Proceed to recovery and flash it a second time and it should work. It might have to do with the CWM version you were running earlier.
Cheers!
SuperROM is only for i9100G!! While CheckROM is only for i9100!! You need to reflash superROM! Or at least to restore a backup...

can i use CM9 or any other Rom with better performance?

That means look under your battery. What does the label there say for model? If it says "GT-I9100G", then you have to be MUCH more selective on what you flash to your phone.

I've got a question about changing ROMs also. I'm currently on LeoMar75 Rom Revolution v2.4 and I'd like to change to the newest CheckROM.
From reading the thread, the process is:
Titanium backup
CWM backup
Get into the CWM recovery
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Wipe Data/factory reset
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik-Cache
Wipe Battery Stats
Install the wipe version of this ROM
My questions:
1. What does a titanium backup do?
2. What does a CWM backup do?
3. Where are the backup files stored? Do I need to copy these backup files to my computer?
4. What do I do after I've installed the new ROM? How do I restore my backups?
5. What do the backups actually restore? Will I automatically get all my apps back? Will I keep my user data (e.g. text messages, whatsapp logs, high scores in games, photos, etc)?
I've looked around a lot but and I can see a lot of people saying these same steps but I can't seem to find a description of what they actually do
I appreciate your time, thanks guys!

Differences between CWM backup aka Nandroid backup and Titaium Backup
First of all , Nandroid Backup is NOT an app. You will have an option of a FULL backup of your phone as it is condition at time of backup using a BACKUP choice in ClockworkMod recovery. Your backup here is often called a Nandroid backup . All your phone's data, apps, settings, roms, kernel etc is FULLY 100 % backup, Under this ClockworkMod recovery you will also have option to RESTORE 100 % the phone status
Titanium Backup is an APP which requires phone to be rooted. You can use TB to backup all your apps and its associated data. You ONLY can use TB in a working phone . You can't restore anything from TB if your phone crashes and cannot be rebooted. TB does not backup your kernel/roms.

may u suggest me, another way to backup sms content, thx ya
it is not another app you need, but just look a little more at the app list in titanium. depending on the language of your phone, the name might vary, but on a stock rom with english language os the entry you are looking for is:
"[sms/mms/apn]..."
of course sms app was just a hint and not the precise name.
also, this app is capable of backing up everything else you need, like pointed out, it is the simplest and most complete app for backups in preparation of changing roms.

Hi Guys,
I'm new in the android world and exploring around with custom roms. however i want to return back to a stock rom. Now i was wondering how can i do that without loosing any of my data e.g. sms, photos, save game data etc. can i return to stock using the same method going into a custom rom, using CMW just wipe dalvik cache and install rom? and will this also flash my kernel back to stock as well?
After returning to stock i will just root that and flash counter isn't an issue i have purchased Triangle Away
Thanks
You can`t, you can however copy your files to your pc and place them back after the flash.I`am using Appmonster pro to restore apps from sd to restore my apps if i`am not rooted.
You can also flash a stock rom and still keep root with MobileOdin Pro.

If you do a system upgrade it`s best to to a data/factory reset and wipe cache and dalvik cache, you don`t have to but it may result in crashings apps and system components. As fot the sms i don`t know, look in the playstore for an app for that. If you want to stay rooted backup users apps with Titanium Backup. and restore them after the flash, don`t know if texts are restored however.

Hi,
Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy S III with the Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 and I want to upgrade to version 10.0.0 which is the current version. But I dont want to wipe my data to upgrade.
The reason for this is because even though i've backed up everything using titanium backup, I have a layout which I like and lots of other settings.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Yes you can but if you hit problems you must wipe .
If you are currently running an ICS custom rom and the update is to a JB cumstom rom by the same maker then yes you still need to do a wipe.
But if you did a nandroid backup first before updating you could always try flashing the update without wiping but it could cause problems.
The devs always say to do a full wipe so that there are no problems
Hope this helped

Dont agree other wise we all have wiped phones when JB updates .
>>>>The devs always say to do a full wipe so that there are no problems
Usually they don't say full wipe but wipe cache and wipe dalvik .
Some custom roms will wipe above anyway .
My way on a new rom is to format cache and system in recovery only .
Means i just install on top of my data a new system .
But yes i have Nandroid and TB backup always and yes i am prepared if need be to go back to a stock rom after wiping the lot .
Yes i do flash a lot of roms and no i don't have many problems .

CMIIW, in theory, yes. Although in my experience some apps/games data failed to load. But in most cases it gets the job done after flashing to a new rom, which needed you to wipe everything.
Yes applications go, but the data sometimes ne.Lépe every transition from ICS need to JB, download data again.
And can I restore data only from TitaniumBackup?

You can backup just the apps or apps+data. Therefore you too can restore your data only (if you already have that particular apps installed). Try it mate, titanium backup rules :good:

I'm not sure what to do QQ i don't wanna screw this up, also i'm gonna make a few backups, cuz 1 isn't enough.
Over clocking doesn't increase performance per se.
You can use titanium backup to backup and restore your current apps. Use SMS backup+ for your texts and call lists.
Images, vids, music etc are unaffected by formatting via CWM.

If you want to switch to another ROM, I guess it's best to backup all your apps via Titanium Backup. As far as I remember, the list displays white apps, red ones and green ones. The red ones are system apps and you should backup them since they differ from ROM to ROM. The white ones are apps which you have installed on your phone (via Google Play...). The green entries are things like "Messages" "Phone call history" and stuff like that.. I guess you can backup them too.
You won't loose your contacts as long as they are stored on your googlemail-account. So no need to safe them.
Then just backup your current ROM via ClockworkMod (I guess one backup is enough :b - If you want to be 100% sure try to backup and right after it finished try to restore the backup. If it works (in 99,9% of all cases) you can just flash your new ROM - if it didn't work try to backup+restore again. As soon as you've got a working backup (I guess the first backup will be OK), flash the new ROM and restore the needed apps via Titanium Backup again. (Just download Titanium Backup right after flashing RR and you will be able to restore every single app again).
More and more ROM devs advise not to restore apps via Titanium Backup, but it always worked fine for me
Hope I helped you,

Don't be ridiculous.
What about something simple like "How to backup data before installing new rom?"
In any case you should have searched google or XDA first as there is plenty of topics on how to flash roms without losing data or how to backup all your apps/appdata etc.

I can't find the button to change tittle, it must be hidden under 3 layers of bedrock.
Anyway, i've been useing this rom since yesterday, it's awesome .. mostly
Some minor disadvantages, some things like Clock crash, won't update some things but that's normal.
My stock benchmark was 6800, now 6200 D:
Probably becouse the rom uses more RAM than stock.. Overall 8.7/10 <3
I'll keep testin.
EDIT: OH YEA! what were those "modems" it asked me when i was installing it?

You have to make a full wipe of your phone in Recovery mode. Then you can just restore /data partition from the Nandroid backup to keep all your apps.
I also suggest you fully unroot by re-flashing your stock firmware and re-root if any problem persists after trying the option i've written above.
Good luck!

Didn't you try to restore the whole backup already? If you did and it didn't work then you cant restore your full Nandroid since something has gone corrupt.
What kernel are you on?
To restore /data is usually this way but depends on kernel, which is why i asked you
Go to 'Backup and Restore' and then 'Advanced restore/Custom restore job' and press on /data option.

What kernel are you on?
To restore /data is usually this way but depends on kernel, which is why i asked you
Go to 'Backup and Restore' and then 'Advanced restore/Custom restore job' and press on /data option.

I have 2 backups, & restored both with same problem!
Stock kernel!
Could I not copy both backups to pc, factory reset in settings, re-root, then flash backup!? as both backups (one done today & one last month!) can't be corrupt surely!?

Dude, you can't do much on stock kernel. you can't flash anything from stock kernel.
I suggest you remove everything and fully unroot your device by re-flashing stock firmware (and wipe data/cache etc)
Now flash a custom Kernel and then you can flash custom firmwares.

I don't want different kernel or custom roms/firmwares, thanks all the same!

Well if you want to flash something like you tried to do before - you will need a custom kernel (which includes a custom recovery). With stock recovery you can't do much..

I just flashed latest samfirmware with mobile odin & wiped dalvik cache & kept root in the process & all is good again!
The only problem I've got now , which is one I've had in the past & forgotten how to resolve, is that I kept having a force close with rom toolbox pro, so I uninstalled & tried to reinstall my backup in Titanium Backup, but it just hangs!? I tried reinstalling it again after downloading the apk backup I have on my laptop, but it won't install coz it says there's insufficient space & tries to redirect me to apps manager in settings!
There is enough space (414mb internal memory/8.45gb internal sd/ & 27gb ext sd), as I've installed the light version straight from play store!! Any ideas on this??
Oh & I have CWM recovery.zip for recovery!
THNX!

Weird never had such issue. Try to delete it's data from application manager in settings then uninstall and re-install it again. Also, search for a odex file for rom toolbox pro in /data/app. If it's there - delete it.

Yeh, I tried all of that thnx! Got it resolved in the end, I'd already done everything you've just suggested & it worked!
So in the end, I used Mobile Odin Pro to wipe dalvik cache, enabled EverRoot, then enabled Inject Superuser & flashed last stock rom for my region from Samfirmware over the top of my corrupted rom, then all was good in the world again!
Thnx for your support m8, I should have known better but the alliance mods in the link of my first post were too good to resist, but I should have tried on deodex & not odex firmware, MY BAD!!

Glad it worked out in the end.
Also a pro-tip if you want, otherwise just ignore this:
You can flash the absolutely latest stock firmware compatible with your device even if it's not for your region

The firmware that got corrupted was "XWLSW" that was an OTA update! (I have the firmware safe on laptop! )
But the latest firmware for my region on Samfirmware, which is what I flashed, was "XWLSS"
But thnx again for the info!
