I have a problem, I am running FR007 and I can't get Clockwork to make a working backup. If I try to restore from the backup it gives MD5 error. I also tried using Rom Manager and it gives me the android with the triangle error. What do I need to do to get a working backup.
Try titanium backup or Astro File Manager.

Out of curiosity, when you turn off your phone or, restart it, whatever it is that you do to get into clockwork...do you have your phone plugged in with the usb cable?
Yeah I get into clockwork and do a android backup but if I try to restore I get an,error. MD5 something. Titanium and astrology don't do android do they.

lol @ astrology. damn auto correct lol. anyway, you didn't pay attention to my question. do you have your phone hooked up to usb when you are rebooting to go into clockwork?
Yeah auto correct gets me alot. And no I don't have anything hooked to the phone when I try to backup.

No. It won't sync with HTC sync either if that helps.

She's going to need to manually download a new ROM and flash it from Clockworkmod. Holy run-on sentence btw.
That's the problem though her laptop is getting worked we tried advanced restore and everything but it gets stuck on boot

She could always pop her SD card into another phone, use that phone to download the ROM, and then move it back. Or, she could borrow and friends computer or go to a library. Either way.....

If you have a nandroid backup, just restore it. If you were rooted when you backed up, you will be rooted again.
Factory reset - power up while holding Volume Down, then press Vol-Up and Vol-Down together when you see the little Android icon. This is stock recovery. Then select Wipe Data and cache. Yes you will lose all your data and apps.

You probably can't get into CWM recovery now (you are not rooted at the moment). When you see exclamation mark just press vol - and + simultaneously. Then you will get into stock recovery. Just wipe data from here (factory reset) and try again with rooting.
i google for the issue i am getting /data/local/tmp/boomsh file not found. i could see many cases where people have reported the problem. can anyone say if there is any solution for this or only factory reset is the only option. if i do factory reset will i be able to be back on track. i dont want to lose my datas

Only one note: as far as you have TB of your apps + data, you will be able to get them back after successful root.
If you need your sms messages, then backup them with any SMS backup app from GooglePlay
If you have your contacts synced with google account, they will be back after new sync.
It will take some time but most important data will be safe to restore.
And for next time: make a nandroid backup before any bigger changes in the system - then you will be able to get back quite fast with all system settings.
When resetting the system do not erase your SD card.
So sorry for bad news but probably resetting the system is now probably best step to do. If it doesn't work next step would be flashing of full sbf.

Then you loose nothing.
- Wipe data/factory reset
- try to root
- if successfull install 2nd init and restore from nandroid backup (all) - then you shall have a phone in a state that you had before
- if not successful, then give me your current kernel (settings>about phone) and I'll try to show you which sbf from a list I send in message should be the best. Then you will root it, install 2ndinit, restore nandroid backup or flash any CMxxx and restore from your TB backup.

Maybe some other forums have the file, just try any other BL6, with numbers 4.5.1-134_DFP from 125 up to 161.
Just try and give feedback.
So I was playing Family Fued last night on my phone and pressed the home button. After doing so, my phone screen turned black and became unresponsive so I held the power button and rebooted. Upon booting the phone got stuck on the boot animation.
So I tried dirty flashing my ROM, gapps, and kernel. The phone booted then got stuck on the Starting Apps toast with a continuous progress wheel. I tried a combination of wiping caches and dirty flashing to no avail. I was running francos kernel with -75 UV, but flashed a kernel without UV to be sure. I'm still unable to get past the starting apps toast when I restore to the backup I made.
I just want to get it to boot so I can retrieve some important text messages. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you're getting as far as the starting apps dialog, you should be able to get a logcat of the boot process, which will go a long way in diagnosing the problem, and if it is recoverable.
I'm thinking either a framework file got corrupted, or even more likely, your data partition is corrupted and upon bootup, dalvik can't write to /data/dalvik-cache while attempting to "optimize" apps, and it therefore hangs.
This is all just conjecture of course, and I could be completely wrong, but a log will surely help.

You need to stream the output of logcat via (assuming windows) your command prompt console using adb:
adb logcat > log.txt
Then upload the log.txt file for review. That's the best place to start and see what it says.

That defeats the purpose of trying to recover my text messages. It boots fine from other back ups and fresh installs but not from the particular backup I started a thread about.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Titanium backup pro allows you to restore text message from android backups.
Not sure if the free version does it but I did find two other apps that are free that you can try.
1)app extractor (found on google play)
2) nand manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35367320#post35367320
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Titanium or any other app, at this point, won't do any good at this point since the phone won't boot up all the way
The logs definitely show things look pretty FUBAR'ed. Though not optimistic, the first thing I'd try is to reboot to recovery and click 'fix permissions' via the 'Advanced' tab (assuming TWRP), and see if that does anything.
If that doesn't help any, and you don't care about trying to continue down the path of getting the ROM to boot, and all you do care about (mostly) is saving your text messages, assuming they are still there, what I would do is, from recovery, adb pull the data folder where the mms/sms/call log database is stored, do a full wipe, install a fresh rom, and then after first boot, reboot back to recovery and restore the data you pulled (this is all titanium is doing anyway).
You could even make a nandroid of your current bad setup if the above didn't work for some reason.
To get the current data for mms/sms/calls, first, reboot to recovery:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Via your command prompt, make a directory in the same folder from where you are running adb, and then change into it, as follows:
Code:
mkdir com.android.providers.telephony
cd com.android.providers.telephony
Then, while still in recovery mode, pull your data:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony .
After you've successfully pulled your data, wipe the phone completely, install your new ROM, gapps, etc, and let it boot up completely, then reboot back to recovery again. Once back up in recovery, push the data back to the phone.
(make sure you are still inside the 'com.android.providers.telephony' directory you created via your command prompt)
Code:
adb push . /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony
That should restore you previous database, cache, etc.
Reboot the phone and cross your fingers
That's what I was essentially suggesting, but I didn't know how to manually do it.
From his current ROM that works he could use tb or the other two apps to restore just his SMS from his nandroid backup

Problem is, he doesn't have a current ROM that works.
But, he could first wipe and install a fresh ROM all together, and then install Titanium, and use it to restore the above referenced data from a Nandroid.
Though, he'd FIRST have to/want to Nandroid the current bad ROM in order to make sure the nandroid has the most current data, else any new text messages would be lost since the previous nanadroid.
After doing all of that, it'd be much simpler/quicker to just follow the instructions provided above
All of this, of course, is based on bailing on the current ROM, but for the sake of challenge, I'd love to try and get it going as well, based on making changes and following the impact via logcat.
Well I feel dumb. I mixed up a couple threads that were talking about the same thing. Only in the other they did have a nandroid.
I should not be responding when I'm half asleep.
Edit - maybe I didn't mix up but its now I've only been up maybe for a bit. Had to drive brother to school. But reread his op and this caught my eye " I'm still unable to get past the starting apps toast when I restore to the backup I made."
So he does have a current nandroid of the bad ROM?

Last I read, you never got past the starting apps dialog, so all of my instructions are based on the fact that that's where you're at.
If you've already make a nandroid of the bad version and are up and running on a new ROM, this process changes.
In this case, what I would do is pull the the data partition nandroid file (in your TWRP/BACKUPS folder), "data.ext4.win", off of your sdcard, add the ".tar" extension (this is all these files are):
data.ext4.win.tar
Then open the above file with WinRAR, navigate to the same /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/ folder referenced in my previous instructions and pull the content out of the .tar.
Then, go into recovery and use adb to push the contents of the "/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony" that you extracted from the .tar file and push back to your phone.
Or, if you use titanium, as mentioned above, you could try and extract it right out of the nandroid file directly while the new ROM is running.
I installed the HORSEMAGEDDON ROM and it worked - for the most part. But it kept giving me annoying errors about different apps that were attempting to update every time I turned it on. So I tried to restore my backup that I had made with CWM 6.0.2.8. However the backup apparently did not restore properly because it now boot loops back into CWM any time I try to start it. I get the errors:
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON but it still loops back into the CWM recovery screen.
I have wiped everything according to the instructions on the HORSEMAGEDDON thread.
HELP!! This happened to me on another U8800-51 phone and I wound up hard bricking it trying to get back to stock.
Anybody???
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Okay. Here is what I did step by step:
1. I was on Stock 2.2.2 Froyo and flashed HORSEMAGEDDON successfully. But I had some errors related to updates since it was such an old ROM the updates were all for much newer versions of the apps tied to 4.x.x.
2. I attempted to restore my backup made with CWM 6 to return to the stock. It said it completed successfully but when I rebooted it just looped into the recovery screen with the error messages posted in my first post.
3. So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON and it said it completed successfully. But it still bootloops into recovery.
4. I can access most of the features of the recovery. I can access the pink screen and swap recovery versions. I can access my SD card from my PC when I mount it from recovery.
5. Yes, I did do full wipes with each attempt to reflash.
The ROM was not the problem. It worked and worked well other than update issues for apps. It was only after attempting to restore to stock I ran into issues.
The problem appears to be something was corrupted when I tried to restore my backup, even though it said it completed successfully.
So if I try to flash yet another custom ROM, even if I could find one I trust given all of the version issues etc., I don't think it would act any differently. But if somebody can recommend one I am all ears. Keep in mind I have a -51 phone so it will have to be for that or the PRO.
Given that, how can I get back to stock? Am I the only person who has ever had this problem? I don't believe that is the case, so somebody must know how to fix it or can point me to a procedure to repair the internal memory.

None of the fixes on this link seem to apply to my situation.
When I said "bootloop" I may have misused the term. What happens is I power up, it goes to logo screen for about 10 seconds, shuts down and restarts to logo screen then goes into recovery after about 5 seconds. From other info that I have found it is due to a corrupt bootloader and I need to reflash the bootloader. Problem is, reflashing the bootloader i.e. CWM, does no good at all.
I am also hampered by lack of info specific to the -51 model. And I cannot find a copy of the stock ROM anywhere that is for the -51.
So essentially I am screwed. All of that said, I have found a new phone for $40.00 so all is not lost. It's a U8800 but not the -51 or PRO. I don't plan on customizing it, I'll just stick with stock. After trashing two phones even after following the advice to "BACKUP" I think enough is enough. Backing up did me no good whatsoever in both cases.
In my estimation, the culprit is CWM, or at least the versions I used.
If anybody has any advice I'm all ears.
