Hello,
so i backup my phone before i do anything risky. so i was trying to restore my phone (from yesterday backup) using twrp. everything went perfect and when my device rebooted after restore. it stuck on Google Logo. i tried 3 times but no luck. any help? i select Boot, Data, System, System.img
EDIT: should i select vendor / vendor.img ?? while restoring it ?
UPDATE: when i tried 4th time. my phone rebooted after about 72% and stuck on google logo.

You don't backup system image, only backup system, data, and boot.

It'd be much better if you did this here, that way the solution is available for others to find, that's pretty much the entire point of the Q&A section. I'm confident it's just a case of selecting the wrong partitions to backup anyway.

The solution i used when i incorrectly updated vendor image and then tried to restore old system image and vendor image was to use Nexus Tool kit by wugs fresh to flash back to stock while keeping internal card intact. Then flash the rom you were on with correct vendor image in TWRP 3.0.0.0 and then restore your twrp backup without the vendor image etc and boom should be back to normal. At least that is what worked for me. What should you backup and restore? I back up everything and restore everything but vendor stuff. any suggestions?

That seems over-complicated. You only need to backup/restore system, data, and boot. Vendor is optional if you have Layers that you want to keep. Don't backup/restore system image or vendor image. That's the reason he got into this mess, be backed up and restored system image. I posted the solution a couple of posts back.
okay so i tried to recover Data System Boot, still didn't work. so i remove everything including twrp and installed stock rom. and then i installed twrp 3.0 and somehow it worked and my device is back on

No problem man glad it worked!!
I had the same problem.
I tried to restore a backup (MMB29Q - system+data+boot, done after installing the last factory image without root) and I got blocked on the Google logo. I tried twice without managing.
In the end I solved the problem installing supersu v2.68 zip before restarting.
It's as though the restore needs the root to work properly.
What do you think?
Thanks.
Hello everyone! I bring news from the TWRP developers from the #TWRP IRC channel! TWRP 3.0.2-1 has a fatal bug! If you backup and restore EFS it will brick you! Do not backup and restore EFS on 3.0.2-1! Use 3.0.2-0 instead! This has already been fixed in the newer builds!
If you have been bricked you NEED to Erase the EFS partitions and that will fix it immediately.
For the Nexus 6P go to TWRP. Then on PC Open Command Prompt with access to ADB ( Android Debug Bridge) and execute the following commands:
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
and
ADB Shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
This should fix it for ANY Nexus 6P users. Users on other phones with the same problem await instructions!
Ok, I messed up somewhere.
I had Nexus 6p running on MM, rooted along with xposed.
I had downloaded the beta OTA but not installed it.
I used flashfire to flash the old 6p image (the same one that was installed) and flashed system, boot, recovery, cache and vendor.
Then I updated using the downloaded OTA to N. When I did that , the phone showed me the corruption message and booted to recovery. My phone was being detected by adb in normal mode, but not by fastboot in the bootloader, somehow I was able to get it to detect and installed my older TWRP 2.8.7.2 recovery, which was able to decrypt data. After that, I sideloaded Android N via TWRP and even flashed TWRP 3.0.0.1, but it hangs whenever I try to boot to recovery, never been able to go past the TWRP bootlogo. Is there anyway I can get TWRP to work again without wiping data/userdata? I'm guessing it's all happening because of encrypted data.

Is there a reason you're messing around with Flashfire and sideloading instead of doing it the proper way via fastboot? I'd suggest taking that route now. I have instructions on flashing factory images in my guide:

I just had a phone next to me at that time, so I thought I'd be able to do it without a pc. Now I know it wasn't a good idea
So you suggest I fastboot flash everything like you've mentioned in the guide without formatting userdata and data? Also, should I flash twrp at that time as well? Do I need the modified boot mentioned in http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/stock-modified-boot-img-regular-root-t3306684

Yes, flash everything except userdata. Personally, I'd be wiping data with TWRP first though, just to make sure there's no lingering data causing problems moving forward. You can use Titanium to make a backup of your user apps first, and then restore them afterwards. No you don't need the modified boot.img.
In response to one of your initial statements though, I don't think TWRP is hanging due to not being able to decrypt. The 3.0.0-1 build has been patched so that it can decrypt.

Instead of relying on the recovery partition on the phone, you can live-boot TWRP with fastboot. This will boot into TWRP using the TWRP image on your PC, via the fastboot connection. The command is as follows:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.0-1-angler.img
Then you can flash SuperSU, make your backup with Titanium, and continue on.

sorry to bug you often, but i had no luck with live booting 3.0.0-1. I tried with 2.8.7.2 and it booted, asked to decrypt data. tried my pin/pattern as well as default_password but no luck.
the log says:
E:Unable to decrypt with default password, you may need to perform a format data.
E:unable to mount storage
E:unable to mount settings storage during GUI startup.

That's odd, I can't think of why 3.0.0-1 wouldn't boot, but 2.8.7.2 definitely won't work as it obviously can't decrypt. You might not be able to backup.
Enabling 'require pattern at startup' allowed 3.0.0-1 to boot but this time it was stuck at decrypting.

Maybe, you could try adb sideload in TWRP, but SuperSU needs to access the data partition which TWRP can't decrypt.
I tried it and it got to
**Boot image patcher**
patching sepolicy.
Failure, aborting.
i seem to have the same issues too. unable to access recovery and lost root. phone cant be detected in fastboot.
supersu 2.69 to the rescue. chainfire auto root worked with encrypted data
1)So, now the best way forward is to backup via Titanium and format data?
2) will fastboot erase data erase userdata as well?
3) after the format, will data remain decrypted or do I need to do something else?

Great news
1. Yes.
2. I don't think such a command exists. You'd need to use the "fastboot format userdata" command instead if you want to decrypt anyway. Just remember to backup all your data first.
3. You'd need to flash a custom kernel today doesn't force encryption. Otherwise your data well will automatically encrypt on the first boot after formatting.

Hello,
i need help. I messed up my phone while trying to repair my only read mode system partition after boot.
Current state:
Phone CAN-L11 with EU Firmeware and working TWRP Recovery.
I did a full wipe, but have no data partition to restore, because this couldn´t be saved with twrp while i made my first nand backups during no read access to data partition.
My phone always shows 2 times the huawei logo and then boot in erecovery from huawei where i tried to restore, but it shows always "fail to get data" (wifi works).
When i restore all partitions backups that i own via twrp i miss the data partition (is the cause why it wont boot - isn´t it?)
Now i searched for any img that i can use to get my phone working again - anyone has a tip what img i could use (i have a huawei update extractor) - through twrp or fastboot.
Could anyone help me with a twrp backup or a img file of data partition - or has another tip how to get my phone working again?
Thanks for tips!

I think that you need a system.img, so you can flash. This system imagem would write everything you need, so you can boot normally.
Have you tried to dowload @bluesmoothie backup from dropbox from the Root and Recovery post?

Here the full Backup for the CAN-L11:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B134drJ4-Ed0R3VSY3A5NGpjVWc
Format /data, reboot recovery and than restore from backup. After the restore is complete make a wipe.
I restored my system from twrp (original first save). But that did not help.
After that i loaded the can-L11c432 update.zip from huawei and extracted with others the system.img - that also did not help to boot.
Tomorrow i flashed the orignal recovery.img from c432 but i did not find an update.zip wich works to manually flash in stock recovery.
@Vinnom the link you shared leads to twrp.img (no system.img).

@merlin21 yes it sounds like my problem after I tried to flash the emui5 beta.
My phone is fully working again with the backup I posted.
This is not the Chinese version, if nothing works, you can try the caz ROM. But there are massive problems with the gapps, they are not included in the rom.

what could that be?
IT WORKS! Thanks @murph... I had to use the cust from my backup, but with your data partition it successfully booted again. Locking forward if i now have still the problem with read only system partition. I am away setting up phone again (and of course rooting, modifying etc.. but FIRST do a full backup after basic setup and safe in PC !!!)
Thanks!
P.S. how did you manage to back up data partition in recovery? I thought this wouldn't be possible?! What is the cost for having this full working twrp?
PPS. Somehow knock on screen for screenshot does not work - could be, that i have to log in with huawei id... does it work for you morp?

I copied the backup, which is linked somewhere in this thread, to my sdcard and restored it on my Nova using twrp. The extractfork issue showed up while restoring '/cust' so i disselected cust in the restoring menu. After that the restoring worked and my nova was able to boot.
Hope this is any help to you.

That didn't do the trick for a while, or I might have forgotten a step, but deselecting CUST did the trick.
Thanks for the tip!
Although, maybe flashing the Cust partition I found in one of the two upgrade zips via fastboot might have helped? I dunno...
But in short, for those who haven't followed through, here's what I did, but I'm not sure this is why it worked:
1. Bricked my device : be sad;
2. DLed all the posted Nandroid backup on this thread and others;
3. With fastboot, reflashed TWRP from Xelfmade using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img";
4. Flashed the CUST.img I found in the UPDATE.APP of the update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip; or maybe the other, only one of the two seem to have it; I extracted it using Huawei Firmware Extractor; using "fastboot flash cust cust.img";
5. Created a "fake" backup to create the right folder structure on my SD (TWRP Couldn't see the backups) and put the Nandroid Backups I DLed earlier in it;
6. Reboot in TWRP and Restore all partitions except CUST;
7. Reboot, sweat, wait, cry, roll on the floor in fear, heard the huawei startup sound, cried as if it was my first born child;
8. Setup the fone and profit; then enjoy Nova goodness;
92.324. and probably most important, TWRP BAAAACKUUUUP!!!!!
All done!

Frankly, I don't know. I had not modified the partitions prior to bricking my phone, so I think the partitioning was OK. However, I think one of the TWRP availble in this forum can format Data partition properly, which would utlimately allow you to select which File Format you want. I haven't tried it myself, and I haven't been able to do much with TWRP since I flashed Lineage unfortunately. Most of my Mods were just upgrading and I had to ADB Sideload pretty much everything since I flashed Lineage...
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that!
Dear all
My Nexus 6p was hard bricked yesterday and keep bootloop. I did flash twrp and a stock image by adb but the phone still could not turn on.
I try to use the hair dryer to heat my phone like this way (youtube.com/watch?v=fVghgGWoWa4) (sorry that I am a new user and I cant post the link)
And then my phone can be booted into the system but all of my data lost since I did flash the stock rom.
So may I ask that is there any way for me to recover back my data in this case? ( especially app data and my photo since there are some extremely important data for me......)
Thanks so much and appreciate for your help!!!

Hello,
How did you flash a stock ROM with ADB? adb sideload? Full OTA? Shouldn't have wiped internal storage.
Or you flashed a factory image from bootloader with flash-all script? Or fastboot flash?
If you used flash-all or you fastboot flashed userdata.img, i think your datas are lost.
Good luck...

Ys i did flash it from bootloader with flash-all script......:crying::crying::crying:
Now my data are all wiped out and the system is clean.
So is there any way to recover my data back? Because the data is really important for me:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Hello,
You should likely have thought about it before flashing a factory image...
Maybe there are professional forensic tools that could work. But unfortunately i don't know their names or where to find them.
Good luck...

I flashed the image because i thought there is no any other way to boot my phone....
I have never thought that I can save it with a hair dryer I brought my phone to the mobile fixing shop and they did say the phone could not be fixed therefore i just flashed the image and try.
Thanks anyway
If there are any way to save the data, please let me know!!

Looks like fail to flash a ROM because forgot to unlocked bootloader or wipe data in recovery mode, while the ROM you flashed is a stock one, no a custom one. If you have unlocked bootloader, you can see a lock appear in the boot screen.
You can go to the recovery mode and try to fix your brick phone by wipe data and cache partition, maybe you can boot you phone successfully after doing these.
You data is not really gone, in fact, you can recover the data by using some tool.
See this guide about how to fix bricked Nexus 6P and recover data from the bricked phone after flashing a ROM.

Hey,
This tool seems designed for a phone that bootloop. Not a device which userdata partition has been wiped and overwritten afaik...
Cheers...
I know it's too late.
I normally edit the flash_all to *NOT* wipe the phone and only do an update.
You can have your photos if Google sync is on, but your App data is gone.
Yeah the flash-all script includes a -w wipe command. You could of removed it before flashing to keep data. But after that it's bye bye baby. The only way is probably some type of software forensics tool. But keep searching cause I don't everything and maybe you can tell the FBI there info on it about terrorist and they can brute force in. Then you got your pics back.
I have installed FreedomOS on my OnePlus 5. I'm not sure if this is related to FreedomOS, but when I try to make a backup in TWRP with data, system, and boot, it has an error with createTarFork() shortly after it gets to backing up data. It also says 'read only filesystem' when I try to open Terminal from Advanced and run 'cd /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/bad7d639 && rm -rf backup-name'. What can I do to fix this and why is this happening?
EDIT: I have 32GB storage left
I had error 255 when restoring the data partition on my elephone p9000, for me it was because it was a bad data write and it was corrupt.

Something in the partition, so I didn't restore that

Hi guy, i had the problem, try to flash blue spark recovery and retry restore, if rom bootloops, try to dirty flash your rom
I just wiped and reinstalled OxygenOS http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_4.5.10/. Once I reconfigure all my settings, files, etc, I'm going to see if it works.

I can't restore; I deleted all my backups in an attempt to free up space.
I think I found the solution!
1. Go to Wipe in TWRP, swipe to factory reset
2. Download:
OnePlus Recovery: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/OP5_recovery.img
OxygenOS: http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amaz...3_OTA_015_all_1708252353_e6d7756780064352.zip
3. Rename recovery image as recovery.img, boot phone into fastboot, plug into computer, run these commands on the computer:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot boot recovery.img
4. Open recovery on phone
5. Select Forgot Password, will wipe all leftover files in SD Card.
6. Boot back into recovery, select reload, select Install over ADB or Install Over USB or something similar and plug phone into computer.
7. Run 'adb sideload oxygen-os-filename' without quotes on computer.
8. Let it install OxygenOS, it may appear to be frozen at some points; it probobaly isn't, so don't shut it off or unplus USB.
9. Download Bluspark TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=26601&task=get
9. Reboot into fastboot, plug into computer and run these commands on the computer:
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery bluspark-twrp-filename-location.img
fastboot boot bluspark-twrp-filename-location.img
10. Success (hopefully)
Oh. Wait. Now it has the same error when I try to make a backup. (I feel like it might be from installing https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/kali-nethunter-magisk-t3676681, but they say it's unrelated). Doors anyone know why this is happening again?
the solution to this was to boot to your previous rom that u have made nandroid backup with and then setting up the same password/pin in settings > security. When you then boot into twrp it will ask you for the pin/password to decrypt your data partition and then you can flash the nandroid backup(you have to have the same password there). here it is obvious that you are trying to flash data partition that uses different encryption password (in case of stock rom there is non) and this obviously wont happen.
maybe another solution would be to connect externally usb and unmounting data partition and then restoring from usb...
I'm having the exact same issue, but trying to create a Nandroid, not restoring one. Happened on Codeworkx TWRP 20180414. I always remove my passwords, fingerprint, pattern, and face data before I backup, update, etc. since I'm encrypted to avoid issues, and it still happened. I flashed the latest blu_spark TWRP and got the exact same error in the same spot in the data partition backup.
Never had an issue like this before. I even tried saving the data partition separately and still got the same error. Very strange indeed.
All other partitions backup without issue.
I'm on xXx v10.5 w/ ElementalX v3.04, Encrypted
If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much!

For me flashing normal oxygenos with magisk 16 and formatting data and trying to make it boot with the new flash and then rebooting into recovery and restoring made it work. I guess it has to do with the right filesystem having to be made first.
hi guys,
i've read all the thread in XDA related to ERROR 255, can't find anything to solve my problem trying to backup on TWRP ending with this error 255.?
I'm not using any parallel apps, not using Apps Locker, don't have any folder 999 (searched using Root Browser).
I've tried deleting all fingerprint, face unlock and screenlock as well.
No joy.
I'm using latest TWRP 3.2.2-1, OOS 5.1.7, Rooted.
Appreciate any help or sharing experience.
