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.

Okay, I was on AOKP M4 and I wanted to upgrade to M5.
So I backup everything and make a backup of my ROM. I wipe the phone and caches and flash M5 with the GAPPS, with the latest CWM touch recovery. When my phone reboots I notice I have the same wallpaper as before and when I unlock my phone my pin is still requested and all of my apps and settings stayed exactly the same. I was never asked to sign into my Google account and the start up/set up screen never came up. I checked to see if I even updated and yes I was on M5. Now the ROM isn't very fast or smooth and I get a lot of force closes and things not working properly.
I tried the whole process again with the CWM non-touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and all my apps and setting remained exactly the same.
I tried it again with the TWRP touch recovery, and again my phone did not fully wipe and everything was the same and my phone remains kind of slow and I'm getting a lot of force closes.
Why is my phone not fully wiping? What can I do to fix this?
I would really appreciate some help!
you need to wipe factory / data.
wiping cache and dalvik doesn't wipe "/system/etc etc etc"
1. Wipe Factory
2. Wipe Data
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Flash Kernel
for full wipe.

Yes, that is what I'm doing. I'm wiping factory/data and I'm still having the same problem
Like with the TWRP recovery, I went to wipe, I hit factory reset, then cache, then dalvik cache and then flashed the ROM and GAPPS and all my apps and settings stayed the same. It was like if I had dirty flashed it. I don't understand what's going on.

***FORMAT /SYSTEM*** (under mount in CWM I believe)

What does that do exactly? Would I have to worry about my media and sd card being wiped?

Okay thank you, I guess this time in TWRP I'll do factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and system and see if it works out
Okay, so I did factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, and format system.
I flashed M5 and GAPPS, rebooted and everything was still the same. My phone did not fully wipe.
I don't understand what's going. I'm so frustrated right now

I would do a factory reset, if that doesn`t help flash a stock rom and root your phone again. BTW don`t you have a nandroid backup to revert to

I have a nandroid backup, but that doesn't solve the problem of my phone not wiping.
I guess I'll unroot my phone and lock the bootloader and re-do everything to see. I don't understand why my phone isn't wiping correctly.
sometimes cwm just doesnt work with factory wipe. i've used it a few times now and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. i have no idea why. you can try doing a factory wipe from the phone settings>backup and reset. ive only done that twice but it worked both times. if that still doesnt work just go with a fresh flash of google images using fastboot.

Init.d folders can only be wiped with a factory reset afaik, or manualy off course. By locking and unlocking the phone you perform a factory reset anyway, so i would flash a stock rom and start fresh. No chance on left files or scripts. You can do it with GNex Toolkit, option 8. Put the downloaded and not extracted .tgz file here C:\Galaxy Nexus ToolKit\put_google_factory_image_here and flash.
Thanks guys, I'll try that!
I Have TWRP 2.0 And When I Go To Install Any Other Rom Besides The Stock Backup I Made It Installs Fine But When I Boot Up The Rom It Stays In Bootloop Any Suggestions?
It sounds exactly like you didn't perform a "factory reset" before installing a new rom.
wipe wipe wipe
You should factory reset in twrp
the bootlooping u r facing is due to messed files of stock plus newly installed rom
first factory reset,wipe cache,dalvik cache install new rom then u will be fine

ok thanks guys I'll try that out.
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
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...
I've looked around a bit and can't quite find someone that has had my specific situation.
I have a AT&T S3 SGH-I747 that is rooted running stock 4.1.1 with CWM 6.0.4.7. I have updated the modem and bootloader (Baseband - I747UCUEMJB and Build # JRO03L.I747UCDLK3).
I have tried to flash custom and stock ROMS with CWM but get stuck on the glowing Samsung logo. I have tried to follow the instructions listed here but I cannot flash the stock ROM with ODEN.
I am not sure as to what to attempt next. I first want to be able to update to 4.3/4.4.2 and then try custom builds.
I have all my apps and data backed up with MyBackup and a Nandroid backup as well.
Thank you.
Are you wiping the cache, davilk, and data before of after flashing the ROM?
I wipe/format before the flash. I factory reset, clear cache, clear davilk, format data, and format system then flash the ROM. I've tried several combinations of clearing/formatting. The flash always goes well and then I reboot. The boot goes and then just sits at the Samsung logo (It does make the AT&T sound during this time)

Try to factory reset once the flash is done if it doesn't boot after 5-10min.
Thanks. I'll give it a shot and we'll see how it goes.
Unfortunately that tip did not appear to help. I still got stuck on the glowing Samsung logo.
I was final able to flash 4.3 using the method here using odin.
