I flashed to the latest Overcome Kernel + Rom (2.1.2 and 1.4.2 respectively), after running fine on 1.4.0 for several days. I choose not to backup my apps as I don't have many and I wanted a clean start.
However, after doing wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, then davik wipe (not sure of the spelling), then proceeding to install the 1.4.0 ROM then 1.4.2 update, my apps were still on my Tab when I rebooted.
Why is this?
Now I am getting errors with every app.
"The application xxx (process com. ) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
I have tried to factory reset and reinstall the ROM multiple times, but it doesn't seem to help. How can I get rid of everything and start from scratch with this ROM?

I had the exact same issue with my T-Mobile US Tab, and it wound up needing repair from Samsung. I sent it in, and they replaced a component on the board. When I got it back, it was back to the factory fresh load which is what I expected when I tried to wipe it to begin with. The process took almost 3 weeks, which includes the free *ground* shipping to and from the Samsung repair center in Plano, TX. Awesome.

Hi i'm currently running MIUI 1.6.1 and i just finally got it completely setup exactly how i want it, took me like hours upon hours a day for a week getting all my apps and contacts and data set up along with themeing etc etc
I want to upgrade to the newer one that just came out today the 1.6.17 -- Do i have to do a FULL Factory reset/delvik cache and/ cache wipe?
or can i just wipe the delvik and cache and then flash overtop without losing everything?
Basically i dont want to have to go back in and re-fix my Sprint VVM and re-add Swype again as both those took me like 50 installs a piece to get working, along with like 50 apps i downloaded, and all my contacts, etc, etc do i have to do a full wipe and start from scratch again, or can i just flash and upgrade and keep all my stuff without doing a full factory reset and also without having a ton of errors and force closes?

Doesn't Titanium Backup or Mybackup Pro work with MIUI?

First backup using MIUI's built in backup. It had two parts: system and stuff, and apps. Back up all the apps. Then backup wifi and desktop at the very least. I don't backup contacts because then I get duplicates.
Reboot into recovery
Nand backup
Wipe just cache and dalvik cache.
Flash the update
Reboot.
Usually this is fine. But if you get fc's then you probably need to wipe clean everything and then restore via backup.
It's not.that bad. I've never had any problems re-installing swype and/or sprint voicemail. The only thing I usually have to redo is the theme.

I have been running MIUI for a couple of months now. Whenever I flash a new release (an update, in my situation) I just wipe cache & dalvik then flash. Once the rom has fully booted and settled, I'll reboot. I let it fully boot, then reboot into recovery (Amon 2.3) and "fix apk uid mismatches", then wipe cache and dalvik again, flash Tiamat since they started including the CM kernel instead, then reboot and I'm good to go. My theme sticks throughout and I haven't run into any problems doing it this way, other than broken themes from constant ui changes... which thankfully finally slowed down. Sometimes I'll skip on fixing permissions, it's more of a ritual than necessary.
Last week I decided it was probably time for a full wipe so I did. Between the MIUI Backup app & Titanium Backup Pro, setting back up took roughly 15-30 minutes (including flashing the rom and kernel). Just nandroid first to be safe, but I've always treated it as an update.

So, I decided to do a full wipe (minus sd) and re-install a fresh copy of CM7 7.1.0 on my Nex S. Anyways, I went into CWM, did cache wipe, factory wipe, and dalvik, wiped /data manually for good measure, and went thru installing the ROM, then my custom kernel (TEUV morfic), and then the latest gapps.
Upon boot, I notice the following things:
1. The welcome screen never comes up! It just goes to the desktop/home screen.
2. The market is gone! I've never had this happen, but it's just not there anymore
3. I can't add Google accounts like I normally do. It only allows me to add Exchange accounts.
What am I missing here?!? This is driving me nuts. I've tried reinstalling, rewiping, reflashing, re-EVERYTHING to no avail. I don't understand WTF is up with this.
You forgot to flash the latest gapps.

Note. You may have flashed the one that is labeled new-talk at the end. This is not the full gapps. You flash that file alongside the gapps with the same date.

So, my Acer is rooted and I've been running the Virtuous Galaxy 1.0.5 ROM for awhile with no issues. I decided to purchase the Titanium Backup Pro app to make a backup of my phone and tablet to Dropbox. They both backed up fine. Then all of a sudden my tablet just froze. When I reboot it just goes to the Acer screen.
I have tried a reset with the pinhole, and then going into CWM and wiping data, cache and dalvik cache. When I try to load new ROMs or even the one I was running, it just hangs. Sometimes I'll get a random offset and then it will hang, and other times I get a message like: "E:\error in /sdcard/update.zip" Installation aborted.
Any ideas? I believe stock for my tablet was Android 3.1 Kernel 2.6.36.3 Build Acer_A500_4.010.13_com_gen2.
Also, when I wipe Dalvik cache I get the message "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]" If I continue and say yes, it does say that the cache has been wiped.
All help is appreciated.
Acer Iconia A500 keeps force closing when booted (the home screen wont even load , its just black with that force close pop up) and when i try to factory data reset it gets some error saying something about gameloaf.com or something when i try to reset data from CWM. I was currently running Thor latest from for A500 what I must do to solve this issue ?
Wipe system, apps, cache, dalvik-cache, and then flash a stock rooted ROM using CWM.

Yep, that'll do it.
But, considering they may install the same rom again, they may get by with just Cache and Dalvik, while saving user data.
At least I'd go that route first, and if it doesn't fix it, then nuke it all.
Started with OMNI shown on galaxynote2root.com. Was working nearly flawlessly until today when I lost my mobile network (all services: phone, text, data - antenna was essentially gone). Not clear on exactly what I did when it occurred but I did flash 1/13/14 nightly manually via CWM (have done this with the previous nightly's without any problems). Tried wiping cache/data, Dalvik w/o luck. Tried formatting my internal SD also w/o luck. Doing a fresh install (as opposed to restore) did restore all mobile network services but of course I am now having to re-setup my phone. After installing fresh install, tried restoring w/o any wipe - again no luck.
Quite frustrating. I had read something out there that talked about remapping the tree (not sure what this means). In any case, is there a fix for this so I can restore my prior backups with mobile services working and also avoid this the future?
So here we go again; no service after wipe. Grrrrrrrr!!

So here we go again. Went to load the stock Sprint TouchWiz ROM. Wiped cache partition, wiped Dalvik, and did stand wipe cache/data. Had some issue with the stock ROM flashing so I went ahead and loaded my backup I just made of my newly setup OMNI ROM. And once again no network service what so ever. I really enjoy this ROM but it's thinks like this that push me back to the most supported ROM for my phone, the TouchWiz ROM. It's like I'm being held hostage to this Omni ROM in the sense that it appears that should I want do any wipe of any sorts or anything to that effect I'm essentially screwed and might as well just flash the the original ROM all over again.
There's got to be one of you Dev's out there that knows why this is happened and can let me know if there is a fix for this that will allow me to keep my setup as is. Someone who's knows, please response. If you need more info, please ask. I'm about to ditch this ROM over this issue. Otherwise, nearly flawless use of the ROM until this point.
Okay, so I was able to find a fix for this problem. After the complete wipe as described in my second post, I restored my recent backup. As mentioned above, no mobile service whatsoever at that pont. I then restarted back into CWM recovery and flashed the same version nightly as that of my backup and it appeared to do an update. I was then able to boot back into my restored backup with everything intact and all mobile services working.
Yes, I found a fix for myself but Devs why the heck do I have to go through that? Why cannot I not simply restore my backup and go on with life? Much headache over the past day or so over this.
So I installed the the 1/13/14 nightly as a fresh install. I stared messing around with advanced restore. When I restore only the /system folder that is when I lose all mobile cell services.
