I have been using Alliance Rom for about 3-4 months and there has been no problems so far.Last night i was browsing the internet and all of a sudden it restart and got stuck at the Gt-N7000 screen.Tried restarting the phone and rebooting it from recovery but failed.Is there a way to flash alliance rom again and still get my data back or do i have to wipe everything and flash alliance again?
My phone was bricked

If you flash alliance ROM again, without a wipe, the data will stay intact. And if you can enter recovery, the phone isn't in a brick for sure. In this case you can even take a nandroid backup and i advise you to do so ( take a backup in the backup and restore in recovery). Try flashing alliance again or else copy the data to your computer, I'm sure the phone is detected on the PC isn't it?!
I can enter recovery but do i have to wipe data before flashing alliance again?

Make a nandroid backup, wipe, flash rom again and after that you can restore apps and data from nandroid backup using Titanium Backup or other app with this functionality.
No, u can skip wiping data as you're reflashing the same ROM that you're currently running. But you ideally should wipe data for smooth functioning of the ROM, so you can also get a nandroid backup as i said and then restore the backup apps with titanium. Anyway just reflash the ROM without a wipe and it should work fine. Do check the alliance thread if they recommend a data wipe while installing the ROM everytime.

Do i have to do any formatting?
No formatting nothing whatsoever. There's never a need to format before flashing ROMs.

What i meant was formatting the preload,system and other stuff.Must i do that?
No need. Visit the thread on the Alliance ROM once and confirm
Actually u don't have to flash a new rom again if u have a sudden shut down n this is quite common nowadays
just simply go to recovery n do a backup if u afraid of losing ur data... after backup check is it successful backup
n then do a factory reset wait for 5 to 10mins once able to start up completely then go to recovery again n restore backup
choose advance restore n there will have some option ！choose restore data will do..
once u get used to it there's nothing difficult.. i'll suggest not to do any previous data restore n those
corrupted data will bring back the bootloop issue...

Well after i backup my data,i reboot recovery and check if it was a successfull backup.Fortunately it was.I factory reset my phone and switch it off immediately after it was done.The next day when i switch on my phone,the bootloop was gone!Waited for it to finish loading and once it booted up,i realised all my data was still there(my wodgets and apps)(Its a good thing for me).Its so weird because i remembered doing a factory reset the day before.Any idea what happened or how?

Sudden shut down most probably caused by high usage of RAM.
Bootloop might caused by maybe a 1yr old battery or different kernal, oc/uv n system task killer,flashing different rom
with backup n restore.
if u flash all the different developer's ROM in XDA n do a restore data u'll get ur answer "bootloop"
u can find philz fix bootloop but that's not really a solution.
try to uninstall unused app n unused system app to relase some RAM for heavy user.
when u flash different ROM try not restore backup data.
i don't think i can help much cuz we don't use the same ROM.
if u think ur ROM or Data still got issues u can test it by pulling out the battery during screen on.
pls don't try becuz i believe ur ROM n data not clean enough to take this action！

You have to restore both App+data in titanium. Well you can try to flash rom without wiping data but its is risky and often your phone may not boot to home screen. But you can always try, many people succeeded O.O

Yes you can flash another with wipe data etc.. But you could do a nandroid backup of your good rom in clockwork mod and restore your rom exactly as before.
So, I installed the GingerDX on my X8
It booted successfully
I rebooted my device, and started the CWM
I restored my data from CWM (backup and restore > advanced restore > restore data)
Then when I reboot, it froze at the bootanimation (after the SE logo)
And I have waited it for like 15 min
But still nothing happened
If I do full wipe, it will still work (I've tried already)
But I won't get back my data
SO, is there any way to get back my data from CWM and put it to the GingerDX ....?
The previous backup that you made using cwm was of gingerdx or it was some other rom..
If it was of the other rom then thats the problem.

I had the same problem, I downloaded some app and backuped via it...I can't remember what was the app...check in Google play.....and you will get it

maybe you restore in different kernel
ie : you're on B kernel, but you restore some backup from A kernel..
and you'll get stuck or md5 sum error..
when I got that prob, I just flash my X8 on A kernel and restore it
then flash the new kernel (B) and backup!
then factory reset, etc
Flash ROM
Well the exact same thing happened to me! What I did was boot into recovery , make a system backup, then install your kernel again then rom, then wipe dalvik cache. After that boot. Then after you have set everything up go back to recovery and advance restore only the data from when you couldn't boot, then boot again, I hope this helps!
You have to make a fresh start,that is the only way.eclair backed data doesnt like 2.2+

Full wipe and fresh start, You could also use titanium backup for app +data

Hi there,
I recently rooted and flashed a custom ROM onto my Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini. I'm very new to this thing and find everything quite overwhelming, but I want to learn.
I flashed this ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119219 (the v6 No Wipe version because I was petrified about losing my data if I factory reset), but the phone is now extremely laggy and buggy, so I want to go back to the stock ROM (so I can do a nandroid backup) and then try a different custom ROM like Dmod.
So, my question is, do I have to factory reset my phone to go back to stock? Or can I just flash this file (http://hotfile.com/dl/189271016/833...T-I8190N-BTU-I8190NXXALL6-1356151513.zip.html) using the CWN recovery menu without wiping? I'm asking because my phone keeps giving me an error everytime I try to backup using the CWM Recovery menu.
Thanks and if you need me to explain something in further detail, let me know.

That firmware is a zipped odin-file. Can't be flashed in CWM.
Make a cwm nandroid backup of your "/data" to your external sd (that's your installed apps)
You can also backup your apps and appdata using titanium backup or similar, for later restore.
Just remember to never backup/restore systemapps.
Backup internal sd to computer just to be sure, if you in any situation have to make a factory reset. Make sure any kind of backup is on your external sd before you make factory reset, or it will be lost forever

Backup your data in CWM, flash my ROM and restore your data with CWM.

CWM has NO choice to backup/restore only parts of the device. Only a full backup is possible.
This is only in TWRP. Pity! I only use CWM because TWRP makes corrupted backups (three times) for me.
Or is it possible to pick out only DATA from the backup? And what is happen with the dalvik cache, which
consists of the byte-code for all installed apps, optimized for the ROM which created it?
"advanced restore and restore only /data". Is this the way in CWM that you mean @benz?
JackoMJ
Yes that's exactly what I meant, "advanced restore and restore only /data"
You don't have to worry about cache and dalvik because it's automatically created on the initial start.
thx for the information Benz (usefull in the future perhaps),
but i´ve decided to use Titanium Backup.

I just bought my first Android phone - HTC One. I'm loving it so far!! The guy I bought it from previously rooted it and ran several roms on it. I'd like to copy all the files to my computer and then figure out how to wipe all the folders back to stock (no need to have all kinds of roms and folders from apps he had installed previously, etc.)
Is there a way to do this and wipe everything back to factory?? I tried to do the reset through the OS but the files are still there. I also seen factory reset in the bootloader but havent tried it since I'm still learning and dont want to brick the phone.
If you have the nandroid backup of stock the mobile.
Then goto recovery mode and wipe all data,dalvik cache, battery stats.etc..then say restore..The original stock will be back.
If atall u see old files delete with no fear using root explorer.(be carefull)
If any thing goes wrong just restore the backup through recovery....
Good luck:thumbup:

Thanks ... I was thinking the same thing last night ... I thought after rebooting into recovery TWRP had a wipe function (not sure if this does a full wipe or not).
How would I restore a backup once I wipe the device if it wipes the entire device? Use USB and upload it back to the device then restore?
Lastly, I restored into the first backup the device has on it but unfortunately it has tons of stuff already installed on it and I'd like it to be a fresh build. Additionally, I'm only on version 4.1.2 and I'd like to upgrade if possible. Perhaps I can find a newer version of the factory AT&T image which is fresh?
I seen a 4.2.2 thread stickied on here ... would that be a factory AT&T image I could restore to after wiping the entire device of everything? Or perhaps I should try the 4.3 leak or even wait for 4.3?
Hi,
somehow the software of my galaxy note got damaged. I didnt install new firmware or anything. i just wanted to shut it down but i think it freezes already there. so i took the battery out. but when i start it it gets to the samsung boot anmation and crashes and restarts again.
i can reach the phils kernal and also bootloader. i hope i can do a custom flash to fix it without that i have to wipe it and reinstall anything. which part i have to reflash to fix that?
if you can reach the recovery, then make nandroid backup and wipe data and cache and dalvik and finally restore your cache and data (or you can reflash using odin and then restore data and cache).

Thanks! Tried it but I think the backup wasn't created correct. I couldn't restore data and cache.
well I used a some months old backup. had to update a lot and to do changes but it works now.
so I will create an actual backup now.
