Just upgraded to 2.1 Nordic (X10a), and everything works fine, excepts Wi-Fi doesn't work.
It worked when I first started the phone, then I think I did a restore with Titanium backup, then it stopped working. I did a master reset, Wi-Fi worked, then I restored everything one more time, and it stopped working.
Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it?
3G and all other apps work fine BTW.

I'm getting the same thing with WiFi saying "Unable to start". I had installed Titanium, but hadn't restored anything relating to WiFi (have been restoring apps individually).
I can't use static IP,the WLAN settings just display "Unsuccessful" with 2.1.
If you're using WEP, try punching in the WEP in Hex instead of ASCII. Before this, I had problems obtaining an IP address from my router's dhcp server for unknown reasons.
Hope this helps. =)

It doesn't work, like even trying to enable Wi-Fi fails...
Just did a reset, I'll avoid restoring with Titanium, let's see if that works.
Maybe an 'adb logcat' might shed some light on the root of the problem when trying to enable your wifi.

yea i did the same thing and it still kept happening.
I haven't tried reset, but yeah it happens as soon as you turn WiFi on.
I had this issue earlier, it was fixed with a reflash for me. You can try it as a last resort (or sooner, before you add too much stuff to the phone)
same problem here!, any body have the solution??

is it works??
I had the same issue (wifi failed to start) I thought it was due to the rooting process as I could get it to start with a clean flash of 2.1
I had to reflash 2.1, then root.
I presume the issue is due to restoring some 1.6 settings, as I used Titanium again and it did exactly the same.
So, reflash again, wifi works... root, wifi works... titanium to restore apps only, wifi works.
I just changed the setting manually. A little bit of a pain, but now I get Wifi OK.
Wish I knew an easier way, but thats how I got around it
I just re-flashed then re-rooted. Tested WiFi after the flash, and then after the root, and finally after installing Titanium and restoring my apps (only the apps... no system settings). In all three cases when I initially turned WiFi on after a reboot, I would get the "Unable to scan" error, but now WiFi remains on instead of shutting itself back off.
I don't have any WiFi networks available here at work to test, but I'll see if things are working when I get home.

you dont have to re flash the phone. you could have gone into settings > privacy > factory reset. that way you keep root and it wipes everything on the phone.
i did notice that after using titanium i also had a problem with my market. whenever i downloaded an app it would just say that the download is about to start but would never download. so i did a factory reset and and used the stock restore that came on the phone to get my settings and messages and stuff back.
still havent used titanium to restore anything.
last time i used titanium i did restore apps with data and it messed up my phone so this time i will restore MISSING apps with data without the system data and see what happens.
report back soon
Mine works fine now...but that stupid popup everytime you plug it into your computer is really annoying, and if you close it, it's too hard to find after.
Anyone know if that can be disabled/changed?

is it means that using Titanium BackUp isn't permited??,
any other solution to restore our backup (apps with system data)??,
Just wanted to post confirmation that I tried my WiFi once I got home, and everything is working as expected. So the re-flash seems to have fixed things.
Same thing happened to me, I batch restored with titanium..wifi stopped working. I reflashed the FW and the problem went away..I have restored some apps individually (not batch)..and it's still working fine.

You can use titanium to restore. You just have to be careful what batch to use I used restore all apps with data and it messed everything up and had to do a hard reset.
I tried to using restore missing apps with data and was able to get my old apps and keep all settings and info for the apps. And everything works fine. Market and wifi
Like it restored my game saves and notes that I had in color notes
The only thing is I had to manually adjust phone settings

thanks for your advice bro!, IT'S WORKS!!!,
market and wifi works fine!, everything is fine!,
I had the same problems with my WLAN and titanium backup. After some search I found the solution. You need to be root, that it work.
only go to data/misc/wifi and delete wpa_supplicant.conf
and now your WLAN works without problems
For the bug with the market I'm searching a solution too..
I have read that when going to a different rom to do a full wipe.
So clearly if you want to keep your apps you back them up and recover them with titanium backup, but why is it advised to not restore the Data of the apps?
How else would I keep game scores and settings and such?
Thanks
restoring the data for the user apps is fine, don't restore the system data...

that would be a bit of misinformation that gets spread around.....
its fine to restore user apps+data. i have been doing it for a long time with every device i have. swapping between devices and all.
do a batch restore MISSING apps+data
unselect anything that might be blur/sense/touchwiz specific (based on the phone you are using)
run the batch and reboot
verify you are not having any FCs on your apps
if you do a batch restore of just user apps+data (and not the MISSING option) you will get tons of issues.
it is not advised to use Titanium Backup for things like text messages, contacts, phone logs, etc. (while possible it will work just fine, i have seen lots more issues trying to restore those from rom to rom rather than just user apps.)
again. use the MISSING APPS option in the batch restore of Titanium Backup
i have been doing it for over a year on many different devices and i even share my titanium backup folder between different phones, with NO issues at all. and i typically flash several times a week on several different devices.

It is advised to do full wipe, if you install a rom.
And if you want to keep your settings, games scores etc, you use Titanium Backup.
Titanium Backup is your friend in those cases..
What is not adviced, is installing a Rom, without wiping your data.. In that way, you keep for example data of apps and games, of a froyo rom, to a gingerbread rom..
Rom to Rom differs(even in same android version), thats why you full wipe, and then TiBu saves you by restoring them, to the new rom's enviroment..
Edit: Agree with others.. I was typing on atrix, and since i wrote this, they already answered!
Also in atrix, NEVER restore FINGERPRINTS backup..

That explains it. Ive seen MANY posts where users tell other users to restore apps but not restore data but dont specify they mean system data and not app data!
Also, when people talk of a full wipe, do they mean even deleting the contents of the internal storage (like photos and such?)
This would be for going from one ROM to another ROM, both GB
No they are talking about doing a "wipe data/factory reset" in CMW and not physically deleting your internal sdcard. if you delete your sdcard then you will wipe out data that you need including your titanium backups

Thanks ! I always feared that the wipe data/factory reset pretty much deletes all the files on your device like photos and music
The short answer is force closes. Which also can happen from restoring app data, altho it is less likely to happen, it can and it will. But yea def dont restore system data.
Is there any other way of saving game saves?

You can use SyncIt or GameOn, you can even back it up manualy with Root Explorer. You should be fine with TiBU, just if you do get a force close you will know why and what to do (delete data and/or uninstall/reinstall).
I am having an issue restoring my app data from titanium backup. The issue first occurred when i switched from a stock ROM to CM7 ICS ROM. When i restored my missing apps+data all of my app data had disappeared. I just started over and didn't worry about it. Then when i switched from CM7 back to a stock rom I received my old apps+data from before i switched to CM7. I read around on the forums that this might be a compatibility issue. So i started to use the setting in the batch menu "Manipulate data and converted my backups to roll back journal mode which says this works with all roms, and started uploading to Dropbox. I recently just switched my Rom from a stock ROM to CM9 ICS. I lost all of my apps again!! and got back all of the app data from when i was using CM7. Could someone please shed some light on what is going on here cause i have no idea. Please let me know if there is anything i can do to get my app data into CM9 from my last stock rom. The stock rom i was using was an old ROM called wet dream.

The stock rom uses a different back up location than cm roms. You will have to manually go find the data backups in tibu. Don't bother having it auto detect, wont work. For example, all my backups were at mnt/emmc/titaniumbackup instead of the stock roms location of mnt/sdcard/titaniumbackup

Looks like that was the the problem. I saved my backup on drop box so i just dropped what was on dropbox in my titanium folder and restored it. I now have all of my app data back.
The ROM that I use on my phone pretty much discourages dirty flashing updates [CM10.1 based]. So for the last 10 or so updates, I have clean wiped my HTC Rezound, then restored from a TitaniumBackup.
Except I do it a little different than most people, I think.
First I disabled compression of backups.
Then to restore I go to /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/
and run a bash command:
# for i in *.apk; do pm install "$i"; done
Then I go to TitaniumBackup, and every app is installed but doesn't have my data. So then I batch restore my data for my apps [Pretty much only user apps, except a few system things like SMS, WiFi networks]. But the problem is, recently, TitaniumBackup will quit halfway through a batch restore of "Data only." So I've been manually restoring data 1 by 1 for the apps that I need data to be saved across rom updates.
But then I thought, "Hey, why can't I just backup my /data/data/ folder?" but then I also thought that would probably be like a dirty flash, and I am just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this subject.
Thanks.

VERY EAGER to learn this as a flash-a-holic.
sigh well I tried restoring the /data/data/ folder from a tar backup, and the apps didn't have my data. [Both my launcher and 1 random game did not have my data, even after rebooting.]
Then I went to install TitaniumBackup from Play to restore my apps the way I do it usually, and then it had an error. It wouldn't install. So I tried wiping data in recovery, and then the setup wizard kept crashing after I completed it. It wouldn't let me launch anything, even Settings would crash.
So now I'm starting all over again. Currently doing a clean flash in recovery. Ugh.
I think the problem might be file permissions.

Restoring those setting from system apps will lead to issues. This is due to the way those settings are restored when changes are made to the programs for those settings.
Restoring with titianium backup is only advised for user apps and data

Hey guys,
I'm having issues with messaging apps on my virgin mobile S2. The issue came about the other day with the stock messaging app, where I would open any conversation, and when I go to close out of it, the app freezes and then gives the "unfortunately messaging has stopped". I tried clearing the cache in recovery mode and that has not helped. I have also tried downloading 2 new messaging apps and they are both having the same issue; freezing when I close out a sms conversation. Not really sure where to go from here. Do you think a factory reset would help? Also, is there any way to re-install the stock messaging app? I definitely did a system backup with Titanium Backup a while back, but the app is showing nothing as being backed up...and I foolishly deleted my messaging app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
-Mike
As a general response to asking "Will a factory reset help?", it's best to make a complete nandroid backup, do the reset and see if that fixes the problem. If it doesn't, you can always restore the back up.
Doing a reset will recover the default messaging app, so I'd recommend it in this case. Titanium backup should recover all your data, but be careful when recovering sms data, as there may be some corrupted messages which cause crashes.

Do I need to unroot before I do the factory reset?
Root will disappear automatically!
If you're using a custom recovery, it may not remove root, however.
I just did a factory reset. It did not seem to recover the default messaging app; seems it is lost and gone forever. I can't seem to find the apk anywhere online either.
Installing stock rom via odin will restore all system apps, in this case messaging too, so find your stock rom and flash via odin.
Install a New ROM via Odin.Before this,It is better to do MegaWipes.

Hello all,
I just wiped and installed 4.13.651.4 rooted stock odex upgrade from captain throwback's release. Previously coming from 4.13.651.1. I used titanium backup to backup everything from previous installation, then restored everything from that release once upgraded. That screwed a bunch of stuff up because I restored all system and data as well as user apps and data. Wiped that out and reinstalled fresh, this time restoring all user apps and data, and only system data. For whatever reason, bluetooth will not operate. Everything else is fine. I cannot figure out how to reinstall only bluetooth files so that it works properly. So far the steps I've taken were to snag the following files from the 4.13.651.4 installation zip from the system/app folder in the zip:
Bluetooth.apk
Bluetooth.odex
HtcBluetoothLeProfiles.apk
HtcBluetoothLeProfiles.odex
HtcBtWidget.apk
HtcBtWidget.odex
Nfc.apk
Nfc.odex
I unzipped these with root explorer, then copied and pasted them into the ROOT/system/app folder after switching to "Mount R/W" in the system/app folder. Once the new files were in place, I changed permissions on all 6 files to be rw-r--r-- just like all the rest of the files. Rebooted phone, bluetooth still doesn't work. Are there any other files that I would've inadvertently have replaced or modified from the previous 4.13.651.1 files that controls bluetooth operation? I REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to have to wipe and do over AGAIN!!!
Please help!!
Why are you replacing BT system files? Those aren't part of the TB backup, are they? Did BT work before you started restoring things from your previous install? I would suggest only restoring user apps and within that only the user data you really need to keep. Restore data for apps one-by-one, not all at once. Don't restore system data unless you know it's not going to interfere with what is already there. TB is almost too powerful for its own good when it comes to batch backup and restore. You gotta learn what to exclude and what you really want to migrate to a new install.
But mostly start fresh and make sure BT works before you start restoring anything.

It did work before I started messing with stuff. I'm restoring BT system files hoping it would work again. I don't really know what TB backs up when its set up backup everything. After first time I did restore items one by one and that's what screwed up BT in the first place. I figured putting original files back in system folder would fix it, but it didn't. I only restored system data one by one to try not to have to set up my phones settings again including BT pairings. Guess I've got egg on my face now. Any ideas?

If it was me, I'd do a factory reset or just reinstall the ROM (try dirty flash, if that doesn't work then wipe and start clean), then restore only user apps. In TB you can do a batch restore, but then uncheck apps you don't want to restore. I wouldn't reinstall any data from anything. If you open a user app and it turns out you don't have the data you want, then go in and restore data for just that app.
Restoring system apps and data is asking for trouble, IMHO.

Sure, replace the files you restored or copied over with the originals. My assumption is that the files that are "broken" are the ones that got overwritten when you restored and/or copied into /system from the previous install. They have to be replaced with the original files and data. That would involve extracting them from the original ROM and copying them back into place. I don't know how to go about that. I'd cut my losses and reinstall. If you have a TB backup already, you'll only be out the half-hour it takes to re-flash and restore things. Like I said, you can try a dirty flash, wipe caches only, try a factory reset, etc. I personally would wipe and re-flash clean, because I hate wondering if there are still any ghosts in the machine when I encounter problems like this.
