Hi guys,
I've a problem with my 9305, yesterday I've made a backup like I have always did on my 8190N few months back. And I wanted to mess a bit with rom. But after restoring it I've bootloop. I'm using android 4.3 stock/rooted.
Wipe/factory reset doesnt work.
Thanks for any help!

I had the same problem. It happens after restore from previous 4.3 backup.
I removed external SD for safety. Backup your internal SD , if you have access through custom recovery[
I flashed another 4.3 through Odin.
I did factory reset through android recovery(not cwm/twrp) Warning: this will wipe all your data in your internal sd.
Then it worked.
Later I restored from cm 11 backup. I didn't tried stock restore again.
(I tried different other ways nothing worked. )

Am using HTC Incredible S HBOOT 2.00
I recently unlocked the bootloader and installed ClockworkMod recovery and Cyanogenmod 7.1 ROM.
Before installing I took the backups properly. I tried restoring the same before installing the new rom. It was restored successfully.
The issue came when i booted with Cyanogen and used that for sometimes. and now I wanted to restore it.
I did reset the phone and wiped off davik cache as well.
I restore one of the versions and it resore everything and given a message ""Error while restoring /sdcard/.android_secure!"" at the end and I rebooted the phone, It kept on rebooted in recovery mod.
Am unable to use my mobile now. As a beginner to android I dont know wat to do.
Please help me ASAP. I want to get rid of this.
possible corrupt backup or old version of cwm. Try reinstalling the rom.
Hey,
I have been using CM10 Paranoid Android since it came out on the Note, I am on 2.51 version.
Yesterday my SD Card wouldn't mount so I rebooted the phone, after the reboot it got stuck on the animation (Jelly Bean Android). So I rebooted it again and this time it booted, but every application was 'Not Responding' I couldn't even get to the lock screen.
Ever since then I can't boot it up it stays on the Jelly Bean Man animation. Keep in mind I didn't install any apps, I didn't update the Rom since it came out ( a few months ), it just randomly stopped working.
I am wondering what to do.
Thank you.
Start with cleaning cache and dalvik cache in your recovery.

If you have a backup of your Rom (made in recovery) and/or backups of your Apps (made with Titanium Backup):
Factory reset and reinstall this Rom or install another (JB stock) Rom.
If you do not have backups:
Factory reset and reinstall this Rom or install another (JB stock) Rom.
And be sorry, that you didn't make backups.

Do you have any idea what happened? It was so spontaneous. I have a back up of the ROM, however it was before I installed APPS, and TB didn't work on my phone so I could never back them up.
So factory reset is the only way?

If TB never worked there was already something wrong with your configuration.
No, I don't have an idea what could be wrong - only hoping that it isn't a hardware problem.
Yes, that's why I would install a stock JB rom with PC Odin first: if this succeeds you'll have working configuration again - if if fails we can analyze the errors in PC Odin.
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?
I have a new n900a with stock 4.4.2. I rooted the phone with the TowelRoot and then installed SS 4.72. I backed up my phone with a nondroid backup via SS, titanium backup as well as Helium all on my external SD . The problem is that I tried to flash the Alliance ROM v6 and it didnt work. So I said, hey I've got a full backup lets just restore to the stock ROM and no foul. Well it happens that it FAILED and I noticed that SS cant mount the system partition.
From what I have read, the stock system file for AT&T is not available so I cant flash a stock rom back on my phone. I think that somehow the phone got corrupted. I tried wiping, format data, delvic cache, data, etc. via SS 3.72, nothing works. SS shows the system partition empty. I suspect this may have happened because the ROM I was flashing was based on using SS 3.71. The developer said I should not have a problem flashing the ROM with SS 3.72. I've been flashing roms for a couple of years but have never come across this and am totally stumped. Can anyone point me in the right direction or do I have an $800 brick?

Head on over to the soft brick thread for instructions on how to undo what you did. If that fails, well, you always have the hard debrick method.
