why usually stuck at 99% and I have to download it from android then transfer it to windows

it is strange does windows block these kind of files or something ?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] keneth_c:
I'd faced this issue with downloads getting stuck at 99% at a cybercafe running on Windows XP. Didn't matter what was being downloaded. Was a nuisance. You know what the cybercafe did to fix this issue? Formatted all PC's and clean installed Windows 7.

Sorry for off topic.

I found the solution is to download using Firefox :D
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] keneth_c:
That's only a solution for me... Since I'm an avid Chrome user...

Apologies for off topic!

That's NOT a solution for me.... (is what I meant to say.... Grrr typo!)

Password

Hi Guys,

I need a little help.

Short question: When I restore the encrypted backups, twrp doesn't recognize the password.

I am on CM11 latest nightly and twrp2.7 and the ROM is not encrypted. Is this a known issue? Has anyone managed to encrypt backup and restore successfully, how?

A bit more history (not sure data restore issue is related or not):

I was on twrp 2.6 and CM10.2 and was backing up with encryption routinely. A few times I have restored without any problem. I was also using Online Nandroid scheduled backups.

I moved to twrp 2.7 and CM11 and continued the encrypted back ups from twrp and non-encrypted from Online Nandroid.

After switching CM11 to OMNI temporarily, the original CM11 twrp backup failed to load since twrp didn't recognize the password. I tried to load Online Nandroid backup and twrp reads all the partitions fine except data which always fail without any reason (not sure if this is related, or another known issue!).

Anyway, I formatted both data and systems partitions and re-flashed CM11 and did two test twrp backups non-encrypted and encrypted. Soon after the backup I tried to restore, the non-encrypted one loads and restores fine. The encrypted one doesn't recognize the password (I use a single character password to avoid typos).

What is going on in here? Any ideas? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] keneth_c:
Not really sure coz I dont find the need to use encrypted backups.

Either way... I'd suggest testing the same with TWRP v2.6.3 (I think it's actually v2.6.3.1) which is more reliable than v2.7.0.0 from what I have been told.

In my case... v2.7.0.0 worked perfectly when I was on a custom ROM but didn't work at all when I was on stock Sammy ROM.

v2.6.3.1 seemed to work just fine on both ROM's.

Just my 2 cents.

any update for twrp v2.7.0.3 ?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] boyheadkick:
guess we'll have to wait and see..what were the changes for 2.7.0.3?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] keneth_c:
You can check on that on the TWRP website...

Now which settings to go n how to set that fm .... Em confused...

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] z31s1g:
It should be in twrp/theme/aromafm. And you must be using the Holofied theme to use it.

The option is either on the normal settings page, or in Holofied settings (for the black, dark and light theme).

If you have trouble setting it up, come over to the Holofied thread in the themes and apps section, will get it sorted...

Trying to backup on my sgs3 with TWRP 2.7.0.0 fails every time, Just went back to 2.6.3.1 and it works fine again. 2.7 wouldn't restore a backup I had made from 2.6.3.1 either. Specifically it fails when generating an md5 straight after backing up system, It also fails at the same place if skip md5 is checked.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] keneth_c:
I'm on stock Sammy ROM and yeah 2.7.0.0 wouldn't let me do backups. Would just say Failed. Didn't try restore on 2.7.0.0 though.

But the funny thing is... 2.7.0.0 worked well for me on custom ROM like Android Revolution HD (Sammy based) and ArchiDroid (Sammy based). So I don't really know where the issue is...

Anyways I reverted back to 2.6.3.1 myself and it works great (on stock Sammy). Both backup and restore is fine.

I'd say stick with 2.6.3.1 for now.

Hey guys,

can someone tell me why i can't flash this through the latest philz touch recovery? If you need any further information let me know because I don't remember the exact error message .. :D

I want to give twrp a try because it is supported by the delta updating process of omni rom ! Never had any issues with cwm and / or philz on multiple devices in several years now.

thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] neoavi7:
Which version of philz you are on? Update to latest, delta update works on that, just disable signature verification in Philz settings.

And try to flash through ODIN.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] simplyanin:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] xe0r:
Thank you for the useful hint with signature verification (although I do not want to disable that).

I flashed the latest twrp with the APP "rashr". Very nice pice of work btw.

I have no native win OS running on any of my machines and i do not have the balls using Odin through a vm :D ( to be honest i dont like it either) and last time i wanted to give a try to Heimfall it wasn't compiled for ubuntu 14.04.

Anyway: twrp working, opendelta working, i am satisfied. :)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] andrew.mackew:
I wonder if is there OTG support in this recovery? Thanks
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] boyheadkick:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GrayJack:
What is wrong with this recovery?

According to official website:

I am using custom kernel that supports f2fs (see my signature) but anyway I cannot change fs - there is no f2fs option.

Strange "f2fs support"....

can u please update twrp 2.7.1.0 to i9305. because if we backup from twrp ver 2.7.0 all backups cant restore. it all backup partitions are corrupt. please fix this problem and seed update to i9305

I'm using 2.7.1.0 on my device (i9300) and it works like a charm.

No issues with updates...

Don't really understand what "support" you are looking for.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GrayJack:
Look at my post above.

According to the official website:

I did it actually about two weeks. No response, no comments - nothing at all!

That's what I am calling "no support".

not restore well

yes. its good idea. but some roms like AMCHA cant install correctly. because its twrp version. when it installs via twrp 2.7.0 its install all the apps and mods correctly. but 2.6 it cant install any mods.. i don't know why.. that is the main reason. can tell anybody i9300 twrp can install to i9305? because i9300 have twrp 2.7.1.0 ?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fcaronte:

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
Deleted
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fcaronte:
Ok thank but then if I want to use cm11 nightly I must mod the Rom first to flash right? Is there really advantage from f2fs?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] 9Lukas5:
First sorry, i just saw that's the s3, not s4 forum, so the link in my sig isn't usable for you.

Yes, you have to edit the roms updater-script to format and mount your system partition as f2fs.

You'll also need a kernel with f2fs support, i don't think that the cm stock kernel supports that without a mod.

And to your last question, the f2fs filesystem doesn't give you a monster speed up. You can maybe feel it a little bit and it maybe give you a bit less battery drain. But all with a maybe and only a little bit ;)

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] l33ch0r:
So trying it on a I9300 does not seem to work for me.

Telling TWRP Manager which device it is, it downloads the recovery and tells me it has been flashed successfully. If I reboot I got this stupid cyanogenmod recovery which is pretty much a stock recovery :-|

Any other way to flash it? Please don't say Odin, I'm fighting with that for an hour now because no PC neither with Kies nor Universal naked Drivers lets Odin recognize the device in Download Mode :|

this is the kind of whining and b##ching crap that makes devs turn away from XDA and developing in whole..why not just test and report, that way you can help in development rather being seen in the forum as an ungrateful self centered user

Before telling me how to live - please read previous page.

these devs have their own preferences and mind you, their own lives to live as well

boyheadkick

I never asked for something that was not announced.

But:

- and actually it is not true.

Neither contacting via official website, nor via this forum and G+ were successful.

And I love when people are laughing - laugh is very positive if it was caused by something existing in this world.But if it just exists in one's head - man, it is a serious problem. If you are a dev - please explain me "f2fs support" that was announced a version ago. If not - please laugh in some proper and safer place for you.

if you cant get the dev to reply, then maybe you shouldnt be DEMANDING from him in the first place..like i said these devs are people too, they have their own lives and preferences..and like i said, philztouch is what's written in your sig, why whine about support and bash a dev on another recovery's thread?go back to philztouch, as far as i know Phil3759 and JustArchi are far more active in the forum than dees_troy..

and yes, i am laughing at something that is existing in this world, YOU :laugh::laugh:

you are the kind of people who push devs out of XDA..you should see the rants devs throw on G+ regarding users here on XDA who keep whining and complaining about stuff that dont work or support from devs as if these users are paying devs to develop for them, you'll get a kick out of it..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] GrayJack:
So summarizing: as I said and as it is obvious from latest posts in this thread and total activity - there is no real support for TWRP.

Just trolling from schoolboys.

Today I updated my S3 using Flashify from TWRP 2.6.3.1 to 2.8.0.1. Most functions appear to be working fine, but when I try to create a backup nothing gets written to the exfat formatted 64GB External SD card of the S3. Maybe it's too late and I'm not thinking straight and I missed some obvious new setting in TWRP. After the backup process is finished TWRP says that it has successfully created a Nandroid backup on the External SD, but there is nothing there. During the backup process it displays the increasing counter of the files being written and no error messages. Backing up to the same External SD worked fine using 2.6.3.1. I also just finished creating a full Titanium backup to the same card with no issues. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] ivano949:
Sure you're looking in the right path?

Try restoring that backup, if it works you got it but failing to find...

Tapatalked....
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] tamanaco:
Ran the backup a couple times last night double checking all the settings... I'm definitely looking in the right path (folder) in the External SD Card. TWRP displays the same path on the UI during the backup process. The phone internal storage does not have enough space to hold the backup, so it's not being written there either. I also made sure that the External SD is selected in the UI before I start the process with No compression or MD5 Generation and after wiping Dalvik Cache and Cache.

I just found my USB OTG adapter and I'm currently running a backup from my S3 to a USB stick formatted FAT32. I'll post my results when the process is finished.

EDIT: Ran the backup to the USB stick and it worked... Tried it one more time to the External SD card and it failed. (Yes, there is plenty of space left on the card) See the pictures in the next post of the phone while running TWRP 2.8.0.1 while backing up to the USB Stick and while backing up to the External SD. In both cases the process finishes with a blue font message that says that the backup has finished successfully.

Not sure how I got this installed, but I tried two methods. I flashed the file posted by solar666, and also flashed via Odin, a file I got somewhere I cant remember. Both methods of flashing reported an error, though I eventually checked my TWRP version, and it showed as 2.8.0.1., so, not sure which method actually installed it, but it's working fine on my Sprint d2lte Galaxy 3 running the latest CM11 nightly.

I made a nandroid and re-installed it with no problems.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Gorkytje:
Maybe someone can help me here. Using TWRP 2.8.0.1 I am unable to fully install any rom.

I had slimkat on my phone and decided I wanted to try regular CM 11. So I wiped everything in advanced wipe so I could start fresh.

Put the Rom and Gapps on my phone then tried to flash.

However while installing CM, it just goes about its business until the progress bar hangs at updating partition details.

It also appears I cannot move files to the internal memory from the sd card.

Are my partitions messed up?

All that happens now is getting stuck at the samsung boot logo or rebooting into TWRP...

Any help?

EDIT / SOLVED: Turns out it was a problem with the SD card, changed it and all was good again. Strange cause I formatted the old one atleast a few times to be sure...
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] r25txe:
Hey man, you have stumbled across the same bug in TWRP as I did on my SII.

My symptoms are exactly the same as yours. I also formatted my SD cards in exFAT.

I had not thought of the USB OTG route for making usable backups as I don't want to revert to crappy FAT and much prefer TWRP to CWM (which works fine).
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] b0unty:
hello guyz,

same here for me with twrp 2.8.0.0 & 2.8.0.1 everything seems to work but nothing is writed on my microsd 64gb exfat formated

i reverted to 2.7.1.0 and it work perfect with that version on the microsd 64gb exfat

i hope this can be fixed in a next update ;)

have fun
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Yanmurakami:
I'm with the same problem but it's happening with my sdcard, what you did to solve it? What did you wanted to say with "change it"?

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Frag1le:
2.8.0.1 works fine here with 64gb exfat SD card. See screenshot.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Frag1le:
I probably spoke to early.

I just did a backup with 2.8.0.1 and i noticed that the folder of the last backup i made with 2.8.0.1 and the last backup i made with 2.8.0.0 are now empty. A backup folder made with 2.7.0.x still contained a backup. The 2.8.0.x folders still exist but they are completely empty in TWRP file manager and also in Total commander.

The folders are bugging the phone now when i try to open them, for example i can't go up a level inside the folders cause the folder won't load/open in TWRP file manager.

This perhaps seems to be like the same problem the others mentioned.

After deleting the empty folders my MicroSD 64gb freaked out inside TWRP, it dismounted and i lost the complete exFAT partition on the MicroSD which turned into a RAW partition. I tried rebuilding it with Testdisk in Windows but that didn't work completely, it did restore the partition but couldn't restore the file/folder structure. I tried running a chkdsk /f on the MicroSD but that didn't work. Chkdsk did find a corrupt file/folder structure but after fixing it, nothing was fixed. Testdisk's Photorec could restore all my most important files (videos of my daughter) from my MicroSD luckily.

If this happens to you, DO NOT write anything to your MicroSD, first run Testdisk (analyze) or Photorec if you want to restore any data from it.

After the file restore i slow formatted the MicroSD and flashed TWRP 2.7 back and a backup went fine and i've refilled the MicroSD with 30 GB of series/movies/music and it seems to be fine.

Now it could be that 2.8.0.x screwed my MicroSD or that my MicroSD is dying.

It did bug out on me while i was using TWRP, but this could've been a coincidence.

@ the other guys with 2.8.0.x problems, do your exFAT formatted MicroSD's still function properly?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] fcaronte:
Today I must reinstall all from 0 after a "good" backup of my cm11 (on external sd 32gb exfat) I try s5 tw Rom but when I would to restore backup I don't see any Bacup.... Yes twrp 2.8.0.1...... Now I'm again on 2.7 but I don't want to try again for now xD
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] jasi275:
I never used but please tell me when I use philz touch and cwm and wipe date/factory reset it only deletes the ROM and not my titanium backup or downloads of other downloaded stuff.

Does twrp format everything from internal storage or it let's the downloaded files remain
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] DonHuan:
A factory reset wipes data and cache (which includes dalvik cache). A factory reset will also wipe sd-ext and android_secure if your device has those items. ©

So, it won't touch your internal storage or external storage (titanium backup or downloads of other downloaded stuff).
