TWRP Nandroid Backup/Restore (Android PIE) - Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers

HI Guys,
I'm on android pie (Whyred) on the Pixel Experience ROM. Although I could take full nandroid backup using TWRP, when I try to restore the same, the phone is not booting into system and gets stuck at mi logo. Also, there is no error message while restoring, it seems to go well.
So this made the rom switching very hard and I don't like to use Titanium backup as it requires root. I just need that Nand restore.
Do you guys face the same issue? is there any solution to this?? Please pitch in guys.
Thanks in advance:good:

Backup

Hey there!
I have a question? What's the best option for backing up my whole device? I want to flash CM 12.1 but I need TWRP for that, and for TWRP, I need to unlock my bootloader, which (according to people here) means to wipe my data and apps.
If I use the Backup app pre installed in my phone, will I be able to restore if say... I re-flash my stock ASUS ZenUI ROM again?

Yes you can restore from the backup using the stock Asus backup app if you decide to go back too stock. If you stick with cm12.1 then I would use titanium backup from the play store to backup and restore apps from a custom rom. However titanium backup also works with the stock rom but if it restores stock apps on a custom rom they will likely crash like mad.
Fun note when I unlocked my bootloader using the unofficial method it didn't wipe my data so I didn't need to restore any app backups. As always backup anything you might need just in case something goes wrong and you need to restore anything.
Pro tip, when doing backups on a phone like that zenfone 2 if you can backup to a removable sdcard cause if something goes wrong and you cant power on your phone you will always be able to access the backups using a sdcard reader.

TWRP restored backup problem -x800 US

I have a problem with my TWRP (3.2.0-0) backups on my le1 pro (us model).
I'm on Cuoco92's ROM 5.5.014S. I saw BetaHydri's CM12.1 and wanted to try it.
First I made in TWRP a backup of my current Cuoco92 ROM. Then I installed CM12.1, gapps and the phone booted, and played a little with it.
I made a TWRP backup of this CM12.1 so I can get back to it and test it later.
I restored the backed up Cuoco92 ROM.
Later I got back into TWRP to restore CM12.1 and after a successful restore and reboot the phone gets stuck on LeEco logo. I tried to wipe/factory reset but without success.
Fortunately the backups of Cuoco92 ROM get restored without problem and the phone boots normally.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? Why do I get stauck on LeEco logo when I restore the CM12.1 backup but not when I restore the Cuoco92 backup?
I got same problem, in my case I wanted to restore the stock Rom but the phone restart to TWRP before restore ends then I tried to restore the CM12.1 backup, I stuck on LeEco logo.
Luckily, after many reboots, the original recovery restored (I don't know how) and I could flash the 11s clean again.
Really its a weird phone!

It depends on a lot of factors.
What ROM, what TWRP version, what partitions did you back up, etc.
If you want to get your phone working, you can flash any ROM of your choice from TWRP or restore stock image.

TWRP Version is the last one (I think). I backup every partition so I made a full backup of everything. The rom Is the simple aosp. I very want back all my stuff

Backing up all the partitions was the mistake.
Getting your stuff back looks difficult.
If you flash ROM using TWRP, your media files and anything stored on your phone won't be deleted.
But all your apps and stuff will be lost.

How long does it take to restore nandroid backup?

been on the boot animation for 20 minutes now after flashing nandroid backup of FreedomOS because I wanted to try different roms. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.
Clean wipe->restore and check everything->swipe right->when done, flash magisk(dont know if this is necessary, cant remember if magisk comes along with nandroid backups)->reboot=boot animation in forever.
I'm thinking of flashing FreedomOS again just because of that and start all over again with installing apps and mods
I'm using the latest blu spark twrp
Just found out that twrp actually has an issue with restoring nandroid backups.
"Restoring data partition from backups will lead to boot issues if FBE-encrypted. It's not a TWRP issue but rather a side effect on how FBE works"
I have no problem Restoring from twrp backup. Even If Rom was rooted with magisk. Usually takes maybe 3 minutes to restore. Using official twrp

What TWRP are people using for curtana?

Hi all, I'm currently running miui EU rom 11.0.11 with bootloader unlocked and TWRP installed. However there are so many different twrp recoveries available all with different things working....
So far I've only flashed one rom since I've got the phone but with all these amazing looking custom ROMs around, I'd like to try out a few but it seems backup and restore is currently not possible.
TLDR: anyone know of a TWRP with working backup for Xiaomi redmi note 9s CURTANA?
Cheers

You should use the latest recovery version available, I think now is the OrangeFox recovery, it's the unified (miatoll) version. To can make backup, the recovery need to able to handle the encryption installed by ROM. To restore the backup... another challenge. I using only data backup and when want to restore, I wipe data, flash the rom, wait for first boot (set same pin code as used in backup), than restore the data in recovery. In case of unlucky situation (encryption difference between "restored" and previous rom, the rom stuck at first boot and need to format data partition (will delete internal storage too!!).
I use ofox recovery, having stock rom in an sd card and migrate backup I just flash new rom and when I want to come back, I flash stock and restore migrate. Nandroid backups are a bit risky I think.
