Yesterday I tried installing Danvh's 4.4.2 Google Edition ROM and I guess it must have went wrong. I backed up my current ROM and data before the installation. I did a full wipe (davick / data / cache etc.) and I also did a format of internal SD. I installed Danvh's ROM fine but when I rebooted after the installation it will not get past Galaxy S4 screen. So I figured there was something wrong with the ROM so I flashed back to my back up but when I restart my phone it will still be stuck at the S4 screen so I have to keep flashing back to the backup file. I used TWRP 2.6.1.0 for recovery and I also fixed the permissions with TWRP. Any ideas? What should I do? If my phone ever crashes I will have to restore to my only back up.

You forgot to do a "factory reset" in twrp before restoring your Nandroid backup.
Most likely after doing that the phone will fully boot.
Be sure to wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache and
do a factory reset before restoring your backup.
Good luck!
Good luck!
Nope I did do factory reset as well...

First off sorry if this is answered in another post, lease kindly direct me to the post if it is =)
I just tried to install a second ROM from ROM Manager. I was running DCU and created a back-up in ClockworkMod before I started then installed the new Fresh ROM successfully. When I tried to go back to my first ROM via the restore point I set up it gets stuck in a boot loop. The 2nd restore point from the Fresh ROM loads up just fine.
Is there anyway to fix the older restore point and get back to DCU or should I just wipe everything and reinstall DCU...
Thanks in advanced!
do a data wipe, clear cache and dalvick
Then restore your backup. Clockwork does not seem to like certain roms.

thanks, i was able to wipe everything from the original android recovery mode and upload an old nandroid back up but from Clockwork it didnt seem to clear the dalvik cache, when i clicked clear it just went back to the last menu it never said anything in the log and when i loaded up the Clockwork backup it still didnt work :/
Long story short, I've spend the better part of 2 days trying to get my phone to working order.
I tried to flash the stock 4.0.4 rom into my phone. After I did that, the radio stopped working so i wanted to go back to my previous All-star-v7 rom that i had backup in the external sdcard.
When I was installing 4.0.4 i had to switch from CWM to TWRP to get it to install. I switched back to CWM using ODIN but now when i try to wipe the phone so i can restore a backup, it hangs up on wiping /cache and if i try to restore it hangs up on restoring cache....
What do i do? I had used the infamous super wipe and cache wipe to get the phone into 4.0.4 I think i messed up something because of using those...
update: Strangely, I can restore a backup of 2.3.6 and even though it hangs on restoring /cache. I restart the phone and it boots up to it. I also find that google play is unable to update any of my apps, it looks like it's because of the corrupted /cache. how would i fix it?
update2: i used odin to flash into TWRP 2.6.3.1 and did a cache wipe and it's stuck at "unable to open '/cache/recovery/.version'. anyone know how to fix that?
Sorry if there's already a thread for this, kind've in a slight panic and I'm relatively new to this.
I just rooted my Note 3 and everything worked, I then went to install a custom rom called Darthstalker Note3 V2 (not blaming the rom/developer)
and I followed all the steps:
Did my backup, then went into CWM
Wiped data/factory reset
Wiped my cache partition, then wiped Dalvik Cache
Went to Mounts And Storag" And Then format/system
Installed the rom from my sd card, and it said Install Complete, enjoy DarthStalker
I went to reboot my phone and its stuck in a boot loop, it just says Galaxy Note 3, screen goes black, repeat.
I have tried re-wiping the dalvik cache, but with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Go get TWRP instead. Jovy says to use it and not CWM for his rom. Grab TWRP 2.3.6.7 and repeat the process. Factory wipe and then wipe system then install the ROM. Do NOT restore a nandroid you may have taken with CWM.
Will I be able to install TWRP if I can't boot my phone? Because right now I can only get into CWM Sorry for the late reply, was at work.

power+vol. down+home will get you to bootloader & install the tar version of TWRP under PDA.
Thank you Zoth and HughesNet, got it working. Next time I'll read more details
Hey guys,
I just tried restoring my system data from my nandroid backup that made with TWRP recovery... everything went fine and then when it restarted it's just frozen on the "Samsung Galaxy S4" logo...
Any idea?
Thank you.

You have two choices to solve the problem.
#1: go into recovery and do a full wipe including Factory Reset, Wipe Cache,
Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Data and Wipe System then reboot the phone.
#2: Odin flash the official stock M919 firmware from http://SamMobile.com
Good luck!

Maybe. Its possible the backup was corrupted, which is causing the rom not to reinstall properly.
Or it could just be a fluke. Try restoring it again.
Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.
Hello everyone,
This is what is happening to me. I was trying to flash Miroslav's Cyanogenmod 11 RC2 with Philz Touch 6.07.9, but none of the recomended methods worked for me, I just got stuck on lg logo bootloop - I really want this rom but it is hard as f**k to flash -. So I tried to go back to CM 10.2.1 and got the "Status 7" error. Very frustrated, I finally used my stock recovery image and it worked fine.
From this point, i was recovering my apps and data using titanium back up and when it finished, a notification asked if I wanted the official system update. I refused it and proceded to reboot. Now the phone boots instantly to recovery mode and show the purple screen of Philz touch. First I wiped cache and dalvik and got the same bootloop. Then I wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset and got the same bootloop. Finally, I formated system, factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and flashed again my recovery image, and got again the recovery mode bootloop.
Any Ideas? Thank you for your help.
Best regards.
EDIT: I must clarify that when I flash my recovery image, it ALWAYS get suck on a part that says something like "installing android security". I have to press power button 10 seconds to restart but it boots normaly in the stock rom.

When in vain , unbrick your phone again using unbricking guide and use CWM , not all guide is working for the same type of phone . No need to wipe system clean cache watevr **** you were told unless recommended by developer and just factory reset then flash the rom

Thanks for the answer and the advice about factory reset. Yes, I had to unbrick my phone and by the way, still could not install miroslav's cm11 RC3 using Philz touch 6.19.3.
But I have another issue: I successfully got back to CM 10.2.1 but after I restored my apps using Titanium Backup, I rebooted the phone and got stuck on CM logo for half hour. I wiped dalvik and got the same result. Then wiped cache and dalvik and still stuck. What should I do? Flash again the rom? The restored data is from CM 10.2.1 so I don't see any problem....

check again what you restore, user apps will have no problem to restore but system apps will cause incompatibility to the rom and crash it

The phone is good now, I restored the stock rom and from there I flashed CM 10.2.1 just making a factory reset. Plus I flashed adreno drivers and gapps. Once it booted, I restored my apps without sistem data and now the phone works properly.
Thank you Mr.201

Glad it worked, make sure you untick 'system' in filter in titanium backup so that you can only see your user apps .
