On my phones I have always used the backup's function offered by TWRP's recovery .
I've always been able to restore the nandroid's backups without any problems.
However, whenever I try to restore a backup on my Note 9, the phone always goes into bootloop.
I've never had this happen with my other phones (S3 and LG G5).
I wouldn't want to have to do other things to do a successful restore.
I can't restore a nandroid backup as well on my Note 9 exynos. I think it had something to do with force encryption of the phone.
I found in an XDA thread a zip to disable dm-verity and force encryption, flashable via twrp.
After successfully disabling ecryption of my Note 9, I was able to successfully restore a previous nandroid backup.

Thank you for your reply.
I mean, let me get a better understanding of what you did.
Did you first flash the "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt"'s zip and then restore the nandroid backup?
These are the steps I did, but not sure of the exact order:
1. Format data & reboot to Recovery
2. Flash rom (I'm using LOS 17.1 w/ microG) & reboot to Recovery
3. Flash magisk & reboot to Recovery
4. Flash the zip below

Hi all! For the past couple of months, I've been looking into making a more universal solution to disable dm-verity and forceencrypt. Needing to take different zips, modify them for different devices, and then cross your fingers when you switch...

5. Reboot to System, complete the start up of the new Rom and confirm that the phone is now decrypted.
6. Go to Recovery and restore my nandroid backup (I created this nandroid backup when my phone is already decrypted. I haven't tested restoring a previous backup with my still encrypted phone).
I successfully restored my nandroid backup finally. Before I always fail, giving me a hard time restoring my individual apps using TBackup or Migrate.

I already do all this when I install the new rom. So, my phone should be decrypted.
Then after some time I make a nandroid backup. However, when I go to restore the backup the phone goes into bootloop.
So, it means that with the restore the phone comes back encrypted again. That's why it goes into bootloop.
Before, I'm flashing the 'no-verity-opt-encrypt-6.1.zip' but always ended up encrypted after reboot. Only after I flashed 'disable_dm-verity_forceencrypt.zip' that my phone became decrypted, and perform a successful nandroid restore later. I'm using twrp 3.4.0.

If I understand correctly, before restoring a nandroid backup you flashed 'disable_dm-verity_forceencrypt.zip' and then did the restore.
Right?

As title suggest I'm having trouble booting after a successful restore in TWRP. I went to back to oOS nougat rom and didn't like how stripped down it was compared to resurrection remix.
I decided to restore NANDROID backup from the prior day. TWRP restored it correctly but it will not boot.
I restored the exact same backup without any issues previously.
Any suggestions?
I would try to dirty flash the corresponding ROM (RR it sounds like) over it. After restore in TWRP, wipe cache and davlik then flash the ROM. Make sure it's the same as what your restoring. This should realign the system and boot images but keep the data.
I'm using TWRP 3.1.0-1, running Resurrection Remix-N v5.8.0-OnePlus 3T. I want to go back to OOS, I have a TWRP backup of OOS before I flashed RR and I want to restore from that.
So in TWRP -
- Took another backup of RR
- Wiped Dalvik, System, Data and Cache
- Restored OOS
OOS starts and prompts to use my swipe pattern, I swipe my pattern and it's "incorrect", (I didn't forget my pattern, same one I have used for a long time). Ok so back to RR, so I did the same wipes and restored latest RR, now it bootloops. I restored OOS again and wiped. I'm back to OOS, but of course it's "new".
Is there a way to restore OOS successfully or any of RR from my TWRP backups?
Don't know if it makes a difference, but had some issues originally flashing RR, had a bunch of problems, DM-verity and softbricked, I restored to stock using this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/guide-return-youre-op3t-to-stock-lock-t3569383
After restoring to stock, I successfully removed the default encryption following another guide. I guess I don't know if RR by default encrypts or not, if that matters.
Have you changed your twrp after doing the initial backup
Because twrp before 3.0.4.1 does backups differently and will not restore if restore them by using twrp 3.0.4.1 or newer

To the best of my knowledge I am using the same version both to backup and restore. I definitely used the same version to backup/restore the latest RR (which bootloops).

Normally, I'd say the backup is just damaged or has some error, preventing proper restore of it. But it's strange that you have two RR backups which won't restore.
If the intent is to get RR working, with your previous user data; maybe try to flash RR, then just use TWRP to restore the data partition?
If you plug your phone in your computer and you computer recognizes your phone, then you can use ADB to wipe everything again. I had the same problem but my phone only charge if I plugged it into my PC so I wasn't able to revive it...
I've got the same problem here. Running TWRP 3.1.0-1, and sultan CM13 20170402. Backed up everything. Tried:
1. restore everything
2. restore only system
3. restore only system and data
None worked. Bootloop immediately after OnePlus splash screen. I also tried the above in combination with wiping everything, wiping system only and wiping data only. File systems are ext4/f2fs/f2fs on system/data/cache.
This is making me go nuts. The only thing I can think of is to try restoring under TWRP 3.0.4.
@RocKKer
try this
go to TWRP Home >> Settings >> tick use rm -rf instead of formatting
and then restore your backup
maybe this helps
cheers
I was trying a new rom so I made a twrp backup, I was on MIUI 9 stable, It was an Oreo based rom, flashed gapps, custom kernel and magisk and MIUI firmware
Trying to restore the twrp backup after formatting (Tried Every option to format) It basically shuts off the phone while restoring, just the system (or system Image) partition, restoring data was working fine. I had to flash the system manually, then restoring data, which worked fine. Just for testing I tried to recreate a backup and restoring It Just After and the same behaviour happened! Even without flashing anything. Whats happening?

There is a new twrp version (3.2.0.0) which is supposed to show better oreo support. Are you on that version?
Sounds a little confusing how you described what you flashed in which order ... Also I don't get exactly which rom you're trying to restore. Can you give more accurate and precise info?
Is it just me with this issue? Any known fixes or something? I'm using lineage os version 15.1 with latest update that released today.
i got it too. i always encrypt on lineage OS and omni, today i don't remember what last build i was on but i cleaned my phone and installed latest LOS, after that i can't encrypt my device anymore. even i tried older builds of LOS, NLOS and also OMNI. i can't encrypt my device anymore.
I formatted Data many times and formatted everything but still can't encrypt. anyone can solve this issue?
---------- Post added at 03:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 AM ----------
just figured out the problem, problem was in TWRP 3.2.3-1. please install 3.2.3-0, and problem solved
I also have this issue on 15.1-20190127-NIGHTLY-oneplus3, has anybody got a fix yet?
Here's what I would do in your situation:
0. Take a backup of your current rom and internal storage and save it on your PC.
1. Try a different rom to see if it can encrypt your phone, eg Los 16 beta from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=285406&sort_by=date&sort_dir=DESC
See: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ageos-16-0-oneplus-3-3t-t3866517/post78144505
If that works, you're done and can restore your backup. If not ...
2. Do a clean install of OOS 5.0.8 full zip from https://www.oneplus.com/support/softwareupgrade
Don't flash Magisk or custom kernel. Let the phone reboot normally. Check that the phone is encrypted.
OOS forces the storage to be encrypted. It will also replace TWRP, but you can flash it (use the version mentioned in the next step) after the phone has booted.
If this doesn't give you an encrypted phone then:
3. !!!This step will complete wipe your data partition (including user storage)!!!
Use this version of TWRP https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603866112 and tap the Format Data button under the Wipe menu. Do not use the Advanced Wipe option.
This should give you a properly formatted data partition with the correct encryption space.
I would flash stock OOS 5.0.8 at this point and boot it to get a properly encrypted phone (I did this when I was testing this version of TWRP and it works).
You can then restore your data backed up in step 0. Also restore TWRP (the version mentioned above) and restore your backed up rom.
For discussion and info on this version of TWRP see https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3742894/post78661632
You could just do steps 0 and 3, but that's a fair bit of time and effort, which is why I suggested steps 1 and 2.

Appreciate your advice appreciate, not sure what the OP would think but I wish I didn't have to flash different image and/or wipe, will see how I get on though.

At this stage I trust OOS more than the custom ROMs to correctly encrypt my phone. Once it's encrypted I'm happy to use custom ROMs.
Also, this is my personal view, so others may have different views.
You could, if you wanted, just install a custom rom after formatting the data partition and see if that works.

I used this method to root my Mi9: https://forum.xda-developers.com/Mi-9/how-to/tuto-complete-tutorial-to-root-mi9-twrp-t3923765
Everything works great, happy with a working Magisk a trimmed MIUI etc.
One thing that I am not able to do though is a full Nandroid backup of the system. I thought I could “sideload” TWRP while fastbooting but it messed up the entire system without TWRP getting successfully loaded when I did this with a Mi 9 TWRP image:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Doing this just corrupts the system and I had to wipe data to restart from scratch. tried it twice (and wasted a lot of time) before giving up.
So is there any way to do a total ROM dump without having TWRP installed?
