Hello!
I'm in a bit of panic. Since Google pushes their stuff over OTA and my custom rom PAC somehow didn't deal with that correctly, it caused to use all my data, so I wanted to give stock 4.3 a try.
Rebooted into CWM, made a backup of my current ROM, free unused backup data, did a factory reset like always and flashed the 4.3 image. Wasn't happy at all with stock 4.3 so I wanted to go back. To my horror, restoring that image failed. Error while restoring /data!. I tried booting up anyway, maybe only a few settings were lost, but it started like the first time I flashed the ROM with the gapps log-in thing and all my apps are gone.
I tried getting back in CWM, manually restored /data, but that didn't work either. It starts restoring /data but then halfway through it stops with the error.
Previous backups (AOKP/CM/PAC) didn't restore /data either.
Installing Nandroid Manager to restore individual apps to a fresh ROM fails too. It sees all apps but it can't restore anything at all.
I have come to the discovery that apps won't even install. Apps manually extracted from the backups are 0kb and I can't seem to install some apps from the Play Store either. Unknown error code during application install: "-24"
Does 4.3 change anything about where the /data partition is? Or what happened?
What's the problem and can I even restore the data? Or do I have to start over?

have the same story with galaxy note 2..
Flash backwards first
not an expert here, but isnt the general protocol to try to flash back to the same version of the os first (i.e 4.2.2), and then try the CWM restore?
Are you able to try to track down the same os version you had before?
Have the same issue with my i717

I flashed back to 4.2.2 and then tried restore, but no luck. It gave me the same error (Error while restoring /data).

This isn't like some of the other nandroid fail threads i've encountered.
I had a full nandroid backup of my tmobile g2 (eng hboot) and I lost that device. I got an exact replacement, rooted it (no eng hboot), installed rom manager only and flashed clockwork. I then copied my nandroid backup to the clockwork/backups directory and did a restore.
The phone booted successfully with cyanogen 7 nightly 22 flashed but the only problem is that it seems to have done a fresh install...as in there are no apps, no data, just cyanogen 7 nightly 22. It appears it didn't restore anything except the rom itself. Any ideas? thanks in advance.
ps. ive done multiple data wipes, and tried 2 different nandroid backup files on the new phone.
Did you have darktremors a2sd installed on the old ROM? CWM3 seems to have an issue for some with seeing the sd-ext partition and won't back it up. So when you select 'restore' in CWM it *successfully* completes the nandroid restore correct, no errors? It would be odd for it to give you a 'restore complete' message if it ran into any errors.
pretty sure I don't have a2sd installed on the old rom. first time i'm hearing of it. I don't recall getting any errors after restoring the backup but I will try again and double check. I also have much older backups that I can try to restore and see if those go through
Well I think this needs more attention if it's really not restoring the nandroids fully. Seems like it's restoring the system.img and whatnot just not the data.img. Maybe try it with ADB and see if it works. I've never had to do it that way but I know it can be done, you may have to run it in a shell.
I tried restoring a nandroid backup from February, which I believe was backed up with an older version of clockwork, and it was completely successful. This tells me that either the new clockwork is not backing up correctly or it's getting corrupted.
I then tried restoring 3 different backups and they did not give me any errors but failed to restore my data. hmmm
Hi,
After rooting and trying some ROM's out i wanted to go back to an 'old' ROM from which I had a nandroid backup. It went smooth the first time but the second time I got a error saying that Google services framework stopped working.
Only the stock app worked and none of my other installed apps did.
I couldn't even open the settings menu nor could i open Titanium backup.
I then reflashed the ROM and manually copied some TB backup folders but lost all other data.
Someone has an idea about this?

I'm using Amon_RA atm.
Still no fix?...
try re-flashing recovery and then do the restore again. If you don't know how check the guide in my link.
Hey guys,
I have kind of a serious issue right now. I used Touch Recovery 5.8.0.2 and made a full backup today of my whole ROM (2.5GB) before trying out some mods which eventually didn't work. So I decided to wipe and restore the backup I made. No matter what I do I cannot get it to restore my data partition properly. I keep getting "Error while restoring /data!" message, however it does the boot image and system fine but doesn't continue to cache and sd-ext because of the failed data. Whenever I boot it up, some of my apps are missing from the home screen and practically all of them are not working when I launch them (force close). I also get boot up error of Google+ force close, among a bunch of other issues. This is happening even when I try to restore an older backup as well. My device is not working state right now and although I can just restore the stock images to get it working again, it is urgent that I restore my data ASAP! I tried wiping several times and even using the non-touch 5.5.0.4 recovery to restore and same thing keeps happening.
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Please don't tell me my backup is corrupt
Update 1: Eventually I gave up and started from scratch but I have confirmed already this happened on a fresh backup as well, at this time we are trying to figure out what is causing this so I can go back to safely backing up and restoring backups.
Update 2: We have test builds of TWRP Recovery that may have resolved this issue! We need testers!
Please see this post: Link Here
Update 3: We have test builds of ClockworkMod Recovery 6 that may have resolved this issue as well! We need testers!
Please see this post: Link Here
***Always see last few posts on the thread for updates on what we discovered just in case I don't update the OP***
Unfortunately I also have the same error today!
Please help us out.

is your phone encrypted?
are you running stock recovery?
are you running a stock Rom?
have you done a factory reset yet?
Hi Spectre85,
My phone did fine yesterday, I was running AOPK Milestone 3 with FAUX123 kernel.
But when I woke up, my phone looked like it's battery was emtpy.
- When I plugged the phone with the charger, I started the phone again.
- Unfortunately my phone keep looping at the Google screen over and over.
So I pulled the battery and put the battery back again in the phone.
- I went to the bootloader and went to CWM recovery.
Deleted Data, Cache and Dalvike cache.
- Tried to retrieve my backup rom, but keep getting this "Error while restoring /data!" message.
I've tried to install other roms as well, but I still keep getting the bootloop at the Google screen.
Have you guys have any advice for me?

For me, no, no (CWM Touch 5.8.0.2), yes (stock rooted 4.0.4), no but my goal is to restore my data not erase it.
I had this happen to me before, what I did was flash a factory image through fast boot and it was fine after.

Thanks guys..I flashed the factory image through Fastboot mode and the phone works perfectly again! Too bad I lost all my data, but I'm happier that I have my phone fully functional again
You can't access your backup right? There's no way you can copy the file to your desktop?

I did copy it. I have full access to the file. Also, just fyi my goal here is not just to get to working state (I'm aware of the stock images) but to actually recover my data. My phone is currently on stock images completely blank and working now.
Fast boot flash the nand images just like u did the stock ones.

Nanadroid files can be flashed in fastboot? Are you sure? First time I'm hearing this. Doesn't fastboot need .img files? These are .tar files.
Open it up and see if its image...sorry all my recoveries use images.

I guess it depends on the recovery version you use. I remember older versions actually had .img files. However 5.5.0.4 and Touch 5.8.0.2 both have ext4.tar files.
Which version of recovery do you use?
If you have root, you can restore your data partition using Titanium Backup. Use "Export from Nandroid Backup" within TB, select the nandroid backup and then select all apps that you want to restore

Yes. Titanium Backup can restore all your system apps as well as downloaded apps from a nandroid backup. Not as clean as a nandroid restore from CWM but essentially the same thing. But try to see if Titanium Backup can extract your nandroid backup. It all depends on what exactly went wrong with your nandroid backup to begin with. I don't think it restores cache. So not sure about wallpaper.

You're right. This works great for restore data to select apps (got my notes and game saves back). I think the icon layout is held in the launcher settings, I'm about to try and restore the data to the launcher app and see what happens. I'm making a CWM backup of first of my current state (that's assuming this backup will actually work).
EDIT: Yes! That did it! Widgets position weren't saved but it's ok I only had a few so I manually put them back. Thank you! I never knew TB had the ability to work with nandroid backups.
I guess this now just leaves me figuring out what went wrong with the CWM backup. It happened twice (I have two backups from the same day that won't restore). Does anyone else use CWM Touch 5.8.0.2 and have successful backups? I would experiment to see if it works now but I don't want to end up with a corrupt backup and redo everything again.
Yes with me its the same thing my data its corrupt is even worse every time I do a nanobackup and restarted my phone the phone freezes on the boot logo and I have to go back to recovery trying to use my backups but I can't so I have to flash a new from again and start from the beginning again!!!! Anybody here has the same experience with that ???
So AGAIN, I'm having the same issue. This time on a recovery 5.5.0.4 that used to work for me when I originally got my phone. I think either my data partition might be too big or something but this really needs to fixed pronto. Anyone know how to contact Koush directly in regards to this matter?
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 .

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.
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f485/htc-m8-collection-stock-backups-1882892/
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 ?
