Hi!
I am trying to move from JPC to JM8. Have made a "backup all settings plus system data" with titanium backup. All apps install with no issues. The problem is with system data, particularly with contacts. When i try to restore contacts an then reboot, i get forced closes stoping ".acore" and ".media".
Can anybody help me with this? What can and cannot do to try to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone? Please?

Hi friends,
I got a problem with restoring SPB MobileShell3.
When backing-up it seems no problem at all, everything running smooth.
But when I need this backup, I get an annoying message that says like 'Can't restore settings'
Does anybody know a solution?

Seems work only if you restore from the same build of MobileShell3...
If i backup and restore with same build (RC1) it works, but when i would restore from previous build i have got the error message...
Earlier today I flashed Fresh 1.1 onto my phone.. I was having some issues with the Calendar syncing up so I unchecked the sync under Settings-Data Sync-Google and backed out of it. (this is where the problems began) I also went to Applications-Manage applications and cleared the cache/data out of the calendar, gmail and google apps. I have removed all of the sprint apps except nfl network (some before, some after Flashing 1.1)
Whenever I go back to Settings-Data Sync-Google or try to open up the market, gmail, calendar or any of the google services, it askes me to "set up my google account".. I click next and it goes to "setting up your Hero200" so I click sign in and type in my login info and I get the message: Can't establish a reliable data connection to the
server.This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card
may not be provisioned for data services. If continues,
call Customer Care. I do have a data connection because I browse on Dolphin, everything else works fin
I've rebooted, but not restored an earlier backup.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...
are you on 3G or wifi?
WiFi, but I've tried it on 3g and it doesn't seem to make difference...
I read somewhere that someone manually set the APN for Sprint, does that make any sense to anyone?
I found this on another forum, can anyone confirm that this might help, or at least won't screw my phone up seriously if I try it:
"Is simple, but you need to be root and know how to play with the device: just delete the folder
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings and restart (before and after) and you can
use the wizard again."

i'm not sure, but go to settings>about phone>system updates and try updating the Profile and the PRL. since you're rooted don't mess with the firmware or anything though.
Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup yet?
I updated the Profile and PRL and still no change. I haven't restored my backup, yet...
I'm seriously thinking about following the advise in the link above and deleting: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings and see if that helps.. If I do this and it still doesn't work, I can do my restore and try that and if all else fails, start all over.. Right?
Before I delete this file, I want to back it up on my SD Card, I just push it to the SD card, correct? The problem is, that I have no idea what's in that file, that's why I'm hesitant to do this.. If it does screw something up, a backup should restore this, correct?
Thanks!
Been there, done that, couldn't fix it. I'm convinced that doing the "clear data" for those apps is not a good idea.
I ended up restoring the Nandroid I took right before I cleared that info, then instead went online and changed my Gmail password. That forced me to run through the Google Account Setup wizard again, which actually worked fine.
Yeah, when I cleared that data it wiped all my contacts and everything... I changed my google password and I'm going to restore a backup and see what happens.... At least I should have my contacts back....
Ok, that worked (for now anyways!!) Thanks johnnythan!! I restored a Nandroid and it prompted me for my google password right away...
I'm still getting the calendar force close whenever it tries to sync (problem I was originally trying to fix) but I'll live with that for now... It seems to sync, but takes a couple tries after force closing...
Thanks, much better than starting over from a full reboot!!
have you tried flashing the unofficial modaco rom version 1.3a? If you flash it, and follow the instructions to clear the dalvik and boot cache it may take care of your problems.
I think I tried that in the Fresh1.1 PreKitchen and I don't believe it helped.. I'll defiantly keep that in mind if I have this issue again.. Thanks!
I'm running the 2.3.15 deodexed leak with root. Whenever there is a notification for either exchange, facebook, or pop3/imap email, the status bar/drop down is missing its icon. There is just a while space where the icon should be. Also, when I go into the messaging application, everything except the global inbox and sms have a standard closed-envelope icon, instead of the default icons.
I was running the 2.3.9 leak for a day or two, but don't remember if the icons were present or not. I noticed it after loading 2.3.15, though.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
Bump...anyone know where I can look for these files to make sure they're still there?
Updated to the 2.2 OTA with the SBF, but did not wipe data and the icons are still missing. Does anyone know if it's possible to reinstall the messaging application?
I'd just make a backup of your information to your SD card and wipe cache/date... Simplest fix.

Do you mean the entire phone, or just the messaging app...I tried doing just the app. I'm a little uneasy about wiping the whole phone. I use Titanium backup, but I don't know what actually gets restored after a full wipe.
It looks like your best bet at this point. You did a full SBF and it didn't solve your problem. That only leaves the cache or data as your problem, right? Clear the cache first. It won't affect any of your information and might have the error in there somewhere. If it doesn't solve the problem make sure you have the Google backup enabled in your privacy settings. Once your sync icon disappears wipe data and cache. When you reactivate your phone it will restore your stuff.
So before I went to 2.2.2 I backed my data, now I have some annoying crashes. I first noticed my music app crashing, I deleted it and made a fresh install to fix that, then going over the rest of my apps I actually noticed quite a few that were crashing because of the restoring. My main issue is alarm clock. I restored my settings of stock clock app and now it crashes and I can't set the alarm anymore... I tried deleting stored data, but that didn't fix it for any of the apps that crash. Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
i use to use t backup but it never proberly worked for me for some reason so i did a bit of searching and i use mybackup its availble on the market hope that helps
I get this with many apps (not all) when I restore them using Titanium Backup. What I've found is if I just restore the app w/o data, they all seem to work fine. If I restore App+Data, that's when it crashes. Hope this helps you.
Titanium backup
I quit using app backups long ago... I prefer to download the apk to my computer and keep them on file.
If I have to do a flash or restore then I install manually and since then I have never had to worry about force closes.
The advantage to this is that I find myself much more familiar with my phone and what it does. Instead of having a bunch of programs that do the same thing, I have cut down on my app installs by half and now my phone is quicker and more intuitive
Yeah, I guess I need to switch back up app. Thanks for the tip about restoring just the app without data, that did in fact fix the problem.
Is there any way to fix my clock stock app? Titanium restores only data, so when I try to access the alarm, it crashes. Any way to reinstall it without factory reset?
cdzo72, Well, backup is more convenient, because it restores your settings as well.
agree sometimes backing up data aswell has strange results in the end
I flash to KitKat factory image from CM10.2 (wiped everything including my internal memory), and then I flash to CM11 nightly and use titanium backup to restore only my app data. and here is where the problem comes in, none of my data is restoring from Titanium, although it says data restore completed in titanium, it actually isn't. Every apps force close when I open it after restoring. After that if I restart my phone, those app that i restored will be disappeared from my app drawer, it didn't appear in settings -> app either, if i try to install again it won't install, only way is to manually search for the apk file through file manager and delete it. I cant restore anything from titanium backup! FYI, I only backup the data of the app, not including the apk, but after restoring the app force close and restarting my phone the whole app gone missing from my app drawer. I can't lose all my data. what can I do? please help :crying::crying:
Another question, every time after u guys flash a new rom do u restore the old android ID or use new one in titanium backup?
Latest update of TB has caused some issues for many people. For me, on some roms, it fc's when I click an app to restore. Try googling for an apk of a previous version, and see if the problem persists. Regarding the id, you can keep the new one. Some functions might not work properly though, like location update. You can go into your settings for your Google account on a computer and withdraw access rights for apps and devices, then everything is fine. Hope this helps. Good luck!
