Hi, I used TWRP to create the following NANDROID Backup:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The backup source phone ( D5803_No1 ) has a touchscreen that does not work anymore.
I have another z3c phone ( lets call it D5803_No2 ) with a partially broken touchscreen and an intact z3c ( D5803_No3 ).
I used the same software stack to install a rootable stock 5.1.1 ROM, root and install TWRP on device D5803_No1, D5803_No2 and D5803_No3 ( the fully intact one )
That means all on all 3 Phones:
I used flashtool-0.9.20.0-windows.exe to flash D5803_23.4.A.1.264_1289-4696_R8C.ftf ( which was a modified 5.1.1 ROM that I could root with giefroot_v3.1 ) and then install XZDualRecovery.
Phone D5803_No1 was the one I used on a daily basis before the touchscreen broke.
Now I tried the following:
Restore a fully NANDROID Backup ( as seen in the screenshot above ) that I created with my broken daily use Phone D5803_No1 to the blank rooted D5803_No2.
I did not wipe anything on D5803_No2 before and I checked to restore all 5 Paritions that I backed up.
To recover a backup from a foreign device I had also to do the following step TWRP recovery doesn't show the backup file. Problem with restoring nandroid.
When it came to the /data partition I got an error in TWRP ( I think something like "cannot wipe /data" but not sure anymore ) and my only option was to reboot the phone.
Now it is bricked, not discovered by flashtool anymore.
I read here that you will hard brick your device if you try to flash the TA from one device to another ( what I tired to do ).
My question is:
1. Has anybody any experience with transferring a NANDROID Backup from one phone to another ( same model of course )
2.
If there is not the answer "it is definitely not possible to transfer a backup to another phone"
Which partitions should I try to recover from D5803_No1 to D5803_No3 ( the fully intact one ) to minimize the chance of a ( soft/hard) brick ? Should I wipe some partitions before recovering ?
Yes, flashing a TA backup from another Z3c will hard-brick the phone.
You could try to restore only the data partition on your 3rd z3c and wipe cache + dalvik. From what I read on the forums it should work and boot, but it is very likely that the camera won't work because of some device-specific DRM settings that are stored on the data partition. So actually this isn't recommendable either.
I would advise you to get a USB OTG cable to connect a PC mouse to your 1st z3c and then take a Titanium Backup of all your apps and settings. After this, restore everything you need on your 3rd Z3c.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:

Hello I found this interesting thread where you can make a nandroid backup without booting into recovery! Credit goes all to the developer..
Here is the link to his thread

Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. For me, this has been a killer as I do regular nandroid backups. Having to reboot in recovery and finding missed calls, sms from my wife and friends is totally not accepatable for me. So, I set to develop an online nandroid backup tool, namely Online Nandroid, which can do nandroid backups without switching off my phone.
Today, I am releasing it to public, as it may serve good for some others too. Originally I developed Online Nandroid specifically for Xperia devices, but now I am releasing it for all android devices.
This tool, eventhough called "Online Nandroid", does not upload/save backups to any online/cloud services. Online here means that it does backup while phone is live or still running Android.
The short name onandroid is meant to be pronouced as o-nandroid or o'nandroid and NOT on-android.

The GUI developed by Thomas Otero makes it much more user friendly (and of course he properly credits Ameer for his work). It even checks for updated versions of the script.

TWRP 2.6.3.3
So heres how i ended up in this situation. I installed a custom kernel the other day and find it not to be useful for me.
Before i flashed the kernel i made a backup on my rom. I used TWRP 2.6.3.3 but if failed in the middle of the backup. So i used online nandroid backup. And backup was successful. When i find the custom kernel not not useful for me, I decided to restore the nandroid backup i made. Did not wipe anything. During the restoration I noticed that TWRP restarted.Then it prompted me to a No OS Installed (something like that). I wipe dalvik and cache i think. ThenI tried to restore it again and completed the restoration. When it booted, looks like i only did a factory reset, which should not be the case. I restored it like twice but same result. Now i ended up installing all the apps again. I was able to install some of the apps from Nandroid Manager. Only the apps and not the data as it took forever to restore one app, i have like 200 apps. I used TB to restore apps and data but it looks like it only detect 7 apps (all were xposed modules). Im almost done now but I have 2 apps that i want to restore but cant. MagicJack as we can only register the app one time. And i used temporary email when i registered which i already forgot. And also i want to restored one of my google account which i used in registering in some sites. Too bad i forgot the password.
So yesterday I decided to install TWRP 2.7.1.1 (with OTG support). i have installed it successfully. because i want to restore the old nandroid backup. I nlow made a titanium backup so i can restore the apps with data.
Now when i go to TWRP i noticed that the file size of the data is toooooo big. (see the pic)
When i hit the refresh it shows the real size but then it goes back to the wrong file size.
As a result i cant backup because the file is too large for my 16Gb USB using OTG.
Now im using the online nandroid backup again, and backup seems to be fine.

It is very important to make backup with Titanium backup or another app and also Nandroid backup before you start
1. Procedure is not complicated at all,..but is too risky.The point is that u mast kill and revive your device to get network unlock
2. U MUST have working SPflash tool and backup made with MTK droid tools. (when I say working it means that u test that backup)
3. U MUST have IMEI backup made with MTKdroid tools (when i unlock my device my IMEI was lost)
So,..
♣ Switch off you phone and remove battery,Sim and SD card
♣ Start SPflash tool and load your sccater file from backup made with MTKdroid tools
♣ Conect your phone with your PC and press Format in SP flash tool,...after formating u have DEAD phone
♣ Do not switch it on !!!
Load again your scatter (SPFlashh tool) file and press Download.
Conect your phone and wait until the download is completed
Reboot in Recovery and do wipe data/cache,...reboot.
U can after that also flash official update.zip form ZTE (not required)
Now u must flash CWM again
If u dont have IMEI restore it with MTKdroid tools
That's it,..u now have network unlocked phone,... enjoy
p.s
Becuse i use memory swap by @Zephyrty i do this unlock procedure like this:
After formating,downloading and all,..i restore my IMEI,flashed CWM,do a memory swap and Restored Nandroid backup.
Thanks for this, I used this on a ZTE Blade Q mini and it works perfectly.
I can also report that this works to unlock a phone that has had the wrong network unlock key entered too many times so that the phone is 'permanently' locked and won't accept any more network unlock codes.
I used the newer version of SP tools that has format on a separate tab, using the defaults, worked great, phone is now unlocked.

Does restoring backup restores apps?

Depending on what you use for backup?
P.S.
I recommend clean install,
with Full Wipe.

Probably it's something with the TWRP and OP6T encryption. I also faced this error not long time ago. Try to do the backup on an external USB through OTG.
As long as it is not possible to decrypt the 6T, you won't be able to do a full backup. Does also not work via OTG as the encrypted data cannot be read from internal memory.

It's because your phone is encrypted, but you can still take a nandroid backup using this thread.
