[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace in bootloop : soft brick. Any advice ? - Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone !​
My phone is blocked in a bootloop. Maybe, because of an app that I did install to backup my sms : SMSBackupRestore (?).
I don't want to lose the data of my sms and mms nor to lose the data of my memos : this are really verry precious things to me because there is contained my evolution and the one of my friendship and love.
So, I search to repair it without deleting them.
Maybe by flashing the rom stock without any wipe ?
I am a real newbie. So, an entire week-end I tried to find a way to fix my phone without success, but didn't find any explanation enough clear or certain so that I could follow it without any fear nor doubt.
Any advice mate ?
(I am french; so I hope you understand me after all.)
I thank you.

U cant restore u r device without wipe ..if u r data are in sd card then u r safe..becouse when u r flashing stock rom then u r data automatically wipes..

too bad its just luck i have tried the oc kernel and have also had freezes and reboots but never encountered this issue make sure u create a back in titanium backup before the format probably that will make the process shorter
Edit : you can wipe your dalvik cache even now it would just take a little longer to boot for the first time after the dalvik wipe but its harmless as far as i know but take precautions do a backup before trying anything. What it does , well am not a dev maybe an expert can answer this.

well all i would say is have a fresh clean install of CM7 and then when you restore your apps using titanium backup select app only would recommend not restoring the data as that most of the times gets the problems which were there when you did a backup. WSo in other words if u do a fresh install and then restore the data of all the apps its as good as it was earlier with the problems. However you can keep a track of apps like fb twitter whats app browser etc if some of these apps were working fine when you created a backup you can restore their data 1 by 1. Cheers tc

Multiboot

Hi
I am usually using MiniCM2.1.6 and I am fully satisfied, but I would like to give a chance of the promising ICS new developments on my X10 mini, without removing my current installation.
Could you explain any way to enable multiboot on our device, as NaA explained in the post [Multiboot] [Update 14/6/11] Create, manage and boot your ROM options via CWM!.
Is that CWM version recommendable although it seems old? Is there any other option?
Thanks in advance, and regards.
i didnt get u correctly but i understooooood that u ant sm information about multy booting
and u can that with backup system this is a very simple process in which u can backup your present rom in a folder which is shown in booting menu
and after that u can instal the other rom which ever u like
and after that u can get back of the old rom in that fold and you can restore bak ur old rom by the back up which is found in ur folder

Thank you for your help.
Talking as multiboot, I was understanding the option to boot one system or other, after being asked when switching on the device, without having to make and restore backs up. Like working with virtual machines.

I don't think you can really do anything...if you have backed up all of them with titanium backup you can just restore. But otherwise I guess you'll just have to install all of them again

Press thanks button if I helped you in any way
Sorry for you u nothing can be done , but in case u have nandroid backup u can restore it ,
This has happened with me too and have loosed all my apps :'( , had to start all over after formatting my phone
But if u r flashoholic like me u wont be much sad ( like i was not becoz i hv 2 phones one is stable unrooted htc explorer )
Deleted files cant be restored on android unlike pc ( where it can be restored by by undeleting softwarez) as it is just deleted from index only.
Press thanks if iv helped

i didnt fully understand your comment..what can i do again? i didnt backed up not with titanum and not with nandroid.. theres any thing i can do?
sorry theres nothing you can do. you should always create a backup once you are up and running stable otherwise, well, this type of thing might happen. you should try using CWM or another backup/recovery tool.

Error in Galaxy Note - TW Launcher Error

Hi All,
Actually I am in deep trouble because of my Galaxy Note now days. It is having TW Launcher error. I am totally unable to use my phone. It keeps restarting itself after every 10 sec. Everybody is giving me advice to Hard Reset / Factory Reset to my device. But my Major problem is that I have some very very important (almost 900 pics) saved in its internal memory. These pics are very very important for me and I do not want to loose these pics at all.
I am unable to take backup because its does not recognised by my or any other Laptop due to it restarting issue. This is the reason why I am not giving my mobile to any technician because no one is giving me any guarantee about my data. It is more than two weeks now, but I am still hoping that someone can solve this problem for me. In this forum I found some knowledgeable people so I get some light that someone from this forum can help me to resolve this issue. So please help me in this substance.
Thanks!!
formatting a phone does not erase you internal memory. you will just lose all your applications if it is installed in phone, contacts ( suppose its backed up in google so you can restore it later ) , and messages ( can backup easily try searching in market for applications which can backup messages ) .. whats your status? Are you rooted? if yes then go to recovery and try fixing permissions from there it should be in Advenced tab in recovery. GOOD LUCK!
yap internal sd storage has to be ersaed seperatly
so just reflash the rom via recovery
if u are rooted u may try to exchange your tw launcher with another version via adb or something

What exactly does backup do.

A few days ago i put on Siyah neweset 5.0.1 kernel on my S2 and overclocked but my performance hasn't increased much so i'm gonna put Ressurection Remix ROM now but the first step on the guide says to format my phone and i hate loseing my things, is there anyway to keep my stuff on the new ROM D: ? I'm not sure what to do QQ i don't wanna screw this up, also i'm gonna make a few backups, cuz 1 isn't enough.
Over clocking doesn't increase performance per se.
You can use titanium backup to backup and restore your current apps. Use SMS backup+ for your texts and call lists.
Images, vids, music etc are unaffected by formatting via CWM.

If you want to switch to another ROM, I guess it's best to backup all your apps via Titanium Backup. As far as I remember, the list displays white apps, red ones and green ones. The red ones are system apps and you should backup them since they differ from ROM to ROM. The white ones are apps which you have installed on your phone (via Google Play...). The green entries are things like "Messages" "Phone call history" and stuff like that.. I guess you can backup them too.
You won't loose your contacts as long as they are stored on your googlemail-account. So no need to safe them.
Then just backup your current ROM via ClockworkMod (I guess one backup is enough :b - If you want to be 100% sure try to backup and right after it finished try to restore the backup. If it works (in 99,9% of all cases) you can just flash your new ROM - if it didn't work try to backup+restore again. As soon as you've got a working backup (I guess the first backup will be OK), flash the new ROM and restore the needed apps via Titanium Backup again. (Just download Titanium Backup right after flashing RR and you will be able to restore every single app again).
More and more ROM devs advise not to restore apps via Titanium Backup, but it always worked fine for me
Hope I helped you,

You dont need to format everything to install a Custom Rom. Just wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache(under advanced).

Don't be ridiculous.
What about something simple like "How to backup data before installing new rom?"
In any case you should have searched google or XDA first as there is plenty of topics on how to flash roms without losing data or how to backup all your apps/appdata etc.

I can't find the button to change tittle, it must be hidden under 3 layers of bedrock.
Anyway, i've been useing this rom since yesterday, it's awesome .. mostly
Some minor disadvantages, some things like Clock crash, won't update some things but that's normal.
My stock benchmark was 6800, now 6200 D:
Probably becouse the rom uses more RAM than stock.. Overall 8.7/10 <3
I'll keep testin.
EDIT: OH YEA! what were those "modems" it asked me when i was installing it?
