So yesterday I decided I was going to play around with the different roms like I do my phone w/ my tablet.. Bad idea. The same usual steps to backing up and restoring are supposed to be the same. maybe not so much.
I decided to try out the new Revolution theme by thor, so i made a backup of where i was at before the wipe and subsequent install. Install went on without any issue, I played with it for a while, decided I wanted to go back to my latest backup. Performed the restore and went to bed.
When I went back to the tablet it had successfully rebooted with all my prior settings in place. Except one thing. Superuser wont work, and I cant download the updater fix in the market. So my rooted device is now unrooted with Taboony 2.1b rom. None of the apps we are all accustomed to using will work without superuser working.
Has anyone experienced this, is there a fix I just havent seen? I have searched and searched and searched. Well versed in google

I just finished getting my tab back in shape after much the same thing. What worked for me was to get into cwm, then clear cache and delvic cache. Re-installed the rom (ezterry's rooted stock in my case) and I am good to go. I did not clear data. Hope that this helps.

With reflash of rom you will have root again, but do a full backup of your rom using cwm and then restore your backup and you will once again be left without root.
The fix I got was, i got into cwm and flashed the new mix rom and viola, everything works as it should lol

There have been issues with SU in Taboonay. Happens after a backup / restore. I had the same thing.
For a more complete solution check the thread on Taboonay / DEV in the forum, but the short answerthat worked for me with Taboonay is : uninstall SetCPU, Reflash 2.1, reboot, reflash 2.1b. this worked for me...
Good luck!

So here's my story:
I was kinda sick of the stock ROM, so I wanted to try out the Open Kang Projekt's ICS. And in order to do that I need to install Clockworkmod on my devise, and I did. But instead of installing the official CWM (which is version 4.0.0.4), I tried this: [Recovery] ClockworkMod - 5.5.0.4 - (Update: 03/18/12), I think it has the latest ICS kernel included or something (I'm not sure, that's what he said). And then I installed Kang's ICS ROM. Everything worked out just fine, except for the fact that it takes me every time about 5 minutes to boot, which is really a pain 'cause my tab crashes alot, and there are other bugs as well. So I decided to have a stable ROM instead of an unofficial ICS. But now I can't install any other ROM. I tried CLEAN ROM, team Overcome's ROM etc. but there's no luck, I'm always stuck at boot (Yes, I did wiped anything I could in CWM).
So now, what can I do?
I have wiped everything and flashed the official CWM 4.0.0.4 with Odin onto my tab, and I think that's the only thing I have on my tab now.
If I want to install Overcome's ROM now, what do I need. Do I need to install a bootloader? A kernel? What kind/version do I need. Shall I install the kernel first and then the ROM or the other way round?
And if I want to go back to stock, what do I have to do? Can I do that with Kies?
Really need some advice here. Hope you guys can help me.
BTW, my devise is Galaxy Tab 10.1 Wifi only.
Whenever I change my ROM, I always follow the steps outlined in S0ckM0nk3y's guide (stickied in the development section).
1. Use Odin to flash stock ROM
2. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset (I do it 3 times cuz I'm anal), also wipe the cache too
3. Now you should be back to stock ROM.
Make sure to thank S0ckM0nk3y for his very helpful post!!

Do you mean the root and unroot thread? I don't really think that's what I need but I'll try to flash the stock from via Odin as you said. Thank you for your advises.
Yes, the root/unroot thread. Doing what I posted will get you to stock ROM. From there, you can try to load another ROM. I personally recommend task14 ROM. Make sure you read all instructions thoroughly as many times as necessary so that you fully understand the steps before you go on and flash anything. Task's page is pretty straightforward.

Thank you. Everything's fine now. After installing the stock rom via odin I still got stuck at boot, but then I flashed the stock recovery (the 3e one) and did a factory reset with it, everything is back to normal now. I'm on stock rom again. Thank you very much for your replies.
That's quite the process. Not sure what went wrong for you in the first place (sounds like you've never done this before, from the wording of your questions), but all I do when I flash a new ROM is wipe (dalvik, then full wipe) and then flash. Never had to use ODIN except to flash CWM (and I've only done that twice, once when I got the tab and again a few weeks ago when the CM9 team released their variant).

That's what I meant when I said "I wiped everything I could". I did wipe dalvik cache, full wipe with CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 but somehow that did not work.
But now everything's fine again, after I wipe data/factory reset with the stock recovery instead of CWM.
I'm not sure of what went wrong either, but since everything is back to normal now, I think I'll leave it this way, no more custom rom.

I was actually referring to Swammy's process. No big deal. I can't imagine using a stock ROM at this point (especially since I've been using ICS for over a month now), but to each his own.
The only reason I go through that whole ordeal is because I hate all the cluttered folders on my sd, and cwm won't clean up any of that after a wipe. I admit, my method is a bit anal...but I do always go to stock, then wipe, then install cwm and load a fresh ROM. Is there a better method that I a unaware of? I am open to suggestions!

I just use storage analyser from the market and occasionally clean house manually. Takes 2-3 minutes, and forces me to stay aware of how the storage is used (I do the same thing on my windows computer, though it takes much longer!). I probably have some useless directories but, honestly, there's no advantage to having the vanilla folder structure. But, if that's your purpose, I don't know another way. I just pointed that out because noobs will read this thread and since your post is the first response, I'm just playing damage control...

I have a Canadian S4 and rooted using the twrp method and then installed the vigin google play edition rom. Everything worked fine at first when I installed it but i was fiddling around after in twrp and thought i should format the internal storage and start completely fresh and now if I install any rom including my original backup the device will boot up into the system fine for the first time but if the device resets after that it just hangs on the galaxy S4 logo and i have to reboot into recovery and flash again. Any ideas on how i could fix this? Thanks!!!
Try this, in twrp go into advanced wipe and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system, data and android secure. Then flash your nandroid.
I don't have a nandroid I have a twrp backup

That is a nandroid.
Dont use TWRP for the S4
From what I have experience and I believe others have as well, if you used TWRP to format where you had to type yes, you are pretty much screwed trying to get things working properly again. Maybe it is certain phones, sd cards, roms, who knows, but after I typed yes in TWRP to format everything, I could flash a rom but couldnt restart and things were buggy. I had to use odin to flash back to stock, re-root and flash the rom again. Now everything is 190% considering my battery life went from 6 hours to 28 with medium usage.
I have always loved TWRP on my other phones, but for the S4, its more frustration and using with caution than its worth.
Another word of caution, use windows to fix your phone. Im on linux and its too much of a pain in the ass to use odin/heimdall to go back to stock for newbs. On windows I went to stock and rooted again in no time.
Good luck!

After doing that stuff in twrp should I flash right back to my backup of stock touch wiz or straight into the ROM of my choosing? Whenever I would have to reflash I would have to format he internal memory or it wouldn't work
Ya I did the thing where I typed yes... Crap ya its my first time doing all this stuff so you suggest I Re do all of the rooting stuff and then flash my backup I made?

You might have to. I had the same problem today where if the phone rebooted I would just get a black screen. I ended up using Odin with the stock rom, reinstalling twrp and then restoring my backup. I'm pretty sure it was a rom I flashed that caused the initial problem and only Odin would clear things up.

A couple other notes, to avoid other possible problems, use the original samsung cord when connecting to your computer. Switching USB ports can help if there are transfer or other issues. Its pretty easy and straight forward if everything works out well, but there are so many gawt dayum variables that minor issues can cause problems, though may never manifest.
Hopefully this works and please post some results to help the same in need.

Glad to here it. Have fun.
Im not rich or I would have got a newer version tablet by now, but if anyone who helps has a donate button I have no issue donating a couple dollars to the person who helps me get this done, Thanks. Or just a couple dollar PP gift. better than nothing I guess.
I just want to be sure I dont mess anything up here. I have a nexus 7 wifi model.
I used NRT to unlock and root and all seems fine. Am I correct in this:
I use nandroid backup to backup first
Put ROM file on device (where do I put it?)
Wipe (is this done via nexus root toolkit or is ok do do in the custom recovery?)
Then what, boot into recovery and find the ROM and install it via recovery install button?
Then do I do the same with a kernal? Where do I put it?
Then done?
I know there are guides around but for a complete newbie I need to be sure cause I dont always see a complete fully explained step by step. Just like when I was stock not getting SU to work after rooting via nrt, I did read to flash SuperSU.zip, but had no idea how, then when I found the file and thought maybe install from recovery meant same as flash, I didnt know the message about messing the device up was normal so I was afraid at first.
THANKS to any replies,
Been unsure for days now trying to make sure my ducks are in a row before i commit to a ROM/Kernal. I want to CPU control for both under and overclocking etc. Mainly overclock just a little. I must say I love root already, got stuff to work I couldn't before
1. Create nandroid- there's a free app called something like nandroid on line - very simple to use
1a. I'd also recommend backing up with titanium backup app. It means you can keep your app data (e.g. game progress) when switching between ROMs, unlike a nandroid which is just a backup of your device as a restorable image
2. Put ROM file on device - ROM will be a .zip file, out it wherever you want, as long as you remember where it is
3. Put kernel anywhere on device - easiest to find a kernel with .zip format (recommend M-kernel)
4. Wipe - from custom recovery
5. Hit install in your custom recovery, I always flash kernel and then ROM, but I don't think it really matters
Install from recovery and flash are the same thing.
I'd recommend only flashing ROM or kernel and sticking with that set up for a few days, then flashing the other desired element. That way, if anything goes wrong then it's easier to pinpoint.
Good luck!!

Actually that completely matters. Flashing a kernel before rom is worthless because the rom contains a kernel that will replace whatever you have just flashed.
If you want to run a custom kernel on a rom it is recommended to boot into the rom first before flashing the kernel.

If I just want root access and overclock should i just flash kernal and forget a rom?
can i revert back to stock kernal if need to? ask cause need to find a kernal that has V4L enabled for a usb camera app i use currently to use an inspection camera via usb on my tablet. I guess i need to read what various roms and kernals add. do i need to do both. Hard to know what to pick out of them, lol.
Thanks for advice.
Anyone know of a list to show ROMs with V4L enabled? None seem to mention it?
I have read and see different suggestions around on various sites. What all do I wipe? I have read cache, dalvik cache, plus other stuff. What all must I wipe before flashing a rom or kernel? I did a nandroid backup already.
PirateGhost, Ill donate a couple dollars if you help, thanks.
Thanks.
When going from one rom to a different one all you need to do in custom recovery is select factory reset.
This wipes out your currently installed apps, their settings, but doesn't touch your 'sdcard'
Wiping dalvik is pointless as it's automatically handled in the rom process, and cache is wiped in factory reset.
When switching kernels follow the instructions provided by the dev. If no instructions are provided, it's safe to assume you just flash without wiping anything.
When doing this, I'd recommend titanium backup too. When you do a factory reset, all apps are lost, but some data is kept (not sure on the details). Basically Titanium allows you to restore all your apps with data when you change ROMs.

No data is kept except what's on the sdcard. Mostly only game saves and some basic stuff. Apps databases are wiped during factory reset.

Hello All,
I am hoping the XDA community can help me out.
My current situation is that I am rooted, runnig Madhi 4.4.2 rom. I also have TWRP installed, with backup for stock rooted rom, and a backup for
my current Madhi Rom. Here lies my problem. I can't flash any other rom, nor can I flash my stock backup rom.
When I try to flash a different rom I get bootloops causing it to constantly restart, which is the same thing that happens when i try to flash my stock
backup. Can someone be kind enough to tell me what I am doing wrong (before i was able to restore my backup to stock), and what do i need to
do to be able to change out my rom. Hopefully there is a way to do so without having to bring my phone completely back to stock, then rerooting.
I've searched the threads but i wasn't able to find the answer.
Thanks in advance for your help guys.

What version of TWRP are you running and how are you wiping? Make sure you go into advanced and wipe cache, dalvik, data AND system.
Do this 3 times! Because sometimes it doesn't work. Flash your rom then wipe cache and dalvik and restart.

Thanks for the tip. I am running 2.6.3.3 TWRP.
I normally do the full wipe, but i took your advice and went into advanced wipe and wiped dalvik, cache, system & data but unfortunately still the same result.
do you have any idea of what boggered up my phone? for right now, im stuck on Mahi Rom. I can restore back to Mahi Rom, and flash Mahi Rom, but that's the extent of it.
I do recall that when I originally flashed Mahi Rom, i had to flash a patch for the Sprint version of the G2. Do you think that has something to do with my problems?
i didn't have this problem before...just kinda baffled that now its giving me issues....
Thanks for your time, much appreciated. Hope someone can help me get to the bottom of this

I'm baffled as well, I would say it's time for a .tot restore. The rooting doesn't take long really, I think you'll spend more time trying to troubleshoot than it takes to wipe and restore your apps with TBU.
Are you by chance using the zva radio?

Thanks for taking the time out to help me out. I'm afraid you might be right. It's just the the files for the .tot restore are huge! One file was over 2.1 gb, which sucks for me cause my internet is really slow. funny thing is i was dl'ing that file took like 5 hours, and when it got to 2gb downloaded, the site froze and i wasn't able to pause/resume my download. it was very frustrating.

Most roms are around 1.5gb. If you are getting disconnects it could also be causing what you see with the other roms you're flashing. Unless they are the same ones that you flashed successfully before of course.
Either way having a .tot restore file backup up on your PC is really handy to have.
