Hello,
Can you pls tell how the TWRP backup and restore works?
I went to TWRP and backed up all the partitions to my internal storage.
I went to restore and could see the backed up image.
After that i wiped data, cache, dalvik and system...didn't wipe internal storage.
Flashed the AEX Oreo ROM, gapps, wiped cache/dalvik and rebooted system to boot into new ROM.
Then when I went to TWRP and clicked on restore, it was empty...the backed up image was gone!
I am confused as I didn't wipe my internal storage...so where does the backed up image go??

Hi,
I previously install CUSTOM ROM via RECOVERY. Then I install back STOCK ROM via RECOVERY. After the installation of STOCK ROM, I found that in internal memory that are some application from previous ROM. What should I do to remove it? Do I need to install stock ROM in FLASHTOOLS? If got any solution please help.
FYI : Before I install new ROM I did this Wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Sorry for my bad english
Settings > Backup and restore > Factory reset and select wipe internal sdcard.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I did that, will my ROM be missing too?
No, just like a factory reset with the internal sd wiped.
If you want your rom to be wiped go into recovery and do wipe /system
Your Rom will be resetted. Back to factory settings. All your data will be lost, so do a backup if necessary
Edit: sorry too late
The thing is, I installed the CM11 (did all wipe data/factory reset and wiped cache) through CWM and it shows ''install from sdcard complete''. Then I am trying to install the GApps file, but it shows that there is insufficient storage. Previously had the original firmware. I have flashed ROMs before, but this stupid mistake happened for the first time, I did not free space for the installation.
Hi Guys, I'm having a big issue with my Android.
Since I've installed the Xposed alpha for Lollipop (xposed-sdk22-arm-20150514.zip; I have a rooted CM 12.1) I started to have some issues at boot (every time I was booting I had to clean the cache and the dalvik cache in CWM and I had to boot 2 times before seeing Android re-optimizing the apps).
Yesterday I've flashed an update of Xposed alpha for Lollipop (xposed-sdk22-arm-20150609.zip ) and it was working fine, then I've had the wonderful idea of updating CM with a newly nightly built:
- I've made a Nandroid backup in CWM
- I've made a dirty flash (wipe of cache/dalvik cache)
- I've flashed the new nightly
All this caused my Android to enter into bootloop.
This gave start to 2 painful days of trial-and-error to recover my nandroid backup with no success at all.
What I've done (IN SEQUENCE) to try restore my nandroid backup:
[TEST 1]
Full Nandroid Restore via CWM
wipe cache/dalvik cache
OUTCOME: bootloop
[TEST 2]
dirty flashed via CWM:
cm-12.1-20150518-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip [same ROM installed at the time of the Nandroid backup]
gapps-lpmr1-20150403-signed.zip [same GApps installed at the time of the Nandroid backup]
xposed-sdk22-arm-20150609.zip [same Xposed zip installed at the time of the Nandroid backup]
OUTCOME: bootloop
[TEST 3]
From CWM -> Mounts and Storage
format /system
format /cache
[NO FORMAT /DATA GIVEN THAT IT IS WHAT I WANNA KEEP]
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
install from zip:
cm-12.1-20150518-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip
gapps-lpmr1-20150403-signed.zip
OUTCOME: bootloop
[TEST 4]
flashed from recovery:
xposed-sdk22-arm-20150609.zip
reboot system
OUTCOME: bootloop
[TEST 5-...]
Tried to disable Xposed in all the different ways suggested in the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-lollipop-stuck-bootloop-t3055816
(with adb commands or flashing zip files)
In the end I've decided to give up the full nandroid restore so I've made a full wipe:
CWM -> Mounts and Storage -> Format /system; Format /cache; Format /data
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
and then I've flashed:
cm-12.1-20150518-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip
gapps-lpmr1-20150403-signed.zip
Now everything works and at this time I'm recovering the User Apps (apps+data) from the Nandroid backup using Nandroid Manager under CyanogenMod but the problem is that I fear some apps will not work properly (I've already tried Nova Launcher and it crashes every time I try to use it) even tough I'm using the very same ROM. So I will probably need to uninstall many apps manually and reinstall them, which is kind of painful.
Meanwhile I'm working on this I still hope to be able to recover my Nandroid backup so I'm here to ask you for help.
From my tests (and others I haven't listed above) I've realized that the issue is in the /data partition and it is probably linked to Xposed and/or the modules I've installed (XMultiWindow and XHaloFloatingWindow). As I said earlier I started to have issues connected to Xposed alpha for Lollipop since I have installed it and probably the ROM update made Xposed "extremely upset" and gave me this issue with a corrupt (?!) Nandroid backup.
Any idea is very much appreciated!
Same with me. TWRP system and data backup won't be restored after boot loop. Haven't tried your method of recovering the rom.
Hi, I have flashed latest stock with rootable kernel, DRM Restore & SU zip installed. Took backup all the partitons using TWRP 3.0 Recovery.
If I want to restore the backup, can I restore all partitions? or Only few like System, Data & Caches?
I'm having an with the phone storage. I have 12.74gb of system data which means I can only install an app without the storage error (some functions may work). I have factory reset, reinstalled the 14.1 ROM, formatted the /system partition, cleaned to install a new ROM, cleared both the cache and the dalvik cache, all in CWM. For some reason I think the 10.1 CM ROM I previously had is still on there, even after doing the above mentioned. Could anyone suggest some steps to resolve the issue please?
Install twrp recovery and Before flashing wipe data,cache,dalvikcache and flash zip file and then reboot
