Backed up ROM, tried to go to different ROM and now my restore doesn't work? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hello. So I was on AllianceROM build 25 on 4.3 until today. I decided to go try out the 4.4.4 LiquidSmooth ROM, so I flashed the ND7 modem and the rom. Things were alright, but after I installed GApps, I got force closes over and over to where it was unusable. So I booted back into recovery and now TWRP fails every time at "restoring system" from my backup .
I believe I backed up my working ROM with TWRP 2.5.0.1, I flashed LS ROM with CWM to see if it would help with force closing. It didn't so I reflashed TWRP 2.5.0.1 as recovery and tried restoring it from there, and haven't had any luck.
Anyone have any pointers? Suggestions? Have you had a similar situation?

Not sure if the recovery version has anything to do with it but twrp 2.5.0.1 is old. Current version is 2.7.2.1.

Only reason I'm on a deprecated version is because, in the past, I've made a backup and tried restoring it on a newer version of TWRP and it failed and failed for days, then I reverted to the version I did the backup on and it worked. The issue here could be that I don't know specifically that 2.5.0.1 was the TWRP i was using before... I could try an updated one though. Is it ok to just flash a newer version of TWRP through TWRP itself?

Yes, you can flash twrp with twrp. As about the rest, like I said I was just making a guess. It could just also be that the backup was bad. I have had that happen once or twice.

Flashing it with the newest TWRP fixed everything.. We're good.
Thank you!

[Q] CWM problems

I'm new to this forum and find the i717 a wee bit more complicated than my old phone. (a Galaxy S 4g.)
I've managed to get CWM touch 5.5.0.4 on the phone and have successfully flashed the deodexed stock jelly bean rom. However when I try to flash any of the "quincy.att" based rom, CWM gives me an error, which I imagine means that I need a more recent CWM. Before I flashed stock jelly bean, I was able to get the 6.0.3.6 quincy.att CWM on the phone using the terminal but when I tried using it, it did not see the external sdcard and I could not get there to flash any rom. I tried using ODIN to flash CWM 5.8.4.3 but ODIN just sat there and nothing got loaded onto the phone at all.
So it is kind of a chicken and egg situation here. What is the minimum version of CWM I need to flash any of the quincy.att roms and how do I get it on there and working? Or am I supposed to use TWRP? I haven't tried that. I remember it from the 4g and it was a pain to use on that phone. I have tried to flash the 10.1 quincy.att plain Cyanogen and the chameleon rom and I just get error messages from CWM,
Just use twrp.....your probably getting error 7 ...install twrp

TWRP is piece of cake here. you will never look back
I'm having issues getting cwm 6.0.4.4 to work.... 6.0.4.3 touch or regular work just fine, but the few times I've tried flashing 6.0.4.4 in order to flash the latest Kit Kat I get stuck in a bootloop. The only way to fix it is to remove my battery, flash twrp with Odin, wipe everything, flash cwm (earlier than 6.0.4.4) and reflash a ROM. I've tried: updating through ROM manager, flashing 6.0.4.4 in recovery, converting a zip to a tar (thinking maybe the file was corrupted). I'm beginning to think my phone just doesn't like Kit Kat.... Now I'm back on Padawan because it's like literally the most stable ROM for my phone. Any ideas?

If 6.0.4.3 touch works "fine", why don't you just use that?

cwm 6.0.4.4 is recommended for the Unofficial AOKP 4.4.2 flash and I couldn't get it to install with 6.0.4.3. It installs with 6.0.4.4 but ends up in a bootloop.

Try CM11 for KitKat. It's very stable.

I actually did try CM11 Kit Kat and liked it but about ten minutes after everything boots up it will force close and go into a boot loop. I've tried the various gapps packages, installing without gapps then flashing them, wiping dalvic before and after and in between, I dunno.
4.3 ROMs run like a diesel, it just seems I can't get 4.4s to be stable. I just now flashed the Beanstalk 4.4.2 along with the updated gapps and can't get past the beanstalk animation. Sat there for an hour.
I appreciate the input though.

I had the same issues with 4.4 kitkat roms. Did you format system in CWM when wiping? This solved my bootloop issues. Also, make sure you have a clean download of the ROM. Flash the ROM twice back to back when flashing a new kitkat rom

[Q] Problem flashing certain things using TWRP

I was just on the MJ9 firmware had no problem flashing other roms using TWRP. I read that TWRP was having issues flashing ND7 and seen that using Philz was the best thing to use, so I downloaded Philz and saved it, uploaded it to my external SD card along with the other required files for ND7. Rebooted to the recovery formatted the internal storage,dalvik and cache. First thing I did was try to install Philz. I instantly got failed and this message "assert failed: getprop (ro.product.device") I thought it had something to do with the Kitkat update. But, then I read on the forum that one user was having trouble installing Philz also and the user installed the ND7 first then Philz and it installed. So, I decided to try that. The update installed just fine but Philz still gave me the same error. I decided to try to install the radio that gave me the same error. I already had Liquid smooth 4.4 downloaded on my SD card and that wouldn't flash either but the gapps installed. I have installed the newest version of TWRP still no luck. I can't even use Airdroid to transfer to either SD card or internal storage (Later found out its an app problem). What else can I do to get the ball rolling?

Seems like you still have the wrong TWRP for your device.
Here is a Philz Zip with the getprop asserts removed, so it should flash just fine in your current TWRP.

You can follow this guide to Odin back to stock MDK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301259. Should fix your issue. Once you're there, flash TWRP. Once you've flashed TWRP, flash the ROM that you want. I'm running danvdh's GPE lollipop ROM and TWRP 2.8.4.0 with no issues. The latest version is 2.8.5.0, but I can't get that version to boot for some reason.
I'll try that! Thanks! (sorry for late reply)
just flashed stock and got twrp back, tried to flash my RLS 19 backup and it completes at 3gb out of 1.2gb and 170% out of 100%. ugh :/ also twrp won't install via goo manager, have to use twrp manager .

Also I'm running danvdh's lollipop GPE as well. It's actually the reason i updated twrp and started to get this issue. i'm running the same version of twrp as you and still no hyperdrive backup can restore. ):

Cannot update to oxygen os 2.2.1

What have you already modded in the original installation? If your system was stock the update wouldn't fail. Please be more specific so people can help you. If you've kingrooted or flashed twrp, the update will fail...
I don't know about the OP, but I had the same issue when I tried to OTA to OOS 2.2.1. I applied all my hacks through TWRP but always booting TWRP by ADB and never flashing TWRP to the phone. So, I have unlocked bootloader, Developer settings, stock recovery, Boeffla, CameraHAL. With this, OOS 2.2.1 OTA gave me "installation failed". Shouldn't it have worked since I was still in stock recovery?
Thinking it could be the kernel I then tried to restore the original kernel by going to a TWRP backup I made immediately before flashing Boeffla, and restoring boot.img. To my surprise, I then lost all Wi-Fi functionality.
In the end, I downloaded the full OOS 2.2.1 ROM from OnePlus and dirty-flashed it, stacking it before the newest versions of Boeffla and CameraHAL. Phone is working OK, no bugs noticed so far.
I still haven't flashed TWRP nor rooted the phone. In my configuration, what's stopping OTA from working? It would be nice to have OOS3 OTA, since I still don't trust the backups I'm making.

If you modify even a single bit in stock rom and revert back, updates are definitely going to fail.
The only solution to receive OTAs is flashing stock recovery with stock rom with locked bootloader.
Or you can manually flash OTAs using TWRP.
I made several backups of my stock rom before testing mods, but when I restored and tried to perform OTAs, it always failed while installing.

You just need to wipe cache from the stock recovery in order to install the ota updates , customer care babe told me

If no then please tell me how to revert back to locked bootloader.

I have tried wipe cache method and doesn't works at all if you have rooted your phone and unrooted back.
And the OTA should work even with unlocked bootloader, if you have not rooted your phone before.
If you want to lock your bootloader again, just follow these steps,
1. Goto Settings -> Developer options
2. OEM unlocking -> turn it off

Installing any new cynogenmod/mokee ROM always fails

Hi, I am trying to install cynogenmod or mokee rom and the device always gets stuck at cyno/mokee logo. it never goes beyond that. tried to wait for half an hour(waited for one hour twice).
Here is what I am doing:
I used TWRP but it wasnt working so i installed CWM, in both the recoveries I was wiping everything except sd card storage as my zip files were in the card. after that i flashed zip files(ROM & GAPPS). after that i rebooted to system. Am I doing it wrong? I am currently on 4.4.4 stock rom. Need help.
Thank you.
No one to help?

The problem wasn't with the recovery and I wasn't doing anything wrong. It was really too bad to know that the rom version I was installing had a bootloop bug in it. So I had tried two previous versions but they too had the same bug. And unfortunately I tried CONTINUOUSLY for two long days to install those same bugged ROMS as if God has put me in frustration mode. Tech fooled me right, lol.
Grab the November 8 version of Cyanogemod. There are issues with the newer updates.
