[SOLVED] Won't Restore - LG Optimus 2x

I went Stock -> CM7 -> CM7 Kang -> Backup -> Latest Baseband -> Restore
The restore won't work, it gets through checking md5s, restoring system files, but when it gets to data after a few files it says "Cannot restore data".
Why not

may not be the issue, but try restoring file permissions in the advanced menu in CWM
then try restore again.
if that fails.
make a full wipe before restore.
let us know how you get on.

Fixing permissions worked perfectly, thank you!!

[Q] Help me nandroid restore a ROM

Trying to install Telus v5.2.
Flashed GOT_RTEU_2_2_1FULL.
Installed Androidiani OR 3.3 and rooted.
Placed the extracted TelusLiteV52 folder in sdcard\nandroid\openrecovery.
Wipe cache, dalvik, data.
Enter OR, choose to restore nandroid, choose TelusLiteV52, choose Restore All.
I get messages saying "boot: not backed up. bpsw: not backed up" and so on, then "Restoring finished successfully".
But nothing as changed in the OS.
What am I doing wrong?
Apparently you had to restore V5 before V5.2.

Not sure if xslntx updated the TelusLite to be used with AOR3.3. Try using GOT's OR?

[Q] CM7 to Miui

So I was able to successfully install CM7 on my new NC last week and got it just the way I want it. Now I would like to try Miui. I have never used Rom Manager (not working on the Epic), and would like to know how to go back and forth using that app.
Can someone break it down so I can follow along painlessly?
ROM manager is nice for doing incremental updates. What you want to know how to use is clockwork mod.
I'm in the car ATM, but I'll be at my computer in 15 or so. I'll write up what you need.

OK, first turn on wifi. Then, from within Rom manager check and make sure you have the latest Clockworkmod flashed.
at the top it will say 'current recovery' if that's 3.2.0.1 then you're good, if not, select 'flash Clockworkmod'
if you get a selection between old and new, select new.
Now would be a good time to make a directory on your SD-card called 'ZIPS' and put the .zip files of whatever rom you want to flash.
CM7 nightlies
MIUI
And, you'll want to pickup the Gapps (google applications) zip from here
Clockworkmod is a recovery program. It is able to boot ahead of anything else and has access to every partition. From within clockwork mod you're able to do system level backing up, restoring, or just plan changing. I'll give you the run down on flashing different roms.
To boot Clockworkmod just turn off the nook, then hold the [pwr]+['n' button] until you see the text 'booting into recovery' release the buttons.
Now within clockworkmod [vol+] is up, [vol-] is down, ['n' button] is select, and [pwr] is back.
First we need to backup your current data. With this backup you will be able to restore to that EXACT time and setup. Make as many as you want, feel free to rename then to keep track.
->backup and restore->Backup
The backup is saved to the SD-card in the Clockworkmod folder
Then we need to wipe all that uncool old data from the emmc. Pick one, not both.
Scenario #1: upgrading versions of the SAME ROM
->mounts and storage->unmount /cache
->mounts and storage->format /cache
->advanced->wipe dalvik cache
Scenario #2: SWITCHING from one type of ROM to another
->mounts and storage->unmount /cache
->mounts and storage->format /cache
->mounts and storage->format /data
->mounts and storage->format /system
->advanced->wipe dalvik cache
->wipe data/factory reset (a little redundant, but it can't hurt)
Now to install the new ROM or ROM version
->install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard->ZIPS/->ROM file
->install zip from sdcard->choose zip from sdcard->ZIPS/->Gapps file (should look something like this: gapps-gb-20110613-siged.zip)
After you've installed a new update of a ROM or a new ROM you'll have to fix the permissions.
->advanced->fix permissions
Reboot and you're done.
This should cover all of your flashing needs. If I missed something please point it out. If something doesn't work just post it, someone will know.
Awesome breakdown! Now to get apps back, do I need to use titanium or can I go to restore in CWM and do it that way?
Thanks again, that was very useful!
I seem to remember that titanium backup's app data restore does not work for CM7, only restoring the app itself works.
The restore in CWM will REVERT you back to when you backed up, undoing everything you've done since.
I can confirm that Titanium backup does work in CM7 I use it all the time to restore apps and data.
It also worked after I installed Miui. Batch restored all of my apps and data, no FC's.
Glad to hear it worked ok for you.

[Q] Phone won't boot after Ultimate JB ROM Upgrade

Can anyone please help?
I just installed the Ultimate JB ROM XXLSA 4.1.2 v5 upgrade on top of v4.
All went perfectly well and I was able to enter all my setup and account details after the initial boot of the phone.
When I tried to re-install apps from Google Play, however, (Titanium Backup Pro, Quickboot) the phone hangs at the Samsung Splash screen and won't go any further. I re-tried the procedure 3 times but each time the result is the same.
Can anyone tell me what the problem could be? I followed all the instructions about wiping etc. correctly.
Trevor
v4 and v5 use completely different bases (LS7 and LSA).
I would save everything to my ext SD card.
Then goto Settings > Backup & Restore > Factory Reset (don't click on format external sd card).
Your phone will restart and do some crazy things. Then restart again.
When you get to the welcome page, or bootloop... take the battery out (its safe).
Then hold Vol Up, Home and Power (let go of Power after ~5-15sec) and goto recovery.
In recovery, wipe cache.
Then format data.
Then format system.
Then format cache.
Then wipe Dalvik cache.
Then install the v5 zip.
It shouldn't restart automatically, but it might, don't worry let it.
Now you should have a fully, fresh, clean install of v5.
Connect to your wifi, go through the start up.
Goto SuperSU and update binary.
Goto Play Store and install TiBu.
Open TiBu and grant it root access.
Close TiBu.
Connect phone to PC, then copy your TitaniumBackup folder into your sdcard directory.
Open TiBU and now, it will see your previous saves.
Restore your apps + data.
Presto! No bootlooping and no App FC !
Thanks for going to all the trouble to write all that out.
I followed the instructions to the letter but no, same result I'm afraid: it worked fine but as soon as I installed Titanium and granted root access, it asked me to choose to restore the original phone ID which I did. The phone rebooted but then wouldn't go past the "Samsung Galaxy Note Gt-N7000" screen.
I have no choice but to restore from my Nandroid backup. This is really p****ng me off but at least I can restore v4 easily.
Thanks again

Mystery solved - well partly. Turns out Titanium Backup Pro was causing it on my phone for some reason. This was naturally the first app I wanted to install so I could restore apps one by one from the Nandroid backup. I tried Quickboot too which also caused the same problem so because TB and then QB did the same thing I assumed every app was going to cause trouble. Shouldn't jump to conclusions, I know.
I have JB Ultimate XXSLA v5 installed and am restoring my apps one at a time from Google Play and making new Nandroid backups as I go along.
And now I just tried installing TB free version - the phone boots normally! Then I installed the TB Pro version and again the phone boots normally. When TB was the first app I installed after the ROM upgrade it hung up the phone every time on 6 attempts. I'll try re-installing Quickboot now and see what happens. Conclusion: I must have been doing something in the wrong sequence but can's see what.
Many thanks for your help.

TWRP bootloop after restore...

hi all
i installed havoc os from stock miui rom
i did full backup before that
now i want to return to stock rom
i did restore but i have force boot into twrp ... icant reboot to system
any solution please??
thanks
no any idea??
You need to install the stock rom you were on before.
Follow these steps:
Go to TWRP-> Wipe-> Advanced Wipe-> Wipe system,cache data
Go to TWRP-> Install -> Flash STOCK ROM
Go to TWRP-> Install -> Flash Disable_DM-verity_ForceEncrypt.zip
Go to TWRP-> Restore-> Select backup-> ONLY RESTORE DATA (meaning you deselect BOOT and SYSTEM)
Reboot, and if you see the "powered by Android under the Mi Logo, it has worked.
Lastly, when you get into system, it may not work with the previous LOCKSCREEN code you had before.
If this is the case, go to TWRP-> Advanced -> File Manager -> and DELETE locksettings.db
Reboot, and it should let you in.
Thank you very much guys....
I will try and hope it works

IMEI & Baseband Restore - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - SM N9500 - Hongkong Model - TGY

Hi,
I am using SM-N9500 samsung note 8 model - hongkong version, i frequently change the roms. when last time i tried to install a custom rom i lost IMEI and baseband. i am getting error like IMEI-unknown, baseband- unknown, no network and sim cards not working.
i tried installing stock rom, custom roms and even Combination files as suggested by CuBz90, everything was installed successfully but only the baseband, signal and IMEI are not working. i didnt even back up my EFS folder. So, kindly help me to get back my IMEI.
please find below the procedures i followed.
Old Stock - N9500ZHS4CRJ1_N9500ZZH4CRJ1_TGY
New Stock - N9500ZHS4CRL1_N9500ZZH4CRL1_TGY
Combo - COMBINATION_FA71_N9500ZCU4ARG1
1) Stock firmware-> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again
2) Stock firmware-> installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS except Factory APP and ProvDATA -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband
3) Stock firmware-> Installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS(including Factory APP and PROVdata - now EFS Folder is Empty) -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Got DRK ERROR ->Installed Noverity -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband
4) Downloaded New Stock - installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS except Factory APP and ProvDATA -> Wipe Data -> installed Combo -> Checked IME -*#06# -> Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband
5) New Stock - Installed TWRP-> mounted EFS -> Taken EFS backup -> Then deleted all the folders and files inside EFS(including Factory APP and PROVdata - now EFS Folder is Empty) -> Got DRK ERROR ->Installed Noverity -> installed Stock again - Only Serial is present but no IMEI & Baseband
Note: for all the above steps, if i install the combo directly - installation PASS and i am getting struck at Factory Binary LOGO and then it bootloop, even waited for almost 15-20 Min even though bootlooping and not able to open factory binary.
So, i wiped data before installing COMBO, then it worked well and i am able to open Factory Binary. and for all the above steps i got unknown status for CP, P_SN, HW, Cal.D as Unknown(attached screenshot). dont know why?
if there are any steps that i need to follow please suggest.
