I tried to back up to external OTG storage.

I tried to back up to external OTG storage.

I have no experience with OTG backup, sorry. But error 255 means low storage space, so check how much space is left there. If the card is empty and still doesn't have enough space to back everything up, try backing up fewer files, copying them to pc, then erasing the card and backing up other files, until you have backed up everything.

But error 255 means low storage space

Thank you.
If you back up by excluding only data, it will finish without error.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the data?
I formatted the 32gb sd card and tried backing up only the data.
But the result is the same with an error.
When I backed up the data with adb, it was 20.8gb.

postscript
With Havoc-OS 4.6, I was able to back up without any problems.
I think it's probably a problem with LOS 19.1.

in the stock android under the dev. option enabled the usb debug?

 

[dennyxoo]

yes its enabled. And i try reinstall the ADB Drivers, now when i try flashing i get the old error "
Warning: skip copying recovery image avb footer (recovery partition size: 0, recovery image size: 35225600)."

i think somethink its wrong with the fastboot ADB Drivers?! have you a Link to working USb and fastboot drivers?

 

[7alvoo]

USb and fastboot drivers?

Try this, or my stuff + folder contains this unpacked version.

You must flash through fastboot flash boot recovery.img and if you want to boot stock, you must have stock boot .img in storage for flash. Boot straight into recovery doesnt work in stock rom without root from my experience.

 

[asdf2345]

Use the official TWRP, not this one. This one is pretty ****.

He is actually flashing twrp 3.7.0_9-0. Fastboot flash boot twrp.img works everytime.
Booting into recovery partition works in twrp/custom rom.
Or typing in android terminal (needs root):
su
reboot recovery

 

[dennyxoo]

wow.. all these hours.. to simple find out, you have to press POWER AND VOLUME DOWN to enter TWRP. All this crap guidlines Say "Press Volume UP/Down". No word about pressing the power button. Thanks for wasting me days of my life with this ****

Why is it wasted? It's not like it's bricked or broken, you just can't get into the recovery yet.
Also if you're trying to flash an XZ1c recovery to an Xperia S, that might be the problem.

You also keep bringing up about the "skip copying" output, but that was only in a single log, and it still seemed to write a similar amount of data successfully. I'm not convinced it didn't work.

If you want to flash Stock, you can usually do it from fastboot. There are also some ROMs that will give you .img files you can flash from there (often AOSP) but many prefer installing a zip from recovery.
