Hello,
can someone tell me how exactly twrp backup and restore work? i was thinking its making full partition backup (something like Acronis on PC), but when i make backup (select all partitions) then messing around with different roms, wipe everything and try to restore its stuck in bootloop (even without OS logo), when i do restore then flash vendor, rom, dfe and magisk it boots, but device password is not right ( im entering right one )
is it because magisk or password or fingerprint?

I'll try and keep this short and to the point, any other info you require to help me out i'll add.
My Z5c is running 32.4.A.1.54, unlocked bootloader and rooted using rootkernel which adds TWRP.
Straight after rooting and after initial setup of the phone I started TWRP and created a backup, all available partitions were selected and the back completed. I then copied it to my PC.
Anyway, no the problem. I was messing with the phone and then after every boot of the phone i kept getting some app crashes. No problem i thought i'll just restore my backup in TWRP. I selected to restore the system and data partion ONLY, then wiped cache & dalvik and rebooted.
It didn't reboot, just the sony logo then a loop back to the sony logo and then into TWRP again. What did I do wrong?
So i decided to restore all partitions except the TA one and that resulted in the same problem. So recover i just flashed stock with flashtool and all is well.
My question is regarding TWRP and restoring a backup. Which partitions do you have to restore? All of them? What is safe to omit when doing a restore?

The old TWRP in rootkernel had a backup problem if i remember correctly. Use a newer TWRP.
Thanks, i'll use 'your' TWRP from here.
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)
Hi all,
So I was happily running the 20190722 PE (Pixel Experience) on beryllium-V10.3.6.0.PEJMIXM-9.0-vendor-firmware with DFE and Magisk 19.3 flashed from TWRP 3.3.0. All files from official sources including the Official Telegram.
I come to discover I am 2 updates behind on PE so I created a NANDROID backup of the boot, system, and restore. I then cleared the dav and cache per usual and dirty flashed the ROM.
I then proceed to reboot the phone and it begins to encrypt itself. Given that I am a brilliant engineer, I proceed to interrupt it and restart the phone into TWRP. It loads and prompts a password. I have forgotten to DFE.
At this point I know that I have completely screwed up so, following the ongoing consensus on these forums, I format in TWRP, rebooting and clearing as instructed. I then go to restore the NANDROID. No go, boot loop.
After reading more, conclude that I need to flash the vendor FW and use it to reset/clear the phone and reinstall TWRP via FASTBOOT then flash the NANDROID. Nope, boot loop.
Going farther I discover that I need to flash the NAN on top of it’s working ROM/FW.
I go and flash the previously working ROM AND FW with dfe. To I double check I boot that and it boots properly to Android Setup.
Great! I use TWRP to flash the NANDROID. It boots to a lighted black screen. Pushing power I can get it to come up with a power/reboot/lock down menu that moves around the screen. This will actually restart or turn it off (didn’t touch the last).
I have tried this in various combinations with both my new NAN as well as a known working one.
Any ideas/thoughts/insults/ (I can take it)?
Try flashing 10.3.7.0 and then PE and immediately after DFE. However, I'm not sure it you won't lose everything. When doing your backup from TWRP, choose everything except System & Vendor. These 2 will be covered by System Image & Vendor Image.

I made a backup of Awaken OS 1.5.1, (boot, system, data, efs) and when I tried to restore it and reboot to system after, it just boots back to twrp... Why? Someone said backup vendor as well, so I tried that but this time in Fluid os 1.1 (android 11 as well) (boot, system, data, vendor, efs) but it still doesn't boot the system just goes back to twrp... Help. Please. My twrp is the latest 3.5.0_10-0
i had the same problem with xeu and DFE. just remove any screen unlock patern, pin, face rec, fingerprint and then make a 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
