My backup didn't seem to complete the way it did on my previous devices. I got a weird message and nothing saying the backup was completed successfully. any thoughts?
the last two lines when I try and do a backup are
"unable to find volume."
"Error finding an appropriate backup handler."
I tried to restore a backup I did before I tried to install Google Wallet because every time I reboot I get a box that says "Android Is Updating" and then it proceeds to "optimize" like 100 programs which takes several minutes. When I try to restore it says that the MD5 sum is invalid. Any thoughts?
I even wiped my phone and started over from scratch thinking I messed something up. I keep getting an MD5 sum mismatch when I try to restore from the backup...

This is normal behavior, whether you've installed google wallet or not.
Nope it only started after I tried to install it and it stopped after I reflashed the stock system image...
MODS I accidentally posted this in the "general" forum and I meant to put it in the Q&A forum. Please move it if this is a problem Thanks!

Its normal on reboot to get the "optimizing" dialogue and cycling through your apps.
Well I"m telling you that It only started after I tried to install Google Wallet and it stopped after I flashed back to the original factory image and hasn't happened since. I've rebooted at least 12 or 15 times trying to get CWM to work since I reflashed...

hi,
thanks for posted here for the solution worked from your case. appreciate.
I had tried but not working in my issue.
just would like to share the full details about my issue when backup:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.5.0.2
Backing up boot image...
Backing up recovery image...
Backing up system...
Backing up data...
Backing up .android_secure...
Unable to find volume.
Error finding an appropriate backup handler.
basically, normal successfully backup; we should getting 6 files which is:
boot.img
cache.ext4.tar *missing*
data.ext4.tar
nandroid.md5 *missing*
recovery.img
system.ext4.tar
after I got the error above, in the backup folder only got 4 files. I', still failed to resolve the issue by the method from Exca. correct me if I did anything wrong.
Hey vaffan honestly not trying to be rude here but your tone is a little off, you have done these things to your fone not anyone on xda. This forum is a place to discuss and build solutions acting like no one is helping and by some right they should be isn't going to get you anywhere. Its also the holiday season so I am sure many amazing devs are spending time with family.
Now on to your problem. If you have a working solution....flashing back to stock. ... I would try that and work from the beginning reroot your device and reinstall cwm and try just from stock rooted state. You can use logcat and adb to verify things each step of the way.
Half the fun of android for me is breaking it then figuring out where I went wrong

Do you have GSM or CDMA edition of GN?
If CDMA, what version of CWM do you use?
There has been som issues with CWM 5.5.0.2 and CDMA edition, but there is an CWM 5.5.0.4 version that is working with CDMA edition.

I'm going to ignore your first paragraph. I'm a adult and will not tolerate being scolded by you. I'll talk however i want whatever i want. if I make any further comments on this I will end up getting banned. Don't talk to me like that again.
Secondly, I have tried going back to stock (several times in fact). This isn't my first Android device. It is however my first one without an SD card. I believe that it is looking for the SD card and getting confused at certain steps when its finding the internal memory and not the SD card...

I tried a 4.2.2 ROM Version, let Google Play restore my stuff and halfway through I got a 920 error on everything, so I tried to wipe the dalvik cache and rebooted and still got the error. Then I read up and saw 4.2.2 was buggy somewhat so I figured that was the problem, noticed my internal storage was low so I wiped it before flashing the 4.1.2 rom, successfully flashed it, booted back up and was still getting the same error after initial setup.

Sunday my phone said "android system recovery 3e failed to mount" I can still odin with the computer and get into recovery but nothing on my flash card is readable and that is where all my roms are located. Sprint tech played with it for an hour said it was bricked and they couldn't do anything. Yesterday I realized hope because I could still flash odin it just wouldn't recognize my card. I kept getting the fallen over droid with red print saying not installed. I kept flashing all different one click's and even at one point wet my pant's because my phone now said on rebott Galaxy I9000 which when I did this before I was totally bricked.
I reformatted my sd card and odin one click from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954
then my phone rebooted with stock gb27 then to make sure everyting was good I updated the software from Samsung's website and my phone has benn great since yesterday 3:00 pm. I'm hesitant from rooting agian since this would have been the 4th bricked E4GT and I've got until 12/13 before upgrade. Running stock has been good otherthan me being a tablet mode junkie.
In closing I think what did the best was reformatting my sd card, I'm not sure what happens when doing that but I did acces my card from my computer and take my important files off 32gb card before formating in case I lost items. Didn't end up loosing anythining but i'm a junkie not an expert.

Everything on my internal and external storage remained intact. I just vol down power button to get into download mode and odin form the link http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=166.
It actually booted not for sure why this link was different than the others however it worked. After this installed and I set the phone up I then went to samsungs site and did the update from themevice(Install),Others (Software) (ver.OS Update GB27 (Jelly_Bean)).
It works fine now funny thing sprint tech's said to only update software through kies and it never worked for me.
Main question's everyone asked me was: What screen freezes, how far can you get it to boot, can you see your sd card, when it doid crashes trying to install what color is the print and what exactly does it say?
I flashed an AOSP Rom (SuperNexus) on my LGOG. Now when I try to flash a Stock (ZVB) based ROM, my phone reboots every time data connects. I tried Stock Rooted and Lifeless. The ROM's will flash onto my phone, but I can't get any data.
I tried installing LGNPST, but every time I connect my phone and open the LGNPST software I get a message that LG USB/Parallel dongle is not detected. I flashed back to Super Nex and my connection is fine.
And I am re-flashing, not restoring a backup. I ran a backup in TWRP before I flashed Super Nex so that I could get back to my Stock setup, but TWRP can't see anything to restore.
Ugh

sounds like you're having similar issues as bmp7777, have you made any changes to your storage? as in the whole sdcard0 stuff? are your backups stored in sdcard0 ? when you flash a aosp rom it changes the way your storage is set up make sure you put your important stuff on sdcard0

Hope I didn't come across as rude, wasn't my intention, just thought up the quickest way I knew would solve it
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
This happened to me a couple months ago.
Easy solution:
Go to TWRP -> Wipe -> Advanced -> make sure you wipe all four options data, dalvik, cache, and system.
When you factory reset you only wiped data, dalvik, and cache. You forgot to wipe system, then you can go back to flashing normally.
Dont worry this wont wipe your SDcard.
Well I ****ed up. I formatted the data partition. I am now hard bricked. No recovery, no boot, nothing. glad I purchased that insurance.

Are you actually hard bricked because at this point normally I'm pretty sure you could just LGNPST back to stock? I mean I've wiped everything before to rule out dirty flashing related bugs on ROMs and I don't think TWRP actually touches any of the really critical low-level files.

Worse than I've done before. Whatever I did I got black screen no matter what volume rocker power button combo I use. I have lgnpst installed on my computer but it doesn't recognize that I have my phone plugged in. Not sure what to do with that. Everything worked well when I rooted.

I had the same issue with LGNPST. The solution is very simple. Uninstall LGNPDT completely from your computer. Go into start-computer-c drive and delete folders labeled LG electronics off of there and inside program files. Then reinstall LGNPST but right click the .exe file and select install as administrator. This will solve your issue and flash back to stock. Make sure you follow the normal process of selecting the .dll and .bin files.
Let me know if this helped.

[Q] Phone was fine, ran out of battery, now "System Ui Has stopped" every few seconds
Hey,
Note 2 running PACMAN rom, android 4.3.
I woke up and checked it at 8am, no problems at all. Went to use it at 1pm and it had run out of battery. I plugged it into my computer to charge it, turned it on and it said "System UI has stopped. Blame Tyler" - and continues to do this every time you press OK, with about a 3 second gap in between each one.
I restart my phone quite regularly and I don't think I've installed anything that could be causing this. I've disabled XPosed but same problem. Any other ideas? Otherwise I'll have to just wipe it and start again, perhaps with CM. I need a working phone for tomorrow though!
Cheers
Maybe a silly question, but have you wiped cache and dalvik cache from recovery? If not try it.

This seems quite sinisiter - thanks for the suggestion but it hasn't worked, and it's unearthed something more concerning about the state of my phone (the TWRP messages, see below). Can't believe I didn't think to do that myself though! (I haven't messed around with ROMs for quite a while so am out of practice, I've had this one for a few months).
Delvik cache completed, then said something like "updating partition details. E: Error opening '/data/system/...." I/O Error" and various APKs - one of which was system UI. Wiping the cache again told me done, but loads of errors of similar APKs (This time in /data/data/ though). This sounds incredibly ominous though and I've never seen that error before in any of the wipes or anything I've done.
Restarted it but the system UI error messages persist. I want to wipe and install a fresh ROM but I'm worried I'm going to be left with a totally useless phone if things won't wipe or flash properly. Any ideas would be great.
If anything goes wrong u still have the option to flash a new rom through odin.
