i tried to install villianrom and its stuck on a villainrom load screen =[
Wipe and then flash again.
ok i did that, it worked but after i went to CWM and restored my files its stuck at the boot screen again?? do i just keep trying until it works or am i doing it wrong??
Wipe cache and dalvik cache, and try again, you may not be able to restore stuff with cwm, that's what titanium is for.
Nandroid in cmw is more for full system restore.

I completely bricked my phone. i was rolling on fr008 and it was working fine. i nandroid packuped, then tried cyanogenmods 6.1.1... it's now bricked and whenever i do a nandroid backup it stays on the loading screen... help anyone?
Can you get into clockwork mod? If so, do a data wipe/factory reset, then clear cache, then on advanced menu clear dalvik cache. Then reinstall latest FR008ddx

So I am assuming you are able to get into recovery? If so please try to get into the advanced menu and do a "wipe dalvik cache". Next, backup 1 menu and wipe your cache partition and user data, then try and boot your phone. When switching from the FR series to CM or vice versa you need to wipe dalvik and regular cache plus user data. Also when you try and flash roms make sure your phone is not plugged in, clockwork recovery does not work the same when your phone is plugged in. If you flashed CM while your phone was plugged in then you need to attempt to flash again with your phone unplugged.
Thanks guys, that really helped, ill try it know
Thanks for the help guys, but do you know how to get my nandroid backup to work? because its factory reset, and everytime i try to do a nandroid backup i have to repeat this process... help again?

Forget the nandroid backup its corrupt

What do you mean it's factory reset? If you restored your phone back to stock I don't believe you can use nandroid. You should be in clockwork recovery to use nandroid. The factory reset/data wipe from recovery does not bother nandroid in any way that I am aware of. Are you trying to restore a nandroid backup?

Eh, oh well, thanks for the help guys, ill start moving everything back....
Dont use clockwork recovery when plugged into your computer, thats the only conclusion i can come up with for why your nanodroid backup is corrupt...
Signatures are fancy.
Yeah... make sure you're unplugged while you're doing this and be sure to wipe the cache as mentioned above. You can then put a rom on your SD and flash again, then go back and flash your favorite rom or go back to factory.
cant stress it enough, read the install instructions and ALWAYS wipe before flashing(or is that flushing? j/k)
anyway, you should be able to Nandroid Restore. and the previous posters were right, the only way to enter recovery properly is with the phone unplugged, then power on holding the volume down key, select recovery and Bingo!!
let us know how you made out
Thanks guys, got everything up and running again, and thanks for the instructions

am I correct that i can flash cwm through twrp, and i'll revert back to cwm? if it is, where do I get the actual file to flash? sorry to bump and be a pain but i've been searching non stop and can't find any help with this particular issue.
Earlier today I tried flashing a JB ROM after doing a complete wipe/reset of my ST15i.Data,system,cache wiped.
After getting an error 7 I restored my previous ROM using TWRP but weird thing happened.
All my apps on SD don't work.
No icons in launcher,nothing.
I can see them however in the Downloaded section of the system storage menu.I cannot either run or move them back to phone.I get a message that apps don't exist.
What's happening here?
What can I do?
Restoring another TWRP backup same thing happens.
Fixing permissions didn't help.

AW: Restoring ROM went wrong?
I've noticed that, too and it's such a f**king problem. TWRP doesn't backup .android_secure (the apps on your sdcard) and when you did the wipe data/factory reset you've wiped that data
I guess there's no way to get your data back, if there is, please tell me (and OP of course). I was lucky because I had a titanium backup from these apps and I could simply restore it

That's what I did too.
Not THAT big of a deal,
but a PITA for sure.

aha. So twrp does have a catch.

Re: Restoring ROM went wrong?
Try cwm backup and restore option i use that only and cwm is more reliable then twrp

Re: Restoring ROM went wrong?
I can also confirm this by comparing backed up ROM sizes between TWRP 2.3.3.0 and CWM 6.xx recoveries.

If I take a backup from cwm can I restore it via twrp?
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro
I think twrp is supposed to back up .android.secure. Try hitting the sd-ext radio button under back up and see what happens.
What's that?

No it is not possible to restore cwm backup via twrp

Hello guys!
Today i installed ClockworkMod Touch recovery and installed SuperNexus 2.0 Build 4 Rom , the whole process took less than 5 minutes. But before i installed SuperNexus i did a "Nandroid?" backup which went fine and took lots of space xD Anyway i proceeded with SuperNexus and it installed fine and played with the rom for a few hours ... i decided to restore the backup so my whatsapp and all that stuff comes back .. i didnt know that it'll restore system too! Ofcourse the phone went on a bootloop so i went to CWM and wiped data/factory reset and the phone booted with Stock 4.1.2 and the phone is kinda slow at the first boot ... now i dont really know what to do :/ The nandroid backup is large and im afraid the SuperNexus rom wont fit and it'll cause errors n all xD Im really stuck at this point , should i repeat installing SuperNexus?
EDIT: I cleared 4.6GB of space , what to do next?
the backup restore shouldn't have caused a bootloop, that's weird.
it restores everything - system and data. so if you want to keep the data when switching ROMs, use Titanium backup or something if the sort. try restoring again. if it fails, try a custom restore of /data

Im not sure if its a bootloop , it keeps restarting boot animation after 1min , i fixed it anyway by wipe data/factory reset option thru recovery and its on stock now booting fine , Shall i flash SuperNexus again normally ? Other than wipe data/factory reset is there anything else to do ?
I mean, if you don't care about your data being lost - then sure
Yeah no probs , contacts on sim and pic's and movies on sd card , Ill just have to redownload my games and all Ill charge my phone then proceed , thanks One more question. Since I installed SuperNexus before does it have system files that I need to delete? Or wipe data/factory reset will cover it?

no, a data wipe will do.
Success Thanks for the help xD I learned a lesson Ill use titanium backup from now on
I had my phone rooted and successfully got superuser access. From Rom manager, using cwm, i planned to backup my rom as i was intending to flash a custom rom in a few days. When i started the backup, my phone rebooted into cwm and the backup was finished in like 2-3 minutes.
It rebooted again but to the cwm and not android. I cleared cache and dalvik cache. Still rebooting into cwm. I tried restoring from sdcard using my backup of ROM. But it gives a md5 mismatch error. Please help me to figure this out! And access my android. I dont want a new rom. :crying:
Worked it out myself! Thanks!
