I installed the NOVA HD software with CWM Recovery. Just to try it. I made a full backup of my original GB with CWM Recovery. When I wanted to go back to my original gb rom I wiped all memory and then I did recover my backup. But after full recovery and a reset the phone got stuck on the startup logo. So again a full wipe and then NOVA HD ROM on it. All went well, and the phone booted normally into ICS. After that NO wipe and recover original GB backup. The logo came. Then the original splash screen also. And then nothing again.
What am I missing here? What should I do to get my backup of the original GB rom back on my phone with CWM Recovery?
Perhaps a file system format problem ? What version of CWM do you use? Touch 6 version has problems with ext3.
Find and try backtoext3 zip to force ext3 on all partitions, before restoring. And depending what version of CWM you use try the Non Touch 6 CWM (see thread about new 6.x CWM first post).

I do use the none touch version because I heard about the problems with the touch version. I use version 5.0.2.0.

Strange so.... Try back2ext3 anyway.
Try to flash cm7 or other GB rom. And after that restore your backup. Might even try with a stock GB.

hey if u dont want to root ur phone then go with smartflash .The below link is give u a original rom and installing method .BUT BE SURE IT WILL WIPE UR ALL INTERNAL DATA u must backup all data first .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1035041
in this u find the 2 files
1 fls file which is baseband file put it in cp bin
2 bin file which is ur orignal rom put it in ap bin
NOTE-- if ur fail in first 1 or 2 attempts then dont worry repeat it for several times. This will put ur device on stock rom and unroot
All thanks for your replys. I think I will give CM7 a try. And then trying to get the backup back.
But maybe I will stay on this Nova HD rom. It is very quick. I have it installed now for two weeks and don't have any problems with it besides the headsetbutton and videocam issues. I like the quick startup of the normal cam function though. And I use holo launcher which is for me the snappiest and lowest memory consuming launcher.

Yes - that happened to me also. My first "bad" experience with flashing
from what i read CM7 running ext4, stock runing ext3 right?
so now i'm back with stock running froyo, i still have my backup files on with sd card. Do i root and install rom manager then install Back2Ext3, and final running restore? will this restore back to my original state since i backup using cwm to backup.
thank guy
yes, cm7 uses ext4 system mount. i just use a zip file which i flash from recovery if i need to get back to ext3.
here it is btw if you are on stock froyo and want to restore stock gingerbread (if i understood you right) you dont need to use back to ext3 again, just restore your back up.

Restore stock backup from CM needs to flash an ext4-backto-ext3 zip with cwm, what a pity you overwrite cwm with stock recovery.
Now you should try to rescue your phone with SmartFlash, finally consider nvflash method.

If you mind, try Django Manouche, Custom but stock based ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410662 . I tried many CM and MIUI roms but always ended restoring Django back
2 days ago I had to reinstal system on my Note. I decided to flash stock GB rom using odin with re-partition (SGN 16bg pit file). After that I flashed once again using stock GB rooted rom, and install CF kernel with CWM using mobile odin. Everything was fine. Next I installed a cooked rom (CleaNote v5, ). I thought that everything is fine till i decided to install TouchwixUX Launcher prepared to Note. The instalation process stucks on about 20%, I thought that maybe package is corrupted, I downloaded it again, but it didn't help, so I decided backup my phone using nandroid and wipe to factory data. And there is a problem:
1. I try to make a backup using nandroid, and it stops on some *.txt file and stucks. (backup include 3 files)
2. I can't do the wipe. I launched full wipe and nandroid returned a message "can't open /SDCARD/.amndroid_secure ..."
3. When I try to mount SDCARD, CWM Recovery show's the message "Cant mount SDCARD"
There is a one thing which make me sad. I tried to install CleaNote .zip by CWM Recovery once again, and instaltion process stucks to. It means that i probably wont be able to flash any other rom.
Is there any way to solve this problem?

Can you go download mode and flash gb rom in pc odin? After flashing gb rom in pc odin if still stuck go to recovery and wipe data and cache.
The way you explained it i dont believe it is superbrick.
NO NO NO - there is no superbrick My phone works, I can connect phonr to Odin, Mobile Obin, I can run in Recovery mode, but i can't for example do a nandroid backup or ful wipe under cwm recovery. I think, that there is some problem with permition to files on SD card, but I didn't meet with that problem on other rom (I used Paranoid Android (CM9 and CM10) and there was everything fine).
The reason I wrote is that I am worry if some parts of internal memory maybe corrupted, and flashing rom using Odin/Mobile Odin may caused superbrick.

Download EMMC CHECK from google play and after you run it check your heart also.
I used eMMC Brickbug Check. Result - Congratulation, test pass.
So I understand, that if there is some bug, there is caused by software, not hardware problem and I can reflash phone using Odin.
BTW - what means "Brick Bug ? - Yes. Insane chip." ?
I change kernel from stock to CF 5.3 before flashing to CleaNote. I found some info, that this kernel (cf 5.3) is not safe. Kernel after flashing ia NoteCore 12,3. Can it be the reason why i couldn't do a full wipe?
... I almost forgot - I used TriangleAway to remove flash counter. Maybe this is a problem?
After upgrading my phone to CM 10 and installing ROM Manager 5.0.2.1 (which
includes Clockworkmod Recovery 6.0.1.2), I had a problem in that nothing could be
installed because the SD card was not being mounted.
There was no way of downgrading Clockworkmod Recovery because nothing would
get installed.
After numerous methods, I solved this by paying for the premium version of ROM Manager.
Once that was done, I got the option of reverting back to an earlier version of Clockworkmod Recovery from
within ROM Manager. I chose (arbitrarily) version 5.0.0.0 and now the problem has gone away.

Weird, I did the same with the free version, downgraded to 5.2.something (that I had working before) and its working correctly.
In summary: DO NOT INSTALL THE v6, usb mounting does not work... yet
CWM 6 working ok for me.I can install roms etc , but I can't mount SD to use on PC
But if you're making a backup on CWM6 and you want to restore on CWM5 it won't work.The backups in CWM6 are a lot smaller and diferent from previous vers

Actually, you can change the way that CWM recovery backs up your system so in fact maybe by changing the back up method, you can restore CWM6 back ups on CWM5. This includes difference compression methods, file type, etc
Just FYI, you don't have to buy Rom Manager Premium to downgrade your recovery image. The 'free' way would be to inject it into a kdz file and extract AP and CP binaries then flash with SFT.

So no version on v6 will mount ur sd card for backups
I might lose all contacts :crying: There is 290+ of them. I'm noob in this stuff and i need help!!
So before i was going to flash a rom i did a nandroid backup and i did restore (CMW Touch PhilZ 6.0.15). The same backup i just created to see if it works ( i don't know why). It was restoring files like normal ( about 10 mins). Then i restarted the phone. Samsung logo kept glowing about 10 mins and more but Galaxy Note didn't show homescreen. What it that? Bootloop? And then i tried flashing Slim rom 2.6v and it changed my recovery to CMW 5.5 or something similar with smaller touch buttons and smaller selection rows. Never experienced such things with S3. flashed about 15-20 roms and recovery was never changed. Why did rom change phone's recovery on my Note? But rom worked (homescreen, menus and etc as it should). Then i tried to do restore again. Did latest restore same wich i tried restoring before flashing (in that 5.5v wich was installed by new rom). Got error. Restarted. And my installed recovery 6.0.15 by PhilZ appeared again? Why this happened? Why doesn't this happen on S3 ( s3 always has same recovery as i flashed 10+ typed of different roms or is just this one?) So tried to restore latest point again. It was restoring about 10 mins like normal restore in time. But after restart it could not properly boot and show homescreen. Just showed Samsung glowing logo and phone was warm like CPU would be on load.
Btw. I have almost one month old backups too. 2 of them and they do the same thing after restore. Just glowind samsung logo. As i can remember ( not guaranteeing ) i restored from one of those backups because i was flashing a custom rom and wanted to go back.
Is it possible to get CONTACTS back from that backup? System settings? I will lose sooo much time without those contacs!!! :crying: Please help me!
What tools do i need to get back my stuff?
If there will be correct answer more than one person. The first one will get this gift. I will be back in about 10 hours.\
Hello.
Your contacts are stored here data.ext4.tar\data\data\com.android.providers.contacts\databases\ with *.db extension
Try to extract them and replace.

Problem is that my backups are 20mb. And one main backup with lots lots of folders. That's is how 6,0,15 recovery is made? Yes? And there is no tar file wich i could open with winrar.
Omg.. Just ultima flashed rom with that 5,5v recovery from Slim rom and now i can't even see samsung boot glowind logo. But works in download mode. What should i flash now!?
I'm going to sleep. Hope no nightmares about phones lol...
That's because you used .dup format to backup, so the backup folder is around 20MB as you said and blobs folder is around 800MB to 2GB, depends what ROM you used.
None of yours backup work?

download alliance ROM v2.1 resurection and use odin to flash it. Your phone will be back then, reboot recovery wipe cache dalvik and data, reboot. Download any xxls2 rom and flash it try to restore your data using titanium extract from nandroid.

Hey I have an optimus 2x.
i was running stock gingerbread on my rooted device. the other night i installed rom manger and downloaded CWM straight from there for my phone. it was version 6. something. i booted into recovery. made a nandroid backup(into the external memory of the phone) . then awhile later for some small reason i restored that same backup, which restored but it sent my phone into boot loop. the lg logo just flashes on and off.
i then heard that i may have installed the wrong CWM so i put another version of recovery onto an sd card and flashed it onto my phone.
cwm-based recovery v5.0.2.7
Now i have this recovery but when i try to restore that same backup it restores it really quickly and says it cant find a bunch of stuff.
i tried to put cynogenmod on the sd card but my phone doesnt give me the option anymore to install zip from external sd.
i have been reading and reading. currently i am on your thread called full brick repair.
i just dont know which way to go. i cant even find a stock ROM. the links i found are broken. I am in canada. its a fido phone.
i have tried A lot.
ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED . Thank you.
Now you have older version, when backup have been made by newer version. You have to flash newer version of CWM and then wipe data,system and restore backup. It will work
If you want to back to stock, use nvflash toolkits that are floating around here.

The reason i installed the older CWM is because my phone kept bootlooping after restoring the backups
ANYWAYS, i manged to flash the latest cm10 andGapps on my phone. its a bit laggy
what i am trying to do tho is use setDNS an app. to change my dns settings in order to get the american content from netflix.
setdns has superuser permisions and all but i still get the canadian version of netflix.
