How come my phone resets to factory after doing restore. - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I went from cm7 to cm7.1 and loved it but tried to install swype and it didnt work and i wanted to revert back to just cm7 from the back up i did and after doing the restore im back to factory. can someone please help. I've tried a few times and it runs through the whole restoring processs and when it finally reboots im back to factory. each time i cleared data cleared cache and cleared dalvik and then went to restore. will someone please help me and tell me how i can get all my setting and apps back.

I am 99.999% sure you made a backup of the stock ROM and not CM7...

It has happened to me twice. I believe in my case the back up didn't back up my rom correctly or got currupted. When I would restore it, it would restore the rom but I would have to re setup my device from scratch.

After restore fix uid's.
i had to format sd and re partition it came back now i have to download all my apps again. what did i do wrong with the nandroid backup and how can i prevent this from happening again? also was there a easier way to fix it then starting over?

I went into recovery mode and cleared my dalvik cache and things came back to normal. However, random apps still fail like Google Maps search.

marketplace down?

I recently performed a nand restore from a custom Rom I didn't want to keep and now, everything I try to download from the marketplace fails. when you do a restore, do you need to factory wipe and dalvic wipe as well? sorry of this is a dumb question!

I had this problem and it may be for a completely different reason. I was uninstalling apps i don't use and I uninstalled Google talk. After some searching people who were having trouble downloading apps in the market fixed it by signing into google talk. I restored to a backup before i removed it and logged in and it worked fine.

Me too. Whenever I am on wifi the download just hangs at "Starting" until I switch the wifi off. Im not sure if this is by design or not.
ugh this is really bugging me. I've done a factory and dalvic wipe and restored again and still cannot download off the marketplace. I'm at my wits end.
edit: I even did just a factory wipe with no restore and started from scratch and the marketplace still won't download. I'm stumped. maybe I should do the revert back to stock unrooted 1.5 and then root again. or maybe I should wipe then reflash the rooted 2.1. any suggestions? thanks!

Tried it. Didn't work. I just reflashed to the rooted 2.1 and still cannot dl from market and now cannot sign in to Gtalk.... maybe it's a google thing?

[Q] Endless reboot / cant get into Xrecovery

Hey guys.
Big problem here.
So I decided to update my phone with Free X10 Froyo 2.2.1 Beta 4
Installed it. worked. hotfix worked fine too.
After that I installed X.HC for beta 4. Worked fine too.
So I wanted to recover my data i backup with xrecovery before installing.
After that I'm stuck with an endless rebooting process. I boots, crashes, boots again, crashes and so on.
While I was writing this I finally got into xrecovery, but it took me 30 times to get there.
So my question is... is there any way to restore my data? Do I have to recover the cache to? I just tried to recover the data part of the back up.
Thx!
Do not dare to restore data if you are changing android versions.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Use titanium backup for backup and restore apps and data, not xRecovery when updating/downgrading between Android versions.
Ahh okay. So I wont get my data back but I will use this the next time.
Thx
You can use your back up to restore your data, but make the full restore, not just data.
I have the same problem as mentioned above, just that I cant get into xRecovery and dont know what I should do. I tried a few methods but nothing worked so far.
If someone might know any sollution answer me in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14532797#post14532797

[Q] ACS force closing Logs Provider on boot

I'm running the latest version of ACS, and I keep getting a force close loop for "com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider", when I boot. Meaning I tap force close, and it comes right back, giving me no access to my phone. This is after two crashes (using the phone then it turns off). Does anyone have a suggestion? My father's Evo did this too, and he had to scream at Sprint before they'd swap the phone, but it's working fine now. I have the insurance thing on my plan, should I try that? If so, would I have to use Odin first?
Did you try to restore a backup with titanium backup??? I would boot to clockwork recovery and try to fix permissions by going to advanced in the menu.
Already done. I wiped user settings or whatever too. I'm now trying to reflash ACS and it says can't open /sdcard/foo/bar/syndicatefro110-standard-signed.zip (bad) could it be my sdcard? Does Sprint cover those under my hardware thing? I'm using ext4 afaik.
Im not sure if the cover the sd card I want to say no unless it is under a month old. However I wouldnt bring the phone in like that I would odin to a stock unrooted rom. Try to recopy the acs rom to the root of your sd card and then wipe data/factory reset 3 times in clockwork and then try to reinstall the rom.
I've been having issues on all my roms, so I'm thinking it could be my sd card. I'll bring it in as a last resort. Don't want to Odin if I can avoid it. Thanks for the help.
the logs provider has to do with mms and call logs and the sd card shouldn't affect it since it is a system app data/data/com.sec.android.provider.logsprovider. Did you try to clear the dalvik in advanced within clockwork???
That's crazy, I'm having the same exact problem. I was running the latest ACS fine for weeks and then I just rebooted it and BAM, 'Force closes' like crazy!
I reformatted, cleared all cache and factory reset to no avail. I still kept getting the same things pop up. I finally installed it through the zip file the 3rd time and somehow iit's working fine. I lost all my apps and evidently they didn't back up to my google account.
I'm too scared to reboot myphone now since that's what seems to trigger the problem.
Anybody know the source of the problem?
Curious if your getting any oneDram errors in dmesg? Seems like you guys are starting to have those odd errors were seeing in the Bonsai 4.1.0 beta.
Sent from Bonsai 7.0.3
I don't think i saw a oneDram error message, I remember seeing force closes for most of the services or processes that usually run in the background like phone and DRM service.
The persistent force close message that kept popping up was the logs.provider one.
This problem is currently happening to me now
I'm to lazy to fix it now though by the end of the week I'll do something
This happened to me while I had very bad/varying signal
(0-2 bars on a six bar scale)
And low battery
(40%ish)
I clicked on my email app and while it was loading I locked my phone and walked toward a window for better signal
When I looked back at my phone it rebooted by it self and everything is force closing like email and messaging.

Yeah that's very similar to how out started with me too. Actually it might be exactly how it started.
Please let us know what you find out, because I've actually had this problem once before with an ACS rom.
I had my phone do this the other day with the logs provider. Reinstalled the rom (ACS Latest) and the issue went away...
Brother has been having the same issue for weeks on his epic too. He was running Bonsai 4.0.1 getting the same force closes, only his started first when he tried to open his mms app... He installed the latest ACS to see if it was Bonsai, about an hour later got the force closes again until he had an endless loop again.
We checked our memory blocks just for giggles and noticed he has 3 bad blocks while i have 11... cant be the issue...
He would get those force closes on EB13 and DK28 too.
We always do the 3x 3x 3x dance in clockwork before installing a rom too...
Dont know if this info helps or not. He thought about going stock and hitting up a Sprint store today and taking out an insurance claim....
Sorry I missed this thread.
Here's what I want you guys to do.
Back up your sdcard to your pc. ( just the files you wanna save.
Format your sd card with your phone
put the rom zip on your sdcard
Back up everything with your favorite back up program. titanium or mybackup root.
Reboot into cwm make sure it's 3.0.0.6
Wipe data, cache, dalvik 3x's ( don't cheat )
Flash your rom.
Boot your phone.
Restore your back up from your backup program. ( apps only no data )
Reboot into cwm again.
This time only wipe cache and dalvik 3x's ( no cheating )
Reboot and you should be good to go

I wish it was, but it isn't a guaranteed solution. It might work 99% of the time.

I said for FCs, not bricks.
I'm having the exact same problem with the same ROM. The other day it froze after I took a picture and wouldn't respond. Had to do a battery pull after which I was stuck in an endless boot loop.
Tried just reflashing the ROM from SD and no dice, then cleared all caches 3 times and reflashed and I had a working phone again.
Then about 10 minutes ago I was using the phone and it shut down out of nowhere, after that booted back up with a tone of force closes and now the log provider force close won't go away. I'm just going to switch ROMs cause this is ridiculous.
No need to do that. The solution for freezing is excrutiatingly simple - and if it only freezes when you're in the camera, you need only format your SD card.
Do that, wipe data, and reflash, and everything will work 100% perfectly.
i had this issue more than once. and any kind of restoration of a backup made after the fc started resulted in continued fc's. i had to start fresh no backup and restore.

As expected - Nandroid bad data, and your bad data will remain. Use MyBackup Root for that.
Just take a Nandroid backup and restore it when you're running properly - or use the zip in the development section to turn journaling on. No problem.

Titanium backup Problem

So when I open TB It does all the stuff that it always does and then after like 2 secs my phone just reboots :/ This started happening after I wiped dalvik cache, atleast I think it did. I tried uninstalling it and re-installing frtom market but still the same problem :/
Really need help!
try re-flashing your ROM with clockworkmod
Go to manage applications and open TB. then clear data and cache. May be solved. Worth giving a try before installing new rom.
Even try uninstalling and re-installing.

Maybe OC?
I had problem with rebooting buzz while using TB. Everything back to norm after restoring stock cpu freq.
None of the above worked, so guess I'll just have to flash newer nightly and see if it works..
