Note isn't restoring from backup

I had to go to stock via odin because my backups weren't working(they always have before) after I flashed PACman rom and didn't like it. Once I got back to stock I tried restoring from my backups again and they don't get an error or anything but after I restart the phone is still completely clean without any of my data restored on to it. What do? Thanks
Edit: When it gets to restoring data it says .android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.

Sounds like a corrupt backup, you may be SOL. I could be wrong though and someone else will chime in. Good luck.

It's not a corrupt backup. They've all worked previously.

Maybe you could try reinstalling the custom recovery in Odin.

I have tried that and I've tried both my backups from twrp and cwm

Are you sure that the backups were able to fully restore previously?

[Q] CWM Warning No File_Contexts

Hi,
I have the Google Play Edition rom installed on T-Mobile Galaxy S4. I have accidentaly deleted the Clockworkmod folder from the internal storage. Now I can reboot in CWM recovery however on the main CMW screen I see a "Warning: No File_Contexts".
Should I be worried about this? Will I able able to flash a different rom, do and restore a nandroid back up with this warning?
If not what should I do to make the warning disappear?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance...

Are you using the original cwm? If so you can download Rom manager from the market .and if your using another version of cwm that was developed by one of xda developer then yes you would need to use Odin to reflash.

Thanks, I'm using original CWM. I was able to do nandroid back up without issues and then successfully flashed a ROM as well as mods.
I did see in one of the thread that quite a few people encountered that issue but they just ignored it, which is what I did.
Thanks again for your help

I also get this no file_contexts error.
I updatet from CMW 6.0.3.3. to CMW 6.0.3.6 via ROM Manager. Than I reinstalled 6.0.3.6 again to see if error goes away, but this error is still there.
But it seems that error does not have an effect.

Yeah I just got my phone yesterday, and I've had this problem every time I've booted into CWM Recovery. I updated, tried different versions - didn't matter, still get the "no file_contexts" error.
I even tried TWRP and OUDHS Recovery, and had the same issue. I don't know what exactly is causing it, but it hasn't really negatively affected anything that I can see.

Just ignore it. Everything works fine.

i can't make a nandroid, so i just mounted whatever can be mounted and retried it. the same error still appears, but was able to make a nandroid backup successfully already.

Don't worry about it. Just about every current cwr for every phone has this "error". Just a harmless bug

yep, I get the same thing too, tho I've never seen a problem in the functionality of CWM

but has anyone found out what the error message means?

I have the same error message and I have no problem making nandroid backups. I always check the option bank up to external sd card. It works perfectly fine. Also flashes go just fine too. Don't worry about the error message. Not sure but I think saying no files are backed up to INTERNAL storage which is fine because you generally want them stored on your EXTERNAL sd storage anyway. If they went to internal you would loose most of your phones memory with a few backups. So don't worry. All is well. Just store your nandroid to external sd card. When its time to restore simply choose backup from EXTE R NAL sd card. So don't worry about that message. Hope this helps

the error message is gone in CWM 6.0.4.4.

IMEI valid still no Data after flashing CM

Just came back to twiz after using CM11 for a couple weeks. Odin to 4.1.2 then flashed 4.3 with twrp recovery. Right now I have an IMEI number, but no internet access, no bluetooth mac address and obviously no ip address. Wifi works perfectly, tried removing sim and restarting and all that. Wondering what I can do to fix this? Odin again? Also when I try to access mobile networks under connections, it shows a error "insert sim card to access netowork services"

Btw I didn't restore imei, it was already got. Also didn't want to make new post but trying to edit in stop was causing fc

Your APNs could be faulty. Better Do Factory Reset in Recovery then wipe Dalvik + Cache then re-flash your CM again. First thing to do after that is check your Access Point Names in Settings >Advanced > Access Point Name

Did you flash the 4.3 modem?

Wifi Tether

Okay before anyone jumps me, I have searching for weeks on this. I tried various provision files and all have gave me the force close in settings. I tried that Trev E mod wifi tether app also. I can not get this thing to tether now. It worked fine when I was on ATT with a family plan, now I am using a NET10 plan. Phone is running 4.3. Is there no tethering hack anymore?

I'm using Skynote AIR and tethering is working for me no problem.
Not sure what Rom you on, or if your completely stock??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk

If you are on stock I have something that will work. I'll try and have something that can be CWM flashed tonight.

Try this
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407576267
I'm running Stock MK6 4.3 on ATT. Worked fine for me.
All it is doing is replacing the TetheringProvision.apk under /system/app.
If you don't want to flash the file above, download apk from here.
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407566502
You will then need to manually put it into /system/app and change permissions.

So anyone try these yet ??

Thanks, I'm gonna test right now. I am on the rooted stock 4.3 rom posted on here in December.

If I manually do it, I will still need adb to change permissions, right?

Yes. But the CWM flash works fine also. I know for a fact this apk works. Been using it for months.
Was just curious if someone had tried the flash. You can download, unzip it and go to the updater-script and check out what it does.

I can't get the permissions to change. I will try to flash it but I have twrp recovery right now. How would I go about flashing it with cwm? If I put the zip on my sd card and go into cwm recovery, just select install from zip file option?

should work fine flash Just like a Rom
Sent from my GT-N7105 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Alright, I flashed it with TWRP and it was successful. I booted up my phone and got a message saying that teatherprovision tried to access a secured area and wad blocked. My phone the tried to update the security policy. I then tried to turn tethering on get an error saying unfortunately tether provision has stopped. The phone then said gave me the same nessage about being blocked from accessing a secure area without authorization. So it did not work. Do you happen to have the stock tetheringprovision file or any other ideas? Maybe the permissions arent right but I'm at work and not sure of the commands off the top of my head if I can even change them on the phone.

Are you rooted ?? Sorry I didn't ask first. And do you want to be? If you run the latest version it will turn off Knox.
You are definitely running 4.3 because Knox came up and said whatta doing dude?
Have you ever done anything to your phone?
Did you rename the original or just replace?
If so, I'm working on posting the oriignals

I do not have knox. Im using the rooted 4.3 stock rom with the hacked bootloader mj4 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589891. So maybe the permissions weren't set right when flashing?

If you go to the web site on your first screen shot
www.samsung.com/us/secureandroid
That reeks of Knox.
And security policy messages/warnings are Knox related.
Go to Settings, find About Phone.
Near the bottom of About Phone ..... What does SELinux status say? Or is there one?
**********************
The ROM you are on is the first one I ever tested the file on.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I think I got it. So you are rooted. Go to apps, open SuperSU. it should prompt you to update. After it does it should ask you to disable Knox.

Ok I went into SuperSU and it asked me to disable knox like you said. After doing that and rebooting, it still says Enforcing under SE for Android. I don't understand the disable know prompt though. I was under the impression that there was no way to disable know so thats why I had to flash the hacked mj4 bootloader. Can you clear this up for me? I am going to try to flash the tetherprovisions again since I am still the error when trying to turn the hotspot on.

If so, you can't do that. Use titanium backup or helium for backing up your apps and data

No I was runing cm11 and I wanted to go back to stock android so I did a nandriod backup before I flash anything. Now running cm11 i reboot into Cwm recovery and restore my backup image on my s4 which was TouchWiz 4.4.2 and when it reboot on, I unlock the phone and the pop-up keep showing up like every 5 second. So I can't do nothing because of this pop-ups

OK but I mean the nandriod backup is a image of my phone like how it was when I first root it, so if my phone go brick I can boot into recovery and restore my phone back to how it was before.

You are using a device not officially supported by the Paranoid Android team, post in the Paranoid Android forum section, to get help going back to stock from cm11?
