I updated the latest version on twrp this morning and when I went to craigslist it said app not foundand could not connect to server. I restored the app through titanium backup and then it was ok. Then I went to facebook and it is saying no connection but my wifi is on. Is there a fix for this or should I just restore a backup.
That's odd, your recovery won't affect phone functions though. What did you do before and after flashing twrp?
I was already running 2.2 and and just updated because I was bored. After that just opened up craigslist then that happened. I didn't do anything else.
I take that back I was messing with titanium backup I must have done something.
Maybe do a clean wipe and fresh install

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.
The update notice came through on my phone yesterday afternoon. From reading on here I knew that a number of people were having problems with it. Like a meth addicted crackwhore I couldn't say no.
Before saying yes, I did make a backup.
Here's what I had on my phone beforehand:
Modified swype overlay
Modified battery icon
OCLF 2.1+
GPS fix update
I'd renamed the startup video so it wouldn't show
I'd replaced the startup sound with my own
I think that's all.
I did a nandroid backup before applying the update and even made a copy of the backup just in case.
I undid the lagfix but - perhaps stupidly - left all the other updates in place.
After applying the update my phone was stuck at the vibrant screen right after boot. No amount of waiting - 30 minutes the first time - did any good.
I've been through several rounds of flashing using the second round of steps in this thread but the best that happens is when the phone boots I see the stock home and the media,calendar,(+a few others I can't recall) FC continuously and the home shows a bunch of missing widget boxes.
If I do a nandroid restore I strangely end up with the hung vibrant screen again. It's like it's automatically applying the update or something other odd like that.
I can repartition and flash stock or the updated rom and things are working fine but I'd really rather not lose my data.
It occurred to me this morning that I might have done the backup before removing the lag fix. I'm guessing the backup won't recreate the ext2 partition and that's why things are FC'ing like mad?
I'm going to - probably pointlessly - try to re-flash, install the lag fix and do a restore to see if anything different happens.
If anyone else has a suggestion while I wait for my phone to charge enough to do the lag fix .... little tiny voice... <help?>
Well, re-installing oclf 2.1 didnt change the behavior. I've still got a brick after restoring my nandroid backup.
I've gone back to a clean ji6 install and I'm trying a titanium restore. I'll be a week out of date if this works but won't lose anything critical. If this works. I hope, I hope, I hope.
That happen to me too, had to odin back to stock then flash bionix 1.7. lost all my data
How about flashing JI6, applying OCLF, booting into clockwork recovery and selecting Nandroid-> Advanced-> (Your restore file)-> Data-> Yes.
This will reflash all your data on top of the new rom. The reason for reapplying the OCLF is because you backed up BEFORE undoing OCLF, so all your data is still in a .EXT2 file, so we have to have it expecting that before restoring.
Only thing left to do at this point is redo any themes you had installed, and your phone should be back to normal + the update.
I must have backed up after removing OCLF because I ended up flashing stock and restoring just the data. Unfortunately while the data was there, none of my apps were so the fact that the data was there was moot since I couldn't get at a lot of it.
I followed up by flashing just system and now I've got my full functionality back just without ji6.
I'll probably try again after rolling back a few more changes -such as removing the rom manager update.zip - and making another backup or three.
I wonder if the people who've rooted - like me - are having problems because of updated versions of busybox that clockworkmod installs.
Also, the titanium restore worked on stock. I haven't tried it on ji6. yet.
After all the forced learning by doing where flashing roms is concerned I decided to skip the tmo update since they can't be bothered to provide a full list of fixes. I've installed the latest bionix and couldn't be happier.

I've found that a Titanium backup is enough to use when flashing a new rom. Do a full backup. Flash the new rom. Restore apps+data. Selectively restore the green system items (so you get all your sms msgs and contacts). Enjoy. Worked for me on Sunday as I flashed various versions of bionix to try.
I decided to try out one of the ICS ROMs today, so I did a nandroid to take a snapshot of my normal ROM setup. Normal procedure, right?
Cut to a few hours later when I try to restore my phone to its normal state using CWM. nandroid verifies the MD5 and successfully restores my phone to its pre-ICS state, but when I boot up, all my apps are gone. I get the grey Android package icon with "SD" superimposed on it for almost all my apps (including Market). When I try to launch one, an error pops up telling me the app is not installed. This persisted even when I wiped everything and re-restored from my backup. The strange thing is I have no removable SD card installed, so the apps couldn't have been moved as far as I know.
So, does anyone know what's going on here? Is this just a faulty backup or should I just cut my losses and start fresh?
Do a FULL WIPE. And try again. Report back
Done. I did a factory reset, wiped cache, and system. Didn't work—should I go the Odin route next?

Install official Samsung stock firmware then root and CWM recovery your nandroid .

Try Appextractor from market. It allows you to extract apps (and more) from a nandroid backup.

Thanks for the suggestions, everybody. I managed to get things working again by Odin-ing back to stock and reflashing CWM recovery 4.0.1.4. Worked like a charm, apps included.
originally had a good flash of jellyblur, ran fine, never an issue. Decided i wanted to try AOSP 4.0.4 ICS. Flashed it, and it didnt run like i wanted it to. So I decided i wanted to go back to the backup i took using the latest TWRP of jellyblur, but when i go into the "restore" menu in TWRP no backup files show up. I have them copied to my PC and ive tried wiping and adding them again with no luck. Is there some simple step im missing? Ive restored backups with other recovery's but never with TWRP. maybe im just being an idiot, but please help? is there any way to restore a backup using ADB?
I tried removing some bloatware, nothing as major as the Coolboy script but some of the Samsung and Sprint crap. I made a backup before hand. Afterwards things were acting a little wonky so I figured I'll just restore my back up but it failed in TWRP. I'm rooted on stock 4.3, any suggestions?
It might be the version of twrp you are using had this issue with a build on the s4, i would try to download a older version and flash it and see if it will restore it. Might not you might be stuck then you'll have to backup with titanium then reflash your rom and restore with titanium. In future my advice would be to also backup everything thru titanium then remove what you want and if need be you can restore the apps you removed thru titanium.
Not long ago I started a thread about how good this phone was and how I have never had a problem...….ironically....I just broke it
I hadn't installed a new rom in over a year, so I updated TWRP to the latest, took a full backup, and installed the firehound rom, after the install the phone booted to a pure black screen, like screen off black, so went back to recovery, wiped it and restored my backup, only now when it starts I get a screen of text in another language have no idea, but there is a button I have no choice but to press, when I do, it reboots to recovery and does something and I noticed it wiped data, then booted again back to the same screen of foreign writing....the first line says encriptacao sem exito.
in recovery it says something about krypt keeper I think it was
anyone have any ideas?
What version of twrp ?? Maybe your backup has become corrupted and you will have to do a clean installation, even having to format the internal memory. Once I backed up a rom along with the pin code and after installing a rom and did not like it, to return the backup my device simply did not unlock even though entering the password correctly.
Thanks for the reply, I fixed it this morning. I know about not making backups with passwords and stuff set so always take them off before a backup, not sure what TWRP version but it is the latest as of yesterday. and the backup was taken with and restored in the same version right before flashing. I think somehow my internal storage had been encrypted, as you said, I had to wipe everything internal and formatted data, then installed new rom and all is good now, luckily thanks to the google overlords, nothing of any importance was lost as it is all backed up to them, only thing is it takes a little longer to get all my apps back after losing my titanium backup flashable user apps zip. but oh well haha.
