I still have the original ROM. I have rooted it.
Before installing Malaysk's ROM i wish to backup the original
I know i can use Nandroid to backup. BUT should i choose TWRP or clockwordmod Backup?
And does the recovery of the unit support restore from this kind of backups?

How would you install a custom recovery like TWRP? Is there a specific one to our devices?
That is exactly my question..
while with nandroid backup you can backupe yourn ROM in two formats (TWRP and clockwordmod), my question is how do you restrore from these backup files since we can not install TWRP or clockwordmod..
My qustion is whether the factory recovery can restore from these backups
Good evening, I saw some questions similar to this one in the forum, but none had my kind of doubt.
When a new ROM comes out for both S7 and S8, I install via ODIN using the CSC HOME option, so as not to lose the data.
The problem is in the installation of TWRP whenever I install the same by ODIN, when entering the app and trying to install example no-verity ja start I get the message that the DATA folder has been corrupted and can not be mounted.
This way it only works once again doing WIPE DATA, but then I lose my data and I have to start from scratch.
Is there a way this does not happen or will it always be like this when updating a ROM?
Thank you.

Have you tried backing up data with twrp before you wipe and copying it to your pc so you can do a full wipe then put the backup onto the phone and flash It? You can back up data folder only

Good afternoon,
Thanks for the reply.
So from what I mentioned above, I do a full backup as I normally do, and I also do a separate from the DATA folder.
Then I install the ROM and TWRP, will it corrupt the DATA folder so I restore only it? Would it be this?
If so, will it work out, in relation to being a ROM different from the other?

The main rom info needed is contained in the system folder. The data folder is application data and whatnot. Reboot into twrp and use the backup option, then copy to pc. Do a full wipe of all, pit backup of data folder and new rom on internal or sd. Go into terp and flash the rom and data folder. Do not flaah system or it will overwrite the new rom. u will restore everything even if you don't have the APK installed in your system. It will return the data, you may need to reinstall the APK. Gmail for example will return will email addresses and messages, contacts and texts will come back to what they were at backup. You should back up modem and efs and boot as well and keep them safe. What I do is I get my phone set up fully, all apps I need and any games and data and then back it up again so any issues and I restore it to a fully functional state and don't need to install tons of things

Good afternoon,
I'm sorry for the text I'm using Google Translate.
I believe that I did not understand correctly, because the error happens in the following way, I install a ROM, reinstall the TWRP, yes yes it corrupts the folder DATA!
If I understood mistake, I apologize.

Is it a custom Rom or a stock rom? Also you can backup via ADB

The ROM I use is provided by Samsung, with no modifications, when I install it I use the CSC option the HOME file, in order not to lose the data, and of course, I do not lose anything I only update the ROM.
The problem is that I need to reinstall TWRP after installing ROM, and when I access TWRP it has corrupted the DATA folder.

You can extract the samsung md5 and repack it as a zip with superrs kitchen and then flash it from twrp. Just remove the recovery.img from the extracted files before zipping it up. Then you can simply flash twrp. Then the rom and not have to worry about the fact that you are stuck in a loop of being locked out because you don't need odin for the rom and it won't overwrite your recovery. If that's too much work try using a custom Rom from xda

Thank you very much for your patience. But I'm not clear, or you do not understand.
The problem is not in the ROM, but in the TWRP installation. If I install the ROM with the option CSC HOME I do not lose anything, everything is working correctly.
When I install TWRP it corrupts the DATA folder. The problem is there!

I was saying to use a zip rom because then you can reflash the rom without reflashing twrp. So you flash twrp, it says data error and then you flash rom from zip, which reinstall system and data but will not copy stock recovery over twrp. So you will not have to reinstall it and be stuck. Or try a different version of twrp might also help. Stock firmware overwrites recovery and the rom. You need to modify it to remove recovery from the firmware, or use a custom Rom to stop it from erasing twrp

I think I understood, more or less, since I translate for Google.
But assuming I want to use normal ROM, you have to back up the DATA folder before installing the ROM and after installing the new ROM and TWRP, restore only the DATA?
Thank you again.
Yes a new rom will overwrite data, you need a backup before. You should be able to connect your phone to a linux operating system and use adb to connect and back it up, if twrp will not let you take a back up.

In my case I can back up the DATA folder by TWRP. Is there doubt, if I back up the DATA folder in one version of Android and then restore in another version, will it be compatible?

Yes it will be, marshmallow and nougat are completely compatible from the boot loader up. You can also turn your stock samsung md5 into a zip file so you do not need odin to install it. You will be able to flash it from twrp

Can you not read the website?
I know what you mean. Twrp can't access the data folder because it's encrypted. But you do have to format it to gain proper access. You have to copy the files out or back them up

My OP6 has the TWRP 3.2.2 installed, with OOS 5.1.9 and Magisk. I would like to try out the new HAVOC rom, so i have done a full TWRP backup of all the partitions of the phone, and another one with only the BOOT, SYSTEM and DATA partitions.
But I have many doubts about the reliability of the TWRP restore: I read several posts related to bootloop and failures. I would like to avoid having to reinstall the whole phone from scratch.
Has anyone successfully full backed up and restored on the OP6 with TWRP? If so, which partitions did you backup?
The alternative would be to use Titanium backup, but the restore procedure would be much more complex.
I want answers about this as well. What partitions do we backup? What's the process to restore? I tried backing up everything then restoring it and i got a blank screen when I was suppose to see the boot animation.

Our TWRP is very buggy i tried to restore whole backup using twrp and it failed showing error. But somewhere i got solution in xda.
Backup only data, system and boot and restore it will work.
But for safety always keep one extra full backup of all things like efs,modem, data, system, boot, vendor. Because sometime if something goes wrong u have rescue operation always there
Since this device is super easy to unbrick if needed I personally only keep a data backup of each ROM I use on my flash drive.
So I don't need to do a full setup when flashing a different rom.
Otherwise if something crazy happens and the device gets bricked, it's fixable with a PC.

Is there a guide on how to restore a backup made in TWRP? I did this the other day forcing me to reflash the entire phone because it failed. So was just wondering about the proper way to restore backups on this phone?

It is a real pain but it works.
1. Store TWRP backup off the phone.
2. In TWRP wipe everything, then flash the same room as your backup on both slots. If using OOS, using the fastboot roms will do this easily.
3. Go through the initial setup in the OS.
4. Install TWRP (and Magisk if you were using it in the backup)
5. Restore the backup.
I know it is a headache, but the way this phone handles encryption makes it this way.

But this just sounds weird. I was on OOS 9 with TWRP and magisk. I app was misbehaving so I restored a backup I made the day before. Shouldn't that have worked? It sounds like this process would end up in the same situation. :S What about restoring only certain things, like the boot.img. Would that work?

I don't know to be honest. I did a lot of experimenting trying to port a rom (had to flash lineageos on the phone more than a few times) and would backup system, boot, and data. Then I would flash my failed rom, it would fail, and that process I wrote out earlier worked.
It is also possible that any and all Magisk modules we're causing your problem and starting with the fresh slate that the fastboot rom gives you would be important.
Also when you flashed OOS 9, if you didn't flash it twice you didn't have it on both slots, and you just restored your backup to the slot that didn't have OOS 9. The flash-all.bat in the fastboot rom will flash it to both slots.
Hello,
On Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra with TWRP 3.4.2b-0623 wzsx150, i did a full backup (all partitions) then after some moding and all on phone. decided to restore the full backup trought TWRP
the phone goes on bootloop and didnt want to start.
i already fixed the phone by flashing rom again, but i'm wondering why a TWRP full restore give a bootloop ? any help to understand to avoid this next time
thanks a lot
This is late but this happened to me before aswell. You have to flash the rom which you've done the backup on and then just restore the data partition.
Does your device keep in a frozen black screen?

If you are restoring to the same device of the backup, just restore it and then wipe data.
Reboot and it will work perfectly.

exactly what i have did, but i checked all partitions when i did the restore i think i need to uncheck some of them in order to avoid the bootloop
