Hi there
I flashed a stock nordic XXUFNB9 ROM via Odin. Worked fine.
I then rooted the device with Unified Android Toolkit
I have TWRP and root, and i can make a nandroid backup in recovery, but if i wipe or restore my backup or install a custom ROM, TWRP restarts, and the phone
wont boot. I have to start all over.
Is this common, and does anybody know how to fix it ?
Thanx !

Next step is to try a wipe and custom rom...... Hope it works !

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.

Hello,
Ii have rooted my S4 device with the procedure from XDA (root original rom with keeping update availability). This was done succesfully. After that TWRP was flashed without problems. Than i decided to installl Omega 9 custom rom. The installation went fine and i could use it for three days. A great rom but after a restart my device will not boot anymore and shows only the Samsung logo. Wiping is possible but trying to restore a backup failed....... Do i have to apply root again? Any help is appreciated to solve my problem! Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
Mark

Install Philz Touch recovery in downloadmode, this will help you http://d-h.st/wSF.
I reflashed Philz Touch with ODIN successfully but the recovery mode did not came up. How is this possible? Back to TWRP now with same problems......
If you already have the omega 9 rom in your phone...try to reflash it via recovery .....don't have to wipe data....but do it to be safe....I think it should work...I really hope it works...sorry about your phone

Well the only other option is to download a ROM that can be flashed via Odin.....hopefully your download mode works.....i think you can find several compatible ROMs in the forums.....try that out....as a last resort

Well, download mode works fine, TWRP works fine, flashing ROM works fine, ROM itselfs works great, until i have to reboot. After booting it hangs in the boatloader and i have to flash rom again.........................to get access.

Well do you merely flash the ROM? try wiping cache afterwards and setting permission....if that doesn't work try to reflash stock firmware....thats your best bet

This will help some other people too.
I got a problem. I am on Omega V25 all is working fine. Tried to flash later Versions. First the Modem NC9 needed more than one flash.
Any later versions of Omega boots.
But the prozess phone stopps every time.
Now i flashed original Firmware and after it V32. Same problem again.
Is there any way to flash without full wipe?
Edit: Tried new modem
tried Philz and twrp recovery
Rule number one:
Always fully wipe if you got problems after flashing updates/new versions.
You know what to do. Wipe!

Hi guys.
I installed TWRP and rootet my phone with magisk and everything worked fine. I then tried a couple of custom kernels before I restored my TWRP backup. Now I can not turn WiFi on. Can someone please help me.
Is there any way to restore it safely and correctly, maby some file I can download that fixes the problem? I really don't want to flash original firmware allover again..

May it is enough if you flash the boot.img of the rom from which you made the twrp backup. I guess you have the rom file on your sdcard, unzip and flash the boot.img with twrp. Or dirty flash the rom if you're to lazy for a clean install.
I was on stock android 8.0.. So I guess that won't work.

Why this shouldn't work ?? You can flash boot,system,recovery and vendor.img of the unzip factory image with twrp, except bootloader and radio of course, but that's not necessary anyway.

LOL, fastboot flash stock boot, system, vendor.
Btw, if you're flashing to test some custom kernels you should have always the original boot.img from the
rom you're using on your sdcard. First flash the boot.img before you flash the next custom kernel, and don't flash a custom kernel over the next custom kernel.
Do you guys mean my backed up boot? Or should I download this files from somewhere?
If you backuped the original with TWRP, you can use it.
Otherwise download your rom, unzip and look for the file.
To solve your WiFi issue u have to dirty or clean flash anyway with TWRP,fastboot or flashfire. Whatever you prefer.
Okay. Yes i backed up the original. I will try it now
It worked when I only recovered system, boot and data

Install TWRP 3.1.1-0 and then restore your backup - worked for me! On 3.2 are errors while flashing or restore a backup - hope it will be fixed soon.

Yes, you dont need to reflash you phone - flash twrp 3.1.1-0 via image install in twrp and reboot recover, then you're on 3.1.1-0

You're right, TWRP 3.20 was buggy, downgrade went well, backup, restore everything is working fine now.
Thx again
