Hi,
I did a nandroid backup from one Note and use CW to restore it to another Note. Now my new Note is extremely slow and it reboots all the time. I tried doing a reset factory as well as use odin to reinstall the stock fw. I also install several different roms. I made sure I did a factory wipe and wipe cache each time. I also fix permission and follow the direction for each rom. Still having issues with the phone. Any help or point me in the right direction is a great help.
Thanks

You might want to try Darkside super wipe and just start fresh. If that goes well and the phone is stable, you can later use advanced restore to restore just your data. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567429Link confirming Darkside works for i717 and you can follow that link to the script or Google [TOOL]Darkside ...

Also, did you previously play around with the radio on your old Note? If so, than when you restore system from nandroid you are bringing back the old radio. A factory reset won't help with that. If all else fails, try to flash the original radio. Check Allgamer's thread for that.

Edit - Nevermind - I found a thread in Q&A section confirming it works.

I take it that it is confirmed that Darkside super wipe works on our Note?
I followed the quoted thread and compared the output of my "mount" command to the one from Skyrocket, and it is very similar but not the same. So it would be great to know if someone had tried the script on the Note, and what changes had to be made to the script (if any) prior to running it.
I took the backup from my wifes note and used it on mine. Reset and its working just fine

+1 I backed up my phone prior to exchanging it due to defect. All i had to do was restore the nandroid backup on the new one.

So I just installed Nerov4.1 which I must say I'm loving. However, my curiosity is making me want to check out axura's rom as well. I've read and seem some videos that state you should restore the phone to stock mode before installing another ROM. Is this true or can I just install another ROM through ROM Manager without having to do so? If I should restore my vibrant back to stock what is the best and easiest method to do it? I just want to make sure I'm doing the steps correctly when switching from ROM to ROM. Thanks for helping a newbie out fellas!

Thanks for the response but do I have to go back to stock mode each time I want to try a new ROM??

I'm very much just a noob, but as far as I'm aware you MUST disable voodoo. Vodoo comes automatically switched on in 4.1. If you are going back to stock this must be done.
I think you can go into clockwork recovery and turn it off. Or there's an app in the market that will be able to confirm/ switch it on or off I think.

Depends, but is recommend.

I wrote steps in the noob guide... but as I pointed out there also, you do not always need to go back to stock.
I would disable voodoo (just to be safe)
make a backup
reboot
go back to cwr
factory wipe/wipe data/wipe dalvik (advanced)
flash the rom
reboot and wait
let the phone sit for 10 minutes
reboot
restore your apps (titanium Backup, assuming you use this app)
reboot
enable voodoo if not already
reboot
If you notice any issues then you should ODIN back to stock the flash the rom.. there may be "ghosts" from the previous rom causing the issue... it's a best practice, but absolutely not needed.

You mean that all data from internal disk will be erased, inculding the titanium backups?
Thank you in advance!
im wondering the smae thing.ive been flashing a lot of roms and havent had to go back to stock but i know its only a matter of time.if you find a method that works great for you please let me know
when we install new roms doesnt the process wipe the system data and dalvik cashe.why is it better to use your method.im just a curios noob
no.. all your pics, videos, etc will still be there unless you do a format yourself.
I was on Booster Shot, did a backup in recovery, complete wipe and modified wipe, flashed Cool ICS ROM, wanted to go back, so I restore my backup from recovery, and now 4G (Wimax) is busted. It gets stuck at "obtaining IP address from Sprint" and goes no further. Any idea of how I can fix this?
Did you do a wipe before restoring your backup? Restoring a backup on top of a different Rom could cause issues like this. Try going into recovery and flash a super wipe like Chad's and then restore your backup.

I had that happen to me as well. I fixed it by entering ##3282# in the dialer, then going to edit mode (you'll need your msl). Then go in to WiMAX and reset the realm to sprintpcs.com. (even if it already says that, just re enter it). Then in the top right corner it sys save I think, or commit or something. Just make sure to save and commit. Then it should reboot. For me, 4g worked after that on more than one occasion. It's been happening after changing Roms.

Didn't try this, however, will do next time I want to do a full restore. However, I think the issue lies in what I mention below.

I finally fixed the issue after a clean wipe and fresh install of everything. However, according to what someone else suggested to me in another forum I posted this question as well to see if peeps there had an idea of what the issue was, it was mentioned issues in restoring data from an ODEX ROM to a DEODEX ROM, and vice versa I suppose, and this is what I did. Booster Shot is ODEX. Cool ICS is DEODEX. I'm sure that is where the problem fell.
Thank you both for your assistance. All is well now!

Odex to Deodex (and vice versa) data restores cause problems even using the same Rom if the dev changes from one to the other.

Hey guys so I used the return to bell stock method from the General Section of the forum after coming off the Paranoidandroid rom. I noticed that the calibration for the gyroscope does not let the ball move at all and to top it off the phone has difficulty in getting back into portrait mode. Does anyone have a solution for this? Maybe it was a bad flash or maybr some file is missing any help?

Did you restore any data to the device following the flash ?
And did you wipe the device prior to the restore of the rom ?
both of the above issues could/would have an effect on a clean restore to stock, especially when running an odin or kies restore, with old data still present on the device.
just a start point I guess.....g

So if I havent whiped in the first place I take it, even if I whipe now it wont do any good? Or should I try again with a an Odin flash?
I'm trying to flash the Santod Stock ICS, debloated, deodexed ROM onto my phone.
I'm coming from Stock GB, and I have already got S-OFF and Root with the HTC Thunderbolt All-in-one-tool.
However, I am currently confused and stuck on what to do next. The catch is that I dont get my service through Verizon, but through Mobi PCS in Hawaii which basically just offers 3G and this required me to pay someone locally to hack the phone and input manually the data settings.
Now, I notice that in the instructions for flashing this ROM is to totally wipe the partitions. Is this really necessary? Only asking because I don't want to lose the data settings and possibly have the phone not be able to have service or have to pay for the settings to be put back on.
I have already created a backup through 4ext, so I think I should be fine with that part. Is there a way for me to back up the data portion of the phone, wipe the partitions, and restore it after I flash the ROM? Besides all that, which radio should I flash first before the ROM?
I would really appreciate some help if anyone has the time.
Thanks
Since you made a nand backup in 4ext you should be OK to do a full wipe (yes you have to full wipe, data,cache and system). If something is wrong then restore your backup and you should be OK. The problem I see you having is that you will have to flash the new radios in order to flash ICS. I'm pretty sure that will mess up any settings you have for the modem which means you would have to get your phone flashed to that service again.

Got it. So the wipe is basically a full wipe? does my SD card need to be wiped too?

Nah you don't have to wipe the SD. Also, since you have to do a full wipe you can use an app called titanium backup to back up user apps and data. Make sure you don't restore system apps from gingerbread into ICS.

Not sure what went wrong, but I've just had to use flashtool. I decided to flash one of the stock roms available. I don't feel any of what resulted was fault of the Rom so I won't specify. I made another backup of my tweaked Rom, and wiped as instructed and installed. Everything flashed ok but the Rom was a little buggy so I decided to restore my tweaked backup. Rebooted to reovery, wiped then selected which backup to restore. In short, the backup was showing no partitions available to restore and wouldn't work. So, I chose my original backup of stock and that showed everything so I restored. From there, the backup said complete so I rebooted. I ended up with the flashing red and blue led and could only boot to twrp. I tried to reflash the Rom zip but it failed to open. So here I am after using flashtool, which was an adventure as well. I'm curious if anyone else at all has had a similar experience? Is it possible my twrp was corrupt in some way?

Had you ever tried to restore you backups prior? Just to make sure you had a good backup.
Did you use compression in TWRP? It's been an issue in the past. At least with the OG it was.
I have no other ideas. Sorry you had to go through that. But at least you got it fixed.
I hadn't restored prior to this, no. I think I did use compression on the second backup. Good point. One good thing, I don't have the ugly yellow spark boot ani any more. [emoji6]

Is this after Flashtool? The only way I know of to get it back is ##RTN#. And you'll need your MSL.
You shouldn't have Wi-Fi calling either then. That's the clincher.
Be safe and backup your EFS first though.

To be safe, boot into recovery and try to restore your backup. If you don't see the partitions listed, then it's probably compression.
Edit:
Don't wipe anything though!

Yep yep - Im glad this is my second LG, I never use compression thanks to all I've learned from the lgog. That sucks though dude, but lesson learned.
For the record, I've flashed several things and restored several backups already(I have two, odexed stock and deodexed stock) without any issues.

Noticed that you said you wiped before restore. I did that once on my G2 and ended up having to use flashtool.

You should always wipe first IMO. There's always ghosts in the machine. It's just an added measure to give you a clean restore/flash. Most people that have issues with roms don't wipe, and dirty flash/restore.
I've never had an issue wiping all 4. And compression just seems to never work right. At least with all the G series.

If you wipe all four and your twrp isn't on your external SD card you're screwed if you want to restore.
I always wipe when installing roms, just not restoring. Habit from using phones without ext.
I also thought I saw a wipe script built into the restore option.
I called Sprint today to get my MSL. I needed to use the ##RTN# code to get the WiFi calling app and the other stuff back after flashtool. They had me do a factory reset first to see if that would do it but then gave me my MSL without question.
Thanks again for all the info learned in this thread. I finally got around to re-rooting and re-bumping and all were smooth and easy.

I only had a problem with compression once on my OG for the rest of the time it worked fine and was a necessity because it had no external storage but anyway i just checked the compressed backup i made and the partitions show up under restore, but i havent tried it yet because i have no reason to. maybe when aosp comes out
