TWRP format/restore - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

After formatting data partition, I am unable to restore backed-up data directly as I get an error (255?). I have to always let the phone boot to the welcome setup screen before going back into TWRP to restore my backup.
Is there something I can do to avoid this lengthy step?

I found the same. It's almost as if twrp doesn't format correctly.
I typically use fastboot -w, flash, then boot into the ROM, then restore from backup.

[Q] TWRP crashing while doing backup of data partition

I'm currently using TWRP on my XT1063. I'm having weird problems regarding TWRP's access to the data partition. When I try to do a nandroid backup of the data partition, it gets 10-30% of the way through the backup then crashes and reboots to system.
I've successfully backed up the system partition to my external SD card, so it doesn't seem to be an SD card problem. I did TWRP fix permissions and it appears to have completed successfully. I'm not sure what is causing this nor how to solve it...
I think my next step will be to reinstall TWRP and try again. Failing that, I guess I'll switch to clockwork mod recovery, which I haven't used in a long time. Do you have any suggestions on things I could try before reinstalling recovery?

I'm in bootloop and can'r restore backup

Hi all. I'm on bootloop and i can't restore the backup that i've made 20 mins ago......
I was following this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xp...erformance-root-7-0-ps4-t3598774#post73266651
please read my last post on this thread
then, i've just flashed via fastboot the new recovery, 3.1.1.0 instead of my old 3.1.0, and i've made a full backup into external sdcard (system, TA, OEM, Recovery, Data, qnovo, boot, cache) then i've flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip.
I've reboot and then i get bootloop. So i turn back to recovery to restore my previous backup, but at /system recovering, it fail with a "unable to unmount /system (device or resource busy)"
I have to wipe /system? i don't want to make more mistakes!!!
I'm online now......

Phone turns off in fastboot

Hey, writing for a friend of mine with that device having a problem to start from scatch. Initially a problem with titanium backup restore, he then tried to restore a twrp backup and now he did want to flash via fastboot. But as soon as you do anything in miflash the device simply turns off.
I did recognize in twrp that internal storage is gone (ni data/media folder, also several other root folders are gone).
Any tipp what to do now?
(Edit after formating data the 3rd time Internal storage is back again. Trying to restore the backup 'data' halts with error 255, and after restart tough system restore was successfull twrp reports unable to find system. Still not booting and fastboot shuts diwn, though now with msg "press any key to shutdown")
Edit2 partly solved. After additional tries it woul restore more and more, could boot into system, but no data restore, and then data too. So the system is working again, but the problem with miflash resides which might be needed some time.
The problem is that you're trying to access fastboot from a USB 3 port. You must use a 2.0 or lower port (it is a limitation of the fastboot interface itself). Good luck

How to recover my files after failed supersu flash?

Today I wanted to root my phone. So I flashed twrp to later flash supersu. After i flashed twrp the phone worked fine, I could boot normally and go into recovery to access twrp. However, after I flashed supersu I couldn't boot back into android. After several tries of recovering the data its been a mix between bootlooping twrp or being stuck in the splash screen. I could format the partitions to clean everything, but I can't do that because I need to recover my 2FA codes (cause I didn't backup them up) so I dont lose access to my accounts. I tried unencrypting the storage from twrp but it always failed, even though it was the correct password (I use a pattern to unlock but I converted it to a code). Is there any way I can recover my data or do I have to reset everything?
Goto recovery and copy internal storage to pc

Goto recovery and copy internal storage to pc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I cant find an option that lets me do this, since the partition is encrypted. Can you help me further?
