I did a Nandroid backup before flashing a custom ROM. ROM installed successfully, but upon reinstalling my backup through CMW, it fails. What am I doing wrong, and any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

Any ideas what the problem is and or how i can fix it?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try using 4ext recovery

Excellent, thanks. 4ext actually tells you why its failed. Problem solved.

[Q] Flashing CM 10.1

You may have noticed from my post count that I am indeed, a noob.
I have just rooted my gt p5100 using cf autoroot, and am wondering what to do next in order to flash Cyanogen Mod 10.1.
I presumed that I must flash cwm recovery and then flash cm image using cwm, could anyone please confirm?
Yes. Next order of business is to install cwm. Make a nandroid backup, and follow the roms instructions (as in deleting cache, formatting data, etc..)

Thanks for the quick reply, but how do I make a nandroid backup?
Its in cwm boot. Youll find it. Always make backups before trying a new rom or make a substantial change.

Yeah so everything went pretty smoothly, no problems, except for a few bugs here and there... Might consider flashing BAKED Blackbean.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Flashing TWRP over CWM delete old back ups?

So I'm thinking of flashing TWRP over CWM. I've discovered that the backups made in CWM can't be restored in TWRP from other threads. My question is, does flashing TWRP automatically delete the old backups? Any info would be appreciated.

not too educated on the subject but maybe they handle backups differently and cannot be restored through each other.
It won't delete the old backups just won't read them.
It shouldn't delete them, but yeah, they won't be read by TWRP. If you go to your clockworkmod folder, they should still be there and fully functional if you choose to go back to CWM.

Awesome, thanks for the info guys!

[Q] Stuck on Samsung logo

I have a friend who has the Skyrocket.
He is rooted and has TWRP installed, but he is still running the stock rom and kernel.
Today his phone randomly rebooted and now it is stuck on the samsung logo. We have been able to take out the battery and boot into TWRP no problem.
We do have a backup from a while back and he is also considering trying a new rom at this point, but we'd like to be able to get this to boot.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get this thing to boot? What could have caused this?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
If the backup is a nandroid backup made in twrp restore that in twrp

We do have a twrp backup and can restore it, but we're hoping to find something that will fix the boot issue.
Do you think it could possible fix the problem if we flashed a new kernel and then tried to boot? Can't hurt, right?

You could try the kernel our you could also try wiping just cache and dalvik. I assume you're trying to save the data.

We aren't trying to save the data. We already have a backup. We're trying to get this thing to boot without flashing a new rom or reverting to a backup.

Nandroid restore issue on S4 i9500 after xposed framework

Hi,
This is my first post on XDA, so please forgive if i miss some of the things !! So i will start with the issue i am facing. I was running Prism Barebone v14.6 on my S4 i9500, i was trying to install the Xposed Framewrok for Lollipop but somehow i missed the part where it said that "Xposed it not yet working for Samsung TW roms and you will end up in bootloop if you flash it".
So as expected i ended up in bootloop, so i tried to restore my Nandroid backup from Philz recovery. Everything went just fine in the recovery but i was again stuck in bootloop and my phone was not proceeding from Samsung logo loading screen. So i flashed the PB rom again and restored my apps and data with Titanium Backup.
Since then i am having strange issue that for some reason i am not able to restore my Nand backups even after creating the fresh nandroid backups. I was creating the Nandroid backup using "Online nandroid backup" tool; so i thought maybe the issue could be with this app(though it worked just fine on my previous rom Omega v27).
So finally i thought of creating the Nandroid backup from PhilZ recovery and the weird thing was nandroid backup creation failed at "/system" saying "Error backing up /system".
So please guys help me understand what exactly went wrong and how can i fix this. I am facing this issue from last 2 days and i have tried everything which could think of, so i need help from you Android Gurus out here !!!
Thanks in advance !!

Have you tried TWRP ? PhilZ development has been stopped, so you should think about switching someday.
I would do it like this:
-Make a nadroid backup with your custom recovery
-Perform a full wipe
-Flash latest stock firmware via ODIN
-Let the system boot up
-Flash custom recovery and check if the error persists
tried TWRP as well however i was still getting the same issue(boot up process getting stuck at samsung logo screen). Will flashing the Stock Firmware reset the recovery also to Stock recovery ?
Can anyone please reply !!

Yup, stock firmware will restore everything. Flash it as i linked it earlier. Once done, perform a factory reset in stock recovery before you boot up android.
