Made a backup using clockworkmod, when I try to restore, my back up it starts but after trying to restore system it just jumps back to clockwork as if I just booted up recovery. Anyway I can get it to restore fully?

I have no issues restoring it. Not sure what is going on. You might have the wrong clockwork installed.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am curious about backup and custom roms on my triumph. I have great working knowledge of Linux, but the triumph is my first android device with which I want to attempt rom customization. The rom news of late seems very promising for the phone.
As I understand it, I must download the custom triumph CWM recovery.img, boot into polling mode, connect through USB to a PC, backup the recovery.img on the phone, and replace with custom recovery.img. From here, CWM is installed and I can the make a nandroid backup and then begin flashing custom roms. For any reason (including bricking), I can reverse the process to recover to the stock software?

You should be able to, but I don't know about bricking.

You can not flash a backup of a.2.2 rom over stock. If all you are looking to do is backup apps use tibu

The update.zip is something I always keep on my SD card.
From stock, just reinstall packages and then flash the rom. Also always keep a TiBu backup off your phone.
Restoring takes minutes - the most annoying part is just redoing your widgets
Yesterday I rooted my 8013 note with UEALGB software and tried to make a nandroid in high on android cwm. It would reboot recovery everytime i started the backup process. So i flashed TWRP through goo manager app then tried to make a nandroid and the same thing would happen. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Edit: I just tried to flash the stock recovery and it seems like I am stuck with cwm or twrp. I flashed stock recovery through Odin and it said it was successful but when I reboot into recovery I still have custom recovery.
Edit: Seems to only happen when I try to backup the system partition.

Zeodmaxs root without recovery first then I went back and flashed high on android cwm through Odin later in the night because I wanted to start playing around with stuff.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
The root injected image causes problems. I think you're gonna have to ODIN the original image back on it to fix it. Search around, it's here somewhere.
Go for method #2 next time. Roots without an issue.
Did you flash the the Superuser.zip file after flashing Zedomaxs cwm.tar fie in odin? This is needed to get true root priveleges.
Not sure why you can't reflash a stock rom though, that's how I've always gotten rid of root access to revert back to stock...

Everything was fine with the root however I used a font app installer that got the phone stuck in a boot loop (on the rainbow screen). How do I get back to rooted JB?
Did you do a back up of your original rom? You need to get back into recovery...
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No I didn't. I didn't see that in the instructions or I missed it. Any thoughts on how to get back to rooted JB?
Well if the font app got you into the boot loop then I don't think you lost root, I would get back into recovery wipe cache and hit reboot... See if that works... Good luck
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Unfortunately, I tried that. I think I did an accidental factory reset too but nothing has brought it back from the boot rainbow screen.
Did you unlock using EZ Unlock v1.2? You only mentioned that you rooted.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
No, I didn't use that. I followed the instructions to root found here (worked no problem until I met that $&#^%#& app) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 I think I can reset using Odin I just don't know what to use
Aight, well did you unlock the bootloader? Your response dictates the suggested route to resolve this.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I did follow the instructions to unlock the bootloader
If that's the case then you just need to boot into recovery and flash a rom. If you were running just stock rooted & unlocked VRBLK3, it's easier to just flash a rooted stock rom like the official VRBLK3 leak here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2034118
Try just flashing that, without wiping, then boot into the rom.
or
If you were on a custom rom, just reflash that rom via recovery and you'll be fine. Unfortunately you lose all your settings of you wipe data in recovery so try reflashing either option without wiping if you absolutely need to try recovering whatever data already exists in your current rom. If this doesn't work, format data, wipe cache then flash the rom.

Yes it does need to be there. If you have an sdcard just drag and drop onto it directly then flash in your custom recovery. Conversely, you should be able to boot into recovery and try connecting your phone to the laptop then dragging the zip over.
The longer method will be to Odin flash VRBLK3 and start all over from there.

Aight well since that failed, you have to do this the long way: Odin flash the VRBLK3 rooted image from your laptop onto your phone. Choose one of the two images for VRBLK3 and follow the directions.

That worked! Thanks so much. Now, what is the best practice for backing things up so that I don't have this problem again? Should I root first then backup? Do I still have to unlock bootloader? Just wanting to handle this properly from this point forward.
It should be rooted already if you installed the Odin files from MrRobinson thread. It should come with either SuperSU or SuperUser correct? You also should still be unlocked but you can re-unlock using EZ Unlock v.1.2 from the following thread and you're undeniably unlocked. You'll hear a brief audio message if it worked.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32456-app-920-ez-unlock-14-easiest-way-to-unlock-your-bootloader/
Also, please perform a nandroid back in CWM so you have something stable to return to if something goes awry in the future. That backup would have cut all this down to one simple step. You don't need to be unlocked to perform a nandroid however you do need to be rooted with a custom recovery.
Lastly, perform an IMEI backup using the "Comprehensive IMEI Backup" thread in the dev section. Do this and save the resulting Synergy zip from backup methods A and B in more than one place not on your phone. This is more so a precaution because flashing things in recovery can and may result in a complete loss of connection with Verizon.

Was curious if backups work as they did prior to the new 4.2.1? Has anyone successful done them using rom manager?
Reading in rom manager it says backups can be pulled with ADB or use rom manager backup utility. Wasn't sure if this is a new feature or there's a problem with restoring them like we use to. Thanks community!

I'm not new to rooting or anything, but I made sure to read up on the process of rooting and flashing Roms on this phone before I began. I got the bootloader unlocked, and CWM installed. The problem is the phone won't boot anything (yes i tried flashing in TWRP also) but nothing boots. It gets to the boot animation, but never goes past that. I know the first boot usually takes longer than the rest of the boots. I also tried using RSD lite to no avail. So could somebody please make CWM or TWRP backup of stock and send it my way?
There are several stock backups floating around the forums.
You didn't take a backup before the first flash I assume? That's the first thing everyone should do after putting a custom recovery on any device. Take a backup!
As for the issues with RSD Lite, did you put the phone in fastboot mode?

I normally do make backups, but of course the one time I forget to, I run into problems. And yes, I did put it in fastboot mode. I'll have to poke around some more to find one of those stock backups
Edit: Found a stock backup, and restored in TWRP. I was so tired last night it didn't occur to me to Google search for a stock backup
