I faced with the problem - after restore backup(across twrp) , section /data formatted again , although in the past this was not. Version TWRP - 3.0.0.0

Since I have SlimKat ROM, I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 installed as recovery, but I am wondering if my backups are complete: this version of TWRP does not seem to backup .android_secure. The same for restore: .android_restore is not handled
Why ? I saw some videos with TWRP 2.1.1 that shows .android_restore partition in backup/restore screens
I've been using TWRP for ....ever on my N900T (Note 3). Today I thought to format System/Data/cached to f2fs. TWRP 2.8.7.0 would only format system and cache, and only offered "Error =1" when trying to format data. By dropping down to 2.8.1.0 I was able to format data. All seemed well until I found the system and cache reverted back to ext4...probably after restoring the rom. I DID check the -rf box in settings before restoring the backup, but ...oh well.
After updating TWRP to 2.8.7.0 I went to backup the rom again, but data was not accessible. I tried repairing the file, but that was in vain also. I went BACK down to 2.8.1.0 and formatted the data back to ext4, but left system and cache f2fs. The phone seem to work fine like this, but I would REALLY like to format the data f2fs. Is there anyway of doing this with success?

Okay...I found that by downgrading TWRP to 2.8.1.0 I was able to format all to f2fs, restore the backup, and create a new backup. So...I'm going to stay on 2.8.1.0 until someone can assure me 2.8.7.0 or another version can perform the format and maintain the stability..
Hello,
I have a Galaxy s4 i9505 jfltexx. I'm under CWM recovery but I'd rather prefer to have PhilZ Recovery.
I saw that jflexx versions have been stopped and that they recommended to use jflte version... for this OK. But are there some versions that I musn't flash ? Or do I need the last version available ?
Thanks for your help
TWRP is the recommended recovery for us, once you get used to it, it is actually better...
Philz is based on cwm. Since cwm hasn't been updated for a while, neither has Philz.
I also recommend TWRP as many ROMs recommend TWRP.
Ok except that I had a problem with CWM this morning : the Nandroid backups doesn't save the "preload". It was impossible for me to restore it (bootloop). As I understood recently, only PhilZ Recovery has an option to include the preload in the Nandroid backup.
Last but not least, where can I get TWRP on its last version for my phone ? Can you send me a link ?
Here.
TWRP also has a preload backup option if I remember correctly.
Why would you backup preload? As far as I know the partition is empty, for me at least.
Here is a TWRP recovery from autor's website for GT-I9505 (JFLTEXX): https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/

Because, even if it's not a galaxy S2, I had exactly this problem yesterday with my Nandroid backup : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/bootloop-nandroid-restore-t2337856
Thanks KonowaL !

Well, maybe it's a CWM problem.
I never backed up the preload partition, yet I have successfully restored my nandroid backups in the past.

I just flashed TWRP as you advised. It seems really great (not as the old version I tested by the past)... but there is no preload partition backup option. Or I don't see it. Where do you see it ?
I flashed the 3.0.0 version.

Hmm..
I think only JDCTeam's TWRP has that option. I know their 2.8.7.2 TWRP had several backup options, including efs and others.
Also note that TWRP backups don't work with CWM backups, so you will have to redo them.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, I never backed up preload (unless TWRP does that on its own) and restored those backups successfully, and without bootlooping.
You might wanna try it yourself in order to believe it.
OK thanks a lot for your help
So I have been running Pure Nexus rom with Elemental X kernel and SuperSU and it's been working just fine. Well I made a nandroid, and flashed a couple new roms to try out. Didn't like any of them better so I decided to restore back to my nandroid. I used TWRP 3.0.2-2 to make the nandroid and when I tried to restore using same version it just constantly bootloops between the Google splash screen and the"Your device software cannot be checked etc etc screen". I did update my radio and bootloader to the newest versions via a flashable zip and also updated my vendor to the latest vendor image N4F26J. One of the roms said my vendor image was out of date or whatever but still booted fine for me to try out. Regardless I have factory reset phone including internal storage and flashed the factory OTA image and still no luck. Odd thing is I can still boot TWRP and also access my internal storage and move files from PC to my phone. It will even flash Roms and everything but it will not get past the Google splash screen. So wth do I do lol?

Maybe stupid answer : 1 did you flashed boot.img ?
2. Is your data partition anything like ex4 or f2fs ?
Will it stuck on google logo ? (I had stucl for 10 min once ) or it just bootloops
Why not try to flash 3.0.3.0 recovery and try again?

Did you try to flash the OTA image or full factory image? I think there is a known problem with the latest build of Pure nexus where some people can't boot past the Google logo. If that's your issue there are workarounds. You should check the Pure nexus thread.
Try a full wipe(without internal) and restore your nandroid without the data partition and let me know how it went.
If your nandroid contained the efs backup (3.0.2-2 backs it up by default) and you restored your backup with the efs partition your borked since you used TWRP 3.0.2-2. That TWRP has a bug restoring EFS as there is efs.1 and efs.2 and I think it writes both efs 1 and 2 to just efs.1 on the phone which causes the boot loop.
You need to have had an EFS backup and then roll back your twrp to 3.0.0-0 and restore your EFS back from there.

Ok I am gonna try and revert to 3.0.0 and restore the EFS and then the backup. Would that be the correct resolution?
Ok so I fixed it!!!!! Btw thank you guys for all your responses!!!
Even though my version of TWRP was 3.0.2-2 this still worked for me following these commands. I randomly found this page and said what the hell I have nothing to lose so I did it and it freakin' worked! anyways here's the link in case anyone else has this issue of not booting past google splash screen

Again thanks to those who responded and tried to help!
I recently bought Redmi Note 7 , i installed twrp and flashed Orangefox recovery. I flashed CR DROID ROM ANDROID 10 , i got bootloop so i decided to wipe all the data and changing system , data and , cache partition to EX2 and changing it back to EX4, but suddenly i can't mount my internal storage , it appears in orange fox recovery , i can access my internal storage but i can't mount internal storage
when i flash rom it now boots in bootloader
i've been searching a forums related to this but all the guides do not work on this phone.
ps : the reason why it got bootloop is because i did not installed firmware update

Hi bro, try format data.
You can also try latest TWRP or another recovery instead.
EDIT: Posted wrong link, deleted since i cannot find proper one...
