How to Create and Restore it Via TWRP"},"content":{"rendered":"

In this guide, we will show you the steps to create and restore a Nandroid Backup via TWRP. Stepping into the custom development opens the floodgates to a plethora of tweaks and customizations. However, this is just one ide of the coin. Carrying out these tweaks could result in some unforeseen circumstances and there’s every chance of things going south.<\/p>\n

In most cases, your device might end up in a softbrick or bootloop state, whereas in rare cases, it might even go into a bricked state. But you could rectify most of these issues simply by flashing the stock firmware via Fastboot [and fixing unbrick via the OEM dedicated tool such as the MSM Download Tool for OnePlus<\/a>]. However, if the data on a particular partition gets corrupted, then things might get a little worrisome.<\/p>\n

And if those partitions are EFS or Persist, then you are in for trouble. This is because the former holds details with regards to IMEI whereas the latter holds the fingerprint sensor data. If the former is corrupted, you might have to say goodbye to the IMEI number on your device and if there’s an issue with the latter, then the fingerprint will no longer work on your device and you might even have to go to the extent of changing the sensor hardware.<\/p>\n

So to avoid all these from happening, your best bet is to take a Nandroid Backup via TWRP Recovery and keep it at a safer place [such as PC or cloud] and obviously not on your device. With that in mind, let’s make you aware of the steps to get this job done right away. Moreover, at the end of this guide, we will also be sharing various emthdos to fix the issue of Nandroid Backup not working, so do check it out as well if you’re facing any issues in using this feature.<\/p>\n
