Ill start off. I've tried both a live backup and a standard backup with no luck. It was backing up data for over 2 hours before I finally canceled it. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Got the backup to work successfully in both recovery and live. However, I tried to restore a backup and it would not restore the data partition. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi, just recently I flashed my Backup ROM to retrieve contacts that I have lost. Before, I had only flashed the CleanROM and a theme from Wasabiwa3. But because my contacts were lost, I decided to start over and flash my Backup ROM. Using TWRP, I did. However, when I did, my phone hard bricked. It would not turn on, but would rather vibrate when I attempted. I have pulled the battery multiple times, plugged it into the computer, everything. Wasabiwa3 was able to get me out of my bricked phone. However, it seems as though my Backup is dead. I don't understand how restoring my Backup would cause my phone to brick. Why did that happen? Is there anything I can do to restore my Backup ROM/contacts?
Your backup is a ROM not a phone so how can a backup be dead? Also you didn't mention the name of the backup ROM. Nor did you say if you did what you supposed to do when flashing which wipe cache, dalvik and factory reset which you need to when switching from aosp and Touchwiz.
Make sure the backup contains a system partition back up within it, next wipe the system partition of your current rom and retry restoring from the backup. Or if you have a stock nandroid, use the advanced restore option to restore the system partition.

So earlier today my phone stopped getting service . After trial and error i ended up in a boot loop so i nandroid backped and factory reset. I reflashed PAC man ROM and all seemed good, so i went to nandroid advanced restore and tried to only restore data to try and not boot loop again.this ddidn't work so i wiped and flashed PAC man again. This time however i restored the boot and system and my phone works fine. I'm unsure of what restoring sd-ext will do. So my question is, how to i restore my data now from nandroid without getting boot looped? All i really need off of it is my texts. (Apps are on titanium)

I think your best option is to download nandroid manager from the playstore. That will allow you to pull your data from your backup and restore it from the app, it's similar to the way titanium backup restores data.
I think the issue you're having has to do with restoring data from a 4.2.2 rom. Most recoveries have issues with restoring data because 4.2.2 is setup for multiuser and the data locations are different. I think when you're restoring data only, it's not actually writing your data correctly and it's soft bricking your phone.

I got nandroid manager and it worked perfectly! Thanks a million!Exactly what I needed
Ok, so I asked this in XDA Assist but can't post reply there.
This is what happened on my Xperia mini St15i, with firmware 4.1.B.0.587:
1. I turned on Bluetooth and the phone got stuck in infinite boot loop - apparently this is a known bug.
2. I decided to try out CM 9. Installed CWM Recovery and did backup on sd card and flashed CM.
3. I remembered that I did the backup earlier so I thought maybe there is a way to keep my apps and data.
4. I went back to CWM and restored from backup. CM didn't boot then, so I flashed back stock rom with flashtool and booted the phone. The apps and data was there( at least for one app which was very important), but contacts and messages were gone.
So my question is, is there a way to recover ALL user data from the backup? I don't care if it's on stock rom or CM at this point.
I hope some of you knowledgeable people can help!
Many thanks,
Paul
Can someone please help. :crying:
I managed to restore it with all the data by trial and error (I don't know HOW). Then at night the phone lost battery and is back to rebooting forever.
If I restore all via CWM and then flash stock, it boots up saying "Android is upgrading" and then keeps rebooting.
If I do a factory reset via CWM and flash stock rom, the phone is back to factory setting with no data.
WHICH partitions should I recover and which should I flash to retain the data??? HELP :crying:
So, everytime I restore my backup with twrp, I always get some errors after restore.
Sometimes systemUI error, sometimes restore doesnt run successfully, etc.
I just want to know, is there actually a proper way to backup and restaore using twrp (like wiping things first, etc) or just directly backup and restore?
Thanks!
I never managed to get backup done and restored, never on this phone, no matter what twrp i use
Can anybody help?
My HTC U11 still run on Nougat.
Yesterday I want to update with the newer version of Nougat (Not Oreo)
I already make a data backup with TWRP, big backup 22Gb.
Then I update the new stock Rom from PC, it had no problem.
Go to download mode, and then install TWRP again with ADB from PC.
Go to TWRP Recovery, it still works.
The last thing I do is to try to restore the 22Gb data back to my phone.
And it always get error on 9% with "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"
I already change with difference TWRP from 3.1.1.0 to 3.2.3.0, still the same.
Restore to previous version of Nougat with TWRP (system, system image, boot image, recovery). Try to restore backup data again with no luck.
Try to check MD5 with the backup data, and it said matched, no corrupt.
Already try searching in the web, but with no solution too.
Do anyone ever have the same problem and solved it?

Did u try a format in twrp before installing the backup? Just thought
No, not format anything. Afraid did something would make the phone brick.

I have 2 backup. One is for system and one is data. I can restore system feom TWRP recovery, but can't restore data
After restore system,reboot to twrp and restore data
I had this problem and it took me two days to resolve it. I had a good backup and I know it was good because I had used it several times and it worked. But then after doing some system installs I got the error 255 when I tried to restore it. I tried several things to fix it and nothing worked and I really did not want to lose my backup. What did work for me was to use TWRP wipe function to FORMAT the phone. Wiping or factory reset did not work. I lost the contents of my internal SD card but I was able to transfer most to my external SD card. You could also connect the phone with a cable to a computer and use the pull command in ADB to backup the contents f the internal SD card. Given the choice between losing the SD card and the data files I come to lose some of the SD card. Anyway, a FORMAT worked when nothing else did. I read that this error is caused by a lack of space. When I checked the log it seemed that the restore was failing with a particular file which misled me to thinking I had to remove the corrupt file, but since after the format I was able to restore without any problem, it would seem that there was no corrupt data. Hope this helps someone.
