I like it however minus the teamwin screens and it looks sort of homemade however Ive found my new recovery love that i can que up everything to flash will make rom updates super easy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoSeriouS:
Yes that sounds very possible to me, damn it. I was restoring numerous backups (yes numerous b/c I get my crack flash on) and they're all the same....missing Google/sign in information. That sounds exactly right to me, and I'll check to be sure but I guess that's what happens when you're using recovery while driving (you might turn off backup of Google account).... Thanks!

Any one got a flash able zip to previous ver....only found IMG on was website
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rootbeer001:
got this newest version on a sprint gnex. every time i do something that requires "updating partition details", my phone freezes up. the only recovery option i have is to do a battery pull. screen will timeout and turn off, but any on-screen touches do not register.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 22stars:
that's strange, i'm running this on a toroplus as well and have had no issues - multiple nandroids backed up and restored along with my crackflashing habit and it's running just fine.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

. Please investigate. Backed up (tried twice non compressed/full) jb sorcery and all that was backed up was ROM....none of the settings...meaning I was at start screen and phone was at setup mode as if ROM was just flashed.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

That happened to me, but I think it was due to the code in clockwork. Because I installed the ROM with CW it will not be restorable by any other recovery [backed up or not]. I just uploaded that backup to PC and then deleted it from the phone to regain the space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jj14:
This is probably a dumb question, but how do I update TWRP? (I'm on 2.4) - do I need to back up anything before flashing the 2.5.0.0? Will my Nandroids (from 2.4) still work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CRIME INC.:
The easiest way to update is through the goo manager app. Just hit the three dots in the top right hand corner, then hit install open recovery. You don't have to backup anything. Your nandroids will all still work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jj14:
Thanks. I haven't used goo manager till now - While I'm not opposed to using it, is it possible to directly flash the update in recovery? (use TWRP 2.4 to flash TWRP 2.5?)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Boot into bootloader (not recovery), then:

fastboot flash recovery [I]image_file[/I]

I think someone posted a zip flashable via recovery too, but I'm not sure it's a good idea to flash recovery from recovery :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthew0776:
Yes, but would need a flash able zip made. Goo is the easiest way

I've tried to install the latest twrp 2.6.0.0 on my toroplus nexus. It finds and downloads the .IMG says the installation is done but doesn't actually flash. When I reboot I still have cwm. I've tried searching but haven't found anything. Plus search on the phone app isn't all that great. Did I miss something or does anyone have another method that will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoSeriouS:
Sometimes I've had issues when doing what you did to install. I've downloaded an apk from the Play Store (Paid apk but only $0.99) awhile back called "Flash Image GUI" made by joeykim (LINK), which has allowed me to successfully flash the TWRP img files from here (LINK). Never had an issue when flashing the TWRP img files using the Flash Image GUI apk, so even though the apk costs $0.99, I've found it to be well worth it for flashing img files to the Recovery partition (and it says you can flash Kernel img files as well, but I've never done so).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SPE926:
Found the app thread here and downloaded. Worked perfectly.

Dear Friends ,

My device is Gnex 4.3 Maguro , with on Believe rom and Golden kernel , I have the following issue :

I go in recovery mode , after any operation , example a nandroid backup , the recovery stay freeze , I can't do any operation , I'm forced to remove the battery and relaunch the bootsystem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LuBi:
FYI OP needs to be corrected, last change incorrect. Should be 2.6.1.0 not 2.6.0.0 again. Since 2.6.3.0 has been released I'd bet you'll add that changelog too. Thanks for all your efforts!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chasew83:
i am on the latest 2.6.3 recovery and have noticed that some backups when i try and delete them will not delete at all through recovery, restore, choose file, then delete backup. i do have a skin installed though i dont see how that would effect it. anybody else seeing this as an issue?

Nandroids with TWRP 2.6.3.1 seem to go to /data/media/TWRP rather than /data/media/0/TWRP and they are no longer visible via MTP. Is this a bug or have things changed?

Don't know if anyone posted this yet but, T.W.R.P 2.6.3.2 has been released. Here's the T.W.R.P. sites link:

openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-toroplus.img

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/toroplus

Edit: I flashed the image using flashify and it worked fine. :beer:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bazar617:
Thank YOU!!!!! I was looking all over for my backups (I knew I had over 5) but /sdcard/TWRP/ was completely empty. Hopefully 2632 or 3 will have fixed this issue (will be updating to it shortly).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
It's random, I've seen backups go to both places, not sure what causes it. Definitely some sort of a bug. What I did to fix it for now, as root I created a symlink /data/media/TWRP --> /data/media/0/TWRP

Not sure if it's a good idea or whether it survives, but it brought some sanity back for now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bazar617:
I should note I'm on Toro, not Toroplus (but still with the same issue, so it's still on topic)... but I just flashed 2632 and it corrected the backup location to /data/media/0/TWRP/... so I'd upgrade at your earliest opportunity, just in case the symlink option gives you any problems
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirxdroid:
Problem is I've seen it happen on my N4 and N5 and they are at various other TWRP versions. Maybe it needs to be fixed on a device by device basis or a general fix is needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
I'm having same issue on toroplus galaxy nexus on 2.6.3.2 i have no nandroid backups in the folder in recovery. Hopefully they'll update twrp to fix this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
I understand that this is a bit of a necro-post but, since this is the official XDA post for this recovery (and the OP was last updated back in June when the most recent version [2.8.7.0] was released even though there haven't been any posts here since 2013) I hope this is still the place to ask this question.

I'm having an issue where Nandroid backups are failing to back up the Data partition with the following error:

E:createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255

This error occurs with compressed encrypted and non-encrypted backups. On unencrypted non-compressed backups I get this error:

E:createTarFork() process ended with signal: 9

Thank you for any help you can give me with this issue.

EDIT: So, the problem has gone away. I don't know how it happened but, about a week ago I no longer had issues performing backups. Sorry if anyone found this thread while trying to fix the same problem themselves.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Here's an unofficial build for toroplus:

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24411628330025701

As I said in the toro thread, the open gapps updater script takes forever, so don't be alarmed if you flash a ROM update and it looks like it gets stuck. It will finish successfully, just give it time. (Give it time, as in, the usual one minute to flash the ROM and about ten minutes to figure out that, "Hey, yeah, I did those gapps right after all!")

The terminal emulator is WAY COOL! Arrow keys and tab auto-complete right in recovery. Makes me want to run in recovery all the time - all I need yet is a way to answer phone calls in recovery, it'll be golden...

Isn't there suppose to be an official 3.0 build for this ? I haven't been able to locate it so I will flash this one . Thank you .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xendrix:
im sorry...lol where is the twrp 3.0? ^^"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
So, according to TWRP's official page for the toroplus, it looks like our device is "No longer updated" and Dees_Troy is no longer listed as the maintainer.

For you Xendrix, if you look a couple posts above yours, you'll see that musical_chairs has posted an unofficial build of TWRP 3.0.0. I've been using it since it was posted and I haven't had any issues with it thus far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xendrix:
oh my gawd i did not notice that i looked up but missed it apparently! thanks for telling me and not tearing me down!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
Well, building it unofficially is a lot simpler than being a maintainer. It's trivial to do what I did - pull the tuna device and kernel trees from omap4-aosp, pull the bootable/recovery tree from TWRP, and build it. Bringing the official TWRP kernel and device trees for tuna up to date is another matter entirely. Realistically, for me to do it would mean dropping my cm builds and working with omnirom instead, since that's where the work for TWRP happens. I don't really want to do that.

Edit: I also had to throw together a toro device tree for omap4-aosp, as the tuna device tree now builds a recovery that will only flash unified tuna builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Max Frost:
The unofficial build works just fine and we sure don't want to take you away from CM . It's great to run a solid MM on this old phone . Thank you .

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
Are the TWRP builds able to access an OmniROM encrypted file system? I remember that they couldn't access the encrypted filesystem on CM back in Lollipop but, I was wondering if the situation was different now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] musical_chairs:
No, unfortunately. Ziyan had it mostly working, but decided that portion wasn't stable enough to merge at this point. See this post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akineesan:
createTarFork() process ended with signal: 9

Does anyone have a fix for the error: "createTarFork() process ended with signal: 9" ???

I'd like to update my I9300 to CM13 now that it has a stable version, but i can't get through the backup of my current ROM..

I have some old backups since i do this about monthly and it never failed before.

But still, I'd like to backup before upgrading.

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cardcaptor_RLH85:
Try clearing your cache and dalvik cache before performing the backup. I don't know exactly what is causing the issue but, that fixed the issue for me when I had it before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JohnCorleone:
I went to the official TWRP site and down loaded the latest official 3.0.0-2 build and I am running the latest official CM13 nightly with systemless root and systemless Xposed and everything is working perfectly!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PGHammer:
TWRP 3.0.3.0 and MM/later

TWRP 3.0.2.0 should work for any ROM later than 12 (I myself have used it with CM13 and I stuck with it for Unlegacy Android based on 7.1). Surprisingly, Arrow is amazingly well-behaved on 7.1 as well.

Has anyone attempted disaster recovery to see how it goes? Test out kernel, system, data restoration... etc?

If not... I'll get around to it this weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Link?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
...link to what? Did you mean to quote someone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Disaster recovery lol. I have no idea what it refers to but I'd try it and let you know
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
Disaster recovery is the process of recovering (via backup) from a disaster. Not specific to phones. "Ahh crap, my Windows server asploded! Ohhhnoeeee! Good thing I have a disaster recovery plan in place with these handy tape backups!" lol... that sort of thing.

In other words, what I was asking is if anyone wiped their phone or switched some software components around and attempted to restore a backup for the sake of verifying that it went smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Oh lol my bad makes perfect sense now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] my95z34:
Just did that and it works fine. So, for some reason the clearing the cache is what makes the reboot button not work right. Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcmm11:
I've run some restores and they've worked fine. For the record even though the backups have 'win' extensions they are, in reality, tar.gz files (for compressed backups) and .img files for the boot partition etc. So you can still use normal tools to work with the backups if needed/wanted

If you don't compress then they're probably regular tar files (for system and data), although I haven't verified that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
Updated to 2.1.1 and includes a build for Sprint Galaxy Nexus aka toroplus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
Backup works in 2.11 but can't restore. When I try to restore it just makes another backup. Installed the .img image and zip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Sprint version asserts are still busted. According to aosp, it should be using torospr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
Updated to 2.1.2 to fix restore issues. Sorry.

For now I'm going with what I found in the build.prop from the stock ROM. So who is right? AOSP or what's in the build.prop on the device that people are actually receiving?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Heya.

I PM'ed you a copy of what Sprint is shipping and the updater-script AOSP is pushing out. They seem to conflict :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
I can only define one in the prop in the recovery, but zip makers can allow for both with this:

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "torospr" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "torospr" || "ro.product.device") == "toroplus" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "toroplus");

I think the only way to get a definitive answer would be to get a copy of the stock recovery from the device. Anyone have a copy of the stock recovery.img? I can pull it apart and see what's in the stock recovery and that would tell us what the stock recovery is using. PM me a link if you have a copy. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedorda:
I am running 2.1.0 and when I try and flash 2.1.2 it fails with a status 7 error. The same error pops up when I try and flash the new LiquidSmooth 1.3. Is there an easy known fix or should I be trying to type out the whole error as it appears? ROM Manager also can't flash stock CWM over this.

EDIT: used the WubFresh's tool kit to reflash CWM and then 2.1.2 flashed fine along with LiquidSmooth 1.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marc.ientilucci:
hey im switching between rom's but i want to keep all my photo's.. do i choose factory reset or system when wiping data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
This is the default.prop from the stock recovery and it still says toroplus, so that's what I'm sticking with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Ok thanks. I will modify AOSP accordingly.

Flash Aborted

Tried to flash this in CWM (thought someone siad you could) and the flash 'aborted" -

I was hoping someone could give me the instructions for flashing Twrp with fastboot? (that is still a really new concept for me - just getting the hang of this phone and how different it is flashing compared to my old EPIC4g)

Any help is apprecaited -

Am I the only one using Goo Manager - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager? So far I've used it to download and flash 2.1.0 over Touch CWM and 2.12 over 2.1.0 with no issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dees_Troy:
You would have to post a log for me to know what's actually wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
When I try following those instructions, "hold volume up - press power" all it does is boot up my phone - I can into bootloader using the same process I used when I rooted my phone - and I tried to use the same process I originally used when I first loaded CWM onto my phone

I tried to put the Toroplus.img file in the platform tools folder - and using ADB attempted to flash the file to my phone - but every time I try that method I am getting an error saying - 'can't load ...file name" or something like that - I have checked my spelling and I am enrtering it correctly - when I look at Device Manager - I can see the "ANDROID DEVICE" is installed and Drivers are updated and working properly..

edit - I saw a post just after my last post and tried the Fastboot Flash again - and I think it worked - it appeard to go thru from the flash - now I just have to boot into recovery to see if it is there- thanks for the help - I do appreciate it.

+1 - all is good - TWRP installed over CWM - and am creating a back up -

Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riggsandroid:
hold vol. up AND down at the same time, and hit power - should get you to fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
Put the recovery image in the same SDK folder as fastboot.exe. Hold vol up + down + power. Select fastboot and let it boot. From inside the folder where you saved the files (on a pc running Windows), hold Shift and right click a blank space in the folder. Select "Open command window here". Type in "fastboot flash recovery [recoveryname.img]". When it's finished type "fastboot reboot". You're finished.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riggsandroid:
the problem with flashing the zip with CWM appears to be related to the fact we're using a build of CWM from the vzw nexus which is toro. The twrp zip is looking for toroplus so its failing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
Edit: nevermind I re-read your response.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshw0000:
Disregard - duplicate post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mocsab:
Not when you already have a recovery installed - holding those down take you to whatever recovery you have - and fastboot is not an option in recovery (at least not CWM)

But it doesn't matter - I was able to use ADB to do a Fastboot installation of TWRP and am all set - but unless I am grossly mistaken, the instructions on the web site are incorrect. (it ddidn't say volume up.down - it said Volume UP - and it doesn't account for those people who already have recovery installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
