Version 2.7 errors out when breaking the /data partition into multiple files

I:createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] joaonds:
Please:

This recovery (2.6.3.1) is to all ROMs 4.4.2 and 4.3 ?

PA, CM, AOSP/AOKP, Stock based (like Dr Ketan) ?

I'm currently with Omni ROM and want to change the ROM, but do not know if I need to change the recovery too.

Could anyone help me?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] an0n981:
Your best option, read the OP of whatever ROM you want to flash
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Please upload the full log.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If you flash TWRP and have a problem please upload the log and we will try to fix it.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] joaonds:
I had problem to update to 2.7 (i could not).

I was wondering if this recovery is enabled for all roms here, because I am with him and do not want to change for now, I'm afraid of doing something wrong if i flash new recovery.

How Can I format to f2fs using TWRP?

Please help.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] an0n981:
Link coming via PM
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
You can either use devils recovery or use mkfs.f2fs in adb.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Simone:
Could you give me instructions on how to use mkfs.f2fs in adb?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I don't have the note2 anymore but I assume it would be like this:

adb shell

umount /system

umount /data

mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p16

mkfs.f2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

mount /system

mount /data

Verify the partitions for me.

whats the difference between twrp 2.7.0.0 t03g.zip, twrp 2.7.0.0 t03gduozn.zip and twrp 2.7.0.0 t03gub.zip and which one is recommended?thx a lot for such an amazing recovery
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
t03g is international.

t03gduozn is chinese with dual sim

t03gub - sadly i forgot who this is
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bahtsiz_bedevi:
LOL

Btw, with TWRP 2.6.3.2 and above I can't get adb working in recovery.

It's working fine with 2.6.3.1
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
What happens when you type adb shell?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bahtsiz_bedevi:
Nothing :) because 'adb devices' says no device is found

The problem is on the Windows side

with 2.6.3.1

with 2.7.0.0
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Try to force install the adb drivers.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Thank you [MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] for update. and info for format partitions f2fs with adb it's very helpful. Appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Simone:
How about cache? What code should I use to to format cache to F2FS? Thank you, sir.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Cache is /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] George_Orever:
Also you can use partition table app on play store to find/view partitions.

PROBLEM with version 2.7

I flashed the recovery it says failed..so i tried to redownload it..failed again...i tried to use the odin method..it passed but put me into bootloop on samsung logo..I tried it for 3x but no luck..back on 2.6.3.2.all working now
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] omdevsinh:
N7100 for many version there so which one is I download? ???

DN3 V4.1
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] steff195:
Make sure you flash the t03g one... I myself flashed t03gub or something like that and experienced the same issue as you until I did some reading here and found out that what I had downloaded and flashed was meant for another phone version, hence the issue. I, probably as you, didn't carefully check the version title and had that issue, but now all good, 2.7.0.0 on my phone now. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] kInOzAwA:
I wish the custom recovery like TWRP have the ability to use password when the first screen start or everytime reboot to TWRP recovery in the future. :)

I have made a switched back to TWRP from Philz-Touch custom recovery which having lag issues lately with their latest version of CWM6, that made aroma.fm unusable for me. Yes, i know they stated the issues come from the aroma fm itself, but with TWRP at least i can use it without the need to flash the older version of their recovery everytime i need it. I've tested out the new 2.7.0.0 TWRP version's encryption function for the nandroid backup, It's going smooth so far without any issues yet... :good:
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If TWRP cannot mount the /data partition it assumes it's encrypted and will present you the password dialogue box to decrypt it.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] d1rX:
Cannot decrypt a backup. Says password failed and I know for 100% I'm typing correct one. Nice one :/

edit: now the recovery won't accept my decryption pass

edit2: ahh, i know what happened. I used cryptfs to change my boot pass and it reverted back to PIN i typed during encryption process. All good :)

edit3: decrypting recovery still doesnt work (either pass isn't letting me restore)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Furgy:
i have a big problem...

i have installed TWRP 2.7.0.0 on my n7100 and now i am not able to wipe anything. i choose "custom" and check only Dalvik Cache to wipe, but as is start it, TWRP does a restart and nothing is wiped.

how can i fix this?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Can you upload /tmp/recovery.log after the restart happens?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Furgy:
yes - as soon as i am at home.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Furgy:
so, i did the following:

wipe -> advanced wipe -> dalvik cache -> dalvik cache wiped

wipe -> advanced wipe -> cache -> twrp stop working and put me back to the homescreen of the twrp recovery

here is the log-file:

https://paste.tinyw.in/index.php/view/37282247
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] drsiddique5700:
2.7.0.0 works like charm no issues since i m using this recovery
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
If I were use I would try to format cache by hand use mkfs.ext4 in recovery under adb shell. I think there are some flash block errors possibly that's causing the built in function we use crash.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Simone:
It's still unclear to me on how to easily flash a new ROM after converting to a Flash-Friendly File System. [emoji108]
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Furgy:
how can i do this?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] joaonds:
Please, noob question:

I have stock rom, with root.

Is possible to flash this TWRP with Mobile Odin Pro ?

If only ODIN, i check as AP, to flash ? (Odin V 3.09).

Choosing the Correct TWRP 2.7.0.0 for N7100

Hi

Going to the download table i find 3 different versions of the .ZIP file, which is the correct version to use on my N7100?

eg.

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-t03g.zip

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-t03gub.zip

openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-t03gduoszn.zip

Also in the beginning of the download Table the "N7100" was part of the file name, now it's not anymore, .....why is that?

Is the 2.7.0.0 stable?.......i have read somewhere that it may not be.

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Simone:
t03g only.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
t03gub and t03gduszn are for different devices then n7100.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
@OP

I was flashing a kernel for N7105, that works with F2FS and found a constructive comment of the dev who is building and maintaining that kernel:

You can read it entirely here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51362581&postcount=433

As I love TWRP, and would like to see it even better, I wondering if is possible to improve it using these comments, please take it as suggestions.

Thank you.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
We use blkid to determine the FS so it should work no matter what fs is used. Rebooting recovery is probably a kernel limitation on reading a new filesystem.

We are looking at some point to create a filesystem creation menu, but it's not something to do easy to do.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Thank you for your prompt response. I found someone how is implementing something like this. We could start to talk and exchange information. Please, take a look here:

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Any thought?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Since TWRP is a GPLv3 product, I recommend you asking him to submit his code additions to omnirom gerrit android_bootable_recovery where TWRP currently resides.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Well, I gonna try that.. hopefully he will do that. Thanks bigbiff.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] gondsman:
Technically speaking, he's legally obliged to do it according to the GPL license... :)

Goo manager doesn't reboot after install. You have to reboot manually and check the version.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] M3xital:
Rebooted manually also and version was 2.3.1.0, thats why i decided to flash with Mobile Odin
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dingolino:
Hi,

the same happened to me. Please let me know in more detail how you renamed it. My understanding is that Mobile Odin just can flash *.tar files. In the goomanager folder I have the openrecovery*.img file.

Is this a tar format already?

So just change from *.img to *.tar and flash in Mobile Oding in the recovery section?

Best regards,

dingolino

NTFS read only support

Hi Everyone,

on the TeamWin site FAQ it states that... You're also welcome to try NTFS, but the majority of the time, NTFS will only mount as read-only in recovery. The Linux kernel doesn't have very good NTFS support either.

http://teamw.in/exFAT

So I take this to mean that my ntfs formatted SDCARD should be visible. Unfortunately it isn't. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Reb0rn:
Think outside of the box once in a while.

Download the recovery from gokmanager app.

Rename the img file to recovery.img (its in sdcard/goomanager/)

Then mobile Odin will see it and you will be able to flash the recovery partition.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dingolino:
Thank you for the letting me know.

Many things are easy if you know "how" ;)

It works - I am now also on TWRP 2.3.1.2

Best regards,

If you guys can post a logcat regarding your problems with goo manager that would be great. I can't see anything from the server side.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dingolino:
Hi,

do you think that a logcat will help?

I have just followed the instructions downloading "openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.2-n7100.img but after a reboot into recovery I have not seen the new version just the old one.

No error was shown the update just not happened

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
AFAIK, it will increase each time because the bootloader detects TWRP. Only way to reset is to install stock recovery and kernel.

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION], t03g v2.7.0.0, if I full format /data (typing yes to confirm), it uses EXT4 mkfs even if my phone is formatted to F2fs. I'll get a log if required, just got the phone back on by manually formatting n restoring...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Yes, please provide the log so we can see why twrp thinks your fs is ext4 and not f2fs.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
Here's the log.. this happens only for a full wipe of Data - it uses the mkfs.f2fs for system and cache correctly.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Looks like a bug. It's detecting the current file system somehow as ext4. I might have to format data on my hammerhead as f2fs and see if I can test it.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] ph03n!x:
I noticed that the partition log detects the file system correctly as F2fs - is it possible that the full wipe option is picking up the FS from fstab?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
In the code, that would be here: https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/blob/android-4.4/partition.cpp#L1167

I would need to trace the code step by step to see if the wrong value is getting passed.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
I wonder if I should be able to connect and open External SD while in recovery. Anyone tried this?

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Sorry I gave a poor explanation. I tried to send files through and from my pc to the External SD while in Recovery mode. I just couldn't mount External SD to send files.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I don't have UMS enabled in TWRP because it doesn't work with internal media, or external sdcard formatted exfat in my testing in Windows.

You can try to use adb file manager or hook up a usb mass storage device to your phone via OTG.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
I tried to use through OTG however, it freezes when I select OTG. About the UMS, if my mind doesn't fail, it was working on 2.6.. for this reason I missed this option.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Hmm, I don't think I enabled UMS for any of the note2s. Do you have something plugged into the OTG adapter and USB?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Yes, it was plugged.. any thought?

I think that I get ums using a later version.. as I have other phones maybe I'm wrong..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
Try plugging it in before booting into TWRP.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Already tried.. same result :( Oh, I am using linux.. does it matter?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] bigbiff:
I'm talking about plugging a usb storage device via OTG cable to your phone's USB port. Not your computer.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] brian.houaiss:
Sorry, we're in different pages so :D I was talking about UMS.

So, if is not possible to have it working, never mind. May be in a future release you can make it available.

By the way, thank you very much for your great efforts and collaboration here. I really love TWRP.
