Force close loop

Hey. Well, let me first say I've literally spent the past 12+ hours working on my phone. I am exhausted mentally. I searched the forums and I was shocked to see that only one topic came up about it and it wasn't even about force closes. It was a 100+ page CM post.
I rooted for the first time today using a method posted on these forums + extra info I found about adding the OTA radio leak, and installed UV Hydra kernels. I got Rom manager and flashed Skyraider 2.2 Sense. I booted a few times too and all was good. I swear I thought I was doing it all right taking it slow, rreading all of the info over and over. A true noob. Everything was all cozy until I got my old apps and tried to make a backup with Titanium.
It's so cliche to say it but I need serious help. I don't know what to do and I'm near tears after all this work. I have dozens of force closes going on immediately after boot and even thereafter. At one point it asked me to reset up the phone. I can't run any app because they force close immediately.
I don't know if it's the Rom, something else, or me.
I know this is long winded. Please forgive me. And if this is in the wrong forum section, please forgive that too.

Do a full wipe in recovery and flash the rim and kernel again...but upon restoring, only restore downloaded apps, not system apps.
I remember when it took 12+ hours just to get root (for some people anyway) those were the days.

Wow, That sounds like a seriously horrific days. Not sure if I can help, but i'll sure as hell try to. Can you verify that you Baseband Version is 2.05.00.06.11?
Did you create a nandroid backup of before you flashed any of the kernels? If you did I would restore that backup as I know some people have had issues running the old .29 hydra kernels with 2.2 roms. Or was this the new .32 kernels you flashed?
If you did not create a nandroid backup I would recommend flashing the leaked OTA from 8/1 located here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742242, this is a leak of what will be close to the stock 2.2 htc will release in the near future. Remember to wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache(located in "advanced" of recovery.) As soon as you flash that and can verify it is working create a nandroid backup of it before you add any apps, I would recommend signing into your gmail, testing camera and camcorder, make a call, sending and receiving both an sms and mms, 3g data check, and then creating the nandroid when you see those are working. After you create that nandroid then start installing apps. Hopefully this can help you out a little bit. If you have any questions, you can pm me and i'll do my best to try and help you out more.

I didn't see you response until after I posted and you are most likely correct. I remember now, when i tried to restore system apps when i had a droid eris, that was not a fun day. Hopefully it's an easy fix and a learning experience, easiest way to learn is to make a mistake. Even though my answer is most likely not the solution to his problem, IMHO it's essential to always keep a nandroid of stock on your sdcard at all times, just in case.

Wow I see alot of info and I'm going to work with some of it but let me add this before I start dinking around today.
Right after I posted last night, I sat on the edge of my bed and had a thought. I had made a nandroid backup when I had almost every app back on my phone. The only ones I ones I didn't have when I got stuck were, Shoot me, Titanium backup, Adfree Android, and Tasker. Tasker being the only one I had before root. The others I picked up after.
SO! I told the phone to use the backup I had and I passed out to sleep.
I'm up now lol and thankfully I'm a stay at home mom so I can mess with this.
The backup made it a working phone again! Which is good. And this morning I had a second thought. When I opened Titanium backup last night, I got a message at the bottom of my screen that said Titanium had set itself up right... but it wouldn't go away. It kept looping itself. I thought it was just a fluke. Oh god... and NOW to think about it, that's WHY I rebooted in the first place. BECAUSE in the midst of it being weird, I tried to do a backup OMG. I wonder...
My Software says
Baseband 2.05.00.06.11
Kernel has a 32 in it

Alright I'm doing this nice and slow making backups along the way.
The only quirky thing that has happened is Titanium backup started spamming me again that it had been given superuser permissions so once again I had to reboot but this time it came up. Slow.... but it came up.
I guess what I"m trying to say is that I don't have a clue now what caused it.
OH! And my kernel is a 32 that came with the rom? The UV one I forgot to put on lol. It's on my SD card but I hadn't installed it. That one is a 29.
I just found a post on Android Forums where 2 people has this happen to them last night as well on Incredibles. They were without root.

If they were without root it could be a phone defect, I was going to recommend selecting fix permissions from rom manager.
EDIT: If ur running froyo try to only use .32 kernels. New kernels r up on Hydra website that are .32 check those out

n00b flashed CM 6.1.RC2 - bugs/questions!

hi there
ive been reading the last few days, and decided to flash a custom rom. i had wanted to do CM 7 nightlies. but i had trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.x.x.x for some reason, i decided to go with CM 6.1.2 RC 2, so that i didnt have to flash it and could just install Clockwork Recovery 2.xxx via ROM manager.
Ok, so i did the nandroid backup. Wiped. Installed the CM 6.1.2. Then my phone wouldn't turn on... i thought i had bricked it. But i took out my battery, sim card, and SD card and tried again and it turned on. I was super relieved.
Anyway, now on CM 6.1.2, im having a few issues/bugs.
1) how do i restore all my old info? Contacts/apps all that stuff? Im not sure how to bring it all back.
2) My home button doesn't work. I have to keep using the back button if i want to get anywhere.
Thanks to the community for helping me achieve this! Just a few more questions though, thanks !!

Once you sign back into your google account, your contacts should flood back in...apps can be reinstalled via the market (if you flashed the google apps package)
Try rebooting, your home button may work after that

tried to add my old google account and it said 'unable to open connection to server'
?
and i rebooted and that didnt work, for the home screen. i went back and wiped everything again and installed CM 6.1.2 again and the home button still doesnt work.
very aggravating.

just a question. If you wipe and flash Sense back to the phone does the home button work?

im not sure, do i just do a factory reset or something?
or restore from the recovery reboot?

also, market place is not on the phone?

Then it sounds like you did not flash the G/AAPS as well. If you only flashed CM6.1.2RC2 you will not have ANY Google Applications. G/Mail, G/Talk, Maps, market. all those will be missing.

just did the restore -
home button works, everythings just like i left it.
its an RC so im unsure of it being a bug? Not really sure what else it could be.
maybe an earlier build? i dunno

well i have the download, and after i wiped everything i installed the CM 6.1.2 RC2 first. after that was done, i installed the gapps zip file i had.
how else should i have done it?
would there be any downside to just using applanet?

UGH, thats what i tried initially, but i was having trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.xxx to my phone (keep in mind im a super noob)
i saw that link someone posted for people that are having trouble, where you push the flash_image file to your phone.
it said put the flash_image file (and yeah, i unzipped it and used the file not the .zip) in the root of your SD card.
and im not quite sure where that is (i know i know, im learning dont laugh!)

ON CM6.1.2RC2 /which is an Android 2.2 ROM/ yes it will install pre signing it..... you can either sign in at the beginning to auto download the applications or you can skip it and add it via, Accounts & Sync to skip the auto downloading... Only Gingerbread currently installs G/APPS post signing in.
If they are having a problem connecting to the Wi-Fi you should still get all the applications it will just not allow you to do anything.

much much much thanks to this guy
he walked me through flashing clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 to my phone. i had a few issues with renaming the clockwork recovery file a .img, and where to put files and such, and he helped me through all that.
i was able to do it successfully and then push CM 7 nightly 23 to my phone, and am running it perfect
so its my first day doing this and ive pushed CM 6.1.2 RC2 to my phone, and now CM 7. it was a great day in learning for me.
one problem is, i logged in to my google account, and it says everything is sync'd and im getting emails and such - but my contacts still haven't transfered. no biggy though, i can put them on again.
question - in the future is there a way that i can make a backup of all my apps, and all my data and that stuff, so that if i put another nightly over it, or switch to another build i can keep all that stuff?

Buy Titanium Backup from the market! It's the best $5 you'll spend. You can backup your existing apps with the data. You can also freeze bloatware if there are any on the phone. I doubt you'll need it as CM7 is very very slim already
EDIT: Make sure when you reinstall your contacts, you sync it with google. Next time you do a clean wipe, you can sign in and they will apprear. On the nightlies, you can just flash the new builds over the old ones. I do a clean wipe every 3 builds to keep it clean. You can also backup you ADW or LPP settings so it will be easy for you to restore on a new wipe. Hope this helps!

Cm7 is garbage

Swype installer installs swype but the swype feature does not work.
My 3rd flash of it to see if it gets any better btw.
All my gameloft games will not install through either titanium or my download list on their site because of bookmarks not matching up.
I get constant google framework FC's after cm7 "settles in" for a few hours.
I cant get into rom manager without FC's.
I am not a noob. This is my 3rd time flashing it on a t959. I never had a single problem on my g1 or original mytouch.
Im willing to sack my gps to have 2.3 but wtf? Im flashing correctly, i know i am. I let her sit for a bit, reboot a few times to clean everything up. Go to the market, let it do its thing installing everything. Wait. Reboot. Titanium backup, restore missing apps with data, ALWAYS GET PROBLEMS PARSING PACKAGE for gameloft and others [pisses me off so ****ing much, i cussed, deal with it]. wait, reboot, setup widgets and other settings, and reboot one more time until i finally not enjoy gb because of all the aforementioned bugs. Tell me im not the only one who is raging hard that cm7 performs like garbage, i cant be the only one.
Inb4: condescending responses, if u cant help or contribute positively then do not post. This is to help me and anyone else in my boat with their cm7 experience.

I dont know why ur having so many probs! i just flash back to stock odin 2.1 to get rid of any ghosts of roms from past and root it then install rom manager premium and download cm nightlies and ur done. First install of cm7 i always do wipe data but after that i dont and i havent had one problem yet and ive been doing nightlies since #4. So just because ur having probs no reason to call it garbage! Plus with all the work they put into i wouldnt appreciate someone calling all my hard work trash!
questions:::
are u part of swype beta? if ur not it wont work!
"Titanium backup, restore missing apps with data, ALWAYS GET PROBLEMS PARSING PACKAGE"---- THEY TOLD u not to restore apps with data as it may mess with things on this.
have u gone into sgs tools and clicked on market fix to fix any fcs on market like ur gameloft?
Do u click all three when they ask u if u want do wipe data and wipe dalvik and backup rom? on ur first cm 7 install u should click on all 3 to be safe of all probs.

Sorry for the garbage title. I was angry when i started the thread.
I am part of the swype beta.
I did every step incling the wipes. Everytime i get the same issues stated in my OP. i am missing something. I just dont know what it is.

I'm also having troubles with cm nit recognizing my internal memory....

what do you mean swype feature does not work? you have the swype keyboard enabled, but when you trace a word the keyboard boarders flash blue and type nothing? you can't even get to the swype keyboard? you have errors on install?
do you have the newest installer (they auto update now, but that is a relatively new feature).
also, which cm nightly are you flashing?

Swype is working great for me.
It didn't when I restored it via TB. When I installed via the beta installer, it worked perfectly.

You are doing something wrong.

I was under the impression that you are supposed to restore apps WITHOUT data via titanium. I could be wrong but that is what I have done, and I have had no trouble with my apps.

wipe/format boot, system, data, cache. Install the rom, wipe dalvik, factory reset then turn on your phone, let the phone set for 5 minutes then reboot into recovery (NOT THROUGH ADB). Then install Gapps and let the phone settle and then you should be good. When install things via tit-b do not restore system apps. For some applications if you are getting f/c's uninstall them, fix perms on the rom via Rom Manager then reboot. After restore the apps getting f/cs but only the app not the data (tough loss). You should be good.

Then don't use it. Jesus Christ.
I had many of the same issues you are having. Finally said "screw it" and went back to a 2.2.1 ROM and I'm feeling happy bout it. I miss the gtalk FFC integration, but otherwise not missing CM7. Frankly I've had issues with CM7 on my G1, my Hero and now the Vibrant. It's just never been reliable.
But that doesn't mean you need to start a *****-fest thread about it. Cmon now.....

If the apps were backed up under 2.2 and you are restoring them to 2.3 then that is your problem. Don't ask me why but I had to download all my apps again because none of the backups I made under 2.2 would work under 2.3. Try downloading the apps from the market instead of using Titanium. Keep in mind this ROM is still in the very early stages but other than GPS and the call mute/unmute thingy it runs flawless for me so I am inclined to believe you may be doing something wrong and I suspect Titanium might be to blame.

Thread should be called - USER ERROR leads to garbage
I have been using CM7 for a while now and haven't experienced any of the noob issues you have mentioned. I'm not calling you a noob because of your lack of execution. I'm calling you a noob because you pulled a noob move and basically said that a rom that is marked experimental, is causing you grief and furthermore it sucks. CM7 happens to be a fast and an extremely stable rom if you know what you're doing. It sounds to me like you aren't using TB the right way or something. It's guys like you that make what few devs we have left want to leave.

The first time I tried cm7 I fell in love!!! I had never look back at any other rom. I still don't understand why people are still making and porting 221 roms when cm7 is almost perfect and
Honeycomb!!! Is out already. I just don't get it.

When there is SO much #Fail in a thread, XDA cries.

Wow you have to be joking, you have errors caused by your stupidity, and you have the audacity to call cm7 garbage? If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't even be here on Gingerbread. Don't be an idiot, think before you post.

a g1 runs 2.1 really crappy concidering it is using a modified nexus kernel, unless there is source for the phone for the version you are on it will never be 100 percent perfect

issues? well...

there's still no excuse. i get pissy too but you dont see my ass coming on the boards and bashing. keep that crap to yourself cause no one on here wants to hear it. your issues are simple enough. either you didnt wipe your device while installing or you did something that only a n00b would do.
i have problems too but known problems such as GPS. you dont hear me whining about it like a little *****.

CM7 rocks!!
I found that build #20 messed up all of my user data/apps and had to start fresh (ODIN, etc). Of course a Nandroid back-up would have probably solved my app issues so next time try backing up before attempting anything crazy . Even TB didn't work when trying to reinstall (there was an update to TB that may have solved my problems I never tried it). Learning everyday about my phone and loving CM7 every step of the way! Good luck.
By the way I too am a SWYPE beta user; just had to re-initialize the installer with their emails and I was good to go.

[ROM] Stock rooted 3.2.1 a501_4.483.01_EMEA_TMPL 20-01-12

Rooted
Busybox
Superuser
Data/app folder added with a couple of apps to check root
All stock ACER apps included
You know the procedure for flashing. If not, here they are again, as it seems some people don't know.
You MUST do the wipes and formats.
Installation:
Due to issues with Version 1.7 of recovery, you may get stuck at the boot animation. Highly advise you to downgrade your recovery back to Version 1.5. It seems that some things do not get wiped and formatted correctly.
1. Wipe User Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe DalviK
4. Wipe Battery Stats
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.
If you want to save all the things like downloaded files, apps, pdf's etc, then DO NOT enable this toggle, and just proceed to the Format steps.
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
Select Go Back and select Install from Zip File (for those of you who refuse to update their recovery, select Install zip from SD)
Link Re-established.

Not sure what your definition is of a "full wipe", but instructions can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390860
I can guarantee you that if all you can get is to the boot animation that the problem is "pilot error".

Try downloading the ROM again. It might be a bad download.

Well, here's what I suggest. Look in my original post. I added the full instructions from my other rom.
It seems now days, the old 3 wipes just don't do a good enough job, you also have to do the formats as well.
(I thought I would be lazy and do only the 3 wipes last night, guess what? Stuck at boot animation) Did the full wipe and format, and it works as advertised.
EDIT: Guess what? This morning, I cannot flash anything, or I should say "hit and miss". Not even my daily driver. Connected to Recovery I believe.

Link re-established. Nothing wrong with the download.
If you have issues, downgrade your recovery back to version 1.5.
The issue with version 1.7 is "hit and miss". Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Well, I haven't checked the comgen1 yet (had to figure out the recovery problem first). Will root it and check it in a bit.
But, so far, I see 4 or 5 language supports are missing from the TMPL. Arabic and Aisian mostly. Also, on install the default is Polish (not a biggie as you can change it).
Other that that, it has a few extra files when compared to 3.2.
It seems I can get 1 or 2 extra sat's on gps when comparing to HC 3.2. But maybe because it's a clear day here.
Also, Acer included a couple new apps. One of them some 3d photo browser that force closes the first time you use it. Then it works normally, sort of. Seems it loses it's images off and on. Nice job acer. And, it's butt ugly. Wonder who the rocket scientist was that chose that app?
I'm not going to mod this one, but I will with the comgen1. Overall it runs good I think.

What is that A501_4.031.24_4.066.29_COM_GEN1 build ?
I am only aware of that Acer_A501_4.066.29_COM_GEN1 posted by Vache, but how did you figure 4.031.24 is upgraded to that one ?

Sorry. My Bad
I was thinking about the a501_4.510.01_Com_Gen1H that was leaked out yesterday.
I already rooted it and such, but it seems to be a "Demo" version from a couple of months ago. Not only does it have a strange installer script, but a strange directory structure also. 3g also is partly working.
So basically it's of little use.

Could You provide the MD5 just to check if the download is correct (it is very slow)?
Thanks

I get one in a few minutes.
The issue, is the U.S. is shutting down all the file servers due to piracy. MegaUpload, MultiUpload (server end) Now all that's left are the slow ones. Took me 45 minutes to download today.
MD5 df253e3f8825197c08a1f0a0b8c24a81

Yeah, its a pain in the bum alright, some of the slower ones already have "removed or taken down because of copyrighted material" messages coming up (deposit files)... A couple have the servers offline - upload king and upload here.
This is gonna be a major pain in the bum if the close down or lock file sharing sites, and the sites themselves may end up locking things down and removing anything they see as copyrighted material, even if its not....
Took me 10 minutes to download an 8mb kernel... I'm gonna end up a bald man before I get this rom....
And then the download stuffs up and I have start ALL OVER AGAIN.... Then to add insult to injury I have to wait 20 minutes.....

I'm not quite that bad off (still have all my hair)!
I'm going to look around for some Russian servers. Or something. I noticed one other place, but I have to find it again. They'll probably shut it down also soon.
Next thing you know, they'll shut down GitHub, and all dev comes to a standstill.
Also, I noticed today, XDA is almost at a complete stop. And I can guess who's responsible for THAT!

It's running now, needed to format it to make it work.
Didn't have to format when i was installing v3.2.
Thanks for the help

I think there's going to be a "knee jerk" re-action to the mega upload affair.... Be a REAL pain if we can't continue doing what we want with our devices...
Shame too, just getting good with the new A501 roms coming out...
Hate I might need to revert to stock to pick up ICS upgrade because the chefs can't share their flavours...
Chefs are great for sharing these awesome roms....

Well, I just know enough to make me screw things up
I found another place. 30 min download, But you have to give your e-mail for the link. Not really an issue. 3 more servers went down today.
Seems all that's left, is the small file hosts, and they're starting to limit file size.
I suspect, some serious **** will hit the fan in the next coming week, The US can't keep going on this crusade forever. Otherwise, there won;t be a site left except "foxnews" and Facebook.

IS there a Kernel i can use for overclocking?
Using CPU Master i can only choose 1000MHz, had it overclocked to 1.4GHz with the previous ROM.

No problem and glad it's running.
Not sure what is going on, but in past 6 months, it seems like we now have to format things. I didn't in the past, but now I must.
Well, it is 2012, so things change.
If you have issues with the Rom, it is pure stock HC 3.2.1. I changed nothing in it. Only SU and busybox and removal of the bootloader blob and recovery. So if a game doesn't run, there is nothing I can do about it. It's an Acer deal.
However, I do have one on my notebook, that has "0" acer stuff in it.

Issue formatting data under clockwork mod

Folks,
I've been running the ICS Kang project build without any issues (2.3) for the past while. Last night the tablet locked up on me and I powered it off by holding down the on/off button. When I went to turn it back on it now permanently hangs during boot. I can still get into CWM but attempting to wipe either the D. Cache or data hangs. Anyone got any ideas?

Can you restore a backup?
If you can't do anything in CWM then you might have to Odin back to stock....

I can flash a new rom but there appears to be something wrong with the data partition - can't wipe it and tablet wont boot.
You don't happen to have a link to restoring tab via ODIN? I was just browsing for that...

Scroll down to where is says Re-Stocking Yer System and follow the instructions.. Make sure you choose the correct download (7500 or 7510)

Thanks - I'll let you know what happens.
Its bizarre, flashed roms lots of times, never had an issue even close to this...

No problem... It should go nice and smooth and once it boots back up check in settings for system updates..

Well, thanks! That did the trick! I am back to the stock Samsung firmware and have already reflashed clockwork. I really don't know what went wrong in the first place, but I suppose that's what you get for living on the 'alpha' edge...
Thanks again! (BTW I did click the 'thanks' button ;-) )

BTW - for anyone interested or suffering a similar problem, in the end this required a full reset - all data was lost which sucked for me as I had all my backups on the device too (don't bother calling me stupid, I've already done it)....
I'm guessing some bug in the ICS KANG alpha screwed the partitions up which nothing short of a full reset could fix...

Sweet! Glad you are back up and rockin'...

phew!
I had exactly the same problem yesterday, and I thought my tab was completely fubar until I came across this post.
I was running the "official unofficial" CM9 snapshot for p4wifi, and before that I ran AOPK build 27, I think. I did not perform a full wipe before going to CM9.
I change roms on my tab very often to try to find the best, so something must have gotten messed up, but it's somewhat odd since it worked in the morning, and then when I came to work it had totally b0rked up on me.
Anyway, this post was a life saver although I lost all my data (didn't keep a titanium backup or a CWM backup on another storage than the internal storage. shame on me).
So - thanks alot raqball!

Never understood why people don't do a full wipe and expect nothing to go wrong.

Hehe, well, I usually do a wipe but this time I read somewhere that you probably didn't need to when going from aokp to cm9, since they are pretty much the same.
But..... Lesson learned

Understandable... but unless the Dev. says no wipe needed, I would always suggest it, even when it's virtually the same ROM, thread, Dev., etc...
At least it wasn't too hard of a lesson.
