Hi! I went into the latest TWRP recovery with unlocked bootloader, and I wiped system, cache, dalvik and data. Then I flashed the proper vendor image, the ROM zip, Gapps and then Elemental X kernel. However, when I reboot, it just boots me into TWRP recovery. I have tried wiping dalvik cache and cache. I then tried restoring a nandroid, but it just got stuck on the Google screen. Didn't even get to the colored dots screen. I ended up flashing factory image, but I would like to get my Nandroids working and this ROM. Please help! Thanks
I'm no expert but I think it might be happening because of encryption. Did you disable encryption before doing all this stuff?

Encryption in stock Android? As far as I know, I can't turn it off. It says that the device is encrypted in settings. I think nougat forces encryption.
Unless maybe there's a patched kernel that can do that?

I dont think is your problem , im encrypted and never have issues with twrp! Never!! What version of twrp you running? Theres an unofficial kicking around that is much better than official! Maybe you got a bad download! I would redownload all, find and download unofficial twrp 3.0.2.3 I believe. Let your phone boot before you flash custom kernel, thats always worked great for me. The latest official twrps 3022 and 3021 both have nandroid restore issues as well efs restore issues that could ruin your day
Format data and system (format, not wipe) and try installing it again. Should work
OK, thanks

Only data and system? Not cache and dalvik like the purenexus install guide says?

What's the difference between wipe and format? On TWRP there is only WIPE for all partitions, but a format data button.

Wipe just deletes all data on the partition. Format makes the partition again, therefore it removes encryption, repairs potential problems etc. Format data has dedicated button in TWRP, for formatting System go to Advanced Wipe, check system, tap on Partition details, check EXT4 and perform format.

There is no Partition details button. Just fix partition or something like that.

OK, I will do that. Thanks Just to clarify, I format data and system, and wipe cache and dalvik?
A Thought
Dunno if this will help, but whenever I flash a ROM/kernel combo, I always flash the ROM/gapps, boot up with whatever kernel is included in ROM to make sure it boots properly, and then after successful boot flash EX kernel through TWRP.
OK, so I formatted DATA and SYSTEM, and I wiped CACHE and DALVIK. I then flashed the proper vendor image, pushing it to the device with adb push, and then adb sideload for the pure nexus ROM. It's currently installing. Then, I will adb sideload the gapps ZIP file. Then I'll reboot and see if it worked
EDIT: It just said "No OS installed"
EDIT 2: Just flashed the ROM again, and it is showing the boot animation. This time I did not do Gapps. I also wiped and formatted everything again. Hope all goes well.
EDIT 3: The ROM booted fine. Glad all is working now

So I had flashed the ROM with no Google Apps or anything, just the ROM. But when I add a Google Account, I can't because it says Google Play Services has stopped. I just noticed that the build number is one of a Nexus 6P, and the vendor image is different, the one I manually flashed.
hi i guys, i wourl test this file system, how can i do? i read about this and if found that i must do a bakcup with twrp of partition data, change and format the partition data and restore the partition data, is it correct? after i flash a kernel with s2sf, but the data partition is the partition where app data are? or what?
i hope you can resolve my dude
You mean F2FS? I guess you can at least try backing up and restoring partition, but clean install of ROM would be better.
you can use F2FS on Data and Cache partitions

Take a look at the backup files in your TWRP folder. The file extensions will have the file format in them and will tell the recovery the format with which to restore the partition. You can hack this by changing ext4 to f2fs.
i try to thange fsystem but i cant, i have stock rom but i installed jolla kernel that support s2fs mmh whats wrong?

Install jolla's multirom TWRP for f2fs formatting. You can do it within jolla's aroma installer options.

When you install the Jolla kernel zip, the installation menu will give you choice to install multirom-twrp only. Install the multirom TWRP, reboot back into recovery now you can format to f2fs.

I tried downloading the Pixel nav buttons just for kicks, now the system UI stopped working and I don't know how to remove the Pixel nav buttons. I have TWRP recovery installed so I could wipe, but I'm not sure what to wipe. Phone is rooted with LineageOS nougat.

It should have wiped any apps installed as a user. Was it installed as a system app?
Download the rom and start over with a clean install.

I am not sure if I installed as a system app, I went to downloads and i flashed the zip.though I would assume it installed itself as one since it is code the system UI uses.
So I wipe the internal storage or system?

If you did any flashing then yes it definitely installed to the system.
Download the rom and reflash should restore your system.

I still get the system UI has stopped message, which renders the phone unusable, but the first setup screen shows up in the background.
I have a Mi 9 se and i don't understand how the partitions work on this device (coming from mi 5) If i wipe system or cache or formate data from recovery after first flashing twrp it reboots into fastboot and i need to do a full rom flash again via mi flash tool. Can someone please explain to me what the go is?
Ok so after more attempts. Obviously you need to let it boot the rom before flashing twrp, but wiping system causes twrp not to boot still, can someone explain? thanks.
Thanks
System is where android is installed. If you wipe this it can't boot into android because it's not there so it boots into twrp instead. What are you trying to do?

I do realise that but wiping system shouldn't be an issue as the new rom will install the system right? The issue is that wiping system causes it to reboot to fastboot not recovery and i can't get into recovery again without reflashing the rom from mi flash and installing twrp again.

That is odd, you can can flash the rom without wiping system though I think as the rom will overwrite system anyway

Does it matter if system isn't wiped when moving between a MIUI based rom and an AOSP based rom?
@morgs640, it does: wipe is necessary. Some install-scripts contain a 'wipe system', otherwise you've to do it.
Hello. I am currently on TWRP 3.5.2_9.0, and my phone gets stuck while restoring my system partition. The same problem has persisted over many ROMS and even iwhile using Orangefox Recovery. Any help will be great. Thanks.

Are you backing up both system and system image and trying to restore both? Try backing up system image alone and restore (not system).

Yes. I have been backing up system and other partitions in the same zip. I will try your method and report when I need to restore again. Thanks
And there is update for TWRP...ver3.6.0_9-0

EFS may also give issues while restoring. So backup everything else you want except system and EFS and try restoring.
