So I have a rooted N7105 (ALIJ) running the latest Perseus Kernel, and I decided to flash Android Revolution HD 6.0 to see if it would work (using CWM Recovery). I took a NANDROID beforehand and then used the Super Wipe as directed, but then when I tried to flash the ROM it got stuck on the menu, I couldn't do anything, so I decided to try and restore my NANDROID and give up on the ROM, but when I do, I get stuck on the bootup logo...
When I restore the NANDROID, it checks the MD5 sum, erases the boot before restoring, and then says 'restoring boot image', then goes back to the menu with no indication of whether it's done or not. I literally left it overnight to make sure that it wasn't still restoring when I rebooted, and tried a factory wipe before I restored it, but no dice... any ideas? Thanks in advance...
May be bad nandroid?...or corrupted sd card. ...... try mskip tool to flash it or try stock firmware using pc odin

I just managed to nearly brick my buddy's Droid X, and I just wanted to see if there was an easier way to do what I had to go through.
Going from Liberty 2.0 to DarkSlide, did a nandroid backup, wiped data, cache, dalvik, the usual... But, darkslide didn't install right for some reason, and it hung on the bootlogo. After waiting 15 minutes, I finally pulled the battery, expecting Clockwork to come up, and I could restore. Instead, I had the normal recovery, with the four options to wipe data, wipe cache, install update.zip, or reboot.
Now, besides the point that I just had to sieve through several update.zip's, including a bad md5 sum or two, running RSD Lite and loading a stock Rom and re-rooting. This was my first time ever going through all this crazy process... I'm just wondering:
If a ROM goes wrong in installing, is there a way to avoid all the insanity I just went through, or am I running the risk of going through all that every time I flash a new ROM?
Haha same here. I almost bricked my phone but o was able to restore it with the original RUU to downgrade and reset to factory settings. By doing that I just had a spare sd card to format and re-rooted. Once that was done ROM Manager did the rest with restoring my last backed up working ROM on my original sd card.
Its hard to come by one click rooting tools.

How would I go about that?
hmm If you would flash Clockwork into recovery section of you phone and not using Rom Manager to boot into update.zip (ClockWork), you woudln't have such problems
Everytime I do a update and it fails it still boots into the Bootloader and my beloved ClockWork Mod v3 with the ability to flash another CustomRom with works.

Been using the Alpha version of CM7 for the t989 for over 2 weeks now. Seems like when I rebooted it today it managed to corrupt the data partition.
Symptoms:
-Normal starts loop just after the kernel screen.
-CWM boots and works
-ODIN boots.
-CWM crashes when doing factory reset or restoring the data partition of a backup or formatting the data partition
This happened to me 2 days after installing CM7, the same version I'm still using. I was similarly stuck, but then I tried restoring my nandroid backup and eventually I could re-apply the CM7 zip and the phone started fine to a blank android.
Is there a way to solve this issue with my partitions? I am not too comfortable with re-partitioning it because I'm awake this can damage the boot sectors and brick it quickly if I don't do it just right.
Advice?
Just flash this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391174 from Odin, reflash cwm, cm7, and you are done. I have done this thrice.

did it work???
Thank you
I'm so glad I found this thread, I thought my phone may be unreparable. I was experiencing exactly the same symptoms as the OP on my skyrocket and had considered using ODIN to restore to stock, but I thought the corrupted data partition could cause it to crash during the restore and hard brick the phone.
The restore was successful, but it boot looped for some reason. I then followed the ODIN root method to flash CWM recovery, flashed CM7 from there, booted and used the ROM Manager app to apply a recent backup. All is well.
Allow me to preface this by stating my credentials. I've been rooted and have flashed most every ROM created since day one. I'm no stranger to the processes involved.
Just recently, this started happening. If I create a nandroid backup, then try to restore it, the boot animation just goes forever. It doesn't boot loop, it just keeps going.
This has happened with both CWM3 and CWM5, when trying to restore ICS backups. I've tried flashing the VR Superwipe with no luck either. I've also tried Fixing Permissions.
Has anyone had similar situations that could offer a solution?
Only ICS backups? Did you install a different hboot?
Well I've only tried it with ICS cause I've been running them since January.
I'm using Hboot .92
I personally haven't run into issues with restoring ICS backups using CWM 3.0.0.8. I've done the same process for GB and ICS restore, which is:
1) boot into recovery
2) backup rom
3) flash a new rom then realize I need to restore for some reason
4) boot into recovery then wipe data, format boot, & format system
5) restore and enjoy
I've done this on ICS roms AOKP and CM9 with no issues. I'm not sure how to find a fix if you have used CWM 3 and CWM 5 unsuccessfully.
If you've used the same hboot the whole time that can't be the problem. Try reflashing recovery with ROM Manager and use the "erase recovery before flashing" option.
hello, ive ben flashing for a while now, i dont know what i did wrong this time but all my rom files are gone, and the latest rom i flashed got stuck at the bootlogo and wouldnt move from there, so i tried to reflash again, but now that rom file is gone somehow.....so i tried to restore, but it says error when it comes to /data, and quits. im still in CWM, thinking if i reboot itll brick, someone please help...
btw, i think it restore boot and system, it stopped after it said "restoring data...error while restoring /data!"
will boot and system be enough to atleast boot into the rom?
Get rid of cwm and use twrp. Problem solved
Sent from the scary door....
im stuck in cwm tho, i dont know what happened to all the rom zips, and my restores wont work...
so i did advanced restore, did restore boot image, and restore system...will that be enough to boot the phone? or will it brick?...
I've got the intergalactic ROM installed on my S3 and I've had it for a while. I want to change ROMs but every time I flash a new one it flashes fine but when the phone boots up it tells me the setup wizard failed and a bunch of other stuff stopped working. any ideas on what it could be?
I'm using CWM.
Also if I just wanted to wipe everything on my phone and go back to stock so that I can re root it and try flashing roms then how would I do that?
You probably just need to factory reset. If you wanted to go back to stock rooted, flash the root66 firmware via odin then boot recovery and factory reset. Note that factory reset from stock recovery will wipe internal sd. From cwm/twrp it will leave internal sd alone unless you "format data".
