(Guide) System Restore Using TWRP

[Xshooter726]

Update 1/2/18 : Removed link until we get a Restore that works across all device's.

This will will help you restore back to a clean OS install using Twrp.

1.Download Files to your computer Unzip and place "Stock Restore 123017" Folder in a folder Named "TWRP".


2.Move TWRP folder you created and place them on your Phone's SD Card or Push them using adb command

adb push TWRP /TWRP

3. While in Twrp recovery click Restore and navigate to the back up folder.

4. Restore all and reboot. First boot will take a couple of mins so give it time.

This should bring you back up from the dead.

Edit:
If you accidentally flashed Twrp in the wrong slot then only restore boot using this back up.
This should Fix any wifi issues you may be having.

Can this be used to rebrand the carrier version? Three are still slacking with the second update which I feel is affecting the camera and want to resolve it myself now dees has blessed us with recovery

I restored using your back up but the phone just stays booting for 10 mins plus and I have a warning with "Your device is corrupt"

What slot did you restore to? and is the message of corruption in TWRP?

Getting the same thing unfortunately. Might have to wait for the factory images.

Not sure. I don't have a carrier version to test it with.

Can you run Md5 check sum? I think my upload may have been interrupted.
MD5 Should match this

Ran a check and the upload was correct. I've tried restoring the backup to both A & B but neither would work. I'm using a Three branded Razer Phone so it might just be something to do with that?

Hmmm that maybe why. I was running the latest update when I did the back up and Three branded phones haven't received the latest update yet. Looks like Three branded phones will have to wait for Official Images. Sorry guys

..Well Unless someone with a clean os installed on a three branded phone does a back up similar to mine then that should work.

I don't have a branded carrier version. Going to try a couple more things and if that don't work we'll have to wait for factory images or a custom rom.

When restoring using TWRP, we're supposed to include the 'Vendor' options as well as part of the restoring process? I also restored in both slots.
I have a feeling I just made a very expensive mistake when I tried restoring - left out the 'Vendor' (bottom two) and now it's been on the booting animation for a good 30mins. Can't force shut off by holding the power button or using the vol dwn + pwr to get into download mode. Holding vol up+pwr will get me the 'Razer powered by Android' splash screen and then it just goes back into the animation.

Hey man, I ran into the same issue as you, so what I did was leave the usb plugged in and held down vol up+power till the phone's screen went black, then immediately held down the vol down button, this brought me into download mode, then I entered:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2.1-0-cheryl.img && fastboot reboot
into adb and my phone went back into twrp.
Can't help with the getting back into the system, I'm still waiting on that too, but hope this helps

Same for me. device corrupted after the restock restore on a US imported Razer Phone. Cant use it now. Have to get a replacement cheap phone since it is my daily phone lmfao.

 

[Xshooter726]

My upload is for a full restore but if you have only messed up when flashing boot IMG and it's keeps going straight to Twrp then only restore boot from my back up. Your system should still be intact. I will upload just the boot.img alone.

 

[Xshooter726]

If you accidentally flashed Twrp in the wrong slot then only restore boot using twrp.

If you accidentally flashed Twrp in the wrong slot then only flash this boot.img using fastboot to get you back to normal.

Maybe i am wrong but in this zip file is a twrp boot image not a boot.img file ?

Hey, thanks for that suggestion! I was able to get into download mode and I flashed my phones own recovery and I got it to work. Wiped both a & b slot and restored both of them with my recovery.

The only problem (not so sure if it is an issue) is the backup I made is only of the Boot and System Image as per the TWRP instructions. So when I boot into slot a_ I get an error when I boot up 'There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details.' Switching into slot b, I don't get that error. However, here's the weird thing (I think at least), when I go back into TWRP and switch to slot a, I get a bootloop into TWRP.: So, if I decide to continue on, and flash the TWRP zip file and then subsequently Magisk - I'll lose wifi and etc.

If I end up using Xshooter's full restore img - I'll do the same thing - wipe both slot a&b and restore both slots after. However, I'll get a message after the Razer splash screen say my phone is 'Corrupt' - and this is if I restore with the Vendor options. If I exclude the Vendor options, I'll be stuck in the animation. I lied - I'm stuck on the Corrupt screen now. I can get into TWRP at least...

So, in a bit of a bind here now.

No problem, I was just about to give up and settle with a pretty cool paper weight till i tried that out, now i'm gonna try and restore the backup to both slots and try Xshooters method...
Fingers crossed

@BakaSenpai and @Quashhh if you both are able to put your backup on google drive to share it with me so that i can try some options? i have the same issue now. I hope you both get it sorted.
