TWRP nandroid backup on SD card with Marshmallow

I have a question about doing a TWRP backup and restore from an SD card. I was able to backup my current ROM to my SD card (I should note that I am running Marshmallow and using my SD card as adoptable storage), but I am not able to access the backup from my PC or from any file manager app on the phone.

the backup appears to be in /external_sd/media/0/TWRP/backups but I can't seem to find that folder anywhere to copy that backup folder to my PC. Is there a way to overcome this?

Error 255 in TWRP when making a Nandroid Backup

Hello friends !

So to install CM13 on my tab (GT-P5110) i need to make a Nandroid Backup.
Unfortunately, when at 75 % of the backup, the log of TWRP says me : E : createTarFork process ended with error=255
Any clues to resolve this issue ?

Thank you.

Nandroid Backup

Hello people I have returned back to this faithful site and I am rocking a Nexus 6p since November but after sticking with stock which I partially don't mind I'm just butthurt about one thing and one thing only. There is no specific app out there or even adb backup that does the job like nandroid does.
No my questions are...
Before you could boot into custom recovery without actually flashing the .IMG file is it the same with 6.0 with the locked bootloader?
Second is does unlocking the bootloader wipe the device?

Thanks in advance guys

Question about flashing nandroid backups

I want to know that when we flash specific partition images (say system.img, data.img, cache.img, etc.), then how does the software know where exactly to put those partition bytes? For example, if I flash system.img, which CHS/LBA sector will it consider as beginning of that block? If it is based on the MBR/EBR1 tables, what will happen if I'm flashing the MBR/EBR1 too?

The reason I'm asking is that I want to change the partitioning in EBR1 slightly, so that more space is allocated to /data partition instead of /sdcard. I've got an old but good conditioned MediaTek (MTK-6577) based smart-phone called Karbonn-A30 which is great in build quality and almost every other aspect, but it only has 500MB of Internal Storage (/data partition in Linux lingo) which is not good enough for apps. Presently, the MBR and EBR1 partitions are thus:

Quote:

$disktype MBR --- MBR Regular file, size 512 bytes DOS/MBR partition map Partition 1: 2.000 TiB (2199023255040 bytes, 4294967295 sectors from 1024) Type 0x05 (Extended) Partition 2: 10 MiB (10485760 bytes, 20480 sectors from 18432) Type 0x83 (Linux) Partition 3: 10 MiB (10485760 bytes, 20480 sectors from 38912) Type 0x83 (Linux) Partition 4: 650 MiB (681574400 bytes, 1331200 sectors from 113152) Type 0x83 (Linux) $disktype EBR1 --- EBR1 Regular file, size 512 bytes DOS/MBR partition map Partition 1: 376 MiB (394264576 bytes, 770048 sectors from 1443328) Type 0x83 (Linux) Partition 2: 1.293 GiB (1388314624 bytes, 2711552 sectors from 2213376) Type 0x83 (Linux) Partition 3: 1.998 TiB (2196501691904 bytes, 4290042367 sectors from 4924928) Type 0x83 (Linux)

Why this last partition which corresponds to /sdcard is left so large (1.998 TiB) is beyond my understanding! Since there is a good 2.5GB of space available on my actual /sdcard partition, I was thinking if I can alter the EBS1 and change the LBA addressing so that the third partition starts from 2097152 additional sectors (which comes to 1024MB or 1GB which is good enough for me), will it automatically increase my /data partition by 1GB and decrease the /sdcard by 1GB correspondingly? On XDA and other forums, I've read that people have successfully done this mod and achieved the change in partition sizes, but I first want to understand how it happens.

Strange pin needed after restore of Nandroid backup with TWRP

Guys,
my OP3 is bootloader unlocked, rooted and encryption switched off.
Standard system was OOS 3.1.2. I installed the update to 3.2.1 via TWRP zip and found some bugs, so I decided to use the [ROM] [6.0.1] Unofficial CyanogenMod 13
from Grarak. Did a full wipe installed and all is ok. Now comes the strange thing:
I wanted to restore the original backup and it worked. When I rebooted, the system asks me for the SIM card sim and then the system says:
"for the new start of the device you need to enter the pin"

The ony pin I ever used for the card and not knowingly for the device doesn't work.
Neitehr 0000 nor 1234 works. Which means I can't restore the nand backup.
Does anyone have an idea what this behaviour is and how to work around?

TWRP Nandroid backup issues

Hi all, I've been having an issue with TWRP in that my backup size is huge. The data partition takes up about 8gb compressed and over 14 uncompressed. This is an absurdly large amount, does anyone know why it is this big? I tried clearing a lot of apps and space but the difference was negligible.

Also, managed to get just enough space to run a backup but deleting more than I'd have liked to, but then the backup keeps failing because i get the "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255".

Can anyone help me address my issues? This is the last step i have before flashing a new rom.

I'm running TWRP 3.0.0 on my LG G3 D850 with CloudyG3 2.2

TWRP won't restore my nandroid, stock htc one m8 rom

I need help desperately. I made a backup a few weeks ago of all of the partitions using TWRP on my htc one m8. I'm running stock 5.0.2 rom, unlocked bootloader, rooted. I also tried a different version of TWRP (the latest one), same results!

Today I wanted to try and update to marshmallow using the OTA so I unrooted and proceeded to load it. Well it worked fine but wouldn't get passed the HTC One white screen.

So I tried a nandroid and it flashes everything except DATA.. When it gets to the data part it finishes in 2 seconds and does no writing!

I tried wiping (not a full wipe of data/media) data and no luck. I copied my backup from my PC of the same nandroid to the internal storage (thinking the restore from external where it originally saved wasn't reading) and no change.

No luck. P.S. The OTA update was only 77mb from AT&T and it caused all of this. I had unmodified stock rom, and only had it rooted for root required apps.

Please need help fast!

Help with Nandroid Backupping

Hey,

I have a Samsung S6, and want to install my first ever ROM (gonna be Cyanogen Mod 12 or 13). It's recommended that I backup my device, but need help with using TWRP.

I clicked 'Backup' in recovery, and it comes up with options to backup: Boot, System, Data, Cache, EFS and another thing I can't remember. I assume I need to backup Boot and System, because I am assuming that this is the Marshmallow OS and Boot. I also want to backup Data, because I do not want to lose my apps, pictures and music. However, to backup all of them at once is too large of a file.

Instead, I decided to backup them all separately, then move them over to my PC and delete them from my phone. My question is, if I want to restore my phone, is it possible to restore each backup separately, of do I need to join them up into one file. If so, how do I do it?

Cheers in advance :))

P.S. DO I NEED TO BACKUP THE EFS, CACHE AND OTHER THING I CANNOT REMEMBER???
