Reboot during data restore

I have run out of options, seek help in this forum.

I have Nexus 10 running Project Flaming Monkey, Android 4.3.1.

TWRP failed on restore from TWRP nandroid backup, the system restore went well, few minutes after data restore, Nexus 10 reboot itself, no log is saved. Now, I have left with working ROM but no data.

I have tried 5 different versions of TWRP (2.3.2.3 to 2.6.3.0) and 3 sets of TWRP Nandroid backups, all reboot in data restore.

Nandroid Manager reads the files correctly but quite a few apps restore encountered failures (also extremely slow).

I am about to backup /sdcard, format data, and retry restore, just wondering if there is good solution out there.

Thanks in advanced.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bruce7373:
Common complaint with newer versions, and seems to be especially with N10 (I've never had this problem with my N4). Some say using versions <2.4.0.0 is the answer. I've been using 2.5.0.0 lately with success. All I can say is normally when the restore chokes during the data portion, if you try the restore again, it usually succeeds (at least that's my experience). It's frustrating as hell, I know. And while there have been numerous complaints in threads here about this, I've yet to see any mention of it by the TWRP devs.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] tingtan:
Thanks for the explanation, I have been restoring multiple times without success (for me, the device reboots itself 100% of the time).

Another problem I found from "cat data*win00? | tar tvf -", only small portion of apk in "/data/app" have been backed up, that is why Nandroid Manager failed.

I am going to wipe data and start the ROM from scratch, use 2-month old Titanium Backup to restore and probably update the data files (/data/data) from TWRP backup files.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bruce7373:
Sounds like a plan. :thumbup:

On an unrelated note, have you, or anyone else heard of TWRP corrupting the IMEI? I did some flashing and restoring yesterday and somewhere along the way I no longer had a working phone. I had to eventually, after a couple of hours pulling what hair I have left out, flash a factory ROM to get up and running again. :banghead:
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] tingtan:
I use Philz on my phone (now Nexus 10), some ROM installers offer EFS backup (or from play store). Not fun to have IMEI corrupted.

I am very impressed with Nandroid Manager, it can recover almost all my data including system settings and home screen (bought PRO version). I probably stay away from TWRP (used it because of OTG), it probably works on 99.99% of the users but not for me (reboot on data restore is not fun).

Happy Nexus 10 user again.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bruce7373:
I've done my fair share of flashing with countless ROMs and many versions of TWRP and up to now I've only encountered the data restore reboot bug (only on my N10, by the way, never on my N4). This IMEI corruption issue used up the better part of a day getting it sorted. I heard from someone later it was a new bug with TWRP 2.6.10, something I was unaware of. And like me it happened after flashing a particular ROM. I don't want to point a finger, but there you have it. ;)

I've been wanting to check out Philz and, after this, it's time. Will it backup the EFS data as a separate function? I found a way to do it via a terminal, but this would be simpler. Thanks for the tip on Nandroid Manager. Can it restore apps from a compressed backup, because it seems TiBU can't.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] tingtan:
Philz has tons of features including EFS backup/restore but I have never used it. Nandroid Manager can read CWM/TWRP nandroid backup, I believe their formats are compressed.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bruce7373:
Definitely checking out PhilZ. I took a look at NM and they recommend decompressing before working with a nandroid.

Edit: tried PhilZ. It's a solid option, but doesn't really add any functionality I need, mainly EFS backup. It appears its EFS backup looks for an EFS folder which the N4 doesn't have. But, still, always good to have options. ;)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] tingtan:
Philz EFS backup works fine on my phone, Galaxy S4 i9500, it didn't ask for folder. I used custom backup option.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bruce7373:
That's because the S4 has an actual EFS folder to back up which the program looks for. On a Nexus 4 the IMEI is kept elsewhere in a separate partition. I didn't see any choice to back that up.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] tingtan:
Thanks, I learn something everyday.

I'm sure you guys are already aware of this, but just in case you aren't it seems that twrp doesn't work for kit kat yet. The slimrom team has an alpha build up, but we have to flash CWM in order to use it.

Any chance you guys can patch the recovery without the manta 4.4 binaries?

I flased the ota zip with 2.6.3.1 and it installed correctly.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] adamjmtz:
Were you on stock 4.3 beforehand? I did a factory reset before flashing and got an instant "fail"
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] gialakias:
Yes, stock root. I tried with 2.6.3.0 and failed. Then I went again in 4.3 and flashed the 2.6.3.1 and applied successfully.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] rocky3:
Could I flash the OTA for kitkat if I'm on a custom ROM (Craig Gomez) using TWRP 2.6.3.1 and could you please share the link to the OTA Thanks
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dibblebill:
I have 2.6.3.1 and it just keeps hanging on wiping System or cache. It gives an E: Unable to mount /system and /cache. It seemingly does nothing. Trying again... Hoping to test a new build of my Omni >_>
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] b1g.p0ppa:
Just had problems flashing leoisright's pure AOSP from 2.6.3.1 as well. CWM 6.0.4.3 flashed it just fine though.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] gialakias:
No way. The ota is applied to stock system, kernel, Bootloader (locked or unlocked doesn’t matter) and baseband (when there is a sim card). So you have to return to stock to apply the ota or wait for your rom to update.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] shaker2k:
I didn't think I would ever go back to clock work but TWRP is really ticking me off.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] drewski_1:
Can you elaborate?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] shaker2k:
Twrp kept hanging on me and when I would restart it it would bootloop. Also lots of problems with it on the Nexus 5.

Don't get me wrong I love it when it worked. It's just been broken for a while now.

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] renegade7879:
I had the same experience. The unofficial CM 11, PA gapps, and SU binaries flashed fine in TWRP 2.6.3.1, but it did take a much longer time than with past versions of Android. I'm sure it will be improved upon soon enough, though, once people are more familiar with 4.4
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Darkchaser:
This is probably not a TWRP issue, I had the same problem on CWM 6.0.4.3 when wiping. I had to wipe using Philz, then changed back my recovery to CWM
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dibblebill:
CWM will eventually succeed at these tasks but also crawls along. TWRP2. 6.3.1 won't install my TempestROM builds

The TWRP source is in the Omni tree. Why don't you try to update the TWRP configuration in the BoardConfig.mk and try the resulting recovery image. That image can flash 4.4 builds. At least it does for me on the TF300T.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] dibblebill:
I'll give it a shot- I'm still learning new things, and this'd be a good thing to learn :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] styckx:
I hope they are aware of this.. This makes flashing anything a complete PITA.

manual flashing via fastboot never failed me.

just download the latest img, reboot to fastboot and use "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img".
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] hoseman1979:
Where do you place "xxx.img" It is on the root of my tablet and my computer and it relentlessly tells me that it can't find it or can't open it. My tab never says that it is in FASTBOOT USB, but my computer finds it in fastboot. My tablet shows the boot is secure in fastboot. I've had CWM on it forever and much prefer the flashable recovery stuff.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] drewski_1:
I put it in the folder with Fastboot because I'm too lazy to modify my Path variable.

wherever you put it, navigate to that folder before issuing the Fastboot command.

With my experience, it seems to happen only when clean flashing or switching from dalvik to ART or vice versa. Now that I've settled back to using dalvik, wiping caches in prep for dirty flashes are as quick as before.

Hi,

the OTG-USB (Fat32, 16GB) device isn't find neither with 2.6.3.0, nor with 2.6.3.1. Tried it on 2 Nexus 10. Anybody else who has the same issue?

On my other device (Nexus 5) it works without any problems.

I have 2.6.3.1 and is not problem flash any ROM but wipe system / cache is very slowly. On my N4 (2.6.3.3) and N7 (2.6.3.1) is speed ok. What's the reason?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] VivaErBetis:
I (all of us really) got the same problem, as stated in this thread:

There is a workaround in the second post.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Koetermann:
Yes, and for other devices there is already a fixed version available, e.g. 2.6.3.4 for the Nexus 5.

Hope this will also be released for the Nexus 10 soon.

Tried it now with a 4GB Stick. And this one is recognized. But there is not much diskspace for Nandroid-Backups on such a little stick.

I was on Purity and fancied trying official Omnirom, they have an update feature that requires TWRP to work. I have been using CWM lately to flash roms so this is the first time since 4.4 I have tried to use TWRP. I used 2.6.3.1, factory reset and flashed omnirom and gapps and the first thing I get is "setting wizard has stopped" when that went away I got something about systemui crashing. It was just borked.

Is there some trick to flashing I am missing out on?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bruce7373:
I got constant systemui crashing with active desktop enabled (N4). Was the setting wizard problem during initial start-up? Maybe something to do with the GAPPS package you flashed?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonebear:
No active desktop and no weird gapps, just BaNkS core.

I flashed the same rom with CWM no problem.

edit

but then when setting up my desktop apps etc I got a BSOD for no reason. Maybe it was the particular nightly of omni? Dunno, but I have given up! lol
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] bruce7373:
Maybe try using BaNkS Standard instead of Core. Reason being I ran into a problem when I flashed AOKP 4.4.2 with Core on my N10 -- Launcher3 kept trying to open and crashing. I can't remember offhand if Google Now is included in Core, but I don't think so. Anyway, when I reflashed using Standard it went fine. Maybe it's a similar thing with Omni.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonebear:
OK, thanks for that. :)
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] stonebear:
It worked. :)

Sorry TWRP.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] styckx:
How is the slow flashing/wiping still not addressed? The Nexus 10 is the best forgotten device.. Google forgot about it, and developers forgot about it..
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] trickster2369:
I don't seem to have any wiping or flashing issues on my N10. Agree, the development sure has slowed down. But there are quite a few good/stable roms too choose from.

Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.

Besides there is omni rom, cm and a lot more roms available.

I haven't tried to flash any ROMs, but I can clear cache just fine with 2.7.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] Syk69:
I tried 2.7 out but had to revert due to the issues of wiping. It appears that if you wipe using the setting of rm instead of rf. It wipes fine.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] damngood98:
for those having issues, try deleting the .twrp file from the TWRP folder.

this was recommended in the nexus 5 thread by another user. I haven't really tested it out on this but then again, dirty flashing weekly slim roms doesn't give me much reason to constantly do backups/restores....perhaps after the latest drops today i'll try it out and report back but feel free to do it yourself and let us know if it helped
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] maxal:
Hi, just tried what you said and it didn't make any difference I still couldn't restore an earlier backup.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jluva420:
I updated to 2.7 fine but when in recovery when I wiped it rebooted the recovery and after I flashed I got bootlooped. Tried to flash to stock with wugfresh and it wont work..... any suggestions?
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] damngood98:
after updating to 2.7 i tried updating my rom this morning (slimkat)....thought i had a bad download, tab failded to flash and wouldn't reboot...tried flashing last week's update, same thing....and now i can't even get my tab to boot period

ended up going into download mode, flashed 2.6.3.1 twrp, rebooted into recovery, flashed the same current update without issue and tab is running just fine now....2.7 is kinda borked for our manta i'm afraid.....no issues on my nexus 5 for what it's worth
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jluva420:
I got back up and running. Back on 2.6.3.1 however the initial reason I decided to go to 2.7 is still present. I don't know why but in recovery I can never get the usb to mount and transfer files. I go to mount it but nothing happens. I would like the ability to do this for transferring files while in twrp. I tried multiple recoveries but none of them mount usb so I can transfer files.... I have an OG razr xt912 on safestrap and that transfers files blazing fast. Comes in handy with transferring music and comics to the tablet.....
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jackgibbs:
I think the OP needs to be updated. The nexus 10 cannot use 2.7 yet. I had all the same issues as everyone above me when trying to flash the latest PA beta. Had to fastboot back to clockworkmod to update my rom

[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] lynnux:
I had a few bugs using 2.7.0.1, in the end it was fine.

It flashed Omni and flashed the zips in FlashAfterUpdate folder, no problem; booted; but while loading home screen I got repeated failure notices for android.process.acore, Calendar Storage, and Package Installer. Never saw this before. My calendar was blank, synching it didn't do anything. A soft reboot restored calendar entries, now I'm good.

I flashed the most recent PA modular gapps just in case that was the cause of the problem, I'd been on an older version. Also created a backup in twrp, no problem there.
[Nexus 10 Original Android Development] jluva420:
Does this version mount USB while in TWRP? I want to be able to transfer files from the computer while in recovery? Or am I the only one experiencing this. I have mentioned this but no luck getting it to work. My og RAZR in safestrap works great with safestrap which is TWRP based so I don't get why this does not work on my nexus10.

I'm successfully using the latest Manta version of TWRP on my Nexus 10, including both TWRP and Onandroid backups and restores. Initially the 2.7.0.0 had issues with the N10 but the subsequent v2.7.0.1 release rectified those issues.
