Phone was originally bone stock, I then rooted & installed TWRP recovery, booted into TWRP and did the Backup option and saved it to SD Card, I then flashed CM 12.1 and used it for a little over a month, trying the various Nightly updates.
I decided to go back to the stock rom I had backed up previously, It restores successfully but when I boot the phone everything is crashing once it hits the home screen, "Unfortunately xxxx has stopped" is seen over and over, I can't load anything, even the settings menu crashes.
I then tried rebooting into TWRP and did Factory reset but when I do this It wont ever get past the Samsung logo on reboot.
Not sure what went wrong with the backup or if Im missing a step? I also tried enabling the verify MD5 check option for the Backup and it says everything is fine.
For now I'm back in CM 12.1, Any ideas appreciated!

Hi everyone, this is somewhat complicated and il try my best to describe what happened.
My device is a i747m (rogers).
I was running CM10.1 (running gapps-jb-20130812 and CWM recovery 6.0.4.3) for a long time, tried to update to 10.2.
(i messed up on 2 things.I don't think i cleared neither of the cache or data and also didn't have proper gapps which would be 20130813).
After installing 10.2 through recovery, it would just stay in the boot Cynogen booting logo.
i restarted into recovery, since my old CM10.1 zip was still there, i installed that instead, but same thing happened, it would just stay at booting logo.
I had made a nandroid back up from before all of this, and so i wiped data, dalvik cache, cache, formatted system, and i recovered into that, which was a stock 4.1.2 rooted (rogers).
However, nothing worked, only WiFi. I couldn't make any phone calls, send/receive messages, or get data.
I then used ODIN 3.07 to flash the new stock 4.3 rooted (rogers). WiFi worked as before, but i still couldn't make any phone calls, send/receive messages, or get data.
i then re-installed the latest recover 6.0.4.5, and installed paranoid android 4.4.2 and gapps for this version. But still nothing, so i went back to the stock 4.3 rooted.
4 months ago, when i made the nandroid back up, i also made an IMEI back up as well (i did not do a full imei/NV/EFS/IMSI/data backup) , i only had my IMEI backup, so i wrote using "NV items reader writer" the IMEI back onto my phone, and now i can recieve/send messages, and get phone calls and make phone calls. wifi also works.
But my data is stuck in Edge, its extremely slow, takes 10min to download a 15mb file.
so far:
-The APN settings are correct
-my IMEI number in settings menu, matches the one on the back of my phone.
-network mode is GSM/HSPA/LTE
-i have installed the latest modem for i747m through CWM recovery and also tried slightly older versions.
i am pretty much lost and i dont know what i should do.
-rogers has told me to use kies and perform backup and then recovery, apparently that will factory reset my phone.
-should i simply use kies to install the latest 4.3?
-does anyone have the imei/NV/EFS/IMSI/data files? or the full NV file?
-should i install CWM recovery and wipe everything that i can? and re-install stock rooted 4.3?
-should i use QPST to fix my IMEI? <-- dont know anything about this, noticed a few threads.
i have used these threads in all my rooting and so forth.

please someone help me out, I dont know how to fix this.
thank you for reading this long and complicated problem.
same problem, ive spent every minute working on it for a week
I went through from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, no problems, phone ran fine after update. Then went to 4.3, same thing. The phone was running fine so I booted back into recovery and removed Knox as well as manually rerooted by flashing SuperSU. Rebooted after that and still no problems, phone was running great. I then make a backup so I have a restore point of stock 4.3, rooted, and without Knox. I then go on and try to flash Dandroid and get a status 7 error and the phone was acting up after I rebooted.
At this point I go back to my backup and simply restore it and reboot again. The phone boots up, so that's a good thing. The problem is the GApps will not run and it continuously has a pop-up notification. The phone is rendered unusable like this. I got lucky once and was able to try and launch ROM Manager to see if fixing permissions would work, but it also closed. I tried flashing a 4.3 GApps package with no success and even tried reflashing the 4.3 update but got a status 6 error.
I'm at a loss here, does anyone have any ideas on this?
Not sure if this will help much, but even when plugged in via USB my computer will not recognize the device. The S3 states that it is connected and it does show up in Device Manager, it just won't show up as any kind of readable memory.
Trying to ADB sideload a rooted stock 4.3 ROM now. Any advice at all would be a help.
EDIT: I took a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ-eaQ_9mVI) of the problem so everyone can see what I'm talking about and I also found a fix.
I'm not sure what was causing it, but after a solid day of researching it online the closest thing I got was resetting app preferences and also trying to clear any data of Google apps. This seemed to sometimes slow the popups down for me or create a longer gap before they just came right back in full force. So, going off that small success I had managed to navigate my way over to Settings -> Accounts -> Backup and reset -> Factory data reset and ran that. The first boot after that took a very long time, I'd say a solid twenty minutes but it did work. No more error and everything has been going smooth for me since. A restore of apps with Titanium Backup also did not bring the problem back up again, so the device seems to be good as new again.
I apologize if any of these is out of line, I just thought I would follow up with a solution in case anyone else has this problem and can't seem to fix it. Maybe this will help them.
Hi, I flashed CM 10.2 on my Galaxy S4, and I used titanium backup to restore all my apps, only apps I didn't choose was TouchWiz and the TouchWiz simpler one. And it said I needed to reboot my device for the changes to apply, so I did that. When I rebooted it said everything stopped working. Even the core thing. Screen went black. Then I took out the battery and when I tried to go to my custom recovery, it just skipped the recovery screen and booted into cm again and same thing happened. Everything just stopped working. Help please. Also I am able to get into download mode. I just don't know how to recover from this. I am running 4.3.1 cm nightly, well I was. I don't know if I could count it was 4.3
if you are able to access the download mode then flash a stock rom. then root your device again.
Hello guys,
I have a SG2 T989 Model.
I went ahead and rooted it today, then went ahead and installed TWRP Recovery, then I went ahead and flashed a;
[Stable CM10.2 Hercules Firmware/Software.]
From here; http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=hercules&type=stable
Then I also went ahead and got;
GApps for CM10.2 .
Then rebooted and it turned on in Cyanogenmod.
Everything was working fine until I rebooted my phone and then the phone would turn on and show;
" Samsung" Logo and then it would dissapear very quickly and the screen would go "Blank off"
I fixed it by going back to; TWRP backing up my data files, then factory reset, wipe cache, then I installed 10.2 over again, Installed GApps then wiped dalvik Cache, then finally Rebooted.
It turned on, I setup everything again, didn't restore my files yet, tried restarting to make sure everything is okay/fine before restoring, but..... I guess not, for some unknown reason it keeps happening.
I hope someone can help me here.

Strangely enough, I have solved the issue.
CM10.2 Seems to be buggy.....
So I downloaded a stable version of CM10.1.3 and Downloaded GApps 10.1 and flashed both Via TWRP Recovery and I also had to wipe/factory reset in order to downgrade followed by Wipe Cache and Dalvik.
Then now it's rebooting perfectly fine, everything is more than fine for the past 2hours. Thank god.
I recently backed up my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 which is on 4.4.2 I used CWM Recovery to back it up to my external SD card. My phone has been flashed to Boost Mobile for about 2 years with no issues. No LTE but 3G is just fine. Yesterday I wanted to try lollipop after the clockwork mod backup. Well... I didn't like it and decided to go back to my original stock rom. I restored the phone using the backup that I had created on my ext. SD with CWM According to Clockwork Mod recovery it all went ok but when the phone full booted up, I started to IMMEDIATELY see various error messages. The 1st was "Unforunately, Maps has stopped" (showed 2 options... "Report" and "OK". I pressed "OK" . Then the same error poped up for several other apps. Then I get "unfortunately, google partner setup has stopped. THEN... the I get THIS over and over again... "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and I press OK. ALL of these errors pop up in less than 1/2 second. I can't even get into the phone without pressing a button in between each message and that just speeds up the error messages. I tried installing 4.4.2 again but it just erased all my data and user info. I even tried an advanced restore from CWM Recovery and only the data, same problem. Is there anything I can do to retain my Boost Mobile flash, all my internal files and just repair 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance!!
I would suggest to Odin back to factory and just start over bro. I've had that issue and it was the only way i could fix it was to start fresh.
