Hello!
Before I want to go on to CWM I want to tell you what happened before.
Yesterday I flashed TWRP recovery which resulted in a really bad situation. I was stuck in recovery. If I pressed reboot it went straigt to recovery again, even if I pulled out the battery. So flashed the stock firmware via the KDZ flashing method and everything worked again.
Then I rooted again, installed CWM, installed CM, installed all my apps (TB backup on PC was quite old),....
So all in all it was a big amount of work and it took me a few hours.
Then everything was working again as it should and I updated all my TB backups and then I wanted to make a Nandroid backup so that I wouldnt have to do all that flashing and installing again.
So I went to recovery--> backup and restore --> backup
But it didnt finish. It always stopped with this error: Error while meaking a backup image of /system!
So i thought maybe I should install everything again, which i did. (I had already made a TB backup of all my apps, so i thought this woulb be done fast)
Well, went to recovery again, did a factory reset, wiped dalvik cache and even formated /system. Then I installed the latest CM + GAPPS and rebooted.
And the first thing i recognized was that the screen popped where it says "android is upgrading". And I wondered even more when I realized that all my apps where stille there. So obviously the factory reset and also format /system didnt work properly.
If I format /system and dont install any ROM then the device doesnt boot (which i guess is the normal behaviour). But what I want to say is that the format works there but if I flash CM afterwards all my apps are still there (despite the fact that i also did a factory reset).
All in all the phone does work normal now, but I'm not able to make a Nandroid backup and I'm really wondering why.
(I also reflashed CWM recovery but that didnt change anything)
I would be glad if s1 could help me.
PS: Could the solution be to flash stock again via KDZ and then do everything from the beginning?
Never heard of anything like this before.
Did you flash the recovery as a .IMG or through Rom manager (I would suggest to flash it with Rom manager).
Try this and report back (maybe your recovery image is damaged or smth.)

I have no idea what caused this crazy behavoiur of CWM, but I started over again with flashing kdz and now everything is fine
Maybe your SD card is full. Try deleting a few files from your SD and then do the backup.

I dont have any external sd card and on phone memory there were more than 10GB free space

Hello!
Today, i decided to install cyanogemmod on my 2x. So i downloaded ROM manager and downloaded cyanogenmod. everything went fine until i was going to boot for the first time. I got into a bootloop. so i tried taking out the battery and all that stuff but it still would't work. So i tried to recover the phone. I recovered it to a month old backup (I could not find the one i made in ROM manager before i installed cyanogenmod) The recovery went fine. But, when i rebooted it got into a loop on the lg logo! (the one without the loading bar) it would just load the lg logo, be there for like 10sec, then it would do the same. I tried recovering one more time, but it didn't work. The same thing happend. What should i do? :S Should i wipe data/factory reset?
EDIT: My phone was on android 2.3.4 before i download cyanogenmod.
BTW before i installed cyanogenmod, i forgot to clear cache and data. I was in a hurry so i did't notice the screen popping up, I automatically pressed "ok" without selecting anything.
Thanks for the help

Different partitions... Look for something called backtoext3 in the dev section (or somewhere else) The problem is that when you flash a custom rom like CM you convert your filesystem to EXT4, while stock is EXT3.
So basically what you have to do is:
1) Reboot into recovery
2) Wipe everything
3) Flash Backtoext3 zip
4) Restore Nandroid.
This should work. this will take you back to stock.
So i have to restart the phone, Choose wipe data/factory reset, then flash backtoext3 (how do i do it? lol) then restore nandroid (the backup i just tried to restore twice?)

Yes
Flashing backtoext3 is just flashing the zip file you put on the sd card. (and then install zip from SD ) an then restore your nandroid stock backup and you're back on stock.
But you said you wanted to try CM right? In that case, wipe everything (factory reset/data + cache + dalvik) and then flash the CM7 rom and you have CM! Don't worry about backtoext3, your partitions are already on EXT4, because of your prior CM flash.
Ohh! Thanks Can you send the files for cm (2.3.4)? I've found some, but im not sure if my phone is compitable with them :S im really afraid to mess something up again
My. Signature. (CM7 temasek's KANG = the best CM7 at the moment )
I did everything and i got into a bootloop at the skating andriod screen again
OK, restored my phone back... Now it wont connect to the network and the battery has a question mark inside it. It also says the battery level is 999% heelp
Nvm, got my phone back to normal still dont understand why cm wont work...
You need cwm5 to flash cm.
I have a G2x, which is basically the same phone. But anyway, I would recommend nvflashing CWM and not getting it from ROM Manager.
CWM 5.0.2.0 will do just fine, but it is indeed old...
Anyway, are you sure you waited long enough on the CM boot screen? The first boot might take a couple of minutes. (4 or 5)
Hello everyone
So I have fully rooted phone which I've been using for a long time with CM10.1, I just wanted to flash cwm from 6.0.3.1 to same version with cwm touch support but I couldn't because of many errors in ADB and other programs like All in one tool kit and others. So again, I got an error that I couldn't flash a new cwm, I don't know why but I thought of unlocking boot loader again.... that was really stupid, why I had to do that I don't know I thought the errors would go away... but now I have some crappy old lg logo which I had a year ago like I just bought a phone, now I cant get past or even see CM boot logo, just the red old lg logo. So I guess that's what is called boot loop? Its not first time I got this problem and fixed it somehow, but now I don't know what to do because I cant even get into cwm, the only way to get in there is to flash cwm again and if I power off my phone the combinations of cwm doesn't work, so that's why I need to flash again so that it could launch cwm automatically. Did I messed up my boot partitions or something ?
Things I have:
6.0.1.5 cwm from nv flasher
CM10.1 a new nightly in my phones internal memory (I install them like 2 times a week through cwm without problems) which I thought could fix everything by installing a rom with not messed up system files (I've put it into phone before this problem occurred)
but I cant install any zip from sdcard like I did every time before because it sais E:Cant mount /sdcard/ (WHAT???)
I don't have any backups -_-
internal and external memory which are both full and cant access in cwm by pressing mount usb storage, it doesn't work..... So it means I cant make a backup in cwm.
Things I want to do:
Get back to phones previous state. I think its possible because its not like I have erased the data, I just messed up boot partitions, yes ?
I also don't want to loose my data on sdcard/emmc or what ever its called. (on my phone both internal/external memories are called sdcard). Ofcourse if there is a way to somehow make a backup without cwm then Its okay if loose my data, then I can do a factory reset.
Maybe I cant install zip from sdcard because this cwm is bad? Will a newer version also say that I cant mount sdcard (I never had this problem in any cwm's that I have used).
I hope someone can suggest me something . If I wrote something not clear or haven't said some details, tell me I'll try to explain.
!EDIT: Ok I've managed to fix that lol.
Things that I've done:
used All in one kit option called "flash stock rom" (even if I have already a custom rom, not stock ) then installed older cwm, it was version 5 it had a good working "mount usb storage" so my pc recognized the phone and I placed new CM rom into my sdcard (external). So after I flashed the rom, installed cwm5, I fixed permissions just in case, then deleted cache partition and dalvik cache, then installed that CM rom, somehow it still had an old boot logo and was still stuck in boot loop, then again after I used All in one kit and flashed stock rom I saw my new lg logo (black and white, not the broken one with red lg circle) so I just normally booted up phone from cwm and I have everything back without any data loss.
So I've got an HTC One on T-Mo. The CM10.1 nightly build (8/1) I had installed worked fine for a while.
Yesterday, it rebooted on its own a few times, and each time, everything I'd done since around 7 AM decided to undo itself. Texts I received went missing, apps un-updated, files on internal storage erased themselves. Every time I reboot the phone, it undoes whatever I've done. Rebooting into recovery deletes whatever zip I meant to flash!
So I already had one of the GE ROMs on internal storage. Thought I'd try flashing that. So I went into CWM, formatted /system and /data, flashed the GE ROM, wiped Dalvik, the whole deal. When I rebooted, I was once again greeted with CM10.1 the way I'd left it yesterday morning.
Restoring from a backup doesn't work either.
Tried to flash TWRP over CWM through ADB, rebooted recovery, and it's still CWM.
I'm at a loss. I can't wipe or flash or put files on my phone. Any ideas?

Solved. eMMC isn't writing, warranty replacement incoming.
I'm using CM11 on my 9305 now for more than a year. After testing twrp and phillz recovery, cm11 gets stuck in the boot animation.
even factory and cache reset or restoring an old backup do not work for me.
As a last attempt I used heimdall to flash the very same cwm i had before, delete everything besides external sd (even the internal "sd card") and restore an old backup
any ideas?
plz delete. I reflashed entire stock-rom, afterwards using CWM and CM11 everythings works now.
hi all, i made an xda account because i really cant understand whats going on with my phone
HTC One M8 running Android 6.0 (rooted)
so after rooting my phone, i proceeded to install xposed.
i flashed the zip - no problem
i installed the apk, and after choosing 4/5 modules that i wanted, i went ahead and enabled them all and rebooted to activate them.
this is where the problems started. my phone booted, however it kept on flashing a screen with the deafult One M8 wallpaper at me. after a few seconds, it came up with an error "com.android.systemui has stopped"
not sure what was going on, i went to twrp and directly restored my nandroid backup, but after waiting for 15 mins, i realised my phone was in bootloop, so i went back to twrp and did a factory reset and restored my nandroid. but again, it went into bootloop. i tried factory resetting and restoring 3 times before giving up.
my phone isnt connecting to my laptop anymore either, but if i need to flash anything i can do it with my sd card.
im not a complete noob but im still learning and ive never not been able to restore my nandroid.
thanks in advance for any help i can get

*. Flash xposed uninstaller zip and try booting your device. Link here - http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/uninstaller/
-->> use this» make a full wipe from recovery, then restore nandroid backup.
*.While restoring nand. from recovery, make a full wipe like wipe system etc.. Then restore your nand. Then you're good to go.
thanks a ton for your reply
i already tried flashing the uninstaller - didnt work
but ill try your second method. thanks once again

Hey, the 1st one won't works, Cuz you'd already did a factory data reset, so that's gonna be won't work. And you'd tried restoring nandroid over that, so that's failed.
I hope second one will works.

Deym!!
So, look at the One m8 forums, you'll get the workarounds.
I've found one here - https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...k-twrp-t3086860?_e_pi_=7,PAGE_ID10,5801529172
@chaitra26, either DL any custom ROMs and flash it via custom recovery [Twrp].
Look here for custom ROMs - https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development?
Regarding that '' no OS installed'' error, that's common when you try to reboot your device from twrp without installing any system images /ROMs.
FYI - when you full wipe your device and tries to power up you'll get the same warning.
