Please explain to a dumb one. How come it matters if my boot/recovery backup name has spaces? Since it works with spaces in the name on system or data backup. Has software gone dumber since my first computer [MENTION=2593486]1985[/MENTION]?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Please upload recovery.log for troubleshooting. 2.6.3.1 should work with kitkat.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Like I said, vfat and exfat don't like spaces in the name of the file.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] The_Steph:
bigbiff,

I have an issue backing up Boot, Recovery or Modem in the latest version of the ROM I use. You will find attached the recovery.log. I tried to backup each partition on their own to have more consistent information.

Thanks in advance for looking into it.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Hi, can you try changing the name of the backup?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] The_Steph:
bigbiff,

When I rename the backup, everything works fine. Reading the log I thought issue was related to the ' in the ROM name but it was strange that data and system partitions were backup properly. Anyway, this is a proper workaround.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Yeah, we need to clean up the filename passed to dd.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] batlyn:
:good:thanks for the TWRP recovery guys...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] s3ezy:
may i know the appropriate place to report problem/ bug?

there is apparently a bug when try to flash aroma-based installer custom rom. eg, in my case , there is a loop on samsung start logo (white, not blue) when trying to install dn3 v 3.1 that has aroma installer. dn3 v3 does not come with aroma so no problem. im only able to install v3.1 using other recovery. hopefully twrp will recognize the problem and try to solve it.

i really love twrp, been using it in every device i had
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I can't help with problems unless you paste recovery.log.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bahtsiz_bedevi:
Could this change your mind? https://github.com/Tasssadar/Team-Win-Recovery-Project

I'd be awesome running AOSP rom on Note2 along with stock.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I don't have the cycles to port it right now.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] davidwyl:
i cant backup using 2.6.3.1.

E:error tarring split files message come out.

read through the recovery.log found out everytime it will stopp at /data/data/com.google.android.apps.plus/cache/media/4.

tried to clear cache and clear data for google+, no luck.

tried to uninstall google+, also no luck.

tried to delete /data/data/com.google.android.apps.plus/ folder, but failed. cannot delete that folder.

any advise from master around here??:)

FYI, im running Omega v20 android 4.3. build xxueML3
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] alitaheri73:
I also have this problem.. I am on omega v20 now but I had this problem since I flashed TWRP on omega v19.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you try deleting the cache directory in terminal emulator or adb shell?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] davidwyl:
Cannot, tried using terminal.

rm failed for cache, I/O error.

Is a empty folder but can't seem to delete it.

Any way to delete this it?

Bcos this folder I can't do nandroid backup :(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You can try in TWRP:

1. unmount /data

2. run in adb shell: /sbin/e2fsck /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc.0/by-name/USERDATA and see if it fixes your i/o error. If not you might have to reformat data.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] alitaheri73:
I did format date.. and everything fine now..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] davidwyl:
can you please tell me more how to run that code line?

i went in to adb shell, and i see this in cmd.

C:\ADB>adb shell

~ # [6n

what should i type next?

EDIT: saw this msg in cmd "e2fsck: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/

by-name/USERDATA"

anything i did wrong?

*really sorry for asking, im not very familiar with coding or adb.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Go into mount page and make sure to deselect data.

Which is the latest version for n7100?

Newbie here. I have an N7100 (rooted). This thread states the latest version of TWRP is v.2.6.3.1. In the repository, I can only see the latest version for n7100 is v2.5.0.1. am I missing something? Isn't the -n7100 a product code for the device? TQ. :D

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] s3ezy:
hi, can u tell me what happened to my phone? last night i want to try on new rom, the cm11. then as usual i want to make a nandroid backup. after about 20 minutes of nandroid backup, it says it fail. one thing that catch my attention is this

"E:error opening '/data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/®/®/®".

this error persist even i swipe factory reset. then i installed cm11. the installation is ok but i got stuck at cm's bootloop. then i go back to twrp try to factory reset. however the error is still there(see log). then i try cwm try to factory reset however i got stuck in factory reset like "formatting/data" ( i dont remember exactly) i keep changing between twrp and cwm but still stuck. i got really panic thinking i might brick my phone!

and my final solution is i use pc odin to install back official rom. and i use stock recovery to factory reset. its ok now. i just want to know whats wrong
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You can always format data in the factory reset menu to format the data partition in TWRP. I will look at your recovery.log because someone else reported this issue as well and I am not sure why it can't remove that file.

Not sure why gmail is creating that file/directory structure. Next time it happens can you try clearing gmail data if it happens again?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Try techerrata instead of goo?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] s3ezy:
i dont realize com.google.android.gm is gmail. maybe next time if problem occurs i will try to clear gmail data
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] daproject:
hey guys i have a problem.

is not a problem from twrp because i tried all the different recovery and is the same.

i write here because this is my favorite and my daily recovery, maybe someone with more experience can help me.

i used twrp for a year without problem, but one day start to freeze. i tried wiping everything, including internal sd and external sd. no luck.

i tried all the different recovery and no luck. i tried different version, no luck

is really random the problem because sometime i reboot to recovery and it works straight away, some other times i need to try about 7 or 8 time to flash something.

my guess is that even when i format everything from my phone there is still a file or something remaining that is causing the problem. maybe im wrong but if this is the case, there is a way to completely delete the whole phone and install a rom again?

or if someone think on something more please let me know.

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You should dmesg and see if you are getting write/read errors to emmc.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] daproject:
sorry i dont know what is dmesg or emmc. could you explain a little bit more please?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
EMMC is your internal flash storage. dmesg is a command that shows kernel error messages.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] s3ezy:
hi this is recovery log not my phone, i help my friend to upgrade/install new rom. 4.3 which is aroma-based installer. the rom install fine but stuck at blue samsung bootloop. i know that first time boot takes a while, but this is really stuck like 40minutes at that bootloop. i go back to twrp, tried wipe and advance wipe, but still occur. so my only option is to install another rom older which is not aroma-based. i dont know why twrp sometimes have some problem with aroma installer. hopefully u can figure out what is the error.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Unfortunately the log just shows a backup of efs and modem. Can you provide the log after the rom install?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrew.mackew:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION]

First off thank you very much for the great recovery you guys maintain. I wondering if do you guys have any plain to release a major update to attend the new 4.4.2 roms such as omni or cm, where there is a few problems while I try to install though TWRP.

Appreciate your attention and feedback. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Please describe the problems you are having and provide the install logs from the rom. 2.6.3.1 should support SELINUX.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] s3ezy:
it is the log after the phone stuck at boot screen. i went to recovery and go to advance>copy log to sd. like i said before, the installation is fine but stuck at boot screen.

ps: i heard in other forum said that aroma works just fine in 2.6.3.0. ill try if its true
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If you rebooted to recovery to get the log from the boot screen, the previous log was gone with the install. You have to get it inside TWRP because the log lives in ramdisk. As soon as you leave TWRP it's gone.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] mezo91:
how to flash without trigger knox?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
TWRP cannot be flashed without tripping KNOX.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] vincentshjuan:
Once you have Knox, nothing can be flashed without tripping it.....unless you are not concern about warranty issue, which many are, then you have no issue in flashing twrp.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ssewk2x:
Any plans on f2fs support for other (non-moto-x) devices, like t0lteatt?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Are there any roms using f2fs?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ssewk2x:
Apparently the new devil kernel and recovery allow any 4.4 ROM to migrate and use it, yes. I'd like to try it out, but once you twrp, you never go back, lol, so I'll wait.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I will try to have something to test tonight.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jdstrydom:
Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] shoukanju:

Can't wait for F2FS support! Already on it, but missing twrp interface for recovery!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lontu:
While in TWRP Recovery unable to connect the (external) sdcard to PC. Is this a bug or feature is not there?

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
It should work. If you would be kind to post /tmp/recovery.log in order to debug your issue...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] lontu:
What's the process to connect the sdcard(external) to PC while in Recovery. Can anybody please explain?

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I guess I misunderstood your question. You cannot without using adb at this time.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ssewk2x:
Thanks, man! Let me know if I can help.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] erickwill:
Awesome! :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Sorry didn't get to it last night. Will upload something tonight I hope.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] erickwill:
Sounds great! No rush bud, take your time. Beyond the mentioned feature, are you planning to include something else? Thanks for the great recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrew.mackew:
Please, I would like to flash omni rom.. I cannot for now, it ways hang at the end.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I cannot debug anything until you post a log.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Do you have t0lte or ha3g? I only want to build test versions anymore for people who test. Cuts down on the complaining. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] erickwill:
hey bigbiff, yup, I have a t0lte, also an i9300. You can provide me the beta, it'll be a pleasure to collaborate testing. ;) plz, let me know if I can collaborate in anything else. Cheers
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you try http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t0lte-recovery.img.tar to test f2fs? Remember you have to use devils recovery to create the f2fs partitions.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Hello bigbiff, is this version of recovery can read f2fs partitions, or also can format partitions to f2fs. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
It will read f2fs and wipe the partition. It will not change partitions which is where you would need to use devil's recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Thank you bigbiff, so is there any plans to give TWRP the ability to format partitions as f2fs and ext file system. I really like TWRP, I don't want to change it to another recovery to format partitions.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
TWRP uses blkid to format whatever the partition is created as. There is just not an easy way to create partitions in twrp. You can format f2fs as long as the partition was created as f2fs which people are using devil's recovery for.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ticktock666:
back again after our convo on irc, I'll be re-trying with the t03g version you gave me again tomorrow, maybe I missed something

not sure if you read my messages on irc, but md5 was fine, so it's not a bad download, just not working for some reason.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If you can see if after you boot it, can you get into android and see if /proc/last_kmsg exists?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Restoring backup from an EXT4 partition to F2FS also doesn't seem to be possible. Is it related?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I feel like a broken record, I have no idea if you don't paste recovery.log... Sorry for being blunt but I get dozens of problems reported each week, but I have no idea what the problem is and how to debug it without recovery.log.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Sorry about that, I know you can't do much without a log. This was reported in the kernel thread, and I was only wondering if the reason you had said (that I quoted in my last post) and this are related, more so because the back files are named with the file system (.ext4.win...) and if such a restore will be possible to F2FS file system.

I'll get a log when I try the FS with the recovery you'd posted earlier...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ssewk2x:
Ok, seriously dumb question, but ..

Are there any significant differences between "t0lte" and "t0lteatt" that would prevent me from using the t0lte test recovery on my t0lteatt device?

I'm going to assume yes, just to be safe, but I'd love to be wrong.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Those files are tarballs. TWRP will format whatever blkid detects the partition as, then untar those files into the newly formatted filesystem.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I posted this in the ATT Note 2 forum: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t0lteatt-recovery.img.tar
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ssewk2x:
Oh, jeeze .. I guess it helps if I subscribe to the right thread, huh?

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], is there a t03g test version with f2fs support that I can test?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Hello bigbiff, I have a weird problem, Flashed ARHD 20.0 4.3, create backup for (system, boot, cache, modem), and tried to restore (kernel only) but phone freezed in galaxy note 2 logo. after that tried to restore all backup, phone boot normally, msg appear (android upgrading and counter number 1 - 236) after that i got msg (unfortunately system ui has stopped), all my apps gone. after that i flashed ARHD 20.0 again without wipe data, phone boot normally, msg appear (android upgrading and counter number 1 - 333), all my apps working great but supersu gone. what do think?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Maybe the kernel has incompatibility issues with the rom?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
I flashed devil kernel, restored stock kernel from backup but phone freeze. tried to restore full backup I got fc. Flashed rom again (dirty flash), phone work as well. What's the wrong with that. Do you think backup corrupted or TWRP doesn't compatible with 4.3 roms.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
TWRP is definitely compatible with 4.3 ROMs - both AOSP based and TouchWiz based. I have made a ton of backups and restores. Try flashing stock sammy ROM, backup and restore - maybe on a different or cleanly formatted SD Card. Also try with MD5 checksum verification turned on to ensure your backup is not getting corrupted.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I have no idea it could be anything. Hard to troubleshoot without debug logs.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Thank you [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], so how can I help you to solve this kind of problem. Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 05:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Thank you my friend, that's make me insane :crying::mad::confused:, but i will try
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
First problem I think from re-reading, is you restored stock kernel with f2fs partitions possibly? Then when you restore stock, it stil can't read f2fs. You need to convert your partitions back to ext4 probably.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ytgbg:
Hi mates.

I checked the changelog of 2.6.1.0 (I'm on the latest build by the way)

"What's new in 2.6.1.0:

Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)

Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)"

Mu question is is the f2fs fully working and can I format my internal sd card in f2fs? Because I have I f2fs custom kernel installed and If I make a backup of my current rom, format my internal sd and restore the backup my rom and internal sd should be working on f2fs theoretically?

Or my only option to do that is Devil Recovery and the process that I described is only working on Devil Recovery?

If this is yet not supported is there any chance TWRP to implement this function, because I don't want to go to Devil Recovery as I like TWRP...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Have you formatted your phone to F2FS? If yes, are you backing up and restoring with the test recovery posted by [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] couple of pages back? If am not wrong, that test recovery is for t0lte and your phone is a t03g / N7100.

If you're on F2FS and v2.6.3.1 of TWRP, it is not compatible with F2FS yet.

If you're on the stock EXT4 partition and on v2.6.3.1 then my previous post still applies. Do a restore, copy the recovery log to type SD Card, reboot and see if it works fine. If it does not work fine, post the log for bigbiff to check what is wrong.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
FSFS support in 2.6.3.1 is for MotoX, and not for the Note II version of the recovery. The test version for the t0lte variant that [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] posted a few pages ago will not create a F2FS partition (from the existing EXT4 partition, for example). It will, however, format a F2FS partition created with another recovery (like the Devil recovery) in F2FS itself. If you have a t0lte device:

Flash the test recovery posted earlier

Backup your ROM in recovery, making sure it has a F2FS enabled kernel

Flash the version of Devil recovery that has F2FS support

Format /system, /data (including the internal SD Card) with the Devil recovery in to F2FS format

Restore the backup (check if Devil recovery can restore a TWRP backup, else flash back the TWRP test version and restore the backup)

If you are restoring with TWRP, make sure you save the log after the restore is completed

Reboot the phone to see if everything works. If you encounter a problem, post the recovery log here for bigbiff to see what is wrong

If you want to revert, you will have to flash Devil recovery again, format the partitions to EXT4, and restore your TWRP backup

If your device is a t03g (N7100), we do not have a TWRP that is F2FS enabled for the device, please wait for it :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ytgbg:
Thank you very much for detailed explanation!

Unfortunately for me, my device is n7100 and I have to wait for comaptible TWRP version with F2FS support for N7100.

Have a nice day!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I uploaded http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar but I can't remember receiving feedback... I might have but I am managing a lot of threads now a days. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
I missed testing this (if it is the same from this post), for I thought it was a test version for SELinux enabled recovery, and F2FS is still not in it - will test it now, thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If not, my memory must be failing and I will try to upload a test version tonight.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
I flashed the test version from post #1134 and couldn't get it to boot into recovery - the phone will reboot to the bootloader logo and then get into a reboot loop. I tried this with a Odin flash as well as extracting the recovery.img from the tarball and flashing it with DD. Flashed back to 2.6.3.1, and am back in recovery.

Not sure if it is a bad download though, will try again.

EDIT: the file I got when I tried first was t03g-f2fs-recovery.img.tar - am now getting t03g-recovery.img.tar in the second try :?

EDIT 2: The second download too does the same - cannot boot to recovery :(
