Bootloop and Nandroid Backup

Hey guys, so I'm in a bootloop and can't boot into my phone. I had a Nandroid backup on my Nexus 4 but I recently deleted it because I was running out of storage, so I moved it to my PC. So my question is, is there a way to use that Nandroid backup on my PC to restore my phone?

Yes. You boot in recovery, and use "adb push" to push the nandroid backup to your storage. Are you using TWRP or CWM?

Then you have to push your backup to this location:
mnt/shell/emulated/clockwordmod/backup

[Q] Delete backup.

Hello.
I did backup through the TWRP recovery and I want to delete it but I couldn't find a way to do it.
How can I delete the backup?

CWM puts them in /storage/emulated and I would imagine TWRP does the same thing so they don't get wiped out on a factory reset.

It's been awhile for TWRP... Is it on the SDCARD\TWRP\Backups?

Can i restore backup from another phone?

I've got 2 sets of note 3, and both rooted and flashed with custom rom. I did a backup on one of them for the stock firmware before i flashed the custom rom. Question is, can i use the backup for the stock rom and restore it on the other note 3? Will there be any issues?
Thanks!

Restore just the System partition and the Boot partition. It should work.
Out of curiosity, why not use odin?

Will that unroot the phone and get it back to stock firmware (the backup is stock firmware)
what i was trying to do is to get the phone back to stock as much as possible.
When you said odin, you mean download a stock firmware and use odin to flash it?

Yes, it will restore everything to stock, exactly like the backup.
But, you should use odin. It will restore everything to stock.

Thanks! but can you tell me more? If i have that backup, what advantage does odin has over downloading a stock firmware?

Well, for one, odin will restore EVERYTHING to stock. Including the recovery.
Second, the recovery will probably reject the backup if it checks for MD5, you might have to disable it before restoring.
Third, it is more convenient.

if you want to restore the data it should be no problem. i already test it on all of my phone.

I sadly had to go through that on my old note 2 (super slow connection in my country), well what i found out that to skip md5 check in TWRP, i had to backup my EFS (just to let twrp create its folders and settle up) then i moved the backup from another phone to the folder twrp just created, Restored system and /data with no problems

When the recovery check for MD5, open MD5 file on notepad, clear everything and save it. The recovery will not reject it. Trust me :laugh:

What version of PhilZ Recovery do I need ?

Hello,
I have a Galaxy s4 i9505 jfltexx. I'm under CWM recovery but I'd rather prefer to have PhilZ Recovery.
I saw that jflexx versions have been stopped and that they recommended to use jflte version... for this OK. But are there some versions that I musn't flash ? Or do I need the last version available ?
Thanks for your help

TWRP is the recommended recovery for us, once you get used to it, it is actually better...

Philz is based on cwm. Since cwm hasn't been updated for a while, neither has Philz.
I also recommend TWRP as many ROMs recommend TWRP.

Ok except that I had a problem with CWM this morning : the Nandroid backups doesn't save the "preload". It was impossible for me to restore it (bootloop). As I understood recently, only PhilZ Recovery has an option to include the preload in the Nandroid backup.
Last but not least, where can I get TWRP on its last version for my phone ? Can you send me a link ?

Here.
TWRP also has a preload backup option if I remember correctly.
Why would you backup preload? As far as I know the partition is empty, for me at least.

Here is a TWRP recovery from autor's website for GT-I9505 (JFLTEXX): https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/

Because, even if it's not a galaxy S2, I had exactly this problem yesterday with my Nandroid backup : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/bootloop-nandroid-restore-t2337856
Thanks KonowaL !

Well, maybe it's a CWM problem.
I never backed up the preload partition, yet I have successfully restored my nandroid backups in the past.

I just flashed TWRP as you advised. It seems really great (not as the old version I tested by the past)... but there is no preload partition backup option. Or I don't see it. Where do you see it ?
I flashed the 3.0.0 version.

Hmm..
I think only JDCTeam's TWRP has that option. I know their 2.8.7.2 TWRP had several backup options, including efs and others.
Also note that TWRP backups don't work with CWM backups, so you will have to redo them.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, I never backed up preload (unless TWRP does that on its own) and restored those backups successfully, and without bootlooping.
You might wanna try it yourself in order to believe it.

OK thanks a lot for your help
