Thanks for testing. Anyone wanting to test can PM me and I can get an image. Try booting recovery then battery pull and boot system. See if /proc/last_kmsg exists and paste the contents at a paste site.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ClosedEyesSeeing:
Attached is the last_kmsg. I let it attempt TWRP/recovery 3 times then booted into system.

Bah, forgot to pastebin:

Okay the kernel isn't initting. That kmsg is from a cm based rom. I need to see if my device configs didn't get reverted from my last tree fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
We will be releasing 2.5 tomorrow however since I don't have the i717 anymore I need help figuring out the issue with device configs. If someone can help please come to irc.freenode.net #twrp and hang out. We need someone who can stay on all the time to get messages. Please PM me if you can help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ClosedEyesSeeing:
For those of you wondering, 2.5.0.0 does not have the screen timeout issue that affected some people. The new timeout is pretty slick actually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Thanks to ClosedEyesSeeing for testing all day on IRC! Without his help you wouldn't have this update.

Still running CWM on my Note. Before I break the ice and change over to TWRP I have a question. Using Titanium Backup I am able to restore apps from the CWM NAND backups. Will TB interface with TWRP in the same way?

Edit: Nevermind. I see that TWRP is compatible with TB. Awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
CWM and TWRP backups are NOT compatible.

update: with this new version every ROM (ICS,JB) then i flash the kernel, modem etc for some reason my signal simply disappear not sure what cause that but not happen with the ver. 2.4.4.0 for now i will back to that version

Thanks :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lowspeed:
A reboot and signal comes back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
TWRP doesn't flash zips, it just calls updater in the zip to run against the updater-script.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mervingio:
i know on some CM based ROMS but man NOT in STOCK ICS anyway i revert to previous version with zero issues now ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
I believe it's a cm issue. I have to put the phone in and out of airplane mode to get it to lock on to the network.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mervingio:
nope only i restart the phone but is very very strange that happen on stock ics too but later i will try it again i flash ROMS every day ;)

2.6.1.0 cannot reboot to recovery or access it at all.

2.6.0.1 works just fine though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Rebooting from the rom? What happens when you reboot?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scariola:
I have tried to odin and flash from recovery both new versions.

Basically stuck in a reboot loop on samsung logo, vibrate, samsung logo again. Not sure how I can help, but always willing to try.

Tried forcing into recovery to no avail. Both volume buttons on reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] demigodchewtoy:
I can confirm your issue. Installed from odin and zip and in both cases TWRP 2.6.1.0 will not load and instead reboots the phone. If I don't attempt to load TWRP, the phone will boot normally, unless I select "reboot recovery" from the shutdown menu, in which case: welcome to boot loop!

Reverting to a previous version immediately solves the issue as previous versions of TWRP work normally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
After you get the boot loop, pull the battery, then boot android. See if you have /proc/last_kmsg and paste it at http://paste.tinyw.in. Please give me the link.

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] demigodchewtoy:
Unfortunately, there is no /proc/last_kmsg following the boot loop, just /proc/kmsg, and that file is 0 bytes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sheist!:
I can confirm that TWRP 2.6.1.0 does install and works OK. Reboot to recovery and all functions OK. However, 2.6.0.1 does NOT work properly.

Also, Goomanager does not see 2.6.1.0. It only recognizes 2.6.0.1 as being "newest" and thus I had to get 2.6.1.0 manually via browser.

Do not install 2.6.0.1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] demigodchewtoy:
It is in fact the other way around. 2.6.0.1 works fine, 2.6.1.0 is broken. To be even more specific, the September 6, 2013 build of TWRP for SGH-I717 is broken.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sheist!:
You are incorrect. Your install is faulty.

Excerpt from recovery.log:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sheist!:
It was not built on Sept 6, but I see TWRP was updated and perhaps that is the bad one. Here is the one I installed on Sept 4 that works. (actually late Sept 3)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] demigodchewtoy:
Mystery solved, your version of 2.6.1.0 worked like a charm. The files currently on the TWRP website for the SGH-I717 dated September 6, 2013 are broken (or are for a different device). This includes the .tar and .zip files.

How curious...

Thanks Sheist!(er) for the working TWRP 2.6.1.0!

Thanks bigbiff for looking into the issue!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:

Bawl. Still wants to download 2.6.0.1 when selecting "install recovery script"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
After some testing, I've found that the latest 2.6.3.0 seems to be doing something funny with the PAC Man 4.3 ROM.

After clean installing the ROM, GAPS, and installing apps, everything is great. But when the phone reboots (reboot, turn off and turn on again, take battery out, and then turn on - whatever you want), the phone doesn't seem to want to boot.

Not exactly sure what the problem is, but besides not booting after the Samsung Galaxy Note splash screen, when I tried "Fix Permissions" in recovery, I got an error. Can't remember exactly at the moment, but something along the lines that something didn't exist.

I redownloaded the ROM, GAPS, tried copying files directly to the MicroSD to minimize any errors that may have occurred during file transfer and did check MD5's. After a clean install, and reboot, phone won't boot past recovery. Finally revereted back one version of TWRP, and everything seems to be ok.

Am I doing something wrong? It was the zip version of the latest TWRP for the galaxy note i717 that I was having problems with. Not sure if the recovery would generate that kind of problem or not?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pockets916:
+ 1 i'm on pac and having the same issues as above I was going to go back to the previous twrp to see if that fixes the problem but i'm not at home right now so im not sure its a twrp issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
Same thing with carbon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Can you guys upload recovery.log?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] eugenekim618:
Confirmed, everything ok with previous version.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to get a recovery log.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 2sl0w:
Not sure why but I am on latest carbon nightly + 9/16 uber with the latest twrp and I am not experiencing this no boot bug. I manually flashed the update for the latest twrp and have had no issues. (Goo kept recommending the old version). I have switched batteries (so a cold boot) and rebooted once to flash the new kernel. Upon reading this I manually rebooted and pulled the battery with no issues.

In fact the phone is running better than ever...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] warfenix:
Guess you're lucky then.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AliKingKong:
I am running Slim Bean Beta with Uber Kernel and have had no problems with TWRP 2.6.3 at all. However, the app GooManager failed to install it for me and I had to use Odin 1.85 to flash the new TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
While running the 2.6.3.0 TW on the BeanStalk 4.3 i would get the boot stall, i would have to factory reset, the restore a back up to get it to boot. Ive never pulled a recovery log but ill give it shot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
I am just an end user of goo manager. I recommend if it doesn't work just do the manual install.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Do you mean after installing the rom or restoring a backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
Rom fully installed and running, boot in to recovery to make a back-up, restart, doesnt boot, so i go back to recovery and factory reset and then restore the back up i just made and it boots. im pulling the recovery log on it right now but forgot i reverted to TW2.6.0.0 so im flashing 2.6.3.0 to see if i still have the issue. ill put up an edit.

Edit of course it working now, i even tryed flashing something over and it still works, so maybe going back to 2.6.0.0 and back? if you still want the log ill send it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Yes, please paste the log at http:/paste.tinyw.in and provide me the URL.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
It's just stuck on the samsung logo?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Can you try an older version of TWRP? 2.5 2.4 etc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
Sure i need a day or so on that one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hfam95:
please delete
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] frome901:
Bad news on this end. Im guessing all the back ups and restores corrupted my micro sd and i lost all the data i had. the more i messed with it the worse it got. finally had to go bone stock, ill be working on getting back to custom.

Edit: Heres the last log i got

https://paste.tinyw.in/index.php/view/52752577
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
OK, currently it will look for both. It's a non-error error :rolleyes:

I can look into seeing if there is a way to not mount/show external sdcard if you don't have one but for now it tries to mount it anyway and prints the error. You can also unselect "Mount external sdcard" and make sure you select "Using internal storage" in the Mount page.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
We are both using the same update-binary.

1. From DAGr8's Hybrid ROM

md5sum = 43693aadf46a766d1096045d0d351309 update-binary

2. From The Unofficial 2.0 Beta 4

md5sum = 43693aadf46a766d1096045d0d351309 update-binary

My Rom threw up an error about /sdcard/tmp/sideload/package.zip

but it seemed to install fine and then just sat there for a long time verifying file system but never made any progress.

Don't know if this helps at all but I figured I would report it here since I have someone reporting errors with this recovery in The Unofficial thread.

Nice work BTW
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
OK, that's interesting. I installed the ROM and got the same issue. I will work with Dees_Troy to see if he has any ideas. Thanks for your response.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
No problem. Anything else I can do to help lemme know!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
I don't know enough to know whether or not various commands have changed in your updater script. Could you verify this flappjaxxx? Otherwise I will try to look into it tonight.

EDIT:

Sorry to be more clear I mean if any of the commands in the updater script have been changed on the newer updater binary. CWM might still support older commands.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
It's erroring on

run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "--install", "-s", "/system/xbin");

Where did you get the busybox version?

Also 7zip complained about two files being the same under the notifications directory. 2 ogg files called Moonbeam.ogg and moonbeam.ogg. Trying without the busybox statement now. I removed the smallcase duplicate ogg as well. I will let you know how it goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
Are you still working on this.... I really like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flappjaxxx:
odd honestly I am not even sure if that busybox command is even necessary, I am actually almost 100% positive it isn't needed as the installer script puts busybox in /system/xbin and symlinks it properly anyway.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Yeah I have nailed it down to one line:

package_extract_dir("tmp", "/tmp")

But I am not sure what the problem is at all. The zip code from AOSP isn't throwing any LOGI errors to recovery.log and the reason it fails is simply perror() saying there is an error in the stream. So for some reason when the tmp directory is extracted from your zip it simply blows up the recovery process and won't work again until you reboot recovery.

I am boggled at the moment. I have read that for some other phones that it might be updater-binary causing issues unless compiled with specific target asm flags. I will try doing that next and report back.

OTOH, Dagr8 does the same stuff in his updater-script by extracting tmp from zip to /tmp and it works OK.

I have left the remaining dd steps out for now in updater-script until I figure out why tmp is blowing up recovery.

EDIT:

I have found a workaround. If you extract using edify each radio separately it flashes fine. I will check our edify code against CWM to see if it's out of date, but for now you can change it from the above statement to:

package_extract_file("tmp/amss.bin", "/tmp");
package_extract_file("tmp/mdm.bin", "/tmp");

I will PM flappjaxxx about this too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
OK, I found the problem. Since we are using AOSP code, we copy the zip file to /tmp/sideload/package.zip. Also the zip's are flashing 2 radio files which are about 100 MB each. There is only around 730MB free RAM in recovery for use on the RAMDISK. By the time the radios are extracted, all available filesystem space is used. This causes recovery to crash and do bad things.

I am working on not moving the zip to /tmp for the i717 and extracting from the original file location.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
I can't test until tonight, but if someone has the time please use the following recovery to see if flashing zips from storage is working. Please only people who can pull /tmp/recovery.log using adb. It is attached in this post.

OK its not working fwiw. Debugging more.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] iakeco:
Will try when I get home, and thanks for all your hard work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
OK, I forgot to make clean after changing my BoardConfig.mk file to use in place flashing of zips. Everything seems to work fine now. Will upload soon on OP.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Finagle69:
Using Goo Manager, I downloaded the latest Gapps, then told for it to wipe cache/dalvik, and flash the Gapps zip.

When it went into TWRP, the verbose mode showed cache/dalvik successfully wiped, but that the location of where the zip was stored was not found mounted. Is this a known issue? I'm on Hybrid RC4 and have not changed any settings in TWRP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
I will have to test that out myself. Sounds like an issue with OpenScript.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Finagle69:
After I tried from the GUI, I downloaded the Gapps zip and put it on my internal sdcard. When I went into TWRP, I could not get the internal sd card to show up at all. The mounted paths are unfamiliar to me also.

Typically the internal card is /sdcard, and the external is /sdcard/external_sd

When I got the external mounted in TWRP, it was under /sdc or something like that. But still no dice on the internal.

Also, the settings I set to mount the external card and such did not carry over the next time I rebooted to recovery. I had to select it again in settings.

I decided to reflash back to Touch-based CWM for the time being. But I love the idea of TWRP. It just didn't work as expected for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:
Please read the FAQ for how the mounting works. If its not working for you, please send me /tmp/recovery.log. I want to make TWRP as good as I can but I need that logfile to debug.

Make sure that you selected the appropriate storage in the Mount page and that the checkbox is selected for the appropriate mounted storage. Also dont use the Install page to browse. TWRP should change the directory automatically for you when you select the storage in the Mount page.

I thought you were using goo manager to download and install gapps. It worked for me. If you downloaded it manually to storage, then make sure that you have selected the right options in the mount page. Please let me know if I can be of any help.

There are a few theme tweaks I still want to make for the 800x1280 resolution and I am working on the md5 checking code to make it more robust. But anything else please report so I can put it on my todo list.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
This has plagued me for a looooong time. When rebooting from within the rom, or via a flashed script or an app, 99% of the time the device will never make it to startup, it inevitably crashes halfway through the boot animation.

The only way I can get mine to boot at that point, is to get out of the bootloop via a battery pull.

After flashing something, or entering recovery at all for any reason, I've made it a habit of just powering down.

But even then, from a cold boot, a notable portion of my boots dont make it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bigbiff:

I wonder if this is a Carbon issue, since there aren't that many complaints about it...
