I screwed up and flashed a new rom without thinking I needed a certain text message. The rom flashed but I didn't do a factory reset in hopes I could get my text. I can see the texts but my phone boot loops. Is there any way through cwm to mount the /data folder in the internal memory and save the .db file for my messages?
This is important stuff its a strippers phone number lol
Do SMS backup apps work to get the data?
Another option is if your /data partition is intact, flash your old rom back, get your messages, flash new rom

Thanks I used miui back up none of the other ones would work my install was too messed up
Okay, so I've been flashing ROMs on Safestrap, everything is going great.
What I'm worried about is that I made a full backup before enabling Safe System. Later on I decided I was confident enough that I didn't need the full backup, as the device would go back to normal after disabling SS.
Is this right? Even though I deleted my Nandroid backup (I did NOT delete the file under /orig), will it restore to stock upon disabling SS? I seem to think it does, as I remember having done this without making full backups before.
I'm just wondering!
Bump!
I just want to know if it's okay to toggle Safe System off without having a Nandroid. Thank you
Yes you can toggle without a full nandroid. When toggling back and forth, safestrap just makes a backup of /data on the current partition, then restores the backup of /data of the partition you are going to.
Hi, I'm new to the N9, I've noticed that vendor image is available for backup now in TWRP. Is it necessary to backup vendor image? Or just continue backing up boot, system and data as always.
Thanks, very much

I don't know, I noticed TWRP leaves it unchecked so I assume it doesn;t need backing up. I am interested in getting an answer too though.
The /vendor partition would only need backing up if you manually made changes to it yourself (for instance, if you use Layers). Otherwise, you can just use the vendor.img from the factory image if you need to restore /vendor

Hi,
I've found an additional partition while taking nandroid backup in TWRP. It's called "System Image" and is about 5GB.
I didn't find anything useful on google, but this post here seems to be related https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z-play/help/4gb-firmware-partition-twrp-t3520886 .
I guess it's a factory / stock rom backup ?
Is it useful for anything / can it be booted somehow from recovery ?
If not (and because I'm quite sure, I wont return to stock): Is it possible, to reclaim/repartition that space for data ?
Hi. I hope this is the proper place to post this. I've been away from playing with phones for almost 5 years (Couldn't even remember my password here!) due to being very busy with my business. So I feel like a total noob again!
I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and rooted my Oneplus Nord N10 5g using TWRP and Magisk. Now, before I go any further I want to take a Nandroid backup. Do they still even call it that?
In the unlocking and rooting process there were dire warnings about not formatting certain partitions. I would have to refer back to my notes to see which ones but that is irrelevant to my question right now.
I boot to TWRP, go to backup and I have the following options: Metadata, Boot, Recovery, Data, Modem, EFS, and Super. Is it safe to backup and restore all of these? I have no intentions at this time of installing a custom kernel, eventually some different rom's maybe. I'm just looking for a complete backup where I can restore the entire phone in the event of a total fail.
Thanks, and it's great to be back playing with phones again!
So it seems a lot changed with Android 11. The partition Super is now a partition that contains other partitions if I read correctly. If I include all partitions in the backup, would it be safe to restore them all? Or is the Super partition the container for all the other ones? And if so, is that what I need to backup for a full nandroid backup? Really need to figure this out before I flash any other rom's to it.
