[Q] problems with rooted galaxy s 4g help?!? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok here is the problem my gf was putting new rom on her phone last night and when the new rom booted up there was no gmail. No rom manager. So when I try to get into the market it says do you want to create an account I hit yes back to home screen. I've tried dl rom manager on PC but there out of date so I hit dl rom it says I must first update. No market no update. So I try to do a restore to her last rom. It says could not load skipping. And nothing back to this same one. I've tried factory reset everything I could think of. If anyone has a link to the newest hereon rom manager that would be awesome. A way to put another rom on there where she can at least have contacts and the market. Anything. Oh and I also tried to add account through accounts and sync no gmail only Facebook. That only worked for contacts too. Any help please thanks guys!!

CanĀ“t setup google account

Hi,
I accidentally cleared up all Google apps data/cache. Now it is asking for setting up google account again. When i enter my credentials, it just fails. The error message is:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services."
I am connected to internet (using browser to view pages works fine). Is there a workaround? I do not want to Hard Reset my Hero.
I am not rooted!
I had that same issue after I swapped SIM cards in my Hero and even after I did a hard reset. I just had to wait it out apparently. I got the error on WiFi, 3G, and GPRS. I would say to wait another day before doing a wipe. All the support related sites will tell you to do a wipe now.
Same problem....
I have been having the same problem...ROOTED My HTC Hero (T-mobile - g2)
With CyanogenMods Recovery and flashed MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.3 Core.
After that it doesnt seem to let me log in to google? Market?
I then Loaded backup copy of normal rom back on and then flashed MoDaCo rom over the top with out wiping. and i could log in to market and google. but server errors appear every now and agian....Really frustrating....Wondering weather its worth having a rooted g2. if there is constant problems? like freezing and restarting of touchflo?
Is there a newer rom or a way to have a custom rooted htc hero and that works to a good standard????
Hope there issss

Can't reach the market

Hi all,
I've been flashing a lil' during the last day. Until then no problem BUT, from this morning, I can't reach the market any more. I've installed several 2.1 and even went back to MCR 3.2, but no way. The installation is ok, I've wiped all, even partitioned the SD (and performed a repair stuff). My account's syncing ok, but everytime I launch the market, I have a server error. 3G or WiFi, nothing.
Plesae help, I can't download anything...I'm lost.
I'm french and have and suscribed over Virgin.
Many many thanks in advance for your help guyz.
Same here. Flashed Chpoubs 4.2 Slide port yesterday, everything was working fine.
And since this morning I can open the market, see the 15 apps on the welcome page, but I can not search an app or check the updates (server connection error).
I tried restoring a Kimera 1.8 backup but to no avail I got the same connection error.
I am in France and my carrier is SFR. Hope my phone has not been "blacklisted" or something like that ?
Hey guys,
Do a factory reset from the settings menu and make sure you sync your Google account on first set up. I've had this issue before and this has resolved it.
I'm giving it a try, thx.
Anguished I am....

Nope, didn't work, still the same error message...
I wiped again, waited until google sync was over, opened the market, accepted the rules, and then got the error message... i'm stuck.
Same for me. Can't access the market.

Kies - unable to restore data from backup

Hello,
I would like to restore my data using backup in Kies but I can not finish it by pressing next button (see picture). I have latest firmware of phone and Kies. Any help will be appreciated.

Kies problem probably
because I was trying to recover data from P7510 tablet and have the same problem here, now I have phone without any contact
probably the best solution is to call samsung customer services and let them help you out...thats what i would do firstly my friend...

well that was pretty pathetic from them...ehh have you gone into the search tool bar on top of the forum to see if there are more threads regarding kies?
sure, i have searched xda and also web using uncle google
could you pls (or someone else) try to backup your e.g. contacts and then restore (only if you are able to continue (not necessary to click next button)
edit:
i tried to install kies_win_v1.5.3.10103_102 but this was too old version not supported my phone, so i tried Kies 2.0.0.11014_49 and in this version I was able to restore my contacts (unfortunatelly not calendar, sms, mail setting etc). I will have to wait for fully functional version of Kies to restore all my data.
The last version of Kies (Kies_2.0.3.11082_152_2) has bug
I have the same problem. I noticed it after first flashing my phone with the android 2.3.5 firmware (which wiped the phone), then going back to a previous firmware. As far as I know the phone version is correct now. I could update to the latest official firmware through Kies, but after that I can't restore any personal data and settings from the backup I made in Kies before starting to flash the phone.
I thought it might be from the flashings it didn't work. But maybe it is just a badly written software (Kies). I really hope a new version comes soon.
/Michael
I finally found version 2.0.2.11071 here: http://www.soft82.com/get/download/windows/samsung-kies/
After uninstalling the newest version of Kies and installing this one instead I now at least got the option to restore everything, including personal data and settings.
I am restoring right now, so I can't yet confirm that it actually works. But I'm getting some hope back.
Well, it worked... sort of.
Contacts weren't an issue for me since I only have Google contacts, but I wanted call logs and messages back, which I got. I think contacts would work as well.
But the process was a bit strange. I selected to restore everything. When the restoring process was running a green check mark was placed over each item that was finished (as expected). When the last item was finished I got a red cross over each item instead and a message telling me I have have aborted the restore process.
Anyway, the call logs and messages was all there. So I'm pretty pleased anyway.

Hello Everyone.
Im having a bit of a problem. Im running the unoffifial beta 2v4 the latest one by flapjaxx. The rom to me in my opinion was running fine until i downloaded all the inverted app for this rom throu the update tools function. I was pretty happy with my choice of rom i loved it. The problem began when my phone started to jam up when looking at my inverted contacts menu, the phone would give me a quick hiptic vibrate and then restart my apex launcher..So long sory short I factory reset the phone and now i can get into the settings menu. Phone states App not installed. i wiped the cach clean and did 3 factory resets btw and It still wont let me into the Settings..The phone now says settings is blocked for security reasons.. what the heck did I do wrong

you can try titanium backup..see if settings is in there and restore it(at your own risk, but its worth a shot), OR start from scratch and re-flash ROM. (do a back up of course!!!
good luck!!!

You have to install the Google Apps as a separate install when dealing with most non stock roms. Surely the guide you were looking at mentioned that...? Weird that you are having issues with Sms as it's rare roms have that trouble. Which messaging app are you using? Your contacts aren't there because you wiped your phone, installed a new operating system, and didn't install the Google apps to resync your account. I'm confused on why you're surprised by that... Kies doesn't work on non stock roms and is a much inferior tool vs Odin. Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before installing Slim? If so, you could just restore that and you would be back to the previous version in like 10 minutes. If you didn't...well, you weren't looking at the right guides then. I think Slim is 10x better than stock, personally but depending on the phone and version, there can be some minor issues.
I think that Whatsapp doesn't recognize your phone because of the custom DPI. If you set that to stock value, it should work.
