HI, I'm a neophyte, but have enjoyed a rooted streak for over a year now. I had upgraded to DJ Steve's Froyo last spring when it came out. Today, I got this weird message when trying to power-up, so I pulled the battery and tried again. Still getting the Dell logo splitting w/DJ Steve's Streakdroid, but my wallpaper was gone - now it's a blue sky with white clouds. All my apps, phone contacts, text messages are gone. I confess I'm not sure if I've been backing up properly - by I did have Lookout security, and there was a backup function on there. I think I had 2.2 but I'm not sure (I'm dyslexic, and remembering numbers doesn't come easily for me)!
I really have no idea what to do - I like to just get the phone back where it was before. Is there a link to a thread options, and about the the different processes? I'm thinking just to re-install Lookout, and try that first; but I'm not sure what is best - COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP!
Sounds like time for a fresh build. I highly suggest DSC .73. Stable and smooth.

It factory reset itself. you should have a nandroid backup and at least all your apps backed up with Titanium or MyBackup Pro... If not you have to start from scratch

Hey Guys,
Having an issue that I just can't seem to figure out. First, my phone specs:
Running EB01 Modem & JT's EB01 Voodoo Kernel w/SuperClean 2.2 Voodoo, ASOP Lock, Power & Battery Mod (via Domush walkthrough).
Now the problem: my phone just shuts off completely when it feels like it and the only way to get it back on is to do a battery pull. Searched the forums and throught it might be the proximity sensor, but flashed it back to stock and it was fine. It seems to happen randomly. It's not the battery because each time i turn it back on it have plenty of battery life. I've tried freezing all my apps and it still does it as well.
Is there someting i'm missing? Anyone else have an idea?
Thank you in advance
My first suggestion is backup your apps and do a wipe wipe wipe. See if that corrects problem.
Let us know

I had that happen a couple times as well with SC 2.1. I only ran it for a couple days before SC 2.2 came out. After flashing 2.2 over 2.1, and wiping the cache a couple times, I haven't had it happen again. Then again I only upgraded yesterday, so it may yet happen again. Time will tell.

So far so good....I wiped x3 everything (cache, davik, everything) and it seems to have worked. Thank guys. I'll let you know if it acts up again.
Come to find out it was a rom prob, fixed in the forums, called the sleep of death.

FWIW, I did not have the problem with 2.2, and now have upgraded to SC 2.4, and the issue still has not returned. It does seem like I have to hit the power button twice to wake it up once in a while, but it never fails to wake up.

It seems to have only happen when you do the steps in a certain order. It's all fixed with the patch.
Actually, it's NOT been fixed with the patch. If you read the thread, the people that thought it worked had it come back after a few hours of use. The only way I've been able to "fix" it thus far is to go back to the stock ebo1 rom. FWIW, the problem for me seems to resurface after I access any media. The first time was after I listened to music through Poweramp and the latest was after watching a video in media hub.

Hmm, I'll have to check it out....I went through my photos and it worked fine after that. I use Audiogalaxy so I don't have music on my phone. I'll go run a video and see if that triggers it. Good looking out JJRocker
This so far has been an issue that's really hard to find info for and it's driving me nuts...lol. So yeah, even though I'm far from being an expert, I'm trying my best to figure out what's causing it so that I can work around it or better yet, help the devs out since they are the real experts here. Adrynalyne put a test patch up and asked people to report on it, so it would probably help a lot if everyone having the problem would post their results in this thread. He's the guy that's probably most likely to figure this out. Also, that link has the patch if you want to give it a shot.
One thing I should probably mention is that at least in my case, once the SOD surfaces, it happens about every 4th to 5th wakeup until I reflash the rom or go to another one. So if you've experienced it already, there's a good chance you won't be able to cure it without a reflash.
Ive noticed there is a certain population of folks who have it, and a larger population of those who do not.
I've been researching for hours on end, with no clear common resolution.
For some, not using Titanium to restore apps fixes it.
For some, my test patch works.
For some, a double reboot fixes it.
I had it happen once, ever, and it was on stock eb01. It never happened again. I myself have noticed increased instability on eb01 using maps and gps, however. A couple days ago, launching maps, and turning on the gps afterwards hard locked my device.
@adrynalyne
Exactly.
It seems that mine is fixed with the patch in both of your SuperClean 2.3 & 2.4, I've tried different media and it seems fixed. Only time will tell tho.
And thank you for all that you do with this phone. It had such great potenital and with you and folks like jt, it's making this phone amazing!
It's strange....I had it happen once this morning and now I can't replicate it. I have used Titanium to restore apps but I only restore one app, AndroidPit App Center. I need it to download ADW EX and Beautiful Widgets since they take PayPal and my debit card doesn't do foreign currency.
Anyway, someone at Android Central suggested avoiding ADW because people were reporting issues with the SOD and that launcher. So, I'm gonna run LP+ for a while and see how that works out.
I have been using ADW EX and no real problems...
...but I didn't think about it, I did clear out me Titanium Backup and just reDownloaded stuff this time. Maybe the backups are the culprit?
Well, right now I'm starting over on SC 2.4 and trying all the remedies I've seen posted thus far. I wiped data and cache, flashing SC 2.4. I'm going to skip the backup assistant since it might try to restore apps that were restored by Titanium. I'll run LP+ and flash a theme (VA green is my current fave...love the BA). Gonna restore my apps manually from the market and I'll even double reboot when I'm all done...lol. Anyway, wish me luck...the real test will be tomorrow at work. I use HandBase to keep track of things so I put my phone in and out of sleep a lot during the day.
And also, many thanks to Adrynalyne and all the other great devs here. The work put into this stuff is much appreciated. I wouldn't put this much effort into getting this working if SC wasn't such an amazing ROM.

When I redid it again my aps were automatically restoring themselves. So to save you some sanity, make sure you go into privacy and turn off "Backup my settings" and "Restore my settings" as well. It may be dimmed out, but it will sutomatically restore them as well. It's doesn't really do much from what I can tell (I still have to manually add passwords to wifis, which it says it backs up)
Ya know, maybe that's the cuplrit of this whole shabang
Ok, so I had the SOD on LP+ too. Out of curiosity, is anyone with this problem using Switchpro widget or another power control widget that changes brightness? The one thing that seems to always precede the SOD for me has been installing and putting this widget on my desktop. Also, one time I did have it before I installed the widget and checked my screen timeout settings...there was nothing checked which is the same as having the screen never turn off. Apparently, backup assistant restored the setting automatically from a previous flash. Also, I think Super Clean has a power control widget on one of the homescreens by default if I remember correctly. Everything was running great, couldn't get it to SOD, so I started installing some of my apps and put the switchpro widget on my main homescreen, and got SOD on the very next wakeup.
I believe I may have found my culprit!! But before I say, let me recap:
I backed up using TiB. Flashed everything back to DI01 and got the OTA update. Restarted, then flashed to DL09. Reboot, Flashed to Deoxed EB01. I also kept the origional kernel, didn't meess with it because I believed that it was the cuplrit, I am assuming I'm wrong. Everything was good. Slowly started adding programs back seeing which one will kill my phone. I finally found it......it was YouMail.
If you are using this product, you can have it on to your system and it will work. But as soon as it receives its notification of a New Voice Mail notification from their servers. It locks up. Hopfully uninstallation and a reboot will take it away, but only time will tell. I'll report back in.
So earlier today I had an afternoon nap and set my streak alarm to wake me.
It went off exactly on time, but instead of the snooze or dismiss buttons was the 'this programme has crashed yada yada, dump to sd card.' I think I hit ok, but i was a bit dopey, so no telling if i swiped something else. Then the machine happily turned itself off, dell logo came on screen and after sitting there for about 45seconds flashed up
"file system check returned status 1024 c2fsck status was 4
please return this unit for debugging"
Now the thing appears to have gone back to a complete factory reset losing everything. No messages, no contacts, totally blank.
So to the question, is it at all possible to get anything back? sms messages in particular as there's a bunch of sentimental stuff in there I'd like not to have lost.
I have an untouched O2 streak running the 2.2 update, not rooted or modded or had anything done to it that wasn't downloaded from the app store.
Any help or suggestions very welcome, but they'll have to be written for idiots, as clearly when it comes to phones, I need all the help I can get.
Sorry to say but im almost positive that its a loss. In the future use something like mybackup pro from the market.

I recently upgraded to GSB v2.1 from my previously non-rooted bog standard Eris and am amazed by what I had been missing out for. I'm still pretty much a complete newbie to the whole custom ROM thing though, and have a few questions that may be quite stupid.
1) I'm getting force close crashes w/ the Facebook app. It'll load for a second and I'll see my news page, then force close comes up. Do I just need to reinstall or ... ? Edit: Facebook seems to be loading now, without force close issues. The problem was very repeatable (every time I tried to open the app!) last night, but seems gone today. Ah well, good riddance!
2) While trying to play a vid from Youtube, the sound is working flawlessly but the video doesn't seem to be advancing. I can move forward manually but all I get are still pictures from the video. This is using the browser that came with GSB; I haven't yet tried to get any other apps.
3) My wife's phone seriously needs this too, but she's leery of wiping her phone of apps. What's the best way to backup apps from a non-rooted Eris?
Thanks in advance for any answers you guys can provide!
Download titanium backup for the apps I'm new at this too I'm unsure about your problems with Facebook and YouTube did you wipe the dalvik cache?
Sent from my Ginger Tazz using Tapatalk
I did wipe the cache, although like I said, I haven't put any apps on here yet, so no harm in just wiping it all again and reflashing the rom to make sure it works. Thanks for the titanium backup tip!
No problem gsb is a great rom these Eris devs do awesome work I use gsb 2.0 no problems I'm trying Ginger tazz now I think battery life may be a little better but both are excellent. You should totally hook your wife's phone up too

I think the Youtube thing is a known issue, and I'm guessing that it's just because Cyanogen Mod 7 isn't completely done yet, so maybe it'll be worked out over time.

Just to let you know, you can wipe the Dalvik cache any time you want to, even after loading apps. It'll just longer to rebuild it when you reboot, but it can help solve issues sometimes.
Welcome to rooting!
That's great to hear! Well, it's not great that youtube doesn't work 100%, but at least it's not some weird problem particular to me. Lol.
I have to say, I really really have grown to like this ROM very fast. My wife is clamoring for it even knowing she's gonna lose all her apps. Any tips on how I set my contacts to import Facebook profile pics now? I did it before, but have no clue where that was or where it may have moved to now.

best option i found for backing up my wife's apps before flashing from stock was to use "universal androot" to root (it is a software root so there is no rebooting or flashing or really any risk of loosing aps). then you can install titanium backup. it will even backup protected files since you have root. when titanium backup loads, hit menu->batch and pick the backup all new apps and newer versions. after flashing, load titanium backup, menu-> batch and pick restore all missing apps (i restored them with data, but many people have had to install the app only and then put back in the other info). FYI i rooted several (5) phones this way. if you install rom manager from the market and install a recovery (clockwork or amon's) from the rom manager, you can turn phone off, then hold vol down and power on to boot to recovery. from there you can wipe and flash. it is the easiest way to root and flash a new rom imho.
sorry figured i should answer your post i quoted. lol. if under menu-> accounts and sync->add account->facebook. input your info and select sync all or sync current contacts. it should pull in the information. if you have different names for people in your contacts and your facebook (ex "wife" in your contacts and "jane" on facebook) you can "sync all contacts" and manually link them. contacts->long press on contact->edit contact->menu->join. this should link you contacts with their facebook info. the facebook pics will sync it just takes a good bit of time sometimes.
Heya guys, this is driving me nuts!
I'm running a rooted Fascinate with the OTA 2.2 update. After the update, I did a factory reset and a battery pull for good measure. Installed Titanium, restored my apps and data, then sat down to enjoy myself some Froyo deliciousness...
After organizing some of my apps and widgets, my screen went black and it vibrated a few times. When the screen came back to life, everything looked like I hadn't moved or personalized anything. All the apps, widgets, etc. were back where they started.
Another restart, battery pull, restart, then I organized everything again. It lasted for about 9 hours until my battery died. On restart, everything was back like I'd just restored from Titanium (except for a few apps in my home screen, but in the completely wrong space).
I should also mention that I saved quite a few of my apps to SD.
Any suggestions? I'm worried that I'll throw my phone at a brick wall if this happens again! Soooo frustrating!
I had the same problem. I would Odin back to the 2.2.1 froyo for the fascinate. (The official update ED01)

That's what I'm on now. Would flashing it manually make a big difference?
Alright, this is a little embarrassing. A friend asked me to root, back up and put ICS on his SII. I own a ZTE Blade and am at least a seasoned observer of the MoDaCo Blade community, so I figured it wouldn't be any trouble. Rooting was easy as anything, with su and the SII variant of ROM manager working fine. Backing up took ages but was broadly successful. I then flashed the 08/04 build of HyDrOG3N, following the flash order to the letter. Launcher operated smoothly and the few functions I tried were all OK. I got a couple of bizarre force-close warnings but ignored them (Exchange services and Camera I think). Then I decided, foolishly it turned out, to flash ICS gapps and the Phenomenal 4.0 kernel Extreme kernel in recovery. This was when I also realised the phone had only 10% charge, judging by the amount of time since I'd last seen the battery meter. So when I selected 'reboot', it didn't seem to do anything apart from keep the screen on. I left it for a while, then realised it wasn't going anywhere so I took out the battery, replaced it, booted back into recovery and flashed HyDrOG3N & ICS gapps again. Everything was fine, so I restored his apps, synced contacts, restored SMSs and began customisation. Until I realised that his camera photos had disappeared (not a huge issue, backed up on PC), loads of background apps kept FCing and Messaging was broken. I was unable to read or send text messages. The main screen of the app worked, but it was impossible to navigate from there. I then flashed another HyDrOG3N build, the 08/04 Easter Egg version, wiping Dalvik before. Same issue, and same dammed Kang unicorn (yes, I'm a jerk -and proud).
My 'friend' now wants to rip my overconfident head off, while I assure him that I've got a thousand and one solutions. Er, yeah, flash different gapps (idiot, should have done that straight away) or use a different ROM. So much for 'rockstability'.
I won't have the phone until Wednesday, but am wondering if anyone has any idea what went wrong? Sorry for the novel, I just hope somewhere there's an explanation...
Thanks for any suggestions.
Sir, try to flash another ics rom, is lot of them. I flashed 2 days ago Hydrogen rom and I had same strange issue, I dunno why. So I flashed another rom and now it's fine. Good luck!
Thanks for quick reply, think it's the only thing I can do, really...
