Hi,
I have rooted my samsung galaxy s3 phone. Then I have installed the CWM6.0.1.2 and later installed the beanstalk custom rom today. Everything was working fine untill I accidentally tried to restore my system data using Titanium backup. The phone restarted and now it is stuck in the boot animation of the Beanstalk.
I am a novice in doing all this and I am not sure if I have a nandroid backup. I only have the apps data backup and system data backup which was taken using Titanium backup. Is there any way I can restore it back to the way it was working before. Please advice, any help is appreciated.
Is there any way to enter in to the CWM mode while restarting so that I can try to re install the Beanstalk rom on my phone?
I tried pressing the volume down and power button+ menu button, But it is going in to the Downloading mode instead of CWM mode.
I'd be happy to donate through paypal to the person who can help me resolve the problem.
I went into the CWM mode and did a factory reset and now it is working fine.

hello I just replaced a broken EVO and now that it is rooted I am trying to restore my old backup from my previous evo.. I am having a problem though
I go through all the normal process to restore a backup and everything works fine the super user permission pops up and the phone reboots but instead of rebooting directly into the reboot session it just boots me into the clockwork mod recovery recovery menu.. when i select the folder the recovery files are located in it shows up blank.. what am I doing wrong here? In the past when I selected to restore a backup from inside the os it just rebooted and started restoring automatically.. I feel like an extra step has now been added and I dont know what it is?
I should also not that while I do not know if it is related or not when I try to restore the backup from the nandroid section of the recovery menu it hangs on checking md5 sums and then says error while flashing boot image!
mind you this is on 2 separate backups I created in the past with clockwork mod recovery
It's probably not a good idea to use an old nandroid backup on a new phone. Think of how kernels run well on some EVO phones and not others. Your current phone might even be one of the EVOs with new hardware.

ok but can I still get all my apps and data back?
it would be terrible to lose all of that
and now to make matters even worse my phone is stuck on an endless loop on clockwork mod recovery I every time I select reboot system now instead of it booting into the stock rooted rom it just reloads the clockwork mod recovery menu.. what gives?
yeah, not good to load a backup from a different phone. This has been documented as happening. Just reflash whatever rom you want then radios then kernel. Sorry but if you didn't use a backup prog I thinkyou will have to manually restore apps. You may want to try titanium backup, solves the problem, use it and follow the backup instructions in Titanium backup wiki on their web site and you should be good to go next time.
Did you try a battery pull and reboot?

Nandroid backups are phone specific, you can't move them from phone to phone. You probably hosed your RSA keys which means your 4g may be broke. If I were you I would try to flash a stock rom and then reroot if needed. If that gets you out of the bootloop your in. You maybe visiting a Sprint store for a replacement phone again.
guys I could really use some help here please!
I went back to the stock rooted rom today.. all day I was adding apps making changes restarting the phone no problems.. I finally get my phone set up how I like it so I decided it was a great time to make a backup so I open clockwork mod recovery and select backup it gives me the superuser permissions prompt and restarts.. instead of starting the backup automatically it sends me directly to the clockwork mod recovery menu and now it will not load the phone's OS at all just reboot after reboot into clockwork mod recovery this is a 1 day old evo what is going on here!!??

Hey that exact thing happened to me. it happened the first time i ever loaded anything on my phone. I freaked out. Turned out the Clockword mod recovery I had must have had something wrong. I went back into the part where you load the CWM from the computer. My phone is different than yours so I cant be sure but you go into bootloader by pressing stuff, its where the logo stays there the whole time. then you flash the CWM again. and then reload the operating system and stuff. should work but just redo the CWM again. Hope it works out for you. Hope thats what it is for you too.
I have a MyTouch 4g and I recently rooted and installed rom manager and the premium version as well. I followed the steps via youtube video and was trying to download the rom Cyanogen 7. (forgot the numbers) I first made sure to backup my current phone via rom manager then i proceeded to install the new Cyanogen rom but once rebooted it was stuck on the cyanogen boot menu. I then booted the phone to recovery mode hit recovery which brought me to the rom manager recory mode. I accidently hit backup instead of restore and now there are two choice for when i go to hit restore. I just want to get my phone back to the way it was before my trying to flash the rom. any advice? once again sorry for the noob question.
Just select to restore your original backup.
when i go to do so it freezes on the mytouch 4g boot screen. I've even tried to do a factory reset but it keeps bringing me back to clickworkmod. and i hit the option wipe data factory reset and i click restore now and it has the same effect. I'm about to smash my head into a wall. All I want is to go back to the original way the phone was.
hey guys
need help..i rooted my desire using unrevoked3
and then did ndroid backup( dont know wat to do now) screen is not responding and phone is not even rebooting!!!
right now stuck..
help me guys...
...
hi,
sorry for your problem with that.
i flashed my handy ´bout 40 times and never had issues with nandroid not responding.
how ever, ... i fi understand right, the nandroid backup is a "backup" which means it reads the data out of the phones nand and stores it on the micro Sdhc card.
i think that it should be no problem to remove the battery and put it right back in the phone. but i am not 100% sure if any damage on the phone could happen if you interrupt the nandroid backup. maybe lost of data of the sd card could occur.
Hope that you ll get a better answer soon from another member
Good Luck
Boot into recovery and restore the backup. It happens quite often after your first backup.

hey mike..
i have got clockwork mod recovery 2.5.7 (unrevoked3) and whenever i try to do ndroid backup the screen goes blank ( or something like that)
how do we know the backup has been finished ;?
The screen shouldn't go blank.
What happens when you choose restore in clockworkmod? Does it give you any backups to choose from?

Jus restored the original backup made got it workin again!!
thnx to "rastaman-fb" from android-forums
1st of all doing a backup using rom manager or clockwork after rooting causes a boot loop. its easy to fix. just restore your nandroid backup you made that caused the boot loop in the first place
go to recovery (voldown + power) use volume rocker to select recovery and press power to boot to recovery
go into backup and restore and restore the backup

I had the same problem with my HTC EVO 4G using clockwork recovery 5.0.2.2. Phone is rooted, but still has the default ROM.
I ran a backup and my screen went black. I waited for a while, but then I forced my phone to reboot by yanking the battery and my phone DID actually recover on its own.
I tried running the backup one more time and found that the backup was actually taking place. I could see the progress text if I held the phone in just the right lighting. I waited for about 5 more minutes and my phone rebooted, completing the backup successfully.
So long story short, if your screen goes black, just be patient and wait...it may just be running silent.
Hello! I am posting this because i'm new to this rooting/custom roms thing. OK. So i have a Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100. I rooted it using odin, then tried to install new rom. Downloaded CWM, booted into recovery mode and installed new rom. After this, i accidentally pressed 'Reboot' instead of installing gapps & wiping cache and that stuff. Now, my phone starts with the new rom, but i can't get back into recovery mode to start over. When i press vol-, home and power button, after pressing vol+ it goes into download mode (i can't do anything here). Any help will be appreciated!
UPDATE! I tried to flash odin recovery, and now my phone is stuck at the bootscreen. The only thing i can do is get into download mode. PLEASE HELP!
I've managed to get rid of the problem above by installing original firmware from samsung (android 4.3) and worked. The problem is, after that, i installed X-note rom (v2.1) and i think my imei is corrupted now. When i installed x-note, it asked me if i want to make an efs backup, and i accepted. If this is the problem, does anyone know how to restore the backup made? I found it on phone memory (i know it exists) but when i go into recovery mode in cm and i click restore from /sdcard nothing happens (no files to restore). Can someone tell me how could i restore the efs backup?
P.S. I checked phone's IMEI and it starts with 0049.

Alright so what is the back up extension ? Is it efs.IMG? Is it 20 KB ?
Please note that restoring efs backup has nothing to do with CWM recovery, its a program you download on PC that backs up and restores your device.
With regards,

Hi! My efs file is .tar and it is <1kb, somewhere around 20 bytes. When i open it, it doesn't show any items in the archive.

Hello guys, hope that someone could help me.
I had a 4.4.2 rom (note4neo 2.0) and i wanted to try 5.1.1 so first of all i mad a full Nandroid Backup through TWRP and also a titanium bkp. Later on i installed lollipop original rom through ODIN and everything was ok. I then followed a guide from Noble Rom for rooting and installing TWRP. Everything went ok, but i had problems with some rooting app (like titanium) and so i decided to revert back to 4.4.2.
At first I rebooted into recovery, made a full wipe (even system) then restored previously backup. Seemed to be ok, but then when rebooted it stucks on boot logo (i left booting for 28 minutes, so....).
Then i tried to wipe cache, dalvik and data and reboot again: no changes.
I then decided to reflash previously twrp (the one that i used for bkp). Flashes went ok, but i have "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message on the top (even with the lollipop twrp: maybe is this the key of my problem?!?).
Restoring backup from older twrp didn't work as well...
Of course i can enter both Download and Recovery mode.
Now i flashed back the original 5.1.1 through ODIN in order to go back to original lollipop and see what u guys can tell me to do to restore backup i made..
Thank you very much for your help
I was thinking that maybe i should flash a stock 4.4.2 before restore the backup...
Now i'm downloading it and see what happens...tell me if i may be right
Yes you should first restore a 4.4.2 firmware before flashing TWRP and then you'll be able to restore your backup

Update: Flashed 4.4.2, all ok. Then rooted, twrp and all ok again
After i restored Backup and stuck on boot.
Then i made again all the steps: STOCK, ROOT, TWRP, then Base version of the Rom and all ok.
At this point i was thinking it was done and restoring would have been just fine...unfortunatley it doesn't. Stuck on boot again.
So i reflashed the Base version of the mod rom and: it started with my restored app Btw i'm encountering problems like no home button, no volume icon, no settings shortcut. Now i made a cache and dalvik wipe but problems still remain..
Any idea?
After some attempts to solve those problems i stucked again on boot..
So now my plan is to: Flash STOCK rom, Root, Twrp, Base mod rom (everything always ok so far) and then restore JUST DATA from backup... Not touching system and boot should let the rom works just fine...at least i hope so :'D
Ok, as i was expecting the problem is solved. I did not restored System and Boot and all apps works just fine. Even though i miss some settings i made now i'm happy to be 90% back to origin ^^
Well alright, your solution will probably help other people in your situation. I presume your porblem is solved, if so you can add [SOLVED] in your first post in the title.
