[Q] What have done wrong? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Upgraded today to stock GB 2.3 then rooted using azuzu / doomlord method from here, then restored my data using Ti Backup and mybackup.
Now the process android.process.media keeps force closing the moment I go to the media player. I dont know if this started since I rooted or after I restored my backups.
Have I restored old data from the old media player which is upsetting the new one?
Please help as its bugging me lots!
Thanks

Managed to sort the problem out. When I took the SD card out of the phone it didn't crash. Copied the SD card contents to the PC, erased the SD card and then copied stuff back onto it. All fine now.
Hope this helps someone in future.

My backup root

When restoring photos i cant figure out how to restore them back to a jpg format in root explorer. Can anyone familiar with my back up root lend me some assistance? Thanks in advance

Can you elaborate on your problem a bit further?
Are you saying that when you restore a photo, you get it back with a different extension?

I used my back up root to back up photos about a month ago and tried to restore and when it restored the photos they appeared in a temp folder within my back up folder as some type of truncated or compressed text. I would like to get them back to some type of jpg forfat so i could view them. Not sure if this matters but i was on kens first gb 4.5.91 using edgans kernal when i originally backed up but now i am on alien 4 with fauxs 1.9 kernal. Trying to restore because some of my photos are corrupting at random and it is driving me crazy. Might be my sd card failing again. Any help appreciated.

Even though I don't use that backup program I just installed it and all is working well for me. I backup and restored several pictures without problems.
I really doubt the problem is caused by the ROM(s) you mentioned. I'm almost certain the problem is caused by your bad memory card since My Backup Root uses sd-ext as default backup location, which can be changed to internal, but that won't help you now.
I really recommend you to backup to a PC/MAC or even hard disk or thumbdrive if you have a Lapdock or Multimedia Dock or even better, to the cloud (Dropbox for example).
As a last resort, try to get your microsd card onto a memory card reader on a PC/MAC and perform some diagnostics/fix on the card.
Cheers!

[Q] get backed up sd contents onto wiped sd card

Hi,
I backed my sd card contents to my pc, my rooted incredible was a mess it was running CM7. I wiped the card flashed PB31IMG, a stock+ ROM then flashed MIUI now how do I get my backup onto the phone? So my apps + all the information and upgrades are like they were. Ie. all the money and levels I have got to in a app such as drag racing, my Handcent settings messages etc.
I am not sure how to copy the just the names of all the folders so you can see them if that would be more helpful to you please let me know how. If I could get my backed up removeable disk on here without the files I dont need I would be so grateful. Thanks
If you made a backup before you flashed you will have to restore to the backup and backup the apps using titanium backup. If not, sorry, all is lost...

My Galaxy s2 keeps rebooting over and over because of sd card(special case)

i use Samsung galaxy s2 with the latest firmware version from Samsung kies (ginger bread 2.3.5) , the problem occurred after installing external SD card and move bunch of apps to it,i tried removing the external sd card from my device, the device stoped rebooting, when i insert it again the device keeps rebooting over and over, the problem is obviosley is moving apps to SD card, i tried to delete the content of the file (andro secure) in SD crad this file includes the moved applications from phone memory to external sd, the problem also stoped
i wasn't having this issue in 2.3.3 therefore
its one of the three:
1- android 2.3.5 do not accept lots of apps in external sd
or 2- there is a problem in a specific app in external sd which make the phone rebooting over and over but i don't know which app is causing the issue because i have lots of apps installed !
or- a problem in the newest firmware 2.3.5 as i heard many ppl having troubles with it
to fix the problem i did factory reset and the rebooting stopped but im scared now to move apps to sd card that the rebooting problem occur again as it happend to me twice after doning factory reset and move them.
i need your help guys, it's annoying to not be able to move apps to sd so the problem don't occur

I will be honestly: I didn't read all BUT
1) U have rebootings after putting files on external sd.
2) after factory reset problem was passed
3) copying again - reboot again
-> right?
1) U thought about wrong (damaged) files you copy?
2) Or maybe files which normally used from an app and this app now isn't able to use it because u moved?
Thing about and check this, I'm sure one of it would be the fold.

it's not copying actully, it's downloading the apps from market and move them from internal storage to external sd therefore i don't think it's a damage files case because they are a market apps however i move only compatible apps which doesn't have (lower right icon) in app2sd, install latest version of app2sd to know what (lower right icon) mean
I'm having the exact same problem! It just randomly started last night, I was playing the game "Blood and Glory" exited the game and around 2 minutes later after checking Facebook it started doing the boot loop.
I'm running the Sprint Epic Touch 4g with Android 2.3.6
I recently put in a 32g SD card a little over a week ago cause it seems the 16g internal is partitioned to only around 2gigs for apps and I have around 130 apps.
I use App2SD pro to move all my apps.
I'm having the same problem, I bought SanDisk SD Card 16GB. when I install it and moved all supported Apps to the SD Card the problem occurred and my SGS2 keeps rebooting over & over during the whole day.
One of my friends made a factory restore & installed the previous OS 2.3.4 and the problem disappeared!!
The thing is what if don't want to root my device and install 2.3.4 what we should do.... shall we keep the SD card only for Camera Pictures & Movies???
any suggestions???
Hey guys,
I am using SGS2 as well. My phone keeps rebooting like more than 2 times a day. randomly. I convince myself not to blame gingerbread2.3.5, thus i tried uninstall my apps in batch (5-10apps each round) and see which batch of my apps cause the prob, if they are not those who cause rebooting issue, i install them back (in phone space not SD card) but so far i still couldn't found and just few mins ago it rebooted again. it happens after the upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5, after i downloaded a few apps and updated a few apps. I will finish with the un-installation and re-installation.

saw this thread. people were talking about the Dolphin HD which caused the reboot issue, did you have Dolphin browser app installed?
I am having the same issue, too
It started on my S2 after the latest firmware update. I can unmount the SD card and the phone boots OK. I read somewhere that my SD card may have issues, so I purchased another and moved all of my files. The problem reoccurs with the new SD card. I do not have Dolphin browser installed.
I had this issue. I reformatted my sd card and then moved some apps and data back. One week reboot free. 32gb sandisk

In my SGS2 it reboots sometimes in the market, i dont know what to do...
test your sd card for errors...!? thats where i'd start
same problem ... do not restart I had to remove the microSD .. : (.... How do we fix??
SG2 rebooting all the time also
My Sg2 is rebooting every 20 minutes or so.
Is formatting the the SD card a fix?
Mine used to reboot 3 to 5 times a day. Did a factory reset and formatted the internal SD card and set everything backup without Dolphin browser and it's been good for about a week now, no more reboots.
Whether that was because of the rumor that Dolphin browser caused it or from the reformat of the sd card I don't know. But I'm happy none the less.
Got the same problem. It started 2 days ago, and the only fix I've found was to remove apps from my SD card.
From what I've tested :
- Formatting the SD card and copying back all the files doesn't help.
- Removing the SD card or having an empty one works.
- Uninstalling the Dolphin browser didn't help.
- Doubt it's a specific app causing the issue (nothing weird on my S2)
- Removing X number of apps on the SD card seems to work. Now I'm not sure if I had to clear a specific number of apps or a number of MBs, but it works (for now).
Hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

Yours sounds like a problem with an app...
Everyone else should test their sd cards for errors or try fixing bad sectors...
Used to happen on my previous phones with crap sd cards... Once I bought a decent good quality one its never happened
about a month and a half ago I removed dolphin and my reboots stopped. They started up again and my card became corrupted. Decided to go no-card for a while. Was fine for a month. Decided to go for a good deal on a sandisk 16 and 2 days later after moving a bunch of apps on the reboots are back.
Points to a card issue. I've been though 3 cards on this phone now and am about to reset it to factory and bring it in for diagnostics.
Driving me nuts.

I got the same issue (2.3.5) and my SD Card is calss 4, the only way to avoid restart prob. Is to root and downgrade to 2.3.4
Waiting for any other feedback.
Any update Guys,,,,???
This problem is still occur in ICS leaks..
Without knowing this thread I have created similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21457609
Still, my thread is to gather data about how many user can reproduce this issue.
This issue is side effect starting from Samsung update 2.3.5..
The only way to avoid this issue is by downgrading to 2.3.4 or lower version.

phone keeps rebooting when mounting sd card

Hi ho everybody, I have a nagging problem with my phone that I desperately need some help with, please.
Firstly, some basic info:
Htc Evo 3D running MeanROM ICS 2.5
rooted
S-off (via wire method)
Hboot 1.58.000
Radio 1.09.00.0706
Kernel 3.0.16-g4211684
Problem: with the sd card in, my phone keeps rebooting every few minutes. No sd card, no problems. I factory reset then superwiped my phone before I installed MeanROM ICS 2.5. It seems whenever I tried to restore my apps with Titanium Backup the reboot problems were present so proceeded to reinstall all of my apps from the root uninstaller backup folder as to avoid messing around with the google play store and I also cleaned out all the unnecessary folders/files from my sd card. Everything was working fine for a few days and then the phone decides to start rebooting again whenever the sd card is in. It seems like the phone hangs when trying to read the card after a boot and also the play store won't connect when there's a sd card in. The only thing I did before the reboot problem popped up again was moving a few folders back to the sd card that had some backup data for some apps. I removed those folders from the sd card and the rebooting continues. Anybody, help, please. Thanks in advance

I also had serious rebooting issues when I accepted the ICS OTA from Sprint. I'm totally stock and never rooted. It was something on the SD card. I backed up my card to my PC, reformatted it and started adding apps back one by one. So far no rebooting issues. Not sure why it did that, perhaps a corrupt save file on the sd card,

Updated to 2.13, issues trying to recover nandroid

I recently relocked and unrooted and took the OTA update, then re-rooted and unlocked but was having trouble right away with 2.13 stock rom not recognizing any of the mp3 files on my sd card. I could see the files and play them through ES File Explorer but the music program would not pick them up. I use my phone as my mp3 player a lot and thought I would recover my most recent nandroid (most recent Rejuvenated rom). The recovery went fine and everything seemed to be OK until I went to turn my wifi. It wouldn't turn on and just give me an error. Main two questions, is there a known issue with the sd card music problem I was having and is it not possible to recover a nandroid from an old base?
I figured out that being S-on won't allow me to recover the old kernel from my Rejuv setup and assume that is why the wi-fi is borked. However, I still cannot figure out why any music program won't find the music files on my SD card. If I move all of the music to phone storage, it sees them, but not all of them?!!? This is so damned confusing. When I recover to an earlier base rom like Rejuv, it sees the songs on the SD card.
Relocking to accept an OTA is never the answer.

Yes, I now realize this.
Rescan media didn't fix the problem. Anyone have any other ideas. It's also worth noting that the videos I have on my sd card also don't show up. The pictures do though... WTF?
Think this is an issue with stock. I had it too when I first got my phone. Can't really remember but it has something to do with the music player reading from internal memory and not sd card2. Make sure default is sd cards2 not sd card.
Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
How do I change which is default?

I recovered my most recent Rejuv setup and then used Flash Image GUI to flash the stock kernel. I am back and running rejuv with working wifi and mp3's are being seen on the sd card. The only difference now is I am still on 1.19 boot version and will have to wait longer to get s-off i guess I did notice on the new 2.13 base though that my random wifi drop offs and disconnects were not happening.
