i think i forgot to wipe cache & slavik before i flashed the custom rom
if i will do it now there is a chance i will lose my IMEI or S/N because of it?
i already lost my IMEI twice and i cant take a chance of losing it again

No, it'd not cause any problem. Just take the EFS bakup (You haven't did it before?), and then feel free to do anything on your own. And man, It's Dalvik Cache not salvik.

Try it with philz recovery, you'd found an option under 'Backup and restore >> Custom backup to sdcard0 / 1', you've to uncheck all options except efs (because it flags a caution/warning there that efs backup must be made seperately).
Otherwise try backing up your efs content with Dr.Ketan's mutitool, download: http://d-h.st/wgy

i guess i will do it with Philz
anyway i dont have my phone atm so i cant try that
the reason im thinking i didnt wiped cache is because it's take quite a while for the phone to boot up

I mean when you wipe the cache then it optimises apps for only once, thereafter it'd not needed until you tried to do it. And comin' to point it'd not stuck at boot, it flags, after rebooting action on screen that 'Optimising apps xxx from xxx'. And this definately done if you are used your current rom for a while.

It does man, maybe you wasn't looking at the phone. And it is no. of applications dependent so for time it'd take less for less apps. I just want to know how you are in need to Wipe cache?

I have a strange problem with my One X, the device freezes once the phone is been locked for a while. When I unlock it, the phone freezes on the lock screen or sometimes it just black out. I am using the ARHD rom at the moment. I have tried flashing the whole thing again, but that didnt work. Please help btw, the problem doesnt exist while charging.
well, try to do a nandroid-backup, do a full wipe and look if your problem still exist.
If not restore the nandroid, backup your apps + their data with Titanium Backup, then do a Full-Wipe again and restore your apps + their data but DON'T restore system data

I encrypted my Galaxy W a few months back, and am now considering flashing a new ROM. I've looked into the process for other devices on this forum and am getting a bit confused by it!
Can I use CWM to wipe the phone as usual? I've used CWM to make a back-up of the phone to the SD card (which isn't encrypted). In the future can I restore this back-up?

which i know is you can decrypt your phone by performing a "factory data reset". That same as Wipe Data on CWM. The conclusion is you can use CWM to wipe your phone as usual. You can restore backup too, but dont forget to do Full Wipe before.
That's just my thoughts. I never encrypt my phone before.
Sorry for my bad english.

I was thinking about it last night and decided that it should be possible to do this. The wipe is simply erasing the data, and it doesn't matter whether it was encrypted or not to do this.

CM9 rc6. I've tried it with some CM10 ROMS before and, like you said, got error messages. It took about an hour with my ROM and I haven't noticed any performance issues. If you want any more information about it, let me know.
Can someone please help. Running a rooted GS4 4.3. Made a backup with Rom Manager. was trying some zips to try and get WALLET with tap and pay working, well no go. so I did a full wipe, then booted into recovery and restored the back up I had. Now everything just force closes, making the phone pretty much unusable. There is no Fix Permissions in RM 6.0.2.2 to see if that will help. can someone please help!!!
Thank you

Try this, before you restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery wipe data, system, cache, dalvik cache
and last but not least do a "factory reset".
Once that's done go a head and restore the nandroid backup in cwm recovery.
There is a very good chance it will work just fine after doing that.
Good luck!

Ok so now in CWM Touch i cannot see my backup. I can see it when I'm in Rom Manager though. I did make a copy of the backup via Rom Manager server and saved it to my computer. How do I restore this back to my phone so CWM can see it.
This really sucks. I can not figure out how to get my backup into the secure section /mnt/shell/emulated/clockworkmod/backup. I tried to manually put it there using Root Explorer, but that doesnt work.. Really need help here.

Maybe try to restore from Rom Manager. Maybe it will restore through their server the same way you backed up. Just a thought.Good luck.

I have the Premium. It is only one way it looks like. It makes a Zip file, which from my research, is a flashable zip. However i try to flash it and it fails;

I think you have to flash it through your CWM recovery. Try to boot into recovery and hit install.Seems there's a backup and restore function through Rom Manager.
You may want to reflash your kernel too, just for the heck of it.

I'm rooted on my Galaxy S3. Last month I made a backup through TWRP recovery. Yesterday when I restored to the backup, the restore wasnt complete. I tried to restore again and I encountered the same incomplete restore. My customized settings in the apps were gone and some of the apps I had backed up weren't included in the restore. Looks like something got messed up.
I then wiped cache, Dalvik, data and system. I even formatted the phone. I also did a factory reset. This messed up my phone so I installed a new rooted stock rom. So now, the phone is slow as hell and apps arent very responsive. Everything is laggy and slow. And the play store and youtube have slow connection speeds.
What should I do to fix this stupidity??
Did you try restoring a stock ROM via Odin?
I had the same thing happen before. Odin with a stock rom is all that fixed it for me.

Yes I did. But Playstore downloading speed and wifi speed are slow as hell. What do you suggest?
Are you downloading over WiFi or cellular data network? The phone is running the latest rom without root? After flashing, you you immediately go to b recovery and do a full wipe?

Yes I'm downloading over wifi and its slow. The phone is laggy too. Its running JB with root. I tried a full wipe of dalvik, cache and data or system. It doesnt help.
This is really strange because a factory reset usually does the trick.
This may be a redundant question but was the phone flashed with the correct ROM? I see different variations of the T999 on sammobile.com's website.

Hi audit.. Its not a dumb question at all. The rom was the correct one for my phone. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Its possible that my phone fell and maybe that caused damage maybe.
Not only that but restoring bsckups through TWRP doesnt yield perfect restores. All my restores have not been complete. Customized settings all returned to default and apps were rearramged differently.
Anyeay, just to make sure, how can I do a proper wipe without wiping out my custom settings and apps? Do I just wipe dalvik, cache and system?
You would wipe dalvik and cache only.
Wiping data wipes apps.
Wiping system wipes the rom.

Thanks for a speedy reply. Can you explain why my backuo restores through TWRP dont yield perfect restores? Custom settings return to default and apps are arranged differently.
I am not sure why that happens but I have used twrp on several phones, including the lg g2, nexus 4, note 3, htc one x, and Samsung tab without issue. Maybe you need to do a full wipe before restoring? Does the phone have the latest twrp?

Hi audit. Yes the phone has the latest TWRP. I downloaded it from the play store yesterday.
I got an important question. I backed up my rom a few days through TWRP as I said. Is it possible to open up the backup on my laptop and search for specific pics? I dont want to restore the rom, since as I stated, I have problems doing so. I just need to get those pics. Is this possible?
I am not sure but it is worth a try.
Humour me but is the twrp 2.8.7?

Thats right, current version is 2.8.7.0.
I don't know why it doesn't restore properly. Maybe try re-flashing twrp from Odin? Can't really think of anything else.

You download the tar file for d2att, open Odin, put phone into download mode, put the tar file in the pda box, and flash.

Wait, when you say the tar file for d2att you mean the TWRP file, right? Hope thats what you mean because the way you describe it, it sounds like instructions on flashing the whole rom.
Where do I get the tar file for the TWRP app?

Hey,
So im currently on holiday and dont get back home until the 13th aug.
I was on my phone last night until i ran out of battery and the phone inevitably died. I charge it this morning and the phone is stuck on the boot animation and has a slowly flashing blue led. I do get past the lg bootloader unlocked screen too and the android boot animation runs fine, just never completes. My phone is running bootloader unlocked, twrp recovery and the imperium rom. My model is h815 and s/n is 512 prefix. The battery was running pretty bad so it might be that. Either way it is stuck in bootloop and i am not sure how to approach it. I also have some internal storage that would need backing up if possible.
Cheers for any help
That's a common issue with Imperium ROM, check post #3341 in this thread for example. Just do a clean flash and your system is back again, but sadly you will lose the apps and settings.

Thats interesting, never thought of that. I should be able to backup any files etc from the internal storage using adb right?
Simply dont wipe internal storage, only wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. THe files on your Internal storages not gonna' deleted, just reinstall the apps you had.

Another problem is that i cant boot into twrp recovery using the buttons. It brings me to the stock recovery asking to factory reset. I guess i could just wait until im home and use adb to boot into the twrp recovery.

Yep. That's what it looks like for me too. When you select factory reset, the phone actually restarts into TWRP.
Make sure you actually do have TWRP installed otherwise it will wipe your phone.
You have a custom ROM installed so I assume competence, but there's always a chance

Yeah i saw that post and was reluctant to do so as im on my holiday. Dont want to lose my pics either, even when im very sure twrp is installed correctly as i use the quick boot app to go into recovery quite often.
