TWRP Restore Puts Device in APX Mode - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I made a TWRP backup of a good Xiaomi Mi3TD and proceeded to restore that backup on a completely identical Mi3TD but after the restore completes and I restart the phone, it enters into APX mode and I have to flash it with NVFLASH to get it working again but the restore I made will be gone.
What could be causing this? I backed up all the possible partitions and also restored all of them. TWRP doesn't throw any errors when restoring the backup. Please help me.

Nandroid restore going back to recovery menu

I'm trying to restore a nandroid backup and after all the restore process going ok in the reboot it's always going back to the original classic android restore menu. I've tried "reinstall packages" so to go back to clockwork mode recovery, and that's what happens, clockwork mode installs back but at every reboot i'm back to original android restore menu.
there are only 2 messages i'm getting after the restore procedure:
".android_secure.img not found. skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure."
"sd-ext.img not found. skipping restore of /sd-ext/."
is this normal?
what I did now was first installing the original bionix rom that I was using in that nandroid backup and after that restoring the nandroid backup and it worked. very strange.

TWRP Backup & Restore HELP!

I'll try and keep this short and to the point, any other info you require to help me out i'll add.
My Z5c is running 32.4.A.1.54, unlocked bootloader and rooted using rootkernel which adds TWRP.
Straight after rooting and after initial setup of the phone I started TWRP and created a backup, all available partitions were selected and the back completed. I then copied it to my PC.
Anyway, no the problem. I was messing with the phone and then after every boot of the phone i kept getting some app crashes. No problem i thought i'll just restore my backup in TWRP. I selected to restore the system and data partion ONLY, then wiped cache & dalvik and rebooted.
It didn't reboot, just the sony logo then a loop back to the sony logo and then into TWRP again. What did I do wrong?
So i decided to restore all partitions except the TA one and that resulted in the same problem. So recover i just flashed stock with flashtool and all is well.
My question is regarding TWRP and restoring a backup. Which partitions do you have to restore? All of them? What is safe to omit when doing a restore?

The old TWRP in rootkernel had a backup problem if i remember correctly. Use a newer TWRP.
Thanks, i'll use 'your' TWRP from here.

Bootloop aftert restoring a TWRP backup

As the title says I always get a bootloop into recovery when the restore process finishes.
I tried everything, flashing the same rom as in the backup before restoring, however it never boots normally.
As I am on a stock MIUI 13 I flashed the stock image and then restored the backup, still a bootloop into recovery.
No matter what I do I am unable to restore my TWRP backup, so every time I want to try a new ROM I end up reinstalling everything from scratch.
Is it because my data is encrypted, or dynamic partitions? This never happened with any of my previous phones, is it possible to restore a backup on Mi10?

Backups and restore on the TWRP with some phone models does not work correctly either because it does not decrypt or is too old compared to the rom or you try to restore an older rom version on a more recent rom and sometimes the reverse also does not work (because of the system).
Try a more recent Twrp (just in case) but anyway the restoration will not be done with a more recent Twrp.
If you are on MIUI micloud works relatively well but obviously you can only restore the data not the system.

try flashing miui 12 rom first, then restore twrp back up (format data also before restoring)
and chose the latest version of twrp for android 11 or 12 (depends on your Rom)
maybe it will work
