[Q] Bootloop after data wipe - what's wrong?!

I am currently developing a stock-based ICS ROM. I have modded everything as I wanted, installed new apps, lockscreen, etc. Everything works perfectly! I would like to share my ROM with other Anzu users. I want to do it via sharing Nandroid backup. After full wipe and backup I get a bootloop, but after restoring the same ROM with my data, everything works preety fine. What do I have to do to avoid bootloop? I'm gonna make a flashable zip in the future, but now I want to share my ROM in backup. PLEASE, HELP!
Here is what I EXACTLY do:
Flash official Sony ICS via Flashtool
Root
Flash mods like lockscreen, supercharge, etc.
Mod build.prop with self-made (and not) tweaks
Change name of ROM in build.prop
Remove bloatware with for example Titanium Backup or Uninstaller Pro
Make backup
Full Wipe
Next backup
Bootloop
Restore with 1st backup WITH data, for example apps
Reboot
Everything works preety fine!
On my face appears "WTF?!" face
????????

Did you install the xperia s lockscreen from AeonWorld?
It's a known problem and he has created a zip to fix it.

[Q] Backup Stock Rooted ROM to flashable zip

Hey guys I have a stock rooted GS3 with CWM recovery.
Is there a way that I can backup the ROM or make a ROM.zip file to flash if I want to change ROMs around and then go back to stock rooted instead. I don't care for user data etc...Just want a zip thats like flashing a rom. For example I can use this zip with any other GS3 to put it on Stock Rooted with CWM.
Thanks

Use the backup option in CWM to make a nandroid backup of your current setup.

[Q] Backup done, ready for root?

Hi. I backed up my phone using the backup method found here: http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/28296/full-backup-of-non-rooted-devices
This method uses CMD and creates an android backup file (.ab) I want to unlock my bootloader and add the custom clockwork recovery. Of course unlocking the bootloader wipes everything. So if i were to restore everything with the .ab file, then do the custom recovey with the superuser thing, would that give me root, and would all of my apps and data be restored as they are right now?
Probably a stupid question, but i want to be completely 100% sure i won't mess up my phone. I know its going to void warranty, which would be a problem if i dropped it of course
Thanks

It should work yes, you can also backup apps with an app called carbon. Free in the playstore.
Then unlock the bootloader,flash a custom recovery and make a backup of the stock rom in there right away too (needed when you want to go back to full stock for future updates) its called a nandroid backup.
Then root it and restore, or install a brand new custom already rooted rom

Thanks a lot
If it was a custom rom i chose to install, will it still restore? or would it need to be the original stock for the restore to work properly?

Afaik know you can restore apps on any rom with carbon. Watch out with restoring system data, it can crash the rom.
Because some custom roms have more changes and if you restore system parts it will break the rom. But apps should not be a problem. The most important thing is that you do a nandroid backup of the stock rom. The rest is easy to setup new in the worst case.

Brilliant. Thanks for the help, much apreciated.
Was half expecting an answer like that, i think i will give root stock a go, then probably when HTC stop updating i will be very tempted to give a custom a go.
Cheers

I have unlocked the bootloader, i think i have flashed the recovery, downloaded nandroid and still says i need root, so i downloaded the superuser thing and when i try to install the binary thing it says there is an error. Anything i can do?
Update: I have learnt Its all good now.

Good mate ! Have fun with your rooted phone
CASE CLOSED !

(Stock app)

Hi people i have installed one custom room in my s6 edge and i want the stock SMS app again but i dont know how to download and intall anyone can help me?

This can be done only if you have previously taken backup of system apps or entire rom , if not than you can reinstall official rom flash it through odin then take backup of all system and after installing custom rom you can install some app from backup created secondly you can search for system dump on google for this device model..
