Is your usb plugged in while either backing up or restoring? Have you tried loading a different version of amon?
U need to flash a kernel, nandroid dont save that

so your are saying flash the kernal first then restore nandroid restore?
Okay I just tried what you said and I still got bootloops. And my USB is never plugged in when i do a nandroid.
Something in the backup is giving you bootloops. Try completely wiping, the flashing a new rom.
You can review the recovery log too.

Yes it does. Likely the issue is that a wipe is not being performed before restoring the data in the nandroid.

Garbage in, garbage out.
If your device was unstable when you backed it up, it will continue to be so after you restore.
Try a different Sd card. If your device continues to be unholy, revert back to a stock based rom or even RUU. If your issues persist, you likely have a hardware fault.

Nandroids dont replace the kernel, do the nand then flash the kernel

Man I'm having bootloops all the time now ever since i updated the new combo radios and flashed myn RLS5. On sense with rls5 my phone reboots a lot kinda and with AOSP roms like MIUI my phone reboots like every 24 hours and goes on a bootloop. I can't figure out what's going on. Tried messaging some devs but they don't answer me

When you switched roms, did you do a format data/calkulin's format all? doing either or should fix your bootlooping problem.
I always use caulkins format all. Still get bootloops. Wipe everything, still get bootloops. I dont know what to somwtumes except star all over from scratch.

"Wipe everything", is that a factory restore/reset?
Cause that's what I do (factory reset).

Are you flashing kernels over that?
I see more people look at the General section more then the Q and A so im going to post this here. Im running CM7, 7.0.3. Ive been using it since the cm7 release candidates. This happened during the RC's too, i would be using it, and it would work beautifully for about 3 weeks, then near the end of the week i would boot the phone, and then a bunch of apps force close. Every app that i open force closes, i cant do anything on my phone without something force closing. I cant receive texts, check emails or anything. I open an app and it just closes. Im really really sick of it. I tried re flashing 7.0.3, didnt work. Im looking for either a fix for this, a for sure fix. Or looking for guidance to the original froyo stock rom with sense. It might just be a gingerbread problem, i was rooted on stock for over a month before trying roms. I really need my phone to be working. Please give me some help i would greatly appreciate it!!!!
Well then i make that 1%. Last time it happened when i had Cyanogens last update to CM7 i tried fix permissions, both in recovery and through rom manager. Didnt help. Only thing that helped was installing the update for the next version, worked for about 3 weeks, and now im getting the same force closes. I already tried it today before you posted, didnt help to fix permissions. I can have rom manager open for about 5 seconds then it FC's. Never had this problem on my stock rooted froyo.
Any help? i need phone working alright by tomorrow hopefully.
Can you flash a 2.2 rom.
Sent from my Optimized Inc using XDA Premium App
Idk, can i? I thought you had to do something else to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo.
Nope. Download another 2.2 rom and flash back. The only problem is the kernel but that's in the rom and would change when you flash. I flash between gbread and froyo all the time. If you go Froyo I recommend a z rom. If you want you can do newtoroots new optimized shift its really stable.

Well its running alright, had a couple of random force closes for reasons i dont know. Its fairly slow rom tbh.. I have about 70 MB of memory normally, with CM i had about 200. Ran fast. I tried to look at overclocking, but no app would allow me to. Would any kernel be okay for it? Like chads incredikernel betas? I really need some more performance in this thing, its just running so darn slow! Other then that i really do like the rom.
Is there any way to kinda increase the memory available? Besides closing background apps and removing widgets.
Well i installed beta 8, and it wont go passed my HTC Incredible white screen now, it goes to that then goes black.. Uhhhhh what do i do now? I can get into recovery tho. I cant transfer any files. ****
Someone tell me what to do now... Im screwed..
Was able to mount through recovery, transfering the rom to the phone and going to reflash. ugh!!
Another edit, gah i wish i could just get s-on and not worry about rooting now anymore lol. I just want good performance and a useful phone.
i just picked up an e4gt today, i had one back in december that i rooted then sold. so im back and now there's a ton of stuff out there for this phone.
i just came over from the evo design where there is pretty much nothing happening, and before that i had an evo shift. i had cm7 installed on that and loved it.
so what rom do you guys suggest i use? i see there is cm9 available in alpha form, which has me very tempted.
im looking for a stable rom with no bloatware. and id love some advice.

Go with cm9 that darchstar has posted. It works great and I use it as my daily. After you do the base install I recommend nightly 7/24 and using the chris41g kernel b3 version with it. Great battery life and full functionality.

Does cm9 wipe out cwm?
I'm paranoid to do anything without an option for recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Here is your safest bet (as in super safe):
1. Download the el26 safe cwm kernel from the kernel repository in the sticky for this phone
2. Download cm9 6 and gapps
3. Follow cm9 6 download instructions
4. Let it boot
5. Use mobile Odin if you have it (highly recommend as it makes flashing so easy) and flash the el26 kernel that you downloaded in the kernel section from external sd...always check md5 sum first!
6. Once u see the blue light on ur phone in the LED, hold power+volume up to boot into recovery, once the sgs2 logo shows you can lay off the buttons
7. If you didn't do it in time or held too long, just pull the battery and go to recovery via power+volume up
8. You should be in cwm, flash the nightly of cm9, clear dalvik and cache, then flash the chris 41g b3 kernel and reboot
9. Enjoy
10. From this point forward you have a bomb rom and working recovery that will allow backup/nand/flashing safely.

so, i might try the blu kuban rom.
at this point i want a debloated stable rom. im back to a rooted stock rom with el29.
i just dont want to brick my phone, i have insurance and can take it in to swap it out. its just a waste of time if i can avoid it.
any other suggestions?

Flash Part 1

Go to the updater (Under put things back to stock) and install Part 2 (Two part install is to finish theming Talk)
Reboot and Enjoy
When I did this I went to CWM to flash this through odin. Rom works very smooth. There is a ton of information in the thread but that should get you started.
First a little background. I am not new to the android world whatsoever. I don't post much but have been lurking for years. I had a Verizon GS3 and just recently switched to T-Mobile a few days ago and obviously bought a T-Mobile GS3. My vzw phone had no problems. But for some reason my T-Mobile phone will not boot any kernel I try to flash. Roms flash fine but when I flash a kernel everything goes fine in recovery but my phone won't boot past the splash and I end up having to restore a backup. I know I'm flashing the right kernels. I am on touchwiz based ROMs and haven't tried any aosp Rom because for the first time ever I actually prefer an OEM skin to aosp. So basically am I missing something obvious. Anyone else having thus problem. On Verizon I had to root and unlock the bootlosder. From what I understand tmobiles bootliader was not locked down and all I had to do was root. Like I said. I've tried every touch wiz Rom and every touch wiz kernel with each Rom and none will boot past the splash screen. I always wipe dalvik and cache but even tried wiping data every time too and keep getting the same result. Any input would be appreciated. . Thanks in advance.

Shouldn't need to do any wiping of any kind. I only use AOSP/AOKP, though. May I ask why you even bother with custom kernels? They honestly seem like a waste of time to me.
Im just flash happy. Like to try them out. I've been on Verizon for many Years and am used to the developers over there. I'm still getting used to the devs over here. Don't know any of there work. I'm sure its all good though. Been using imoseyons lean kernel since the thunderbolt back in the day and have stuck with them. Just my personal preference. I'd like to try some of tmobolrs kernel devs work but like I said I can't get a single one to boot.

What kernels have you tried to flash? There are a couple that have ICS builds. Also, what version of CWM are you using?
I've tried all the tw kernels. Every single one with 2 different ICS tw ROMs. I'm not using the leaked jb tw. I'm stickung with the more stable ICS ROMs for now. I just don't understand. I've tried every one. I've been flashing a long time and don't get it. Im kinda new to Samsung though. First Samsung was the galaxy nexus. Didn't ever use Odin with it. Does anyone flash kernels with Odin. Maybe I should try that. And to answer your question I've tried twrp and the latest version of cwm from rom manager. And of course I'm using the ICS TW version of the kernels im trying.

It could just be your phone doesn't like them. There is another guy on CM10 and AOKP that can't get custom kernels to boot either.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
The kernel source code was never released for any build from UVALH2 and beyond. So most of our kernels will only work with UVALEM and UVALG1 builds.
We got kind of lucky I think and ktoonsez att kernel was brought over and works. I think there's one or two others that work now too.
As far as described here go I think we've got some of the best! For an outstanding rom you should try FreeGS3. It works with most of the kernels and is an awesome stable rom. If you want a later build try wildcards XquiziT v70 based on UVALH2. Use ktoonsez kernel with it.
And just to note, the stock kernel is surprisingly good. So give it a fair shot as well. Though I can definitely see some potential advantages of custom ones as well.

Whatever you do................
Be sure to double check before you flash that kernel. Had my first SGS3 for 12 days before hard brick set in. Terrible disease it is.......! I had to adopt a replacement shortly after to cope with the pain of the loss. Back on my feet again now though and soarin' higher than giraffe vagina on the things I learned in my days off for mourning. I can tell ya I've personally flashed the lean kernel and kt-747 with no issues. My problems were with siya mainly.
Guys, I have a serious problem.
It's similar to the one of the thread-opener.
The diference is that I cant get ANY ROM to boot, WITH the stock kernel.
And i do like the guide says: wipe/factory reset, wipe chache, wipe dalvik cache and then flash the ROM.
Everything works fine til the ROM finished flasing and runs a reboot.
My S3 shuts down screen, then turns screen on with the "Samsung Galaxy SIII-GT-I9300" and then thats it!
All i can do is to go in download mode or recovery mode. I can also flash CWM and so on, but after flashing ROMs it won't boot!
Is it possible that i broke the device by formating internal sd-card with the stock recovery tool?
Did it, after I tried to install Wickedv6 ROM and after both times when it rebooted it just reinstalled stock ROM. So i thought, ok delete the internal sd-card, so no stock ROM on it any more.
Also tried this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875923

Also tried to fix the problem by rooting and then flashing ROM. No help.
Please help guys!

The forum you got that stock rom from is the international one. This is the US Tmobile T999 forum. The two phones are NOT compatible.
Only flash, well...anything, from that forum. Our roms will brick yours and vice versa.

I have been looking all over and my eyes are about ready to have a critical meltdown.
I have a T-Mo T-989 (Hercules) and have been looking for a JB ROM all night and found some shady threads or ROMs that don't work. I dunno, maybe I've installed something wrong, little help here?
Generally the ones that will install get hung up during the initial boot, wtf? Have run across some that wouldn't even install and would abort.
I should say I am using CWM 5.0.2.6... I think, its been so long since I have done anything to this phone so I forget but I know its ither Odin or CWM (or are they both one in the same? x.x ) I've been using Darkside Evolution ICS ROM all this time and would be nice to move up to JB if there is a stable one out there
Have you tried vincom's cm build? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886009 its very stable. Been using it for 9 days now without a single SOD or RR. To get the best results I recommend using TWRP. Just head over to the play store and download GooManager. Open, grant superuser, hit menu, then click on "install open recovery script". Go through the prompts and it will download and install TWRP. The method I use for flashing was: Darkside superwipe, ROM, gapps. (I did not use the super light gapps because the home button doesn't work when I do and it doesn't auto restore my apps)

Hmm, well I got goo manager and its now stuck on the TWRP's boot screen and just reboots after so long of sitting there :/ and its already deleted the rom, so I guess I have to go through the CWM rooting proceeders again?
Well I have managed to get CWM5 back on it and got a working ROM for now but it seems when I do the method you imply it flukes and freezes at the TWRP boot screen. I followed ye the best way possible, maybe there is an alternative way?
I have tried installed Vincom's JB all versions and it comes back as error then aborts install or it installs but sits at initial boot for more than 25min and does nothing I've found that while the warning say give it 10min to boot is generally just a 'just in case' scenario since the T989's processors are considerably powerful.
I have tried to get the ROM onto the phone's internal memory and install from there like Vincom said but the computer won't read the phone for some reason >.<
i would say, to use twrp and download the latest cm10 Here.
i recommend twrp for stable flashing cause there's bugs in latest cwm...

Restart recovery, your good!! You need the newer recoveries, like TWRP or CWM 6 to flash JB ROMs

Not entirely true. Contrary to what everyone has been saying, and im not trolling just saying from personal experience - cwr 5.0.2.7 and dark side wipes have yet to give me problems I was on the majority if not all jb roms with no issues other than rr/sod which was before the kernel fix.
I'm a noob and expect that 90% of the people here kno more than I do but I wish someone could explain to me why the scripts and cwr 5027 are suddenly so bad.

CWR 5027 isn't bad at all it's just that using darkside scripts with certain new recoveries has caused some people boot loops and also with the newer recoveries they aren't required since the built in wipe options work just fine.Personally I use the recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1844637
and have had zero issues with it plus it has the darkside scripts built in

With the v3 sbean I couldn't get my home button to work when I ask tmo twice he didn't respond to my question. I'm looking at slimbean next we'll see how that goes

I would recommend trying either AOKP OFFICIAL Build 5 (not sure if by time you read this if theres a newer one) or a CM10 Nightly. I've tried tons of different JB roms from 4.1 to 4.1.2 and those work good. Decent battery life without changing too many settings (I'm afraid to change too many things because I've hard bricked my phone before but barely got it replaced under the 20 day full exchange warranty). No random reboots or force closes for me so far. Highly recommend trying them out, very simple to flash.
Been on the official aokp and its amazingly stable better then anything jb rom I tried on the s2 battery is excellent too

And I haven't had anything go majorly wrong with cm10 since the nightlies went official. I'm on the 10/24 nightly right now.

Actually... I have CMW6 now the touch one. Does that have something to do with it? The main issue I have with SBean and CM9's JB is eveyrone complains that they can't hear me, that I sound like a robot and the call is badly broken up or that I'm not speaking up like my mic isn't picking up on my voice very well.
Is this a ROM error or a kernel error? rather annoying frankly @[email protected]
Go to your phone app then settings and check noise suppression

This is a sure fix then? This would make me the happiest Porsche Husky on Earth if I could go back to Sbean
The customization features of it are to die for
Ooooo, wait a tic... I feel like such n00b now...
I kept downloading V1 thinking it was the newest one xD I think the V6 at the way bottom is the newest one. I'll try that for a few days then report back.
Edit: QUESTION - my screen is flickering (just installed SBEAN V6)... is that a bad install or did I have to fix permissions?
That pretty common in most JB rom but it usually goes away after few mins for me. You can go to settings and then developer options then disable hw overlay but you would need to do it on every boot because it won't stick after a reboot.
Btw you should check out official aokp-milestone-1 it not on here but Google aokp and download the one for our phone. Its pretty sick and stable.
