I have a consistent problem with Philz recovery since MJA & MK2 were installed, it won't restore my data partition. I would like to go back to TWRP 6.3.0.1 which worked flawlessly prior to MJA and the Knox changes. I have tried restoring System & Boot partitions with Philz then flash TWRP and restore the data partition but I get bootloops when I restart.
My question is has anyone been successful in using TWRP to flash, backup & Recover the S4 with MJA/MK2 installed?
I installed it with GooManager. Seems to work fine. I have the latest 4.3 MK2 installed. Now if I can just have my wifi back.....

All depends on the ROM you're using and how you're setting up you backup partitions.
There are plenty of walkthroughs on how to use Philz or the lates TWRP in the specific ROM threads.
I have read dozens of threads, hundreds of posts and haven't seen anyone having success restoring from TWRP a TW ROM.

Latest (2.6.3 - Reverepats zip) should work. It's really kind of weird some devices it works flawlessly others not so much.
I'm such a back freak I use Philz AND the latest TWRP to make nands of my ROMs just in case.

You can't now. We always advise the people for read before do something. You can read in the guide:
"- Users are recommended to back-up all data before rooting the device."
*EDIT: You will have to wipe all (data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache) and flash new stock firmware :highfive:

At first I forgot to tell you that my s4 is encrypted and i used the default encrypted from android.
In the past few days i doing some things could serve me in my case and I need help from everyone
1. i change the recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.1 using odin and i try to mount the storage but i do not find my data is't the data is removed ? but when the s4 boot before black screen he ask me my password for encryption and he knows is't wrong or not, Is this indicates my data is not removed ?
2.i try to find my data over using adb shell but i can not find anything.
My question is: Is my files still exist or not.
Can't you just try to wipe from the TWRP recovery.
1. Boot into the recovery. Then select Wipe. Then "Swipe to factory reset". This won't wipe your internal storage.
2. Flash a custom rom.
3. Boot.
You probably need an external sd card to put the rom on.
My guess is that it should work.

You need to be more specific. What data? You mean phonenumbers, text and apps? Those are lost.
Data on your internal storage like pictures, video and music are not going to be wiped.
Sorry to say, but you don't have any option execpt flashing firmware.
If you want to try other tricks etc so please be careful, your phone can be brick with single wrong step.

In last 3 days I flashed 4 different 4.4.2 firmwares on i9505 with ODIN. But I was surprised to see that after successful flashing I find everything same in sattings (Wallpaper, KK Launcher etc...) then I checked *ABOUT PHONE* to make sure that phone is flashed or not. But I was flashed, after that I went to recovery mode and factory reset to wipe everything. All I want to say that is it possible that after flashing my all settings remain same on newly flashed firmware...?

yes my data is internal storage like pictures, video and music
if i wipe to factory he will not remove my data ?
I have replaced the framework files in the system... rebooted the phone and got many errors... can't even view anything in the phone.
Do I solve the problem by installing the bootloader and Modems XXUFNC9 by odin3?
Do I lose my files by installing this?
If this worked, would I be able to do a backup using recovery mode?
Thanks in advance
you can use your phone again after flashing stock firmware and wiping data & cache
you will lose any data
I dont recommend that you do a backup in this status because you missed the phone up
always do Nandroid backup when the phone is clean !
if you have a previous backup you can restore it

so there's no way to restore my files?!
go to recovery then do a custom backup and choose data & cache (dont select any other option) and hit start backup
then after flashing & wiping flash a custom recovery and go to custom restore and choose data & cache
and hit start restore
your phone should work with previous apps
make sure to backup in SD CARD !

Just to confirm.. this is the sequence u mean?,, please correct me if am wrong
1. back up

yes like that but do a (custom backup)
not a normal or full backup !

follow my steps
go to recovery
go to backup and restore > custom backup to /storage/sdcard1
then select everything instead of the SYSTEM then start backup
after that wipe data & cache
then flash stock firmware via Odin
then wipe data & cache
then flash a custom recovery
then go backup and restore > restore from /storgae/sdcard1 and select the folde qnd hit start
everything should be ok

You upgrade your device to 5.0, so kitkat4.4 cwm backup didn't work 4 u bcuz ur baseband version changed with lollipop upgrade & cwm recovery is unable to backup baseband/modem.
U have to downgrade ur firmware to kitkat4.4 & then cwm backup will work.
how do i do that is it enough to just re-flash via odin will it reset to the correct modem and stuff?

Yes,after flashing correct stock firmware ( full Odin package like xxx.tar.md5) with Odin ur device become brand new: official.
U have to root it again & again install cwm recovery.

do you know if there is a backup app that backs up all like baseband and such so i can downgrade with simple backups?
Hi, in order to restore your Android kitkat backup you need to downgrade from lollipop. In order to do that you have to flash a stock ROM (from sammobile). If your device is not locked for your service provider then it shouldn't really matter which region's ROM you flash. Then flash cwm recovery to restore your backup. If after flashing the stock ROM you enter a boot loop (and maybe not allowing you to enter download mode to flash cwm) try entering recovery mode (Power + Home + Volume Up) and factory reset your phone through the stock recovery. This should restart your phone without causing a loop. After that just flash cwm back and restore your stock backup.
Hope this helps and let me know if you need anything else.
