I had a problem doing a restore yesterday. I use 4.3.605.2 stock rooted unlocked s-off. I use stock hboot and stock recovery.

I fastboot boot twrp.IMG from a pc to boot up TWRP when I want to use it

I made a backup One to two weeks ago, and tried to do a restore last night. all partitions are selected for the restore, but only system gets restored and then twrp goes to its main menu. this was a repeatable error. so, I did a restore with only data selected, and it worked, and then another restore with only cache selected.

I shouldn't need to do a separate restore for each partition.

So if you can repeat the error, then maybe you can fix it sometime in the future.

Regards,

Howard

I figured out my issue, CWM touch wasn't flashing crap correctly. I got AmonRa on did the main ver fix, and then updated to TWRP works GREAT!.

CWM just doesn't play nice.
[HTC Rezound] heyis4horses:
Flashing keeps failing when updating from the older version of twrp
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It's not a flash able zip people. It is a PH98IMG.zip. Flash it in hboot, not recovery.

Howard, I have trouble believing you because every single one of your posts I have read has had loads of wrong info in it and you are the only one to report the problem.
[HTC Rezound] live2die:

[HTC Rezound] apophis9283:
Get'em con. FYI to you all. If you read before you do, you will have less issues.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
con,

If you prefer we can Yahoo I'm or something else like Skype.

I have a bscs from umcp, and loads of experience in the IT field. I personally believe to use stock, change to customized components only if it gives you some features you really love. Never mismatch components between os versions. Most developers are hackers who break functions and their products are buggy because they don't test properly or don't care. The things many people do here make me cringe.

I have cm9 on my older droidX because it was the only way to get ICS. I anticipate using cm10 on the rezound some day for similar reasons. I don't think jb or key lime pie will ever reach us from Verizon.

I see my future next phone being a stock rooted nexus purchased from Google and abandoning Verizon. Will get Google updates far longer than from Verizon. I like root primarily for backup purposes.

I am far more "at home" at other forums where people are far more cautious with their expensive rezound. I am "different" from most at xda, but I am not a liar nor troll.

I keep my rezound stock hboot, recovery, and kernel. System is stock rooted S-off with nova launcher. When I want to use TWRP, I boot it via fastboot. I do not flash it, and perhaps this is why the TWRP bug occurs with my phone and not others. I could even share the nandroid backup with a TWRP developer if after testing the nandroid will be deleted.

On the other hand, I can live with the TWRP bug and restore one partition at a time, and permit you to consider me a troll.

xda is the source for TWRP, Amon RA, SuperSU, etc.. In general I am very conservative and need a compelling reason to modify.
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Cool story.

Tonight I made a full backup with TWRP, and then immediately restored it. There were no problems.

Interesting that it makes a backup of the recovery partition but there is no option to restore it.

Perhaps there was some problem with my backup from a week or two ago?

Hi guys,

Do you guys still have Con's TWRP 2.1.1 (ICS)? Please share with since TWRP 2.2 seems to be not so cooperative.

Thank you
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Any update on this?

================

Any further updates on this?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
My porting method didn't work. The current version works fine and the new version doesn't include really any fixes for the Rez hardware. I don't think I will be updating this further. I have pretty much dropped all Rezound support since I haven't had one for over a month and a half.
[HTC Rezound] porkrynd:
Con, could you add an option to wipe boot?

[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
This would be awesome... I appreciate all of con's work, but maybe someone else could step in to maintain/port TWRP for us?
[HTC Rezound] YTHero:
I let my phone sit without the battery in it over night and still do not see any indication that my phone is charging when booted into TWRP.

I have tried this recovery on two firmwares 4.03.605.2 and the official OTA 3.16.605.12 (I think thats right).

I realize that you probably aren't doing more updates to this recovery anymore seeing that you have moved on to another phone. Regardless, I thought I would get this out there incase anyone else is using this recovery.
[HTC Rezound] porkrynd:
Would it be possible to use a terminal command to wipe boot using the terminal emulator built in to TWRP? If so, what would the command be?

Thanks for this con. Hope someone can take over for you. Love touch recoveries, and hope this continues to get dev attention. Appreciate all your efforts for us.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Well..I guess since it's not mounting the internal it sees the external as Sdcard instead of how amon ra would see external as sdcard2. So yes I would think that was normal.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
your sd card is probably still messed up from the s-off procedure.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
I agree , I just RUU'd back to GB and will start over :)
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
damn con! s-off made you a powerhouse!
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Just corrected my post.

Actually, when I looked it was actually on /sdcard2 ... when it was doing the backup it said it was going to /sdcard
[HTC Rezound] droidgenius:
dude thanks!!!!

this is personally my favorite recovery yet.... love how it says the time and battery percentage at the top..... for the next version, you should add an option in the file manager to rename to ph98img that would put this recovery over the top
[HTC Rezound] localceleb:
Man, this is a thing of beauty. Great job!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I could possibly make a button that deletes the zip file with a single press. However I am gonna concentrate on getting the external card to mount first.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
yea man that would be awesome... and yes as soon as u get it mounted it will be golden

[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
You have to install the hboot that was included when you downloaded the s-off tool
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Or just unlock..same thing happened to me forgot to unlock after ruu hehe .

I installed the eng-hboot and it worked
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Ill make a PH98IMG for people having issues.
[HTC Rezound] dmoses1969:
Thanks,

This is all getting really confusing with the 200 new threads on s-off. Not sure which file to flash that came with the s-off tool. The one suggested is like 0.99mb so I really wasn't sure about using it. And I am glad I didn't go try the ENG Hboot since I am updated to the latest. I think that can only be used on GB RADIOS/FW.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
That is correct..

The OP is updated with the PH98IMG.zip
[HTC Rezound] dmoses1969:
Your awesome, Just flashed it.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
i backed up my rom but its not showing up in recovery why wouldnt it be?
[HTC Rezound] B-Mod:
It worked for me, and I am on the leaked firmware....
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
I ran the latest leaked ICS RUU and obtained s-off with ENG Hboot and Amon RA 3.15 on 2 Rezounds and all radios and Mount points are correct including showing all files on both internal and external SDs. Having no problems with the radios that I can see. Am I missing something Con.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I don't understand what the question is...
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Original Eng boot seems to work fine with the lastest ICS radios and mount points if installed over the ICS RUU.
[HTC Rezound] droidgenius:
kinda

idk if you know what im talking about.... like if you have a kernel you need to install and it wasnt named ph98img and you have already wiped everything and dont have a computer at hand.... you mark the file and click an option that you can type in... or auto edits the the name....
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Strange.
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Con I'm away from computers for most of the week and haven't achieved S-Off yet so I can't flash the old main version PH98IMG you posted. Would you be kind enough to make one for me and other people in my boat who are on the leaked firmware and simply unlocked but otherwise stock? I would be sincerely appreciative :-)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Use the main version fix found in my signature.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
The Old firmware option is a fix that gets flashed in the recovery for the internal SD for those who have something they wish to flash from there. Without either of the fixes only the external sd card is accessible.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Exactly... I should maybe try to clear that up in the OP
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Hey just thought of something, con. Does this recovery allow charging while running it? If not, it might exhibit the same behavior as CWM5.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
It allows charging while the device is powered off. I made sure of that upon release. I am not sure if it charges while it is in recovery, but it does charge fine with the device powered off.
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
Love this recovery, even the int sd issue isnt that big of a deal and is nowhere near a deal breaker. However, I am a flash-a-holic and sometimes format my internal SD card if I've made a TON of flashes from different roms etc. Does this give an option to format internal sd?

Either way, this is my new recovery!
[HTC Rezound] narta:
I have a minor aesthetically annoyance from the non 720p TWRP "splashscreen". Will you fix it down the road?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I don't think so, but I can make a zip that would clear it later this week.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I can try, but I don't think I can since the splash screen was made for a qHD phone and I can't find it's location. It could be part of a binary or I could see if I can override it. But I will work on it later. I am more concerned about the internal SD fix.
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
Whenever you have free time :) There is just too much win with this recovery to replace it with anything else!
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
so does that mean wiping with this recovery doesnt work? and will scotts cleanwipe work on this recovery?
[HTC Rezound] dmoses1969:
Con, Does this support themes like other TWRP 2.1 Recoveries?
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
You can wipe, do a factory reset, wipe data, cache and dalvik. Just no option for internal SD. Cleanwipe is ran from recovery, but does not do internal SD. It can be ran from TWRP.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Wiping works, just not the internal SD

It does, but unless the theme is for a 720p phone it won't fit right. And there aren't 720 themes yet. I won't be making any. You can make them yourself with their theming guide or search around the galaxy nexus section for themes.
[HTC Rezound] Deathbyfugu:
Sorry I was not clear: I have unlocked my phone (which is on ICS firmware) but have no recovery yet installed. I was attempting to use the PH98IMG.zip you attached to the OP to get it on my phone. Sorry I was in the waiting room of a doctor's office waiting for my Dad's procedure to be complete. Anyhow I'd have used your Main version mighty fixerupper file if I already had Amon-Ra or CWM or your port of TWRP installed.
[HTC Rezound] superchilpil:
Con, maybe someone has said this but after you flash a zip and hit reboot it reboots recovery and not to system
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Uploaded. It is called EMERGENCYMAINVERSIONPH98IMG.zip Make sure to reset your main version after this b/c it sets it to 4.x which should be higher than anything you have already.

Strange... I am not sure if I can fix that. However, if it reboots into recovery, you can use the other reboot menu to reboot system. I know that button works for a fact.
[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
Just to double check because I don't see it mentioned specifically in the OP or the thread thus far...

Can I use this recovery without being S-OFF? I'm still hesitant to S-OFF since it requires jumping. I was hoping to wait longer, but I'd love to flash this recovery.

Also, I'm on ICS, so looking through the thread there seems to be some argument over whether this is okay or not?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
You can use it without S-OFF. However, I highly recommend S-OFF and will no longer support S-ON users with problems related to S-ON.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
@quantumrabbit

Actually I suggest doing the exploit as soon as you can. Especially if on the leaked firmware so you can rollback to the January RUU to take any future OTA if needed. Also still have an inkling possibility of it getting patched.
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
With S-off we no longer need the OTA. If they patch it the OTA is what will cause you to lose S-off and root. We can use rooted RUU to update like the old days.:D
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Already aware of this. Used the term OTA loosely to make him understand.
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
Highly unlikely ota will set s-on. But they may patch so if you aren't already s-off you cant run the exploit.
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
I'm being loose also. lol Best to teach them once they have s-off to never take OTA.:D
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
I don't understand, why not take the update? If it was an hboot patch for s-off I would understand, but this true s-off.

Sorry for hijacking.
[HTC Rezound] Quantumrabbit:
I am aware of what S-OFF grants me. I was on the Incredible before this. I just wanted to avoid a method which has a physical component. I prefer software only hacks for safety sake... it's vastly easier to mess up my device in a very bad way with a piece of wire relying on shorting out my device at a specific time during boot.

Bad timing, or hitting the wrong jumps, or using a wire with too much or too little capacitance... could be disastrous. At the very least, I'm waiting for time and reading the full walkthrough a few times to make sure I do it right.

I will be sure not to update before I S-OFF however.
[HTC Rezound] jclendineng:
Dude. It's not that hard. Very easy actually. If you mess it up you either can't read directions or you have other issues. Lol.:) it's very simple to do
[HTC Rezound] emarietta:
nice recovery.. seems a lot faster than amon ra
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
All they have to do is write the Secureflag back in to make s-on and write whatever they need to kill exploit. We have never taken OTA's after s-off and root. Standard s-off and root was killed by OTA to GB. Revo broke it untill Rezound. Took one day to get Tbolt. Took 6 days to get EVO 3D. Took 6 months to get Rezound. You willing to take the chance. Not me.:cool:

Haven't seen any reports of bricks. If it bricks take a voltmeter from battery to all gold contacts till you actually short it out. All Rezounds are still under 1 yr MFG Warranty or Insurance and if it won't crank they will replace it. I did both mine I bought out right on Ebay with no insurance. Saving my upgrade for something worth while.:D

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

TWRP rocks. Con will get this going. All are faster than Amon but Amon is the gold standard as far as reliability on any device that is supported.
[HTC Rezound] GreenXSniper:
I felt the same way, used a paperclip and got s-off the first try.
[HTC Rezound] con247:


They won't do that because it would S-ON their dev phones.
[HTC Rezound] k_flan:
An ota might wipe out a patched hboot, but its not going to set s-on. Every ruu and ota would have done it by now. I prefer an odex Rom and the first thing I wilm do once the ruu is released us run it. :)
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Just a question, I have flashed 2 roms both rez rom updates. My phone says rebooting to bootloader but doesn't actually do it. I also notice it doesn't put the ph98 file on the sd card. Otherwise, installs the Rom without errors any suggestions ? Don't think it is the Sd card, I swapped the other one out. I ruu' d back to gb , 2.011 and tried amon ra 3.14 and it works fine again so my mount points are back to normal.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
When I tested it it did place a ph98 on the sd card fine, but it didn't reboot to bootloader. Tomorrow I will see about swapping the reboot binary with the one from amon ra.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Thanks for the nice port, con. Loving it so far. I bet it's going to need a GB and ICS version for int sd.
[HTC Rezound] mjh68:
Thank you Con ! Otherwise Love it ! and it won't be an issue once we get some Roms included with the Kernel so we can just flash the whole thing in recovery :)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Yeah that should start happening with the next round of rom updates (hopefully). I will try to look into the internal card issue when I have time this week and if I can fix it I will have separate versions. But for now it doesn't matter.

Recovery looks pretty sweet but after flashing im getting acore force closes in my rom, dont know if its related but it started right after. Im gonna try wiping cache.

---------- Post added at 03:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 AM ----------

Ok false alarm the cache wipe fixed it :P lol if anyone else has the same problem wipe cache and dalvik-cache and it fixes it.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
With s-off, could do the same with Amon RA. Where it's going to come into play, is the really cool ability to be able to flash a bundled kernel in recovery with a rom zip. Not having to do a PH98IMG in bootloader and fiddle around with your SD card if the rom bootloops.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
Yeah I know that was way annoying
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
This works very well and I love the ease of use compared to Amon Ra, but I have two problems with it: it doesn't find my /cache partition so it can't wipe anything from it and the kernel installation scripts that are included in most roms don't work (they don't reboot the device to hboot). I just got S-Off, so this doesn't matter much later on but most roms need it now.
[HTC Rezound] nbanicholas:
Thank God!

I have been wanting this recovery for a while. Keep up the good work!
[HTC Rezound] con247:
yeah ill work on that. That is 2nd priority to internal storage. However it might get fixed first since it might be easy.

Also a friendly reminder: any bugs present in the E3D version will show up in here. I will try to rebase on newer versions as they come. I believe they released a new version (no clue what changed) and I will try to rebase on that later this week. However, don't hold off on flashing this... it might be awhile and there are no "severe" bugs with this one that have been discovered so far.
[HTC Rezound] prdog1:
Don't know what roms you are running but most top roms I run running Con's script don't auto boot to hboot. As long as con has a manual boot to hboot like Amon all is good.:cool:
[HTC Rezound] ih8mydroid:
I found that most of the roms with scripts to auto install the kernal after the rom in hboot wouldnt work correctly and I would end up having to use fastboot it anyway. I always strip the boot image from the rom and flash in fastboot prior to installing the rom anyways.

Con will work out the bugs in due time, but like he said above, this works perfectly for the time being
[HTC Rezound] con247:
This recovery just works differently. My original script was meant solely for Amon Ra. I will see what I can do about adapting the recovery to work better with the script. However, it won't really be necessary once roms start flashing boot directly now that we have S-OFF
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i vote dont worry about the booting into fast boot like u said... it wont be needed anymore and people can just manually boot there anyways
[HTC Rezound] spitzaf:
Agreed. Not worth maintaining two methods for flashing kernels, that just makes for spaghetti code.
[HTC Rezound] yojoe600:
i just think more people care about the mounting points
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I was using the newest RezRom that didn't work with it, and just to make sure I tried to flashed Nils latest business sense which didn't work either. They don't create the PH98IMG.zip and transfer it over to the sdcard, well some do, but they don't reboot into HBOOT. For now I'll just stick with Amon Ra.

I was going to hit the "thanks" button, but I've used up all mine already. :D
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
That shouldn't be an issue if already on an ICS based Rom
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
I knew this would be an issue so prior to flashing so i extracted the PH98IMG.zip from the "kernel" folder and placed on the sd card so I could boot into bootloader and flash after the rom.

I enjoy the interface so I think I'll stick to this one until more devs get on board with the s-off flashing process.

True since they use the same kernel and any ICS kernel should technically get you booted, however, Joelz & Bored do make their own changes to their kernels.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
They do? Link please to source. I wanna know what they change.
[HTC Rezound] Marcismo55:
Ask them or check out their ROM threads...I know for a fact Joel's changes the ram disk for the Sony Bravia engine and I believe llBoredll makes some changes as well.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I thought those were all changes made in system....

I mean, since ics kernel source hasn't been released. Sorry for going a little off topic. Im still learning some stuff. :)
[HTC Rezound] jmichaels1982:
question

WHen you the internal sd does not mount correctly, what do you mean by that ?

I have flashed this recovery just to test the jumper s-off method and whether it will accept the recovery via fastboot and it did.

Then i rebooted into my rom (cleanrom 1.7, I am on gb). and i can see my internal sd and external sd just fine.

I then tried to mount it to my computer and I was again met with success.

The only thing I flashed was TWRPVIGORBETA1.img

What am I looking for that will not work ?

I got it , it wont see the internal in the recovery it self, which is really useless to me anyway ! thank you for a great recovery !
