Did you just unlock it? If so, reboot into TWRP and go to the wipe section. Format Data & Wipe Cache & you will be good to go.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] momulah:
Same as user above with bootloops. I tried wiping cache/delvik and also factory reset but it says failed everytime in red at the top of TWRP. Im lost. Does the same with stock CWM Touch also. I downloaded the pre rooted factory rom but cannot access sd through mounting to flash that rom either. An ideas as far as sending the file to sd using adb commands?

Excellent, thanks!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bootscreen:
hy,

i found a major bug. when you try to encrypt your tablet and the encryption failed it shows a message on startup that it is needed to wipe / factory reset the tablet. when you approve this it reboot into the recovery, do it and restart. but this won't work. and when i wipe it from hand in the recovery it also won't work. i wipe, format, reset everything what i can in twrp but nothing help.

i must flash the stock recovery. restart the tablet so that the message appears and let them do the wipe / reset and than it woorks. and after it i must flash twrp again.

i hope you understand what i mean.

greetings bootscreen

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

You need to use the Format Data option under the wipe menu. This is not a bug. It's a difference between the way that stock recovery & a custom recovery handles a call to factory reset.

I went to flash a new ROM, booted into twrp 2.3.x, factory reset, and then I navigated up and down a few levels of folders in the window where you select the file you want to flash, and the recovery stopped working, actually, I think just the touchscreen stopped working in recovery. I adb rebooted recovery a few times and still no touch response. The twrp pad lock came up a few times saying swipe to unlock, but again I couldn't use the touchscreen.

I downloaded the latest twrp and flashed that. Booted into latest twrp and the touchscreen still didn't work. I downloaded the latest CWM recovery so I could navigate through the menus with the volume and power button to flash a ROM. Touch also did not work with latest CWMtouch, but using the vol/pwr buttons did. After successfully flashing and booting into the ROM, I rebooted into recovery and touch worked fine. I flashed twrp 2.4 again and touch worked fine as well.

Not sure what happened, but seemed to lose the touchscreen driver in recovery temporarily ...

How do I view the backups? Nandroid browser doesn't work.

also does anyone know where the picture directory in 4.1 is
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] wptski:
In TWRP, go to Restore to see the Backup list also should be viewed from the File Manager.

In /sdcard/twrp/ to see the same list.

Pictures are in /sdcard/pictures/

Does TWRP have recovery and root relash protection built in for when you flash a stock update that is not rooted with with stock recovery in the flash. I know CMW does this but I like TWRP better and was wondering if it also had this feature.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mfratella:
I flashed TWRP manually using fastboot, but every time I try to enter recovery mode, I just get to the screen with the red triangle and can only enter the default stock recovery. Any ideas?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] airesch:
Likely causes:

1. Fastboot didn't take, try again

2. You started booting into the OS after you flashed the image, which the OS will overwrite the recovery image during boot unless something has taken care of the script/image that it uses to flash it. You need to get into recovery before the OS starts booting at all right after you flash the image (if I remember correctly, TWRP will take care of moving the auto-reflash of the recovery to backup files.)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Is it possible to password protect backups?

This would be an awesome feature in conjunction with the latest CyanogenMod reboot to recovery changes (you need to be past the lockscreen before you can access the power menu option to reboot to recovery).

Someone could get your tablet, but they wouldn't get your data.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mvmacd:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

They can just hold power and vol- ? Or whatever it is. So what does it matter if they have to pass lock screen to reboot to recovery from menu? =P

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

I'm trying to restore a backup that I made a few hours ago. It craps out on data. Something problem with tar? Any ideas?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] wptski:
Have you made a backup and restored with the same TWRP version before? I myself had other problems with v2.4 but never tried v2.4.1.0. Went back to v2.3.3.0 and have done many backup/restores without a problem.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] 12paq:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

Hey man. I had this problem for the last two weeks for both creating backups and restoring old ones it would just crap out on restore data or back up data ( about half way thru or more). I would even get significant heat front and back where the CPU is located. I mean hot to the touch, like from playing NFS before thermal throttling was addressed at the kernel level.

I thought it was TWRP's 4.2+ version, but when I reverted to earlier TWRP versions, I got the same fails with heat. Turns out it was data corruption. As you know the N10 seems prone to it. From logs and behavior I could see the CPU almost going to a race condition then heating up, then panicking, then fail.. and reboot. This all happened when TWRP was writing and reading data. So what fixed it was a complete wipe and reformat of my partitions and then a new fresh install and now all is good. I even have far less freezes in Android then before. So, it was not TWRP, I believe it was just TWRP trying to hard read and right corrupted data on storage. Well that's my best guess. For sure the fresh formats and install corrected all problems.

Hope this helps,

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] TheBlueRaja:
Yeah, but if your backups are password protected they can't get your data, and not everyone is as technically minded as us.

Sure they can wipe system and restore etc, but as long as your backup is password protected your data is as safe as the password / encryption scheme used to protect it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Encrypted backups are on my list of things to do, however, unless you use Android's full device encryption it won't help much if someone has stolen your device. Holding the power button for 10 to 15 seconds forces the Nexus 10 to reboot no matter what and that will get the thief into recovery where they can easily get to your data. The goal of encrypted backups would mostly be to prevent apps from being able to access the data in your backup files. Right now your backups sit unprotected on /sdcard. Any app that can access your device's storage could theoretically extract personal information from your backup. I don't think that there are any cases of apps actually stealing data from a backup, but I'd prefer to get in front of the issue, though it's not a huge priority.

Bear in mind that if your device is stolen, well, nothing trumps physical access to the device. Tracking your device down via GPS is rare and there is nothing that I or anyone else can do to prevent things like a fastboot erase userdata command from wiping all of your data, including that GPS tracking app, off of the device.

I just updated to 2.4.1 from GooManager from 3.3.0 which is something that wouldn't work before, it would download but wouldn't install automatically and I Fastbooted last time to 2.4.0.

I created and restored a backup with no problem.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rainabba:
+1 this issue. Been thinking i needed to RMA. Any opinions? Only happens with DATA partition but its ~2.3GB.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] randomcore:
Hi.

Sorry guys, but how exactly can I get this USB mount feature to work?

I've tried that with TWRP 2.4.1.0 on my S3 i-9300. If I press mount USB, another menu appears with only one button labeled "unmount". How to proceed after mount? I only can leave this menu by pressing unmount. Or am I using the wrong file system? Actually I tried it using a 32 GB stick with FAT32.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] wptski:
Well, this is the Nexus 10 area. The Mount in TWRP has Use External or Use Internal option, select External and that's it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] randomcore:
Oh, I'm sorry. I had googled it and landed here. Have not seen that this forum is all about Nexus 10. Thanks :)

Edit: Btw, I got it. I thought, I can connect my USB-Stick to the phone, doing a nandroid backup straight onto the stick. But that feature is for mounting the file system from recovery using my PC. After mounting the usb device I was able to access the external SDCard via windows explorer.

Okey dokey :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] 12paq:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.1.0 touch recovery [2013-02-01]

Well it cleared up and fixed it when I did a full wipe and reformat. So no RMA for me.

I believe my data corruption started when I created a file my Win7 PC via USB. But I am not sure. Either way this is not a TWRP problem, so I wouldn't want to clutter up DesTroy's thread.. PM me if you want to toss this around more.

Not sure what's causing your problem, I've done two backups and no issues at all.

Thanks for the update! I restored my stock 4.21 backup, flashed stock recovery to take the 4.22 update, reflashed latest twrp and the root fix option worked perfectly.

The screen timeout option is very nice also. Keep up the great work.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] wptski:
I just made a backup and restored it. The only odd or different thing was right at the end of the restore the screen went black, I thought it was rebooting but a screen came up for "swipe to unlock". I've never seen this before. It rebooted and seems fine so far.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] apascual89:
That's one of the new features, screen timeout to save battery and avoid screen burn in on some devices

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] mrRobinson:
Great update. love the root options and perms fix.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
For the record, on my Nexus devices I let TWRP install the OTA updates. TWRP is based on AOSP recovery so it should work though it's always safest to use stock.

I also updated the kernel in the 2.4.2.0 version to use the latest stock kernel from the 4.2.2 OTA update.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] doumer:
so, afeter manual install i have the same problem as before: backing up system works, but then when backing up data and process is at "breaking up archives" (after a long time btw), the tablet reboots and i got an recovery-bootloop.

anything i can do or just revert back to 2.3 or use cwm (but i would love to stay on twrp)?

Btw: i noticed, that the progressbar is moving very slow/sluggish. A hint?

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

I got it to work if I restored system and boot and then seperatly restored data
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rainabba:
I came up with the same idea but DATA still craps out on me and reboots TWRP. Do you know the size of your data partition? Mine is 2.3GB and I think that's a big part of it.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] grieshmp:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

Off the top of my head I'm not positive but out of the 32G I only have 4G free space and I don't really compress it when backing up so I'd have top say my data partition is rather large.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rainabba:
The "Media" area doesn't get included in the DATA partition so that might not be as you expect. /data is basically the DATA part of a nandroid but a separate parition is mounted to /sdcard, /storage, etc.. for the equivalent of an sdcard. That bit isn't included. If you'd be willing to check, it could help us come to some clearer idea of why this issue exists.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] grieshmp:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.2.0 touch recovery [2013-02-25]

Alright just to make sure as I've never looked for the size of my data partition for backups, I went to where my TWRP backups are stored and added up the size of the my Data files from my backup which come out to about 1.8G.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rainabba:
Thanks for sharing. Anyone else getting reboots during restore want to share their DATA size? Anyone restoring okay but have >2GB DATA?

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] doumer:
well, didn't try to restore, but while backing up i got reboots (see a page back, but seems solved now...dunno).

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonebear:
I have been using TWRP for quite a while now with no problems until today.

I tried to restore a nandroid and it restores system and goes onto data and after a while it reboots into recovery again, so I booted up and it had restored the rom but not in the state I had backed it up.

It was like a fresh install and started me off at the setup wizard. I tried this with 2 different backups and the same thing happened each time.

I had just installed 2.4.3.0
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
Interesting! I had a similar experience -- thought I must have somehow screwed up the nandroid in the first place. I was having issues with my configuration, so I booted back to TWRP 2.4.3.0, wiped system, cache, Dalvik and did a factory reset, and then restored a nandroid that I had taken earlier with TWRP. Mine was also like a fresh install -- all the "first time" prompts, had to reset my wallpaper, had to log into each and every app again (they had all "forgotten" my credentials), etc. I thought it odd. Never had to actually restore from a nandroid before, so I really wasn't sure if I had somehow done something wrong.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't a nandroid normally take a complete snapshot of the state of your installation, e.g., the OS, installed apps, data, kernel and optionally recovery, so they whole thing can be restored back to the exact same state at a later time? :confused:
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rainabba:
You're not wrong, just experiencing the same crash we all are during restore of DATA leaving you in a state much like a factory reset. Try the restore again and you'll see a reboot back into TWRP occur during and you will be back at the TWRP home screen instead of a "success" screen.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
Yes...I was in something of a boot loop: TWRP intro screen, then Google logo screen...then TWRP intro screen... I broke the cycle by holding down Power, Vol Up and Vol Down, after which it finished booting all the way -- but in the "new install" state we've been discussing... So - not just me...

TWRP is definitely my preferred recovery. Hoping we'll learn what's causing this, and can confidently get past it again soon!
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonebear:
Yea, it happens to me with the last two revisions. I went back to 2.4.1.0 and not had any problems since.

Replaced CWM with TWRP on Nexus 10

I installed recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.1.6-manta-Wfix-by-damien667 yesterday, all appeared to be OK, but Nandroid backups were not showing any data/apps when trying to 'restore from Nandroid' in Titanium. Tried X times and wasted a lot of time!

Finally bit the bullet, got GooManager from the Play Store, installed OpenRecoveryScript, and never looked back.

My first backup was instantly recognised by TB, so I restored an app to prove it worked, and I'm a happy camper again :)

Many thanks to Dees_Troy and team! Donation on the way ;)

PS I'll be comparing with CWM on my SG Nexus and Nexus 7, both of which work OK.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
I'm guessing that my issue was probably due to insufficient available storage. I have a 32GB N10, but have a load of documents on it, and also several nandroids, each around 2GB to 3GB. Also forgot that services like DropBox get local copies of everything I store in the cloud. Turns out I only had less than 2GB free when I was trying to restore a nandroid that was over 2GB. I have a vague recollection from TWRP doc that this is a recipe for a failed restore - which I can understand since temporary workspace will no doubt be needed (unpacking, copying, etc). I've opened up about 10GB on the device. Not 100% sure until I try it, but I'm guessing that a nandroid restore should work just fine now in 2.4.3.0.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] hanspampel:
No it does. I tried it one time and it made a fullwipe after restoring a Nandroid what i did with the latest TWRP.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
TiBU can "see" all the apps in the TWRP nandroid... if it's messing up on a restore, then I'm guessing it's something in restore process itself -- not the nandroid (all speculation of course). Hopefully it will be worked out soon.

Can you copy the TWRP log and post it for the developers (dees_troy et al) to see? The more info we share, the faster this can be resolved.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] lKBZl:
Why didn't you backup your apps with the restore option in the recovery? I tried it, however it just restored my options and the homescreen from my rom, but i didnt get any app backed up.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jonstrong:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

Frustrating situation. I had switched to TWRP a few months ago, and it's been great until I just started seeing problems when attempting to restore nandroids. I don't have the knowledge to completely verify the contents of the nandroids that 2.4.3.0 creates, but TiBU does seem to recognize the apps in the data portion of the nandroid and the file sizes seem to be about right.

I first ran into problems trying to restore a nandroid. After TWRP reported the restore being complete, an attempt to boot wound up in a weird boot loop. I'd see Android starting up, and after a couple of seconds, TWRP started up again. Every attempt to reboot gave the same results until I held down Power, Volt Up and Volt Down, after which I was able to boot all the way into Android. However I wound up with all the First Time user dialogs... None of my user apps were installed when the nandroid was restored.

I've read a few accounts recently that sound similar, and I saw one in which the poster believed that TWRP was having trouble writing to the data partition.

I reluctantly switched back to CWM for now until this appears to be resolved (whether it's a bug or user error). I didn't have the presence of mind to copy the TWRP log when I had the error. I'd suggest that if anyone else has problems restoring nandroids with TWRP you use the option in TWRP to copy the log to the so card, and then share it with the TWRP developers (Dees_Troy comes to mind). They'll need the log, ROM / version info too.

Hoping we see this figured out soon!

I update TWRP the last two times from GooManager just fine. This time it downloaded but didn't install so I looked in the GM folder and there was 2.4.4.0 with the word "download" in the file name which means that it didn't install. I went back into GM and all a sudden it showed that it installed and the "download" is now removed from the file name.
