Ive been having a reboot problem over the last couple of rom flashes, basically, i do a fill wipe>cash>dalvic>factory, and in most cases i do a sys. wipe as well.. clean as a whistle!!.RIGHT?. I flash rom, and it installs just fine , and boots up like a champ.... i wait a for stuff to load and settle .. then I do a titanium restore ....and then i reboot after titantim has done its thing. heres where it gets weird... it wont reboot past the boot animation..after the titanium restore, been checking other threads.. and looked at om4s troubleshooting thread , and the problem is similar to the first type of bootloop he describes, in his thread ...but im coming from a full wipe .. also tried wiping /reflashing ... same deal.. could it be a kernel issue? im running cm 10 with the latest komodo kernel.. anyone have any thoughts ?? probably i simple fix that im just missing something!!!.... edit .. now i cant flash any thing .. tru twrp .. i get " E:unable to open zip file"

Have you considered that it might be your titanium backup file is corrupted?... Sounds like its working fine until you restore your data. It may also be a corrupted sd card.
What are you restoring through titanium?

try updating your twrp to the latest version
I'm restoring all apps and sys data.. and im on the latest twrp...may be i should try just missing apps and all sys data only?.. doesnt titanium overwrite existing apps /data?
Restoring system data has been known to cause issues, always has. Try just restoring users apps/data.
i'll give that a whack.. thanks all
im STILL dogged by this problem .. i just cant figure it out .. anytime i reboot after a titanium restore it wont go past the bootloader screen .. couldnt be a corrupted titanium . file.. cuz i do a fresh install of titanium from play store after every thing i flash !!!... anyone have any ideas here?? similar prob?.. arrg!!

This might work -
1. Go to recovery.
2. Wipe data
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
3. Flash Eclair
4. Flash rom of your choice

Try reflashing recovery. I'm not familiar with your device, so you'll have to figure that out on your own. You may be able to do it through Rom Manager if you use CWM. Try flashing an older version, then update your recovery from within RM. I've always flashed recovery manually, which involves flashing a file (the name depends on the device) through the bootloader.
It could also be your SD card. Backup everything on your SD card, format it, then move the necessary files back to the card.
If neither of those fix your problems, then you may have more luck asking in your device's specific Q&A section.

Hey guys..
Firstly i would like to let all of you know..i havent modded or installed any rom/kernel for like 3-4 months..
But today..i installed some application..and i dunno after sometime..my phone restarted and got stuck on boot logo..i tried restarting it few times but the same thing..So i went into the recovery mode and wiped cache and dalvik cache and then restarted..now the phone did go past the boot logo but then a screen came saying optimizing applications and the now the phone is stuck on "android is upgrading..start applications" screen..Can anyone tell me whats wrong?
I dont wanna restore a backup as my backup is pretty old..and i didnt bother backing up as i wasnt fiddling with my phone in anyway..
So i just wanna know what can i do to restore my phone so it works again..? I dont wanna full format and resintall some rom and kernel,,
I am currently on neatrom siyah 3.3 kernel..
So can i just directly try installing the rom again from the recovery mode?
suggestions would be appreciated
thanks
P.S. Also the phone vibrates for a very tiny moment while it is at "android is upgrading" screen and then nothing happens..
Help me out please i am getting a bit worried lol..

Did u also try to reflash Rom once?
This wouldn't infact ur Rom but replace the System files...
Maybe this helps
Much success

Yh m8 i did try flashing both rom and kernel separately but nothing worked..
well i got back my phone working from a previous nadroid backup.. but yh lost a good amount of data and few contacts and sms
Now can anyone please tell me what does these options exactly do with reference to what i wanna do:
1. I created a nandroid backup just before going back to my previous 3 month old backup. Can i get back all my apps by choosing: advanced restore-> restore data from CWM recovery? If yes, how will they affect the currently installed apps on my phone and if there is a duplicate or anything?
2. Can i get back my contacts/sms?
3. What does the restore system option from advanced restore exactly mean? It only restores my rom or also sytem files and system data?
thnx again..
Hey guys this is my first time messing with custom roms and my biggest fear has come true i think i bricked my phone, at least soft brick.
here is what happened:
I decided to flash supernexus 5 rom and everything went well, however my wifi wasnt working i tried to do a nandroid recover from a nandroid backup that i had from a while back made with the same version of cmw but it i got the message "no files found" even when i had put the folder with the recovery in my internal storage in the cmw folder. I decided to do a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache but this didn't solve my problem with cmw not detecting the files then i went on and did this i went to mounts and storage as i read on a thread that mounting and unmounting everything solved the problem for a guy but this did not help either, then i went to mounts and storage and formated cache, data and system as shown in this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCoI62PG7jE&feature=g-hist after that i tried to rebot the phone but it wont get pass the inicial galaxy s3 i9300 screen, i tried whipe data cache and factory reset again but i still can't make it boot ,I can get to recovery however it still doesn't see the folder that i have there. If i connect the phone to the pc it says installing drivers for the device but it fails and i can't see the phone anymore as connected.
Please help me you have no idea how much i saved for buying this and i don't want to loose it.
this is the version of cmw that im using CF-SGS3-CWM-v5.5-v1.5

You formatted system so you have no os to boot! Flash stock Rom with Odin.
Nb.......if you are using cm10/aosp you need to flash an ics Rom, let it boot, and enable wifi before then going on to flash the Rom as wifi won't work coming direct from jb Rom

yes it was the same version only thing is that when i made it i have rooted with cf-root 6.4, but after flashing the stock elk4 leak i used cf auto root and then installed the recovery on its own but is the same version.

hmmmm......not sure what the problem is then, only thing I can suggest is flash the cf root again(not the auto one) and see if that sorts it, but I would move that backup back to its original location first
thanks again!! i will try flashing it again.

have you considered doing a full wipe and flashing the rom again, and fixing permissions or flashing a different rom to see if the audio works?

if the audio worked on one rom and not another, then the system files arent flashing properly.. what recovery are you using.. and like i said have you tried flashing the rom over.. and if so what steps do you take when doing a "full wipe" to flash the rom?

okay, ill say this once again.. *then i think ill add it to my signature*... if you take the proper steps to flash a rom.. make sure that rom is working properly before you do any additional mods to the rom and then say something like the rom is broken or something isn't working../ and also what recovery are you using.. because if your s-on and using any other recovery other than 4EXT your kernel might not flash properly...

wipe data/factory
format system
wipe cache partition
wipe delvik cache partition
flash rom
wipe delvik cache
boot rom
sit and wait till screen off and boot back into recovery
fix permissions and wipe delvik cache one more time

i just downloaded fourth bar and its great i love it and everything is working fine i just want to give you a big thanks for everything and for helping me :good:
it's no problem man, i look out for people having issues that i might have had before, or that i already read about somewhere... and yes fourthbar is one of my fav rom's for the amaze so far since its built on cm9 .. but its cool that everythings working once again.. don't forget to make nandroid backups after you flash a rom successfully and before you try and flash another rom
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?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
no, a data wipe will do.
Success Thanks for the help xD I learned a lesson Ill use titanium backup from now on
