I have gone back and forth a few times, all I did was flash the fix, and delete file 0, it was a file on my internal that had copies of all my files, but they were all empty. I have no issues now, and my internal is labeled sd card 0 on file explorer and external is labeled ext sd. Deleting the file 0 solved my issues after downgrading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Smokeaire:
Is that indicated by a arrow on the folder? I've found a few of those, never have seen that before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
Or use the TWRP recovery to delete it. It's a multipurpose tool
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBake88:
I tried deleting sdcard0 through Es explorer and it wouldn't let me. Also tried TWRP file manager and when I deleted it in TWRP it said successful but when I rebooted it was still there. I'm just going to push a stock image via ODIN and reflash my ROM. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] roughneckboren:
That's weird. I've never had a problem deleting via file explorer, over, or twrp. Twrp usually is the go to when all else fails for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 9wire:
Not sd card 0, but a file 0 on my internal was the problem. So, on sd card 0, there was a file 0 that I had to delete. Here's what I have now on 4.1.2...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBake88:
Hmmm, maybe I have been confusing everyone and maybe myself lol. I have the same thing you have but I have never had it named SDcard0 and I can't seem to rename the file (damn my OCD is really kickin in today). Maybe ES explorer is being weird also because i show "sdcard" and "sdcard0" but in file manager i only show like yours with sdcard0 and external. There is no 0 folder in sdcard0..(picture 5 is what shows when I click on sdcard0.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
It's not my thread - but is this thread still about TWRP or 4.2.2? ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
The discussion will hopefully enlighten all users who may confuse the 4.2.2 file structure, as a cause/effect when using TWRP to navigate their files.

I learned this fuse file structure difference only days ago myself after the recovery could not find files it had created.

The issue of course was file location related and included duplicate files that confused the recovery.

Although the discussion of 4.2.2 is off topic here, I appreciate it being tolerated as it ultimately solved the problem, and it appears to be helping others as well.

Thank you bigbiff, for allowing this information to be talked about in the thread. ..g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBake88:
Well said, I have learned a lot. It was a big help. I know it was not entirely on topic but I did try using Twrp to get rid of some files so it wasn't completely off topic LOL. :thumbup: LOVE TWRP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 9wire:
Yup, my issue originally was after downgrading back to 4.1 twrp couldn't find my internal storage at all, deleting the file zero in addition to flashing the fix from cm fixed my problem.

I don't have the time right now. I am working on porting MTP from AOSP, which will probably take months. Also I am more focused on projects that will work with multiple phones. Dual boot is usually device specific.

Interesting

Highly intriguing, I have a 1 month old tester unit that AT&T sent us, a pre-release version to test our software on. And now that the production version is released, I wanted to get this one onto the same page. I tried installing TWRP but it's failing. I was able to install CWM via Odin just fine. I then tried to install TWRP via Odin but when it goes back into recovery, it's CWM. I then tried the DD method, but when going into recovery, still CWM. I then tried using the GooManager method to install the recovery script, same thing, still CWM. Lastly I tried to flash the TWRP zip file using CWM and I get an "Installation aborted" message when it tries.

So I tried installing TWRP 4 different ways on this tester unit and all 4 failed. But CWM installs without issue. I wonder what hardware changes AT&T made within 30 days before this test unit and the final release that's messing up TWRP. Strange.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] S7icky:
is that not what downloading the PDA files from sammobile and doing it in odin is for? cause i did that and it still boots right upto twrp.

I keep getting this when i try to wipe my system...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:

No errors regarding system in that log. However you might want to format cache. TWRP is unable to copy the last_log there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] S7icky:
Why would it tell be the cannot mount system is that normal?

formating cache did nothing. still boots right into twrp even after adin did a fresh install back to stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You still need to install stock recovery...

I didn't see any errors mounting system in the log you gave me. Formatting cache isn't going to help removing twrp.

How do i do that if ODIN wont do it? I have downloaded all the stock files. and run the pda file threw odin is said pass and it still boots right into twrp.

twrp will not do anything.. wont restore wont anything.

Password protection?

I am sure I am not to only one to wonder about this and I admit I have not read the entire thread. If TWRP could be password protected, people could better secure their phone. The only way in would be a Odin hack. This would give us more time to use GPS and other methods to locate the phone before hack and wipe occurred.

Why no password protection yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Because password protection of recovery is useless...

If a thief wants to wipe a device...they simply power it down and boot into download mode...

Then they push a stock image...

Everything is erased...including passwords within the system or recovery partitions anyway..

The logical step would be to protect DL mode...or disable the volume buttons with a password......

Preventing button actions in a powered down state would be difficult though...

Hardware key remapping would do the trick...and the Rom would need support for that...but it's absolutely doable....

The DL mode is a great thing...and a security nightmare...all rolled up into one..g

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] floykoe:
Yes, I totally see the double edged sword of disabling your hardware buttons. Absolute security would be assured, but what if you got in trouble and needed them. I could see a brick problem happening really fast...unless there was a way to password protect the volume rocker.

My original point was that, yes, ODIN hack would still be a vulnerability; one that is likely unavoidable at the present time. However, if recovery was password protected, a computer with ODIN (or other hacking software) would be needed to hack the phone. This would buy the user some time. The phone could be locked in the on position, GPS could be remotely enabled, the phone could be ordered to screem when you knew you were close to it, remote pictures and recording could aid in it's recovery. The phone would likely be stolen some distance from the thief's hacking computer (if he is that sophisticated). Most phones are stolen by people that are not hackers, but may be knowledgeable about recovery. All phone have a recovery and recovery can be used to hack any phone to a clean state in less than 5 minutes, on the spot, regardless of how fancy you think your anti-theft software is. Then the SIM card can be replaced and you phone is as good and gone forever.

But, what if recovery was password protected? A hacker would remove the battery and ODIN hack it at his convenience, but most thieves are not that knowledgeable. Somebody finds a phone and decides they want it for their own, instead of trying to return it. There are a lot more people that can figure out a recovery hack than there are people that know how to ODIN hack.

So I respectfully disagree with your proposal that password protected recovery would be useless. In most cases, it would buy those of us with anti-theft software time and a greater chance of retrieving our $600+ phone, before hack occurs. We can password protect literally everything on an android phone, except its greatest vulnerability; recovery.

QUESTION::

Why is it I can't see my old backups, in the new version of TWRP:confused:?? Or am I missing something, that's right in front of me??? :banghead:

But if I go back to my old version 2.4.4.0 then all is good..

Or do I just need to do a back up with the new version, in order for them too show up?? :confused: I even moved my backup to my internal SD still nothing there?? Wth

Just wondering is all, why it's not showing up. I flashed back to the version that working for me!!

Just my 2¢®:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Unless you happen to have stored your backups on the internal memory - you will never find them ;)

You're looking at Data in the screen shot of 2.6.0.0, and looking at the external memory with the older version of TWRP ;) ^_^

Oh yeah - silly rabbit - lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Thanx 4 the info shaggy. Lol;)

But the data shot is from me hitting restore in the new version of TWRP 2.6.. That's what comes up!:confused:

But in the 2.4 twrp if I hit restore, I'll get those 2 different options. So whatever your backups are you'll b able to locate them. But not in this new one from what I can see.

Note: when updating TWRP on my other phone TMO GN2 which had 2.5 on it. When it went to 2.6 my backups were there??:confused:

And you can also back up, to your external SD also!!!

Guess it had the newer version 2.5 so it worked with the update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
If you touch the screen where you see Storage Data at the top, under the time & battery, you will see that you can select where twrp should look for the backups - if I'm understanding you correctly.
