EDIT: I've decided to post this in an SGS3 forum instead. Can you please delete this thread? Thanks.
Hello, I'm having an issue with my Galaxy S3. I made a backup today before updating and I also reformated and wiped my phone completely. I tried restoring from Carbon (from internal and sd memory, I copied off of the computer) and at first from the SD card it worked, then it stopped. It didn't work anymore. It just got stuck at restoring. I uninstalled the app, cleared cache, restarted, even recopied all the data again. The data that previously had copied, stopped when I tried to restore again. It just gets stuck at restoring. Then if I leave it it says that it had sent a log to the developer. What can I do? I want to restore my data :-\. I'm not rooted. Just using stock Android latest build from DBT.
Any ideas? Please! I can't figure this one out :-\.
Thanks in advance.

I know there are a lot of questions about this on XDA, but no one seems to give a straight answer on how to fix this or even prevent it.
I flashed kh2 deodexed today via CWM, everything went fine.. I installed titanium backup to restore my apps, which I did, they worked fine until I rebooted the phone. Then the apps dissapeared, and the home screen shortcuts display the SD card icon and they won't open "Application is not installed on your phone".
Then, I did a wipe to data and cache partitions, but this time I restored apps only (without data) one by one, as I needed. Not as a batch, as I did last time, and was working ok. Though, I thought I'd try the ICBINB kh2 ROM, so I flashed it fine. Restored apps through titanium backup, this time one by one, mostly apps only (some of them w/ data) and was working fine, but suddenly the apps dissapeared again.
I'm about to wipe the phone to fix this... but, is there a way to prevent this from happening again?
Is restoring data from titanium causing this?
Well there has been many direct answers on this topic. Factory reset. restore from cwm, not TB.

hey, didn't know that. **presses thanks button**
I just restored apps via cwm, fixed permissions and it's working. It even got my settings back.. wtf. I was living under a rock all this time.
But is it completely safe? I guess that for GB builds, doing backups and restoring this way may be harmless, but probably not the same story if coming from a froyo rom.
Anyway, thanks a lot.
yea, what i did was flash both 2.2.1 and 2.3+ fresh. then backup each and whatever rom you go to, flash the corresponding backup.
I have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus (rooted stock 4.0.4). I decided I would test out Clockworkmod touch recovery before doing anything too serious with it. So, I made a backup, rebooted, deleted an app, went back to recovery, and restored my backup. But, while it was restoring my data, it suddenly stopped and said "Error while restoring /data!" I rebooted and, after waiting through a really long boot, it booted into a semi-reset version of my phone. All of the apps claim to be installed but will not start.
So, thinking it could be a touch recovery issue, I flashed an older version of clockworkmod recovery and tried restoring after clearing my data, cache, factory reset, and Dalvik cache. Still, the exact same thing happened. I also tried restoring older backups, but the exact same thing happened.
What is going on, and what should I do? Thank you for your time.

There may have been a corruption in your data backup. Just delete that backup and make a new one.
Nope, I tried all three of my backups and had the same problem with all three. Plus, I can't simply make a new backup. I tried restoring to the backup and lost my stuff because it didn't finish restoring my data.
I'm having some issues with cwm too. Sometimes when I'm trying toi recover, it says "md5 mismatch", maybe its a linked problem?

rommanager
Install rommanager.apk premium and, to me is to solve the problem
So, I think I figured it out. Apparently, I only get this error when my backup contains more than a certain number of apps (or possibly the /data is over a certain size). Granted, I do have over 350 apps, but why is CWM Recovery messing up while trying to restore a big backup? It really should not affect it, but it seems to. So, I will be backing up with Titanium for my apps, and making nandroid backups only when I have under about 350 apps installed. If anybody else has any insight, please share it with me. Thanks.
The Answer (I am pretty sure...)
Okay, I think I finally figured it out. The reason it was not restoring properly was because I had about 350 user apps installed. My guess is that, while restoring, the recovery (CWM recovery in my case) puts the /data onto the RAM, and the RAM is not large enough to hold that much at once. I deleted a lot of apps, backed up in CWM recovery, and restored back to the backup, and everything worked flawlessly. I am surprised that no one has ever had this problem. So, in the future, I am making Titanium backups of all my apps, batch uninstalling a bunch of them from within Titanium (so that I have under 300 at the most), and then making a backup. Then, I can flash a new ROM, recover, or whatever and finally use Titanium to put all my apps and data back. I just thought I would post this in case anyone else ever finds this problem. It was really frustrating for me, but the insufficient RAM theory seems to explain it. Post your thoughts on the matter.

its better to use titanium backup application for you.user friendly and worthy..
Hello. I would be grateful if somebody could help. I have a rooted gs2 gt-19100 running omega black/blue rom v5.2 which is ics 4.03. Last night I backed up my internal sd to a laptop (copy/paste). I then went to the settings and did an erase of internal sd as was very low on space. It then rebooted and everything looked tickety boo. i moved soome apps to folders in the app screen then rebooted, can't remember what for but It seemed important at the time. Anyhoo when it started it went to the screen saying "samsung galaxy s2" and has hung there everytime i boot ever since. I can access nandroid but will not let me do a restore as saying wrong checksum. I also have access to download mode. Can anyone help me out of this pickle? I'm not really sure what to do to resolve this, I am dowloading an open europe firmware and was thinking of using odin to install and then re-root. Is this correct?:confused
If you can access Download mode, and not CWM, Odin would be your best bet if you're looking to reflash in order to fix your issues. Tons of guides around for using Odin to flash. As long as you never tick the box to clear EFS, there's not much you can do with it that's irreversible.

Use odin. It should fix the phone.

Here's a link that may help..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457458
So I was able to successfully root my AT&T HTC One X and decided I wanted to install the CM 10 ROM (1st ROM install). I did all the data backups with Titanium, downloaded the latest zip files from cyanogenMod (both the 12/13 and 12/14 nightly versions), transferred them to my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), did a back-up, did a system wipe, flashed the ROM and then did a reboot. However, when it boots it gets stuck in the boot-up screen (bootloop) and doesn't do anything. I have read on this and it keeps saying to wipe system data again and flash the ROM again and it keeps doing this. I want to install this ROM, but I need some help. Any suggestions on what I did wrong?
Note: I accidentally posted this in the Android Q&A section, so I apologize for the double post. I just think this is probably the best place to get my answer.
Did you flash the boot.img?
I did, but incorrectly the first time. I flashed it the right way and everything is working good. Then only problem I have now is when restoring from Titanium Backup it gives me an error from a process called com.android.phone (I think that is what it said). So I wiped it again and rebooted and everything is fine. I can reinstall all the apps, but what could cause that? Could it be some of the data backed up doesn't cooperate with this ROM? Either way I love the CM10 ROM.

if they are backups from sense, that *MAY* cause problems, but don't quote me on that. I don't use sense, can't say for sure
OK, maybe that is why. Not a big deal since I haven't had the One X too long. Thanks for the help guys.
Good to know
Hi guys i need some help badly. So i installed factory image 5.0 and all went fine with a modified flashall.bat as google messed up. Everything bootee up then i rooted and flashed twrp and reset the phone. After sorting and downloading my apps i normally run sd maid and a reboot. HERES the problem: after each reboot i do ALL my apps get reset to when they were first installed i.e. all my saved setting/passwords gone. Ive tried doing a wipe but its keeps happeneing.

Have you checked if SD Maid is compatible with Android 5.0? Maybe that is the problem
Hi yh it works nicely so i dunno what it is. I do have a hunch that it had summat to do wit root/twrp but anyway forget it gonna stick wit cm11 m11 from now on. Thanks for advice tho
