When I was using stock RealmeUI (android 10) just looking some ROMs for RMX1851. And I've see Corvus ROM, just wanted to install my phone. I enter the TWRP and took a nandroid backup except data section and just deleted cache, internal storage, dalvik cache, cache and... vendor. Then I swipe to install and boom! ERROR 7. And I just wanted to back to stock ROM via TWRP nandroid backup. What happened? of course it didn't work. Nothing see wrong while restoring backup but the device doesn't boot up. I can still enter TWRP and flash somethings. And last thing is the build.prop file is not in their place.(/system/build.prop) Please help me.
Can someone take and share realmeUI nandroid backup please? This method might work.
Just flash realme ui ota file
Don't you think I didn't try that? It doesn't work.

Hi guys,
First, let me start off with some information about my setup:
Phone: Galaxy S3 i9300
Rom: Omega v5.0 AOPK (No modded kernel, modem or anything; "stock" Omega 5.0 AOPK)
I downloaded and flashed (via CWM) this camera which I downloaded via Omega Files. I then went on to boot and got stuck on bootanimation. I took out my battery, reinserted, booted in recovery and cleared /data, /cache and dalvik cache. Rebooted the phone, and yet again it's stuck on boot animation.
Any tips on what I might've done wrong / what I can do to fix it?
Restore the nandroid you made just before you flashed the mod, if you didn't then do a super wipe and flash your whole ROM again - pray that your efs folder and partition is still intact.

How do I do a super-wipe? I have an EFS-backup so I guess that part should be safe.
Could I reflash the rom through recovery (which still works)?
If you have Philz recovery then that option is built in, otherwise format system, data, cache, preload and delete the android folder of your internal sd card.
Flash the ROM either through recovery or Odin.

Reflashing through recovery worked. Great! Thank you so much
I suppose a nandroid backup is in order. Is there any particular way that's best for such a task, or can I simply do it from CWM?
Get the ROM back to how you like it, make a nandroid in CWM then repeat regularly - simple.
I wanted to do an update from xiaomi.eu MIUI 9.5.X ROM to MIUI 10 on my wife's Mi Note 3. Unfortunately, I run into encryption troubles. Here are the steps I did:
1. Booted to preinstalled TWRP (I think it was 3.0.2) and did a full backup. Unfortunatelly I only saved to internal phone storage :crying:
2. Wiped Dalvik+Cache
3. Tried to install MIUI 10 Stable but got some errors in TWRP (remember it saying Error 7). Tried to wipe System as well but didn't help.
4. I updated TWRP to 3.1.1. and then managed to successfully install MIUI 10 version. First boot went OK.
Because I wiped System in TWRP I lost all app settings. My idea was to proceed with a restore from a full 9.5.X backup and then repeat the update to MIUI 10 without wiping in order to keep all applications etc.
5. So I booted again to TWRP 3.1.1 and did a restore from a backup.
After the reboot following message appeared: ''Encryption was interrupted and can't complete. As a result, the data on your phone is no longer accessible. To resume using your phone you need to perform a factory reset....''. In TWRP I can't access any files on internal storage - it shows 0 MB.
Can you please explain to me why this happened? Is it somehow related to TWRP update after performing a backup? I know that the solution is to format data in TWRP but I would like to avoid it. Is there any way of saving phone's data?? Does it make sense to try flashing MIUI 10 ROM via USB-OTG?
Any help would be highly appreciated. We really don't want to lose photos of our little baby from last holidays.
Thank you.
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.

so steps:
1st flashing miui rom.zip
2nd restore files with twrp backup file?
and all works perfect????
data? system? image system? which please
first time i hear this method...hehehe
pin\password asking after?
miui account find device e.t.c?
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

Thanks a lot!
I have a Sony Xperia XZ Premium and i decided to enter the world of tinkering with my device. I successfully unlocked by bootloader, installed TWRP but as i was figuring out how it all worked something went wrong. i can no longer boot into my device (its stuck on the sony/carrier boot screen) and i belive that i may have completely removed by OS from my device. A website told me that i should to something with changing the file system and i think that has something to do with it. I have tries re-installing a stock rom but i cant seem to get it to work (I am noob). When i try to flash the zip it says 'invalid zip file format!' i really dont know what to do. Any help would be grealty appreciated as this is my only phone. I dont care if it has to be reset to factory settings.
THANK YOU.

First, let's start with the small stuff, just in case. Try booting into TWRP and select the Wipe option, then select advanced wipes, then choose only the cache partition and the dalvik cache partition, DO NOT choose any other partitions, after choosing cache and dalvik cache, swipe the slidee at the bottom to run the wipes, then reboot the device.
The stock .zip that you tried to flash probably isn't made for flashing via TWRP. It is probably meant for extracting the .zip to get the flashable form of your stock firmware and then flashing that firmware using your device's specific flashing tool on PC. Flashing the firmware will remove TWRP. After you get the firmware flashed and you get the device working again, you will have to reinstall TWRP the same way you did the first time. When you get TWRP reinstalled, immediately use the Backup option in TWRP to create a backup of everything on your device(do not include internal storage in the backup). Store that backup on your external sdcard and/or on your PC. Do this BEFORE you attempt any kind of modification ms to the device. This backup can be used to restore your device if you mess it up again.
After creating the backup and storing it in a safe place, then you can try making the modifications that you were originally trying to do.

After clearing the 2 caches the phone is still stuck on the boot screen. I will try to figure out how to flash the ROM with flash tools now...

Your phone's Android 7 has neither a Dalvik cache nor an ART cache. TWRP is misleading in this respect.
Try to re-flash phone's Stock ROM ( Android 7 ) by means of Sony Xperia Flash Tool.

Yes I managed to do this. The only problem now is that my phone is on Android 7. Before it was on Android 9. I've went to the software update section on the phone but there's no update available. Will I have to flash an android 9 ROM to get the update or will it eventually come to my phone
Thanks
@jakessavage
Moving from one Android version ( e.g. 7 ) to another one ( e.g. 9 ) istn't an update but an upgrade.
Don't think your phone's OEM/Carrier automatically supply an upgrade, but only updates if recognized to be necessary.
IMHO in case of Android 9 for your phone is not provided by OEM/Carrier, you have to flash a Custom ROM based on Android 9.

Find the android 9 firmware for your device and flash it via flashtool.

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..
