TWRP Backups always get stuck in bootloop

I have a problem restoring my backups. All my recent TWRP backups get stuck in bootloop when I try to restore them. Is there any remedy fopr that?
I'm currently on v 2.7.1.0

Upgrade your version of TWRP. Current on twrp.me is 2.8.7.0, but in the forums here you can find version 2.8.7.2 by @AntaresOne, with F2FS support.

I created the .tar file to flash TWRP 2.8.7.0 for the GT-I9505 via ODIN. Download it: HERE.

Thanks guys!
Will I be able to use my old backups with the new version?

Yes. If you still have issues, the backups are likely corrupt, for reasons unknown.

Boot Partition Hidden in TWRP

My rooted Axon 7 (A2017U) does not show the boot partition in TWRP when backing up or restoring a backup that previously showed the boot partition. Here is what I did prior to the problem:
1. Manually updated stock rom to B32 using DrakenFX procedures, which includes flashing bootstack. (I made a backup after the upgrade of boot, data, and system - as usual.)
2. When I restored AICP nandroid, boot was shown along with data and system. Phone operated normally, but would not flash OTA upgrade - error 7. (Attempted to flash a previous version that I had flashed before with the same error 7.)
3. Rather than unzipping the rom and deleting the asserts line, I flashed the universal boot image from LineageOS and was able to OTA without issue, but when I ran the TWRP backup, boot did not show and only system and data backed up.
4. Restored the stock nandroid, boot did not show.
My phone is operating normally, but I find it disconcerting to have made an unintended change and would appreciate any help in correcting my error.
Thanks in advance.

Hi have you fixed your problem or not?

No, still waiting for assistance.

Reflash TWRP. I had partitions missing and there was a weird version of TWRP installed for unknown reasons. Reflashing the latest TWRP fixed my problem.

That worked. Thank you very much. Weird how that happened.

Just as a matter of interest, I just did a clean install of AICP, which required installation of universal bootstack, and found that TWRP version had been replaced with an old version that did not show boot partition when doing nandroid. Reflashed current build image and boot file was visible.

Keep the latest .img on TWRP, and when you flash the universal bootstack, flash the TWRP .img after. I've asked over at the LOS thread if they could update the TWRP version on the bootstack and nobody answered lol

Should we use the one from twrps official website? I'm having the same issue but I can't remember changing my recovery.

You don't change your recovery, the universal bootstack zip does
It's the same whether you use the zip from TWRP's official website or raystef66's download center really

TWRP 3.1.1 on oxygenos2

Hi i was about to update my phone and setting it to factory in order to update it to Oxygenos last version since i still using oxygen2 (andoid 5) etc...
I was about to do a twrp backup however i do no thave enought space so i've read on internet that with twrp 3.1+ you can backup directly on pc. I've tryed to update twrp however its not working and not starting the recovery partition. I've read that : (3.0.2-1 and above for OxygenOS 3.x and above) (3.0.2-0 and below for OxygenOS 2.x and below) however i need the updated version to backup directly on pc what can i do? some advice? i've looked for a modified version of twrp 3.1 for oxygenos2 but i did not find it :S

Before you do this, update TWRP via these instructions
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/oneplus2/install
skip down to this line "Installing a custom recovery using fastboot" as you do not need to unlock the bootloader as it is already unlocked since you have TWRP already.
Do not make a TWRP backup, It will not be of any use once you move to OxygenOS 3.6.1 since the backup will be of Nouget (android 5). The best way to upgrade would be to follow the steps here http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-2/oneplus_2_oxygenos_3.6.1/
Once you get to step 4, click the "View Instructions for TWRP Recovery" link then you can either dirty flash or clean flash the zip. I would recommend clean flashing, as in do the factory reset as mentioned in the second paragraph under step 4. However, do not directly flash the rom afterward, use the reboot option in TWRP to reboot into recovery then flash the zip.
NOTE: If you want to use Magisk to pass SafetyNet and have root, download the Magisk zip and flash after flashing the rom, or queue it to it flashes right after the OOS rom.
afterward let the phone boot up then do the setup. Once you have completed setup, enable developer settings and enable advanced reboot. use reboot into recovery to boot into TWRP
Now go ahead and make a TWRP Backup, This backup will be your Go-To backup if you want to go back to factory OOS 3.6.1 with the setup completed and Magisk already installed.

Not able to backup
The problem is that the last version of TWRP working on oxygenos2 is 3.0.2-1 and you can not make the backup directly on computer, i've traied toupdate twrp and it does not lounch however with that version of twrp (3.0.2) or before it works that was the point if there was any modified twrp for oxygenos2 and with twrp version 3.1 or higher.

TWRP v3.x.x doesn't work with oxygen 2.
There's no way to boot TWRP v3 without installing oxygen 3.
If you need to backup your files (pictures, videos, WhatsApp messages etc.) you don't need TWRP because it backups only your system and your apps.
So simply attach your phone to your PC and copy all your files.
If you need a copy of your system then you need to free some space on your phone and do a backup with TWRP v2

I commented what I would do: install with odin the last twrp with which allas made a backup and have it yet, install it and you put the backup, and if not install with odin a twrp 3.2.1 de vince and install one of your rom, I recommend RR6xx

Need a backup ROM file for Note 3 N-9005

Hi, I was trying to flash a custom ROM via TWRP but failed and now it's showing no OS installed as I wiped everything. I also don't have a backup ROM to restore. I tried Odin but it doesn't detect my phone. So I need a backup ROM file of any N-9005 to restore it from TWRP.
Please help me.

What's your TWRP version?
Since Odin is not working for you, download this recovery image of TWRP 3.3.1-0:
https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-3.3.1-0-hlte.img.html
Now copy it to your phone, extsdcard, or via OTG.
Go to Install, Locate recovery image you copied, min right, tap "Image", the file will show up, tap on it, select "Recovery", and complete the process.
Now reboot recovery.
Download any ROM you want (without aroma built-in), try havoc os:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...c-OS-v2.9-20191108-hlte-Official.zip/download
Copy and flash it normally.

Download 3.3.1-0 mentioned up there, copy to your phone, and flash the image to recovery partition.
It should upgrade when you reboot recovery again.
Then you can flash AOSP ROMs without a problem.
