Hi!
I recent rooted my Galaxy s2 skyrocket i727 using Odin and i flashed it with TWR
I backup my stock rom with TWR and i decided to wipe the data to install CM10.1
So after about a day i decided the stock rom (android 4.1) was better
So i decided to wipe the data and recover my stock rom using TWR
The recovery was successful, but when i turn on the phohne.
It is stuck on ANDROID IS UPGRADING: STARTING APPLICATIONS
The only thing i care about is my Contacts and any other thing doesnt matter
if there is anyway to fix the error or get my contacts back please help....
Help appreciated thank you!!!
Usually a complete wipe is necessary when restoring a backup, hopefully your contacts etc are synced or backed up elsewhere, but being it was only for a day I cant imagine you will loose much going to a day old backup

Hello, do you remember when you saved your contacts, did it prompt you to save it to one of your emails? Because Android phones will most of the time backup your contacts and save it to your email. If you want to check if you it did do a backup, try to reach another working android cellular device, then login using your email account and sync the contacts. If your contacts appear in that phone, it means that there is a backup in your email. And you can now peacefully install the stock rom manually and not by restoring. CLICK HERE to get download the link for the stock rom, you can just install it like any other rom. And if this happens again in the future, make sure you use the PC/MAC software called "Samsung Kies" to backup almost everything important from your phone.
Thank you for consulting the forums, please click the "Thanks" button below this reply if I helped. Have a nice day.\
Sincerely, ATkeneiville

Hey guys,
My Galaxy SII has just randomly cracked it. I was using it and it rebooted and when it did I could use it for the first 2 secconds then it went black and said "TWLauncher stopped working"... I knew it was bad but I thought that it was just the launcher playing up. Turns out it was the whole phone. every app I open instantly force quits... I cannot reflash because I cannot lose what is on there (Plus I cant get whats on there off because I cannot connect usb). I need a fix pleeease XDA, I love you guys and I know you can do it
Model: SGS2 I9100T Unlocked
ROM: Untouched, non rooted and yeah. It is running on ICS (Samsungs one)
thanks a bunch in advanced, let me know if you need more info
Same thing happens with me just some hours ago.... What I did to make it working...
Factory reset
After that it is working fine also you try flashing a rom via odin none wipe...

Hey,
Thanks for the sugestion but I cannot lose ANYTHING on the phone Is there any way to do it without losing data?
...
I can't
And I cant factory reset because I cant get into settings
First of all don't call the phone bricked. Because it is nowhere near bricked. If every app force closes on you then the only option would be start again..Your choice of course.
With regards,
Beston94
Will it void warranty?
Lol, Sorry for the bad choice of wording. I am in need of getting this fixed and just threw words at the page. I know what bricked is, (That's how I lost some of my past phones)... I despratly need this phone for tomorrow that is why I am in a rush
If you havent messed with your phone, then your could send it to warranty repair. Of course there is always chance you might lose your data so this could be considered only as the last resort...

Just go into recovery and do a factory reset... Or flash a non wipe rom... There are no other option and why you asking for warranty if you wish to visit service centre... They will do the same that we all ready told you... And you will lose all your data...
So now stop questions and just go and do it... There are no other option
Edit:- and next time always take a backup of all your data just in case you need... Like today

Yeah look for Odin one click el36 or the el29 will restore phone to defult. And then can get the over the air update to ICS.

This is good advice if he really does want to brick his phone. You're suggesting he install something for an Epic 4g Touch to an i9100T.
Are you using siyah kernel? I remember that it happened to me once I had to update the kernel + restore data partition from a older nandroid backup...
By the way guys, I have no experience using Odin. I come from a background of Nexus' and other Non-Samsung devices
Maybe this method will work...You won't lose anything. You must be rooted!
Just ask somebody to make you a flashable launcher trough recovery like launcherpro. And maybe it will work
This will void your warranty!
Good luck pro

Factory reset from recovery is the easiest way at this point and will probably work since something in your Android framework has likely just gone awry. What kind of data are you afraid of losing? If it's media (such as you're pictures/videos etc.) then it's safe. Hopefully you're storing your contacts in your Google account or SIM card. If that's the case, you'll really only lose settings, apps (and their corresponding non-backed up data) and text messages. If you haven't rooted your phone or done anything to void your warranty, you could take it to a repair center but there's not much point since it's most likely not a hardware error and they'll just factory reset your phone and you'll lose all your data anyway.
The data is calender info, b'days and such... Oh, and they aren't backed up to Google... The contacts are on the sim

Hi mate,
Sorry to hear about your phone.
I had a soft bricked S2 yesterday (bootloops) and I also didnt want to lose any data so I just flashed my stock ROM using Odin without wiping anything and it worked fine NOTHING was lost!
Just google or search on here for your stock official firmware and flash through Odin.
It really is very very simple, even for someone who's never done it before. Just follow instructions EXACTLY and you'll be fine.
There's lots of info on here about using Odin to flash firmware.
A few handy tips for you......
*Make sure latest drivers are installed (download latest Kies and update all drivers) then reboot computer so Kies isn't running in the background as it can mess up the flashing process
*Make sure you are using a good trusted USB port and cable (you don't want to lose connection half way through flashing) If you do it is normally a simple case of flashing again
*Make sure battery is above 80%
*Double check the firmware is right for your phone.
I'm happy to help you out if you get stuck just PM me
Good luck
this is he second tmie this thing is happening to me the only way to fix it is to factory reset it through CWM this issue is really making me angry because i just bought the phone2 days ago this issue is cause by an app freezing like i was on auto rap and it froze then when i reboot it works fine after 5 seconds of booting it freezes and reboots ...

Go back to stock, see if it still happens while you are there. If so, return it and ask for a new one. If it doesn't, flash CM again and read the CM thread; you just might find a fix for that issue.

What ROM do you use?
Settings->about phone->build number should give you the ROM name and the firmware it's based on.

[Q] Downgraded 4.0.4 -> 4.0.3 to beat brick bug, now getting 'App stopped' messages
Argghhh.
I've managed to use Odin to get from 4.0.4 to 4.0.3, but when the phone starts it stops responding to input as it's putting up a chain of error messages. It started with 'acore' has stopped. I googled and went and cleared the App Data for Contacts and Contact Storage. (Clear Cache wasn't enabled for either). I'm now getting other app stopped messages... LogsProvider, Maps, Voice Search etc etc.
Should I reflash? Or do a factory reset? Or do a Clear Cache and Clear Dalvik (Don't know how to do those, so brief tips welcomed!)
My next steps were going to be to install the Chainfire root + CWM rom (instructions from http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-i9100-xxlpq-root-cwm-clockworkmod-recovery-65393/). Should I go straight into that instead?
Help would be appreciated. I'm normally quite geeky tech guy, but given the brick bug situation I'm erring on the cautious side with this
That. (As long as you're 100% sure you're not running a 4.0.4 kernel; if in doubt, flash a custom kernel first).

just flash a custom kernel like Siyah v 4.1.5 (tar file for ODIN) from pc odin to get a custom recovery and then do a Wipe data/factory reset to bring about stability.
ps- do backup all ur user apps using TB so that after wipe data u can restore all those apps back on ur phone.Also make a backup of ur contacts (if not synched to google) and text messages (SMS) using third party apps from stores.
I've backed everything up via Kies and My Backup, and after logging out of the Samsung account I got a bunch more 'stopped app' messages... it's resetting now.
<fingers crossed>
If that's ok it's on to the Chainfire update I mentioned before...
edit:
Yay, starts fine, no errors, thanks
edit2:
chainfire's kernel installed ok too. So I think I'll try MIUI until the official UK release of JellyBean.
Glad it's working for you now. You're welcome
Re: [Q] Downgraded 4.0.4 -> 4.0.3 to beat brick bug, now getting 'App stopped' messag
Hello guys. I am currently using Slimbean RC1 and I made a backup of my rooted stock 4.0.4 with Siyah kernel so that when I restore my backup anytime in future then will not have any super brick risks. But I have a confusion. Do I need to do a full wipe in CWM before restoring backup? Or it will wipe automatically?

Wipe & restore.
this question was originally posted as my phone stuck in bootloop by itself
I've been using Slim Bean very neatly for the past 3 months until today
I charged my phone and I saw only battery icon (you know like when you charge it from no battery)
I unplugged and there is a red ! on top left corner in the GT-i9300t boot screen.
I was able to get to TWRP recovery, fortunately.
ok now I get it to boot what I did I restored to my NEATROM that I have backed up long time ago and before that I failed to restore to Slim Bean also.
I was happy it worked but
I'm now so confused as my newly RESTORED Neat rom looks like a new flash, with Samsung welcome screen and gmail login and all.
I have been restoring ROMS for some time now I know this ain't right, it should look like the state when I BACKED IT UP.
Is something wrong with my phone????
You must have backed up and restored a stock type rom .
Phone cannot change to stock by itself .
jje
I'm pretty sure it's not stock because I have been restoring it before and all the apps are there
now there's nothing

your 'start from scratch' solution work thanks a lot! although different method
first I tried internal wipe, nothing changes
then here comes FORMAT DATA bam that fixed it :good:
unfortunately I didn't fulfill my curiosity as to what just happened
and I thought NANDROID back up is the best way to prevent any disaster ROM wise
it may not be made to withstand partition problem which is what I think happened.
The problem, to my recent realization actually happened after I recorded a very long video (20mins)...
Backup could have corrupt if in internal sd.

but it's in my external card. Copied over from my computer even.
Moving / copying files can also be a catalyst for corruption.
I've had the same issue with a backup from computer before.
My reference to internal sd was if your partitions are messed up, its likely your backup was corrupt.
It could even be the backup just didn't take properly. If you have md5 checking turned on then that is more likely.
Anyway, it can happen from time to time

Anyways, don't restore data when restoring a stock ROM. Use helium for apps, and nandroid for system.
