T-Mo USA 2.3.1.2 On TWRP's Official Site?

Hiya bigbiff. I don't see the T-Mo USA variant .2 update on TWRP's official site.

I see a T-Mobile section, but is that specifically for the SGH-T889?

Do you control that portion of TWRP's site? :confused:

It needs to be added for sure.

Great work though! Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yeah I am trying to update all the links to point to the upperllevel directory so I don't have to updateall tthe time. It is under t0ltetmo Galaxy Note 2 Tmobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
Its t0ltetmo

btw if you download goo.im you can download from there ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yeah this phone has like 7 names man. It's crazy!

Has anyone else noticed that TWRP won't mount 64gb? I have the SanDisk Ultra. Do I have to format it as ExFat?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Should work with 2.3.1.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] taier:
64gb working now! Awesome.

CWM User

I've always been a CWM user since my first OG Droid on Verizon. How's everyone's experience with TWRP? Are there any incompatibilities with custom ROMS? I know we can't use their backups interchangeably-which I dont mind at all because whatever recovery I use I will use pretty much for the life of my phone unless there are compatibility issues.

Also, if I use this root method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975560) and install TWRP will this increase my counter and give me a boot triangle?

Any insight is greatly appreciated =)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
The new bootloader on the Galaxy Note 2 will increase the counter each time it sees any custom recovery or kernel, so you will need to use chainfire's tool triangle away to erase this counter. This will only work when you unroot, install official recovery and kernel. Otherwise the count will increase again after rebooting the phone.

I got it to install 2.6.3.1 finally. I downloaded the img file and flashed it with Flashify

Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy Note 2 using my fingers. Duh!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bronyr:
Yeah that .IMG + flashify worked!! Thx.

Is this good for 4.4 Kat?

Update: not working with 4.4 just yet. Installs and boots fine but sez no SIM card.

Back to cwm for that one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Haven't uploaded a selinux kernel version yet. Can you test http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/t0ltetmo-recovery.img.tar?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bronyr:
Having problems converting tar to IMG. I don't use Odin or ADB. Tried cloudconverter but it doesn't work. Went back to CM 10.2
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:

So is TWRP 2.6.3.1 out of date without the SELinux kernel? Do I need to update 2.6.3.1?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
2.6.3.1 will allow you to flash roms properly with the proper contexts in the rom zip file. Otherwise without SELINUX you cannot set contexts in the filesystem.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
In which way sir?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
I was running stock rooted 4.3. I had it just the way I liked and made a backup using 2.6.3.0. Decided to try Jedi again. The installer would not finish and I decided to restore my backup. After doing a restore, the phone would hang on the LTE screen. I tried to restore my backup again and I would be stuck on the LTE screen again.

Used Odin to flash the rooted stock 4.3. My surprise, the phone booted up and all my settings were just as I had them before creating the backup, including wallpaper and everything! I thought Odin would restore it back to stock?

As for TWRP, installing Jedi with both 2.6.3.0 and 2.6.3.1 would result in hanging install most of the time. Also, I can't restore a backup?

Make any sense why after an Odin, I would retain my settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
If the ROM was selinux enabled and you backed up with 2.6.3.0 it may be the issue. 2.6.3.1 has the selinux kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shiftymccool:
So, does that mean that all of these new KK ROMs that are "CWM only" safe to flash with TWRP now? I made the switch to TWRP a few months ago and I'm not interested in going back just to flash KK roms.

So I downloaded openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.7-t0ltetmo.img.tar and extracted it to recovery.img. Then, I flashed it through heimdall

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img

Then, my phone stopped going past the cm boot logo, so then I flashed twrp 2.6.3.1, and stuck. Again. I checked the md5 hashes of the files, they seem intact. Also tried other ROMs, same issue. Halp. Bootloop, unable to debug.

EDIT: I was an idiot and ran "heimdall flash --RECOVERY openrecovery-tw....img.tar" which is a 11 MB file. The recovery partition's max though is 8, so it ate into my RADIO partition. Flash in the modem and TADA. PHONE NOW WORKS!!!

Unable to install

Hello all,

It looks like some folks are having a similar issue to mine. I installed CWM a week ago to try some KK roms and wanted to go back to TWRP to install a backup I had taken prior. I am unable to install via GooManager. It tries to install 2.6.3.1 and, although it says it's successful, when I boot to recovery it's still CWM. I tried flashing 2.6.3.1 and 2.6.3.7 via CWM but the installation aborts.

Any suggestions?

EDIT:

Looks like 2.6.3.0 installed from CWM just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LancerV:
Yeah 2.6.3.7 is a no go
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pvtjoker42:

Ok I've been searching for my own solution for a while now with no results. Im now running stock rooted 4.3 with twrp 2.6.3.1 and every time I restore a backup everything goes fine until I reboot and I hang on the tmobile screen and never boots. Only thing I can do from there is battery pull, reboot recovery and flash a rom to get my phone to boot. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
What about 2.6.3.0?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] James62370:
Are you downgrading from 4.3 to 4.12? Unfortunately when this happens to me, formatting data or a factory reset gets things going again.

Small issue. I flashed my first 4.4 rom and all went well. Decided to restore tw 4.3 backup. Internal storage remains legacy instead of 0. Ended up having to dirty flash 4.3 to get storage back to 0. Is this a known issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I assume you restored system and data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xmv540:
Yes. I restored everything. Or at least tried to.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
This is all setup in the rom, so TWRP tars up whatever is there and restores what was there. I guess I might be confused on what you mean by legacy storage instead of /data/media/0.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xmv540:
After restoring from 4.4, es file manager shows device, legacy and ext sd. On 4.3 it shows device, 0, and ext sd card.

On a side note after restoring from 4.4 to 4.3 tw my boot animation was gone. Just a black screen until it was booted up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Not sure why that would happen unless it was already that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] xmv540:
I did see in one of the 4.4 threads that titanium backup settings had to be changed to restore to legacy. Does that make any difference?
