Hi Everyone,
I have an P5110 running stock Samsung 4.04 ICS firmware it's rooted and has cwm touch recovery installed and titanium backup pro (root) installed.
My question is this how do i verify a Nanodroid backup ?
I have read it checks the backups before a restore.
However, When running version 5.xx of CWM recovery it failed twice to restore data and since i couldn't i find a way to check the data before i restored it.
Data was overwritten, however cwm reported a fail to write to data, and sure enough no data had been written but /data had been formatted.
Is their a way to verify a backup before i choose to restore it ?
i am now using ClockworkMod-Recovery_6.0.1.0
thanks
Col
[ Backup with ADB through Recovery TWRP 3.0.2-r5 or TWRP 3.1.0-0 ]
I found out how to backup easy through Recovery with ADB and create this software to help you get easy with that, just execute it and follow what is write in there!
Download the zip, extract the folder, boot in twrp and plug the usb cable, open the folder and execute the exe file, select the option and follow what is write. The backup files will be stored in Rom_Backup folder!
To restore the partitions you need to do a backup first from the same partitions then do a restore!

Hello.
Forgive my silly question, but I want to be sure I don't create a mess.
In May I was with stock rom rooted with 8+8 GB and I've done a backup with your tool, so now on my pc I have the file Backup_14052017.bak.
Then I've flashed LineageOS 13.0 for Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 4.7 rom by alecbl.
Now I want to go back to that stock rom.
Can I do it just restoring that backup, right? And then I'll have back the stock rom 8+8, and all the data I had in may, correct?
Thanks.
Luigi.
Stick with Lineage - personna bricked his phone .........
OOps, doesn't suond funny...
Bricked using the restore option???
So, I'm trying to restoring that backup.
I've rebooted the phone in TWRP, plugged it to pc, launched ROM_BACKUP.exe, choosen 1 - Restore Backup and written backup's name.
But I get the error "adb: unable to connect for restore" (see attachment).
I have debug usb enabled and USB Computer Connection set on Camera(PTP).
What am I missing?
Thanks.
Luigi.

The latest TWRP from FireLord. You need to be on the recovery for restore to work.

Which version is the latest? I have 3.1.0-0.
I've turned off the phone, then pushed power+volume up for booting on TWRP.
I'm in the initial screen, the one with 'Install', 'Wipe', 'Backup', 'Restore', 'Mount', 'Settings', 'Advanced', 'Reboot' when trying to restore.
Mabe is something wrong on my pc with adb.
In my ROM_BACKUP folder I have (don't remember if they were originally there or if I've moved something in that folder)
adb.exe
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinApi_build.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
Backup_14052017.bak
ROM_BACKUP.exe
I've tried opening command line from that folder and writing 'adb devices' for seeing if everything was ok.
I've got the message 'List of devices attached' but nothing about the device.
So it seems there's something missing...
Thanks as usual!

Check in Android Development. Again, FireLord's TWRP is the latest.

Found it, but in the download page it says
twrp-3.1.1-idol3.img
for the Alcatel Idol 3 5.5, by FireLord
Will it work also on Alcatel Idol 3 4.7?

Ehhhh... I don't know. I would suggest hitting someone up to build the latest TWRP for the 4.7 Idol 3.
solquest - I would suggest you use personna's TWRP he made - that is the one he used to check this works on his phone
check his posts

Do you mean TWRP 3.0.2-r5 and TWRP 3.1.0-0?
Tried them both but always got this message:
command id: 'adbrestore' and there is no value
E:Unable to find file system (first period).
E:Unable to find file system (first period).
E:Unknown restore method for '/system'
E:ADB Restore failed.
Done processing script file.
Checking online, mine doesn't seem the only case: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/issues/133
Well the latest TWRP is by alecbl on the lineage thread towards the end - 3.1.1.0 - try that one and see if that works....

Found and tried.
Restoring finally worked and it said it restored system and also data (while I thought with ROM_BACKUP I would have restored only system).
The problem now is that phone doesn't boot... I get the ALCATEL ONETOUCHE powered by ANDROID screen, then the Idol 3 screen, then the blue android forming and then it reboot.
Any idea on what to do?

Wipe Data. Sometimes it kills phones.

I've wiped Data, Cache and Dalvik, but nothing changes.
Sometimes I just get the first screen (ALCATEL onetouch - powered by Android) and then it reboots, sometimes it goes a bit further with the other two screens (Idol 3 and the droid getting blue) but then it reboots again.
Should I try with Repair or Change File System?
On TWRP I've tried to restore data (but don't know if that would have helped) but when I select the Package to restore (2017-05-14-07-37-44_LRX22G_release_keys) I get the error 'No partition selected for restore'.
I've wiped Data, Cache and Dalvik, but nothing changes.

Hello.
I've tried restoring that backup again.
Here's the messages I got while restoring:

Done again 'wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik' before rebooting, but then it keeps rebooting again.
Any chance to get back to 5.0.2 stock rom without restoring that backup?
In case, could I install again LineageOS 13.0 for Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 4.7 rom by alecbl?
Thanks.

On TWRP when I try to restore data (hoping that this would make phone booting ok) I am asked 'Select Partition to Restore:' but there's nothing I can select... and if I swipe to resore I get the error 'No partition selected for restore'.
Can't I restore the backup I've done with TWRP?
---------- Post added at 13:30 ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 ----------
trying to flash LineageOS 13.0 for Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 4.7 rom by alecbl again I get these messages:

When I've rebooted system nothing changes (keeps rebooting after the first screen)
Booted phone in recovery, wiped dalvik, system, data, internal storage and cache.
Then tried restore via adb and got the message:
command is: 'adbrestore' and there is no value
E:Error opening TW_ABD_BU_CONTROL
Done processing script file
Then wiped again data and cache and flashed again LineageOS 13.0 for Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 4.7 rom by alecbl (with august security patch).
But still the phone keeps rebooting after the first screen.
So I've wiped data, cache and dalvik again and tried with 'adb restore Backup_14052017.bak' and got these messages:
Here's the messages I got while restoring:

Try mobile Q upgrade in DOWNLOAD MODE.

I have a Magisk rooted Samsung S5e with unlocked boot loader and Lineage 19.1 (lineage-19.1-20221114-nightly-gts4lvwifi-signed.zip), Android 12.
I have TWRP recovery (TWRP 3.7.0_9-0) and if I try to do a backup, I see only scrambled data on /sdcard
I did not set any PIN, though Security > Encryption and credentials is showing "Encrypted" (which cannot be changed).
Booted to TWRP Recovery - if Data selected to be backup up, it ends with "Backingup data (excl. storage)...
Backups of data do not include any files in internal storage such as pictures or downloads.
createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255
Backup Failed. Cleanning Backup Folder."
At droidwin I read, that I could flash "no-verity-opt-encrypt.zip" to permanently decrpyt data. I do not care for the security issue as my device will be kept at home.
But I am not sure, if this would cause issues with safetynet or if it even would break my device / installation.
What are the options if I want to be able to backup and restore Data via TWRP?
Thanks
