Rooted w/ FR008

But I'm having random freezes/crashes, especially when I watch an embedded youtube vid.
What's the best way to troubleshoot?
TIA,

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?

Full wipe, new Rom, old settings and apps

Hello guys.
I would really appreciate an answer to a question I have.
I installed leedroid 3.0.2 and I have the same apps and settings as before.
I think I haven't done a good wipe..
I rebooted to recovery from cwm and used the wipe before I installed the new Rom. (i was using the revolution 3.5 before)
After I installed the new Rom, when I booted on, all apps and settings were there.
Shouldn't the wipe thing clean everything and leave the phone "empty"?
Or, (most obvious) did I do something wrong and should do it again? Cause there is a little thing with the market that closes the process when I click on new released apps.
Thank you in advance guys.
Cheers !!!

Are you wiping data and cache in recovery?
"wipe data/factory reset"
It will then say:
Code:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Data wipe complete.
Then:
"wipe cache partition"
It will say:
Code:
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete
(second option is overkill)
Have you still got the setting to backup to Google servers ticked? Or any other app that you have backed things up with?
Whilst the last option wouldn't be instant (they would download again and take a good 5 minutes to appear).
And yes, you will probably experience issues if this is due to a missed wipe.

So, I will need to do a factory reset first, then do a cache wipe and then install the Rom?
(i don't remember doing all these for the revo Rom..)
Do I need to do these without rebooting the phone until everything is done?
Cheers !!!

Yes, you should always do the "wipe data/factory reset" before installing any new ROMs or if the dev has advised it, also between major update revisions.
You don't need to reboot. If using recovery to install the ROM just do the wipes then flash the ROM using menu.

Awesome. Thanks for the help.
Will try it now and I hope everything goes well. Hope I won't get stuck since am not in front of my pc.

Well, I did it again. Everything wiped out, started as new.
But still, new apps in market and battery history in spare parts give me a process termination...
Oh well, I guess that Lee will release an update.
Oh, something else I would like to ask. There is a new kernel for the Rom. Do I flash it the same way I flash everything? Through recovery?
Thanks again guys
Cheers !!!

I use Leedroid and don't have this problem. Today I have installed from scratch and gone back and forth between ROM's. i turned off all the processes that backup and restore apps and I get a blank fresh install.
I have to ask, the last time you installed Leedroid, did you use the downloaded one or a copy from your sdcard? is it possible you are restoring a copy rather than flashing a fresh copy?
And you don't have any apps that have backed up your apps such as Titanium? And you have turned off Google Backup and restore feature?
The thing is, it is handy not to lose data but we need to make sure your wipe is being done. Did you see the same messages in Recovery as I showed above?

gosh, it is sooooooooooooo weird...
i did it all again. factory reset, delete cache, installed the 3.0.3 version (which was released today).
everything seemed to go smooth. still, i went to market and clicking on the newly released apps list i get an error which is "com.android.vewnding" has been shut blah blah blah. and the same happens to spare parts. when i click battery history ""com.android.spare_parts" shuts down.
do you guys think it has to do with the kernel? should i flash lee's kernel (i couldn't find how to. i mean, shall i do it from the cwm recovery?)
i guess that the radio has nothing to do with all these, does it?...
thank you guys once again for your help
Cheers !!!

You have tried fix permissions in ROM Manager, yes?

eeeeeeeeeerm.... you got me. that is something i totally forgot to do :-(((
gosh.. i flashed the radio, sweet. tried to flash a kernel using jkoljo's tool and it stayed on the white screen (and of course cold sweat was all over the place )
but i flashed the rom again after clearing cache and the likes and (thank god) i'm in.
but the most weird thing is that, after all these, the kernel is flashed :-S
i checked in the phone info and the kernel is there..
anyway, am gonna do the fix permissions thingy and reflash once more. if it stays the same way, i'll have to live with it. it's late here in greece.
thanks again for your help guys, i really appreciate it )))
Cheers !!!

i did it all again but nothing happened.
did the permissions, rebooted to recovery, factory reset, cache wipe, install new rom and nothing.
i have to tell you guys though.. the problem with the market started when i was on the revolution rom. and it started just like that. one day everything was fine, next, bam. it didn't budge.
do you think there might be something wrong with the phone itself? (probably not and i'm paranoid)
other than that, everything works nice.
oh, and some other thing. there is this "full wipe 1.3" zip i had put in my SD card but never really used it.
should i use it this time?
this app should clean everything in the cache but not my files, right?
Cheers !!!

YouTube clip of how to manually full wipe everything.

When using this method I've never had a problem.

I did the wipe as shown in the video. The problem remains the same. New market apps list gives an error followed by a restart of it and spare parts battery history does the same (without the restart though)
I don't know, I'm thinking of trying a different Rom even though I like the one Lee released.
(could all this mean that I have a problem with the phone?.......)
Anyway, thank you guys for spending time helping me.
Cheers !!!

Wipe gone wrong? Apps remained??? :S

Hi
I just flashed my phone with coredroid 8. I wanted to get rid off all the aps and make it virtually new as I bought this from a previous owner and it had their data on it.
But all the apps remain? Why?

Did you just flashed the ROM on top of the other one or you've done a full format?

Hi I did wipe clean and cache in cwm. It installed fresh however all apps are there.
Shall I format my SD card and flash again?

Hmmm that's really odd, can you try following these steps on how to install your ROM clean, just find it there in the post

Thanks to memnoc

Hi what ROM do you use? I am using coredroid 8 but waiting for 7.6..
Need to know how to do a clean install. Radio is flashed fine.
Can you please copy and paste instructions here thank you.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD

Did you factory reset/reset data, and system? Wiping your SD card won't get rid of apps.

1. format system
2. format data
3. format cache
4. wipe dalvik cache
5. wipe cache partition
6. wipe data/factory reset
7. DON'T REBOOT flash rom
8. reboot and wait (first boot may take long)
If you do it like this you will have a 100% clean system. After setup your Gmail account all your apps should get restored by Android Market (may take a couple of minutes). If you don't want your apps to be restored open the market go to "my apps" and cancel the download.

Okay great. The apps came back because of my gmail account.
Erm, can I format my SD card or will that mess up my rooting, clock work recovery and ROM manager etc?
There's alot of junk left from previous user. Id like to have a complete clean start.

Sure you can but make a backup of your card before you do it. Maybe you need your fotos, music aso.
There is no problem with root or recovery because its on the phone not on the card.

Selling my DHD with CM7.1 > Factory Reset?

Hello awesome people,
I will be selling my DHD (with CM7.1) to fund the next Android and have several questions:
1. Before I wipe, I will use the Titanium Backup (free) to backup all apps + contents plus SMS_Backup for the text messages.
2. I will be formatting the SD card before I put it in the phone to ensure nothing stays there.
3. If I run Factory Reset - is this enough to wipe it clean of all data?
Is there something else I should do, so I can a) wipe it clean and b) later restore on my new android phone?
Thank you for your help!

lol it's one click thing not complicated. Also wouldn't it be better to actually do a recovery of the stock firmware?

will factory reset erase android os on my hd2?

Currently was givin this htc hd2 phone, and its running android. i want to do a factory reset on the phone because he does not remember his pattern lock code. I i want to know is if i do that, will it factory restore back to windows? Because i want to keep the android os.

If you factory reset within android, it will only wipe /data and /cache. However, if the rom you are currently using has system files symlinked from /data, then you will need to re-flash the rom from recovery.
BTW, the phone will not return to windows with factory reset

thanks
