Hey
After I read that the battery life could be improved by factoryreset-ing the sg2, i resetted it in recoverymode.
And now it stuck on the boot Logo, displaying the big animated endless looping
S
Samsung
GALAXY S II
.. and then i tryd to flash a new firmware, litening rom and I thought it would fix the problem, but no, it didnt.
I use the kernel from chainfire with Clockworkmod v3.0.0.5 + the other good stuff.
what can I do ???
edit: I try to restore my backup now
Ok cool.. the restore process works pretty good.
Everything is like it was tonight, when i backed it up.
Ok, now is the question, why does the factory reset does not work here ?
I'm pretty sure they are taking about resetting it from within the phone, ie settings, private, factory reset
Edit: It's working as intended, you wiped your data partition. Needless to say this renders the phone pretty much useless

ok, i made a factory reset within the phone now
lets see..
Again.. same effect.. used the holy wcm to resque me.
maybe its because of the frozen sysapps that i instandly froze with TB after installing litening rom..
need to reinstall it again now.
Damn, i would like to have a real clean startup again.. and try if anything changes with the battery power.
My theory is, that many of us have a different hardware.. like battery type or a different screen or something..
Its like the 5 different firmwares for the mmols camera..
ok, i will now flash litening rom and configure it...
ps: don't forget to back it up yo!

how did u manage to solve it ..? i am facing with the same problem also ...thnaks!
Did you try to flash original kernel and then factory reset?
Had the same problem and downloaded from xda the original ke7 and installed it
problem solved. Then did a rooting again. Hope this helps.
It seems, that wiping the dalvic cache will produce that effect.
Because in the dalvic cache, there are many informations saved how your system is configurated..
For example your google account is also saved there within the google framework and the account and sync settings in the dalvic cache.
But not only there, there are some other places to.
Maybe i will make a tutorial in a while, how to change or delete the google account, because you can't delete or change it the normal way.
i solved this with wip data/cache

i've just tried upgrading to the new froyo build through kies, but on completion my phone will not turn back on. All i am getting is black screen with random vibrations. I can get into download mode though. Anyone have a link to jf3 or jm1 original firmwares so i can flash back via odin then try kies again?
Go to recovery (volup+home+power) wipe data/factory reset and it will work, happened to me also.

man I cant stress this enough.. THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!!! After this happened to me I was ready to 1) give up, 2) try to reflash with odin 3) try something even more crazy..
and you saved my but ! I did as you said and it just started up perfectly ! Now I have froyo, all my data, and dont have to reflash or anything !
I just have one question if I may please !
I had a lagfix installed and I didnt disable it before I did the flashing, so do I still have it or what ? Because I didnt loose any data but the applications that I had instaled are not showed anymore.. which bugs me because Ill have to clean up and redo everything.. but at least Ill have a clean phone )
thanks again man !
You need to dis able lag fix before updating or anything

of course I know that now , the issue with my situation would be that after I got it working (did what BaalBehrit said) the phone would boot up normaly, but all apps including of course One-click Lag fix were still there but didn't show as installed apps, nor had they any icons for that matter. Therefore disabling it before second flash was virtualy imposible.
What I did was simple. I backed all my data to my computer and then just formated both SD cards - that probably took care of the lagfix, after that, I did the flash again and everything run smoothly.
but you're right I have to remember for next time
I. I ve flashed my phone more than 50 times. Last Rom I tried was x 8 arc, and before I had minicm.. all worked fine..suddenly withx 8arc rom it stopped installing apps and when I try to go to settings -applications, it shows me every app but they all say computing and never shows the size of them. I try installing any apps but the installation bar continues endlessly. I repaired the phone back to SE Original and that way I can install apps and it shows me the size of them. I root it again installed minicm, new froyo 0. 20 and it happens the same.... no app install and always "computing" on application manager.. its really weird and i ve tried erasing everything on xrecovery and still nothing... anyone???
why you flashing ROM 50 times?? This is not good for your phone, you shoud format data and system and also cache in xRecovery and than repair with SEUS or PC Companion to get fresh 2.1 and root your phone and put xRecovery and CHOOSE a good ROM for your requirements, so you do not need to flash your phone with different ROM and brick your phone...
Did you try a wipe dalvik cache form xrecovery and did not solve app install issue ?

Yes my friend, I tried everything, factory reset before and after installing ROM, wipe cache partition, wipe battery stats and the rest. I went back to SE 2 times in a few hours and I then can install apps.. tried minicm, new froyo and still can't install apps and in in application manager (settings) they never stop "computing" and I when I try installing apps the installation bar goes on forever. I'm really puzzled and I can't figure out any solution since I went back to SE and tried it all over with no results.. f **k!!!!

are you using BaseBand 015? You must use 015 because 006 is buggy on custom roms...if you don't know what an X8's baseband is, XDA's search bar is your friend
I have a problem with custom roms too, except cm7, thats the only one that works good for me. After i install any other rom, i cant acces internet for some reason... I have baseband 015.

but took me a lot to figure it out cause it was working with movies and music...and if it was inserted it wouldnt let me install even on internal phone memory....

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 !!!
Sent from my LeeDroid 3.0.2 Enhanced Desire HD
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.

When using this method I've never had a problem.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
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 !!!
Hi,
Flashed stock JVR. Then flashed SURFACE Rom over it. Then flashed PaulGiddy's theme over it. Now FC msgs appear every 2-3 secs. Sometimes it is acore (BTW what is it?), sometimes it is phone, sometimes mms. Everything is crashing. The phone app, phonebook etc all gone (to where?). Looked around forum and found 2 versions of phone.apk. Installed those .zips on CWM too but did't help.
Pls help somebody!!!
tried formatting phone from cwm??delete data and cache..reboot.reflash with stock again if problem stil persists.

Did it. Then performed a hard reset again by *2767*3855# (just to be ultra clean).
Looks clean uptill now. No FCs.
Now the steps I think should be performed are (in order):
1. Flash a custom kernel (SpeedMod for eg.)
2. Flash a custom ROM (SURFACE, for eg.)
3. Change the CSC to my country (maybe using Nitrality)
4. Apply a good looking theme (PaulGiddy for eg.)
5. Restore Apps by TitaniumBackup.
Now, the thing is, I've done it all before too. But, I dont know which step caused the problem.
Maybe I did all one-after-another without waiting for some time in between to let the things settle (maybe a week or so).
Pls advise what should I do now (I'm still ultra-n00b to flashing world).
Did you delete some apps from system/app?

If you want to flash surface rom, then just follow instructions in rom thread step-by-step and do everything what is said..many times fc's are caused by bad flash or theme which replaces some apks/files. So try your rom before flashing theme (as boot & few minutes waiting time before that is anyway advised..) and you will see if it's theme which is causing problems.
Also, restore only user apps with TB..

If you don't want to do a full wipe don't even bother flashing it again.
The whole purpose of re-flashing is that you are having a problem with
the camera.
A clean install of Omega rom should clear it up.
But a dirty flash will make no difference at all.
Backup your apps using titanium backup or some other backup app so you don't loose your apps.
Good luck!

When i first flashed the omega rom, i did do a full wipe, worked fine until the camera app crashed for the 3rd time. I don't mind doing a full wipe, it's just i did some tinkering with my phone and i have to start again if i have to do a full wipe lol
Always do a full wipe when having problems.
I understand it can be time consuming, i have dirty flash many times and still had the same problems.
If the new flash doesnt work search the Rom thread, i read somewhere of a similar issue.
