Yes! Finally it's working! Can mount sdcard and otg.

You're the best! bigbiff. Feeling confident with twrp teams.

Thank you for your times and all the hard work! :)

Recovery log attached.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Thanks for testing, uploaded 3.0.0-1 with the fixes to twrp.me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ringochan:
Thank you for the new release (3.0.2-0)!

Just to let you know, I received a weird error message from the TWRP Manager app saying that installation failed, but upon rebooting into recovery, I saw that my phone was indeed updated to 3.0.2-0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You will need to report that to the application dev, TeamWin does not own the product.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ringochan:
Oh, I see! Somehow, I knew that fact but didn't think much before posting that message:(

I have a suggestion for the team, though. I have lots of money in Google Playstore credit (from answering their surveys:)) that I want to use to donate to you guys. I believe there are many people here who would, too. Would you be able to create a "token" paid app and post it on the Playstore so that people without Paypal account can easily donate to you guys?

Thank you again for the great recovery!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
We might be creating a full fledged application soon. To be honest, not sure how long it will take.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] O's:
Anyone know why Restore packages wouldn't appear in the Restore section when I can see all the proper files? Does a different phone (same model) make a difference?

Backstory:

Was running 2.8.6. Installed Eclipse ROM. Make a few different backups on SD. Then the phone screen broke. Had to get another T889. Got the replacement, rooted the stock ROM, installed 2.8.6 again, and now the backup packages don't appear in the Restore list, even after setting Storage to External SDCard. But I can use TWRP File Manager to locate the backups, in the same spot they always were, and I can see the individual files inside each backup. They're all where they should be. Why can't I restore them? Why aren't they in the Restore list? Is there another way to restore them? Does the different phone matter? Thanks, anyone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlepp81:
I don't know if this is the rite section I or if I'm allowed to post questions on here.

I just updated my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 sm-n910w8 to 6.0.1 and I can't figure out how to flash twrp if my life depended on it I'm trying to root my phone I downloaded latest super Su on my phone to flash with twrp but I can't find any articles on google hot to root this model... Marshmallow Updated just came out yesterday so is it possibly to new?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlkjuggalo:
I would search & ask in the note 4 forums this is for note 2 :) Also if you can find the twrp recovery tar for your phone on twrp website you can flash it with Odin then flash the root files for your phone with twrp other than that I would still ask in note 4 section just in case you have to do something else so you don't brick your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mlkjuggalo:
Will we be getting TWRP 3.1.0.0 ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
/tmp is still empty and it will not allow me to save anything while in recovery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
That screenshot is from android showing a tmp directory under /sdcard. I am looking for /tmp/recovery.log generated in TWRP, while still booted.

While booted in twrp use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and paste it on paste.tinyw.in please.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Sorry I wasn't sure how to access it. I've attached a log file, hope someone can help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Please update to 2.3.2.3 from here: http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/t0ltespr
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Thanks for the reply. Updated to 2.3.2.3 but still have the same issues. Uploaded another log.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Are you able to see /data inside android?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
Yes. Would it hurt anything to flash stock and root again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] gaww:
I was going to suggest that. When other things failed for me, I ODINed rooted stock and this recovery and was back in business.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
If you can't see it in android, your /data partition got corrupted. I think I read somewhere that Odin can fix it without PIT files in the newest version.

YMMV
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
Hey I was so happy that you guys decided to support the note2 I had it on my t989 and it kicked ass. Just one question though I noticed that I cant mount my usb storage when in recovery. Is this not going to be put I. For the note 2? It was in the t989

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
I did a EFS backup. It was showing that is 4 MB (why so small?) and

after the backup, it says "successful", but also said "0 MB backed up".

Soooo...what's up with that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Please see http://teamw.in/DataMedia for details. For those interested at some point I want to work on implementing a mtp responder.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mojorisin7178:
My efs backup is also 4mb so it sounds right
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Efs is a small partition.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
Yes, I get that...however, at the end of my small statement, you can read this:

it says "successful", but also said "0 MB backed up".

Nobody answered WHY is "0 MB backed up".

To me, it looks like we DON'T have a backup at all and what we're gon'a

do when we need it?

EDIT: In the TOOLKIT V2.0 TMOBILE the EFS backup shows 20MB...that is a big difference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] k1ng617:
If I use Mobile Odin can I just place the tar file in the recovery section and flash it? Do I need to click anything else off such as wipe dalvik?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
That's because it takes a binary image of the entire partition. Twrp backups only the files and recreates the file system when you restore the files. The tar of the files is very small. There probably is a round error stating 0 mb. I will have to look into it.

Just looked into it. Samsung gave the EFS partition 20 MBs, however the files tarred up only are like 40KB. Since the backup size is rounded at the MB level, you see it get rounded down to 0 MB. I can add an if statement that uses a KB calculation if the size is under 1 MB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
Cool, just learned twrp supports ext4 which is great. Any plans for NTFS also?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] MCRHAZ:

I can't even reboot after finishing a backup, need to do a battery pull. Unless hard reboot means battery pull, in this case you can ignore my post.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
nandroids are for weenies and little girls.

lol just kidding man.

are you running 2.3.3.3? that version has been flawless for me personally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] e-motion:
Yes, running 2.3.3.3 on SGH-T889. However it might be because my backup is almost 5GB and I'm just not patient enough for the MD5 to be generated. I pull the plug after waiting for over 20 minutes...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
That's a big back up yo...

Honestly I haven't tried to make a backup yet so I have no comment on that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slamindamalibu:
where are you finding 2.3.3.3?

alright i found it...sorry
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Sorry guys but I need you to pull /tmp/recovery.log to help.

Please, please do this because I cannot help without the logfile.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
hey biff, if i am understanding correctly, people are having issues with making backups? i have been using 2.3.3.3 for a good 2 weeks now with absolutely no issues. but if there is something i can do to provide some data, tell me. happy to help.

from what i have read thus far, creating data (or any?) backups is causing recovery to lock up? i haven't made a data backup yet with this version of recovery so i can't really verify, but if you need some info let me know. i'd be happy to run a backup and pull the appropriate log file to diagnose.

lmk

been using twrp since the evo 3D. the 1.1.1 version for that device was absolutely rock solid for me, used it for a lonng time until i got the s2, s3, then this device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Unfortunately the people who are having problems haven't given me a good log yet. You can try whatever testing you want. Let me know if you encounter any issues and if you pull a log it will help immensely.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.3.3.2 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/10

In having trouble making a backup. When I'm in recovery the system won't Mount, but when i select it and try to backup twrp just restarts. I've tried reflashing 2.3.3.2 but still get the same error. What can i do to backup like normal again?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Try formatting system and then reinstalling the ROM. Also after the restart, if you can pull /tmp/recovery.log that would be great.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.3.3.2 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/10

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] saseekutz:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.3.3.2 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/10

Nothing out of the ordinary really. I was at work on lunch when i read your post to pull a log. That's when it just stayed looping.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:42 PM ----------

I flashed back to version 2.3.1.1 via odin and was able to get the recovery to reboot. when I tried to peform a backup the data wasn't mounting this time. When I try to use 2.3.2.x or newer it bootloops. Should I format like suggested earlier on 2.3.1.1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Someone else was having issues until they formatted data so it would be good to try. Just make sure you backup your internal sdcard first.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.3.3.2 TeamWin Recovery Project 1/10

Quite a process for something very simple.

Next time, download the twrp.img, rename it to twrp2332.img, and put it on the root of your internal SD card.

Download the app terminal emulator... if you can't access play store, manually install it by sending me a pm, I'll drop box it to you.

Open the app emulator. Type the following commands:

su (hit enter, it will ask for root. Grant it.)

dd if=/sdcard/twrp2332.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p9 (hit enter again, you'll see a time output)

reboot recovery (hit enter, device will reboot into your new recovery)

Hey I got.an stupid question. Since I am running the latest cm 10.1 nightly and it in my build.prop my phone is listed as the n7105 I probaly shouldn't use the too.I'm app I should just get it from goo and install it manually right. I know its not a big deal but I am wondering. If I mess up recovery and can't boot into recovery I am.screwed. so I don't want to just try it out.

Oh and also the odin file is .IMG.tar right. Not just.IMG. the .IMG can be flashed by adb or terminal emulator right? Sorry for all the stupid questions but I want to be sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
The install commands are on the TWRP page for your device. Img is to be used by dd in terminalor adb shell. Tar is for odin and zip is to be flashed in recovery.

Hi so if I have a 64gb I need to format it to fat32, but why do people recommend using exfat32 if I want to use the internal external card swap? So is TWRP and that mod mutually exclusive?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cajunflavoredbob:
The biggest advantage of exFAT over FAT32 is that you don't have to worry about a 4GB file size limit. Max single file size on FAT32 is about 4GB; exFAT is about 16ZB (zetabytes). FAT32 only supports disk sizes of up to about 2TB, whereas exFAT goes up to nearly 64ZB. The location of the boot sector is different between file systems as well as some speed differences. Most of the other changes don't matter enough to list.

Essentially, it boils down to the fact that you don't have to split the backups into separate files if you are using exFAT. That's the number one advantage in reference to custom recovery.

On the flip side, if you don't care about split backups, or having larger single files than 4GB, then just stick with FAT32 for nearly universal compatibility.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] k1ng617:
Thanks for that explanation. Honestly, the size limitation doesn't bother me so much. My TWRP backups are usually under 2GB and I don't plan on storing any videos over 4gb large. So maybe Fat32 is the way to go.

Will that conflict with using it as my internal memory for running games/apps off of?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
As long as your files are under 4gb it should be okay.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP2.4.1.0 TeamWin Recovery Project 2/1

I don't know about the latest versions of TWRP but on older versions you couldn't fix permissions after doing a factory reset. So that's why it doesn't work after flashing a rom but it works every other time. Bigbiff is definitely a LOT smarter than me and the person to go to for help but just thought I would throw that out there.

You have to boot android to create the XML file that is used to check permissions on Android applications. Then you can go back into recovery and run fix permissions.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viscy:
Hi guys, my galaxy s3 international i9300 just bricked today. I've been running phenomenal 4.0 extreme with ARHD 11.0 for a couple of weeks.

Phenomenal Extreme:

cpu arm : -125mv to all freq

cpu internal: -50mv to all freq

bus: -100mv to all freq

gpu: -100mv to all freq

It turned off all of a sudden and I can't turn it back on. Can't enter download mode or recovery either. The screen simply does not turn on. LED indicators don't turn on either.

Tried a USB Jig (that works on my old galaxy S1) and it doesn't work either. Phone remains dead. What can I do?

I intend to claim for warranty if all else fails, but it's already been flashed on a custom rom and I can't reset the flash counter.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Glebun:
If the screen doesn't turn on at all, you can try a new battery
