root.
If they were without root it could be a phone defect, I was going to recommend selecting fix permissions from rom manager.
EDIT: If ur running froyo try to only use .32 kernels. New kernels r up on Hydra website that are .32 check those out

Hey guys I have been looking all over the web to find a way to get my fascinate completely back to stock. Here is the story...
Removed tons of verizon crap and had a perfectly great phone for about three weeks. I did a data wipe/factory reset to install voodoo kernel and everything worked. I installed a rom (which I dont blame) and my phone boots to the touch wiz force close loop. I would imagine it is trying to load crap I have removed. I can boot into clockwork, but adb does not recognize at this point. I load my backups buy I dont have one with stock apps. Is it possible to find a flashable stock kernel/rom/everything. Im fine with re-rooting I just cant figure this out.
also I found a system dump. Can someone give me the command to push that to sd card just in case I get adb going again.
Please help. Thanks
I can't post the URL because this forum prevents new users from posting URLs..
But try to google the phrase "force close he-double-hockey-sticks" and you should see a thread over on android central that has a solution for you.
Thanks ill check that out after work. I have managed to get the phone operational, but I can not use apps. Every single app FCs. I also can't download from the market. I believe it has somehing to do with voodoo not letting me write to the system memory. I dunno....I just want to get back to stock, reroot, and freeze apps instead of uninstalling.

It's a short process to go to stock with Odin, and then work back up from there. I did it when VooDoo hit and the whole thing took me about 2 hours, including pulling the bloatware, restoring apps, and overhauling my screens with custom crap. To stock, root, and freeze you're talking maybe 30 minutes.
BTW, not to be an ass, but looking is alot faster than posting. Before you reply and say you did, the threads for all this are front page in the development forum. Like two mouse clicks from here.
the only thing I have on my phone is Fresh 3.4.01 nothing else and it reboots at will, like a 50% boot, ie: screen remains and phone appears to reboot, but its not liek when you turn it on........seems to be happening more and more...
If I do a factory restore will I lose all my contacts ??
what do you guys think ? thanks
Did u do a complete wipe before u flashed the rom??? sounds like u didnt....
You can export your contacts to your SD card for a hard copy, and your contacts are synced with your Google account. Google.com/contacts.

Login to your Google account and see if your contacts are backed up. If not do what someone said and export to your card. Wipe and see if you still have an issue if so try a different rom.
thanks for the replys
I bought the phone new,had the last fresh on it, was only 4-5 weeks ago ?
So i`m using it for a few days works great right, then i get into the phone and see what its running,and google it and see there`s an update available, so i contacted the guy i bought it from and he says no problem do the update if you want...
So i downloaded the file,plugged in my phone to the computer put the file where it told me to, rebooted phone pressing the volume down was it ? and followed the instructions....
So basically it did an update WITHOUT wiping the phone..... truthfully i did`nt have it long enough to know if it was rebooting before i did the update so i`m not sure if its the phone or the software...
These phone are so darn cool i love it to no end, and just want it to work 110% like the rest of yours.
I am an IT consultant and could use a good remote desktop app as well, any recommendations ? as all the ones I have downloaded so far have asked for full access to my phones every move ! whats up with that ??!!!
hey thanks in advance all here you guys rock

If someone else rooted your phone there are a few things you need to do. You need to make sure you have Amon_ra recovery installed and you need to to a nand backup with Amon_ra because it backs up the wimax keys. You also need to do a full wipe when installing a new rom wipe cash and dalvik I do it two times. Than install the new rom, keep in mind you will loose everything and always do a nand backup before installing the new rom. Now if your going from a 3.1 to a 3.2 rom update a wipe is not always needed but a nand backup is incase you need to go back. Hope this helps.
If you know how to root or are capable of following instructions to the end, I say unroot and try to use it like that. If the problem persists, take it in for service. My phone started rebooting randomly because the processor was overheating. I troubleshooted by replacing the battery, changing ROM, unroot, take it in. The phone got to the point where any data intensive app would make it turn off (maps, navigation, YouTube).
might wanna check out this thread. hope this helps
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-support-troubleshooting/96897-evo-rebooting-its-own.html
OK, congratulate me!! Thanks. I did it on the first try, no issue or hiccups what-so-ever.
Now for the info. I'm not sure that anyone will be interested, but I'm guessing other people in my position at least might be.
I'm very experienced with computers, but not working directly with rooting/unlocking devices. But I would say anyone who reads up a bit and can follow directions properly could pull it off pretty easily.
So I run 2.2.2, and I used superoneclick 1.6.3.
After opening superoneclick, I switched it from psneuter to rageagainsthecage. I had no idea if I was supposed to do this, but I read all about rageagainstthecage, and never heard of psneuter.
I had my phone connected to my PC, and I left my SD in the phone, but I unmounted it in settings. I have used ADB before, so I knew the drivers were installed and working, and I hit the button root.
After reading this site, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682, I started with debugging off, and turned it on as it said. I then turned it off, but didn't get a chance to turn it back on and off and on, so I just turned it back on (debugging) when it got to "Waiting for device" for the second time.
That was it! It asked to test and see if root was in fact accomplished, and it was. I then installed setCPU (which is basically the only reason I wanted to do this) and as far as I can tell it seems to be working fine.
I have been reading a lot about this for the past few days, but the actual procedure only took a couple of minutes. Keeping in mind, of course, that I already had ADB and drivers working.
Nothing was wiped off my phone, which surprisingly was hard to confirm on the web. I did read somewhere that only unlocking wipes data, but still, you never know.
I hope this helps anyone else who is new and unsure of the process, and I'd be happy to answer any other specific questions based on what I have learned of the last week or so. I know that people hesitate to ask questions in case they have already been asked lots of times, but are buried and hard to find (because that's the position I was in ).
Thanks for posting your "rooting" experience. I'm sure there are people that will find it helpful.
I think when I did mine, it was something along the lines of:
fastboot-oem-unlock
fastboot flash recovery <whatever>
reboot into recovery and flash rom
Other than the ability to install custom ROM's I've yet to see a huge deal in rooting my phone. Anyone care to tell me what I can do with a rooted N1 that is a must have? So far I tried to change some fonts, which didn't work, and discovered that I have to install a custom ROM to change the color of the notification bar, and I can't make the default Google music and news widgets slightly transparent. So educate me, what's the huge deal with rooting, aside from a custom ROM?
Set cpu of course like being said. I remember the first time I rooted my phone was universal androot it was a breeze. Then I lost root and use super one click to gain out back. Root really easy as well

Hi N1 owners.
I also just root my N1 with superoneclick 1.6.3
After that I flashed CM 6.1.1 and yesterday I tried CM7. Everything has worked fine for me so far, but I have some questions, I hope someone can answer.
1/Can I just flash random roms on top of each other, like i did from cm6 - cm7?
2/ Can I always restore backups, nomatter what rom I come from or to?
3/ when/if official GB come out, can I flash a stock rom and get the OTA update right away?
Sorry, if I ask silly questions ..
Built in trackball colors, call blocker, hide frequently called list in the favorites tab, remove unnecessary apps, tmobile wifi calling, notification bar power toggles, trackball wake and unlock, quiet hours, themes, etc., etc., etc. Just off the top of my head. Oh, and Gingerbread!!!

Unlocking the Bootloader wipes data, rooting does not. This is probably what you read.

1/Can I just flash random roms on top of each other, like i did from cm6 - cm7? Yes you can. Often if the ROM is the next version in a series, you can flash without wiping data or cache, but some ROMs require you to do this first.
2/ Can I always restore backups, nomatter what rom I come from or to? A Nandroid backup can be reinstalled from any ROM, or even just from Recovery if there is no ROM.
3/ when/if official GB come out, can I flash a stock rom and get the OTA update right away? Yes. Either restore your stock ROM Nandroid backup or a passimg.zip.

1. As a rule, if you are going from 1 ROM to another totally different ROM, it's always a good idea to wipe. It only takes a few seconds to sign back in to everything. You can bypass immediate sign in and activate wifi if you need it.
2. Nandroids can be reinstalled anytime. However, a nandroid does not contain your HBOOT and Radio. So if you updated those to use a specific ROM, they would stay in place with the nandroid restore.
3. When GB does finally make it out to our specific device, there is no way you would get an OTA before the ROM devs here had you up and running.
***Also note, the 1-click root tools may or may not work right away with the OTA 2.3. So to anyone that rooted using those tools and unrooted to hurry up and get an OTA, you may be stuck on stock until it gets fixed.

I agree, do a full wipe if it's a new ROM. Titanium Backup is a great way to get all of your apps and data back after installing the new ROM.

So what do you lose (if anything) when flashing a new ROM if you backup and do things the right way?
Another question would be if you just flash a new kernal do you lose any/all data?

I've rooted before, and lost root when ota's came. I've rooted again using superoneclick, and am contemplating cm7. But I feel very cautious about flashing a different rom, I'd cry if I bricked my phone. However, I'm probably going to do it during the next week (unless gingerbread ota arrives).

First install of cm7 i always do wipe data but after that i dont and i havent had one problem yet and ive been doing nightlies since #4. So just because ur having probs no reason to call it garbage! Plus with all the work they put into i wouldnt appreciate someone calling all my hard work trash!
questions:::
are u part of swype beta? if ur not it wont work!
"Titanium backup, restore missing apps with data, ALWAYS GET PROBLEMS PARSING PACKAGE"---- THEY TOLD u not to restore apps with data as it may mess with things on this.
have u gone into sgs tools and clicked on market fix to fix any fcs on market like ur gameloft?
Do u click all three when they ask u if u want do wipe data and wipe dalvik and backup rom? on ur first cm 7 install u should click on all 3 to be safe of all probs.

do you have the newest installer (they auto update now, but that is a relatively new feature).

I was under the impression that you are supposed to restore apps WITHOUT data via titanium. I could be wrong but that is what I have done, and I have had no trouble with my apps.
wipe/format boot, system, data, cache. Install the rom, wipe dalvik, factory reset then turn on your phone, let the phone set for 5 minutes then reboot into recovery (NOT THROUGH ADB). Then install Gapps and let the phone settle and then you should be good. When install things via tit-b do not restore system apps. For some applications if you are getting f/c's uninstall them, fix perms on the rom via Rom Manager then reboot. After restore the apps getting f/cs but only the app not the data (tough loss). You should be good.

Then don't use it. Jesus Christ.
I had many of the same issues you are having. Finally said "screw it" and went back to a 2.2.1 ROM and I'm feeling happy bout it. I miss the gtalk FFC integration, but otherwise not missing CM7. Frankly I've had issues with CM7 on my G1, my Hero and now the Vibrant. It's just never been reliable.
But that doesn't mean you need to start a *****-fest thread about it. Cmon now.....

If the apps were backed up under 2.2 and you are restoring them to 2.3 then that is your problem. Don't ask me why but I had to download all my apps again because none of the backups I made under 2.2 would work under 2.3. Try downloading the apps from the market instead of using Titanium. Keep in mind this ROM is still in the very early stages but other than GPS and the call mute/unmute thingy it runs flawless for me so I am inclined to believe you may be doing something wrong and I suspect Titanium might be to blame.
Thread should be called - USER ERROR leads to garbage
I have been using CM7 for a while now and haven't experienced any of the noob issues you have mentioned. I'm not calling you a noob because of your lack of execution. I'm calling you a noob because you pulled a noob move and basically said that a rom that is marked experimental, is causing you grief and furthermore it sucks. CM7 happens to be a fast and an extremely stable rom if you know what you're doing. It sounds to me like you aren't using TB the right way or something. It's guys like you that make what few devs we have left want to leave.
The first time I tried cm7 I fell in love!!! I had never look back at any other rom. I still don't understand why people are still making and porting 221 roms when cm7 is almost perfect and
Honeycomb!!! Is out already. I just don't get it.
When there is SO much #Fail in a thread, XDA cries.
Wow you have to be joking, you have errors caused by your stupidity, and you have the audacity to call cm7 garbage? If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't even be here on Gingerbread. Don't be an idiot, think before you post.
a g1 runs 2.1 really crappy concidering it is using a modified nexus kernel, unless there is source for the phone for the version you are on it will never be 100 percent perfect

there's still no excuse. i get pissy too but you dont see my ass coming on the boards and bashing. keep that crap to yourself cause no one on here wants to hear it. your issues are simple enough. either you didnt wipe your device while installing or you did something that only a n00b would do.
i have problems too but known problems such as GPS. you dont hear me whining about it like a little *****.
CM7 rocks!!
I found that build #20 messed up all of my user data/apps and had to start fresh (ODIN, etc). Of course a Nandroid back-up would have probably solved my app issues so next time try backing up before attempting anything crazy . Even TB didn't work when trying to reinstall (there was an update to TB that may have solved my problems I never tried it). Learning everyday about my phone and loving CM7 every step of the way! Good luck.
By the way I too am a SWYPE beta user; just had to re-initialize the installer with their emails and I was good to go.
