Restore TWRP Backup - Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I'm trying to restore a TWRP backup but it won't boot.
SO I restored, flashed the MIUI 10 ROM and it boots but *I cannot root it with magisk nevermind how much I try*.
I tried to flash system -> restore only data, it boots BUT then I hit encryption.
Does it have to do with the encryption? Can I disable it altogether?
Thanks!

Restore from TWRP

HI
after some wrong uninstalling service from my clean miui 9.6.25 global
i tried to restore rom by usual way from twrp.
but when done the pocophono never run to boot only logo screen(waiting atleast 15min which ofcourse is not normal).
has anyone faced that?
do i need to flash ENCRYPT disabler again after restore?:silly:
Come on......!!! cant be only me???!!!heheheh
TWRP is for lifesaver not to trouble as all know
I've found this too.
Encryption shouldn't matter.
Try restoring only one partition at a time to see which is causing the error. I think it's Userdata in my case, but Userdata Image may work.
I've not bothered to investigate why this happens yet.
ok
i will try mate.
thank u!
i will come backup for update
My phone had latest Miui9, then I installed Twrp and backup the Miui9 rom by Twrp.
then I flashed Miui 10, back up it with TWRP.
Then try to restore my Miui 9 Twrp backup, after done the phone boot to Fast boot mode only.
Even tried restore Miui10 still it would boot to fastboot mode only. Flash new rom and reboot it will ask for encryption password.
The fix is need to format data (Wipe > Format data > type yes, after flashed the rom), and reboot it should work.
Yeah, restoring MIUI backups is a real pain... Because of that, I always flash the ROM zip file first, then restore the data only, reboot and it works.

I switch ROMs pretty often and MIUI never booted after restoring.
There's a simple workaround: just reflash MIUI whenever you restored.

Install MIUI zip (with the same system you backed up), then go to restore and just restore data and nothing else. If you used Magisk before, flash it too after restoring. Then reboot. I don't know about Global ROMs as I always use Xiaomi.eu but I think it should work the same way. Oh, and never backup data with a password/pin/fingerprint set because it will not recognise it after reboot and you will have to use TWRP to delete locksettings from /data/system which adds unnecessary steps to this tedious procedure. Good luck.
thank u bro!

Hi, I'm having the same issue.
I get a PIN code. How can I bypass it?
How can I avoid it in the future?
Thanks!
if password promt during boot u have no option other than format data
only lockscreen can be deleted via twrp
I had the same problem in my pocophone and solved it like this:
1. Advanced wipe all data except Internal storage (so you do not lose your data)
1.1 Flash or boot twrp again
2. Install the official rom using the way you know
3. Starts android the first time but without doing the initial configuration of android (I'm not sure if this is necessary but it costs nothing to do it)
4. Through twrp, restores the data but only the options Boot and Data, dont select System
And that's it. I hope it works for you.
I was trying different combinations and I realized that it is the system folder that has a problem when you make the restoring, don't know why.
I was using pocophone with MIUI 10.2.2

URGENT! Can't boot to android, have a backup from TWRP, but TWRP touch is also broken

I wanted to switch back to MIUI from LineageOS, but I forgot to remove Magisk and the operation failed. I tried booting but it went to a bootloop, so I decided to go back to TWRP and flash a backup I had with LineageOS and Magisk already preinstalled. After restoring the backup, trying to boot just sends me straight to fastboot after a while and TWRP touchscreen doesn't work anymore. PLEASE HELP! What can I do?
Flash Unofficial Latest TWRP Via Fastboot.
Wipe Dalvic Catch Data System.
Flash The Rom which You Want.
Flash the stock firmware to restore everything

Forgot to flash DFE, can I flash/restor backup without encryption and remain decrypte

So I just updated my firmware and ROM (RR) and forgot to flash FED/DFE. I have a backup on SD card of previous vendor and ROM img etc. Can I wipe everything and restore that backup, will it be decrypted?
Then proceed to flash updates, this time using FED, will that work? I don't really want to be encrypted...
Cheers
So I managed to flash the old (unencrypted) backup, then re-flashed the new vendor and ROM and hey presto, no more encryption. (just to make sure, I wiped everything then formatted to remove encryption, then flashed backup followed by DFE again, just to be sure)

Question Help with Ofox data restore

Hello, i was using miui.eu 12.5.4 until yesterday. coz of lagging & hanging i thought to try a new custom rom. So, i did backup my "data & boot" partition in latest Ofox recovery before flash another rom.
Now, today i want to again go back to miui.eu rom. So, i flashed,
✓miui.eu 12.5.4
✓Then, Ofox zip (coz flashing miui.eu forced u to install twrp)
Then, reboot to Ofox,
✓Then flash magisk 23
✓Then, restore my previously backedup data
Then restart my phone.
But, it stuck with miui logo. Can anybody tell me, did i do anything wrong?
I did try same steps with back & forth. But, no luck..
update: it's the ofox recovery which have problems. i restored the same data with twrp & boila, its worked & my phone booted with my backed up data...

Thanks for telling us. That is good to know.
But with which ofox did you try (beta or stable)?
And more important with which TWRP did you succeed?
Both were latest version..

Bootloop aftert restoring a TWRP backup

As the title says I always get a bootloop into recovery when the restore process finishes.
I tried everything, flashing the same rom as in the backup before restoring, however it never boots normally.
As I am on a stock MIUI 13 I flashed the stock image and then restored the backup, still a bootloop into recovery.
No matter what I do I am unable to restore my TWRP backup, so every time I want to try a new ROM I end up reinstalling everything from scratch.
Is it because my data is encrypted, or dynamic partitions? This never happened with any of my previous phones, is it possible to restore a backup on Mi10?

Backups and restore on the TWRP with some phone models does not work correctly either because it does not decrypt or is too old compared to the rom or you try to restore an older rom version on a more recent rom and sometimes the reverse also does not work (because of the system).
Try a more recent Twrp (just in case) but anyway the restoration will not be done with a more recent Twrp.
If you are on MIUI micloud works relatively well but obviously you can only restore the data not the system.

try flashing miui 12 rom first, then restore twrp back up (format data also before restoring)
and chose the latest version of twrp for android 11 or 12 (depends on your Rom)
maybe it will work
