Guys,

Anyone having trouble backing up data in twrp 3.1.1-2 i get this error " unable to locate boot partition for backup " but it says backup successful. Any ideas why? Im on the latest 4.1.6
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] tk8lm6:
What's that file you have to delete so that the device encryption password is not retained across reboots?

In the past when trying to restore a nandroid backup onto a wiped device, when I have to enter the pin at first login after restore, it says wrong PIN. You know what I mean?

Guys, i am about to first time install TWRP on Oneplus 3T stock oxygen 4.1.6/7.1.1 in order to root with Magisk 13.3 afterwards.

-Can someone verify which TWRP version is safe to get (very confused after reading all comments) ?

-Is there a compatible TWRP version that will not wipe my data?

Thank you!

[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] soder:
I didn't have any problem with /1 folder. Only that when transferring the files back in TWRP, there was some mix-up for TWRP and MTP with where to put the files.

Instead of /data/media/0 which also is the same as /sdcard the MTP to my Mac and the file transfer app (Mac you know) it became a mix with /sdcard/0. It full path was /data/media/0/0 and the first 3 parts of the path was as it should mounted as /sdcard and therefore /sdcard/0

I found an old and not updated app called Nandroid Manager that could restore my sms from the Nandroid backup. But to restore MMS I need the Pro version of the app, and it feels kind of dumb for an non updated app.

Is there a smarter way? Can't Titanium Backup restore from a Nandroid?

[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] ScratMan38:
A Nandroid is a disk image, you can mount it on your pc using appropriate freewares, extract the SMS database and place it back on your phone.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] Doc Sniper:
No, not all parts of the backup are disk images.

Analysis of the files in a TWRP backup directory:

boot.emmc.win: Android bootimg, kernel, ramdisk, page size: 4096, cmdline (...)

data.ext4.win: gzip compressed data, last modified: ..., from Unix

system.ext4.win: gzip compressed data, last modified: ..., from Unix

And after uncompressing them two files/partitions are identified as tar archives not disk images:

data.ext4: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

system.ext4: POSIX tar archive (GNU)

This makes sense, because then it's easy to change the files system and restore the files.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] scoobyjenkins:
I've lost messages whenever I restore a backup on older versions of TWRP, so I always use SMS backup and restore app to back my messages up too so if I need to restore I can also restore my messages. If I receive a message before restoring, it won't get overwritten, so it's a good app to have!

[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] soder:
What app are you talking about? This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore

or this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync or someone else?

I use the later one myself, but mostly to get my sms messages searchable in Gmail (I sync them to Gmail). There's a restore function in there to, but I don't really thing getting them back from Gmail would make really great restore..

There's an function in Titanium backup for backing SMS up, but I didn't do one now. =( Also, I'm not really sure which one it is I should backup and later restore. Someone that knows can please tell me.

[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] soder:
You know my setup.

Was on OOS 4.0.2. Did a nandroid of data. Moved /sdcard to computer. Formated /data from F2FS to EXT4. Moved nandroid back to /sdcard, did a restore, and then transferred the rest of the files back to /sdcard. Booted up. The content that should be in /sdcard was in /sdcard/0 and I got 2 SMS. Those was the only I got in the app. I then with adb shell moved the stuff from /sdcard/0 to /sdcard.

I've been using SMS Backup+ for years and it's never failed me once. It saves your messages to a folder in your gmail so you're guaranteed never to lose them and you can manage them from there if you want to delete them
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] Kokovitch:
What I did :

- Relocking my bootloader , doing FULL wipe (Data, internal etc), wanted to get back to full stock

- Installed OOS 4.0.0

- Unlocked bootloader

- Waited 4.0.2 OTA update

- Flashed TWRP 3.0.4

- Flashed SuperSU 2.79 (No SR)

Everything perfect, No DM verity message , no decryption fail with TWRP (I used the password my OP3 ask me during normal boot)

Thank you guys.

serious bug found with the try-multiple-filesystems patch

(unmount failures, double sdcard mounts, corrupt data, etc.)

if you are using ext4, you can use https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/twrp-data-fstype-swap/twrp-data-fstype-swap-5.1.zip to switch your data partition first-detect / default type in TWRP to ext4 to match it and bypass this bug.

if you are using f2fs, you are not affected and have nothing to worry about.

+1 on Carbonite's SMS Backup & Restore, great app, my whole family uses it
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] mad-murdock:
i used twrp with ext4 quiet extensive (various backup, ROM switcharoo, etc). You say, my ext4 data partition might be corrupted and I should reformat to be sure?
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] jcadduono:
so far seems to only be an issue with internal storage, possibly triggered after factory reset swipe, if your internal storage looks fine then you're fine now but i suggest using the zip.

btw can you please get me a recovery.log, output of "mount", and dmesg of booting twrp before you do flash the zip? need to make sure that it is absolutely ext4 decryption that is the issue.

Stupid question, as I feel like I've missed this or haven't found it anywhere (maybe I missed it), but it seems that no matter what, to change the recovery, I need to root the device, correct?

[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] Nevermindthelabel:
Nope. You can flash an img in twrp or fastboot. Think the app requires root
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] RagingHarry:
No you can flash it via/by fastboot from a PC by commandline when you have it in bootloader mode.

That step is actually the step that you use before rooting ;)

I'd suggest to read the OP carefully, it has all the information to do so.

Just use latest official TWRP or blue sparks from his thread.

Quick question if I back up system partission the os will get back up or the system apps ?
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] nihilista:
If you backup the system partition you will get a backup of system partition ;)

There are two ways, first is to make system image, second is to get a file backup from system partition. First is bigger as its a complete image (like dd), second is a (compressed if activated) archive and much smaller. For all settings and user apps you have to backup data partition...
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] krish@3T:
For the rom which should I back up
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] nihilista:
Don't know what you need? If you need a backup with all settings and apps you have to backup boot+system+data, for system only...as name says, but its the same if you do a fresh install of ROM or restore system partition+boot. System partition only contains ROM and gapps (if installed).
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] rippledrums:

To get rid of dm varity you need to flash the dm verity script thingy, but do you need to do that every time you install a newer version of the os or a custom kernel, or is it only the first time?

and also, I install a new ROM, will i also have to flash dm verity?
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] Sam Nakamura:
If you flash a rom/kernel like oos you need to flash the DM-varity script too, even if you update (the kernel) IMHO, Custom Roms don't have this DM-varity / varified boot check implemented in it's kernels... custom kernels don't have this check either, it's even a workaround for this DM-varity thing to flash a custom kernel, as DM-varity is a kernel feature..

Do some basic reading about this topic here:

https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] enzzo28:
It's weird because many people have to do that, but in my case I just have go to adb and type:

adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"

And the dm verify is gone, you could give it a try and see.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] kessaras:
Flash , update to oos 4.0.2.

Flash dm verity disabler or do it manually giving in terminal the command or manually in terminal again in fastboot mode.

Flash , update to latest oos.

You only disable dm verity check once and never again.

Adding. If you want to decrypt the data partition you can erase userdata in fastboot and go into TWRP and resize data partition to fix the partition table.

Possible to Wipe Data & Cache without rebooting to TWRP?

As with TWRP it takes quiet a long time to reboot in recovery mode, I wonder if there is a work around. Thanks for any tip.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] krish@3T:
You have two options

1. Switch to ext4 partition (take nandroid backup and all the internal storage into pc coz this will format entire internal storage)

2. Switch to bluspark twrp (it won't boot as fast as in ext4 but it will boot faster than official twrp)

Oh ****... Wrong thread. Sorry,
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] rippledrums:
So I'm trying to format my 128gb 3T /data partition as ext4 instead of f2fs but every time I do it (both in Official 3.1.1-2 and latest v41 blu_spark) the partition stays as f2fs.

I tried flashing the no-verity and the ext4 patch in this thread but I still can't change the partition type.

TWRP shows it as f2fs and "cat /proc/mounts" does too.

Am I doing something wrong?

Some help would be appreciated since I can't restart my phone until I restore my backups.

PS: One thing I noticed though, Official TWRP now loads really fast, could it be that the partition is formatted as ext4 but showing as f2fs? :confused:

EDIT: Solved it! Flashed the recovery from this thread (3.0.4-1) along with the ext4 patch and was finally able to format /data as ext4. :D
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] siddharthgpta:
Hi

Are there any known issues with the newer builds (post 3.0.4-1 like 3.1.1-2) that causes the internal storage to be wiped when wiping data partition? It does say wiping /data without wiping /data/media but it wipes everything regardless.

If there are I'll just flash the recovery mentioned on this page and try.

EDIT: Solved by flashing the build linked in the thread. If you are in a similar situation as I was switch to the latest build posted here. Idk why the latest builds are working as they are, but this build (3.0.4-1) works perfectly.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] mr.charlie:
Maybe, but I don't feel like to share my other problems with you.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] WhipeeDip:
FWIW, 3.1.1-2 wipes /data without /data/media perfectly fine here. Everything else works fine as well (decryption, flashing, etc). OP3T 64GB running official LOS 14.1 weeklies.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] siddharthgpta:
I guess it was something wrong with my system. anyway I resolved it by flashing this build. not gonna switch unless this page gets updated ?. thanks though!
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] tfae:
What was your reason to do the change?

Apart from TWRP loading faster, do you feel any other improvement on using the phone?
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] rippledrums:
Honestly, it's not faster nor slower. It's exactly the same.

But yeah the faster loading of TWRP is important for someone like me who flashes stuff frequently. :)

Other than that, I think EXT4 is more reliable and time tested and less prone to cause filesystem errors.

I never had problems with F2FS on the OP3T but I had a lot of them on my previous Galaxy S4, especially performance problems. It was actually slower on F2FS.

So those were my reasons. ;)

Hey guys

I just wanted to know will this works

Let say I'm on X room which is based on AOSP I decided to switch to Y rom which is CAF based

So if I take a nandroid backup of data from x rom and restore it to Y rom I can't boot into the phone if I do so everything fc

So we can't restore the data backup made on AOSP to CAF based rom is that true????
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] rippledrums:
I'd say it's because of different settings parameters in those roms that get stored in the data partition. Even system app data is stored in the data partition.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. :)
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] krish@3T:
Then how on Earth can I transfer the data from x to Y

I have titanium backup pro but I always run it to hell lot of problems with that any other way to restore the data ???
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] rippledrums:
Regular apps data should restore without giving you problems using Titanium but system apps data is always tricky. :(

The only system data I backup with Titanium these days are Call Logs and Text Messages.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] dugi9991:
Isn't it better to have a clean install and avoid all possible problems that a restore via TB can cause, especially with system apps as [MENTION=4675804]rippledrums[/MENTION] mentioned?

[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] Nezorflame:
Sometimes it's impossible to restore some apps' data, like Google Authenticator.

Disconnecting all the services before every clean flash and then reconnecting them again is not 'extra work', it's a BIG pain in the ass.

So, in this case, TiBu is the only option.
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] dugi9991:
Hi there [MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION] :)

Yeah, it all depends how often you flash, which apps you use, etc...

Also, you can use a Google Authenticator alternative - Keepass has in built TOTP and you can just copy/paste the database to your phone and use it.

And there are always recovery codes :) I know, it's a pain in the ass, been there, done that, just sayin' :)

In my case, I used TB, but often encountered "random bugs" with some apps, so just gave up. When I do a clean flash, I also wipe the Internal storage (backing it up beforehand), just to be sure nothing stays behind.

In the end, use whatever solution suits you most, you got a choice :)
[OnePlus 3 & 3T Cross Device Development] drakal:
Is this normal that i can't get TWRP on last 4.1.7 update?
