[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Morningstar:
Well, it looks like a decent Recovery, but unfortunately I ran into a serious problem, which I'm still trying to recover from (an hour and a half in). Here's what happened....

I flashed Cannibal, no problems there, booted into it and was just kind of poking around. Then I figured I'd go ahead and do a quick backup/restore, just to see how well it worked. In hindsight, I'm almost positive there wasn't enough open space on my internal storage to back up my Data partition (which is approaching 5gb), so I'm thinking that may have been the cause of things. That's just a guess though.

Anyway, it seemed to be backing up just fine. I watched it go all the way from 0% to 100% on System, and from 0% to 18% on Data, at which point I set the phone next to me and went to work on something on my computer. Around 30 seconds later I noticed the screen flash out of the corner of my eye, so I looked at it and it was back to the main Cannibal screen, even though it should've taken 8-10 more minutes, assuming the percentage rate shown is accurate. I didn't see any sort of errors or warnings or anything, so I figured what the hell, and started to restore the backup I had just made.

System seemed to restore just fine, but as soon as it started restoring Data, the phone reboot itself back into Recovery. Trying to restore the backup again had the same results, so next I tried just booting normally. It looked like it was booting alright for a minute, my boot animation played, and the LED was doing it's thing (gotta love Shinto kernel), but that's as far as it went. It just kept replaying the boot animation, never actually booting into Android (and the LED stopped doing it's thing). Let it sit like that for 15 minutes, then gave up.

Next thing I did, was Odin'ed TWRP back on, figuring I'd just restore one of my TWRP backups (I have 2 recent ones that I've restored more than once, so I know they're good). It flashed fine, booted up into Recovery, did a factory reset, since it was now saying I had 0mb free on my internal storage, and did a restore. Things looked alright, watched my boot animation play through then on to the 'Android is updating' screen, which went through all my apps, only to flash that SystemUI force closed for a fraction of a second, then went back into my boot animation, did the updating thing again (showing 13 fewer total apps this time), rinse and repeat. As I said, I'm positive the backup is good, as I've restored from it 4 or 5 times.

So...back to Recovery (TWRP now), and everything I try to do fails; install a clean ROM, fix permissions, wipe, you name it. Finally, after dicking around with various things in TWRP, trying to restore partial backups, manually copying system files, etcetera, I was able to get a ROM to install. Now I'm just in the long, arduous process of putting the ROM I was using back, and restoring things item by item to make sure nothing else funky is going on.

I'm not new to this, by any means, so I know it wasn't due to something stupid I might have done. The only thing I can figure that might've caused it is trying to do a backup without having enough free space on my internal storage, which, ok, is kind of stupid of me, but I would've expected an error or a failure or something, rather than the almost 2 hour debacle I've now been through. lol

Anyhoo, sorry for the novel. I figure'd it would be best just to describe everything thoroughly, in the hopes that someone might read it and figure out what caused it, so others don't have to go through the same thing.
