Instead of dual boot - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys
I really want to be able to time more than one ROM on my note 2.
I searched for a mod but couldn't find.
What if I make a backup to my PAC ROM and factory reset it and then install Samsung based ROM. then back it up too. Would I be able to switch between them with the restore option in cwm? With no problems whatsoever?

How much time does it take to restore a ROM?
What if the kernel installed is not supporting both ROMs?

On my note 2 it takes about 4-8 minutes to restore between roms. Nandroid has been my dual boot since hero days

You can backup kernel as well with twrp.

Yea you can backup and restore using TWRP..
Backing up can take like 900 seconds..
Restoring takes like 100 seconds I think..
There should be no problem, there might be some problems but very minor..
I use that to switch between omega ROM v15 (best samsung rom, my opinion) and jellybam 7.1 (best 4.2.2 ROM, my opinion)
Always use TWRP, I don't like CWM..

Why not just go back to stock and wipe everything

You're obviously using a custom recovery. Just restore the backup you made before all this flashing.

I would just backup everything using your own recovery then flashing the stock firmware again and restoring your apps from the backup or if you want google now this rom has it working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836108
Use titanium back up to back up your apps. If on CWM 5.xx, use darkside super wipe, reflash stock rom or a any custom t989 rom. If help needed with flashing, explore the dev section for more info.

Do a factory reset. Just back up your apps before you do it.

Help w/ random reboots

Hi all
I can't seem to figure this out
I passed down my gnex to the wife as I got a n4
Now when i had it there were no issues of random reboots
I have cm10 nightly loaded on it with the cm kernel and its getting random reboots
I cannot find out what it is... I have tried different kernels and still the same issue... I have tried diff ROMs. I tried fitsnugly cm10 and same issue,,.
Anyone have any ideas as to what I can do... I've tried everything I can think of
Its random as in it happens sometimes when she is browsing or it will jut be sitting on on the table and then reboot without anyone touching it...
Ugh. Help

I would put the last stable release on there, unless u don't mind working on her phone..
Do u format system in recovery when u install and new ROM?
Or maybe install ur nandroid backup and c if that works

Yup
I did a full wipe in recovery before giving it to her.
Actually what had happened is I wiped everything including SD card and it wouldn't boot so i restored to stock via Odin and toolkit. Then started from scratch. Installed fitsnugly ROM etc

Try a different ROM away from cm. Like aokp or paranoid and see if u have the same issues on those.

A full wipe doesn't format system.. U need to go into where u can mount the partitions and format the system partition.. Its worth a shot.. And I'd do a nandroid restore and leave it stock, from my experience my wifey doesn't know how to use any of the extra mods that come with the ROMs anyways, and its just a disaster waiting to happen... But that's just me

What kernel u running?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Well wouldn't restoring stock with Odin wipe literally everything? Including partition?
And the current ROM and kernel is stock cm10.1
So whatever the latest nightly is.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk HD
Not sure if it does.. I don't use Odin.. If u do a nandroid restore and see if its still doing random reboots ull know if its a hw problem or ROM/kernel

I'll give that a try if she gets more reboots.

Cant restore my backup cwm files

Hey guys i have a problem for 3 weeks now and would love some pro advice.I glashed a slim bean 4.2.2 v6 around 3.5 weeks back and used it for some week and then wanted to change my rom to stock touchwiz just by restoring but it didnt as after installing almost all apps it said failed /data.
Now after that i tried to install moon rom but it didnt flash properly and in middle of flashing i went into cwm mode and by mistake instead of restoring backed up that rom.
Then after i installed hawkish rom and then omega rom v17 and in all roms i cleaned cache and dalvik and did a full wipe but still cant restore hawkish,omega or any other rom except slim bean.
Now iam not sure what is wrong but feel something coz of slim rom?
Any advice for me on how can i get this problem sorted.
Thanks guys for help.

When I restore my image the one that I backed up on CM recovery, my Samsung s4 reboots and turn on without no problem but when I put in my pin gapps pops up saying "unfortunately gapps have stop" and I click ok but it keeps poping up.
Please I need help

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
Sent from my Nexus 5
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

I will try to flash newer Gapps, if doesn't work I going wipe then restore

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
