I recently switched from a Samsung phone to the HTC One V, rooted it, and installed a CM 10.1 rom. I created a nandroid backup in TWRP of my stock rom but after I tried restoring that backup the phone boots up past the Virgin Mobile logo but stays on the white HTC screen and never goes past that. It just freezes there. My only solution is flashing back to stock which I've tried but when I try flashing a Rom again I still can't restore my backup when something goes wrong. I've tried numerous times but I get the same result every time. This is my first HTC phone so I must know, did I do something wrong? Is there a different process on HTC phones when restoring nandroid backups? Someone please help me out.

Process is right.... But u have to flash the kernel in fastboot again....
Thank you but I've already tried flashing the stock boot.img file via fastboot after restoring my backup but I still get the same result when trying to boot up the phone. Is there anything else I can possibly do to fix this issue?

I got a new white T-Mobile GS3 last night, to replace a blue one i had that was having bluetooth problems. Once I rooted the new one I restored a nandroid I had made before returning the first one. For several hours the phone worked just fine, until it froze up, leaving my only choice to pull the battery. When I started it up again, it just looped from the Samsung logo to the Galaxy S III logo. I tried to restore the nandroid again, but it said something about incorrect MD5 sums. When that didn't work I tried flashing back to stock through ODIN. It says everything passes, but when it reboots it just continues to loop through the two screens.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
I would recommend you flash the stock boot and recovery > re-root. Though as a general I wouldn't flash a backup, even if from a similar device, ans things of your nature can happen.
I tried to flash the stock boot and recovery through ODIN, but it still wouldn't boot up. Is there a better way I can flash stock?
Did you try clearing all data and formatting system from recovery?

You shouldnt of recovered your old nandroid on a different device, maybe the data partition but not the full nandroid.
Was this theStock Odin tar you flashed?

Yes, that was the file I flashed
Any other suggestions? I'm really screwed. I can't even use my old phone because of this micro sim card.
Have you tried reflashing the stock Odin tar again?

Yeah. I've reflashed (as well as downloaded fresh copies), several times. Same results.

What recovery are you using? Update your recovery through fastboot to cwm 6.0.1.0 or twrp 2.2.0.

Thiis morning I did a back up, I do this regular, when it finished I went to reboot but its stuck on the HTC logo, I've got latest or droid ROM with latest h boot. Likke I say it won't boot but also it it won't restore any other back up, which is of same ROM and with same boot. Any ideas
Reflash the boot.img, and did you wipe everything before restoring the nandroid. Also works for people

Why won't "it" restore a backup? Is there an error message? What is "it"?
Not sure y it happened, was working perfectly before, its not as if I did anything apart from a back up,
But does it work now ?

It works now, I had to search my pc for a Bach up I did back in November, good job I keep a boot image with my back ups. Bit the time was miles out, when I went to change time in settings it was seer to India, funny as its always been set to network operated set up. Changed that then re installed latest ordroid, setms fine just a little slow on 3g and WiFi while using the net, would like to know why all thus happened as I dud nothing I don't unusually
Really seems like you didn't reflash the boot.img after restoring the backup. You need to flash the corresponding boot.img otherwise it'll be stuck at the HTC logo. The boot.img is backed up along with the rest of the ROM, so you don't have to take care to preserve the boot.img if you just copy the backup folder. It'll already be there.

Ok, I've tried several different roms and I always back up. I've used Oudhs, Clocworkmod and TWRP. No matter which one I back up with I never have any luck on restore. They all seem to restore ok but I get stuck in boot loops everytime. Factory reset doesn't help. Wiping caches don't help. This is just beginning to really drive me nuts. I don't really mind having to reinstall everything but jeez I just wish I knew what the deal was. I never had trouble on my Motorola Defy or my Galaxy S2 but I sure can't seem to get anywhere on the S4
It happens sometimes to me. When I get stuck after restoring nandroid, I get back into recovery and reflash the kernel and it boots the device. I am using philz recovery and its been working great.

Never used philz and never thought of just reflashing the kernel. I may try that though. Now to find the kernel. I should mention that I end up using Odin to reflash stock. Then I root and then custom recovery. That boots fine and for the most part all I'm ever doing is trying to restore a 4.4 rom I backed up.
Flashing a kernel worked. lol my phone doesn't think it's the stock kernel but it booted at least.
I do find this interesting. I would think when you restore a nandroid backup that it would restore the kernel that was with the rom you are restoring. I guess this isn't the case?
Using the latest clockwork has always worked for me.

I've had Rom Manager Premium since my Defy days. I'm a firm believer in it. I was just surprised I would have to reflash a kernel after restoring a rom.

I use OUDHs Touch recovery v1.0.3.3 in conjunction with Rom Manager and I have NEVER had that problem. Also, when I use Rom Manager to "Back Up Current Rom" I can NAME the backup file, and it goes into the recovery and uses the filename I have already typed in and it's a seamless operation. Even using restore via Rom Manager works seamlessly and it has NEVER balked on me.
The only time I had a problem was once using My Backup Pro and trying to do an on-line system backup. MMS, SMS, Call Log has always been absolutely perfect! No out of sequence messages, and all the pictures are restored correctly too!
Aloha and Good Luck!
BTW, I am on a Stock 4.2.2 with the latest M919UVUFNB4 (modem.bin) Flashed for the radio and it's reception qualities are better than it's ever been before!

we need more details. rom, recovery info?
I currently am running slimkat rom 4.4.2 on my note 2(tmo), when I flashed Perseus kernel on my phone I was using a regular debloated 4.3 rom but still went black. I have CWM, when I flashed everything was good(booting up never past the black screen) when I went to recover back to my fresh backup it starts off good but when I gets to recovering data it sits there for a few minutes and then it gives me an error "error recovering from backup". I wish I had more to say but I'm writing this from my phone

make sure you are on the latest version of CWM. I don't know if perseus is still supported. I would give agni or devil kernel a try. also flash your rom then boot it up. Then reboot back to recovery and flash the kernel
Thank you, I'll give it a try in a few
Edit: sorry it took a while to respond after flashing one of your suggested kernels; I flashed devils kernel and it worked great no black screens, absolutely no problem at all
