Hey, I just flashed AOSP KitKat but when I boot into twrp, my backups are gone. When I boot into the rom, they're there when I check my file browser. I had a backup backed up to my laptop and just put it in the root of my storage. Can I just flash it like I would a custom rom through the "Install" menu? Or will that mess something up?

I had installed cwm with freegee then I flashed philz touch. everything was working fine. I restored a backup (slimbean 4.3), rom booted and was running fine. then I flashed a font and I ended up in a bootloop.. I then booted into recovery and wiped everything like I normally do when installing a new rom or restoring a backup. I restored my backup and now whenever I choose reboot phone it just reboots back into recovery. Is there anything I can try without having to completely start from scratch?
Go back to CWM from Freegee and restore your back up.

How would I do that? and I'm not sure that would work. everything has been working fine with restoring backups and flashing new roms. I've only had this problem because I flashed a font zip and it may have not been compatible
You should have another recovery, either CWM or TWRP on your phone from before Philz recovery don't you? Boot into recovery, flash one of them and flash a rom.

yeah I installed cwm with freegee and used that for awhile.. then I flashed cwm advanced edition philz touch for e980 and as I said everything worked fine, flashing roms, restoring backups. I was on bs harmony 4.4 and flashed a font zip file and it worked fine. a little while ago I wiped everything thru recovery like normal and restored my slimbean 4.3 backup, it booted fine and I ended up going back to recovery and flashing the same font zip file and that's when I ended up in a bootloop.. I removed battery and booted into recovery wiped everything and tried to restore both backups but it only resulted in a cwm bootloop, everytime I reboot it boots back into cwm advanced edition philz touch
And you're positive that you don't have another recovery like madmack's hacked TWRP on your phone somewhere? I have it, TWRP 2.6.3, CWM all on my phone and have switched because of different roms. Look hard or you might need to start over.

no I'm not positive.. I assumed that when I flashed philz touch it installed over the freegee cwm that I installed.. am I wrong? if so how would I go about booting into the freegee cwm that I originally installed? when booting the phone and holding the volumedown, power, and home button it automatically boots into the philz touch cwm
You mean power, volume +, and home.? Freegee is probably gone.

yeah that's what I meant, sorry. so what should I do? is my only option to start over and install original kdz?
Maybe you can sideload one of the recoveries. One of the posts on the attached discusses that option. Otherwise it is the LG flashtool.

Is it possible to back up my phone before flashing a rom?

Yup - MyBackUp Pro OR Titanium Backup for data - Or a CWM backup of everything.
Yes it is. Referred to as a Nandroid. Reboot into your custom recovery CWM or TWRP, select back up, the destination of the back up to internal or external and run it. Hope that helps.

What he said about nandroids. And I like to use Titanium Backup PRO to backup my apps and data. Also, there are many SMS backup apps that don't need root.

I can't get ClockworkMod back on my Pad, and I need it to restore a backup. I have TWRP on now, and my backup will only restore under CWM. I can't boot into the bootloader, because that's locked -- I had to perform an emergency restore, which downloaded & installed the latest firmware from LG. Where do I start?
Thanks!

Hi, I backed up my S4 with TWRP in the recovery mode and with the app using Live Backup. TWRP will not allow me to restore these backup. It starts restoring and then just restarts. I put the backup files on the internal memory. Do you know what could be the issue? Thanks.

Are you running TWRP 2.7.0.1? I recently had the same issue with it and ended up going to an older version (2.5.x.x). If you phone is up and running you might try to revert to and older version and see if it reads your backup.
I ended up going over to philz recovery..

The Live backup might not be compatible with TWRP.
