Hi all,
I have a big problem, i promised i searched before nut i didn't find anything useful about it.
I installed the Ditto Note 3 v5 on my device, and everything was fine, but after I installed agni kernel, the system went crazy, i did follow the exact procedure, or if i made a mistake i didn't on purpose.
Whatever i had a nandroid backup before installing agni kernel, but now i found my device impossible to write on internal storage, meanwhile the external is fine I can do anything i wish, but the the internal storage no way to create even a folder or a simple file.
I have done that with TWRP 2.7.0.2 as a recovery, and I am really in deeply **** (sorry for the word), because I heavily use my device in my work, I am a "soccorritore", that means like paramedic in USA in ambulance, so it is really the truth i am in deeply ****, because I have all my documents in the internal storage in the nandroid backup, but i don't know how to restore them.
The nandroid backup is 4.58GB, but when i install the nandroid backup the internal storage is 7.5GB left, before with all the data was 5.8GB left in internale storage, so it is missing 1.7GB of data.
PLEASE!
I really need help and as soon as possible, I do not care about myself but documents and people schedules
Hi there, I've also restored one time my Rom through TWRP and couldn't write on the internal Storage anymore. TWRP has a problem with that, use Philz Recovery in future.
So, do you have your documents etc. in some Apps saved or in your internal Storage?
Yes, i do have documents in backup data. The problem is not the rom, in worst cases I reinstall again a new one, but what about the documents?

Well like I said/asked, if your documents are in some Apps, backup them using Titanium Backup on your SD Card. If your files are on the internal storage, you can simply flash a Firmware through Odin and nothing should happen to your data. Or just connect your device to your PC and copy all your files over to your PC.

The problem are not the backup applications, but the documents as I said, they are not in an application, they are in the nandroid backup created from TWRP recovery and the nandroid backup is an md5 format.
You are telling me that titanium backup can restore nandroid backups?
I even thought to use odin, if it can be useful.
No Titanium Backup can't restore backups, it just backups all your apps + data.
A Recovery doesn't backup your whole Internal Storage, it just backups your System Partition etc.
So my thought were, just flash a Firmware through Odin and everything should be alright I guess.
Oh man! I love you
I still like women but I think you know what I mean, I used odin and I restored the entire backup to the device, but still not able to write on the internal storage, but who cares I reflash e new rom, the most important is i can transfer the documents and the data to the external storage and to a computer. I learned a lesson today, I can't describe how do I feel now, and there are no words to describe how much I thank you
I have an issue with a TWRP backup that I did the other day. When in TWRP and I go to restore TWRP does not recognize the backup. When I made the backup it was stored in the TWRP folder on my internal storage. After installing a new sdcard (the next day) I moved the subject backup from the internal storage a folder on my sdcard I named "Backup". In the process of moving the backup the backup name assigned by TWRP was changed. All the files are there, other than the name change no modification has been made to the backup. Is there anyway to recover that backup so that TWRP recognizes it?
I have 2 other backups that TWRP does recognize so I'm good there.
For some reason whenever I try to backup my T705 using TWRP the backup doesn't show up in the TWRP backup folder on my external SD Card. I don't know where it has been saved to.
Any help greatly appreciated.
UPDATE. Just flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and get the message E:- Unable to locate '/efs2' partition for backup process.
can I ask what does that mean?
Thanks
You're probably backing up to the internal storage. Make sure the backup location selected is MicroSd.
You can try my version here if you still get backup problems.

Hi
I always backup to the ext. SD Card. However I'll try your version.
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...
I'm on 4.7.6 and backup everything with twrp except system (use system img instead) then flash ob1 and say I don't like it. Can I clean flash 4.7.6 full zip then re flash twrp then restore the backup? Will this work without data loss?
I didn't test it myself but it definitely should. Make sure to use the same TWRP you backed it up with at the beginning and keep in mind that Non-OxygenOS Oreo builds might use keystore3 (making some TWRPs unable to decrypt /data).
Remove any PIN or password before you restore the backup and you should be fine
And don't forget that TWRP doesn't save the SD card or internal storage. Only /data without /data/media

Yeah I'll be sure to remove the pin/pw. I'm using cordworkx uniserval twrp. Seems to be fine on 4.7.6 with flashing things.
Yeah data is what I need backed up. /data/media shouldn't be wiped anyway in any of this? I'll make a backup on my pc just in case.
Thanks for the reply
