Dear all,
I was on Quarx CM10 build 20121118, then just tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2080556 and managed to kill my phone. I think what happened was that the data partition was full and an empty services.jar was written back. But whatever I thought I am a lucky guy because I did a full backup in custom recovery just the night before.
So I went into custom recovery, did a factory reset, wiped all I could and selected restore system and data.
But all I get is "Error while restoring /system" And "error while restoring android secure".
I spent the whole day searching the forum, found something about formatting system/data to ext3, tried that with no change.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Would be even greater if you could explain the steps understandable for an idiot like me.
Thanks in advance,
Matthias

You can't restore nandroid of CM10/9, i dont know why, but i also can't restore cyanogenmod nandroid backups, stock roms backups are restoring fine, but cm - still no luck. PS: your system is ext3, because we have locked boot. Data and other partitions restoring fine except cm backups.

That's the point formatting system & data to ext3, but make sure don't wip data & cache after rom installed without reboot , since you're still under CM10's bootmenu.
Hope this helps .

Sorry, no. I do not understand what you mean. Could you please describe the steps?
I used TWRP to wipe all my partitions under advanced wipe.
I Odin'ed the stock kernel, stock rom and TWRP.
I used TWRP to mount the efs partition, and adb pushed my backed up efs.zip into that partition.
I checked using the TWRP file manager that the files and folders are all in the efs partition.
But after a reboot into TWRP, the efs partition would become empty again, as if I never transfered the files.
And off course, my phone is now stuck at the notorious Samsung logo boot loop.
So why did the files delete themselves after every boot? And is there any way to solve my boot-looping issues?
My current partition size:
Boot (10mb)
System (2135mb)
Data (0mb)
Cache (62mb)
Recover (10mb)
EFS (4mb) it is empty, but still has 4mb?
First question is what firmware were you on before all this? Second question is why did you do all this?
If you were not on mf3 firmware get the stock firmware from sammobile.com and flash that in Odin, PDA. Do not check re-root partition. Hopefully that get your phone to work again.
Wooo hooo it works
Ahh I fixed it! Sorry for the troubles.
I'm glad you got it fixed. But don't mess all that stuff you did.

Yea, curiousity definitely killed the cat. This may be my last of my 9 lives.
Would do sufficient research before attempting theses kind of tasks again.
Thank you. I fixed the problem following several other threads in this forum. Vast amount of knowledge here, just a bit too scattered.
i took my mobile yesterday, now i got my data partition corrupted, help me please, please make a time.
What shall we do? Wipe it and do a fresh install or access your nandroid backup if you have one.
Hi i tried to restore my Dirty unicorns backup and now i am stuck at the google screen. I booted to twrp and tried to erase the efs but it didn't work, still stuck at google screen. Also if I recollect i did not backup and restore the efs partition so i don't know what else it could be i did backup the vendor and the rest. Using twrp 3.1.0.0
Solved, flashed the vendor the the phone booted up. can somebody please write what you can backup up in twrp so i know to not bootloop again, thank you.

To backup your current setup:
Boot
System
Data
Vendor
Is enough
Just in case: https://twrp.me/faq/whattobackup.html
If you switch to another ROM, wipe the above + dalvik/ART cache, data and cache partitions.
Then flash whatever you want with matching vendor. Redo the complete wipe above and restore your backup if you want to switch back. Backup your EFS at least once and keep it in a safe place...
Hopefully you won't end up bootlooping anymore! :good:
I have never succussfully restored a nandroid backup on this phone with any version of TWRP. I don't even try anymore because it's just a waste of disc space and time.

Does backing up my phone using TWRP without the data partition fix the phone if it somehow got the OS removed?

Depends what got wiped or messed up. If it was just the System partition, then yes you can backup and restore System which should solve your problem.
It certainly helped me when I was trying to install the KangVIP rom. I couldn't initially get it to boot, so I restored previously backed up stock Boot and System partitions and all was fine.
