*solved* /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while fo

ok im freaking out a little, hopping that you fine ppl here at xda can help me agian.
i had a working rom on my tab, md's alaxandra III witch was my first rom it was great but i decided to check out another with a lil more customization. i did a backup and flashed the new rom.
it was a little twichey didnt run smooth so i decided to revert back to md's rom.
the first backup had an eror, i cant remember exactly what it said something about android media, so i tried an older one.... same thing. it was able to boot after the restore, i could see my custom live wallpaper so the restore somewhat worked but there was a force close window up that would not go away.
so i decided to just whipe and flash original zip for md's ROM. that did not work now im stuck in a bootloop.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!
how can i fix this my wife will kill me if i brick this lol

this isnt looking good... usually i get a fast response

when trying to restore i get
error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data

then when it boots i get the application launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
this will not leave the screen

Can you get into recovery? Try wiping everything and flashing a fresh ROM like Epiphany

yes i tried puting alaxandra III fresh and got stuck in boot loop

Dont panic YOU ARE NOT BRICKED..
oK FIRST OF STOP THE PANIC ATTACK.. this will likely cause you to miss a step..
1st .. Can you boot into recovery.
if so ..
i suggest .. start from the beginning.. TALK ALL VERIABLES OUT..
Format your SD CARD with a android phone or a sd format utility.. i use the one from pnys website..
re download the rom you wish to flash . To the SD CARD WHILE its in your computer i believe is best..
put the sd card in your computer..
boot into cwm or ra
wipe as usual
format partitions NOT THE sd card
Flash the newly downloaded rom..
reboot recovery .. go back to wipe menu
re wipe. as usual..
Reboot the tablet and set your google account back up. the above will KILL ALL OF YOUR DATA...
THIS IS HOW I Get out of trouble when i toast something.. I ALSO not only backup everytime i take a backup. i try to restore it to be sure its working correctly.. and i push it to my personal ftp site .
good luck...

ok i will try this thx ill get back....
also why did my backup not work? there would not be an issue if they had worked?

This is something i always do..it insures that the rom is clean and Fresh. sometimes if you do not take this step you will have ghost directories in /sdcard. directories that did not get deleted. why this happens i have NO IDEA..
Im just a average user that follows what i read.

ok it happens so fast i cant read what come after but when i wipedata/factory i get the same
error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data
then it says something else 2 lines i think then it says done, not sure what that means ill try and keep going and see what happens

and wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]

nope it did not work.
back to the forceclose pop up
i didnt get the set up stuff.straight to the rom. im getting notifications in bottem left like new email and wifi availible. shouldnt i get the set up ie. google account time zones and such?????
what ever that error is, its stuck in the system somehow

and one more thing i noticed.... there was a volume error i mentioned in a past post. well when im sitting here stuck with force close pop up, the volume is the only thing i can get access to. i can mute, vol up and down.
everything else is behind the pop up

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20680452&postcount=137
im kinda lost with the sd/ext error.. you might try the above.. i think this is how you rooted to begin with... via your computer thru adb.. or you could ask in the recovery thread . the ra recovery thread talks about a similar issue not sure its the same..
wish i could do more but i would get some clarification before you proceed .
so sorry i cant do more..

oh no............. i feel that panic

Hey, trying to put Alex III back in?
Ok, you need to tell me which Recovery are you Using? Thor's CWM? Or RA Revamped?
If you're using CWM, you should go to wipes, and do all the wipes (data, Cache, Dalvik,System if it has it also, not sure if his new version has it or not) Then goto Mounts and format;
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
Install Rom.
If you get stuck in animation loop, reboot back to recovery and do wipes only, then reinstall the rom.
If using RA Revamped 3.15,
Wipe;
Data/factory reset (you shouldn't lose any data)
Dalvik
System
If boot animation, go back to RA Recovery
Data/factory reset
Dalvik
I have RA Recovery down to a fine art with this rom.
Should get you hooked up.

thanks moscow
im past boot loop.
when i wipedata/factory i get the same

"wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]" is normal, don;t worry about it. But the other error, is corrupted data I believe.
Are you using Thor's CWM Recovery? What version?
or Do you use RA Revamped? What version
It sounds like you have some very corrupted data in there.
If you are using Thor's CWM. And his recovery only;
Here are the steps to completely wipe all internal data. And give it a clean internal system (according to Thor)
Note: Optional Formatting.
If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.
Note, this will format EVERYTHING in internal memory (not ext sd card)
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
After you reboot, I believe it resets back to the defaults.

Oh, and once you are done, try to install the rom with the normal procedures. It's quite possible the rom on the sd was corrupted, so you may want to re-download it again if you have the same error.
IF you are running RA Revamped Recovery, then you may want to contact Drellisdee at his thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459821
He knows the procedures to do the same. I would tell you, but it's a tricky process, and he knows more about his recovery than I do.
One more note, if you have an extra SD card, even a 2gb, I would format that to FAT 32, and also copy a rom to it and use it. (remove all doubt)

[TPT] CM10 Cannot wipe cache

Hi everyone, I recently rooted my 16GB WE TPT and installed cm10 v.0.8.1 and I love the performance and everything, if only there were no reboots. After reading in this forum I wanted to try to reinstall things from scratch wiping everything. For some reason I don't seem to be able to to anything with the data that is on my TPT. Neither can I do a factory reset from settings nor can I wipe data from Recovery. It doesn't display an error but it just doesn't delete anything. Then I tried to restore my backup from my original rom but this doesn't work either: it says error while restoring data (after recovery and system).
Can anyone help me? Could I have accidentally locked the data or anything?
Btw, Google Play has stopped working after my last try to restore stock and then install cm10 again.

In cwm you find under advanced a setting called "fix permissions". Try that

Hi, i had big problems with my Data-Partition. The Partition was read-only. No wipe with CWM was possible. Is that the same problem what you have? Do you have an logcat? Any error-messages?
Wiping was only possible with adb...

I don't have the same error messages you have/had, but I could image that my data partition is also read only since I can neither delete or install anything. What did you do to get rid of that problem?

The solution was to completely format the data permission. This can't be done in CWM directly because CWM tries to keep the folder /data/media, which is your internal sd-card and only deletes the other files (That's obviously not formating). In the link you can find a zip files that you can "flash" in CWM, it will format the data partition and does nothing else. After using it you should also manually wipe the cache using CWM.
Like i said, this will include your internal sdcard! Make backups first if you have important data stored on it!
http://ubuntuone.com/4zKT1jqeqhR8qdGh2y4TaM

I need to clear it - if I do "wipe data/factory reset" in stock ICS recovery menu - will it cause deleting ROM (and reboot will make brick) OR just will get it back to clean factory ROM?
I found few threads here about "wipe data"-thing, but it seems to me, that every version of Android / custom ROM / recovery type could behave different.

Fix camera sw issue (green noise)

If You have Rear camera that doesn't show picture and there is weird green noises and Tile pics from Front camera, here is how to fix it.
1) If You are on unlocked BL flash latest version (V8), with Pub recovery version 0.2 ( important part )

Hope It help

Thanks man.
I'll try this as soon as i arrive home.
Do you know why such problem happens?
Since i rooted a500, this problem started.

Didn't work
It didn't work.
I really don't know what to do to fix this problem, otherwise, send it back to Acer.

this one worked for me, i get this problem last week and i think this happens because bad installation of SW.
Are you flashed unlocked bl V8?
try this. use thor recovery 1.7.3 and perform a real format
boot in recovery and format cache and dalvik cache and battery status.
then go to recovery menu, enter Backup and Restore and click on Toggle backup and restore of internal storage data/media
then go to Mounts and Storage and format /data-/system-/flexrom-/cache
keep in mind this will format data and you will loose all you have in the in the internal memory. (backup first)
install civato's rom (rev 6.2 available) and reboot.
see if camera work normal, flash pub recovery (stable)
if camera doesn't work you need to goes back to acer's original rom with acer's recovery and if it doesn't work again it is a HW problem.

Factory Reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
format /system
Flash ROM and gapps

Make sure never to "format data" through TWRP, it will guarantee a bootloop.
To the OP:
The OP can ODIN back to stock, immediately do a factory reset, re-root, and then re-install TWRP again. At that point you can put whatever ROM and Kernel you had back on your phone...just make sure not to format Data again in TWRP or you will have to redo everything again. Also, make sure the MF3 OTA doesn't install on your phone before you get a custom ROM on it or you will be screwed for sure. Good luck.
And in the future, make sure you actually read the threads that pertain to whatever you are doing to your phone. If you would have read the TWRP thread in development, you would have seen what to do and what not to do.

A lot of people have had trouble with 2.6.x.x versions and have gone back to 2.5.x.x version, but the "format data" problem still exists. There is a little more info about it in the TWRP thread on the same page as the single post I posted.

Weird I had no issues... I did exactly that, click the button and typed yes... 2.6 is pretty horrible though, the freezing is annoying, so a downgrade to 2.5.0.2 will be next for me.

EDIT - I remember when I did that, it said that it may not be able to mount /data so I reboot recovery before I proceeded.

Restore your backup, and before you boot flash your kernel again, it should boot fine...

I flashed a bad rom and am stuck in the same position. What I can't find is an odin walkthrough for restoring with my original nandroid backups or an official uamdl odin image to flash. One thread claims to have a uamdl restore image for odin, but it's only 9.23MB which seems far too small.

Samsung galaxy tab a 10.1 cant mount data

Had this fixed on my first one . Had to return it and I cant find how i fixed it. Rooted. TWRP gives error message cant mount data. I cant backup or restore. Can someone point me to the fix, please?

Please note any instructions contained within this post are to be followed AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for data loss, device failure, or any other form of damages resultant from the below post.
Final Edit: Method below tested and working on my SM-T580. Please read entire post before making any device modifications.
The reason you cannot mount /data is because TWRP does not support Samsung encryption, and your /data partition is encrypted by default. To fix this, you must disable encryption and FORMAT (not just wipe) your /data partition. You will lose all data on your device by doing this.
To disable encryption you must flash this ZIP file by ashyx via TWRP. I will update this post momentarily with the link.
Edit: Procedure that worked for me is as follows: [YOU MUST HAVE A ROM FILE TO REINSTALL]
-oem unlock and flash twrp
-format data
-wipe cache, dalvik, system, and data
-back out to main menu and reboot recovery
-flash your rom of choice back onto the device, I personally am using Fenix v2 found on XDA
-flash ashyx zip *not sure if this is actually necessary but it couldnt hurt, I flashed this file at this time
-reboot system
-then reboot to recovery to flash xposed, sd patch, etc
-you will see that twrp successfully mounts /data
Good luck!

What? Not sure what you meant but it seems there is more to it than this. For some reason my device is forcing encryption across all sorts of wipes and such so I am currently trying to figure this out as well, will update if/when I figure it out
