Hi! I have a Leeco Le Max 2 X829, and as there aren´t any official stock ROM I wanna save a 100% stock Backup of my X829 with 16S USA ROM. I mean ROM + Recovery, just as it is unpacked(without downloaded Apps and my data).
Could I make it booting in temporaly TWRP with fastboot and doing NAND backup choosing:
- Boot
- Recovery
- System
- Data...
Any other option? All options that TWRP show? thanks!
Yes. EFS too
Turn on phone with power+volume keys.
Fastboot boot TWRP.img

Then must I choose all options in TWRP backup?
One more thing... I Will be in a booted Recovery, so original Recovery is going to be still, then the one saved in the backup Will be the booted one ore the stock one? Thanks!
If you just want a factory setup without your apps and data I would say just backup the system image in twrp, backing up data definitely uncheck .
Only system is bit to less...
I would keep the us version.
eUI is not that bad and until we all get the update to android 7 ... it s probably the best and most stable rom running.
Why change it, when the other opportunities are leading to an less smooth running phone ?
To me all the cooked roms have disadvantages.
I need to have a fully working phone/ camera /fingerprint sensor...
without option to go back to the US rom I wouldn't change a thing!

Mmm, then all options least Data? Thanks!
Don't listen to them. Back up everything. Who cares about a few space? Besides data is probably empty or with a few stock tools. Just backup all for your complete image. EFS contains IMEI and other stuff. It is important to have it. You can Back up everything, and then move it to a computer or somewhere else
It will have stock recovery backed up to TWRP and it's better if you backup as image, that way it saves the partition structures too.
Only first backup as image,to have perfect copy, the next backups you do is better do them as normal backups compressed (not image).

Hi, I have done and it made a lot of .win archives, is that right? thanks
Yes those are md5 or Sha sums, drag the whole TWRP folder to computer and you are good to go, don't change any name of any folder inside TWRP folder or TWRP will never detect that backup.
I don't know why but once I copied all except 73shf38 folder, and it turned out that folder with those numbers matter, and I couldn't restore without the exact name

I use the Elelinux Froyo 2.2.1. It runs nice!
Yesterday, I was listening to MP3's unil the battery went down.
Now, the HTC Hero is in a bootloop.
I wiped the Dalvik-cache, but no luck.
Is there a way to recover and keep most of my data?
Make a nanddroid backup, wipe data+cache, flash the ROM, go to restore backup/ advanced restore/yourbackupname and just restore the data partition. That should do it

For other readers: install recovery image from Clockworkmod first.
@kemoba: After flashing the rom, I started the HTC and it works. Than I restored only the data partition of the 'broken' image. After this, the HTC has the bootloop again.
Do you have any tips how to proceed now?
Like I said, some app is corrupting your ROM, your only option is to either get me some logcat so i can see what is wrong with it or to reflash the ROM without restoring the nandroid and installing all your apps all over again

It's no problem to reflash and install the apps, but I typed some info in colornote, tracks in My Tracks and contact and phonenumbers, which I want to have.
I search now with =tools/adb shell= through all dir's on the phone.
Update:
colornote: There backup files on the sdcard. Lets see, if I can find the originals.
If you want you can upload the data.img from the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/backupname folder and i'll extract you your data if you want

Thats nice!!
I am able to extract data myself now. But I cannot find the place, where the contacts are stored. Do you know, where they are?
EDIT:
I was able to start the phone after replacing /data/system/packages.* with a working one. Not all apps are working, but I was able to make a backup of my data.

I dont think it's necessary to back up your contacts.
If you have a google account, it will save them.
And you can get the contacts back after you resynchronize with google.
(However Im not 100% sure)
Can someone tell me how to take a reliable efs backup (on Oneplus X), from which one can restore the partitions safely in case some thing goes wrong?

you need twrp recovery(or anyother recovery) for that. Go to backup option, select EFS and swipe to backup.

You can use TWRP like mentioned before. Or if you first root your device you can use an app like Partitions Backup & Restore in the playstore . And select all things that start with modem. I can also recommend to make a full system backup before flashing any other rom including the persistent partition. Last but not least please put those backups on a computer or on a cloud device. Because the microsd or the internal storage can always be deleted by a fault.
Basically I've had my phone stock firmware for along time with TWRP but want to finally go AOSP. Can I twrp backup, Flash stock recovery, flash open kirin.... And if for some reason I'm not happy, if I reflash TWRP, will my backup still be there??
Doing anything on Huawei is such a pain.
And, why can't open kirin just be flashed in twrp? I would of done it along ago knowing I could just restore.
Thanks!

Backups are saved to /sdcard/, so unless you remove them from Internal Memory (By deleting the TWRP folder or Factory reset) they will still be there.
Please note that going from EMUI to AOSP will require a factory reset, same when you go back to EMUI. So keep a backup of backups on your computer.

a flashable backup?
Well, just copy the TWRP folder at the root of your internal sd. Paste it back when you want to restore backup using the Restore button in TWRP.
Can i use nandroid backups to switch systems
Like to switch back after trying a new rom without pc
If by nandroid you mean TWRP backups, then yes.
Like flash rros and then use the backup to return to stock with all my files and apps?
Yes a nandroid backup (aka twrp backup) saves a snapshot of the system in time so it doesn't matter what you do afterwards, once you restore the backup your device will go back to the same exact spot as it was the time when you'd taken the backup. Also when you often hear ppl say take backup before trying new update/rom/zip, this is exactly what they mean.
And yes you don't need pc as long as you can access your backup through otg USB/memory card etc.

Take care to backup the system image and not system. And use the same version of TWRP for backing up and restoring. Both these are not a must but to be on the safer side.
I have never managed to make a TWRP backup that is actually bootable... No matter what combination of partitions I pick, when I restore the backup it never boots. Am I just dumb or is that a Poco specific issue?
Arey you sure you backup, system image and vendor image and not system and vendor

Thank you for bringing this up..... Never managed to restore successfully... On my other devices this is never a issue... Searched in forums but couldn't find any help.

So I should NOT restore System and Vendor partitions? Do I need to flash the ROM first and then restore on top of that? Should the restore look like this? https://i.imgur.com/QW8NmzG.png
I have the same problem.
I do not know what to select to make a backup, in my other phones I selected everything and made a correct backup, but if I select now a whole ROM of 5GB weighs 12GB
Can someone tell me that I should select to make a backup of the installed ROM with my APPS, regards

My screenshot above worked and restored just fine. Just make sure you disable any lockscreen before backing up!
