I installed the jb update and everything is working so far. I wasn't thinking and I went to goo manager and tried to reboot to recovery. An error popped up and I shut off the phone then rebooted it and everything is fine. I originally installed jb with twrp so I never thought that I lost it but being locked now is there a way to create a backup like a nandroid? That was my intention when I first tried to goto twrp.

Hi guys,
So I was previous rooted running a custom ICS rom, with ktoonsez, etc. Tonight I wanted to try out JB, so I saved a backup in CWM and then installed a Jellybean stock rom for my carrier with "root injected", All of this worked totally fine in Odin. Afterwards I used Odin to re-install CWM, and that worked fine, I then rebooted into CWM to install the 4.2 Camera/Gallery zip, THAT worked totally fine.
I've since rebooted my device and it seems that root permissions has totally disappeared. The 4.2 camera is still there, I can't get into CWM, Superuser is still on my device BUT it has no apps listed. And Titanium Backup and SetCPU cannot detect root.
Any ideas how to restore this? Kind of surprised that it would just....disappear even after installing CWM and 4.2 camera zip.
So, I've been using TWRP since I purchased this device. I did a TWRP backup today as usual since I wanted to flash back to TouchWiz to update my PRL. I did so, then went to restore my backup. Only part of the backup restored. Now, no matter what I do in TWRP, I get the same error:
E error opening 'data/data/com.newegg.app/share (there's more text here but it's truncated by the recovery)
E error: Not a directory
This happens when I try to wipe (any option), flash a ROM, create a backup, restore a backup, etc. I've updated from TWRP 2.5 to 2.6.3, still to no avail. I don't believe it's a recovery issue. Recoveries don't just stop working, especially after using Odin to write a new recovery partition.
My ROM is screwed up. It boots, but no apps open. The hardware keys don't work (except home).
Any ideas or suggestions? I don't really want to switch to CWM but will if absolutely necessary.
Thanks!
I would suggest doing an ODIN back to Stock. Make sure everything is working correctly. Then Root the Device again.
I did something similar. I used a flash to stock and reset counter .zip that worked. It still threw that newegg error, but once I rebooted, reinstalled twrp, rooted, flashed Slim 4.3 Stable 2 and did another nandroid, the weird error is now gone. So glad I didn't ruin my phone! Thanks!
Your welcome. Happy you got the issue resolved .

This is done on a phone that was updated to 4.3 OTA from AT&T.
I followed the instructions and installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and SuperSU and Knox Remover. I verified that the phone was rooted using root checker. I proceeded to do a Factory Reset, and Wiped the System and started running the Install on the Gummy 4.4 ROM i had saved to the phone's /sdcard. However, it fails. I try to install CM11 ROM from external SD Card and it fails.
What should I do now? TWRP had essentially erased the Android OS from my phone and the NANDROID backup recovery won't recover due to it being a backup of OTA 4.3! Should I try to reinstall a stock 4.3?
I had this issue too. I think it's something in the updater script that is in error.
I'm trying all sorts of ROMS to just get some OS on there now and everything fails to install thru the custom recovery. I think I might have to get another phone T_T

Are you sure you installed a d2att rom?
What are the errors you're getting? "It fails" isn't very clear.
This has been discussed MANY TIMES in many places.
In order to flash a 4.4+ ROM you need TWRP 2.6.3.1 OR the latest CWM.
I had PAC ROM decided it wasnt my thing so I went back to my stock rooted backup the LG system update notifcation popped up and like always went through with it. Now my phone wont boot past recovery. I already restored my stock backup again. any ideas?
Okay let me start by saying that I have 3 backups of my entire phone made through TWRP. Yesterday I was configuring some flashable ZIPs to install a simple app like SMSgo through recovery. I then installed the ZIP. It was successful but the app was nowhere to be found so I decided to restore a backup. I restored the newest one, when I booted I ran into some problems, I was stuck in a loop of lock screen and boot animation. I then searched the web for solutions. On some forums somebody suggested to wipe internal storage and flash boot.emmc.win from my backup through fastboot. I did so and when I booted my phone was factory fresh and okay. But I didn't have my numbers and sms so I restored a backup... BAD idea. My phone was optimizing apps as I booted, it failed near the end, System UI has stopped it said and then threw me on setup screen without on screen buttons. I tried to restore every single backup I had, the same story with everyone, the best result I got was that it optimized all aps and then crashed system UI.
I went on web and searched for TWRP backups that fit my CID HTC__032 and restored. As I'm typing this I'm running factory fresh 4.4.4 from backup and only OTA I can download is 70mb fix. I didn't update yet cuz I dont have stock recovery.
I am currently not rooted as this downloaded backup wasn't but all backups I made myself are rooted. I have also unlocked bootloader and S-ON running TWRP.
What should i do now? I want to get to stock (preferably get one of my backups working) so I will be able to receive OTAs
The downloaded back is for HTC__032cid, 3.28.401.6 version as it was one of few which had working download links.

Also worth mentioning that when I rooted before all this happened I had problems with crashing of TV app and I couldn't browse internal storage that I solved with:
adb shell
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Here's a stock recovery download.
Here's a stock rooted backup. I'm not sure if that's really what you are looking for though.
You could also try running the 4.16.401.10 RUU to update. That would clean up your phone so that you can start with a fresh slate. The RUU download is here.
After the RUU, you should be able to restore your nandroids. Probably after the OTAs as well.
As I'm typing this I have successfully flashed stock recovery and made an OTA update with my phone from 3.28.401.6 on 4.16.401.10, what concerns me is that I cannot access internal storage and TV app is crashing.
Same problem as my previous post:

Also I can't turn on WIFI after OTA so I'll try to run that RUU and report if the problem fixes itself. I don't really want to mess with root unless I have to.
EDIT: RUU fails with error code 155: UNKNOWN ERROR, shall I just do what used to work before? or you have other ideas?
Edit2: Did a factory reset and all problems are gone. Just obe more thing, the mobile signal seems weak, is it possible that my radio got messed up? Can I restore radio from one of my backups ?
