Twrp restored problem. Please help - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm using liquid smooth v.2.9 stock kernel on d2att gs3
So earlier today I had problems with apps freezing up and the phone randomly shutting off so I went to make a back up of my current setup and then restore to a previous image of the same ROM. After I restored I got errors saying certain processes had stopped so I went to restore back to the back up I had just made. Here is where it gets interesting. After I restored everything was still as it was with the older back up. My back ground, texts, and even pictures where from when I did that restore which was weeks ago. So my question is is there something I'm missing? I even tried mounting the system files then doing a restore of my most current image and everything was still the older back up I had made. Any suggestions? I never had this problem with cwm recovery but I stopped using it because I would make a back up with that and then later when I tried restoring the "md5" was a miss match even though it was the same ROM. It always seemed to happen when I renamed the files but that's another matter. My understanding is that if I restore it should be to that version and not stay the same as the current one.
Any ideas?

When you restore are you wiping system/data/cache/dalvik cache?

try different roms, also CWM RECOVERY is also a gotogo, since it has been updated and fixed but i still dont know if TWRP doesnt work
also try clearing cache, dalvik, resetting, anything even going back to stock fixes everything but yu have to back up everything with titanium back up before you jump the ship, if yu dont yu re screwed big tym hope that helps any problems can be fixed we just need to know whats the problem and then we can solve it

Phone Process Failed

Stock rooted, S-OFF
Picked up the phone earlier and went to make a call only to be thrown into a phone process failed loop. Try to make a call, fail.... Let it reset and try, fail.... Restart, try call, fail.
Have done nothing to the phone since last it worked fine with no problem cept a Titanium backup last night. I'm restoring all apps and data now but it's way super slow so thought ask in the mean time.
Would applying the Nov OTA via same process as before restore it to factory?:
http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/
Or would there be a more preferred process to get it back factory? Don't mind losing everything as I have all data and apps backed up several times so can get it back.
What's your ideas on how to get back to stock and keep root? Or maybe stock then rooting again? Ya know, if the backup fails...
Well you should be able to to a factory reset, or use the PB31IMG.zip in hboot to reflash the latest stock rom.

Yeah, I'm back to stock now and just made a test call that worked. Now it's time to root it again and then be very selective what I put on it.

[Q] Restoring from CWM 3.1.0.1 not working

I created a backup using CWM 3.1.0.1 (from rooted EC05). I then flashed one of the new roms, and today wanted to go back, so i booted into 3.1.0.1 and did the restore (from cw). Now the phone boots up to the Samsung screen and sits there. What am I doing wrong? Sorry if this has already been asked, I did a search but couldn't find this particular issue. Thanks for any and all help.
both backups were made using 3.1.0.1? and were both made in 3finger recovery? and when you restored you were in 3 finger recovery, not reboot recovery?

I only did 1 backup, not sure what you mean by 3 finger recovery? I booted in CWM (purple) and did the back-up. I then put on the "Bamboozle" rom (and yes, I wiped everything 3x like qb shows in the vid) then installed the rom. I ran it for the past week (loved the rom, but it was eating my battery really bad) so wanted to try a different rom. I thought the easiest way to start was to restore the backup I made, so I booted back into cwm and selected Backup/Restore, Restore, Yes and it ran and said it restored fine. I reboot, but all I get to now is the Samsung screen, no further.

Let me just say, I think I f'ked my phone up. So I gave up trying to restore, just odin'd back to stock (ec 05). Which I then re-rooted and re-installed CWM 3.1.0.1 (I have titanium backups as well). However, now the phone runs really, really slow and when I try to restore apps from titanium it just sits there (in batch mode). Sorry, for being a noob; hey, if nothing else, maybe I'm making someone smile at my dumb a$$. But now, if I can be even more stupid, is there a way to just "reset" the phone, by that I mean put it back to a "true stock" form so I can start over? And then, can I just delete these backups, and roms from the sd card (just hookup to laptop and delete from the sd-card)? I think maybe it'd be easier to just start from scratch again...thanks for the help, I try to keep up with the forums, but so many posts....
What he means by 3 finger is the ONLY way to get into recovery for proper operation. With power off press and hold camera, volume down, and power. Holding all 3 until you see the recovery menu. If you use any other method such as ROM Manager or Quick Boot you will more than likely screw up your phone. Neither application is recommended for recovery operations.

I believe clockwork does not backup the kernel. You may need to install a kernel.
Just a thought...

If you backed up on ec05 and installed a gingerbread rom you need to odin back to ec05 and then do the restore. It won't work if you are on different os versions. At least it never has for me.

Wait, did you wipe data/system,cache, and Dalvik Cache then restore your nandroid? I have a SRF 1.2, an Urban Regeneration, and a CM7 nandroid. As long as I wipe everything then restore I have no problems. I have bounced between all three today with no issues

Yeah, the issue was I was running bamboozle (GB leaked rom), so once I odin'd back to EC05, I was able to run the restore without problem. I am now running SRF 1.2 (awesome rom btw) and I was able to restore when trying to install that rom (and the genocide kernel). Thanks for all the helpful answers.

I would have thought the same thing. However, I simply restored my SFR 1.2 nandroid right over the gingerbread rom. With a few glitches smoothed out I am running fine again with no Odin involved.

Yeah, I have gotten the dreaded Google Services Framework FC's a couple of times but for the most part I can wipe everything and restore a Froyo setup even when on a Gingerbread ROM. The purp recovery is good like that.

When restoring across different OS versions it is handy to do a Restore>Advanced Restore Data from the Nand backup. There may be the occasional FC if the data format has changed but that usually can be fixed by clearing data of the offending app, especially for Google sevice framework.

Kenny - I did try that as well. I tried everything, I did the "Restore" option like 4 separate times, I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache 3 x, even did the Advanced option and went down the list. None of that helped. Now it may be that I just didn't wait long enough, but I figured 4-6 minutes of the "Samsung" screen meant it had stopped responding (I see that all that time in MS apps). I finally odin'd back to stock ec05, re-rooted (and updated back to cwm 3.1.0.1), then I ran the restore (not advanced), and it worked like a charm. Thanks for all the suggestions on this.

Sometimes our phones can be so finicky. Glad you got it working. Usually when Dalvik is rebuilding it takes awhile at the S screen, so you are correct that 4-6 minutes at Samsung is a cry for help from your phone.

Not true. I always go from froyo to gingerbread with backups. What he Did wrong was not wipe when he tried to restore his back up that's why he got stuck on the Sammy screen. Also if he tried to restore a rfs froyo rom it could've gotten stuck there also since bammbozle was ext4.

You can restore from EXT4 to RFS with advanced restore data nand. He said he tried all of this and still got stuck. But I think you are correct and the first restore attempt borked everything. From there a reflash then advanced restore data should have worked.

So if I understand what you guys said, I should have wiped first (before the initial restore), which I didn't do. When the first restore didn't work, then I did the wipe x3, but it sounds like by that point it was already too late. So should you always wipe before restoring? I only ask, because once I got everything back to a good place I flashed the sfr 1.2. The first attempt caused the phone to boot up with that annoying "Android" screen, so I just booted into CWM and restored. That time I just restored (no wipes, no advanced) and it restored fine. I then re-flashed and all was good. So it seems like you don't always have to wipe x3 before restoring? Thanks btw, all good info for future ref.

[Q]Bad Nandroid?

So it's my day off, so I thought I'd spend some of that time messing around with my phone. First thing I do is create a nandroid with CWM, because I'm not an idiot.
Only apparently I am, because after fouling up a restore of a new rom with an unrelated to my nandroid issue I'm working on resolving (Something in my TB backedup data causes Android.process.acore to force close) I restored my nandroid.
Only to be stuck staring at the Galaxy SII logo.
Does anyone know what can cause a bootlock like this just from restoring a nadroid? I've tried just rebooting into recovery and restoring it, wiping cache/dalvik and restoring, full wipe and restore.... nothing. Bootlock.
Please help, and a million thanks in advance.
Are you sure it actually backed up properly. I got caught out there like that one time where I thought I backed up my rom but it failed and did not notice it till I restored.
Check the folder size that your actual backup is in and compare it the file size of another backup you hopefully have

It's the right size. The other nandroid I had was 1.08 gb, this one is 1.1 gb, so
it's definitely the right size.
If it was on ics and you used el26cwm then you have to restore the nandroid backup then flash an ics kernel.

[Q] Problem restoring from TWRP backup

Hi everyone. I used TWRP to make a backup of my CM10 nightly so I could flash a TW rom and be able to boot between the two by using the recoveries. Backed up CM10 no problem. Wiped/installed the TW rom (FreeGS3) successfully and it booted just fine. Used it for a little, then I restored my CM10 backup and it just shows the CM10 boot animation and nothing else is happening. I noticed that it made 2 data archives while backing up, but thought nothing of it. Upon further review, I discovered that I can boot with just the 1 data file restored but once I restore the 2nd data file, I get the endless boot animation. Is there anything I can do to solve this? I really need the data I have on here for school and it annoys me that it's sitting in a file that I can't restore!
I posted a question about this same type of issue yesterday here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31573026
...and nobody has seemed to give a crap. But I too have been having trouble restoring my CM10 nandroids. I dunno what the deal is. It's weird.
Also I posted the question in the CM10 nightly thread, and all I got was, "TWRP works fine for me. TWRP restores fine for me. Blah, blah, blah...
Although did read in other places, rootzwiki and around google that TWRP has been known to not restore CM10 nands well for some reason. Something having to do with it not restoring the kernel data well. And the only way around it is to reflash whatever kernel you were using. Kind of a drag. But I'm with you, my TW rooms have been restoring just fine, but the CM10s have been a mess.
Considering switching back to CWM.

Actually I only get one data archive. But someone somewhere did mention something about using the "extract from nandroid" option in Titanium Backup. I haven't tried it yet, but supposedly it works. I think there's other "extract from nandroid" app on the market if I'm not mistaken.
As of right now, I'm about to email the Team Win development team to ask them about the issue. Maybe they can tell me what's going on. Cuz it's only recently this started happening with the restoring of CM10 nandroids, at least for me.

Yeah I've used TWRP to make CM10 backups and this is the first time that this has happened to me and of course it happens when I need it most! I flashed a TW rom so I could flash the corporate PRL (24006). I went to restore my backup and bam, no boot.

Same thing happened with me. Did the whole Prl thing, and now they're not restoring well. Happened to me with trying to restore the last three CM10s I've ttied to restore. I dunno if the Prl change would have anything to do with it. Although I did get one to settle down after wiping cache and delvik twice, and fix permissions.
But gonna try it again tonight.
Also, I emailed team win and linked them back to here. Hopefully we'll hear back soon.

I tried changing the PRL back to what it was before the backup and it still doesn't boot unfortunately. :/ Luckily I backed up the TWRP backup to my computer so I don't have to worry about losing it. Does your boot animation just keep playing over and over again after it reboots?

Yeah it does. For the 3rd one I tried restoring, it at least booted into the rom, but once I started using it, it would force close after a couple minutes. And it would do that over and over. Until I wiped cache and delvik.

For the 3rd nandroid, once it booted up, I immediately booted into recovery and wiped cache and delvik, and rebooted. I did that like three times before it settled down a bit. But ultimately it didn't fix it 100%. I still got FCs. Just not as frequent.
But I finally restored a couple "new" nandroids with the same prl, and I had no problems. I really think it had something to do with the two prls clashing.

But I have gone back into my TW rom and updated the PRL back to what my CM10 backup has it and still won't boot. I have narrowed it down to just being the data archives not restoring properly because it will boot if I don't restore data at all, just that I have nothing on there for data. Is there a way I can restore without data, then restore the data while booted into CM10?

To be honest, I'm stumped about your situation. Because I'm not sure why your old back up is not restoring for you, even tho you change prl back. Cuz my remedy was basically to delete all my old cm10 back ups and start fresh with some new nandroids. And they all seem to be restoring well now that haven't changed the prl. But I know you want to try and salvage your old data. At this point, I'd try and email Team Win and tell them about your situation. They may be able to give you some more tips.
PS . I'm still waiting for a response from the email I sent a couple says ago.

PS . I'm still waiting for a response from the email I sent a couple says ago.

Basically it restores fine as long as I don't restore the data files, which are kinda important. :banghead:

By the way, I just threw my CM10 backup on my SD card to see if it would work and it's currently restoring so I'll let you know if it works. I'm just trying anything at this point!
EDIT: It's restoring archive 2 right now! That never happened before. This should be good. So anxious!
OMG IT WORKED! I'M SO HAPPY! drewmonge, put the backup on your SD card and restore and it will work!
It's the kernal. I had the same problem but just from switching between TW and ASOP roms. Flash a new kernal made for whatever type (asop or tw) you're trying to install and it'll work. Mine happened on a s4 though, but I bet same base problem.

Phone restarts before finishing backup restore

Hi.
I have no idea what's wrong. My backups usually restore easily with no problems. I have two backups currently. One made on the 11th and one made on the 15th. I've restored to the 11th many times before because I was testing out ROMs then. I decided I was satisfied with the one I already had, and kept it the way it was, restoring back to the 11th. I've used it since then, downloading apps and stuff. But today, I wanted to try another ROM. So I made the backup for the 15th. I didn't like the ROM i was testing out, so I TRIED to restore to the 15th. But, while restoring on CWM, it just stops, and my phone restarts. I thought it was just ONE bad restore. But I tried multiple times, and the same thing keeps happening. So I decided to restore to the 11th to see if it was just a bad backup, but same thing happens when I try to restore. Please help! I've searched the forums and googled it before posting. But I haven't found any threads with this specific problem. Thanks a lot!
Try clean installing the ROM of the backed up ROM, and then restoring backup.

By clean installing you mean reflashing cm 10.1 and gapps right?

Yes. The original ROM of which you took backup.

Okay. I tried it. Flashed the original ROM and gapps that I started with. Still the same thing. But, I tried starting from scratch, making a backup of that, and restoring it to see if it was still a problem. But the brand new backup works now, but the others still don't. It seems as if it always restarts when restoring a specific data.
Looks like some data got messed up. Sorry, this is as far as I can think of.

What version of cwm are you on?

I'm currently using 6.0.3.1. I made the backups using the touch version and tried restoring on touch as well. But I reverted back to this and tried restoring but it didn't work either.
