Lol its note and day. Has a photon and swore on CWM and that's with clockworkmod never really seen a touch version for the photon. The enter my toroplus(gnex) unlocked and rooted with gnex tool and installed cwm touch. Cool .then shabby Penguin, th3bill, jrummy all kept telling me howTwrp is so much better. so I was just passed noob and took the leap and flashed Twrp. Oh my lord. Waaaaaaaay faster and much more reliable. Bar none.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
I had CWM recovery installed when I ran the last two OTA updates and everything went well. Currently I'm on JB 4.2

But today I uninstalled CWM because a Nandroid backup from recovery wouldn't work anymore on 4.2. While it appeared to work (no errors reported), the file never actually wrote to the sdcard.

So I installed TWRP and the backup was successfully created. Yay! I love this recovery in every possible way.

Which brings me to this question...

Can I use TWRP with the next OTA update, or should I revert back to stock recovery first? If I revert back, is it simply a matter of renaming system/recovery-from-boot.bak to recovery-from-boot.p ?

Please be kind to me. I looked for the answer to this and found nothing definitive.

if you want to apply the ota you will need to be stock.. if you want to flash the ota zip then you can use twrp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CatThief:
Thank you! Can I simply rename recovery-from-boot.bak to recovery-from-boot.p ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyz:
Yes. This is what I do. I rename the file, reboot to get back to a stock recovery and then apply the OTA. You will have to reroot and reflash ur custom recovery but that's simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dehein:
After flashing stock 4.2 with cwm I now have my sdcard in sdcard/0 but the amazon app has a problem with it.

So I thought about flashing pa2.99 with twrp. But first delete everything on that device like the data folder. Can I adb push filename /sdcard my downloaded ROM or does it fail. What else would you recommend to delete the 0 folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:

FYI, Joël of Titanium Backup responded to my e-mail about errors reading TWRP backups. I indicated that I suspect it's because my data partition was large enough that it had to split the archive. He sent me a version of TB to test, and it successfully opens the archive (whereas the last version said there was just no data), but the app list inside the archive is blank. Anyway the devs are now aware so hopefully they'll figure it out :)

Will the latest versions of TWRP avoid multiple 0 folders on 4.2?

I have a quick question regarding the backup feature, I've recently gone from CWM to TWRP - my cwm backups didn't use a lot of space but these use a lot when data is backed up too.

What do I need to backup, if I want the same "type" of backup as cwm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I've installed TWRP. It looks really different compared to CWM due to those huge buttons! :p

Okay, here I have some doubts.

1. To install a zip, I just need to click on install button and then select the zip file from the file manager? (the same procedure as in CWM)

2. Under the 'Wipe' button, there are several options. Which one means what EXACTLY? The options are - Cache, Dalvik cache, Factory Reset, System, External storage, Internal storage and Data. I know what the first two options, but can someone please tell what the rest of the options do?

3. In the main UI, what is the function of the middle button?

4. When I try to take a backup, the EFS option is not ticked and is kept well below the other options? Is it no recommended to back it up?

5. Is it completely secure to compress the backups?

6. The least important doubt. The time in the recovery is incorrect. How do in change the time in it?

I know some questions are really noobish but what else can you expect from. A noob!

Thanks in advance. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
1. Yes

2. See the FAQ link in my signature

3. Displays the log / text output. Press again to hide the text output.

4. EFS is a special partition. You probably should back it up, but make it it's own separate backup and name it appropriately. EFS contains some information that your phone needs to make a data connection, etc.

5. We wouldn't put that option in there if it didn't work.

6. The time zone can be set/changed under settings -> time zone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tFrost:
I've also just changed to twrp, I'll try to answer what i can:

1. Yes :)

2. Think they are pretty self-explanatory, can't give you a deeper description, sorry.

3. It hides the menu and shows the "progress log"

4. I myself have a couple of questions about the backup option (a bit more options than cwm)

5. Yes, I don't think it's more insecure than zipping data on your computer

6. Settings -> Time Zone

Hope it helps

EDIT: you beat me to it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Thanks for replying. Here are some doubts based in your reply. :)

2. I'm on Tapatalk so can't see your signature. Can you please share the link?

3. When I had clicked on it, I saw text like updating *something* partition. The something was either 'system' or 'card' I think. And while it was updating, I pressed the home button and rebooted recovery. Is that fine or did I do something wrong? I had not begun any process so I wonder what it was updating.

4. Do you mean that I shall create a separate EFS backup with only EFS ticked and all others unticked for once?

5. Yeah I know that works. But does it work perfectly and doesn't screw up the backups? I mean that if it works perfectly then why isn't it ticked by default?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
2. http://teamw.in/twrpfaq

3. There's text in the logging output just from booting up TWRP. That text is normal.

4. That's the idea but it's your device to use however you want.

5. Compressed backups take longer but take up less space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
So if I do a factory reset I will lose my SDcard contents too (photos, music, videos, etc.)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Jesco-:
no . the factory reset inside TWRP will not wipe the content of the "SD-card" of our Gnexus

Titanium Backup update: Joël has sent me one more test version, and this one successfully able to restore apps from a split TWRP backup. Yay! This should be fixed in the next Play Store release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
And how do I wipe the sdcard ONLY? I used to do that in CWM by selecting the format sdcard option. Is there any option in TWRP which does the same?

Note that I wanna wipe only the sdcard, nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
As stated in the Trinity thread, the GNex does not have an sdcard, only data/media.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Jesco-:
you can choose internal storage . our "sd card" is our internal storage .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Will internal storage wipe only data/media or the entire data folder?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
just data/media
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kCelsius:
So at the end of the day, for a compressed backup you obviously get a smaller file while the only tradeoff is taking longer to back up? Bc i just recently switched from cwm and just backed up using twrp and it took up like 1.5gb or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Are you completely sure? Because someone just told me that it does not wipe data/media only but everything. :S

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neejay:
Well, between the changelog + testing it, that fixed the issue! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
No issues at the most important thing: flashing. MD5 checks built in if available (can we get sha256 for the sec paranoid, that would be better, can't remember if that's possible though so it's wishful thinking) which is also very good to have. Also touch is pretty responsive, i like it. Floating-like approach to the recovery functions is very intuitive.

on 2.1.2.

Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyea:
Works for me. Thanks. One caveat for users, you can't rename the backup. I renamed my backup and it wasn't found when I selected restore, but once I changed the name back to the original name the file was found in restore.

Sprint GN, Tapatalk2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
I guess that could also be seen the other way in which it's a precautionary feature to prevent it flashing/restoring the wrong thing and it will only restore the previous backup(s) that you've made.

But I guess why you'd want to rename your backups so that option should definitely be a feature the developers should add.

For me the touch isn't very responsive at lists with files e.g. file manager and the 'menu' for choosing which file to flash, though that might be because of the way I'm pressing/touching the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jens13:
I have a Galaxy Nexus GSM(maguro) and TWRP 2.1.2, when connected with usb to my laptop with Windows 7 64-bit it is identified as $ro.product.model.

I updated the driver for the device and manually selected "SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface" device driver; with that ADB worked.

Is this a known bug, have I done something wrong or is there maybe some thing wrong with my computer?

Thanks for a really nice recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilwilwel:
Its a great project. Also the theme looks great.

Would he nice if there came a project for disk/nand chechdisk and defrag recovery tool. Which checks for bad blocks, flag them and relocate them to the end of the file table.

A true Utopia is that this action would be standard included in every ROM and be executed before the install.

After intensive flashing of ROMs the chance of bad memory blocks grows like on a normal computer with ssd drives.

At the moment the installs dont care about bad blocks and install right over it. Causing weird, undifinable problems for end users of the ROMs.

Unfortunally i dont have the knowledge to create such tool that runs on recovery or bootloader level.

In the wipe menu, does wiping system wipe everything on the phone? Like all the media?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
No sir, it's just like in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
Because in the wipe menu, I selected factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache. And after I flashed the ROM and GAPPS all my apps and settings and everything was the exact same way from before, as if I had dirty flashed.

So to do a full wipe I also have to hit system? And it won't wipe my SD Card?:o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kobik77:
I flashed BlackIce+gapps over CM9 using GooManager using wipe data and create backup as the only options and all my data was wiped just like it should have.

You may need to try leaving dalvik cache option un ticked as it is unnecessary and may introduce a bug in combination with data wipe.

No there isn't. There isn't a wipe sd card as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
what is logical for me is:

- wipe system: rom only, not apps and data

- factory reset: apps and its data, not ur sdcard

- wipe external storage: your sdcard only

- format data: apps and data and sdcard

thats what is logical for me..but since im new to this recovery also, someone can confirm? this should be in the first post i think

Hi,

I installed the latest TWRP for the Nexus yesterday and I did three backups with it. Each time I renamed the backupfile but the recovery did not change the name so I had to rename the files every time with the file explorer. I wanted to restore a backup but the recovery finds no backup?! Any help about this problem?

EDIT: If I dont rename the backup he finds it. I used . for the name is that a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] orihuri:
i think that if you change the name if the backup file its change the md5 checksum and the recovery can't match them both (hope i made sense with the broken english:D)

In the CWM thread they managed to create a syslinq so that the backups are always visible in both recovery and TMP

in recovery:

adb shell

mv /data/media/clockworkmod /data/media/0/

cd /data/media

ln -s 0/clockworkmod clockworkmod

Could this be done with TWRP too?

I am still on 4.1.2 due to lack of custom 4.2 roms, so with latest twrp backup it's still in /data/media/twrp ...

/data/media/0 /twrp isn't there yet. That means that going back from 4.2 to 4.1.2 it wont see my backup.

Those folders are suppose to be there on 4.2, Google changed the file system, that's the way it will be from now on android 4.2 and beyond so you will just have to accept googles decision, if you delete those folders you will end up with an empty sdcard an mess up your phone.

Anywho I deleted them both and their substructures. Could that have messed up my TWRP backup somehow? Weird stuff. The backup seems to sit there on my sdcard now at least. Will monitor it.
