When I restore a Nandroid Backup, I get the following error message:
E: Unable to find file system (first period)
E: Unknown restore method for '/efs2'
I also can't install a new MIUI ROM - the process gets stuck.
Please advise!!!

I am getting 'some symlinks failed, status 7 installation aborted' error while trying to flash custom roms using cwm 6.0.33.Als I am unable to restore my stock 4.2.1 rom of which I had taken a backup.Please help me.
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999L), and after rooting it (worked perfectly, checked with Root Checker) I used TWRP (v2.7.1.0) to backup Boot, System, and Data.
Problem #1: That backup is nowhere to be found using TWRP Restore.
I then proceeded to Install cm-10.2.1-d2tmo.zip, which Failed.
It says:
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found
assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader") == "T99
9UVDLJA" | |
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/exter
nal_sd/cm-10.2.1-d2tmo.zip'
Error flashing zip
Updating partition details...
Problem #2: Since no backup and CM flash failed, I have no OS to return to and can't do anything with it now.
Help? :crying:
I was trying out some ROMs. At first it was fine. Then when I flashed a particular ROM, I started getting "INVALID IMEI" and could not connect to the network anymore.
Luckily I had a full backup of the phone taken with TWRP. I could not see my backup listed in the TWRP that came with the present ROM. So I flashed the Recovery with which I backed up the phone. (TWRP_v2.7.1.1_P780_ROW_KK_Corrected found in stympy's KK rooting tutorial) Then I could see the Backups listed.
When I tried to restore it, it failed with this error:
Code:
Unable to mount '/data'
I guess the partitioning changed. Anyways, I could restore 'Nvram' alone and the INVALID IMEI got replaced by "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY".
How do I fix this? Can I somehow restore the backup (by fixing Unable to mount /data)?
This is what I am intending to do. Flash a working ROM again (http://www.needrom.com/download/ultralight/), but using my old partition table (the corresponding scatter file would be one among the three provided by stympy in his KK rooting tutorial), and then attempt a restore from TWRP.

I've tried TWRP_v2.7.1.1_P780_ROW and TWRP_v2.7.1.1_P780_ROW_KK (using the scatter which came with the ROM, ultralight) and they give the same error during backup.

I think your storage partition is corupted!
Try to flash again your stock firmware!
Hi I have tried to flash CM 12.1 to my S3 mini, so i downloaded ROM, did backup (but it went wrong, i think it didnt fully back up) and wipe cache, data and davik. After that i wanted to flash my ROM, but error appeared, that Installation aborted. So I tried to restore backup but it said "MD5 mismatch" and if I try to reboot It goes to recovery mode everytime. I read that flashing rom can be aborted because of old CMW ( I have v6.0.2.7 ) and if you get the newest, installation is ok, but what can I do? I cannot go to normal boot to Android and if I connect my phone to PC it reacts, but as unknown device and I cant open storage of my phone, so I cant update CMW recovery to flash my ROM.
EDIT: Now i get into ADB and sideload, everything going well but when I tried to install rom it said * failed to write data 'protocol fault (couldn't read status): Invalid argument' *
*Bump* i have the same problem..... not getting any where with this can some one help me out ....
SOLVED! I flashed stock official samsung ROM throught ODIN and after I used TWRP recovery instead of CWM and flashed CM 12.1 .
