TWRP restore still not working?

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.

So you can confirm it works?
Does this apply to OxygenOS too or just custom ROMs?

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.

I've personally try to backup and restore stock oos with the k3 version, ended up with a boot loop. Never tried k2 though, to scared to try again.

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

I can't seem to find the k2 file anywhere. Do you mind posting a kind to it so I can download?

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.

can't wipe data partition

So, I tried installing the Note 8 port and now I can't seem to wipe the data partition. I have used every available version of TWRP with the same results. it won't mount the data partition.
from inside android doing a factory reset just restarts and nothing has been wiped.
I also lost root during this process and cant seem to get it back. I have a 935F/DS but the build number says N950F

You need to go through the process of fixing the encrypted data partition.

I have done all of that already to no avail. I have also tried flashing stock oreo firmware in Odin but after about 3 seconds it says it is done and nothing has changed. I am starting to think I must have done some irreversible damage to my Data partition. is that possible?

In TWRP, have you tried Wipe | Format Data?
This option is a button to the right of Advanced.

I am so sorry. I am a moron. I thought I tried that but I didnt. it worked..... TY SO MUCH!

You will have to reroot after. I was Magisk 16.3 and 5.8.3 apk. Then the data fix. I also never update Magisk after its installed.

does Air Command work with Magisk?

[Twrp] is twrp backup/restore broken atm?

So I've done some testing and after a couple msmdownloadtool sessions I've come to the conclusion that the backup/restore feature in the official and unofficial TWRP for Oneplus 6t (I tested twrp-installer-fajita-3.2.3-1 and TWRP 3.2.3-28 Unofficial by mauronofrio) is borked. If you create a backup of boot,sys,vend,data and then restore it you end up only being able to boot to twrp and encrypted data? Is there currently any way to backup partitions without twrp? I tried flashfire which doesn't work on the 6t. can you backup in fastboot? Is this issue known? I can't seem to find much info on this.
Edit: Is there any alternitives to twrp atm for full backups?

Just tried restoring a backup excluding vendor and same issue happens. Boots to twrp and only twrp plus encrypted data

I have tried so many different ways to back up and restore all with problems I have given up. I just use TWRP to flash zips until a Dev or someone with direct knowledge chimes and in responds to a simple question with regard to a proper back up and restore thats all I will use it for.

Yes, after about 3-4 times having to resort to using msmdownloadtool after trying to find out what I was doing wrong. I'm going to do the same. Really wish that would have been listed as an issue on there site. I would have thought something like this would have been noticed by the twrp devs but intill it's fixed or adressed guess that's all we can use it for atm.
Thanks for the reply. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one having issues.

I don't know if it's related or not, but I've read somewhere that while backing up the boot partition it's adviced to remove the screen lock/fingerprint beforehand to avoid some issues during the restore.

Twrp restore is broken.
I don't use it anymore too

How to clean flash to fix errors?

I want to reinstall 9.0.13 completely because I'm having some errors like volume panel not going away automatically.
I went from t mobile 9.0.11 to international masik and TWRP. Flashed 9.0.12 and then Ota to 9.0.13.
Been out of the game for a while and don't know what's up with this a and b slots and what not. What exactly do I need to uninstall and wipe in twpr before I install 9.0.13 OOS? Thank you
Sent from my OnePlus 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app

I would...
Flash the 9.0.11 MSM that allows T-Mo unlock.
Unlock
Do a local upgrade to 9.0.13
Flash TWRP then Magisk as always.
Basically you are just starting over.

Thanks do you suggest wiping anything in twrp before hand or it doesn't matter since I'm using msm?
Sent from my OnePlus 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app

First save pictures, music, video, doc's in Pc or usb drive.
Msm erase ALL in youre phone. It lock youre bootloader too. MSM makes youre phone like it was when it came out of the factory.
Or you can Format data in twrp, or in Fastboot. This also erase ALL in youre phone.

So I can wipe Delvik, cache, system, data. Then flash 9.0.11?
Sent from my OnePlus 6T using XDA-Developers Legacy app

No. Format data does not mean to wipe Dalvik/data/system, etc. It's much more.
MSM does that too and returns youre phone to real factory setting.
