guys is it not safe to do wipes with TWRP ? i kind of understand it's brick time if i do the wipes before flashing

can someone confirm this to me ? might be very silly question
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] erickwill:
Not for me. I did a wipe right now and everything seems to be fine.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] wwwpuntoit:
ok it was on the opening post i saw not to wipe data ???
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
I already made tons of wipe (data,system,cache,dalvik) and never had any issue with TWRP.

It's 100% safe if you know what you wipe. :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] wwwpuntoit:
Ok thanks

it's this part that i dont understand in the faq :

Q. What happens if I wipe /data?

Good description also here: http://teamw.in/DataMedia

?????????????
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
/data/media isn't concerned:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] wwwpuntoit:
sorry mate it's me beiing thick

i don't understand

can i wipe cache ? wipe dalvik cahe ? wipe data partition ? can wipe everything and reset to factory status ?

about wiping data it says in faq :

Never allow your computer to format this directory in case there is a problem with mtp responder. Also NEVER wipe data under the Wipe menu unless absolutely necessary. This will remove all your files in /data/media.

what is it i cannot wipe then ?

thanks again and please be patient:laugh::laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
Cache is just "cache". After wiping this partition new files will be created. There's no real impact expect that your phone will have less performance during the new cache generation.

Wiping data partition in TWRP will erase all your user settings and apps BUT your videos, music... files will still be there.

I don't recommend you to remove any system files from your computer or manually.

Always use TWRP options to not erase dangerous things on your phone.

In other words:

- wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache : only "cache" stuff. Not important

- wipe data : user settings and apps

- wipe system : /system folder. Only needed if you flash a new rom.

=> Full Wipe (for me) is: Wipe data + dalvik cache + system. I always use the options before flashing a new rom.

- internal memory / external memory: no real reason to use these options except before selling a phone.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] wwwpuntoit:
right ok i'll give this a go straight away, still i don't understand why in FAQ it said not not wipe data unless absolutely necessary

i'm no new to flashing at all but new to flashing on note 2, i just don't want to brick it:good::highfive:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
In a normal use you don't need to wipe /data even if you have important issues or if you want to use another ROM.

Don't worry about this wipe option I use it for a while and my phone is still here. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Wiping DATA under advanced wipe will remove your internal SD card files and directories where factory reset just removes applications and application settings leaving your internal SD card intact.

Anybody succeeded in doing a full backup and restore on N7105?

Anybody succeeded in backup and restore including Android Secure?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
I have TWRP 2.6.1.0 and Wiping data under Advanced menu doesn't wipe my internal SD card files. Wiping "Internal storage" will wipe them.

To backup Android Secure use TWRP Manager app.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] mannyvinny:
Does this recovery got aroma file manager like one in PhilZ advanced CWM recovery?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ultradj83:
Could you be more precise?

I used the manager...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
In TWRP Manager app there's an option to backup Android Secure.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ultradj83:
Exactly what I've done... the result is a corrupted backup, md5 check fails and restore bricks the phone...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I will check into android secure.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
Yes it does.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] mannyvinny:
It has got inbuilt "File manager", i know..but does it has aroma file manager like that in philz coz it has got a nice gui+excellent file manager
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
The UI is the same as the other options in TWRP. An Aroma installer is just to flash roms.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] mannyvinny:
No no u didn't got me..philz has got aromafm.zip which is an excellent file explorer..maybe this link will help uhttp://d-h.st/L67
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
So the answer is no afaik but I have a custom theme.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] mannyvinny:
ok:(
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
We have a builtin filemanager for TWRP. We are not using Aroma File Manager.

After a full wipe I flashed the 09/11 nightly of PACman then I went into TWRP just to check something so I didn't do anything.

When I wanted to reboot I had the following message:

So I swiped to fix these permissions but after reboot I have another error message in Solid Explorer app:

What is it the reason? I had to flash SuperSU.zip v1.60 to enable Viper4Android XHiFi app. Is it linked to my problem?

I don't know if this is linked to the rom or recovery.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I have asked Dees_Troy. I believe he added a new supersu binary to recovery for 4.3 fixes.

should i just download the zip and flash it the normal way, i mean like a Rom in twrp...OR is there a method to update my twrp
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
This new version works very well as usual.

Only need to flash through your current custom recovery. No need to wipe or something else.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
Hi mate

I didn't try but you may have a look at AROMA Filemanager.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] primusmagestri:
I've got the goo manager and tried to install the recovery but after downloading and saying that it was installed, actually I still had the stock recovery. Also tried the zip option but it said signature failed. Any ideea?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] CRudner:
If you have Mobile Odian app, rename the img file goomanager download to "recovery" and use MO to flash it.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ultradj83:
Dears,

can anybody confirm if 2.6.3.0 can correctly backup and restore N7105?

What if Android Secure is included?

Tks!
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] primusmagestri:
Thanx, it worked. I guess the description should be modified not to mention or at least warn that those two options might not work anymore.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] CRudner:
Well the zip flashing does work as that is how I updated to the current version, so I think you just had a bad download.

But yes, goomanager doesn't seem to flash the recovery img anymore.

If you have Mobile ODIN it's no biggy though...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jarayn:
Hi, I really need some help please.

Made a backup this morning including EFS and Modem, then had a bit of a ROM testing day. At some point my signal stopped working (IMEI unknown?) so I went to restore the backup.

FAIL

The efs backup just will not restore. Simply says fail. Its the worst possible time of course since now the phone does not function.

The file efs.ext4.win is in the backup folder and is 5.1mb. If i open it in 7zip it has tons of files including a lot of name duplicates with different file sizes. I cannot extract it normally. It hangs overwriting itself.

Is there some way to fix that file or something ..or another solution.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jarayn:
hi, the only one i have is from the twrp backup folder. hope its useful

thankyou

(had to make it .txt to upload)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you pull the log from twrp after a failed restore using adb?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] jarayn:
I think I have fixed it now thanks.

Manually extracted all the files from the ext4 and pasted them all into /efs then did some random permission changing and fixing etc and eventually signal came back.

Fingers crossed it stays.

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
OK, would of been nice to see the log to see what's happening. Thanks for the update.

Nope you need to make a choice :) (TWRP :D)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
I made a backup of my phone (system, cache, boot, efs, recovery) with twrp 2.6.3.0. ut when trying to restore my rom I find all my backup partitions except (recovery partition) it doesn't appear in restore menu. any solutions. and thank you bigbiff for this awesome CWM and all your helps.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Primokorn:
Well I don't have recovery option in all my restores too but you need a functional recovery to restore. So restoring stuff that you are currently using doesn't make sens imo...

And the name of this recovery is TWRP, not CWM... :)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Thank you my friend .. And I know the recovery name is TWRP put CWM is some kind popular
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Hmm, I will look into why it doesn't show up in the restore menu.

Mobile ODIN or PC ODIN?

I would suggest using mobile ODIN.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Bert.C:
Sorry, it was PC Odin and sorted now, reboot and put phone back into download again and no problems. Best recovery I've ever used!

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Have you moved apps to sdcard?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
did you mean moved apps to ext. sdcard? answer is NO. and by the way can I flash android 4.3 rom with twrp. thanks again.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I think if you don't have any apps on sdcard you won't have android secure.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
What you mean?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I believe it's when older android versions allowed for app data to be moved to sdcard. So jellybean I think uses a normal directory structure on sdcard.

Formatting Internal Storage

Hi

First off, thanks to the OP for keep this awesome work up!

I am using CM-10.2 and the latest TWRP version on my N7105.

I wonder if is okay to format the internal storage using it, or even to use the wipes and formats that there is in there.

I read in somewhere else that it is not recommended to use those features from TWRP. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.

PS. Any update in sight?! :D Thanks!

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 PM ----------

Any though guys?

I wish to use these features, but I don't have sure that is safety.

Appreciate any constructive comment.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rob_z11:
Let me look into the log bit more to see which file it *****es about, and will see if that helps. Thanks again for excellent suggestions.

File from log appears to be from dalvik-cache, and it appears that TWRP is not clearing cache completely when I issue clear cache, dalvik-cache before I start the backup.

I:Adding file: '/data/dalvik-cache/system@framework@com.samsung.device.jar@classes.dex'... E:Error generating multiple archives

I:splitArchiveFork() process ended with ERROR=255

E:Error tarring split files!

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:28 AM ----------

So I deleted the entire Dalvik-cache in ROM since TWRP was not clearing them completely. I rebooted into recovery, and my directory size for /data was much smaller since it has no longer any files in dalvik-cache.

Here is the updated log in which it is failing when it is trying to backup or add /data/dalvik-cache into TAR. Should it backup /dalvik-cache directory?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
We don't exclude it in the backups. But if you were deleting dalvik before the backup, that's concerning. I need to look at your prior log again. Also I am not seeing your updated log.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rob_z11:
I have actually done the factory reset, and it is still doing the same. May be you are thinking that I should do ODIN installation of factory stock ROM which would completely reset.

Can you do that from recovery?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Factory reset doesn't format the data partition. You need to hit the format data button but it wipes out internal storage.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rob_z11:
Thank you thank you. Just that's what fixed it as dalvik folder was all screws up. It was triggering Android optimization for each time I reboot regardless if I clear the dalvik cache.
