Stuck in bootscreen after Oxygen 4.1.6 update

Hi guys,
I updated to Nougat and flashed the OxygenOS 4.1.6. Everything worked fine but I miss xposed too much so i wanted to go back to Marshmallow. No matter if I restore my newest 6.1 backup or my old Nandroid backup in twrp or flash any other ROM, my op3 always stucks in the bootscreen with the Oneplus logo now and nothing happens. Just when I flash the 4.1.6 zip again, the phone starts and works well.
Does anyone have an idea how i could restore one of my backups or flash any Oxygen 3.x ROM?
Many, many thanks for your help!

Save your backup off your phone, then clean flash whichever version of OOS you want to downgrade to. Once you can boot into OOS again, restore your old backup.

Backup from MIUI and restore to another ROM without root

So in short what I want is to backup and restore all my appdata / files from stock MIUI 8 Global build to Lineage OS. I have already got permission to unlock bootloader and I don't want to root my phone.
I already tried Helium but that's so buggy and doesn't work well and if anything it doesn't work at all.
I kinda run out of options here and is there anything I should know if I'm flashing to Lineage OS?

You can't, mi backup is something else. It can only be used in miui rom.

Backup Issues

I have Oneplus 5T on custom ROM cdroid.
before installing
i created two types of backup {app+data}
1. twrp zip using titanium backup pro
2. other one with .ba extension using Skipsoft Android Toolkit.
both of them restoring but i m not seeing any app installed after the backup completed.
Am i doing something wrong.
I always try new ROMs so i get tired of installing apps over again and again.
Is there any way to deal with this.

Use titanium backup but not the zip. Use it normally. Backup app plus data. I switch to oos, custom roms with no problems. Just don't backup system stuff.

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.

How to backup Redmi K30 5G for update from MIUI12 to MIUI 13

Hello
I have a Redmi K30 5G running MIUI by xiaomi.eu (V12.5.7.0.RGICNXM stable - Android 11) with TWRP 3.5.2_10-5 by hadenix.
I am wishing to update rom to xiaomi.eu (V13.0.1.0.SGICNXM stable - Android 12).
Before doing so i wish to take the precaution of making a backup of the phone in case something goes wrong during the update and I need to roll back.
I am not interested in rooting the phone.
What is the best (safest) way to do this?
Am I correct in stating the best way to do this is using my TWRP?
I am considering using the TWRP backup method (something I have never done before).
Most of the online methods show System, Data & Boot as the necessary partitions required to be backed up/restored to roll back the phone.
Is that correct?
In my TWRP I cannot see the System partition listed in the BACKUP partitions.
Yet I can see the system partition listed in the MOUNT partitions.
So I am unsure where to go from here.
I am hoping someone out there has knowledge on this backup/restore procedure (for K30 5G with TWRP 3.5.2_10-5 by hadenix) and can assist.
Thanks.

Backup/Restore will not work with TWRP.
Try with:Micloud,Miphone assistant,Google or third-party apps.
But in general the update goes well using the script included in the zip:windows_fastboot_update_rom.bat

Thanks for the reply!
In the past I have backed up with MIUI and Google but I am keen to explore the TWRP option as my understanding is that this is a more complete backup. There are guides online showing how to do this, so i am curious as to why you say that "Backup/Restore will not work with TWRP."?

Thanks for the reply! I take your point.
But in this instance I would be restoring an Android 11 backup with TWRP (TWRP works for Android 11).
Even though I would be restoring the Android 11 backup over an Android 12 rom using TWRP, would that not work?
What would be the reasons that this wouldn't work?
I am trying to learn how all of this stuff works!
Thanks for your advice so far.

Twrp for android 12 Cannot decrypt data
System is different
The backup works but not the restore, now you can try with the last TWRP A12, I had tried with the penultimate one.

"Twrp for android 12 Cannot decrypt data" - Got it. Thanks! Now I understand.
