Hi all.
I am going to root and reinstall a brand new bacon phone.
I'd need to know which version of TWRP has working backup/restore features and can work on CM12.1/CM13 encrypted data.
I've read different posts about this but am a little bit confused.
TIA for any help/hint.
The newest
Hello and thank you for using Q/A,
please try the newest 3.0.0

Is v3.0.0 suggested for both points (backup+restore and ancryption)?
Did you tried it yourself (or maybe you have confirmation by other users) or are you asking me to give it try?
Thanks anyway.
I couldn't format the cache with this version and could not boot anymore. Solved flashing the original cache from fastboot zip.

I think there's a typo.
Do you mean "formatting the cache from fastboot" or "flashing the recovery from fastboot"?

I mean i flashed the cache.img via fastboot after extracting it from the fastboot zip package.

It's official. I don't know the meaning of what you said.
I mean, I never flashed a cache. I backet it up a few times but usually either I clear it(s content) or I format it(s partition).
Please help me to understand: I really don't understand.

Since the recovery (3.0.0) got stuck formatting the cache like it was corrupted, I restored it by flashing it as you do with a broken recovery.

This never happened to me, so far.
I install the recovery from recovery (either zip or img), then I reboot to recovery and do some checks. But I'ven't got the recovery stuck since years now.
Maybe I've just been lucky!

Hi, I was using TWRP to flash a new rom... I wiped but it took ages and appeared to have hanged. I powered down, then back up.
It loaded to Android... then froze.
Now I cant even boot to TWRP.
I can use WUGS toolkit to boot to twrp but I cant mount anything as it asks for a password to decrypt! I didnt have encryption enabled on my phone.
How can I fix this... I cant boot to Android to change USB debugging, only fastboot commands,
I think the fix is to format data. But try formatting just the cache first if you don't want to lose data.

My bad... I've only used Toolkits before (very lazy). I put the cache.img in the right folder... it now says its erasing cache. But its taking ages!

If you can get into fastboot there's recovery. The next step is to flash the factory image. You will lose all your data. In the factory image there is a flash-all batch file. Just plug your phone into the usb and run that. It should take about 5 Minutes to run it

Well bugger it! Thanks for the help guys. So, I'll try a relock and RMA. If the relock fails is it possible I can pay LG to fix it or is it just better to buy a new Nexus? Otherwise I imagine I'll be months without a phone.
Did I break the emmc or is it just a dodgy chip? Or maybe I didn't use the latest TWRP?
Hi,
i searched many threads here on xda to find a solution, but nothing works. I tried different recovery versions of twrp, cwm(philz) and the official cyanogenmod version.
I tried to flash it with sideload.
I think the problem is only with Lollipop ROM, cm-bacon-XNPH38R.zip he was able to flash.
I added a screenshot where the error happens.
I hope you guys can help me, please tell me if you need any more information?
And sorry for my bad english. ^^
Thanks in advance!

It looks like you're not wiping fully (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) before flashing.
Are you using multirom? That error is common if the updater-script file isn't multirom compatible

I did a full wipe and i don´t use multirom, i found the threads with those problems.

You definitely wiped system and data? Did you check the md5 of the ROM zip after downloading it?

Why did you say you'd done a full wipe when you hadn't? It's incorrect information like that that makes troubleshooting difficult. [emoji52]
Yes, wiping data makes a huge difference. Of course it does, you're leaving incompatible data behind, even if the flash succeeded you'd have bugs galore. You're supposed to do a full wipe (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) when you flash a new ROM.

Flashing is failing complete and i thought wiping data makes no difference in the flash progress. When the flash progress finishes i wanted to do a full wipe of data. If i wipe data, does it delete the content on the simulated sdcard(internal storage) too or only the app data?

No it doesn't touch your personal data, only app data and settings. Still doesn't answer why you said you'd wiped data when you hadn't.

I'm gonna go with @timmaaa on this one too with the new info you added. The hint to me is right in the screenshot. It can't flash over incompatible data.
You're not trying to flash f2fs ROM on ext4 are you? Or vice versa? What ROM are you trying to flash?

Either flash the latest TWRP zip file I believe its upto 2.8.6.0, or simply download the TWRP manager app from the play store and install it that way. Once installed just boot into Recovery and flash CM12s
Use clockwork work mod unofficial v6.0.4.8. Working.or else use liquid smooth nightly

You can't flash images from recovery, only zips. You need to use fastboot to flash a system image.
So there isn't any way
kingspeed said:

Actually, looking at your screenshots I might be wrong. I'm still on 2.8.0 and there is no option to flash images, only zips. But it looks like the version of TWRP you're running does have the option to flash images. I've never seen that before, you learn something new every day I guess. That being the case, I don't know why you would be getting that error. Are you sure you're trying to flash the correct image?
EDIT: I just checked out the TWRP thread, and according to the OP, you can only flash boot and recovery images, not system images. So I guess my original post still stands. If you want to flash a system image, you need to use fastboot. Otherwise, flash a ROM.

What's the big deal? Why not just use fastboot?
Thank you sir
did you know if anyone modified system.img to .zip ?
just system file without data
for don't delete my app

Fastboot flash system system.img is all you need

What do you mean you can't flash any ROM? Please try and be as clear as possible- if I don't understand what's going on, I can't be of much assistance.
What situation are you in? How did you get into your current situation?
So is your original system wiped? You can't boot into android anymore?
I'm so sorry sir
I have multirom manager , and by mistake I install Miui OS on the primary OS , after 10 seconds i stop it , so the primary KitKat system wiped.
Thanks to god I solved this problem by flash system.img from laptop and flash another recovery by (NRT toolkit ) than open multirom from the primary OS to reinstall last version of kernel and TWRP recovery
If you have the latest twrp you can flash img. If there is an error then the system.img must be corrupt (maybe bad download). Is your multirom up to date?

It was my understanding that you can flash any .img other than system.img. At least that's what it said in the OP of the TWRP thread when I read it the other day.

So are you up and running then?
And FYI, stop using toolkits. You should have flashed recovery the same way you flashed system.img, from your laptop with fastboot. Toolkits can cause a lot of problems and if you rely solely on them, you'll never learn how to fix any problems that you may encounter.
Oh, never actually used it, just knew you could flash img files.

Dude just boot to twrp -> Wipe -> format Phone -> type yes -> DONE! Now reboot twrp again and flash magisk. Ano it should boot fine. It's because of Samsung's DM-Verity and force encrypt.
PS: Formatting phone will delete all ur data on the phone including files on internal storage like pictures, downloads, etc. So keep a backup.
