Hey all!
I'm currently on stock OOS 9.0.6 with unlocked BL.
I searched through the Q&A but couldn't find one with a similar question so making a new thread.
(Apologies if it's a duplicate, please direct me to an answer )
So I'm looking to install a custom rom (non-OOS) on my 5T but without having to go through the painful process of setting up all apps again if possible.
If I do a TWRP backup of /data (not media) from stock OOS 9, can I restore it on other custom Pie roms? Will it work as expected?
Do I need a particular TWRP for this?
Or is it better to do a Titanium Backup of all Apps and then restore it on custom roms?
Really appreciate your inputs!
You can't restore ,it will not boot , better use titanium or swift backup or migrate choice is yours

I made a backup of the stock ROM using CWM but had issues getting certain ROMs to work until I changed the recovery to TWRP. Is it possible to restore the backup made in CWM with TWRP?
I was planning on backing current ROM with TWRP, going back to CWM; restoring stock ROM, installing TWRP and recreating backup with TWRP but I'm just wondering if it's possible.
Thanks!
EDIT: I found the answer myself not 10 seconds after posting this. I hate it when that happens!! FYI, the answer is No.
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.

If I TWRP nandroid backup my current rom? then flash a new rom? Is it safe to restore the nandroid backup to the newly flashed rom? I mean it's only the data that I will restore. Thanks!
If the two ROMs share the same base, it's safe.
Just to clarify since you designated "noob" if the roms you are changing between are the stock roms you will be fine if not system and app data may not match up depending on the rom
Hey guys,
Right now I'm on an old ExperienceOS rom and I wanted to update to some roms on Oreo with a full clean flash.
I heard that Oreo got some problems with Titanium and now I'm searching for another option.
So after wipe and flashing the new rom, which backup apps do you use and which one would you recommend to safe especially for apps?
PS: Is the backup over TWRP safe?

TiBu is Oreo compatible since weeks.
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.
