I have started in the past month or so...using ADB to "clean" up my partitions and for me...I have had greater success and less of those stupid little problems like the one you posted.

When you are going to load a new ROM back up to a different ROM, etc. Do the following:

- Boot phone into recovery:
- With ADB, type the following in your computer:

Code:
adb shell
# format DATA:
# format CACHE:
# format SYSTEM:
The data and cache you do all the time I'm sure...but most people don't ever format their system. This is where you are writing all of your system files to and if your switching from ROM to ROM...you are leaving fragments and possibly other files behind. Like I said...I have had less of these problems performing this EVERY time I restore a new backup or ROM...If you want to keep data but you are moving to a new ROM...just format the system and cache.
im trying to do this now and im getting

format_root_device: cant resolve "data" and the same for system and cache
