busybox installer failed on my phone too...it froze it, but then my phone just restarted, so i uninstalled busybox installer and titanium backup, because they are worthless in my opinion. i did a nandriod backup after i rooted instead.
why would you try and do a restore if the backup didnt work to begin with? or maybe i'm misunderstanding something u said.
i didnt know the back up worked or not at the time. is it normal for a backup to not work? any way it doesnt matter luckily i had attn1's froyo rom so i flashed that and know im running that instead. Only problem is that I have tofind all my apps and widgets again in the market ...

cant you go to your downloads history, or does flashing erase that too?

I tried to downgrade for the sake of battery, and I believe I've softbricked.
I did disable lagfix prior to wiping and flashing. Even checked in terminal.
I managed to boot once. Downloaded Titanium and restored my apps/data, then removed the "remove-lagfix"s and rebooted. Got the linda voice, then "execute", boot logo, and... nothing. Black screen, touch buttons lit up. Sounds like the softbrick I've read of.
So yeah. What do I do to restore my phone to working condition? I have no nandroids, but I've no issue with unrooting/restoring to initial system conditions/etc.
I'm on Snow Leopard, Macbook Pro 2010. I'll dual boot a Windows if I need to.
Thanks a ton for help everyone!

Wipe > Reflash
Probably would be best to put the disable_voodoo file back in before flashing again.
Arg... But I can't seem to mount the phone on a Win XP netbook OR my MBP. :/ Will keep trying.
Make sure you installed the samsung drivers for your pc. You can find the link in the Vibrant Bible
Well, scratch all this. I managed to boot normally by just wiping everything (again) then rebooting without flashing anything. Dunno why it didn't happen earlier... either way, I'm okay now.
Very strange. Bad flash/wipes I suppose.

same thing with me... I flashed bonix 1.6 and tryed to flash back to stock rom via the recovery in rom manager. well it failed. when it booted back up it looked like stock but a bunch of force closes would come up. tryed to reflash via oden but it would just boot to galaxy s screen then go blank with the buttons at bottom lighting up then nothing.
now after a couple tryes with different roms it says cant mount dev/block/stl10 on the stock recovery...
so im guessing i am screwed because i dont have clockwork recovery.

Would one of these different roms be eugene373s froyo that doesnt brick? Cause thats been fixing similar problems to yours.
Use odin to flash to that with repartition checked in odin. Then flash back to stock with repartition unchecked.

Thread moved to Q&A.
My tab is rooted, I have cwm 4.0.0.4 on the tab. I have been happily using TASK650 10 ROM. Today when I turned it on I had a garbled screen. Tried rebooting, get the same thing.
I rebooted into recovery and attempted to restore my latest nandroid back up. I got an error say the there was en error restoring \data.
I tried a couple other backups still had and got the same result. I now get no further then the boot animation. I was going to try factory reset/wipe etc and reinstall the ROM. After doing this realized I had deleted the zip.
So now I can't get my TAB to boot past the boot animation.
I have tried searching for a solution but I haven't had a lot of luck. If you can help or point me to a link or something, I will greatly appreciate it.
thanks
did you try wiping everything before restoring nand?

Yes, I tried that.
why can't you factory reset? Should boot fine to task10. Worst case, start over using odin.
Out of curiosity... Do u have a different version of CWM than the one u made the back up with? This happened to me last week. I had a different CWM version than when i made the back up so i got error when tryin to restore. I had to use odin

I tried a new rom out this morning (miui 1.12.30 {2.3.7} {1-1-2012}), liked the interface of the rom, but the phone started to heat up immediately. I need to do some more research of why this happened. So I decided to go back to Unammed via a nandroid backup. When restoring i get this error
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.

Are you sure you wiped data and cache. Also dalvic. I always flash miui twice also. That happened to me once before and I re flagged and all is well. The reason it is overheating is cause it stays at Max frequency ( CPU). Anyways check out the Miui thread in development if you want to try it again.
As far as your restore error, I don't know.
One time at football camp, I put my shoulder pads in my arse.
I may try miui again in the future, just want to get back where i was before. Thanks.

I assume you have UnNamed back and all is working normally?
That message most likely means the restore was looking for something that was not present in the backup because it was not there to back up in the first place.

Yes, everything seems to be running fine, I'm wondering if miui installed something that a nandroid wont write over. I also noticed in cwm i can use the power button to select the option i choose, actually i can use both the home and power button now. So something has changed in cwm i believe.

sdcard/.android_secure is the hidden folder where apps2sd puts apps. It might be specific to cyanogen mod and miui, but not sure.
It happened when you first made your nandroid backup via cwm. The other day when I did a backup I watched it and saw the error skipping sdcard cause of no . android_secure . It has to do with cwm not being able to do a restore backup to our external sd. If you go in your external sdcard dir you will see the android secure file. So if next time you want your apps just move the file over for the backup and restore

Brand new Samsung Galaxy Rugby from Rogers, rooted it and began removing bloatware via Titanium Backup. I backed up and uninstalled Samsung Home, then I uninstalled SNS 1.0 without backing up. One of these two are now causing my BRAND NEW phone to not boot up anymore. It just gets stuck at the Samsung loading screen.
I have gone into recovery mode and wiped data and factory reset, which will get me to the Android startup wizard, but after it's completed, it crashes and I get Android with no Home launcher. Completely unusable...
What can I do?! There doesn't seem to be any custom firmwares for this phone yet, so is there something generic I can use to put either stock Android on it or a custom ROM in place of this broken Samsung ROM?
I wish there was something I could do with the launcher backups in my TitaniumBackup folder on my SDcard. I *can* access that...
Thoughts? In desperate need of help...

No Nandroid backup. I know, I'm an idiot. The only thing I had installed on the phone after it was rooted was Superuser (obviously) and Titanium Backup. I can boot into recovery by holding Power+VolUp+Home buttons during power on, then letting go of the Power button after the Samsung Rugby screen disappears and reappears.
Resetting to factory in that mode (wiping /data) like I said before gets me back to the Android wizard like when you start your phone for the first time. I can complete the wizard but at the last step it crashes as it's trying to load the Samsung Home app which isn't there. Then I have no launcher, just a notification bar at the top (which I can use to turn on USB mounting). As soon as I reboot it though, it won't let me into the phone at all. Just gets stuck at the Samsung glowing loading animation.

Would LOVE to try this, but I after extensive googling (and XDA's search is temporarily down right now) I can't find a stock firmware for this phone. This is my best hope of fixing my phone right now!
Hello, I have a major problem with something that should have been a minor project. I used System Recovery to do a backup of the phone. The only thing I can think of there that I might have done differently is save the backup to the external SD card, instead of internal. After the backup completed, I went to reboot the phone and it's stuck on the Motorola splash screen. I tried to pull the battery and go into that general Android Recovery in order to wipe data and try again, but I just get the Android with an exclamation point over his head. I've tried booting it without the SD card too. I was using CM7
Can anyone help please!
EDIT: A couple hours later, since it was my work phone, I had to do something. I reverted the SBF, re-rooted and tried to restore from the backup I made and the same thing happened. I'm going to try to revert to my previous backup. I have a full backup from Titanium Backup if it comes down to it. The phone was working fine, I just can't figure out why it blew up on me after I ran the backup. Grr..

sounds like a bad backup. i always use external sd for nandroids and it has never had issues.i would just re-flash. as for stock recovery with andy with an exclamation , push both volume keys. should work regardless of what state the phone is in. i have had it completely unusable and it still worked.

OK - You mean to flash cleanly with CM7 and then restore from Titanium backup instead of my previous nandroid backup?
I'm slightly confused about that System Recovery tool, because first I had ROM Manager and it says that CWM is installed, but it doesn't work. Do I have to manually install that System Recovery APK each time I do stuff like this, or does it stay installed? And if so, from a powered off state, how do you enter it? Or do you have to boot up to Android and enter recovery mode from the app? Thanks.

yes i would try that. second, dont use rom manager. dont delete it either. but it doesnt work on our phone. the bootstrap recovery that you install would only need to be reinstalled if you delete cache in recovery. otherwise it should always work. hope this helps. im not completely sure exactly what you are asking.
try just restoring system part of backup, see if phone will boot, then restore user data
or reinstall cm7 and restore just user data

I should be fine now, thanks for the advice. I don't know why that backup blew up the phone, but it was sure an inconvenience haha! I just reflashed CM completely, and now I'm gonna roll out my Titanium backup. I don't have a lot of stuff, just the essential stuff for work, so it shouldn't take too long.
