I'm rooted on my Galaxy S3. Last month I made a backup through TWRP recovery. Yesterday when I restored to the backup, the restore wasnt complete. I tried to restore again and I encountered the same incomplete restore. My customized settings in the apps were gone and some of the apps I had backed up weren't included in the restore. Looks like something got messed up.
I then wiped cache, Dalvik, data and system. I even formatted the phone. I also did a factory reset. This messed up my phone so I installed a new rooted stock rom. So now, the phone is slow as hell and apps arent very responsive. Everything is laggy and slow. And the play store and youtube have slow connection speeds.
What should I do to fix this stupidity??
Did you try restoring a stock ROM via Odin?
I had the same thing happen before. Odin with a stock rom is all that fixed it for me.

Yes I did. But Playstore downloading speed and wifi speed are slow as hell. What do you suggest?
Are you downloading over WiFi or cellular data network? The phone is running the latest rom without root? After flashing, you you immediately go to b recovery and do a full wipe?

Yes I'm downloading over wifi and its slow. The phone is laggy too. Its running JB with root. I tried a full wipe of dalvik, cache and data or system. It doesnt help.
This is really strange because a factory reset usually does the trick.
This may be a redundant question but was the phone flashed with the correct ROM? I see different variations of the T999 on sammobile.com's website.

Hi audit.. Its not a dumb question at all. The rom was the correct one for my phone. Everything was working fine up until a week ago. Its possible that my phone fell and maybe that caused damage maybe.
Not only that but restoring bsckups through TWRP doesnt yield perfect restores. All my restores have not been complete. Customized settings all returned to default and apps were rearramged differently.
Anyeay, just to make sure, how can I do a proper wipe without wiping out my custom settings and apps? Do I just wipe dalvik, cache and system?
You would wipe dalvik and cache only.
Wiping data wipes apps.
Wiping system wipes the rom.

Thanks for a speedy reply. Can you explain why my backuo restores through TWRP dont yield perfect restores? Custom settings return to default and apps are arranged differently.
I am not sure why that happens but I have used twrp on several phones, including the lg g2, nexus 4, note 3, htc one x, and Samsung tab without issue. Maybe you need to do a full wipe before restoring? Does the phone have the latest twrp?

Hi audit. Yes the phone has the latest TWRP. I downloaded it from the play store yesterday.
I got an important question. I backed up my rom a few days through TWRP as I said. Is it possible to open up the backup on my laptop and search for specific pics? I dont want to restore the rom, since as I stated, I have problems doing so. I just need to get those pics. Is this possible?
I am not sure but it is worth a try.
Humour me but is the twrp 2.8.7?

Thats right, current version is 2.8.7.0.
I don't know why it doesn't restore properly. Maybe try re-flashing twrp from Odin? Can't really think of anything else.

How do I reflask TWRP through odin? In doing so, would I risk losing my data, apps, etc? Is it safe?
You download the tar file for d2att, open Odin, put phone into download mode, put the tar file in the pda box, and flash.

Wait, when you say the tar file for d2att you mean the TWRP file, right? Hope thats what you mean because the way you describe it, it sounds like instructions on flashing the whole rom.
Where do I get the tar file for the TWRP app?

Guys
I wonder if i could ask how to go about removing clean rom and going back to a stock rom with Root.
I have thus far done the following.
rooted device
installed twrp
installed clean rom
I want to remove clean rom for a number of reasons.
1. I regularly get "email not responding" messages that come up every couple of hours or so.
2. The above also happens for S Planner
3. The battery usage has gone crazy - i get massive drain from around 40% which will drain to 15% in an hour or so of video watching (never happened before)
4. I get a stutter every 30 mins of video watching on MX player (streaming) - never happened before.
So to that end, id like to go back to a stock rom and keep root and freeze the bloat ware.
Any idea on what i need to wipe in TWRP before going back to ODIN to flash the ROM. Is it the following
WIPE
dalvik Cache,
Cache
System
Data
Or do not do any of this, and just flash the stock Rom in Odin?
Any clues?

When you Odin it does not wipe your data so to go truly back to day one you should wipe data. You do not have to do anything before you Odin back to stock technically. It sounds like something you have installed is the cause of your problems though. I have been using CleanRom since it was released and have had no such issues. If I were you I would flash his stock rooted rom if you do not want CleanRom.

So if i wipe data, what do i check in TWRP, before i flash the stock rom?
Just "data"
or do i do all of the following
dalvik chache
cache
system
data
Its a bit of a mine field to know what to delete and what not to.. i have no idea what the above even means!

Wipe data and then odin the factory image and you should be golden. Then set it up and reroot via chainfire's method. Here is a link to getting back to stock with a Tab Pro 8.4 which is the same process for the Note 2014. Just make sure you use a .tar image for the Note 2014 and you will be good to go.

SO when you say wipe data - you mean just tick the data box on twrp but leave everything else (ie dalvik cache, cache, system)?

You can just do the TWRP factory reset if you want. The odin flash will wipe everything but data though.

How would i clear cache, data, and all before trying to flash 2631?

No, you flash TWRP 2631, then boot into the twrp then select advance then put a check for cache, davik cache and data, then swipe. Once done just flash your rom. I would copy the rom to the download folder on the internal storage (/sdcard/download/) before flash your new twrp.
Is 2.6.3.3 more reliable / stable in terms of making / restoring nandroids? I just got my new Note last week (p607t) and flashed xKat with TWRP at one point, restoring apps from (some with data to avoid re-entering account info or redoing complex settings...) I have had one problem however, when I was almost done restoring, I noticed that I was getting fc's, particularly with games that required an internet connection. I wiped dalvik and cache in TWRP, then hit fix permissions, which I think screwed everything up (maybe due to the bootloader / firmware base mismatch). Anyway, my most recent nandroid was with the fresh xKat install, but fixing permissions caused this weird "hot"-bootloop where it skipped the boot animation but start loading immediately after rebooting, but then freezing before all boot tasks had completed (ex. some optimizations on boot with Android Tuner Pro, FolderMount mounting folders, loading xposed modules...)
Not wanting to re-restore, I first just tried dirty-flashing the ROM again (only wiped dalvik and cache, but did something I hadn't tried before: in the wipe menu I hit "repair partition" for system and data, pre-flash). Luckily it worked and set everything straight... but just want to make sure, 2.6.3.3 is still recommended as the most stable version (in my experience, fixing permissions in recovery can be very hit or miss on any version)?
2 questions before I roll back my recovery, I think these "killer features" (totally serious, #2 has been huge since I got a couple of the newish flash drives with micro usb on one side and regular usb on the other) of TWRP were implemented in 2.6.3.3, but just want to make sure: can you 1) compress nandroids and 2) mount a USB OTG drive and flash from or backup to it? Thanks all, really loving my new Note (massive upgrade from my Note 8!)

I HAVE flashed 2631 for the qualcomm lte.
I've done or several times since you told me that's the best version.
IT WILL NOT BOOT INTO TWRP. it's a scrambled screen. That's all. No touch options. No check boxes. After a minute, tablet reboots itself. I am on stock firmware still. Rooted.
Maybe I should just try CWM. never had this much problems with twrp on any other device.

How about wipe cache/davikcache/data with your stock recovery (just reflash your stock recovery). After that let it boot up, then power down and flash twrp. Once done, don't boot up, boot back to twrp . Let me know how it goes.
Cool. I can try that when I get home. Do you have a link handy for the stock recovery?

Try flashing the full stock firmware from sammobile; then boot into the stock recovery and do a full factory reset. If that doesn't work, then you may want to install a custom recovery and re-format (not wipe, but actually format) the data partition.

Even a completely stock system, I'm having problems. I've tried wiping everything (cache, dalvik ,data/factory reset ) then flashing back to the stock firmware using Odin3 v3.09, and I'm still getting errors and random rebooting.
Has my t210 bit the dust?
Seems like a lot of people are having trouble with the new updates. I would try to find an older version of the stock rom and load it thru Odin 3.7 and see if you still have the same problems.
Same thing I'm thinking but I still have hope
Did any of you all clear your cache and dalvik-cache as part of the flashing process?
The 4.4 ROM is an update to the stock 4.2. If you use a custom ROM, you will probably need to reflash stock 4.2 in order to flash 4.4.
But this tab never had 4.2 only 4.1 and I did a complete wipe before flashing anything

Hey I have a problem here.I have a dev edition Note 4. I have been running EMSpoilt's first ROM ([Rom][N910VOYU1ANI1][4.4.4] Stock Root Deodex/Knox-Free Updated 11/24/2014) for about 2 weeks now. It was running great smooth as butter until now. I tried flashing his new [Rom][N910VVRU1ANJ5][4.4.4] Stock Root Odex/Knox-Free) but my phone wouldn't boot up, it wouldn't get past the first Samsung screen just keeps restarting. I made sure to follow step by step instructions. Wiped everything but my SD card. Tried it 2 more times and nothing. Tried to wipe cache and all that. Nothing helped. So I decided to restore back to my backed up ROM. Once restored it started to act weird. My finger print scanner doesn't work and I can't download anything another than apps from app store...the phone is very glitchy and almost unusable.. almost like it has a virus. It did get pretty hot when I was flashing the ROM I hope I didn't fry anything. I tried and tried to reset things but no luck. I don't have a backup of stock Dev ROM unfortunately...is there a way to reset back to stock(out of the box state)? I still have root and TWRP recovery works fine.
Anyone help please?

If you want to get the NJ5 ROM up and running without issues I would suggest flashing the NJ5 stock restore tar file in Odin, then flash TWRP recovery in Odin. Once that is done boot into TWRP and flash SU, then flash the ROM. I was having the same issue yesterday and this fixed things for me.
+1 on what airmaxx23 has recommended. Caution: Make damn sure you ODIN the stock restore file intended for the DE, not the retail. If you just want to get back to a fully functional DE without the ROM then ODIN the stock restore file, ODIN TWRP and flash SUPERSU in recovery. You don't have to flash the ROM.

I am having problems with mine, too
After getting into trouble yesterday with a phone that stuck in Verizon logo screen, I was able to restore from backup.
Then I started noticing weird things that I believe were working a day ago.
I cannot download any email attachments, cannot create folders on sdcard, cannot install xposed or even install Fora offline dictionary files I downloaded from PlayStore. I never flashed custom ROMs on my DE, just flashed TWRP and then rooted it. I am still running original SW N910VOYU1ANI1. Screenshots and photos are saved just fine (burst shots on sdcard and regular photos on extsdcard).
Any Ideas? I've tried to restore from pre-root backup, then restored my image that has root and some applications but cannot move from there.

Here is what I would do if I were you:
1. Go into TWRP Recovery and do a complete wipe (system, data, cache, delvik). Do not select recovery.
2. While in TWRP do a factory reset
3. In TWRP, RESTORE the backup you mentioned.
4. While in TWRP clear cache and delvik again
5. Power off the phone and remove the battery
6. Replace the battery and boot
7. If the phone boots normally then power off the phone, boot into recovery and flash SuperSU (Do not try to restore any "image", just flash SuperSU.zip)
8. Reboot the phone

7. If the phone boots normally then power off the phone, boot into recovery and flash SuperSU (Do not try to restore any "image", just flash SuperSU.zip)
8. Reboot the phone

Although I did it already almost the same way multiple times since yesterday, I'll try it again.
How do I do #2 in your list from TWRP?
Thanks.

Go to "Wipe" then "Format Data" then type "yes" and hit "go". This will completely remove all data. Under "Advanced Wipe" check "dalvik", "system", "data", and "cache" and wipe those as well.
If that doesn't work you're going to have to start fresh.

When you're in TWRP and select Wipe, there will appear a "swipe bar" that when swiped will perform a Factory Reset. It is the first screen you see when you select Wipe on the home screen. Do the Factory Reset and then clear cache, delvik, system and data. You can do the Factory Reset before clearing cache etc or after clearing cache etc. It really doesn't make a difference in what order you do the Factory Reset, just do it.
If this process doesn't get you back to normal then another option is to flash the stock restore file for NJ5 availble in the Android Development Section. But, lets do the process I've outlined first.

Here is what I would do if I were you:
1. Go into TWRP Recovery and do a complete wipe (system, data, cache, delvik). Do not select recovery.
2. While in TWRP do a factory reset
3. In TWRP, RESTORE the backup you mentioned.
4. While in TWRP clear cache and delvik again
5. Power off the phone and remove the battery
6. Replace the battery and boot
7. If the phone boots normally then power off the phone, boot into recovery and flash SuperSU (Do not try to restore any "image", just flash SuperSU.zip)
8. Reboot the phone

I did everything up to the #7, then powered the phone. I am getting all bunch of errors like "com.sec.phone has stopped" and other I don't remember. It shouldn't be this way, right?
Then I powered the phone off and on again, this time I got the setup wizard without error messages and flashed SU and then installed Xposed. So far, so good. Will install couple apps to see how it goes.
Thanks, jpcalhoun!

If you want to get the NJ5 ROM up and running without issues I would suggest flashing the NJ5 stock restore tar file in Odin, then flash TWRP recovery in Odin. Once that is done boot into TWRP and flash SU, then flash the ROM. I was having the same issue yesterday and this fixed things for me.

Glad you got it working. I'd have to see the error messages to try, I emphasize try, to determine what might be causing them. Often after flashing or using ODIN to install software you'll get an error message until the system has been rebooted. You should probably power off you phone, again, pull the battery, replace the battery and reboot to see if you continue to get error messages. You shouldn't be getting error messages during boot unless you have installed something that has turned a service off or has altered a service that the system is asking for (that's not technically well stated, but I think you get the point). Exposed Framework is great and enables users to customize many things in Android. But, not all the modules work the same on every device, and in fact some modules will not work at all on the Note 4. If you're trying to run a module that does not work as advertised then you should uninstall that module or not select that particular customization. A misbehaving module can cause problems that manifest themselves in funny ways.

You either need to Odin flash stock original official firmware
or re-flash whatever zip file rom you have flashed.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

You will NOT loose the data unless you do a full wipe which includes data.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Your music should be in your internal sdcard, if its not there that
means that you selected to wipe internal sdcard and or you have
done a "factory reset" in stock recovery.
If you done either of those things you cannot restore your music
unless you have backed it up with dropbox, google, onedrive or
other cloud backup services.
Good luck,
Have a great day!
