Unable to restore a backup through TWRP - G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
this afternoon I was trying to install SailfishOS as described here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/sailfish-os-t3204245) but while I was flashing the CM11 base, the recovery rebooted, then I tried to restore my backup and I receive the message "Backup restore failed". I even tried to install a rom from the sd but the recovery gives me errors or reboots. Do you have any idea of how can I solve that? Thanks in advance.

Please moderators, close the thread. The issue has been fixed with flashing a new zip recovery through fastboot.

Htc one m7, error: Cant load recovery

Hello guys, i really need help. i have htc one m7 device and i rooted/ bootloader unlocked and flash a custom recovery CWM 6.0.4.7 and custom ROM android 5.0.2. after a while i experienced a constant reboot so i decided to flash another ROM, this time cyanogenmod 13 official after backing up the initial Rom. i run into an error while flashing the CM13. However, i decided to restore the backup i created initial but i think the error in CM13 flash has corrupted the cwm recovery. i get this error when restoring backup -- E: volume not found.
i have been trying to flash another recovery in fastboot mode but i get this error anytime i try in command prompt. this is the error-- error: cannot load "recovery"
i have tried to rename the downloaded recovery file and flash but with no success. when i check the device manager i see htc andriod interface with a sign on it plus android adb interface.
what really am i not doing right. someone should please help me out of this.

Semi-bricked Nexus 6

My Nexus 6 was running TWRP 2.8.X.X and on CM13. I decided to flash a different ROM but first, I updated TWRP to 3.0.2.0.
When I did the "Wipe" before flashing the new ROM, TWRP apparently wiped my entire system. Now TRWP is telling me that there is no OS installed???.
I'm going to "Sideload" a ROM so that I may re-flash my phone but my question is that TWRP is telling me that my system is "Read Only". Should I first let TWRP change my system to "Read/Write" or will I be able to flash my ROM and restore my phone if I leave it "Read Only"??
I'm a little confused because TWRP never asked me before about modifying my system. It wasnt until I updated that TWRP asked me this?.
It's not bricked. I wipe my os all the time. You will need to use an otg to flash a rom and you'll be fine. Or you need to use add pull/push to get a rom into the internal storage then flash.
Changing your system to read/write should be no problem. I'm no expert but, I would imagine writing to your system partition requires writing permissions to be enabled.
I "adb sideloaded" a ROM and restored my Nexus 6 but everytime I reboot from recovery, TWRP tell me that there is no "OS installed"???. I'm not going to worry about it since everything is working. Must be a bug that happened when I updated TWRP??
you'll find your answers in the TWRP thread...

Stuck in TWRP Recovery after flashing "twrp-3.0.2-0-m7cdwg.img" by flashify.

Stuck in TWRP Recovery after flashing "twrp-3.0.2-0-m7cdwg.img" by flashify.
Dear All,
I was in boot loop due to error of "com.htc.htcdialer" I was helpless to install twrp recovery every time i tried to install mobile gets reboot.
so i decided to keep "twrp-3.0.2-0-m7cdwg.img" in sd-card and flashed this file by flashify tool.
After flashing "twrp-3.0.2-0-m7cdwg.img" i cleared delvik cache(as somebody suggested to do this to get rid from boot loop which came due to "com.htc.htcdialer" ), and made backup of current rom now i am not able to go back to normal system start.
Here are some details of HTC ONE M7 (802d)
Android version= 4.4.2
It is "rooted unlocked" device not "factory unlocked".
Pl help thanks in advance

Meizu M2 in bootloop after attempted xposed flash

Hello everyone,
As the title suggests, i cannot get my Meizu m2 to boot anymore. I tried flashing xposed (without the installer app), it said it needed a reboot so i tried, but it's stuck on the logo. I cannot boot into recovery, as apparently i have none. Safe mode doesn't work, nothing works; it refuses to turn on. I have a NANDroid backup on my SD card if it helps. I don't have a custom recovery, as i've said, so no TWRP or CWM. Any suggestions, ideas, tips? Do i need to flash the stock ROM, and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

Enter in fastboot mode and flash custom recovery for your android and restore it from nandroid backup.
If it not work then flash stock rom.

Bootloop after twrp restore - twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img

Summary:
1. Flash factory image onto phone successfully
2. Install twrp and make a backup
3. Restore backup after reboot and I'm stuck in a bootloop
I have a new fi Moto x4 running Android 8.1 that I'm attempting to set up. I've reset this phone a bunch of times so here is the standards process:
1. Flash factory firmware as shown in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x4/how-to/guide-how-to-flash-official-factory-t3808348
I'm using: PAYTON_FI_OPW28.46-13_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip
2. After flashing, start up the phone and it works fine.
3. Reboot into the bootloader and boot to twrp using: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-1-payton.img
4. Copy in the twrp install file using: adb push twrp-installer-payton-3.2.3-1.zip /sdcard
5. Install the zip via the twrp Install function
6. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recovery
7. Use the twrp Backup function to create a backup of the Boot, Data and System partitions on Internal Storage (plenty of space).
8. Reboot the phone into the bootloader then start recover
9. Use the twrp Restore function to restore the backup. Finishes fine.
10. Reboot phone to system but the load won't finish. Phone just alternates between the Android One and the Motorola splash screens. Left it for an hour at one point just to be sure. No love.
Things I have tried:
1. Using twrp via fastboot boot and a hard install
2. Making backups to the internal and external memory cards
3. Changing the partitions in the backup
4. Wiping everything except the external sim card before performing a restore
If anyone has any thoughts I would love to here them.
Thank you!
I'm having a similar problem and found this old thread. I am on stock pie rooted and made a twrp backup this morning so that I could try flashing some custom ROMs. After successfully installing a custom ROM I attempted to restore the backup and return to stock but just get bootloop. I am able to get back to to twrp and the phone will boot after a factory reset, but even if I just restore data I get bootloop. I'm wondering what I am doing wrong with restoring the backup. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I have the same problem as you are. After I finished install all applications, I made a backup with twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then next day I restore it from the backup, after finished backup, it goes to bootloop forever. My version is OPWS28.46.21.12, I download stock rom OPW28.46-13 but afraid to flash this rom since it is the lower version might be break the phone if not backward compatible. Then I search the web and found your message and follow this side fund a higher version of the stock rom OPWS28.46-21-14. I download it and flash it. After flashing complete and boot up, it saying new OTA update available, I don't want to update the rom since I want my phone rom version is same as the stock rom I have downloaded into my PC just in case in the future I accidentally doing something wrong I can flash back the stock rom without worrying the backward compatibility problem.

I'm a bit slow on the response - but my first thought is manually flash stock rom over your restore without wiping data
I'm able flash the latest stock rom of FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 and reinstall twrp-3.2.3-1-payton. Then I restore data only that backup from previous rom, I get bootloop again after restore the data only from TWRP. The I reflash FI_9.0_PPWS29.69-26-4 again, install twrp and root it with Magisk. Restore data from cloud google drive automatically. And this time is successfully without bootloop.
