[Q] What does TRWP save? Please help :(

Hello guys,
I made a really big mistake by flashing the newest Rayglobe 2.5 ROM. Yesterday I flashed Rayglobe 2.4 and saw few hours later that acer released the 2.5, so I decided before work to copy the new version to my sd card and flash it at work. Few minutes ago I accidentally selected Full Wipe and install the ROM. Now everything is gone on my sd. That sucks, but i made a backup before I flashed Rayglobe 2.4.
Now my question is:
Does TWRP also backup photos and data on sd?
If not, could anybody help me to get my files back? Maybe with a tool to recover lost data.
I can't test it by now, because the backup lies at home.
I solved my problem by restoring most of the files.
If anybody made the same mistake and do a full wipe just use Dr. Fone for Android or follow this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGw1fxUD-uY
Don't waste your time to restore the files otherwise it could be possible that less files are restorable.
regards

[Q] Nexus 4 Lollipop SimpleAOSP - no acces to internal storage

Hello,
I installed SimpleAOSP v10 on my Nexus 4 (with TWRP, 2.7xx; Paranoid Android 4.6 Beta)
When I discovered that any of apps can´t acces internal storage (imgs, downloads etc.) i switched back to paranoid android and updated TWRP to newest version. Then I´ve installed SimpleAOSP lollipop again, still no change (no acces to internal storage).
I saw guide, where is adviced to do factory reset via phone settings. (I dind´t try this yet, because not sure if it will delete internal storage with backups and rom imgs => if u know this please tell me what does it delete or change)
Any ideas?
Thanks for your time guys
Ask the developer the problem seems specific to the ROM
Sent from my Nexus 4
If you have backup of your rom/data (recovery), just restore it.

i'm using the rom without any problem.
your problem probably is something went wrong when installing. i suggest to try to format /data via recovery or a factory reset erasing everything even sd. also you could try to install a clean android (via wug toolkit or manually) and try to install a different version of simple asop.
P.S. i don't know if formatting /data will preserve your data or not. look it up!

no service only on non-samsung roms

Hey everyone
So my i9500 has this problem since while and that's really boring
When I install a stock Samsung ROM or a based one every thing is working correctly
But when installing a stock android based like cyanogen mod based ROMs I get no service
And I can't see me imei
I have lost my imei once and restored it by overwriting efs folder with that I had a copy of
And then flashed a modem and every thing went back normal
Since then no stock android based ROM doesn't have this problem
Tried flashing bootloaders modems nothing solve the problem
So please any help
Thanks
after 2 months of trying i finally solved it thanks any way it was about the way i restored my EFS with i've deleted the folder restored the 2 imei files can't remeber their names then flashed samsung stock took a backup with TWRP then removed the efs folder installed the rom wiped cache restored the back up installed gapps wiped cache the flashed a modem then wiped then restarted then every thing is working correctly

Help!! go from 8.1 to 6.0

I explain my problem, after taking time trying roms 8.1 I decided to give a second chance to the stock-based roms. After several attempts with a couple of roms, I always get the same problem after installation (so not installed). I have read that it may be a problem with the version of twrp (right now with the latest version). Before trying to download the version I have to do something special, install as an image and go? Do I lose information when doing it?
What steps should I follow to go down to 6.0?
Besides this, I have a backup made of the gizrom, every time I want to restore it I get the same message: so not installed
Thank you

Backup everything on your internal storage while you are on 8.1 rom. Or restore 8.1 rom and do the backup now.
Even you had tried to restore 6.0 stock rom (unsuccessfully) you can still restore the 8.1 Twrp backup it should work.
Go back from 8.1 to stock 6.0 you can restore the 6.0 backup in Twrp as normal. But after restore the backup done you will need to format data. From Twrp menu go to: Wipe > Format data (here you will lose everything on internal storage). The stock 6.0 restored rom/system will still there and working.
You can restore the app data of the backup rom after you done with the format data.
If you don't do the format data the 6.0 rom will not work I think. It will show something about encryption stuff when it try to boot and enter the system.

Please Help! (Urgent)

Guys, I'm not very mature with this device Rn7. As i already know about it's encryption. It's v flaky.
I'm running LOS 17.1, i have setup Pin & Fingerprint in my device which i enter into the recovery as well for decryption. I never flashed a Firmware thingy in my Device. As i have read before flashing many ROMs, You should have to flash Android Q firmwares on Top. But i never did that when flashing LOS 17.1. I just rooted Miui 11 installed custom recovery (Orange Fox R11) & flashed LOS 17.1
Question 1: LOS 17.1 is FBE or FDE?
Question 2: If i want to move on to Bliss ROM 12.11 from my current LOS 17.1 (21.7 nightly), Formating data will be necessary? Or i can just wipe? So i don't loose my Internal storage.
Question 3: Does anyone know how to flash a firmware? BlissROM OP says flashing a firmware on the Top before flashing Rom.zip?
Question 4: If i want to backup (nandroid) my current OS (LOS 17.1) into the recovery. Exactly which partitions i should backup? So i can restore after trying Bliss ROM or if i get a bootloop or other issues (if needed). My Internal storage will be safe at that time aswell after restore?
My Current OS: LOS 17.1
Current Recovery: Orange Fox R11
LOS 17 is fbe. idk the rest

1) LOS 17.1 is FBE
2) when changing ROM is recommended to clean flash and format data but you can try to install the new ROM without formatting data, in case of bootloop or issues booting the system the only solution is to format data or restore the nandroid backup of the previous ROM
3) download the latest stable firmware (for your region or the global one) from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/lavender/ then just flash it in recovery
4) read carefully this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ngefox-recovery-project-t3941822/post79771469 remember to copy the backup to a safe place (external sd card or computer)

If i flash the firmware on the top first. & Clean flash the ROM but without formating data. & if the ROM bootloops, i can just format the data & reboot the system? I will have the working device with newly flashed ROM? Or i will have to re-flash the whole ROM. zip again after formatting the data if newly flashed ROM bootloops?
Necessary to know for me, Because i won't have ROM.zip into my internal storage then if i will format the data when the ROM bootloops.
In addition to what others have posted, I would add :
- you can flash firmware anyhow.
- only /data and internal storage parts. are needed in most cases to be backed up. But that depends on what you wanna backup. I personally do not recommend relying on nandroid backups for data because of encryption. It is a hit and miss and you dont wanna take the risk in regards to data I believe. Just use an app data backup tool instead.
- Efs, modem, persist partitions should be backed up at least once and should be saved in different places because they can help fixing rare issues of imei lost, fingerprint breaking etc

Format data after flashing the ROM and then rebooting the system should be ok and you don't need to reflash anything
