I backed up with CWM and flashed to stock android 4.3 then restored back to my backup. Ever since my touchwiz keyboard has forgotten everything it "learned" and will not learn anything anymore. It's been a few weeks. I thought CWM wound restore everything but it seems something is broken.
What could cause this?

I rooted my Vibrant a week or so ago.
I flashed an update.zip and installed Clockwork Recovery Mod.
I immediately took a nandroid update of the stock, rooted system.
I tried out the AOSPish 1.4 Eclair rom (stock kernel) from the Development section, which works quite well.
My problem is that I cannot restore the nandroid backup I took before flashing teh AOSPish rom. I did a data/cache wipe in Clockwork, restored the nandroid backup, and it hangs at the Vibrant boot logo.
I can restore the AOSPish nandroid backup just fine.
I'm pretty sure it wont work...you have to Odin stock JI6 then restore your JI6 nandroid

Fair enough. I'm happy with the AOSPish rom anyway, just wanted to see if it could even be done.
Since we can fastboot into CWM and make a back up, are we able to restore that backup with CWM with no issue. Has anyone acutally done this successfully and not had any major problems?
I just made a backup with CWM and would like to be able to restore it just in case I screw some thing while I am messing with the sytem.
I've been able to Backup/Restore with no problems. It works just the same as it does on any other model.
Yep i backed up and restored without issues.

Thanks guys, I know before with some other devices I was able to flash and backup up but beucase CWM wasn't completely ported for that device the actual restoring process was corrupted, so I didnt not want to find out the hard way. Good to know I can screw up and restore back to normal.
hey guys I update to 4.2 as soon as my nexus 7 arrived.
now I downgraded to cm10,ie, 4.1.2
everything was okay, but when I restored my backups with titanium, I gt boot loop
is it ok to restore from different versions?
any ideas what app can caused this?
Just backed up user apps
sorry this is my first nexus and I am a noob in Android
I received a warranty replacement seven. when I booted it, it updated to 4.2. after, i made a nandroid backup of my old n7(4.1.2) and restored it on my new n7. no problems going from 4.2 to 4.1.2 here.
I downgraded to 4.1.2 successfully, it booted and everything worked.
The problem begun when I restored my titanium backup, that's the question
Hello All,
I had a TPT with rooted ThinkPadTablet_A400_03_007_132_WE.
Yesterday I installed CWM from here and made a backup of the ICS using the standard dup format.
Then went on to install CM10.
All worked fine and CM10 seems great.
However, I forgot to do a TitaniumBackup of the apps in ICS.
So I went back to CWM to restore the backup ICS.
Here comes the problem.
At restoration, CWM breaks saying it cannot restore system data.
I then cleared cache/data/dalvik and tried again to restore ICS. No luck.
So I´m stuck with CM10 now. Does anyone have an idea how I could recover my ICS installation.
If not, I want to recover it to backup the app I bought through the Lenovo store, which I can no longer reinstall in CM10. Any ideas how I could achieve that?
Thanks a lot,
Bruno
I was on Google edition using faux kernal. I decided to restore my stock rooted nandroid using twrp and I believe something went wrong. My phone rebooted on its own after the restore and everything went wrong from there. Force closes galore. I checked the kernal and it was still faux kernal so I figured that was the problem. I decided to wipe and restore one more time. This time it went smooth and I had the option to reboot when it was complete. Everything is running perfect but the weird thing is that the kernal appears to be stock now...
I'm very confused. Some Google searches led me to believe that a nandroid does not save your kernal but my kernal clearly changed on my second restore.
Does a nandroid restore kernal? What is the stock kernal for the i337 and is it around this site because I can't find it anywhere?
My kernal version reads...
3.4.0-453947

Can someone confirm this is stock?

Yep, that's the stock kernel.
I'm not sure about TWRP. I know there are different options to save different partitions when creating a Nandroid with TWRP.
But there is something else I've been noticing through various posts about the S4. It seems that sometimes, with CWM, TWRP, or even ODIN, that some people have to flash files twice before they take. I'm not sure why it would be that way or if it's just a bunch of people screwing up on the first flash, but it sure seems that way. Maybe this is just one of those phones that depending on which lot you get, needs to be flashed twice?
yeah, Scott may be right. I don't think these recoveries are quite up to speed yet for the S4. Esp TWRP. I just like and have been use to TWRP UI.
Heard good things about Phil's Touch CWM--haven't tried yet. But, haven't restored yet either. Shabby's seems solid too. But, Phil's will restore both TWRP and CWM nandroids.
If you nandroided boot partition then the kernel should be restored
Only thing not touched in nandroids is radio
simply restoring the boot image from a nandroid will restore the kernel to what was backed up. I ALWAYS have a nandroid of a full factory ROM on my SD card in case I get problems. technically you don't even need to clear cache / dalvik cache.
note that some kernels actually flash more than the kernel and update Bluetooth and/or WiFi drivers, and would require more than the boot image to be restored.
keeping a fully stock ROM nandroid should be flashing 101... I've gotten into situations where I've had md5 mid matches when restoring backups, lost imei, all kinds of fun stuff. almost always doing a full factory reset/cache wipe/dalvik wipe/system format before restoring stock will fix those type of problems. after that I've had good luck then restoring the "problem" backup. very rarely have I ever had to Odin back to stock.
I installed a custom rom(GPE 5.0)on my i337m from Android 4.4.2 Stock ROM. I made a Nandroid backup with twrp 2830 before flashing the new rom. After playing with it a while I decided to go back to 4.4.2 using the Nandroid backup.
The Nandroid restore was successful(did a factory wipe before restore). However now I am getting force close non stop(seems like every app after the boot animation). I did a second restore without factory wipe and same problem. How can I get my backup restored properly?
If I install a custom rom(tried Goldfinger v9 among others), they boot fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Sounds like your nandroid is corrupted.

I tried again, this time I did advanced wipe and selected the usual system, cache, dalvik etc...and also format internal sd. When I restored the nandroid backup it finally worked properly. Pretty sure the backup is not corrupted.
