Restoring with Nandroid - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

I have a twrp backup with all of the partitions backed up. I came from an S5, and when I would brick it or something, I would just boot into twrp and restore from the nandroid I previously made. But, now with the Oneplus 5, when I go to restore with a nandroid, it doesn't let me restore the data partition. I searched for solutions before posting this. The closest solution I found was to use titanium backup pro or similar app, to restore the data. Am I doing something or missing something? I thought when you made a nandroid backup it was just a copy of every aspect of your phone, which could be restored at any point?

You should have read the recovery thread. It says it can't restore OxygenOS data backups right now.
It actually says it will lead to a bootloop if you do. Maybe they disabled that option temporarily.
You can try this.

[Q] Can't restore CWM backup...any ideas?

So my Nexus was acting really slow (I'm on 4.2.1), so I decided to backup via CWM and then factory reset, and do an Advanced Restore to restore my data. I backed up and did factory reset, but when I went to restore my backup, it couldn't be found. Apparently 4.2 moved the default CWM location to search "data/media/" and I didn't have my backups there (obviously). So I moved the clockworkmod folder from /sdcard/ to data/media/ and tried to restore. It gave me an MD5 mismatch, so I researched that, found a solution, and did restore. Unfortunately, that bricked my Nexus 7 so I had to restore via the ToolKit.
My question is…is there any possible way I can restore my data to my now factory-fresh (4.2.1) Nexus 7 from the backup I made? I have the backup and the blobs.
Bump, the same thing just happened to me and I dont want to create a new thread. Is there any way to restore a 4.1.2 backup from a device running 4.2.1? Thanks in advance
EDIT: I solved it by booting into CWM and then pushing the rom, full wiping and installing again

[solved]can not restore after efs corruption (online nandroid/twrp)

hi !
i ran into a problem and i couldn´t find a working fix(if any) by myself, hope the community can help.
i had an issue with corrupted efs. i was able to restore efs from an older backup i made with twrp - phone is working again.
i then restored my latest backup which is made with the online nandroid backup app.
it restores but all my apps, settings - everything beside custom boot animation is gone.
when i open the backup in the nandroid backup manager manager, i am able to restore apps manually, so they are present in this backup.
in twrp, normally it says "backup completed". this does not happen, at the end of the process the ui resets(teamwin splashscreen showing) but no error is shown.
already wiped, flashed stock rom and twrp again with odin.
thanks for helping

it´s the international 9005, snapdragon.
i use x-note 6.0 rom.
problem solved.
it didn´t have anything to do with the efs corruption.
all online nandroid backups i made were faulty.
tried several things to make it work.
seems like reinstalling busybox finally fixed it.

[Q] TWRP restore to a replacement device--what should I restore?

Ok, so I had to get a replacement Note 4 due to camera hardware issues. I made a TWRP backup of my original phone, now I want to restore things on my new phone. My question is what should I restore? The things I backed was everything I could:
Boot
Recovery
System
Data
Cache
EFS
Modem
Should I restore everything? I get the feeling that I shouldn't try to restore EFS for some reason, but I am not sure. Anything I definitely should not restore on the new device? Thanks

Restore from twrp backup

Has anyone tried to restore from a twrp backup before with the v20? Made a backup after root, would like to return to that state if possible. Just don't want to wipe and it can't boot and I got a paperweight since there is no ddl for restoring to stock

Bootloop after restoring backup in TWRP

I'm getting enablefilecrypto_failed error after restoring nand backup in TWRP. Is there any solution? I know I can format data and install any ROM but I need some data from that backup.
How can I at least restore some data like sms, contacts from this backup? It seem Titanium Backup PRO cannot extract anything from it. I can't extract it with 7zip either (I read it somewhere it's probably TWRP's method of packing - f2fs.win000/win001/etc files, with matching sha2 files). Does it mean TWRP incorrectly encrypted this backup or is it incorrectly decrypting while restoring? I didn't get any error while backing up nor restoring (besides above, but that's after not while)
I'm also not sure if I had Magisk in this backup or not (maybe incorrectly uninstalled, which I tried to do apparently and lost device certification after and couldn't use gpay before said bootloop)
Failing to update Magisk was the reason that forced me to restore nandroid backup in the first place. But I'm getting above error even if I try to restore it from MIUI or any other lineageos.
you have backup, so copy it to PC, format data, install ROM and restore backup
My first sentence: "I'm getting enablefilecrypto_failed error after restoring nand backup in TWRP"
Solved it by uninstalling Magisk after restoring backup, even before first reboot
