[Q] 1439802MB Data partition? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I'm trying to make a backup of my phone but apparently I have over a terabyte of information on it lol. I've wiped everything multiple times. I flashed back to stock and rerooted and it's still the same. Any suggestions?

Here is a new one for me - Random Reset's

So here is one for ya.
I can't access my SD Card at all with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25816870#post25816870 rom installed. I click to mount SD card and nothing happens. In recovery I can access the SD card backups etc
I find it strange. Although I do have to ask, I have been having this weird problem. I have Clean Rom 4.3 Installed (ICS) and I have been getting some random reset's and slow this or that. So I saw 4.5 was out - It literally reset everyime your open something and I mean anything Bam reset. However I installed the above rooted bleh bleh stock os (I do not have s-off so I used the PH img) I made sure I had no other boot images on there. Installed setup got everything ready. I have gotten 3 resets in 11 mins so far so now I backed up to Clean rom 4.3 and I have no idea what to do.
I also did the following:
Flashed back to STOCK o.s.
Then Downloaded the above linked rom, cleared data (everything) installed software patch and rom reset back up and same problem. I have been flasing rom's on this phone for a while now and this is the first time no matter what that I get these crashes and resets. Did I miss something?
You really should s-off that puppy. It is pretty easy, and will get you out of messes.

I assume you're always wiping data and cache.
Have to tried Fix Permissions? I don't know if this rom has it in it's settings, but using others I've corrected some weirdness by wiping the cache and then running fix permissions.
Were you seeing the same thing with the stock rom? Or just using clean rom? Might try a different rom for a bit to see if the issues follow you there.
S-OFF isn't going to help you with this. It's perfectly fine to flash your boot image outside of Aman-Ra. I do it all the time.
Are you wiping everything between flashes?
I recommend using this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562176&highlight=clean
Flash it first and it wipes the needed partitions clean.
If you're still on the GB firmware, you need to flash the old firmware patch after the rom install also to get SD card access.
If none of the above helps and you're still on the GB firmware, set the phone back to stock using the GB RUU, otherwise you will have to s-off it so you can do the same.
Yep full wipes between flashes. I didn't keep the stock Rom for more than about 20 mins.
I didn't see a way with the debloated stock New leak to fix permissions. But with the 4.5 clean Rom I did that and it made no difference.

Stuck at Samsung logo after Titanium Backup Restore

Searched, but found nothing specifically related to this. I was on CM10 and flashed back to stock until they get the bugs worked out. Flashed back to stock via Odin with Samsung toolkit v. 2.1. I had backups for TB so I decided to restore missing apps with data and system data, however whenever I did, the device would get stuck at the samsung logo. I suppose this is due to conflicting system files, so the device doesnt know what to boot from, but how can i avoid this in the future? I thought TB was the ultimate answer when switching roms to transfer data, this is the first time I've had trouble with boot issues with TB.

You're getting boot loops from restoring system data, thats a big no, no. Missing apps and data, I usually dont have any problems with that. The only "ultimate" is do a nandroid backup in CWM
True, but nandroid replaces system so it wouldn't be best when switching roms, correct?

[Q] >1min. crashes and can't restore /system

I unlocked and rooted my Atrix 4g (international) yesterday, and though everything seemed to go well I have two big problems now.
I've tried two ROMs so far, Avatar http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140902 and another CM 10 one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781970
With each of them, the flash goes fine, but once everything is booted up I have less than a minute before the phone resets itself. the problem is exactly the same between the two roms.
Fine, says I, I'll go back to the CWM backup I made. Nope. When I try to restore one of the two nandroid backups, I get an error "error while restoring /system.
SO, while any help finding a solution to the reset problem would be a huge help, just getting back to my restore point is probably better - I'm pretty clearly out of my depth.
Re: [Q] >1min. crashes and can't restore /system
Did you try formatting /system through CWM?

I haven't, but I managed to find a fruitcake of the stock ROM for my phone and flashed it, so I have a functioning phone at least. I'm curious about the reset problem, but I don't think I'll be messing with my phone any more.

Cant make a backup "HELP"

Every time i try to make a back up it almost finishes and then it fails ive tried every recovery out there and i get the same results almost done and then fail. Im running 4.3 stock deodexed rom and have mj9 radios updated through odin, I even tried backin up other roms and run into the same problem FAIL. Im not sure what to try next to get this to work...HELP!!!
Have you wiped everything? Internal, external sd card, and everything else in a normal wipe? I found I had a corrupted file on my data side, and until I wiped the phone clean it wouldn't backup. You would to save everything important to a pc, and then reload afterwards. I am just offering what worked for me, it may be that you have a different problem. Good luck....

Bad Internal Storage?

A week ago I was getting ready to do a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. When I tried backing up, it said that I didn't have enough storage. When I went to look at what was being backed up, I saw that the /data partition was 40 terabytes in size. I reformatted everything and flashed a new ROM and started having problems trying to enter a new APN (I'm on AT&T with Verizon Note 2). Eventually I ODIN'd back to stock 4.1.2 and then re-unlocked the bootloader. I reflashed TWRP and saw that /data was back to normal. Then I flashed a new ROM and encountered this.

I tried a few different ROMs and the problem persists, and I can't enter new APNs which is rather inconvenient for the times when I need use the phone part of the device. Anyone have any ideas what is going on with the internal storage? Perhaps the NAND has gone bad? Any information or insight into this would be greatly appreciated.
