Hi, I have my HTC one x, running CM10. I was prompted for an update to 10.1 so I downloaded and installed, but the phone would not boot, so I downloaded the build I was running before the 10.1 and installed it. The install went fine, however the phone gets stuck in a boot loop while the CM logo is spinning, and wil not progress further than that point. I figure I probabley have to wipe my phone and do a clean install, so how would I extract all of my contacts pictures and app information from the phone? Or is there a different way that I could reinstall the ROM and get it to boot past the logo? thanks!
EDIT: I have since wiped the phone, but i do have backups obtained from TWRP, when I go to restore them the keep bootlooping, can I extract data from them?
If you are on hboot 2.20, and restore a TWRP backup of a "different" ROM than is currently on the phone, then you need to flash the boot.img of the "old" ROM (in your case CM10.0) via fastboot.
There is no way that I know of to extract app data or other user data from a TWRP backup. But I'm guessing that flashing the boot.img will get you back to the old ROM. From there, use Titanium Backup to backup your app data.
The default on Android is for your contacts to save to the Gmail cloud. So unless you turned this off, you shouldn't need to backup or migrate contact info. Just login to Gmail on your computer to see if the contact info is there. Really this is the way Android is meant to be used (contacts, calendar, Gmail is on the cloud and doesn't require any action by the user to backup), so its always a surprise to me that people turn this off.
I am having some serious troubles with upgrading my Galaxy Note 4 SM-910P (Sprint). All was well in rooting, un-rooting, etc... I have the original 4.4.4 and the new 5.0 backed up and now I can't use anything other than the firmware the original firmware package through Odin. The problem started when I installed the [ROM]ViSiON-X N4 SPR 5.0.1 [Android L 5.0][N910PVPU1BOB7-R1][03-11-15]. It installed fine but when ever I was not watching it a problem occurred such as getting locked out of ny ext SD, or just plain un-rooting itself. It finally came down to it just kicked my device into download mode and would not reboot. I did used chains Odin root method and installed TWRP, which I can still do but can not flash or restore from TWRP or CWM recovery. It will take the firmware package fine and download the 5.0 update but always gets stopped from any other upgrade at recovery be it stock or custom. I have even used Kies to try and upgrade a few time. It will upgrade from NK1 to NK2 but still will not upgrade anything else past recovery. Every time I reboot I lose my WIFI password. After every boot it takes a minute for any network to be able to reach the device. It is paused until I re enter my WiFi password then it will say that Android is done upgrading and there is a toast message that says "device is set to factory mode some items won't work on this mode set device to user mode". Can someone please tell me how to set my device to user mode or erase what ever is lockled in my device between download and recovery. The issue I described with the device wanting to stay in download mode and how to handle it is described her http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59372208&postcount=3 but as I mentioned I can't get passed anything that is not firmware through Odin. If I had to be locked in one version forever I would have preferred it be 5.0
I figured it out

I fianlly figured out the deal with TWRP not flashing.
The change between file systems is what TWRP won't flash.
To flash into the new, the old, or back up property check the file type.
Ext 2, Ext 4, F2FS, etc ...
To get recovery to load install from odin with auto boot disabled, remove battery, than vol + - menu and power.
the steps below..
1. Power off (complete) boot to download.
2. Load Odin, uncheck auto reboot, PDA TWRP. after it installs pull battery to exit.
3. Boot to recovery - wipe- advanced wipe -Repairor Change File System - Check System (go thruough each)
4. Repair and change each to the file type you want to flash
5. repair and or change the files for the zip you are going to flash
6. you have done all the rest before ....
Issue resolved, thread closed, thanks.
As you can see from the title, I am looking for a way to stop my phone from re encrypting itself every time I update his firmware.
It is rooted with magisk and has twrp installed.
If there is no way to prevent it from re encrypting everything, is there a way to backup all my data in a manner that would allow me to reinject it retaining all the data? (like the authentication tokens and such)
I really need help in this domain since I seem to be unable to find a workaround myself and also the 8.0 update seems to be just around the corner and I want to be able to update and keep everything.
Smart Switch is not an alternative since it does back up all the apps but it does not back up the data.
~Thanks

anyone?
heeeeeeeeelp
Have you found a way?... I'm in your situation and it's been frustrating me for a decade...
After updating my ROM, I don't have access to /data in TWRP, because the Update encrypts it.
I haven't set a password, so I tried the TWRP Terminal and do "twrp decrypt default_password". I read that "default_password" is the standard encryption password, but it doesn't work...
How to update ROM without /data getting encrypted
Dude, I found out how to disable the Forced Encryption!
Or in other words, how to update ROM without /data getting encrypted!
The key is: Before the first android boot, flash TWRP, boot into TWRP, flash Magisk.
Why: Because the first android boot encrypts /data. And Magisk disables this Encryption-process.
So, step by step:
1. Make a complete backup, in case you fail the steps (I use TWRP for backups)
2. Flash your updated ROM with ODIN.
3. Let it reboot to the blue screen stuff. (That's not the android boot, yet! It's just the Samsung Bootloader finalizing the update)
4. Your phone will reboot again now, DON'T LET IT BOOT TO ANDROID! Boot into Download Mode instead!
5. In ODIN, uncheck "Auto Reboot" and flash TWRP.
6. Now reboot from Download Mode into TWRP.
7. Flash Magisk.
8. Done! You can reboot now.
/data is now accessable in TWRP and in Android, in Settings > Biometrics and Security, you will now see the option to "Encrypt device" "Device not encrypted".
Notice:
Everytime you flash an updated ROM, you need to flash Magisk immediately afterwards. After the blue screen process, but before the first android boot!
Do not forget this, when flashing an updated ROM in the future!
Too bad i'm 2 years late for you, but I hope other people with the same problem find this.
Hello,
I have an Samsung note 10+ n975f and it have root over magsik.
I updated magisk manager and than i can't start magisk manger (app cloesed after start)
After this i make a reboot and now i have a bootloop.
If i press power and volume - it makes an restart but still the same problem.
Pressing powerbutton for more than 10 seconds didn't do anything.
I tried to go to twrp with power and volume - switching volume - with volume + after display goes black but twrp didn't start.
Have anybody a idea what i could do, to boot the phone and how i get my data of internal storage
best regards
segg
Helo!
I have the same situation, for the future: do not update magisk manager, because it confuse the boot partition.
1., go to download mode and flash the twrp again
2., if you have backup from the working system: restore only the boot partition and restart - otherwise need reinstall the rom (without format your data)
It is working for me (note 10 SM-N970F/DS)
Hello,
thank you for your information. I flashed first twrp new but twrp didn't start. I don't know what i did in wich order now but i was forced to make a factory reset so i flashed the stockrom and flash than then twrp to restore my backups.
Now i know that twrp didn't make a complete backup from my nand and i lost many data. Why i can make a backup from my data partition if my data isnt backed up? This feature is really useless. So now i have to find out how i can rsync my phone with all data before i lost my data again.
Maybe help for twrp start:
When you flashed twrp and phone reboot, you must pushing immediately power and volume up button both starting twrp first time. If twrp running, you can backing up anything you want, and pc can read phone storage also.
Yes thats true but i had no chance to go to twrp if i was pressing the power and volume + button nothing happens still after the new flashed twrp. I automatically come to a menu where i should make a factory reset. After this the phone still didn't boot and i flash the whole stock image on the phone and install root and twrp. than the phone and twrp works and i install my last backup from february. Saidly i found out my data wasn't backed up and only my apps and some other things was back.
Thanks for your replay.
The data is now lost so i can't change this now. I read twrp didn't backup /data/media.
I try to find out how to get sshd and rsync running with root rights. I tried now simplesshd but i can't explore the whole phone and don't get root rights. My plan is to sync all data every day with my nas.
I had to send in my Galaxy S9+ (Android 9) for repair and backed to all partitions with TWRP. Then I factory reset it. After I got my repaired phone back I thought now it's time to update Android. I flashed to Android 10 with a new bootloader. Then I wanted to get my apps and data back from the backup from Android 9. I wanted to restore my full TWRP Android 9 backup. I could restore the backup, but the phone does not boot up.
Meanwhile I read that once updated a new bootloader one can't go back to a lower Android version. Can anyone tell me why? When I back up my PC (linux) partitions with dd and restore them, everything is as at the time the backup was done. Where is the difference between phone and PC? This is just for my understanding.
The main questions is what I can do to recover my TWRP backup done in Android 9:
Is there any way to recover my data from my backup images?
Do I have to buy another S9+ with Android 8 or 9 to be able to recover my backup and access my data?
Any backup created by TWRP is a TAR archive you can extract by Windows / Linux command line.
You can't rollback after updating the bootloader, because flashing the bootloader to a lower version isn't done in the usual ways.
Think of it as PC's BIOS, they both have similar functions. Can you update a BIOS normally?
So to answer your questions:
You can try a different version of TWRP, specifically v3.5.0+ as it supports dynamic/logical partitions of android 10.
You can also extract any backup done by TWRP.
Finally, you can always just flash a custom ROM and restore your backup.
Thanks a lot for your answers so far.
When I did the backup I chose all partitions to be backed up. When in my situation I cannot restore all partitions to not to soft-brick the phone, can you please tell me, which partitions of my Android 9 backup I have to choose in TWRP to restore in my Android 10 system?
