[Q] Failed Nandroid restore from ICS leak rom

Quick question, before trying out the leaked ICS for the chinese Note, I made a nandroid backup for both my old gingerbread rom and ICS rom. After trying it out, I decided that gingerbread is probably more stable for daily use. Then I try a CWM restore and it failed. It failed at system.
Then I tried out my nandroid backup for the the leaked ICS and it failed at system too.
Anyone have any idea what is causing this problem?
I was able to use odin to reflash the leaked ICS which is good, but I still wonder why this happened? It doesn't inspire confidence when a nandroid backup can fail just like this.

Mine did that.
If you attempt to restore, then after it fails, attempt to restore the same backup, it seems to work.
I think this was listed as expected behaviour in some thread. or at least someone else had the same experience as me.

This is what i posted on my thread when i hit this issue, takes some fiddling but worked for me 3 times
1. Boot into recovery
2. Attempt to wipe cache.
3. Attempt to factory reset
4. Start to recover rom it will hang.
5. pull battery
6. Boot into recovery
7. Select mounts and storage
8. Unmount system.
9. Format system
10. Remount system
11. Unmount cache
12. Format cache
13. Remount
14. Restore rom
U may need to pull battery a few times. But eventually it works and restores fine
The key is the first failed restore this has to be done.
I spent enough time myself doing it hence i got frustrated and stopped done it 3 or 4 times.

Glad it worked for ya, puzzled me for a bit

There is another way to get your restore to work:
1. download AbyssNote 3.9 kernel from this thread. It's a flashable zip.
2. put this zip on your SD Card before you try to restore your previous system or flash a fresh GB rom
3. when you want to restore, power off your phone
4. boot into recovery (Volume up + Home + Power)
5. choose 'install zip from SD Card'
6. navigate to your Abyss kernel zip and flash it
7. go back to the Recovery start menu
8. go to advanced/reboot recovery <--- this will reboot the phone directly to recovery
9. you will discover that you now have Hyperdroid Redpill Recovery - it comes with the Abyss kernel - it's pretty much the same thing as CWMR
10. wipe cache, dalvik, do your factory reset
11. start your restore, or flash a GB rom and it will work.
Hope this helps.

I got to step 8 and unmounted the system, but the screen has gone blank except for the CWM logo??
What now?

It worked when all else failed,
Thank you

You're welcome.

What worked for me:
1. Installing RocketRomv20(probably going to work with any ROM)
2. Restart your phone, wait until it's ready for use
3. Use CWM if you installed it, then restore via using the App, not by rebooting into Recovery
4. Wait for it to finish
5. Done, your phone (should) be working again on an older backup!

What are you on about here? We're talking about specific restore problems from ICS to GB here, not just any old GB to GB restore.

Oh, my bad. I wanted to post this in a thread where one guy was experience a loop where the Galaxy Note message wouldn't go away, but he would still can get back to CWM. Sorry.

Thanks everyone!!! I think we should try to get this info posted on the op for the leaked rom. Judging by the responses here, a lot of people had this problem.

All else failed... God bless the red pill recovery! Thanks for this.

Yeah red pill recovery worked for me too. Although i needed to resore an aosp ics backup the ics cwm failed to restore the backup created by itself so i had to flash abyyss note 3.9 and restore using red pill recovery.

Hallelujah!! Redpill recovery saved my night too! Got the same system restore error, when restoring my 30min earlier done backup! Clock is 1.14 am in Finland and i have wake-up at 8.00 am to work, so I realy had to get my phone working again, and it did it! Thank you guys!!

Currently I'm on ICS Stunner 4.3. I come to this ROM through rooting method using dr. Ketan (by zergRush).
Now my question is:
1. Will the above method (Redpill) of going back to GB will work for me?
2. How to flash the GB ROM in the Redpill Recovery?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, the Abyss/Redpill method will work. Just download a custom GB Rom (Cassie's XtraLite, Darky or Chrak's or whatever), place it on your SD Card and flash it after you've done your wipes from Redpill.

search for 20o patched bin and fls files and flash them with smartflash and from there flash any ROM you like.
CM9 is not suitable as an everyday rom, try another one, personally I will recommend you CM7 or Zeus(thou I dont know if the have LTR support).

In face I rooted it by unlock root before then I flashed the cm9
I detected the errors then I re-flashed the stock rom with smart flash tool
but now I want to root again I can't
why???
also is cm7 stable and can I download it from cm website directly or where can I download it??
is cm7 supports rtl support(especially arabic)??
Is cm7 have thread in this forum??

Patched v20o comes with cwm recovery so from there you can flash any rom, yes you should.always get cm from official site or look for temasek kang in general forum.

Help, please: Boot loop during Cyanogenmod zip install

Hello,
I'm not gonna panic, as I think Ive not bricked my phone YET.
Here is what I have done, I have a GALAXY S I9000.
Have been using it for quite some time now. 2 years ago, I have flashed it with - hardcore's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery - using Odin.
Today I decided to give Cyanogenmod a go, followed the steps here. - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
Since I have the hardoce's kernel, I skipped this Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery - and moved on to - Flashing CyanogenMod.
I will go step by step from here.
Download the latest version of CyanogenMod.
Optional: Download the Google Apps for the device.
Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the internal memory.
Optional: Place the Google Apps .zip on the root of the internal memory also.
Boot into the ClockworkMod Recovery.
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side volume buttons to move around, and either the power button or the trackball to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
done these, no problem so far.
[*]Select Choose zip from sdcard.
when I chose this, phone rebooted, it was so fast something may have come up and I didnt see.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop:
- Galaxy S I9000 samsung screen comes up, goes away for a second, comes up again.
- A page with code appearing from the bottom comes up really fast ( logo in the middle changes quickly) then it disappears.
- whole thing starts again.
UPDATE: I got a picture of the fast screen that comes up. : http://localhostr.com/files/b5NzFRy/2012-08-27 05.07.32.jpg
Some observations.
- I can go into download mode when opening it with the key combo.
- loop only stops when I unplug the battery
I need advice on what caused this and how to fix this, please help me.

are you not able to get into recovery? If only download than you need to get back to GB and than do a progressive update from GB to ICS to JB

Flash it again. From what I've heard, it only flashes the kernel the first time.

I had the same problem today with CM7 today. Just reboot in recovery and flash again cm zip, form there on everything is gonna run smooth!

Hi,
I had the same pb coming from a GB
I think this pb is very common
1) DON'T WORRY !
2) Unplug the battery when bootlooping
3) Put the SGS in Recovery Mode (the CWM's version has changed)
4) Select the CM .zip and flash it AGAIN
5) When it's done, reboot system
This time, everything shoot be OK
Just be carefull with your IMEI (always have a backup of EFS folder !)

Anyone have a trick yet for CM 10.1 v.22 Nightly, I keep getting a bootloop on all their versions except the original one. This is so frustrating because I have to keep going back to stock and then update to ICS.

Same here, after the Samsung and CM logos, and splash animation, it says :
"Encryption unsuccessful.
Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
To resume using your phone, you must perform a factory reset...."
After I tap Reset phone, it goes to CWM recovery.
Do the factory reset and the same thing occured in loop.
I came from JVU and CF root.

- pressed the 'Flash'
- picked 'Flashmode'
- picket 534-firmwarefile
- flashed
- unplugged cable
- reboot
- set up google-account
- DID not made OTA-Update
- stopped Auto-App-restore from Google Play
- went to XPERIA-conectivity-options
- PC-Compagnion-install disabled
- picked correct USB-connection-modus
- ticket allow unknown source-install
- ticket USB-debugging within developer-menu
- started Kingo
- plugged Z1 with USB-cable
- waited till driver/stuff was synched
- 'Root'-option was able to be clicked
- clicked
- 'Root succeeded' appears
- did an TA-Backup and ticked SuperSu-request while backing up
- put iHackers V1.1 onto external SD-card
- went to 'Dual-CWM'-folder and double-clicked 'Run.bat'
- CWM-window appeared
- clicked 1 (= SuperSU)
- once done, Z1 rebooted into recovery
- rebooted into recovery once again

- installed ROM by using my options I would have to be installed
- installed 257-Kernel with Flashtool -> Flashmode -> pickde Kernelfile -> flashed
- Reboot
- installed ALL needed apps
- did ALL settings I would like to use
ISSUES:
1) Dual-CWM:
- has gone -> tried to re-install -> failed -> 'Waiting for Device' for a long time without any progress
2) Camera:
- while ticking 'camera' it shows message: 'Sorry but camera was shut down' -> OK
HOW TO GET DUAL-CWM BACK?
HOW TO GET CAMERA BACK TO NORMAL?
Once those two issues are solved, HOW TO GET NEW iHACKERS V1.2 INSTALLED WITHOUT GETTING THOSE TWO ISSUES AGAIN?
Thanks a lot,
DES75

Did you unlock your bootloader? that can explain the camera issue. btw you should post of the IHackers Thread not create your own thread in general section

1) downgrade and try again, this time flash the .zip for dual recovery AFTER flashing the rom and BEFORE rebooting (EDIT before trying that, make sure you have granted ADB shell root access in superuser app)
2) Clear data in settings/app/camera common

Hi!
I did all written stuff! I didn't unlock BL at all! Within all those stuff, nothing appeared to open BL!
OR
Is there an option within FLASHTOOL which will open BL while flashing Firmware and/or 257-Kernel?
BTW:
I'm not allowed to post within iHackers-thread!
Thx + BR,

If you do not know the answer to that I would you suggest you stay away from unlocking the bootloader until you have learned a few basics

Hi!
So just do the whole procedure (beginning from first line) once again? It's not the prob, just want to be 100% safe!
And after that, you think that ...
- Dual-CWM will be installed
- Camera-issue will have been gone
- iHackers V1.2 will be installed
Thx

There is no need to do it all again, but the issue will be gone if you flash that file when I say and if you clear data in settings/app/camera common

Hi!
1) So I should use Flashtool to get this *.zip flashed onto Z1 NOW or should it be flashed onto Z1?
2) Already cleaded data from 'camera common' but still same camera-prob
Thanks for your great support

1) Use flashtool to flash 534
2) Root it
3) Let it update OTA
4) Install DualRecovery from here
5) Enter Recovery, factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik.
6) Follow the installation guide to install the rom of your choice. The only thing to do differently is AFTER flashing the rom.zip and BEFORE rebooting flash the .zip file I mentioned in the earlier post.
6) Reboot
7) Done

Hi!
Sorry, I'm really a bit nooby and just want to be 100% safe!
1) Use flashtool to flash 534 (connect Z1 with PC, start flashtool, flash, Flashmode, pick 534-firmware, flash)
1-2) reboot
2) Root it (Kindo)
2-1) reboot
3) Let it update OTA (just download OTA + install)
4) Install DualRecovery (file name: ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.42-BETA.windows.zip) - (unpack on PC, double-click *.bat, install by using 'supersu')
4-1) reboot and hold 'Volume +'
5) Enter Recovery, factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik.
5-1) iHacker 1.2 on external card
5-2) install zip from ... + follow instructions
6) Follow the installation guide to install the rom of your choice.
6-1) NO REBOOT
6-2) stay in recovery and install zip from external card and flash the 'Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.42-BETA.zip''
6) Reboot
7) Done
That's it?
Please finally confirm,

I have my moments
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hello!
I did like following but got problem (marked in red)! Do someone know how to get that fixed?
1) Use flashtool to flash 534 (connect Z1 with PC, start flashtool, flash, Flashmode, pick 534-firmware, flash)
1-2) reboot
2) Root it (Kindo)
2-1) reboot
3) Let it update OTA (just download OTA + install)
4) Install DualRecovery (file name: ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.7.42-BETA.windows.zip) - (unpack on PC, double-click *.bat, install by using 'supersu')
4-1) reboot and hold 'Volume +'
5) Enter Recovery, factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvik.
RECOVERY IS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE/GET FILE FROM EXTERNAL SD!!! ALL FILES ARE ON EXTERNAL SD BUT RECOVERY SHOWS EXTERNAL SD WITH 0BYTES!!! SO HOW TO GET MY EXTERNAL SD WORKING WELL???
BTW (before someone is asking):
The external SD already checked on PC and on PC, on an EEEPC and on an other smartphone, that SD is working well!
would like to proceed the following steps, too:
5-1) iHacker 1.2 on external card
5-2) install zip from ... + follow instructions
6) Follow the installation guide to install the rom of your choice.
6-1) NO REBOOT
6-2) stay in recovery and install zip from external card and flash the 'Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.42-BETA.zip''
6) Reboot
7) Done
Thanks a lot for your kind support and have a nice weekend,

[SOLVED] eXistenZ Ultra v2.0.0 installation problem

Solution- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51503452
Yesterday i tried multiple times to install eXistenZ Ultra v2.0.0 but evrey time i get nothing except Bootloop.
My phone never vibrate twice after flashing 266 kernel.
I read OP instruction very carefully & follow it but no luck. Only i miss one point every time- "Unmount System", when i go to corresponding menu in CWM i only get "Mount System". So my system is already unmounted, for that reason i skip that step.
Please help me to get rid of bug-full Stock 4.3.
My step-
1. Flash full 12.0.A.2.254
2. Flash 12.0.A.1.257 (kernel only)
3. Root (DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit)
4. Flash 12.0.A.2.254(kernel only)
5. Install CWM (Philz, CWM Touch and TWRP)
6. Go to CMW
7. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache
8. Unmount System (i skip that step, when i go to corresponding menu in CWM i only get "Mount System". So my system is already unmounted)
9. Flash ROM + SuperSU_fix
10. Power OFF Recovery
11. Flash 12.1.A.0.266 (kernel only)
12. Power ON phone & waiting for Vibrate Twice(I never get it, i tried at least 5-6 times to flash this ROM but i never get it)
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem on the "unmount system". Hope someone can help us..

Can you please link me to Stock 4.3 [0.266] Kernel only file ?
Can you still access CWM recovery ?
Do this -
Do a factory reset in recovery
Then go and UN- MOUNT System, If its already Unmounted mount it and unmount it again.
Then Flash ROM and SU Fix and flash the kernel after that.

For anyone having bootloop while installation follw this method
1. Flash full 12.0.A.2.254
2. Flash 12.0.A.1.257 (kernel only)
3. Root (DooMLoRD_Easy-Rooting-Toolkit_v18_perf-event-exploit)
4. Flash 12.0.A.2.254(kernel only)
5. Install CWM (Philz, CWM Touch and TWRP)
6. Go to CMW
7. Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache
8. Unmount System (if it is mounted)
9. Flash ROM + SuperSU_fix
10. Power OFF Recovery
11. Flash 12.1.A.0.266 (kernel only)(If u get bootloop then step 12 )
12. Flash 12.0.A.2.254 kernel only and on the mobile till you get vibration two times,then force switch off using pin in back then flash .266 kernel again and wait for 3 to 4 bootloops.If you get the same problem again flash .254 kernel and repeat the same step once or twice.
13. Power ON phone & waiting for Vibrate Twice
