I'm also having issues with Android Secure detection on 2.7.

Log now output is:

I:Processing '/sdcard'

I:Created '/sdcard' folder.

Was with 2.6:

I:Processing '/sdcard'

I:Created '/and-sec' folder.

I:Creating Android Secure: /sdcard/.android_secure

I:mount '/sdcard/.android_secure' '/and-sec' process ended with RC=0

And now the partition info for sdcard not marked "Can_Be_Backed_Up" as it was with 2.6.x:

/sdcard | /dev/block/mmcblk0p28 | Size: 11525MB Used: 265MB Free: 11259MB Backup Size: 265MB

Backup_Path: /sdcard

Backup_Name: sdcard

Backup_Display_Name: Internal SDcard

Fstab_File_System: vfat

I can not back-up or restore Android Secure from previous version.

The Time zone does not change with DST.

Using backspace when cursor is in the middle of text still deletes the last character in the editor.

That is all I came across so far, hope it can be fixed as the scrolling speed is so much better.

Thanks :good:

Well the back-up name editor is working fine now... just a glitch I guess??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] x.0ni.x:
Easiest method i found was just downloading TWRP Manager from the play store. Flashed 2.7.0.0 without any hickups. Flashed several different ROMs for a test and everything is fine so far. I'll let you know if i have any issues.

I haven't changed anything in my ROM and it works if I revert back to 2.6.3.

I:Created '/and-sec' folder.

I:Creating Android Secure: /sdcard/.android_secure

I:mount '/sdcard/.android_secure' '/and-sec' process ended with RC=0

And I get this under /sdcard on 2.7:

hey everyone. this question is a little off topic. right now i have a SGH-I337M and im trying to find the flashable wipe i used to use with my SGH-T989D through TWRP 2.5.0.0 (yes i know this is a little outdated now) i have searched all the old posts i have made because i thought i said thanks to who ever posted it but so far no luck finding the right page with the link. if anyone could redirect me to what im looking for i would be greatful

Are you talking about the dark side wipe scripts? Pretty sure they were made for Hercules only and would probably mess up your new device.

I think you are right. Is there one for 4.3?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mp3deviant721:
TWRP already works fine without the Darkside wipe scripts. You don't need them. Just make sure you are on at 2.6.1.0 or 2.7.0.0. Those recoveries will flash just about anything without an issue.

Sent from my PACman'd GS²
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Dark side wipes are out dated. Forget them. There's infamous wipes that are based on them and more up to date.

But, they are best only used when flashing touchwiz 4.1.2 ROMs. I always used them for those.

They are completely unnecessary for aosp now days. (4.2.2 and up). ;)

Edit: since I've never used this method, do you boot into twrp then install the zip, then would you wipe cache delvick. And reboot recovery or just reboot into system? Thanks

also is this compatible with 4.4.4? ive seen some ROMS recommend CWM 6.0.4.3 to install
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
You need a custom recovery already installed to flash the zip version. Not sure which app you are using, try flashify. Yes, it works with 4.4.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Spud37:
So you can install the zip though another custom recovery? I ask because right now i have an older TWRP on my S2, and the app wont install anything higher and having trouble finding the img of TWRP for this device.

Yes. You can flash that zip a few posts above and it will upgrade your recovery.

Hi, No internal or external storage after flashing 2.8.7.0. so rolled back to 2.8.6.0. Am I missing something. I'm running PA 5.1 on SGH-T989. Any clues will be highly appreciated. Best regards,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lyverbe:
Download and install the 2.8.7.1 image offered here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=61591064&postcount=1276

I was hoping it would solve the "locked" state of 2.8.6.0 once the backup is done, but it does not. Once the backup is done, the only thing I can do is reboot the phone by holding the power button for ~5 seconds. Ah well, at least, it works.

Another thing I've found is the date used for the backup folder which starts with 1969.

You have to get the tar from the twrp web site to flash through odin. The img will only flash through twrp.

Yes I know it's stupid that they went to img files from the zip files you could flash before..

I sure there are reasons however.

But if you need to from from odin.. Get the tar from the twrp website.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Anyone have the same problem, where you can't restore backups if you rename them, only if you leave the name as is. EX. "2012-23-11 12:34:34" works when you restore, but "JEDIMINDTRICK V6 FAUX 009" doesn't work when you try an restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
The ROM will have no effects on your recovery. The initial screen does not scroll. Once you touch the install button, it will go to your download folder of the SD card that's mounted. Here you can scroll. Scroll to the top to move between folders.

Re: a couple posts up of mine: I don't know if it was because my battery was at 26% or if it was because I was charging my phone... I let my phone charge a bit and unplugged the charger, tried twrp again and it worked flawlessly. For what its worth.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
Another tip for guys that get stuck at the loading screen after a restore. Mine always freezes, but I just hold power button, wait for it to turn off then back on, and it boots perfectly afterwards. So it that happens to you, don't sweat it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr. bird:
Just used this for the first time to flash a theme and its pretty f-ing cool. So far I think its a lot better than cwm. But more flashing will tell for sure
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tikay00:
What does "fix permissions" exactly do. I always include that in my cache wipes, sometimes use it twice in a single flash. Is it overkill?

TWRP 2.2.0 Won't Install?

Anyone run into and have a solution for why TWRP 2.2.0 won't install via Goo Manager or Terminal Emulator app (.img file)? I've searched this thread and many others here on xda without finding a solution.

FYI - confirmed root access --> '#'

Have tried the following 3 methods described on TeamWin's web page for our T989

http:\\www,teamw,in/project/twrp2/101

1. Download Recovery Image Method (using dd)

- saved file to both /sdcard/download & /sdcard/external_sd

- executed dd script using Terminal Emulator app (Android Terminal Emulator 1.0.44

"dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-hercules-2.2.0.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22"

Result: cannot open for read: no such file or directory

Realized actual location of file is incorrect and modified script according to either location listed above but with same result.

2. Installed Goo Manager via Play Store.

- Openend app. Tapped menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript

Result: No recoveries found for your device
