Factory reset. Now What? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok, so lately I've been running the Nemus Launcher on my Atrix, and I've been having issues with the screen locking up, apps not working, and overall unresponsiveness. I used to run ADW Launcher EX with no problems, so I decided to go back to it to see if that would help. Well, after tweaking the icons how I wanted them to look in ADW, I stopped running Nemus and made ADW my default again. Then the trouble really began. My phone quit doing anything. Every time I would try to open an app, move one around on the screen, or anything else, the phone would either freeze up or restart. After messing with it for a few hours that night, I gave up and went to bed. The next day just got worse. All the phone did was repeatedly restart every time I tried to do anything to it. This continued into today (Sunday), so I decided the only way to fix it was to start over, so I did a factory reset. Now, I'm trying to reinstall all my apps, but I don't even have Google Play store on the phone anymore. It shows up as Android Market again, and it only shows some of my apps in the library. Its been reinstalling some of them automatically, but its trying to install them multiple times at once. This has been going on for 5 hours now. At this point, I don't know what to do to get my apps back on, so I can make phone back how it was with ADW running. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Shawn

If it was my phone, I'd boot into recovery, flash the full wipe zip, then flash a new Rom.

Where can a full wipe zip be found? All I've been able to find is the ffw which is done thru fastboot and connected to computer.

And you should let a moderator decide where to move a thread to. There's a report button for a reason, you posting the same thing in every thread isn't constructive at all. Why not answer the question and just report the thread so it gets moved?

What You need to do is udpate android market to google play, so go to settings->applications->Manage applications-> choose "all' tab find market app then clear all data there and it should update automatically when you launch market. Good luck

Thanks fellas, I reset the Market and it updated to Playstore. AND, yes I suppose this thread should've probably been somewhere else, but at the time, I was stressing pretty hard about loosing everything on my phone. I searched the threads, but didn't see anything close to what I needed to say, so I figured the General section was sufficient. Sorry if I offended the thread trolls

It is in Th3Bill's section at jokersax.com

Ok, so I've been playing with my phone and got it pretty much back how it was (minus some programs/apps I decided not to re-install) and it runs way faster now. BUT, NOW IT'S EATING MY BATTERY UP BAD! I only have a few widgets enabled and not much running in the background (nothing like before the reboot), but today it ate my battery almost completely up from 7:30am to 11:00am. The phone is getting really HOT too. WTF

Market problems

I'm having trouble updating and purchasing apps from the market.
I keep getting a force closure message. Its been like it for a few days now and not sure why.
is anyone else having the same trouble. Is it possible to re load the market app to try and get it to work.
Cheers

Every so often i'll keep getting force close messages when installing or updating apps too. What seems to have worked for me is to go to:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > (Change filter to all applications) > Market > Uninstall updates.
Then, when i run everything again, it works fine. It's worth a try anyway to see if it works.
It worked! thanks for the tip!

Annoying market problem: stuck at starting download

Hello,
wondering if anyone experienced the same. Just got my evo 3d today and was able to download a few apps from the market but now can't download anything. It looks like it starts and downloads but wont install. If you go to my apps section, u can see the downloads still stuck at starting download. Would like to fix without starting fresh. So far I have tried clearing the market cache and data, the download manager cache and data, soft reset battery pull.
Any help would be appreciated

Go into settings then applications, manage applications then pick the all tab. Find market the clear cache. That should fix it.

I use to have that problem sometimes on the evo but haven't had any problems on the 3D. I remember on the evo if you signed in and refreshed your google talk it would fix it. Don't know if that is still the case.

Thank, but I tried that, if you would have read the original post, you would see that I have tried that. But thanks anyway I guess
Thank you all for replying, I did a reset since i found no working solution to fix that error. This thread can be closed.

Think i have trashed my Prime

Hey all used this guide to upgrade stock jellybean,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909819
Worked brilliantly and then got above my skill level when removing some bloatware, normally i copy the apks i remove however this time i pressed delete by mistake, now have huge issues with play store and other apps. I have deleted too many apks
Have tried installing google apks again but still no joy. Does any one know of a way i can install JB again to start afresh i did try downgrading as per the guide but that didnt actually remove the JB firmware. I feel although even with huge amounts of help from flumpster (many thanks) we arnt cracking it so a fresh install is prob best, i just hope someone knows how to.
Thanks in advance.

This is the full Rom which should add your so called bloatware again.
Before deleting any apps you may first freeze them and see if all goes well without them.
Actually, there is no need to actually delete them. As long as they are frozen or disabled, they won't be active.

Thanks for the help do you know how i can install as i said my prime is stuck on the startup wizard and i cant get past that, it just says setup wizard has stopped and then recycles it. is there a way of installing from Fastboot or ADB bootloader.
Good question. I would just give it a try. Since you are not within a bootloop you may also be able to adb push missing files and start with a maybe functioning device...

Sorry for sounding so silly could some one please give me a quick guide on either how to push the whole image Tobi referenced earlier or the launcher that Hawkysoft talks off and where i can get it, as mentioned i only have adb or fastboot usb access to my device.
Many thanks Guys.
Can anyone list the commands needed to carry out the above.
Oh man you still having this prob? And Erhm out of my head if adb works... Adb push filename \pathname\

thanks guys, I had posted more details in Wug's toolkit thread since I thought a flash of the factory image would fix me up, and I thought the toolkit could be used to do that.

this all started after everything appeared to unlock and root fine, but I tried to install some inverted apps by travp which did not go well.
I'm trying to flash the factory image, the included one fails, so I went and got my own, but its not rebooting as I expect it would?
when the cmd box comes up on the computer it says "wait for your device to finish booting up" but mine never reboots?
I can get into the bootloader, and into TWRP, but even after factory reset is keeps giving me this: android.process.acore has stopped
and I can't get past the "google & location" setup screen.
am I missing something with flashing the factory image?

I didn't want to be the guy who gets all excited and posts the same damn question in three different forums. But now its been a day and a half, and I just got a call that's going to take me out of the country again next week, so I'd like to fix this sooner rather than later.
Rather than threadjack, perhaps I should make a new post? oh well, you asked!
This tablet is my second android device (I came from a TP2), and my first is a Moto DX2 with a locked bootloader. I have flashed roms and used the moto sbf process and even tinkered with radiocomm for the TBH 3G hotspot hack, but unlocked bootloaders and Samsung devices are new to me.
I unlocked and rooted fine, and then tried to use Wug's toolkit to flash the inverted apps (and didn't nandroid like a dummy). That's when things went south. The calendar worked, talk force closed, it duplicated the email app, but the inverted one force closed, and the people/contacts app is where I think things got really borked. The tablet is currently running, but the people app is totally missing. I can get into the bootloader, and into TWRP, and I've factory reset a few times but the issue remains. I thought flashing the factory image would be like the moto sbf process and bring me back to stock. It seems like the toolkit isn't flashing it though, because it never reboots, it just hangs at the bootloader.
After the initial flash of those apps it took me a while to get through setup, because that "android.process.acore has stopped" error kept occuring. After trying a while I finally fully booted and that's where I'm at now.
I have not previously used adb or the sdk, but again thought the toolkit would do it?
______________________________________________________________________
Edit: well I tried the mskip tool instead and that flashed the factory image just fine.
I had some wierdness with the play store disappearing after an update, but I just re-downloaded the apk and that seemed to solve that.

[SOLVED] 2GB Apps partition is full?!

Hi guys, i just work up and i found the attached notification. I didnt even go to market for the past week iirc. For the past 3 days i am very sure i didnt. And i went to Setings -> Application i saw i was left with 14MB. It keeps jumping between 13 and 14MB free.
Anyone encounter this before? Can guide me where to start troubleshooting? Im gonna restart the phone first. But i hope to find out the root cause
EDIT: just tried and it is still persistent

I do surf the web but i do not download stuff often, including apps. Im on the stock jelly bean leak and philz kernel. I just cleared cache and dalvik from recovery but no help. My total apps size never crossed 1GB and when i came over to this rom i only restored what i needed only which i doubt it every crossed 600MB. I am on this ROM ever since it was released on xda and i have no issues until this morning which i find it odd.
I tried to uninstall an app but it Didnt help much
