Restore TWRP Backup?

Hi, just have a quick question that's been bugging me for a while now. If I have made a full backup using TWRP and I want to restore it, should I:
Fully wipe system and caches and then restore; or just restore right over my current ROM?

****, good question

Restore takes care of wiping for you.

Piggybacking off the OP, sometimes when I try to restore my TWRP backup it fails, and then the only way I've found to get it working again is to do a boot loader factory reset, and then essentially start from scratch or load an older working backup. No problem, just a minor annoyance. Is there something I'm doing wrong or any advice someone can give me?

I always wipe everything before a restore, just in case
Better safe than sorry

Restoring a back up !
When restoring a back up from any recovery wipe everything just as if you were installing a new rom. Factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, system just to be safe. Factory reset wipes data and all cache but not system and if you do a factory reset and then try to wipe I think dalvik again you get an error but no harm done it just will not do it again. I usually do them all and then do the superwipe zip and that willl give you a good piece of mind that it is properly wiped. Also, I have noticed that using the external sd card seems to work best for installing roms or backing up and restoring back ups or anything else like mods or themes. Here is the superwipe zip in case anyone needs it.

I've done both, but I like not having reinstall all my apps, and reset all my ringtone, and that goes with a full wipe. so when ever i can i flash over. Just make sure your slashing the same rom over the old one.

You shouldn't worry about losing ANYTHING on a backup when you do a factory reset, because the backup houses all of the data and settings anyway.
All you do is Factory Reset, Nandroid>Restore, and your old backup will flash everything the way it was when you did a backup in the first place. Factory Reset is always wise, especially when you're fiddling with different ROM's based on different kernels or systems (AOSP/Sense).

Ahh, this is true I recant my statement. I was mistakenly thinking about flashing a new ROM over an older version, not a buck-up. I feel stupid.

when restoring a nandroid if you've got the new HBoot I think you have to restore boot.img separately via fastboot. Is that right?

Nope. I just flashed a bunch of roms yesterday and did restores with no issue. I think if your using the stock rooted 2.2 you are correct, but any other rom a restore works fine.

Not Restoring = Bad Idea

I have made the mistake of not wiping everything (excluding sd card) when changing ROMs or when restoring from a backup. This may be a little different because it was when I was switching to a new ROM on my brother's phone, but I tried to take the lazy way out and not restore everything. I really didn't feel like redownloading everything. I soon learned that this was a mistake, and his "phone" app suddenly disappeared. He was also unable to send or receive texts. This soon made the process even longer than I wished it to be because I needed to go back and restore everything again and get it back to normal.

Error While Restoring using twrp
I took a back up of everything using TWRP and then when i tried to restored its giving me error while restoring system E:Unable to extract tar archive . Please help

Are you trying to restore a backup from a different version of TWRP? For example, currently running 2.7.0.8 but backup was originally made using 2.3.3.1?

error on backup restore twrp

WOW! After a good 3/4 days of frustration, thinking I had ruined my device, I finally got my TWRP backup to restore.
It's my first time using this software and the restoration process is truly amazing. I mean, my test messages were still there, even my browser history and last page loaded up in chrome were still there. I'm blown away.
The strange thing is that It didn't work when all 3 partitions were selected. When I tried it this way (as per the many step by step instructions that I read) my phone would load up a black screen with just the notification bar visible. I'd see my voicemail, sms, wifi and battery icons at the top, but absolutely nothing else except for a myriad of pop ups that read 'Unfortunately [app name] has stopped working'.
So I bit the bullet and did some trial and error with the partitions.
Turns out that when I only selected 2 of the 3 (I believe they were 'Boot', 'Data' and deselected 'System') everything loaded up just as it was before the backup, except there were only the stock apps available and no google services at all. .....Very odd.
So I did the boot to recovery method before turning the phone off (vol. up - Home - Power) which restarted the phone and strangely brought back EVERYTHING as mentioned at the start of this post.
You can probably understand my confusion here and while I'm VERY happy that it all worked out, I don't understand why it worked with only 2 of the partitions but not with the recommended 3 of them?
Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hmmm. I'm definitely no pro at this stuff, in fact i'm very new when it comes to using TWRP, but this is what happened with me.
First of all, the backup that I did was simply a folder of files, not zip.
Transferred that do my PC, wiped my phone with TWRP and replaced the backup folder back into the TWRP/Backup folder. However, after reading up on how to restore on about 10 different android sites/forums, only 1 post shared the most vital piece of information.
You folder has to be in the 'serial' number folder that's located in the 'Backup' folder for TWRP.
When I put my backup folder just into the TWRP/Backup folder, the Restore section would only see the folder itself but the partitions were not available/listed for selection.
Once I placed my Backup folder into the TWRP/Backup/e1oog75 (that alphanumeric name is just a random example made for visual clarity) folder, my partitions were visible and available for selection right away.
Hopefully this helps somewhat.

Help! Oneplus One isn't working properly, possibly corrupt data partititon?

Warning! Long and confusing!
Ok, awhile I go I notice I couldn't perform anymore nandroid backups, it always stopped while backing up /data and failed. Unfortunately, I deleted my latest backup to make room for new backup (which failed).... Also, when that started happening, I noticed everytime I did something in TWRP it would always say failed to stat E /data/data/com.android.chrome/blahblah In fact,it still does that.
So I continued using my oneplus as normally with stock 44s rom and today I decided I wanted to be able to do nandroid backups again. I decided to try mahdi rom and see how it went. Well after installing it and gabpps I rebooted and got com.android.phone has quit, and that message kept on popping up over and over again. Also it said my uid was inconsistent and I needed to wipe data partition (I had done this many times!). Well after messing around and re flashing and wiping over and over again I decided to try another rom, cyanhacker, and I got the same result. So I found a 44s stock rom and flashed it.
Ok, so I everything is working fine, I am setting up the phone until I goto play store and try to download titanium backup to restore all my data. Well.... I kept on getting error unable to install -24. So I googled the error and it said I had to clear /data/apps but when looking at it using stock file explorer there was nothing in there! So I can't install any apps as of this moment unless I never had it on my device before.
Recap: How do I:
1. Get my Oneplus One to install apps again
2. Fix the stat issue in twrp and be able to make nandroid backups
Without messing with internal storage.
So I think all of this is because my data partition is corrupt, so how do I fix this? I tried repairing in twrp and that did nothing. I don't want to clean install everything because I have photos and stuff on internal sd I don't want messed with. I did backup alot to a usb drive but still nervous about it.
Help!

Well I tried reformatting and that wiped my internal storage! Well i have apps backed up with titanium and my photos so that's safe.....
Well I can't even install a rom zip because it can't find partition anymore

With all the different flashes you mentioned, did you try manually flashing the factory/stock images using fastboot?

*Edit* also TWRP has a repair option for different partitions. You could try that.

I ended up downloading Zip file from cyanogen's site and flashing everything through Fastboot. That fixed all my problems I was having.

Using TWRP, I tried fixing permissions, factory wipe, format data--none worked.
Then I wiped everything EXCEPT "System", and after that the error message was gone. Had to go through phone setup again however, I think, after which I simply restored a functioning nandroid from before the time that the "unable to stat..." error message first appeared. Bear in mind though that all my user files were gone, but fortunately I already had a backup of those from which to restore.
Not sure what caused the initial error--mine had something to do with googlequicksearchbox.

[Q] Twrp screen turns on turns off turns on infinitum... Please help.

Please help. Had pacman running great, thought that I could go back to my previous ROM and use titanium backup to backup game data so I don't have to start over. I made a backup right before going to my po previous ROM. Needless to say I couldn't get the game data. When I restored pacman,it was glitchy.programs would not open or just quit .so I figured reinstall start over. I get the rom loaded and I make a mistake on which backup to restore apps from. So. I pull battery do it again, but it wasn't right more of the same problems. So I figured just use the factory reset feature in pacman to start over. I do it and leave the room. When I come back the twrp screen would come on then turn off then turn back on infinitum. What can I do if twrp just flashes and I many get in.

Your twrp setup is corrupted. There is no easy way to fix this except to delete the twrp folder which may contain backups. Flash philz recovery of you want to fresh flash a rom.

Thanks,p so you're saying

Thanks. So you're saying I need to do this with add, since it won't boot properly? What's better about Phil's recovery and will I be able to load my backups, which are on the ext SD card and I made such tarp?

We can fix twrp once you're able to boot up again. Flash philz and any custom rooted rom first.
---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------
Then with a root browser like the one in rom toolbox, delete the .twrps file from the twrp folder on the sdcard. This should reset the settings so you can use twrp again to get to your backups.

Soft brick after restoring backup with TWRP

Ok... As you can see from this thread,
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...en-restore-t3804734/post76832485#post76832485
I soft bricked my phone after trying to restore a backup in official TWRP.
I followed this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643
And jumped over to this tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-official-twrp-t3801558 per this post in the tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76564290&postcount=5 note that this post points to another way of getting TWRP. The link I went to is how to install OFFICIAL TWRP.
And jumped back to the original tutorial for the rest. I'm scared to death now to try and test the restore functionality in TWRP. Has anyone successfully restored a backup? If so, what steps did they take to get the backup and what steps did they take restoring backup? What partitions did the check.mark during backup and what partitions did they check mark during restore? And do you need to do anything with changing the a/b slots????
Edited to add correct link to install official TWRP.

Flash stock ROM in TWRP, flash TWRP again. It won't touch data partition but you can restore just your data partition from your TWRP backup. Boot into system once, then reboot recovery and flash magisk if you want root. All modules you have will be back and active after that.

On the off chance TWRP says there is no OS after flashing stock ROM and TWRP, ignore messages and boot anyway. It will restore your phone without losing all data.

It was the first time for me trying to restore a twrp backup because I borked something in the renovate magisk install.

Ok. Just tried what tdamocles did. But I've been wiping before restore. I then just restore and select system, boot, and data. I did not reflash TWRP. Rebooted and everything was good. Still had root and didn't need to reflash magisk. Was also able to reboot back into TWRP, so there was no need to reflash TWRP. But.... I think that is due to not flashing the stock room first. I'm assuming that if you reflash stock that you will indeed have to reflash TWRP. So, conclusion... If you restore system, boot, and data then no need to reflash TWRP and in my case no need to reflash magisk. Again, this is without lock screen security. My next test will be with lock screen security unless someone posts a negative result before I do.

You will not be able to get past encrption if you decrypt in TWRP and restore. It essentially forgets encryption key.

Just performed a backup with lock screen security and was able to restore the backup choosing system, boot, and data. No reflashing of TWRP or magisk. Not sure if needed but I've been performing basic wipe before all my restores. Still able to boot back into TWRP and still had root.

Nice.

I have restored from twrp a couple times now with no problem.. I did get the message saying can't mount system or something like that, ok I went into the mount options and mounted system after that the restore worked perfectly and I could boot back into the rom and back into twrp after.

Restored mine yesterday too, all files checked when backup, deleted lockscreen settings before, few bootloops at the beginning, until phone changed slot, then booted into system. Cheers!

Not necessary to check all partitions. This only results in a huge nandroid file.

Struggles with restoring my backup

Hey, last week or so I upgraded my onplys 6 to the official android pie. I didn't like it so I wanted back to my previous official android ROM(lastest oxygen) from onplus6, So I tried to flash twrp again. But My phone went straight into QUALCOMM Crash Dump for some reason. After few hours of googling a solution I got twrp again. I tried to restore my backup (still on Android pie) and I flashed my full back up. When it was finished i rebooted my phone and only got a black screen while only the LED was blinking. It was basically bricked. After another few hours of searching I got an solution to unbrick my phone. Now I'm back on oxygen 5.1.5. my question is, how do I back up my previous backup? Just wipe cache en dalvik en flash only the data from my backup? I would really appreciate to hear some tips.
And sorry for my bad English

First of all its nearly impossible to restore a nanroid backup through twrp on an encrypted device, secondly, you said you are on 5.1.5 which is oreo you cannot restore a pie rom when you are running oreo anyway and vice versa, the only way I could successfully backup and restore through twrp was to go decrypted, hope this helps.

I tried to restore my backup (still on Android pie) and I flashed my full back up. When it was finished i rebooted my phone and only got a black screen while only the LED was blinking. It was basically bricked. After another few hours of searching I got an solution to unbrick my phone. Now I'm back on oxygen 5.1.5. my question is, how do I back up my previous backup? Just wipe cache en dalvik en flash only the data from my backup? I would really appreciate to hear some tips.
And sorry for my bad English

***How did you manage to get twrp installed again without the crash dump?

Keep the backups simple. Just system data and boot, nothing else. And don't backup the system or data images. Should restore fine, it does for me anyway.

Question. Why not backup data images? I know twrp doesn't let you by default now, but I'm just curious..

Doing so for me cause the device is corrupt message when booting.
