Boot to TWRP.
Install SR3 and V3 signer. Did not install TWRP.
Updated to 2.82 via the playstore.
All is well, no problems at all.

Updated my XL and wife's regular Pixel using "N" OTA via TWRP RC2. Temp booted TWRP RC1 and permanent installed RC2, installed SU 2.82 via the install file (not installing 2.79 and letting Play Store update), signed with V8 and rebooted. Everything worked flawlessly this month.
im stock 7.1.2 rooted on may. if i take the ota right now will my device boot? i will just lose root and twrp correct?

You will probably fail the ota rooted.
Adb sideload it, or FlashFire app. Or flash-all bat file with the -w removed.
Adb or FlashFire should save root and twrp.
Anyone know of any differences between the int'l and Verizon builds? Radio I presume?

Yes, that's correct if it'll actually install that way. I think being rooted will block it. There's other ways to update. I like the flash-all (minus the -w) method. Others like the sideload method.

Wonder if this will fix the Bluetooth issues some people have with drops and quirky performance.
"Qualcomm has patched a slew of device drivers for the Snapdragon platform. Most were of moderate severity but a Bluetooth-specific update is a critical patch."

Open the flashaal.bat with a text editor and scroll over until you see the -w. Delete that and save the file. All set.

Do I have to extract it first? I edit the flash-based blue notepad ? right? I can't edit it or change it without extracting it right?

I updated with FlashFire and the OTA without issue. I read that the latest SuperSU 2.82 does not sign the boot image, so I just put the verified boot signer zip to be installed by FlashFire after the step where the phone was rooted again, and that worked.

Has anyone tried the 3minit battery mod systemui from the May update on this June update to see if it works?
Since this is one of the few releases with a specific T-Mobile build, I wonder if this fixed 3x CA on T-Mobile (Or perhaps, Enabled it). Any with T-Mobile want to give it a try and report back?

I've got the same error with different folders:
'/data/user/999'
'/data/misc_ce/999'
'/data/system_ce/999'
if they are unnecessary files I could delete them and try again.
does anyone know if these 999 folders are important?
also in my twrp the listed folders above look kind of encrypted (had some struggle with the oos5 update before), but in my file explorer they look decrypted.
are there some ideas what I should do?

In my case i made a parallel app (facebook). So the backup failed every time. I killed the app and there is a folder called "999" in the internal storage. Delete it and the backup will work.

you need to turn off parallel apps, then go into a root explorer and delete
data/system/999
data/system_ce/999
data/misc/999
data/misc_ce/999
data/user/999
data/user_ce/999
This will allow you to do a backup, but you'll get "extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255' when trying to restore. So it feels kind useless, unless someone can figure this out.

You need to delete those folders even before restoring a nandroid backup. At least worked for me

So, using 8.61 blue sparks twrp i made full backup of my partitions and got '' extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255 '' when i was trying to restore backup. Any idea, how can i restore my backup now?

From twrp go to advanced then filmanager. U have to delete all those 999 folders then u can restore
There is no such folders at /data folder, only media and lost+found

looks like it's an error with parallel apps oder multiple users. since i do not use something like that, i just removed this user with the android terminal emulator:
su
pm remove-user 999
everything was fine after that

Thank you very much. Worked like a charm. Thanks a bunch.
And i second that the culprit here is folder 999 of parallel apps as i found facebook data from second account in this folder like profile pics etc.

Worked for me on 8.0! Thanks!
OnePlus5T:/ $ su
OnePlus5T:/ # pm remove-user 999
Error: couldn't remove user id 999

I've tried removing all 999 folders prior to backup, but it still fails. I'm rooted on 5.0.4. with magisk.
Anyone?

For me, this solved.

I could resolve my nandroid /data backup error on my EMUI 8.0 device with those following steps:
1 - Use a correct TWRP implementation
TWRP need to access the uncyphered partition /data.
There no possibility to backup it, if TWRP does not implement deciphering user data partition.
2 - Remove all users except user 0 (the administrator)
You can verify that there is no unwanted users, looking at directory /data/user : the only subdirectory should be "0".
To remove the others users :
Remove the PrivateSpace if you have one (Settings > Security & Privacy > PrivateSpace, and tap on the garbage can).
Remove all the secondary users (Settings > Users & accounts > users, and tap on each users to delete them). Keep just the main administrator user.
On EMUI, remove all twins applications (Settings > Apps & Notifications > App Twin, and disable all twin apps).
On OxygenOS, remove all parallel apps (Settings > Apps > Parallel Apps, and disable all parallel apps).
On MIUI, remove all dual apps (Settings > Dual Apps, and disable all dual apps)
On others devices ... you must find all parameters that create those unwanted users.
If you are not able to get the correct settings to suppress those users, in last resort you can try this command : "pm remove-user user-no. (For example "pm remove-user 999").
3 - Do not forget to protect your backups by a password
This would be stupid to cipher your /data partition and keep backups of this partition unprotected.
These steps fixed the nandroid backup problem for /data partition on my Huawei device.
I post on this forum because I hope that this will be helpful for others devices owners.

Thanks a lot for this! Helped me with OOS 9.5.4 on OnePlus 7 Pro.
