Some of the old twrp tars were not working. Try the latest please and let me know if you can get Odin to work with it. I have personally tested it on Windows 8 and Odin 3.05.

When you boot into TWRP from a power off: press vol down + home + power and boot into TWRP, you see the curtain and it reboots or is it doing something else? Can you describe what its doing?

Boot loops is a term to me that means when you boot into Android, you see the splash screen or boot animation, but never boot into the launcher, it will reboot the dalvik vm and go back to the splash/bootanimation or reboot the phone entirely if it is a bad kernel.

I would like to help if you can describe exactly what you are experiencing. I will reply back when you do with what I think you can do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Damented:
I am sure this has been asked but getting ready to go to work and didn't have time to look through all the pages but can I flash this using CWM instead of recovery in OP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mocsab:
When I would attempt to run TWRP - by three finger press for recovery - or thru GOO MANAGER to REcovery (or reboot menu to recovery) the curtain would load - stay for a second and then reboot. When I attempted to flash any version of TWRP in ODIN - (the latest version of odin) Odin would start and then the error message said "Odin has stopped working...and then would crash) - I could get CWM to work - so when I tried to flash ANY version of TWRP the same boot loop issues (when botting into recovery) would happen. But CWM wasn't working either - back ups were not complete - each one I made was only 16MB in size - way too small to be real.

I tried everyting to get TWRP Working - and to be honest - to get CWM working properly -

I think the only way to fix this is to get a tar of the original stock and odin it - which should fix it. (I have tried every version of TWRP I can find)

what I am not sure abbut is what caused this - It happened after trying to reboot to restore a nandroid after I flashed a ROM posted in our Development thread for MIUI - this rom was based on 7100 had a number of issues so I wnated to restore my previous ROM when I went to recovery this started - I also had triangle away installed on my phone - I had zeroed out flashes some time ago and forgot that I had it set to zero out on reboot - and I recall sseein something about not trying to use Triangle away when using some of the "international based roms that have been ported over recently) It is probably one of those things - I just want to be more careful to make sure it never happens again -

Man did it do something to your partitions? Are you still booting into MIUI with no problems?

If you are try to paste cat /proc/partitions for me.

I installed TWRP via goo manager. It said Recovery was installed but my device didn't reboot. Is TWRP properly installed on my device? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DoctorQMM:
Since you have GooManager on your phone now, open GooManager app and reboot into recovery ( menu selection "Reboot Recovery" )... then you can peruse around to get a feel for what can be done in TWRP. So far, I'm very impressed with it.

how to install via odin

within odin do i use the .tar or the .img ?

what makes this better than cwm ?

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

I was experiencing the same exact problem. Had to install cmw to get out of it. Tried to reinstall TWRP and still no luck. I don't know what happened my sd card got wiped out. Pretty strange. Never experienced this before. The only thing I can think of is that the fix offered in the 4.2 post did not work properly and downgrading back to 4.1.2. But I was able to flash multiple 4.1.2 roms without issue. Very strange and still making me scratch my head.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Ah, I believe you are suffering 4.2 issues. We will ship 4.2 fixes hopefully on Wednesday.

This is from multiuser updates in 4.2 which creates directories for each user under /data/media. Check your directory for 0 or multiple subfolders of 0.

This will be fixed soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SamsungGalaxyStig:
That's the thing, I'm aware of the sub folders and checked immediately but everything was back to normal which is strange. There were no 0 or other multiple subfolders before all this happened. I was using 2 other roms on 4.1.2 after reverting back from 4.2 with no issues before TWRP started getting stuck and rebooting on me. However, I'm having no issues with cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
If twrp restarts, then you can get /tmp/recovery.log. I can help you get to the bottom of the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SamsungGalaxyStig:
No luck on TWRP restarting. Weird part is, i can't even wipe now on cmw. it keeps rebooting when i try to wipe data. Phone is stuck at boot screen now too. Scratching my head and searching away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I would odin a stock image and recreate your partitions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SamsungGalaxyStig:
Already did that. Still won't boot. Still won't wipe. Really really weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Can you post more detail on what you have done and tried. I am unsure what your problem is and what you have done to cause it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SamsungGalaxyStig:
10 retores later and it finally works. got twrp back up and running. Running fine now. I have no idea what the hell happened. Thanks man. Really appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nellycruzz:
Will the newest twrp work with touchwiz based roms? Just saw the aosp code and wanted to ask. Planning to flash a touchwiz rom. Just asking and any advice be great.

Edit: is it possible to get twrp via the goo.im app like other phones I used in the past?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yes, it will flash any zip that uses updater-binary and updater-script (READ, every zip does it this way in android)

This is standard in android.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] nellycruzz:
Can It be installed via the goo.im app like I did with the s3?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Yes, it can be installed via goo manager.

You can look at the changelog in post 2 to see if you want to upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rocket42:
Yeah..I did that is why I said I should upgrade...if I understand correctly if I want to flash 4.2 roms I should...which ..I will want to. But yeah..I have had no issues thus far. ;)

If you use a 4.2 rom you will need to upgrade or else you will have problems with finding your files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Will Goo Manager prompt for an update? Or is this a manual flash process?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You can update via goo manager but it won't prompt.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dean1650:
FYI:

I used Goo to install 2.3.2. I tried to use Goo to upgrade and when I "checked for upgrades" returned "no upgrades available" I used the menu option to "install open script" and that found 2.3.3 and installed it correctly. Everthing appears to work fine. Not sure if maybe Goo has a bug looking for updates. Not a big deal but might generate more questions. Running Clean ROM 3.3, perseus kernel on GN 2 i317.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rocket42:
The way you did it is the way I always do it so....not sure it is an issue...that "check for upgrade" ...as far as I believe only checks for upgrades to a rom.

Twrp recover boot loop

For the second time on different phones I have had a serious problem with TWRP Recovery.

I am using TWRP 2.3.3.1 - I updated last week - I have launched recovery several times - no problems - created back ups - flashed roms - etc.

Today, I had just restored a back up I made the other day and when I tried booting - it got stuck on Samsung boot screen - so I booted back into recovery and flashed the rom over (Clean 3.5) - so far so good.

I was going to go back into recovery to flash a theme - and when I tried, I got stuck in a TWRP Boot loop. Recovery would boot to the "TWRP CURTAIN" and just before the Menu would appear, it rebooted to the curtain again - it did this over and over and over - until I finally pulled the battery and used ODIN to flash CWM -

I am now on the latest CWM Touch.

The last time this happened on a previous phone, and every time I tried to re-install TWRP,by flashing - thru GOO MANAGER - whatever - no matter what I did it would go into a Recovery bootloop.

(Side note - I cannot seem to flash TWRP thru ODIN at all - when I do, I get an error message saying ODIN has stopped working) But I can use the SAME ODIN to flash CWM.

Another side note - when I flash CWM and attempt to create a backup - going into the CWM file on my EXT SD Card - when I check the file size it is only 16mb - which is not at all large enough to be a full backup -

Any suggestions?

What kernal are u using?

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mocsab:
I was using the Perseus Alpha 29 Kernel that came with the Clean 3,5 ROM,

I was finally able to flash TWRP (2.3.3.3) thru Odin (using Galaxy Tool Kit) - but I had the same BOOTLOOP thing happen when I tried to go into recovery -

I tried to flash a different ROM (pure stock) in CWM - but when I attempted to clean data in CWM it reobooted to recovery and would not wipe.

I flashed the ROM I was using originally and everything booted fine - but my recovery is BORKED both TWRP and CWM and I am not sure what to do???

(I can flash in CWM but I cannot wipe data, Plus Backups do not seem completed in CWM - and TWRP just Bootloops)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I am sorry you were having this problem. If you would like to help though I really need you to use adb to pull /tmp/recovery.log even if you are seeing recovery crash over and over. Adbd is a separate running process and should still allow you to pull the log. Thanks to people who do this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mocsab:
Sorry I was not able to pull the log you asked for - I ended up having to go completely back to stock using ODIN - and then re-rooting - which I m sure wiped out any logs I might have had - and I didn't see your request until after I had Odined back to Stock

I sure wish I could figure out what (if anything) I could do differently to keep this from happening - or is it just 'one of those things'? I don't see it happening to tons of other people - but I did see several others saying they had similar issues in the QA section -
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
The only way I know that this could happen is a bad download for a bad flash since recovery is all in one file. If it's only a partial download it will Bork. Always check the md5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mocsab:
I did. Md5 was good. It flashed fine fron cwm. The problem was recovery was borked. Cwm worked for flashing but there were other issues it had with backups and other stuff..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
I'm not sure what's going on. You flashed the t0lteatt one right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bluntman420:
Is there any progress with being able to mount any USB storage? It really sucks having to take the back cover off the phone everytime i want to start fresh before flashing a new rom.?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
You can use adb pull and push over the usb cable.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mocsab:
Yes - when it happened - I could not get TWRP to work beyond it opening to the 'curtain' and rebooting to recovery over and over - CWM worked for flashing - but when I tried to create backups they were not complete - CWM backups ended up only around 16mb in size - way too small to be a full nandroid - and I could not wipe data in CWM - it would simply reboot to recovery in CWM when I tried - one other thing I noticed - there were errors reading the Ext SD card in CWM -

Something happened in the flash that borked recovery requiring me to odin back to full stock with stock recovery - and then re-rooting and flashing twrp over -

I guess it will remain a mystery until it happens (if it happens) to a bunch of others - so far it seems to be extremely limited to only a few users -

I am grateful for your attempts to help - and if it ever happens again I will try to capture a logcat so you can try to see what may have caused this in this in the first place. For future frame of reference - can you tell me where I can go to read up on how to capture a logcat like you requested? I have never done this and am not quite sure what to do or how ? (particularly with a phone that is not booting properly at the time and is stuck in a reboot ?)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] garyd9:
uh oh...

It appears that TWRP does NOT backup the media directory in the /data mount (often also called the "internal sdcard", and often accessed as only /sdcard) Is this correct?

If it DOES back up this directory, how in the world can I restore it? Restoring only /data does NOT restore the contents of /data/media.

For some reason (perhaps because older versions of CWM Recovery DO backup all of /data) I expected that /data/media would be backed up. Upon doing a full wipe and restore, I discovered that all of my SNotes, custom alarms, notifications, ringtones, etc are all ... GONE. (By custom alarms/notifications/etc, I mean the .ogg files stored in /sdcard/Alarms, /sdcard/Notifications, /sdcard/Ringtones, etc)

(As a side note, it was driving me nuts that none of my notification tones were sounding! I couldn't figure out why my phone was giving me a notification LED flash without a tone.)

If TWRP doesn't backup /data/media, can this please be added to the "todo" list as an option in the settings (or even handled as if it were a different partition)?

I understand that it'd be a Bad Thing for it to backup it's own backups (/data/media/TWRP), but it'd be fairly trivial for that to be avoided.

It seems reasonable for a person to want to be able to do a FULL backup of ALL internal storage of the device. A perfect reason why: backup to the external sdcard, and restore the backup to a replacement device.

Thanks

Gary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbiff:
Yeah, we never have backed up the entire /data partition. You can just go into android, copy and paste after connecting to the computer.

Not sure why you would back up the sdcard to itself.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Hohumhurrdurr:
I've had this tablet for a couple weeks now, and like many others, have not had the greatest experience as far as speed goes. Of course, while the I'm confident that unlocking and flashing CleanROM and Clemsyn's kernel onto my tab will make it much faster, I'm wondering whether it's really worth it. For those of you who have done so, how much has your experience differed from before unlocking to after? I rooted and flashed over a custom ROM onto my old G2, but only when I knew I was getting a replacement sometime in the near future. Worried about hard bricking especially because my tablet is without any of the numerous hardware defects that have been reported. In addition, some minor questions:

1) I'm not sure if it's clarified precisely in a guide, but how does one manually push OTA updates onto the tab after unlocking? I never had to worry about that on my phone.

2) Is there a significant increase in I/O speeds after unlocking, custom ROM, and custom kernel? Or is the poor hardware still going to bottleneck I/O speeds regardless of how much power is pushed to the CPU?

3) Currently using Tasker to manage my CPU. Will a custom kernel eliminate the need for it? (Actually, I still don't have a very clear idea of what a kernel is, if anyone could clarify).

4) TWRP or CWM? Didn't have a particularly bad time with CWM on my phone, but the forum mostly suggests TWRP?

5) Chances of a soft/hard brick? I'm pretty sure I can't downgrade to get NVFlash, and I don't want to end up with a $500 brick.

Thanks to any help you guys can provide and sorry if any of it is a repost.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thats OK:
I've in the past downed the appropriate firmware file from Asus to a desktop PC.

Connected the tab thru USB...unzipped the download file to the tabs internal sd or the external micro card.

Usually the tablet will detect an update sometimes without a reboot as though it's an OTA.

From there it's yay or nay...

Yes!

In my own personal case a 75% or 90% increase maybe higher.

I'm going off benchmarks here..

Sadly of course we can't change the insides.

No experience with Tasker myself. I don't see a need for CPU management with Clemsyn's latest kernel modifications.

Also CleanROM 2.4 is running very fast by itself...in my opinion.

* A kernel is the framework or bridge that any OS uses to bring software and hardware together.

The kernel manages resources in memory for input\output from applications to machine processing (as I understand it.)

Generally the kernel has to load into memory on boot up to pull everything together.

I think this would be a preference.

I had to use CWM (non touch) once to root inside JellyBean using the ADB bridge.

Once rooted I went right back to TWRP 2.3.1.0

Merely a pref...I was afraid I was going to screw something up using CWM (non-touch) because I had to navigate with the volume +\- and power button.

My own fear of "fat-fingering" those tiny buttons came into play here...

Many will recommend NV and rightly so...it would be nice to have the insurance in case one had to bring the tablet back from the grave!

Thinking my tablet upped to .30 before NV Flash showed up.

Most likely worth the trouble for sure.

All in all I believe unlocking, flashing then seeing the benefits would be worth the miniscule risks.

Very little is cast in stone, however many have gone before and are happy tablet people after perusing the development section and choosing their poison!

These or variations of the questions get asked quite often.

We don't mind answering ... I'm retired so I have lots of free time anyhoo ...

The best learners are the ones who love to teach!

...as my sister the teacher used to say.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I will probably replicate some of Thats_OK's thorough answer here, but I will go through it sequentially... just because I can. ;)

Sweet Lord, the difference is day and night. I'm not a benchmark guy, so I wouldn't be the one to trust when throwing around numbers, but it IS significant without a single doubt.

Mine is free of anything out of the order aswell, but the upside is you don't have to contend with any special issues either. ;)

I think Scott Crossler's guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1938129 is best since it contains a few screenshots too. You'd only need step 1, but it's a nice start. The same guide is also applicable if you want to flash a custom ROM, so no need to put more in here.

As I said before: I think you'll be amazed -- I know I was. I have an SGS2, it's nice and smooth and I wanted that same feeling with the 700. I was happy with it in stock state, but I will admit I expected more of it. Now, 100% happy (CleanROM 2.4, not even Clemsyn's kernel yet). Not 99.9% -- a full 100%.

A kernel is... hehehe, wow... is the piece of code that translates any commands programs give to the hardware of your device, shoving data around in the process and making the results of data processing available system-wide. This is a crutch explanation and very simplified, but I'm sure some Googling will enlighten you much more. <faceslap for not reading your questios fully before starting to answer>

Preference, as Thats_OK said. He is a TWRP guy, I'm a CWM guy. Both will serve you well as long as you stay up to date and only use the newest versions. Not a possiblity to go hugely wrong here, you'll just have to try what you like. I have had CWM on my SGS2 for ages, and Touch CWM is available for the 700 -- so these two aspects made it a clear go-to recovery for me. YMMV.

Depends on which firmware your 700 currently runs. If you're a sensible guy and know you have to read, and maybe even hold back a few hours to maybe even a day or two till we have put new things through their paces -- having Nvflash available, the risk is negligible to us -- you'll be fine. I've been flashing around before Nvflash was even available and I didn't give that much though, to be honest. The risks are not that big to start with as long as you can follow procedures to the letter (or now how to recover from most errors), and Nvflash only makes them even smaller.

You're getting away with it, since you 1) asked nicely and 2) only your first question was a duplicate. Hahaha! Just kidding. You asked some questions that were new to me, so then I am not inclined to be annoyed. (I'll admit I have been less than nice the last few weeks. Santa Clause has a slightly less heavy load this year. ;) )
