Great Rom for my Vontar x3
TWRP Issue
Is this normal for this rom?
Backed up the rom in TWRP ...
When doing a restore , TWRP error .. "failed to mount ODM .. not a data message"
Cleared data and formatted data, uninstalled and reinstalled Magisk but it always ends up in a boot loop.
Workaround for me was to flash the original HK1 rom and then restored only the data from TWRP.
What was I doing incorrectly or missed doing in restoring the whole rom to cause the bootloop?
Thank you.
I am not quite sure what you are trying to do but let me guess and say some general things.
1. You backup your original/stock rom by probably a not-permanent TWRP, just to be able to go back to it in a few minutes and in the state you were then. The proper way is to do a "clean" install (using either UBT or sd card) and then restore only the partitions you want (sometimes even only Data partition will be enough- if you have made no changes to System or Vendor partitions).
2. In my custom rom you can use the preinstalled and permanent TWRP to do a backup (usually only Boot, System, Vendor and Data partitions). If you try other roms and want to go back to my custom rom, again you better first do a clean install and then just Restore the partitions you need.
3. You may restore Vendor or Data partitions from one firmware to another, but there is no guarantee that this will be always successfull. Better do not try to restore other partitions (i.e. Boot, Bootloader etc) from one rom to another, unless you know what you are doing.
4. In my custom rom the Magisk is preinstalled in a certain way (as a system apk) and you can not just uninstall it. There is a way though, which you can do it (I have given a PDF file with instructions of how to do it).
If this is not what you want, please let me understand what you are trying to do.
