I made a nandroid backup of the stock rom I was using. I backed up everything, data, system, etc. I installed a new rom and then rebooted and installed a kernel. The device got stuck on the boot logo. So I factory wiped and tried to restore my backup. No luck. So I did a full wipe and the tried to restore. Still no luck. Stuck at logo. Then I tried to install the rom again, and that worked (no kernel this time)
Why didn't my nandroid restore? What did I do wrong?

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.

My I337 is stuck on the samsung logo. I was running PAC-Man ROM, and attempted to go back to AOKP using Nandroid restore, and now it won't boot up.
I wiped Data/Cache/D. Cache/System, then tried to flash AOKP, but this did not work. When I attempt to restore using nandroid it says "Restoring Data..." then it stops and says "Restore Complete Failed".
Is there any method to get back to stock using TWRP, I have a Stock Nandroid backup, but it won't restore.

If you can't get back into TWRP through normal process, sounds like you will have to go into download mode and Odin it using a stock ROM.

Did you make sure to 'factory reset' in TWRP before flashing or restoring?
You could try putting another ROM on your microSD card, boot to TWRP, factory reset, flash the new ROM, wipe dalvik/cache and reboot.
You remembered to flash lokidoki when required?
I was about to ODIN to get back to stock, but I wiped /data and /system on TWRP then REBOOTED (I didn't to that last time and the restore failed because it couldn't access /data). Then I restored to stock using nandroid successfully.
I will try to flash AOKP and see if it works..
Thanks
yeah thats the ticket.
For future reference, in twrp you can dl a rom into your pc and mount your sd card while in your phone in twrp and push the file to it. It has saved my butt a cpl of times after trying to do a restore that I had moved to the external sd card.
Hope this helps for future issues.

I tried restoring a nandroid backup on my phone and have been having trouble ever since. Upon restoring my nandroid backup, I restarted my phone but I couldn't get past the Samsung Splash Screen. So I started troubleshooting:
1) I restarted my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), and wiped Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. I then tried restoring my nandroid backup again. However, upon rebooting the device, I still couldn't get past the splash screen.
2) I installed Heimdall for Mac (like Odin) and flashed the latest TWRP recovery.img (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx.tar). I tried to restore the nandroid again, but I still couldn't get past the splash screen.
3) I tried doing a fresh install of cm10.2 stable and still nothing.
Please, any help or direction would be awesome
My Nexsus 4 was at 5.0.1 updated OTA, I rooted and installed recovery and created a nandriod backup on the internal SD card. The phone was working fine for the most part except it was having issues with the screen going black when making a call and would not come out of that state. I wanted to revert back prior backup so I did a nandriod restore with CWM v6.0.4.7 and now my phone is in a bootloop. I've tried wipe data/factory reset, also tried wipe cache partition, but still stuck in bootloop. I'm not sure what else I can do to get out of this bootloop state/ Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Fixed it by using Nexus Root Tool Kit to flash stock image. Not sure what happened but I'm switching to TWRP. First time using CWM and things didn't work out well for me using it.
I recently made a backup of my stock rom using TWRP, I then flashed cyanogenmod 12.1 and due some random reboots I wanted to restore my stock rom.. I went into TWRP, did a wipe on everything but the external sd card then restored the backup of the samsung rom boot, data, system. When it booted it said it was upgrading all the android apps then starting apps then all the apps it tried to start crashed and was left with a blank screen. Is there something you have to do, to be able to restore a stock rom after flashing cyanogen?
No, that should have worked, but I have seen that crash black screen after clearing caches in TWRP, I pulled the battery, booted again and it was fine

Wierd, yeah I tried a couple of reboots and it always crashes once it starts apps after a restore.
Try flashing a stock ROM with ODIN to get the phone back to 100% stock
Then root and flash TWRP again and see if you can restore the backup then, if not, try restoring the backup without restoring DATA which is where the apps are
If that works, you could use Titanium Backup to restore the DATA partition iirc, see if you can get around it that way
