Hey guys, i'm at the latest Chinese TWRP (but same issue happen with the latest Russian one).
I can nanodroid backup fine, but EVERY TIME i restore it give error 255 on data and another error on System restore.
Backup is useless.
I tried to format data in case it was a encryption issue (i even take off the screen lock before make the backup to have no encryption password), nothing work.
This is a BIG issue, anyone can help? I can't stand to format data if something go wrong, titanium backup and do a lot of stuff to re set everything as i like EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Ok i found the answer.
I did wipe data but i had to format data. Now it restored fine.
But i have another question now, since i restored data that was before i formated the data partition (so encrypted i guess) would i need to always format data as it restored the encryption or it has nothing to do?
i have same 255 problem . exactly i dont understand how you fix problem ? before restore your backup do you format data or wipe everything ?
Before restore .i format data after i wipe everything . when i try restore then i get 255 error.
i used pda twrp
i found this but not try yet

The backup must be corrupted then.

Hi i tried to restore my Dirty unicorns backup and now i am stuck at the google screen. I booted to twrp and tried to erase the efs but it didn't work, still stuck at google screen. Also if I recollect i did not backup and restore the efs partition so i don't know what else it could be i did backup the vendor and the rest. Using twrp 3.1.0.0

To backup your current setup:
Boot
System
Data
Vendor
Is enough
Just in case: https://twrp.me/faq/whattobackup.html
If you switch to another ROM, wipe the above + dalvik/ART cache, data and cache partitions.
Then flash whatever you want with matching vendor. Redo the complete wipe above and restore your backup if you want to switch back. Backup your EFS at least once and keep it in a safe place...
Hopefully you won't end up bootlooping anymore! :good:
I have never succussfully restored a nandroid backup on this phone with any version of TWRP. I don't even try anymore because it's just a waste of disc space and time.

Hi. I accidentaly changed file system of data partition to EXT4 and now when I try to restore my backup I get a warning that the backup was done with f2fs file system. The problem is that TWRP is not showing up the f2fs option when I go to change file system menu. Any help?
Thanks!
I think you can restore the data anyway? I backed up my ext4 data partition, formatted it as f2fs and then restored the backup and it gave me the warning but it worked anyway. If it doesn't let you proceed, reflash TWRP and try again.

Yes i could restore it but it worries me that I can't keep the original stock filesystem. I never changed it and I would like to have it as it was, there must be a reason it is f2fs and not ext4.

It is a stock backup.
Thanks for your replies.
Hi, I am trying to make a nandroid backup using twrp on my LG G6 H870, but I am unable to do so as the data fails to be mounted. I have tried to repair the partition using twrp but I just get an error 8 and I don't know what that means. If someone could help, that would be great. I am doing this so that I can safely restore to the stock rom from HavocOS.
Thanks

After restoring pixel experience backup my phone got stuck at the MI logo. Then I restored MIUI 9 backup and then after the MI logo, it says "Encryption was interrupted" and I have to factory reset my phone. Is there any solution? I want to go to the backup state. I don't want to reset my phone.
Bro try this I think it will , as I tried it work perfectly.
1. Install the rom which u have backup and want to recover data that ROM .
2. After installation go to restore and
And select
Tick to data to restore only data from that backuy .
And flash this .
This will backup your data perfectly ?

Boot to twrp and "format data" from wipe section and then restore your old backup.
Hi.
I have huge problem. I have Redmi Note 7 with xiaomi.eu (Last stable MIUI 10 version). Today I decided to update it to latest version (MIUI 11). Before it, I made backup via TWRP and then perform update. Update successfull. I thought that I prefer MIUI 10 so in TWRP perform wipe dalvic and cache and make restore backup. Backup succesfull. But... System wont boot up. In TWRP I cant see internal storage (0MB), TWRP ask for decryption password but the password from unlocking phone doesnt work. I dont know what to do. I dont want to lose my data. I found info that OrangeFOx recovery could be helpful so I flashed OrangeFox recovery. But it also ask for password.
Help please.

You're out of luck. You need to format your data partition - and you will lose your data and all the contents of your internal storage.

Is there any way to backup storage eg. via adb or something and try later to restore it?
EDIT
I performed wipe, install latest android. Data is gone. I found some windows apps to restore data after factory reset via adb. I'll try this in next week

Good luck!
PS: if your original MIUI 10 backup included /data, then you should be able to restore the data after formatting, flashing a fresh copy of the MIUI 10 ROM, booting the ROM, and then, booting back to recovery and restoring the data backup. But the content of your internal storage is gone forever (if you didn't back it up before).
Unfortunately I lost all my data (mainly photos). I'll buy microsd to store data and backups.
