OK, will look into it tonight.

Reupload - http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t0l3g-recovery.img.tar

Can you test? If it doesn't boot I need you to try to do these steps:

Odin flash stable recovery - uncheck reboot (don't reboot into android)

Pull Battery

Put battery back in

Use power combo to boot straight into recovery

Use adb shell to see if /proc/last_kmsg exists

If it does paste the contents to http://paste.tinyw.in and put the link in here.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Thanks for posting it. I found a typo in my BoardConfig.mk. Try http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar (had a typo in my last link you figured out)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
I'm stuck with the same symptom yet again, but this time the last_kmsg does not look like am editing a complied binary for most part, it did have some NULL characters though, and I could not paste beyond them. Here is the paste I've made from the bottom up, until I came across the NULL character - http://tinyw.in/Z5Ue

I've also attached the complete last_kmsg with this post.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Hello bigbiff, my problem still exist, 3 times try restore my backup, but didn't work. I flashed many kernels and tried to restore my stock kernel (operation success), but after phone boot older kernel still exist. I don't have any F2FS Partition. so here TWRP log. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
So I figured out it's missing sepolicy. Today I will try to figure out how to make it build into recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Unless your partition isn't writing properly for boot I would say flash a stock image via odin. I am guessing that you backed up a different kernel though.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
OK, I think I got it. Please test http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
This one booted fine the first time after flashing. It showed v2.6.3.0, showed and mounted all the partitions (/system, /data and /cache are in F2FS).

I wiped the internal sdcard and rebooted back to recovery - this time it keeps looping at the TWRP logo. I did not grab a recovery log from when I wiped internal SD Card, but I have a last_kmsg after it gets into a loop at the TWRP logo (attached).

Even if I reflash the test version, it still loops. If I flash v2.6.3.1, boot into recovery and flash back the test version, I can get into it. I have not tried anything else (like backup or restore) on the test version yet. Let me know if there is anything specific I should test (in addition to backup/ restoring the F2FS partitions)...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Thanks for testing. Next I will upload a version with Omni contexts to see if it fixes re-creating /data/media.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Not sure if it makes a difference, I'm running Ditto Note 3 which is based on Sammy MK9 build, with Devil Kernel.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Hello [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], and thanks for help. so I guess my issue about restoring my backup it's not related with TWRP. I flashed Agni kernel and backup it, phone boot without any problem, flashed Devil kernel, restart my phone and boot perfectly. restart phone again and restored Agni kernel backup, restart my phone and boot perfectly. I guess this issue related only with stock kernel. also i will try to restore my full backup and see if it work or not. please can you tell me the right way to create CWM zip form stock kernel ARHD 20.0. Thanks and I appreciate you awesome work.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I usually find another zip that flashes kernels and put the kernel I want into that zip. Problem is when you do this, you need to make sure the appropriate modules are pulled and install to /system/lib/modules.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Thanks for answer. first, I can't find modules folder on system/lib, what do you mean for (appropriate modules). second, I extracted devil kernel and replaced boot.img from ARHD Rom with devil boot.img like you said, flashed zip but phone freeze on galaxy logo. Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I am not much help in this. You might want to ask elsewhere.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tysonpr33:
How do i remove a theme?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Just delete ui.zip from the twrp theme directory.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Here's some more from my testing on the last test recovery:

The mount points (I had not mounted the EFS) -

rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,seclabel,nosuid,relatime,mode=755)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,seclabel,relatime,mode=600)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,seclabel,relatime)
selinuxfs on /sys/fs/selinux type selinuxfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 on /cache type f2fs (rw,relatime,background_gc=on,user_xattr,acl,active_logs=6)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 on /data type f2fs (rw,relatime,background_gc=on,user_xattr,acl,active_logs=6)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 on /sdcard type f2fs (rw,relatime,background_gc=on,user_xattr,acl,active_logs=6)
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /external_sdcard type exfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p13 on /system type f2fs (rw,relatime,background_gc=on,user_xattr,acl,active_logs=6)

The recovery does not seem to "remember" the settings (Time Zone, Screen Brightness, Default Storage, etc.)

When I try to backup, it errors out (have attached the recovery log). From the log-

* Backup Folder: /external_sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/4df1615b3fcb8f07/2014-02-12--06-23-39 DN3 v3.2 (Ditto Note 3)/
E:Unable to create folder: /external_sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/4df1615b3fcb8f07/2014-02-12--06-23-39 DN3 v3.2 (Ditto Note 3) (errno=13)
E:Failed to make backup folder.

The content of my TWRP folder are (My Card has about 33 GB of free space):

ls -l
__bionic_open_tzdata: couldn't find any tzdata when looking for localtime!
drwxrwxrwx root root 2014-02-07 21:37 [B]2014-02-07--20-20-53 DN3 v3.2 (Ditto Note 3)[/B]

[B]/external_sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/4df1615b3fcb8f07[/B] # ←[6n

Haven't tried wipe and restore (Have a CWM backup, but would rather backup in TWRP before attempting that)

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], just curious, won't it be easier to add F2FS support to 2.6.3.1, instead of working up from 2.6.3.0?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Don't pay attention to version numbers for incorporating changes. F2FS is part of the kernel anyway, not TWRP. I will look at your logs. Not sure why it's not keeping settings. Try resetting defaults under advanced and set them up again and see if it sticks.

For the failed backup, please try changing the name of the backup.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jdstrydom:
The backup name does most of the time cause issues if it has spaces. Not properly escaped. Good call
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Will try a backup with a different, shorter name later today. Note that the same ROM with the default name was backed up 2 or 3 days ago with 2.6.3.1 (the first of the two folders in my directory listing of the backup folder). Will keep you posted though...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Try: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] edo_xda:
Thanks, I just did.

Unfortunately failed in the same way as the 2.6.3.1. :crying:

here is /cache/recovery/log

(renamed as .txt to be able to upload it)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You flashed the file linked?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] edo_xda:
yes I flashed this one

which reported to be a 2.6.3.0 version

anyway, it did not accept my cryptfs password either.

I googled for a command line that I could use to mount /data and /system (I think these are the two encrypted partitions, right?) via adb while recovery is running, but I could not find a howto.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ren0.1:
I installed TWRP2 originally via the zip file at http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltevzw/ . What should I do with the tar file? Does it get unpacked and installed via phone "download" mode?

Also, is there anything I can do if this version is also not compatible with 4.4.2 encryption? Or do I have to reformat /data and reinstall? I only have one phone.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Is your phone Verizon issued?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ren0.1:
Yes.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
There is a verizon forum here at xda. But yes, you flash the entire tar file in Odin under PDA/AP depending on your version of Odin.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Please use the following to test encryption on 4.4: http://techerrta.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar. Do not pay attention to the version number as it's arbitrary.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] edo_xda:
Thanks - please note your URL has a typo. the correct one is

http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar

Alsop FYI the 4.4.2 decryption issue is explained here - scroll down to read kogir's comment

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/247
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ren0.1:
I was actually asking if I could flash it with fastboot. Or could you provide an installable .zip? I don't have Odin.

And am I right about the rest?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] edo_xda:
did you actually make any changes ?

it still fails to decrypt my 4.4.2 AOSP cryptfs partitions.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
The log you posted is from a build in cm making me assume it wasn't the right build. The build I posted is in Omni. Can you post the log again.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
We have flashable zips on our download sites.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] edo_xda:
yes, please find it here.

I adb pulled it again as soon as I got the failed to decrypt message in the recovery UI

I don't know why it is not showing the Failed to decrypt message in the log itself. looks like the error shown in the log is related to a script trying to set brightness.

Is this really the image you wanted me to test for 4.4.2 cryptfs ?

the post by kogir at https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/247

where it mentions the change by Google in 4.4.2 seems right on the spot of the issue.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ren0.1:
Yes, but the test build you asked me to install is just a .img in a tar archive. I can't install that from TWRP2, and I'm not clear whether I can install it with fastboot.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

Yes, this looks like the problem. I'd rather not test encryption on my phone until this issue is resolved.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
For testing I stick with Odin tars.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Either you are somehow flashing a build from November or the file isn't getting uploaded correctly. Investigating.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] edo_xda:
to test that, I just extract the img from the tar, adb push it

and then dd it to the recovery partition, as explained in the "DD Method" here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/115
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I don't know how you are flashing an old build. I deleted the file entirely and re-uploaded

http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar

-rw-r--r-- 1 bigbiff bigbiff 6707200 Feb 13 00:53 t03g-recovery.img.tar

f19fc26aac4a2caae3c540c7ac779ead t03g-recovery.img.tar

UTC time of course on the server.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] edo_xda:
I untarred the image, then

adb push recovery.img /storage/sdcard1

adb root

adb shell

cd /storage/sdcard1

dd if=recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9

exit

adb reboot recovery

This time rather than pulling /cache/recovery/log

I used TWRP copy log to SD, which ended placing the recovery.log in /tmp as /data/media does not exist.

I adb pulled it and here it is (renamed to .txt to be able to upload).

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
TWRP takes care of it internally by deleting all files with rm -rf except in /data/media when you select wipe data.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You should be able to use goo manager to update. I have posted the canadian version on goo and techerrata.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] t3chw00di:
I tried using goo manager and it reported that it downloaded and installed TWRP for t0ltecan, but when I rebooted into recovery it was still cwm, so I dunno what's up with that.

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 PM ----------

Downloaded twrp from techerrata and flashed it with cwm. It works now. Thanks much.

Went to make a nandroid backup on my external sd and it couldn't mount the external sd. I'm thinking that maybe it's formatted in exFat. I just left it the way it came.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Lister_Oprawca:
TWRP works now only on Fat32
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] StelardActek:
I'm unable to download for t0lte either.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Magic2009:
I'm having the same issue, I've tried everything thats been written and still cant get it to work on my int gt-n7100!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Sorry, I fixed it in goo manager. I will be uploaded 2.3.1.2 shortly with fixed kernel to shorten boot time.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] StelardActek:
I just tried to install 2.3.1.2 on my N7105. GooManager downloaded it, and was granted root permissions. But when I tried to boot into recovery, I got the standard android recovery. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: In the end, I downloaded the t0lte version from goo.im and used dd to write it to the RECOVERY partition. Seems to work. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Did you get the flash successful toast message?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Magic2009:
I just tried downloading 2.3.1.2 from goo manager and got version 2.3.1.1 on my handset, said it installed but after rebooting into recovery only the CF auto root recovery was there still??
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Thanks for the heads up. It should work now. If it doesn't please let me know.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Magic2009:
HI - it downloaded and is currently on my handset in the goo manager folder but didnt install, is that because I managed to eventually get 2.3.1.1 installed using mobile odin?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Make sure you didn't deny root privileges to goo manager. Check in your Superuser or Supersu app.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] M3xital:
Downloaded with GooManager but device didn't reboot to install (Root privileges granted in SuperSu). Grabbed file from GooManager folder rename it and flashed with Mobile Odin,now everything OK.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
OK, I realized I forgot to update a build flag. http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t03g-recovery.img.tar

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ren0.1:
Would you mind building a new recovery image? I went to install the latest Omni nightly before testing encryption, and discovered that the 't0lte' recovery breaks the ability to install t0ltevzw zips. (platform mismatch)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
I flashed this version to test now. Here is what I have:

If I wipe internal SD Card and reboot to recovery using TWRP menu, I will be in a loop with the TWRP logo loading, disappearing for a second, reappearing and so on. (Already reported for an earlier test version)

Backing up to the External SD Card or Internal SD fails (Partially reported earlier for an earlier test version)

This time, I did a bit more digging on the backup not working issue.

Backing up fails to the Internal SD Card or the External SD Card

It fails irrespective of the backup name. I tries with just the date (20140213) or a short word (Test) - It failed both times

I tried copying the log file from /tmp/recovery.log to both the SD Cards using the built-in file manager, and it failed both the times

I can read from the SD Cards though, I can flash another recovery from them

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] TWRP is not having write access to the SD Cards, gives out a permission denied. I have attached a log with all this.

I'm really interested in knowing what you did to enable encryption in 4.4.2. I've spent hours trying to sort this out without having to build it from scratch, but it looks like that may be inevitable. I'm on a d2tmo S3 and have just been repacking the latest published recovery. I was able to manually decrypt and mount /data in PhilZ CWM in order to flash zips and make backups, but far prefer using TWRP.

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] - let us know when you are ready with the next test version :)

Is there anything specific you are looking for? f2fs?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Yep - I had posted my most recent feedback on post #1184. In short, I am not able to backup with the F2fs enabled recovery, so couldn't test anything much other than that the recovery mounts F2fs partitions. Also there is the prob of the recovery going into a loop if I reboot after wiping internal SD...

Thanks for the recap, it's hard keeping up with 20 threads. Can you do me a favor in TWRP: adb shell getenforce and paste the output?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
It says Enforcing. Note that I have a custom kernel, and have disabled SELinux...

Are you able to come on irc? I would like to try something tonight.

Also in android can you do adb shell getprop ro.hardware and paste the results?
