I have Clockwordmod Recovery installed on my GSII (T989). If I do a full backup, and then flash a custom ROM/Kernel...can I just do a complete full restore if I don't like it (from the backup I made)?
Thanks!
Well there is no cyanogen recovery so that's probably why no one is replying fyi.

So I don't have to worry about losing anything? Once I restore, it will be like I never changed anything? (Almost like an image backup of a computer)?

No i wouldnt suggest doing that when u make a back up in cwm you making a backup of that rom! If your worried about your data use either
Titanium backup or
MyBackup Pro

umm...I thought CWM recovery backed up everything...including data (excluding microSD card).
So, if I restore it, it restores the original Kernel and ROM? Is that correct?
If something goes wrong, while flashing new kernels/ROMS, I can boot into recovery and just restore?
I'm already rooted, I just want to be sure before I start messing with my device.
Thaks!

you are correct the Nandroid backup built into the CWM recovery will back up everything on your phone as it is. including any ext partition on your external SD card. (will not backup your FAT partition where your normal downloads and pictures go, as this is where the backups are stored) but your ROM, all apps and their data and anything on your EXT partition (if you have one) will be backed up.
i suggest copying the clockworkmod backup folder to your computer before flashing anything else. just in case it messes up your SD card somehow.
doing the full restore will automatically restore ROM apps and data as they were when you backed up. feel free to flash as many roms as you want, just make sure to keep your backup safe. and to wipe all data in between roms as usual.
although titanium backup is amazing. and will backup apps and their data while booted inside your rom. its amazing, check it out.
Cwm backs up everthing including rom, kernel, and data. When you restore your backup it will restore your phone the way it was the moment that you backed it up.

I have TB Pro...are you saying it will back all of my apps/data up, and I can just restore it from within my new ROM?
Correct. Just use caution when trying to restore system apps.
Good.Luck!

Dude don't sorry so much!!! Super Noob!!! JK! Well not really you are never going to want stock again...just carefully flash your desired ROM.. use TB to restore all of your apps and their data. Do a nandroid back up of your current rom then one of your favorite roms after you set it up to you liking.

The problem is I can't restore my Nandroid backups as they fail every time the custom recovery reaches /data. I have tried every custom recovery for the T-Mobile Galaxy S4. I'm no noob when it comes to android, I have done my research and haven't found any solutions. I flash a lot of custom roms and not having a Nandroid backup to go back to is a big pain. This is my first time I've posted on XDA and I really need some help.
You have to odin back to stock and reroot only way it worked for me, kept getting into bootloops when going back to nandroid

Can't say I've had any issues with nandroid restores (just backed up and flashed, knocking on wood...) do you have sufficient space in your internal storage? Others have report, and I've seen, internal storage filling up from backups that are 'hidden away' by CWM but don't get deleted by a data wipe.

I have my backups stored on my External SDCard, I don't think that space is an issue. Also, I odin'd back to stock, re-rooted and all that and I'm still getting the same error.
I feel your pain, but doing odin is a pain in the a$$, have you tried any other recovery yet? That way you can see if it is a recovery issue, do a backup and then a restore to see, maybe even rolling back a version or 2, I would try these, before I go thru all that again.
The Ax says, just trying to help here. Good luck.
Sorry didn't see your last reply, must have happen when I was replying, wow today's technology.
Ive once moved a nandroid to my ext-sdcard and when i tried restoring it wouldnt work, try installing a nandroid from ur internal sd instead

Your microSD card might be defective. As uncivilized suggested try the restore from internal SD. That should work.
So I just backed-up to the internal SD-Card then Restored from the Internal SD-Card and it failed again.:crying:

Right now I am running Philz Touch 5 (a variation of cwm touch) but even when I had TWRP I had the same error when restoring
I just flashed TWRP 2.6.0.0 with Odin and I am currently backing up and then I will restore it to see if I get the error.
It failed in the exact same way.

Im using twrp v 2.5.0.3 but im not seeing it in their website. Try using an earlier version than 2.6.0.0 , I would format internal sd card flash a rom from your ext-sd card then use odin to flash an earlier version of twrp.tar
I have followed all of your steps exactly except for I flashed 2.5.2.0 instead of 2.5.3.0 and it still failed, this is pretty frustrating but thanks for the help.:crying:

2.5.0.3 was removed, alot of people had problems with it, just like alot of people are having problems with 2.6.0.0. some people reporting that 2.6.0.0 is working fine.
2.5.02 is your best bet, if 2.6.0.0 does not work,
Very weird , when ever ur backing up what boxes are checked to proceed with back up (boot.img, cache etc)

I check boot, data, system
Any other suggestions guys?
For some odd reason, when I tried to make a nandroid backup yesterday, TWRP was only able to backup the boot and the system and when it tries to backup the data part, it will show up a big red "FAIL" at the top.
I've had success in restoring and backing up nandroids before with this version of TWRP, but for some reason...it just wouldn't let me go through with the backup now. The only thing that changed between the time when nandroid backups were no problem and now is that I flashed one of the compatible boot animation for the GoldenEye ROM. I doubt it...but could that be the problem?
I also delete previous nandroid backups to make room for the new ones...just trying to give as much information as I can hahaha
Thanks in advance!
I'd try clockwork.

Can you be more clear please?
There could be error restoring if both roms are different. Eg: JB and KK

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.

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.
I've searched but found nothing so I figured I ask you guys for the final answer. Does the Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (T700) have CWM? Preferably PhilzTouch version?

You asked if T700 has CWM and get a link for TWRP??? But no, as far as I know, only TWRP.

That sucks. I prefer CWM, but I was actually asking because for some reason TWRP wasn't making any backups. It went through the actions but when I tried to restore there were no backups to restore. I ended up flashing it again and it started creating the backups so all is well now.

You probably just needed to select the location you made the backups. Micro sd or internal sd card.
