Having a ton of backup/restore issues.

I am having some serious issues with my phone today. What exactly is the point of formatting system, data, and cache after you wipe? What is the advantage and what happens if you just wipe and not format? I have never had issues making backups and restoring them until I started having to format before flashing these new JB roms. I have noticed that any backup I make (even ones that I have successfully restored without issue numerous times) completely stop working after I format my phone. Phone has bricked three times today.
This morning I had to bust out ODIN again and flash the Root66 (stock root) to fix the phone. Annoying, but no big deal. After I'm done I made a backup of the stock root. No issues. Then I go into recovery and factory wipe, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik. Did that twice. Then formatted system, data, and cache twice too. Flash the TasteOfBeans rom...installs no problem. Working great. Spent about two hours setting my phone up the way I used to have it. Boot into recovery and make a backup of this rom since I have set it up. About an hour goes by and I need to use my GPS so I boot into recovery and attempt to restore the stock root backup I made just this afternoon and it fails. Why the hell is it failing? Then I go to reboot system so I can at least get back into the JB rom and it just get stuck on the samsung boot logo (my boot loader is unlocked).
I had these exact same order of events occur with JellyWiz last night. I'm pretty over the whole format system, data, cache after wiping because this is the only new thing I have been doing and its cause me to bust out ODIN about three times in two days and all my backups are failing.
VERY frustrating...
To make it even worse after my most recent run in of failed restores and stuck on boot, I just ran odin again flashing the same Root 66 that I have been using to solve my issues all day and now its stuck in the Verizon 4G LTE boot.

So, even after using ODIN the phone is stuck in the Verizon 4G LTE bootloop. I flashed the Stock Root 66.
After I gave up on that, I decided to completely unroot the phone and start from scratch so I flashed the stock unrooted zip in ODIN. Same result...cant get past the Verizon boot screen. What is happening? Is my phone completely screwed or is it fixable?

Alright, perhaps you should try odin flashing the phone back to complete stock. No Root66, just factory firmware.

Odin the stock Verizon ROM.
During first reboot after Odin, sometimes the phone will hang. Pull out the battery. Count to 10. Put the battery back and hopefully the phone should boot.
....just double check all the proper boxes are checked and unchecked in Odin. PDA only.....

Bricked Phone, Help please

Hey, today i tried doing a factory reset through TWRP recovery and my phone shut off in the middle of the recovery. I can still get it back into recovery but it just gets stuck if i wanna try to factory reset and if I try to just turn it on normally it stops at the google logo.
How can I reset my phone? Thanks!

yes 50%

you can try reflashing your recovery, and you can try flashing the factory img.

[Q] ODIN Pass but Nothing has changed

Hi Guys, Need some help please!
My P3100 had CM11 on it, and one day it stopped booting, was stuck in the Samsung logo. I got into recovery, did a factory reset\cache and dalvik wipe, but has not helped. I got into the Download mode and tried flashing the stock firmware. Odin takes 92 minutes to complete this process, and I can see "PASS" displayed, but tab still stuck in Samsung logo. Infact, when I reboot to recovery after flashing Stock rom, it still takes me the CWM recovery, while I expected to get into Stock recovery. I have also tried flashing TWRP recovery, I get a Pass message, but takes me to CWM recovery again. I have tried flashing custom ROMs from this recovery, dont get any error, but tab still wont go past the Samsung Logo. Out of ideas now, please help!

Boot into Recovery
- wipe data factory reset
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvic cache
- format system
- flash new ROM (if you flash stock ROM CWM/TWRP recovery will be overwritten during first boot)

I have tried that. Several times. The CWM recovery seems to be permanently stuck to the tab. Even if I flash twrp recovery, the flash is successful, but I go back to CWM recovery.

Iocean X8 Mini bootloop

I was just doing factory reset on my phone, when it went into bootloop. I didn't do it through recovery but I used reset from phone settings. It always worked well for me. I have phone rooted and I didn't install any custom recovery. I also wiped data and cache from recovery mode, after the bootloop occurred, but the phone is still stuck in it. The phone doesn't have SD slot. Is there any way to recover from this?

1) you could flash a custom recovery and install a custom ROM
2)flash stock ROM using sp flash tool (ask if you don't know how to use the tool)
