hello all,

I've tested this version (2.8.1.0) of twrp i still have some problems with my exfat 64gb microsd

1st try : when i do a backup directly on the external_sd (64gb) when i browse inside twrp i see my backup folder

when i reboot to system my backup folder is gone and when i reboot again to twrp the backup folder is gone too

impossible to restore that backup folder

2nd try : when i do a backup on the internal sd everything is ok when i reboot i can see & browse my backup folder in ESexplorer

then i move that backup folder to the external_sd (64gb) and everything is ok

i can see it in twrp when i browse or do restore

with twrp 2.7.1.0 everything work like it should ;) i can read/write/browse/restore directly on the external_sd (64gb exfat)

so i'm absolutely sure there is something wrong with twrp after version 2.7.1.0 & some external_sd devices

i hope this post can help. thx to read me

PS: i use stock rom I9300XXUGND5 with stock kernel & stock modem

i use SANDISK Micro SDXC Ultra UHS-1 64Gb Class 10 exfat formatted (to use file > 4gb)

Any flashable zip of the latest version 2.8.1.0, please?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
[MENTION=5424614]b0unty[/MENTION] could you try to make a backup and then do reboot recovery (don't boot the OS). Check if your backup is there yet.

If yes, wipe cache and dalvik-cache and let the os boot up and check if the backup still got deleted.

On the S4 forum we have the same problems, that all 2.8.x.x versions delete backups made to the external sd. Maybe you can find there something useful :good:

Same problem... Confirm that you make a backup on external sd (without any problem) but really on sd there isn't nothing! I return me too to 2.7.1.0 and work good

Does anyone have a tar version of this to use please? Only the tar file on the website doesn't work with mobile Odin and my computers in the repair shop at the min so I can't use regular Odin. Much appreciated if someone could make me a tar for this. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Perka:
I sent you a tar for Odin in pm, check it and get back to me.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fbatti73:
You can flash directly the "recovery.img" inside the tar file using Mobile Odin.

Open Files ---> select the "recovery.img" file ----> Flash Firmware

Ciaooooo
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZACQ8:
simple switching of recoveries..

Who ever wants to switch the recoveries, These are dumped backups of CWM and TWRP recoveries which can be flashed using KTOOL from Marke. Just unrar/unzip any one of the recovery to get the file 'recovery.bin' and place on the SD Card root, open KTOOL and select 'Flash recovery from sdcard/recovery.bin

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ZACQ8:
what do you mean by uninstall?

just reflash your previous recovery thats all.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ducky1979:
Thanks for this, i havent tried it yet but I will do!

The img file isn't selectable inside mobile Odin? But thanks anyway!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fbatti73:
I use Mobile Odin Pro and the Recovery.img is selectable for sure and flashable. (tested) :laugh:

I tried to download using GooManager but all it said was Invalid MD5 Sum.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
It stated click here to download,after clicking the phrase nothing happen and it goes to 10 to 1 sec cycle and kept repeating.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] monkeon:
Try downloading it again

If that works I will be amazed. Not amazed at my advice, but amazed that you didn't buy an iPhone.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Ttblondey:
I get the sane message.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Next time try it on a reliable wifi connection. If goomanager still won't work, go to our website and follow the steps for a manual install.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] crazbanditz:
Okay. So what I did was download the Odin tar version and extract till I get the recovery.img and flash that via mobile odin. A minor issue is that the techerrata server keeps looping on the download page as in it has the 10 sec countdown but after 10 sec countdown the page keeps refreshing about 20 times then I get the download same with goo server. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Striatum_bdr:
No need to extract img file. Mobile Odin flashes Odin files.. So keep tar or tar.md5 files next time.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] KennyLegend:
Ok just did a nandroid and it took just 6 mins to back up everything except recovery.. Is this right for an 870Mb Sammy JB rom?

Anyone able to mount USB/OTG storage with TWRP and the i9300? Used to mount fine with Philz, but with TWRP although it appears to let me mount the device it won't let me leave the mount screen unless I click the unmount button so in essence I can't actually use it. Thanks.

twrp 2.8.2.0 exfat fix

hello [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION]

could it be possible to have the exfat update's fix for our beloved i9300 please ?

i saw a fix out for other devices :)

thank you in advance

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] lmulli:
I think its actually a question, just badly worded!! Its certainly not available from the TWRP website for this particular device at this time.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GrayJack:
Is it possible to add /data/media into twrp backup in some way? I really miss it when making full backup.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
[MENTION=4848896]GrayJack[/MENTION] where did you have that, that you can miss it?? [emoji15]

I don't know any recovery that backups/data/media (aka your sdcard)

Also think about what would happen: the first backup would backup all your sdcard (which would take allot of time if you have much storage used and it maybe it wouldn't work because of insufficient space.

But then with the second backup, you would also backup your backup and the backuped sdcard from first backup would get also backuped twice [emoji43]

So that's not possible and likely will never be implemented [emoji6]

It's possible and a feature in Philz Recovery and it's available when you have an external card so it's not impractical too.

Sure nobody says it should be performed every time - because it is really a huge backup.

But when one wants to perform ext4-f2fs conversion (oh gosh, it's another weak and sad point!) or simply make a really full nandroid backup without following downloading of cache, obb, maps etc - this feature is very useful.

Stock I9300 International on 4.3 with CF Auto root.

Installed TWPR on googleplay

And problems ...

Opened it. Taped on Install TWRP. Selected m0, then taped choose version (as Install Recovery is not active), but there is no version to choose.

So tap Home, then tap again Install TWRP and then see Install Recovery active. Tap it and nothing happens

Of course I can try with Odin PC, but now I'm afraid ...

Advices?

Installing a recovery with a Android-installer likes comfortably, but is really risky. Take Odin.

I'm late to the TWRP 2.8.1.0 party, but before I flash the latest version are there any problems with it? Anything broken?

I remember when 2.8 first released there was an issue with Nandroid backups not saving or not being found in the save location (or something like that, can't remember exactly) but has that issue been fixed now?

You can do it. I use it and 2.8.0.1 since months & found no bug.

Can someone tell me how to backup ROM on USB otg directly using twrp 2.8.3.0 as my internal and external card is both full so can I directly backup on USB otg????????????

My USB is formatted through android :confused:

??????????
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ahmed saad:
and for main reason is when we want do full wipe to device memories hence rom and zip files will be wiped also and i won't be do anything because there will be no files existed to flash,

or don't have external sd card to store put rom and other flashable files

those cases are extra reasons with your cases also.

I'm new with twrp recovery

1. is it ok not to backup data? it takes so much space and i dont really restore my backups.. only on emergency! so all that i care about is making my phone boot

2. what about compression? is that safe?

thanks and... Happy 2015!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] drgreenth:
I always use compression. Only downside is that it takes a bit longer to complete. And if you open the backup like in tibu it takes longer.

You need to backup /data as well to get working system restored.

Hey guys,

i just switched from Philz recovery to latest TWRP. But TWRP doesn't recognizes my external SD card and so i can't backup or restore to/from it. It's also not possible to mount it.

Switched back to Philz and all is working as expected. So it's not an obvious issue with my SD card.

Any ideas or solutions? I searched the thread back so March 2014 but didn't found anything helpful.

Regards

Mika
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] rp158:
Never meet this on the last 3 builds, works flawless. I switch often between ext and int SdCard.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Naveed Abbas:
First copy your data from Sd card to Pc and format it with Fat32...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mika83AC:
First thanks for you reply.

Formating in FAT32 means that my SD card won't be able to store files bigger than 4 GB any more? Thats not a good solution for a SD card ;) Is ext4 something special so that it can't / will not be implemented in TWRP, or why isn't it supported?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yeti47:
What files have you got that are bigger than 4gb?

But, if you need exfat, just install boefflas kernel and select the exfat option.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] senaferdy79:
I flashed TWRP 2.8.4.0 over Philz Recovery and the first time it was okay and success went into the recovery. but when the second time when i tried to enter the recovery, it stucked on TWRP flash, i couldn't reboot into system too. still stucked on TWRP logo.

flash another recovery through odin seems to be the only way.

Did anyone face this problem too?

how to solve it?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Mika83AC:
movies are commonly bigger than 4 GB :)

But thx for the hint with the boeffla kernel. as i'm using the kernel already its no big deal to use the exfat option. thx!

It happen to me once and reason was I wanted to install some themes for twrp using twrp manager from play store after reboot I couldn't go into recovery or system.. It was stuck in twrp logo...then only solution was to install other recovery and then boot into system then remove recovery theme for twrp and again flash twrp and never again will try to install any theme for it....other then that never had single problem with it ??
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] senaferdy79:
Yeah i was trying to change the theme, i didn't even think if it causes the problem :p

So our device can't use any theme atm? Hope they will fix it :D
