Backup S8 - G950F with TWRP - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hello guys,
i've just received the Android 8.0.0 and as soon as i got it, i root-ed it. Now everything is fine but the only problem i have is that i cannot backup the whole system as it is right now with TWRP.
When i open TWRP in boot and i go to backup all files it gives me the following error : "unable to mount //data". How can i solve this problem without formatting it again ?
Thank you.
P.S : i added a photo as an attachment with the error.

Format both to fat and back to ext4. I would like to know if there is another way. You can backup needed apps with titanium and restore later.

When you say both, you mean "data" and what else ?
LE: I did it for "data" and now it seems to work but will try when i have the whole rom ready.
Thanks.

Update : for that time being, it seemed to work. After that i installed all the apps and did all the settings and now when i go to backup it gives me the same error. This is a part of the recovery.log after the failed backup. By the way, it failed at almoast 95% .
".....................

I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/sda24', current file system: 'ext4'

Can anybody help me ?

Did you first format data to fat and back to ext4 and it got fixed?; was it showing free space in /data/media, not like on screenshot where is 0mb and it's broken? after you tried to backup it broke in the process? Try to wipe, install custom rom and back up it. Try external sd

After the first format it got fixed, yes. And i did make a back-up.
After that, i booted, i installed apps and so on and when i came back to twrp the error reappeared and /data got corrupted again.

I never got blocked out for 7 days even though i installed at least 20 times different roms in the past days.
When i rooted i installed the RMM .zip . Are you sure it's from there ?

Yes, I had the same problem. I am back on Android 7 until there is a good discribtion in the right order to get it right. No one can tell me the right solution. They are all diferent. So I wait for now.

I've tried using a twrp for oneplus 5 because they seem to have had the same problem. The good news is that is seemed to work as the /data remained ok. The bad news is that the phone would enter a loop.

I found the fix !!
dr.ketan helped me make the right files to flash. Now i have made the first FULL backup and i am amazed it works. In recovery /data appears mounted. I went there 3 times to make sure :fingers-crossed:
If you want to I will ask dr. ketan if i can upload the files.
Thanks for the help and have an easy day!

OKé, is he on the forum, dr ketan? Perhaps you can tell us now because you have the solution.

if you follow the video you have the "/data" problem and after that you solve it with the solution from dr. Ketan.
I don't know if you can flash directly the zip from dr. ketan, haven't tried it. In theory it should work but i can only confirm what worked for me.
Keep me updated on what you did.

Best step if one is on oreo stock and just want twrp +root
1.flash twrp with format data (will wipe Int storage)
2.flash magisk (from ext SD)
3.flash data mount fix(from ext SD)
All three to be flashed without reboot in between
Then must have to reboot to system
Now next time when reboot to recovery, data will available in twrp
Who already have oreo rom +twrp then simply flash data mount
Who are on nougat custom and want oreo custom rom
1.factory reset (no need to format data)
2.flash oreo custom rom
3.flash magisk if rom doesn't included
4.flash data mount fix
Reboot to system once
Done

You might not know this, but every device has its own different system partitions. The thread you were referring to is for Asus Transformer Pad. Following that might make the problem worse.
But this is ASus phone it works on lenovo a6000

In that tutorial mmcblk0p8 is being formatted because that memory location has the /data directory on Asus Transformer. But, in our device the /data can be in any other partition, and doing that might brick the device permanently
Delete the recovery log from twrp folder and flash another twrp from flashtool or rash..what version are you using? If it is indeed a corrupted partition, you can reflash your phone using qfill
Try using the Fix Permissions in TWRP recovery...
It may help.

Best way is install the latest twrp I.e 3.0.2 and do the format everything instead of advanced wipe. Your problem will be solved. I too faced the same problem and I did what I have advised you. It worked.

Is the problem resolved??
I have solution
Bro don't take so much tension , thats not hardware problem its only your Recovery's reading cache error . you can simply fix this by flashing old version of recovery and from that old recovery again wipe what you want to remove but man don't touch your mount section column , after wiping data and anything else simply flash new twrp.img then simply reboot recovery . wollllaaa you got your partion cache back now again you can simply flash you favorite roms. I hope you understand what you have to do now . But please follow these steps carefully :good: .
Remember don't flash KitKat recovery over lolipop recovery otherwise you got bootloop. Old recovery means suppose if you have now twrp v 3.1 just simply flash v2.8 then after wiping things you want , then simply flash twrp v 3.1 .
If you still have any doubt you can contact me via WhatsApp - +91 9205097520 (indian no. ) or simply reply me on xda or simply mail me at - [email protected] . And at last don't forget to tell me about your device problem .

Gt i9506 10 gb used by system after flashing.

hello there!
some months ago i tried a custom firmware on my 9506 (i think that was the first version of arya mod) but i didnt kinda like it so i downloaded again the stock fw and flashed it back.
i did my typicall "download the basic apps" routine and on the 4th app an "insufficient storage available" message appeared on my screen and i was like "lol whats wrong?" i checked on and i found that 10.6Gb was used by system.
Well i thought that i downloaded maybe a bugged stock rom and i didnt have the free time at the time to check whats wrong so i decided to live with it till i find some spare time to check it again.
Yesterday i downloaded and flashed the lineage os fw and i was sure that this would fix the problem...but...well it didnt..still 10.6 used by system.
i tried wipe EVERYTHING (dalvik/cache/system/internal) and reflashed again but still nothing,i flashed again the stock rom,still nothing, i searched online but i didnt find a solution, i downloaded diskusage app to see where are those 10gbs but i couldnt figure out where they where.
So if anyone knows anything or had the same or similar problem it would be great if he/she write here and give a solution or some tips.
Thanks in advance
Try format data from recovery.

is there any other way to completly format it ? if so,then how i can do it?

Try flashing the stock ROM together with a PIT file
i fixed it guys
i flashed again cwm recovery and i formated EVERYTHING from there and then reflashed again the rom and gapps and that fixed the problem.
Thanks for your help !
For the record, CWM's incremental backup feature was what I believe was stealing your space. If you still have CWM on that device, make sure to set the default nandroid backup format to ".tar" instead of ".dup", clear out your nandroid backups, clear all the allocated space, and then upgrade to the latest version of TWRP.
CWM hasn't been updated in a few years now and has difficulty installing modern ROMs.
you are right i think.
if i recall corectly when i flashed that rom back then before the problem appeared, i used cwm recovery so yeah maybe thats the main reason that this happened.
i allready set the default backup to .tar and cleared out all the nandroid backups and i allready use TWRP now.
thanks for the tip mate!

TWRP on S8+ Oreo Exp9. Error message: Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)

TWRP on S8+ Oreo Exp9. Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)
Never have had this problem on TWRP before. Neither on my S6E, S7E and S8+ , always updated on latest firmware, rooted and with perfect TWRP.
Until now ..... with latest OREO/exp 9 update .... . Cant make any backup / restore for _ Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)_
How I did try it (for almost two days):
1:Flash G955FXXU1CRB7/ G950FXXU1CRAP (samfirm and WRoid) with odin 3.13.1 / 3.12.3 and Prince
2:Flash TWRP 3.2.1-0 latest
3:Format Data ( yes) + also tried Wipe Data, and Internal Data, Dalvik & Cache
4: Reboot recovery and Flash no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.0
5:Flash Magisk 16 , later on also tried 15.3
6:Reboot
7. Setup and phone works fine
but when booting into Twrp afterwards and try to make f.e. a backup get a "Failed to mount '/data' (No such process)" notice .
Already Tried:
differet odins, firmwares , magisks , partitioning SD, re-formating micro SD ext 3 / ext 4
always same error message after rebooring and never can "mount data" afterwards .
HELP .
Tnx in advance ,
El
here is a person who said that you have to stay 1 week without shutdown phone if y want twrp work with no costumed rom but y can use costumed rom no wipe needed
It's a problem with Magisk. You need to flash a custom kernel or use SuperSU instead of Magisk.
I'm having same issue have tried all of all of that already also have tried going into advanced wipe changing file system, it bring up the /data and will work to flash files but as soon as you reboot it goes back to failing. I'm getting fed up with restoring my phone and adjusting all my settings and apps everytime
Any help would be much appreciated

How can I install supersu without wiping my data and having to restore again, I tried the magisk uninstaller but TWRP can't read /data. Also I tried to Download notorious kernel but I can't seem to get the link to download
I have the same problem. Formatted data multiple times, always the same problem, as OP described it. Is RMM state really the problem here? Or has anybody tried it with SuperSU instead of Magisk? I'm really tired of setting up my phone all over again...

Just tried it with SuperSU, doesn't work either.
after so many tests I discovered that twrp can read and write data only if you flash last supersu beta, magisk and supersu official both doesn't work:

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

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.

If I want to create a backup after all that, it doesn't work cause of the unable to mount /data and /storage.

Phone not accessable after trying to install Custom Rom

Hi,
so i've tried to root my phone and then to install a custom rom. the root went without any problem. After the root, i tried to install lineage OS 16.0 and followed this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-7/development/rom-lineageos-16-0-t3923203
i downloaded the rom and gapps, put them on my root directory of my phone and then i wiped System,Cache ,Data, Internal Storage and Format Data. After wiping, the roms were gone, so i rebooted and transfered them again into the root directory. Then, i went onto installing (just like i did with magisk) but an error occurred saying:
E: String resource 'zip_compatible_err' not found. Using default value.
Zip Treble compatibility error!
Invalid zip file format!
Error installing zip file '....'
Updating partition details...
...done
Ok. So then, i tried to install another Custom Rom so i went for Oxygen OS, it actually did install but then i couldn't boot into it because it was telling me there was an 'Android System Error'. Ok, back in TWRP, i wiped everything and then i tried to install the Original ROM but i got the same error as above.
For now i tried to download the miFlasher tool but it only wants to download some driver and it literally takes forever.
Hope you can help me...

Those recoveries are old.. Use orange fox recovery 10.0-2 it will work and format data then install rom.

@BlackGarnett
Thanks, that help me on a quick one!
@loseyourself
Also thank you for this advice, i'm new to rooting smartphones and install cfw since i was using iPhone for the past few years.
But now i got another new question: if i use orange fox recovery and i run a backup with it (i think there will be an option to do a backup), then i format all data and internal storage, can i still recover from the backup or will it be deleted?
thanks again!

When u make a backup to internal all is lost after format it. Orangefox put files on the internal sd. After format reboot recovery in the option section and flash again Orangefox.
