Cannot restore back up trwp / bootloops - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I have never had a problem restoring anything, I just backed up a new task ROM, I also backed up a new illusion ROM. I will go to restore from backup and it just boot loops on either 1. Anything prior to these latest releases and backups will restore but 2 separate ROM's with the latest releases will not restore from backup they both stay in boot loop. Totally clueless, I have formatted wiped you name it it will only restore a backup from a ROM o backup on Jan 4th. Only happening newer released backed up ROMs.

Try flashing a different kernel.

Did you change from clockwork mod to Team Win recovery, or visa versa? The two aren't compatible and might cause that.

No same as I always do...I flashed ktoonez kernel 1.10

It really sucks, I restored a back up from 1/4 just fine, but as soon as I download and install the latest update to that Rom day illusion, and save it as a new back up, no go on restore

Nand backup won't create MD checksum

I can'tcreate a single nandroid backup, nor restore old ones when gear shifting my roms and room manager always fails to create a backup, it's tragic.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Are you booting into recovery, or using ROM Manager? I've had issues in the past w/ ROM Manager actually creating a backup, but if I reboot into cwm and start a backup, it works fine.
As for restoring prev. nandroids, are you changing the name of the file/folder of your backup? From what I've heard, it cannot have any spaces between characters, make sure it's a . or - or something.
Hope that helps!
I've tried using cwm and ROM manager and none of them work, I'm wondering if I should use my internal SD.

If that doesn't work, you can try reflashing cwm through Odin
I'll give it a whirl.

[q] nandroid backup question!

okay, so If i make a nandroid backup I know what things it saves.
I just wanted to make sure, when it restores applications, does it restore the downloaded ones from the android store? like temple run and such?
ALSO when i perform a restore, Does it automatically flash the old rom with data or must I first flash the rom of the backup and then preform the restore?
THANKS
It restores your phone to the exact same way it was when you made the backup. All you have to do is reboot after restoring and it will be exactly the same as before the backup.

Since when does CWM not restore kernel? Lol. If it didn't restore the kernel, going from TW to AOSP (or vice versa) wouldn't boot

Ive tried several different Roms and, they all freeze.. at random times, then I have to shut the phone down and then back on. Is this normal? I'm on the latest Carbon Rom

I've noticed you like CWM for your recovery.
Try installing TWRP and see if that helps. Our phone seems to prefer TWRP.

I'm afraid too lol, last time I used freegee, it bricked my phone. And I'm more used too CWM. Ive had several Roms installed, it makes no sence why it would start doing this randomly.

You probably need to use the sbl unlock in FreeGee's menu. Or teeny bins with LGNPST.
Maybe CWM isn't wiping things correctly. There's flashable zips for TWRP and CWMv so that makes it easy.

Its pretty simple we didn't have CWM for our phones for a long time for a reason. TWRP is much more current and supports our phones.

Cwm is infamous for not wiping everything correctly. Twrp is built off the amon ra recovery which is a lot better at wiping than cwm is

Mhmm that's weird I'm running newest carbon and its flawless!. Maybe change recovery's?

He's not alone. PAC and Cyanogenmod have been freezing up on me for at least a month. I use TWRP. It locks up when I type most often and then quits my message and I lose it all. Im resetting to stock and back today.
ughh

So when you install roms, are you wiping /system, /data, /cache, and / dalvic?
If you're using TWRP 2.6.3.0, go to wipe, factory reset, then advanced and tick everything but internal storage. Then install a rom.
If you're still having issues, then in TWRP, wipe everything. Including internal storage. Make sure you backup your files. You will lose everything. Also make sure you have a rom to install or restore in TWRP. If you don't, you'll learn to adb sideload.
If this doesnt work, then LGNPST, or LGFlashTool.

Flashing a backup question

Hey, I just flashed AOSP KitKat but when I boot into twrp, my backups are gone. When I boot into the rom, they're there when I check my file browser. I had a backup backed up to my laptop and just put it in the root of my storage. Can I just flash it like I would a custom rom through the "Install" menu? Or will that mess something up?

Never mind, got em back. Just flashed back to Optimus and decided to wait for a stable kitkat rom

Are you restoring old data from and old rom install to a new rom install?
If so, you can't do that. Use titanium backup or helium for backing up your apps and data

It happens to me as well in my note 2 with cwm. I installed twrp instead. I haven't tried the restore yet though. Titanium backup was the best option for me

No I was runing cm11 and I wanted to go back to stock android so I did a nandriod backup before I flash anything. Now running cm11 i reboot into Cwm recovery and restore my backup image on my s4 which was TouchWiz 4.4.2 and when it reboot on, I unlock the phone and the pop-up keep showing up like every 5 second. So I can't do nothing because of this pop-ups

You cant restore your TouchWiz data partition to a cm rom
Sent from my Nexus 5
OK but I mean the nandriod backup is a image of my phone like how it was when I first root it, so if my phone go brick I can boot into recovery and restore my phone back to how it was before. So now I trying to restore my phone back to how it was before because I don't want to use cm11 until it is stable.

So let me get this straight.
You are using a device not officially supported by the Paranoid Android team, post in the Paranoid Android forum section, to get help going back to stock from cm11?
You realize that there is an entire section of the forums dedicated to your device?

You can get immediate help by going to your device forum and reading or asking there.
The PA team only officially supports Nexus and oppo devices. We can't help you with your s4
