For some reason, I have to factory reset my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/disappear-hard-disk-t3222734#post63254887
Just wanna know, since I have titanium backup on my nexus 5 devices. Does a factory reset (or any kind of wipes) wipe the internal storage of my phone (including the backup).
If so, how should i proceed with my backup if i wanna factory reset the phone
Thanks.

Wait what, why do u need to do a factory reset, and yes, as the name suggests, it leaves the device in the same state that u received it in, blank, but why would u need to wipe the device, I'm going to check out the link, bcuz now I'm interested
I have never seen this happen before and I've owned nothing but Nexus devices, well, to answer your question I have to ask a few, are u rooted, do u have a recovery installed? If the answer to those two questions is no, then connect to a computer, copy the files in your internal storage and place them in a safe folder on your computer, proceed to wipe the device as stated, then copy the files back onto the device, should take care of your internal storage.

Yes, pls check on my other thread
And yes, I do have a rooted, twrp recovery and stock 5.1.1 rom.
So is it possible for me to move the titanium backup folder to my pc, reset my nexus and than recover app using titanium backup again?
Thanks

That might work, in theory it should, as long as u go back to 5.1.1, or u could just make a data only backup in twrp, download the factory image, whether it be 6.0 or 5.1.1, use the pc and adb to manually flash the images, do this
1) make data only backup, move that backup to pc
2) extract the images, both the tgz file and the zip file inside to a safe location, u only need the radio, boot, system, and userdata images if 6.0, just system and userdata if 5.1.1
3) use adb to flash these images like this:
fastboot flash radio "radio.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot "boot.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot flash system "system.img"
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot format userdata
fastboot reboot bootloader
Then boot to recovery, flash your backup and that's should be it

ok, quick question arise
let say i make a titanium backup files (from 5.1.1) and move them to my pc for future use. Can I restore the files done under 5.1.1 and restore them to a marshmallow ?

Few questions
Do I have to reset using stock recovery? Or twrp reset will do?
Can I just reset under setting?

No u can't use the factory reset button in settings as the stock room won't recognize twrp, u can however use twer and wipe cache, data, and dalvik cache, or just do the reg factory reset wipe under wipe which should work as well as a factory reset, why are u trying to factory reset tho, if I might ask

because my nexus 5 showing 14gb instead of 32gb. I heard a factory reset will help the problem. I just dont know which factory reset (recovery or in setting) to do.
but if i use twrp wiping cache, data and dalvik (leaving system and internal storage alone).... will it wipe my lollipop os too? will it wipe my storage too?
what is the different between the factory reset under setting and the factory reset under twrp?
sorry for so many questions....

Ok so to answer your question, u can wipe anything EXCEPT Internal Storage, system, and boot and you won't lose anything, personally I would do this, boy twrp and use the regular factory reset, this will error everything except got the OS and internal storage, if that didn't work then I would manually format the partitions

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.
