Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

I'm using twrp2.3 should I upgrade? what are the benefits? I looked for an option to erase battery stats but couldn't find it in 2.3
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
There's no need to wipe stats. It resets when the battery is full and you unplug. Wiping stats doesn't do anything that charging and unplugging doesn't do anyway.

Check the OP for a changelog if you want to know.

Never sticks for me when flashing through Goomanager any more. Renamed it and flashed it with terminal. Works fine.

Flash it through terminal. It's in the Goomanager folder. Rename it as recovery.img. Open terminal, type:

su, enter,

flash_image recovery /(location of file)/recovery.img, enter.

Should show a list with no errors.

I think the problem is the flash_image binary that ships with goo thats the problem. It makes no sense that itd be recovery related. Oddly enough I never have problems updating recovery on my gnex.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

Did this and it worked. I think the first time, the presence of CWM interferes with the process. CWM was gone the first time I tried installing with goomanager. I did it again and it worked fine.

I seem to get this issue in TWRP 2.4.2.0 recovery:

Is this normal? It seems to work just fine. Just did a backup. I just thought it was odd. I only see that when pressing the middle button at the bottom. I assume it's just the terminal of the recovery.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zachf714:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

I think it has to do with the way HTC manages the partitions in the hboot ....... Goo might have it flash a different way that should work but doesn't

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

Goo just uses a flash_image binary to flash. The one in the ROM could work better on the incredible than goos. The recovery could be flashed a different way in goo using flash_image than how you would do it from terminal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] musical_chairs:
I installed the latest TWRP with goomanager (did it three times for good measure), and before I got around to rebooting I tried this method too. Interestingly, it failed, with a whole string of 'out of memory' errors. Naturally, when I tried to reboot into recovery my recovery was hosed. I booted the system back up, and tried flashing the recovery again through the terminal. It worked on the first try. Weird...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Just a minor issue but the screen timeout doesn't seem to be functioning properly on the Droid Incredible. When it times out it just locks the screen instead of actually turning of the screen like it does on my Galaxy Nexus.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
I got a string of errors too when I tried the terminal, so I just used goomanager twice.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
Probably one of the better Droid Incredible resources that I know of:

http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79

The other pages at the site will also explain some other recovery related items.

My advice is to ensure a decent charge (over 50%) and the phone plugged into a power source before taking the update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] omniatic:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

Put the file on your sdcard. Reboot into the bootloader. It will find the file, ask you if you want to update it: follow the instructions for yes. Let it finish, then reboot.

Fair warning: TWRP 2.5.0.0 broken backup/restore process on Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Kaepernick:
Well, TWRP 2.5 has officially screwed me. I did two backups. One was Neo's Infected CM10.1. The other was Tiny's CM10. Neither restored properly. One was just messed up. The home hardware button didn't work. None of the settings were saved, including the settings of the launcher. It was laggy and just annoying. The other outright failed to restore. When I tried to backup CM10 to emmc, it failed. When I was using 2.4.4.0, the backup and restore worked perfectly. So, I reverted back to 2.4.4.0.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:
You're right. My CM10.1 backup from 2.5 is totally jacked up. I think the backups are screwed up and not the restores as I restored CM7 earlier today to mess with it a bit and didn't notice anything odd.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tiny4579:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] tekweezle:
by the way, with the latest 2.50, the default for the wipe menu has been changed to perform a factory reset. if this is not what you are intending, be sure to check the options before you perform the wipe.

since I have been accustomed to wiping only dalvik and system cache before updating roms, i messed up one of my dincs inadvertently.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cmlusco:
Not a huge deal, but when i do a backup the date is wrong. It always has the right time, but says its the next day. Is it just me or is this a known issue?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BoKnows?:
Check your time zone. Mine was set to one different than Eastern. I do not recall which but I do know that it was set correctly before the update to 2.5.0.0.

---------- Post added at 07:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

I noticed this too as you unfortunately found out. I wish there was a way to configure an alternative to the default. I do like the ability to select which wipes I want just like the zip installation routine.

[Kindle Fire General] Wotta:
I had rooted 6.2, and could use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper to switch between Amazon Video-friendly and rooted.

I installed the (unsecure) 6.2.1 in the Dev section of this forum (which I cannot post in), and now even with OTA Root Keeper cannot watch videos; Amazon Videp Player has "watch now" disabled and states, "Your device is no longer configured correctly to play Amazon videos."

Any idea how to switch between them?

Thanks.
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Works for me.

You need to make sure that OTA Rootkeeper is set so the button says "Restore Root".

Then make sure the Amazon Video in (Settings->Applications) has been stopped.

Then it will work fine.
[Kindle Fire General] Wotta:
No dice here. Do you have 6.2.1 on yours, and is it secure or unsecure? Thanks

... Edit ...

I had to reboot to get video working. Killing it wasn't sufficient. Oh well, at least I have a process. ;)

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
6.2.1 Root Secure Image

o Turned on Protect Root

o Went to applications and selected Amazon Video and did force close

Then ran Amazon Video... works every time for me. No reboot needed.
[Kindle Fire General] Wotta:
Perhaps the difference is that I'm running the insecure, not secure, root. Not sure why it would be, but I did exactly as you drew.

Good post though. If this was a karma board, I'd toss you some for going to that effort with the screen shot. ;)
[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
It is possible. I think the poster of the images tried it out using unsecure as well, but who knows.

:cool:

As the_scotsman said in an earlier post, these valuation sites do a very crude analysis of traffic to the site and calculate a value based on that.

We have very high traffic, but we don't sell a product and forums are notoriously bad at getting members to click on adverts. Sites that sell products get far better advert clicks than forums. Pay per view ads do generate income for the site but there are all those running costs including multiple servers and staff to pay. Most members avoid adverts so in fact much of the activity we have here generates costs not income. Other more overtly commercial sites would indeed be rich if they had 4 million members coming in to buy products.

Want to buy a ROM anyone?... LoL

Most donations now go to individual developers and we don't discourage that, but this does mean we generate less through donations than we did two years ago!

Today I went to a local bestbuy to take a look at the galaxy nexus, the phone I wsa originally going to wait for. I'm glad I got the Amaze...I was not impressed with any aspect of the galaxy nexus...even at 720p the pentile screen on it still manages to mess up the quality of the screen to a certain extent. if I was to pick screens I would def pick my qHD amaze screen over the amoled 720p. The cameras are not even comparable. we have a backside illuminated wide aspect f/2.2 aperture...where as the galaxy nexus uses a 5mp regular old camera the phone seems a bit long too...just as I though the sgs2 was little bulky this one seems a little bulky too. Amazes size is almost perfect. ICS does seem a little weird without the hardware buttons...I actually rather prefer the soft touch bottoms..the phone is long and does not feel as nice as my amaze in the hand...build quality is the crap plastic feeling I got with my sgs2 when I first bought then returned...overal...right now all it has over the amaze is ICS...I don't even see the big deal with ICS... all the features plus more of ICS area already on sense 3.0 and 3.5 minus the multi tasking and...sense does a good job of integrating facebook twitter all that stuff...something ICS is striving to do add widget locket and adw ex and you have a phone much more user friendly than ics imo. I can't wait till the OTA update of ICS for Amaze I hope they don't F it up...I rather like gingerbread at this point and am pretty much happy with my phone minus the stupid bloatware, which thankfully I was able to freeze using titanium backup using temproot before the wifi calling update...
