I was trying to update my A90s to a new OS (though couldn't succeed ). But now the problem is that i am unable to restore it via backup restore. It start restoring the device but at the end it gives the following error
Error: Write Error
Error: Invalid header magic
i dont want anything else just i want to restore my contacts that were on phone!!!
i think there might be a problem with "userdata.backup" file. but as far as i remember backup was successful
Backup was made via Android System Recover <3e> in CWMR

Before anything: CM11 20140531 nightly build, backed up as a 1970***.zip
Operations to the backup file: open with nandroid, clicked "decompress", restore app+data using nandroid in another rom(read only i thought?), fix md5 using nandroid(after md5 mismatch error while restroing)
Now that: It prompts "Error while restoring /" in cwm. I tried flash back to CM, tried format/wipe, but it all doesn't work.
also tried directly recover from fastboot.
but "remote: data too large"
and i can't find anything interesting in recovery.log
it is 600kb+ ...
You never ever restore system files over anything, unless you're doing a complete "normal" nandroid restore.
And not with titanium backup either.
If nothing works now, you'll probably have to flash stock back on, after complete wipes and reroot after. Start fresh.
I installed TWRP 2.8.6.2 from the link in the first post of the Lollipop thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/photon-q-4g-lte/development/cyanogenmod-12-1-photon-q-t3073781 ). I assume this is the latest/correct version for PQ?
I want to backup data so I can reformat data as f2fs and be able to use latest kernel.
I've tried backing up just data, or all four selections, with and without compression. Everything I've tried fails with error 255.
The log shows /data/data/com.skype.radier failed. So I deleted skype cache, data, then uninstalled. Retried backup again and still fail. Tried to manually delete folder, it won't delete nor will any of the subfolders (error 39 from es explorer). Tried to delete using TWRP's file manager, still won't delete (ERROR=1)/
a piece of TWRP log where it shows the errors.

Well just great. I wanted to backup but instead deleted everything. After posting I kept searching and trying ways to be able to delete that. Finally came to something that suggested using fcsk to check/repair the filesystem. Said to boot to recovery, adb shell, unmount and then run it. That didnt work cuz there was no unmount command in adb shell that I could find. Then I found in the TWRP menu there was a repair filesystem command, thought that was great! Ran it. And it wiped my data folder completely.
Not very happy right now.
I had the same problem as you when trying to convert to F2FS, and lost many hours of work as well! In my case the backup actually worked when using compression, so I thought all was good even though I never could get it to restore. I was able to get some of the data back by untarring the backup files themselves though, so you could maybe even look at the unsuccessful backup files if you had something important to recover.
In post 161 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/pho...anogenmod-12-1-photon-q-t3073781/post64064173 a developer has compiled TWRP 2.8.7.0 for the Photon Q and it appears backup works. I never have tried it myself though as I hadn't seen the post in time. I just ended up using titanium backup.
Well I'm in an even worse situation now. I tried restoring from the failed backup and now my phone crashes and reboots a minute or two after booting. So I figured I better reinstall gapps. However, I can't get into recovery anymore. Just sits forever of the TeamWin screen. Reloaded recovery thru adb fastboot and it still does the same thing. So I can't even get into recovery to try flashing gapps again or if it came to it wipe data and start clean. I'm phoneless.
RSD Lite back to stock...
Hi, I'm restoring from a nandroid backup but once it starts restoring data it fails with error 255. I have no 999 files, and ran the steps here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/255-error-twrp-backup-restore-999-t3801632 to remove 999 folders (it didn't work but I looked in those folders and saw no 999 folders) and have NEVER used Paralell Apps.
Is the backup salvageable?

Can you still boot into your OS?

No, because I was on the P beta, but wiped everything including system. I tested a restore with everything else except data and it worked, just data failes, and recovery.log says "==> extracting: //data/reserve-lib/com.oneplus.soundrecorder/ (mode 40755, directory)
tar_extract_file(): failed to extract //data/reserve-lib/com.oneplus.soundrecorder/ !!!" so I'm assuming that's the issue, but I don't think there's any way to edit nandroid backup files like a filesystem, is there?
Edit: So I made the data backup into a .tar file and I can see the offending folder, but can't delete it from within WinRar, but I can make it a folder and delete it. Once I have that, how do I make it back into a .win000 file?

I think you may be able to just rename .tar to .win000, try it and see.

Yea I editited it saying I did that, but can't figure out how to make it back into .win000. I guess I will just transfer it onto the phone, backup that and then restore (as just transfering will probably mess something up)
i'm having hte same problem , i never used parallel apps and i'm getting the same error on a restore for no freaking reason!
I need to restore so badly, i can get into OS just fine now but i didn't backup my apps prior to doing the wipe after the backup.. any ideas please?

Did you get this working? I'm not very good with TWRP yet so I don't know all the lingo, but I too made a backup and receive the error 255 when trying to restore using TWRP. When I restored the backup and unchecked data like you mentioned, it finishes without error but get this error "Your device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and may not work properly" when I try to boot it. Restoring the backup without the data box checked still doesn't restore everything obviously. I'd like to restore the data too. Did you get it all working to where you can restore all?

So I edited the backup and removed the offending files and then put the file back into the backup but that didn't work because I guess it broke the signature or something but it wouldn't restore data at all once I edited it. Idk.
I just don't bother with backups anymore, too much of a hassle haha, and it makes no sense why it fails, since I have no parallel apps or anything
Thanks very much for the response and info! No backup at all? Bummer. I've tried to backup several times using twrp and keep asking around. In the root directions it's said how to backup and restore. Surely it's been done in this os since instructions are there.
The second time I tried, I was able to backup and restore all partitions "successfully" using the newest bluespark twrp version from a couple days ago... But I get this boot issue saying the device can't be trusted and doesn't boot.
I have a rooted A515F with Magisk and TWRP installed. I want try to experiment with my first custom ROM and had a rude wake up call regarding access to my backup files and apps. I had assumed that using Titanium Backup would ensure that if anything went wrong I could restore. However, that was not the case as I couldn't even access the app once the new ROM loaded.
I have tried to do a full backup and it keeps failing with the same error code 255. I attached 2 screenshots from TWRP showing this. I would like to experiment with my phone but cannot without risking losing all my configurations, apps, and app data each time.
2 questions:
1. Is a full TWRP backup the most reliable way to get my phone back with all the config settings, apps,, and app data loaded or are there other alternatives?
2 Does anyone know how to solve the TWRP tarfork error 255? I have searched for this error and and tried several solutions unsuccessfully. I have a copy of the twrp backup log file if needed.
I am still stuck with the aforementioned 2 problems and have received no responses. I would like to move foward but cannot do anything until I can created a full nandroid backup. Any suggestions? would be helpful...
If you delete all 999 folders in your twrp backup files, then you can install it without Tarfork() error.
I can't find any other way.
begonia, MIUI 11.0.6.0, TWP 3.3.1
I am currently locked out of my device, soft brick - bootloop. I would love to backup my phone's data before proceeding with further fix attempts. However, during data backup, got this error:
Code:
I:Error adding file '/data/misc_ce/10' to '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/mfaajbdu5s79pfhy/2021-07-28--04-07-40_PPR1180610011/data.ext4.win007'
Error creating backup.
I:ERROR tarList for thread ID 0
From what I've found, it's some random directory for another user, potentially coming from the MIUI "multiple session' type of funcionality. But I have 0 clue if I can safely delete it, skip it somehow or do another workaround. Or maybe there's anothe way to backup more reliably?
I can't use TWRP 3.5.2 also BTW because that fails at decryption.
I tried `pm list users` to potentially `pm remove-user 10` through adb but that apparently doesn't work in recovery. Can I use it in any other way without booting to system?
Found a fix or a at least a wokaround quicker than I thought I would: https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/1373#issuecomment-568148330 Hopefully no problems with restoring this backup in case that will be needed...
