Using included sd?

That worked for me but didn't when I put a64gb. I formatted the 64 than twrp finally recognized and now good to flash anything.

As for USB otg, that's a no go
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
Aah! I put a 64gig in there. How did you format exfat or FAT32? I got a Sandisk class 10

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
I've been using it and haven't had one issue so far *knocks on wood*.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
Less knocking on wood and more switching to a different recovery. Juju won't protect you from software problems.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] craigbailey1986:
What issues? I haven't had any... works perfectly
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
Same here. I had no issues using twrp
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
What are the issues people are having? I have flashed base 0.5, 0.65 and 0.7 with this no problem.

The above issue with the 64gb sd formatted in exfat would be an issue in cwm as well; needs to be fat32 to see properly in recovery even though you can use it within the android os.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
From reading the exchanges on IRC, it would appear that installs don't always go well (incl the ROM's you list) and when they don't the recovery from back up doesn't always work properly.

whiteguypl, how would we uninstall TWRP, if we wanted to do so (rerun FreeGee?)?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
One issue that I have had is that the phone will freeze on ocassion after a flash. It's done that several times to me already. Thankfully the flash has completed before the hang, but it has happened to me. I have yet to try to restore from a backup so can't say whether or not I'll have issues there.

Is everything supposed to work, clearing cache and dalvik, etc?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
Now one thing I should point out with my installs, is they have all been from full stock post lgnpst. So I have made sure to clear all cache and data; I wonder if that is part of the issue people are having?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
My issue is Adb remount. My friend wrote a script to deodex or odex any ROM or single app. You decompile, make your changes, odex if you want then you can't Adb push any apks etc. As far as I know you need to make a flashable zip for recovery. But Adb remount is a prerequisite to even get started

Its also deleting internal nand when wiping cache and/or data.... for 2 people so far. I believe.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] inseconds99:
I made a restore using the clockwork recovery of the stock rom and have been wanting to restore back off the base rom but i've read that it will brick the phone. If I install this recovery will the backup from clockwork work on here and restore correctly or do I have to lgnpst back to stock reroot/unlock install the recovery then make a backup?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I believe the two are incompatible. TWRP backups won't restore with CWM and vice versa.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
Yeah TWRP has its own folder. I believe you would have to fastboot flash the CWM img then restore backup. I restored a nand I made on TWRP but not CWM. Just be careful

[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Twrp wipes cache and dalvik fine for me, but the big bug in my experience is that wiping /data wipes internal storage. Sk8erwitskil asked folks to wipe /system and /data to flash a very experimental ROM. It wiped, but it took my backup that was saved on internal storage out with it. There are no roms available that can be flashed from a full wipe at the moment. I had to lgnpst back to stock/start over.

The other one is definitely a known bug in that adb in Twrp is broken.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] carrett:
Didn't have either these problems. Able to wipe data without incident and adb shell works fine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deaf Mute:
You would need to lgnpst or try to get a flashable cwm (for this phone). You could also push cwm touch from adb.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] carrett:
If you select the "Wipe Data" option, it will wipe the internal sd, however it also warns you that it will do this on the screen where you swipe to wipe.

Factory wipe/reset/whatever it's called doesn't do this. Use that instead.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JohnCorleone:
This is correct. My other devices they skip data/media folder so it doesn't wipe everything. We are still in infancy of development on this phone. Pretty soon with an update we can factorey reset, wipe system, cache, dalvik like normal

Well add me to the list of people who are having weirdness with this install now.

I did a full backup and afterwards I went to reboot to system it hung indefinitely. I pressed the power button to get it to turn off and it rebooted normally. Strange.

I then used it to install the incremental Base 0.7.1 update and it also hung after it was done.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dspot:
Im in a bit of a panic. I lfashed base 7, then the 7.2 update. Now when the phone reboots, I see the LG logo for a second then it hangs on black screen. I can hardboot but can not enter recovery anymore, just goes back to black screen.. Any ideas how to bring up recovery again. I have backups but can not access. Any ideas would be great
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
Lgnpst back to stock. There are instructions in the root/unlock guide in the general section.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dspot:
Thanks.. I was able to do the KDZ method :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
There's a kdz method for att?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
I just got an OTA message from AT&T saying there is a software update available...? Anyone know what this is? I've had the phone for 9 days and updated it the day I unpacked it before I rooted. Wonder if this contains a software patch for Android O/S eating my battery for lunch?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
just got a reply from teamwin. twrp is now live in goomanager. meaning you can download goomanager and it will install twrp for you.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] davideholland:
Is this an update for the one we already have? Are there any changes?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
the only change i know about is the warning for usb-otg is fixed in the version i sent him.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] thebenshow:
Not sure which version I installed, came with FreeGee via GooglePlay and seemed to work fine, booted into TWRP and began a backup (no compression) to external SD "STOCK-root" was the name, walked away during backup and came back 20 minutes later to the device with the screen off and power LED blinking rapidly. If I hold any combination of buttons, the frequency of the blink slows for a moment but then continues, no power-up initiated. If I unplug it, no matter what buttons I hit, nothing happens. If I plug it in to power, the LG screen comes up like it is charging, but the charge animation never appears and eventually the fast-blink LED resumes. Any ideas what has happened here?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] PeterGuru:
1280 x 768 TWRP Boot Screen?

I've been using TWRP for quite a long time on all my devices. Personally, it's the best Recovery, bar none.

The other thing I do with each release is use my own theme, which is a great feature; however, with the Optimus G, there is one nagging issue. The TWRP boot screen still uses a 1280 x 720 image, and it should be 1280 x 768.

Any idea when this will be changed, or how I can change it myself?

Thanks,

Peter
[AT&T LG Optimus G] PeterGuru:
I think I had the same problem ...

I can't be absolutely certain about this, but I think I had the same problem last week. Fortunately, I had my device for only two days, and was able to return/exchange it for a new unit. I read here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2039707) that it might have to do with a battery issue. There wasn't anything I could do to resolve it, which is why I replaced the unit.

My only recommendation is that before you/anyone performs the root/bootloader unlock, make absolutely certain you have a FULL battery first.

That's about all I can offer. I hope it helps.

Good luck!

Peter

P.S. No, I did not perform the battery disconnect/removal as explained in the above link. While I'm quite knowledgeable with regard to Android phones, opening up a sealed device is a bit beyond my limits of anxiety/risk-taking.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
Ah yah i see what you mean. That's easily fixed. It's in the device tree. I'll fix it
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
upgraded my extSD card to a 64GB SanDisk class 10. formatted as FAT32 by Windows 7. cards works fine for everything, but when i go into recovery, TWRP is "unable to mount /external_sd".

also, the 'reboot' function doesn't work for me either. i have to power cycle the device using the power button.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
I have the same card and formated it in Win7. I am able to use TWRP with my SD card, but sometimes it takes a while after getting into recovery for it to be recognized. By that I mean, once in recovery I'll go to Backup, say, and touch the button for External SD, and nothing happens. After around 20 to 30 seconds, when I touch the Exernal SD button, it allows me to select it.

I've never gotten the "unable to mount" message though, so it's probably a completly different issue.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
mmm...i flashed the latest CWM and it can't find/mount the external SDcard either.

so i guess i'll try copying everything off my sdcard and then reformat using either TWRP or CWM.

joy.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
I mounted mine useing the stock mount option under Settings/Storage there at the bottom. I didn't use TWRP for the formatting or mounting. TWRP still reads it just fine now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
pulled it and reformatted again using the Easus Partition Master as FAT32 and now all seems well with the world.

thanks for the feedback, it did help.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Exfat works fine in Sk8erwitskil cwm now
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] SnowLeopardJB:
In irc, sk8rwitskil said that it should be relatively easy to add in exfat support to CM now that he has it figured out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
Yah since we will be using a modified stock kernel in cm it will be easy to get ex fat working
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
Sweet. that's excellent news.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Nastybutler:
Ditto. Although the wiping options can be confusing. I just soft bricked my Nexus 7 last night by wiping "Internal Storage." I thought it would leave my sdcard folder alone. Not so much. That's my fault for being a noob, not the recovery's fault. Idiots like me will always find a way to screw things up. :rolleyes:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Drewman294:
Haha, we all have those moments for sure. I usually just wipe cache and dalvic. I have yet to wipe anything. I just restore to an older back up.

CWM touch for me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
There are pros and cons to each. I prefer cwm only because its so easy to customize and I like koush's work. He's a good guy too so I like to support him
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ibub:
I have a different device (p500) and use a different version of recovery, so I'll try not to go too far off topic. But since you mentioned koush, I have a question. In recent updates to rom manager, support for my family of devices has been seemingly discontinued, although I keep copies of twrp, amonra, and an older version of cwm. Does optimus g still have support?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] sk8erwitskil:
optimus g does not have OFFICIAL support. but i support it myself. i will be updating it pretty frequently as things arise.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ibub:
Thank you for reply. As I was referring to lack of support from rom manager, this led me to a search for other methods of installing recoveries. Have found quite a few, and some in development. Maybe I'll open a thread and bring them all together (in p500 general, of course). Again, thanks. :)

I'd like to make a request of you if I could. I'm from the Sprint Optimus G forums and was wondering if you could compile it for us also. TWRP is our only "correctly" functional recovery and an update would be nice. We seem to be having an overheating problem with 2.3.2.3 and I was hoping 2.4.0 might solve it.

Can you put out a modified recovery for Nexus 4 converted users?

yah still flash OG recoveries if you want ext sd support. this one should work fine.

you may have to delete the first line of the updater-script on some roms so it doesnt check asserts

Why are you asking here? This is not E975 forum or TWRP. Ask in the threads related to your device and TWRP.

I get that they are similar, but seems there are plenty of differences to make ROM and Mods on E970 either incompatible or issues with E975.

You'll have to try for yourself. If you don't know what you are doing or don't know how to adb sideload the recovery image, then do some research first.... Good luck in the E975 forum where they have E975 phones.

I've looked around and cannot find a solution specific to my issue. If someone can direct me to where I can find a solution I would be grateful.

I have a Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S) and have CWM on it. I recently did a factory reset of the phone and after resetting, Titanium Backup (not Pro) is stuck on the "asking for root rights...." screen, even after Superuser Elite asks to allow it.

I've seen things that say to uninstall the updates to SU and I've tried that. I've tried uninstalling SU Elite and Titanium Backup then reinstalling and I can't figure it out.

I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to this, and brand new to this site so I'm hoping someone can help me with this while walking me through it if need be.

Thank you greatly.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Sounds like you may have lost root somehow.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ET5115:
That's what I was thinking, but once I booted up my phone after the factory reset, superuser was still there. Doesn't that mean my phone is still rooted? Not to mention, I've booted up cwm a bunch still after the reset? I'm confused.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamBringIt:
To be sure, why not download the app root checker from the play store? Then you will know what you got.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ET5115:
Awesome idea, I wasn't aware. However, I downloaded it, ran it and it verified my root access with no issues. HMPH. I have no idea what to do.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
DEFINITELY A RE-ROOT, I say.

Superuser is just an app managing "ALLOWs" and "DENYs". The real issue should be that you lost/broke your su binary in /system/xbin... If you have CWM then easily recover by flashing the latest SU zip package found at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ . Good luck ;)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeamBringIt:
Team Epic has a CWM flashable that should also clear any binary remnants and get you back rooted the right way.. You can then flash TWRP and all that afterwards if you want.

epiccm.blogspot.com/p/about-epic-cm.html is the site link...mught help you.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ET5115:
Well, you have all been a big help. I downloaded this latest su zip and was about to see if it was the issue. Right before I did that, I said "what the hell" and tried flashing via rom manager one more time. You guessed it, it worked. All the headaches for no apparent reason. However, I thank everyone. I'm a new member to the site and it's refreshing to see many try and come to your aid.

I'm a NOOB when it comes to Android development, so, when I try to run the "Autopatcher" and it fails then it's time for me to give up and ask for help...

Has anybody gotten PDroid to work on Galaxy S3 w/a JB ROM?

If not, I guess I'll have to see if I can figure out how to fix the errors. Need to learn how to make a COMPLETE backup of my phone first so I don't have to re-install apps next time I soft-brick/boot loop my phone - need my phone to run solid as my "Daily Driver" (don't have a second GS3 for testing purposes...)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I'm assuming you're using cm10 or aosp?

I'm not aware of anyone ever getting it to work on non-aosp roms since the original was written for GB. Unless there's been a breakthrough in the last month or so, I wouldn't expect to see it on TW anytime soon.

Hope I'm wrong though! I've wanted this for a long time! But if no one could get it on ICS, well, JB is a bit more....finicky....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] critofur:
Well I was on Liquid Smooth and that was good, but, I missed some of the Touch Wiz "enhancements" - but - most of all I read this statement regarding any non-TW ROMs: "are missing the Qualcom Optimizations which" which make a substantial difference in performance.

AFAIK none of the CM10/AOSP ROMs have those optimizations - greater efficiency = greater battery life.

So I recently switched to FreeGS3 R7.1 "Resurrection" and when I look at my Battery and see that I've been on for 22 hours with SIXTY percent left - WOW, I don't want to go back.

But every day, several times a day, I'm thinking to myself how much it SUCKS that I can't control app permissions on my own stinking phone! ARGH!!! I miss being a teenager without the combination of work/school/kids/wife that has a list of things for me to do 'cause I don't have time to spend hours every day on software development for my phone :( (I must admit though, I do sneak into these forums whenever work is not busy, so maybe I could do some but I hardly know where to start in terms of getting PDroid working...)

I've asked several places, but don't know yet - is there ANY stable Jelly Bean ROM that works with PDroid for T-Mobile (T999) Galaxy S3?

EDIT: I feel like choosing between "Qualcom Optimizations" and PDroid (not being able to have both) on Jelly Bean is like buying a car and having to choose from either not having the engine, or not having the wheels - ie: not a good choice to have to make.
