I made a backup of a rom and when I went to restore it I went it to boot loop? So I restored again same thing so a new build came out backed up. Went to restore same thing? I restored to another rom that I had a backup of and it went through good anybody?
ur backup contains a nonnlokified recovery. if u restore, dont restore its recovery and use only one recovery system.
or let s put an other question, how did u get to the recovery before make a backup and restore? power+volup?

I always use twrp and I just hit my power button and hit recovery. Like I have done hundreds of times. I have Flashed this phone at least 50 times or more. I have backed up and restored at least 20 times. That's what is weird.

I backed everything up this morning, did a full wipe and flashed another Rom to test. Well after I was done with that Rom I wiped again and restored my back up. When I opened the app drawer every installed app I had was gone. My home screen still had a couple icons for those apps but they weren't installed.
I wiped again flashed the backup a second time with no luck. Then I tried a previous backup and had the same issue. I flashed clockworkmod recovery and tried to restore a previous backup I made with that and still had the same issue.
I'm using synergy rls 1
More freedom kernel
Used RA recovery and clockwork
All of the apps were installed on the phone so they weren't on the SD card.
Has anyone had this issue before?

It happens every time to me. Until yesterday. I backed up using recovery instead of ROM Manager and all my apps were there when I restored. I guess just make sure you back up using Recovery, not ROM Manager. Or use Titanium Backup... That always works too.
that has happened to me before as well. I always use Recovery (AmonRa) for all my backups now and also titanium.

It's weird because all of my backups are through recovery. I've never had this issue till today. No matter how many times I restore my user data doesn't show up.

that that is strange. if you look at the nandroid backup files do you see a data partition file. if so is that file big enough to suggest that contains all of your apps? maybe your recovery is not backing up any apps so there's nothing to the restore later.

All backups show they have plenty of user data. What's even more weird its that I noticed while restoring that while its doing data I can see that it is actually flashing my info. As to where that info is after I boot up is still a mystery.

Are there any clues in the recovery log?
I have Clockwordmod Recovery installed on my GSII (T989). If I do a full backup, and then flash a custom ROM/Kernel...can I just do a complete full restore if I don't like it (from the backup I made)?
Thanks!
Well there is no cyanogen recovery so that's probably why no one is replying fyi.

So I don't have to worry about losing anything? Once I restore, it will be like I never changed anything? (Almost like an image backup of a computer)?

umm...I thought CWM recovery backed up everything...including data (excluding microSD card).
So, if I restore it, it restores the original Kernel and ROM? Is that correct?
If something goes wrong, while flashing new kernels/ROMS, I can boot into recovery and just restore?
I'm already rooted, I just want to be sure before I start messing with my device.
Thaks!

you are correct the Nandroid backup built into the CWM recovery will back up everything on your phone as it is. including any ext partition on your external SD card. (will not backup your FAT partition where your normal downloads and pictures go, as this is where the backups are stored) but your ROM, all apps and their data and anything on your EXT partition (if you have one) will be backed up.
i suggest copying the clockworkmod backup folder to your computer before flashing anything else. just in case it messes up your SD card somehow.
doing the full restore will automatically restore ROM apps and data as they were when you backed up. feel free to flash as many roms as you want, just make sure to keep your backup safe. and to wipe all data in between roms as usual.
although titanium backup is amazing. and will backup apps and their data while booted inside your rom. its amazing, check it out.
Cwm backs up everthing including rom, kernel, and data. When you restore your backup it will restore your phone the way it was the moment that you backed it up.

I have TB Pro...are you saying it will back all of my apps/data up, and I can just restore it from within my new ROM?
Correct. Just use caution when trying to restore system apps.
Good.Luck!

Dude don't sorry so much!!! Super Noob!!! JK! Well not really you are never going to want stock again...just carefully flash your desired ROM.. use TB to restore all of your apps and their data. Do a nandroid back up of your current rom then one of your favorite roms after you set it up to you liking.

How can I back it up before installing a new ROM? I want to install juggernaut, but I don't want to erase all my data! Help! Please?
Go into recovery and run a backup
That will back up entire stock rom
I suggest doing this
If u want to back up ur personal data n apps use titanium backup or MyBack up pro

You are in the wrong forum buddy, this belongs in general. To answer you're question. You need to boot into recovery, under backup and restore you are going to select backup and this will create an image of your current rom or stock os. It's like taking a picture that you can restore if you don't like what ever rom you flash. It even copies text msgs and apps.

CWM saves to the SD card - which isn't touched in a factory reset
For some odd reason, when I tried to make a nandroid backup yesterday, TWRP was only able to backup the boot and the system and when it tries to backup the data part, it will show up a big red "FAIL" at the top.
I've had success in restoring and backing up nandroids before with this version of TWRP, but for some reason...it just wouldn't let me go through with the backup now. The only thing that changed between the time when nandroid backups were no problem and now is that I flashed one of the compatible boot animation for the GoldenEye ROM. I doubt it...but could that be the problem?
I also delete previous nandroid backups to make room for the new ones...just trying to give as much information as I can hahaha
Thanks in advance!
I'd try clockwork.

Yeah after trying to find the solution online with no luck, I finally flashed CWM. Thanks anyway though!

Every time I back up a ROM and then I go to b restore the ROM it restores it really fast like in 50 seconds and then I wipe cache and dalvic then reboot my phone the restored ROM is never on my phone its the ROM that I had on my phone before I restored the last, final rom.when you do a ROM back up using twrp what do I all back up.boot, recovery,system,data,cache, and efs.Do I back them all up when backing up a rom? I'm use to using cwm which automatically chooses everything that's needed. Thanks

It sounds like you only backed up Data and Boot not the system partition. Every once in a while system is not checked on the screen right before you swipe to make the backup. As a matter of fact it happened to me last night after i wiped my phone i always have a main backup and then a current one just before i don't something to my phone. In the future just make sure all 3 (Boot, System and Data) are checked before you swipe to make the backup.
When you go restore that backup, before you swipe it will show you what is being restored. If System is not in the list, then you didn't get the system backed up.
