Replied.. DL didn't fire up. Just got a bunch of garbled kernel code, haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mista513:
Thanks I googled it and found that post about removal. Used rom toolbox and did it.

Goo just downloads the roms and lets you know of updates and will load to TWRP, but you need to perform the install swipe to start it I think...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Make sure you're rooted and look for the toast message that the flash has completed.

Fix permissions weird behavior

Hi,

I am trying the TeamWin recovery because I have it on my tablet, works great etc. -- and esp. because the CWM available in these forums for the Note II seems buggy, the Fix permissions breaks the Samsung keyboard and the S-Note app; I cannot afford that, both are essential. Fix permissions is also needed, it did save me from some nasty FCs a few times.

Now, the TWRP Fix Permissions took me back to the Teamwin splash screen, as if the recovery rebooted. It was so fast, in a split second it was done so I'm not sure id did anything. Is this normal? Very confusing...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarthPiggie:
I am also having issues with my 64 GB Sd Card. The recovery is refusing to recognize it. Clockwork, however, does recognize it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tomtomthebruin:
I originally posted this in QA section but not sure if people go there much so I figured i'll ask the question here as well:

I am trying to flash frostyjb to get rid of the bloatware but when I boot into twrp and tried to make a backup it said unable to mount data and it showed 0 mb free space

So far I have used the toolkit to root flash twrp, is there anything additional I need to do before I can flash it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You can try using goo manager to install the canadian version of TWRP after rooting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
In the past release we updated fix permissions to c++ which has substantially increased the speed of chaning permissions. The old way used a bash script which was slower.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
What filesystem do you use for the 64 GB card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Can you paste /tmp/recovery.log so I can take a look?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarthPiggie:
I formatted the Sd Card with my phone. Is there some special format that needs to be used?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
If you are using 64 GB sdcard you need to use fat32.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] badpanda:
when I tried to wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache on TWRP i get "failed" message... why﻿ is that? how can I fix that??:confused::confused:

Can't seem to change my theme...for twrp....? Placed ui.zip in the theme folder.... Please help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Place it in the internal sdcard folder under /TWRP/theme
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ejdavis:
I did but nothing changes....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
What theme are you trying to use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ejdavis:
Download from original forum... think it is called chrome...something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:

Help.... I had cmw installed and everytime I try to install regardless the method when I go into recovery it is the android system recovery. I can install cmw fine. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Install 2.6.0.1 for now. I will release the fix tonight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slice2011:
Thanks was bewildered as I thought I was doing something wrong. Thanks so much!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
I know, what I am saying is the download link took me to a web page full of millions of lines of code.

No download.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Don't worry someone else tested a fix I will be releasing soon.

Uploaded 2.6.0.3. Can someone test it before I edit OP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slice2011:
Edit: Installed that version and worked no issues, thanks (also hit the thanks button) :D for the guidance
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Is it loading quicker?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
It loads maybe a second or so faster than before, you can barely notice. It was already booting really fast before (3-4 seconds from splash screen to buttons).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slice2011:
Seems to boot at least for me faster then cmw... but my observation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] zain0300:
there is no difference at all at least not noticeable but it wasn't painfully slow anyways. Its pretty awesome thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Coming from the T989 and TWRP worked flawlessly for me with the latest CM 10.1.2. Was a great combo.

How developed is TWRP and CM for the T889? Is the combo too unstable or early in development to use as a daily driver? One more than the other?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
TWRP should be working fine for T889.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] markusf21:
Twrp runs just as well as it did on Hercules. Cm ran pretty well last time I tried it

Can I just Odin the recovery .tar? Is this phone like the T989? Or, do I have to do some things before flashing the new recovery?

On my T989, I would Odin the TWRP and then enter it. Flash my ROM and Gapps and I am off and running. Any different on the T889?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] markusf21:
You can Odin it, flash a zip, or have goo manager install it for you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
LOL ... Don't you hate when that happens. You will notice a HUGE improvement in 2.6.0.3!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
I agree with the above post. I was sticking with version 2.5.0 because it booted quickly. Version 2.6.0.3 is now also booting just as quick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Running 2.6.0.3 and ran a backup. Seems to load and backup well. I did run into a bug of sorts.

When updating CM nightly using the CM updater (like I did hundreds of times on my T989), it downloaded the ROM, rebooted into recovery, but did not install. I had to manually install it. Communication issues between CM and TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
I have this happen almost every time I update a nightly - not sure if it's TWRP or CM's problem. But yeah, really annoying, and it's random, too, you never know if it will actually update or just boot into TWRP and sit there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
When bugs happen the only way I can debug is seeing recovery . log.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
I will post one the next time I update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Here's the log from today when it failed again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
Hey just stumbling through and saw this...

It looks like the issue is with the updater. For some reason it is not able to find the zip file you are downloading. This could be caused by a few things like your SD card path or your ext SD path not matching the path being called out in the executable script (which is what it looks like).

I would try downloading the nightly, and rather than have it flash automatically, go to your SD card after it is done downloading, find it, and flash it manually from twrp.

The issue isn't twrp, though.

Hope this helps

Sent from my SM-N900T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yeah, I had that issue too. There was a bug in that nightly where it was adding an = sign in the line. You will need to update manually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Yeah, I read the log, too, I can see what's going on. The updater saves the downloaded nightly to internal storage (/storage/sdcard0/cmupdater), not the external SD card so I have no clue why TWRP is even looking on the external SD card.

---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------

That sucks. Why would every other nightly randomly have this bug, though? Updates on ClockworkMod work just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
TWRP just checks both internal and external by default. If there is an = sign randomly being inputted into the arguments passed to recovery, we don't parse it, so it doesn't work. Maybe CWM ignores it. I have only had it happen on one nightly so I am not worried.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Thanks for explaining. I don't know what CM updater is passing to TWRP, all I know is it fails with every other build on t0ltetmo. Weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
I have had good luck lately. Last five or so nightlies have downloaded and installed after rebooting into recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Yeah, I had two install just fine, then last night's failed, then today's installed just fine. Weird.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Logs please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Logs from what? I just posted the failed log. I don't have logs from the successful installs because the recovery doesn't even present a GUI - it just boots, runs the openrecovery script, and reboots.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I have not had the issue since a few days ago. Each time it fails I would like to see if it's the same issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisa887:
have a question for ya and i not sure if its related to the recovery but i think it is. i made a couple backups and i want to transfer it to my computer because it is on my internet sd cause i waiting to get external, and every time i try to transfer to computer the file size is only 8.00MB the total back up is 2.28BG, worked before when i did this, but it was also on my external sd card i had at the time. anyone know why it does this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Are you using adb to pull the files to your computer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisa887:
i think so, when i plug phone in the window pops up to go to files and i find the back up and just drag and drop to desktop but only copies 2 files which is the 8mb. debuging is checked in dev options
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
I gave you the log from the most recent failure, which was yesterday. Today's nightly installed just fine. The next time it fails, I'll post the log.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Is this using MTP in android? I just did adb pull from internal storage inside TWRP fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisa887:
Is that what it is when you plug phone in and it says mass storage at tge top? Thats what mine says and on my comouter a window oops up tonlet me see my phones files, just cant drag ir copy or cut the file if it is bigger the 8mb

Restore Issue

I've made several backups 1 stock and 2 CM10.1.2 nightlys and only the stock backup shows if i try to do a restore. I've even connected the phone to my computer and checked my internal and external storage and I cannot find the CM10.1.2 backups. The TWRP 2.6.03 folder is showing 3gb of data so i know they are there just hidden on the internal storage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You might need to move /data/media/TWRP to /data/media/0

Sorry wrong thread lol damn phone lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Just found out the =is normal. Need to look into it more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Might be an issue with your internal directory structure. Can you do a ls -l /data/media and post the results?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Why would it be a problem with the standard directory structure common to all JellyBean devices? I didn't change anything, it's whatever CyanogenMod sets up.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Looks good. I just flashed with cmupdater and it worked fine. Looking at the code we look for the first slash and copy over from that to the end, which should skip the = sign. Going back to look at your log again...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Yeah, today's nightly flashed just fine. Yesterday's failed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
When it fails, what are you guys doing in recovery? I find and flash the ROM, wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot. It seems to work perfectly.

Lately though, when the update process works on its own, it only optimizes around 30 of the 120 apps on reboot. Anyone else notice this? I usually go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, fix permissions. When it reboots, it optimizes all apps. Is CM updater sending a script to wipe cache and dalvik?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I haven't take a look at the script that cmupdater makes. I will see if it's left around tonight under /cache /recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
I'm talking specifically about the CMUpdater not performing the update automatically - when it reboots into TWRP, TWRP doesn't process the OpenRecovery script, it just sits there showing the normal UI; this happens almost every other update on my phone. I'm not talking about manually flashing the ROM; manual flash works mighty fine.

And yes, CM Updater wipes dalvik and cache, but lately I noticed it only wipes the cache for the APKs included in CM, and not for user-installed apps. Kind of makes sense, as it's the user apps do not change so do not need cache rebuilding.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I think he was referring to PA backup but I could be wrong.

Your issue is that TWRP is not removing the = sign from the input sometimes and we need to figure out what condition is causing the code path to fail.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
My has not failed in quite some time and I update every nightly. Maybe reflash TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You only need to reflash TWRP if it doesn't work from some weird flashing error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Another failure today, log attached.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Weird. Lately (past few weeks) TWRP corrupts any exFAT volume that it backs up to. This happens on both SD cards and USB sticks connected via an OTG cable. I end up with random folders appearing as files, zero-byte-length files, and when I run chkdsk on the volume on a Windows PC, it tells me there was corruption in the volume bitmap.

To test this, I ran a backup three consecutive times on two different cards and two different USB sticks, without booting into the OS at all, and each time the card was corrupted. Each time, I made a backup, took the card/USB stick out of the phone without booting into the OS, and put it in the computer to check it, and each and every time it was corrupted.

I also noticed that the last file in the backup always gets corrupted (appears as zero-byte length) and when I run chkdsk on the volume, it gets recovered and put in the FOUND.000 folder in the volume's root. I did let the phone sit there to make sure maybe it needed time to flush some kind of write cache to the card, but that didn't help.

If I format the card/USB stick to FAT32, everything is fine, and the backup completes in half the time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I might try to work on a fix tonight and see if it works for you. Do you have Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Exfat works fine for me. Can you provide the log? Also put your card into windows and run chkdsk on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
Did you read my post? I said I ran chkdsk many times.

Also, the recovery.log I posted earlier is my latest one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Sorry my brain replaced chkdsk with fsck. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour? I would also like to see recovery.log after a backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
You're basing TRWP off Cyanogen, right? I think their exFAT support is just broken - I had another discussion with madmack in the FolderMount thread about this and he said that for some reason Cyanogen does not unmount the exFAT volume cleanly resulting in data in the write buffer not being flushed to the card or something. If that's indeed the case, I'm going back to a 32GB card and FAT32. Ugh.

And I can get ODIN, yes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
We are both using the project from http://code.google.com/p/exfat/

I ported it over a while back to TWRP and cyanogenmod just recently imported the project and modified vold to use it. I haven't had any issues with either CM or TWRP yet on my 64 bit Exfat sdcard. Can you point me to the thread and maybe I can see if I can talk to madmack about it and push the bug upstream to that project. I need more information on reproduction steps that were taken etc. I backup over 3 GB from my /data and /system partitions with no issues.

Please also give dmesg and recovery.log after the backup.

EDIT

Maybe he already heard about it: http://code.google.com/p/exfat/source/list
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
I would be very curious to test with these changes before we stir up a storm - he might have just fixed it. Any way we can get a build of TWRP with these commits?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Starting to patch now...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Can you dd this to /dev/block/mmcblk0p9? It has the newer exfat commits. I was able to backup, but I never put my sdcard in my computer to see the issue you receive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gspro2000:
Anyone besides me I have latest 2.6.0.3

I tell it to wipe all but internal and ext sd and seems to not be formatting since device after I wipe 3 times all still have my data since wifis txts etc all there in new rom I install. And cant install different rom since not formating. Since I guess kernels not similar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
To get rid of that you need to format data or factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gspro2000:
So I have to format the internal SD storage too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
It's still happening. :( I'm reformatting to FAT32 and calling it a day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Factory reset doesn't remove files on internal storage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Trying to reproduce still...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] siraltus:
How many files are on your card? I noticed it happens more the more files are on the card. I have about 12,000 files on it. When I have just a few big files on it, it doesn't happen nearly as often.

I Googled around and a lot of people seem to be having similar issues on both stock and custom ROMs, and even with hard drives formatted with exFAT on Windows and Mac. I have four different microSD cards, two that I just bought (64GB and 32GB Samsung) so it can't just be a failing card.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1698672

Maybe exFAT just sucks this much, I don't know. I'm staying on FAT32 for now because it works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I was wondering if you were having trouble with both external_sdcard and otg or just otg? On my note2 I don't have any issues with my external sdcard mounted exfat. However when I tried to use OTG mounted exfat cards, the backup works and looks OK, but during a reboot I am getting:
