So... did 2.3.0.x make backups that would restore properly with 2.3.1?

So... it didn't boot as expected... however, I dirty flashed the rom over top, and it seems to have come back ok...

i keep getting failed when i try to fix permissions...?and cant erase any backups...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Same here fail on fix permission
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
As one can see, permissions are partially dependent on the ROM. What ROM are you guys using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Galaxysm:
Was going to use that galaxy sbean. But right now on xtremeperia v6. Has DD.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dees_Troy:
Run fix permissions, use the copy log under advanced afterwards.

You can delete backups in Android using a file browser. Your backups will be in TWRP/BACKUPS/#device serial number#/backups are here

I got it thankyou.

Bummer :( I ran into this today.

It would be nice to show a message about how device encryption is not supported on the device rather than just saying repeatedly that the password failed and asking to try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
Well, my office backed off on device encryption requirements after discovering that some phones *erase* user storage as part of enabling device encryption. After a rather large backlash, that requirement went away.

If twrp doesn't let me flash jb but can flash ics roms all day.what could cause that? I've downgraded back to 2.2 thinking that was the issue but nothing..you think it's my phone at this point

I've never had a problem flashing any rom with this... i flashed liquidsmooth no problem....

Apparently I'm not the only one..I just wanted to know if twrp had a solution or if it was based of or phones were the problem lies
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
You sure you are not the only one? Ive flashed several JB ROMs with TWRP 2.3.1.1 with no issues. Try reflashing TWRP or redownloading the ROM.

That's what i thought... just installed the new liquid smooth 8 with no problems... but i must have a magic phone then lol....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MikeYuse0406:
I was skeptical to update to the new TWRP 2.3.1.1 because of all the negative comments I've read all over these boards. However, I gave in and updated to 2.3.1.1 from 2.2.2.0 and I must say that I regret not updating sooner. I have flashed several roms, gapps, addons, backups, restores, wipes, fix permissions. Everything works without an issue.

+1. Its awesome and reliable!

Sent from my GT-P7510 bleeding CM10 inverted awesome
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
You have to look at where the negative comments are coming from.. some guy who asks what the flashing procedure or that guy that says he should I wipe cache or not. I look for experienced members who have shown that they dont get flustered because of a bootloop or why does this not work and post that before actually trying to troubleshoot.

So with that said I flashed it way back when and read alot of the stuff others have posted but honestly 0 issues and I can only say I am sorry I did not start using TWRP recoveries more often back from my Evo days.

TWRP - for me is rock solid!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonny_sin:
I've flashed twrp multiple times same with the roms, still no go...only ics roms seem to flash properly

Does it flash JB ROM's or does it error out before they flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonny_sin:
Flashes all the wash thru like any ROM, but once I reboot all I get is bootloops

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frawggy:
I have this same issue. I've tried reinstalling twrp from goomanager several times. But when I boot into recovery, it just stares at me with a teamwin logo..

Also - I've now tried pushing it in with adb shell, still same issue.

Is there an odin flashable version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tronmech:
I think there is at least one odin flashable ClockworkMod Recovery in the forum. And there are flashable twrp zips once you've got cwm working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frawggy:
Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I have used the flashable zips posted in this thread and never had an issue. I see a lot of people say different things but I have never experienced same. Also this recovery flashes everything fine. Just use the wipes before and after flashing if you have any doubts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] frawggy:
I was able to dd cwm, it didn't work very well, but after several attempts, installed a non_stock ROM. That allowed me to dd the twrp.. Something about an incompatibility with stock ROMs I read somewhere.. Point is- I HAVE TWRP AND IT'S AWESOME!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vincent1190:
i have a small issue with this. the recover seems to boot properly whenever i use goo manager to reboot into recovery but when i power it off then use vol up n down + power button to boot into recovery it freezes at the team win screen. is it just me?

I'm currently using CWM touch recovery. Are there any advantages in this recovery over CWM? Will my CWM backups restore with TWRP?

Sent from my Samsung SGH-T989 running CM10 by TeamChopsticks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
No they are two different recoveries and not interchangeable with regards to restoring...

Advantages...hmmm flash and see how you like it. It won't hurt anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Oki:
Same issue here with the stock ROM. I injected the CWM recovery with ODIN, did a backup of the unrooted stock ROM and then I injected the TWRP. After a reboot I just got the teamwin splash screen, no menu.

Workaround: I just flashed the darkside superwipe for hercules. That solved all my issues, after that I could inject TWRP successfully with ODIN. I must say that this recovery menu is amazing. Integrated file browser, keypad, compact backups, etc.. It surpasses CWM in all aspect... all but the problem with the stock unrooted T-Mobile ROM, only CWM worked fine.

Regards

Oki
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Relsig:
I encountered hundreds of issues after using Odin on my brother's Tmo sgs2, they all cleared up after a superwipe. I did my tmo sgs2 using heimdall instead and no issues at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonny_sin:
Would there be a reason why only jb roms get the files deleted after flash.. I dl them normally, install them on the sd card, go into recovery follow the steps down to the t. After all I get is boot loops. So I load my backup. After I will go look art my files and notice the Rom I installed its now missing as the important files and only keeps the boot image. Granted only happens on jb roms ics roms flash with ease

Strangely enough, I cannot flash it using GooManager in the stock Koodo ROM on my T989D. I've currently got ClockworkMod Touch Recovery, and yes, I am rooted. GooManager was given root access, but I get the error message that no recoveries were found for my device. I know it works in a custom ROM, but in the stock ROM I get that error message.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazeecracker:
Just use goo manager lol writes it without a reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Yea goo manager is rather easy but if you have the new .img file it should not be anything more than replacing the updated recovery into a earlier flashable recovery zip(found in this thread) and making sure you rename image in zip to recovery.img.

Script is already written for you in those zips so thats not an issue.... I may be missing something but I don't think so..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pcaseiro:
What's going on with this?

I install it from goo manager, rebooted into recovery and now it won't start. I removed the battery but still nothing. The only thing that shows up is the samsung logo and then black screen.

My phone is not working... HELP!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dees_Troy:
Odin back to stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
I suggest either using odin to get another recovery on there or odin back to stock and start over. This is the one thing I have noticed about installing recovery through goo manager. Although I have never had the issue I do read about it alot. Still trying to figure out if its user error or app

Also you should always know how to help yourself in these type of cases. Before you do anything on your phone try and be knowledgeable on how to fix it or revert back in case the worse happens. It's better than asking for help and waiting for others... IMHO

Just to ease some peoples minds, I just flashed 2.3.3 from goo and successfully rebooted into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
goo has been fixed editing.

******This has been addressed as a bad upload. No issues at this time******I had the same problem with goo manager. (WITH VERSION 2.3.3.0 for the forum police) Almost passed out finally got it into Odin recovery and put a cwm recovery back on there. So yea beware other's have had the same issue. Thought I bricked my first phone. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pcaseiro:
:crying:

That's what I was afraid of. Gotta install everything back again.

I don't think is user error because we don't have any intervention with it. I just click on install recover script and wait until it is installed. Then reboot.

My guess is that goo manager is not as stable as it should.

I've installed version 2.3.1 through goo manager and never had an issue before... Just a though here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vicvon:
Same here. Odin to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Odin flash CWM. You'll be good
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
You don't have to go back to stock rom. Just flash cwm tar for our phone. You will just have the older recovery. Then you have to get whatever recovery back on there from there. That will keep your rom/data...Look into the root with odin thread and just do the cwm portion and you are good. Just did it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Ok this is my point exactly in reading up on things and taking our time... My very first line simply said odin another recovery on there but it seems like all that was noticed was odin to stock and then it took another post saying exactly what I said before you seemed happy. Either way hope it works and just slow down a little.

Also I would not make a blanket statement saying dont use goo manager I have heard of issues but there are definitely more success stories and failures I am quite sure....

Happy flashing guys

Can you see external? On the s3 it's not showing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
Be careful some people might tell you to slow down and read their posts. In all seriousness you have to boot it with the Usb plugged into the computer. What I do that seems to work is hold power/vol up/vol down and let it vibrate 4 times then release power only and it boots into the samsung warning screen. Did it 2x because I thought i messed up the goo manager...nope happened again. So yea should be ok. It is disconcerting however.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tejrl:
What did you do? Goomanager killed my phone too. Just SAMSUNG screen, then black.

I tried to ODIN, but nothing happens. ODIN refuses to recognize my phone. I don't even get a warning screen when I remove battery, then hold vol up+down and connect my phone. Arghhh, never Goomanager again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dennis96411:

To those with Telus phones, READ THAT POST. Entering download mode is different for our phones. Holding down+power did the trick!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dennis96411:
1. Take battery out.

2. Hold volume up + down.

3. Connect phone to computer.

4. While holding volume up + down, insert the battery.

5. Hold it for about 5 seconds, you should boot to ODIN mode.

I pulled the 2.3.3.0 downloads last night after I got reports of issues. I think the upload of the img file to goo must have gotten corrupted somehow. I made a new build and double-checked the md5sum of the file that got uploaded to goo to ensure that it matches and 2.3.3.0 should now be live and working in GooManager. Sorry for the problems yesterday.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
If you read the changelogs then you have seen what has been updated and if that does not entice you any then by all means don't upgrade. Its not mandatory at the moment but I do know that if you get on 4.2 at any time it would probably serve you best to update.
