hi
o many note4 i used twrp to make and restore image
never have any problems to restore
but now on new note sm-n910f i allways get bootloop when restore?
what could be the problem?
I have seen this a couple times. If you want to restore an image, I suggest you install a clean version of the ROM you want to restore, then boot. Then go back into Recovery and restore the image you want...

I tried restoring from a nandroid backup I made and after the restore, I could only get as far as the i9000 boot screen. I went into recovery to try and flash a ROM, but CMW recovery could not mount my partitions (partitions got messed up by nandroid?) The only quick way I could think of was to use odin and refalsh and repartition.
I restored my nandroid from within CWM recovery. Is there something I am missing in the restore process? Obviously something went wrong.

Hey man, sounds like you tried to restore one system over another,
Forexample, stock over cm7? and that messes up the partitions as you see!
Try to install the rom you are trying to restore before you start restoring!
Should work then!
Hope this helps
I did indeed try to restore a ROM which was very different from the installed ROM. I will keep your suggestion in mind the next time I do a restore.
Just to confirm : yes, you need to flash the base ROM you're trying to restore.
I played with ICS over the weekend and got back by flashing a stock - well stock+ - JVZ and restoring nandroid.
Did the same thing, stupid as I am,
the big problem is that none of the computers I've tried with is detecting my phone right now.
I get in to CWM but and to download mode but that ain't helping me since i can't use Odin to flash back to stock rom.
Any ideas?
Hey guys, having some issues restoring a backup of a GPE ROM that I made with ROM Manager on a working device. It goes through the process of doing the restore and then boots to the google splash screen, but never goes past that point (waited 45 minutes twice).
The ROM is GPE 5.0.1 rooted. I'm using the lastest recovery from clockwork mod and have tried several times. Not finding anything on the web regarding this issue. Perhaps the backup is just borked?? Im (obviously) S-Off and unlocked. Not sure why im not able to restore to my prevous state. Works like a charm with cyanogenmod ROMS...
Any thoughts?
I want to help but I don't entirely get what you did.
so you made a backup and you can't restore it, right? I have some questions, if you were kind enough to answer them, I may be able to help you:
> What "ROM Manager" did you create your backup with?
> Is it an entire ROM backup, like the TWRP, CWM do it?
> What Android Version is the backup?
I am thinking that you might didn't backup the boot partition properly so you can't boot your phone. there would be a compatibility issue with your boot.img and the system and data partition. So you can boot but because of the compatibility issues you can't boot entirely and keep stuck in the bootloop. that's what I think what it is but I am not 100% sure so I asked you the questions above.
And it would be very helpful if you could make a photo of the backup restore screen (inside cwm/twrp .. with whatever of those you are trying to restore the backup)
Before trying the new official (but rooted) 5.0, I did a complete nandroid backup of my existing 4.4.4. I don't recall what version of TWRP was used for that backup, but it was fairly current.
I used Odin to flash the new 5.0, and 2.8.6.0 of TWRP.
I've had real issues (i.e. no xposed framework, crashing Pandora, etc) that make me want to step back from 5.0.
Last night, I went to TWRP, did a full Nandroid backup of 5.0 (selecting all possible options, just as I had when I backed up 4.4.4), and let'er rip.
After the backup, I did a restore of the 4.4.4. However, that put me into a constant boot loop on the very first graphic (Samsung Note 4). I tried restoring to factory, wiping everything, fixing permissions, etc. But nothing would get me beyond the boot loop.
Fortunately, I was able to restore the 5.0 backup I had just made, but now I'm stuck.
Is there anything else I can try to get my original 4.4.4 Nandroid to restore? Perhaps trying an older version of TWRP? Ultimately, I'm disappointed enough in 5.0, that I would Odin flash a stock 4.4.4 and rebuild using my Titanium Backup backups. I was just hoping there's a good workaround to the boot loop issue before I waste a day doing that.
When I downgraded from lollipop, I had to Odin stock nk4 before restoring my nandroid from TWRP. I tried to restore directly but it didn't work for me. Restore works flawless after Odin back to stock nk4 with TWRP recovery. Hope this helps.

That sounds encouraging. When it didn't work for you directly, what were the symptoms?
No work-around. You'll have to Odin KikKat firmware to revert.
No twrp back up will work going backwards.
Thanks a ton guys. That was it. I flashed stock, rooted with cf, and installed TWRP - all from Odin w/o ever bringing the phone up. Then restored from within TWRP, and first go, it all came back. Heroes... all of you.
Thx.

Another tip. If you're going to restore a backup or flash a custom ROM after Odin stock firmware, you don't need to cf auto root. Just Odin flash twrp and you'll be good to go.
Hi,
I have a Galaxy Pop Plus (S5570i - rooted) which I currently renewed by reflashing the stock rom: I’ve done optimization/customization of both system and applications and now I’d wish to do a Nandroid backup of everything, since I plan to install/test some other rom.
In the past months I’ve tried some CWM recovery which installed fine, and all CWM which I tested were able to correctly performs the Nandroid backup on my SD card, but none of these CWM recovery were able to restore the backup; I don’t exactly remember the exact error message, but was something about the mounting of some partition, furthermore this failed restorings caused my phone to become bricked and I was forced to reflash the stock rom.
By searching on this forum I've find this discussion, about another version of CWM for the S5570i, especially on the following post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27179828&postcount=119
The user in such post ( draiyan ) said that he was able to backup and restore a Galaxy Mini Plus using the Skin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip file. Well: this CWM, as the other which I tried, boots fine on my phone and as the other which I tried, has been able to make a Nandroid backup, but I’d wish to have some other confirmation: is the CWM kin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip recovery able to restore the backup? Or maybe someone can suggest me a tested CWM for the Galaxy Mini Plus with the stock rom, which is able to correctly restore a Nandroid backup?
Many thanks.

Well, I reply to myself, also for future references/needs of the people which will read this topic:
Yes: the CWM Skin1980-GT-S5360+CWM.zip recovery is able to properly backup and restore the Nandroid Backup on the Galaxy Mini/Pop Plus (S5570I), yesterday I decided to take the risk to restore the Nandroid backup and everything went fine: the restore was properly done, because using a root file explorer I made a text file under /system and /data: after the Nandroid restore these text file were no longer present, and after the reboot I found my phone in a previous state (before the restore the phone was in plane mode, after the restore the plane mode was disabled).
Hi
I made a nandroid backup recently with EliteTWRP before experimenting with custom ROMS. I now need to restore the backup, but in TWRP it is only offering me to restore the /data partition. This can't be right and of course the backup fails. The ROM I was trying was Lineage 14.1. All I get when rebooting is the Lineage boot logo which goes nowwhere.
Any advice here, do I need to go back to stock rom or can I use this backup?
thanks
