Hi guys,
So I made a backup of everything (all the partitions including vendor/system etc.) using TWRP in the morning and restored to it from TWRP.
The restored finished and I hit 'reboot' and now I'm stuck at the white 'Google' logo and it's not proceeding from there. It's not even taking me to TWRP.
Please help!
Update: I was able to boot into bootloader and thereon into TWRP. I did a factory reset and from there restored 'System, data, vendor, and boot'. My Q is now, do I restore vendor or vendor image or both? Note that I'm restoring from Resurrection Remix to Pure Nexus, so vendor image may not be the same.
Update 2: Restored and logged into the OS. Vendor image shows N2G47W (by Beatstown for Pure Nexus). So does this mean that restoring 'vendor' is the same as restoring 'vendor image'?
I believe in twrp if you choose to backup vendor.image it creates a flash able image and if you choose vendor, that's what you restore. Try getting the vendor.img of the backup version your trying to restore from Google factory images and after you restore you backup boot back into bootloader and fastboot flash that vendor image before booting OS.

Hi guys! I need a bit of help. I was using PA 4.42 with FK r209 on my N4 with all F2FS (/system, /data, /cache). Yesterday I flashed Nexus_5_Experience_cm11_Nexus4_Release8.5 which claimed in its features that it has F2FS support. so I made a Nandroid backup with TWRP, wiped system, data, cache, dalvik cache and flashed the ROM. Installer did the job apparently fine and showed installation as successful. I then rebooted but ROM could not make it. It was stuck on decryption password screen and did not go past even by giving the password. Then I got back to TWRP Recovery mode and tried to restore my Nandroid backup but it was also stuck at PA boot animation prior to decryption password screen. Then I again went back to Recovey, wiped system, cache, data and dalvik cache again and then restored the Nandroid backup again but it stuck at PA boot animation again.
Is there any way I can restore my backup or would I need to fastboot flash a factory image to make the phone alive again? If so, would it be ok to flash factory image while having all partitions converted to F2FS? Will it do the job or add up in the issue?
Any suggestions would be appreciated please.
EDIT:
ISSUE SOLVED BY FASTBOOT FLASHING 4.4.4 FACTORY IMAGE WHICH HAD NO CLASH WITH F2FS PARTITIONS AND RE-WROTE ALL PARTITIONS TO EXT4 FORMAT.
Hii
I have flashed OTA zip of Android N Preview.
So my question is whether i can restore my TWRP Backup of Pure Nexus ROM to get back.
I have backed up the everything from TWRP like
Data
System
System Image
Boot
Vendor
Vendor Image.
So if its possible to restore using TWRP backup of Pure Nexus ROM that i took earlier .
what partitions do i need to restore to get back properly .
Do i need to restore
Boot , System & Data partitions to get back to Pure Nexus ROM or all partitions including System Image, Vendor image
Did you flag thru TWRP? of so did you flag modified boot IMG or kernel? To my knowledge that had to be done before rebooting into system.
To be able to restore TWRP. Also 3.0.0.0 is nor playing nice with new version so TWRP 3.0.0.1 has been released

You don't need to backup system image or vendor image, so don't worry about those in future, and definitely don't restore them. You should be fine with just restoring boot, system, data, and vendor.
Ok i flashed the Android N preview Manually using fastboot.after that flashed Modified Boot.img
flashed TWRP by Rom Racer v 3.0.0-1
Booted into twrp successfully without any problem & formatted Data Partition.
Used Android N preview for an hour or so and found that it cant be used as daily driver and also found that i couldnt live without Dt2w,s2s, xposed,root . So then reverted back to Dirty Unicorns ROM using TWRP backup that i made earlier.
So the process i followed to restore back :
Boot into TWRP
Wipe Dalvik, Data, System, Cache partitions.
flashed an older Vendor image zip of Android Marshmallow through TWRP
Restored the TWRP backup of Dirty Unicorn ROM.
And successfully reverted back to the ROM i was using earlier.
Before going into the subject, I'll say that I have tried to seach this matter in XDA and Google, but nothing showed up.
Okay, so my matter is that I can't restore my backup of stock rom(8.0) after I flash a 8.1 rom. I've backuped with official TWRP "recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img".
My procedures are :
back up stock 8.0(system, data, cache, efs) with official TWRP "recovery-3.2.1-2-oreo.img"
flash oreo rom(with wiping internel, data, system, cache) and boot it fine.
restore my stock backup with same TWRP
boot system
The results are :
Goes past boot logo
Boot animation('android one' with colors sliding) shows up
and... just infinite loop of boot animation.
The ROM I used is RR.
I think the main problem is related with encryption.... Just my thought, tho.
So what I'm asking is :
1. If you face the same problem as me?
2. If you aren't and you restore goes fine, please tell me your procedures including ROM used and TWRP used.
3. Whether it is safe to decrypt stock rom?
Thanks in advance!
You don't need to flash stock ROM again. You have a system image backup(system, data, cache, efs), right? Wipe data , system, cache if you are coming from any other ROM. Then reboot to bootloader. Boot into latest TWRP from Fastboot (don't flash). Then go to restore and restore the system image you had backed up. Don't restore efs if you haven't lost your IMEI.
I've done exactly as ypu told, but it doesn't boot...
Did you manage to restore without problem with your method?
Yes I was able to. No problem here.
What TWRP did you use? Also, what ROM have you flashed?
Used the latest TWRP by MohanCM for Oreo. I did it when I was on Lineage os and wanted to go to stock
@guy_infinity Okay, thanks for your answer! Gonna try out later, once more.
Hmmm.... Still didn't boot up.
I thought I had to do everything from the begining, but flashing stock with save userdata option rescued me.
P.S. does anyone know about the error E: recv error on uevent?
try flashing stock rom using mi flash and after flashing restore normally using latest twrp/deadman's without system image voila everything will be back
@arjunbalan1994 Big thanks for your suggestion! Will try that too later
Hi, did you solve your restore problem? I have the same w/ my Redmi Note 5 and stock Miui backup after flashing RR.
Thanks for your help
I was use 8.1 root and twrp recovery. Yesterday fastboot flash may rom and update 2nd may OTA
Don't understand : May rom is Miui rom?
And did you restore your miui rom 8.0 backup ith twpr after the fastboot flash stock?
So I was using a certain root app and it told me to enable Magisk Core mode and reboot. I did that, and my phone was in a bootloop. So I wen't to TWRP and flashed stock ROM zip. Rebooted and it was still bootlooping.
So I took a TWRP Backup of all partitions, and then wiped system fully and flashed stock ROM. Still bootlooping. So I did a factory reset and wiped system as well, keeping internal storage. Then I flashed stock ROM zip and rebooted - it fixed it, but was factory reset. So I went back into TWRP and restored the data partition. Unfortunately, I got the TarFork Error 255 when restoring. I saw on google that you need to setup Android first to restore. Rebooted to go into Android but it took me to TWRP, and this time didn't ask for decryption password. I went to internal storage and everything was encrypted. I don't remember exactly what I did next but now I'm in fastboot with no TWRP recovery, and when I do fastboot boot twrp.img I get this error: "FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')"
Can anyone help me recovery from this and possibly get my internal storage back, or at least installed apps. I can provide TWRP restore log as well: https://del.dog/ivugupemeq

Have you tried the MSM Download Tool to restore the device yet? I'm leaning towards that honestly.

(Double post, ignore this)
Got it fixed by flashing full stock ROM in fastboot without wiping, so userdata was recovered, and then restored app data from the TWRP nandroid backup in Titanium backup

Damn don't even have this phone anymore lol
I think I used the fastboot ROMs from an xda post but when it asks you to wipe or not I clicked no, and then I booted to Android and apps data can be restored from a nandroid backup in titanium backup, just search to find that feature, instead of restoring the data backup in twrp
Hello there,
I had had LOS17.1 installed on my SGN3. Made a TWRP 3.4.0-1 backup, flashed a stock ROM for a few days and then went for restoring LOS17 again. But restoration wasn't successful.
First "Cannot restore Modem - mounted read only" log show up during restoration. Checking Modem in Mount did not help. So I unchecked modem, which "solved" the issue.
After restore completed, device rebooted but got stuck in what I would call a recovery loop. Black screen -> TWRP splashscreen -> black screen (repeat indefinitely). It can be broken up by entering Recovery (or Download) by appropriate hardware key combo.
But the issue is I cannot get into my system. Installing LOS17 from scratch works but I would like the data.
I tried multiple TWRP versions and fix_rootfs_label.zip I have found here on XDA with no success. Installing fresh LOS17 works and restoring only "data" lets me boot, but the system is not usable (but still trying).
Restoring more than "data" always ended up in the recovery loop.
What was interesting is that when I tried to install GApps to the restored backup, it threw an error saying that this GApps package is for Android 10, while Android 7 (SDK 25) was detected on the system.
Any help?
Thank you!
Did you flash Gapps or no? If yes try nano if no i can't help
