So somehow i am now stuck at the LG logo screen. No idea how and I've tried everything. Is it possible to restore my phone from someone else's twrp backup? If so would someone be so kind as to upload it? Thanks!
The last I had read TWRP was not giving reliable nandroid backups. Flashfire seems to be the way to go with that.
I think backups are tied to the phone. That, and I don't think anyone would be willing to give a stranger his phone backup with personal information on it.
Flashfire is the only working method to restore roms. TWRP does not work fully.

Since we can fastboot into CWM and make a back up, are we able to restore that backup with CWM with no issue. Has anyone acutally done this successfully and not had any major problems?
I just made a backup with CWM and would like to be able to restore it just in case I screw some thing while I am messing with the sytem.
I've been able to Backup/Restore with no problems. It works just the same as it does on any other model.
Yep i backed up and restored without issues.

Thanks guys, I know before with some other devices I was able to flash and backup up but beucase CWM wasn't completely ported for that device the actual restoring process was corrupted, so I didnt not want to find out the hard way. Good to know I can screw up and restore back to normal.
Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M)
Android:5.0.1
Rooted
cwm custom recovery touch version.
When I do a Nandroid backup it seems to do successfully but I see errors in the log file.
And when I restore using the same backup after it finishes restore process, all the services stop working (example: google.app ....)
I attach screenshots and log file for backup process.
Please explain why this is happening and how to fix it.
Thanks
Sam

As lennyz & Reaper suggested I switched to twrp, both backup and restore are working smoothly.
Thanks for help.
CWM isn't updated anymore. So you should either swith to TWRP or Philz (thought Philz isn't updated anymore either but it still works).
Maybe that could fix it. Also make sure you have plenty of space left when you make a nandroid. Something like 5gb when you are on TW rom.
Use PhilZ, as it is based on CMW, so it should work with your backups. If you don't care about the backups anymore then go with TWRP. Haven't had any problems with TWRP so far.
Hi there!
I just came out of a bootloop due to trying hard to get encryption working on my rooted Edge+.
I had a backup I did through Phillz Custom Recovery.
But to my surprise, the backup didin´t save my files. Although the phone was successfully restored, my files (photos, videos, ringtones etc) were missing.
So my question is: what is the best approach to backup (and quickly restore if needed) a rooted Edge+ with arter97´s kernel e Phillz custom recovery?
I think it´s possible to backup through adb... but is it possible to restore from adb directly through the custom recovery?
Imho, a perfect backup solution would backup the phone directly to my PC (so no space would be used on the phone) and it would be possible to restore to the phone from the PC as well.
What about Titanium Backup? Would it enable me to backup the entire phone and restore it easily in the future?
If there are any guides around that work with the Edge+, I couldn´t find searching... I did find information about backing up through ADB, but none of them were sure about what gets restored. In fact, I have found conflicting info (people saying that things were backed up but couldn't restore some apps).
Any opinions, ideas, suggestions? What would be the best approach?
Thanks in advance!
Hi guys
Does anyone have a TWRP A2017G backup their willing to share?
I've lost IMEI and MEID and am trying to recover
Seconded. I seem to be in the same situation. Don't know if a TWRP backup will help, but I've been unable to connect to the cellular network after restoring a full TWRP backup which I suppose I shouldnt've restored. Re-entering my IMEI via a TWRP module didn't help as well. Neither does the adb shell dd command that formats the EFS partition found in another thread... Restoring EFS I backed up a while ago didn't help me as well.
Thanks in advance.
I have tried going back to stock boot/recovery backups, flashing every single A2017G update and even tried Tenfar's tool to restore the removed backups in his thread. Cannot seem to fix
Only had this phone for 3 days and it's now useless.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you have a backup you could share?
As far as I know, the EFS bit is unique to each device. It contains your IMEI code, for example, which is unique for each device.... I can give you mine, but I'm not sure if that will help you.
I'll probably make a new thread asking for some help because I've tried about everything and I can't fix this mess on my own... I hope I won't have to send it back, no way of knowing they'll believe me
I've been doing some googling and perhaps we need a modem.bin file from a A2017G?
this is really not looking good
I have a twrp backup with all of the partitions backed up. I came from an S5, and when I would brick it or something, I would just boot into twrp and restore from the nandroid I previously made. But, now with the Oneplus 5, when I go to restore with a nandroid, it doesn't let me restore the data partition. I searched for solutions before posting this. The closest solution I found was to use titanium backup pro or similar app, to restore the data. Am I doing something or missing something? I thought when you made a nandroid backup it was just a copy of every aspect of your phone, which could be restored at any point?
You should have read the recovery thread. It says it can't restore OxygenOS data backups right now.
It actually says it will lead to a bootloop if you do. Maybe they disabled that option temporarily.
You can try this.
