Hello HTC 10 users! I just got this device and thoroughly enjoying the speed and features. I got it s-off, Lees v2.41 rom loaded and using the team viper pnp balanced. Before installing the pnp I wanted to make a backup since I haven't done one since I got the 10. I noticed my data backup is 25GB. I don't even have 4GB used up by the internal space on the 10. In comparison my old m8 ARHD v53.1 backup is around 6GB , that rom was lolipop and using TWRP 3. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Are you sure you are using the latest twrp?
i've not even unlocked yet, but that smells to me like it's looking at an encrypted partition, which it should be, but i can't speak to whether or not that's normal (assuming not). may try posting this ? in the TWRP thread.
That's a huge backup, roughly double the size of a typical backup for me (12.59GB, including boot, data, & system). What all are you choosing to backup when you make a backup?

I forgot my startup is encrypted. I kept on hitting cancel before I mounted the partition found on the s-off youtube tutorial. Thanks for letting me know.
The Data only part is 25gb?
My Backups are normaly 8gb, in TWRP 3.0.2-5
3.7gb System Image
around 4.5gb User Data
64mb Boot and 64mb Recovery
Did you activate compression in the TWRP settings?

You are using a really old version of twrp. Please use the latest, which is 3.0.2-6.

What are you suppose to chose in your back-up? I back-up system, system image, data, and boot. Is that a correct back-up?
Sorry for the noob question as I am new to HTC.

Yes because that was on my HTC One m8. I'm on the latest version on the HTC 10. I already figured it out that the backups were copying the full encrypted data partition if I didn't enter the password.

That makes sense. Starting with 3.0.2-4 TWRP has been able to decrypt data partition. I missed the part where you said you were hitting cancel on the pin prompt.
Is there an option in twrp that allows me to switch between encrypted and decrypted data partitions?

That's controlled by your rom. Natively, Android M requires encrypted data partition, but some custom ROMs allow you to use un-encrypted data. I believe that there is also a script that you can flash in TWRP to allow stock rom to be un-encrypted, but you'll have to fish around in the ROM/Development section for that.
To decrypt your data partition, you have to flash a rom that supports un-encrypted data (or the zip file I mentioned above) and then format (NOT WIPE) data partition in TWRP.

System and System Image are the same.
For Custom ROM's System is fine, if you want to take OTAs on Stock ROM you need a System Image.
I almost never backup Data as every app should have a Cloud Save feature and i prefer to wipe my phone every few months to get rid of stuff i never use.
Mainly before flashing a Custom ROM or playing around i backup UserData aswell.
And yeah, always backup Boot when you backup System, only takes 64MB so doesn't really matter.

So this started happening last night, after i wanted to make a backup of a rom it said it failed and couldnt mount the /data and then it asked me to type a passwrod to decrypt storage data....i have never had a password enabled for that and nothing i do can get past that unless i format my data completely.... i did that last night, lost all my data but it worked so whatever! however, today i try to do the same thing, make a backup to flash a new rom and backup failed and here we are again!

More info required. What are you flashing? (ROM)
This sounds similar to the RUU Google Play Edition which changes the partition sizes. When you try to flash a sense rom it sees the partition sizes have changed an assumes it is unauthorised so brings up the password to decrypt message. - this is a security measure. It doesn't matter that you haven't set a password up.
This method works to avoid the decrypt storage message.

so for more details, last night i was on Philz recovery, i was on ARHD 5.0 and i simply wanted to go from that to Liquid Smooth, an aosp rom, and bam, thats when it started happening and so i thought it was the recovery img, so i am using TWRP now.....but today, i tried going from Liquid to Slim rom, but before i could make a backup it said it couldnt mount the data which is weird because i had literally just backed up my apps with Titanium backup onto my internal storage....
will your method work permanently? Even going from a aosp to aosp?

i formatted the internal storage via TWRP, it seems to work but could it be an app doing it, do you think? im just baffled as to why it happened twice in the past 12 hours
I'm having this problem too.
I was using Philz touch recovery to restore my stock nandroid to see if the location issues I was having was device or CM11 specific. I got the /data message the OP posted, but did not think anything of it as I did not really care about any data as the device was virtually untouched from purchase.
I am not able to boot into fastboot or recovery. Adb does not see the device. When I boot it connected to my PC via usb I can see this for a short period before the window closes on it's own.
View attachment 2917354
Device is Verizon branded
[UPDATE]A friend pointed out that if you use the stock "Close apps and reboot" option it is a slower boot. Once you select that hold power and volume down and you can get into fastboot. From there I was able to get into recovery and reflash CM11. Can not get my stock nandroid to work though.
I also have a problem
impossible:
1 - unlock bootloader
2 - enter to stock recovery
3 - install ruu
what to do ?? how to revive the phone ??
After upgrading to Lollipop FOB6 firmware using full odin and then rooting and installing TWRP, I have never been able to successfully restore a backup, ever!
From reading the dev forums it seems no one else has been able to do so either. Does anyone know what the heck is going on? Is there any toggle (like compression?) that we cant use?
This is a bit of a pain but not the end of the world. Certainly makes me hesitate to mess around with new roms though if I cant go back to my solid daily without having to start from scratch.

I think what is going on is that the directory structure in Lollipop is a little different from the one in Kitkat. To give you an example, the user installed applications in Kitkat are placed under /data/app like this:
/data/app/com.my.application.apk
But in lollipop the same app is installed as:
/dats/app/com.my.application.apk/base.apk
So a backup taken from your data partition in Kitkat cannot be readily restored in Lollipop. The directory structure is just wrong and nothing works. The solution is for someone to ether write a conversion script or for the TWRP people to incorporate such a script in their future releases.

Thats true - I did read about that. And that would definitely explain being unable to restore a kitkat rom.
However, I cant even restore a lollipop backup after flashing a different lollipop rom! Even if they are both derived from the same FOB6 base! That is what is even more confusing. Try it - backup, wipe all the partitions except int and ext sd of course and then try to restore... it just doesnt work!
Way I dit it just use factory reset only don't wipe anything specialy internal storage and don't use format. While restoring TWRP formats partition that been restored. I'm using TWRP 2.7.2.0
I've had no problem restoring from a TWRP Backup on Lollipop numerous times.

One of the devs, who runs the Lollipop ROM I've been using, warned against restoring data. He suggested backing up apps + data through Titanium Backup instead. Maybe it depends on the ROM?

Hi
I have a rooted S4 running Carbon. Im using TWRP 2.8.5.0 and can backup and restore any
KK rom with no issues. I can flash Lollipop and backup but it will not restore this backup.
Its says restore successful but then just boots back into recovery. If someone could resolve
this it would be great
Hello all,
TB doesn't seem to pick up the apk file when backing up which is quite frustrating. Does anyone have a solution?
i had backup using TWRP 2.8.7.0 my stock TW lollipop rom...Now i had flashed Dirty Unicorns v9.5...If i wanted to goto stock rom that nandroid backup wont work??? thats what people are complaining over here??
I'm not able to create backup of Stock ROM through TWRP. The error says "Failed to mount /system". While in the Mount menu, the "system" is unmounted by default. When I select "Mount system partition read only" option, I'm able to mount it. And the size of the system is shown abnormally large(check SS).
Any solution for this? And can anyone explain what that "Mount system partition read only" option meant for? Will there be any risk if I create backup keeping mount system partition read only?

Removing passwords doesnt encrypt the device. That happens on the very first boot. unecrypting the device wipes it.
To be honest I wouldnt worry about it too much. Even when backed up stock roms dont like to be restored and people that do normally just end up flashing the stock os due to the issues that popup.

Yes that is exactly what I mean. That just means That the system is read only. It cant be modified. Too be honest I gave up on backing up my device years ago due to restores never going well and having to reflash full stock anyway
So now you've to flash stock ROM and start as a fresh device everytime when you want to revert back?
Actually this issue wasn't there before zlendel. I've created a backup 1½ month ago. Then I've flashed a custom ROM, didn't liked it so I restored the backup. Since then, I haven't did any modifications to the device.

At this point I am not sure. I dont use either and never have. If I recall right You will have to change the file system to ext4 for PA which will wipe your device. I could be wrong.

It's not mandatory to change the file system to ext4 for AOSPA, but it works better rather than on f2fs and they aren't supporting possible problems on f2fs.
Also, If you're going to flash AOSPA, I suggest a clean flash to avoid possible problems with battery drain or other bugs that have been reported in that thread.
Cheers!

Yeah, I did a clean flash. IDK which file system it is. Battery life has improved a bit and no heating issues. Gaming performance have improved a lot.
what version of TWRP are u using? having complete Stock OS should not cause issues, i have never decrypted my device and no issues backing up, also u may not want to back up every single thing, try doing it without the System Image, i would just back up System, Data, and Boot, maybe EFS too but i don't
Suggests that there is an error in the /system partition. Have you modified the system partition? If not, you don't really need a back up of it.
Currently I'm using a OnePlus 3 on 6.0.1 (OOS 3.1.1) but I would like to update to Oreo (OOS 5.0). How do I do this when my device is rooted?
I've downloaded the latest OS off the oneplus website. Is it as simple as uninstalling SuperSU and then flashing the latest OS through recovery?
I also have TWRP recovery and Xposed installed.
Would appreciate any help.
Just flash the new OS in recovery, no need to unroot as it will get overwritten anyways. You'll need to root again after updating, of course.

It's as easy as that? It's not a problem that I have xposed installed or anything?
What should I wipe before I install the new OS?
Sorry for all the questions, newbie here.
@Edo 91
I'm not sure about overwriting recovery, it's been a long time since I've used OOS (currently on PA, before than on LOS). If I remember correctly the recovery should stay if you DON'T boot into system right after flashing. So, flash the ROM, reboot into recovery first, then boot into system. Can't say if anything changed with Oreo, but that's how I remember it from Nougat and Marshmallow. You can however flash recovery again right after ROM, just to be sure.
You can root later down the road, no need to do everything at once.
@scalliant
Generally yes, it as easy as that. Xposed and root methods modify system partition - and that gets overwritten when you flash new ROM. That's why those modifications have to be flashed again after every update (some custom ROMs are exception, but rest assured the stock one will nuke all mods).
Anyways, we're talking about Android version upgrade here and not just a minor system update, so I'd recommend a clean installation (but you can try dirty first and then do a clean one in case you experience issues).
First of all, make a full nandroid backup (check everything except "system image" in TWRP). Copy all of your media content (pictures, videos, music ... whatever you don't wanna lose) to another device - better safe than sorry. Optionally, backup apps with Titanium or something similar.
To do it clean: wipe /system, /data and /cache. That means losing all apps and settings, but you'll keep stuff that was stored on the phone. After successfully booting into system you can restore app backups or install them and set up everything again.
To do it dirty: wipe just /system and /cache. You'll lose just system settings, but will keep apps and everything else. Less hassle, but higher chance of something going south.

I thought you loose everything when you do a clean install. So photos and files are preserved using this method? I assume text messages will be lost?

Media is on a (virtually) separate partition and is preserved unless while internal storage is formated. Still, it's never a bad idea to have a backup.
Yes, text messages are lost if not backed up. There are many apps that do that (and can be set to upload to cloud regularly).

Yes, but use unofficial TWRP from ROM section not the official one.
Backup boot, system image, vendor image and data.
Works for custom ROMs, not sure about stock ROM.
Also backup EFS and persist once in case you lost IMEI or sensors.

I'm surprised that unlocking didn't delete your data, for me it did and it usually does.
For TWRP use fastboot boot <filename>.img to boot it and then flash the zip.
Normally that doesn't delete data, but always backup important data first.
I'm not sure how good TWRP handles encrypted data...I'm always unencrypted.
Before TWRP backup people say to remove pins and maybe fingerprints first (there are zip files for that) because then restoring will work better.
Good luck, happy flashing and first search and read if you are unsure.
