Hi there, Thaught, I was on the save side for 2 years, having my TWRP, made a backup after every change on the 12+, now I had to recover it...
Steady installed TWRP 3.3.1.0 on 1.68.401.6 does a restore without errors, restart ends with bootloop.
So I flashed new with 1.53.401.5, tried to fastboot boot twrp.3.2.3.3 and restore my backup -> bootloop
Flashed 1.53.401.5 again, made a backup of that fresh system with booted TWRP, to test that restore, brings the same bootloop.
Have to say, the twrp versions are the right ones for the used SW versions. Decryption is working.
Where is the blind spot in my brain??
Please delete my ask here, I'll try my luck in TWRP thread. Still my problem.

A little while ago I installed a corrupted boot animation that caused a boot loop. Then I restored the CWM backup and it was able to restore the system but not the data.
Now since I am planning to flash a custom ROM I deleted the old nandroid backup and went on to do a new backup. But CWM was able to back up only the system and not the data saying that data folder is missing though I checked using ES and data folder is there. I had made a backup before and this problem wasn't there.
Any solutions or will re flashing the recovery help it?
I am using CWM touch by Phil.
you are using the latest version of Philz Touch recovery?
I was the same in an older version, or if you try to switch to another as TWRP recovery by TeamMex (the last version before)
So I made a Nandriod backup, installed a new rom. I didn't like it so I restored my Nandroid backup. But instead of rebooting, I installed a new update of the rom which I restored through the Nandroid backup. Due to this I could boot into my rom but I didn't have a cell signal. I also couldn't boot into my recovery(tried flashing boot.img of latest recovery through Flashify but that didn't work either). It directly booted into my rom. Phone didn't have any problem booting into the fastboot mode. Anyways, I then connected the phone to my computer, booted it into recovery with terminal, restored my Nandroid+EFS backup and now have a fully functioning phone.
I want to understand what I did wrong here so that this doesn't happen again. How did my IMEI get corrupted? Was it because I restored my nandroid backup and installed a new version of the same rom without rebooting? Or was it something else?
Hi all,
A couple of days ago I flashed the OTA image for 8.1. Realising I don't have root and not finding a way to root 8.1 yet, I figured, hey, I'll go back to 8.0. Luckily I did a full backup using TWRP before upgrading.
TWRP 3.1.1 was unable to decrypt the filesystem and therefore restore anything (which I've read is a known issue). Neither could 3.2.1, and 3.2.1 couldn't see the OTG drive I have the backup on, either.
At this point I'd already wrecked the OS by trying to restore without first decrypting the filesystem (figured it'd just overwrite it so who cares). So I flashed the latest 8.0 factory image, started it up to make sure it boots, went back into TWRP and restored the full backup from the OTG drive.
This succeeds - but when rebooting all I get is the initial Google logo. Nothing else. No loop, no progress meter, nothing.
Am I missing a step? Anyone?

Had you ever tried restoring the backup before to verify it was stable? Perhaps there was some corruption in the backup file?
Well, it is able to restore the whole thing without an error. I think that counts as verifying that it's not corrupt...
I'm facing the same exact issue. I've got several previous backups of my Pixel, all of 8.1, and if I try restoring any partition except /data they restore successfully and boot as a fresh phone.
Now of course I need my data, but when I try to restore any of my previously backed up /data partitions, they either freeze during restoration or restore successfully. However if they do restore successfully, my phone won't boot anymore. After showing the Google logo, then animated G, it reboots back to recovery.
I tried most things as of now but to no avail. This really sucks!
Can anybody help?
My HTC U11 still run on Nougat.
Yesterday I want to update with the newer version of Nougat (Not Oreo)
I already make a data backup with TWRP, big backup 22Gb.
Then I update the new stock Rom from PC, it had no problem.
Go to download mode, and then install TWRP again with ADB from PC.
Go to TWRP Recovery, it still works.
The last thing I do is to try to restore the 22Gb data back to my phone.
And it always get error on 9% with "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"
I already change with difference TWRP from 3.1.1.0 to 3.2.3.0, still the same.
Restore to previous version of Nougat with TWRP (system, system image, boot image, recovery). Try to restore backup data again with no luck.
Try to check MD5 with the backup data, and it said matched, no corrupt.
Already try searching in the web, but with no solution too.
Do anyone ever have the same problem and solved it?
Not me here, but you can try RUU manually flash Oreo
Tried to clean flash unlocked and rooted OP6 from OOS 9.05 to 10.3 and got stuck in "bootloader unlocked" (only later learned that I should have gone via 9.09 to 10). Tried to restore Nandroid, but this did not work either and even lost the recovery.
Now I can go to recovery only via "fastboot boot" and only using twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img (none of the other recoveries I tried will boot). I tried to restore the backup (with and without reflashing twrp-3.3.1-18-Q zip afterwards) but never manage to boot back to system (maybe because the restore is 9.05 and the above TWRP is OOS10; it starts up with the ASOP10 log ?)
Is there a way to restore 9.05 with the nandroid without wiping the user data ?
(like flashing the nandroid twice on slot A and B and flashing the correct TWRP and/or Magisk afterwards) ?

Problem solved!
I followed this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78915106&postcount=2
(reflash same ROM and Magisk versions as those originally installed, then restore nandroid backup).
3 things to note which were not obvious to me:
- Unzipp ALL files into one single folder (same ROMs have zips within zips)
- use the "flash-all-partitions-fastboot.bat" file,
- answer NO to the first question "Wipe all data (recommended)". If not, the internal data (data/media) will be wiped as well, including your nandroid backup and other info (music, photo..). If you have to wipe, make sure the backup is on the PC
