Hi guys, Im having a little trouble, hoping somebody could tell me what Im missing or should be doing differently. I am currently on 2.2 OTA. i just rooted using RoOoLeR's Guide to ROOT / BACKUP / ROMS for 2.2 OTA (sticky under hacks). I then downloaded Bootstrap. Opened the app and hit "bootstrap recovery", got the pop-up saying "Success". Then i rebooted into recovery and started a nandroid backup. about a minute into it, it failed and gave me the following message.
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(Device or resource busy)
Can't mount /sdcard/.android_secure!
I have yet to install rom manager and load any custom roms beacuse i want to make sure i have a good backup before doing anything.
Suggestions? Thank you so much in advance.

It sounds like you have an issue with the SD card. I would backup the data on the card to a PC, format it blank, and the let the X reinitialize it.
Hello!
I'm trying to find out where to see a list of parameters I can use in there.
I'm using the ClockworkMod recovery (even if I think it's just universal that part), but if I write in that cache file "boot-recovery --nandroid" nothing happens when I reboot into recovery, if I set just "--nandroid" it says "E: invalid arguments"...
What I want to achieve is to execute a nandroid backup and then one or more update zip files. Is it possible?
Thanks!
no one has any idea?
Hiya XDA, So i'm trying to back up my phone (Running CM13) to my memory stick, and it worked before, but now it seems to have broken and I don't know what the issue is. My log (adb pull /tmp/recovery.log) is below

Looks as though your memory stick isn't formatted correctly. Try Fat32 or possibly EXT4
It is Fat32?

I don't have access to a Linux machine, but I could format it in my phone?
I'll try that. and will post any updates.
UPDATE:
Formatted it in Android, still same error
UPDATE 2:
Tried a different USB stick, same error.
The USB sticks I am using are:
amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Orbit-Drive-SDCZ58-032G-B35/dp/B00BPHTH4C
and
amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-Flair-Performance-SDCZ73-064G-G46/dp/B015CH1NAQ/
Remove /system/addon-d in twrp ?
Will my phone work properly after doing that?
UPDATE:
Renamed it to addon-dee in my prefered Filemanager (ES) and it's backing up now.
(thank god I decided to use a USB3 stick this time)
UPDATE 2:
Phone backed up and now is working fine! thanks.
I was having the same error until I updated TWRP to the unofficial 3.0.2-3
I have this problem and l have 17g free space in my internal storage but receive error 255 and i don't find addon in my storage plz help me for fixing this error

Should be under /system/ . Are you rooted? I don't know if you can see that part of system if you're not rooted.
My device is rooted but this file isn't there.

It's not always the same file. Look at your log to see which file/dir is problematic.
SOLVED createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255
SOLUTION
This solution worked on my Zenfone 3, running lineage Android 7.1.2.
I tried many other things, like flashing different versions of TWRP, deleting the recovery directory, renaming files and all the like.
You may deselect compression, change the TWRP-date / time : nothing works !
You need an PC / Notebook with adb installed.
- start your phone in recovery-mode (TWRP)
- connect to PC and get the recovery.log with following adb command
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
You will find a copy of the file recovery.log in the directory, from which you started the command
- open an editor or choose your favourite file viewer to open recover.log
- search for the last entry of the word "Error"
- in the line before that, the recovery.log states the name of the file that causes the problem
(in my case it was /system/addon.d)
- disconnect phone from PC.
- restart your phone in "normal" restart (do NOT boot to recovery mode)
- use a root file browser (I used ES-explorer with root enabled) and navigate to that directory/file
- delete the file (which I did not do - I tried some other steps)
- restart phone
This took 3-4 minutes, but I did not delete the file addon.d right away. Instead, I did this:
step 1
navigated to /system/addon.d and copied addon.d to SD-card
step 2
in /system/ , I renamed addon.d "addon_BU.d".
This was successful. In /system/ , the only file visible was now "addon_BU.d"
step 3
tried to create a directory named addon.d inside /system/ because my recovery.log said quote\ ... system/addon.d (not a directory) ... \unquote
FAILED. The directory could not be created by ES-explorer
step 4
copied my backup file addon.d from SD-card back into its original location /system/.
This, I though, would work just fine, because I had renamed the original addon.d to addon_BU.d.
So after restoring addon.d , the only thing left to do would be delte addon_BU.d.
ES-explorer reported no error, but - surprise - there was no file "addon.d" present in /system/
The only file still there was "addon_BU.d"
well, let's go to
step 5
rename addon_BU.d back to it's original name "addon.d" using ES-explorer
FAILED.
addon_BU.d could not be renamed - this file really was screwed up big time !!!
I ended up with no addon.d - so I could have deleted it right away istead of starting my trial with step 1 ...
step 6
Anyway. Shut dowm my phone.
Rebooted my phone normally (not to recovery mode !!!)
This took considerably longer than normal - my heart rate had began to increase slightly if not to say I began to feel like a squirrel on red bull...
After roughly 3 minutes, I had a successful reboot to my OS (lineage Android 7.1.2)
step 7
Reboot again, this time to recovery mode (=TWRP)
and: backups work again.
Don't ask me why this worked and if it will work for you, but hey, give it a triy and let me know...

Hi, thank you for a fix but this is an 10 month old thread. The issue was with TWRP 3.0.2-2. Along with an EFS issue that plagued TWRP 3.0.1-2, both issues have long since been resolved.

simple and working solution :
by @yannick818
"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"
I could resolve my nandroid /data backup error on my EMUI 8.0 Mediapad M5 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 Mediapad M5 device.
I post on this forum because I hope that this will be helpful for others devices owners.
Hi. I have a Moto G6 Plus (evert) phone and I currently have LineageOS 17.1-20201117 installed on it. Everything works perfectly, however, there are some updates that I'd like to install. I'm not sure whether this will remove/corrupt Magisk (or break something else), so I wanted to back up all partitions using TWRP (3.5.1) just to be on the safe side. When I first booted into TWRP, I noticed that it didn't ask for a password, which it did before I had LineageOS on my phone. But now, nothing. If I attempt to do a backup, I get an error: createtarfork() process ended with error 255. I did some googling and apparently, this could be caused because TWRP can't read some partitions. I tried an older version of TWRP (3.4), but that didn't help.
Here's the recovery.log created while trying to back up:
I:Error adding file '/data/vendor/MFYxVGEouF4EC,7Sj90vJA/JjO3E2T3tbuQVW,frUXMWA' to '/external_sd/TWRP/BACKUPS/ZY322V6SQC/2021-03-13--16-49-49_lineage_evert-userdebug_10_QQ3A200805001_e3/data.ext4.win000'

createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 Backup Failed. Cleaning Backup Folder.
Looks like TWRP failed to back up /data/vendor/MFYxVGEouF4EC,7Sj90vJA/JjO3E2T3tbuQVW,frUXMWA. The name looks weird. I booted back into the system and opened Total Commander, navigated to /data/vendor/, and the directory looked "normal" with "normal" subdirectories and everything. So it seems like TWRP is not decrypting the data partition.
I can also see some other errors above this one.
I:Setting up '/data' as data/media emulated storage.
I:mount -o bind '/data/media' '/sdcard' process ended with RC=0
I:mount -o bind '/data/media/0' '/sdcard' process ended with RC=0 libc: Unable to set property "ro.crypto.state" to "encrypted": error code: 0xb libc: Unable to set property "ro.crypto.type" to "file": error code: 0xb
However, I'm not sure what this means exactly.
Here's the full log: https://pastebin.com/z8cQWQ21
I'm still kinda confused about TWRP not asking for a password. Before I had LineageOS (I was using the stock ROM with encryption enabled) TWRP was asking for a password. I also tried removing the password, but the backup failed anyway (same error). Most likely because encryption is still enabled regardless of whether there's a password/PIN/pattern set up.

Your current ROM uses File-based Encryption (FBE) and apparently your TWRP build does not support this. Are you using an official TWRP build? Have you seen if in the TWRP thread for your device there are other users with the same problem?
Hi,
I am trying to install the latest Lineage version on my Samsung Nexus 10 via twrp, but so far it always immediately fails with
Error E1001: Failed to update system image.
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/lineage-17.1-20220318-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip'
I tried wiping the entire system, cache and all and I tried both the adb push method and sideloading adb and they all produce the exact same error.
This is my first time doing this type of thing, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I am currently running Windows 10, but could boot into a Linux Live Medium if that would be useful.
Edit: I was following this tutorial for the setup.
I'm facing exactly the same issue here with the installation of `lineage-17.1-20220919-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip` file.
I'm currently on the latest original Google Android ROM flashed with `image-mantaray-lmy49j.zip` and want to update the system to the lineage OS as above.
I'm using TWRP v3.6.2_9.
What I did:
- uploaded `lineage-17.1-20220919-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip` to `/sdcard` location;
- wiped out `dalvik-cache` and `cache` partitions;
- tried to install `lineage-17.1-20220919-UNOFFICIAL-manta.zip` as a single installation file;
Got this error. Here is an output from recovery.log:

I'd the same problem with twrp but does did successfully for version 16 installation. I tried the above listed way but failed again. Same thing happened even I unchecked the system in twrp before flashing again. Need expert to help fix the issue. Appreciate in advanced!

Not enough space on /system. Resize the partition. After 17.1 is running for me. https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-32750.html
Thanks a lot Daniel! I will try your way.
