Hello just na noob question.. what twrp version should i flash with android 5.0 ....can I flash 2.8.1.0 or 2.8.0.1 via fastboot ?

Flash the fixed twrp 2.8.1.0, thats the latest recovery and MTP works with it,post is here

Sorry man try again,please let me know if its ok
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xflowy:
redownloaded the rom. still the same prob.

but whats with the factory reset thing. that's independent from the rom.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Factory Reset is a wipe of /data (skipping /data/media). This basically wipes out any user installed Apps and Settings to reset whatever rom you have to stock settings.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] xflowy:
so why does it delete my stock os?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kwerdenker:
Most rom installation scripts do a wipe of the /system partition to ensure a blank state before copying their own files. If the installation aborts after that format has occurred but before the new system files were copied, you are left without a bootable system.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] smirkis:
download a different rom and flash it, obviously something went wrong. I am a long time twrp user and factory reset only touches user data.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] hsrn:
can i mount the "sd card" when i'm in recovery mode?

i know it's not possible with cwm because the "sd card" is just virtually there.

does this recovery give me a workaround to copy and delete files from the "sd card" in recovery mode?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
I think you will still have to use ADB in Recovery to do so.

Error in thread title

You may want to change "2012" to "2013" in the thread title. It's a bit misleading. ;)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] airchie:
Can anyone confirm mounting the SD in recovery isn't possible?

Why is that?

I'm assuming its relating to the /storage/emulated stuff?

Anyone know a good place to find more info on this strange emulated SDcard thing?

Cheers :)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kyokeun1234:
Because we simply don't have SD card slot. The emulator for SD card is only like a partition
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] airchie:
I don't think that explains it.

My One X had no SD card slot but had none of these emulated partitions.

My N4 has:

/sdcard/folders

/storage/emulated/0/folders

/storage/emulated/legacy/folders

/storage/sdcard0

They all look to have the same folders in each path?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] torsin:
The SD card., mnt and storage folders are all symlinks to /data/media.

After installing Lollipo, the recovery doesn't stick. I did fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

once you reboot the phone, it goes back to stock.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bombadier:
Try flashing again because it does work
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nycelitemaster:
Did it like 3x. I lose it everytime i reboot to OS. I am not rooted at the moment, but that shouldn't make any diff.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bombadier:
so you installed lollipop by downloading the factory images and running the flashall bat ? phone starts and everything is ok,you reboot to recovery and its the stock recovery? so you then reboot to bootloader and type fastboot flash recovery {recovery image}.img,you then reboot to recovery and you have twrp? you then reboot the system to recovery and its back to stock recovery ? Very odd and no error messages ?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] nycelitemaster:
I was on Kitiat 4.4.4 with twrp. So downloaded factory images and then fastboot installed everything manually. Then rebooted. Went bck in bootloader and installed twrp. Rebooted to OS. Downloaded hybrid modem then went back in recovery it was stock. I was wtf. Then i flashed twrp again. Flashed modem. I am like let me check if it stick. Then went back kaboom its stock recovery again.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bombadier:
Your bootloader is properly unlocked ?

Sorry I cannot understand what is going wrong,fastboot is giving no error? after reading your steps the one thing you do not say is that TWRP is installed at any point as everytime you go to recovery its stock,that suggests that fastboot is failing to flash twrp,not that its not sticking and reverting to stock,its just not flashing it in the first place

Does this new recovery have the ability to decrypt the phone in recovery because im unable to flash anything in recovery because nothing shows up under sdcard. Im running lollipop encrypted after a clean install...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] VivaErBetis:
I've my nexus 4 encrypted and now TWRP gives a password error when try to decrypt the data partition. There is a bug in TWRP Github:

https://github.com/TeamWin/Team-Win-Recovery-Project/issues/309

The problem is that the way Google used to encrypt the password has been changed in lollipop, for good because it provides a better security against out of the box attacks. So we need a TWRP update...
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] forever_lol:
sorry for noob question, and especially if it has already been answered. I've already asked about it in general section.

TWRP - backup folder is by default - /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/.... and not /SDCARD/TWRP.... This folder cannot be copied to the latter destination which makes it impossible to copy backup to computer. (root explorer is helpless too) I managed to copy backup from data/media to sdcard in recovery mode but... folder was invisible in the new location after reboot anyway. Anybody know how to deal with that? How to make backups visible (and copyable) in /sdcard/twrp....

(TWRP 2.8.1.0)
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] skidaway:
In a terminal:

su

restorecon -FR /data/media/0/

It fixed the issue for me...

edit: I did this with Terminal Emulator from the play store, while using the ROM. Not from the command line in TWRP.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] forever_lol:
Thank you very much. I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: Worked like a charm!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mynickname:
use adb pull

If you have adb installed on your computer, you can use the adb pull command

Before flashing TWRP, does the pin / password thing prevent other people flashing rom into my phone?

What I am thinking is that once I dropped my phone no matter what security app (Cerberus) I used, they can still wipe and flash my phone so I cannot track it.

So does the pin prevent this?

Is there any issue in the MultiROM manager or i have to update TWRP manually and henceforward will be able to update it through MultiROM Manager app?

you can`t see a difference here ...

multirom recovery needs to be updated to SUPPORT multiboot , logicaly you can update it by yourself but you won`t be able to use multiboot . you will just have an updated normal recovery

Today I got the message that TWRP can't write to my (external?) SD-card. TWRP should know I have a nexus 4 (since I updated TWRP to 2.8.2.0 using the app). I had to apply a patch within the TWRP-app. Is this really necessary considering that the nexus only has an internal SD-card?

fastboot devices (successfully saw my device in terminal, so i flashed recovery....)

fastboot flash recovery.img

rebooted into 2.8.20 successfully

but faced with "Could not mount/data and unable to find crypto folder"
