[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stueee:
Hi,.

I had a s3 and used cm10.1 and it was great, i updated to a s4 and wanted to use the same. I asked on here what to do to get a back up of the new phone so i can restore in case of warranty. I was told nandroid .....

I performed the backup and have the backupfiles. The phone has to go back due to a fault but need to restore, i tried booting in recovery mode and running the restore, it starts checking md5 then says error boot image! and wont continue, ive tried wiping all the caches etc but still the same problem.

Can anyone assist me with this as i want to take it back asap as im now phoneless.

here is the log file from backup.
