Data Wipes on Reboot - Fascinate Android Development

I can't understand what is going on, but when i reboot my phone, occasionally it wipes my FOTA, DATA, DATADATA and CACHE. I have experienced this with and without voodoo. Using a the Blue Rom and Clean Rom also yielded the same result. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have with no roms everytime i reboot it makes me go through all of the standard startup things(backup assistant, etc)

I had this problem as well. Turns out that the problem was a voodoo uninstall that did not uninstall correctly. Happened when I tried to install the very first voodoo last weekend. After numerous attempts to fix the answer was to use the instructions to completely uninstall voodoo.
You cann find them in these forums. Sorry I can't post link.
Use manual uninstall instructions even if you don't have a voodoo kernel installed. Don't forget the step to wipe at the end.
This solved my issues.
Good luck.

Flash of ROM wont save settings?

ive flashed back to Stock and then added different roms and everyone ive gone back to after stock, the settings of Anroid System in Settings is 0. the problem is that everytime I reboot the phone, all my settings aren't there anymore such as volume levels I previously set up or even the selection of keyboard - how can I fix this?
I've had this problem too.. a reboot of my phone on any custom rom always wipes my contact list, settings, messages, and apps but keeps my wallpaper and wifi and google info... I've always wondered why and if there's a way to fix it

when I get to a computer will give this a try, thanks.. i've noticed an occasional "error mounting /data" when wiping in CWR but payed it no attention since everything works fine when it boots up on first install
edit: im not using any voodoo kernels or CWR so i don't think that ext4 formats gonna work for me.. however it seems my /data and /datadata corruption problems stem from a simple mistake: not booting into the stock rom once first before odin-ing CWR

Lol I'm going threw that crap now. Did u fix it?
Skip the ext4 part do all of the odin part of the tutorial
seemed to fix it for me.. time will tell if the fix sticks, thanks guys
edit: yeah I odined debloated/deodexed EB01, let it do its own data wipe on booting then powered off. I then odined CWR, booted straight into it, did the usual data/cache/dalvik wipe and flashed ComRom 2.0 and let it boot. I then booted into recovery and flashed the 2.1 patch right over it with no wipe. I let it boot up and presto!! no problems after 2 days, it even keeps data after reboots!! problem solved for me

Personally, when I have issues with a ROM:
I download the zip again (put it on in the sdcard folder)
reboot into CWR
wipe the cache
go to advanced and wipe the dalvik cache
wipe the system
go into format and ensure the wipe /system
install the rom
let the phone boot, don't touch anything, just go watch a tv show or something, (15m+ to be super nice)
reboot the phone, enter your information/basic settings, when it's done with all that, i let it settle again and reboot it before installing any apps or playing with the market
i've found that this is the "safest" way to install a ROM.
do you need to be this anal retentive? no.
will skipping these require you to re-install the rom again? occasionally, but not always
as always: most ROMs have their own installation instructions that should be followed!
Multi-Quote didn't work for me for some reason, but I was referring to @Zeej's instructions.
I agree here! This always get's the job done for me! I haven't had ANY 10.6 bugs, but I do like that it can be flashed right over top of previous v10 versions instead of having to worry about titaniumbackup etc... to reinstall everything!

Help!!! All apps force closing!!!

Hi. I'm running MIUI 2.3.2 and I like it alot. But every once in a while all my apps will force close and they wont stop. I've had to Odin back to stock and flash it all over again like 3 times! I haven't gone a full week without it doing that. Everytime I flash it I wipe dalvik...wipe cache partition & everything but iit still does it. Can someone please help?
I also flashed a new modem but it was compatible with miui cm7 would that be the problem? I didnt wipe anything for that. Was I suppose to?
I also use the miui controller mod to put my clock in the center. Didn't wipe for that either. Would that be a problem?
Please let me know. Thanks.

Have you tried going into cwm and fix permissions?

I did that when it did it the first & second times but each time I did it it would work properly for a few days then everything would force close again.

Sometimes restoring app data across different "platforms" (that is) -- backing up apps and data then restoring over and over again, leads to this sort of problem. I rarely have this issue itself come up, but usually if clearing the caches and going and manually clearing the data doesn't do the trick, I have to just uninstall the problem apps and reinstall fresh.

[Q] Anyone have any tips about this?

Now my head i about to explode
Anyhow, I have an annoying problem.
Before the upgrade to XXALF6 I noticed no problem other than the known drainage of the battery in idle mode.
I rooted and flashed a ROM and it was ok.
But I got sick of the ROM and I hard reset the phone.
No problems.
Then I upgraded to XXALF6 - still unrooted and all.
First thing I notice is that the phone is lagging a bit now and then. Then when I sent and recieved an SMS or two the phone hung and rebooted.
I seems that happend because when vibration was active.
Also there was a new message saying "com.google.process.gapps" stopped working. And that came up again and again.
As far as I could find online that had to do with syncing the calendar and it should help to clear calendar cache in the phone. It did not.
Then I rooted the phone, just "CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4", no other ROM.
Now the problem was even worse and also the sound stops working on and off all the time.
I tried to find the "com.google.process.gapps" with a file explorer with no luck.
I do find it in ROM Toolbox but its not possible to see the where on the phone the file is even there. Also its not possible to uninstall or even kill the process.
I did notice there seem to be doubles of some apps that I didnt notice previously to flashing CF-Root this time.
And I recall the new guide never mentions to wipe any phone data whatsoever during rooting the phone, and now I am thinking that maybe that should have been in the guide?
Anyhow.. appreciate ANY tips at all, Im so sick of this for the moment ^^
Go to cwm recovery, wipe cash, wipe dalvik cash, wipe data/factory reset, then go to mounts&storage, format system. Then put your phone into the download mode and flash ROM again with odin. This should give you a nice and clean install,without any force closes..

I did wipe all things, cache, Dalvik, battery and user data with CWM.
At the moment it seems the phone is quite okay actually! The only thing left is SU.
U think I have to format system as well? What else would really be "cleaned" out that wasn't allready with the wipes?
Trust me,some of the devs insisted on formating system before flashing their custom roms,and I did have a bunch of force closes,until I decided to go their way and fully format the phone. It then installs everything from the scratch,so there's no way anything to go wrong.. give it a try,and report back... btw. make sure that you DO NOT restore any of the system data,if you use TB

Yeah I pretty much learnt same way as predja it is always better to do full system wipe, it is not always necessary with some roms but if you do it you won't come across the problems you have as often.

[Q] Freezeing with Siyah 4.1.5 and stock 4.0.4 help Plz

Since i have rooted and installed the Siyah Kernal, i am experiencing random crashes where apps stop working and the screen goes black for a minute and everything reloads again like as the phone has been restarted. i used a fresh made recovery and everything was ok but i had to reload everything from scratch. it has happened again but this time i can not even get past my pattern lock screen before it crashes and freezes. therefore i cant titanium backup my apps.
i have tried
- Boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- reboot phone
I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.
just in case it matters am using go launcher and just before the phone went funny i was browsing and using apps fine. however today i did use extweaker app and ticked the option to force usb storage, if this makes any difference
thanks.
i was wondering has anyone else had this problem and is there any ideas on why this may be happening.
it may because the phone is trying to do something that is causing a conflict. I believe the only way you are going to resolve the issue is to do a factory reset, to unfo the issue with the force usb storage.

Thanks. For the reply. I was wondering what would be the best way to factory reset with out loosing root but giving me a fresh 4.0.4 with root also should i flash the latest siyeh kernel or stick with what i have. i am running ok at the moment after flashing a recover. but am paranoid it just going to get stuck and freeze on the lockscreen again. this could be a big problem if i need to make a important call or somthing. sorry for spelling mistakes written on my phone
editm i used galaxy s unlock from market. i dont want to loose this either
also most times i install a new app the whole screen just sticks and i have to reboot then it becomes fine again. any help would be appreciated.

Might be worth deleting the .siyah folder and then booting into recovery, flash a kernel cleaning script then siyah or whichever kernel again.
