I have previously installed custom ROMs before and have successfully been running wanamlite for several months, however, i tried to install CM11 today.
I installed CM10.2 first to get CWM 6.0.4 and then continued to flash CM11. It was successfully installed and booted fine but apps kept crashing such as the playstore. I decided to go back to my wanamlite backup so went back, cleared the caches and went to restore to find that it couldnt find any files. Now when i try to reboot i get the Cyanogen mod cymbol then it loads the background but with a message that reads "the process com.android.phone has stopped" and i cant do anything from there. It will still boot into recovery and download yet this happens everytime i try to boot the phone into the normal mode.
So what did I do wrong? Whats the extent of my problem? & does any bright soul know if and how i can fix it?
Thankyou everyone

With what recovery did you perform the backup? Maybe flashing that recovery will let you restore your backup.
All sorted now. I flashed the stock rom through odin and started again with the jeboo kernel and took extra care when flashing everything and now it's all working. KitKat-ed.
Missing some of the aspects of touchwiz a bit and i got a lower score on antutu than with wanamlite but i'll stick with it for a big, if only for the bragging rights when i get back to work on Monday.

I was running stock rooted and wanted to wipe and start from scratch. Wiped from CWM recovery screen and it wiped everything and some of my stock apps (browser, market, etc)
Managed to install ROM Manager, but wouldn't install the recovery. Re-rooted and had the same problem. So I decided to Odin and I'm getting stuck at cache.rfs.
I've searched and searched and can't find anything. I can get to the download screen and the screen with the phone/pc, but that's it.
I just want to get this thing working again. Thanks in advance!

OP reported for closure as he has solved the issue
please forgive me if this has been asked before. i've tried searching but can't seem to find any fix. my phone was working great but i wanted to try a new rom since i was getting bored. my mistake.. anyway i have CWM recovery on my atrix and it worked good. i've flashed roms before.i was flashing between Neutrino ROM V2.9 and V3 trying to see if i could get the CMsettings to work on V3 without crashing. anyway after a while i gave up and decided to full wipe and just flash V2.9. after the ROM flash i reboot the phone but got a boot loop so i pulled the batter and tried to boot into recovery to wipe and flash again but when i select Android Recovery it just hangs at a black screen. what happened? can it be fixed quickly because my battery before the final flash was about 30%
BTW.. i've tried to reflash the recovery through fastboot and my compute the way i did it when i fist unlocked my phone and flashed the recovery but still no luck... still hang at blank screen after selection Android Recovery
never mind i fixed the problem.... had to flashed a different recovery (in this case TWRP) and then flash back to CWM recovery. idk the reason why but it worked and now my phone is back on and just in time with only 5% battery life left after all the trial and error flashing..
ok i figured out what caused my recovery to crash in the first place. its the gapp addon. when i flash that zip and reboot i get a boot loop and my recovery is gone. first i though it was the zip file that was damaged so i re-downloaded the gapp addon from Neutrino ROM V2.9 fourm but now chrome says the zip is infected so ok i went and download the full gapp addon for CM7 rom and that flashes without crashing my recovery but when the phone restarts i can't access half the gapp like market and gmail and a few others. they show that they are installed in Manage Applications but they don't show up in the app drawer.. whats the problem now? i've never had this problem before
This morning as took my tablet the screen did not switch on, i tried to reboot then it stuck on bootanimation, then i tried to wipe; it still stuck on
bootanimation. Next I tried a complete wipe and installed a new Rom --> same Problem only goes to the bootanimation.
Then I tried to flash with odin, it tells me "complete write operation failed" and err:0x4. Nvflash isn't working too. So what can I do. I was on CM 10.1 nightly before, and evertything worked very well till this morning. I still can go to Download mode but twrp is not working anymore.
Thanks in advance in sorry about my poor english.
Regards.

@dvb127 This morning the same happend to my Tablet. Could you find a way to fix it?
I have been running a CM-Version of january and switched to nightlies a couple of days ago. I can't remember anything else I changed
What I tried: flashed a new version of CWM (6.0.3.2) via ODIN and installed the january & newest CM via CWM. Both worked fine.
Still the same problem. When I boot the tablet it reboots several times and gets stuck in the CM bootanimation. Factoryreset and wiping /data causes a reboot.

I flashed a Stock Rom with Odin first, i had to too this in a win XP PC, because it didn't work in win8, rooted again, now I'm in cm again without any pproblems.
Hey, thanks a lot - worked for me as well
Installed CWM and rooted my phone tonight, everything went well. I have a canadian sgh-i527m. I took a backup through cwm and tried to install cyanogenmod and it failed. I don't recall the error....tried two other and both both failed as well. Now I can reboot and get into recovery but when i try and restart the phone, it just reboots itself a couple times and goes back to recovery on its own.
I I tried restoring the backup and says it's successful, but then it hangs at the glowing samsung screen. I wiped the cache and device and can only get to recovery. I'm downloading the stock os for bell and will install that through odin in the morning, but can anyone help with what i'm doing wrong? I never had any issues installing many roms to my note II.
Hello, i will try to be thorough.
BUT, i am a noob and didnt write down everything i did.
Have a I717 at&t note 1. with the 4.1.2 update originally OTA installed by keis.
I recently rooted it using Saferoot. it went well and i didnt see any problems. i flashed a custom rom and didnt like it so using clockworkmod recovery i went back to the 4.1.2. I then tried pac lollipop >pac_quicyatt_lp.beta-1.unofficial_20150327< i liked this rom but needed to flash Gapps.
This is where the trouble started. i didnt/dont know the proper procedure to flash the Gapps on top of or into the rom.
I first tried >gapps-5.0.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip< and it looked like it loaded correctly. but nothing appeared in the phone. the pac rom was still working well.
I then did more research and tried >gapps-lp-20150222-signed.zip< , again it looked like it loaded well but nothing showed up "in" the phone.
right here is where things got screwy. i had been using clorkworkmod for recovery and rebooting. and i think somewhere in developer settings i clicked something about how rebooting is handled.
because after trying to install the Gapps it went into Cyanogen recovery... and loops.
no matter what i do it goes back to cyanogen recovery.
I never knowingly installed cyanogen and dont know why it all of a sudden is going into cyanogen recovery over and over.
a list of things that may have bearing:
1. i tried reinstalling the pac rom. it loads and completes but it still just goes to recovery.
2. tried different ways of clearing cache and data wipes.
3. computer, kies, and odin 3.09 do not recognize phone.
4. have proper drivers on computer. phone was previously recognized by kies and cpu (4.1.2).
5. currently the only way to get anything into phone is by pulling sd card and reinstalling with info on it then using cyanogen recovery.
6. i have searched for about 11 hours and tried a bunch of things. but just restarts in cyanogen recovery
7. i was scared to fully try things i found that wernt specifically for the i717.
8. i could not find an original gingerbread rom. they all seemed fishy (needed downloaders. or ended in .zip.rar)
9. had backed up with clockworkmod and with titanium recovery (while in 4.1.2).
I dont know if i can reach the clockworkmod save through cyanogen recovery.... if so it seems like a great option.
10. at the bottom of the screen while loading rom is.... ---->>> E: cannot load volume /misc
11. only pac rom will successfully re-flash (even though it still just goes back to cyanogen). any other flash and it crashes halfway through.... i then restart and it just loops back to cyanogen recovery.
I searched here and tried the five recommended posts.
I could not try a lot of the "fixes" because the phone isnt recognized by cpu or odin (computer does beep when connected but doesnt show up anywhere).
Can you help me get back my phone please?
