Dirty flash questions for DEVs.

[me2151]

So im working on ics data for ZVJ and i can dirtyflash ics from stock rom and data will work, but Almost everything force closes. I tried making a backup of stock and clean flashing ics then restoring data only( then i tried cache only) neither did anything(didnt expect it to but still). So my question is. what in the deep levels of a dirty flash can make data work?

Just for fun try this. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache in recovery and then flash your ICS over the stock ZVJ.

The more i think about it, I am sure your force-close issues are coming from the files that are still in the /data/data folders. I think I would get the rooted stock rom on, booted into android and adb pull /data. Then you can thumb through there and see exactly what files are there and maybe utilize some of them in a clean flash of ICS. Just a thought.

I thought of this already. im going to push one folder from the pull at a time to ics through adb to see what triggers data.

EDIT: Nothing from data will enable a connection :/ weird. works fro dirty flash but no other times

I just had an idea. is it possible there are some things not overwritten in the framework? if so that might be it.

 

[jstntp]

Well, framework is located in /system and when flashing a rom (dirty or not) usually /system is formatted via the updater-script prior to loading the new /system files. Take a look at your updater-script and see if /system is being formated or not.

It is being formatted :/ there went that idea... what im trying now is actually DELETING the folder im pushing in data... then pushing the new one. im hoping i can get atleast errors so i know its working >.<

Im getting crashes so i guess its loading the old data. i tried the whole data folder... none of it triggers data.......
