Hey guys,
I used odin to get boot it back up and then I used ClockworkMod to restore backed up data....
After phone said 'restore complete,' I let the phone reboot, but the phone will not reboot
at&t screen pops up and then black out then pops up again then into android recovery mode.
Any ideas?
Could you please provide a little more information about how you got to where you are? (e.g. what rom/kernel/modem/theme you were flashing, what ODIN you used, what version of CWM, etc.) Anything you provide will be helpful in troubleshooting.
Well I had cognitive 4.5.3 installed and I tried restoring using clockmod recovery
the restore wasn't successful and the phone would stay black screened after Galaxy S logo screen
So I turned on odin3 and put my phone on download mode then hit start on odin3
that successfully restored the phone to froyo 2.2 without any of my data
so I tried using clockmod recovery once again to restore the backup
and then... that's where I am
The phone won't boot. It will just go into recovery mode
Here's the message I got after trying to restore once again
--------------------------------
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.2
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
Restoring datadata...
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.

--------------------------------
When did you make that nandroid backup? If you made it while on stock, you'll have to go back to stock first, then run the restore command. If on cognition, you'll need to be on the version you were on when you made the backup and restore there.
Here's the link I found on how to return to stock rom

I've done the first part - before the master reset and then tried restoring the backup and that is how I got to where I am right now.
Do I need to factory reset as well?
If I do factory reset, won't that erase the backup file?
Thanks. I really appreciate your help

To answer your question, doing the master clear will erase EVERYTHING stored in the phone's internal memory. Don't do that step now, as you should be able to get out of where you are without doing that.
I think where your problem occurred is that at some point you made a nandroid backup in CWM, and by trying to restore that on stock, it's freaking out. If you can remember what ROM setup you had on your phone when you made the backup, you could try to get back to that setup to use the restore option in CWM.
Before doing any of the things you're doing now, had you made a backup in Titanium Backup?
I do have backup made with Titanium Backup.
apps data and everything that I could backup with Titanium Backup
Will restoring what I had backed up with Titanium Backup and then restoring the system using CWM work?
I am currently at 2.2 Froyo, which was the rom I was using when backing up using CWM
You've flashed 2.2 stock? If so just flash the rom you previously had with cwm then let it boot. After it boots reboot into cwm then perform a restore in cwm. If that doesnt work nand backup might not be good and you will just have to flash stock again and just rub tibu and leave it at that.
**Thing about NAND backups is that you have to use the same system when you restore (i.e. you nand backup usng cognition then you flash another rom when you nand restore its not going to boot).
Thanks guys for the suggestions!
My phone has been saved!
I have a Nandroid Backup of my phone. If I wanted to restore everything from the backup apart from the kernel how would I go about doing this in CWM? I would like everything thing back such as apps etc but not the kernel
Thanks a lot in advance

I am not sure that is possible. What about restoring the backup and flashing a kernel afterwards in recovery without rebooting?
May be you can do it using philz recovery. It has a custom restore option.
Trying to restore my HTC One using a Nandroid backup.
Before i try to experiment i just wanted to confirm on the process
boot into recovery
select back up restore option
select restore backup
select the backup you wish to restore and let it do its thing
then reboot
Iam running on cwm recovery v6.0.3.6 so i hope i need to place the file in/sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/filename.zip.
can some one please confirm me on the same ?
Thanks in advance.
correct
Hello, I have a question and I hope someone can help me: I have the N-version of galaxa s3 mini and yesterday I flashed CM12. I forgot to save important files, but before flashing I did a backup. Unfortunately when I tried to restore from cwm my phone went in bootloop. Now how can I restore my old backup made with the stock rom? Do I have to flash the stock rom with odin and then try to restore my backup? Is it a problem of different format of the partition? Do I have to check the re-partition button in odin? Please help me! Thanks!

You can't restore a back from one device to another. Boot to recovery and do a full factory reset. You'll have to set it up as a new device.
This is triggered by the phone application or sim card application. Can you get into bootloader or twrp?
thank you !
but it's the same phone, just the screen is new
And I have access to twrp and the bootloader of course
Nobody ? I can pay for a solution...

Have you tried a factory reset in recovery, as I suggested previously?
You can try to flash system.img using fastboot (download factory image from developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, and extract system.img, and fastboot flash it - no guarantees it will work, but worth a try )
I have already try to flash only the system.img
And a factory reset works.. But I wont lost everything ..

Pick your poison...
if someone know which apps cause the issue, I can try to delete it with adb shell
You have a nandroid backup, so do a full reset to get the phone up and running again...
After that, let the Google backup feature install all your apps from the playstore and then use Titanium Backup to restore data only from the nandroid.
I've flashed a clean system, and after I tried to restore my app with Titanium Backup with my nandroid backup but it doesn't work..
Details please... "It doesn't work" doesn't say anything.
Stop using the nandroid to restore things.. They almost always cause issues. Also never restore a nandroid after a repair. The parts are different. So things could easily get messed
I use Google backup and MyBackup Pro.
When I try to restore with titanium backup, I can browse my nandroid backup, see all my apps.. Restore them (it tooks long time ) titanium tell me "success" but nothing append

Just flash stock, it's that easy!
As long as you sign in with the same Google account that was previously on the device, there will be something in the setup asking if you would like to restore from a previously used device, and you just select Nexus 6 from the drop down menu (make sure you select the right date), it will restore all of your apps, contacts, and it'll be back to normal within a few minutes. You'll lose your app data, but this doesn't matter much unless you play games. You'll have to flash twrp and root again, but at least you'll have a working device.
Although this is coming from someone who doesn't have any important data on their phone, it doesn't matter. You still have between having a device that doesn't boot or starting fresh. It's kind of fun sometimes .
