Hi everyone. I used TWRP to make a backup of my CM10 nightly so I could flash a TW rom and be able to boot between the two by using the recoveries. Backed up CM10 no problem. Wiped/installed the TW rom (FreeGS3) successfully and it booted just fine. Used it for a little, then I restored my CM10 backup and it just shows the CM10 boot animation and nothing else is happening. I noticed that it made 2 data archives while backing up, but thought nothing of it. Upon further review, I discovered that I can boot with just the 1 data file restored but once I restore the 2nd data file, I get the endless boot animation. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I really need the data I have on here for school and it annoys me that it's sitting in a file that I can't restore!
I posted a question about this same type of issue yesterday here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31573026
...and nobody has seemed to give a crap. But I too have been having trouble restoring my CM10 nandroids. I dunno what the deal is. It's weird.
Also I posted the question in the CM10 nightly thread, and all I got was, "TWRP works fine for me. TWRP restores fine for me. Blah, blah, blah...
Although did read in other places, rootzwiki and around google that TWRP has been known to not restore CM10 nands well for some reason. Something having to do with it not restoring the kernel data well. And the only way around it is to reflash whatever kernel you were using. Kind of a drag. But I'm with you, my TW rooms have been restoring just fine, but the CM10s have been a mess.
Considering switching back to CWM.

So am I basically screwed? I have my notes and stuff for school saved on there and I kinda need them, and about 40,000 text messages. :/ Did yours make 2 data archives?

Actually I only get one data archive. But someone somewhere did mention something about using the "extract from nandroid" option in Titanium Backup. I haven't tried it yet, but supposedly it works. I think there's other "extract from nandroid" app on the market if I'm not mistaken.
As of right now, I'm about to email the Team Win development team to ask them about the issue. Maybe they can tell me what's going on. Cuz it's only recently this started happening with the restoring of CM10 nandroids, at least for me.

Yeah I've used TWRP to make CM10 backups and this is the first time that this has happened to me and of course it happens when I need it most! I flashed a TW rom so I could flash the corporate PRL (24006). I went to restore my backup and bam, no boot.

Same thing happened with me. Did the whole Prl thing, and now they're not restoring well. Happened to me with trying to restore the last three CM10s I've ttied to restore. I dunno if the Prl change would have anything to do with it. Although I did get one to settle down after wiping cache and delvik twice, and fix permissions.
But gonna try it again tonight.
Also, I emailed team win and linked them back to here. Hopefully we'll hear back soon.

I tried changing the PRL back to what it was before the backup and it still doesn't boot unfortunately. :/ Luckily I backed up the TWRP backup to my computer so I don't have to worry about losing it. Does your boot animation just keep playing over and over again after it reboots?

Yeah it does. For the 3rd one I tried restoring, it at least booted into the rom, but once I started using it, it would force close after a couple minutes. And it would do that over and over. Until I wiped cache and delvik.
Was going to try doing a nandroid with the same prl and restoring. Cuz I've only experienced this problem when I've tried to restore a nandroid with the old prl.

For the 3rd nandroid, once it booted up, I immediately booted into recovery and wiped cache and delvik, and rebooted. I did that like three times before it settled down a bit. But ultimately it didn't fix it 100%. I still got FCs. Just not as frequent.
But I finally restored a couple "new" nandroids with the same prl, and I had no problems. I really think it had something to do with the two prls clashing.

But I have gone back into my TW rom and updated the PRL back to what my CM10 backup has it and still won't boot. I have narrowed it down to just being the data archives not restoring properly because it will boot if I don't restore data at all, just that I have nothing on there for data. Is there a way I can restore without data, then restore the data while booted into CM10?

To be honest, I'm stumped about your situation. Because I'm not sure why your old back up is not restoring for you, even tho you change prl back. Cuz my remedy was basically to delete all my old cm10 back ups and start fresh with some new nandroids. And they all seem to be restoring well now that haven't changed the prl. But I know you want to try and salvage your old data. At this point, I'd try and email Team Win and tell them about your situation. They may be able to give you some more tips.
PS . I'm still waiting for a response from the email I sent a couple says ago.

By the way, I just threw my CM10 backup on my SD card to see if it would work and it's currently restoring so I'll let you know if it works. I'm just trying anything at this point!
EDIT: It's restoring archive 2 right now! That never happened before. This should be good. So anxious!
OMG IT WORKED! I'M SO HAPPY! drewmonge, put the backup on your SD card and restore and it will work!
It's the kernal. I had the same problem but just from switching between TW and ASOP roms. Flash a new kernal made for whatever type (asop or tw) you're trying to install and it'll work. Mine happened on a s4 though, but I bet same base problem.

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.

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.

If you havea back up restore it. It will fix it. The factory reset is what did it.

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,

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?

hi everyone. ok here's my problem, yesterday i installed acs ics 5.5 rom, then i nandroid restored the ei22 deodexed stock just to test the nandroid restore, just to see if it worked for me. i then again flashed back to the ics 5.5 rom, and this morning i nandroid back to ei22 again, because i wasn't happy of the non - 4g function.
anyways, later on today i decided to go into "my files" and delete 3 of the 4 nandroid backups that i had. because i believe the 3 that i deleted were bad. well after i did that, i started getting apps force closes, and now i can't open gtalk or my text message app.
if i do a factory reset, should that fix the problem? before i turn to odin and perform the whole process all over again?

Someeone just posted a similiar issue they associated with the8ir sd card.
They said after nand bkp they had fc's and no apps on sd showed. Wiping cache and dalvik would be pre factory default wipe imho.

Yes, a Factory data reset will clear the FCs. But you will lose 3rd party apps and anything you have set up will have to be set up again. If you have a nandroid you can trust you can do an advanced restore data to get those things back.

so does that mean that i have to go into recovery and repartition the sd card?
update - heres what it says on bootup - UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

None of that will touch your sd card. And you don't need to. The errors are in phone memory.

yes i did. i did a factory reset and wiped the cache partition and dalvik cache, and still nothing. somehow after i deleted the 3 nandroid backups, things got messed up. i kept getting errors of framework and gapps process issues. i don't know what could have caused it, but it wasn't pretty. at least i was able to get it fixed with odin.
question regarding this type of issue though, if i would have checked marked re-partion along with the reboot, what would happen? cuz i was really tempted to do so, but i didn't, given the fact that i didn't know exactly what would happen.
If you check repartition you need to include the PIT file which is the map of the partition for our phone. That will put your phones partition back to what it was when new.
ok, and where can i find the pit file? sorry again for the dumb question, but this is the part that is very new to me.

No problem, we are here to help. The PIT file should be packaged with Odin so when you unpacked it into a directory it should be there. Victoryxxxxx.PIT
ohh yea, i have that file. so that's what that file is for. ever since i got odin and started using it, i've bee wondering what that file was for. ok, so, in what type of circumstances can i use that file? like what happened to my phone yesterday? or what?
just so i have an idea of when i should use it.
When in doubt you can always use the PIT and repartition. F.reset resets all the clocks in the phone so there is no need to fear if you accidentally leave that checked.
I'm having the same issues here. Once I flash a rom, after a week or two I get this FCs but I notice this usually happens when I swap batteries or restart my phone. Once I flash a new rom or same rom everything works just fine until I have to swap or restart my phone.
What's causing this? Mine friend epic is having the same issue and he is getting tired of the phone to the point of putting it for sale. Is there a way to fix this?

You are not shutting down correctly causing bad data writes to your phone. Turn power off, after the vibration make sure keyboard lights are off before you pull battery. Also make sure you have journaling enabled.

I have used marcusant and sleeper rom at the moment, and they usually shut downs completely with the screen, but yes I make sure the light on the kb are shut. I don't know much about journaling, I guess I have to read about it.

Then it is strange that swapping batteries would cause any kind of data corruption. I believe those ROMs have journaling on by default. FCs are usually easy to fix. Most times it is a Google Services Framework error. This can be fixed using Titanium Backup and scrolling to Google Framework Services, select it and choose wipe data. Do that for any other app that FCs as well.

I'm on the people's rom with agat kernel and everything's fine I just powered off my phone a few minutes ago and went into clockwork mod to do a backup and as soon as I hit back up it'll go back to the main screen and say "Error backing up boot image" or along those lines. I rebooted and it turned on just fine so...
Any ideas?

Well, do you have enough space for a backup?

That
Also, does everything else backup properly? Or did you accidentally wipe before trying to back up?

No I didn't wipe anything I went straight to backup when I booted into clockwork, and I'm not sure, I was a little frantic when it said error backing up boot image I didn't get all the fine details, if need be I'll try it again I'm just a little worried lol.
And yes, I have gigs of space left lol.
Edit: I don't know what I did but I just successfully made a backup via clockwork mod.
I posted this messsge, rebooted into recovery and when I hit backup it started doing its thing as if nothing happened.
I don't know. If anything comes up I'll post it.
Sorry for the trouble guys, and thanks for the responses!

Hi.
I have no idea what's wrong. My backups usually restore easily with no problems. I have two backups currently. One made on the 11th and one made on the 15th. I've restored to the 11th many times before because I was testing out ROMs then. I decided I was satisfied with the one I already had, and kept it the way it was, restoring back to the 11th. I've used it since then, downloading apps and stuff. But today, I wanted to try another ROM. So I made the backup for the 15th. I didn't like the ROM i was testing out, so I TRIED to restore to the 15th. But, while restoring on CWM, it just stops, and my phone restarts. I thought it was just ONE bad restore. But I tried multiple times, and the same thing keeps happening. So I decided to restore to the 11th to see if it was just a bad backup, but same thing happens when I try to restore. Please help! I've searched the forums and googled it before posting. But I haven't found any threads with this specific problem. Thanks a lot!
Try clean installing the ROM of the backed up ROM, and then restoring backup.

By clean installing you mean reflashing cm 10.1 and gapps right?

Yes. The original ROM of which you took backup.

Okay. I tried it. Flashed the original ROM and gapps that I started with. Still the same thing. But, I tried starting from scratch, making a backup of that, and restoring it to see if it was still a problem. But the brand new backup works now, but the others still don't. It seems as if it always restarts when restoring a specific data.
Looks like some data got messed up. Sorry, this is as far as I can think of.

What version of cwm are you on?

I'm currently using 6.0.3.1. I made the backups using the touch version and tried restoring on touch as well. But I reverted back to this and tried restoring but it didn't work either.
