Full Backup (incl. Data partition) via TWRP? - Sony Xperia XZ1 Questions & Answers

Hi, I'm looking for an overall guide how to do a full backup (from XZ1 #1) and restore (on XZ1 #2) of a currently running ROM which includes also all data.
My XZ1 has an unlocked bootloader and TWRP installed. But last time I tried, I was not able to create a backup of the data partition in TWRP!?

Thank you for this fine version of twrp.
I am getting this error when making a full backup (ticked all partitions)
"error backing up system image, cleaning up folder"
I am running stock 47.2.A. 10.45 and j4nn kernel. Ric is off (i can write in system) and twrp are flashed.
i press "cancel" when asking for a password.
Normally the twrp just backup everything without any issues, so i must do something wrong??
Kind regards torben5247

I can't remember.... sorry.
But I have used twrp with a password. So it works

That is good news! There is at least one TWRP version which is able to do a full backup including encrypted DATA partition, right? Or do I have to delete all fingerprints and locks before backupping?

[Q] How to rollback CPU overclocking

Hello all,
I can't find in the forum a way of setting back the CPU speed to one that does not boot the phone. Is there a way of booting like in single user or safe mode to change the parameter back to 768Mhz ? I am avoiding to reflash the phone.
thanks

if you can access to recovery and were using an app to overclock you can mount /system and delete the app
if not you should have kept a backup to safely factory reset
which rom are you using?

Thanks! I am using MiniCM7-2.1.4 so it's part of the system settings. I tried now to re-flash without wiping off the directories and did not work. I could restore my last backup but it was done before upgrading the ROM so I am not sure it's usable.

the backup was a miniCM7-2.1.X version?
if yes, restore the backup and immediately flash the rom
(if not, you should have read that the first thing after upgrading is to perform a backup [one before and one after] to rollback safely )

Yes! That is exactly what I did.. restored a recent backup 'before flashing from CM7.1' and flashed the MiniCM7-2.4.1 right away and seems to be all cool for now.
Thanks for the tips

from which version was the backup?
if you have any performance problem you'll need at least format sd and then reflash (after copying your files and not .android_secure and so on)

[TUTORIAL] HowTo Decrypt the Phone and have a Working Full Backup

Update May 23 2019
Now with new Twrp wzsx150 u dont need to follow this Tutorial to get full Backup to work because twrp can Auto decrypt your files
For all Who followed the guide already and want a encrypted device. Do a Format and dont use remove forceencrypt.
New twrp
https://mega.nz/#!TG4RwCrJ!9E0gOOoDaWjtSIS9GoB0pGvCc2BhRU7rSTNNJbAeUxc
---------------------------
Hello
Many people ask me to make a Tutorial HowTo have a full decrypt phone with full backup working.
Before we start u need to flash the newest Recovery from wzs150 Team https://mega.nz/#!WOZEBCpD!UlyCdDaP-UxuwvzLzDE4yzaqi5qMz-I8iOkseQ5gmP0
Steps to flash recovery should be already known or are available in other Threads on xda
So Now lets begin.
First of all you need to know you need to do format Data through the following process. So Backup your Data on your PC, TWRP NOT working
Lets Start.
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Format Data in Wipe Section (The one you need to type yes) i dont reboot TWRP after that
3. Flash the Rom u want
4. Go Back to the Start Screen of TWRP and Click "Advanced" and "RM Forceencrypt"
5. Uncheck "Remove DM Verity" and check "Remove Forceencrypt"
6. Now youre phone is full decrypted and Backup of all partitions are working
7. If u want Magisk flash it now
Notes:
Dont boot your phone before you did the "RM Forceencrypt" step or your decryption gets lost
If u update ur Rom you ALWAYS need to do Step 4 and 5
If u coming from another Rom and want to restore the Rom u need also to restore "Boot"
If u flashing now another Rom you dont need to do format data,wipe data is enough, but always RM Forceencrypt after Rom Flash
Have a nice day
Greetings from Germany
Nice, thx for that ! =)
Great tutorial thanks. Less frustrated flash rounds.

Boot is one of the Partitions u can Backup. Its where Ur Kernel is located
I dont uncheck "Remove DM Verity" and working too. I select both. Good guide, thanks.
Thanks for this!
Thanks for the step. I can backup now.
But the next time I update, always need to repeat "Remove Forceencrypt"; otherwise, phone cannot boot.
Assume this is needed until future update twrp version. a bit inconvenient, but ok.
Hello. I now use xiaomi.eu I don't want to format data.
I do a step 4 and 5 and can't backup. When I want to boot system nothing.....
I back to Twrp and make reverse step 5 and flash the same rom I have and system working fine. How to make backup without format data?

Not possible. Maybe only wipe of data works but i didnt tested it. Twrp cant decrypt the data on your Phone it can only prevent the Phone to encrypt it
still no encryption support with twrp beta 10 people call formatting data "decrypt" or "unencrypt" all across board, so it adds to false expectations. would never turn off encryption to get, like, backup?

U can use both to decrypt with my tutorial. B17 only can decrypt the Data Partition while its encrypted. So u can Backup All data with b17 without the need of remove forceencrypt

I've not ried it yet as I don't have the phone yet, but apparently this twrp (mi9-3.3.0-9.0-b17) supports encryption, you can use it to backup your encrypted data partition. Though, I'm probably too late and you've wiped already...
EDIT, just read the rest of the thread, seems I'm a bit late to the party! That twrp is already mentioned!!
I just installed B17 and backed up to SD. Seemed to work fine

Ahhh no. I tried to backup with earlier versions of TWRP and they failed with an error message. This version seemed to backup OK, but I've not tried a restore yet.
I'm just playing with Titanium backup so once I've got a good backup with that, I'll try TWRP B17 and report back.
Cheers
@vtec303 I just had a play and restore seems to work fine. My TWRP is:
recovery-mi9-3.3.0-9.0-b17.img by wzsx150.
Here's what I did:
Booted into TWRP and backed up Data, System and Boot to an OTG SD card
In TWRP performed a factory reset.
Booted into System, went through the Android setup (not wifi) and checked that all my 3rd party apps had disappeared, I had no SMS or calendar events.
Booted into TWRP and did a restore of all 3 partitions from the previous backup.
Booted into System and found all my 3rd party apps, SMS, Calendar and could browse the web so wifi was configured.
Hope this helps
Cheers
Just a bit extra....
As we know, TWRP doen't back up media data (photos music etc) but I was interested to spot that a factory reset using TWRP doesn't delete all that data either. Pretty handy for me as I'm testing out some backup packages and I don't have to restore all my media files lol.
Cheers

TWRP extractfork 255 error and Force Encryption

i have two huge problems like i mention in thread title. Whenever i restore my TWRP backup it gives error and says "Extractfork 255 error" and nothing in internet solved my issue.
My other and biggest problem is phone info says "encrypted" how to disable force encrypt?
Not even a single answer??
You can only disable force encrypt by flashing "patch no fde" file available on most rom threads.
But you will have to format data which will wipe your whole phone and flash the file before rebooting.
The reason your getting the other error is most likely twrp can't decrypt your data seeing as force encrypt is enabled.
And don't expect an answer, nobody here on xda is entitled to get questions answered. Alot of this information could have been accessed online if you just researched yourself instead of waiting over a week for a reply. It's not hard to type into a search engine
You haven't provided much information. Which TWRP version, what are you trying to restore, which steps have you tried and failed, what do you see in the TWRP logs etc. We do not have a crystal ball to guess the answers.
To decrypt the data, flash verity disabler and format data partition from TWRP. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389

Correct me if im wrong but we have just 1 really working twrp and its 3.3.1.2 by Nikesh and im using it. I was really thinking its very simple question. i didnt get why it looks like so complicated ) i tried to restore my nandroid backup and all of sections are succesfull exept /data partition. when it comes to /data partition it gives "extracttark error 255 ". Im still confused why you didnt get my question

What you mean that you flashed patch no fde because no where have you mentioned that you had flashed anything. You won't be able to restore the backup now because your data is encrypted and this twrp can't restore encrypted data.
You need to format data and then flash patch no fde like both of us already said. Then you can make a backup that you can restore later. You can't do anything about your encrypted data now

From what I read, once you enter the correct password in TWRP and it can read data correctly, backup of /data is unencrypted. After the restore, data gets encrypted by system upon the first boot. This can be verified easily with Titanium backup app, which can read and use TWRP backups. At least that's the theory, but I'm too lazy to verify it
If you perform data backup with incorrect password (or TWRP doesn't support decryption), then your backup remains encrypted and is useless as you said.

Ya I apologise this twrp does in fact support data decryption it must have been the older version that didn't support it.
Without twrp logs I doubt there is anything we can do.
But like you suggested it may very well be a password error..but we will never know :silly:
i dont understand what im doing wrong. I installed havocos flashed no fde patch. i tried 3 times installed rom and tried. still encrypted

It restoring good but when it comes to restoring /data partition. it gives "Extracttrakfork Error 255" in red characters. I format data flashed nofde.zip but device encrypts itself again. So i tried to instal HavocOs and flash gapps and flash nofde patch. Havocos install succesfull but gapps flash gives error " Unmounting /vendor update process ended with error 25" :/
i flashed Orangefox recovery problem is still same :/

Oh boy, you're doing too many things at once First of all, what do you want to achieve? Restore stock data? Install custom ROM? Just fooling around?
Data restore -
Are you sure that your data backup is decrypted and functional? Try to restore data from nandroid backup in Titanium backup or simply open the twrp backup files (they are tar archives) and check if you see individual files or just garbage.
You mentioned that you tried "everything", but you haven't mentioned this workaround https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/255-error-twrp-backup-restore-999-t3801632
Provide full twrp.log after failed restore.
Data encryption -
Have you followed steps described here? https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389
Provide full twrp.log after zip installation.
Custom ROM -
Find support in the specific ROM topic (and provide twrp.log after failed installation).

Be careful the TWRP for BS series

Avoid and pass by a fool and a madman
Thanks for this warning post. Glad that we only use it in "boot mode" to extract the boot.img, and backup our system partitions, and we don't install it just to make sure things are not touched. The chinese version TWRP can't read Global version's encrypted user data, so it can't install anything on your phone unless you format the user data within TWRP, I guess.

Well, I only use it to backup system partitions of non-rooted phone and nothing else, so if we could find another way to do that then I can easily ditch it. Otherwise it would be nice if we have our own Global TWRP for sure.

Oh.. you're right. It uses different encryption, so it can't approach to userdata. :good:
Just re-lock the critical sections will be good for global users, and it seems that china users need to be careful. And I didn't see it through. I just stopped at the batch files it uses... It can be merely unofficial twrp. Thank you for your great discovery...

TWRP 3.4 and 3.5 for A20

@Topser99 has provided us with some newly modified recoveries.
They all have TWRP 3.4 and also now 3.5
⇨NewUpdate
-update kernel
By : @physwizz
Follow : @ULtimaTe_Pie2
Follow Galaxy_A20_official
System and System_root
Twrp-sm-a20 - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Choose .img you want and flash it from your current recovery onto the recovery slot.
Then reboot into recovery.
Or choose the .tar to flash from odin
You must be aware though that your previous backups will not restore .
You should read this next section carefully.
TWRP recovery Incompatability Issue
There are 2 types of recovery:
Type 1 backs up /system
Type2 backs up /system_root but labels it "system"
Both types work well but you can't backup on one type and restore on the other
To overcome this problem, I suggest that filenames of TWRPs should either contain SYSTEM or SYSTEM_ROOT
Also.
TWRP 3.4 is incompatible with TWRP 3.3 and @Topser had modded to produce TWRP 3.4 for us to use.
So now there are 4 types:
1. TWRP 3.3 SYSTEM
2. TWRP 3.3 SYSTEM_ROOT
3. TWRP 3.4 SYSTEM
4. TWRP 3.4 SYSTEM_ROOT
A backup made with one type will not restore with any of the other 3 types.
Post 2
I can confirm TWRP 3.4 SYSTEM version works correctly (including MTP at recovery level). Funnily enough, I just finished porting the A30 version for myself and came up with an almost identical result. I remove the fstab lines for product image, vendor image and system image just to make it cleaner
Thanks for doing this for all @Topser
Whats the difference between system_root and system ?
So this can be installed over 3.3 aswell ?

I just flashed the new recovery, I tested MTP and its working I noticed a new option in settings that allows to unmount system before installing a zip, it was enabled by default, I should disable it right ?

It's disabled by default since most things using recovery work systemlessly. Most packages that use the system mount point will automatically mount system for reading and writing anyway. So there's no need to mess with the toggle.
