Hello
last night I tried installing the carbon rom for my Note 2 N7100. (v1.8 Release stable build)
Everything wen't fine but I used titanium backup to backup my files and I also have a backup with CWM. I cleared all data/factory reset and wipe cache plus I installed the 4.2.2 gapps. The OS worked completely fine but when I used titanium backup to restore all apps and system data, It asks to restart which I did and when I restarted my phone the startup time took 25 minutes+ so I knew something wen't wrong. I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and data reset again but I'm still having issues. I forgot to mention I tried using titanium backup and just restoring system data and not the apps.
I decided to do a restore completely using the CWM backup then I flashed 4.3 gapps to get it back up to date. However, when I tried to startup my phone, gapps isn't working properly and keeps popping up com.process.gapps or something like that has stopped. Usually this means the wrong version of gapps is installed but I've tried reflashing it incase I had a bad flash but that didn't work either.
I'm now using carbon rom without any of my previous system data or apps.
What can I do?
Thanks

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 :/
Ok so here is my situation. I was running RootBox and decided to restore my backup of JediX. After running JediX for a bit I missed RootBox so I decided to go back and as I was restoring my back-up of RootBox TWRP said that the restore failed. So I tried booting back into the OS only to be stuck in a bootloop. So I wiped system, data, cache and dalvik and did a clean flash of RootBox and Gapps. Much to my surprise when it booted up all my apps that I had on my RootBox Nandroid were there but the system configurations were gone. Confused about my apps still being here because I know I wiped data I decided to go to the playstore and realised that even tho the play store app is there I actually do not have any Google services for example I can not even add my google account. So I thought that the RootBox nandroid must have messed something up I decided to tried restoring the previous JediX nandroid that worked ealier and yet again I was confronted by a Restore Failed message. And no matter how many times I wipe and flash I can not get any google services to stick and nor can I get a clean wipe of my device.
So after that long rant has this happened to anyone or does anyone know of any solution?
Update: Ok so Flashing TWRP 2.4.4 via Odin allowed me to flash rootbox and gapps and have the google services working properly (so far...) but still even after doing a factory reset and a fresh install once i booted up all my apps were already installed all 150+ of them... When I get back from work tomorrow I will back up everything on my PC and attempt a full wipe including internal storage
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?
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...
Hey all, never posted on here before because I've had good luck with ROMS in the past but here goes.
Haven't rooted since the 4.3 update. Rooted the other day with cfautoroot. Everything went fine. Decided to try slimrom, so I installed TWRP 2.7.0, made a backup, ect. Went to install the ROM and it gave me errors. So I restored my backup. I had a hell of a time getting past the at&t screen but I finally got it to boot. The minute I unlocked, I was bombarded by "com.processes.gapps has unexpectedly quit" among every other app telling me it failed. So I got to the backup and restore and did a factory restore. Everything seemed to be normal. So I looked online for some information on the errors. Found a forum that indicated I was using a TWRP version that was too new. So I installed 2.6.1. Because I apparently enjoy being aggravated, I did the whole process over again. The same result happened. After more research I discovered that TWRP may have been the culprit along with ROM manager. So I installed Clockwork and did the whole process AGAIN! I got slimrom to install without problems. I was able to make a backup of slimrom as well. Just to be sure, I went and did a wipe in clockwork and tried to restore the backup I made of stock. Restarted, same error messages. Every second. Did a factory restore and everything was fine. So then I did a backup again and restored my backup of slimrom. It works fine! If I try to restore the backup of stock, I get errors. What's going on here!?
What I tried:
Clearing caches and data of the apps that were throwing errors
Stopping download manager and restarting it.
Clearing cache and delvik cache in CWM
