Have you tried to flash a different ROM instead of only restoring a backup?
Maybe this thread can help you?

i already tried to flash a different ROM, and if it says the installation was successful
it still wont start up and blocks
You can possibly install stock rom through odin again
i have tried many times like you
cause I want to install custom rom but can not wipe dalvik cache so it just doesnt work to flash a new rom... I ALSO cant restore the recent backup , only the backup long time ago can be restored
Have you convert your internal from rfs to ext4? Which recovery do you use?

I do work with it , I have the 5.0.2.8 version
This question has been answered by the second post, to keep things short if you want to flash a rom you need to mount /preload and /data from within CWM
Hello, sorry if there is another thread like this.
I tried to install Lite Rom v2.8 on my GT-I8160
I am not really a beginner (i have a HTC myself) but the information on the rom thread is kinda... not available ^^''
The GT-I8160 is running 4.1.2 I8160XXMG2 (stock kernel and rooted) with CWM6 on the external SD card (no clue why it doesn't permanently install itself, i guess it has to do with the fact that the phone is running a stock kernel?) i tried to install the rom within CWM (install zip from SD card) but it is stuck on repeating the boot animation ._. it works after recovering the backup though. Does someone know what i did wrong?
I think you didn't mount preload. Try to flash Lite Rom 2.8 again and in Cwm mount system, preload and data before flashing the Rom.
Tell me if it worked

Sounds odd, it's not hard to tell the updater-script to mount preload as well, instead of having to do it manually
Anyways, our system space is limited, so a lot of the apps are installed in preload/symlink/system/app first and then symlinked from system/app.
So ive rooted my phone and installed this ROM(clean install, factory reset and format /system in recovery before) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2671363
Im trying to mount system as R/W with different ways, and cant get it to happen. I tried clicking it in root explorer, using commands, tried root browser, FX file explorer(+root addon) and some other apps, cant copy anything on system ;(
I think somehow im not permitted to mount and no app will solve this. Can unlocking bootloader help? what can be wrong?
please help

I think i did mount it in CWM, but i want to move files from storage to /system and after mounting system in CWM i still cant move files when i reboot to system and try using apps.
attached me mounting system? I think, never done it before. As i entered recovery, clicked mount /system when the unmount /system appeared i rebooted system since i cant see how to move files in recovery.
The rom doesn't properly disable sony ric, it seems. Using dualrecovery should fix it but I don't know if you can just flash it over the rom. You need to ask the developer.

Sadly cant contact developer via PM or post in ROM development thread. (getting those 10 posts can be a barrier for a lurker like me )
What exactly do you mean by using dualrecovery (just installing/flashing it?), im ready to try, i reflashed rom few times anyway, and im ready to go back to stock rom if neccesary i have time and almost remember root process at this point anyway, it goes hella fast.
Edit: flashed dualrecovery, WORKS! Many thanks, now ill try somehow contact dev if its fine with his ROM
Based on @ninekaw9 's original script from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52989641
I ported this for the N7105 and T889
Please read the post fully before trying this.
This file basically reduces the space assigned to cache and preload partitions and reassigns that extra space to your internal sdcard.
What is preload?
Used for storing Samsung's pre-loaded bloatwares like some wallpapers and "Wonders of Nature" video that you find on your phone after a factory reset or after buying a new phone.
Reducing the cache partition:
Cache basically stores the apps from Google play while they are downloading and the rest of it is used for storing OTA updates.
The OTA updates from Samsung and big in size and hence cache has 1GB of size to store those big updates.
So basically I reduced the cache size from 1GB to 100mb because Kitkat is the last update for Note2 afaik and the phone would be out of OTA service after Kitkat.
Won't reducing cache size break some other things?
No. It won't. As I have still kept 100mb in the cache that would be fine for playstore downloads.
Can I return to stock partition size after doing this?
Yes. Find the .pit file for your device and flash stock firmware through odin alongwith the pit file.
Or if you want a flashable zip for returning to stock partitions see post #2
What you need to have to Re-partiton
Philz recovery installed (latest version)for t889.
Note that TWRP WONT WORK as it doesn't have some binaries for partitioning.
Nandroid backup or a rom zip file in your external sdcard is a must.
Backup your internal sdcard as it will be formatted in the process.
Procedure :
1.Boot into philz recovery
2.Flash the file which is linked here.
Partition_N7105/T889_16GB_model_only
After flashing the recovery will automatically reboot.
3.Next you will see some mounting errors. Don't worry. Just go to mounts and storage and do this
Format /data
Format /system
Format /sdcard0
Format /preload
Please don't format /boot /modem or /sdcard1.
4. So after formatting it's all done. Now you can restore nandroid or flash a new rom.
5. If you are having issue restoring your nandroid backup then read this post and do exactly what he says
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53207492
Note: You can still flash bootloaders and modems from odin after doing this re-partioning. No need to flash with pit file.
However if you want to flash a full rom from odin then pit file is required.
All credits to @ninekaw9 and @forumber2 for their original scripts. You guys are awesome ?

Reverting back to stock partitions is easier now.
Just flash this zip

Are you on 4.3 bootloader?
On 4.1.2 bootloader I get 11.97GB
Are you running AOSP? Did you use the zip file for AOSP from the second post?
I run w03slimkat, the AOSP zip also reduces system partition to 1g
I don't know if it matters, I am on 4.1 bl.
smeet.somaiya said:
For AOSP users only.
System slimmed down to 1Gb so you get a total of 14.2GB of user available space on your phone.

Gotcha. Looked at your screen again and definate AOSP rom. I seen about the other partition for AOSP download but it would be too small for touchwiz base.
Thanks though, now I realized how you got more space.
Sorry guys, forgot to add the AOSP thing here. But it's there on n7105 thread. I will add it here when I get time.
By the way it doesn't matter what bootloader you have. The partitions and their name and size remain the same irrespective of the bootloader.

Hi noob here I flashed the repartition zip a few months ago and recently I was messing with my phone trying to convert to f2fs and got stuck in a recovery bootloop so I had to Odin back 2 stock but forgot about the pit file I needed when flashing with Odin and now no matter what I do I can't get /cache to mount at all anymore. I am using twrp 2.8.1 as current recovery at the time I was using Phil's. Any ideas on how I can get /cache to mount?
Any help would b appreciated.
I was thinking of flashing the stock partition zip but I don't think it will do anything since /cache is not mounted.
