[Q] Cwm 3 restore - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help with restoring my backup on DK28 using cwm 3. Every time I try to restore my backup, cwm 3 will still boot, but the system won't boot up into android. Can anyone help me with this?

Is it a backup that was done before you installed CWM3? If so I would assume it is due data having been created using amend and not supported by edify scripts....

No, I made the backup with Cwm 3 on DK28 running Nebula 1.0.7 with a gingerbread theme, and I'm trying to restore the backup with Cwm 3, but it never boots past the samsung screen, it just goes right into CWM recovery.

[Q] Help! Bootloop after basic Restore

If I try to restore from recovery, it goes through the restore process then when I reboot it bootloops. It will restore from advanced restore if I do all four separately. Is there any fix to restore restore> Sorry for the stupid play on words.
Are you wiping everything b4 you restore
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
Yes, wipe data, dalvik and cache. It will boot after advanced restore just not typical restore.

Still need suggestions please.

You say it restores fine and you can get it working after the advanced restore? Perhaps try going into rom manager if you use that, and hit menu -> settings and make sure erase recovery is on. Then flash an older version of recovery to your phone, then flash the latest. Maybe that'll help?
Just tried that. Did not work. I don't know what to do. Thank though.

What clockwork version?

Had 3.0.0.8 backup. It will restore in advanced, not normal restore. Flashed 3.0.0.7 did nandroid and full wipe, same result, only advanced doing all but sd-ext individually.

[Q] CWM Downgrade?

Will Downgrading to a lower CWM recovery ruin my nandroid back up? meaning, if i go from 3.x.x down to 2.x.x will my back up no longer work on 2.x.x?
I'm almost certain your backups will still work.

Lost root and no usb cable

I flashed the most recent TBASGSIII 2.0 ROM. (FF18 stockish tw ROM with agats kernel/recovery).
I was installing my apps setting up my bootanimation and removing garbage and think i removed/disabled the wrong thing.
Programs are acting like they have no root access. Cant quickboot or remount /system. Mobil Odin cant recognize device to flash gb kernel to restore nandroid.
Im visiting with the inlaws and have no usb cable. I have a laptop, wifi, kies, and my E4GT as my only tools for survival.
I have no way to recover from a brick except to reactivate my HTC Hero (epic fail).
My most recent nandroids are all ICS using agats recovery to backup. Im not sure if its safe to restore using even his safe recovery or if that will even fix my issue.
Last things i remember doing before this were flashing a boot animation zip, replacing the boot animation and sound files in system, and disabled a couple apps (talk, task, not sure).

You must have deleted super user
Try flashing su.zip
Also mobile Odin needs root access so you can't use it
But you can use odin

Can u link su.zip or post i can get it from? I cant get xda app to load for some reason.
Superuser app shows binaries are installed, but cant gain root access to update them.
Is it safe to nandroid restore with agats kernel/recovery?

As long as you can still get to CWM this should do the trick for you. Flash it in CWM, reboot your phone, and you should be good to go.

Good luck!
PS - Restoring a nandroid from Agat's recovery is completely safe.
Agats had proven to be safe for me. I have flawlessly backed up and restored using it. Even wiping everything works. Just make sure you don't wipe after you restore if your recovery isn't agat's... YOU WILL BRICK HARD. If you did a nandroid, Agat's should save you.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Thank you all. I did eventually make it home and odined to el28 and restored from there to be sure.
Im glad that agat's kernel is safe for recovering too. Definitely loving the green menu, too

Unable to boot phone from nandroid backup

I recently flashed a 4.2.1 ROM but it had too many bugs so I tried restoring my stock (4.0.3) backup from TWRP but I keep getting caught in a bootloop. I've tried unrooting, rerooting, and trying the whole process over again, and I even remembered to flash the correct kernel after restoring my backup but no matter what I try I get the same result. It can never fully boot up. It continues to just hangs on the white HTC screen. If I'm missing something or doing something wrong can someone please help me out with a possible solution? Thanks

Flesh boot.img
Thank you but I did mention above that I also remembered to flash the kernel (boot.img) after restoring and that didn't do any good either. Any other ideas why this is going on and how I can solve it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This happens mostly due to wrong kernel.but as you said you have the right kernel, then try installing some other custom Rom and kernel and extract data/app from nandroid backup using app like apk extractor.

Flash this image afterwards: Search for the file named (boot-TK-USB-CM10-201210112240.img) it will be fine.

Thank you but please note that Some ROMs boot up just fine. The problem is just restoring a backup (stock) if a new ROM didn't work out. It's the same process where my backups work until I install a new ROM and then am unable to restore a backup, leaving me stuck in recovery mode. So I need to know what I can do once in that postion. Why is it that after flashing a new ROM it doesn't let me restore my backup even after flashing the boot.img?? I will try that extraction method and see if that makes some sort of difference but I honestly don't think it'll do anything when it comes to just trying to restore.

Working cwm recovery?

I rooted a while back and did not install a recovery because both cwm and twrp were both having issues causing bootloops and not being able to restore a backup.
I always used cwm on my phones. I posted in the cwm thread but got no reply. Has the issue been fixed.
Is there a working cwm recovery that allows to restore backups?
Thanks!

I tried the one they have posted on galaxynote3root.com and it ended up booting into Odin mode. I then just used twrp and it fixed my problem. So I'm guessing so far we wait?
