I reverted back to stock rom and that directory does not exist. Any advise?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
Stock but what version, coz if it's 4.2 or later as I said, this directory will be there or put them in external card/twrp/backups and see if that will help.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Pantherx12:
I didn't realise there was a stock 4.2

Back up was made whilst on stock 4.1.2 rom, I've tried putting the backup on my external card and change the restore directory to extsd but it still doesn't find it.

The back up folder has efs.4ext.win file an efs.4ext.win.md5 and text file titled recovery ( seems to just be a log)

Thanks for trying to help. :good:

*edit* turns out copying from ext to emulated storage failed.

It worked copying to data/media/twrp though.

Strange.

I've extracted the efs.4ext.win file on my desktop and it has all the folders etc there. How do I manually browse to the efs partition I'll try moving the files to there.

*edit* Found the /efs file moved everything into there and rebooted, got my imei back. but I still can't connect to networks D:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] nicesoni_ash:
If you are rooted, just put these files in /efs/.

I am not sure whether this will work but no harm in trying, don't forget to set permission for copied files.

Has there been any issues reported with 4.3 ROMs and trying to flash multiple files at once? Flashing ROM and gapps worked fine, but after the boot and set up I went to flash a few inverted apps, I got stuck at the boot animation. Flashing them one at a time works fine though. PAC-man ROM on d2vzw. Never had this happen on 4.2.2
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
The recovery is independant from the rom you use. But maybe your apps you flashed aren't designed for 4.3 yet and thus the rom doesn't work with them

L
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JRJ442:
Yes I know. But they flashed just fine one by one and the ROM booted then. Zip que flashing more than one it would get stuck every time. I'm thinking perhaps its a finicky ROM though, and just doesn't like having more than one thing stuffed in the system partition at a time
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MewCore:
Got the same problem with pacman 20.08. Maybe it's rom related?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JRJ442:
Good I'm not alone. Lol. Yeah it could be. Maybe it'll be ironed out soon if it is a ROM issue.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] MewCore:
Well I tried crDroid and got the same problem :-/ They are both 4.3 based so maybe it's that?

I tried a few 4.3 based roms and the all boot fine the first time, but get stuck at the second restart :(

Any ideas on this?

P.S. is 2.6.0.0 the latest version? I saw 2.6.0.3 for Note 2, is there an updated version for i9300?

Tnx!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JRJ442:
I haven't seen a new version pop up for us. Maybe that'll fix the problem with 4.3, until then I guess we gotta flash files other than ROM and gapps one at a time.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jwchips:
Updated to 2.6.1.0 this morning and ran a backup on system, EFS & Data so I could muck around with CSC files. Broke some stuff, ran a wipe & restore but /data/app hasn't restored properly, it has a file named FFFFF00000001.drbin and a folder named mcRegistry with some .tlbin files and a .authokcont file. What's going on here? Other stuff in /data seems to have been restored ok.

EDIT: Did some more investigating, /data was ~1.8GB but the data.win files is only ~700MB (I didn't enable compression). Lots of references to [NULL] in the log (attached). Looks like I'll be spending my Sunday re-downloading everything =[ PS had to rename the recovery.log to .txt to upload it. TWRP said the backup was successful, but something has definitely gone wrong.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Wilsse:
I would also like some information on this. Is there a way for us to either disable/update the splash that appears when booting into recovery?

I'm using the Holofied theme for TWRP and the bootloader/splash looks horrible with it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JRJ442:
You can't delete it. But I'm pretty sure it can be themed as well. But then the whole new themed recovery has to be flashed as a zip and not just the recovery image, or just putting the theme in the folder. That would require compiling the recovery for a specific device and all that. There was a guy releasing them in different colors when it first dropped. But he disappeared a long time ago. He had an all black one with a black and gray curtain. It was pretty.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] z31s1g:

When new version would be available? I discovered some bug with slim bean - after the flash first boot is ok, but when you switch off the phone and then on it wont boot anymore (stuck at galaxy s3 logo) ;( other users also reported it. I think that its still some problem with full 4.3 compatibility. It would be great if this problem could be solved - I dont want to change TWRP for anything else ;D

EDIT: same issue when flashing LiquidSmooth 2.10 4.3 version. Pleeease do sth about it...

how to take backup of application and its data thru TWRP? I have taken nandroid backup of all the options that it gives and now i want to change the ROM and only want to restore the applications & its data that i downloaded from playstore and not system apps & data. So is it possible to restore that by selecting only data in recovery? I am little confused as i have been taking app & its data backup thru Titanium Backup pro but my HTC One is S-ON and Titanium doesnt work on it.. Help would be really appreciated. Thanks..

EDIT: I did data restore and everything worked perfectly. Great! Thanks for the awesome recovery.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Kiszonyogor95:
SDS from what I know is not connected with recovery in any way... It could be a problem with compatibility of TWRP with some new 4.3 roms which many users have reported.

Tapnięte z mojego Galaxy S3
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jwchips:
Recoveries have to be patched for SDS too, because they have a kernel. The SDS fix was applied in TWRP 2.3.3.1, so as long as you run a version later than that you're fine.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] JRJ442:
Agreed. I kept getting boot loops every time with TWRP, first flash is fine. Every reboot after would get stuck. On 3 different ROMs I tried. Final straw was when I updated an app, and the phone rebooted and was permanently stuck. Had to flash CWM touch, format the SD and start over. Ugh. Been smooth as butter ever since though. I miss TWRP though, and custom themes for it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ctrl+A:
I have opened an issue on GitHub listing these issues for i9300, so that the devs definitely get to see it (as requested in the OP). #229

Fingers crossed as I really miss using this Recovery.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Hi Dees_Troy,

First off, thanks for the link, instructive !!

I have a small issue using TWRP though, I tried to flash my kernel using TWRP 2.3.1.0 and stumbled on a problem.

The kernel has an Aroma Installer, and a script generator, which is in essence a shell script that will generate a kernel configuration shell script with all the options chosen by the user.

On CWM that works flawlessly, but on TWRP it's just not working ...

I read in the OP that there might be an issue with "update-binary", could that be a possible cause ? If so, would that binary work on CWM as well (I'd not like to force users into using a specific recovery and rather have a generic installer) ?

Here's a snippet of my code and the bit in blue is what it did execute, the line in read didn't return anything and green is the first line that wasn't executed :

[COLOR="Blue"]#!/system/bin/sh
#----------------------------------------------------
# Yank555.lu - Kernel options init.d script generator
#----------------------------------------------------

script_path="/tmp/Yank555.lu/script"
script_name="init.kernel.sh"
log_file="/data/kernel-script.log"
sub_scripts_path="$script_path/sub-scripts"
props_path="/tmp/aroma"
bin_path="/tmp/Yank555.lu/bin"

# Start making the script header -----------------------------------------------------------------

$bin_path/echo "----------------------------------------------------" >$log_file
$bin_path/echo "Kernel options init.d script generator by Yank555.lu" >>$log_file
$bin_path/echo "----------------------------------------------------" >>$log_file[/COLOR]
[B][COLOR="Red"]$bin_path/date "+Script generated on %d/%m/%Y at %k:%M" >>$log_file[/COLOR][/B]
$bin_path/echo "----------------------------------------------------" >>$log_file
[COLOR="Green"]$bin_path/echo "" >>$log_file[/COLOR]
$bin_path/echo "1) Preparing init.d script header" >>$log_file
.
.
.

Any idea as to what could be the issue ?

Thanx, JP.

PS: Will test the newer update-binary in the meantime...

EDIT : -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The newer update-binary didn't help :(
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
I have never made an aroma installer myself so I really don't know that much about it. I can tell you that some aroma installs work in TWRP and some don't. I have only installed one rom with aroma -- FreeGS3 for Sprint and it worked just fine. I think it all depends on the implementation.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Well to be precise, the Aroma bit is working just fine, and the kernel is flashed correctly, but the shell script execution doesn't work :

The script starts running (since I can see the beginning of the generated script), so the update-binary bit calling the shellscript works, too, but the shell seems to have issues executing the shell script :(

So I suppost those Aroma Installer that just flash (without using a shell script) work fine, the other (using shell scripts) don't ??

If there is any kind of info, log, ... whatever that I can provide, let me know, I'd be glad to help iron that out ...

JP.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] qwerty12:
@Yank555

Your script fails to run properly because you're using the script to run those BusyBox binaries you have included in the ZIP. Your cat BusyBox binary, for example, is linked to libusbhost.so but TWRP doesn't have that library so it cannot execute under the TWRP environment.

I'd just do away with your included binaries since all custom recoveries (TWRP included) include a version of BusyBox anyway (and in TWRP's case, it's pretty recent).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yank555:
Thanks for the hint, I'll give that a try ;)

The busybox I've included is 1.20.2 (Stericson).

Will keep you posted !

Thank you Troy

I was enjoying your recovery on my Acer Iconia Tab, now on my SGS3...

Is there any option/tool to select TWRPrecovery.img to flash from downloaded location manually??

for testing, what I did was, dumped the current CWM recovery using Ktool and flashed TWRP from Goomanager, and rewritten old CWM recovery using Ktool again.

Then when I wanted to flash TWRP again its downloading again, not a big deal but can I avoid this every time downloading??

Many thanks for your great work anyway...

Su Binari

When i install a rom with your recovery after i dont have root... and it say SU binari is not installed... what can do...???
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
Su binary has nothing to do with recovery, it is provided by the Rom. You can try to install the binary with SuperSu app, sometimes it must be reinstalled.

If it didn't work search for su in recovery zip format (there is a thread at least on xda) and flash it within recovery.
