Not long ago I started a thread about how good this phone was and how I have never had a problem...….ironically....I just broke it
I hadn't installed a new rom in over a year, so I updated TWRP to the latest, took a full backup, and installed the firehound rom, after the install the phone booted to a pure black screen, like screen off black, so went back to recovery, wiped it and restored my backup, only now when it starts I get a screen of text in another language have no idea, but there is a button I have no choice but to press, when I do, it reboots to recovery and does something and I noticed it wiped data, then booted again back to the same screen of foreign writing....the first line says encriptacao sem exito.
in recovery it says something about krypt keeper I think it was
anyone have any ideas?
What version of twrp ?? Maybe your backup has become corrupted and you will have to do a clean installation, even having to format the internal memory. Once I backed up a rom along with the pin code and after installing a rom and did not like it, to return the backup my device simply did not unlock even though entering the password correctly.
Thanks for the reply, I fixed it this morning. I know about not making backups with passwords and stuff set so always take them off before a backup, not sure what TWRP version but it is the latest as of yesterday. and the backup was taken with and restored in the same version right before flashing. I think somehow my internal storage had been encrypted, as you said, I had to wipe everything internal and formatted data, then installed new rom and all is good now, luckily thanks to the google overlords, nothing of any importance was lost as it is all backed up to them, only thing is it takes a little longer to get all my apps back after losing my titanium backup flashable user apps zip. but oh well haha.

First time I'm posting so hey.
I just bought a HTC Hero today and decided to load a custom ROM onto it.
I flashed it fine, and installed modaco earlier (file name: 2.8-update-hero-modacocustomrom-core-signed).
So when I powered it back on, it looked like it worked fine, but I must of went wrong somewhere.
The phone will boot up, stay on for like 5 seconds, and then restart. When it comes on, I can't do anything cause it freezes on the lock screen then just restarts.
I'm pretty sure I messed up by putting that ROM on a t-mobile UK Hero(which I unlocked). I aint sure as I'm only new to this.
Any advice on how to fix this?
did you do a phone wipe before installing the custom rom?
I formatted the SD card.... I think before I flashed it.
Then just put the ROM on the root of the SD card.
See it looked like it done everything fine with the ROM.
I held in the home/power buttons, loaded the boot menu.
I did a "Ndroid back up" (did I spell that right) - so I could restore in case something like this happened (which I did, since I need my phone lol), then picked "SD Choose", picked the modaco ROM and it seemed to install fine. Took a few minutes. Install complete. I rebooted the phone.
Then it loaded the normal boot screen, and would literally last only 1 second and freeze on the lock screen saying no signal, then it would reboot. And loop this pattern.

A wipe has nothing to do with the SD card. It is essentially resetting your phones internal memory back to "factory" defaults. I take it you have a custom recovery image, as you mentioned making a Nandroid backup - you will find an option to wipe there.

So if I wipe the phone before hand and then upgrade it should be fine?
If I do a nandroid back up, will I still be able to roll my phone back if it fails?
A wipe now may fix your problems with you needing to upgrade again.
My suggestion would be trying this first - if it doesn't help, restore your nandroid backup, wipe, and apply the new ROM again.
Regards,
Dave
Cheers mate.
After the wipe, I re-installed the ROM and it works perfect.
Thanks again.
So today I was trying out a Sense version of froyo on my hero, didn't like it as im way too used to launcherPro now anyway I made a Nandroid backup yesterday, did a restore using amonRa recovery, it said the restore was successful... but
At first it didn't want to boot, just completely froze on bootscreen, then after a batt pull i loaded up recov again, wipes everything and then restored...
This time I actually fell asleep while waiting for the phone to boot, in the middle of the day actually , after I woke up the phone looked like the one i used to have but, nothing worked none of the apps that i had worked, half of them were actually completely gone, keyboard didn't work (scandinavian), only the stock ADW launcher worked...
Also when the phone booted it ran the setup wizard, just as if I would have done a fresh ROM install??? I had no contacts, no SMS, no pics, nothing
ISN'T NANDROID SUPPOSED TO BACKUP EVERYTHING and not just the core ROM files?
also if I remove my SD card I find my phone rebooting in matter of seconds :S
I really need help with this, I absolutely dont want to download all my ~100 Apps from the market, setup all of my 5 homescreen and ask all of my friends for their number again that would take weeks!
Try a full wipe, then restore the previous Rom
but that means that i'll have to install all my apps again, reset all my setting, everything... Its my last resort but I'd like to atleast know why this got so ****ed up? isn't nandroid supposed to create an exact image of the phone, and even be transferable to other phones of the same model ?
I'm really pissed of atm, I have put so much into personalizing my phone and now I have to go trough this all again maybe just wait for another ROM I'd like to use and just start over
If you did a nandroid your apps should be restored too : )
A full wipe doesn't touch SD, the SD contains the nandroid so it all should be there. The nandroid you restored sounds like it corrupted the Rom on the phone you didn't wipe. Always wipe before : )
I did a complete wipe and after that a nandroid restore, still nothing
I decided to try out one of the ICS ROMs today, so I did a nandroid to take a snapshot of my normal ROM setup. Normal procedure, right?
Cut to a few hours later when I try to restore my phone to its normal state using CWM. nandroid verifies the MD5 and successfully restores my phone to its pre-ICS state, but when I boot up, all my apps are gone. I get the grey Android package icon with "SD" superimposed on it for almost all my apps (including Market). When I try to launch one, an error pops up telling me the app is not installed. This persisted even when I wiped everything and re-restored from my backup. The strange thing is I have no removable SD card installed, so the apps couldn't have been moved as far as I know.
So, does anyone know what's going on here? Is this just a faulty backup or should I just cut my losses and start fresh?
Do a FULL WIPE. And try again. Report back
Done. I did a factory reset, wiped cache, and system. Didn't work—should I go the Odin route next?

Install official Samsung stock firmware then root and CWM recovery your nandroid .
jje
Try Appextractor from market. It allows you to extract apps (and more) from a nandroid backup.

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody. I managed to get things working again by Odin-ing back to stock and reflashing CWM recovery 4.0.1.4. Worked like a charm, apps included.
I only recently got into the whole rooting deal, but i followed the instructions precisely double checking and everything went along well , after that i installed most of the apps from here, made a full backup with titianium backup, but then i decided to try and install a custom rom, which was where i made my first mistake, i made a backup of the current(stock) rom and then went straight on to downloading cyagenmod 7.2 to try it out on my phone.
When i started the install i obviously had the pre install options, i only left the one check there which was wipe delvik cache i think figuring that was all i needed to do. Phone rebooted and the loading logo started but didnt go past it and after it had reappeared for 3 times the screen just went in a white screen with differently colored horizontal stripes, i thought my phone was now bricked, but i managed to turn it off and turn it back on and get into recovery mode. I tried to do a recovery which didnt do anything, after that i just selected factory reset thinking it will get me back to the stock rom, but instead CM worked and finally got past the loading logo, i checked in the CWM if i had the backup i had made before trying to install CM and it was gone.
I want to know what i have done wrong(i obviously have), how can i reverse it and how to install roms properly(preferably in simple language). I already found this thread.
Phone: LG Optimus Hub (E-510)
P.S. I am missing the Play store app, is this normal for CM?
1. You got into bootloop because you didn't do factory reset/full wipe (the /data partition wasn't wiped, files on this partition were from stock ROM and weren't compatible with CM) -> this is the reason why it booted after full wipe. Full wipe only deletes data, it will not restore stock ROM.
2. '... i checked in the CWM if i had the backup i had made before trying to install CM and it was gone'
Are you sure you made a backup? Or didn't you delete it?
3. For the Play store - CM ROMs ussually don't have Google Apps in them, you have to flash them after CM installation (look in the ROMs thread for Google apps/ GApps)
1. Thanks for the explanation, im defineatly going to keep in mind to wipe the next time i attempt to install a custom rom. Is the stock rom still in my phone or do i have to look online for one?
2. I belive you are right, i do remember wanting to do a backup, but i might have forgotten about it, i did one now so i can have something to go back to just in case.
3. Dont really understand this, can you please direct me to a thread for this? I tried doing the flash CWM recovery which didnt do anything, could i try using my backups from titanium backup to get the apps back on the phone? It would be quite a mess to get all of it downloaded again.
Edit: i tried installing google play downloaded from other sites and whenever i go into it, it asks me to add an account, but when i press yes, it just closes.

First things first. Before you do anything else you need to do some reading in order to understand the Basics of Android. Otherwise your going to get yourself in a bind again. In my Signature your going to see some links if your on a PC. You should check them out, they will help with answers to a lot of your questions.
I cant thank you enough, i was looking for something like this! :good:
I will have something to read in my spare time, as little of it i have trough.
Your welcome . Glad I could help.

MikROMs Since 3/13/11
Welcome to my nightmare part 3.
Everything started in this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...-ui-update-causes-brick-t3938799#post79711614)
Then I moved to backup issues (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/google-drive-backup-backup-t3940831)
Today I tried to restore my backup on other device to see if it's Google issue or my device only.
Turns out that I was able to easily restore sgs9 backup on Xiaomi note 5.
So no matter what I tried to flash on my device it's impossible do restore trough Google drive backup directly.
I made a stupid thing since I'm hopeless and nobody answers my questions as they don't exist anywhere in internet.
I took the Xiaomi and made twrp data backup of restored apps in hope I can restore it through twrp on sgs9+
Well it ended with bootloop.
Next thing was factory reset through TWRP and it helped a bit.
Passing welcome screen on sgs9+ I used another Gmail account with different backup and it showed up. So I did factory reset again as it was faster than ending the initial setup.
Now it bootloops constantly, I made a clean flash of lineage vendor and gapps and it doesn't help at all.
Wtf I'm supposed to do?
Flash stock Oreo trough Odin and start again?
I'm losing my mind as there's no way to get my apps and data back.
As it looks that apps backup made with my device doesn't work for this device only. No matter the software stock or lineage
