Hey guys!
Yesterday my HD2 running ICS gave me some pop up saying it was installing an update. After that my phone rebooted n since i used link2sd a lot, my apps werent working, i also moved play store, i have to admit that wasnt too smart. Anyhow, after taht i did a factory reset with Clockworkmod Recovery n n boote everything again. At first it was aight but wen i installed link2sd again n the phone rebooted everything got messed up again. A sec ago i flashed the ICS rom again but nothing rly happened. Still there is no Ply store, so what shud i do?
Thanks in advance

If you have a good CWR backup restoring everything should bring you back know to working condition.
If not I would consider doing a brand new, clean install of the rom and link2sd. You could restore apps and data with Titanium Backup.

Task 29 shouldn't be necessary. When you say it disappeared do you mean the i on was no longer there? Did it show up on the all programs list? Did you look for it with a file explorer in /system/apps? Or maybe with ROM Toolbox?

Everybody lies, but it doesn’t matter since no one listens.

So lemme give more details then, i did a factory reset, it was there wen the phone booted again. But after another reboot it all disappeared, nothing there in the app list or anywhere else, after another factory reset teh same happened, then i flashed the rom again. It was there n after a reboot it again disappeared, i rly dont get why this was happening, anyhow, i made an icon to the store after another reset n it stayed there n now it works but some basic apps r missin. Also it keeps having random reboots.

I don't know link2sd - never used it. My limited understanding is that it allows apps to be moved to an ext3 or ext4 partition on the card, yes?
If you do a factory reset all connections to the sd-ext partition are lost. Technically, the apps and data are still there but nothing in your device knows it. There may be a way to place link2sd back in a new ROM to reconnect with the previously installed apps but I am not certain of this.
Does your ROM have a DataOnEXT install option? It may be a simpler and cleaner way to move the data partition to the sd-ext partition instead of link2sd.
The Play Store should be part of the ROM you installed. I have no idea how it can disappear if not removed.
Like I said, if the ROM has a DataOnEXT option I would look into that choice but in any event you will most likely end up doing a clean install if you cannot successfully relink your sd-ext partition.

It does, im using then NexusHD2 rom, the one posted by tytung. First i did a native sd install, i have a class10 card but it was very laggy, so i thot ima do a full nand one. I also thot of installing Jelly Bean, do u need to wipe anything before a fresh install or do i just flash the zip over it?

You need a fresh install, repartition your recovery, factory reset, then install the rom.
Coming to your earlier problem, i used to use link2sd but it gave me problems, the NexusHD2 ICS rom already has an a2sd script. I think the problem is that link2sd interferes with the a2sd script in place. My suggestion, DONT INSTALL LINK2SD! It gave me loads of problems, not the one you stated but still, apps wont go the ext partition and all that....
So install the rom again, ( remeber to clear cache too ) and use it without link2sd
ok, thanks, ima repartizion it, clear the cache n do a fresh install then. Thanks for the help guys

I have the cyanogens 4.0.4 rom installed on my G1, and i was wondering, if I install the cyanogen updater and decide to update it, will my apps, widget homescreen positions, and settings get erased?
I know it's a newb questions but trust me I search the forums and nobody answers that, which leads me to believe that everything stay in tact.
I just want to know this, because with donut released today, I want to know how to update if and when cyanogen throws out another rom.

CM Updater does not wipe, it just installs. Most likely you won't need a wipe ifyou go from one CM rom to another BUT just incase it doesn't load after say 30 mins, then you may need to wipe and reinstall. Goodluck.
Thanks for the clarification. In case I do have to wipe and clean install, is there any app that can save my phone as it is, with all the apps installed my home screen customized with icons, and all the settings intact?
I've read about some apps that do this put I think that just save the apps and not the phone state.

If you are running CM 4.0.4, you are probably running Apps2SD as well. What this means is that all your applications are saved to your SD card.
So, as long as you don't delete the ext2/3/4 partition on your SD card, all the applications you download will be saved. (Even if you wipe the PHONE)
EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood the question. If you want to backup the phone in its entirety, you have to do a Nandroid Backup through the Recovery Console (HOME + POWER on boot)
run backup for root users and a nandroid backup
because 4.0.4 is still cupcake with donut sprinkles, updating to full donut there is a very high chance u need to wipe....
all your apps will still be there if ur using a2sd
and if you run backup for root users before and after all your stuff should be fine
i assume you are waiting for cyanogens next rom before updating?
from what i have heard, you will have to have a donut rom (either the htc adp1 or one of his before the C&D)
in which case you will definetly need to wipe
backup for root is a life saver and a2sd makes it all a little smoother
good luck
I. I ve flashed my phone more than 50 times. Last Rom I tried was x 8 arc, and before I had minicm.. all worked fine..suddenly withx 8arc rom it stopped installing apps and when I try to go to settings -applications, it shows me every app but they all say computing and never shows the size of them. I try installing any apps but the installation bar continues endlessly. I repaired the phone back to SE Original and that way I can install apps and it shows me the size of them. I root it again installed minicm, new froyo 0. 20 and it happens the same.... no app install and always "computing" on application manager.. its really weird and i ve tried erasing everything on xrecovery and still nothing... anyone???
why you flashing ROM 50 times?? This is not good for your phone, you shoud format data and system and also cache in xRecovery and than repair with SEUS or PC Companion to get fresh 2.1 and root your phone and put xRecovery and CHOOSE a good ROM for your requirements, so you do not need to flash your phone with different ROM and brick your phone...
Did you try a wipe dalvik cache form xrecovery and did not solve app install issue ?

Yes my friend, I tried everything, factory reset before and after installing ROM, wipe cache partition, wipe battery stats and the rest. I went back to SE 2 times in a few hours and I then can install apps.. tried minicm, new froyo and still can't install apps and in in application manager (settings) they never stop "computing" and I when I try installing apps the installation bar goes on forever. I'm really puzzled and I can't figure out any solution since I went back to SE and tried it all over with no results.. f **k!!!!

are you using BaseBand 015? You must use 015 because 006 is buggy on custom roms...if you don't know what an X8's baseband is, XDA's search bar is your friend
I have a problem with custom roms too, except cm7, thats the only one that works good for me. After i install any other rom, i cant acces internet for some reason... I have baseband 015.

thank you so much!!! I had the same problem and I couldn't find the solution! Formatting SD worked!
Everything have worked fine until now..
Latest things i did was update firmware on the camera, then rebooted and the camera worked just as fine as before.
I had two framework-res.apk's that i have moded from my own frameworkfile in kitchen, i did try both out and they worked just fine before, i did rename them and hade both in my bluetooth folder on the phone.. one circle and one guage battery framework modfile.
I wanted to go back to the guagefile, so i copied the file (it was renamed framework-res..guage.apk) and pasted it in the framework folder on the phone, renamed it and now it seamed i had two framework-res.apk files... thought one would overwrite the other, but no it didnt. So i checked what file was oldest and deleted that and rebooted, now i cant get by the samsung logo have tried everything and it just wont go any further
Could anyone help me with what to do pleeeeeease ? i can flash with odin, and i have tried flasing kernels unsecure and original with no effect, please help me !! i really hope this phone isnt bricked now
Put phone in download mode or cwm and flash a rom. Use a stock rom made for your phone.
I would prefer not to flash a new rom as there is many things on my phone that i dont want to get wiped away. I have some movies in the camera folder that i havent made a backup for yet and i just cant live without them, if they are lost i could just as well throw away the phone

root it , then buy titanium backup from the market and backup what you want , then flash rom , then install titanium again , then reinstall back up , easy peasy
your phone will have what you want on it still and hopefully be working again
have a good day
flashing a rom shouldnt clear your mass memory mate , your videos etc should remain unless you use the android restore function in settings or format it via pc

sorry didnt read post properley my fault :-(
still flashing a new rom wont delete your mass memory files
it never has on mine , as the other user said , wipe , wipe cache , wipe dalvik cache , if this still doesnt boot then flash a rom of your choice it may bring it back fine and your mass memory should be intact
leomar2.4 / 2.5 / 2.6 / doesnt touch the mass memory files anyways so your videos would be fine and you would have one of the best roms going
No worries
As it is now i can only get into odin mode.. down volume,home button,power button and get connected to the odin flashprogram, that is the only thing i can do
So even if my pictures and movies are on phones internal sd-card it wont be deleted ?? i just need to know this before i do something major like new rom.
I have a external sd-card to and i guess that wont be effected, but i dont know about the internal sd-card
Can i flash a rom without do those wipe cleaning stuff i read about that seams to be important to do before flashing a new rom ?
If it is just the framework-res.apk file thats wrong, cant i flash a new framework file with odin ? if for some reason there was something wrong there.
What rom do you use now? Wiping data wipes everything, wiping cache and dalvik cache shouldn't delete any personal data.

Just flash a stock ROM with Odin.
It won't remove anything, it'll all br there.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Wipe will only wipe /data and /system which will be user and system apps and data.
You wont lose anything on the internal sd card and ext sd card.
You can always flash the same rom as you had before over the top which should fix the framework.
just flash non wipe rom from intratech topic, it will fix it for you
or boot into recovery, do backup there, flash new rom and then restore advenced only data in recovery
and as was mentioned before, reset/wipe/new rom through odin will not touch pictures/movies/music on internal sd card only apps and app setup with data will be erased

Thanks everyone for your help, you are really a great bunch of people here, so fast and very helpful, thank you all so much !
I must admit that my heart stopped for a moment when i couldnt get it restarted, forgot to breath but i did as you said only thing is i didnt flash a stock rom, i flashed a very nice rom called lightning and im much more happy with my phone now then i was before... in the end it was a good thing maybe that this happen to me today, otherwise i would probably never have gone from stock rom, now im glad i did it's faster and everything is better, and i could just now flash a new bootanimation that i couldnt do before, i tried the cool pc bios boot and im very happy with that, overall it feels like a new improved phone
Thanks everyone !!! Have a great eavning !
All you had to do was boot in recovery, and adb a stock frameworkres.apk to the phone and it wouldve booted fine! Or made a flshable zip that copies the stock frameworkres.apk and flash that through clockwork!
...and on the 8th day he created the SGS II!
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)

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.
Here is a story about me and my phone:
I'm using this rom for about 2-3 months and it's great!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817793
But when I was updating some apps with the Play Store I got error 492.
Googled it and I found a thread on XDA and it said that I had to clear some caches.
So I did that and a Dalvik Cache wipe and I fixed permissions.
But it ended in an endless boot. So wiped everything and I did as an extra a Task 29. I flashed my rom installed INT2EXT+. The first boot after I flashed INT2EXT+ something weird happened: The WiFi just didn't turn on. I just turned it on but the slider bounced back after 5 seconds. Reflashed still that problem. So here comes the question how can I fix it?
Wi-Fi issues are sometimes connected to too small system partition. Perhaps caused by bad blocks. Make sure your system partition is bigger than needed. I usually add 10/15 mb above what the rom requires

Did what you said but when I let it start up I just see just a FC of Settings that's it. :crying::crying:
I rebooted it several times en every time it boots up I see ''Android is Upgrading''.
did you do a 'wipe data' because although the partitioning will clear out all teh nand, there may be stuff on the sd-ext/fat that are left over. a wipe data / factory reset clears those out too.

That's because int2ex need its own script for wiping dalvik, using the one provided with CWM will cause bootloops: both of you can find the right one on the first post of croniccorey's thread. Just search for "Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool" then make it run from install zip from sdcard entry.

If you have int2ex installed then download and run that zip because if you use normal CWM wipe-cache-dalvik, you'll get a bootloop. this may help you?
