Do you know how to Odin back to stock? Follow this thread for it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209
Then when you restore, only restore data under advanced restore.
If you used Mybackup root or Titanium you can restore your apps from there, otherwise you should download them again from the market.

I would suggest using this one:
Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6
Most new ROMs need the newer clock work to flash them.

EL29 and Clockwork, no Clockwork?

Hi all,
First, I did try and look for an answer before posting this question.
About me, I'm a former WebOS user. And I am still considering myself a newbie when it comes to Android rooting, superuser and mods.
I was on EL02, like most people. I had rooted my phone using the youtube videos posted here and also had Clockwork installed.
A few days ago, I ran the EL29 auto update posted here on xda. I used the NODATA version held power + vol dwn and when I rebooted all my apps and data were intact. Perfect!
It went fine, but I have a few problems I need to fix, which I'm not going to into with this post.
I am wondering how to get the Clockwork installed.
I thought that was going to get installed automatically but it wasn't.
According to the instructions posted here, it said to do option C. But the problem is I am never given the opportunity to enter any options when doing the update. The ODIN just uses that NODATA script and there is nothing else I can do from what I see.
When I do reboot into developer mode, power + vol up, I am getting just 4 options:
1) reboot system now
2) apple update from sdcard
3) wipe data/factory reset
4) wipe cache partition
That's it, when I have EL02 with Clockwork, I have many more features, such as: Backup, Restore, Restore from SD etc.
How do I get that stuff back, I'm assuming that what I have now is stock without Clockwork.
And as I said in the instructions it talked about option c to install Clockwork, but I was never offered that option. I never had the screen show in the instructions.
Maybe I was not supposed to have done a Power + Vol DWN and maybe I should have done a Power + Vol UP. But it didn't say this.
So I'm lost now.
Thanks for your expertise and help!
Rob

I'll let you read the line in the EL29 post by itself. Hopefully it is more clear:

If you want CWM use Option C in the Auto Root Package to install EL29+CWM (you are already rooted so Option A is not necessary)

You'll notice "Auto Root Package" is a link to the thread you need to use.

[Q] Returned to stock, notification bar and on-screen buttons missing!

Hi guys,
Hoping you can help me here!
I decided to return to stock after trying a few custom ROMs, so followed the KDZ instructions to the letter, downloaded the correct KDZ as per my IMEI - D85520H_00.
I opted to perform a CSE flash as I was coming from a custom ROM.
All was going well until I went through the set up wizard. I pressed skip on the section to reinstall the LG apps and it just dumped me to the homescreen with neither the notification or on-screen buttons!
Sorry about the poor quality pictures, I can't even take screenshots on the phone!

I've tried a hard reset twice but to no avail, should I just try the entire process again? It all seemed to go fine!
Cheers,
James.
Edit: Forgot to say on first boot the wizard restarted my phone before I could do anything and the screen then wouldn't respond so I had to do a hard reset.
Edit 2: I've just re-flashed it, not entered any settings for data, Google Accounts, Knock Code etc and the same thing is happening
It happened to me. What i did to solve it was enter to TWRP and wipe everything: data, dalvik, cache, internal memory and system (This will softbrick your device so make sure your download mode is working because theres no turning back). Then put in on download mode and flash to stock.
Good luck.

Thanks for that I flashed a different custom ROM in the end, but I might give this another try later when I've got my motivation back!
I have the same problem except that i can't enter in download mode and i don't have twrp recovery. What can i do?

You need the stock ROM (never rooted) and the stock recovery for OTAs to work.
You can find a stock TWRP backup of the ROM (change your recovery to TWRP first, obviously), and the stock recovery (for after you've flash the stock backup) in this thread.
Instructions are in the OP.
Thank you so much! I will try your solution!
Hello again, I tried to follow the instructions but I dont know which TWRP backup collection will work for my telcel (mexico) HTC m8... I am still lost at it... thank you again for your help

You need 1.12.600.20 backup which currently not available.
Make a request in my thread so I won't forget to search thru my hardisk when I'm home later. I believe I still have that 1.12.600.20 backup
Check my thread, the backup now available
Restore 1.12.600.20 backup
Install 4.32.600.2 stock recovery.img (as 1.12.600.20 recovery.img is not available)
then you can do OTA update to 4.32.600.2
The files are available at post #2 & post #4

Question How to get out to TWRP bootloop

I forgot to disable my encryption when I flashed TWRP now im stuck with bootloop on twrp
do we have option to disable encryption or this needs to be hard reset?
confirming hard reset that would be
advanced wipe
tap on
delvik
meta
data
then swipe to wipe right?
that shouldnt remove my stock room or brick my stock room right?
im sorry, im new to this.
Thanks in Advance!
It is not any rule to disable encryption when flash TWRP, so if you did the flash operation right that bootloop is not normal. Can you enter in TWRP? If so, try to delete Delvik only and try to reboot to system. If it returns to TWRP, you may need to do a Format data (yes) in advanced wipe section (this will erase all data from your phone) - reboot to TWRP (not absolute necessary, but I always do it) - reboot system.
Try Clean Flash custom Roms step 16: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/4288121/post-85137963

thank you for your swift response.
unfortunately it reboot back to twrp.
i might need to flash this over with miui.eu 12.5 using fastboot hopefully it get sorted.
i'll wait for your response before doing so though.
Try flash the Rom again. Confirm the Rom is downloaded correctly without interruption.
You shouldn't need to wipe or format other parts before flashing a Rom.
Before boot up, do the step as the picture.
Will do.
I will try to follow this guide: https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads...all-xiaomi-eu-rom-for-xiaomi-redmi-k40.60379/

If you are following that, you don't need to do as the picture I posted earlier.
mate, just an update. I was able to successfully installed global.eu room and booted it. i guess we move forward with disabling any password first before flashing TWRP and installing Magisk.
I appreciate you checking on this, man this community is awesome!

Question why can't backup applications in MIUI backup?

Hello.
Why is no applications backed up when backing up in miui backup?
What good is such an application if it can't back up any one application?
In Settings>Xiaomi account>Xiaomi Cloud u can make a back up that include all/most of ur apps. It's useful when u flash stock ROM only.
You didn't understand me at all.
I have a stock rom.
When backing up, every application is not backed up, only an exclamation mark appears next to them and that's it.
The backup should be 1.5 gb, but only 34 mb will be saved.
I just showed u another way to do a back up (which will restore most of ur apps) instead using miui backup (which is an app, I guess). If doesn't suit u, no problem Btw, I can do nothing to change what miui backup does, so that's why i suggested another way.
Don't bother with miui app backups, they'll just break everything if you restore them after flashing a ROM.
Use google cloud backups for settings and some app data for restoring stuff after a flash or reset.
Hi, just an additional question: does this MIUI backup works with weekly developer eu ROM ?
Thanks

It doesn't work because Miui is a real s h i t
MyPhoneExplorer works fine backing up apps at once. To restore then we need to restore one by one by using myphoneexplorer "Aplications" or copy the all directory to the phone and then install one by one.
Swish is suppose to do this but I do believe you must be rooted for a full backup
Same here. totally frustrating. Why " Not supported" ?

with xiaomi.eu ROM 12.5.9 the Backup works.
I think higher versions are buggy
