I don't know why but TWRP can't save settings after I have changed it. Every reboot to TWRP results in language, time, options as it was before. Any help appreciated.
regards,
Because internal storage is encrypted. Sony don't see internal storage and can't save settings (default they located in /storage/TWRP

You have to wipe /data partition with TWRP to remove encryption, make backups before.

Thank you, actually I never wiped it. I flashed stock rom, boot.img, recovery.img, SuperSu, but I never wiped all phone.

So when I wipe data partion and it will become decrypted and visible for system - I will be able to save TWRP settings, then can I restore my data partion from backup so I have my data and apps back ?

Yes you will be able to make nandroid backups and restore and have access to the directories from TWRP, it will save your settings too.

Hi I did nandroid backup from TWRP and saved it. I wiped data partition and restarted the phone.
It looks like factory reset. I went to TWRP to restore data partition but it still boots to fresh system and looks like is not restoring data. It says in TWRP that data partition restored succesfully. So what is going on ?

If you wipe system you done loose data ... data here roughly means data partition which holds apps
it wipes only when you wipe data or a reset etc
in recovery you can make a backup of current rom ... you need abour 400 mb free space on sdcard
then try anything if it doesnt work out .. in recovery you can restore and nothing would be lost

i read "wipe system" in clockword mod means "Formatting the system partition will remove your ROM and leave your phone without an operating system "
that means i would lose my operating system or data then what do i do

you will loose your current rom not data ...
u see apps are in /data partition
and rom on /system ... so wiping system wont afftect /data
its like in windows when you reinstall windows ... only c: gets wiped rest like d: etc arent changed
for nandroid restore ... u can go in recovery > backup and restore ... there is an option for that

©FIRST & LAST >>WIPING/FACTORY RESETTING SYSTEM DOESN'T DELETING SYSTEM.
My dear bro.answer is very very simple
First thing- you want data but not settings right ?
Just go in recovery - go in backup section - backup whole system(do a nandroid bacup)
After that in main menu select -wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache and dalvik cache also,Ok
Now you only want data and fresh system(resetted) am i right ?
Now go to backup &restore - select Advance restore - select restore data only - select your last backup.
After that back in main menu and select reboot system now!and voila system rebooted(takes about 5-7 minutes ) and you can seeing problem is gone and all data is intact.as it is.
Last but no least - some of your apps that you installed separately is in internal memory is gone due to factory resetting system.
So it is adviced do a titanium backup of each before doing above things
Btw,who tells you wiping system delets itself?
Press thanks if i helped you!
So I recently flashed Paranoid Android based on Lollipop 5.1. Everything was working perfectly but I decided I wanted to flash Xperience kernel. I did a nandroid backup first. I flashed Xperience. After going into a bootloop I went back to TWRP to restore and retry to see what I did wrong. After restoring I am cought in a bootloop again. What should I do?
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache.

Already tried that. I already got it to boot but I lost all my apps and stuff so that sucks. I am still trying to make the restore work because I am lazy about downloading everything again configuring and personalizing my device again.

have you backupd all the stuff (/data /system /boot ) ??? thats really all that need. wiping cache means no real data loss. if yes, then wipe the phone complety( format /sytsem /data /cache /dalvik /internal storage) (maybe copy internl storeage on pc 1st) to make sure all is fine from phons side. after that restore your backup completly but without restoring cache & try to boot.

I did not backup everything. I only backed up what was checked by default on TWRP so that is probably it. Thanks.

i think TWRP atleast backups /system , /data & /boot maybe u check it? (you can tap on cutom restore or look in the backup folder to know whats bacupd)

Damm I am so stupid. Apparently I accidentally unchecked boot so it wasnt backed up. That is most likely the reason why I am not booting.

Ok then its easy. Wipe the Device, install only the Rom which has the needed kernel, Boot it once, then back to recovery & restore System + Data. Done =) good luck
Btw /Boot is the kernel. So you never restored your old kernel and spirit bootlooped like you say...

Still bootloop. I am giving up. Starting over.
Hi, I'm a bit new to Nandroid Backup, so when you click backup in TWRP then there is "Partitions to Backup" options. I read a guide that you have to check Boot, System, and Data. The thing is, can I just backup System and Boot? And when I restore them does my phone will gone wrong?
Thanks
• Boot is to start the phone up. This is always needed.
• System is for the ROM. This is always needed.
• Data is for your installed apps and settings. Basically, if you backup and restore this, it will be like you used a time machine.
Every data backup is for its own ROM! Do not ever try to restore a data backup from a different ROM!
• Cache is basically the cache. It is not needed, but you can. It speeds up the startup after restoring. If you don't backup it, it will be recreated anyway but you have to wipe your old cache first otherwise they will conflict.

Hi
No it will not , the partition used for that , backups, user data ( photos , music) , apps and configurations is the Data Partition ...that is the partition you reset when you do a factory reset
So I'm on twrp recovery (rooted Oneplus 3T) and i do a lot of moding which often results in bootloops, so I resort to my backups made in twrp. I was wondering if I'm doing a clean flash of a new rom and it fails, do i still have the backups?
Factory reset wipes only Data , Cache , and Dalvik.
If you select Advanced Wipe and then wipe the Internal Storage or select the option Format Data from the Wipe menu then you will lose your backups (and all your personal data too ) as they are located in Internal Storage/TWRP/Backups.

What if you selected Factory Reset from Android Settings? Does that delete the TWRP directory (folder) and its contents as well (which contains the Nandroid backups)?

Yes, if your TWRP backups are stored in internal sdcard, factory reset from settings will wipe the internal sdcard and remove your TWRP folder and the backups contained in that folder.
BUT...
If your backups are stored on external sdcard, they will not be wiped by factory reset from settings, they also would not be wiped by factory reset from TWRP.

Yeah... If you don't have SDcard, make sure your NAndroid backups or ROMs are backed up on your PC or external hard drive. Otherwise you cannot install/flash your new ROM which includes the android system.

Or, you could just factory reset in TWRP, factory reset from within TWRP does not wipe data/media, otherwise known as user storage partition where the TWRP folder is stored, therefore, any TWRP backups stored in the TWRP folder in your internal sdcard will not be wiped by the factory reset process from within TWRP.
However, factory reset in TWRP does wipe data/data partition, where user settings and user installed apps are stored. If your ROMs are also stored in the data/media(user storage partition), they will not be wiped by the factory reset process from within TWRP either.
