Restoring device B from a backup of device A may not be a good idea.

Did you try anything at all yet?
Have backupmenu installed?
What about a fsck of rootfs and opt? Do NOT try to repair!
--edit
@pichlo
what is the latest status of your not-emmc-flashable device right now.
I did not have ANY problems restoring my backup from my no-telephony-suffering baby to my drawer-lying backup device. Both same hardware revision though.

No I havent tried anything yet.
Yes, I have backupmenu already installed.
Right now the device is just going thru a lot of reebot loops when I turn it on, so it only works from time to time since I have to turn it off to charge the battery with an external charger, and half of the times it does boot the whole system is messed up, I am uploading a video right now of it, and will create a new thread of what is happening.

Most probably a FS corruption, I would guess.
If you are able to make a backup without errors, you may be lucky to restore that backup with backupmenu on a new created FS.
Let us see...

but I am now not sure if bm creates new FS by default (I believe) or it just copies files. There was some discussion/change, so hopefully someone more can confirm.

Been there, done that. Had a case of very bad FS corruption, made a backup and restore with BM. The FS corruption was no longer there but, since the backup was done from a corrupted FS, some files were corrupted or missing. Still worth a try though.
Equally worth a try is: attach the phone to a Linux machine in BM's USB mass storage mode (option 'w' IIRC) and try to repair the FS from the desktop. Better still, make a copy with dd and try to repair the copy.
but I am now not sure if bm creates new FS by default (I believe) or it just copies files. There was some discussion/change, so hopefully someone more can confirm.

@rodald
hmm. bad chances. but worth a try. or consider get your usb fixed.
I can not remember but I believe I used the same laptop (maybe it was the other one
). I do not care as the result was after 32768kB and a RAW message that the partitions and FSs were created. And contents of eMMC I didn't care.
But this is OT and we should go back to your original thread for continuation (if you like
).
