Long story short, I was running out of space and was thinking of deleting the backups from titanium backup but I think I accidently clicked Delete all user data and app.
Right now I can only access Download mode and CWM, whenever I tried to wipe install zip from sdcard it reboots, when I try to wipe data/factory reset it reboots, wipe cache partition it reboots, wipe davik it reboots help!!!
Lol. Flash stock with Odin

I don't see why odin shouldn't work
So your factory reset doesn't work?
Just dirty flashing a rom.
But really, odin should work at all times unless your phone's hard bricked
I found an old nandroid backup from when I first got my phone. Early when root, recovery etc came out. Flashed it once, it worked half way before reset, done it again and it worked.
Thank god!!!!!!! ALWAYS BACKUP KIDS, ALWAYS BACKUP!!
I tried to flash CWM through odin many times, CWM was still giving me trouble. It was wierd!
Dirty flash didn't work, it kept resetting.

First off sorry if this is answered in another post, lease kindly direct me to the post if it is =)
I just tried to install a second ROM from ROM Manager. I was running DCU and created a back-up in ClockworkMod before I started then installed the new Fresh ROM successfully. When I tried to go back to my first ROM via the restore point I set up it gets stuck in a boot loop. The 2nd restore point from the Fresh ROM loads up just fine.
Is there anyway to fix the older restore point and get back to DCU or should I just wipe everything and reinstall DCU...
Thanks in advanced!
do a data wipe, clear cache and dalvick
Then restore your backup. Clockwork does not seem to like certain roms.

thanks, i was able to wipe everything from the original android recovery mode and upload an old nandroid back up but from Clockwork it didnt seem to clear the dalvik cache, when i clicked clear it just went back to the last menu it never said anything in the log and when i loaded up the Clockwork backup it still didnt work :/
using CWM i wipe everything and then do a factory reset and it says complete and I try to flash different roms, (of course doing a factory reset between each one) but all of my data is there every time start it up. My gmail app has crashed on every rom and I can't get it to work even with my nandroid backup. ( all my installed apps are still there as well) what do I do to fix this so gmail will work again please?
I had problems with CWM also in that it was not wiping the phone properly. Installed TWRP and then no problems.

+1 Doc is right.
Go with TWRP.
Coming from the ground up
Well i wiped dalvik cache and cache only and now stuck on sasmung logo?? How much time davlik need for rebuilding or I need to restore all backup (waited 15min and nothing)? The all backup restore didnt work too...So factory reset is next right?
The factory reset worked but when restoreing backup its the same thing. Pls help where could be the problem in backup (system,boot,data...)

Really no idea, maybe some file corrupted.
You can use odin pc to install stock rom. After successfully reboot then root it and do restore again.
Good luck.

What do you want to restore? Did you already have Perseus kernel when you did the nandroid backup?
How did you made backup?
:*: Neebi :*:

Yes the persus kernel was instaled when i did nandroid, I used cwm backup to external card, tried to restore one by one but when restoring data i get stuck. I whant to restore everything, thats way I did backup before wipeing dalvik. So only left is flash stock root and try again?
Which error message do you have? Did you move or rename your backup?
Try to go to advanced settings and restore data only.
No error just stuck at boot logo, I tried every combination with system,boot,data restore but nothing, then I restored eariler backup without persus kernel in it and it worked (reverted back to stock kernel) then instaled persus again and its all fine now :good: Do you think there is some problem with backuping when persus kernel is installed?
I didnt now that factory reset with cwm doesnt erase sd internal so I have everthing back in place. Tnx everyone
Nice :good:
I know that we can have some issues when we try to restore a nandroid created from another kernel but nothing special but the Perseus kernel.
But AFAIK there is less problems with TWRP than CWM so it's possible that your problem is a recovery one and your custom kernel doesn't matter. Just try TWRP and let me know
EDIT
Factory reset only erases /data and /cache folders
I tried with TWRP and no problem with backup or restore :good: tnx
Hi,
I was frustrated with the delay in T-Mobile's release of KitKat for the GSIII, so I decided to root my phone last night in order to try flashing CM11 on it. Rooted my phone with Towelroot, installed ROM Manager and CWM, and created backups on Kies and through CWM. Then I proceeded to do data wipe/factory reset, cache wipe, and /system format. Tried to flash CM11, but got a status 7 error.
I freaked out, so I decided to restore everything from the backup I'd created. Restoration seemed like a success, but now I get the error "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" in an endless loop, and it prevents me and any apps from doing anything. I tried clearing dalvik cache in recovery, but the problem still persists. Read on a few threads that I should flash to stock firmware via Odin, but I'm currently on a macbook, so I can't install it.
tl;dr - Prepped to flash CM11, reached status 7 error, got freaked out, and did restore via CWM, only to get infinite loop of gapp crashes. No access to Odin or PC. Not hard bricked or soft bricked, but essentially useless phone. Help? );
if you can still get to recovery, download latest gapps and flash that
Did you factory reset before or after you restored your back up?
Yeah, I've tried flashing gapps--no avail.
And yeah, I did factory reset/data wipe, cache wipe, /system format 3x each before attempting to restore. Was that wrong? /:
Try to factory reset again

If I'm not mistaken, there is some device ID that will change each time you flash a new rom. It may be something to do with this ID not matching the one in the restored data. Purely a guess but seems logical to me.
Anyway, factory resetting will most likely solve this for you, but I wanted to add that except in certain circumstances, you shouldn't ever manually format /system. (and one format on any partition is sufficient. There shouldn't be any need to format multiple times). If you format /system, you are wiping the O/S off of your device. Then what happens if you have problems flashing a rom, or firmware? I've seen it happen many times and I often end up spending a couple of days working with them just to get the thing to boot up again!
When you flash a rom, the first thing it does is format /system. So there is just no need to do this manually. At least if the rom fails to flash (such as failing the assert checks), youll still have something to boot into. Hope this helps in the future!
I have had the exact same issue. I have a Samsung note 2 N7105. I rooted made a backup in CWM and flashed ditto n3/s5 rom made another backup in CWM. No issues. Got a bit cocky seen as it was my first time doing anything like that. My next adventure was to try a custom kernel (agni). This didn't go so well, so I tried to do a restorw to my working backup of ditto n3/s5 rom through CMW. restore went smoothly and the phone booted. once I opened the lock screen I got the gapps error as described. I had to do a factory reset to get the phone working and then re-flashed ditto n3/s3. I've since flashed other roms and when ever I try to do a restore, I get the issue described. Note I am using the latest CWM. I putting off flashing and trying any other ROMs because of this issue. I do love dn3/s5 but id love to try others. Anyone can help it would be appreciate.
I have a galaxy s3 SPH-L710 from Virgin mobile and have flashed a Cyanogen mod nightly(cm-11-20140916-SNAPSHOT-M10-d2lte.decryptedKLR_) by installing its zip after wiping data,cache through CWM recovery i had no connection whatsoever so I restored my backup and gave it another try to no avail. I have tried this several times with different Roms but I have had the same problem. Now I am unable to restore my backup, and my system file now has very little space left in it. I assume I'm doing something wrong in my flashing, and need delete some of my previous flashes, but i don't know either of these, any hep would be wonderful, I'm at the end of my patience and am nearly ready to just scrap it.
Thank you for anything you can do
Instead of restoring from a backup, have you tried to do a full restore from a full wipe tar?
If you know how to use Odin, download this HERE and update PRL and Profile

Not sure if cwm can do this (I use twrp), but every time I flash a new ROM I wipe system, cache, and data, not just data and cache.
