Hi, I'm a complete noob at this so help is appreciated. I rooted my Epic 4G and have been playing around with custom ROMs. I flashed the Quantum ROM manually using clockworkMod v2.5.1.0, and the phone wouldn't get any service and took FOREVER to scan media on the SD card so I tried to restore to a previous backup also made manually. It seemed to restore ok, but when trying to boot it would get stuck on the screen with "Samsung" in large white text and the website "www . samsungmobile . com" (without spaces) directly below it.
I tried wiping the cache, and then a factory reset with clockworkmod to no effect. Every time I try to restore to backup I get the following:
Checking MD5 sums...
Restoring system...
Restoring data...
.android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure.
Restoring cache...
sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext/..
Restore complete!
I then select reboot system now, which results in the same screen. I hear the usual boot music play, but the screen never changes. Please help a confused newbie!!!
Follow the process in this post to restore to stock...

This would seem to be the best path if clockwork isn't getting you anywhere.
from there I would re-root and then apply the recovery

When you're flashing the new 2.2 roms, you need to make sure you have also flash the appropriate modem as well using odin. With Quantum rom, you will need to flash the DK17 modem in order to get your phone to work properly. Instructions on how to odin DK17 modem can be found in this thread:

Additionally, when trying to restore your phone, I would suggest doing a full wipe. I was having similar issues restoring a back-up, and it would hang-up on the samsung screen. Wiping seemed to fix this problem.
Thanks for the help! I used Odin to restore my phone to stock and it's been working since. I appreciate the help.
So earlier today my phone stopped getting service . After trial and error i ended up in a boot loop so i nandroid backped and factory reset. I reflashed PAC man ROM and all seemed good, so i went to nandroid advanced restore and tried to only restore data to try and not boot loop again.this ddidn't work so i wiped and flashed PAC man again. This time however i restored the boot and system and my phone works fine. I'm unsure of what restoring sd-ext will do. So my question is, how to i restore my data now from nandroid without getting boot looped? All i really need off of it is my texts. (Apps are on titanium)

I think your best option is to download nandroid manager from the playstore. That will allow you to pull your data from your backup and restore it from the app, it's similar to the way titanium backup restores data.
I think the issue you're having has to do with restoring data from a 4.2.2 rom. Most recoveries have issues with restoring data because 4.2.2 is setup for multiuser and the data locations are different. I think when you're restoring data only, it's not actually writing your data correctly and it's soft bricking your phone.

I got nandroid manager and it worked perfectly! Thanks a million!Exactly what I needed
Hello, I recently had an issue with switching a kernel on CM12.1 AS3JL and had to do a wipe of my phone. I had a nandroid backup and from a CM12.0 17L build and have tried multiple times to restore from the backup either using the app(which i redownloaded), or through TWRP(tried both 2.8.7.0 and 2.8.6.0) to no avail. It tells me "E: unable to locate partition backup name: modem". then continues the restore and states it worked. Then when I finish the restore(I've tried the whole thing and single partitions at a time) it gives me the "unfortunately com.android.phone process has stopped" and it crashes and reboots and won't work unless I wipe and start stock. Any ideas?
Had some issues, had to flash stock. I think I flashed the wrong carrier, but flashed the correct one later. No dice.
Tried restoring EFS from Nandroid backup of previous install, also no dice. I think it threw an error, not sure what it was though. I'm getting "E: recv error on uevent" multiple times while trying to install the full nandroid backup, not sure if that's the error I got restoring EFS over the top of the last install.
EDIT: Reflashed stock, and restored the nandroid minus EFS. No recv errors. Still no SIM either.
Can anybody help?
My HTC U11 still run on Nougat.
Yesterday I want to update with the newer version of Nougat (Not Oreo)
I already make a data backup with TWRP, big backup 22Gb.
Then I update the new stock Rom from PC, it had no problem.
Go to download mode, and then install TWRP again with ADB from PC.
Go to TWRP Recovery, it still works.
The last thing I do is to try to restore the 22Gb data back to my phone.
And it always get error on 9% with "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"
I already change with difference TWRP from 3.1.1.0 to 3.2.3.0, still the same.
Restore to previous version of Nougat with TWRP (system, system image, boot image, recovery). Try to restore backup data again with no luck.
Try to check MD5 with the backup data, and it said matched, no corrupt.
Already try searching in the web, but with no solution too.
Do anyone ever have the same problem and solved it?

No, not format anything. Afraid did something would make the phone brick.

I have 2 backup. One is for system and one is data. I can restore system feom TWRP recovery, but can't restore data
After restore system,reboot to twrp and restore data
I had this problem and it took me two days to resolve it. I had a good backup and I know it was good because I had used it several times and it worked. But then after doing some system installs I got the error 255 when I tried to restore it. I tried several things to fix it and nothing worked and I really did not want to lose my backup. What did work for me was to use TWRP wipe function to FORMAT the phone. Wiping or factory reset did not work. I lost the contents of my internal SD card but I was able to transfer most to my external SD card. You could also connect the phone with a cable to a computer and use the pull command in ADB to backup the contents f the internal SD card. Given the choice between losing the SD card and the data files I come to lose some of the SD card. Anyway, a FORMAT worked when nothing else did. I read that this error is caused by a lack of space. When I checked the log it seemed that the restore was failing with a particular file which misled me to thinking I had to remove the corrupt file, but since after the format I was able to restore without any problem, it would seem that there was no corrupt data. Hope this helps someone.
