[Q] restore backup twrp - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I made a backup of my stock rom on my fido i747 before installing cm11. I made the backup using twrp but now that I installed cm11 twrp was removed and I'm now running clockwork mod. What's the easiest way to go about restoring my twrp backup? I'm guessing I just need to reinstall twrp and restore my previous backup...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The way twrp and cwm create the back up files are different so either u need to re-install twrp or make another back up using cwm...... hope this help

Google i337 twrp zip xda and flash that in cwm. It'll replace cwm with twrp.

Alright so I tried installing TWRP via goo manager. I downloaded the app and installed the openrecoveryscript. It shows that it's installed, yet whenever I tried and reboot into recovery it still boots into clockwork... I have gone as far as trying to delete Rom Manager app from my phone and I tried installing the openrecoveryscript again. Any suggestions on how I should go about fixing this. I`m currently running 11.0-installerXNPQ02R.

Help!!

hello, I had a version of cm10 installed on rom slot 1 of safestrap, and then I unlocked my boot loader, and installed TWRP recovery, I tried restoring the backup of cm10 I had made on Safestrap, and now I'm in a bootloop and I can't access TWRP recovery. I would really appreciate some help.
EDIT: Never Mind I found a way to go into recovery and was able to restore the backup of my stock rom.

My backups are not working....

Ok so first off I was successful in rooting the phone, installing twrp rec., flashing loki files, and then flashing wicked rom with ktweaker tw kernel. I made a backup of the stock rooted rom before wicked was flashed. Then my troubles started when I wanted to go back to my stock backup. The rom booted but has serious issues like black screen with only status bar working and then eventually freezing. I also made a backup of a working wicked and tried restoring that but then I just get stuck in boot loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what twrp version
did you wipe all before restoring
you could try to install Phils cwm recovery, folks say it works great and will restore twrp backups also

Follow full wipe procedures, have the same recovery you made the backup with, and try again.

I flashed the stock firm. Soft brick averted. Did the same goo manager recovery method, but now i'm thinking of flashing that cwm as ppl have reported the same nandroid backup issues with twrp. My version is 2.5.0.2. I will keep trying to get twrp for a while with others users till i get sick of it (semi twrp fan). Any further advice would be cool. Oh and I did a factory twrp wipe the first time this problem occurred.
I wipe data caches and system before flashing. No more advice. Had newest TWRP hang on Team Win screen. Several manual reboots into recovery till it worked. Maybe I better do restore to see if it works.

My phone won't boot after installing a ROM

I was having issues with my phone not getting a GPS fix. So, I figured I'd try a few different ROMs. I was on this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2771110, and everything worked great except the GPS. I then did a TWRP backup and installed Cyanogen 11. It booted fine into it, but I still couldn't get a GPS lock. So, I thought, maybe it's a kitkat issue with my phone. So, I tried installing this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595586, after doing a full wipe except for internal storage. It sat at "formatting", as the OP says it may, but it finally finished. Then, it wouldn't boot. It just sat at the LG logo screen. I went back into TWRP and tried a few wipes (cache, dalvik, and data), but it still wouldn't boot. So, I decided to restore my TWRP backup of Lam Hoang 7.1, and now it is still stuck at the LG logo, and won't boot.
Any help would be appreciated!
Try a different recovery. I'd start with Philz recovery. After flashing Philz recovery I'd reflash the most recent ROM listed in your second link. In my experience twrp has given me quite the trouble. Good luck.

Yes you can but you cannot restore a philz backup with twrp

How? When I go into restore backup in Philz and select my backup, it just shows me a bunch of files (some with a .md5 extension).
I got it back up. Flashed Philz and installed a rom. Then, I restored one of my backups, and it booted fine.

Awesome. Twrp just seems buggy from time to time.

Still have no GPS though. I wish I knew why, because it used to work fine.

I have discovered that I need it too because my phone is loked and, to enter my carrier unlock code, i need to restore my backup made with CWM.
Looking for the same.
Yesterday i have installed 2ndInit to get back CWM recovery and restore my original stock ROM image.
Android can not complete the full boot, showing the intro of my carrier during a hour while loading Android.
Reinstalled TWRP and recovered my CM11 backup.
I will try again and, if not suceded, i will flash my carrier SBF to unlock my phone.
I will inform any news about CWM restore stock ROM.

I think this happens because the roms use different file systems
Try the Aroma Wiper to change the file system:

I'll try this, but now i'm without time, then i report if it work.
I got my phone working.

[Q] TWRP with Lollipop

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone is having this issue.
Flashed Lollipop with NRT on Nexus 4.
When using ROM Manager, trying to backup current ROM.
Boots to TWRP, but it cannot find the 'sd-ext' partition.
Proceeds to do a backup but the file is corrupt.
Also tried to backup right from TWRP, same issue.
Using latest version of TWRP.
I also reset to factory and cleared cache .... same issue.
Thanks,
Malcolm
Hmmmm, I'd reflash TWRP and stop using Rom manager.

Using TWRP Manager, I installed 2.8.2.0.
Same problem even if I boot into TWRP and try to do backup from there.
Any other app to replace ROM Manager suggestions?
