Hey guys, Im having a huge issue. When I restore my TWRP nandroid backup, the device is stuck in boot, forever. Ive tried multiple twrp backups and it happens with each one. And if i restore only data, i get a bootloop. Lmfao. Not funny thought. I need my phone back!
When i restore, I clear dalvik and cache, via the advanced option of twrp wipe. What else are you supposed to do? before this was all I needed to do! Is that not the case with new samsungs? Please help!
EDIT:
If I reflash the firmware with odin, after restoring with twrp, all my data is lost. So the twrp backup is useless and we are back where we started, if i restore tha backup with twrp, it doesnt boot its stuck on boot screen. I dont see any option in odin to not erase the data, there is a ”nand erase” option, but its not ticked.
HELP!
Thanks in advance!

First off sorry if this is answered in another post, lease kindly direct me to the post if it is =)
I just tried to install a second ROM from ROM Manager. I was running DCU and created a back-up in ClockworkMod before I started then installed the new Fresh ROM successfully. When I tried to go back to my first ROM via the restore point I set up it gets stuck in a boot loop. The 2nd restore point from the Fresh ROM loads up just fine.
Is there anyway to fix the older restore point and get back to DCU or should I just wipe everything and reinstall DCU...
Thanks in advanced!
do a data wipe, clear cache and dalvick
Then restore your backup. Clockwork does not seem to like certain roms.

thanks, i was able to wipe everything from the original android recovery mode and upload an old nandroid back up but from Clockwork it didnt seem to clear the dalvik cache, when i clicked clear it just went back to the last menu it never said anything in the log and when i loaded up the Clockwork backup it still didnt work :/
Hello
i have a boot loop after restoring a backup, because after installing 'gapps' to the Cyanogenmod 7, it didn't work anymore
So i went into the Recovery mode to restore the backup.
But after restoring is the splash screen in a booting loop.
What can i do now?
There isn't another backup on my sd card
Is it possible to install another Rom directly from the recovery menu?

brandall, thankyou, I was in a nandroid-restore-boot-loop and your tip about not restoreing 'boot' saved me too (messinga around with my brothers Desire and I don't want him kicking my ass becaused of needing an unwanted full wipe)
but it's strange that an nandroid of a fully working installation fails when restored :S (had the same HBOOT when backup and restore, and the restore was made 15 minutes after creation :S )
Go into recovery, wipe everything and restore backup.

Yes we both did that, but somehow the backup went broken.
I tried wipeing EVERYTHING and restore backup maybe 5 times, but boot loop every time.
So the solution was to wipe and do an advanced restore were you restored ext, system, data and cache.
But NOT restore Boot!

Just happened to me, not restoring boot finally got me out of the bootloop, thank god. Thanks for that tip
Hi,
I just recover my phone with a cwm backup.
But after this, my phone stuck on bootloop.
That's why, I've wiped dalvik cache.
But now, on boot, Android is such as new, no more apps, ...
So, What's the way to get back as more data as possible?
I was thinking that you could get back your mobile as before with cwm!
Thanks for your help
Well, when the phone gets a bootloop after restoring a nandroid backup, it's maybe because you have a different kernel from the one that's on the backup file.
If you want, try flashing with Flash Tools the stock ROM, get onto Fastboot mode and do a hotboot of a CWM kernel (because you will lose the complete install, by now) then restore your old backup.
It will keep all the data.

The backup date of yesterday so, it's not a kernel problem.
Long story short, I was running out of space and was thinking of deleting the backups from titanium backup but I think I accidently clicked Delete all user data and app.
Right now I can only access Download mode and CWM, whenever I tried to wipe install zip from sdcard it reboots, when I try to wipe data/factory reset it reboots, wipe cache partition it reboots, wipe davik it reboots help!!!
Lol. Flash stock with Odin
been there done that, doesn't work

I don't see why odin shouldn't work
So your factory reset doesn't work?
Just dirty flashing a rom.
But really, odin should work at all times unless your phone's hard bricked
I found an old nandroid backup from when I first got my phone. Early when root, recovery etc came out. Flashed it once, it worked half way before reset, done it again and it worked.
Thank god!!!!!!! ALWAYS BACKUP KIDS, ALWAYS BACKUP!!
I tried to flash CWM through odin many times, CWM was still giving me trouble. It was wierd!
Dirty flash didn't work, it kept resetting.
Well i wiped dalvik cache and cache only and now stuck on sasmung logo?? How much time davlik need for rebuilding or I need to restore all backup (waited 15min and nothing)? The all backup restore didnt work too...So factory reset is next right?
The factory reset worked but when restoreing backup its the same thing. Pls help where could be the problem in backup (system,boot,data...)
Stock rom CWM persus kernel

Really no idea, maybe some file corrupted.
You can use odin pc to install stock rom. After successfully reboot then root it and do restore again.
Good luck.

What do you want to restore? Did you already have Perseus kernel when you did the nandroid backup?
How did you made backup?

Yes the persus kernel was instaled when i did nandroid, I used cwm backup to external card, tried to restore one by one but when restoring data i get stuck. I whant to restore everything, thats way I did backup before wipeing dalvik. So only left is flash stock root and try again?
Which error message do you have? Did you move or rename your backup?
Try to go to advanced settings and restore data only.
No error just stuck at boot logo, I tried every combination with system,boot,data restore but nothing, then I restored eariler backup without persus kernel in it and it worked (reverted back to stock kernel) then instaled persus again and its all fine now :good: Do you think there is some problem with backuping when persus kernel is installed?
I didnt now that factory reset with cwm doesnt erase sd internal so I have everthing back in place. Tnx everyone
Nice :good:
I know that we can have some issues when we try to restore a nandroid created from another kernel but nothing special but the Perseus kernel.
But AFAIK there is less problems with TWRP than CWM so it's possible that your problem is a recovery one and your custom kernel doesn't matter. Just try TWRP and let me know
EDIT
Factory reset only erases /data and /cache folders
I tried with TWRP and no problem with backup or restore :good: tnx
