I have switched from my old Dx and now own a Samsung S3. I rooted it and wanted to make a good backup of the rooted stock phone before trying any mods or roms. I installed something called TWRP(GooManager) but I noticed when I ran it there is nothing that I can see that has to do with backup and/or restore. I then uninstalled GooManager. Then I tried to get to the factory Samsung backup and restore screen using the volume up, home and power buttons. Unfortunaltely it looked just like the GooManager screen....no reference to backup or restore. Then I tried EZ-Recovery which I was told was a lot like the old ClockWorkMod. I tried booting to that and again the screen I saw was the seemed to be the same looking screen as the GooManager screen. I remember reading something somewhere in the DroidX forums that removing ClockWorkMod required deleting a couple files to completely uninstall it. So I was thinking maybe something similar is required to completely remove it as well. I tried a factory reset but that didn't do it.
When I try to get to the factory backup restore screen it looked like this.....
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
power button to select.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
Obviously I can not make a backup or restore a backup with this.
Underneath that about midway on the screen in yellow it says:
# MANUAL MODE #
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Apllied the CSC-code : VZW
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
And there is a green droid in the background.
I need to make a backup that I can rely on before I start flashing things......

I have a serious problem! URGENT HELP please.
I did a clean factory because my phone was very slow. I have the V1.3 Dexters, patch 1 and 2, before restoring to factory settings nandroid I made a copy, a copy mybackup pro, and another with Titanium backup pro. After re-establish and restore the backup, everything worked fine, but soon the telephone began again to be slow.
By restoring the factory settings was not sure whether the patches were to be or not, ie had the doubt if I had to install again, well, after restoring the backup, I went into recovery mode and installed the patch again 1 ..... and my phone stopped working, when I restarted indicating left hundreds of sales each of the applications "forced closure."
I tried entering recovery mode to put it back to factory defaults, however it did not work, got stuck on the logo of Dexter's Froy.
When reset to factory mode patches are always installed or I have to reinstall? I ask this because after restoring the backup, would not let me move the applications to the SD, the re-established applications in the phone's internal memory, not the SD (which was before) and I tried to reinstall both patches.
Summary
By restoring the backup, he did everything, but applications that were in the SD, were installed in internal memory.
Newly installed Patch 1 and could not enter, indicating that there was a problem and ought to shut off.
I went into recovery mode, factory settings and was in Dexter's logo. Remove the battery and still remains in the logo.
What I can do now that he has been in the logo?
When restored to factory settings, patches are installed?
Thanks
If restoring your nandroid fails (or yields unsatisfactory results) I would restore a fresh copy of Dexter's 1.3 (Wipe data / Factory reset) & then apply Mioze7Ae's v3 update. Then grab your backup app from the market & restore what's missing.

Thanks for your answer, the big problem I have is that you get stuck on the logo of Dexters, and pressing the volume key gallery and enters recovery mode, but only gives me three options, apply update, restore to factory data A partition.
I do not know what to do, yes I made a copy before installing nandroid dexter rom, but to apply update tells me there's an error, practically does not let me do anything. I am currently downloading 4.9 and firmware RSDLite USA +. sbf I do not know if that can do something...
Hold in the volume up while turning on the device to get back in to OpenRecovery. I believe the key combinations your trying takes you to Motorola's recovery.

I say go clean install here 2.1.1 to 2.2.1 to v3 use Khal's it's Stable and fast!
Use nandroid for back up.
Install apps to EXT partition if you dont want to loose them.
Our setup is too custom to use backup apps.

THANKS! Very Grateful! I did what you told me, turn the volume up button and entered into openrecovery, I applied the patch 3, and the phone is working properly. Really very grateful, I was scared, and had already prepared my old palm center.
Greetings!

Thanks for your response, this means that the backups do not apply the applications that are in SD?
The patches remain after reestabler to factory settings?
Now that I have installed the patch 3, if I wanted to restore to factory settings I have to re-install the patches?

I think the patch remains in effect after a factory reset, no need to reapply the patch.

Hey guys, I flashed the mod located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692233&page=9
It mentioned that it would work on any Sense 4.0 Rom.
i'm running CleanROM 3.0 SE.
Since flashing, I'll get to the HTC boot logo, then the screen goes black. The backlight is on, and the softkeys vibrate when pressed, but the volume rocker doesn't work. The power button seems to turn the display on and off though.
I tried:
Wiping cache
Wiping dalvik
Fixing permissions
No luck.
Any ideas?
Can you get into recovery? It said to make a nandroid before flashing, i hope you did so you can restore.
Me being dumb, no I didn't make a nandroid backup. I got lost in the whole confidence thing.
I can access recovery though, it's all the screen will display other than the HTC logo.
I have a nandroid running now. I was thinking of making the backup, performing a factory reset, then installing TiBu and using the "Extract from Nandroid" function to get what I need out of it, unless you have any other ideas?
ADB isn't working for me, I read somewhere that CWM on the HOX had ADB working, so I can't do much on that end...
I used twrp. Mounted the sd to my pc. Then moved over a tomorrow and installed.
So delete the system and cache and dalvik cache and install the rom. Make sure you unmount the storage when you move the files

Heres my problem...
I don't have the CleanROM zip on my phone anymore. It left me with like 20mb of storage, so I had to get rid of it.
If I flashed twrp using fastboot, would it still allow me to access it and then mount USB?
My P5100 had CM10 nightly on it and was running fine until I upgraded to the latest version of CM10 after wiping the cache & Dalvik cache. After the upgrade I couldn't get Google Play to run even after wiping its data and fixing permissions so I tried to do a CWM restore. Unfortunately there was a fault restoring the Data partition and now my tablet is stuck at the animated bootscreen. If I long-press the power button it powers off but immediately restarts. There is no way to start in in recovery or flash mode. I've plugged it into my PC and the Samsung Android ADB interface is showing but the other references to the tablet all have a yellow triangle in Device Manager. I'm hoping some clever person can help me rescue the tablet with ADB. Thanks!

IF CWM is not working use Odin to flash CWM again then use CWM to flash CM10,
You may need to do a factory reset (full wipe) from CWM.
If all else fails use Odin to flash stock JB ROM

Thanks but Odin cannot see the tablet to re-flash the recovery.
Downlods mode
Then flash new firmware

That's the problem - I cannot access download mode
UPDATE - it just started in download mode! I can manage from here!!
Just for the record you can install adb on the pc and run the command 'adb reboot recovery'. This will force the tablet to reboot in recovery mode.

Jeez, this has taken up most of the day to fix. I came across many problems I have not previously experienced:
1. When the tablet was stuck at the boot animation and I tried to turn it off by long-pressing the power button it immediately restarted. The only way I could get it to turn off was by long-pressing the power button whilst it was connected to my PC.
2. Flashing the stock ROM with Odin appeared to complete successfully but it would never fully boot, it always got stuck at the black & white Samsung screen. Same problems turning it off as above.
3. Flashing CWM with Odin caused the tablet to reboot into the stock ROM which would not load, in the end I had to untick the "reboot" button in Odin, power it off then manually restart with the Vol- & power buttons.
4. The only way I could get a bootable ROM was by flashing CM10 with CWM. I tried to restore 2 previous CWM backups but on each occasion there was an error restoring the Data partition and I got stuck at the scenario at (1). The backups were made to the external SD card with CWM Touch - is the Touch version unreliable?
I would be really interested if anyone could shed any light on any of this stuff!
For how long did you let it install during the first reboot? It happened to me too, and it took about 10 minutes, maybe even more...
Also, did you try in the "Mount and storage" cwm menu the options "format system", "format data", "format cache" and "format preload" options, prior to re-flashing a ROM? I have read somewhere that for a clean install it's better to do this, as it really clears everything that could mess up the system between two different bases ROMs (like CM and stock).
What I do everytime is using in CWM these 4 "format" options, plus "wipe" system, cache and dalvik, then immediately after this I flash with cwm the new "zip" copied on the card. Then the first reboot is much longer than usual, as at this stage it installs the files, rebuild the dalvik cache etc.
Good luck

I think I gave it a good 20 mins to boot. When I got up this morning there was an error message saying that there was no room to install any more apps even though I had very few installed. Settings -> Storage would not calculate the space available so I figured that the partitions had become corrupted. I did the step by step format you described and reflashed & it all seems to be OK now.
Hello,
Installed CWM to perform a migration out from the factory original Frodo level.
Took a backup with it. When reboot instead of booting again the std Frodo level it keeps booting into the CWM recovery.
Tried to clear the caches.
Tried to download an exitrecovery.zip file (renamed as update.zip, moved into the removable card first and later into the sdcard by using the CWM USB mount), executed successfully but didn't fix the problem.
Restored the backup level performed at the begining, but still boots into CWM.
Any hint or procedure to get rid of it? Even just restoring everything back to factory levels (I'm afraid to do this drastic step and still get the CWM recovery screen when other alternative action might be applicable).
Thanks!!
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S6 via ping-pong root. Then downloaded flashify followed by the Revolution Rom. Flashed the revolution rom! All is still well...
I then went into Titanium backup in hopes to restore my messages/etc so I did restore "all apps with data", but only selected data. Once it finished, it told me to reboot, to which I now face a never-ending text box of "unfortunately, system ui has stopped"....
I'm now in Odin mode (?) with a teal-ish screen which says "downloading... do not turn off target" for the past 10 minutes and none of the buttons are working...
somehow got myself to the android system recovery page...
as of right now my options are to:
reboot system now
apply update from ABD
apply update from external storage
apply update from cache wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition reboot to bootloader
power down
view recovery logs
Next steps?

Either reboot and enter Odin mode again or try apply update from cache wipe data/factory reset.
