ROM Manager inhibits fresh installs?

[BrandonAsphyxiated]

Does anyone else feel this way? I mean like last night i was using ROM manager just to test out some ROMs (Bugless, Smoked Glass) and such, but when i tried to update.zip back my Ultimate Droid 9.8 i wiped data and cache and installed correctly but its like i still had Smoked Glass, no NexTheme wallpaper, it was pretty much the same as if i hadnt done anything and now im thinking somethings hidden on my SD that could be causing it, so im about to format it through the Droid (after i backup everything i want to keep), i just thought i might as well come on here and tell you guys about it and hear your opinions before i do it and risk F-ing up my ish lol, its not like i NEED to flash, the phone is working perfectly, but i am getting some force closes i hadnt before. All in all its not a problem, but im just the kind of person that gets OCD about my software not being completely clean and efficient you know?

Brandon,

Sending you to the Rescue Squad area, those guys can help you better than the General Discussion area..

Hang on tight...beaming in progress.

Ok, thanks

I've not used ROM manager so my thoughts may be off base. I doubt that something is hidden on your SD card. If you haven't reformated your SD card, I would flash a different rom and see if everything works. If it does then flash another. If you successfully install then the issue is with the UD rom.

This is a case of a ROM breaking root. It happens. I've have older versions of BB and UD break root on me. Flash another ROM try using nandroid method. If not comfortable with that we can walk ya through it.

Are you still having problems, Brandon?

Are you still having problems, Brandon?

Mike

Wow now its not delivering my emails XD
i kinda still am having problems
my battery life is horrendous now as well, and now applications are being run in the background even after i kill them
I need to re-flash this ROM asap
I'm however, no familiar with the nandroid method
I'm only familiar with the wipe/update.zip method

its easy if you use clockwork download the nandroid backup and put it in clockwork>backups folder, then boot into recovery (hold x then power on) wipe date and cache then go to nandroid>advanced nandroid restore>choose the nandroid you just added>perform restore

in sprecovery just make a folder named nandroid on the root of your sdcard and put the nandroid backup in there, boot into recovery, wipe, select backup/restore>advanced nandroid restore>choose backup to restore>select the nandroid you jsut added>perform restore

this is a basic basic guide if you dont get what im saying im sure someone will link to an in depth guide

I would try to throttle back your OC kernel. That may be causing some of your issues.

Ok so i already have nandroid on my phone when i backed up before i rooted for the first time, is there a special nandroid version of the ROM i need to use?

For the battery life, check settings: about phone: system updates. You may be continuosly downloading the OTA update. If it says there is an update you should allow it to install. Your recovery will cause it to fail, but it will stop continually downloading.

Hope you're not saying you have a task killer?? I would dump that. What apps keep running anyways?

 

[mwhartman]

No. I noticed in your signature "ChevyNo1 kernel OC @ 1.25Ghz Running full speed" what I am suggesting is using setCPU and dropping the speed back a little.

Ok you need to be careful here. If you're running clockwork recovery the nandroid folder on the root of your sd isn't going to work, that's for sprecovery. Any ROM you use with clockwork has to be specific to clockwork and will go in the clockworkmod folder. You should have a nandroid folder in there as well.

maybe you need to format system using adb.

@jstafford1 i didn't know it would continuously download, but i checked it and there are no system updates available it says i'm up to date. also whats wrong with a task killer? D: i though that was the main way to save battery life
@mwhartman well i don't have it full out 1.25 all the time i have profiles on so when its in sleep/standby it runs @ 125Mhz and now i don't even run it at 1.25ghz anymore i just have it at 1ghz, 1.25 doesn't even seem like that much of a difference to me
