So... I installed LOS & it all went fine, but when I restored my MIUI backup with TWRP, the phone is stuck on the very first boot screen (on which it says Redmi by Xiaomi) & won't move any further. I've wiped the system, data & boot partitions yet no luck. What could be wrong? I want to go back to MIUI to backup my apps
it happened to me too.
when i done updating my device to newer nightly update, i got stuck on twrp decrypt data password. trying to restore back to miui, but then getting stuck on the very first boot screen.
i got no luck when trying several times restoring twrp recovery and miui, so i stay in LOS with no other options.
if someone could help please show me the guide.
thanks

I tried restoring a nandroid backup on my phone and have been having trouble ever since. Upon restoring my nandroid backup, I restarted my phone but I couldn't get past the Samsung Splash Screen. So I started troubleshooting:
1) I restarted my phone, booted into recovery (TWRP), and wiped Dalvik Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. I then tried restoring my nandroid backup again. However, upon rebooting the device, I still couldn't get past the splash screen.
2) I installed Heimdall for Mac (like Odin) and flashed the latest TWRP recovery.img (openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.1-jfltexx.tar). I tried to restore the nandroid again, but I still couldn't get past the splash screen.
3) I tried doing a fresh install of cm10.2 stable and still nothing.
Please, any help or direction would be awesome
Attempt 1 to install Lineage
Tried installing the Lineage 14.1, it kept doing a blank-but-illuminated screen, then turned off and back on, resulting in a boot loop.
We tried a couple of things - first the more conservative wiping of just data, dalvik and cache.
This did the boot loop described above. I then restored the stock backup and all was well.
Attempt 2 to install Lineage
The second time we wiped the system partition in addition to the above. Same bootloop.
Went to restore the backup of stock again, but now it's getting stuck at "I'm not a phone I'm a comprehensive yada yada" screen. It never progresses past this.
Attempts to get Stock Restore working
We've tried restoring just the system, data and dalvik
We've also tried System Image in addition to these.
No joy.
We don't have a laptop or other device to hand for a few days so we have just what's on the phone - the Lineage 14.1 zip, the stock backup and TWRP.
Any ideas how we can get back to a working phone with either OS?
What type of LePro3 do you have?
X720,X722,X727?
It's the X722

The X722 model is not supported by Lineage.
I think that you have a problem. Hope anyone can help you to go back to stock successfully.
When doing the stock restore, we didn't restore the boot image.
Is that something worth trying?

That is great. So, is bluetooth works fine after that?
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?
I had AOSPEX room on my sm-g530w 8.1 Oreo with restored efs, modem and firmware from stock backup, but after not enjoying the experience I tried to switch to Resurrection Remix 7.1.2 nougat, also with restored efs, firmware and modem.
On the first boot I realized it was a boot loop as it kept on vibrating after certain intervals of time. I decided to switch back to stock rom and restore a backup I made, but it kept giving me error 255. I gave up and reflashed AOSPEX room without restoring efs and other partitions. None of the reboot options worked as no matter where I wanted to boot (power off, download mode), it brought me back to twrp. I then tried to force reboot my device and at a first glance it seems to work. Should I restore the partitions again, and how screwed is my device?
So I've tried with a few different roms including the official 8.1 oreo, lineage OS 15 and 16 and a few other custom pie/oreo roms. Installed everything normal, latest TWRP version tried both full disk encryption and FBE based TWRP's and roms and although the backup and restore process doesnt show any error upon reboot it either goes directly to TWRP or shows the boot image of the restored rom for a few seconds then shuts down and boots up to TWRP again. Any ideas on whats wrong? Factory resetting at this point doesn't help it work.
Would appriciate any insight on this, I've tried so many roms now with f2fs as well as fde file systems, both encrypted and unencrypted and none of the nandroid backups I make using the latest TWRP or TWRP-FBE depending have worked at all. I am able to make the backup and restore it, no errors but it will never boot up, always either boot loop or stuck on Google logo screen.
Now I just can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong with this phone, I've formatted and reinstalled a bunch of times with latest Magisk root, last two roms I tried with android 9 was RR 7.2 and AICP weeklies, and before that the stock 8.1 from google none of which could be restored from nandroid backup. On my other phones I have TWRP backup/restore function working no problem, so I know how to use the UI with sucess.
Anyone come across anything for this maybe?
