Hello.
I have really annoying problem.
Because of some stupid reason my search and home buttons are not working. That happened to me once when i was using OptimusWiz ROM. I Changed it to Oxygen. Eveyrthing worked normally. I started restoring my apps&data backup from Titanium backup. When Titanium restored my settings it told me i need to restart the device. I did it. And whoa-not working buttons. What happens? Which of my apps,or settings or..whatever. How can i fix that? Now i'm staying wothout apps because i don't know what happened.
Any fix,or reason why that's happening?

flash optimuswiz latest wipe everything,
See,it's not because of the ROM. First, i thought it's OptimusWiz bug, but it turned out it's not. The same thing is with Oxygen. The problem starts after i restore my apps&settings via Titanium Backup. Without restore eveyrthing works fine,and i worked fine. Dunno what happened. It doesn't matter wich ROM i'm using, it's because of app or setting,but dunno wich.

When you switch roms don't restore settings, only restore apps

hey mates !!
right umm.. yday i flashed this mod i donno which thread i had picked it up, it was to give wake option to vol down button , ( may be from TSM parts or ed05 posts )
i didnt notice anything at first ( as i was busy at work ) but after like 5 hours i saw that off and on the power wake was actually taking screen shots and also the soft keys started to flash erratically on a number of occasions whenever i was making a call.
TBH i was seeing this behavior from past 3 days as i was trying out eh09, geewiz ed05 and some nandroid backups that i had made in last few weeks , but it kind of got aggravated after the vol wake option mod.
yday night my phone was constantly searching for SVC whereas wife's phone on the same network was doing fine.
Now i have flashed Ed05 stock but i still feel that the issues might come again is there a way to format the file system and kernel changes and stuff.
regards
I've had a lot of the same issues. A data wipe and odin restore seem to help, but I still have some of the same problems. It might just be glitchy phones. Our luck of the draw.
Did both of you restore nandroids?
even if they're recent, I would try backing up your contacts, backup user apps only in TiBu, wipe and re-flash, then reinstall apps only in TiBu...not data, restore contacts, and then go and flash your mod and give it a few days. Of course i'm not positive this will work but I could swear I read on here where some folks had issues even with nandroid restores.

X2 agreed!!!
I did not do a nandroid restore, but I'm going to try to do a data wipe using the feature in the menu on the phone rather than on CWR, then re-flash and restore apps only with titanium.
Will attempting to restore my text messages lead to problems? I'll leave that step out this time as well. I love the phone on PWGB with the new voodoo kernel and will not be upgrading until this area gets 4G, which is going to be a while.
I've. Found that trying to do any type of restore, either nandriod or TB will always leave open the possibility for issues. The only reliable way for me has been to re-install apps after a new ROM flash or Odin.

I use app list backup, that way I'm not really restoring anything but it a very fast way to reinstall fresh from the market.

I tried a new rom out this morning (miui 1.12.30 {2.3.7} {1-1-2012}), liked the interface of the rom, but the phone started to heat up immediately. I need to do some more research of why this happened. So I decided to go back to Unammed via a nandroid backup. When restoring i get this error

Are you sure you wiped data and cache. Also dalvic. I always flash miui twice also. That happened to me once before and I re flagged and all is well. The reason it is overheating is cause it stays at Max frequency ( CPU). Anyways check out the Miui thread in development if you want to try it again.
As far as your restore error, I don't know.
One time at football camp, I put my shoulder pads in my arse.
I may try miui again in the future, just want to get back where i was before. Thanks.

I assume you have UnNamed back and all is working normally?
That message most likely means the restore was looking for something that was not present in the backup because it was not there to back up in the first place.

Yes, everything seems to be running fine, I'm wondering if miui installed something that a nandroid wont write over. I also noticed in cwm i can use the power button to select the option i choose, actually i can use both the home and power button now. So something has changed in cwm i believe.

sdcard/.android_secure is the hidden folder where apps2sd puts apps. It might be specific to cyanogen mod and miui, but not sure.
It happened when you first made your nandroid backup via cwm. The other day when I did a backup I watched it and saw the error skipping sdcard cause of no . android_secure . It has to do with cwm not being able to do a restore backup to our external sd. If you go in your external sdcard dir you will see the android secure file. So if next time you want your apps just move the file over for the backup and restore

Decided I better ask for help before digging a deeper hole...
I had rooted my Vibrant around September 2010 and tried some ROM at the time, don't remember which one. I didn't keep it for very long...I accepted one or two stock OTA updates thereafter, ending up with 2.1-update1/KA6.
Fast forward to yesterday, when I decided to try to go to Gingerbread so as to be able to install an app I wanted. I chose CM7.2. I presumed I wasn't rooted anymore after the OTA's, so used CWM to run the update.zip that I still had on the SD card from 2010. I did a Titanium backup. I started following the abbreviated directions, then went to the full directions here:http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Vibrant:_Full_Update_Guide
So I actually made two nandroid backups as a result of switching between the two sets of directions and getting distracted after I made the first one.
All went well, except after CM7.2 was booted and everything restored from Titanium, I had the following issues:
1. Messaging was broken
2. Most contacts were missing
3. GPS wouldn't lock
I poked around for fixes and tried some, but it was not looking promising. I decided I didn't really need that new app after all, and today tried to revert to stock. I supposed it would be a simple matter of a nandroid restore followed by a Titanium restore. Unfortunately the nandroid restore failed.
Research revealed this is a known issue with "different hboots".
I then compounded the issue by accidentally pressing the power button while in Recovery. The phone rebooted but stuck on the "Vibrant" splash screen, because of the corrupted restore attempt. No amount of 3-button resets got me back to Recovery. The phone is now connected to my laptop in Download mode.
I think what I now need to do is odin, per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13132341#post13132341
I will then be able to do a nandroid restore and Titanium restore and be back where I started? Any additional hints, warnings, etc?
Thanks in advance.
Be careful about what you backup with Titanium on stock and then restore on CM. Did you backup your Messaging app or any system data? If you restored system apps or data from a TI backup onto CM from stock, that could cause issues.
And about the contacts, where did you store them before? On Google, SIM, or in memory?
I may have clicked, in Titanium, "restore app and data" rather than just "data" for the messaging app. Thinking that may have been the case, I thought that reinstalling the ROM or Google apps zip files might fix it. It didn't. (this was before I soft-bricked)
Since I needed a working phone this afternoon, I went ahead and did the Odin thing. That went well. I am back to JFD and my contacts are back.
If I do a nandroid restore now, followed by a Titanium restore, it should get me back to where I was before starting the move to CM7.2, right? Except I would still have a JFD radio? (because nandroid does not touch that, as I recall)
In that case, finding a KA6 to install with odin would be best? And would there be any point to the nandroid restore if I did that?
GPS took a very long time to lock after going back to JFD, too. I think perhaps I need to try the antenna fix.
Maybe I will give CM7.2 another go...

If you do a nandroid restore you don't need to do a TI restore as nandroid will restore all your apps and data. (Even down to which wallpaper you're using and Wifi networks)
If the KA6 modem works best for you then go for it.

You don't need to be rooted, you just need a way to install. For example when you install from stock, you don't need to root it, only flash the custom kernel that has CWM, and then flash, since root is a state of the ROM.

Huh. Always thought you needed root to flash CWM.

Well, in our case we can use download mode + heimdall to flash a kernel that has the CWM recovery included.

Good evening XDA -people.
I do not really want to bother anyone, but I'm sure I do.
SO. I'm quite stressed about this as it happens all the time.
I got the PredatorUnity Rom (1.1 I guess, but it already happened before)
And if I try to do a nandroid backup it says it does work, sometimes it does NOT work though. so, I restart after that backup (or just a normal reboot, any kind of reboot causes this, even if I just go into recovery and don't change anything) the rom starts and boots alright for a few seconds and then does a hot restart.
So once this made me SO angry, I changed rom. then it actually went alright until I restored my apps via Titanium. then the same thing happened. Don't worry, I'm not that dumb anymore to backup my system apps. Anyway I located the apps that caused my bootloops. Chrome, Busybox etc. I THOUGHT SO. It looks like theres more.
The problem now is, everything worked well for a few days. EVEN 1 REBOOT WORKED! so now, I went into recovery to do a nand backup via rom manager and then just this..
so sorry. wi'll give thanks to any useful comment
oh yea. just for you to know if you need it;

It almost sounds like you've got a bad recovery. I would reflash it.
which recovery are you using? The latest 4ext seems to work best. Lots of roms here support it.
If you get everything working again, I would redo all your backups also.

Thanks man
I am using the latest 4ext touch.. and I flashed it only about a week ago! I've had these problems before- and after the recovery change. should I reflash it anyway?

It wouldn't hurt anything to reflash it but if you've had these problems before and after then its probably not your problem.
Have you tried other roms? And still get these problems?

Okay I won't take it as an option then. At least not for now..
I did, but as I said it broke after I restored my apps via titanium..
Yeah, I've seen that thread and I can be sure it isn't this as it doesn't reboot randomly. only afer a reboot. Like, you wanna break your phone? reboot it! haha
I really love Sense 4 and the predators' rom is really awesome, but I'd even try a AOSP rom. Onbly problem is, I don't think I could restore sms (I saved them via the stock sense sms)
Oh and if this could be a problem; today I downloaded BootManager lite and saved my boot.img? didn't do anything but might have been a problem for the backup?? Ah I dunno...

Guess I'm out of ideas also.
Wondering about Titanium backup pro though. It updated when I went on the market the other day. I bought the pro version awhile back. Now after the update when I go in and try to remove something from a rom, it tells me it can't.
I used to make user app and then delete or uninstall. Won't do it anymore with Titanium Backup. However, Rom Toolbox pro will.

aw man.. Thansk anyway
I don't know exactly what you mean, because all I ever did was backup and restore
I do have Pro, but just because of Lucky Patcher haha
So Rom Toolbox Pro is better? (got that too, not using it tho)
Alright. it seems like all I can do right now is; flash the latest radio, do a super wipe, (now comes the worst) restore an old nand. sense backup, restore my sms, download another sms backup program, use it, do a super wipe, etc etc etc. and install the aosp rom (sense 3.6 feels ugly after sense 4..) or whatever else I find and restore the sms that way and then live like never before.
OR I try to install the latest predator, which has a new base.
I'll do the last thing haha
Use twrp everyone says 4ext is great but get twrp
Hit the thanks button if i helped
So I have a fairly new Blue 9300 and it was working fine and then started not responding to my finger on the lock screen. Then I would try to use the power button to cycle the screen on and off and it wont work. Sometimes I can hold the power button and get the power off menu to appear and then sometimes it will respond and let me reset.
First Question: Anyone else have this?
Second: I think it may be due to flashing so is there a superwipe I can try?
Ok, what did you do prior to this, which Rom etc

Not too much. Rooted it busybox super user. That's it. I did do a full backup from my white 9300 and restored to the blue 9300 but have since reflashed stock everything from Odin and still have bug. I restored through MyBackup Pro after the Odin reflash. I was hoping for some kind of super wipe to try and one last restore and then this bad boy is going back to Sammy I think :crying:
Edit
Mybackup restore was just call logs and sms mms no apps.
try a complete fresh Odin flash with no restore of anything and see how that goes, then if you are going to do a restore do a bit at a time if all is good, and see if that gives you any indication of where the problem may lie

Ok so I'm guessing no super wipe yet for sgs3. Never got the point of them but now I wouldn't mind. Should I do a factory reset and then odin restore? I think part of the issue was that I didn't do a reset before the Odin flash before. All My info was still there after Odin except my root haha
there is a super wipe app over in general, just be aware that this wipes sd card as far as I know

Ok I'm back to using the it (it's my loved pebble blue that I hunted down ) and it seems fine only issue I am now getting is a not responding on the Messaging app. This is kinda weird as this is one of the things I did restore. It happened right after the restore. When I go into the messaging app it does the same thing and force closes.
