TWRP 2.5.0.0 no longer remembers the last directory that a files was installed from. Can we please get an option to set a default directory to choose zip files from or an option to default to the last directory used?

I did modify my theme like this:

<object type="fileselector">
<highlight color="%fileselector_highlight_color%" />
<placement x="%fileselector_x%" y="%row2_text_y%" w="%fileselector_width%" h="%fileselector_install_height%" />

<fastscroll linecolor="%fastscroll_linecolor%" rectcolor="%fastscroll_rectcolor%" w="%fastscroll_w%" linew="%fastscroll_linew%" rectw="%fastscroll_rectw%" recth="%fastscroll_recth%" />
<text>%tw_zip_location%</text>
<separator color="%fileselector_separatorcolor%" height="%fileselector_separatorheight%" />
<sort name="tw_gui_sort_order" />
<icon folder="folder_icon" file="file_icon" />
<background color="%fileselector_background%" />
<font resource="filelist" spacing="%fileselector_spacing%" color="%text_color%" highlightcolor="%fileselector_highlight_font_color%" />
<filter extn=".zip" folders="1" files="1" />
<path name="tw_zip_location" default="/sdcard/[B][COLOR="Red"]zFlashables[/COLOR][/B]" />
<data name="tw_filename" />
<selection name="tw_file" />
</object>

But I have to go to Advanced > Reload Theme to get the custom location to work. All other theme elements load automatically, but not this one!

It was because of the theme......
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
Hi, I'm having an issue making a backup to my usb-otg drive with my Galaxy Nexus.

I connected an 8GB USB stick to a USB Dongle that's attached to my Galaxy Nexus and in previous versions of TWRP I've been able to do nandroids without any problem but now I get a "failed" error when I try to back up boot, system and data partitions.

I attached the log to see if it helps...what could be causing it? :confused:

EDIT: It turns out that Mounting it in the "Mount" menu and then trying to make a back up causes the backup to fail whereas just plugging the USB drive in and going directly to the Backup Menu works perfectly and doesn't fail (since it's automatically mounted I guess)....strange

im kinda running out of space right now

i wanna make another backup for my current rom

these are my steps-

9. wait 10 mins, then do another reboot

10. enjoy

wiping data in TWRP also wipes internal sdcard ;)

That's pretty much my exact process. It still leaves my app data, and settings from last Rom. I think I need to go back an update on twrp. Thanks tho!

Are you restoring apps from titanium backup? Maybe thats the issue

ROM edify scripts almost always include formatting /system partition, so I skip system wipe and only do factory reset. Never run into a ROM that doesn't, or at least I don't install those.

"Mount USB storage" I think means mount the phone storage to your computer as an external drive. "mount OTG" means mount your USB stick via an otg cable to the phone. I did it this morning; connected to phone with otg cable, went to "mount" - "mount OTG" and backed up straight to to my USB stick

I seem to be unable to delete my backups. I've tried a few file managers, and even shell gives me permission denied. It seems that the only way to delete them is to use the TWRP file manager from recovery. Is this intentional?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wilwilwel:
Love it how TWRP gets better and better.

Maybe this is not the place if so i'll go search further ;)

I'm missing to basis system features on the recovery (or overall Andriod implementation)

- fstrim http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/en/man8/fstrim.8.html

- fscheck http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/fsck.8.html

Is it possible to implement those functions in for example TWRP? Or even a force fscheck before executing a flash command?

Why since heavy data usage will clutter the SSD/NAND and eventually create badblocks. Andriod as far i know dont care about bad blocks it just writes the install no matter what. Causing weird problems with the device wich seems uncontrolable some times. Yet is this easy to prevent when implementing/porting those functions, getting control over the devices again.

I know fstrim is implemented in a app on the playstore called lagfix and seems to solve some lag problems in Andriod 4.2.2 after large file usage

How can I browse to the contents of system/etc/bluetooth using the TWRP file manager?

wiping data

If I am trying to wipe my int sd card (Gnex) to wipe data, do I wipe internal storage or format data? The big red warning symbol on format data kinda freaked me out saying it would remove encryption.. Using TWRP 2.4.2.0

Yes, everything I love is backed up to pc :D just cleaning the "sd card" to see if it runs any smoother and frees any wasted memory...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Jesco-:
wipe internal storage , wiping data means all apps are gone . so wipe INTERNAL STORAGE , if you wanna clean "SD card" of the GNex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Az Biker:
I ended up choosing "format data" because I wanted to get this taken care of before bed... What's the diff between format data and wipe internal? Format data cleared the sd card...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Khizar:
actually to correct you in twrp if you wipe data it will also WIPE sdcard.. so if you just want to wipe before flashing a rom you have to do a factory reset.. the wipes in twrp are different from cwm :good:

wiping internal storage ONLY wipes sdcard.. wiping data will wipe both data and sdcard

What can we do to request a Samsumg Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-7500) (p4) version of TWRP?

I could only find an old 2.2.1.5 version in the web but I never found my device in the 2.5 approved ones :crying:

There are some features that I cannot run in the old version (like installing ROM updates...). For any reason, maybe the scripts involved, the only I can get is TWRP being launched but it does not execute the actions asked for Cyanodelta app, for instance.

Yesterday I completely cleaned up my device. Wiped System as well as Internal Storage. Now after flashing a ROM I decided to take a nandroid backup and it's saved in data/media/TWRP instead of data/media/0/TWRP.

All my sdcard contents are in data/media/0.

What went wrong there? How can it be fixed? I'm not on 2.5.0.0 but on the just previous build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Az Biker:
I also recently wiped internal storage, and I checked and have no /0/ directory at all. Don't know if that's good or bad, but Gnex is running better after wiping it all. I'm running TWRP 2.4.2.0...

Here's the process I followed without any issues (courtesy of Nephilim). I think your issue may be the location of initial nand after complete wipe...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Quinny899:
You need to open a command prompt, change directory (using cd) to the folder with adb in it, then run the commands
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
I assume you haven't done the path set up yet. So do this.

First copy your ROM zip file and paste it in the directory where adb.exe is placed (in the SDK directory that is)

Now in the same directory, right click anywhere with shift key pressed (shift+right key)

Select 'Open Command Window here'

Now type 'adb devices' (make sure your phone is connected to your PC and is booted into the recovery mode)

You shall see a big alphanumeric code with recovery written next to it. This indicates that your device is recognized. If it doesn't pop up, unplug and replug your phone and type 'adb devices' again. If you still don't see an alphanumeric number, then probably you need to install the necessary drivers.

Now type 'adb push <name_of_ROM_file>.zip data/media'

For example, if the name of zip file is AOKP.zip then type 'adb push AOKP.zip data/media'

Now go to 'Install' in the recovery mode. Now, it's possible that you may not see the sdcard at once as you did a full wipe and symlinks don't exist. So manually navigate to data/media

Here you shall find your zip file (AOKP.zip according to the example)

Flash it. Enjoy!

In most cases you need to flash the Gapps too. So transfer the Gapps zip too to flash.

This is the most detailed answer I could provide. I hope it helps you. :)

Good luck.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AbhishekS:
Yes, that's because you haven't done the path setup.

Read steps 1 and 2. You need to navigate to the folder having adb.exe, press shift and right click inside the folder and select 'Open Command Window here'. Then do the adb commands.

There's an issue I'm having with this recovery which I didn't have on CWM 6.0.3.4. I've googled around and I couldn't find any kind of fix.

I'm running TWRP 2.6 and the issue is with ADB sideload, it doesn't work at all. It just gets stuck at starting ADB sideload(waited for like 5 mins).

ADB push works fine though.

I flashed it twice through GooManager.
