OK CPA, going back via you handy zips--:)

---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 PM ----------

CPA,

I initially installed 2.6 thru goo. Did you use your zip. Wondering if install method has any effect on the hanging?

Also, I saw on 2.6 it has some exfat fixes. I have an exfat 64gb card

I thought I read that 2.5.0.2 is ok with exFat also.

Asking since I changed my nandroid directory to ext card with 2.6. It was internal with 2.5

All nanfroids should still restore ok, correct??

Went back to 2.5.0.2 with your zip, all seems OK--:)

Thanks

Anyine notice the recover stalling at the twrp screen? Happens here and there.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :

Lmao j.k dude but I need a copy of the older version cause tbis thing is pissing me off

Hello, can anyone confirm backup option on 2.6 gives a Failed at the end? It happens when I was trying to backup my ROM, flashed back 2.5.0.2 and backup went fine.

backup worked fine for me--just was hanging at TeamWin screen

Do i need to backup preload too like on the s2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Lookitfast:
Yea 2.6 froze up on me too. Reverting back to 2.5.0.2.:crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
I think 2.6 will on occasion will freeze..but be patient once it sleeps USUALLY it will wake by finger swipe...

so Its not broke FYI....

and please give thanks to the TWRP gods...:eek:

TWRP 2.5.0.2 works (except format data which will make the device unbootable) so I see no reason to upgrade.

no issues making a backup on 2.6 but it takes a long time to update partition details after flashing anything.

Should I install 2.6? If not, how can I install 2.5.0.2? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] _eroz:
2.6 is fine for me. Haven't had any issue, yes at first it might be slow but as long as you are not impatient you should be ok. If you want 2.5.0.2 do a search within this thread, there is a flashable zip floating around.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
page 37 thanks to CPA--:)

some have had hanging as noted a page or back

was scary at first as it took me 3 manual reboots to unhang
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
I had to unfortunately give up on TWRP as it was borking my backups. It would say successfully backed up but when I go to restore it will fail. I had to switch to Philz which is nice because it can restore TWRP backup's and I have the one most important backup that actually works(StockROM).

I have been a huge advocate of TWRP and have used it on my GS2 i777 and have it on my gs3 i747 & Nexus 7 and used it on my Note II...never had any issues until the gs4 with m backup and restore functions. Don't know if anyone else experiences that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
It seems some have issues but most are ok

Also, long time twrp user

But, maybe better test a restore :)

TWRP 2.6 issue with samsung encryption

I still have this issue with 2.6 so I have to revert to samsung recovery.

device : SGH-i337m (rogers)

I'm unable to use Samsung encryption to encrypt my device while TWRP is installed.

Launching the encryption process reboot the device to a black screen for a few seconds then restart again to normal mode without encrypting the device.

As soon as I revert to a normal recovery im able to encrypt my device flawlessly (using mobile odin and flash stock kernel).

Anyone else having that issue ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] h3r3tic:
I have these issues now as well and I had absolutely no problem until I flashed 4.3 then tried going back. Before that I must have backed up a dozen times without issue. Maybe an internal wipe needs to be done? Idk at this point.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
So... 1st let me say I'm a big supporter of TWRP..

But this latest version is a little flakely my older back-ups act up when restoring with this version..

I have tried to back-up several times the finish says FAILED but after trying to restore they restore OK

the problem is the unknown!!

Has anyone had other issues problems?

I'M sure the developers need the feedback!

Requests: Would like to see the version reach out at least once and get the Date & time correct from the phone..(is that possible?) or maybe input on initial install how far out of kilter can it get!:crying:

Thanks,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] djmouse:
is there any confirmations of someone advanced wiping internal sd card by typing YES or that how it was,and not having any problems rebooting,and i see someone having problems backing up?anyone else having problems id like to maybe come back to twrp.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

was it saying your data on your backup was like over a terabyte of space, is that why it failed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
no, not at all... it did not have a reason...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
Yea, same here. First off I am a huge fan of twrp myself and have tried all recoveries for this device and other devices and twrp is my favorite by far. That being said, yes I also think they need feed back on how new 2.6 update is performing, so issues so far is the following.

1. Recovery boot screen gets hung on teamwin screen at times. Few times it booted right up with no problem but mostly hangs. Have to do a manual (vol up-home button-power) till it boots up correctly.

2. During flashing a zip of any kind, updating partition takes a really long time.

3. Restoring from backups does at times give you problems, either a failed restore or after restore having light issues with restore.

4. And of corse incorrect time.

As of now thats only issues I have found but will continue to use this version and report back if new ones arrive.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
Well, I used 2.5.0.3 on after everyone dumped it.

it was much more stable then this one.. I swear I could flick my wrist and it would go to the operating screen!:eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Lookitfast:
I concur exactly..2.5.0.2 is doing just fine tho for now. They will square it away I'll bet tho!:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Xetalx:
I was a big time TWRP user. Used it on all my devices for years... the 2.6.0.0 completely looks like a pre-alpha build compared to the previous versions. It feels like we are testing it... I lost time, data, temper and so on because of it.

Needless to say i went shopping and found way better. The New Philz recovery completely kick ass. It does everything i need and more. The newest build even support 64GB ExFat SD cards....

Bye bye TWRP.

---------- Post added at 07:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 AM ----------

Fine until until you hit "Format Data"

The rest was top notch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
Hmm. On my Verizon S4 I had absolutely NO problems with 2.6. However, on my AT&T S4 I get random freezes when booting to recovery which makes me have to hold the power button to reboot it to recovery again in which case it usually then boots correctly. The date and time are now an issue as well whereas I was able to install TWRP twice in a row to get that fixed on Verizon's S4. Also, no matter what ROM I'm on, after rooting, I noticed "Auto date and time update" when the device launches. What is that about? It's rather annoying and is making me think something got screwed up when using Casual. Might just have to return everything to stock and root the old fashioned way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] snakecharmer23:
Those of you asking for TWRP to use the correct time, I don't think that will happen. To the best of my knowledge, the S4 does not have an internal clock. It always gets time from whatever network you're on. Those of you on stock ROM will notice on every bootup it there is a notification that it syncs the time with the network. This means, unless TWRP gets the ability to talk to the network, you will always have the wrong date/time.

I think the best option would be for TWRP developers to give us the ability to manually set the date and time while in recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Lookitfast:
2.5.0.2 = correct time displayed;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
The Date and Time displayed just fine on my Sprint and Verizon S4 when simply installing TWRP twice in a row. Didn't have to make any changes. It gradually fixed itself within' a few reboots. Whether the ROM is stock or not I see the Time and Date Update on every boot. Which ROM hasn't plated a part.

Not necessarily. People have reported the same issue with 2.5.0.2 as well. In fact, it wasn't displaying the correct Date and Time for me on that version either, no matter what I did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
I had the same problems you are describing on my note 10.1. Discovered it was due to a bad sd card. I replaced it and all is well. Might be worth a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
Hope my new SD Card isn't "bad." Lol. That would be some crap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
I hope not too. I should have been more clear tho. Problems number 1 and 2 were what I was experiencing due to a bad card. #3 has never happened and #4 never bothered me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
Thanks for the input but I've tried philz cwm & other cwm with auto loki along with twrp 2.5 with none of the issues that I stated so don't think it's my sd card. Nor do I have any problems with roms with sd card so I just ended up going back to 2.5.0.2 for the time being because 2.6 is to unreliable for me at its current state but I really prefer twrp over the others so I will continue to use older version and hope that they get these issues worked out soon
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hlucky:
Hi guys,

I have a question for you.

I have a nan droid backup TWRP of stock.

I want to restore only the stock kernel. If I restore only boot it has only kernel or other things?

The other option for me is to flash it in Odin, I have the kernel in a. Tar file.

Thanks

Luc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
you can restore just boot.img and you will have that kernel

or, just get the stock kernel and flash

wipe both caches and fix permissions right after flashing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hlucky:
Thanks, but in TWRP backup I have boot, system, data. No boot.img.

Question was if in boot there are more than kernel.

Thanks again,

Luc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
I would imagine you are restoring to a stock rom of same version after trying a custom kernel

Otherwise you need to get the kernel for that rom/version

Also, assume you are i337 US

If so, it won't be a problem restoring the boot partition. And my error, you are restoring the boot partition from your nandroid

The partition contains some files and the boot image. Boot image contains your kernel and ramdisk
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hlucky:
Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Airtioteclint:
Same here. After flashing 4.3 i decided it was too plain and went back. Now twrp hangs and just booting my phone takes a few tries. I'm on cwm now untill this gets figured out.

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

How did you go back to 2.5.0.2 mind sharing?

Edit: nvm I was able to install it via romtoolbox pro. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, been at work all day "FUN". But good, glad you got it. If ever needed again in future there is a zip file for 2.5.0.2 that you can just flash in recovery. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Mike:
Just got 3 straight failed backups in 2.6. Thinking about going back to 2.5.2 like many of you. What was the issue with that version. Isn't it something to do with factory reset? I usually just use that accompanied with the manual wipes

Edit: I see I wasn't the only one having this problem. Looks like I'm going back to the previous version

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
No, the only thing that's wrong with it is under Wipe, don't 'FORMAT DATA"! The one where you have to enter YES to continue. Stay away from that one. Other then that you can factory reset, wipe data, both cashes, and wipe system. All is good other than (Format Data)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Oops, forgot it was Format Data--Sorry--:o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] force70:
Ive been doing ALOT of flashing,nandroids and restores lately and 2.6 has been flawless for me. As mentioned i stay away from format data although im surprised this has not been fixed yet.

Freezing

Anyone else having problems with 2.6 and freezing at the Team Win screen? I hold the power to reset and eventually it goes in TWRP. I have reinstalled 2.6 still nothing. FYI: I am rooted and still stock no ROM's/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CPA Poke:
Read through the last few pages of the thread :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
All of the information on how to do so is right in front of you...

From OP: "You can find more information and download links on our website!"

"Select the latest .img file from here

Download the above file. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:

su

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sloanster:
right it could brick by mistyping SO, just flash an older version with the very TWRP your currently on!!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] STVERDI:
How do I fix the issue of my phone just staying at the custom screen after every boot/restart?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
Switch to a different recovery and format data with media. That's what I had to do anyway. Not sure of any other method. You can flash a recovery zip through TWRP. Worked pretty slick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] DuMKaSD:
Does anyone have a zip of TWRP that I can flash? I'm currently on 2.6.0.0 and I keep getting an error when trying to flash any ROM. Tried CM10.1 and 10.2 various nightlies. I ger set_perm error followed error executing update binary. Tried doing a full wipe, factory reset, cache and the whole 9 yards. hoping reflashing TWRP will fix it, if not, it's ODIN after I get off work, but I'm stuck without a phone for 9 hours
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
4 posts up is a different method you can use.

Flashable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bo8:
Initially had 2.6 installed and used it a few times but the hanging-at-teamwin-splash happened way too often.

Using ROM Toolbox, I flashed 2.5.0.2 and noticed the time info is even further off now. In 2.6 I had to set time zone to -6 even tho I'm in Eastern Time. Now in 2.5.0.2 I have to set it to -7:30 ... wth?

Also, safe to assume 2.5.0.2 can restore 2.6 backups, if I ever needed to? :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Frogacuda:
So I tried to flash 2.6 with Goo Manager as per the instructions and I got the Yellow Triangle of Death. Is there a flashable zip? I have 2.5 on my system thanks to Casual but I wanted to update in the hopes that it would fix the ability to mount USB storage.

EDIT: So I guess 2.6 might be more trouble than it's worth anyway? In that case does anyone know of a recovery where USB storage works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jonnyredcorn:
TWRP has been giving me issues on my galaxy s4 and new Nexus 7 so I switched to philz on my galaxy and plan to switch to ODHUS on my nexus when I get home.

Odd. My time is right on w/ 2.5. I don't believe 2.5 can restore 2.6. I know 2.6 wouldn't let me restore 2.5 backups.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] force70:
Thats odd because I have restored 2.5 backup with 2.6. Havent tried it the other way around. It should be backwards compatible no?

Really weird tho with the whole time issue tho. Oh well, no biggie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Delakit:
My thoughts exactly. It has never worked for me. Not sure why... I don't even bother with TWRP anymore. Hopefully an update will be coming soon though. I miss it. :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Skizzy034:
I thought TWRP allowed mounting of usb-otg? It worked on my HTC One but it says "can't mount usb-otg" every time I try to mount it. Is it really device specific?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
Worked on the second attempt with my Rogers SGH-I337M. First attempt... went wrong? Phone froze, rebooted and Goo Manager crashed. Not sure what to say about that... But I am currently doing a nandroid as I type.

Love the feeling of getting recovery for the first time on a new toy. No brick, no problem, time for some fun!

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Skizzy034:
Usb-otg worked or just the recovery in general?

Edit: never mind, I thought you were replying to my post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Namolas:
Tried searching and Google with no pertinent results. I've been using TWRP for years and never really had a problem but for some reason on my GS4 when I boot to recovery it often gets stuck on the TWRP splash screen multiple times and I have to keep holding the power button to reboot until it finally passes the splash screen into TWRP. At first is was just annoying and now its borderline unusable.... ideas?

darn good question

I used the super simple swipe bar in TWRP I got from "casual" from adam outler who used drjbliss exploit provided you're still "mdl" and resisted the temptation to wipe anything else that required tapping "yes" and I flashed "goldenEye" with no add ons and couldn't be happier.

Hmm, was looking for that as well. Thank you.

Problem though... Flashed it via twrp 2.6, rebooted (prob should wave wiped dalvic n cache) now twrp wont boot at all.

Usually would just reinstall via goo and eepeat the process with the wipe. But this phone is new to me (2 days) and wanted to ask advice before potentially making things worse...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
hmm--that was for the att phone. on teamwin you need to find device for your specific recovery. So, that may be wrong for you. I haven't got into the issue of not being able to get into recovery yet, so not sure.

may need to go back to stock like we do with odin, but again not up on i337m

someone will get you the right advice though

you can do some searching, but wouldn't do too much till someone gives advice with i337m
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
Yeah, i realized my own stupidity on that one... I actually came into the thread to find 2.5, saw that and didnt think. My bad. Whats the odds goo will just over write my stupidity?

Anybody wanna throw in on my stupidity lol? An odin re flash is not a big deal, but would rather avoid, if at all possible :-\
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
You could try goo to overwrite or give some time for an answer

Could put your on thread on Q&A for advice

don't feel too bad. This is the problem with several phones in one thread. You can lose track of things quickly.

I still think a separate att/can/and active thread would help

It's not bricked so you can get it sorted--:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] celkin:
Goo corrected the issue. Nice when the solution is simple.
