I have a problem. After finally talkling myself into rooting my phone I was able to pull it off sucessfully, almost. See I havent had service on my phone for 3 months. In that time I have enjoyed using it for wifi, e-mail etc. The phone always kept saying not provisioned a bunch of times but always kept functioning.
I installed cyanogen 7.0.3 (Ithink) last night and after it booted up I said "great I didnt break it" but right in the beginng when I tried to sign into my gmail (at the time already logged into my dads wifi) It wouldnt recognize that I am signed into a wifi. it just kept asking about a data plan. I dont get it.
1 year old Aria
Try going to Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile networks, and unchecking "Data enabled".
That was one of the first things I check. I got no idea why it won’t let me jump on internet or market even though I will see on my phone that I am connected to a strong wifi source. Then I'll use rom manager to restore back to 2.1 and my wifi will suddenly work again. It’s driving me nuts because I am having fun with cyanogen mod but the I’ll revert back to 2.1 because I have no internet
Try bypassing ROM Manager. In general there are all sorts of issues that can occur if you use ROM Manager to get to Clockworkmod on S-ON devices like the Aria. I'm not saying this is the actual cause of your problem, but it's one thing you can try.
Shut the phone off completely then do volume down + power button to get into Clockworkmod and try installing CM7 again.
Also, make sure you are doing a full wipe when you upgrade to CM7.0.3. You can't retain any settings from previous versions.
1) Boot into Clockworkmod
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache partition
4) Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
5) Partitions menu > format system
6) Install Cyanogenmod zip from sdcard
7) Install Google Apps zip from sdcard
8) Reboot
Parden my newb status for asking I'm learning quick. but after I go ahead with wiping all my data etc. do I keep super user status or do I have to download various boot drivers and root my phone again?
I also just noticed that as my phone was booting up from clockwork recovery it said at the end
"no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext" Maybe that could have been the prob?
Last question is I just bought a 8 GB sd a couple days ago, should I partition it while I am doing all this? Thanks alot for the help

Yes you will still be rooted. Clockworkmod will still be installed on your phone (which is what you use to install ROMs), and the ROMs that are available on this site (including CM7.0.3) are already pre-rooted. You shouldn't ever have to use Unrevoked again.

That just means you don't have an ext partition on the SD card. It's normal.
If you partition your SD card and dedicate a portion of it to an ext partition, you can use it for additional app installation space. The Aria's internal memory is somewhat limited so this can be helpful if you like to use a lot of different apps. You don't have to partition the SD card before installing the ROM, although doing it before installing a clean ROM might save you some trouble of having to back up anything from the SD card.
You don't HAVE to partition the card if you don't want to. It's only if you want some extra app space or not.
Great it worked. My WIFI agnolidges me. That was wierd.
Thanks alot for the help.
Hi,
I loaded Cognition 777 rc onto SGS2 i777 from the latest Cognition X2 beta 4 and got trapped in a com.android.phone force close-relaunch-force close loop. So I went back to beta 4, and loaded just the 11132011 kernel. That worked fine, so I tried loading C777 again. Same issue.
I am back on beta 4 with the 11132011 kernel and all's well. I have seen some discussion in other forums about dealing with com.android.phone FC. But I wonder if it is a c777-specific issue because I've not had the problem with previous Cognition revs.
Thoughts? Thank you very much!
Mike
I have that problem, too. I think we had to wipe it beforehand, but yeah, not sure...
Had the same issue when I attempted to flash from Serendipity 8 just to check it out. Problem went away after wiping from CWM then flashing.

Thanks to both of you. I wiped from CWM and then flashed - and it did go away. But it came back after I restored my apps and data. Tried restoring from CWM, then wiped again and restored with Titanium. I guess this latest rev conflicts with one my apps for some reason? I don't think I've got anything terribly exotic, but who knows?
I guess my options are: 1) load apps one at a time to isolate the problem child or 2) see if it goes away with the next rev ...
Don't restore all the data. Like, don't restore stuff like the phone application or some system data stuff related the phone. Call history and stuff is alright, but yeah, just go through it rather than just restoring everything.
What are you restoring? User apps are always good. System settings will cause problems. It sounds like you're restoring the call log or phone settings, use another app to backup sms and call log.
You two were right. I'd restored all apps and all data, including system data. That was the problem. It's all good now. Thanks for setting me straight.
One day for no apparent reason, boot-loop.
TWRP 2.2.2 installed and that still works.
Wipe cache & dalvik. No help.
Dirty re-flash exact same rom. No help. (Didn't expect that one to help of course but it's about the only thing left to try that doesn't lose data, and it's free and at least harmless.)
Nothing left to try that preserves data.
No recent backup. Oh crap. Months of txt's will be lost.
Make a nandroid backup with TWRP "just because". No idea what I might be able to do with it since the rom boot-loops. Do it anyway. The data I want to save is "in there somewhere some how".
Factory reset in TWRP. (IE: wipe data)
Boots fine. Empty new phone. Internal and external SD cards preserved, so pics/books/music all ok, contacts re-syncing from gmail. txts gone of course as I knew they would be.
Titanium Backup Pro > Menu > Extract from nandroid" > Dialer Storage
HOLY CRAP RESTORED!!!!!
Thank you TWRP!
Thank you TiBU!
Saved and restored my data AFTER rom was already in unusable boot-loop.
That is all.
nice info
so whatever happen just do Nanddroid backup

Mine did the same thing while I was travelling - was very annoying. Thankfully I had a very recent backup to work from, as well as a ROM in memory to be able to re-flash. Was weird and out of the blue.

Nandroid backups require a reboot, which is annoying
Thankfully, when my phone started boot looping yesterday, I thought to make a backup before restoring a (month and a half!) old nandroid image. Had to get it working again, obiously, but so much happens in a month and a half. I was hoping to hack the backup to turn off Wifi, which I assumed was the problem because the last thing I did before the boot loop was enable it*, but fortunately I happened upon this thread. All I had to do is restore my new data+apps from the nandroid image over my old, working backup and I'm set. Fixed forever (hah!).
Let this be a lesson, kids: root your phone (even if you use a stock ROM like me!) and use the amazing community-created backup tools. They'll save your life wallet and data
*Possibly related: http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-lte/212245-boot-loop-noooo.html - lot of people there basially saying they enabled Wifi just before things hit the fan.
I had the "just enabled wifi" boot loop once too some months ago. That time I had a clue because the home screen would almost come all the way up before the reboot and I could see the wifi icon on the notifications, and of course I had just been trying to connect to an access point when it started.
That time I managed to get in and disable wifi just before it caused a reboot. Took about 3 tries, trying to get into settings as soon as possible during boot up. But it worked and I didn't need a backup that day. I think that was still on the original shipped stock rom.

Alright, I hope I have this in the right place. I just recently flashed the TerraSilent Kernel for the Galaxy Player 4.0 US version. The Flash went fine, but my device was running extremely slowly. A re-flash didn't solve it either. I figured that wiping the cache partition might solve the problem - I decided to do this before running a backup, since no important data is stored in the cache (...right?), and since I was worried that backing up while I had this problem could make things worse - so I went ahead into CWM and did just that. Then, it reboots, and I nearly get a heart attack. The stock wallpaper is back, it's using the default launcher again (I had LauncherPro installed), and pretty much only system apps work, all the others have an icon with an SD card on it, and when clicked on, it says something like "application not installed". I did some searching, and it seemed like a reboot might help (although I didn't find anyone with a problem like mine anywhere). The reboot didn't do anything, so now I have it shut down, so that nothing can happen. The odd thing is, it doesn't seem to me like the system messed up and did a full wipe instead, either, because a couple of things I have are still there - for example, some of my bookmarks I made on the homescreen while still using the default launcher are still there. I'm really confused because I have wiped the cache partition before, when I was still on an unmodified stock kernel, and everything stayed the same, the way I thought it was supposed to. And now this happens. What do I do now? I exported my absolute most important data (Astrid Tasks and Calendar) before I installed TerraSilent (but I obviously wasn't able to do a full backup because I wasn't rooted, I figured installing TerraSilent would root it), so my absolute most important data is on my computer. I also did a simple file backup of the internal USB storage and external SD card to another computer before flashing TerraSilent. However, there is still a good deal of data still need, and a lot of data that would just be a pain in the rear to recreate, not to mention my (valuable to me) game data. What did I do wrong - or did something in the system mess up? And - what do I do to get back to where I was before?
It happened to me when I was on gingerbread with terrasilent. It's a known issue with this kernel. In fact, you didn't wipe the data, but the recovery contain a bug wich format the data as soon as you do an operation wich mount the data partition(I think it's this but I can't remind) but it doesn't wipe the system or anythin else, so the icon, setting and everything else stay there but without anything attach to them. I don't remind what was causing it, I only stopped using cwm with this kernel unless I wanted to flash something or to wipe everything. Sorry but I can't help you more as I don't remind everything, it's been a while since I've been on gingerbread.

Wasn't that problem solved with a later version of the kernel though?
And, assuming that's what happened (what you describe sounds pretty much like what happened to me), would that mean that the only way to try and get it back would be by trying to recover the formatted data?

It was said to be resolved, but it happened to some peoples even thought. Maybe you can recover some of your data with your computer and some tools that let you get the erased data, but I can't guarantee the integrity of your data and you would need to replace every bit of data that was there before to get it running nicely. The easiest way would be to try to recover some of your important data, put it on your computer then wipe your player and start from scratch (wipe data/factory reset) and reinstall your apps. Then put back the save, or setting or files that you got back in your apps. Hope this help, I'm not a proffessional with data recovering or where to put it back after you got it, maybe someone else could further help you with this.
And the conclusion...

OK, my reply is late, but thanks for your help. I managed to copy the partition with all the deleted contents over to the computer, and I'll have to study the contents some other time, because I've spent about 24+ hours on this problem in total, and need my device for more important purposes - those for which the data I managed to copy before the custom kernel and everything else. For those of you who have a similar issue, this is how I managed to save (or that is I am 95% sure this will have saved at least some, as I said I haven't studied it yet) what I hope is a good chunk of my data.
Have you tried flashing a different kernel? Terrasilent also gave me some weird in that after a few days my device would boot into recovery by itself then wipe all my data in that only my system apps would remain. So it's a little different than what's happened to you. I ended up using klin's R3 kernel or Steven's kernel that fixed the issue.

I've got huge issue with steve's kernel. You can get into recovery, but once you booted in it will simply bootloop. Then you have to flash back with odin. So if you go with steve's kernel, don't boot into recovery. As for klin's kernel, I've never tried it, and will probably never as we have some really nice jellybean rom that I recommend you.
I never got that issue with steve's kernel.

Actually, with my problem, my system apps did remain, so it's almost the same problem, only my device didn't boot into recovery on its own (seriously, it booted into recovery on its own and wiped the data? ). I only installed the terrasilent kernel to be able to upgrade to JB, so I'm now on JB, running into different problem (the wrong settings are being backed up from google backup, they're restoring from my galaxy mini 2), but thanks anyway. I am really not having any luck at all with this whole update . But ti-pich, I agree with you, that JB rom is awesome

Yes it did, after 1 week. I was like ???. I reflashed it again and it did the same exact thing, and it happened to me while I was at my college too.
I also had that same issue where it was restoring from the wrong device. I just had to reflash the rom, and install stuff manually because it was making my device horribly slow.

Wow that is some scary stuff, now I know why every kernel/ROM/mod has a disclaimer at the beginning ... I'm glad I'm off that now and on a stable JB build now. I found a way to have it restore at least some of the stuff from when it was on gingerbread (mostly apps and appdata, no WiFi passwords or other settings - at least I'm pretty sure, I'm still working on getting all the stuff up and running) - go into a terminal, and type
Code:
bmgr list sets
It will probably have two different sets, one for when it was on GB and one for JB - or that is, if you had the problem, there will probably be a third set for a different device (maybe more). Then, choose the one you want to restore from, and type
Code:
bmgr restore xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with the apropriate ID from the command before. I'm having to type it several times in order to get it to work - I type it once, it restores some apps, then stops, I type it again, and it restores some more - but I'm hoping it gets as much possible onto the JB build. I guess this won't help you much, I've seen you saying on the ICS and JB threads that you've upgraded a while ago, but I guess if someone else comes along with the same problem, I hope it will help

hmmm. I'm about to try Terrasilent with my YP-G1 (US version) running 2.3.6. This is giving me second thoughts. Does this kernel still cause issues with SGP 4.0s running GB 2.3.6?? Maybe I should try the old Steves Kernel? I just want to use voodoo sound - thats really the only reason I want to root and get these kernels.
I have a AT&T GS3 running Packman Rom, one day i was updating my rom data was working fine and after i flashed the update i had no data connection, so i restored from a back up before the rom update and same thing no data, so i restored my phone with ODIN using the default ROM, still no data. So i restored from the backup again and found out i had no APN's in the APN settings area. So i tried restoring defaults, nothing happens it says "defaults restored" or something along those lines and nothing shows up, when i try setting my own APN with the right stuff and i save still nothing there. Any ideas on how to fix? I have downloaded some apps to manage the APN's but they don't work on android 4.0 +.
I know this is the wrong section but i cant find the right one, link anyone?
