[Q] Problem restoring rom via clockworkmod recovery

Ok, in short I can't restore my rom after flashing Cyanogenmod 7 RC1. If I try to recover the phone remain locked in recovery mode.
That's the full story anyway:
Had a Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3 (Italy) rooted with CF-root
Made a backup with clockworkmod (no problem)
Made data/app backup with titanium backup (no problem)
Flashed Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 (no problem)
Restore Titaniun backup, have all my app back but had the first problem. None of my data has been restored, contacts, sms, calls... nothing. Why I ask?
Found that I can't access my sd card, read about the downgrade to froyo. Ok, time to restore to my original rom.
Made a restore of my nandroid backup, via rom manager.
BANG, phone hang up at boot on Galaxy S initial logo.
Ok, don't panic, restored an Eclair 2.1-u1 Rom via odin/download mode. Build XWJM7, Base XXJM3 (I read Flashing Eclair is safer)
Tried to update Android via Kies, but I get a message that my version cannot be upgraded.
Rooted Eclair via oneclickroot, installed rom manager/clockworkmod and tried again to restore my rom backup.
The restore seems to go Ok but the phone is stucked in recovery mode (2e). I get the Galaxy S logo for a few second, then logo disappear and reappear an phone go in recovery mode saying:
installing multi-csc
can't access to /system/csc/itv/system/
successfully applied multi-csc.
There is no way to go on, if I choose update.zip, phone go to clockworkmod recovery. Tried to restore an older backup, same result.
Now I'm again on Eclair.
So is there a way to have my original rom back via clockworkmod? Or I have to flash original CSC/MODEM/CODE via odin?
Thanks for helping.

I think your best choice is to flash from odin in download mode with a clean stock rom with re-partition to start again on a good base.

I made some other test.
Extracted the .img from cwm backup. The boot.img file is corrupted on both backup, file are identical so I though there's a problem backing up bootloader on my phone with cwm.
So I tried to recover all but boot. When I reboot (from eclair, cwm 2.5.1.2) in recovery mode I always get to android recovery 2e. As before if I select update.zip (and update is not present) system get me to cwm recovery. I select advanced restore and system ecc. but get the same problem the before: I get stucked in android recovery.
So again I flash via odin this time to gingerbread, rooted with cf-root, launch cwm manager tried for the last time to recover my damned backup.
And UA-TA! has my phone restored.
Any one has I idea why I was able to restore my rom (and app/data) only AFTER I restored my rom in another way?

I also made backup but it was giving error when i try to restor it

[Q] Brick and can't restore

Hello everyone!
I just installed CM9 by the clockworkMod method (after doing a backup of my former official ROM) and it worked great exept I forgot to save my contacts...
So I did another backup of the CM9 and tried to restore the previous ROM, so I would be able to save my contacts and restore the CM9 again.
BUT the restore didn't go well and my phone crashed...
Now I can access both download mod and Clockwork recovery mod, I can see my 2 backups in clockwork recovery mod but when I try, I have the following message:
"data.img not found. Skipping ...
datadata.img not found. Skipping...
[ and it's going on for a few lines...]
Restore complete!"
but it's way too fast (couple seconds) and when I try to reboot I'm stuck on samsung logo.
I tried some solution to unbrick I9000 but nothing worked and I'm kind of desperate after some hours trying to fix it^^
I have clockwork recoverymod v 2.5.1.2 if that's any help.
What can I do to repair my phone?

CM9 use CWM 6.x if I'm not mistaken. If your backup was created with CWM 5.x or other version, please try flash the same CWM version first before you restore your backup.
If still fail, mount the storage via CWM and copy clockworkmod folder from your phone into your computer, you can check what file is missing/etc.

Hey
Or ur can downgrade and root (like 2.3.6 link given below)
then restore from recovery and save ur contacts...

Thanks for your answers. I finally get to re-flash CM9 and back up my contacts by another way.

[Q] Very wierd problem while restoring nandroid backup : loosing all user data.

Hi Devs.
I am using Cocore kernal and my mobile is rooted. I have cwm 6. I took backup of my stock rom and after that i moved to Cm11. I installed few apps on cm11 after that i took backup of cm11 also. After That I have installed PACROM and i have backup of that rom also.
Now I have Nandroid backup of all three ROMs( STOCK, CM and PAC)
Then i have decided to restore my stock ROM . Everything went well but when it started it start without any user data and start in start up wizard with message goole.process fail and i got stuck in setting wizard.
After that i tried to restore CM and This time CM start as new rom without gapps and user data but works very fine.
Finally I try to restore pac and it comes out with same result as CM.
Now whenever i restore my backup it restore only rom but no user data or apps.
After that i tried many solution.
I have found one problem in recovery that failed to mount preload
I have fixed the permission but unable to mount preload .
I found one wierd solution to restore stock with data. : First i restore it in CWM after that i reboot my device in download mode and i flash stock JB via odin on my device and suddenly my stock rom start working with all user data
But this solution works with only stock backup and i don't want to restore stock every time via odin.
So please help me to solve this problem.

When you want to go back from CM 11 and 10.2 to previous version of Android you must either to format Prelaod parition, or flash stock JB. On those two versions developers are using that partition as SWAP, so it is has differend format and can't be used for files that should be there on previous versions.

Solution 2: What you did, flash stock JB from Odin.

[Q] KidMode-Google.odex has unexpected contents

Happy new year too all of you!
I want to update the firmware of my rooted HTC One from 6.09.401.10 to 609.401.11. For this I changed my recovery back to stock recovery and defrosted all the pre-installed apps. At about 25% the update turned to a red triangle with exclamation mark. The error message stated: "/system/app/KidMode-Google.odex has unexpected contents". This was no surprise because I removed KidMode instead of freezing it. I looked for a Nandroid Backup on XDA and had no problem finding several backups. The most recent version I found had firmware version 6.09.401.5. I copied the KidMode-Google.odex file from the Nandroid backup file to /system/app on my phone. I also installed Kidmode from the Google Play store and made it a system app with Titanium Backup. I thought this would solve the problem so the firmware could be updates, but I still get the same error when trying to update to 6.09.401.11. Is there any way to check if I have the correct version of KidMode-Google.odex?

Is there anyone who can help me with this problem?

cant root Galaxy S5 Mini

Hello friends
first of all , i hate samsungs !
but a friend has asked me to root her samsung s5 mini SM-G800F
i managed to install TWRP and tried to flash su from the recovery , but still am getting the error
root undetected
the phone running android version 6.0.1
i know am 1 step away from completing the process , but i didnt manage to ..
thanks

Look for CF-Auto Root for your exact same model and ROM version, you flash it through Odin. I could also install Magisk, first extrack stock boot.img from stock ROM, patch it on phone using Magisk Manager, then flash patched versiin using Odin. You can't flash SuperSU directly.

the issue is , am rooting just because i wanna get the key file of whatsapp , so i can read them on the computer using the backup files ..
i managed to extract the file from the TWRP , but appearantly when you reinstall whatsapp , the key changes ,, and as she tried to restore those old whatsapp messages (god only knows what she tried) now the key cant be used to extract the data from the DB
thanks any way

Backup data in WhatsApp to Google Drive, then restore when installing on new phone...

yeah , i know , but the issue is that she bought a new phone , and couldnt wait to use whatsapp on it , so she activated the whatsapp and offcourse she didnt do a backup to the cloud on her old phone , so now she misses some old messages , i tried to copy the backups and to use the key , but seems that if you reisntall hatsapp the private key will change and not be able to decrypt the old messages
