Last night, I installed TW 4.5/TW Manager. I did a ClockworkMod backup first. I decided to restore it.
However, after restoration, the phone is in a factory state. Save for my lock pattern, which it remembered, the phone is in first-run setup mode, all my home screen layouts are gone, all my apps are not in the aop drawer except those the G2 ships with. Contents of the virtual SD card like photos are still there.
I tried restoring my only other CWM backup (a November backup that previously *restored ok* to undo a MIUI test, for example), but this, too, now boots in to the same state.
What has gone wrong here?
And is there any way of getting back the system that I assume/d is/was in the CWM backup files?
If I can't guarantee I can restore a CWM backup, it makes the world a very scary place to be.
Did you wipe before restoring? Sound to me you did not.
1. Full wipe
2. Restore again.
If that does not work, wipe again and use advanced restore.
Don't use rom manager but do everything manually from the recovery.
Wipe what?
You mean, choose Wipe Data and/or Wipe Cache?

Wiped data, Wiped cache, Restored backup - still doesn't retrieve the actual backup.
Now wiped again. In Advanced Restore, what should I do?

This doesn't work either.
I had the same trouble early last month; even after a restore it was pretty much factory settings and I had to put everything back myself.
It was very irritating as I'd taken the precaution of making a backup but it still didn't work. I've pretty much recovered everything I needed to since then, though.
What excactly did you do prior to the restoring? Did you flash a new rom? If yes, what was your previous rom? Or is TW4.5 an app of some kind?

I did this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1365605
That is...
Installed TouchWiz 4.5, a modified TouchWiz launcher (left it alongside TouchWiz, set no default - home button press asked for confirmation of home screen each time)
TW4.5 comes with the TW4Manager app for controlling settings.
I downloaded the Suava theme for use with TW 4.5.
Before any of that, I made a CWM backup. Then I did the above. Now the backup (and even a backup which restored perfectly a month ago) will not restore to anything but factory new state.
And you are not getting an error message of any kind? How long does it take to restore? What is the size of the backup?

The last thing I can think of is flashing an old stock rom and then rooting it with CF-Root. Then you have an older version of CWM.
A stock rom like KE2. Then try to restore.
If that does not work find a rom which has the latest CMW. Version 5 I believe. Then try restoring it.

Hmm, are you talking about kernel?
If I'm correctly reading my rough notes from my rooting and tinkering, then my original kernel was KF3, I rooted in mid-October with an insecure equivalent (KF3) (CF-Root method), but quickly upgraded through Kies... I now have kernel XWKI4 (baseband XXKI1, build KI4).
So I moved from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4.
BUT - the backup and restore I did with CWM under the current system as recently as two weeks ago in November worked fine.

So, you're saying there - you think a newer version of CWM might have eliminated a bug or something?
Might I find any FURTHER problems by changing the ROM and trying to restore?
Thanks for your help.
ClockworkMod - merry effing Christmas.
I really don't know. But I think it's worth the effort determining of your CWM is still functioning properly.
You can also try just flashing the KI4 CF-root kernel, then boot in recovery and then try to restore.
Make sure you have important stuff backuped of course
If you can boot to working phone backup data and copy clockwork mod folder to PC .
Then try posted below . boots to working phone root it with CWM and root copy clockwork folder back then try restore nandroid backup .#
Clean Slate for those that balls up the firmware .
Backup data first if phone is working .
Boot CWM recovery
Mounts and Storage
Format cache data system sd card .
Remove battery
Boot to download mode
Open Odin
Install correct stock firmware .

JJElgan, thanks,
So let me clarify what you're essentially suggesting...
Store my ClockworkMod safely on the PC
Wipe cache, data, system and SD card in Recovery Mode
"Install correct firmware"
Then put the backup file back and try restoring
What do you mean by "correct firmware"?...
I currently have Baseband XXKI1, Kernel XWKI4, Build XWKI4. That is the firmware with which I made the backup. (I guess that's KI4?)
But the firmware I originally rooted with CWM was PDA: KF3, PHONE: KE7, CSC: KD1 (XEU). (I guess that was KF3?)
What's the aim of this here and what's the source of the info?
Thanks very much.

Ok, so I was trying to restore my V to its original condition and accidentally deleted my stock nandroid backup in the process, and now it only boots into CWM. I found two different stock zips online and tried installing one then the other. One installed but it's still booting into CWM, and the other just won't install. So I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong. I actually still have my stock nandroid backup on my PC, but unless there's some way I can boot into the bootloader, I can't do anything with it. So basically I'm stuck and couldn't find any solutions after searching around awhile, though it's getting late so I may have missed something
Edit: I had a an aospCMod zip on another SD card and installed it, and it's still just booting into CWM. Not sure what I screwed up.

The only option you have is to boot back into recovery and restore your last backup. If recovery is unavailable you'll have to use flashtool to flash a complete firmware package, root, install XRecovery and then restore your backup. If it's a 2.3 backup make sure that you're running baseband .71.

If you can get into recovery try this..... Do a backup first and then do a reinstall your current ROM. After you've done that do an advanced restore of your data and cache partitions from the backup you just made.
This should get you back to your ROM's basic system partition with your current data and cache. If everything works OK, you shouldn't even see any differences.

I mean whatever rom you were using when you installed that zip that caused the problem. It actually should still be on your SD card as a Zip unless you removed it after you flashed it.
When you restore data you'll get everything back apps, texts, contacts, history etc.....

I have a samsung galaxy S2 no reason to turn it off and back on I go into boot loop reaches the S and returns to the animation of the operator (Personal Argentina) I made the wipe cache partition remains the same. I need to urgently recover contacts and notes, is this possible? as? thank you very much

Have you tried factory reset? There is a chance you could lose data though.
If you dont want to lose data then go into download mode and flash the official ROM via odin this should recover your ROM and you wont lose anything
The /data partition could be corrupted already. If you really need the data try do a Nandroid backup from CWM, wipe, and dig up the data later in PC.
Still, I cannot guarantee that it will work though.

Well, I tell them I've got: I installed the ROM Unbranded from Argentina without achieving any progress, then install the kernel-CF-Root-v4.1-CWM4 SGS2_UH_MUL_KG7 without progress but I also discovered that the download menu (V +, home , power) was enabled nandroid!! thus perform a full system backup, wipe data / factory and Encendio!! Now I have to figure out how to unzip the backup on the PC nandroid to import contacts and notes mainly.

You can download the CWM zip to temporarily load CWM with the stock recovery, then do nandroid backup from there
BEWARE THOUGH, if you are on 4.0.4 and using the stock kernel, it will cause brick. If you're not in 4.0.4, or have changed the kernel (if you don't know what a kernel is, then most probably you haven't changed kernel)
-So you just can download this http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip
-Put that on your sdcard
-Flash that zip from Stock Recovery, and it will boot CWM
-Do a nandroid backup
-Mount the phone as mass storage to PC, move the nandroid to PC
-Reboot to stock recovery
-Wipe data from there
But I'm not responsible if this doesn't work for you, or your phone failed turn on after following this steps

Hi Obagleyfreer - sorry for being a total noob, but bewildered by the amount of data out their and having followed a load of threads related to my issue and not getting far, I turn to your seniority for support.
My galaxy s2 is stuck in a recurring error-message loop on startup leaving the phone (im pretty sure) innacessible. I can open download and reset modes though. about 20% of my dissertation data exists as photos on the phone hard-drive, and my thoughts are I might be able to recover it via rooting the phone (it currently is running gingerbread). Unfortunately the computer doesnt recognize the device when it is plugged in. You mention flashing odin - can this be done via 'update from SD' in the reset menu? I was under the impression I had to download CWM from the appstore before I could root and flash a rom, which I cant do.
I could provide many details (such as it being in airplane mode preventing me from installing apps on the phone from my pc) but i wont bore you with details if you cant help. but if you can I'd really appreciate it!

Go to sammoble.com, grab your stock 4.0.4 rom, flash it in ODIN, flash Siyak kernel and then reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset.

Why not? Surely you made backups of apps/appdata or even a nandroid backup before installing new rom?
If you made app/app data backup simply restore after wiping/flashing new rom.
If you made a nandroid backup simply use app extractor to extract/install apps/appdata to new rom.
You can also backup/restore SMS with SMS Backup from store and your contacts will auto sync when you enter googole account.
If you go back and forth between roms you will keep on running into issues. Plus flashing stock roms in ODIN wipes your apps/app data anyway so its not as if using the wipe data/factory reset in CWM is going to lose your apps as you will have already lost them.

What he meant was that if you flash a rom with Odin, you don't have to do the wipes manually through CWM again.
TB is a good app (and the most used by people as far as I know) to back up your USER apps (don't back up system apps). After flashing you can restore them, even with your app data included.

Hello guys. I am currently using Slimbean RC1 and I made a backup of my rooted stock 4.0.4 with Siyah kernel so that when I restore my backup anytime in future then will not have any super brick risks. But I have a confusion. Do I need to do a full wipe in CWM before restoring backup? Or it will wipe automatically?

Hi all,
I'm having a very strange issue with my i9300 today. I left it charging switched off overnight, and when I tried to switch it back on, it hangs on the Samsung bootscreen. I thought it was odd, but solvable. I went into recovery to try and reflash with the backup I have stored on my sdcard, however when it tried to wipe /Data, it rebooted and hung on the bootscreen again.
I initally had CWM 6.0.4.4 recovery installed, however I have tried PhilZ and TWRP to no avail. All three reboot on flashing /Data.
Anyone have any ideas?
For information, I was running 4.4 KitKat Unofficial. If you need any more information (preferably what can be pulled in Recovery/Download), I'll be happy to post it.
I need my phone running back normally ASAP!
Hi just a little confused..When you say all three reboot on flashing data do you mean data from your backup? If so your backup might be corrupt have you tried doing a clean flash with another rom or tried returning to stock?..Also if you don't want to lose data stored on your backup you can try flashing the original rom that you where on when you made the backup then using philz recovery in advanced settings/ restore you can then just restore data from your backup not the whole rom...And try formatting data system and cache but don't forget this will leave you without a rom so have one ready to install on your sd card....Hope all that makes sense

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I was trying to Format the /Data partition in recovery in preparation to restore the backup, and every time a Recovery attempts to Format the partition the phone reboots.
I understand now thanks..Mmm..If you can't format data I would probably just flash stock again with Odin get your phone stable, then try to restore your backup...

I think I'm resigned to the fact I'm going to have to replace this. Most likely with a Nexus 5. Oh well. That sets back some of my luxury spending for the month again.

Are you even flashing the correct ROM for your device with the correct model number? If yes, redownload the ROM. It could be a bad download. This time try the latest 4.3 Jelly Bean.
