Did you remove anything? How many apps do you have installed?

Flash your nandroid, check to make sure everything is ok and try again.

Also, for future reference, please post anything dealing with rooting in the "all things root" sub-forum. Purely for organizational purposes

Pre-kitchen can restore the last backup it created.

I would suggest restart, home and power to your "bootloader", wipe, and reflash. See if that helps?

alright i tried the nandroid back up but i still had the problem. ><
ok i went into boot loader < wipe < but there are 5 things to wipe(data/factoryreset, dalvik-cache, SD ext pertition, battery stats, rotate settings) do i wipe them all or which ones specifically??

I don't remember those options when doing it.. I assume you'll want the data wipe though. You want to wipe out previous versions before flashing. I didn't do this the first time I flashed and received force close for both sense and phone over and over

data/factory reset is the one that you want

I was having this issue after installing some new apps I got online. What I did was just go back and uninstall them, one by one, until things worked correctly. It really is easier than flashing the phone and reloading all over again.....


Just try to think of the last app you installed, and which ones you may have installed that may clash with one another or not be the best thing for your phone.


Mine was an app killer and a task manager, for reference.

WOW thx for all your help guys my phone is running like a champ now with zero problems.

now i had 1 more question, now that im running fresh 1.1 can i wipe and install fresh 2.0c and will it run perfect? or do u guys think i would have the same problem?

 

[ccapasso]

You can try and wipe and install fresh 2.0c if you want. There are still some bugs here and there in all 2.x ROM's. If you want a daily 100% ROM, stick with Fresh 1.1 or another 1.5 for now.

The 2.1 ROM's (as fun as they are) are not 100% complete as they state. I'm sure someone will try and argue this by saying if you flash this fix and do this tweak you can get it to work. The truth is, you likely can, but if you are new to rooting and want something that you can use daily that is 100%, my suggestion is to stick with Fresh 1.1 with GCK (gumbo custom kernel).
