Rooted w/ FR008

What's the best way to troubleshoot?

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?
Phone: HTC Aria
Browsers tried: Default, Dolphin HD, xScope

[Q] Upgrading From EB01 Superclean 2.2 to 2.3 Voodoo Version

So I have been messing around with EB01 for the last few days and I am a newbie. So far everything has gone great. I first flashed SuperClean 2.1 Non-voodoo and the upgraded to Superclean 2.2 non-voodoo. Finally, I got some advice and added voodoo by flashing just the EB01 Voodoo Kernel from jt1134. Everything has worked awesome. Voodoo definitely working, confirmed w/ Quadrant Score of about 1500.
I see that Superclean 2.3 is out for EB01 and I want to try it out. Since I already have voodoo installed w/ Superclean 2.2, what steps do I need to do to safely upgrade? I have done everything right so far and don't want to mess this up.
Here is my best assumption: Download EB01 Superclean 2.3 voodoo version and flash without wiping or diabling lagfix.
My main questions are:
1. Which Superclean version do I flash since I want to stay with voodoo (in other words do you have to flash the voodoo version or is that just being redundant since I already have voodoo intalled?)
2. If I am staying with a similar ROM, do you need to disable lagfix?
3. Can you give me scenarios when I should disable lagfix?
4. I upgraded from SC 2.1 to 2.2 without doing a wipe and it worked great. Is a wipe necessary from 2.2 to 2.3, or did I just get lucky before?

If you are running voodoo you don't want to flash anything but voodoo over it. You do not need to disable lagfix. I would recommend wiping cache to keep wierd little remnants from hanging around. The only time you would need to disable lagfix is if you were going to flash a non-voodoo kernel. Hope that helps.

I think that helps. So it sounds like I should keep flashing the superclean voodoo versions when a new one comes out if I want to upgrade. I should select "wipe data and cache" in ROM Manager before upgrading. I use Titanium Backup to backup my apps. Is there any other way to get back your apps and settings other than using Titanium Backup and running a restore?
Also, I am running the Superdark ROM over the top of Superclean 2.2 voodoo. Would my best option be: flash SuperClean 2.3 while wiping all data and cache. Flash Superdark again. Reinstall all apps and settings.

If you want to stay with voodoo, yes. I don't ever get into Rom Manager anymore. With all of the new themes out with reboot options built in it's just easier to boot straight into recovery and take care of business there. I install my rom/kernel (since thats how Adry's packaging them at this point) then install my theme since the rom over-writes your theme changes, then I wipe the cache partition a couple of times and the dalvik cache a couple of times. Then reboot.
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that if you don't do a data wipe then all of you apps and settings usually stay intact. But backups are still a good idea should something go wrong.

I'm watching this thread too.

I had 2.2 and was having issues with it - looking to go up to 2.3 now that the screenshot app is back.

I have just flashed 2.3 voodoo over 2.2 voodoo without wipe, all is working fine.
No issues encountered.

Have you restarted your phone yet? That's when I got all my issues.

Yes, multiple times, been flashing mods.

I have just flashed 2.2v-2.3v and have not run in to any issues. I don't wipe anything and still have not run into anything weird. On 2.2v I did notice my pics from my camera weren't in my gallery, but 2.3v seemed to fix it.

Same here, I did an upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 and no issues encountered. i did wipe the cache/dalvik cache but was willing to try it sans full wipe
I backed up just in case although

Whoa now, don't use ROM Manager to flash ROMs in voodoo! Use the red voodoo recovery. You shouldn't have to wipe data to go from 2.2 to 2.3. Just wipe cache and dalvik cache to be safe. I'd just do a nandroid beforehand to ensure you can go backwards if something runs funny.

I was able to go from 2.2 to 2.3. I did however backup and then wipe data, cache, and dalvik. I got rid of a few small issues that I was having in 2.2. Namely, I could connect to certain wifi hotspots and not others. As soon as I installed 2.3, I locked on immediately.
Thanks for the ROM Manager advice. I did all my work through the red cwm. I am going to try a 2.3 to 2.4 update now with just wiping caches.
Do you guys have any advice w/ Titanium Backup? Once I clean installed 2.3, I, like a lot of people noticed that the new market redownloaded almost everything that I had downloaded in the past. Pain in the ass, because I had to uninstall a lot of crap. I used Titanium to restore my USER apps and data and that went well. Is there anything with SYSTEM data that I should ever be restoring that can help out with getting my previous setting back?

how do i know if i have voodoo or non voodoo? im on a stock deoxed EB01. do i need to install voodoo kernel before i install a voodoo superclean?
sorry new to this fascinate.

The reason it tries to download everything is the automatic restore function inside settings > privacy. It should be unchecked, and youwon't have to worry with it. Keep back up checked though at least I did. Good luck.

The only thing from system data that I've restored is calendar data and calendar data storage. That has successfully restored my appointments, etc. that were in the stock calendar. I wouldn't load back any system apps, especially when going from eclair to froyo because you'd likely be overwriting newer apps with older ones.

stock is non-voodoo. the voodoo superclean installs the kernel with it. however I caution you to do your homework about voodoo and how to use it properly before making the jump. You can hose up your phone pretty good if you don't use it right.

[Q] google apps failing..even after full whipe of everything.

Okay, I'm here everyday reading this stuff, Id first like to say you guys rock. Everyone here, and the makers of these awesome mods, you have made my phone and my life quit amazing, and less boring like stock!
It seems something is wrong
I sort of switch back and forth between cm and savage zen when each have an update. I love savage zen because of the higher resolution, makes my evo screen crystal clear, while cm is much more stable, and has not only the meat, but the potatoes and gravy, while savage only has the meat
But anyway, no matter what I do, gmail crashes, and media crashes, market doesn't work etc. The google apps in rom manager have worked before, when I was using 2.3.4 I was able to find that google app package somewhere online.
The google apps in rom manager that im thinking of says its compatible with 2.3.3, and well I used it for a few weeks perfectly. Silly me though I'm never satisfied...
I'm running 7.0.3.1, but it seems the google apps that comes with that package has never worked, you know when you check the box for google apps.
So instead I would do it manually, and again I mean it worked fine.
I decided to go back to savage zen, loved it (everytime deleting delvik cache and full wipe)
I think I am missing something...
The order I would do things is, wipe dalvik cache/data, install mod/google apps. I mean that has always worked before just fine. I tried a before and after also, booted it before restoring my data, nothing crashed, it all went smoothly.
In recovery, I go to restore, advanced restore, then restore data. My 2 latest backups both fail. Am I not restoring correctly, oh im sure this is all my fault.
Sorry im sure this has been answered many times over...I found a few threads but they wernt quite what I was looking for because the person I was reading about both times was using cm6, and I think I did the steps correctly..but thats what I'm here for, Please help me fix my bad *** phone.

Quick Update
Okay, so yeah I do still have more to learn. I was thinking well maybe if I just wipe the cache partition....(havnt done that before..just did full wipes)
Is this all my fault? Maybe all this going back and forth is just not good? lol

I figured this out by myself. I went into titanium backup, and wiped the cache of every program that was giving me the error. Done and done. I guess clockwork mod doesn't get rid of all cache?
Well..thanks anyway...I didn't find the fix on google, or anywhere for that matter..It just came to me..

I remember reading comments about how clockwork dosent nandroid wimax keys and does not fully wipe like it should, you should try switching to amon's RA recovery.

I switched to Amon Ra a few months ago. I agree it's way better and it's nice to be able to whipe dalvik cache without waiting a few minutes for it to even get to the right screen, but I have still had a few problems even after dalvik/cache wipe. Titanium backup is a nice way of cleaning things up also, media storage!
That's something I figured out, it was media that kept crashing and it's happened again, but I do flash like a junkie! Always making sure to wipe dalvik/cache and making a nandroid backup before flashing.
Going into settings, applications, media storage then clear data. Works like a charm.
Also once I had 2 ringtones playing when my phone rang...couldn't figure it out and did EVERYTHING. Clearing media storage saved the day.
I think I'm done flashing..may of found my perfect combo
Synergy rls1 + godmode with aggressive freedom kernal.
mmmmm delicious! RLS1 made the phone actually seem to be overclocked before overclocking it (If that makes sense LOL), it ran just as smooth as it did running cyanogen overclocked to 1190. Of course I overclocked it anyway

Is there a way to access Apps on a soft-bricked phone?

I'm stuck at the boot-screen of Deck's 1.2 rom, however, I can still access HBOOT and Clockwork Mod Recovery.
I don't see an explicit option, but is there a way I could access Apps or other data to save as a back-up?
I foolishly deleted my rom back-up, and last time I used Titanium Backup was a few weeks ago, so it's not a good option. Thanks!

As long as the .zip for the ROM doesn't wipe /data, you could reflash "Deck's 1.2 ROM hopefully fixing your issue and not losing your apps.

I just tried that and it didn't work either. This is maddening.
The last thing I remember doing was tinkering with the lockscreen settings in the advanced settings. I set up a rotary revamped lockscreen with Dolphin Browser HD as my custom application. I have Dolphin saved to SD too, but I don't see why such a small thing would cause constant bootloops.
It ran fine before 1.2 stable and messing with the lockscreen.

Prevents this kind of thing.
Nothing you've said you have done explains a boot loop.

That's a good idea. I usually just use Titanium backup when I'm doing a full wipe or flashing a ROM with significant updates, but since I'd been using Deck's for a while and having no issues whatsoever really and just updating incrementally, I didn't think to backup in a while.
I had actually backed-up the ROM prior to flashing 1.2 stable, but I needed to delete it to make room to back up the newer version, and I didn't think it'd be a big deal since it was stable for a few boots. I guess I got too comfortable.
This is ridiculous, I didn't make any changes to the ROM or flash any new radios or anything of the sort that should cause a bootloop.
I do also use the Theme Manager MattedBlues theme but I've been using that for over a week or so with no issues, so I doubt that's the cause.
Oh well, thanks for the ideas though.

Sorry I took my Xanax to sleep or else I'd likely be able to think of some kind of solution.
Hopefully someone else can help you out.

I think in CWM if you mount System&Data /apps you could utilize adb pull..... Also did you set up any custom partitions, a2sd, data2ext, ect... ?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Actually thanks for the suggestions guys, I managed to dig up an older version of the rom saved on my downloads folder and flashed it and booted.
For some odd reason, an older release labeled as experimental works better than the 1.2 stable...
It's strange too because I looked around Deck's thread and no one else reported any problems similar to what I was having at all.
For all intents and purposes it appears to be very stable and functional for everyone BUT me
Thanks for the suggestions though. I guess I'll hold off on flashing any roms for a while or wait for a newer version and try flashing with a full wipe.

Cool glad you got her going.
Kaaameeehameeehaaaaaa!

After Flashing New Rom, Settings are preset and apps already installed??

i started noticing that after i flashed a new rom, alot of my settings are set to the way i had them before. and some apps are already installed that would otherwise need a marketplace install..
keep in mind, i always do a wipe of cache/dalvik/sdcard
i think it started happening after i partitioned the sd card for those old sense roms that needed extra space.. cant remember..
but it seems like theres a portion of rom that isnt being wiped and all my settings are being carried over to the next rom flash..
how can i fully wipe my phone or get it back to normal?
this is weird, and i want it to stop. any ideas?
i just flashed back to amonra

Are you using ROMs that have Google back up enabled?
Also, if the zip isn't set to wipe /data and you're not wiping it then you'll still have all of your data.

That has happened to me too. Are you wiping sdext and android.secure in recovery. I always wipe those and haven't had that happen since I started doing that.
We're comin from a pure power source.

naw i turn off all that google backup stuff.
thats the thing, when i try to wipe sdext it gives me an error (from the last i remember doing it)

Hmmm. Latest version of amon ra?

You should be wiping data as well when flashing new roms.

I flash vrsuperwipe everytime I flash, but I use Google backup, so when I flash a new sense ROM it saves a lot of my settings, and my SD-ext apps automatically appear. Good feature imo.

bump for any other answers or advice
thanks guise.
still wondering about other options before testing some new roms

same thing happened to me so I tried repairing sdext and then re-partitioned my card and left it ext2 instead of ext3,wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/system flash superwipe, then flashed rom. don't know which one worked but it stopped. Also I noticed it mainly happens when I flash 3.0 roms but it has happened on CM7 to

You did not wipe data. If you do this you will preserve all of you apps (if they were not on card), data and system settings. This may work for you if the new ROM that you are moving to is similar enough. It can cause big problems if the structure of the ROMs is too different. You can end up with a phone that lags and has wakelocks (at best) or is not functional at all due force closes all over the place.
You should really wipe data as well before flashing a ROM and then do a selective restore of data on the new ROM.
