twrp restore bootloop

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
Solved, flashed the vendor the the phone booted up. can somebody please write what you can backup up in twrp so i know to not bootloop again, thank you.

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.

OnePlus 6T Bootloop Help!

So I was using a certain root app and it told me to enable Magisk Core mode and reboot. I did that, and my phone was in a bootloop. So I wen't to TWRP and flashed stock ROM zip. Rebooted and it was still bootlooping.
So I took a TWRP Backup of all partitions, and then wiped system fully and flashed stock ROM. Still bootlooping. So I did a factory reset and wiped system as well, keeping internal storage. Then I flashed stock ROM zip and rebooted - it fixed it, but was factory reset. So I went back into TWRP and restored the data partition. Unfortunately, I got the TarFork Error 255 when restoring. I saw on google that you need to setup Android first to restore. Rebooted to go into Android but it took me to TWRP, and this time didn't ask for decryption password. I went to internal storage and everything was encrypted. I don't remember exactly what I did next but now I'm in fastboot with no TWRP recovery, and when I do fastboot boot twrp.img I get this error: "FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')"
Can anyone help me recovery from this and possibly get my internal storage back, or at least installed apps. I can provide TWRP restore log as well: https://del.dog/ivugupemeq

Have you tried the MSM Download Tool to restore the device yet? I'm leaning towards that honestly.

(Double post, ignore this)
Got it fixed by flashing full stock ROM in fastboot without wiping, so userdata was recovered, and then restored app data from the TWRP nandroid backup in Titanium backup

Damn don't even have this phone anymore lol
I think I used the fastboot ROMs from an xda post but when it asks you to wipe or not I clicked no, and then I booted to Android and apps data can be restored from a nandroid backup in titanium backup, just search to find that feature, instead of restoring the data backup in twrp

MIUI backup doesn't boot up after restoring through TWRP

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

Internal Storage Decryption problem

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.

Error 255 when restoring a TWRP backup

Hello,
when I try to restore my TWRP backup of Lineage 17 on my Samsung Galaxy A5 2016 I run into the
extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255​issue, and have tried several methods which I have found when googling for fixes, but none has worked so far.
This is what I've tried:
- unmount the data partition before restoring backup
- just restore system, data and boot, tick off the others
- wiped data/system/cache, flashed rom+gapps, flashed backup with all sections activated (radio, system, data,...)
- wiped data/system/cache, flashed rom+gapps, flashed backup with only restoring system, data+boot
- wiped data/system/cache, flashed rom+gapps, wiped dalvik/cache after, flashed backup w/ only restoring system, data+boot
- wiped data/system/cache, flashed rom+gapps, reboot, clicking next on every configuration screen, reboot to recovery, restore only data from backup
The issue seems to always occur at the same point in the process, in the progress bar its either at ca 45% or 58%, depending on if only data or everything is supposed to be restored. Restoring everything _BUT_ the data partition works, but the stuff I need to access is the data.
Kind regards
Hello,
I managed to fully restore the backup follwing this guide
Now my phone boots up to the point right after the Lineage logo is shown, where it says "starting the phone" and would probably ask for sim pin if I had a sim card in it. Then it reboots and does the whole thing again.
Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Kind regards
