Hi,
I made a backup (system, data, boot) with TWRP on my S4 Mini. After that I wanted to encrypt my phone. This didn't go well. After the reboot I got tons of messages saying "... has stopped working". Nothing worked. After that I restored my backup.
Unfortunately some data is corrupt. I did some reading and I suspect, that the encryption process touched all files in /data/media. I didn't know that the TWRP backup does not backup files in that folder. Is this the reason why some data is lost or am I missing something else here?

My sister installed her work eMail which enabled Encryption (I believe only on the Data Partition).
She does not really care about having her work email, so we removed it.
But that still leaves everything Encryted.
After Googling Around it appears you need the Factory RUU to get the Phone Back to Stock.
But that is not availble yet.
Does anyone know a way to either Flash a ROM or Take the Encryption Off.
We tried both TWRP and CW Recovery and neither can do a Backup because they cannot Mount Data.
Any suggestions welcome.
I'm personally on a Sprint HTC One
Perform a factory reset or boot into recovery (I am not sure about the HTC One stock recovery but I did this with my Galaxy S3) and format the /DATA partition.
Use titanium backup to backup all system data and user apps + data to sdcard, copy backup folder off to a computer, factory reset, copy the backup from PC to sdcard, then restore.

This worked. CW Recovery Failed. But TWRP worked. It got a whole bunch of failures until the last step that it formatted data. Then I ran it again with no errors.
I was a little surprised formatting DATA now includes the internal SD drive, that really sucks.
Thanks
Hi,
I installed Greenify and hibernated some apps and thereafter the phone restarted on its own and is stuck in the RevoltJB logo screen.
I've tried almost everything, from taking the battery out, clearing dalvick cache and flashing the RevoltJB rom again but it's not booting.
I've made a nandroid copy to the Sd Card, system / app, data files say complete but then when it's backing up the music/videos/pics it fails. Not enough memory.
Does that mean that the nandroid backup of system apps (sms/call logs) and my sisters apps/data (whatsapp message history) haven't been backed up?
I also made a internal copy and that seemed to backup everything. Hardly any pics or music on internal memory, plus it had 8gb free.
Does that mean that both the internal and sd card backup the same things?? And can I factory reset and reinstall the RevoltJB rom and then using titanium backup get back her whatsapp messages, her sms and call logs not to mention her stupid level 50 candycrush data?
Please can someone tell me if I've been able to make a successful nandroid backup on either the sd (even if it only backed up system/apps) or internal memory and whether I have any chance of a recovery of her sms, whatsapp and candycrush data.
PS if i reinstall jb rom it won't delete my nandroid backup will it...?
Thank you for your replies in advance. I'm going crazy because she's in tears, so please can someone help me.

You don't need to worry much after making the nandroid backup you can safely wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and reflash the ROM, also along with TB try using the app nandroid manager to restore the apps,call logs, contact's etc. from the previous nandroid backup, and be careful to not format /sdcard partition its where all your data like your music,videos, nandroid backup, and other data is kept.
Hmmm seems you don't use your internal SD card much, and making a backup anywhere is not problem it will be the same thing done twice whether it be in the internal or the external SD card, just try to make a successful backup by freeing up some space, also if you have the patience to read a lot try using Aroma file manager to manually handle the required files like the contact database and stuff, though I would advice a noob to hold off until he's more experienced.

Stop being melodramatic. Bricked phones don't boot. At all
I think you froze a system app....look at @MistahBungle 's signature and read what it says.
Do a factory reset and a ROM reflash.This is the only thing you can do.And yes,all her messages and game data will be gone (you can maybe extract them manually from the Nandroid backup)
Hi guys please help.
I upgraded from 4.1.2 to kitkat neatrom based on slimrom.
I was going to do new nandroid backup, wiped my 2 newest to make space and then was going to do a nandroid backup but forgot as was distracted. Installed the new rom, I was aware of the new naming scheme for the fodlers and assumed it would be automatically handled or at least my data still accessible in old folders.
It seems the following has happened.
All my titanium backups wiped.
contacts/sms/call log backup data etc. wiped
Any existing files, including photos etc. in data dir wiped.
is this a known problem?
or is it not wiped and they got moved somewhere?
I have not lost everything still have some nandroid backups but none now that recent. I take blame for forgetting to do the nandroid backup but I am hoping is at least a way to recover the data that was on my sdcard.
further information.
some data is intact for example I have recording from easy voice recorder pro, yet other folders like pictures, titanium backup, ringtones all old data is gone.
All my titanium backups wiped.
contacts/sms/call log backup data etc. wiped

>>>NO its not a problem.
or is it not wiped and they got moved somewhere?
>>>>They did not get moved but its possible you failed to read the faqs and guides first .Lost Data 0

Hello all, I hope you're having a nice day!
Today I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300, and flashed CWM. I then installed Titanium Backup and attempted to back up all my app data, after which I attempted to do a Nandroid backup. After that I flashed CM onto my phone, and tried to get all of my apps and app data back however, it seems I didn't back my app data up properly since not all of my apps have reinstalled and the ones that have seem to not have my data in them. I think this is because when I attempted to backup, the backup directory was set as somewhere in storage by default, so it seems I saved all my app stuff onto the internal storage then wiped it. I tried to do a Nandroid restore, however when I attempt to do so, the message "No Files Found" comes up. I believe this may be because I backed up into internal storage again. Does this mean I've deleted my Nandroid backup as well? Or could I get it back and properly backup my app data?
Thanks for reading, I would really appreciate help.
long story short: just to assure myself for everything to go smoothly while installing Lineage OS 14.2 i stupidly decided to tick the 'system' box on factory reset for TWRP along with the standard data, cache and dalvik. now i tried to system restore the backup i have on my sd card and it says error 225 at the end and its stuck on boot!
what have i done wrong? can you no longer restore if you tickbox the 'system' thing; does the backup option not backup literally everything? did my files corrupt? will the 'format data' option (deleting everything on internal storage), then trying to restore fix it? HELP.
phone is a Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 (J320fn) fwiw
