Hi everyone,
I am currently having a problem with ROM manager (or me). Recently I was in the process of of using the auto-update feature of cm 10 and after the reboot from the root menu the phone would periodically restart without warning when using apllications, none of which were specific. I then attempted to roll back to previous version of CM 10.1.3 from 10.2-20131102. After rolling the ROM back the phone boot screen would indefinitely cycle, I then cleared the cache, both partition and Dalvik in attempt to reload. Here is where the fun part happens, after all of which the phone (Samsung GS3 Sprint.) would still have the same symptom, i attempted to reload a back-up from ROM Manager but it does not register on the list(there are none available) however the back-up data is stil stored on my sd card and I can still see the them when browsing. I have attempted to go back through the boot menu and manually installing the back-ups but to no avail. I would really like to have my back-up restored so I don't have to reload about 100+ non market apps.
Any help would be appreciated,
Steve.
P.S. Also it sucks that it had deleted GAPPS, so the google market will not load. I however had a apk downloaded of ROM manager (not premium/ and the latest CWM) No matter what I have tried I have been unable to reload my back-up

Hi I just sold my vibrant. Before selling it I flashed to stock from CM7 and back to Bionix.
Since I moved to stock I'm unable to install apps via the market.
We keep getting an error even before starting the download that there's not enough space to install this item.
It's unrelated to the account (We tried my account, her account and a third party)
I reflashed stock 3 times (twice via the Vibrant toolbox, and another time using ODIN downloaded directly from one of the guides), checked the md5sums.
I managed finally to get clockworkmod/rom manager on the device by discovering that installation via the web (market.android.com) works.
Installed bionix. still the same error, formatted all data, removed sd-card, repartitioned the sd, factory erase and more... Nada. I'm at loss.
(Well I didn't try reinstalling bionix. Maybe I'll try that)
The error stays the same all through the different roms, the formatting.
HELP.
EDIT: I managed to figure out what I did wrong. Writing here in case anybody else bumps into the same issue.
While using the phone under CM I repartitioned sometime earlier the application partition to 4GB. For some reason CM7 is able to handle such large partitions. (I suppose it has to do with the filesystem they use).
When moving back to stock, the internal SD is NOT repartitioned, and stock is unable to report correctly the size of the partition to the market app, thereby preventing it from even trying to install. When you install from the web, the market app does not check for space before trying to download.
So I solved it by moving back to CM7, repartitioning to 2GB which is supported by stock and older ROM's (Bionix in my case), and then going back to stock, and back to Bionix.
Now it works perfectly.
Hope I helped someone at some point in the future.
My wife's phone started having major force close issues on CM7 #105 the other day so I decided to go back to stock and bring it back up to date with #142. I can get it back to stock no problem and root it too. When I try and put any other custom rom on it it will not boot. It just sits in a loop on the kernel screens. I tried 2.2 roms that had previously worked on it and even backed it all up and completely wiped the internal memory card. I am at a loss. It runs ok on the stock 2.1 rom. Obviously I would like to get it up to 2.2 or 2.3.4. I tried running Titanium backup on the stock rom to at least get her data back and it will load and start the backup then just lock trying to restore the first app. Has anyone else ever seen this?
have you cleared the mounts?
format cache, data and system ( under mounts and storage in CWM )
lots of ghost files hang out there
Yeah, I have cleared and cleaned about everything. Could it be a hardware problem?
I even go in and delete any folder, containing anything that had any possible data from rooting / flashing..
voodoo, downloads..
sometimes when having issues, I take out sim and Sd card when flashing

Hello XDA
(Please tell me if this is the wrong forum for help)
So, I was plodding along happily with CM7 on my Optimus One, then I decided to Nandroid backup and flash a CM9 alpha ROM here.
Once I wiped user data through amon_ra recovery, I flashed it and it worked fine (except I was on old baseband, so GSM didn't work).
When I decided to Nandroid back to what I had previously however, BAD THINGS HAPPENED.
All the user apps didn't show up in the app draw. All the widgets had a problem. The CM7 theme had vanished. Even the google apps had vanished.
I tried to reflash the Market but it didn't work and was still missing.
I was able to Nandroid back to the ICS alpha rom and it worked fine.
I then tried to restore the stock LG firmware through the official updater app. It refused to boot, getting stuck at the ANDROID logo.
I then had to manually flash Clockworkmod recovery through emergency mode. I then proceeded to Nandroid to my CM7 save. Which booted, but still had the same problems. (I flashed amon_ra from there so I could use my other backups)
All the normal functions work properly eg. Camera, USB, ADB, GSM, 3G, Data, web browsing.
I also noted that everything is sitting normally in the data partition when looking through ADB, but not through File Manager, is that normal?
Help, please?
Thanks x 1000000 in advance
Titanium Backup?
Can't get it installed.
Well, it is installed, it's just unusable.
I can't get the Market so I can't try and install it.
And attempting to install it's APK with File Manager results in "Application not installed"
Okay, I seem to have figured it out, while I had this problem, my dalvik-cache was inaccessible as a folder. I deleted it in ADB and recreated it.
It was because when I wiped user data to flash ICS, it also wiped the SD-EXT partition, which my dlavik-cache was on, that was not backed up.
Hey guys.Im kinda a noob, so bear with me. I have a SGH i747 (att galaxy s3) and I rooted it on my mac using motochopper. I backed up all my apps and system data with titianium backup to my SD card, and i also backed up my stock ROM to my internal storage using ROM Manager. I then downloaded liquid smooth using my phones browser, and then I selected it within ROM manager and clicked "reboot and install' (keep in mind, i didn't wipe memory or anything) So it was stuck at the boot screen. Then i realized what i did and went and wiped data/factory reset, dalvic cache, and the other cache, within Clockworld mod recovery (vol up + power + home). After that, it worked, but only to find that all my apps were gone, and the play store and browser app didnt work. so basically softbricked however I can make phone calls and text (lost all contacts). Then i went into cwm and tried to restore my phone, at first it came up with two backups (neither of which had the name I named my backup) but said no files found and then when I mounted my storage, the bottom one said md5 mismatch but the top one worked. the top one would work for about 6 min then while it was restoring data it would reboot into liquid smooth and i would have like 3 apps i didnt have before (other times i would get stuck at the boot screen). I also tried restoring it right after I wiped data/ factory reset and cleared the caches, but then it would get stuck at the liquidsmooth boot screen. Tried pretty much everything.
I just want my phone back the way it was before root or anything, with all my data. But I backed up all my stuff besides apps to KIES, so willing to reset it to stock firmware if possible
need all the help i can get. thank you all very much
I was running AOKP 4.3 and downloaded the latest 10/30 update. I flashed in CWM recovery and everything took as normal. I wiped cache and dalvik and then rebooted. Apps updated as normal and lockscreen presented. I unlocked and immediately received two force closes (timely & swype) if I click them or not, if I unlock or not, the phone will crash and reboot every 6 or so seconds. Luckily, if I'm quick, I can reboot into recovery. I am in CWM but my external SD card won't mount so I can't load anything onto it and attempt a new flash and the only rom file on my internal SD is the one that got me in trouble here. I've gone back into recovery and attempted to wipe data/factory reset/etc. and nothing changes. Internal storage won't mount when I'm connected to my computer with a cable.
I don't mind losing everything and starting from scratch. I've tried to seek out my own info but there is SOO many threads and videos and I don't know where to start. Can someone please tell me the most efficient way to get back to a clean start? I was on JellyBeans from 1-22 and looking back that was probably more my speed. I shouldn't have tried to switch to 4.3 at all. I was able to run AOKP for about two months without issue but I seem to be out of my element here.
Can anyone smarter than me please take pity on me here? Sorry to waste your time as well.
Try just wiping the system, reflash rom and gapps. I think this keeps your apps in tact, if just not just use tb and restore. Otherwise full wipe sounds necessary, but not horrible. Just restore everything with tb
