Just do a factory reset, it should restore the missing stuff from the image file. Of course it will also erase all your data as well.

Did that now I am stuck in a blue white globe.. Wont move past that. I rebooted the phone 3 times..
still stuck
now it keeps stopping on this..
note 3 unfortunately setup wizaed has stopped
I am rooted on at&T
The root is most likely what is killing the factory restore. Unfortunate I don't think you can unroot and to do so even you would have to have the phone running.

So I was previously on rooted stock ROM, with Faux Kernel when I read this thread that said reflashing stock image may improve battery.
Anyways, before doing anything, I backed up all my apps, data, etc. using Titanium backup. After the whole process, I tried to restore everything. Then I got stuck in a bootloop. I do not have a nandroid backup (I tried, yet failed to transfer it to my computer )
How can I restore the most of my backup without getting stuck in bootloop?
Only restore apps and their data, NOT system apps or system data (like text messages, call logs, settings etc). If you do this you shouldn't have any problems
Why didn't you make a nandroid!? Oh well, learning experience.

I am fairly incompetent with Android and adb in general being a previous iPhone 4 and 3G user. Last time I unlocked my bootloader I tried to backup through adb and did the same exact thing and failed to transfer it my computer. Hoping this doesn't happen next time I try something fancy lol :cyclops:
Like an idiot, I mistakenly reset my phone and now I am using Titanium Backup Pro to restore all of my apps and system data. It's on 34% restoring wssyncmlnps and it's been like this for over an hour now. What can I do to fix this? Can I just redo the restore process and uncheck wssyncmlnps? What is wssyncmlnps and is it important? My phone is rooted if that makes any difference.

I've had that problem before where it kinda froze but said it was running, I just powered off the phone and selected what I wanted to restore.. These phones are touchy about restoring though, TB doesn't play nice all the time.

So, I'm redoing the restore and I unchecked wssyncmlnps. It's now on 77% complete and stuck on com.sec.ims. I have no clue what that is. Can I uncheck that too?

I would do a couple things, uncheck it and see if finishes and then Google what the two are just to be aware, and then try to restore them by themselves... You might have to install your rom again though from scratch and not use TB.

You really shouldn't be restoring system data.. It will only corrupt your current system. Titanium is definitely likely to hang when attempting to restire those unnecessary chunks of system files. Stick to ONLY user data.
The best and safest system files to restore would probably be your texts, call logs, wallpaper, and WiFi networks but anything else should be left alone.
Only use Titanium to restore your apps. If you need to restore text messages, I suggest using MyBackup.
Ever since I rooted my phone it has been slowly getting glitchy and my battery life keeps dropping. I've been putting off the update because I'm not really knowledgeable about android in general and the tutorials seem kind of complicated. I just want to restore my phone to stock settings so my phone wont freeze at random times and I wont have messages pop up anymore. What the easiest way to go about deleting my twrp recovery so I can go back to stock? I don't really want to just update to a custom rom because I just want to restore my phone. Also I'd be great if there was a way to keep all my data in the process.
You would have to flash either the stock *.kdz or *.tot file to restore the phone to it's original condition, which in turn wipes everything on the phone including internal storage.

Is there any way to backup the data on my phone and restore it once I've flashed one of those files?

There's no way of doing that. Restoring your phone to stock wipes everything.

"Restore" to what level? Are you thinking factory reset and return to stock?

yeah like a factory reset

Galaxy S3?
If you want to return to factory settings the best way is to do it via recovery. You can do this regardless of whether you have the stock recovery or have flashed CWM/TWRP. Just be aware that factory reset in the stock recovery will erase your internal SD card so you need to backup anything on it you want to keep. I would also remove any external SD card you have installed to just to be safe.
If you have CWM/TWRP then a factory reset shouldn't erase your internal or external card. But in both cases you will lose any user data you have on the phone. So things like text messages and installed applications will be lost. I would suggest a backup with the likes of Titanium Backup or, even better, do a Nandroid backup if you have CWM/TWRP installed. You can then use an application like Nandroid Manager to restore any aspect of the backup you see fit afterwards.
And this really should have been posted in Q&A.
Do i clean install with odin. A clean install is always the best.
Btw you're in the wrong thread my friend
Yeah i realized i was in the wrong section after i posted it sorry, okay when you say recovery what do you mean? cant i just restore it through samsung kies ? and about the titanium backup....whats wrong with backing it up with samsung kies also? and i am not planning on rooting the device after i restore it so titanium backup wont work ?

- If you do factory reset, the root still remains and you can restore apps using Titanium.
- If you restore all partitions, you will lost root and Titanium will not work anymore.
Ok, so i want to get rid of the root, i want to restore completely and update my device without having root at all, but i also want to be able to restore my old messages mail accounts ETC? what do i have to do to accomplish this...

Sorry my mistake. Make a backup with Kies.
Okay thank you , then after that i need to reset binary counter and then restore with odin yes ?
Not sure about resetting binary counter, you can try if flashing via Odin is not success.
Download the stock firmware for your device and flash via Odin.
Hi guys, im in a very deep trouble since yesterday, i was testing trying to flash Renovate Rom on my S8 Plus SM-955F, unbranded exynos version, Ive test before almost 5 o 6 roms without any trouble, but suddenly I got a bootloop, so i decide to restore the backup I made before i was start to flashing any rom, along tow days ago. The backup apparently restores well, but it last only about 15 or 20 seconds, I rebooted and doesnt get pass from galaxy s8 logo at startup; so Ive restarted again , got to thw twrp and tried to flash again another rom, BatStock in this case, phones starts without a problema, but now network doesnt work, and Ive lost my IMEI , baseband, and i guess all EFS folder.
Apparently the backup on the sd is corrupt , and I tought when i tried to restore the backup, It get all erased and messed up.
Does anybody have some idea to solve the problem, Ive tried to restore the efs backup from the backup alone, apparently it restores, but i continue without imei.
Please someone help me, Im getting crazy aboyt that, ive buy the phone trough and Internet page, so I dont have warranty in my country Argentina.
Thanks in advance.
Any idea?
Please Help me folks
Try this way via Smart Switch
Hi, search in S7 edge forum, you have a guide to recover the IMEI. Are you using an external SD for nand backup?

If you are sure that your backup was properly created, you can omit the md5 check.
There's an option in the TWRP settings.

From the screenshot it looks like you are trying to restore the cache.
Can you try without it, and restore /efs ?

Restore the backup and then wipe the cache?
Always whenevr we restore, we should wipe cache/dalvik cache then reboot.
Or try smart switch after putting phone into download mode and it does it's job well.
Some files have gone corrupt but majority Looks fine. Wipe cache n reboot n let us know

I've tested wiping cache / dalvik previously and right now. Same result
Guys, do you know If it's possible to extract the efs partition or efs folder from the twrp backup, it's maybe posible?
And how I can check if the backup is allright or if it's damaged.?
Extract twrp backup via 7zip
