Hi!
I installed CM10, but I don't like it yet.
How do I go back to CM9? Just flashing the older ROM again doesn't work (it was stuck in a boot animation loop), although I didn't wipe.
Please help.

Are you sure that's gonna work? I don't wanna wipe for nothing.
/Oh with backup you mean the things I would wipe? or some thing in CWM?
i am not entirely stupid, but i am kinda new to this.

Make a backup of you apps with Titanium Backup (not the system apps!), reboot in recovery, make a backup if you want, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache, install rom, wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache again. Then it should work.

Good idea to do a full wipe before doing a full nandroid restore?
Yes a full wipe should be done before a restore. It only takes a second anyway.

Guys, does this still hold true? I'm on TWRP 2.5 and when I restore a nandroid, TWRP wipes data, system and cache before the restore happens...
Idk about cwm but on twrp you don't need to wipe, it will do it for you. But there's nothing wrong with wiping twice.
Sent from an infamous phone.
Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!
Ok so I downloaded a JB rom rebooted in CWM touch I then
wipe data /factory reset
Wipe cache partitions
Wipe dalvik cache
Format system
Format cache
Format data
And flashed the rom
I reboot and it gets stuck sometimes in the Google screen or the X screen
I have left it booting for 1hr and nothing
Due system/cache /data have to be unmounted?
hi there, only thing you must do is to wipe factory, and wipe cache, dont wipe and format other things there.. if you have a back up of your prevoius stock rom, restore it again to restore all you had been formated, to restore your phone to normal, and install again your jelly bean rom but this time just wipe cache and wipe facetory thats all you need to do. sorry for the english

It's pass the Google screen now in the glowing X screen its been on for like 15 min is that normal?
Its should not take that long after flashing the rom max time it takes is 5 mins for me will be same for all there must be something wrong
CMW Touch usually does not play well with JB.
Try flashing with an older CMW.
Alright thanks for the help restoring back to aopk 40 and going to flash a older cwm then rebooting into cwm wipe factory and cache then JB v3 then rebooting it hope fully it works
Good luck, hope it works out for you.
I went through a few guides about restoring from NANDROID backup, but all of them didn't mention about Wipe Data/Factory Reset or Wipe Cache etc. So I'm curious and don't know what to do now. Do I need to wipe?
Yes.

This? In the steps there's no wiping. So if you confirm to me here I need to wipe, I'll listen. So the answer is yes or no? And if yes, do I need to wipe cache?
Read the guide in post#7.
Yes to wipe.

It's always recommended to wipe to get a clean environment, especially if you want to restore to another ROM than the one you are currently on, you should wipe then Restore NAND.
Wiping is recommended, but often times I don't (just don't come screaming if things happen )
When you restore a ROM, all your existing system information is overwritten, so it shouldn't be an issue. Sometimes if the ROM you're restoring from doesn't contain a certain partition (like dalvik cache), but the ROM you're on right now and changing from does, you can get issues, since there's no dalvik cache to replace.
That's how I understand it at least.
This is what I do when I install a new ROM
I Use 4EXT Recovery Touch
Step 1:- backup | restore --> Backup
Step 2:- wipe | format --> wipe data/factory reset --> wipe cache --> wipe dalvik
Step 3:- install from sdcard --> choose zip from sdcard
Step 4:- full wipe
That's it.....

I stand corrected. It seems one doesn't have to manually wipe when restoring a backup. At least in 4ext it is done automatically. I'll be taking a look at it later and edit this post if I'm wrong. Just in case

Can someone please help. Running a rooted GS4 4.3. Made a backup with Rom Manager. was trying some zips to try and get WALLET with tap and pay working, well no go. so I did a full wipe, then booted into recovery and restored the back up I had. Now everything just force closes, making the phone pretty much unusable. There is no Fix Permissions in RM 6.0.2.2 to see if that will help. can someone please help!!!
Thank you

Try this, before you restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache
and last but not least do a "factory reset".
Once that's done go a head and restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery.
There is a very good chance it will work just fine after doing that.
Good luck!

Ok so now in CWM Touch i cannot see my backup. I can see it when I'm in Rom Manager though. I did make a copy of the backup via Rom Manager server and saved it to my computer. How do I restore this back to my phone so CWM can see it.
This really sucks. I can not figure out how to get my backup into the secure section /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup. I tried to manually put it there using Root Explorer, but that doesnt work.. Really need help here.

Maybe try to restore from Rom Manager. Maybe it will restore through their server the same way you backed up. Just a thought.Good luck.

I have the Premium. It is only one way it looks like. It makes a Zip file, which from my research, is a flashable zip. However i try to flash it and it fails;

I think you have to flash it through your CWM recovery. Try to boot into recovery and hit install.Seems there's a backup and restore function through Rom Manager.
You may want to reflash your kernel too, just for the heck of it.
