nandroid would not restore for me after upgrading to latest version. back to 2.4.1.0. this sucks. i should have made a cwm backup like tiny said.

edit: fastboot installed 2.4.1.0 and was able to restore a backup made on 2.4.4.0. would like to know why these newer versions have problems restoring backups for some people.

Just backed up/restored a nandroid using 2.4.4.0. No problems whatsoever. Which way r u installing, fastboot or te. Whichever try the opposite and see what happens. I alsways use TE and haven't had any problems.

That is funny because I would like to know too but since you didn't post a log, I guess we'll never know.

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

Run the restore then advanced, copy log. I prefer to have logs pasted to paste websites but Dropbox or other file sharing sites are fine too. Best is to create an issue on github.com as per the original post otherwise I tend to lose track of the issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
ok, i'll get that going in a little bit. probably gonna be uploaded to my dropbox, but i'll check out the github link.

Any ideas/suggestions? Just trying to isolate the issue. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ars0n:
So weird issue I noticed when fixing permissions. It goes through them SUPER fast, almost like its not even doing them. I select advanced, fix permissions and in about 1 second it says, finished fixing permissions. Yet, If I fix permission while using rom manager app, it takes a good 2-3 minutes like it should..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] landstander:
This is normal... TWRP's implementation of Fix Permissions runs MUCH faster. Rest assured that it's actually performing the necessary work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ars0n:
sweeeeet thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] twillet50:
FYI. Be careful with Wipe in the new version. Instead of going to another menu it goes directly to factory reset. Hit advanced to just wipe davik or cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
thanks for the heads up. does it still give you the slider bar before it does anything if you hit wipe?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarden:
Yes, but I agree that it might trip up some people who like to breeze through that stuff.

Overall I am not a huge fan of some of the layout changes, but... really, who cares. The recovery works very well... it is feature rich and reliable, so I am happy to adapt, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrKleen1:
I don't like the new update. It seems to have added additional steps to accomplish tasks and backing out. I love this recovery and have used it for some time now. But I regret updating to the new version. I have not looked yet but I am going to see if I can go back to the better last version.

Isn't it in "wipe>advanced settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chukis13:
Is it called "USB otg"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Huh? I thought you were asking about how to wipe the sdcard? Do you have a theme applied in twrp, cause that can cause you to not see some options in the menus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chukis13:
No theme. GNex doesn't have a real sdcard. Just want to wipe my storage without having to reflash anything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
if you're on 2.5.0.0, go to wipe and hit format data if you wish to wipe your entire phone. but i think it will wipe your rom too, i'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhilDX:
correct, this will wipe your ROM too

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Race To Die:
2.6.0.0 update available on goo now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SirBindy:
What's new in 2.6.0.0:

Special Note: If you are running a custom theme, some of the changes in 2.6.0.0 will likely not be visible with your custom theme.

Can encrypt a backup to prevent theft of private data from your backup files
Updated graphics / icon courtesy of shift
Updated exFAT to latest commits
Fixed a problem with Samsung TouchWiz decryption
Update SuperSU binary
Fixed saving of backup partitions list
Fixed saving of last used zip install folder
Fixed backup of datadata on devices that use a separate partition for datadata
Fixed some issues with the advanced wipe list (android_secure, can now wipe internal storage on data/media deivces and wipe data on the advanced list no longer formats the entire data partition)
Fixed some problems with partitioning a SD card
Various other bug fixes and tweaks

Notes about encrypted backups:
Why encrypt your backups? -- Most people store their backups on the device. Any app that has permission to access storage could potentially read your backup files and try to harvest your data. Encrypted backups also provide an added layer of security if you move your backups to other storage devices or to the cloud. The encryption that we're using is probably not strong enough for enterprise level security, but should be strong enough to make it significantly difficult to get to your data.

Encryption is using OpenAES which uses AES 128-bit cbc encryption. If you happen to use a longer password (over 16 characters) then the encryption strength improves to 192 or 256 bits. Do not forget your password. If you forget your password you will be unable to restore your backup. We don't encrypt the entire backup. Encryption is very CPU intensive and can be fairly slow even when we spread the workload over multiple cores even on the latest high-end devices. To ensure that encrypted backups don't take forever, we don't encrypt any other partitions besides /data and in /data we don't encrypt /data/app (or other app related directories where apks are stored) and we don't encrypt dalvik cache.

I'm on 2.5 and just tried to flash from a 4.1.2 ROM to a new one, and the file structure didn't move like it was supposed to. Is that normal now? Just have to get a file explorer and move everything manually after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nismology:
Does anyone know if a theme will carry over from 2.5.0.0 to 2.6.0.0?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MordyT:
What did you move to? A 4.2? It should work, and has little to do with the recovery, more to with the initial script the rom runs.

It will, but you will be missing the new features.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TMFGO45:
Yes I moved to a 4.2 but have since went back. I was under the impression that the recoveries were all updated way back when, to fix the directory issue....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MordyT:
So 4.2 makes a file after it moves the folders into the correct structure saying it is done. When you moved, it made the file and moved it. When you went back, the file still existed and it didn't move.

When you moved again back to 4.2, since the file was there, it once again did not move items.

The recoveries used to wipe this file, but a long time ago were updated to not wipe the file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:

You can always keep that zip, unzip it and just replace the recovery.img inside it with the newest one from twrp and flash it.

Hey all, I am new to this phone. Had a DINC and am now on a Rezound. Got this phone from a buddy for $20 to tinker with. I am unable to get TWRP to mount the SD as a USB drive. I looked all over the forums but didn't seem to see anyone else have this issue.

Thus far I have

Unlocked, installed SU and busybox, installed CM and TWRP 6.0.0.0 etc.

Any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Ahhh, I am seeing that you cannot mount it in a CWM thread and you have to use ADB to push files. Nevermind!

Anyway I was slowly scrolling down this last page of thread, and I noticed you posted the flashable zip for 2.5.0, then 2.6.0.0, and as I'm coming closer to the bottom I was hoping you would have posted this most recent version, and boom there it is. :) TYVM

because I don't mess with adb, only I do is flash in recovery, so again, thank u!!

I have tried installing 2.6.3.0 twice through the goo app, which has always worked previously. It downloads and says it was installed, but when I go into recovery, it still shows 2.6.1.0. Is anyone else having this issue? Maybe I just need to fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Yep, fastboot is guaranteed to work. Just download the .IMG file from Team Wins website and fastboot flash it to recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Empty Hand:
Thanks. Also, I just checked the gsm thread and saw plenty of posts about the issue. The fix (which I just tested) is to edit the download path in the goo app settings and replace the "0" portion with "legacy" (like the tibu issue with 4.3).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Cool, I didn't even think about doing it that way. Thanks for the info.

You don't need a zip. Go to twrp and DL the 2.6.3.1 recovery iMG, go to the play store and dl flashify, open flashify and it will ask if you wanna flash a zip, boot img or recovery IMG. Select recovery, find the twrp recovery, flash and win

Just noticed that if you go into the restore menu and try to delete a recovery file, it does not actually delete the file. Works if you delete from file manager though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NeverSeparate:
It has been working fine for me. I use it every time I make a new back up. Have you updated the recovery? I'm on 2.6.3.2 but it worked in last few versions also. Maybe try to reflash it. Download the image and you can use recovery tools from the market to flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThePhantom97:
I posted the below in the Support forum but not getting much of a response so thought I might try here:

This was an after thought while I was racking my brains. I already have the 4.4.2 rom installed, if I format my "SD card" now will that affect the functionality of the rom? Perhaps I am being too cautious but I don't want to take any chances of bricking my GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
I remember I had issue with using adb sideload function within twrp. I believe the issue is that you must start the sideload command on your laptop first(in the terminal/command prompt) and THEN start it in TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ThePhantom97:
I appreciate your response. One of the other issues was that when I started sideload in TWRP and then typed ADB devices in terminal no devices were present (why I thought could be a driver issue). However, for some weird reason beyond my understanding it is working fine today. I plugged in my phone to begin my trials again today and tada it works, I typed "adb devices" in terminal and now it shows up with a sideload status and I am able to sideload a rom. Sometimes I hate computers/electronics and I chose a career in them. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashclepdia:
That sounds like the issue I had.

If I started sideload from TWRP FIRST without connecting to adb, it wouldn't even show under devices.

But if I started adb first then initiated in TWRP it would work.... Sometimes lol. I seem to recall usually using fastboot boot recovery.img (using a cwm img) for sideload when needed cuz it gave me less issues. That way I could use cwm without installing it, then when finished I wouldn't have to reinstall twrp(that was the next thing I was going to suggest trying)

Glad it's working for ya now :D

The following was from a post on a Linux forum back in 2008. Modern versions of tar should be able to handle large file sizes. The other points would also be valid. It's possible that the way tar is compiled it's lacking large file support, but that shouldn't be the case. BusyBox fixed this back in 2006
