HELP PLZ...Orangefox/twrp backups

[Pbsipher1]

I keep trying to do backups but it gets about half way through and the error 255. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Is it not possible to backup through twrp on xt1955-5. If not any suggestions on other means. Something that would include my accounts as well would be great. I have an google acct that google refuses to give back. Be cause they say can't verify. I know password but 2sv got messed up. Which is a bunch of bs. They track everything. I would prefer to never have to go through this again. Any help would be great.

First question. What all are you trying to backup? Second, to where? Third, do you have adequate space for said backup?

Also, if you have a pin or code enabled for access to the device I would disable it for the backup process.

I'm trying to back up system and data only to my ext sd with 50g avail but only needing 12g

I was able to use TWRP to create a backup on an SD card. I'm running Android 10 and rom RR.

You might try other avenues like titanium or migrate. A quick internet search might lead you to a better procedure and app.

I've been having the same trouble. I just restored my XT1955-5 to stock RETAIL. Then installed TWRP and Magisk. I set my phone up as I like it, and want to back it up - everything I can possibly backup - boot, data, system, system image, efs, persist1, persist2, fsg, vendor, vendor image, dsp, and boot logo.

Before I tried to backup anything, I made sure that I mounted all of the partitions in TWRP.

The first few times I tried to back them all up at once, I got the error 255. So I started backing up the partitions one by one. The only partition that would NOT backup was the data partition. I still get the error 255 on the data partition backup. But all the others worked fine. I even went back and selected all the partitions except the data partition, and it backed up in one large backup just fine. So I don't know what the deal is with the data partition, but I can grab it with adb pull, so I guess I'm good to go.

I even booted back into the system and turned off the screen lock PIN - changed it to none. But I still couldn't backup the data partition via TWRP.

This should work for you from adb to backup your data partition:

adb push mmcblk0p64-data.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p64

Thanks tom2112 I'll give it a try what can it hurt. I also heard u have to be decrypted in order to backup data but can't seem to get decryption to stick

adb: error: stat failed when trying to push to /dev/block/mmcblk0p64: permission deni

Hmm... if it is "permission denied" that sounds like you need root permissions to back it up. I'm sorry, but I'm not good enough with ADB to tell you how to get higher privs. Maybe ADB SHELL then SU, but I don't honestly know.
