[SOLVED] Hello,
This is the first time for me posting in a forum asking for help about an android device so go easy. I have rooted my Nexus 4 running Android 4.3 and installed TWRP 2.6.0.0 on it. That was the first time I rooted an android. I used Titanium Backup (Pro) to backup all of my user apps + system data. Then I transferred the backup to my PC. Then I created a nandroid backup using TWRP. Then I cleared the cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset the phone using TWRP. Then I installed Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 mako, which is marked as stable, along with the Gapps found on Goo.im. It worked successfully and I set up my brand new ROM. Then when I restore using TiBU, it restores successfully until it gets to about 70% where it begins telling me that "There was a problem parsing the package" or "x App not Installed". TiBu then instructed me to reboot in order for system data to take effect after the restore, and I follow that order. Finally, my phone gets stuck in the boot animation of Cyanogenmod. I've gone in to recovery and did the entire process of flashing the CM ROM again and the same thing happened to me again. So I just restored my nandroid backup and now am on the stock ROM again. I've tried to look online but could not find any solution or reason. Remember that this was my first rooted Android device and I am not a pro at this stuff. I'm not asking for how to get out of the boot animation (I already know that), just why this problem is occuring and some possible solutions. Thank you.
I think the reason might be that you are not supposed to restore apps when changing from one ROM to another. I read that somewhere online. Is that true and do you think that that could possibly be the case? I went from stock ROM to CM.
[SOLVED] i have found the solution. it was that i tried to restore system data which caused the problem. everything is great now!
accidentally wiped all the data off my phone, now whenever i on my phone, it is always at the TWRP recovery. Is there any way i can go back to the original?
More info: i was using RGUI ROM
after i downloaded a new update for android and clicked install now, my phone went to the TWRP page, from then i tried to restore the previous backup but i still ended up at the TWRP page. Which lead to me accidentally wipe off all the data fro my phone
Please help!
hello forums,
today I installed an android update onto my sony xperia x compact which resulted in my phone ending up in a boot loop.
I see the sony logo, then the Xperia slogan and then it reeboots again.
The companian app does not recognize my phone.
What can I do to backup data on my phone?
Should I flash the boot loader to use backup / restore functions?
My phone is also encrypted. will backup / ADB even allow me to get the data stored on my phone?
Thanks
Did you unlock your bootloader, I think if you have unlocked bootloader, you can't update straight away from the phone? Mine stuck on "Sony" screen once, and then it restart itself and boot into the system. The update failed,but I can boot back to the system. Maybe you should try starting the device again and if it stuck in "Sony" wait it for a while
Ps: better do a backup before system update.
I am sorry I didnt mention that before.
until now, the phone is using stock bootloader and stock rom
can't I replace the boot loader with a custom one to use adb to backup my data?
that worked with my old flashed phone, because rom and OS are separated from each other.

Unlocking BL won't help you to backup data. On contrary it will wipe your data. If it is really bootloop, what you probbaly can do is flashing the same firmware (before the failed update) without selecting to wipe data
PS: Regarding the unlocking of bootloader, Don't do it unless you know what you are doing. It will wipe the TA needed for the camera. Please please do research on how to backup TA before you ever unlock your bootoader.
sadly I cannot reflash the same rom as all is stock software, one mistake I will not make again.
Sony support sais I have to do a factory reset and there is no way to save my data beforehand in the current state. also, it seems they just dont care about customer data as they do not make a backup of the data or the OS before screweing it up.
if you know how I could reflash the firmware, please tell me. I don't know how
So I guess I am screwed?
Hey,
i have TWRP installed and had the samsung galaxy s8 port running for about 1 year without problems. Since a couple of days it doesnt boot into the ROM anymore. So i went into TWRP and tried a restore of a backup. The backup process just freezes somewhere and i have to restart the phone. I also tried clean flashing a couple of ROMs but every installation is crashing.
TWRP has never crashed before so i'm guessing Hardware is broken?
Or is it possible that it ****ed up my partition table? it always crashes when trying to install or restore system partition. Also repairing the file system fails with error 4.
Any help is welcome, thx!
flash newest twrp again, partition, full wipe and install rom. of that doesnt help thsn flash stock with odin and go all the way to custom
Hey,
I didn't updated my phone for quite some time and today I had some free time and I decided to update it to the latest version. I performed the first OTA update, and the process wen't really smooth. The phone booted after a few minutes, however it told me there's another system updated so I installed it as well.
However, after installing the second OTA update, my phone never booted again. it stucks in bootloop for a few minutes and then just boots to recovery.
I don't really know what to do, and although most of my data is backed up I really want to avoid wiping all the data.
The phone was never rooted and has stock recovery. How can I make it boot without wiping all the data? I did try to wipe cache already and it didn't help.
I see that there is a method called 'adb sideload' but I want to be sure it doesn't wipe data and to know which zip I should give it... Thanks!
