I created a backup using CWM 3.1.0.1 (from rooted EC05). I then flashed one of the new roms, and today wanted to go back, so i booted into 3.1.0.1 and did the restore (from cw). Now the phone boots up to the Samsung screen and sits there. What am I doing wrong? Sorry if this has already been asked, I did a search but couldn't find this particular issue. Thanks for any and all help.
both backups were made using 3.1.0.1? and were both made in 3finger recovery? and when you restored you were in 3 finger recovery, not reboot recovery?

I only did 1 backup, not sure what you mean by 3 finger recovery? I booted in CWM (purple) and did the back-up. I then put on the "Bamboozle" rom (and yes, I wiped everything 3x like qb shows in the vid) then installed the rom. I ran it for the past week (loved the rom, but it was eating my battery really bad) so wanted to try a different rom. I thought the easiest way to start was to restore the backup I made, so I booted back into cwm and selected Backup/Restore, Restore, Yes and it ran and said it restored fine. I reboot, but all I get to now is the Samsung screen, no further.

Let me just say, I think I f'ked my phone up. So I gave up trying to restore, just odin'd back to stock (ec 05). Which I then re-rooted and re-installed CWM 3.1.0.1 (I have titanium backups as well). However, now the phone runs really, really slow and when I try to restore apps from titanium it just sits there (in batch mode). Sorry, for being a noob; hey, if nothing else, maybe I'm making someone smile at my dumb a$$. But now, if I can be even more stupid, is there a way to just "reset" the phone, by that I mean put it back to a "true stock" form so I can start over? And then, can I just delete these backups, and roms from the sd card (just hookup to laptop and delete from the sd-card)? I think maybe it'd be easier to just start from scratch again...thanks for the help, I try to keep up with the forums, but so many posts....
What he means by 3 finger is the ONLY way to get into recovery for proper operation. With power off press and hold camera, volume down, and power. Holding all 3 until you see the recovery menu. If you use any other method such as ROM Manager or Quick Boot you will more than likely screw up your phone. Neither application is recommended for recovery operations.

I believe clockwork does not backup the kernel. You may need to install a kernel.
Just a thought...

If you backed up on ec05 and installed a gingerbread rom you need to odin back to ec05 and then do the restore. It won't work if you are on different os versions. At least it never has for me.

Wait, did you wipe data/system,cache, and Dalvik Cache then restore your nandroid? I have a SRF 1.2, an Urban Regeneration, and a CM7 nandroid. As long as I wipe everything then restore I have no problems. I have bounced between all three today with no issues

Yeah, the issue was I was running bamboozle (GB leaked rom), so once I odin'd back to EC05, I was able to run the restore without problem. I am now running SRF 1.2 (awesome rom btw) and I was able to restore when trying to install that rom (and the genocide kernel). Thanks for all the helpful answers.

I would have thought the same thing. However, I simply restored my SFR 1.2 nandroid right over the gingerbread rom. With a few glitches smoothed out I am running fine again with no Odin involved.

Yeah, I have gotten the dreaded Google Services Framework FC's a couple of times but for the most part I can wipe everything and restore a Froyo setup even when on a Gingerbread ROM. The purp recovery is good like that.

When restoring across different OS versions it is handy to do a Restore>Advanced Restore Data from the Nand backup. There may be the occasional FC if the data format has changed but that usually can be fixed by clearing data of the offending app, especially for Google sevice framework.

Kenny - I did try that as well. I tried everything, I did the "Restore" option like 4 separate times, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache 3 x, even did the Advanced option and went down the list. None of that helped. Now it may be that I just didn't wait long enough, but I figured 4-6 minutes of the "Samsung" screen meant it had stopped responding (I see that all that time in MS apps). I finally odin'd back to stock ec05, re-rooted (and updated back to cwm 3.1.0.1), then I ran the restore (not advanced), and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions on this.

Sometimes our phones can be so finicky. Glad you got it working. Usually when Dalvik is rebuilding it takes awhile at the S screen, so you are correct that 4-6 minutes at Samsung is a cry for help from your phone.

Not true. I always go from froyo to gingerbread with backups. What he Did wrong was not wipe when he tried to restore his back up that's why he got stuck on the Sammy screen. Also if he tried to restore a rfs froyo rom it could've gotten stuck there also since bammbozle was ext4.

You can restore from EXT4 to RFS with advanced restore data nand. He said he tried all of this and still got stuck. But I think you are correct and the first restore attempt borked everything. From there a reflash then advanced restore data should have worked.

So if I understand what you guys said, I should have wiped first (before the initial restore), which I didn't do. When the first restore didn't work, then I did the wipe x3, but it sounds like by that point it was already too late. So should you always wipe before restoring? I only ask, because once I got everything back to a good place I flashed the sfr 1.2. The first attempt caused the phone to boot up with that annoying "Android" screen, so I just booted into CWM and restored. That time I just restored (no wipes, no advanced) and it restored fine. I then re-flashed and all was good. So it seems like you don't always have to wipe x3 before restoring? Thanks btw, all good info for future ref.
This is for anyone who's bricked their phone (stuck on boot loop):
I know some of you are testing our new ROMs out right now and some testers are bricking their phones, if this happens, just flash a kernel with CWM, then you need to unzip the zip file then copy the folder into clockworkmod/backup folder in your internal storage then restore in ClockworkMod Recovery and you should be at least back on Zedomax V2 kernel + stock ROM.
THIS IS NOT A ROM zip file, just a CWM backup you can restore. (don't try to install from sdcard, it won't work!!!)
Download zip file here:
http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/Epic4GTouch/development/ZedomaxBackup.zip
After restoring to this stock ROM plus rooted kernel, you can do this to get it completely stock:

Please hurry. bootloops suck That's what I get for not doing a nandroid.
If it's anything like cwm on the evo, you want to avoid restoring someone elses nandroid since it will overwrite your wimax keys...unless the wimax file is excluded.
Samsung stores their wimax keys differently.

Help???
Ok so I need help unbricking....Here is what I did...
Ran odin to root, no problem.
Flashed zedomax kernel, no problem..
Played with apps and settings, quadrant crashed so I went into clockwork and master resert, clear cache, and davlik, to start all over.
now my phone won't boot past bootup logo. I downloaded this recovery backup and no luck. any suggestions?
I am attempting this recovery process now. The following are the results:
ClolkworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.5
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Restoring boot image...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Restoring cache...
Restore complete!
Then, I reboot but I am still stuck in the bootloop. Any thoughts?
While the restore works, I'm having the data connectivity issue that I wasn't before. Google talk verification failed. I'm gonna pull bubbys kernel and flash it over. I'm still wondering if clockwork isn't wiping properly and that's the reason people are having bootloops.

I'm having the same verification problem with Google Talk. I was having connectivity issues initially but after performing a ##72786# reprovision it seems to be working (at least for now, will update if that proves wrong).
Initially I was able to connect to the web and browse the market but downloading any apps would loop infinitely. The reprovision fixed that as well.
Hopefully we'll see a flashable ROM soon that works as intended but for now this is certainly a good standby. Thank you!
EDIT: Reprovisioning was a panacea. It looked good but I can't maintain a 3G/4G connection for more than a few minutes. Apps will install only after queuing them in the Market then restarting. WiFi connects but I can't download anything over that either. Considering hard-bricking and playing dumb with Sprint so I can exchange it then giving up on the custom stuff until development has progressed.
I was actually thinking of the doing the same thing...if you do hard brick it and take it back, lemme know how it went for you pls,

Don't want to sound rude in anyway but you really need to just put your phone down and do some reading. Or you are going to end up with a really exspensive paper weight. If you have not even heard of odin you should not be messing wihmth any modems or radios because the wrong modem will brick the **** out of that shiny new SIII. Like I said no disrespect and we were all new at this at one point. But just take some time and do some reading.

Look for "Media Storage" in the Applications manager list within System Settings. It will be under the "ALL" tab. Force Stop it then clear data and cache. If that doesn't fix it, disable it completely. You can tell that everything's been fixed if you open your Play Store without triggering a crash. Once it's fixed, you'll need to re-enable media storage again, and reboot.

Why you flashed manually with Mobile Odin? The recommended method is to let PmR use the Custom Recovery to flash the MOD. Which recovery do you have installed on your phone? CWM, TWRP?

You have a nandroid backup, of course? Try the tools on dr.ketan's signature.
As a last resort, you can try Kies to return to official, unrooted, stock Sammy-blessed state. :cyclops:
And start flashing again, afterwards! :angel:

Good Luck!
I recommend titanium backup or same other compare to nandroid.
Nandroid push you back to original state while you want to test mods and roms, titanium will be much helpful to restore data on cross roms.

TWRP seems to be working pretty well, but do i have to extract the folder and back it up on my desktop in case of another full wipe?

Oh that's cool! So it really just screenshot the entire phone and restores back to when it was made?
Side note, each backup is almost a GB big, won't it eat up a lot of memory on your phone? As such, which options are best to select when using twrp? (eg efs, data, system)

Efs is just 20mb, needs when you have messed up imei, it is must in my point of view even if you don't want nandroid backup
data is backup of installed applications
System is ROM, which needs to recover device when you have got something wrong.

What do you mean by PA?
Are you talking about stock 4.4.2?
Maybe your data is not backed up correctly. Which recovery are you using to restore data?

Just check if you have proper root access?
To access /data root access is required. If you donot have that then there are chances you can get this error.

My device is rooted, I can use TiB, Nandroid Manager etc.

flash the recovery you made the backup with, flash dn3, boot it up, go back to recovery and try to restore your backup. if it doesn't work get titanium backup. you can restore data out of nandroid backups with tita backup but it isn't a good recommendation as it seems to be a messy way and it takes ages.
hope it helps

I tried already your first suggest. It works to somebody, but it dont work for me so, I have to try NandMan
Have you tried wiping the /data partition?
And try the int sd fix with dr. Ketan's utilities once too.

Nandroids get broken all the time. As mentioned there are ways to recover some data but I doubt you're going to get the results you want.
