2.8.7.2 includes old or new kernel? includes f2fs support? includes encrypted data support?

New kernel is sudden death patched?

Too many questions, but im a bit lost with too many releases.

v2.8.7.2 is like v2.8.7.1 just with fixed micro-sd

atleast it has new kernel and what do you mean with sudden death???

Hey guys I have a issue with TWRP

I had CWM before as my recovery before and had no issues whatsoever. I tried the TWRP Manager app from the Play Store and tried getting the TWRP 2.8.5.0 recovery installed from there. Well, that process almost costed me my phone since it got stuck in a recovery bootloop. Thankfully download mode still worked and i got the phone booted normally. From there i proceeded to flash the same TWRP version now using Odin. So now on my rooted 4.4.2 S3 i have TWRP, but when i wanted to make a nandroid

1. No participants were availible to select

2. I get error "failed to mount /storage"

Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] dark0shark:
I do recommend TWRP version 2.8.6.1, as this is the most stable one and used by most of the folks here.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Snipars:
Thanks. Will flash when I get the chance
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Leang Vannak:
thank you for the Zip file. I always had problem flashing img file.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Snipars:
OK so I have ver.2.8.6.0 (since I couldn't find 2.8.6.1) now and same error "unable to mount /storage" Any ideas?

You can find all versions at https://dl.twrp.me/i9300/ or with TWRP Manager App.

I'm using version 2.8.7.3 and have a problem with nandroid.

It's always ending with E: createTarFork( ) process ended with signal: 9

I tried it few times and this massage apears at different stages of the backup percentage.

How to fix this?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SdtBarbarossa:
send me a log.... this is 99% of times a corrupted file in /data partition you have to find and delete
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] matt1966:
Well, it happens indeed while backing up data.

I have no idea about a log of TWRP.

I fix this issue with going back to version 2.8.6.1

No problem with nandroid there.

Hello all,

One question. If i go in wipe and avanced wipe. Whats the different between system and data?

Is data = factory reset

And

System means i delete the complet system from my mobil?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rp158:
[MENTION=6530439]Andi17[/MENTION]:

1. Wipe system cleans system-partition, deletes ROM.

2. Wipe data cleans data-partition, deletes apps&settings =factory reset.

3. When installing new ROM or kernel, or getting strange behaviour, wipe both caches, too.

Here is the ODIN flashable TAR for TWRP 2.8.7.3

( note that version 2.8.7.0 will be shown in the recovery , the .img was build like that so i can't change that :) )

Note : In most of the cases the TAR file alone should be enough to flash it with ODIN

Cheers :highfive:

ODIN 3.10.7 Flash it as AP

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] viktor92:
I have an extremely weird problem: I'm using this recovery for a very long time and never had a single problem, but since 10 days aprox. I can't restore the backups I do. I'm testing new rom versions permanently and the process of backup and restore never failed me, but after the restore of a CM 12.1 backup, the phone never booted after the white message "Samsung Galaxy SIII", so I tried to restore the CM 13 backup made just before, and it worked (??). Yesterday I was testing last CM 13 and CM 11, and when I tried to restore CM 12.1 backup, again got a dead phone. Entered in recovery mode and restored the CM 13 backup, and now also with this one I have the same dead phone !!!. As a last resort, I've restored the CM 11 backup and it worked !!. Tried again with the other two backups but I've got a black screen. Restored again CM 11, and worked as it should...

All backups were made the same day with the same recovery (2.8.7.3), on the external micro SD and USB OTG alternatively, I really don't know what is happening...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SdtBarbarossa:
that sounds like you backed up everything except kernel... so if you restore and already have a cm13 kernel the restore will work... but if you have a cm11 kernel you can only restore cm11 backups... you know what i mean?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] viktor92:
Well, I've discovered that the TWRP backup options were EFS, Boot and Data, and NO System !!. I don't know how those checkboxes changed, but that was the problem, so pretty much what you said ! :good:

I've took the latest CM 12.1 nandroid zip, removed EFS files and "injected" the System files in it from a previous nandroid, and restore worked as before !! :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rp158:
Short advises:

1. Philz is able to make Backups in TWRP-format, too. So, if you need some old backups, convert them first.

2. Install firmware and test GPS. Maybe, your hardware is gone.

3. Root and flash TWRP 2.8.6.*. TWRP offers flashing images (in Install-submenu you find find at bottom-right a button to choose zip/img). So you can update to 2.8.7.3 easily (official 2.8.7.0 still).

4. Flash your LP- or MM-ROM and pray for working GPS.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Hatimu:
[MENTION=5040297]rp158[/MENTION]: Thanks for the quick reply :fingers-crossed: Hmm...actually there might be just one single backup I'd be keen on keeping, but I have literally no idea how to convert that particular backup into a TWRP-format :confused: I've checked all the option menus in Philz Recovery but see no such option. Would you mind explaining it to me please?

Also...so should I found out in the end that GPS isn't working even after flashing Stock JB 4.3 again, is there anything else I could still do in order to fix this issue? Or can I simply assume that I'll forever be without a working GPS on my I9300 from this point on? Or is there still hope?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rp158:
That's enough off topic, I sent you a PM
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Hatimu:
Cannot restore System -- mounted read only

So I finally managed getting GPS back working (flashing Stock JB 4.3 via Odin did the trick), and decided to go with twrp as my custom recovery. I flashed twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar via Odin at first and updated it afterwards inside the recovery itself to twrp-2.8.7.3-i9300.tar. All seemed to be working fine at start - I was able to my "nandroid" backup, and also managed to flash the custom rom of my liking. But later when I wanted to try out the restore button I realized that I'm not able to restore to any of my backups :confused: I get an error saying "Cannot restore System -- mounted read only". Did I do something wrong by not activating or turning off any of the "hidden" settings, or why am I facing this issue? Should this question already have been answered in the past, I apologize in advance for not reading about it.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rpdroky:
Yes , i used the original .IMG to make the TAR and ZIP with [MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION] 's aproval , he's the developer and he's the one who deservs all the credits together with TWRP team

[MENTION=5944448]Hatimu[/MENTION]: try to mount system manually in mount-submenu, with option at the bottom unchecked.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SdtBarbarossa:
yes thats the correct answer :)

[MENTION=5944448]Hatimu[/MENTION] you have NOT allowed modifications to your system when you was asked by twrp (at verry first start) and since a restore also modifies system you cant restore!

just go to "mount" and uncheck "mount system read-only"
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Hatimu:
[MENTION=6155853]rpdroky[/MENTION]: I ended up flashing twrp-2.8.6.1-i9300.tar via Odin first and updated that version afterwards inside the recovery itself to twrp-2.8.7.3-i9300.tar. So I ended up exactly where I wanted - no complains there :o But still thanks for the additional clarification regarding your modified *.zip file here. :good: I'll try to remember that.

[MENTION=5192335]viktor92[/MENTION]: Don't worry mate - I knew I turned to the right people here and that I'll get proper guidance :) Thanks for listening. The solution to my issue has already been explained as you can see.

[MENTION=5040297]rp158[/MENTION]: That actually worked - thank you! :fingers-crossed:

[MENTION=6248658]SdtBarbarossa[/MENTION]: I can't thank you enough :angel: This "small" modification in the "Mount" Settings indeed did the trick. I can only confirm that I'm now able to restore to any of the backups I've made. Clearly I'm still new to TWRP, so I easily tend to miss a Setting or Warning screen within the recovery itself :p But so far I like what I'm seeing, and I think I'll stick to twrp from now on. Very good job overall mate!

Btw: Hitting the "Thanks!" button at everyone after this post is being submitted.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rpdroky:
XDA forum has some file format restrictions and they doesn't alow to upload .md5 files , so the only choice i had is to add it to a ZIP file , and the TAR can be flashed directly trough ODIN without downloading older versions , and if you needed just a flashable zip that you could run inside TWRP or CWM , you whould find it a few posts behind Here

Failed Creating symlinks

I tried to flashing ArchiDroid v3.0.2 with TWRP 2.7.8.3 and then I gets notice "Failed to creating symlinks". This issue doesn't happen with TWRP 2.7.8.0. I send a log to investigate this issue
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] SdtBarbarossa:
thank you much for reporting a issue! thats important for me to find fixes :)

according to your logfile it is not a real bug... it is because of the new " keep system read only" feature! you must allow modifications so system can be mounted as read-and-write ! for that go to "Mount" and uncheck "system read only"

Most easiest way to update recovery is to use TWRP Manager app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager). If it states "Custom recovery not installed or not detected" but you are sure an older version of TWRP is installed, this message is due to SELinux modus "strict". Setting modus to "permissive" will result in successful detection. However even without detection you can select and flash current TWRP 3.0.0-0.
