Hi all,
I have searched in the checkrom thread and here but failed to find anything to solve my problem.
i did a wipe before flashing to checkrom 2.0. after it finished installing. i loaded up kitchenpro n was prompted to update it. thereafter i selected restore user data & ticked the sms. but there wasnt anything restored. i checked my filesystem n the backup files were present.
so whats wrong?
Ok its now working. a possible reason is perhaps my phone now doesn't have a phone signal after I installed a font pack, circular battery theme & Swype 3.0 from kitchenpro. my Sim card is now not detected, so a new problem is created...going to check whats wrong.
I just restarted my phone and the signal came back. Not sure why it wasn't there the first time it rebooted after installing the add-ons. Weird but its working.

I'm not sure what's the problem. I always odin before flashing new rom. The problems I'm having now is, I can't install a certain apps. It will install but it won't show up on my menu list. It's battery left pro. I've been switching and testing rom recently with nero and gingerclone. Doesn't odin wiped everything? I check root explorer, the apk located in /data/app .
Another issues I'm having is with the data connection. I'm using whatsapp. When I left my phone untouch for a while, my message won't come in, I suspect the data was cut off. This never happened before. It just happened after I've been switching rom between nero and gingerclone.
Please help. Is there anything I'm missing? Is it something still lies in the phone memory? Thanks.
P/S I'm on Nero V2 right now.
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.

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.

Hello XDA
(Please tell me if this is the wrong forum for help)
So, I was plodding along happily with CM7 on my Optimus One, then I decided to Nandroid backup and flash a CM9 alpha ROM here.
Once I wiped user data through amon_ra recovery, I flashed it and it worked fine (except I was on old baseband, so GSM didn't work).
When I decided to Nandroid back to what I had previously however, BAD THINGS HAPPENED.
All the user apps didn't show up in the app draw. All the widgets had a problem. The CM7 theme had vanished. Even the google apps had vanished.
I tried to reflash the Market but it didn't work and was still missing.
I was able to Nandroid back to the ICS alpha rom and it worked fine.
I then tried to restore the stock LG firmware through the official updater app. It refused to boot, getting stuck at the ANDROID logo.
I then had to manually flash Clockworkmod recovery through emergency mode. I then proceeded to Nandroid to my CM7 save. Which booted, but still had the same problems. (I flashed amon_ra from there so I could use my other backups)
All the normal functions work properly eg. Camera, USB, ADB, GSM, 3G, Data, web browsing.
I also noted that everything is sitting normally in the data partition when looking through ADB, but not through File Manager, is that normal?
Help, please?
Thanks x 1000000 in advance
Titanium Backup?
Can't get it installed.
Well, it is installed, it's just unusable.
I can't get the Market so I can't try and install it.
And attempting to install it's APK with File Manager results in "Application not installed"
Okay, I seem to have figured it out, while I had this problem, my dalvik-cache was inaccessible as a folder. I deleted it in ADB and recreated it.
It was because when I wiped user data to flash ICS, it also wiped the SD-EXT partition, which my dlavik-cache was on, that was not backed up.
Hi,
I'm new around, hope this is the right forum...
I have a galaxy s1 (i1900) which I flashed with a new ROM (2.3.6) in the past and then installed 4.2.2 from a zip, and it worked fine for a few months.
Having the same ROM file I used before, I tried to get it back to 2.3.6, as the 4.2.2 didn't work quite well, causing some problems when trying to make phone calls / receive calls.
After flashing the 2.3.6 again, the phone kept rebooting itself. Having read a few different guides online I tried all options - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache... then did some dramatic things like formatting /system, /cache /sdcard... I know it's not a very smart things to do when you don't know what you're doing, but I guess I felt I have nothing to lose at this point...
I also tried to reinstall 4.2.2 again and it only rebooted to the recovery mode whenever turning it on.
When mounting to USB I see no files in the device at all, only a folder called 'clockworkmod' with file called '.recovery_version' inside, and 2 empty folders named 'external_sd' and 'LOST.DIR'. It also shows it has 13.2GB free out of 13.2GB, which is weird, because the os doesn't occupy any of the capacity.
How do I save this poor device?
Many thanks in advance for your kind help!

Hello everyone,
I need your help. Sorry for the long post.
I have a OnePlus One. It was running on CM 13.0 (Android 6.0.1). I had TWRP and MultiROM installed.
I have had an issue where whenever I flash a zip file in TWRP, the phone will show an error after installing the zip: "Unable to mount storage". This appeared in red color on the screen right after showing the progress of the zip installation. The phone worked fine and all the flashed zips worked great as well. However, the error that appeared every single time when I flash a zip file bothered me. So I tried to fix it. (I know, if it's not broken don't fix it, but sadly I tired).
I followed this video to get rid of the error => (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7yDPszoQ5s). However, instead of getting rid of the error, I ended up with a huge problem. My phone couldn't recognize the data in the internal storage. It showed that the internal storage was empty. When I tired to reboot in TWRP, It said: "No OS installed are you sure you wish to reboot". I realized that the video I followed was for a different problem and that I ended up with the same issue the video was trying to fix! I tried every single option the video suggested to fix the problem and nothing helped.
I connected my phone to my laptop and downloaded the latest CyanogenMod zip for my phone and I flashed it. when I rebooted my phone I got a screen that asked for my password. I typed a random password (I discovered later that the phone will accept any password and say it's correct). I got the following error: "Decryption Unsuccessful... The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt... To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account...Then the only thing I can select is "reset phone." ". I pressed the reset button on the screen, the phone rebooted and showed the same error. Then I tired flashing PAC ROM and I got the same error again. Then I flashed OmniROM and the phone worked! It didn't show the error.
I have a Titanium backup for all my apps and I also have a nandroid backup for my previous ROM (in my memory stick using an OTG cable). However, I don't have any backups for my internal storage (photos, videos, documents... etc). I am guessing that these files are still in my internal storage. I didn't copy any new files to my phone because I think if I do, then the phone will keep replacing my old files (that I can't see) with the new ones.
My question is: Is there a way to get back these old photos and videos from the internal storage? Note that I didn't delete these files, but the phone can't read them. Also, I checked the nandroid backup that I have and the file system type of the previous ROM was EXT4. My current file system type is the same, EXT4.
Thank you for the help!
