TWRP restore

Hello,
I made a backup through TWRP to my lollipop rom.
Now Im trying to restore it and i get an error message - "no partitions to restore"
Any help please?
How did you make the backup? What did you check when creating it?
I made the backup through the twrp. i checked all the boxes (system,efs... )
Okay... Did you save it to internal storage, or sdcard? Also did you wipe your phone at all since the backup was made or before trying to restore?
On some TWRP builds, the restore option is not working properly. Do a full wipe and try restoring, if it does't work, you will need a clean install. Make backup of your data before this.
Also you can try updating the recovery image.
i saved it to internal storage then copied to external sd. after i installed other zip rom. when itreid to restore the twrp backup recognized by twrp but doesnt let me to check the boxes (system, efs...) as i wrote

Maybe the backup is corrupted somehow...

[MOD] Decrypt /data for emui 8

Needed:
Unlocked Honor 9 lite on emui 8 and twrp
I have tested this and found it working on 7x should work on 9 lite too.
All you need to do is copy data/hw_init to your external sd
Then format data in twrp and flash the zip attached to this thread
Reboot
If it boots to system, then it's done
If it boots to erecovery and asks you to wipe data, then wipe data and boot to twrp
Make a data backup, format data, restore the back up you just made
Copy back hw_init from external sd to data
Reboot
Your device will be decrypted
more detailed instructions will follow

backup failed..cleaning backup folder

trying to do a twrp backup to sd, as the above states failed.. why, i can backup to internal though..
Having the same issue

Theoretically if you format the SD in TWRP in way to let it being detected, the format won't be seen by ROM but only by TWRP.

[Q] How to decrypt data partition without losing data?

Hi there,
My phone doesn't boot to android and returns to recovery every time, after doing a dirty installation from ArrowOS 11 encrypted to 12 also encrypted.
I made a backup, but I selected the internal storage by fault.
And now TWRP doesn't ask me for a password, so I can't decrypt the data partition.
What I tried to fix the issue:
I tried to install more than one TWRP version included [Orange fox, PBRP, and a one called twrp_ginkgo-willow-3.4A9_23-12-2020_BL.img (this was one I used before with ArrowOS 11]
installed the last working firmware and the latest ArrowOS 11 as I can't find older versions.
decrypting the data with this command: "ADB shell twrp decrypt mypincode"
The last time this happened to me, I followed those steps:
I had to wipe all partitions and clean install the same previous ROM
Then I created the same pin code as my previous one
I created a backup of boot, Dtbo, and recovery
restored my data backup through TWRP
restored the boot, Dtbo, and recovery
wiped the Dalvik / Art Cache and Cache
The problem now is that I created the backup on the internal storage by fault. If someone made the same pin code as mine and created a backup of the boot, Dtbo, and recovery for me is it going to work?
Is there anything else I can do to recover my data?

No, decryption key is unique

If you already (sometime in the past) flashed DFE wih format data , then just flash DFE and clear chache/dalvik + reboot
if you never did it then i'm afraid there is no solution ,you have to format
Ask in DFE topic to make sure

I didn't use it, but last time I didn't use it also and I restored my data, so I think I might have a chance.
Is there a way to backup the current encrypted data partition to a PC or a memory card?

Some roms does not encrypt data by default, that was the case i think

I never tried it (i never encrypt) so i'm not sure
you can change the bkp path in Ofox to USB (OTG) or SDCard and see if it work
