I've just attempted to do a Nandroid backup through TWRP but during the System backup my phone rebooted itself and now it's stuck on the Samsung logo. Is there any way to save it or am I going to have to wipe it and start over?
Charge phone, take out battery boot into recovery dirty flash rom

Do I need to do a full factory reset if I bootloop before trying to do CWM restore. I have been unsuccessful in making the restore stick. I have bootlooped a couple of times and the CWM restore would not successfully boot, it too kept bootlooping. SO I was wondering what the HECK am I doing wrong . I need to understand this before diving into the phone too much. Also having problems getting adb to install from the android sdk, but that is probably just not enough time spent looking at proper install instructions. That's what I get when I only have about 30 minutes a day to actually plug into the laptop and work on these things.
I found what I was looking for. Needed to be on working rom then restore works. Got it.
Never mind... You got it.

Or so I thought. Do I need to wipe personal data? Basically do the factory restore/reset? If yes then is that done through CWM or through settings menu? In my head I think doing it through CWM is the more appropriate place, then Get to working ROM then do a restore? Final question for this post, do I need to reflash the mods on their own or is that part of the restore.
I have not needed to officially complete a restore as I do not have much that is not already on sd card that I need to keep. But it is important to know how to do a restore in the event it is needed. It does get annoying when I bootloop and can't restore to my previously working settings, especially if it was a setup that I was particularly fond of.
How about this for steps?:
Wipe data
Flash EG04 Deo.zip
Wipe Dalvik
Reboot
Recovery mode
CWM Restore
Reboot
Okay, in trying to follow you on this. If you made a backup with CWM recovery when your phone was working, you should be able to flash it at any time. So let's say for some reason your phone starts bootlooping, you should:
Boot into recovery
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik cashe
Flash your backup
IF your backup had any mods you WILL need to flash them after you flash the backup. If you don't the phone probably will bootloop..
Cross fingers
Reboot phone
Your back up should have been made with a working rom, so you shouldn't need to flash one before you flash the backup.
Someone else please jump in if I missed something!!

And here is even more fun. I was booting up into recovery every time for awhile because it didn't like something I flashed. So I erased all my data and had to reflash eg04 deo twice before it took. Right now rebuilding the phone. Everything seems to be working correctly now. I didn't even try the restore because it didn't work.
Back to the using restore issue. What I'm hearing is that I can flash restore at anytime, and maybe have to flash the mods (is 1-3 TB101 everything mod) if it doesn't boot properly. I use EG04 deo topped with TB 101 mod and ciscogee's i400 SuperSU zip.

That would be correct. I use TB's mods also, and anytime I restore a backup I have to flash the mod too. Not sure why, because the backup "should" have the mod in it also, but that's the way it is.

Today I successfully comlpeted my first restore. I flashed the restore and immediately went and flashed the TB mod and it worked. Very cool, and thanks a lot for the help.

Hi everybody. My phone is rooted and last night, I've try to install the google edition rom and after, I've got a bootloop. Before install the rom, I made a nandroid backup so I was be able to restore. But the problem is when I reboot my phone, he get stuck at boot logo so I have to wipe data and do a factory reset before do another restore. He made that all the time when I reboot.
What I can do for that

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 was not able to backup the rom. can't access recovery. just plain LG Logo
Go to download mode (remove battery press volume down while pressing this button connect your phone to PC, then your phone will be in emergency mode then flash stock Rom using KDZ Updater).

this is my other thread.
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.
