I just got 2 K20s today from Metro bc it looked very easy to unlock the bootloader, root and install RR (my favorite ROM). Bootloader was no problem, root was no problem but I'm getting Error 255 everytime I try to install a ROM whether it be RR or AICP. I did see some things in the forums about 64 bit problems and whatnot. I'm pretty well versed in installation via recovery and ADB but I've had ZTE devices for the past 2 years so I may be a bit rusty. Can someone provide me with steps/files I may need?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THORMUNZ:
Currently I had damage a new phone in the process of transferring a twrp backup from my gold note 8 onto my black note 8, but now silly of me I didn't realize I tried restoring the efs partition as well causing me to have a bad partition. Now, I currently manage to fix the efs partition and solve some issues im just stuck in trying to find the file in which I can alter the IMEI as currently its 00000000000 i've checked NV_data, but I cant seem to find the offset that contains it i've tried searching it on my working phone to see if I can spot the imei so I can find the right offset, but no dice.

edit: I've solved my problem i'm not sure if it'll work for you, but what I did was root my device, delete the efs folder which eventually game "000000000" imei and the baseband wasn't appearing as unknown anymore, then within the new efs folder that was created on its own there was a folder called efsec in which it contained !svc and svc files, so I extracted these files and edit these files with notepad++ which within there was an option for imei and it showed me all 0000000 so I imputed the original imei, and finally after a reboot I reflashed stock and then flashed a combination file which when it booted up it automatically restored my imei
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smarty8:
Thanks for the answer. I would like to clarify one point ...

I realized that you replaced the parameter "deviceID": "00000000000" in SVC and !SVC files (in the newly created /efs/ sec_efs folder) with your original IMEI.

But what does "and then

flashed

a combination file" mean?

With which software did you flashed the modified SVC and !SVC files?

Maybe you just replaced SVC and !SVC files with 00000000000 IMEI onto SVC and !SVC with your original IMEI via RootExplorer for ex.?

[Honor 7X  Questions & Answers] ZentixZaneic:
I've unlocked my bootloader, and tried to install TWRP (the BND-L21 version, it seemed to work fine for other US users) so I could flash a generic boot image like LineageOS 15. It flashed without problems, but when trying to boot to it, I get the following error:

Attention!

Please update system again

[picture of open Android logo]

Func NO : 11 (recovery image)

Error NO : 2 (load failed!)

However, I can boot into the system without problems. I've tried to use erecovery to download the firmware and install the update, but that failed.

Is there a way I can either:

A. Install TWRP so I have a recovery? or

B. Install the default firmware so I can have the stock recovery?

P.S. Here's the command I used:

fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk (name of recovery file here)

Additionally, can I downgrade thru Odin?

Now, I tried each one, and after some use and installing a lot of apps: BAM! It crashed, the bootanimation appeared, without even rebooting and then it rebooted, but stayed on a bootloop.

(Also, I tried M5 kernel to see if it helps, but it did not.)

What is going on? :confused:

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
UPDATE: I have since updated to official 5.1.6 via OTA flashed TWRP and Magisk. The backup finished successfully with no sign of 255 error and once rebooted the USER ID and all 999 folders were still gone after the update and switched slots.

Only tested on OnePlus 6 but file structure should be the same on any device running Android O. Must be rooted to grant Terminal Emulator root permission. You cannot remove a user without root.

If anyone has had the 255 error while trying to create a backup file or trying to restore with TWRP. This error pertains to the parallel apps or multi user ID. If you are not sure if you have parallel apps running on your OnePlus 6 or other devices you can do a quick check by go into your Root browser and look in these locations.

/storage/emulated

/data/system/

data/system_ce/

data/system_de/

data/misc/

data/misc_ce/

data/misc_de/

data/user/

data/user_ce/

data/user_de/

If you see any folder named 999 then you have parallel apps enabled on your device. TWRP in it's current form will not allow you to create a backup or restore a backup with parallel apps enabled.

Currently there is only one solution that I have found to be able to delete all of the 999 folders and that is to open a terminal emulator to each of these locations and remove the 999 folders individually. I have found a solution where you can delete the user ID and by doing so it removes all of the 999 folders and not only does it remove the folders they do not return once you reboot your device. The solution is simple so let's get to it.

Install Terminal Emulator from the play store

Open Terminal and type

su

Press enter and grant root permission

Next type

pm remove-user 999

Press enter

Close Terminal and reboot

Once rebooted go back to your Root browser and check the locations listed above to ensure the 999 folders are gone. That's all, Enjoy.

I'm on official TWRP.

I have a backup of Renovate 2.0, which worked without any errors, but after I ran into issues with the 2.1 flash (bootloop) I wanted to restore my backup, which fails with the 255 error at the Data partition, the rest restores fine.

Now I was in TWRP terminal to do the above, but I couldn't find / delete any of the 999 folders. I also didn't have any other IDs on 2.0, nor did I have any security features active at the time of my backup.

What will this operation do for me with a complete but unrestorable backup anyway, surely it won't delete folders out of my backup?

What triggers the error, the destination (ROM) or the backup file?

Is there a way to get into my backup from TWRP terminal?

Any other ideas?

Thanks for any input!
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
The directions that are listed above are to be used inside terminal emulator once your phone is booted up and before you make the backup. I'm not sure if you can actually take files out of the backup especially from your device. That may be something you have to pull from the device and put onto your computer to accomplish
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Flying Fox:
boot, system image, vendor image, data.. and you are on the safe side.

Once I made a backup of boot, system, vendor, data (no images) I had to flash OOS afterwards. I don´t completely understand the difference between first and second way, finally both worked. But for sure it is not necessary to mark all partitions.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] ysco:
Thanks for pointing out the steps for a successful backup.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
I backup everything to reduce the amount of steps for the restore process. If you check every box during the backup process you do not have to Flash the OS during restore. Yes it does take up more space but the restore process is simple if you do. By checking every box all you have to do is restore your backup and then Flash magisk and you're done no need to flash the OS

Actually you don't have to make a backup of system AND system image as well as you usually don't buy apples AND apples and pears. You just need the system image (and boot, vendor, data) to perform a complete and success backup.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] angadsingh:
I don't have parallel apps or multi-user. What I have is a "work profile" (latest feature by gsuite which is mandated by my organization). Work profiles isolate work/company account data into a separate encrypted/remote wipable silo. Android creates copies of the apps for the work profile. This is causing a folder called "/data/system_ce/10" which is failing to backup. Any solution for TWRP to work with work profiles? Ideally, can I "ignore" folders to not be backed up so that TWRP nandroid backups can work.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] dgunn:
You will have to remove those folders from the system before you can do a backup. Maybe cut and paste them onto an OTG drive, do the backup and then replace the folders. Twrp will not backup any multi-user accounts and that is exactly what gsuite has made.

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] PeterGuru:
Restore does not work ...

I'm having the same problem. I simply cannot restore a TWRP backup. It always produces an error 255.

No, I do not have any "999" folder/files, nor do I have any lockscreen security. I also do not have parallel apps or anything involving multi-user.

I'm extremely experienced at flashing ROMs, as well as performing Nandroids and restoring them.

Nothing I've done is working. As I said, I simply cannot restore the data partition. That's when I get the 255 error. System restores fine, but that's it.
