I tried flashing a rom into my phone.
It didn't work and I wanted to restore from the backup I made from TWRP.
I restored my original OS from TWRP, and it's booting up to it, but once it gets to my lockscreen and after a minute or so, it reboots. This happens every single time. Does anyone have any ideas of what to do?
Something is false with backup I would say.
Flash stock firmware, root it again and then play with custom rom again.
Since, I'm relatively new at flashing. I just want to make sure I am doing this correct.
So I can get the stock firmware from this site:
lgg3root (turns out I can't post the url yet since I'm a new user)
Then I would have to choose the ADB sideload option in TWRP since there would be no other way for me to flash it correct?
Also would flashing the stock firmware delete everything in my internal storage?

could someone post a file of their nandroid backup of the stock rom? flashable thru twrp please.
I tried flashing the OTA on a stock rooted rom with twrp installed and my phone didn't like that. (rookie mistake:silly now any restore, rom flash, wipe, ect . will not work and my phone boots straight into TWRP every time. So if you could give me your nandroid backup w/o any data, or if you have a better solution please give me that. thanks!

We need more details really.
But if you can get into recovery, have you tried a factory reset? Then reboot.
We need to know your TWRP version, (KK or not), What ROM you were on prior, and what ROM's have you flashed since.

I was on the latest snapshot of CM11 and then i flashed LS970ZV9_DEODEX_STOCKROOT_1_13.zip
then i got the normal notification for the available OTA update (ZV9>>ZVB i believe) and i forgot that OTA's and custom recoveries don't work well together.
So I've literally wiped everything except for sd/data/media (or what ever holds all your photos and music ect) and I've tried restoring ALL my backups, nandroid wont ever work...
I believe installing a new recovery MIGHT work although I've tried two different versions of TWRP i had on my phone. (current TWRP v2.6.3.0)
Requesting:
1. Someone's NANDROID backup zip file with no data, obviously
2. CWM recovery for LS970 (lg optimus g) sprint
3. Drivers for XP PC to be able to access file system of my Optimus G

If you are on a stock rom you should be able to use freegee through the play store and it can install CWM if that's what you want.
Have you tried reflashing a stock rom? Why did you flash the zv9 when the zvc is available? I would try flashing that in recovery, twrp should flash it.
There are a few other options as well. Check the brick recovery thread and it will lead you to a teeny bin, you can use the programs that are suggested there and it will flash a recovery and unlock.

I think you can also use fastboot to flash a different recovery and unlock.

Yeah i tried reflashing all the roms i have on my phone and i tried the ZVB/C stock (deodexed) rom and they both failed flashing.
ZV9 was the only success until i tried that OTA. I'm downloading the CWM recovery zip file right now to flash in TWRP. could you tell me how i could move that file to my phone within TWRP? I have trouble finding out how to access the file system from my computer when my phone is in TWRP
Thanks for the quick replies!:good:

That's what we needed to know.
I think the issue is your modem. ZV9 is for ICS. ZVB/C is for JB/CM/AOSP
So if you still have your recovery or any unlocked recovery, flash the ZVC modem from the teeny bin thread. Then I would suggest a Stockish Rom. That should get you going.
Hello
I'm relatively new to Android an have never done any rooting or flashing custom ROMs. I'm looking for something where I can fully back up my device with the system so in case something goes wrong I still have my original ROM. When I searched for ways to backup Android I found lots of ways where you can backup your media but none where the actual OS is missing. All I want to prevent is basically ending up with no OS at all, how can I make sure.
Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 SM-T700, Touchwiz, unrooted
Well if anything does go wrong you can download your firmware for your device and flash it with Odin on your PC but putting your tab s into download mode. Also to backup your ROM as it is, you would have to install twrp for your device. To find out how search it on google on how to install it on your device with the right model of your device. After you installed twrp, boot into twrp recovery and hit backup and check each box you would like backup. Then slide the slider and it should backup everything. I can tell you how to install twrp recovery and I'm not sure if it requires root. Hope this helps. And the downloadable Roms are on sammobile
I am just tired of wiping, trying a new rom, setting it up, finding problems too big to live with and repeating the process. So I used TWRP to put my backed up system back on the phone but when it boots up tons of things are missing. Google apps are all gone, no root. Did I do something wrong? I backed up all the tick boxes when I made my backups, yet so much is missing?
Flash th stock through odin. Then flash twrp and this time restore only data from nandroid.

Thanks. I did flash my original firmware just now via odin, but I thought that would resolve my encryption problem. I made a thread about it here, I don't know if you could chime in on that thread if you have any ideas on my new issue?

[SOLVED]
Hello guys, hope that someone could help me.
I had a 4.4.2 rom (note4neo 2.0) and i wanted to try 5.1.1 so first of all i mad a full Nandroid Backup through TWRP and also a titanium bkp. Later on i installed lollipop original rom through ODIN and everything was ok. I then followed a guide from Noble Rom for rooting and installing TWRP. Everything went ok, but i had problems with some rooting app (like titanium) and so i decided to revert back to 4.4.2.
At first I rebooted into recovery, made a full wipe (even system) then restored previously backup. Seemed to be ok, but then when rebooted it stucks on boot logo (i left booting for 28 minutes, so....).
Then i tried to wipe cache, dalvik and data and reboot again: no changes.
I then decided to reflash previously twrp (the one that i used for bkp). Flashes went ok, but i have "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" message on the top (even with the lollipop twrp: maybe is this the key of my problem?!?).
Restoring backup from older twrp didn't work as well...
Of course i can enter both Download and Recovery mode.
Now i flashed back the original 5.1.1 through ODIN in order to go back to original lollipop and see what u guys can tell me to do to restore backup i made..
Thank you very much for your help
I was thinking that maybe i should flash a stock 4.4.2 before restore the backup...
Now i'm downloading it and see what happens...tell me if i may be right
Yes you should first restore a 4.4.2 firmware before flashing TWRP and then you'll be able to restore your backup

Update: Flashed 4.4.2, all ok. Then rooted, twrp and all ok again
After i restored Backup and stuck on boot.
Then i made again all the steps: STOCK, ROOT, TWRP, then Base version of the Rom and all ok.
At this point i was thinking it was done and restoring would have been just fine...unfortunatley it doesn't. Stuck on boot again.
So i reflashed the Base version of the mod rom and: it started with my restored app Btw i'm encountering problems like no home button, no volume icon, no settings shortcut. Now i made a cache and dalvik wipe but problems still remain..
Any idea?
After some attempts to solve those problems i stucked again on boot..
So now my plan is to: Flash STOCK rom, Root, Twrp, Base mod rom (everything always ok so far) and then restore JUST DATA from backup... Not touching system and boot should let the rom works just fine...at least i hope so :'D
Ok, as i was expecting the problem is solved. I did not restored System and Boot and all apps works just fine. Even though i miss some settings i made now i'm happy to be 90% back to origin ^^
Well alright, your solution will probably help other people in your situation. I presume your porblem is solved, if so you can add [SOLVED] in your first post in the title.

Yes, it's solved I'll mod the title
For context, I want to clear up a few things before trying to root so I don't end up bricking the phone.
So after reading a few threads it seems even recovering via twrp is messed up in this phone. Can someone shed some light on this matter?
Can I restore system, data, and boot partitions via twrp in case something goes wrong (while staying on official miui roms everytime, I don't intend to install custom roms) and I have to revert the phone back to the state it was in at the time of a backup?
It feels like at the very least we would be required to re-flash the entire firmware via mi flash tool and then restore whatever is needed via twrp later. Will this work?
Also I hear using twrp to install the official firmware is not a good idea, what's that about?
I know long post and a lot of questions, so please bear with me.
Thanks.
Custom ROMs and Stock ROMs differ in one aspect, which partitions are left untouched. Since stock ROM is a lot more invasive and formats all partitions, official flash method is recommended.
When you mess things up, mi flash tool is safest option. Its safe to experiment, backup, restore on boot+system+data in TWRP across ROM installs but don't mess up recovery partition. Remember to format data between ROM installs unless dirty flashing on same android version
