[Q] Broken rom after clockwork backup restore

I have installed custom rom from zip and used it for several weeks.
Today I have decided to try new rom and I have made a backup trough CWM (6.0.2.5) in format .tar
I have tried to restore the backup. but the phone gives me a really strange error.
Encryption Failed. The system .. bla bla bla ... you need to reset your phone ..
I have tried to factory reset trough CWM, but the problem is the same.
I have tried to restore older backup ... the same error ...
Any ideas what is the problem and now to fix it (restore the rom)
I have tried the following ..
1. format /system /cache / data
2. install custom rom (CivZ v3.0)
3. take the setup wizard
4. reboot into recovery (CWM 6.0.2.5)
5. backup (.tar format)
6. restore from the backup
and .. the same error and no working rom ..
Can this be an internal SD memory problem ?
Any ideas ???
Anyone
Try backing up to external SD card. If that works, or you dont have an external SD card, backup and repartition your internal SD using AIO toolkit (choice 4 in the toolkit, then select the new unlocked ICS bootloader, and 512 MB system partition, or whatever your preferred size is, then run the internal SD fixer which follows that step) and try again.
The backup is on external SD
I have already repartitioned the internal SD with the default ICS layout (1.5G system)

Then try backing up to the internal SD and also try changing recovery to TWRP.
I have already tried TWRP but it cannot restore CWM backup
Currently I have stock rom , but I cannot rollback to the previous rom backup.
a few days ago I have used some app (found here in XDA) for optimizing internal SD .. is it possible this app to broke something in the internal SD ?

Hi! I assume that you were using the stock ics rom. Right? Stock ics use system partition as ext4 but data and cache are used as ext3. Since TWRP and CWM format data and cache as ext4 you cannot use your old backup of stock ics rom, unless you format both (data and cache) to ext3.
I created a zip which converts data and cache to ext3. Download from my attachment.
Flash the zip file then restore your backup.
Thanks :victory:
I will try

Soft bricked phone after trying to restore backup after LineageOS flash

I flashed the lineageOS 17 roms that is available and it worked but then i realized that gapps was not complete so i went into TWRP to restore my old Backup of ColorOS 6.1 (A.08 version), also it had magisk installed, but it then would show the first boot logo then restart and go into the recovery. I then tried formating everything except internal storage and also factory wipe and now my backup is gone and everything else on my phone. I can still boot into recovery and such but now it wont even ask me for the decryption password. File manager in TWRP shows 3 folders in the internal storage (in sdcard 0, obb and TWRP).
Any help? i dont wont to break things even more.
Edit: I just noticed that in the 0 folder in sdcard there is 65 gb of folders and files. Im assuming that are my old files but they are encrypted. Any way to undo that?
I guess you have to install a rom and set everything up from scratch. You lost all your files when you formated data, including backups, etc.
If you want to update or change your recovery, now it's the time - since there's no rom or files to lost.

I didnt format the internal storage only data and i edited the post saying that i think i found all the data but still encrypted. Im guessing TWRP wont automatically decrypt it.
For anyone with a similar problem. I reinstalled LineageOS and it decrypted all the files.

How to decrypt internal storage when downgrading

I am on Fi PPWS29.69-39-6-11 rom (August 1, 2020 security patch). I want to downgrade to PPWS29.69-39-6-6. But after flashing PPWS29.69-39-6-6 rom is internal storage encrypted. Before flashing 6-6 i disabled encryption (lock screen -> none), but internal storage still encrypted after downgrading. Any solution to decrypt internal storage without wiping user data?
TWRP can decrypt the storage, so you can try making a backup in there and restoring it after you downgrade. But you may have better luck using Titanium Backup (you will need root).

How To Guide [FIXED] Apps not updated or install after MIUI 13 to 14 Upgrade.

ISSUES :
You get error message when you try to update apps in Play Store or unable to install an apk saying "Out of storage space".
Requirement :
Your phone must be an bootloader unlocked phone and flash and use OrangeFox recovery (I prefer OrangeFox this time).
^^^^^^^^^^WARNING! ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE GONE^^^^^^^^^^ Back up your data to other device or using cloud-based backup.
SOLUTION :
Boot your phone in to Orange Fox Recovery. Mount all partitions available and shown there. Erase these partitions "Data" (NOT Data Format), "Dalvik-cache" & "Cache".
Mount / Enable MTP (can't get connected? Turn it off and back on).
Copy your MIUI14 firmware in to internal storage.
After copying, go to \data\media. Click the flashable miui14 zip and install it as Flashable zip. Wait till it's finished. After that, clear "Dalvik-cache & cache".
I recommend a full reset after phone is booted completely. Your external memory card will be erased too.
Go to \data\media and delete the flash zip file to gain some storage space.
Thank you.
