Bootloop after flashing meanbean - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi All
I decided to flash meanbean 1.03. Everything flashed ok and restored with titanium backup. I didnt reboot after titanium restore and everything was working fine. I rebooted and got a bootloop.
How can I find out what caused the bootloop?
TIA
Al

Idk how you could find what went wrong but it probably has top do with Titanium resorting some sort of system data from a different room ROM that conflicts with mean bean. Do you do a "Restore all Apps and system data" in Titanium?

I restored all apps with data. I think that caused the problem. I recreated my starting point then restored missing apps with data and that solved the problem.

I normally wouldnt disagree with you but I know for sure I hit "restore all apps with data" and not "restore missing apps + all system data".

Remember though all apps with data is every app you backed up including system apps. But either way you're good now!

do you use titanium backup to restore apps? I know if you try to restore 'system' apps and data it will result in FC city

How else would I backup and restore?

Use titanium, but do NOT restore system apps. if you ever use titanium to auto backup it will backup system apps but you never wanna carry these over to a different rom. Restore your games and downloaded apps, just not system apps or anything you don't recognize.

Sounds like a lot of work to go through all my apps and pick out the system ones. I restored apps + system data so that I would have my passwords

I believe it has options to restore 'user' and 'system' apps, only do USER apps and data... these are your games and widgets and market apps

my problem is that though like i turn on my phone... and everything freezes.. then I know my phone's going to reboot. it's not really a force close.

if you wanna back everything up it couldn't hurt to do a complete wipe and reflash of the rom, that usually fixes most problems

I've done a complete wipe and re-flash twice and still getting random reboots. Not really force closes anymore

Well that's good no more force closes.. as for the random reboots, it seems to happen with ComRom I don't know why, a bug perhaps. I've heard a few people say they have them, including myself

Well, it doesn't seem very popular, but here is what I do:
Essentially, I make a full (cache and Dalvik wiped) Nandroid backup, but only restore the user data from the backup. I have other backup apps, such as TB, etc, but I don't use them.
This has worked for db/do stock, Com, EF, and MIUIWiz ROMS, back and forth.
TouchWiz ROMs only (all the above) (There is a different formatter for MTD ROMS)
I use Nandroid backup/Advanced Restore (Data only) (in CWM)
I always wipe cache and Dalvik before I backup, so the Restore is clean
After making the backup, or right before a flash, I run the Ext4 formatter to wipe everything
(this can solve a lot of issues)
Flash the ROM
Reboot fully
Back to Recovery
Run Nandroid Advanced Restore (Restore Data)
Good to go.
If problems occur after that, (very rare for me) you could reflash the ROM. Alternately, you could wipe c and D, and flash again.
I have not tried this with MTD ROMs yet.

What batch operation should I run in TiBu

when restoring?
"restore all apps with data", "restore missing apps with data"....?

depends on what you have already on your phone... is TiBu the only app you've downloaded from the market? then you may want 'all your apps with data', i think the missing apps option is if you can't find or forget some apps from before

As long as you don't restore any system apps, you're fine.
It also depends on what ROM you're restoring from and too. If you're switching between a TW ROM and CM7/MIUI or such, then restoring data is likely to lead to force closes. It can work if you get the settings right in TiBU, but you have to be cautious.

Yup, no problem. But don't restore system apps, only data.
It should all go well, but if you encounter any issues, just download app from market and then restore data from titanium for the problem app
Just be careful while restoring app+data for some apps. For ex: Some users have reported that after flashing a new ROM, restoring app+data for Facebook has created problems. Solution is to restore only app.

I can confirm that with Facebook, some settings such as Sync All may not be as per applied as previous, on my HTC Desire HD, it used to replicate several contacts on top.
Guys I have this problem with Titanium Backup, when performing backup for "All user apps+system date" my phone restarts. I did it 4 times and same thing happens. Theres no definite percentage when the phone restarts but the most far progress is around 40%. Please can someone help me with this.
@Tenggoy ... is USb debugging ticked... TB performs a lot better and more reliably when this is selected.
thanks

Make sure you have the latest version of Titanium Backup and enable USB debugging. Hope that helps.

Your problem is you are trying to restore the system data as well. Never do that, just click restore missing apps which will just restore user apps and not the system data.

Titanium backup...

Im wiping my phone to go from GB to ICS. What batch backup selection in Titanium Backup is the right one to save my apps that wont cause problems with a completly different rom. Just want to be sure....
I always just do the ones on top
"Backup all user apps"
Then batch restore
"Missing apps with data"
Then if that were to cause problems, which for me it rarely does even did that going from my captivate to my note without issue, but if it did cause issues, simply factory reset in recovery ads only restore the apps themselves without data.
Only restore downloaded apps and data.
No system data. I did both earlier and all hell broke loose.

Since we are on the subject of backing up and restoring... is it possible for TB to remember which apps you had frozen and refreeze those apps during a full restore?

[Q] Galaxy S III Backup

I am new with this and I have one question.
Is it possible to back up wifi passwords, email accounts and all those stuff, before flashing a custom ROM so I can just restore them after flashing.

Yes. Root your phone and use a backup app like Titanium Backup. Then save the folder somewhere, flash the new custom rom, restore the folder and then everything else you want with the app.

I have Titanium Backup.
Is there anything else I should backup other then "Backup all user app + system data"?

No, just copy the TitaniumBackup folder with all the backups somewhere that won't get lost.
Also, when you restore after installing another rom, DO NOT restore the system data. Only the user stuff. Or at least not all the system data. For example wifi points are ok, but don't restore any system apps.

Is it a problem for you to be a little more specific, please.
When I look at "Restore" section of Titanium, I don't see how can I restore only wifi points or email accounts.

Press the option button on the main page from TB.and scroll down to:
Backup data to XML....
Than you can choose to back up your WiFi,email and call log.

You can restore user app and data without any problem but if you want to restore system data then always use xml (TitaniumBackup will suggest you for that). If you will not use xml for system data then after restoring data your phone will crash and a lot of services will not work and terminate itself.
and finally you will have to reflash again.

I did xml backup for messages, wifi and call logs and I did "Backup user app+system data".
Is that what are you talking about?
