Not possible to do a complete backup under Recovery TWRP

Hello everyone.
I am new owner of an S7 Edge and so I root it is ok!
I have installed a recovery version 3.0.2.4 this is ok too but I have a concern to make a full backup.
1 - When starting recovery I have a screen that says "Installing zips or operations via adb may change the system partition".
2 - When I want to do a backup I have these 03 options that are checked.
Booting
System
Data
But when I drag to make this backup I have error messages
Here are the images to better understand.
I think I have forgotten something, could you orient me please?
Thank you for your help.

encrypted data...... so if you want do a backup try out flashfire......

Working fine with flashfire !!
But there is still the solution of real recovery?
How to decrypt the data?
To make a backup?
Thanx !

1. Reboot to TWRP, Wipe > Format Data > Type 'yes'. This will wipe all the data on your phone including internal storage.
2. Don't reboot, and flash either SuperSU or one of the zips from here (latest version would be preferred). Since you have to wipe your internal storage in the previous step, put the zip in your external sdcard beforehand or flash it through adb sideload if you know how to.
Be careful when flashing stock firmware with odin, as it will automatically encrypt your device again. After you flash stock firmware, reboot directly into download mode again, flash TWRP, reboot to TWRP, and then follow step 2.

Hi !
I will download a stock rom in case of problem and I come back to give the results.
Big thanks !!! :good: :good:

Can't mount Data Partition.

These last days have been catastrophic for me and my p9 Lite.
A thousand and one operations I have done ... I have had to reinstall everything via fastboot ... (cust, recovery, boot, cache, recovery, recovery2, syste m)
And still, I do not get it to boot ... I still have hopes, because being in Revolution Nougat Recovery B.9 (or something like that) shows me the 3 partitions of the P9 Lite. (CUST, EXTERNAL SD and INTERNAL MEMORY) this last, says to be totally empty ... (0 MB) But when I give wipe - internal memory - repair partition, it tells me that there are 16 gs free.
When I want to change the format, to repair it ... it gives me error. Both F2sF and ExT4 ...
I think it may have been deleted in the internal configuration of the cell, the route to the DATA partition. Because I can not repair it in any way ... it always throws me wrong ...
If you like the challenges, here's a big one.
I have googled the possibility of re writing the path to the data partition via fastboot, I only get examples of Google Nexus 7 (which apparently in nexus 7 if it can be done), but none of P9 Lite.
Later I will upload screenshots about the errors that the revolution recovery throw me ... (if anyone is willing to help)
At the moment, I am without an operating system. I have access to huawei recovery, also to revolution recovery and I also have fastboot access.
In the eRecovery, when I try to download the complete package ... it throws me "error in the package", putting the UPDATE.APP of the B371 in the dload folder, the update goes up to 50% and then I throw "error in the package".
I hope they help me and that together we can find a solution to my problem.
From already thank you very much.

I think the only solution is to flash firmware via dc-phoenix

Try to flash stock recovery and do a factory reset, maybe it will work
Otherwise buy dc; phoenix (it costs 15€ i think) and it will write nougat firmware b370
---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------
If flashing recovery via fastboot isn't working,
Download whatever version of revolution recovery
Extract it, remove file_context , replace recovery.img by the recovery that you have downloaded,
Archive meta-inf and recovery.img
Flash it through recovery
Hope it will works

I am stuck with a similar issue, but Meticulus TWRO 2.8.7.0:
I get Failed to mount '/data' (Invalid argument) and Unable to open '' to wipe crypto key
I can neither wipe /data, nor format it, nor do anything else with it.
I tried flashing stock ROM and tried factory reset over there: it failed
I went back to stock B160 from CM13, recently.
Somehow I did wipe /system in order to run an update, which did not work.
So I got deeper and deeper into this trouble.
At the moment, there is CM13 without /data und unable to wipe /data in any ways.
I do not have a SD at the moment.
Would it help to put a complete stock onto SD and install it via update mode?
edit:
I could install an old system backup, which did boot and after flashing stock recovery I could factory reset /data

How can I install Oxygen OS 5.0.1 with an unlocked bootloader?

Good day!
Our country just received the Oxygen OS 5.0.1 update.
How can I install it with an unlocked bootloader?
I was going to relock it but I found out that if I did, my data will be gone.
The only difference in the set-up of my phone from a stock OP5 is the unlocked bootloader.

Flash through stock recovery

If I do this, will my data be wiped out or not?

What about using the OTA notification ?

What do you mean?
I tried to update my phone using the normal way but after downloading and tried to install it, it failed because my bootloader is unlocked.

I just made a backup of data using codeworkx recovery. Copied the backup (Along with the files on userdata I wanted to keep) to my PC.
Wiped all and formatted data. Then installed Oreo and copied back the files and data backup from the pc to the phone and restored data with codeworkx recovery again.
Then flashed magisk 15.2 and rebooted.
Everything working fine now.

I managed to flash Nougat without locking my bootloader. But I also had to Format the Data partition to make it work. I used Titanium Backup to backup the data of the Apps and Myapplist to make a list of the apps. After installing Oreo I only needed to spent 1 hour to restoring the app data.

Hello, I'm interested in the same thing.. I have oxygen osv4.5.x received notice for is 5.0.1 and want to install. I have an unlocked bootloader and am also rooted w/magisk. I want to keep my unlocked bootloader and root after upgrading. I also want to do a "clean" install.
Can anyone provide detail instructions, including best back up method of data and links to any files needed (twrp, magisk, etc) thanks

This is what I did:
Downloaded OnePlus5Oxygen_23_OTA_028_all_1801031502_04d7cc5. zip, twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img and Magisk-v15.3.zip.
Rebooted to TWRP and installed the Codeworkx TWRP using the Install->Image option inside TWRP.
Rebooted to TWRP again to make sure that my TWRP was updated.
Entered WIPE from TWRP main menu and used the 'Format' option to Format the Data and typed 'Yes'
This deleted my Internal Storage so I had to backup everything beforehand.
Then used advanced wipe to wipe Cache and Dalvik.
Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
I was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
Copied the OnePlus full update and Magisk zip file.
Installed the OnePlus full update and Wiped Cache and Dalvik and rebooted the device to make sure that the OS boots.
Then rebooted the device to fastboot to flash Codeworkx TWRP again because it was unavailable.
Booted into TWRP and flashed Magisk.
I am now on Oreo and I hate the way Ambient Display looks right now.

I honestly dont see a big difference yet, but only had it for two days. Feels a bit snappier, my signal a bit stronger, and probably an improvement with battery life. I had issues upgrading but then again I flashed the wrong version of magisk. I think the most important thing is the latest android security update.

Hey, thanks.. I will update later today. I see you provided which version of twrp (twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img). But what is the difference between the version you noted and the one I found (twrp-3.2.1-0-oreo-8.0-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img)

You can ask that question on the TWRP thread. May be they can answer it correctly. I guessed that twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img was for both Nougat and Oreo and that is why I used it. So, if you want to be sure you should ask that on a TWRP thread.

Hello, I was reviewing the process and just downloaded everything onto my computer and transferred onto my phone but have a few questions regarding some of the steps.
* Rebooted to TWRP and installed the Codeworkx TWRP using the Install->Image option inside TWRP
** Can I update TWRP via the official app and is that version of TWRP okay to use over the "twrp-3.2.1-0-universal-codeworkx-cheeseburger.img"
* Entered WIPE from TWRP main menu and used the 'Format' option to Format the Data and typed 'Yes' / This deleted my Internal Storage so I had to backup everything beforehand.
** How, what and where did you back up your data? Because later you mentioned "deleted my Internal Storage". I am guessing that because the OP5 does not have an external SD card everything is wiped and the new OS 5.0.1 needs to be saved onto a computer and then re-transferred back onto the phone. I am also guessing that the backup will need to be saved onto a computer as after wiping the phone it would also delete that file too, correct?
* Mounted the internal storage by using the Mount option from TWRP main menu.
** I am assuming that this option after the data wipe is self explanatory?
* I was having problem copying files to the internal storage so I rebooted TWRP and the problem was fixed.
** This is what makes be believe all the files should be on a computer. How did you reboot and when you did, does it go directly / back to TWRP?
* Installed the OnePlus full update and Wiped Cache and Dalvik and rebooted the device to make sure that the OS boots. / Then rebooted the device to fastboot to flash Codeworkx TWRP again because it was unavailable.
** I am guessing here that once OS v8 is installed the TWRP img is no longer on the phone. I would need to transfer the TWRP back onto the phone then re-flash? Could I just install the TWRP official app and flash that way?
Thanks

You have to flash TWRP by going to fastboot mode .
If you are rooted only then the TWRP app works

Yes I am currently rooted. Once I flash the new OS will I still have root access to use the TWRP official app? Is that why after flashing new OS you need to flash TWRP via fastboot?
What about the backing up? I also have full titanium, thanks.

I received the following tip
"Wipe data and then copy the rom full zip flash it boot it to the starting screen then boot to recovery and then flash magisk ,you will see no errors."
But this makes no sense to me.
I have formatted my phone / wiped data / have the full rom & magisk on my "/sdcard" / went to install zip via TWRP, selected the rom and received the error message.
I decided to just go and upgrade via OTA and that failed. My phone has rebooted back to stock
what am i doing wrong?

[Possibly bricked] "Failed to mount /data" & no internal storage

Hello everyone!
I have a P9 lite VNS-L31 running 7.0.1. on EMUI 5.0.2..
However during a factory wipe, it stopped booting correctly and I can't get passed from neither bootloader nor recovery.
I have TWRP Revolution v.260317 (TWRP 3.1.0-0) installed and my main problem is that for some reason the phone says that I have no internal storage whatsoever and if I try to wipe the /data partition it fails to mount it (error: Failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)).
I tried any of the methods in videos titled "how to fix unable to mount /data" (sorry, I cannot post links :/ ) but with no luck.
I can't seem to repair nor resize nor change file system of the /data partition. When trying to repair data using e2fsck it gives out the message:
" /sbin/e2fsck -fp process ended with ERROR: 16"
Any ideas?
I can use recovery and fastboot if necessary.
Regards

Well, more or less, but I managed to solve it!
I found out that the reason why it said there was 0mb of internal storage was because the bootloader that was previously unlocked turned itself locked, that's why it couldn't mount the /data partition. I just used SKR Tool to unlock the bootloader and after that yes, I installed that version of TWRP that you linked.
I also found out that the Revolution TWRP installed in the eRecovery partition (/recovery2 ?) instead of the normal recovery partition. What image is supposed to be installed in that partition?

That is the second recovery partition (another recovery) aka huaweis last ditch attempt to fix a broken phone. There's no actually problem if u don't have it-as most of the time (in my experience) its utter garbage, but there's no harm in flashing it if u want.
U can extract it from ur update.app file using huawei update extractor.

Yeah, I tried to install the RECOVERY2.img that I extracted from the UPDATE.app and it didn't work so I just didn't bother and installed the TWRP again.
But at least everything is solved!

Can't create a backup through TWRP.

I tried creating a system backup through TWRP just now for the first time ever. Throughout the process, it gave me multiple messages saying "unable to mount data" and the same for some other folders, and when the backup supposedly finished, it just said failed.
Is there anything I can try without actually wiping either of the partitions? This obviously because I'm trying to create a backup so I can wipe afterwards.

That's the TWRP version that I've got installed.
I just reinstalled both stock firmware and reflashed TWRP but the exact same issue persists. At first I was able to mount data though, I could flash zips such as Magisk etc. But after having set everything up again on my phone, I couldn't mount data anymore.

Maybe I wasn't very clear.
I flash the stock firmware, set that up to enable OEM unlock. Then flash TWRP, wipe /data, flash magisk and other required zips (at this point, data is mounted). I then set that all up however I want, install apps etc.
If I want to create a backup after all that, it doesn't work cause of the unable to mount /data and /storage.

Sounds like your device is still encrypted
Did you flash the no Verity encrypt zip file
Also I said to format data not wipe.
In the mount menu these are the options I have enabled.

You're right, I formatted data, not wipe.
I did flash the no verity zip, does the order in which I flash Magisk, no-verity and RMM state unlock matter?

The instructions I followed to install twrp
Flash twrp (which you have done)
Format data
When finished reboot back into twrp(use twrp reboot menu option)
Flash no-verity zip via twrp ( have to make sure you have it on internal storage or SD card)
Then flash everything else
Not sure if you need RMM state unlock if your bootloader(OEM) is already unlocked in developer options though.

Just as matter of curiosity I use FX file explorer (root) in the menu filesystem it should tell you what format your data partition is mine or ext4. I have read that some people through twrp have changed it to something like ext3 and then back to ext4
Also this is the thread I used to install my twrp

I think that second thread you linked may have done the trick.
At first it didn't seem to help, but when I tried it again after reflashing everything, I am now able to mount /data.
I'm still in the dark as to why this happened and hasn't happened to anyone else other than the person who created that file, but either way, thank you very much for your help.

Maybe I wasn't very clear.
I flash the stock firmware, set that up to enable OEM unlock. Then flash TWRP, wipe /data, flash magisk and other required zips (at this point, data is mounted). I then set that all up however I want, install apps etc.
If I want to create a backup after all that, it doesn't work cause of the unable to mount /data and /storage.
