Hi guys, I am using Blue Spart TWRP and ran into issues while restoring from backup. When I restored, and press reboot system. It reboots me to TWRP.
I backed up and restored partitions which were selected by default. Am I doing something wrong?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the Photon Q area. But anyways I flashed TWRP successfully, then SU. I then made a backup and booted to system. It worked fine. The I flashed the power menu mod. Now my phone just boots to the "Sprint logo" (yellow background) and stays there. I then recovered from my backup and it still does the same thing. I've cleared dalvik and cache. Any ideas....

nvm, turns out my system backup was corrupt. Got it fixed. Now if I just figure a few things out I've got a few treats for you all.
Ive got the same problem but i used CWM and i tried reflashing extended power menu as well as flashing the stock power menu. I also tried flashing the stock recovery to see if i could get the phone to master reset but it says it cant find the file when i hit enter. I also have tried doing a factory data reset in CWM.

Why not just restore the backup you took from before you made the power menu changes...?
You did take a backup before making those changes, yes?

Do you have _any_ backups to restore?
If not, you'll probably have to find the stock stuff floating around here somewheres. I posted a system image backup from TWRP, that wasn't quite stock. I think some others posted bone stock backups.
Edit - looks like you got help in another thread... That you created... In the future, try to keep the exact same question isolated to one thread. It dilutes the community effort if you post the same question across multiple forums/threads.
So earlier today my phone stopped getting service . After trial and error i ended up in a boot loop so i nandroid backped and factory reset. I reflashed PAC man ROM and all seemed good, so i went to nandroid advanced restore and tried to only restore data to try and not boot loop again.this ddidn't work so i wiped and flashed PAC man again. This time however i restored the boot and system and my phone works fine. I'm unsure of what restoring sd-ext will do. So my question is, how to i restore my data now from nandroid without getting boot looped? All i really need off of it is my texts. (Apps are on titanium)

I think your best option is to download nandroid manager from the playstore. That will allow you to pull your data from your backup and restore it from the app, it's similar to the way titanium backup restores data.
I think the issue you're having has to do with restoring data from a 4.2.2 rom. Most recoveries have issues with restoring data because 4.2.2 is setup for multiuser and the data locations are different. I think when you're restoring data only, it's not actually writing your data correctly and it's soft bricking your phone.

I got nandroid manager and it worked perfectly! Thanks a million!Exactly what I needed
Hi all,
I have A6000 with OOS 9.0.5. I installed magisk and TWRP with this guide. I did a full backup, however I cannot restore it. I get error 255 on tarExtractFork(). I use official TWRP 3.3.0. After failed restore I can still boot to (now freshly wiped after attempted restore) system. Even backups of this clean system cannot be restored.
For the record, I don't have a second profile, no "999" user id, I didn't change slots, I removed screen lock before making backup. I still have this problem even if I backup just data, with all other options unticked.
Any help? I come from a device, which didn't have any problems with backup/restore so this is a bummer for me. But I'm sure that users of OP6 can do backups and restores.
Thanks!
For anyone that also has the same problem:
This helped me. I have a feeling that flashing just data through fastboot could be enough, but I didn't have an occasion to check it, as even subsequent restores worked.
I used this to flash device in fastboot mode.
Anyone running into bootloops when restoring TWRP backups?
yes, unfortunately I have the same problem

At the time of backing up in twrp only select boot, system image, vendor image, data and efs, don't select anything else. At the time of restore make sure the same is selected and nothing else, it should restore and boot, read the tips on the link below, cheers.

There seem to be more options to backup in TWRP than my past phone.
To create a TWRP backup that will effectively restore phone if something happens what backup options should I select?
In past I just chose Boot, System and Data
