[Verizon] [rom]jbsourcery v5.4-lte[06/07/13] jb4.2.2 The Final Call

Can anyone help. Nandroids don't work. Flashing a 4.1.2 ROM doesn't either. Any ideas?



Bump!

Additional info: I am currently on CWM 6.0.1.5. My old backups are in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup and they are also in /data/media/0/clockworkmod/backup. I have tried to wipe my phone and reflash JBSOURCERY V3.2 and the phone wouldn't boot. So I had to reflash the new JBSOURCERY preview and the use the newest nandroid I had made. One question I have is do I need to move the whole clockworkmod folder to the new location and merge the new data with the old? If so can I use root explorer to do it or do I need to use adb? Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

You can't select your nandroid?

They don't show up. I know when you upgrade to 4.2, the file structure changes for the different users. When I moved just the old backup to the right spot I could see it but when trying to restore I got an error and the restore wouldn't complete. The phone then wouldn't go past the Google logo, until I restored the 4.2 nandroid.

no worries about moving folders and stuff around right?

No worries, but i wouldn't use anything but root explorer to move them. I generally use File Manager as my...well.. file manger but had all kinds of issues with things not getting transfered with these 4.2 roms. Haven't had a single issue when using Root Explorer.

Copy the entire folder and let it merge

So after the long process of merging on my phone (3hrs +). I tried to restore my backups from /data/media/0, and it stated the directory was not found. Not sure where clockworkmod looks for the backups.


It looks in data/media. If its not already there, create "clockworkmod" then "backup" inside it and put your backups in there. Then cwm will see em.

Dirty flash Rom and gapps and see of it fixes that issue

So I tried the dirty flash, and that didn't fix it.

To fill in possible gaps in what I did; I moved my CWM's to the data/media/... I then restored one of my nandroids which took me from 4.2 to 4.1.2. After that I downloaded the latest 4.2 from JB and wiped x 3 and flashed both the new 4.2 and new gapps. The MD5 was gtg. I re-downloaded all my apps from the market manually.
