if i were you, i would try the cm6 fix. the instructions for this fix or workaround or whatever you want to call it have been posted numerous times in this thread.
thanks for the reply. i did the cm6 install and then loaded nightly 23. GPS was working. worked great but had to download and install all these apps that weren't backed up properly fom titanium and just had to redo the whole phone, contacts, everything. pain in the butt. then i learned that once on a nightly, all you do is wipe cache, diviak and bam....load new nightly. so i went from 23 now onto the new CM7 RC1 without redoing any apps and contacts and what not. awesome. so zervic, your telling me if i do the cm6 fix, i have to do factory reset and do the whole thing over again as in restoring everything? or can i just wipe cache and divack, and install cm6?

incorrect. you do not have to factory reset. the reason for this is because, you take a nandroid backup of your cm7 before you wipe your data, after the install of cm6 you'll be restoring that back up, settings, apps, etc included. I would search to find the exact steps for this "cm6 fix" though...but yea, do not worry about your apps and all that, they will be backed up. also. factory reset from clockwork, not from within the phone (i.e. in the ROM). if you do that, it wipes your SIM too..

Make sure when you flashed from the stock rom, you wiped data, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik cache. If not, do it and reinstall.
I didn't do that because I was afraid to loose apps that I already had and didn't know how to recover stuff once the flash is done.
try MyBackup Root
i'm about to find out how well it preforms after wiping and installing a new rom. i'll let you know.
so i went from liberated froyo fr008 to cm6-6.1.1 and it appears to have restored all my apps + data + settings as best it could considering its a little different from the sense system.
apps work, settings work. the app worked =D
I would like to have a clean install(see no ATT bloat) but not have to go through and configure everything. What's gonna be the most stable Rom?

Based on your original post, since you are rooted and running FR008, then you already have a very stable ROM with HTC Sense and does not have any AT&T bloat on it.
It looks like the mistake you made as far as stability goes is that you did not perform a Wipe Data/Factory Reset before you flashed FR008 in hopes of keeping your apps and settings. I suggest you bit the bullet and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then reinstall your apps and you'll have a very STABLE environment.
Lemme ask this, right after rooting and running nandroid, I pulled the the sd card and copied its entire contents(at east as much as Win would "see", not sure about any additional partitions) to my lappy.
If I do a clean install by wiping all factory data, cache partition and dalvik, will I be able to restore any items from that copy I made?
Please forgive me for teh newb questions. I can fix a puter all day long, this android stuff is greek to me.

If you did a nandroid backup to your SD card, yes nandroid has an advanced restore option where you can selectively restore different partitions from the backup, such as boot, system, data, cache, etc. although I have never tried it.
Rooted last night with the Liberated FR008 rom and everything seemed to go smoothly, now though my browsers won't stay open. If I try to go from a link in an email the browser will open then close, pretty much same thing when I just open the browser. Any ideas why this is happening?

Hello guys.
I would really appreciate an answer to a question I have.
I installed leedroid 3.0.2 and I have the same apps and settings as before.
I think I haven't done a good wipe..
I rebooted to recovery from cwm and used the wipe before I installed the new Rom. (i was using the revolution 3.5 before)
After I installed the new Rom, when I booted on, all apps and settings were there.
Shouldn't the wipe thing clean everything and leave the phone "empty"?
Or, (most obvious) did I do something wrong and should do it again? Cause there is a little thing with the market that closes the process when I click on new released apps.
Thank you in advance guys.
Cheers !!!

Are you wiping data and cache in recovery?
"wipe data/factory reset"
It will then say:
Code:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Then:
"wipe cache partition"
It will say:
Code:
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete
(second option is overkill)
Have you still got the setting to backup to Google servers ticked? Or any other app that you have backed things up with?
Whilst the last option wouldn't be instant (they would download again and take a good 5 minutes to appear).
And yes, you will probably experience issues if this is due to a missed wipe.
So, I will need to do a factory reset first, then do a cache wipe and then install the Rom?
(i don't remember doing all these for the revo Rom..)
Do I need to do these without rebooting the phone until everything is done?
Cheers !!!

Yes, you should always do the "wipe data/factory reset" before installing any new ROMs or if the dev has advised it, also between major update revisions.
You don't need to reboot. If using recovery to install the ROM just do the wipes then flash the ROM using menu.
Awesome. Thanks for the help.
Will try it now and I hope everything goes well. Hope I won't get stuck since am not in front of my pc.

Well, I did it again. Everything wiped out, started as new.
But still, new apps in market and battery history in spare parts give me a process termination...
Oh well, I guess that Lee will release an update.
Oh, something else I would like to ask. There is a new kernel for the Rom. Do I flash it the same way I flash everything? Through recovery?
Thanks again guys
Cheers !!!

I use Leedroid and don't have this problem. Today I have installed from scratch and gone back and forth between ROM's. i turned off all the processes that backup and restore apps and I get a blank fresh install.
I have to ask, the last time you installed Leedroid, did you use the downloaded one or a copy from your sdcard? is it possible you are restoring a copy rather than flashing a fresh copy?
And you don't have any apps that have backed up your apps such as Titanium? And you have turned off Google Backup and restore feature?
The thing is, it is handy not to lose data but we need to make sure your wipe is being done. Did you see the same messages in Recovery as I showed above?
gosh, it is sooooooooooooo weird...
i did it all again. factory reset, delete cache, installed the 3.0.3 version (which was released today).
everything seemed to go smooth. still, i went to market and clicking on the newly released apps list i get an error which is "com.android.vewnding" has been shut blah blah blah. and the same happens to spare parts. when i click battery history ""com.android.spare_parts" shuts down.
do you guys think it has to do with the kernel? should i flash lee's kernel (i couldn't find how to. i mean, shall i do it from the cwm recovery?)
i guess that the radio has nothing to do with all these, does it?...
thank you guys once again for your help
Cheers !!!

You have tried fix permissions in ROM Manager, yes?
eeeeeeeeeerm.... you got me. that is something i totally forgot to do :-(((
gosh.. i flashed the radio, sweet. tried to flash a kernel using jkoljo's tool and it stayed on the white screen (and of course cold sweat was all over the place )
but i flashed the rom again after clearing cache and the likes and (thank god) i'm in.
but the most weird thing is that, after all these, the kernel is flashed :-S
i checked in the phone info and the kernel is there..
anyway, am gonna do the fix permissions thingy and reflash once more. if it stays the same way, i'll have to live with it. it's late here in greece.
thanks again for your help guys, i really appreciate it )))
Cheers !!!
i did it all again but nothing happened.
did the permissions, rebooted to recovery, factory reset, cache wipe, install new rom and nothing.
i have to tell you guys though.. the problem with the market started when i was on the revolution rom. and it started just like that. one day everything was fine, next, bam. it didn't budge.
do you think there might be something wrong with the phone itself? (probably not and i'm paranoid)
other than that, everything works nice.
oh, and some other thing. there is this "full wipe 1.3" zip i had put in my SD card but never really used it.
should i use it this time?
this app should clean everything in the cache but not my files, right?
Cheers !!!
YouTube clip of how to manually full wipe everything.

I did the wipe as shown in the video. The problem remains the same. New market apps list gives an error followed by a restart of it and spare parts battery history does the same (without the restart though)
I don't know, I'm thinking of trying a different Rom even though I like the one Lee released.
(could all this mean that I have a problem with the phone?.......)
Anyway, thank you guys for spending time helping me.
Cheers !!!
So yesterday I decided I was going to play around with the different roms like I do my phone w/ my tablet.. Bad idea. The same usual steps to backing up and restoring are supposed to be the same. maybe not so much.
I decided to try out the new Revolution theme by thor, so i made a backup of where i was at before the wipe and subsequent install. Install went on without any issue, I played with it for a while, decided I wanted to go back to my latest backup. Performed the restore and went to bed.
When I went back to the tablet it had successfully rebooted with all my prior settings in place. Except one thing. Superuser wont work, and I cant download the updater fix in the market. So my rooted device is now unrooted with Taboony 2.1b rom. None of the apps we are all accustomed to using will work without superuser working.
Has anyone experienced this, is there a fix I just havent seen? I have searched and searched and searched. Well versed in google

I just finished getting my tab back in shape after much the same thing. What worked for me was to get into cwm, then clear cache and delvic cache. Re-installed the rom (ezterry's rooted stock in my case) and I am good to go. I did not clear data. Hope that this helps.

With reflash of rom you will have root again, but do a full backup of your rom using cwm and then restore your backup and you will once again be left without root.
The fix I got was, i got into cwm and flashed the new mix rom and viola, everything works as it should lol

There have been issues with SU in Taboonay. Happens after a backup / restore. I had the same thing.
For a more complete solution check the thread on Taboonay / DEV in the forum, but the short answerthat worked for me with Taboonay is : uninstall SetCPU, Reflash 2.1, reboot, reflash 2.1b. this worked for me...
Good luck!

I was running cm7 since it was first released. I got a new phone so i decided to give my atrix to my younger brother. The problem is after i went through the process of putting the phone back to stock, there now seems to be dead zones on the phone. For example i cannot press the w,e,s, keys. Can anyone help me or tell me if i've done something wrong?
I'm not sure you did anything wrong specifically. Did you make sure the clear all the cache? How did you put stock back on it (IE. flashed stock via CWM, moto fastboot, etc)?.
Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache, system cache, reflash your firmware of choice, reboot.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Ive had numerous problems with cm7 for atrix but ive found that backup everything you need with titanium backup and then just reflash the rom and wipe the data and davlik cache and it should. But yh there are lots of issues with the cm7 rom for atrix but its still in beta so dont worry too much it will be ok when there are more updates

The CM7 beta does not have the issues that the OP described so please don't let him think that's the reason.
OP, re-flash your phone with a different ROM or with CM7 again and see if it still persists.
Hi all... tonight I decided to try the Samurai kernel. Unfortunately, it boot-looped on me. No big deal I figured, I did a full nandroid before in ACS's CWM, so I'll just restore. Unortunately, doing so isn't working: all of my apps, data and settings are gone! It basically looks stock (although, interestingly, all the Sprint bloat I had manually removed before still seems to be gone, so the restore worked to a degree)... I've restored backups before and never had a problem so I'm guessing the kernel is somehow the culprit, but I think that got restored from the backup too so I don't know what's going on. I'm stock EI22 by the way.
Can anyone help me? I'm pretty frustrated at the moment.
Thanks,
Frank
Try restoring an older backup. If that works you can attempt an advanced restore data only from your recent backup to see if it was something in your setup.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
That was a thought I had too... I tried TWO older backups that I still had, same problem. I also tried a factory reset and then a restore (in theory it shouldn't make any difference to factory wipe first, and sure enough it didn't, but figured it was worth a shot).
My only other thought is maybe if I odin back to stock, root & install recovery and then try the restore again... kind of a shot in the dark, really shouldn't matter, but maybe.
Did you clear cache and dalvik before flashing the new kernel? I wonder if ACS is the issue and if trying CWM 5 might help.

I was thinking the same thing D. The only other thing I can think of is bad reads from the sd card.
