Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

As you can see your SD from recovery, anyone can. You can even use the built- in terminal or Aroma one to browse SD files, or just flash a fresh ROM (or whatever you want) using adb sideload and then reboot to see everything you want...

Yes, a custom recovery allows a lot of things...........

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cb474:
Yes, it's worth keeping in mind that in the world of security protocols, many consider open source to be the gold standard. If you can't verify what the code is doing, how do you know it's secure (there are no backdoors, undiscovered errors, bugs, etc.)? Given that root access to a phone poses genuine security risks, it is especially important that this particular app be open source.

I'm sure as the new Superuser develops, the bugs will get worked out. Koush is a highly respected developer. And the new Superuser is not very old.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cb474:
Yeah, I'm not an expert, but I don't think that not many serious security people think obscurity is a very good way to be secure. Certainly the best encryption algorithms are open source.

i attempted a full restore today. at phone boot up, the home screen was the default nova launcher screen.. as if data was not restored. i look in my app drawer and i see that my apps are there.

in addition, my soft home button did not work, but the back and recent apps buttons did work. i get google play FC.

i tried a reboot to no luck. i tried to restore again, no luck. i flashed back to 2.3.3.3 and tried restore, no luck, same issue.

i've had this issue in the past and i ended up factory reset and starting from scratch... can anyone help? i used to be able to restore, but forget what version that was.

my data restore was split into 2 archives.

Zip files not found

I'm really new to twrp. I like the layout and all but am having difficulty finding all my zip files that I usually find or use with cwm.

Is this my error or do I have make some adjustments on twrp to get the same result.

Really appreciate any help. Currently back to cwm and would like to get this resolved so I can go forward with twrp.

I have the daylight savings option checked in my settings but the time when I'm in recovery will not change to reflect that. Its really not a big deal but just something I noticed today and was wondering if there was a way to fix it.

Otherwise great job with the project. Its all I use now on any device and have been for a while. Its working great on my n4. No more excessive heat or crazy battery drain. Just real fast and smooth recovery.

Thought it was just me. Happened twice in a row. I knew it had to be recovery related. BTW you forgot to mention the part about the missing lock screen. That's gone too upon restore. Haha doesn't matter anyhow, it's definitely unusable .
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
That's odd, I've restored two different backups with the 2.4.4.0 recovery just fine. I made those backups with the 2.4.4.0 recovery if that makes a difference.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

Yeah I've done several that have worked. It's been my last three that have been jacked. I didn't even care to try the third after the first two tanked on me.

I make a daily nandroid and delete the old one etc in case I need to test a rom or kernel or theme or whatever for someone or myself. Most of the time I never need to restore, but the last two days I've needed to twice and got burned. Lost me perfect setup Lol. No worries though. Spices things up a bit when stuff goes awry because then you get to investigate, and that's half the fun. :p

switching from cwm to twrp

Recently installed the pacman rom and it came with goo manager already installed. It has been hounding me about an update for the last day or two but I've been putting it off. From what I understand cwm (what I have been using) is not compatible with the updates from goo manager, but twrp is.

Is there anything special I have to do to switch to twrp from cwm? Is it as simple as clicking install open recovery?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] 420p:
Why would you want back to cwm? There is literally nothing that cwm handles better than TWRP. But yeah, it is not hard to go back.

It just sounded a little too easy. Have never used goo manager before that's all.

Don't worry dude, just click install, let it download and your done :)

Oh but back ups you've made with cwm won't work with twrp
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] VaksenDK:
Yes, it is actually that easy. Just hit install, Goo then downloads and flashes the twrp recovery replacing the former recovery. There is nothing more to it. Just remember that twrp cannot restore a cwm backup, so if you have some super important old backup, you either need to retreive the needed information before you flash twrp, retreive it some other way for example with TiBu, or simple just reflash cwm again should you ever need to restore the old backup.

Happy flashing. :)

Edit: Damn I am slow at writing. :eek:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bro1999:
Ok, so I was a dumbass and decided to encrypt my phone, not realizing the ramifications as far as future ROM/kernal flashing. :o

I am currently running CM 10.1 with faux123 kernal. Will TWRP allow me to flash new ROMS/kernals without a complete wipe? Or will I have to do a complete factory reset and start all over?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Michealtbh:

Can't you go into your settings and unencrypt it? I was able to do it back when my dearly departed skyrocket got 4.0
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bro1999:
From what I've read, it's a one way street. I encrypted the entire phone. Only way to 'decrypt' it would be to wipe everything and start over completely stock.

I saw this in the change log:

CHANGELOG for 2.4.0.0:

-Fixed AOSP recovery commands to run after decryption on encrypted devices

So it looks like I will be able to flash without a complete wipe?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] bro1999:
Woohoo! So TWRP will let you flash new roms/kernals even if you have encrypted your phone. You just have to select the zip files you want loaded upon reboot, and after you enter the decryption Pin, it will auto load the files.

Has anyone lost sdcard data when flashing ROMs with this recovery?

I did a full nandroid backup, flashed CM10.1, and can't find any of my photos or Titanium Backup files. I also had to move the TWRP backup files so I could restore my backup in recovery. I restored my backup fine but my sdcard data is still missing. It wasn't much, just some photos and ringtones.

Didn't mean to imply that they weren't. Just not in the usual location as discussed in this thread. TWRP didn't see them at first.

Guys I have an issue. When I updated to 4.2.1 used by the file provided by Google. I installed it using TWRP, and it was fine but when I wanted to go into Recovery Mode, it entered stock recovery I think by having the Android laying down on its back and with the red triangle and exclamation mark. Is this common? It happened to me before when I first got the phone and updated it via OTA.

So does the OTA from Google remove custom Recoveries and flash stock recoveries again?

Its not an issue but I just reflashed TWRP to fix the trick.

I also tried moving the TWRP backup folder from /data/media to /data/media/0 and move but it said error failed. Am trying to copy it now and shall see. Its taking time to copy.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kchino:
If you're on stock you potentially lose root and and you need the default recovery to install the Google provided update. If you look back in this thread booting to the os after the recovery flash and then rebooting back to recovery seems to fix the missing backup folder for some.

Yes. OTA upgrade will cause you to lose root. You can either reroot or fix the permissions on the 2 supersu files. Although I like twrp better I believe CWM now will keep root for you after an OTA

Does upgrading TWRP do something to the superuser app? I'm using Paranoid Android, that has Superuser built into it. After I upgraded to the new version of TWRP, booted into it, and then rebooted, AFWall was re-asking for root permissions, for some reason, although other root apps seem to be fine. It was just a bit odd and out of the blue and the only thing I had done was upgrade TWRP.

I am guessing the app has been updated so its asking for root permission again. I don't think upgrading TWRP will mess anything in your ROM.
