[Q] Standing no where - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sometimes over efficiency kills you instantly and this is what happened to me. I moved to "apex launcher" and disabled touchwiz to get more free space in ram. Today, I wanted to update apex and it failed. I then thought to remove the previous version so I can install new one separately. I went into apps and removed apex. Bang, I was standing no where, i had noting to launch. I restarted phone but it stuck on boot logo. I went to recovery and reflashed the rom (wanamlite) without wipe. Phone rebotted, app upgrading appears, but it stuck at starting app.
Now how can I restore my phone without wipping. I don't have any nandroid backup.. Thanks for help.

try and create a CWM flashable zip with any launcher apk included (say Apex), and flash using CWM? I think you should be able to mount sd card from CWM

Or just push a launcher apk in system/app from computer.. A cwm with file manager was on front page of xda some week ago.. Would be perfect for you

Reboot into Download Mode, utilize Odin to flash back to JFD (directions in the Vibrant Bible sticky thread in the Dev forum), root, install ROM Manager, and then reinstall Bionix.

Find a copy of the update.zip from clockwork. Put this on your sd card (the internal one) and try the reinstall packages option.
If this doesn't work. Research odin and do a restore using it.

Did you put it on your internal sd card? If you can't boot you would have had to use ADB to push it there....
EDIT: Also, did you have a lag fix enabled, namely voodoo, before you tried to "restore"?
I have attached a copy of the update.zip for cwm vibrant and a copy of the files needed for adb. Let me know if you need help setting it up.

[Q] how do install Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2

hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!
download
move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

Anyone know how I can get google apps, or at least the Market, on this? Preferably without ADB, since it doesn't seem to cooperate with my system. Root explorer's easy enough.
I flashed with zip over Auto Nootered 1.0.1 and everything works fine now. But the issue is that I cannot access Clockwork Recovery any more. I tried Power + N button, also boot to recovery from Rom Manager but it simply reboots back to home screen.
I tried flashing via Rom Manager again. It shows that I am currently running Clockwork Recovery 3.0.0.5 but yet reboots to home screen. Without CWR, I cannot restore the backup I took. Please help.

Ok. But the iomonster version is to be booted from an SD card, right? My nandroid backup is also on the sd card. I believe I should use a blank SD to create the CWR bootable card. So how can I boot CWR from sd and access the nandroid backup as well?

I am having the same problem. The bootable recovery isn't working, for me. I can't access recovery, no matter what I do.

Having problems right after root.

When ever my phone's screen is off, aka when I'm sleeping, it will automatically go back to the original Samsung launcher, instead of Go Launcher, which is what I have installed and defaulted. Sometimes it goes back to stock launcher when my phone is sitting around for a few minutes, doesnt have to be overnight. When I make the transition from stock launcher to Go Launcher, I get "Problem loading widgets" Pretty annoying.
Second, some apps stop working and disappear (from the notification bar). Specifically Lookout Security, Juice Defender, WidgetLocker (goes back to stock locker) and BatteryBar notification battery icon. I'm not sure whats going on, I have no ROM flashed, the only thing I have added since my root have been: AdFree, SuperUser, Titanium Backup, and Screenshot it. I have no idea what do do now, thanks.

Not sure what its happening, but one thing you can try is freezing all the launchers you are not using titanium backup and leaving only one that you want to use. That will keep the launcher from changing when you don't want.
But take caution, don't freeze all the launchers - make sure one is still available, or you will get a soft brick that you will have to either re flash or restore a nandroid backup.

#1: When the phone gives you the option to choose a launcher
as default there is a little checkbox on the bottom which you can
checkmark before selecting your preferred default launcher so it will
not ask you everytime you go to the home screen or restart the phone.
#2: In order to SAVE any settings you make while using Go Launcher
you need to open the settings for Go Launcher and scroll down until
you see "save" and "restore".
After making any changes to anything in Go Launcher use the save
settings in go launcher.
#3: Problem loading widgets after reboot is a commonly known issue
in many launchers. The stock Touchwiz 4 launcher does not have this problem.
The only time you will see this problem is when you reboot the phone
or if you power off the phone and restart it.
If you do not select and save as default the launcher of your choice
it may not startup with whatever customizations and additions you
have made to it.
P.S. these problems you are experiencing have nothing to do with rooting the phone.
Good Luck!

Can you tell me what the name of the stock Samsung launcher is in Titanium?
Go Launcher is my default, its always been this way too. By the way, I just plugged my phone in to drag and drop a file and after I disconnected the USB via the notification bar option, the phone restarted on its own and went to the stock Samsung launcher, giving me the widget problem again. I pressed the home button and it gives me the option to choose my default launcher, which is Go Launcher, which I've selected 20 times already. This happened after I rooted so I assumed that was the problem.
Thanks alot though guys.
Quick edit: This whole default home screen problem happens when I reboot my phone, I just tried it a few times and that seems to be it

What rom are you using? If it's the stock or stock rooted 2.3.4 i777 SGS2
rom then your default launcher which came with the rom is Touchwiz 4.
If you installed/flashed some custom rom then your launcher is possibly something
other than Touchwiz 4 but either way the STOCK launcher for i777 is Touchwiz 4.
Either way your best bet would be to flash the "UnNamed 1.0.4" custom rom.
It has the stock Touchwiz 4 launcher. If you like Go Launcher better
you can download and install from the market. It's a free app.
After you do this, just re-read my previous reply if you still have
any problems. (which I doubt).
The UnNamed rom is currently the best custom rom available for our
phones. It can be downloaded here: update-unnamed-v1.0.4-full.zip
After you flash this rom I bet your problems will magically disappear.
I have no ROM flashed currently, just rooted applications.
Very tempting, however I'm new to this whole rooting and flashing process, I definitely don't want to brick my phone. So, do I flash this ROM via Rom Manager? Where do I put this UnNamed file?

If your phone is properly rooted, flash the UnNamed rom using
CWM Recovery.
The easiest way to get to CWM Recovery is to go to the market
and download a free app called "reboot recovery".
After it's installed, you will be able to go to CWM Recovery
with one click.
You can find this "Reboot Recovery" app here: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/reboot-recovery_vusz.html
First download the UnNamed rom and copy it to your sdcard
(don't put it into any folder)
Then when you are in CWM Recovery select "install zip from sdcard".
Then select the UnNamed rom file you copied to your sdcard.
Once it's selected (highlighted) press the HOME key in cwm recovery.
After it's done flashing select "Reboot system" in CWM Recovery.
That's all there is to it.. The whole process after downloading
the new custom rom is less than 5 minutes.
Good luck!
You guys are extremely helpful, I gave a thanks to every post in here. So before I flash this ROM, do I need to backup what I currently have? I typically back up with Titanium.
Im currently downloading the ROM.

Yes, it's a good idea to backup the existing rom.
Sorry I forgot to mention it.
You cannot backup a rom with titanium.
Use CWM Recovery to backup the rom.
It's just as easy to backup or restore a rom in
CWM Recovery than it is to flash a new custom rom.
CWM has a option in the menu which says:
"Backup/Restore".
Titanium backup only backs up APPS and
the cooresponding data and system files.
(not roms).
Good Luck!
Sounds good, I just backed up via CWM and I'm still waiting for the ROM to download. Thanks for taking me through this whole process by the way

Another thing I forgot to mention is that after you have flashed the UnNamed
rom if you want to use the Titanium Backup to restore your apps, never
select "Restore All Apps and System Data".
If you do it will cause a lot of problems and force closes (fc's).
The way to restore apps with Titanium Backup when using custom
roms is to select "restore missing apps with data" only.

Okay, I just flashed the ROM and all of my apps are still there, are you saying that when I flash a new ROM my apps should not be there, and that I have to restore them via Titanium Backup?
Well, I did another reboot and Im having the same problems as before.
Also, everytime I disconnect USB mass storage my phone automatically re-boots. Only after a root did this happen...

Go back into cwm recovery and do a fresh/clean flash of the UnNamed
rom by selecting "wipe data/factory reset" in cwm recovery then go
ahead and select "install zip from sdcard" like you already have.
Then before you either restore apps or install apps check out the rom.
It will not have any problem at all and it will only have the
Touchwiz 4 launcher which it comes with.
After that if by restoring or installing go launcher you start having
problems, either stick with Touchwiz 4 launcher or choose a different
launcher (not go launcher) there are dozens of launchers in the
android market to choose from and 99% of em are free.
Best bet though... stick with Touchwiz 4. (my opinion only).
You might want to either install or restore one app at a time
and see which one is perhaps causing your problem too.
Some apps are just not 100% compatible with either the
phone itself, or with certain launchers.

It makes no difference how you rooted the phone
because all these new custom roms are pre-rooted.
So whatever you did to root the phone does not matter.
These custom roms over-write any existing rooting.
Be sure that when you are not using usb storage
that you go into settings and enable "USB debugging".
Still having these problems, I went ahead and Unrooted my phone. Ill try this whole process at another time. Bookmarking this thread and thanked you again.

[Q] I8552 Samsung Grand Quattro goes straight in CWM Recovery, after a fail backup

Hey, this is the first time I'm posting a problem here. I have a Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro (I8552). I rooted my phone yesterday via cwm recovery, and then made a backup using ROM Manager. It rebooted my phone directly into a backup page where it started backing it up, but my internal memory wasn't big enough so it failed and since then I haven't been able to boot my phone up... When I try to turn it on it goes straight into CWM Recovery page, and when I click "reboot system now" it turns off the screen and then reboots it again into CWM Recovery...
Then, since I couldn't access the apps (as the phone won't start), I made another backup through CWM Recovery, but this time in my external SD Card which had about 6 gb free space. So it made and completed the backup without any problems. But when I restore it from my ext SD Card it restores the system and stuff but then when it comes to data it shows the message
Error while restoring /data!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
. Every time.
And so I tried
wipe data/factory reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it does it, and completes the process, but still it won't boot up, neither by
reboot system now
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
nor by removing battery and trying to restart.
Mind you, I didn't flash any new ROMs, it was still running my stock ROM when this happened...
So to sum up the things I've tried
1. Reboot system now
2. Backup in extSD Card (which worked) and restore from the same (which didn't work)
3. Wipe data/factory reset
Also one more thing, before any of this mess was made, right after I rooted my phone, I made a backup of all apps through the app called
Titanium Backup root
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.
Is there any way I can get out of this mess? And maybe make my phone accessible again.
And if somehow by sheer stroke of luck and your expertise, if I do get out of this mess, is there any way to root my phone again and recover the apps or appdata from the already made CWM backup? or the Titanium Backup I made (or is it gonna be gone because of the factory reset?).
Thank you in advance for any help or try you might

Yeah, but then will I be able to restore from the same backup (cwm) that's causing problems now, or will it not work even then?
And what about the backup I made with the Titanium Backup app, will I be able to retrieve app data from there?
Because the very reason I was backing it all up was to protect the app data, and it's pretty important. So is it possible to save it after stock flashing?
The stock recovery flasher will help u get out of that loop. Check the link posted above.

Thank you so much... the link worked like a charm. I flashed it through extSD card and it loaded and on clicking reboot it booted the phone right up. I had to go through the factory reset setting as I clicked it before. But almost no important data was lost. All photos videos and documents remained. And for better or for worse the whole thing actually made my phone a lot faster...
Thank you so much.
