Wow. Your phone is hunted!!!
hehe...
I think more than what we realise is backed up to googles servers when we tick the option in the phone to backup settings...
(settings, privacy, backup my data to googles servers). I noticed something similar with my last factory reset..

Contacts - Should always save them as "Google contact" so they automatically go into your contact list after logging in on your phone.
Messages - Go into market and search "SMS Backup" back it up then once you install your new ROM, download the same app again and restore it.
Apps - Use Titanium Backup to back up the apps. Then install it again after flashing and restore the apps.

Sure is. The simplest way is to make a backup with Clockwork recovery before you install the new rom and do wipe of data/factory reset, and all caches etc...
Once you have flashed the new rom, while still in Clockwork, goto Backup/Restore, choose Advanced, choose the backup you just made, and select only Data from the list. Everything you've asked for should be restored. Some widgets will not work on the first boot, you will have remove them from the home screen and re-add them.
Some apps will behave as if it's the first time you have run them, be aware of this.
This method makes for the simplest method of restoring everything that gets wiped when you install a rom that requires a full wipe of data + factory reset.
cool thanks, I got both methods done. gonna try to flash now. thanks

Holy heck. I had no idea Clockwork had this. Saves me a bunch of time.
Here I am thinking I knew what I was talking about

Does the backed up old data integer with a new rom/kernel though? I've been tempted to do this, but I'm worried that the data will conflict and cause issues.

Indeed, this method saves a lot of time.
I've had no issues using it, aside from widgets not working, until you re-add them to a home screen.

"Integer"? Did you mean integrate? or perhaps interfere?
I haven't had any issues using this method. I'd imagine any conflicts would be overwritten by the nature of restoring /data. If a rom author includes some .apks inside of /data, those will get over written. It's very easy to add them back though, just strip them from the roms zip, and copy over to the phone, then install.
I find this much easier than using Titanium Backup or some other app to restore apps and settings lost due to installing a rom.

While that seems to be perfect as far as restoring (and it does restore everything.) I seem to be having a problem with it once I run my rom, I'm having issues with sms locking up and the phone not coming out of sleep. I'm using Epic Exp 1.2.02 and Phoenix 1.43.
I've reloaded and restored date 3 diff times and still no luck..

Are you using SetCPU, while also having it set to something other Conservative mode? Try keeping it set to conservative. Also, SetCPU doesn't play nice with the Epic if you use a "Screen Off" profile. I don't have a solution other than to not use a Screen Off profile in SetCPU.
Boot recovery. Wipe data cache and dalvik (unless your rom requires somthing different) flash your rom/kernel. Reboot your phone and test. Determine whether the issue is with the rom/kernel or with the data restore. If the issue is the rom, head over to the rom's thread for support. If its not the rom boot into clockwork and try to restore data again. Maybe do an advanced restore?

Thanks dever76 for that tip, I now can switch to nightly builds on my Nexus. I appreciate it!
Hi there!
Today I noticed there were some new widgets and updates. I started to download them on Wifi in my home.
And then I gotta leave my home. When I left Wifi connection disconnected and updates stopped. After few hours my battery depleted so my phone shut down.
When I come to home I charged it and turned Wifi on. When I looked on get HTC widgets tab There was "Installing" labels next to some of the widgets but they weren't installing actually.
I waited for 15mins -enough time to install Win7 on my phone - but they didnt got installed. I got into manage apps. on settings and uninstalled all the HTC widgets. Restarted the phone three times. Nothing changed.
Any advices?
I decided to recovery but have some questions about recovery.
Will it roll the rom back to 2.1?
What will it erase? Apps, contacts, messages? What kind of settings will it reset? Ringtones, home layout and wallpapers?
Regards.

Try clearing Dalvik Cache and also Format Cache in Clockworkmod. What do you mean by recovery? Nandroid? It is a 1:1 backup of whenever you made it. Or factory reset? Regardless, yes you will loose sms and contacts and etc so backup with HTC sync first.

I meant anything that rescue me from my problem If the recovery in HBOOT screen is Nandroid, yes I meant it. I don't know how to clear Dalvik Cache or what it is But searched it and figured something. Now trying. I'm gonna update you.
Thanks.
Edit: And uh, what abput apps? will they erased?
Update: I was trying to Clear Dalvik via adb but it says: rm failed for -rf, Read-Only file system . What should I do?
Update2: I figured something and cleared Dalvik Cache but nonhing changed.
Update3: Performed a factory reset and solved thanks again jonusc for your attention
So I updated to nightly 14. After restoring apps and system data and reboot, home button doesn't work and the only 2 options that pop up when I plhold down power button are reboot and power off. Anyone know whats going on?

Did you wipe the cache and dalvik cache prior to installing this ROM.
I figured it out. Titanium backup was the culprit. I guess im not supposed to restore system with titanium.

naw, that's not recommend.
When you are upgrading from one ROM to the next ROM, with in the same family. Meaning like from CM7N13 > CM7N14 all you need to do is wipe the cache and Dalvik Cache then flash the ROM.
glad you got it hammered out none the less.

Restore =user apps= with Titanium Backup. If you have not yet synced with Google, just select the batch restore of uninstalled apps. If you've already synced with Google and had your Market apps sync, batch restore of User apps data.
For system apps, you've got to be judicious in your restores, because TB makes little distinction between some OS provision settings and applications that happen to be installed in /system. Just because something is green does not mean you can safely restore it.
Reportedly safe system stuff to restore via TB:
Alarm clock settings, Browser bookmarks, Email, SMS/MMS data, and ADW Launcher. I've done most of these. I find that ADW Launcher restores via TB require me to reset my widgets, which takes a minute. ADW has its own backup and restore, of course, if you prefer it.
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

Wow, I've never seen someone so desperate for an answer that they've actually bumped their thread after TWO minutes.
The simplest way would be to just go to CWM, wipe data then flash the ROM again I guess. I assume that's what you want (effectively a factory reset), but you're making things confusing by saying just apps, sms, contacts etc. Surely this is the whole OS?!

and yea there is go into cwm and choose wipe data factory reset
simple as that

Lol that's what I was going to suggest at first but I remember reading that that just reboots the ROM for some reason. Meh, try it out I guess
my guess is, his going to sell/ give the phone to somebody
just do a Factory data reset & it will be as fresh as day....
