He helped truth77 with the framwork-res while developing his ROM. Just passed his thread a moment ago and read it.
Thanks Dafoxs!

Basically was doing a restore after a full wipe. I noticed the restore went allot faster then normal. I figured it was because the new twrp update speeded it up some how. I didn't get a failed message. Umm, no. It was a bad backup. I went to hit restore again and instead did a reboot. The phone was stuck on the Samsung white screen. With wish and truth helping, we got the phone into download mode and using Odin flashed the cwm recovery tar file. Then got the the phone into recovery and flashed a ROM I had on my card.
Moral of the story. If it doesn't seem right dont follow through with it and always keep a working ROM zip on your card. It was totally my fault.
Just noticed, that restore was only 506mb. I ran out of space.

Let me start be saying be very carefully using the new twrp. I have tons of space now. Just tried to do a backup. It finished in 0 seconds, no fail message. I think I know what I'm doing and that is broke.

Wahooo..lol :sly:

I've had no problem with backups on mine. Matter of fact I've restored it once and it worked perfect.

i have restored backups back to back to back using twrp and have had no issues, even just restoring data it works fine.
glad you got it back up and running though.

Its been fixed, no worries.
FYI. In the new version you have to choose what you want backed up. Make real sure you check the boxes in the name screen.
Full wipe + no check marks = a real bad day

Hey man I had the same issue as you. I even lost root for some reason. I fixed it by using his super wipe script. Then flashing the rom then radio and literally not touching it for like five minutes after it boots up. Once I got signal I then rebooted and was good from there.

Recovering Images

Hey XDA! I need some help. I am trying to recover 3 Images that I really need. I backed up using clockworkmod backup, before I installed Darkside ICS. Is it possible to get those images from the nandroid backup?

Clockwork vs twrp

Hey so tell us what recovery you like and don't like and why?
I was using twrp but stopped because it screwed up my phone and was having problems flashing some Roms. I just don't think it does a clean wipe just works to fast..... So far clockwork cleans ,wipes more securely and have no problems flashing Roms...

I see this thread getting out of hand and going south quickly. I'm gonna request a mod step in and make a bold suggestion to people on how to keep it clean and not go south. Also make a poll for the thread, makes it look better and more official..
I prefer TWRP, I've been on it since I got the S III (May of '12). I test roms for 3 devs on this phone, and never had an issue. I used to use CWM on previous phones and never had issues there either. I just prefer TWRPs UI.

The Rules to posting here are :

You all do that ... this thread will be a good thread...... if not...... it gets closed.
Thanks ~~~ oka1
I should of posted this with the post I started...
The Rom that gave me problems with twrp was darthstalker but was able to flash with clockwork... Maybe it was something I did wrong.... Don't know.

Both are great choice is yours.
As said all phone are not same so sometimes depends on your devices.

I've used both and like both, settled on twrp mainly because I find it a little easier to use. CWM looks nicer IMO. I dont' think you can go wrong with either.
I prefer TWRP but with the 4.2+ ROMs I flashed that have the 0 file I have to use CWM.
I'm sure there's something I can do to fix this but I've tried via Google search and have only has luck with CWM. So here I am.

I'm confused. Does cwm not give you the emulated /0 file structure?

Yes. No clue what he's talking about.
I've not been able to find my recoveries in twrp whenever I flash an aosp ROM .
so I have to use cwm.

I have used both, they both seem to work perfectly. I just prefer cwm

I use twrp because you can name your back up files. That's probably the only reason I use it. It's UI is more friendly because of the buttons and I'm pretty sure you can theme it now, but I haven't tried that feature yet

Yes, that had happened to me multiple times as well, restoring of backups failing. For that reason I stick to CWM for now. Otherwise IMO TWRP is superior.

I do not backup and restore very often, but twice I have made a backup and restored because I was testing a ROM...but both backups failed and left me to clean flash my ROM again.

Phone very laggy?

I'm currently running the note s4 rom. My phone will randomly lock up and get terribly laggy. I was on the newest stock ota and decided to flash the note s4 rom. The phone still acted like this on the stock rom also. I've still got lag and freezing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't you think this belongs in your roms thread. Rather than in question forum. Go over there and talk about your problems WITH THE ROM YOU'RE USING.

If you read his post he says it happens on stock as well. So before Flaming someone maybe at least know what's going on.
Op, is there something that makes it happen? Specific apps, something like that?

Try to do a clean wipe and clean install again. It might help with it being laggy. I usually do a full wipe and clean install every 2 months, even when using the same rom, That's just me.
POWERED by the MASTER!
Ive tried odining back to complete stock and wiping everything and then flashing the rom. It seems to do it at random. A reboot seems to fix the issue for a few hours. It's only done it once or twice so far today.

No it seems to do it at complete random. I normally dont keep that many apps open at one time on my phone.
