Is it possible to restore S4 image to S4 Active ? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've got a galaxy s4 19505 and created a backupimage with teamwin.
Is it possible to restore this image on a galaxy s4 ACTIVE ? ..
Reason for asking is because my s4 is dead, and I want to restore my backup to a S4 Active (work phone)
thanks!

If you made a nandroid backup with TWRP, as long as you do a selective restore and replace only system and data, you should be ok. But before you go doing that, take a nandroid backup of your S4 Active so you can restore that if something goes wrong.

[Q] noob questiom

Hello guys,
I am new here and I have a questiom .. right now im using 4.3 firmware on my i9500 .. before i flashed it i made a backup of my 4.2.2 firmware through CWM to my sd card .. I wonder will i be able to restore it? Or this is the same case as downgrading and it may harm my phone?
Note: my phone is rooted and i installed the cwm but i am scared to hit restore on cwm
You woun't damage your phone.
Your phone will be restored to the exactly same state as it was at backup time.
Another question is how to restore your backup correctly
Google for clockwokmode, cwm, NANDroid backup

EFS Question

I restored a back up today using TWRP recovery and I had EFS checked although I should have had it unchecked because there's nothing wrong with my EFS. Everything works but my question is this;
Does the information in that folder ever change on its own? I would assume that it's read only and it doesn't change
Samsung Galaxy SIV
Graviton Rom
AusDim Kernel

[Q] Nandroid Error backup and restore

Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M)
Android:5.0.1
Rooted
cwm custom recovery touch version.
When I do a Nandroid backup it seems to do successfully but I see errors in the log file.
And when I restore using the same backup after it finishes restore process, all the services stop working (example: google.app ....)
I attach screenshots and log file for backup process.
Please explain why this is happening and how to fix it.
Thanks
Sam

As lennyz & Reaper suggested I switched to twrp, both backup and restore are working smoothly.
Thanks for help.
CWM isn't updated anymore. So you should either swith to TWRP or Philz (thought Philz isn't updated anymore either but it still works).
Maybe that could fix it. Also make sure you have plenty of space left when you make a nandroid. Something like 5gb when you are on TW rom.
Use PhilZ, as it is based on CMW, so it should work with your backups. If you don't care about the backups anymore then go with TWRP. Haven't had any problems with TWRP so far.

Note 4 bootloop

Hello everyone! So today I've rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, and well went fine. After that I did a backup with Titanium Backup Pro, and put this ROM on the internal storage of the phone. I went into TWRP and did a factory reset (sintead of a data wipe as the topic said I should) and then flashed the ROM. Now I am stuck in a bootloop.
What and how can I do something to fix this? I must mention I'm kind of a noob into all of these root stuff, so please take me easy.
Which version of Note 4 do you have? N910F, N910C, ...?
The ROM that you've intalled is for N910F.
Did you flashed the right modem and bootloader aswell?
