Hello,
Need some help with a Nandroid restore. When I did the backup everything went fine, and now when I am trying to restore it, when it gets to /data it is taking forever.
I am using philz touch CWM recovery. Samsung Galaxy S5.
I started it yesterday and it is still going, it says 800/5575 mb, so it has a lot more to go... is this normal? is it really going to take a week to do a restore?
Hi,
Since you're stuck now anyway, I'd restart the phone in recovery, wipe system, data and cache and try restoring again. But it may just be corrupt. If you have another nandroid, try to restore it.
Other options are use another device with a micro SD card and put a rom, and gapps if needed on it and install the rom on your device.
Last option is to Odin flash stock firmware again.
If you want other ideas or need further help, please ask in this dedicated help thread for your device,

Thanks for the help! Do you know if wiping the system will get rid of the clockworkmod folder? that is where the nandroid backup is saved...
I may just flash a new rom again, with titanium I should be able to recover everything.
Copying to the other thread too. Thanks!
I'd let the experts who own your device answer that... I'd say no, it won't.... But I don't own your device, so I can't say for sure. ?

Hi guys! I accidentally bricked my phone when changing the font style. If I remember it correctly, I may have changed the path file where-in the changes will be applied for the font style, and after I rebooted the phone it is just stuck on the startup screen.
I already tried factory resetting the phone, but I dont have CWM or even TWRP recovery if there is for this kind of phone.
I can only access recovery mode but haven't tried the factory mode yet. Will try to install CWM later.
Is there any chance that it may work again if I flash a ROM even though I am still using the original ROM?
Any other methods that I can try?
Thanks!
Hi,
You could try a rom, but you'd need a custom recovery for that, usually. Or flash the factory firmware again. I can't find anything relevant on XDA for factory files tho. So you can ask here, or contact the manufacturer...

I'll be trying it later and hopefully it works, i'm thinking of flashing the factory firmware again but I can't find the files though.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you. Thread closed.
Im new to the whole rom thing and simply wanted lollipop on my galaxy s3 but whenever I want to flash the rom and the gapps it says unable to mount and it lists all these errors, it will normally boot back into the stock touchwiz, I have sprint kit kat 4.4.2, I cant do anything when I go to recovery twrp (2.8.6) it says that I have zero data in my internal and sd, I was wondering if there was any fix to this. Thanks you for your time.

I rooted my SM-T111 with method given here:
http://techbeasts.com/2014/07/09/install-cwmtwrp-recovery-and-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-lite-sm-t110sm-t111/
Well rooting went smoothly,afterwards I just simply went to Recovery Mode(Just to explore).Afterwards I decided to reboot into system and kept aside my tab and went to complete some work.When I came back I found that it was still at the TWRP recovery page.I tried rebooting again and again and again...
Everytime I kept returning to the same screen.
I searched around the web and came across some solutions,however none of them are completely for my device so I want to ask for some advice.

Considering that I never actually Flashed a ROM or Did an OTA update , would the above mentioned methods work without f*cking my tab more than it already is.
Should I flash a ROM for SM-T111 and check or After flashing ROM use the code or do something else.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Any Help is appreciated.

I used to have CWM, but it started giving me problems so I flashed back to the stock firmware . The problem is once I flashed it, it wont boot and gives me a message saying that the image size is too large. Is there any way to fix this? I cant go in recovery mode... Only download. Please, I really need help here.

Hi there - at work we have a number of these Lenovo S6000 tablets. One of them has been returned to us with a weird error that keeps making it reboot at random times. Before I throw it out, I was going to have a go at wiping it and reflashing - just in case it is a software/OS error rather than hardware.
As I said, we have loads of these kicking around, so I've rooted a known good one using framaroot, made a Nandroid backup on an SD card using Online Nandroid Backup, but I can't restore it onto the target device (also rooted) as I don't have a custom recovery installed (neither TWRP or CWM are supported on the Lenovo S6000, apparently).
Is there a way to restore from the backup without going into recovery mode? Or, is there another custom recovery I can install that would support the S6000, does anyone know?
Many thanks in advance
