My phone was stuck in a bootloop where it could only get to recovery. Using the recovery I created a nandroid backup to the a USB stick using an OTG cable. I flashed the stock firmware and got things setup but I can't restore individuals apps from the nandroid. I copied the nandroid from the usb to sd card but it still doesn't work. I tried restoring apps using Nandroid Manager but when the app is launched it gives the error "app has stopped, close app". For some reasons sms succesfully restored but no user apps. I tried restoring with AppExtractor but it gives the error "unable to generate apk listing"
I also have titanium backup pro but couldn't get it to find the location of the nandroid to try extracting with it.
Any ideas? I really just want my messages back from Whatsapp.
My phone had stock Nougat with busybox installed and elementalx kernel. It should be the same environment now as when the backups were made.
@twoplustwo can you tell us why your phone went into bootloop ? If you know then you can restore /data from TWRP and revert the cause of bootloop..
Also can you confirm it's in capital letters as you have mentioned in small letters in another thread that twrp/backups rename them to TWRP/BACKUPS or move them to internal storage.. (in stock ROM if i am not wrong, TWRP folder is not accessible, so try to install custom ROM for temporary purpose, then move backup to internal and then try with titanium backup..)

yes it was in capital letters
the problem in the first place that sent the phone into a bootloop was I installed the OTA security update. I'm running stock rom but I guess because it was rooted and had busybox, that made it incompatible with the update?

If you have TWRP and take update, it don't cause bootloop, but it cause your device to boot into recovery when you turn on your device.. can you confirm if it was bootloop or problem of booting to TWRP ?
I am unable to copy the nandroid to internal storage. I tried using usb to computer and it just does nothing. I tried root explorer and it says 'copy failed' and file manager says 'cannot load'. This only happens with the TWRP folder inside the internal memory specifically.

I can confirm it was only booting TWRP. So even when I tried to boot to system it just booted to TWRP again.

You don't need to worry,
Do you have any important data for any app currently ?
Take backup of new important data with titanium.. (and then again take backup from TWRP, for safety )
And then simply restore /data from TWRP backup, it will give you older data back without any bootloop but you will loose new data/messages that you got after flashing/ on current running ROM..

Thank you sir! To confirm, when backing up to USB stick with OTG, does the format of the USB matter? Is fat32 safe?

Not familiar with different formats, it should work.. bu t
You can backup to internal storage too, since you don't have to flash fastboot ROM again..

Hi,
I had a problem with my NDT miui nand buil recently, it was sticking on boot animation, so I made a backup via cwm, I saved the backup folder on my pc. Now I want to restore that backup. I tried all the usual methods for it, I did tas29, flashed new clk, and tried backup, still stuck on boot animation, I flashed my last rom and then tried to restore the backup, again stuck on boot animation. I did everything for it, but doesn't works for me. It does the restore process as usual, but I wan't to boot, my phone stuck in boot animation. So I beg you to help me with one of these alternatives, please.
-I only want to restore my contacts, call logs and sms. Anyway to restore them only? there are some .img files in backup folder, which one are these files stored?
-Is there anyway I can extract backups files on my pc and get my contacts,sms,... in it?
-If none of above works, is there anyway to install cwm on pc android emulator, and then restore my backup in it, and again get my contacts,sms there?
I will really be thankful of your helps

Are you using the correct partition size? Too small a partition normally causes the phone to hang at the bootanimation. If you have used the correct partition size and it still doesn't boot, try simply increasing it to account for any bad blocks you may have.
It's also possible that your backup is corrupted somehow, it happened to me once. If this is the case, try flashing the same ROM and then restoring the data partition in CWM.
When you rename backup file do not use spaces (exp. icsromv3)

I don't think that's the problem because if the ROM gets up to the bootanimation (after a Task29) then it's clearly been [somewhat] flashed correctly so it's probably down to the backup itself, or of course an error somewhere on his part.

Come on guys, this is common sense. If he made the backup with the rom ALREADY not booting up, no matter what he does, it'll always stick to the boot animation.
The back-up saves your ROM at its current state, not the one it was working at before. Backups should only be done when your ROM is actually fully functioning, not when it is broken. So unfortunately, you have to do what Nigel Suggested. Make a clean install of that ROM and then only restore the data partition.
You may be able to do the emulator thingy, but I'm not sure, you can give it a shot though.
For extracting something from your backup see appextractor or nandroid browser

Hello,
I just S-Off using sunshine and flashed TWRP recovery. I am still running stock rom and everytime I try and backup through TWRP the backup fails on system image. Does anyone know why that would be happening. I don't want to do any new rom installs without a solid backup. Thanks

If you're trying to backup to sdCard instead of Internal it will continue to malfunction.
Til something changes, you can backup to Internal and set it to compress the backup so you don't run out of room.
If backing it up doesn't work, you can always use an RUU. As long as you can get into the bootloader, an RUU will fix any problem by flashing the official firmware.

Haven't tried that, but it would probably work. Thing is, TWRP won't see it on the SDCard, so it would have to go back into Internal if you needed to restore it.
Hello,
i need help. I messed up my phone while trying to repair my only read mode system partition after boot.
Current state:
Phone CAN-L11 with EU Firmeware and working TWRP Recovery.
I did a full wipe, but have no data partition to restore, because this couldn´t be saved with twrp while i made my first nand backups during no read access to data partition.
My phone always shows 2 times the huawei logo and then boot in erecovery from huawei where i tried to restore, but it shows always "fail to get data" (wifi works).
When i restore all partitions backups that i own via twrp i miss the data partition (is the cause why it wont boot - isn´t it?)
Now i searched for any img that i can use to get my phone working again - anyone has a tip what img i could use (i have a huawei update extractor) - through twrp or fastboot.
Could anyone help me with a twrp backup or a img file of data partition - or has another tip how to get my phone working again?
Thanks for tips!

I think that you need a system.img, so you can flash. This system imagem would write everything you need, so you can boot normally.
Have you tried to dowload @bluesmoothie backup from dropbox from the Root and Recovery post?

I restored my system from twrp (original first save). But that did not help.
After that i loaded the can-L11c432 update.zip from huawei and extracted with others the system.img - that also did not help to boot.

@merlin21 yes it sounds like my problem after I tried to flash the emui5 beta.
My phone is fully working again with the backup I posted.
This is not the Chinese version, if nothing works, you can try the caz ROM. But there are massive problems with the gapps, they are not included in the rom.

That didn't do the trick for a while, or I might have forgotten a step, but deselecting CUST did the trick.
Thanks for the tip!
Although, maybe flashing the Cust partition I found in one of the two upgrade zips via fastboot might have helped? I dunno...
But in short, for those who haven't followed through, here's what I did, but I'm not sure this is why it worked:
1. Bricked my device : be sad;
2. DLed all the posted Nandroid backup on this thread and others;
3. With fastboot, reflashed TWRP from Xelfmade using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img";
4. Flashed the CUST.img I found in the UPDATE.APP of the update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip; or maybe the other, only one of the two seem to have it; I extracted it using Huawei Firmware Extractor; using "fastboot flash cust cust.img";
5. Created a "fake" backup to create the right folder structure on my SD (TWRP Couldn't see the backups) and put the Nandroid Backups I DLed earlier in it;
6. Reboot in TWRP and Restore all partitions except CUST;
7. Reboot, sweat, wait, cry, roll on the floor in fear, heard the huawei startup sound, cried as if it was my first born child;
8. Setup the fone and profit; then enjoy Nova goodness;
92.324. and probably most important, TWRP BAAAACKUUUUP!!!!!

Frankly, I don't know. I had not modified the partitions prior to bricking my phone, so I think the partitioning was OK. However, I think one of the TWRP availble in this forum can format Data partition properly, which would utlimately allow you to select which File Format you want. I haven't tried it myself, and I haven't been able to do much with TWRP since I flashed Lineage unfortunately. Most of my Mods were just upgrading and I had to ADB Sideload pretty much everything since I flashed Lineage...
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that!

First of all, you know that will trigger Knox and you will lose your warranty. There are some other implications of that, are you sure you've read them all? If you have no problems with those things, things are pretty much the same as on every other phone and twrp.
I know it will trigger Knox, and that's ok. This is a temporary device until Galaxy 8.
I put TWRP on the phone, now it won't boot, and got lots of words when trying to backup in TWRP.
That's why I asked.
what does it say when you try to back up.
You may have your phone encrypted that why the back up is not working.
You may need to remove the encryption to get it working properly.
You can also use smart switch to make a back up to be used in case of issues.

First no verity and supersu after, according to the article. By formatting data you won't lose your apps, just data on sd card (internal memory). The rest is on system partition
On, last time, did I get this right, from stock rom, do this
Install TWRP, then SU (I don't want SU) backup, should this work? It's says lots of error in data...
So once again from clean, what do I have to do?
Install TWRP, then what? Want to backup all apps I mean a full NANDROID backup.
Still no, after TWRP it won't boot.
Directly after TWRP it's says something bad "/data"
Then tried to run run the decrypt, still no no
Please anyone, help, it won't boot after TWRP...

If you thought you could install twrp and do a backup of the stock phone you were wrong, twrp can't read the data partition since its encrypted, you have to format data and then you can do a backup, but since there's nothing there then there's no point.

Hi,
I've flashed TWRP for a sm-G900f via heimdall, booted into TWRP-Recovery, made an backup from the working Stock ROM to sd card, flashed lineage open gapps etc., all works well.
Because of somtimes not working Sensors I've tried to test if the sensor problem is an hardware or an software issue, so recovered the stock rom backup using the installed twrp 3.2.1-0. Therefor I've made these steps :
Boot into recovery
Wipe cache, system, davlink-cache, format data
restore the stock rom backup
reboot
Every reboot results in booting to recovery, Samsung system won't start.
Tried to disconnect battery for a few minutes etc.
Where is my mistake ? Could someone give me an advice ?
Every restore of the lineage backups using this way works well.

Hi,
I've flashed TWRP for a sm-G900f via heimdall, booted into TWRP-Recovery, made an backup from the working Stock ROM to sd card, flashed lineage open gapps etc., all works well.
Because of somtimes not working Sensors I've tried to test if the sensor problem is an hardware or an software issue, so recovered the stock rom backup using the installed twrp 3.2.1-0. Therefor I've made these steps :
Boot into recovery
Wipe cache, system, davlink-cache, format data
restore the stock rom backup
reboot

Corrupted backup maybe?
A long time ago I made a backup of stock and was able to go back and forth with no issues. You can try and go back to stock, root again and try another back up.
Corrupted backup ? It's the only one I've made after flashing TWRP and before installing Lineage.

It happens sometimes, I had an SD card with a bad sector so every time I would make a back up it would get corrupted if I deleted the back up. I ended up leaving the backup so it will no longer write on the bad sectors.

I think, you have to flash or restore the right kernel.
Which partitions have you backed up?
Sorry for the late response, the backup includes in my mind system, data and boot partition because the backup consit's of the following files:
boot.emmc.win
boot.emmc.win.sha2
data.ext4.win
data.ext4.win.sha2
data.info
recovery.log
system.ext4.win000
system.ext4.win000.sha2
system.ext4.win001
system.ext4.win001.sha2
system.info
