Hey guys,

I am note sure what exactly my problem is and if its because of my ROM or the tool I used, but I am not able to get TWRP running on my Nexus 4. Just a few days ago I unlocked, rooted and Flashed ParanoidAndroid to it using the Toolkit by Wug (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2015469)

When rooting there is an option to install TWRP as a custom recovery in the same step. For some reason that didnt work and therefore the toolkits option for automatic flashing didnt work either. But the toolkit has another option using TWRP temporarily what worked flawlessly. Now running PA stable and smooth.

But yesterday when I wanted to update the GApps package I realized its still the stock recovery. So I tried flashing TWRP using Goo Manager or another tool I cannot remember. Both said "Recovery flashed" but when I tried starting it there was stock again -.-

Any idea or suggestion appreciated. Thank you :)

[edit]

desiromeo - I think we got the same issue, but you had TWRP 2.5 before and I had stock

Hi.. I think I messed up my TWRP.. I was trying to copy the backups to PC and could not do so.. did not know about the 2.6 change back then.. so i went to file browsers and changed the permissions of the backup folder to something to see if it works.. and now I cannot create backup.. it does not show any error but says backup failed after it starts splitting the files of the "data" backup..

I think if i revert the permissions on the backup folder things might get fixed.. can someone tell me the permissions of the "BACKUPS" folder inside the twrp folder in sdcard..

Would really appriciate the help..
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Orphelia:
The backup folder has 'read' and 'write' permissions. Other than these + 'hide' there are no further permissions available using solid explorer.

You can try fix permissions in twrp though. Might help.

I think the UI of TWRP needs an overhaul. It's not very clean or modern looking. Confusing and disorganized.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
That's what the themes are for :cool:
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ChrisHRocks:
I got it sorted.

On the backup page towards the bottom it says storage. Press storage and it let's you choose the storage location. As far as I can remember I picked sdcard. (edit. Just checked it was internal storage)

After this the backup worked flawlessly.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] dima901:
My CPU gets really hot during backup.

Kernel tuner showd me over 80°C after a reboot.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cwappy:
I'm not sure if it's related to a compressed backup (although I am doing that), but my phone does something similar. See here for details:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2047453

In a nutshell, if my battery is below around 70%, my screen will go black in the middle of a backup and my battery drops to near 0%. This happens within maybe 30 seconds of starting the backup. I also have to plug in to the wall charger and wait for it to charge up enough to start Android.

This is super annoying. TWRP never did anything like this on my Nexus 7. I'll try unchecking the compressed option next time to see if that makes a difference.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] FSRBIKER:
That's EXACTLY what happened to mine as well, I have been able to make compressed backups since but my battery was over 80% each of those times. That leads me to believe its an issue with TWRP so hopefully it gets figured out.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cwappy:
Finally! This is the first time someone else has mentioned having this problem. Someone told me to use CWM, but honestly I don't like it. Plus with the lack of space on my N4 (darn you Google for capping at 16GB), I need the compressed option.

Is there a way to report this as a bug to the TWRP developers? Assuming it's a bug and not a N4 defect. I can't imagine what it would be doing to drop the battery like a rock within 30 seconds.

Updated to 2.3.3.0. I'm aware of the overheating issues that seem to be cropping up on the Nexus 4. I don't own a Nexus 4 myself but I'll work with someone that has one to try to shut off a couple of cores and/or reduce CPU speed to prevent the thermal issues that are prominent on Qualcomm's quad core. Hopefully I'll have another update for you guys in a few days. If anyone is familiar with how to do this using init.rc or shell script commands, feel free to PM me and we can work together for a quicker resolution.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kchino:
Same thing happened to me while trying to perform a compressed backup last week. I got the red light of death and couldn't recover from it. Had to RMA that phone as it wouldn't charge, boot or go into recovery or dl mode.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] apat183:
I can confirm i had the same issue while doing a backup, did anyone try without compression? I'm to scared to try again. I thought i bricked my phone or something since it wouldn't turn back on. Didn't expect my battery to be flat since it was at 50% before backup.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cwappy:
I thought I had a dead phone too until I plugged it into the wall. Plugging in via USB to your computer didn't work for me (got stuck in a weird boot loop). It had to be the wall charger. My phone is fine until I go to do a backup in TWRP.

I'll try without compression the next time I backup on lower battery.

so can we mount as usb device ? ive ran into problems where ive needed to do this.. i cant get adb sideload to work correctly
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Updated to 2.3.3.1 with some changes to init.rc that should reduce CPU heat. I set the max CPU frequency of all cores to 1GHz instead of 1.5 which should help a lot. Tomorrow I will probably switch to using Bricked kernel from show-p1984 after his source goes public. His kernel will have thermal based throttling and shutdown to further help reduce issues.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
Does this affect the custom kernels we install for ROMs?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
No, the recovery is its own whole separate environment. Also updated to 2.3.3.2.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ViViDboarder:
No. It's just the kernel the recovery is using to run itself.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mkamal23:
So I have rooted my phone but never installed a recovery. I know alot of people use the toolkits to root and install recovery... but since I did not, all i have to do is install the app from the play store and follow the directions that were listed in the OP and I should have a recovery then correct? So by doing this I can then go ahead and install different ROMS and kernels if i wanted correct? And to go into recovery mode do i use the app or do i press the power button and the volume up and down button at the same time? sorry for all the noob questions.

"The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:

Play Store Link

Direct Download

1) Install GooManager from the Play Store

2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions

3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery"
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rmkilc:
Yeah, if you are rooted, that is the simplest way. Use GooManager. If you are not rooted yet, just use fastboot to install TWRP. :)

Downgrading to TWRP 2.5 seems easier. Thanks though
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] sordna:
2.6.0.0 has 2 basic bugs compared to 2.5.0.0

Yes, that's what I did too. 2.6.0.0 gave me 2 issues on my Nexus 4:

1. The "S" permission on backup files which prevent me from copying them

2. E: Storage partition "//TWRP/backups/xxxxxxxx' not found

Updating partition details…

E: Unable to locate storage device.

Downgrading to 2.5.0.0 fixed both issues immediately, so I'm sticking with that. I'm not using encryption or any advanced features, just doing simple backups, so I was a bit disappointed to run into 2 bugs on the same day. First I hit the permissions issue, and got around it by chmod, and couple of reboots later I ran into the 2nd issue, which tipped the scale toward downgrating to 2.5.0.0

Let hope Dees_Troy will be able to fix these issues on the next version !

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Emama:
I just came from CWM and have some silly question,

tried some quick search and could not find the answer,

hope someone can answer

Is the "Boot" in backup means bootloader? So I can restore directly from 4.3 to 4.2 rom if "Boot" is backed up?

What does the mount actually do? When I get into it, it has X in Data and Cache..but what does it mount for?

Could I move files in or out from the phone to PC in recovery? Or it is limited due to N4?

Fake touches on RECOVERY !?

Hi guys,

I am experiencing FAKE TOUCHES on TWRP Recovery 2.5.0.0, which is sometimes so bad, that it wont allow me to install anything after wiping.

It also happens in the System. (CM 10.2 ROM)

I also have a thought, that it isnt a software but a hardware issue, something is fishy with the screen, i guess.

Shall I go for RMA ? please guide me.
