It'd be much better if you did this here, that way the solution is available for others to find, that's pretty much the entire point of the Q&A section. I'm confident it's just a case of selecting the wrong partitions to backup anyway.

The solution i used when i incorrectly updated vendor image and then tried to restore old system image and vendor image was to use Nexus Tool kit by wugs fresh to flash back to stock while keeping internal card intact. Then flash the rom you were on with correct vendor image in TWRP 3.0.0.0 and then restore your twrp backup without the vendor image etc and boom should be back to normal. At least that is what worked for me. What should you backup and restore? I back up everything and restore everything but vendor stuff. any suggestions?

That seems over-complicated. You only need to backup/restore system, data, and boot. Vendor is optional if you have Layers that you want to keep. Don't backup/restore system image or vendor image. That's the reason he got into this mess, be backed up and restored system image. I posted the solution a couple of posts back.
okay so i tried to recover Data System Boot, still didn't work. so i remove everything including twrp and installed stock rom. and then i installed twrp 3.0 and somehow it worked and my device is back on

No problem man glad it worked!!
I had the same problem.
I tried to restore a backup (MMB29Q - system+data+boot, done after installing the last factory image without root) and I got blocked on the Google logo. I tried twice without managing.
In the end I solved the problem installing supersu v2.68 zip before restarting.
It's as though the restore needs the root to work properly.
What do you think?
Thanks.
Hello everyone! I bring news from the TWRP developers from the #TWRP IRC channel! TWRP 3.0.2-1 has a fatal bug! If you backup and restore EFS it will brick you! Do not backup and restore EFS on 3.0.2-1! Use 3.0.2-0 instead! This has already been fixed in the newer builds!
If you have been bricked you NEED to Erase the EFS partitions and that will fix it immediately.
For the Nexus 6P go to TWRP. Then on PC Open Command Prompt with access to ADB ( Android Debug Bridge) and execute the following commands:
ADB shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst1 bs=16384
and
ADB Shell dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/soc.0/f9824900.sdhci/by-name/modemst2 bs=16384
This should fix it for ANY Nexus 6P users. Users on other phones with the same problem await instructions!
Hello,
i need help. I messed up my phone while trying to repair my only read mode system partition after boot.
Current state:
Phone CAN-L11 with EU Firmeware and working TWRP Recovery.
I did a full wipe, but have no data partition to restore, because this couldn´t be saved with twrp while i made my first nand backups during no read access to data partition.
My phone always shows 2 times the huawei logo and then boot in erecovery from huawei where i tried to restore, but it shows always "fail to get data" (wifi works).
When i restore all partitions backups that i own via twrp i miss the data partition (is the cause why it wont boot - isn´t it?)
Now i searched for any img that i can use to get my phone working again - anyone has a tip what img i could use (i have a huawei update extractor) - through twrp or fastboot.
Could anyone help me with a twrp backup or a img file of data partition - or has another tip how to get my phone working again?
Thanks for tips!

I think that you need a system.img, so you can flash. This system imagem would write everything you need, so you can boot normally.
Have you tried to dowload @bluesmoothie backup from dropbox from the Root and Recovery post?

Here the full Backup for the CAN-L11:

Format /data, reboot recovery and than restore from backup. After the restore is complete make a wipe.
I restored my system from twrp (original first save). But that did not help.
After that i loaded the can-L11c432 update.zip from huawei and extracted with others the system.img - that also did not help to boot.
Tomorrow i flashed the orignal recovery.img from c432 but i did not find an update.zip wich works to manually flash in stock recovery.
@Vinnom the link you shared leads to twrp.img (no system.img).

@merlin21 yes it sounds like my problem after I tried to flash the emui5 beta.
My phone is fully working again with the backup I posted.
This is not the Chinese version, if nothing works, you can try the caz ROM. But there are massive problems with the gapps, they are not included in the rom.

IT WORKS! Thanks @murph... I had to use the cust from my backup, but with your data partition it successfully booted again. Locking forward if i now have still the problem with read only system partition. I am away setting up phone again (and of course rooting, modifying etc.. but FIRST do a full backup after basic setup and safe in PC !!!)
Thanks!
P.S. how did you manage to back up data partition in recovery? I thought this wouldn't be possible?! What is the cost for having this full working twrp?
PPS. Somehow knock on screen for screenshot does not work - could be, that i have to log in with huawei id... does it work for you morp?

I copied the backup, which is linked somewhere in this thread, to my sdcard and restored it on my Nova using twrp. The extractfork issue showed up while restoring '/cust' so i disselected cust in the restoring menu. After that the restoring worked and my nova was able to boot.
Hope this is any help to you.

That didn't do the trick for a while, or I might have forgotten a step, but deselecting CUST did the trick.
Thanks for the tip!
Although, maybe flashing the Cust partition I found in one of the two upgrade zips via fastboot might have helped? I dunno...
But in short, for those who haven't followed through, here's what I did, but I'm not sure this is why it worked:
1. Bricked my device : be sad;
2. DLed all the posted Nandroid backup on this thread and others;
3. With fastboot, reflashed TWRP from Xelfmade using "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img";
4. Flashed the CUST.img I found in the UPDATE.APP of the update_data_full_CAN-L11_hw_eu.zip; or maybe the other, only one of the two seem to have it; I extracted it using Huawei Firmware Extractor; using "fastboot flash cust cust.img";
5. Created a "fake" backup to create the right folder structure on my SD (TWRP Couldn't see the backups) and put the Nandroid Backups I DLed earlier in it;
6. Reboot in TWRP and Restore all partitions except CUST;
7. Reboot, sweat, wait, cry, roll on the floor in fear, heard the huawei startup sound, cried as if it was my first born child;
8. Setup the fone and profit; then enjoy Nova goodness;
92.324. and probably most important, TWRP BAAAACKUUUUP!!!!!
All done!

Frankly, I don't know. I had not modified the partitions prior to bricking my phone, so I think the partitioning was OK. However, I think one of the TWRP availble in this forum can format Data partition properly, which would utlimately allow you to select which File Format you want. I haven't tried it myself, and I haven't been able to do much with TWRP since I flashed Lineage unfortunately. Most of my Mods were just upgrading and I had to ADB Sideload pretty much everything since I flashed Lineage...
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful than that!

First of all, you know that will trigger Knox and you will lose your warranty. There are some other implications of that, are you sure you've read them all? If you have no problems with those things, things are pretty much the same as on every other phone and twrp.
I know it will trigger Knox, and that's ok. This is a temporary device until Galaxy 8.
I put TWRP on the phone, now it won't boot, and got lots of words when trying to backup in TWRP.
That's why I asked.
what does it say when you try to back up.
You may have your phone encrypted that why the back up is not working.
You may need to remove the encryption to get it working properly.
You can also use smart switch to make a back up to be used in case of issues.

So basically I want to install TWRP(and what's needed) and backup ROM with all apps. And then boot the ROM and run device as before.

First no verity and supersu after, according to the article. By formatting data you won't lose your apps, just data on sd card (internal memory). The rest is on system partition
On, last time, did I get this right, from stock rom, do this
Install TWRP, then SU (I don't want SU) backup, should this work? It's says lots of error in data...
So once again from clean, what do I have to do?
Install TWRP, then what? Want to backup all apps I mean a full NANDROID backup.
Still no, after TWRP it won't boot.
Directly after TWRP it's says something bad "/data"
Then tried to run run the decrypt, still no no
Please anyone, help, it won't boot after TWRP...

i can format data partition no problem, even in twrp, but all apps dissapear as i tought. and then i even didnt bother to try and boot as i want to do a full nandroid.

If you thought you could install twrp and do a backup of the stock phone you were wrong, twrp can't read the data partition since its encrypted, you have to format data and then you can do a backup, but since there's nothing there then there's no point.
Get a stock image for your phone from http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=g935f
Thank you, finally an answer

It has been months since op5 come out, and the problem is that when restoring data partition from backups will lead to bootloop on OOS.
Has there been any fix on that?(official or non-official)
p.s. I have searched before, none of the recovery works for stock OOS, due to forced file encryption on OOS.

Not just problems with OOS, custom ROM's give bootloop too
When you do a backup, you have to also backup the system image partition. That will make your backup around 8-10gb in size but then you can restore your data partition and not get a bootloop. I am on TWRP 3.1.1-1 cheeseburger TWRP. Make sure you're at least on that or the k2 version which I'm updating to soon.

I restore data on custom ROMs without issue when using K2 (with or without backing up the system partition). Not sure about OOS since I haven't used it in a very long time. I've been using RR-Official successfully for a few months.

Yes, it's works. But k2 apparently doesn't need the system image for data restore so your backups will be smaller and faster obviously.
Also, I'm on stock oos with stock kernel 4.5.10

So it means k2 can perform restore on stock oos, gonna try again when I get home.
Did you decrypt your device, or remove screen lock on the device before backup? Or anything I should do before backup? Thanks.

I ALWAYS remove screen locks and fingerprints before a backup. I also never decrypt my phone's, not worth it in my opinion.
Im curious if anyone has tried this to flash in TWRP to remove password and pin.

I ALWAYS remove screen locks and fingerprints before a backup. I also never decrypt my phone's, not worth it in my opinion.

Thanks, I'll try later today.
My phone was stuck in a bootloop where it could only get to recovery. Using the recovery I created a nandroid backup to the a USB stick using an OTG cable. I flashed the stock firmware and got things setup but I can't restore individuals apps from the nandroid. I copied the nandroid from the usb to sd card but it still doesn't work. I tried restoring apps using Nandroid Manager but when the app is launched it gives the error "app has stopped, close app". For some reasons sms succesfully restored but no user apps. I tried restoring with AppExtractor but it gives the error "unable to generate apk listing"
I also have titanium backup pro but couldn't get it to find the location of the nandroid to try extracting with it.
Any ideas? I really just want my messages back from Whatsapp.
My phone had stock Nougat with busybox installed and elementalx kernel. It should be the same environment now as when the backups were made.
@twoplustwo can you tell us why your phone went into bootloop ? If you know then you can restore /data from TWRP and revert the cause of bootloop..
Also can you confirm it's in capital letters as you have mentioned in small letters in another thread that twrp/backups rename them to TWRP/BACKUPS or move them to internal storage.. (in stock ROM if i am not wrong, TWRP folder is not accessible, so try to install custom ROM for temporary purpose, then move backup to internal and then try with titanium backup..)

yes it was in capital letters
the problem in the first place that sent the phone into a bootloop was I installed the OTA security update. I'm running stock rom but I guess because it was rooted and had busybox, that made it incompatible with the update?

If you have TWRP and take update, it don't cause bootloop, but it cause your device to boot into recovery when you turn on your device.. can you confirm if it was bootloop or problem of booting to TWRP ?
I am unable to copy the nandroid to internal storage. I tried using usb to computer and it just does nothing. I tried root explorer and it says 'copy failed' and file manager says 'cannot load'. This only happens with the TWRP folder inside the internal memory specifically.

I can confirm it was only booting TWRP. So even when I tried to boot to system it just booted to TWRP again.

You don't need to worry,
Do you have any important data for any app currently ?
Take backup of new important data with titanium.. (and then again take backup from TWRP, for safety )
And then simply restore /data from TWRP backup, it will give you older data back without any bootloop but you will loose new data/messages that you got after flashing/ on current running ROM..

Thank you sir! To confirm, when backing up to USB stick with OTG, does the format of the USB matter? Is fat32 safe?

Not familiar with different formats, it should work.. bu t
You can backup to internal storage too, since you don't have to flash fastboot ROM again..
