So its been some times since me and @ivanox1972 have this problem which restoring any Nougat rom gives the error
com.android.phone stopped
TWRP restore gives no error, but after restore that error comes up and settings app is cleared with nothing inside
Even a fresh install of any rom > backup > restore brought up the error
Our devices are SM-T815
anyone can help ?

I went Stock -> CM7 -> CM7 Kang -> Backup -> Latest Baseband -> Restore
The restore won't work, it gets through checking md5s, restoring system files, but when it gets to data after a few files it says "Cannot restore data".
Why not
may not be the issue, but try restoring file permissions in the advanced menu in CWM
then try restore again.
if that fails.
make a full wipe before restore.
let us know how you get on.
Fixing permissions worked perfectly, thank you!!
Tried ROM Manager backup of factory ROM.
Now, I power on and get CWM recovery. Choosing reboot always returns me
to CWM recov. I read every thread in this forum that refers to
loop, brick, etc. I have various backups, but I don't know what they
are worth, best way to use them. How to get out of the boot loop?
Best outcome would be to recover my last stable state. Factory reset
would be ok. Hardbrick would be a drag.
* Bought factory unlocked G-ST6500D (no vendor) in Spain.
* Have current non-root backups of contacts, sms, media, calendar, etc. on
laptop.
* Installed CWM v5.0.2.8 with Odin (three yellow boxes appeared in odin,
FWIW), and rooted. Froze bloatware listed by some people as safe, but
did not delete any factory installed software.
* Wanted to have a stock ROM backup before I did anything else. It's
not clear to me whether it is best/possible to download one or create
an image from my device. Started reading/trying backup apps, but I
don't really know what each one does.
* Did a full backup, apps + data, to extSD, and copy to laptop with Titanium
backup (free). This wrote >1000 files.
* Did most complete (as best I could tell) backup to extSD and laptop
with Online Nandroid app. This wrote boot.img, cache.ext4.tar,
data.ext4.tar, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.ext4.tar. Can these
be used to restore ?
* Tried to backup the ROM with ROM Manager app, but could not find an
option to backup to ext SD, only int SD. There was only 200MB free, so
I knew this would fail. I choose this anyway, hoping it would realize
there is not enough space and offer to change the path. The phone
rebooted into CWM and began a backup. After a few minutes, it printed
an error message and told me where a log was written, and rebooted
into CWM recovery. I tried rebooting, holding buttons, removing
battery, etc. Always returns to CWM recovery. Tried the 'backup and
restore' menu hoping it would give info on the backup. Instead, it
immediately started another backup, this time showing 1GB intSD
free. This backup reported success, then reboot into CWM recov.
* Since then, from CWM, I did 'wipe cache partition' and 'wipe davlik
cache'. Did not yet try factory reset.
* Show log ends with
"skipping exectuion of extendedcommand, file not found"
I read that sometimes it is possible to exit a boot loop without
flashing anything. If that is not possible, I guess I should do
factory reset. If that does not work, then I guess I should try
restoring something somehow: Use CWM recovery to recover nandroid
backup from extSD? Or install something via Odin ? For any solutions,
I am more comfortable doing things from linux than MSWin, but I think
that is not possible. Do I have to race to solve this before the
battery runs out?
Thank you for reading.
just install cwm 6.0.3.3 b2 from TheWhisps goo.im account and then should everything work fine.

Thanks. I just figured that out after a several hours of reading. Finally saw stories on the thread
introducing CWM 6.0.3.3 of people who never flashed a ROM and still had boot loops.
I was on the wrong track because I assumed it was the filled up int. SD causing the
problem. I still have to fix that, but my phone is running. It would be nice if ROM Manager or CWM calculated the space
needed and refused to start if insufficient. But, I understand that there are few good devs and much to do.
I don't think this is a Moto X (XT1096) specific problem, but more so with TWRP. Phone works fine, just can't backup or restore
I'll try to get a log as soon as I can, just need to figure out how
Problem
I can't backup or restore (and maybe can't delete via TWRP?) from TWRP, getting errors at the start (can't access .../data/cmthemes and can't access .../data/motogallery) and then at the end TarFork() process ended with ERROR=255
Tried Solutions
Reflash TWRP (broke, had to use TWRP app to fix)
Upgrade TWRP (says it failed, but worked)
Enable Compression (no real difference that I can tell)
Cause?
I was on CM13 (2/2 ?), upgraded to most recent (2/6), didn't like it so wiped and flashed to original (1/29 ?) then restored backup (2/2). Probably wasn't the best way to do that, oops. Since then I have wiped and reflashed 2/2 and upgraded to 2/7, haven't done anything since (besides mess with TWRP)
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Please lock/delete
Solution: Factory reset, only method that worked for me
Be sure to clear cache
Solution: There is a file on the phone that is preventing the backup. Not sure what is creating it. It could be an artifact of a TWRP backup restoration, which is the first time I had the problem.
Look in the TWRP log ([SDCard]/recovery.log) and scroll near the end - you will find the culprit there, almost always in the [root]/SYSTEM folder but sometimes in multiple folders. It has many names. I've seen it called, simply "999". On my Moto G4, it was "d.addon". Delete the folder and you're good to go.
Hi guys.
Just did a clean flash all was working fine but when i try to start for ex "black mart" it crashes display goes black.
Tried Wiping everything and re flash same problem remained.
Tried "Format Data" got the following message :
" E: Unable to wipe '/data' -- Unknown file system
'auto'
Unable to format to remove encryption . "
Also I get two red lines in the install log :
E: unknown command {log}
E: unknown command {log}
all help is appreciated
My advice is to install a custom ROM without wipes, if it still does not work, make all the wipes, except the SD, if it still does not work, install the stock rom, that should work 100%, you can give me the link Black mart, I need to check something
Hey Jimmy
I Installed it without wipes didnt work...did a clean flash still no luck....figured if i can remove the whole partition and re create it all leftovers will be deleted ..
So i asked how to go about this...got an old stock rom flashed it with the pit file...now all apps were working again ...tried formatting the partition still same problem... wiped it once more...installed LOS 14.1....problem remained...tried a few diff releases of 14.1
Figured maybe if i downgrade TWRP back to 2.8.7 (from 3.0.0) maybe i can format it....so I did and voila now i could fomat the disk ....but this time I installed cm-13.0-20160113-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte....all is now working
The first installation of 14.1 was actually working...but I downgraded to 5.1..1 because i wasn't able to restore my backups ....the second time around I noticed that the file manager was now displaying " shared Internal Storage" (which it didnt the first time) dunno if that had something to do with it...
Here is the lnk i dL black mart
