I guess he kind of meant that with that tool you don't need to do that. The tool automatically adds the necessary entries to PATH.

Hi, I was going to install Pure Nexus but I'm stuck in bootloop now.

I did a full wipe (system, data, cache, and dalvik cache), then I was going to flash the rom .zip but weirdly couldn't find them. So instead I restored to the backup I made previously. But now I can't boot, it's stuck on Google logo.

How do I get out of there? Holding power and volume key just restarts to the same Google logo.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manpildo:
Which TWRP version? Does it restore system, data and boot?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Goncalo29:
3.0.2-2. yes, restored system, data and boot.

I managed to restart into recovery (from the power and volume key down combination) and flashed Pure Nexus successfully.

But does that mean that the backup I made before is corrupt?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manpildo:
Possibly. Maybe it was made with one of the bugged TWRP versions?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Goncalo29:
Hmm... don't think so, it was with 3.0.2-2 from the official site.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fvisagie:
It could also mean that the backup was "incomplete" in the sense of not containing internal storage (/data/media). In a similar case a backup I restored failed to run because the app storage in /data/data referenced data in /data/media that was no longer there (I hadn't backed up and restored that).

IIRC I managed to get it booting somewhat by also clearing out /data/data while in recovery. Once in Android, when some apps still force closed I cleared out their individual storage under Settings.Apps.

While that proves the point it's somewhat round-about, and a much shorter way of course is just to factory reset from custom recovery and install your ROM ;). Which you couldn't find at the time, granted.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TW1ST3D1NS4N3:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manpildo:
I'm wondering who made this? I've seen this been thrown around here, but it's definitely not official because it's not on TWRP website. How trustworthy is this and what is its advantage over official?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Mayday_XL:
I flashed back to MM, install TWRP, updated to N and now everything is fine. :good:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] khanjui:
As I know it's open source. And EFS backup is working fine which is buggy on official build. Also latest MultiROM TWRP from jollaman999 is updated and bugs are fixed.

Has it been inspected for malicious behaviour?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] The_Jacoz:
It was made by original author, you can see that HERE
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] leolawliet:
It has been working fine for me, in fact better than official TWRP. I haven't had problems flashing anything or getting bootloops, I know I'm not providing real evidence but hey you're not gonna find out till you try, you have a Nexus and if anything goes wrong you're not ending up with a bricked phone but something that can easily be restored.

I say **** it just do it :good:
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] manpildo:
Yeah, did it yesterday.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dustbuster:
I had a similar problem. Just flashed twrp-3.0.2-2-bullhead.img, did a backup of system and boot, and then to verify that it worked, I did a restore of that backup... and it gets stuck at the Google logo.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
in twrp you have to backup system, boot and data, nothing else. I did this 2 times recently and the recovery process worked without any issues.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pkelly517:
I believe that the -2 version has issues with backup/restore.

Look for the -3 version in the thread.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] *boy*racer*:
I have the same issue. Just tried with -3 and still the same.

Trying to backup/restore stock 7.0 :(

EDIT: I'm able to boot if i just flash system.img through fastboot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hilla_killa:
Ive had no issues with -3 ive restored 7.0 backups as well as going back to mm. My mm backup restored perfect on 3
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] *boy*racer*:
Hmmm Strange. I did notice that it said something about mount system read only within the mount button. Should this be ticked or unticked? It was ticked by default. Maybe because it was, i done a backup and restore and it never restored the system image?

Thanks
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] hilla_killa:
Im not sure but i know that i swiped to allow modifications! And havr had no problems.i dont care about otas or anything like that with not writing to system. Maybe it could be why! But i cant answer thst 100% for you, sorry
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] *boy*racer*:
Thanks mate. Na tried again but still stuck. Just spent 1h setting up my phone again and now it's bricked again :( i give up backing up stock rom.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razrlover:
I have had it happen to me as well. I have flashed supersu 2.78 then it booted. On boot i tried both supersu and wiping data, or custom kernel.

**Now i back up system image and boot and no issues restoring 7.0 or 7.1. Multiple attempts and success with rwrp -3
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] *boy*racer*:
Oh OK. I'll try root it and do a backup afterwords.

Thanks for your reply

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dustbuster:
To recap, 3.0.2-1 and 3.0.2-2 each have different critical backup/restore bugs (see pg. 41 of this thread), 3.0.2-3 is unofficial/untested by the dev but might work in certain cases, and earlier builds (<= 3.0.2-0) don't work with Android N encryption. AFAIK there are no other recoveries that can do backup/restore.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mcerk02:
OK.... Question.... Yesterday I unlocked bootloader, flashed TWRP 3.0.2-3 and rooted following this guide.... http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930 ....I am not a noob at all so everything was pretty familiar..... everything went pretty smooth but TWRP does not "stick" meaning every time I want to go back into recovery, I have to re-flash TWRP... I did not decrypt because the guide says it is not necessary with TWRP 2.8.7.1 or newer.... I realize that is an older guide so is there something new with android N that I need to do? Is the encryption causing this? Is this the wrong version on TWRP I should be using?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pkelly517:
fastboot flash TWRP.img

Reboot to recovery, not system. I think that's how I did it.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Goncalo29:
If nothing as changed since I did it, you also have to flash root or custom ROM, otherwise it will revert to the stock recovery.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
yep, enter twrp after flashing it and before booting into OS, then flash SuperSu and reboot.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] razrlover:
Confirmed worked for me too, above post
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] pkelly517:
Leave it to me to post a half-assed solution.

At least my half was correct :)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mondaza:
When back up our ROM, is it neccesary do of all parts or wich have to select?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] fvisagie:
This is where I tried to work out the answer by myself ;).

The decision what to back up boils down to what you cannot restore from your device's factory image. In other words, at least the EFS partition, then the initialised data partition if that's important to you, and any other partitions you may have modified that are important to you.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ulxerker:
in general you're good with twrp's pre-selection, in detail boot, system and data. I did this several times and hadn't issues when restoring the phone.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] TPMJB:
Does anyone have a build of this where you can convert to F2FS? I cannot find ANYWHERE a way to convert to F@FS and the option isn't present on 3.0.2-0 or 3.0.2-2. I cannot find 3.0.2-2 anywhere that will work.

Can I flash a new version of TWRP using TWRP or FlashFire without loosing data or otherwise compromise my Nexus 5x?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Midomad:
Yes.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] thorrules:
hello everyone, I upgraded to official 7.1.1 Nougat image from google. I do not want to root my phone, because I need some apps which do not like root. However, I would like to flash TWRP and then flash my preferred fonts. So as usual, I updated my manually (flash boot, cache, system, vendor etc.), I did not flash the stock recovery because I wanted it to stay on TWRP. However, on booting I lost TWRP. So I downloaded the latest official version - 3.0.2-2 and flashed my fonts. The flashing of fonts did not work, and I again lost TWRP on reboot. This never happened to me when I was on 7.0 stock. So my question is, how do I let TWRP stick and how do I make sure TWRP works with 7.1.1 to flash the fonts.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] alfick3:
From READING older posts, I've read that on the newer f/w Android will automatically replace any custom recovery unless a custom kernel or root is flashed.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] Nnyan:
Hello all,

Been searching for this and haven't found anything but I need to update my bootloader, radio and vendor (.img files) and I can't use my work pc (so no fastboot). I know TWRP has the ability to flash .img files but during each it asks me to select a partition. I'm figuring that bootloader-bullheadxxx.img goes into BOOT and vendor-n5d91l.img goes into VENDOR but where does the radio-bullhead-m8994fxxx.img go to?

Thank you for your help!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
You cannot flash bootloader or radio using TWRP's "install IMG" option. Boot, system, and vendor can be installed. Bootloader.img is NOT the same as boot.img.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] thorrules:
Thank you! It worked now that I flashed ElementalX. And it makes sense too, because in the past I was using custom kernel so never had this problem. Thank you once again and apologies for my laziness to not search enough!

Hi ! I have a problem because I encrypt my device with developer option "Convert to file-based encryption", and now in twrp recovery when I would like to flash zip, I see many folder named like "rhd,7482-_+gdhsjsb" who are empty :-/

Anyone have a solution ?

Thanks

(Sorry for my English, I'm French)
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] SlimSnoopOS:
The TWRP versions available for 5X aren't compatible with file based encryption. Turn off that setting and wipe the entire phone using fastboot:

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] nirogu325:
A deeper search brings you to this other suggestion. That one is available for flashing using jolla's kernel with has a separate section inside the AROMA installer for flashing that TWRP build.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] zurik:
The 3.0.2-3 version of TWRP have the bug with EFS backup and when someone try to restore it, will brick the device?

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ViRb3:
Love the updated design, guys! Thank you for the release!
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] ViRb3:
I think that TWRP has issues wiping partitions, and here's why:

BusyBox installed in /system, even after I wipe the partition BusyBox is still there and functional;

Wiping cache/dalvik-cache doesn't make Android rebuild its cache (no 'Android is optimizing app X of Y');

Battery stats remain even after a /system /cache /dalvik-cache wipe and ROM re-flash.

I would love if somebody could correct me.

Best regards

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] dave2775:
Is the encryption status in security settings accurate then? Mine says encrypted but I thought the toolkit used the modified boot image to install TWRP?
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] jackdubl:
I made a backup and the size is right. Backup completed successfully. Haven't tried to restore.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] mskip:
Was the device wiped after flashing the modified boot image? You do not need any modification to the system to flash TWRP but before 2.8.7.2 added decryption support (enabling the custom recovery to decrypt the system) it was neccessary to flash the modified boot image and then erase userdata to allow twrp to work.

Sorry I think I got carried away lol.

Yes the status in settings, security is accurate. If you flashed the modified boot image but you are still encrypted then im guessing you didn't wipe the device. If you do that then you will decrypt the device but either way you can still use TWRP.

Mark.
[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] formula91:
Just letting everyone know that decryption doesn't work when you boot it from fastboot. You have to flash the recovery on the phone.

I do not know if decryption can be done by booting it from fastboot, but there you have it.

[Nexus 5X Original Android Development] srnoth:
After restoring in TWRP, open ADB and run "rm /data/system/*.key".

This will remove whatever lock you had before backing up. However, if you try to go into Settings to re-add security, Settings will force close.

To get around this, I used Android Device Manager to "lock" the phone with a password, which you can then go into Settings and change.
