I downloaded Trickdroid and everything is good. before I did the download I backed up stock in TWRP.
When trying to restore stock it says 'completed' in about two seconds and when I then reboot I'm still on Trickdroid.
Was I meant to do a nandroid in cwm? Can't think why TWRP wouldn't just restore.
Obviously I still have the stock image on my sd card in the recovery folder of TWRP, so would there be any other way of flashing/installing it whilst bypassing TWRP if I have to?
I faced a similar problem and I freaked out. I installed MIUI to test it and then after I tried to restore my Trickdroid nandroid. Every time I boot the phone after restoring, it kept asking if I want to use the miui launcher and then an error appeared saying your phone has stopped and nothing works.
I did wipe everything (system, data, cache, dalvik) but the same thing happened over and over. It also refused to install any new ROM. I thought I had a brick. Then after a couple of reboots to recovery, I could install a fresh trickdroid and then on top of it I could restore my nandroid.
Now I am weary of installing anything new. I have a CWM nandroid as well just in case.

I included a script which does not allow you to switch from Trickdroid to another ROM as it's the best anyway
Just kidding, try to reflash your Recovery or so
Just had an idea, would it make a difference if I flashed the new boot.img before wiping the current ROM? meaning, before restoring trickdroid, I flashed the kernel of trickdroid.
Because yesterday I had the same experience again this time with CM9 and I had to make a fresh install

Don't worry, I'm sticking with trickdroid, just wanted the peace of mind of knowing I could go back to stock anytime.
Now I can't, I'm stuck with you

Hello,
Im using the TeamRogue's recovery (1.3.0) and I made a backup using this, before trying out a rom.
Now i wanted to go back to my backup, so i restored it, however it is stuck at the asus eee pad screen (boot screen).
I've seen more people with this problem and some say wiping the cache after the restore fixes it. Or when using the Super Wipe script, reboot after wipe and then restore.
Now after a lot of tries and wipes i finally got it booting fine.
However, me as stupid as I am, I tried another rom, so now I got the same problem, however only this time i can't get it to work.
Any help appreciated!
Kind regards,
ps. sorry for the grammar mistakes
What ROM were you on when you made a backup and what ROM did you try out?
If you went to an ICS base ROM and went back to a HC base ROM, you must get a HC kernel back, you can achieved this by flashing the HC ROM after your backup is done restoring.
I was on ICS and i flashed a ICS rom.
I also know about the kernel thing, ive flashed to my 3.2 backup to with no problem.
It just hangs on boot, has to be with \boot partition
Saw a few reports of this in the Team Rouge thread.
Same way to fix, nandroid restore and once it's done. immediate flash the ROM the backup is based upon. (No wipe if you want to save your data).
I had this happened to me going once going to an older ICS backup.
So.. to make this clear, i made a backup of the stock ICS.
So, i have to restore my backup and then flash a stock ICS rom or will EOS or some kind work to?
pretty much it is because eos is asop and stock is stock and some things that are different between the two are not restored when you restore a nandroid
I came from ARHD 1.2.2 and wiped cache, data and delvik and flashed to OpenSensation 200121007 with 4ext. and gapps 20120429.
all is well except Play won't restore any apps. Not looking forward to a one by one.
Any suggestions for an easier fix?
Tried removing my settings/acct and adding in Play. Finds my apps, but that's all.
Should I re-flash CM9, then gapps, then OS, then Bricked?
Yes also before flashing did you wipe data factories reset after wiping cash and dalvik? Make sure you have nandroid backup incase something goes wrong. Steps, wipe cash, wipe dalvik, wipe data factory reset, flash Rom, flash gaaps , see if that solved your issue. Hopefully it will. Best of luck. Before flashing Rom in 4 ext I always wipe data factory reset along with cash and dalvik for a clean install. Hope this helps. Best wishes .

Darn the Luck ! ! ! No change. I did from scratch.
Guess it's a one by one.
If you have nandroid, restore nandroid, use titanium backup to backup all apps, install new ROM, Gapps and restore from titanium backup.
While you are at it, I'll suggest try CM10.

I do have nandroid, bur I figured the last time I tried OS it was unstable so I didn't use the nandroid.
Is CM10 stable with OpenSense 1007, WiFi calling and tether?
Perhaps you can answer this.
Some suggested that TWRP was a better recovery. I tired it with the todays re-flash and still have these (gapps) issues. But it seems to have overwritten 4ext though it does use some element of 4ext based on the progress log.
Is there a way to delete TWRP and just go back to 4ext?

CM10 is quite stable not sure how it compares with Opensensation. Bruce CM10 is getting updates almost every other day. I asked you to try because since you are between ROM's you can get a feel of what CM10 is and how it works out for you.
Wifi calling , I don't think works on any AOSP/CM based ROM. Tether I've never used so dunno again. Check CM10 forum.
I think you can install 4ext on top of TWRP to replace it.

WTH, I'll try another. So far (knock silicon) OS is pretty stable. I think I didn't properly wipe the first time I tried and/or this kernel is better.
WiFi and Tether do work with AOSP (pretty sure OS is AOSP derived).
4ext simple wouldn't reinstall over TWRP2, although it doesn't appear that TWRP is making some use of 4ext "routines" somehow.
Since OS is stable, I'm good.

That happened to me when I changed my hboot by way of upgrading the firmware and my phone got a different android ID. I think titanium Backup gives you the option to restore the latter id number if you run it just when you are starting to setting up your phone. I didn't know that so I ended up installing one by one but gave me the chance to discard the ones I wasn't using

Howdy.
I've been using custom firmware since I got my phone over a year ago, but I'm now having big issues.
I tried to install a 4.2.2 ROM and couldn't boot, even after trying bunch of times, clearing cache, all that jazz..
So.. usually I would just put on another ROM or just restore from a backup, but I'm stuck in a weird situation.
I have a bunch of ROM backups (Clockwork Mod Recovery) going back to April last year, the 1st one is standard AT&T, then various custom ROMS (last one I used was Cynogen 10).
But I can only restore the first AT&T ROM, nothing else will restore. I also cannot even install any ROM the only way I can get a working phone is to go back to the horrible original AT&T ROM..
Clockwork mod recovery also crashes when I try to wipe cache, so think that maybe a clue....
Help!! I don't want to be stuck on AT&T ROM forever.... I miss Android 4.1 features
Thanks

What version of CWM are you on?
You can always restore to your AT&T backup, transfer all of your other backups to your external SD or computer, ODIN to stock, do a complete wipe of the phone, flash the most recent CWM from Sk8 and try again. I'd say that's your best case scenario.
mrfeuss said:

I'm on 6.0.1.4 which I believe is latest. I can't even get the original ROM to restore now either. Ughhhh hope I'm not bricked.

Try Odin back to stock before u do brick it that should fix any problems
Hi Folks, I hope this is posted in the right forum and sorry if I've missed seeing something similar already here.
I have a rooted Verizon GSIII on which I have been flashing custom ROMs and restoring nandroid backups without any problems for a while now (most recently I've been on Paranoid Android). Today I decided to try out Carbon ROM. I generated a nandroid backup using TWRP, then downloaded the ROM (the most recent nightly) and Gapps zip files using GooManager and flashed these after doing a factory reset. After rebooting the phone it seemed to start up OK... but it got as far as trying to find the network, which it unable to do. After selecting the skip option I then tried to sign in to my WiFi, but the keyboard didn't show up for me to type in the password. So I figured I'd cut my losses and just reboot into recovery and restore my PA backup. I was able to reboot into recovery and restore the backup but the PA backup pretty much did the same thing the carbon ROM did... just looped trying to find the network.
So... I'm not sure what went wrong or what to do next. Any suggestions???
I am able to boot the phone into recovery, but I'm afraid to start messing around too much without help as I'm no expert!
I do have the most recent nandroid backup and several earlier ones that did restore OK on my computer. Is there a way to flash any of these to the phone or to go back to stock?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
Wipe catche dalvik factory reset then flash fresh batch of rom and gaaps if that works well getting tru start up then flash ur backup thats what i did.. If that dnt work then u gotta go tru odin back to stock

2 question, what rom is stable to try to solve this? i see kk 4.3 etc, but i just one my baterry works ok...
3 question, is there any way to clean absolutely the stock rom? i tried wipe cache, dalvik, factory reset(again) but nothing solve.
4 question, is possible to wipe ALL including system, and install the asus stock rom using zip¿?
Thanks for your atention, please be the most specifically possible because i am new on this, and i just one my tablet for study(read books).

Q1: I think you can just flash the new recovery via the current recovery if you have the new recover zip file.
Q2: Kat Kiss works fine for me.
Q3: If you want to completely return to stock, you would have to use NVFlash. There are tons of instructions on the Dev thread. I primarily use Tubuntu for flashing with NVFlash. [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995157]
You can find other images as well. I used a stock image once to RMA the tablet but now I'm not sure where I got it. This method will ensure that every bit in your memory is exactly as it left the factory. Including the bootloader, recovery partition and everything else.
Q4: Refer Q3.
Download flashable TWRP 2.6.3.11 zip for TF101:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...ct/dl/?id=3280
You should use TWRP for KatKiss ROMs, do not use CWM
Flash that Zip from CWM then reboot fully into your current ROM, then reboot into Recovery to check it has flashed properly
From TWRP you can wipe everything and flash KatKiss & Gapps

Is this the same process for going from TWRP to TWRP? just "install" the newest version from recovery and do the reboots?

Yep, so long as you reboot into your ROM after flashing the new TWRP before booting back into recovery
Thanks for your reply, i will tray soon. So i want to clean the asus stock room to see if battery goes ok, i tried wipe data, cache, dalvik, with cwm, but nothing.
If i install twrp what more options can i try before change the rom? what more wipe do i need?? and finally, if i change the rom, is possible to go back to asus stock just flashing from recovery? or how should i do?
Apart from wiping the ROM (SYSTEM) there's not much else you can wipe, you could try wiping the same as you have already done, but from TWRP, see if that makes any difference, maybe the battery is coming to the end of its life
You can flash stock ASUS ROMs back again from TWRP yes, but you will wipe your recovery & ROM back to 100% stock by doing it
Best thing to do is to make a full Nandroid Backup from TWRP before flashing any custom ROMs, save it to MicroSD Card, then if you want to go back to the way it is now, just restore the backup from TWRP
That way you keep TWRP and can switch between as many ROMs as you like and always have your stock backup to go back to whenever you want
