Backing up/ restoring /Data partition manually

Hello everyone!
I would like to know if it was possible to backup and restore /data without a custom recovery, like, manually
1-Copy pasting /data to an SD card or PC
2-Reset my phone
3-Copy pasting /data
I know these three steps only didn't work for a friend of mine who tried it, so.. could these help?
4-Using terminal emulator to mount data?
4-Giving higher permission to the folder with root browser?
I'm just wondering, as I personnally would use TWRP for it but the friend that tried was rooted but did not have custom recovery at that time.
I would have done it with Titanium backup but well... he tried another method :D
This is all just out of curiosity, as this friend is now back running with his phone normally, as this happened a few months ago, but this question never got out of my brain so I decided to ask here.
Sorry for the long life story, It was just to set up why I got to this question :D
Have a good day.

Restoring back to pure stock for warranty replacement

My phone is screwing the pooch, and I opened a warranty claim. I reflashed back to stock from the U firmware following the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...-edge-t3344092 but that custom lock is still on the boot screen. Is there a way to remove it? I googled around and found Triangle Away, but I am not sure. Any ideas?

Restoring with TWRP help

How would you restore the internal storage from a twrp backup? Basically, I was on teamspr and was going to try out Renegade and read to be on PB6 firmware. Before flashing pb6 I made a twrp backup so i could restore personal data/app data. I restored the data partition but couldnt find my old files in my download folder so restored system partition and then it was back to teamspr but still no download files so before i create more work for myself which partition is it.

LG D850 not restoring to stock rom

Trying to flash back stock rom but near the end of the flash process(around 90% or 94%) the phone gets stuck boot looping at the LG screen. This happens for both the Upgrade mode and the Board DL mode. When I try to power the phone on by itself it either gets stuck on the LG screen or vary rarely makes it to the blue factory reset screen with the 2. I can get into the factory reset screen and tell the phone to reset but all it does is pop up the Android with spinning blue thing in its chest for about a second and then starts boot looping again. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Device working problem after restoring default settings

Hello.
gt-9301i, BDITA ROM

I ask you for help, because recently I restored default settings, and now my phone doesn't work properly. I downloaded BDITA ROM 4.4.4 and some kernel from this forum like 1 year ago. I tried it again but installing again ROM makes nothing more than making the same problem which I had after restoring settings that means: when my phone starts it's going good until the "welcome" pops out with different languages to choose and when i want to choose for example english it tells me that setup wizard stopped or "Unfortunately, Pico TTS has stopped." and then black screen comes and the only visible thing is the up menu where I can see the 3g connection and battery status, also I can click on data&time and then I can login to google account and see the calendar, but I cannot do anything more. So I ask for solutions, I have time, but I would like to try install stock kernel and stock ROM, but I cannot find these things.

Samsung Pay still not working after restoring to stock through ODIN

Got my S7 yesterday, played around with root, and decided to go with a stock experience for the time being so I can use Samsung Pay and MST (blasphemous, I know). I used ODIN to restore back to stock, verified KNOX counter wasn't tripped, and went on setting everything up.

I installed Samsung Pay and launched, only to run into the access denied message you would see if you were attempting to open it with a rooted device. Any thoughts as to what could be happening?

HELP - Restoring backups to a new custom rom

I have been scouring the internet for over 2 hours, and I can't seem to find anyone who has done something similar to this, so here goes:
I currently have a Nexus 6P with the Pure Nexus Project Rom installed. I would like to switch to CyanogenMod. Normally, this would be no problem, however I am running into some difficulties with backups. Ideally, I would just do a NANDroid backup from TWRP, but I don't have enough space on my device. Right now I am running a full ADB backup to my computer, but in this instance I don't know if I'll be able to restore that backup to a new CyanogenMod installation.

TL;DR: Will an ADB backup restore to a new custom rom i.e. restore to CM from PureNexus? If not, is there a way to do a NANDroid backup directly to my computer?

Restoring TWRP Backup - Freeze at Boot Screen

TWRP autonomously encrypts phone after restoring from backup!

i did a restore last night so did a format /data /cache /system /dalvik /internal memory and did format data type yes command in TWRP. After doing the restore the phone on first boot said it was encrypting the phone!! i hadnt issued any such command so i dont know why it did that on its own. because of this one other nandroid backup on SD card has become corrupted and giving an error 255 when doing a restore. It is using the 'default' TWRP encryption password, whatever that is. I want to recover the corrupted nandroid backup. How can that be done?

No luck restoring water boarded edge, last rites?

I'd love some advice if there is anything left to try to restore my t-mobile s6 edge (g925t). It was submerged in water for only a few seconds. Took it to the Tekdry machine inside Staples, which dried it out completely. Still not booting up.

I can get into download mode. I've tried reflashing the stock rom (epf1) with both Odin 3.10.6 and 3.10.7, and tried the repartition option with the original pit file. It always hangs at NAND writing. I've tried the smart switch emergency recovery, but it doesn't recognize the phone. I've tried reinstalling Samsung drivers, and rebooting.

I've attached a photo of where the write stops. I've heard of jtag repair. Is that a real option at this point? Thanks.

How to switch to Android N preview, [FLASH GUIDE, RESTORING BACKUPS, & MORE]

Before I get into this guide I am going to start off with a disclaimer. If you break or harm your device. Or make it unbootable. This is not my fault, and you understand that you are doing this at your OWN RISK.
Now let's get into the guide! :D
Tip for Section Number #1: If you are having trouble using the windows file explorer or any other OS, use Sync by BitTorrent and sync files to your computer, I am not promoting the app for any self gain, just a suggestion

NOTICE: ROOTING THE N PREVIEW IS ONLY POSSIBLE USING A DECRYPTED DEVICE FROM MY KNOWLEDGE

This will be separated into sections. As listed below:

Installing Android N with working TWRP
Rooting Android N Preview
Enabling Permissive SELinux without a instant reboot
More may be added in the future!

Installing Android N with a working TWRP
Easier method :
If you have Marshmallow already installed, you can enroll your device for a OTA of Android N Developer Preview. Or you can install Marshmallow and then do the same.
Longer method :
Backup all your userdata files (I MEAN EVERYTHING!) this will erase all of your files if you want a working TWRP.
1. Download the Android N .tgz file for your device from here -=OPTIONAL=-Download the modifed boot image with decryption on boot disabled for your Preview version here
2. Decompress/extract every file. (the main file and the image directory) I would recommend having all of them in the same folder
3. Make sure you have fastboot, then open a terminal/command prompt in that folder - Shift + right click in windows then open command prompt here
4. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR DATA BACKED UP, THIS IS NECESSARY IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR FILES AND HAVING A WORKING TWRP - optional
5. Boot your device into the bootloader, power down your phone (this is for nexus 6p) and hold the power button + volume down until you see a Android figure laying down
6. Do the following commands in a terminal with fastboot installed - this is inferring you have a unlocked bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img - the modified one you downloaded, if you did.
fastboot flash recovery twrp-xxxxx-angler
fastboot format cache
fastboot flash cache cache.img
-=OPTIONAL, FOR DECRYPTION AND WORKING TWRP=-:fastboot format userdata - do not flash the userdata.img unless you have a 32gb Nexus 6P.
fastboot reboot
Now, once the device boots. Set it up and go to Settings>Security and under encryption if you want a working TWRP, it should say Decrypt phone. If not, look back and see if you did a step wrong.

Rooting Android N Preview xx
1. Download the latest BETA of SuperSU or STABLE depending on your preference. STABLE, BETA onto your device's sdcard directory. (otherwise known as /storage/emulated/0/)
2. Reboot your device to TWRP by powering off your device, then holding the power button + volume down. Once in the bootloader, tap the volume down button until you land on Recovery. Then press the power button.
3. Go to the install section, and flash your SuperSU zip.
4. Reboot, it may reboot a few times. Let the device run it's course until it lands at the lockscreen, this is important.

Enabling a permissive SELinux without a instant reboot
Follow the guide here
In other words, download the logd file and copy and paste it to /system/bin/ then replace the other file after backing it up.
Then do
setenforce 0
in a terminal with root access on your device and then do getenforce to check if it's working.
This enables you to restore backups using Titanium backup, as it doesn't work without doing this.

Credit for the modified boot.img goes to @Tigerstown
Credit for getting Permissive SELinux to work on Android N goes to @gubacsek
I do not take credit for any of the downloaded content, all of the downloaded files goes to their original creators.

PM me if anything is wrong, or edit this post!
Mods, if this post is in the wrong place. Move it to the correct place please!

Happy modding of your Nexus 6P on Android N Preview! :D ;)
