In the past 6 months I have never succeeded to do a cwm restore. I must be doing something wrong. These are my steps. I'm on semaphore 1.2.6s with Elite 1.4.1 ICS rom.
1. Make a cwm backup and restart
2. Go to cwm and full 3 wipe
3. Restore cwm backup I have just made
Restore complete, but restart always get stuck in bootanimation (waiting 20+ minutes).
What am I doing wrong?
Same for me. On Team Nyx RC5.
Bootanimation goes on forever after restore.
It has something to do with restoring 'data', because if I choose to restore without data, the system will boot correctly but unfortunately without my data .
Edit: Forgot to mention that I always wipe caches.
Btw you can unblock your rom in this state by wiping data but then of course it does not make sense to make a nandroid.
Edit 2: The issue must be related either to some app that was installed or to a specific system setting.
Shortly after having made a clean install, with only little apps installed and only some system settings changed, I made a nandroid backup and restored it successfully afterwards. Then several weeks later, I made another backup just before trying JB and when I wanted to restore my ics, I got the endless boot again. I did flash the Sem 126 kernel via CWM and also via Odin before trying to restore.
What logfile would contain boot logging?
