No. I did a backup only to experiment something and after that I did a factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik and finally restored the backup. I don't know why es file explorer change the name of the internal sdcard and swiftkey doesn't work. All the latest restores that involved swiftkey had the same problem. Have to dirty flash the rom and reinstall swiftkey . Tried clean swiftkey cache and data, uninstall and reinstall but without success.

Thanks

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
OK, I will send you a test tonight. Can you remind me if you have t03g or t0lte?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
[MENTION=2790737]yogesh324[/MENTION] - I'm on t03g (International N7100) and am able to mount 64GB exfat Sandisk Ultra just fine in 2.7.2.2. Are you having problems mounting it?

Download the tar version, extract the recovery.img using WinRAR to your desktop.

Then download any old zip version, open it in WinRAR, drag the recovery.img you extracted earlier and drop it in this (it will replace the old version recovery.img)

Flash it like you usually do, reboot and check the version.

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] sir tge latest one I.e. 2.7.2.2 solved the issue and I m on t03g

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Hello [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION]f, I have a small issue, while trying to copy some files from ext_sdcard to otg_usb in TWRP, I found all files size is 0 kilobyte. but while trying to copy file from int_sdcard to otg_usb, file size/md5 correct.

I tried in TWRP 2.7.1.0, 2.7.2.1 and 2.7.2.2

Thanks [MENTION=4145997]Bigbi[/MENTION]if.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you tell me if it's exfat?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Are external sdcard and otg device both formatted fat32?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Yes of course, both fat32.

P.S. Is this issue can be related with kernel or it's CWM only.

Hello again [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION]

So, After some tests I confirmed that, my issue about copy from ext_sdcard to otg_usb doesn't related with TWRP, it's related with kernel. After updating Agni kernel to latest version problem solved. Now copying working very well.

Thanks [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] for brilliant recovery (TWRP)

So many problems installing rom caused boot loop in 4.4.2 if not using twrp-2.6.3.2...

Flashing using twrp-2.7.2.1 still causing boot loop for many people, any chance it will be fixed?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] vincentshjuan:
Just go to OP, and go to the official webpage, click on the top right corner for phone selection, then choose the mode of installation for upgrade.....
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Dbj.Dhaval:
Will the backup from 2.7.0.2 v work on latest version?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] andrew.mackew:
Yes, it will..

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

What I am facing, sometimes, is when flashing cm or omni rom it just doesn't boot and stuck at logo (cm or omni) screen.. in such situation, to reboot won't works at all, I need to restore a backup to have it working again. After that to flash the new version, will probably work.. if not, I need to repeat the restoration process.

Is this a rom issue or something can be done on TWRP side?

Thanks

Galaxy Note 2 N7100 w/ SlimKat 4.4.4 here.

How to substitute PhilZ with TWRP? TWRP Manager doesnt work for me: t03g not downloadable, even the img file isnt selectable.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
What steps have you taken to download the file and how are you trying to flash it?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] beautifulsun:
1) Installed TWRP Manager.

2) Install TWRP - Select t03g from menu for automatic download - Error message: t03g not available.

3) Download latest img from here - Install TWRP - Install from img - Browse for the img - img not selectable.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You will need to use the manual installation steps as twrp manager needs to be setup. I will be doing that for all my managed devices shortly.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] squicky:
F2F2 compatiblity is only partial or am I doing something wrong here? I wanted to use F2FS system so I did backup of all partitions dalvik, cache, system, data,.., internal storage. Then I tried to change file system to F2FS, but I was able to do it only for cache, system and data partitions - couldn't do it for dalvik and internal storage. Next thing I switched option in TWRP settings to use rm -rf and tried to restore my partitions so they would utilize new F2FS system. Restore process failed some time during System partition restoration. Tried it once more with the same effect. After this I unticked rm -rf option and restore everything without issues, but also without F2FS.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] NullDividere:
Hi guys,

Why is it that whenever I restore a TWRP nandroid backup, my internal SD's (not external) permission is being messed up? I already tried running the restorecon -v -R /data/media command but it did not fixed the issue? I've already tried experimenting by clean flashing the rom (omega v29) and testing the apps. All of them are working fine. But when I back it up using TWRP and then restore it, the apps cannot write to the internal SD. I even tried creating a folder using ES File Explorer but it failed. Downloads from Dolphin browser are unsuccesful. Swiftkey languages cannot be loaded. Whatsapp received images cannot be downloaded. Etc.

I've also tried installing the cwm-sdcard.Fix.Permissions.zip but still the same.

Is this a bug?

PS: I can create folder/file to the internal SD using 'My Files' or when creating it from a PC.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Each rom will format to whatever it specifies in the updater-script. You may need to check to see if it formats /system or others and change appropriately.

Dalvik is on data and doesn't have it's own filesystem. Internal Storage is on /data as well.

Can you get /tmp/recovery.log to debug after you restore the backup to debug the issue?

Want to inform you about a SE-Linux context issue
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I am using generated selinux from the CM rom. Can you tell me which rom you are experiencing this issue on?

Also are you using t03g or t0lte? Also please post recovery.log after flashing the ROM and check to see if file_contexts exists on / in TWRP.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tiwag:
I'm using t03g

File-contexts exists

Which recovery.log do you mean? I've several recovery.log files in TWRP backup folders.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I mean file_contexts in / while you are in TWRP. You can use TWRP file manager to check it out, or adb shell. You can pull recovery.log with adb pull /tmp/recovery.log while in TWRP.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tiwag:
sorry i can't provide this file.

but as you could read from the developers email,

he could produce the same bug with his Note3.

so you can test it with your device too.

just try to copy or open the file /data/media/0/TWRP/.twrps

using Root Explorer or any other rooted Filemanager.

Then you'll get "Permission denied" error until you don't correct the se-linux context using the restorecon command

su

restorecon -rv /data/media/0/TWRP

brgds, tiwag
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I have the TMobile Note 3 and don't have the issue. I am not sure why. If you could provide me the file_contexts for your rom I will look at it and see the differences.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tiwag:
sorry for my last post, but adb doesn't work while i'm in TWRP, adb doesn't see any device ???

but with filemanager it worked, as you've said.

here are the files

/tmp/receovery.log

/file_contexts

copied with TWRP filemanager

hth, tiwag

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tiwag:
OK, installed this test version and deleted the .twrps file. Then booted into recovery and changed some settings.

There is no difference in behaviour to my previous installed version.

I can access the file when using

/data/media/0/TWRP/.twrps

But no access from

/sdcard/TWRP/.twrps

or any other link which is normally associated with the internal SD.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:

WISH: confirm execution of open recovery script

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION]

I have compiled your recovery for LG G2 mini and it works very well.

Thank you for that,

Our device has unfortunately no key combination to get to recovery.

But we can get in an 'factory reset' mode. This mode uses the installed recovery to wipe data.

TWRP shows it is executing an open recovery script.

Now i would like to insert a confirmation dialog if i want to execute the openrecoveryscript/wipe. Thus we could get to recovery without wiping anything.

And i think a confirmation would be useful any way.

Hope you can understand what i mean.

Regards,

Zaaap
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you do me a favor and inside of TWRP terminal create a few files under /data/media/0. Then in android get the output of ls -lZ of the files.

It looks like the contexts are being loaded properly and it has entries for /data/media.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tiwag:
Ok, I created two files inside the twrp terminal. It's the same, context is not set.

Btw. When I execute busybox in twrp terminal, then my device reboots [emoji15]

---------- Post added at 04:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

Another issue:

When I do "Fix permissions" from TWRP then my rom is ****ed up.

Many apps can't access their files anymore and some force close....

Maybe also an issue connected with the selinux contexts?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Yeah, it's because file_contexts are not being properly used for some reason. I am trying to think what the issue could be.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You could make a runaboot.sh script in /sbin that removed the ors cache file. This gets executed before ORS looks for the install file.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you get the file sepolicy from / in the rom and upload it?

Ok

I see you are currently using f2fs. Can you try reformatting to ext4?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Zealus:
Just upgraded to the TWRP 2.7.2.0 and it stopped flashing ROMs. Then noticed that mirror had 2.7.2.1 and flashed that instead, but the problem remains. I had rooted stock 4.4.2 and was trying to flash nightly AOKP 4.4.4 with no luck. TWRP would hand for a few seconds and then flash back to the startup screen - no output window, nothing. Tried full reset, wipe Dalvik cache and all, but the problem remains. Am I doing something wrong?

Any suggestions?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] shoukanju:
Congrats bigbiff on being credited for your significant contributions to 2.8 on Android Police!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Ianchua:
I think there's a bug with TWRP. (2.7.2.1)

When I was on ext4, Everything that's got to do with AROMA zips worked

However,When I converted it to f2fs,

1.Recovery took longer to boot up

2.All AROMA zips always failed to flash(Normal zips with No AROMA scripts works fine)

Sent from my DN3 V5.2 rigged with f2fs awesomeness! Peace✌
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Zealus:
Looks like I recovered from the problem - had to do a full reformat a couple of times and the partition got recreated (just recreating /data didn't work from TWRP command line tool).

For my future reference - how do I get to recovery log and how do I preserve it in between reboots and reflashes?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I am not sure how changing the filesystem would affect aroma, but we can't support aroma. Please report the issue to the developer of aroma.

I am guessing that the boot up time is for reading the f2fs filesystem.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
2 ways:

1. Setup adb and do adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

2. Press Advanced->Copy Log to SDCard which copies the log to /sdcard/recovery.log

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] butla:
The reason I ask is that I am extremely anal about backups as I do a lot of setup that I don't want to loose so I backup in TWRP and Phil's recovery. When reflashing Phil's after a backup on V2.8 I get a message saying it is not compatible because it is a t0tletwrp instead of t0tle. If I go back to V2.7.2.1 then I can flash Phil's and do the 2nd backup. Yeah you guessed it I'm a flashaholic with OCD - but aren't we all to some degree?

I will get a log but won't be till tomorrow.
