[Q] Can't Delete Stock Apps with Titanium Backup

Before I flashed my DZ with Pauls Custom ROM with Sense I could delete the stock apps using Titanium Backup and the exploit. Now when I attempt to do this it reboots and shows the android with a red exclamation mark and I have to remove the battery to reboot the phone and the app I tried deleting is still there. Am I doing something wrong or does flashing the ROM mean I can't delete the apps I don't want now?

Should still work fine regardless of ROM. Any specific app giving you greif? ....have you tried removing then re-installing Titanium?... worth a try.

i also experienced this. tried to delete the amazon mp3 app and it came back after restart.
what exactly do we have to delete where?

Tried to remove and reinstall titanium backup but made no difference. Happens with any of the pre-loaded apps. Think its because of the clockwork mod ?

Nandroid advanced restore

If I do an advanced nandroid restore, which option will restore text messages? Somehow, my TiBackup isn't restoring messages.

I think it would be user data try that out and se where it gets you but itwill restore all apps you had too and it could make you have tons of force closes if the rom your running doesn't like somethin

Haha when i read this i thought to myself "yeah thats not it, ive surely reboted a few times just in the process of having a new rom flashed and trying things out, but ill try anyway. "
And of course, that fixed it. Reboot did it. My girl says thanks, she now has the first text i ever sent her back on her phone. Awwwwww

Nandroid restore problem...md5?

I'm having a problem with nandroid restore where it gives me a md5 mismatch. I never renamed a file or anything. If I cant do nandroid restore then I don't feel safe flashing rc1. I see there is a md5 fix in these forums but don't want do it unless I know it will work with aria. Can somebody lead me the way please and help a buddy out. Thanks you guys are the best.

Is it an old (i.e. done a while ago) back up? Take a new back up then try to restore it right away...see if it gives you the same error. Make sure, when you are booting into clockwork, that you don't have USB plugged in.

also make sure you are not connected to your charger when doing it, i had the same problem but when i took it off the charger it worked fine. see if that works for you.

ok same problem....
i did a recent back up (without phone being plugged into computer) and couldn't restore it. it gives me md5 mismatch. any takes at this mount!! nandroid is broken!!!!

So I think its my new eBay 32gb I got. Cause I put back the og 2gb and deleted abunch of crap, like pics and stuff that were already backed up. And backed up and finally restored.....yay. no md5 mismatch. But it did say something like there's no sd-ext skipping?

no sd ext just means you didn't partition your sd card, so don't worry about that.

This. ROM Manager is useless and its CWM versions will hose your phone. Do not use either.

Chances are that when you backed up with Rom manager it did not actually do a backup. On a phone where Rom manager does work the backup function in Rom manager just reboots your phone into clockwork and starts the backup automatically for you. Since Rom manager does not work with the epic, I'm assuming this did not happen.

The alternative is that one you have clockwork installed, power down the phone. Then hold volume down, camera button, and power button all at the same time. It d should boot into clockwork. Make and restore your backups from there.

MD5 file error. give me some help?

ive been rooted for quite some time, and never have had trouble with pulling backups form clockwork recovery. last night i made a backup of my CM7.0.3 that i was using for a while to try out virtuous unity. today on my lunch break at work i attempted to load the backup and i was getting that error message.
i did a "superwipe for g2" right before i tried to recover.
then i attempted to recover my stock rom i have had for months an i got the same error message. any ideas? the only thing i could think of is a few days ago i cleared out a HUGE cache in my clockwork from my SD to clear up my card. could that be it? any help would be appreciated.

bump.
someone please give me some help! i would really appreciate it.
i attempted this

but go no response and still had a md5 mismatch.

Had that issue before... The back up process didn't go right unfortunately. I would recommend you to download another Rom and transfer it to your SD card.

what do you mean by that?

Well it rarely happens. I remember when I got the same error and told somebody in XDA they told me that during the back up process clockwork didn't back it up correctly which leads you not being able to restore your back up. Had virtuous 2.2 back then, good thing was I had 2 back ups just in case so I was able to restore a later version of my back up.

Did you by any chance change the name of the folder of the backup? I once 'annotated' the default date-time format that Clockworkmod uses with something more meaningful to me, but found that it breaks the MD5 check.
I'm just asking on the off-chance because changing the folder name back to what it was when the backup was made will fix it, if that's the case.
Good luck.

Yeah I did, but I hadn't had any problems with renaming it with it before. I attempted to change it back to a default name and that didn't work. Is there anyway to try and recover my backup, or just my data?

I also had this problem before when switching between cyanogen and a Sense ROM. The way I fixed it was I downloaded, wiped and installed a fresh new cyanogen ROM. After it was installed I was able to restore my old backup from CWM.

ill have to give that a try. thankyou sir.
