I'm trying to run a first backup of the stock ROM using TWRP before I flash a custom rom.
I've failed several times and there is never actually an error message.
I've tried "mounting" system
Nothing changes
I've tried several times to no avail.
It fails every time I run backup of the System image.
I'd provide pictures but XDA won't allow me to upload the screenshots.

I'd like to start off by saying I use TWRP 2.4.4.0 and recently it seems like the backups it creates aren't complete. I tried fixing permissions and still when I read the log after the nandroid was created it would say "backing up data..." at the end of the log. Or in another instance it said it backed up all partitions but when I checked the actual size of the backup it was only 200 MB. So I used GooManager to reinstall TWRP and made a nandroid and according to the logs everything got backed up as it should have.
So I'm just wondering is it possible for my recovery to become corrupt? If so, are there any typical actions that cause this to happen?
Edit: I also used one of the nandroids that the recovery created earlier today and I had to clean flash my ROM because it apparently was incomplete/corrupt, it restored just fine but when I rebooted I got many errors, had no status bar, and nova launcher for some reason didn't start up either.
Yes, Recoveries can get corrupted. Or you have a bad sdcard or not enough space.
Also I don't use, neither recommend GooManager app. I prefer to download the recovery and use Odin or Mobile Odin.

Hello!
I'm in a bit of panic. Since Google pushes their stuff over OTA and my custom rom PAC somehow didn't deal with that correctly, it caused to use all my data, so I wanted to give stock 4.3 a try.
Rebooted into CWM, made a backup of my current ROM, free unused backup data, did a factory reset like always and flashed the 4.3 image. Wasn't happy at all with stock 4.3 so I wanted to go back. To my horror, restoring that image failed. Error while restoring /data!. I tried booting up anyway, maybe only a few settings were lost, but it started like the first time I flashed the ROM with the gapps log-in thing and all my apps are gone.
I tried getting back in CWM, manually restored /data, but that didn't work either. It starts restoring /data but then halfway through it stops with the error.
Previous backups (AOKP/CM/PAC) didn't restore /data either.
Installing Nandroid Manager to restore individual apps to a fresh ROM fails too. It sees all apps but it can't restore anything at all.
I have come to the discovery that apps won't even install. Apps manually extracted from the backups are 0kb and I can't seem to install some apps from the Play Store either. Unknown error code during application install: "-24"
Does 4.3 change anything about where the /data partition is? Or what happened?
What's the problem and can I even restore the data? Or do I have to start over?

have the same story with galaxy note 2..
Flash backwards first
not an expert here, but isnt the general protocol to try to flash back to the same version of the os first (i.e 4.2.2), and then try the CWM restore?
Are you able to try to track down the same os version you had before?
Have the same issue with my i717

I flashed back to 4.2.2 and then tried restore, but no luck. It gave me the same error (Error while restoring /data).
Nexus 7 wifi 2012 tablet
I spent 4 solid days reading, tinkering, setting up apps how I like them, only to find each time I needed to restore from an image it would fail.
I tried restoring from comp using NRK option to restore a Nandroid image. Several times, different images. They all failed to complete.
I made two different backups from within boot menue of TWRP. Both failed during the restore.
The only success I have had is with restoring a factory image using NRK
Why are the images failing to restore?
EDIT
Starting using clockwork mod
Same thing happens. Restore image
error while restoring system.
Main reason I wanted to unroot was to create backup images but might as well go back to stock if no fix. :crying:

You do realise this is thread for Nexus 7 2013 and NOT 2012? Write in the right section and quote me there for an answer!
Quote me in case you expect a reply!
Good Luck
Okay let me start by saying that I have 3 backups of my entire phone made through TWRP. Yesterday I was configuring some flashable ZIPs to install a simple app like SMSgo through recovery. I then installed the ZIP. It was successful but the app was nowhere to be found so I decided to restore a backup. I restored the newest one, when I booted I ran into some problems, I was stuck in a loop of lock screen and boot animation. I then searched the web for solutions. On some forums somebody suggested to wipe internal storage and flash boot.emmc.win from my backup through fastboot. I did so and when I booted my phone was factory fresh and okay. But I didn't have my numbers and sms so I restored a backup... BAD idea. My phone was optimizing apps as I booted, it failed near the end, System UI has stopped it said and then threw me on setup screen without on screen buttons. I tried to restore every single backup I had, the same story with everyone, the best result I got was that it optimized all aps and then crashed system UI.
I went on web and searched for TWRP backups that fit my CID HTC__032 and restored. As I'm typing this I'm running factory fresh 4.4.4 from backup and only OTA I can download is 70mb fix. I didn't update yet cuz I dont have stock recovery.
I am currently not rooted as this downloaded backup wasn't but all backups I made myself are rooted. I have also unlocked bootloader and S-ON running TWRP.
What should i do now? I want to get to stock (preferably get one of my backups working) so I will be able to receive OTAs
The downloaded back is for HTC__032cid, 3.28.401.6 version as it was one of few which had working download links.

Also worth mentioning that when I rooted before all this happened I had problems with crashing of TV app and I couldn't browse internal storage that I solved with:
adb shell
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0

Here's a stock recovery download.
Here's a stock rooted backup. I'm not sure if that's really what you are looking for though.
You could also try running the 4.16.401.10 RUU to update. That would clean up your phone so that you can start with a fresh slate. The RUU download is here.
After the RUU, you should be able to restore your nandroids. Probably after the OTAs as well.
As I'm typing this I have successfully flashed stock recovery and made an OTA update with my phone from 3.28.401.6 on 4.16.401.10, what concerns me is that I cannot access internal storage and TV app is crashing.
Same problem as my previous post:

Also I can't turn on WIFI after OTA so I'll try to run that RUU and report if the problem fixes itself. I don't really want to mess with root unless I have to.
EDIT: RUU fails with error code 155: UNKNOWN ERROR, shall I just do what used to work before? or you have other ideas?
Edit2: Did a factory reset and all problems are gone. Just obe more thing, the mobile signal seems weak, is it possible that my radio got messed up? Can I restore radio from one of my backups ?
2 days ago i tried to restore using twrp and it had an error while restoring data every time i tried. The red line was "createtarfork() process ended with error 255". I had to install stock rom.
My qestion is why this happens? how to to avoid it?
After flashing rom i tried a a backup from twrp.now backup showed the same problem.reading online i found that before backup i have to remove pascode and fingerprint.after i did that backup was succesfull.but i still dont know the restore procces if it will work.
