Just installed TWRP (2.4.3.0) trough gooManager, and rebooted to recovery.

Renamed my latest cwm backup (folder) with the file-manager and the recovery hangs. Says: "File Operation Complete", "Successful", "Updating partition details...". Nothing happens, Back Button and Softkey do nothing and the clock or battery wont update, and my screen got dark(black, backlight still on) while writing this post :(
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] CMNein:
TWRP and CWM use completely different b/u formats.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mahennemaha:
Sure, but i just renamed a folder with the file-manager inside the recovery, there should be no problem.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

Why are you remaking folders? You are trying to restore a cwm backup with twrp?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Mahennemaha:
AW: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

No, just renamed the folder.

Don't know what the problem should be, if there is an inbuilt file manager.

To stop the confusion with cwm or backups.

The recovery hangs if you try to rename a folder with the filemanager.

I've set up a test folder on the sdcard, tried to rename that folder, same happens like i wrote in my first post.

So its not related to cwm, or backups, or me trying to restore a cwm backup in twrp :)

After resetting the name of the folder has changed...

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

The problem exists in "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.3.0-mako.img"

It works as expected in "openrecovery-twrp-2.4.2.1-mako.img"

Maybe it helps.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cb474:
I understand what you're saying. If you try to rename a folder on your sdcard directory, using TWRP's file manager, TWRP completely freezes (kernel panic?).

You might want to send a log to the TWRP team, as the TWRP website suggests (found in TWRP's advanced functions menu). Altough I'm not sure how you get a log once TWRP has completey frozen. Perhaps it's still there after rebooting into the recovery? A more knowledgeable person will have to advise you.

Data partition is not restored with 2.4.3.0

It's like i did a factory reset. Rom is ok but all data is gone.

I am on TWRP 2.4.3.0 and CM10.1. When i install the latest nightly and touch wipe cache/dalvik after the install, TWRP ask me to fix root. If i do so all my apps that need root ask again for root and su FC. Restored backup, did the same without fix root and titanium backup can't get root. Restored again, installed latest nightly without wipe Cache/dalvik and no problem then, i don't get asked for fixing root. So why i lost root when i wipe cache and dalvik?

Edit: tried wiping cache and dalwik on CWM Recovery, there is no issue.

I normaly don't wipe anything when updating cm. So i can't say if it was also on the earlier versions. But there was a commit in cm like prepare for new superuser or so in one of the last nightlies. Maybe it has to do with it. Can i create a logcat like on running android and what will needed, the install and wipe process?

It's not working here. Tried twice today, didn't restore data either time. Thought it might've been because of the screen time out like someone mentioned before, so I made sure the screen stayed on during backup and restore, and still nothing.

2.4.3.0 working fine for me so far. Good stuff!
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesignGrits:
I'll be honest, no matter how much I love I have for this recovery....not being able to restore from a backup is playing a dangerous game. While using the Orange to create my backup and restoring the Orange backups through TWRP works, Orange takes alot longer to make backups than TWRP does and its one more app that I have to use. I hate to say it but this needs to be addressed if it hasn't already. Makes me wonder if anything else is broken considering TWRP doesn't even fit the N4 screen size, mounting doesn't work.

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] mpmilestogo:
I'm getting my Nexus 4 today. I will be following the CWM root thread here but wanted to check if others first flashed the CWM recovery and then used goomanager after unlocking, rooting or went straight to flashing this using fastboot. The instructions are pretty simple in that post and I'm assuming I can just replace the recovery part of things with TWRP as I unlock/root the device. Really prefer TWRP now.

Thanks for any confirmation.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] brianbgrp:
If you download the twrp .IMG and use that in the fast boot parts of the "cwm method" you will be fine. Or do it the way listed then on boot up just install goo manager and install twrp that way.

I got lazy and used the toolkit to root(rooted ally phones the real way...never used a toolkit so figured I'd see how they work. IMO its just as easy manually...maybe more so) so I had cwm...used goo manager immediately to swap twrp over and not having issues yet

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] kchino:
Flashed this and it's working great only one issue for me so far. In the UI of TWRP the right side margin is off by 3 or 4cm throughout, there is just black space. Anyone else notice this?
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Dees_Troy:
That's because the Nexus 4 has 768 pixels instead of 720. I have not decided if I really want to make a 768 theme. It's pretty close & I am not sure I want to have to maintain another theme / resolution when it's just 48 pixels.

I still can't restore a backup... Twrp for some reason just can't find it. I'm having the same "issue" as everyone else, where my backups go into mnt/shell/emulated .

Go to system settings/storage/misc. and see if you see TWRP with a size around 878(that's my stock backup size).. maybe it will let you know if it's in a different folder

[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesignGrits:
Makes perfect sense, the last two versions of TWRP does not restore backup files created by TWRP, there is still no fix.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] Stryder5:
It's already been explained why mounting doesn't work. We don't have an external SD card to mount... I think the screen size thing may have been explained (or a fix was suggested), forgot what it was though.

A few people reported backup/recovery works, though I haven't tried it myself.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] DesignGrits:
I know a few people have said that it works, but its inconsistent.

I guess if mount doesn't work for that reason it makes sense and I can live without it.

Will do a search for the screen fix, but this is for the N4 so the fix should be included in the op.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] ermacwins:
Ah shoot, didnt realise that format deletes the sd card. Thought it just wipes the phone. Now just lost everything. Is it possible to give 2 warnings for this or have that tile red instead of grey?

No probs
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cb474:
I think that ermacwins idea for a more clear warning of what format does is not a bad idea. I have not personally made this mistake, but it's easy to see how it might happen for people (including, of course, how it happened for ermacwins).

I certainly have the experience in the Linux world of some very destructive formatting operations requiring double confirmations or that you type out the entire word "yes" or even both. So it's not unreasonable to imagine something like this might be deployed in a piece of software like a recovery.

Of course, it's entirely up to the TWRP devs what they want to do. But there's nothing wrong with making the suggestion and explaining the circumstances that might make it a good idea.

After all, there are a lot of people flashing roms in recoveries who aren't necessarily sophisticated computer users themselves and the recovery is a powerful piece of software with a lot of destructive potential (and not always the most self-explanatory or user friendly interface--for those who don't know what all the different operations do).
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] rskyline:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.3.0 touch recovery [2013-03-01]

That's why newbies should read a lot before getting into this. Because for making a wrong step you won't only lose some data you could brick your phone that is worst. Sometimes is better to ask anything before getting into it. Is good if the team implement some of those things that are more user friendly but we have to remember that this isn't a product for everyone.

Dang, again! Created a backup with Orange but this time TWRP would not restore....using cwm until this gettings fixed.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cb474:
I don't think anyone is arguing that people shouldn't read and be careful before doing things. It's not an either/or. People should read and be careful AND it wouldn't hurt (the devs willing) to have clear, even redundant, warning protocols before doing something that can be very destructive to one's system.

Of course, again, it's entirely up to the devs. But I don't see why people need to jump on someone for making a perfectly reasonable suggestion, for a type of feature that you see in places like on the Linux command line (also not a place for newbies). People make mistakes. I'm sure you've made mistakes in your life. It's just part of how the world is. Taking that into account is a perfectly fine thing to do.

So putting such a warning feature in the recovery would just be a recognition that a very wide group of people use the recovery, most of whom probably aren't super sophisticated computer users. That's all. There's nothing wrong with that, if the devs wanted to do it. And there's nothing wrong with asking/suggesting.

It's because they can't monitor every single TWRP thread created. It's already been mentioned by the dev that if you have issues, you should report it to their github so they can investigate it. If you can't read what the dev posted in this thread, why would you expect the dev to be able to keep track of every single TWRP thread?

Either report the issues to the dev, along with a log in their github, or wait for an update here. You aren't helping anyone by complaining or demanding changes/notices.

Neither demanding anything nor complaining cuz As i said cwm does way better job than this thing. If the dev is serious he puts a note in the op so future(new) users know what to expect. Simple as that. Anyways my message was directed to the op, replying to each other will simple fill this thread with out of topic comments.

I am not sure and back to CWMR cause i got issues with root when wiping cache/dalwik after cm update. But i was on latest TWRP and the restore was fine for me.

I hope it will be all fine in some time, cause TWRP gives much advantages over CMR.
[Nexus 4 Original Android Development] cb474:
I've always been confused, having not tried this method. Does this automatically download and install the latest verison (or do you have to download it yourself first)? If I wanted to revert to an earlier version, could I also do that through GOO?

It's clear that both many people are reporting it's working fine and many people are reporting it's still not working. What's not clear to me is how prevalent (or not) the restore problems in 2.4.3.0 are. Is it working fine for most people and just a few outliers are having quirky problems? Or is the problem more widespread? In this thread, it seems about even, in terms of what people are reporting (but that's obviously not a meaningful way to measure the issue). I've been hesitating to upgrade, since backup and restore is such a crucial feature and 2.4.1.0 is working fine.
