Hi,
I have flashed a new rom and i wanted to restore my data via twrp.
It was successfull, but my N7 was not able to reboot, because just booting and it havent done anything.
I made a wipe cache and dalvik cache but they couldn't help.
Any idea how can i solve this issue?
im using twrp 2.4.4.0

You're confounding variables here... you're trying to use TWRP like Titanium (apps/data).
TWRP (like CWM) is a MONOLITHIC backup system, pretty much everything gets restored. Titanium is GRANULAR... and selected apps/data are restored WITHIN the ROM you've just flashed... not OVER THE TOP of the ROM, as you've just attempted to do... which will cause no end of problems.
--------
Here's what I would do.... restore your NANDROID backup as normal (factory reset, etc.)... Get TITANIUM from PlayStore. Backup your apps/data using that.
Flash your ROM... restore your apps/data using TITANIUM.
Rgrds,
Ged.

Any ideas on this one? I don't get any errors on the restore, but I am stuck on the eye every time I boot. I have tried wiping cache and dalvik cache.
About to just restore from Matt's tool, but this has me worried, you know?

Well, have to say, thanks matt. The included RSD helped.
I forgot I was also restoring stock over CM10, which may have also been the issue, but I am back into the phone now.
You shouldn't have issues restoring backup from the older version, and you shouldn't have issues restoring a stock build over CM. Did you use the restore option or did you try to install the backup?

I have no idea what caused the issue. I did a backup of CM10, wiped data, cache, dalvik, and system. Hit restore on my old Stock backup (created in TWRP, not safestrap), wiped dalvik and cache again, and rebooted (and allowed TWRP to fix root first). It booted to the droid eye, but then just hung there for about 10 minutes.
I used Matt's utility to restore the system and it failed (tried to install the same part of system over and over again, 3mb in 4 seconds, 100k in .4 seconds, over and over again). So I had to force stop that and use RSD which worked fine.
No idea what all that was about.
So I think I found the culprit. My backups from the older version of TWRP don't have BOOT, only SYSTEM and DATA. So I was probably having my stock rom install while the CM10 BOOT was still in place.

Hello,
I downgraded my N4 from CM 11 to 10.2.1. The phone boots, optimizes apps but doesn't complete the boot process/starting apps and I'm stuck in a bootloop. Should have done my research before downgrading! What do I do now? I have a nandroid backup from CWM on an external disk but I would prefer not wiping data. Would flashing the 10.2.1 kernel then the 10.2.1 ROM work? How about reflashing [dirty] the CM 11 ROM? Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated deeply. :crying:

Turn off the phone then boot into recovery and then do a factory reset (aka: wipe) and then flash the ROM that you want to downgrade.

Is there no other way but a wipe?
Also, if I may bother you with some questions:
1. Can I do an adb backup in fastboot mode?
2. If I do a CWM backup and then a wipe, will the backup be erased

When you do a factory reset, it won't wipe your nandroid backup. You can do a nandroid backup via adb commands, but it is easier to do it in recovery.

Thank you so much. When I do restore nandroid, is there any way I can selectively choose what segments of the backup I want. Eg. I do a backup NOW from recovery (CWM), wipe, install ROM and then restore selected files or apps ie I don't want the kernel etc. Is that possible?
I flashed CM11 once more, cleared caches, and booted..works fine..I'll backup what needs to be backed up and will do a wipe tomorrow UNLESS I get used to the hideous esthetics of Kit Kat in the interim.
I was on CM12 nightly, and it was working fine. I decided to flash the latest update, but before I did I performed a nandroid backup. Right after rebooting after flashing, I kept getting errors about Timely has stopped working, or Google Play Services has stopped working. In short, the phone was unusable.
So I restored my nandroid backup, and the first thing I got was that Nova Launcher has stopped working. I couldn't get it to launch into my home screen. I went with Trebuchet, and opened WhatsApp, and it says that the messages have been corrupted.
What is happening?
It's urgent because I'm flying off soon.
Did u change the kernel of your phone? Did u wipe dalvik cache and cache after installation?

I think it's related to this: when restoring the nandroid backup, it never gets to completion. Instead, somewhere around 2/3 through, it shuts off and reboots into recovery. So the restore isn't complete.
I'm thinking of switching my custom recovery to TWRP. I'm currently on CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.7 Compiled by Xiaolu. Do I just download the new recovery in .zip and flash it as per normal?
It might just show it's 2/3 but in fact finish it anyways however I am not sure about this ;/ try to wipe everything (dalvik, cache, data) and then restore your backup. If that doesn't help do the wipes again and this time wipe system partition as well.

I think the backup is faulty. I tried using PhilZ recovery to restore, and the /data and /system restores were incomplete (I know because it says Done: 600/700MB). Now it's unbootable. I'm gonna try using Chenglu to restore, then get it partially working, then use TiBa to backup all my apps before clean-flashing the latest ROM.
Let me know what the outcome is

Ended up reflashing Chenglu's recovery to restore the nandroid backup, went in to backup everything with Titanium Backup, then flashed the latest ROM (wiped everything) and set up everything from scratch
Have moved on to Philz recovery now.

I just rooted my phone yesterday and I tried to delete a TWRP backup that was on my internal memory. I was unable to find out how to do it and set permissions in TWRP, which caused my phone to start booting with unable to start messages and a black screen. I tried restoring a backup and I wiped and restored, both have still same issue.
So at the moment I can start TWRP or factory reset, but as of yet, I cannot restore my backup.
When I backed up the phone I didn't select everything, I left out data.
Since you didn't backup your data, they are a few options. Wipe dalvik and cache from recovery, dirty flash a rom, clean flash a rom.

I was using an old version of twrp. I updated to 2.8.6.0 and it all works now, thanks.
I've used TWRP to create backups of ROMs on my onyx device. However, every time after restoring a backup; upon boot into the ROM it stays at the loading screen. I've found ways to get around this by installing the specific ROM I was using and just restoring /data . However, this doesnt work properly as some apps are broken.
Nonetheless, has this happened to anyone else? Did you fix it? How can I fix?
Did you wipe System, Data, Cache & Dalvik before restoring ?
If not then try that.
I reflashed TWRP using fastboot method and restores work fine now. Previously, I was flashing TWRP using .img method from the recovery.
