Hi you guys, Im running rom Dark Revenge 4 and i also ran a previous rom as well. and im having issue using my phone when it comes to restarting it. Everytime i restarts it looses data like my contacts and sms's and other stuff. It starts up like the first like but has all the other apps that i downloaded on it. I tried everything but im not sure why its doing this but if anyone knows anything please let me know because ill probably go back to stock froyo.
had the same problem I think, its probably corrupt /datadata or Dbdata.. I had the problem because I did not let the rom I odined (EB01 for example) boot once after odin to do a stock data/cache wipe, I would odin CWR and wipe and flash a custom rom right after and data like contacts and messages would be lost every time I rebooted the phone.. a clean odin and one initial boot of the phone into the stock rom should solve it or use the ext4 formatter from the CM7/ComRom threads in CWM, then flash away what you want

ok i need help like asap my phone is really important to my life and i just did a totall wipe complete formatt when to dl09 then tried to get to the ed01 radio for the evil fascination rom. it didnt work so i dropped the project and re rooted using odin with the 2.2 full froyo and then odin-ed clockwork 3.0 lag fix red version then flashed the evil fascination rom. everything seemed fine and i set up my phone and everything but now my txts arent saving the settings such as display brightness vibration sounds lock screen pinlock etc arent saving and as soon as i shut down they go back. i tried everything like the adb code to add the settings file and disabling lagfix. i go to my mounts and storage and i keep seeing my data and dbdata arent mounted everytime i boot into recovery....could this be it is my fascinate not auto mounting them?....im going nuts and have been trying things all day and i need help!!!
My thought would be to take a deeeep breath...and start from scratch.
Re-ODIN DL09, then follow adryn's guide to get to EA28 (using the update.zip files), then get to ED01 the same way (using recovery and update.zip)
Then you can download community Rom onto your SD card, ODIN cwm, and immediately boot into cwm to flash comm Rom 1.3. Don't forget to clear cache and dalvik cache. Next reboot will take quite a while. Be patient.

If you phone is THAT important to your LIFE, you probably should load a stock rom and let the OTA come through, then just leave it alone. You will probably have less issues if you are running stock firmware. If problems persist, then return the phone for replacement.
Alright So I am new to this forum but Im not new to the scene. I cant figure this problem out after days of searching and restoring. So I just got my note last week been loving it coming from my old 4s. Anyways My problem is I did a fresh factory restore rooted with dags kernel (tried both stock root and Oc kernel). I have clockwork recovery installed btw. So usually everything goes smooth. I clear all caches phone boots up runs smooth, I install root then my basic apps. Now I was doing them one by one and restarting.
Well long story short. At random any one of these times I reboot the device I come back into the lock screen Ill unlock and it force closes everything and just keeps rerunning media scanner looping. (force close twlauncher calenders google sync etc like really anything usually its twlauncher thats first I click ok it goes back to lock screen freezes for a second then reboots media scanner. It doesnt find service or even attempt it. The only thing I can do is restore and try again. I have done this over 10 times just this past week. I have fixed permissions in both rom manager and clockwork. Though it was good until last night it just completely restarted on its own and when I booted back up it was force closing.
I even did a fresh format wiped everything reinstalled stock att unrooted Rom then rooted and I have to be afraid of my phone dying or just randomly crashing and that when I restart its not gonna make it back into gingerbread without a restore. Now this will happen whether I have no apps or some apps. I can seem to find anything triggering it. Is this a defect in the phone maybe? Should I restore to stock and exchange at at&t or am I missing something? Please help guys. Ive only been able to get about a day before everything force closes. And that is unacceptable for an 700 dollar phone when all these others are running smooth.
Did you happen to mess with any overclock values? I had the problem you explain only after I overclocked to much and it was unstable
Solution: put into download mode and flash back to total stock with odin and start over. It worked for me. Restoring backup did not work

It is a problem with CWM. You should look for and download darkside super wipe. If I were you I would probably flash the stock Odin tar and start fresh. Make sure you install the latest CWM.. I believe beta4. You should not have to reboot your phone after every new app install.
Use the super wipe from in CWM (install from zip) and then use Odin to get back to stock.
You most likely have an older version of the CWM, I don't think anyone has reported any problems with beta 4 and force closing issues.
I have CWM 5.0.2.7 on here. I dont have to restart everytime I install. I was doing it to see if there was a certain app triggering it thats all. Cuz if the phone goes off and reboots to lockscreen thats when the FC happens. It never happens while Im actually in use. First time this happened it was stock clock speed and its happened whether its 1.83 or 1.56 or stock rooted rom. And I had tried both restarting stock att rom with bloat and from my first backup after odin root.
Where do i find beta 4? I originally got this cwm from rootgalaxynote.com
Nevermind I found it I pulled a n00b. Ok Imma give that a try right now I see this is older version so HOPEFULLY thats it. Thanks a bunch Ill check back in after to let you know. Pretty crazy in the back of my mind I felt like CWM was the only thing I didnt check out.
Stuck in firmware upgrade encountered an issue. I cant do anything Odin wont write the stock firmware back on after wipe. What do I do? No cwm or anything phone just boots to telling me to restore with kies?

The version of CWM you were using was most likely for the international Note and therefore incompatible with the Note you have.

Just for Clarification
I too had the TwLauncher issue and tried clearing the Dalvik cache, cache, etc. This then sent me into a boot loop into recovery. (My CWM is the 5.0...version too). Tried the restore, no luck, wipe, no luck etc.
My PC doesn't see the phone, so I need to basically start the root process over again and install the Beta4 CWM. Am I understanding correctly?
I have the same problem and its driving me crazy. Can some one please help me out step by step Im new to this any help would be gratefully appreciated
I am trying to flash into this custom ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766999 on my ATT galaxy s3... the first times i tried it it hung indefinitely at the updating android applicatoins screen after installing.. I was successfully able to restore from my nandroid fortunately.
The third time, I booted into the OS but it started hanging when i was signing into my google account and never let me open any applications. Then when I reboot it it just hung at the samsung screen forever.
I don't know what im doing wrong, I am clearing data and cache and then flashing from the SD drive then rebooting. Am I the only one having this problem? Should I try another rom and see if that works?
This is my first time flashing a ROM

i would restore my nandroid and see if all is well, if so, try a wipe of cache, dalvic cache, and factory reset, then try flashing the rom, if that fails too, try a different rom.
It seems based on the official thread that many users experienced the same problem flashing to 4.0 from stock.. Have to go to 3.0 first and then 4.0 (see the thread I linked, last couple of pages)...
Posting it here in case I wasn't the only one who didn't read the whole thread.
Hi Guys,
I think the internal memory of my wifes phone is dead. Her phone all of the sudden turned off, then it was stuck in a bootloop. I tried to play back a nandroid backup but I always got an error message that the data partition was not being wiped... I used Odin then to flash back to stock and do a repartitioning of the phone. Odin works fine, then the phone reboots trying to apply the new rom, but it stops, telling me that the data partition again could not be formatted.
Is the nand-flash broken or is there a way to make it work? I can only use the download mode now, or use the regular 2e recovery... any tips are highly appreciated.
With the influx if new inexperienced vibe users I must ask, does your device have a stock front facing camera?
Paranoid, sitting in a deep sweat...
Lol,
no it does not, it is really the Vibrant T959 not the V not anything else. I am used to flash custom roms. It happened before, even playing Nandroid backups back, most of the time I had to do it twice, since data partition could not be mounted... 2nd try always worked and that was only for this specific phone. I simply guess the flash memory is corrupt...
We've seen some of this.. what rom was she on that fc'd and what rewrite odin files are you flashing? Are you familiar with the encryption Bug?
She was using the Passion Rom, v13.1 with Touchkernel 8.2 and the data.fix.
The phone had this problem like 3 times already. It simply shuts down, when you turn it back on, bootloop. Only thing that helped was playing a nandroid backup back. When doing this, nandroid already had problems mounting the data partition, so I had to flash it twice to go through.
This time, the 3rd time, the phone told me about a failed data encryption... this time, no nandroid backup is working, due to failing data partition.
When I Odin back to Elcair, I use the PIT file that comes with the AIO Toolbox and the Elcair Rom for Odin. I set the phone into download mode, Odin gets a connection to my phone. Then i select the PIT and PDA files, enable re-partition,autoreboot and F.reset time. I flash, everything works fine, Odin is done, the phone reboots, but then I get the red error message telling me that formatting the data partition did not work.
I did read about that ICS bug and about the workaround, but this kinda only works if you still have a working phone? Or did I get something wrong?
Yep. Sounds like EU bug. You'll find lots of info on that and things to try to get around it.
I'd go to Google and type in: XDA Samsung Vibrant encryption Unsuccessful and see what it brings up.
Happy trails and good luck!
Not sure if it is EU, sounds similar. Hers the work around guide

I normally don't post unless I've exhausted every other option.
But this issue I am having has completely baffled me, and I really have exhausted every thing I know.
I was going through a rash of flashing roms on my I9300.
After finding an issue downgrading from 4.2.2 back down to 4.1.2. I Odin back to stock... so I though ok lets have another go at it.
However... Every ROM I flash will not boot (ie stuck @ Samsung I9300 screen). The flash goes well, MD5's are all ok, and I made sure to wipe data and cache like I've don't 500 times b4 on a dozen different phones.
I've even tried keeping the stock rom, simply rooted and just flashing another kernel both speedmod and siyah for 4.1.2... no go... no boot. I'm not quite sure what the issue is as it boots just fine on stock.
Any opinions?
Did you do a full wipe?
(Factory reset, Format system, cache, data and preload)
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium HD app
Yep, full wipe each time, I even went so far as to format internal SD from CWM, just in case there was anything lingering.
did you try a mega wipe (will erase anything besides ext. sd)?
did you try to run a custom rom with stock kernel (as I understand stock rom & kernel are working?)?
Yep everything has been wiped down to the core.
And yes stock rom runs fine, and boots fine right off of odin, and even after running CF-Root.
I only get this no booting issue when trying to flash any other rom, even ones that I've previously flashed today b4 my first odin back to stock.
It def has something to do with the soft brick I recovered from earlier today, but I'm just not sure how or why, since I wiped everything and re flashed with odin.
Must be missing something tho.
Edit: Will try Flashing UltimaRom again with default setting and stock kernal see if anything changes.
Ok well i'm not really sure what I did, but I wiped everything again, from data to cache, to preload.
Reflashed ultimarom, this time on stock kernel, and whalha! Boot!
Then went back and flashed Siyah 1.8.9, and that booted ok aswell.
Not quite sure what the problem was but it seems to have been fixed.
Maybe phone was just being moody after all the flashes today!
Thanks for your help!
