This is for sure to be a dumb question, but I've been looking around for a half hour and nothing: LG G2 rooted, installed TWRP app from play store, I backed up via titanium.. when I install recovery from twrp app it dl's the fliles but asks me to verify the partition is mine.. not sure how I know it is mine because nothing in the string looks familiar.

Hello all.

It is strange but I cant install latest TWRP 2 .8.0.1 on my d2att - sgs3 I-747

I've downloaded TWRP Manager, choose Install TWRP, Device Name == d2att, click Install Recovery, it shows Downloading Recovery and progress, then it warn about partition: /dev/block/mmcblk0p18, click Yes, it said " Recovery Flashed Succesfuly", I tried to reboot into recovery and finally I get my old CWM.

Also I tried to download with Chrome img and tar files with recovery and Install it via "Install Recovery from IMG file" menu - but when I click Select file I can't select it from folder where it downloaded.

Not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but since many ROMs for our devices now support f2fs fully, would it be possible for the next version of TWRP to support f2fs for our devices?

Hi,

I hope someone can give me some resolution for an issue I've been facing with TWRP for a while using USB OTG:

I have only been able of getting USB drives under 8Gb to be successfully mounted in TWRP. Any of the 16Gb and 32Gb ones cannot be mounted independently of what file format I set them up with (Fat32 with different block sizes, NTFS and ext4).

I am using an "official Samsung OTG cable" and have been successful with any of my 8Gb USB drives. This is somewhat important to me since I use my external SD card for data and OTG for flashing and backup/restore purposes. If anyone could give me some direction or resolution in regards to this it would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Thread cleaned

If you do not know how to restore your phone to stock and start over

you really shouldn't be flashing anything

If there was a problem with this recovery there would be several posts on it

Always start fresh..return to stock, download all files again, check md5 sums

Thank you for your cooperation

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know how much space is saved by enabling compression during backup?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
It saves a good bit of space but backups & restores will take FOREVER! Imop its really not worth it. It took nearly 30 mins to backup my 2.4 gig setup, even longer to restore it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
Wow! I thought I'd check into it since I have like 7 Roms backed up for quick restore on the fly so to speak,and thats not quite quickAny one with any info?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] err0r76:
Check into how zipping works - in any system the more compression you demand the longer the algorithm calculations take. That's just how it works,no way of going around it. I personally prefer to use standard compression and use USB OTG in TWRP to save the backups... I've been running into an issue with 16+ Gb usb drives (check a few posts before this one), but I find it convenient since you can easily drop the files on your PC and keep an archive of your backups. Once on the PC you can compress the zip's into smaller (more compressed) files if you have the need to...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
zipping the backup is no big deal, I have several Roms backed up with data and when I make a backup, I transfer it to a 500GB hd, being as space is not a real big deal, my major question is....when I make my backup to my SD card and then drag it to the hd, will it even do me any good to compress? Im looking for speedy transfer,not necessarily space . Does that even make sense?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] err0r76:
Well, in the end you're looking into saving your time right? If so, the amount of time you lost doing a high compression does not even compare to the time lost doing a transfer of a bigger file that is not as compressed - the first will always take longer...

I believe the high compression functionality is in TWRP mostly for people that do not have an external storage (SD card / USB OTG) solution for their backups hence needing to save space on their internal storage
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] $avage$3:
Not saying that is true, but it makes perfect sense. I bet the new s6 people are going to have to utilize that function since they did away with the sd cards.

So, when all is said and done, my absolute best bet is to do a normal backup and then take it to my hd, as speed outweighs space in my situation

Latest versions of TWRP not working on my d2att device

Can someone build TWRP based on cm11 instead of the older versions? I've tried compiling it myself but failed because the guides out there aren't specific enough for me unfortunately.

In order to get TWRP 2.7 to get working on my device, the same thing had to be done: compiling TWRP with a newer source...

More specifically, what's not working is that TWRP fails to detect any storage devices. Not the external sd card or the internal storage. It doesn't detect that an OS is installed either (which makes sense) but that basically renders it useless...

this probably shouldn't make much difference but I have 2 of these phones, both are d2can variants, but they're the same as d2att anyway..

the recovery works completely fine on one device (a slightly older one) but on the slightly newer one, it doesn't detect the storage devices

This is by far the best android recovery out there though, keep up the great work!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] twobats1:
What version are you trying to load on which phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Arunscape:
It doesn't matter which version I try on my phone, basically every version from 2.7.1 onward doesn't work on my device. (I haven't tried any builds before 2.7.1)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nirogu325:
Your symptoms are weird. Both storage options have always been available no matter which version I try. I suggest backing up both Internal and External storages, ODIN your device back to your model's latest TouchWiz, then use the stock recovery to clear data (format everything). Only then try again with TWRP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wire P. Snyder:
I have have noticed that the latest twrp seems to have trouble correctly formatting internal memory. I keep having to flash back to stock recovery do full data wipe then flash back to twrp and load my backups. Anyone else notice this or am I just Crazy. Failure to follow these steps for me results in backups force closing everything. Black screen. Only thing I can do with the restore is reboot phone. Though once I preform this extra long step of flashing stock recovery and wipe and back to twrp I can install my backups with out any problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Arunscape:
I tried that, and still the same thing happens :/

I'm still using a custom build of twrp 2.7.1 that some dev built for me (based off of what was at the time) the latest cm11 source and it works fine
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Arunscape:

Is this able to be flashed via bootloader(fastboot mode)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jswclw:
I ran into a little trouble this morning. TWRP 2.8.7 would not start. It was just stuck on the TWRP splash screen. I had a good ROM installed, and it was running just fine. Took a little while to figure out how to boot back into the ROM, but finally found that using the H/W buttons to boot into Dowload Mode, then canceling would boot normally into the ROM. Otherwise it just continued to attempt to boot into recovery, after a battery pull for example.

Once in the ROM, I used the TWRP app to install 2.8.6. It complained about that being unsuccessful, but it did start TWRP Recovery 2.8.6 successfully. This version if TWRP did not deal well with the data and cache partitions being formatted F2FS. In the end, I reformatted those 2 partitions, restored a backup, then did the ROM upgrade I originally set out to do. It all worked, but now I am not using F2FS on the cache and data partitions. I'm not particularly happy with that, but at least I have an operational phone again!

Any clues what is going on with 2.8.7. From the very beginning it was a little weird. There was this long lag on the splash screen before the interface would present. I used it like that for about a month, during the time I was using F2FS. It seems that 2.8.7 is required for F2FS support, but it seems that it has other issues.

Any ideas? It is working well for anyone? Are you able to install it successfully through the TWRP app?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
I'm not on f2fs & I've noticed the lag on splash b4 recovery starts. I've also had a similar experience once, where the recovery wouldn't boot & I had to use the hardware buttons to get out. Another issue I had was during a normal backup. Right near the end of the backup the phone rebooted into system & the backup was obviously incomplete. I notice the lag almost every time I boot recovery. I finally decided to flash the recovery over itself again & haven't had any issues arise. Still lags on splash screen now & then tho.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jswclw:
Well at this point I'm on 2.8.6 and ext4 and that's working without issue. Unfortunately 2.8.6 doesn't support f2fs. Now that I am back on ext4, I'll have to try 2.8.7, but I fear reliving this morning's ugly episode.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mikeyc601:
You can add me to the list of people that can't run TWRP 2.8.7 with data and cache partitions formatted as f2fs. I have the exact same symptoms as jswclw.

Is there anything I can do to help troubleshoot the issue? Or is there a way to get 2.8.6 running with f2fs partitions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moeburn:

Can someone please try building this with 3.0.0-0 source? I tried asking on #twrp but I got no reply.

I have installed TWRP for my I747, and now whenever i power on my phone, it goes straight to recovery mode, leaving me stuck there. Basically my phone is bricked, does anyone know how to fix this?? Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moeburn:
That's the exact problem that occurs when TWRP either wasn't flashed properly, was flashed with a semi-corrupted file, or the wrong version of TWRP was flashed. Even if you think you picked the right TWRP file (d2lte not d2att), it might have gotten corrupted along the way being transferred to your device. I'd try flashing it again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] landroid2000:
I think the problem was that when I installed the newer version of TWRP using image flash image tool in TWRP 2.8.7.0, I flashed the image into the boot partition, as well as the recovery. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moeburn:
I'm not really understanding what you mean, how the hell did you flash TWRP as your "boot partition"? Either way, if that's the case, just use TWRP itself to flash a ROM file. As long as you don't mind wiping your phone, but I'm assuming that's moot since you're installing TWRP anyway.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] landroid2000:
When installing a new image, there is an option install the .img file into the either the recovery partition or boot partition, and I accidentally clicked the boot partition. Anyways, is there a way I can flash a recovery image to the boot partition? I'm currently stuck in recovery mode, and i don't know how to install a recovery image while stuck in that. I'm pretty sure flashing a recovery .img file would fix... if only I knew how lol. Thanks for all of you help so far.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] moeburn:
Again, I'm not sure what you mean. You know the TWRP file you flashed is a "recovery image", right? In the sense that it is an image file for a replacement recovery mode. So you're in recovery, but your bootloader is also recovery. What you need to do, is in that recovery that you have working, use the "install" button to install an actual ROM image file. Whether it be stock ROM or rooted ROM or custom ROM, whatever one you want for your phone. That should work if I'm understanding your situation correctly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rtiangha:
When you flash a .IMG file in TWRP, you can choose to flash it to the boot partition or the recovery partition. The default pre-select is boot. What he's saying is that he accidentally flashed it to /boot, which is why he's boot looping to recovery.

landroid2000, try re-flashing your ROM inside TWRP. That should overwrite the boot kernel with the normal ROM kernel and let you boot normally. If that fails, then you'll need to use Odin to flash the stock Samsung ROM so that it'll restore everything back to the way it was. I guess the good news is that you're device isn't totally hooped; it's just borked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] landroid2000:
Okay. I'm going to try to reflash the ROM. Is it possible to download the ROM to my phone while in recovery? Because right now my computer doesn't recognize my phone when it's stuck in recovery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rtiangha:
Not through wireless. But do you have a Micro SD card that you can copy the ROM to? If so, you can flash it from the card.

I think I'm ready to finally make the leap to TWRP, after having used CWM (and recently CWM touch) for a few years, but have just one question holding me back that I can't find a clear answer to:

Besides nandroid backups is there anything else that TWRP isn't "CWM compatible" with? i.e. Does it support all the current CWM zips containing edify scripts, as well as the older script type (forgot what it was called)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGuru:
If it's flashable in CWM, it should work with TWRP ...

I've been using TWRP for quite a while after using CWM for a very long time. I much prefer TWRP, not only because it works so well, but the user interface is far easier to use if you have a touch-screen device.

From my own experience, all files flashable in CWM will flash equally well in TWRP.

Peter

P.S. The one thing to keep in mind, though, is the fact that backups made in CWM will not work with TWRP, and vice versa.

---------- Post added at 04:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------

One more thing ...

In an earlier post I made a comment about what I would define as a desirable feature ... screenshots. Is this possible, or would this ever be possible? As an alternative, is there a program available that would take a screenshot of my device IN RECOVERY MODE, and save/display it on my PC?

Thanks!

Hey Dees_Troy,

Question for you. I don't know much about android code so I apologize if this is stupid but I looked at the twrp log and the stock recovery log.

Twrp has /external_sdcard vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /dev/block/mmcblk1

Stock has '/sdcard' 'vfat' '/dev/block/mmcblk1p1' '/dev/block/mmcblk1' 0

Instead of

I:Internal path defined: '/data/media'

I:External path defined: '/external_sdcard'

Why wouldn't it be

I:Internal path defined: '/sdcard'

I:External path defined: '/extSdCard'

Again sorry just curious.
