My phone restarts when i used a app that requires root, but it doesnt restart completely. it just keeps hanging on the CM9 logo thing.
Using latest Eppys build , CM9 with Defy+ Kernel.
Apps: faceniff, WifiKill and so on.
Can someone tell me how this happens?
I dont know what you exactly want, but i think you will remove the bad apps without a factoryreset.
So boot into ClockWorkModRecovery, start under advanced the adbd (adbdaemon).
In this mode you have access to your phone via adb or androidcommander for windows.
Delete the bad apps in the data/app-directory, make a cache-wipe (not a factoryreset), reboot.
Hopefully willl your device boot complete.
If this not work, make a nandroid-backup of your system, reinstall CM9 and restore the apps of your old Backup step by step with Appextractor from Playstore.
Unrecognized reboots happens to me, on my second device a samsung galaxy s2.
The bad app was in that case autokillermemoryotimizer, which works fine on my defy but not on the CM9-Galaxy.
I want to just run apps but sometimes it makes my phone reboot but hangs on cm9 logo. Then ill pull battery out and restart again which is working fine.

Well i installed clockwork i think that's what's it called. My brain fried this afternoon. Anyways. Im having problems after install. Everytime i reboot my phone it automatically reboots to clockwork. So i have to end up hitting reboot again. So is there a fix to this or? I have bootstrap installed does that affect it when it reboots? I've search the forums and.no luck. Thx

Try reinstalling Bootstrap app.
IMO I like that it does that..if something happens with your phone ide, much rather have it booting up into a recovery that I can nandroid from... then having it go to a bad android install

I'm pretty sure that Clockwork Recovery only shows up if you booted your phone and the Android OS never loaded. As in, if you get stuck on the M logo or get a boot loop, or if you just pull your battery before you load up Android, then Clockwork will show up next time your phone boots since the file created when booting initially will still be there. Yet, if you boot up into Android, the file is deleted and a reboot at that point will simply reboot the phone normally.
I remember reading that the file is created on boot, then deleted once you get to Android. If you never boot up into Android for any reason, then the file isn't deleted. As a result, a reboot with the file still there will cause Clockwork to come up.
I was having the same issue as OP. It got annoying when I was trying out some new boot animations and such. I'm glad it's working alright, but I didn't need to constantly see it for no reason lol. I think the problem was that I was rebooting too early. I just tried this whole process just now and Clockwork came up even though I booted into Android. I tried it all again but waited a while this time. I gave Android time to load up all of my widgets, etc., then I rebooted. Clockwork didn't come up the second time, so I think that was the issue. Whatever process that deletes the file probably wasn't given a chance to do so the first go around.
I just recently rooted my Evo 2.2 using unrevoked 3 and now when I try and delete system apps using the Titanium backup app then phone reboots. Can anyone tell me whats going on, am I really rooted?
im prettt sure this is normal. When I delete system apps my phone basically looks like its doing a hot restart. It doesn't shut all the way down it just kinda resets the system. The reason being, in order for those apps to not show up on your phone anymore it needs to be rebooted. If it doesn't reboot there basically still on the phone so like if u uninstall flash 10.1 and without rebooting try and install a hex edited version of flash, it won't install until the phone is reset or rebooted. So I think your ok. Hope that helps a little.

Thanks I appreciate it. I will give it a try.
I have done the one step root and it doesnt seem to work. I go to superuser permissions and it just force closes. This phone was rooted before perfectly fine with the same method. Even SetCPU doesnt open. Its always that dumb superuser force close.
EDIT: I dont have any one click root errors or any other errors while in samsung recovery. It said it applied the update when I go to reinstall packages. No errors whatesoever.
EDIT: I tried the 1.5.5 and it just gets stuck in the loop and says to disable usb debugged. I unplugged phone and disabled usb debugging but when I do that it gets stuck on waiting for device.
Have you used Z4root its not on market anymore but here is a link for it

You have to install clockworkmod, then click reboot to recovery, click install from packages, then should be good (if it doesn't go to clockworkmod after that, reboot, and repeat). I have rooted several of these bad boys for co-workers the last couple weeks, and found clockworkmod didn't always take first time through as it does on other devices I have modded.
I flashed the galaxy s cm6.1.2 beta 1 and it gets stuck on boot screen and says Galaxy S GTI9000. I cant get to recovery by holding the volume key up. I dont know what to do now.
Background
- I'm using PAC 4.2.2 ever since I bought my Nexus 4 and was quite happy with the ROM until yesterday
- I started losing out the GSM signal for the past 2 weeks, it would intermittently go off and then come back by itself after a few seconds, at times few minutes (never thought it could be a ROM issue, is it?)
- Google started pushing its update and I had to manually stop data for Google Services from Settings -> Data Usage
Problem
Yesterday while updating Angry Birds from the Play Store the Play store crashed. I tried to open it but it would continue to crash as soon as it would try to load it.
I rebooted the device however since then its stuck on the google logo and doesn't proceed.
I have TWRP recovery installed and when it boots in to (Fastboot is it called?) it shows Secure Boot - enabled and Lock State - unlocked.
Few foolish things that I tried yesterday (in desperation) that might have already screwed up my phone beyond recovery....
1. Wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and tried to reboot but it didn't work
2. Flashed the new PAC 4.2.3 version that I had downloaded way back but still no success
3. Tried to take a backup from TWRP recovery however while restoring it fails and shows the message 'Restore Failed'
I really wish to recover the media that is in the phone and contacts if possible.
I have Google Nexus 4 Toolkit (not sure of the version but its like 8-10 months old) installed in my laptop and if I connect the phone and start the toolkit it recognizes the phone against adb (shows a serial number) but when I try to back it up it stops at 'Waiting for adb mode...'
I'm a total noob when it comes to recovery etc. so would really appreciate any help that leads to data recovery in my phone somehow, thanks!
Internal memory is accessible through ADB over recovery so you could easily get your data if it is still there. About the contacts - if they are Google contacts and saved to your gmail - happy days, nothing to worry about. But if they are phone contacts I don't think you'll be able to restore them.
Do you know what is the worst thing about smart phones? That the owner should be smarter than the device in order to operate it.

What would be the steps that I'd have to follow for this? I have TWRP recovery installed.
EDIT: I even tried a complete wipe but it doesn't work. Also tried using CWM as recovery, that didn't work either. Installed the Unified_Android_ToolKit (latest version), updated all USB/adb drivers but whenever I try to backup anything through the toolkit all I get is that it is waiting for the adb mode or its waiting for the USB debugging to be enabled (which I can't since I can't get the phone to boot up).
Any ideas?
Don't try to restore any data after full wipe. It won't work. Flash factory images to get your device into operable state again but before that go to Device Manager and make sure that the phone is recognized by the computer and the drivers for it are properly installed. Good luck. Can you still access twrp recovery?

After having given up all hope to retrieve any data or contacts I wiped the entire phone, format data I mean. However, with that I've ended up with no OS on the phone, I can access TWRP though. Not sure how badly I've ended up screwing the phone. :silly:
Not badly at all... Reboot your phone into Boot loader mode. Download the Google factory images of your choice and run the flash-all.bat file. Enjoy your fully restored phone in a couple of minutes.

How exactly do I run the flash-all.bat file? I tried flashing the factory image using the Unified Toolkit however there comes an error message stating that there is some issue in the program and it has to close. This happens somewhere midway when it starts flashing system.img and recovery.img
EDIT: I can't get in to recovery mode any more and neither can I flash any recovery
EDIT2: Don't ask me what I did, somehow managed to get the phone running in the 4.2.2 version of stock factory image. 4.4 wasn't working for some reason. Setting it up for use now.
Question: Can I simply download 4.4 factory image and install it on my Nexus 4 which came with 4.2.2. when I bought it?
Simply: Yes

Even when I wasn't able to follow any of the instructions you provided (my bad though) I would like to thank you for just posting on the thread man! :good:
BTW a good news that I'd want to share is that my contacts were backed up I lost on the media but its fine I think, probably a good lesson for future.
I'm updating to 4.3 from system update as of now, will use it as it is for time being and move on to 4.4 sometime later maybe. Not sure whether 4.4 will be available for update OTA once I move to 4.3 but I'm happy with whatever's left of the phone for now...thanks again!
So I have a problem that I will try explain as best as possible. I have a first gen nexus 7 that I successfully rooted a while back. I decided that I didnt want it rooted and tried to unroot it. Now when I turn the device on, the Cyanogenmod loop still comes up and when it gets to android, the play icon is gone,a nd I have no way to install apps. I downloaded the nexus 7 toolkit to try completely unroot it, but the app doesnt seem to see my device. I booted into recovery mode, but still isnt recognized. No matter what I choose, whether it be Start, restart bootloader, or recovery mode, the device will just restart and hang on the Google logo.
Any help is appreciated

So it will boot into cm but no plays tore? Flash the right gaps and then you should be fine. As for the other issue you need someone with more wisdom than me.
it boots into CM and the tablet works (mostly) fine... wifi works, all the buttons work, etc.... but the one main thing ive noticed is that play is gone and I have no way to install apps. And as i stated originally when I try to flash it back to stock, the windows app I use says the device isnt in the right mode....
bamp!

You did flag a custom Android OS, aka Cyanogenmod. Cyanogenmod doesn't contain Google Applications -> you need to flash Google Applications separately if you want to use them ...

Download gapps for the version of cyanogenmod you have: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Then flash it in recovery after you have flashed cyanogenmod.

Thanks all for the help.. What I would ideally like to do is flash the device back to stock as though I just bought it. My problem is when I boot into recovery (hit power plus vol up ((or down...cant remember which)), the device still isnt recognizxed by the computer app im using to try flash it.
bampers!!
