[Q] Help Please! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted my htc one and the camera stopped working. I didnt notice this until after i installed a custom kernel and when i unrooted, the kernel was still present and the camera still does not work. I also backed up my stuff on titanium backup because thats what everyone said to do if you were going to install kernals/roms. But when i saw the camera wasnt working, i tried reseting to factory and lost everything, including titanium backup.. so what im wondering is, is there any way to get back my stuff and is there any way to completely reset to factory settings as if it were day 1, including the kernel?

titanium backup application may have been lost , but the data might be present in your sd card
so if you install the app again you will find your data there .
to completely reset your phone as the way you got you will have to flash stock rom again then root it and restore apps by titanium

please help!!!! random reboots with mutiple roms..

for some reason every rom I flash works great until I Install my apps. Now I use Titanium for my backup and installation of all my apps . Ive ran a scan in my app data and everything is clean. Ive even gone so far as to manually download every app I have from the market one by one . But every time I finally get everything set up and customized the way I want my phone start rebooting every 5 min.it reboots and loads everything fine and once i start using my phone my soft keys stop working but my screens touch works fine I can scroll click on things etc . thats when I know its going to reboot.then it starts every five minutes... now Ive used Cyanogen 9,Mikrom,Viper,Synergy and every one does this. Of course I do a complete wipe of all my data ,cache and partitions etc before I flash Every rom but nothing helps. Ive gone through the process of factory resets and wiping everything at least 10 times with each rom. Upon my days and hours apon hours of research the only suggestions I found was the possibility of a corrupted partition, and to re-install the ruu to completely clean all partitions and set everything back to original then try again . so I did , then I rerooted and and flashed a rom. with the same results. i know its either something Im doing or not doing thats causing this because to have his happen with every rom I flash isnt just the rom. now ..when Im on my stock rom I dont have this issue . so I know Its not a hardware issue. its just when I flash a new rom.
and another thing I noticed is after a couple random reboots it takes a while to connect to my 3g and turn my signal on. in fact sometimes it wont automatically connect until i open my connection in settings. I dont have to click on connect or anything ,all i have to do is basically open my settings or my quick toggles in my navigation bar.
and on a side note. well maybe its a side note maybe might be the actual cause of the problem haha.. when i do a factory reset through recovery everything works fine but i get an error [E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2] but everything finishes and resets fine as far as I know ... but could this be whats causing these reboots? when i look through my file explorer I find all of the mmcblk files but it seems that this file is the only one not there. can I fix this ?
Evo3d cdma rooted s-off hboot 1.4 revolutionary
Your "side note" might just be your problem. Have you tried a factory reset with another recovery, or maybe redownload and flash the same recovery.
Also, are you restoring data for system apps with titanium backup?
Are you flashing the correct hboot for the Rom you're installing?

I redownloaded and installed the same recovery when I unrooted and rerooted ...is there another recovery you suggest trying ? I used the recovery that came with the revolutionary.zip
No I'm just restoring user apps from the market and 3rd party downloaders (4shared etc.)
And as far as the h.boot. when i was downgrading my h.boot to 1.4 ,after I downgraded my bootloader said 1.4 but I couldn't root through revolutionary . And I found that I needed to downgrade my software from 2.18.... In order for me to be truly at 1.4 hboot and run revolutionary. So I did and it worked perfectly . So now my software is 1.13.651.7. To be honest I wasn't sure if me upgrading to a newer software and running a newer RUU (not an ota ,just higher than 1.13...if it would cause any problems with my root as far as upgrading my h.boot to one that doesn't work with revolutionary as I had that issue with trying to root originaly.

So I think its something to do with me moving my apps to sd. I only move my user apps and use titanium to do so. Now I have all my apps restored from titanium but didn't move any to sd and I havent had any reboots ...my internal memory is kind of low but its not lagging ... But I can't put any of my games on because they are big on memory . And I'm already low . Does anybody know what's causing my reboots when I move my apps to sd ? Would creating a partition on my sd card fix this ?
Oh and I used a different recovery to do my full wipe ( team wins recovery ) and it didn't give me the error I was getting before . Which is good .but I still got my random reboots .. but I noticed I only get them when I move all my user apps to sd . ( besides my lwps , widgets, system apps and things like setcpu etc.)

[Q][TMO M7] Having way too much trouble making, restoring backups, flashing new ROMS

Hello,
So I've been running TrickDroid 8.0.0 on my T-Mobile HTC One for almost 3 months now, and it's time for me to upgrade. The problem is that when I do flash a new ROM it is virtually impossible for me to migrate my data. The past few times I tried flashing a new rom it was ARHD 22.0, and every time Titanium Backup would fail miserably in restoring my old data (restoring missing apps + data, extracting from nandroid backups, they would all hang up at 0% and not do anything). So everytime I would say screw it, restore my old TrickDroid 8.0 backup, and try again. This time I just want to go to TrickDroid 11.0, but I'm running into even more problems.
First and foremost is that my superuser app no longer has SU privileges, despite the fact that I obviously had SU before, and even when I would try flashing to ARHD, the problem with the restore process was never that I didn't have SU, but rather something else down the line. I'm not sure why all of a sudden this is an issue, but when I try to install in recovery like the app asks, it says it can't be done. I've tried rebooting, and even installing other superuser apps, and none of them are working all of a sudden. How can I fix this?
Furthermore, since whatever I do to restore backups never works, what would you all suggest is the easiest way to restore data and apps after a full wipe?
Thank you all so much!

In my expercience ur having trouble with root, are u going from 4.2.1 to 4.3 ?? if so go check out chainfirez page and theres a fix u need to flash so the su binary works with 4.3. let me know how it goes bro
IMHO? HTC'S backup that's built into the phone (linked to dropbox). I've flashed my phone probably 15 times since I got it and it works. Every time.

[Q] hard factory reset with safestrap/rooted phone

Hey all,
I have a Razr Maxx (well until a few months from now when i can get a better phone).
It is rooted. and has SafeStrap (I used to use the other slots to try some 4.1.2 and 4.3 roms but they all had issues with the radio signal so just been using Stock rooted rom), and VooDoo OTA rootkeeper (Verizon updated my phone OTA the other day, VooDoo seemed to work yay.... still was at 4.1.2, think it was only a security update heh).
Anyway, I'd like to do a Factory Reset since the stock rom, after installing all the apps I thought I wanted, becomes so slow.
Curious if I can do it via SafeStrap->Wipe->Advanced Wipe for the Stock Rom Slot .... or should I do any safety things like remove SafeStrap or TempUnroot it via VooDoo then do it via the phone way of doing it (by pressing some buttons at once). I'd like to still keep root. Wasnt sure what best procedure is.
Probably will just have Google Maps and Spotify on there (Titanium Backup, VooDoo, and a few others) and never install the 100 'used only once/twice a year' apps on there currently.
Thanks for any advice,
Ari
Rant: My phone seems to always get so slow once install the cool apps I want... and I've tried all the cache-clearing solutions on the stock rom but never works. (not sure why, me and all my android friends seem to have these issues once install apps. None of these apps seem to be doing anything on boot/startup based on Memory/TaskKiller apps I use to look at current apps, so not sure what slows the phone down).

Yeh it did work out. I think I just the regular button? combo to do a Hard Factory Reset.
I may have done the VooDoo Unroot and re-added it back in via VooDoo...
that or I may have had to re-root the phone though (think latter is what i did).
Either way I got root back.
The annoying thing is Verizon or Google? backed up which programs I had installed and it just reinstalled all of them immediately after a factory reset.... so it became mostly unusable again. Tried a few programs to figure out if its CPU or Memory and cant figure out why still slow.

so you would advise against
SafeStrap->Wipe->Advanced Wipe for the Stock Rom Slot.
the reason why im asking is because I cant seem to load back into my stock rom, and i carelessly did not make a backup. I was thinking maybe a factory wipe on the stock would help.

When you try other rom you must download the cdma if u are in USA...the gsm don't work
for the stock slow rom try greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=it
and clean master https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=it
and when you do a factory reset and set google account uncheck backup or when play store start download,go in my app and stop the all the download

GAPPS Fail on Nandroid Recovery

I have been running various flavors of AOKP ROM's on SG3's for several years now. I recently obtained a refurb S3 and set it up to do the usual.
It came with stock TW 4.4.
Using ROM Manager I installed CWM and made an image of the stock phone. I then installed my AOKP variant and loaded my apps, blah blah. All is good.
I've since decided I want to revert back to TW for awhile. I restored my nandroid and I get the interminable GAPPS failure messages. I have on occasion been able to get it to calm down and have a working phone, usually be uninstalling play app and clearing framework services cache. This is extraordinarily painful and doesn't always work. I've done all the usual, reinstall GAPPS, etc., and basically it is a MAJOR headache just trying to get the image to function.
But....When it does work the phone does not see my SIM card, IMEI, nothing.. I have no mobile connectivity. Restoring the AOKP nandroid brings me back to a fully functioning phone.
So my questions are:
Can anyone explain to me why the TW nandroid is giving all these GAPPS issues and how to circumvent/fix it?
Why is the system seeming to lose my IMEI/SIM info? Is there a way to fix that? Should I have done something different in my setup/nandroid creation?
Lastly - I don't quite understand how CWM works. There is a recovery image. When I do factory reset, is it resetting to this recovery image as opposed to the factory TW? I seem to think so, when I do a reset I see the android version is not what my factory one is.
Thanks all.

Data Encryption Unsuccessful (On Both Rooted & Stock Non-Rooted) ROM

I'm so lost and confused over this since yesterday...
so 2 days ago my phone started lagging and hanging and freezing until i realized i have got this issue with data encryption
i have a rooted sony z2 with TWRP Custom recovery
first i didn't know it was with data encryption failure so i literally factory reset and installed all my apps and data again and again!!!
On both rooted and non rooted rom ....
after every time my phone started to lag !!
after one whole day of trying everything i finally realized its actually with the data encryption and i should change my ex4 to something else... so here again i wiped the phone and changed to ex3 and installed and all my data and apps all over again
but after a couple hours...same problem again.....
im literally so tired of not knowing what to do ! my head hurts so much due this ugh....
Please help me get rid of this issue thanks ...!
Hey, i would flash the full stock rom without root and twrp and look. I think it is a problem with the twrp recovery.
On my V30 with Oreo we should flash a zip that disable data encryption after some modification in Recovery.
Just try for a week the full stock rom.

Well i have already tried using the stock ROM without any root or recovery !!
and its still the same
however im not sure whats the zip file u r talking about and where i can get it for my Sony z2 D6502...
By the way i just thought it might be another reason that my device is lagging so much after installing like 30/40 apps.
i have overclocked my CPU with root and even after flashing the stock rom i feel like CPU settings hasn't been reset? is it possible?
its always on end MAX and less Min value on both stock/pre root rom my CPU gets very hot on TWRP specially, its more than 70Celcious so i thought maybe its a hardware issue and my CPU is overheating bcuz its old or something... and i should prolly change my CPU ?
i really don't understand whats wrong with my phone and im so confused about what to do
I had here a Z1 and Z2 both was my previous phones.
I didnt experienced such problems except i backup or restore anything in TWRP.
My questions for you are:
On which Version are you now?
What do you done exactly before the problem starts?
Get a Monitor App from Playstore and look what cause this high load. Or you take a look in the Developers Option for this.
We got here a not tasty problem, maybe you backup your whole data and reset all to stock and don't install any apps, after a while installing step by step your apps.

I dont think if its even about TWRP because i even installed the stock rom with Flashtool and started installing my apps one by one and after a couple hrs device started lagging and freezing and odd how Wifi gets soooo slow ! (like everything gets slow in it) and also when i reboot the phone it oddly takes long time on boot menu to load .
im not sure if i did anything to cause it tbh...
it just happened on a normal day...
it gets soooo slow and leaves no other way for me but factory reset option...
i have the latest rom 23.5.A.1.291
the only time i can get it temporary fixed is when i backup the rom on TWRP and factory reset the Rom and Restore it back!
and everything is working fast and fine again only for like 6 or less hours...
and while data is restoring TWRP shows the CPU Temp on +80C !! Is this normal?
Btw i have a unlocked bootloader.
do u have any idea what i should do?
Yes i do! You need a structure by fixing a problem, my plan is:
You must explorer the problem why your phone get so laggy.
Perform a factory reset and use your phone for 1 Day with this stock setup. (Dont restore your old apps or data)
Look often into the Task Manager to show what cause the cpu load.
