Hello, I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S3. I made a backup today before updating and I also reformated and wiped my phone completely. I tried restoring from Carbon (from internal and sd memory, I copied off of the computer) and at first from the SD card it worked, then it stopped. It didn't work anymore. It just got stuck at restoring. I uninstalled the app, cleared cache, restarted, even recopied all the data again. The data that previously had copied, stopped when I tried to restore again. It just gets stuck at restoring. Then if I leave it it says that it had sent a log to the developer. What can I do? I want to restore my data :-\. I'm not rooted. Just using stock Android latest build from DBT.
Any ideas? Please! I can't figure this one out :-\.
Thanks in advance.

I've made numerous backups and I can't not get any to ever restore. I wipe 3x and also wipe Dalvik and the restore says checking MD5 for a while then it looks like it's restoring but it finishes pretty quick like around 2min after I start it. Then it never gets past the HTC white screen. Have to battery pull and install from zip which has me redoing everything again.
Any ideas? Never had this issue on my OG D1. I've even reinstalled CWM recovery with no dice.
If you used the SD card from the og Droid try the one from the Inc or tomato the old. Ibhad the same problem coming from my old droid

I'm using the 16 gb card that came with the inc2. I just reformated it on my computer after letting cwm partition it and upgraded to ext4 from ext3 partition. I'm going to try it again soon when the new kingdom a2 is uploaded.

Same Problem but I fixed it
I had the same problem and I fixed it by copying my sd card, and clearing the sd card and only putting back the rom I was going to install/flash. I then flashed my first backup which was the initial rom I saved right after rooting, I then was able to start normally, and of course before installing I wiped all caches and system stuff in clockwordmod that I was able to. I was then able to reflash my other backups just as normal and everything was like nothing had went wrong. But I had the exact same problem to begin with.
The problem is the SD card gets corrupt from various things. I had the problem and with the help of a dev got it fixed. All I did was a slow format and complete repartition of the SD card. Also learned a few things from him too. One thing was that instead of mounting the card to my computer to copy files to it that I should just use adb push instead. Makes life a whole lot easier too.
OK, so I have been running DoomKernel on my R800x for ages now and tonight I decided to try out the TurboKernel:
See post # 1234 through 1241
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817548&page=124
I flashed it and had some issues with GB, so I formatted Cache/data/system partitions as mentioned in CosmicDans FAQ. I then booted from recoveryPLAY.img wiped all three again then ftfd back to a stock VZ ftf. Then wiped all three again via recoveryPLAY, then reflashed DK. Only to find that I despite all the wiping, ftfing, and flashing that I can only restore system & data of my nandroid backup. If I restore cache I get an error of "not enough storage". This being despite the fact that I ftfd and had it clear/erase everything. I have even repaired my sd card via my pc...... still I get the same.
Can anyone offer any ideas/suggestions how to fix this cache partition error? I believe that Turbokernel resizes the cache partition.. but even doing all the above to restore it back its still the same.... any ideas? I hav espent 3 hours trying to repair this to no avail... and I am out of ideas.... thank you in advance.
One thing I forgot to mention is that when I attempt to restore my apps as half are missing from the system drawer TB loads but during restore process it just hangs... anyone have any ideas?
I just FTFd again and tried to restore my cache but it spit back as "error: cache/log/ not enough storage...

Anyone?!?!
OK< somehow I got it to restore the cache without any lack of storage issues, however now my sdcard wont mount when the phone is booted up. Any ideas how to get the card to mount on bootup?
nevermind...
Forgot to mention that yes I did go to the storage menu under settings, everything is greyed out excpet the safe unmount when battery cover is removed.
Hey everyone.
Well, I'm getting back into rooting devices and changing roms etc... So, last night I refreshed myself (it's been a few years) and decided to flash Chameleon OS. With that said, I backed up some OS data by using My Backup. I also did a Nandroid backup, wiped my SD card (full of junk), and performed a system reset, cache wipe, and Dalvik cache wipe. Afterwhich, Chameleon installed fine; however, my SD card now has ALL of the junk back on it again. I still see old references to pictures, apps, and db files. As a result Chameleon, is not running at its best. Can someone tell me how/why my data was restored to my SD card?
Also, the backup I created using My Backup is no longer on my SD card. I re-downloaded to app after flashing Chameleon and attempted to perform a restore of my APN data...needless to say, My Backup reported that it could not find the backup on my SD card. Presumably due to the restoration of the old junk back to my SD card????
Can someone shed on light on this??
Thanks.

seems like nandroid backup wasnt backing up anything when it was saying it did lol. delete and install the apk again just to make sure it wont do it in the future
Hey,
I was using WanamLite 4.3 ROM with Android 4.3 and MJ5 bootloader. No backups.
And after a friend of mine broke my SD slot (long story), my phone started to reboot and unmount the SD card, then it broke up completely and I can't use a SD card anymore. So, I kept using my phone without it, until one day it rebooted and when it came back I lost all Deezer syncronized musics, Evernote notes, SMS and things like that. The other day, it reboot again and now it was like a factory reset, I lost all configs and just the installed apps and pictures wasn't lost.
But my phone was crazy, home button not working, no notifications, status bar not working and lots of other things, then I opened the Downloads app and I received an error and then everything came back to normal, really strange, but I started to receive two annoying errors:
The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
The process android.process.media has stopped
And anything related to Google or media was useable, and they kept appearing while I pressed ok.
So, I did a mega wipe (script found here, can't post links) and installed a 4.4 Rom (PhoeniX ROM), but, guess what, received a "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable.", hit "I'm feeling lucky" button and my two friends started to annoy me to hell again.
What can I do? I thought on doing a Kies factory reset but I'm scared of bricking my phone (it tells me to use Kies 3, btw), my phone is unuseable. :crying:
(Edit: Just noticed you said you mega wiped...)
So how about flashing kitkat through odin? Sammobile.com

Yeah, I'll try that, but I don't have much hope, is there a way to do a "deeper" wipe, that totally deletes any ROM, then I install that from nothing.
You'll lose all data but you should wipe
/system, /data (factory reset), /cache and dalvik cache. I have also once found an internal storage (/sdcard) necessary.
What I would do to fix all the problems,
Using TWRP recovery, I format disk and wipe everything can be wiped. (Ofc you'll lose ALL the data on the phone, which might be the problem as you don't have an SD card, unless after wipe you know how to transfer files from PC while in recovery) This is the best wipe you would get IMO. Then install a very stable rom like ARHD or omega rom . Or DN3

THANK YOU!!!!!
It worked, I never used TWRP, really awesome. I was getting errors when trying to format system, so I went to config and select the option to use rm -f instead of formatting, and after that work, I formatted everything and installed DN3. Thanks a lot, really!
I did a Clockworkmod backup (and also a titanium paid version backup) on my towel rooted Sprint GS 3, kitkat 4.4.2. I renamed the backup, using CWM's option to do so.
I then did a factory reset using the msl number (as directed by my carriers tech support because I was getting duplicate text messages).
I then discovered that my titanium backups were apparently not on my external sd card, but were in the internal storage.
Titanium also cannot appears to be somehow locked out of the sd card.
And oddly, when I installed the Waze app, all I get now is a black screen.
I then attempted to restore the phone using CWM (first time doing this)
When I attempted the restore, CWM did not find the backup on the SD card. I found the backup by going into "advanced" options and found it there in a directory called "SD1"
After restore of system and then restore of data,
The phone went into a loop, showing the message, " com.google.process.gapps has stopped."
Pressing "ok", just brings the message back over and over.
I tried wiping the Dalvik cache, and I tried booting into safe mode - no change.
I am supposed to do something different to get a Clockworkmod restore? I thought it would bring the phone back to it's exact state at the time of the backup using an image stored on the SD card.
And now I can't get at my Titanium backups unless I first get the CWM restore working so I get access since the titanium backup was, I believe, put in internal storage... (guess I need a separate thread about how to get titanium working... I can't get backup directory access with titanium after the factory reset)
How do I get CWM to do a restore from the image on my SD card?
Thanks for your thoughts and any help!
