Hi, I have a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3.
Today I made a backup with TWRP and after that I flashed from JB 4.1.2 to 4.3. Now, I can't go back to 4.1.2.
Error: Restore Coplete Failed.
Is anyone facing the same problem or has any idea what I can do now?

Yes, I flashed back to 4.1.2, rooted my phone and flashed TWRP (all via odin).
Then I tried the restore function in TWRP. Without success.

It seems that everything can be restored via TWRP except "data".

Help guyz,
I was trying to use the MEdia scanner bug-fix on XXLSJ as given here by modding the AOI-Xtreme MOD by ICS-XD
Then, I reflashed the Simplistic LSJ version(clean install) and then flashed the modded AOI MOD.
I think I went wrong somewhere and landed in a bootloop.
I tried a lot to reboot into recovery but I failed.
I tried removing the battery and rebooting but no use.
Also, adb won't recongnize my device (maybe coz it's still on bootanim)
I tried a lot but am unable to start my phone.
My phone IS an I9100 International version.
Please help.

I flashed stock Rom through Odin, then flashed Siyah kernel over it.
After this, I restored a backup I created before the f**k up happened.
You'll loose your notes if you don't have a Backup

Hi guys. I wanted to go back from cm10.1 to stock 4.1.2 and did a nandroid backup with cwm 6.0.2.7 touch and saved my data also with titanium backup.
After flashing stock JB I couldnt find the titanium backups anymore which I realized are stored on internal card so after wiping everything my data is gone. Ja I know my fault. But then I thought I can just restore the nandroid backup I just made to have everything how it was before, but after doing it my screen stopped at the samsung galaxy s3 screen and didnt boot anymore.
Of course I made the backup with 6.0.2.7 and restored it with th same version, but I dont get why its not booting correctly :S
After that I thought I just root the stock phone and flash cm10.1 and try to restore again but it also didnt help.
thax in advance

It says in all the steps E:failed archive external sd
is it a problem to rstore from external sd card? so shall I just try to put it on internal?
Worth trying if you have no backup of it .

Just to make it sure. I root my s3 installing stock jb, then I flash cwm with odin and install su.zip from sd card. always get root access. is it a problem for cwm to flash it first before having root access to the phone???

CWM doesn't work without root access. Have you tried to install a complete new stock ROM from Sammobile.com? Even though this doesn't recover your data, your phone might work again.

My phone works just fine. The problem is to flash the cm10.1 nandroid backup successful to get my internal sd memory back.
btw I tried to copy the backup to internal sd but then it says md5 sum mismatch god damn it..... I just wanna have my internal sd card files back. grrrrrrrr
If you have Phil's recovery use the aroma file manager to find and move the back up so it can be seen as I'm guessing you are suffering the sd/0/0 etc problem

I guess Im just ****ed... I tried moving it with aroma and then it says error again. its just possible for me to restore the nandroid with cwm which I originally had and just from external sd and even then the logfile says everything is fine just restoring system is an error. that sucks cuz I cant boot the phone then to get access to my internal space via usb
or is there another possibility to restore internal card to get access????
Have you changed recovery versions between creating the backup and trying to restore it?

its just weird that I can restore everything exept for this cm10.1 backup. I made already a stock jb backup and I could easily restore this one :S but it doesnt help me anymore.....

Yes it does. Recovery and root are completely unrelated. Read the root guides.
Step 1 - flash recovery via odin
Step 2 - flash su zip via recovery
CWM can flash zips, backup and restore without root access to android. Root access is within android only

Okay thats what I was thinking before hand... I got another idea. can I flash a working ROM like 10.1 and then go to cwm advanced recovery and restore data instead of the whole nandoid system???

I have the feeling that my cwm 6.0.2.7 version creates corrupt backups al the time. I just set my phone up with cm10.1 and immediately did a backup on it. I tried to restore it and while restoring it says
Erasing boot before restore...
restoring boot image...
restoring system...
restoring data...
.android_secure.img not found skipping restore of /sdcard..............
restore complete funny funny
please tell me that there is a way to rescue this

What's up? Does it not boot? Everything you posted above looks normal so can't advise.
I would recommend updating to latest anyway as 6.0.2.7 hasnt got SDS fix.

No it doesnt boot if I try ro restore the backup I end up seeing Samsung Galaxy S3 screen and thats it....
I just updated to cwm 6.0.3.2 and made a backup and it also showed the above problem but this one restores and boots correctly :S
Another idea is. When I made the first backup with 6.0.2.7 I was also running on yank555 1.6c kernel. Is that important to set up the restore with a running system and this exact kernel? Please tell me what to do if so.

What is "The above problem"? If it restores and boots, its fine.

Nandroid backup takes
boot.img (kernel)
system.img (ROM)
userdata.img (Your stuff)
Its okay. Somehow I got the data restored with advanced restoring which didnt work with 6.0.2.7 but with 3.2.
close here.
thanx for your help
Yesterday I was trying some new roms and maybe I screwed something. I did try a 4.1 official samsung rom downgrading from 4.3. I had the IMEI problem but I fixed it flashing a stock rom from my carrier through Odin.
I even have an EFS backup folder in my extSD.
I've tried to flash again CM11 but it fails. All other custom roms fails too. It read "Fail" in TWRP.
What should I do?
I tried restoring the EFS folder with the backup too, or maybe I did it wrong... Don't know.

What isn't working? Did it flash successfully but not boot? Just do a factory reset. If it didn't flash completely, then you have to let us know what happened before it failed.

Ok, so typically when people say they flashed a rom, that means a custom version through a custom recovery. But you said earlier you tried to install through Odin. This is an important distinction. If you tried to flash a custom rom and it didn't work, then flashing the correct stock firmware through Odin will resolve. If you flashed through Odin and it gave you that warning, then you need to find the right one and re-try.

Yup what i tried to do is flash an arabic rom instead the Chinese stock one but if failed on the phone it said invalid at the end so if i flashed the Chinese stock one back from odin will it work or not
Yes, flashing the original firmware via Odin should get you working again.

will it work if i used samsung kies recovery
Possibly, but if the system had already been modified, I find Odin to be a more reliable fix.

Hey there,
I just got some problems with my S3.
Its the international EUR Version. I9300.
Came from Cyanogen MOD and has TWRP Recovery installed.
Now I tried to flash a new rom, but Log says "Failed". Seems because of Permissions.
See my LOG attached. My Image I want to flash:
EUR-I9300XXUGNG3-20140901145954
Is the file suitable for flashing in recovery, or was it supposed to be via odin?
Is your recovery the latest version?
Try using mobile Odin.
This was a good information.
I just installed the stock rom, but it keeps rebooting....
