I flashed it but forgot to backup, stuck in boot loop (yellow sprint screen) ... So I backed up everything in TWRP... if I do a system restore /factory wipe, and then restore from twrp backup, will the bootloop go with it?

Sadly, if you made the backup while your system was in a bootloop, that backup will bring back the bootloop when restored.
Sorry about that.
Something happened to my phone and I succeeded to flash it all new with Android 9.0 which I was on.
But when I try restore twrp backup (data and/or System) I always end up with bootloop.
Tried to reflash Magisk too but doesn't help.
Bootloops right back to TWRP after 2 minutes.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can get my data back from the twrp backup?
Tried to official twrp and bmu_sparks.
Thanks.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. If you still have access to TWRP, enter it and wipe everything and install newest oxygen pie zip. TWRP is broken for our devie and backups cannot be trusted I'm afraid. Wish I knew this before.

After restore is complete do not reboot, try the following, it might work,
1-Do not do any wipe,
2-Flash exactly the same ROM which is backed up,
3-Flash twrp,
4-Reboot twrp.
5-Flash Magisk,
8-Reboot system,
In case you are trying to go back from pie to oreo you have to flash roll back rom.
All the best, hope this helps., cheers.
Have tried all that with no luck. But if I do a Factory reset any time after the data restore the phone works but then I dont have any data
This sucks big time.
Have installed all from scratch. Luckly fastboot was working all the time
Some data I could restore with Titanium Backup but not so much I needed/wanted.
Too bad we cant rely on TWRP and its backup/restore feature.

Its good only in the case if you are decrypted, since the time I'm decrypted no such problems, if you want you can try it,

Using TWRP backups on this phone is fun but not impossible. This process works for me.
1. Store backups on something other than the phone (I use an OTG card reader and 128 GB SD card)
2. Use a Fastboot Rom of THE EXACT SAME ROM as the backup and let it do it's thing flashing the phone (it will also wipe the phone in the process, which is why you need to store the backup elsewhere)
3. Boot up the phone and go through the whole process of setting it up. Don't worry about installing all your apps.
4. Install TWRP and Magisk if you used it on the backup.
5. Now restore your TWRP backups - just restore system, data, and boot.
I have done this at least 100 times and it has always worked.
I presume the fastboot rom is not only gonna wipe the internal drive but will also lock the bootloader, thats a lot of hassle to do every time you want to restore, but thanks for your suggestions, cheers.

The fastboot rom wipes the internal drive but DOES NOT lock the bootloader. Besides, I haven't seen or heard of another way to use TWRP backups without decrypting the phone, and I have security concerns with decrypting the phone.

ohh ok, I thought it locks it but thanks for the info, yes thats why I decrypted my device, lets hope in this thread we could find a easy way out to restore sucessfully while encrypted, have you tried just backing up boot, system and data and than restoring it ? cheers

Yes I tried. Without the fastboot rom to reset everything that stupid encryption bites you in the butt.
Yep. I just restored an entire nandbackup, and now my phone boots to a quailcomm dump screen only, can't fastboot into recovery or anything. Guess my new plans tonight involve fixing this thing.
I also got a bootloop after restoring 8.1 android with twrp 3.3.1 by nemo nemo on my leagoo xrover.
factory reset and wiping everything exept microsd card didnt help...
thanks for some help

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?

Hi guys,
I've been using TWRP on nearly all my devices and never had problems doing nandroid backups and restores.
Well today, I've been to a near-hard brick and barely managed to get back to boot after I attempted to restore a backup.
My steps:
1. Backup all partitions available
2. Restore those
After that I end up in the bootloader and couldn't boot into anything. Anyway, I solved it but want to know:
Did I do something wrong? What would be the correct steps and/or partitions to backup and restore?
Thanks

I did the same thing and ended up in a worse problem. It would not even go into recovery or be recognized by the computer. Gave me a near heart attack and took several hours and some luck to read the right article to recover. I think one has to only save and restore system, vendor, boot and data. One article on TWRP website has recommended that one should only save system image and vendor image and restore them. What would happen to the data partition then? I am not willing to try again unless someone can give a step by step description for fear of hard bricking my Pixel 2.
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
