Reboot / Crash removes apps randomly - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Everytime my phone is rebooted or crashes after days of use without reboot, some apps for sure will be removed randomly. Specially new ones. Apps which hav been there for long stays.
IM+ lite is a must to be removed everytime.
Recently zedge which has been there for long time just got removed.
Android seems like a mess, apps which get removed, their data stays, n I manually uninstall all of them, n then do a corps cleanup with sd maid. Bt after a reboot, all of the data comes back n I have to uninstall them again.
Its being a very big problem. I cant restart my phone without loosing some apps n data. Please help. I hope ICS has a better app structure, n im willing to do a fresh start there... But I must be able to transfer my "EasyMoney" data to the new rom. It has all my money tranctions.
Plz help, thanks alot...

Reads as its wiping them from the sd card .
Android seems like a mess,
More like your phone not Android as this is not a normal problem .
I would backup all data apps etc .
Factory reset the phone and try
This reads like a corrupt sd card or similar .
After that who knows what your phone firmware is
original firmware return to Samsung service .
Rooted firmware try
....................................
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .Or need to return to service or decide if its hardware/firmware problem .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .
Still problems use usb jig to set rom counter to zero .

I just rooted my phone using CF-Root. Because its closest to stock. Did nothing else.
Will a factory reset remove root?
Does anyone know if ICS for samsung gs2 is releases or not?
Thanks...

No its embedded in the kernel if its a kernel root .

Think if you read the ten million posts on ICS is released you will have a better idea .

Thanks alot... I used to think after installing SPB Shell 3D and using lucky patcher to patch SPB, caused the problem to start. But I just removed SPB and installed Launcher Pro, and similar probles still exist. Spb nor launcher pro starts properly, have to keep force closing after startup. So am using TouchWiz (hate it)... The problem feels like its related to my SD Card... Maybe I installed too many apps to SD. Currently have about 310 apps all together... So ill just backup my easymoney app data n few sms, pics, musiz etc n just do a factory reset n install SPB...lets see what happens...
Thanks alot...

[Q] Problem with S2 , when reboot all data lost

Equipment: Galaxy S2 (Rooted with odin CF-Root)
Problem: Evey time I reboot my phone all the data will be back to 10/11/11 (rooted and backed up date) , new installed app and data gone also.
Symptoms: Similar to the Deep Freeze on the computer. If you reboot the phone all the data and app will restore to the date of 10/11/11. I not sure either Titanium Backup Pro 3.9 or CWM caused this problems. Actually I backed up with 3 app TB, CWM and nitrality.
I tried:
1. Factory Reset.
2. Go into Recovery Mode wipe data / cache.
3. Remove Titanium Backup then TwLauncher and Market force closed all the time. Tried with root explorer also.
4. Press ​​*2767*3855# not work.
5. Tried to flash Official rom and other custom rom but won't work
6. Fomat phone memory (USB) and sd card > after reboot all the data still back
More detail
PDA: DCKH2
Phone: DCKF1
Now, what should I do next?
How to remove Titanium Backup permanently ?
Thank you in advance.
Still need help, please.

I can remember another thread with the same issue.
There the user came to the conclusion that it was a hardware defect of the internal sd card.
He sent his phone back to the seller and as the seller could not fix the problem, he received a new phone.
Maybe you have got the same issue.
All writing operations to your internal sd card seem to work fine, but they are only written into a kind of cache/RAM and not permanently to the filesystem of your internal sd card.
If I could find this other thread again, I will add a link.
Ah I see. So if the internal sd it broke out, because it still rewrite the old data again and again. When I try to flash the new one or factory reset it should be better. Do you have any solutions or just send it back to the seller.
Thanks a lot.

Here is the other thread and the issue sounds very similar => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178964
If you have still warranty, send it back to the seller (after contacting).
Maybe the seller has got a special way of handling such a warranty replacement.
Good luck !

Backup anything important, factory reset, clear cache & dalvik in CWM recovery. Followed immediately by flashing ROM.
If you're stock and not rooted, factory reset after backup.

Fix permissions in recovery or,
1. Backup all data including contacts, pictures etc as will erase everything.
2. Dialer *2767*3855# to master reset
3. Flash again
EDIT: Please do not double double post, see you've posted same problem in the CheckROM thread too...............
Tried. Didnt work . When in recovery it says sd marker not found. Could that have something to do with it

As stated by JJE, maybe the SD card is corrupted, back up files on your pc then reformat the card using pc and then replace the files?

Have you scanned the card for errors?? Quite obvious suggestion ... where i would of started
I have scanned with anti virus have done disk check on it . Done master reset. Follwed by flash stock rom then checkrom again . Have formatted sd via pc and via recovery i have done everything everyone has suggested just does not work . As i said it was fine . Then i went to look at my albums then they was gone without me touching any setting or changing anything. Just simply opening gallery. And also as stated my phone would not ring or alert me to msgs as they have gone to . But i can still see everything in the same folders / PAths etc with root explorer

ok right i have done it all again gone back to complete stock , hard reset , formatted everything sd cache etc via recovery and formatted sd on pc .. went back to stock again after just gone through all the process to get checkrom back . still cant see pics in gallery even tho i can see them in files and root explorer . even moving them and then copying them back to the correct folder they do not show . also done the same for all ring sms alarms and notification tones .. still cant see them by selecting alarms ring sms etc tones ...even taking pics now wont save to gallery they just vanish . to the correct folder but dont show in there
I think your system cant find sd card. It is maybe hardware problem.
Or recovery file is wrong.
Do you have only 1 recovery file? If not, try other file.

what do you mean do i only have one recovery file ????
Sorry for my English.
In Korea, final solution is flash moviNAND ROM. It will be clear perfectly. It is some different between stock rom and movi rom.
Back up your sd card data. And try it.
But Im noob and also not good at english. Sorry

make sure also you havent got the .nomedia flag/file in the folders you cannot access with your media or it will hide media from being scanned ..you could also try another mem card incase the one you have is screwed

SGS2 boot loop problem. Only solution is Delvik Cache Clean Up.

Hello I have been using my sgs2 for 4 months now and for less than a month ago after I installed SPB SHELL 3D using lucky patcher, at first things were fine for 1 week or something and suddently it started boot looping. I can only get it to work again if I do a delvik cache clean up. Basically my situation right now is, I have to do a delvik cache clean up everytime I restart my phone or else the phone will keep boot looping. It loops right after or while the media scanning takes place. Sometimes long after I keep it idle n unlock the screen to select my launcher, then it crashes n reboots. But after a delvik cache clean up everything works fine as long as I keep my phone on.
One more thing, even if I select the default launcher I always have to select which launcher in ever boot. Setting are not saved for some reason.
What could be the problem? I really dont want to do a factory reset, I never did one before and im sure ill loose all setting and all data in each apps.
Btw I have a rooted phone...
Thanks....

Grab titanium backup pricey but worth every penny, use that to backup your apps and settings, and then factory reset and restore back.
Otherwise backup apps and data for apps with titanium and upgrade your rom to a newer version.
Im waiting for ICS, but ill loose root if I update rom. N finding the root process for new rom is a whole new story...
Update on my phones problem:
I noticed, it does a bootloop cuz SPB is patched n it keeps tryin to check licence n crashes n for some reason IM+ lite autostart makes it worse... Though nowadays im+ gets removed along with many other apps for no reason.

Update:
The problem feels like its related to my SD Card... Maybe because of too many apps installed in SD... About 310 apps in total

[Q] remove stock auto installing apps

Hi guys, I tried the stock leaked ICS XXLPH but since then everytime I flash a rom it goes through "installing applications" which installs the photo editing, Polaris, Swype and IM apps as well as some others that I can't remember.
Is there any way of removing this? a way of wiping everything for a clean install. I searched the internal memory as well as the external SD card and could not find anything.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
You want a custom rom with those features removed Or
Remove Samsung Apps script .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108479
If the apps are on the SD card wipe the card .
jje
Why don't you try a custom ROM like resurrection? Most stock apps have been removed and only the useful ones left
Hi guys, that's the problem. I am trying ROMs that don't have these apps but for some reason they keep auto installing after the first boot of every rom I flash. I looked on the internal memory as well as my SD card and couldn't find anything that wasn't there before. I made sure that I wiped the data, cache and dalvik cace before and after flashing the rom but as soon as Android boots it goes through that process before presenting the set up wizard.

Yeah same as me, it happens here as well.
Anyone got any other ideas, its annoying.
I experienced this kind of trouble while using GB based ROMs.
After moving to the ICSs it never happened again.
Duh, ever heard of Google backup and restore......
Next time you wipe or flash new ROM, start reading what's on screen instead of clicking next next.....

You can disable system apps in ICS. I hope that's good enough.

Any way to permanently delete auto-install on first-boot, only takes a few mins to uninstall them all but its still annoying, Or would i have to check each rom i downloaded for the CSC.apk each time and remove it?
i never get those installation lol yesterday flashd lp9 ics an flashd back to gb my stock...
Those files are located on /preload folder on the root directory, you can delete those apps from that location.
Those files come along with stock Samsung roms, custom Roma and cm9 don't use the /preload block.

Root directory of what? Searched with ES FE and nothing found...

ROM problem

Hey,
I installed cyanogenmod 9 on my gt-i9300, the installation went smooth, but then I had the great idea to install the Ninphetamin3 kernel as well, it turns out that they are not compatible with one another(or I did something wrong), now the phone starts up and keeps looping at the cm9 boot animation. I have no back ups on the internal sd card as I did these two actions at the same time, and the phone cannot read my original stock rom.
I might have accidentally deleted them in my haste(tried following a youtube fix that did not work9
question…..Can I put the cm9 rom and gapps on a micro sd, then plug it back into the phone and reinstall it this way?
btw this is my first android mobile, and I am using an osx system to root and any information on how to fix this problem via an osx system will be greatly appreciated.

Did you try wiping cache and dalvik cache?
99% of the time, wiping cache and dalvik cache will solve your bootloop problems and force closes.
Hey
Yepp I tried all of those, still no luck, will try with the micro sd later about 2am here in sthlm and I need some sleep before the old job...
I will update to say how it goes...
Ninphetamine kernel is a Samsung kernel, it is not compatible with CM9.
Why don't you just reinstall CM9?
hey,
That is what I would like to do, but I flashed cm9 with rom manager, and since my phone is stuck looping and the boot animation I cannot reco it from there. I tried doing it from clockworkmod recovery and cannot find the rom in the file system either....so my plan is to pop a micro sd into my computer transfer the files onto that, then pop it into the phone again and attempt to do it this way... Hopefully it can be done.
Download original firmware and flash with odin. Start over.

hmmm okey would it be better to start over from scratch then? would I have to format the entire internal sd before i start?
Also I cannot use odin(only osx or Ubuntu) so is the procedure the same with heimdall?
sorry for all the questions guys but like i said my very first android so a bit unfamiliar(should have switched ages ago)

I transfered the cm9 and gapps onto my ext sd card using a laptop, then back into the phone. I reflashed and basically I have a phone that I can use again..
One more thing I noticed since reinstalling the cm9 rom
I got everything back but when I go to the play store on my computer it no longer recognizes my mobile, but
if I access it through my mobile it does is there any explanation for this?
Not a big deal but it would be nice to reinstall apps and some paid apps again without having to pay for them again..
any ideas?
Perhaps something to do with the baseband on cm9?

okey, I just found it a bit strange that I can still download most of the paid apps from the play store via the phone and not the computer.
Does that mean if I restore the stock rom(no intention) that the store would recognize the phone again?
Just use your computer and flash stock rom to your GS3, that's how i solved similar problem with GS2 when it was looping.
Odin is fairly easy to use, tons of instructions online, finding right stockrom online might be time consuming.
Backup your phone ALWAYS! With cwm, i have big list of backups always ready, everytime you messing with new roms, kernels or what ever changes you make, it's worth the time, trust me.

Use galaxy s3 toolkit to backup your firmware to pc,look in development section.
And ALWAYS backup your imei nr(EFS folder) use K-TOOL from market(free) or EFS pro(pc)
