Ok, I'm using the same terminal. What is written under location when you click on properties of recovery.img in root explorer? It shoud be as followed on CM10.2:

/storage/emulated/0

And the permissions should be like this:

rw-rw-r--

[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
Well, then check, if you have the folder /dev/block in your root and if there is a file called mmcblk0p1.

MultiRom capability

Hi gordon0001, there is a modified version from TWRP (with MultiRom capability) by Adam77Root, but its a bit old, it cant backup secondary roms...

In his thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2405824), there is no movement anymore, so I would like to ask you if its possible to "modify" the TWRP 2.6.3.0 with the actual MultiRom patches (see here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2011403).

I dont know how difficult it is and I dont want to claim to much, but it would be nice, if we at least could make a backup of secondary roms. :fingers-crossed:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] negativman:
After entering the "su" is the status root@android:/

I sorted out the problem. If you unlock the bootloader I put CWM RECOVERY 6.0.3.1, and it turned out to be locked Rom Manager. I have made a recovery CWM-Recovery 6.0.4.3, and then through the Terminal installed TWRP.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sir_fz:
So I get it I can install this using the second method without unlocking the bootloader?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Afro:
no. unlocking the bootloader is always required for a real custom recovery like this one...

otherwise you will get an error if you try to boot into recovery.

Is this still the newest TWRP for our P880 ?

Is it necessary to make a newer one with respect to latest developments esp. for kitkat in last few day/weeks ? :confused:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
It's more than a month old now, but yes, it's the latest. Users have reported though that it isn't capable of flashing roms below 4.4.

Laufer's CWM works pretty well for 4.4 too, I'm personally using that at the moment.

I have installed both recovery program's, twrp and cwm 6.0.4.5. Now I want to keep only the twrp. How can I remove the cwm 6.0.4.5?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Keltek:
You must be a Chuck Norris, coz both recovery images use same partition so there is impossible to have both installed, but as I see, it is almost impossible :D

So don't worry, just install the TWRP and use it. No CWM uninstallation required - if you don't mean the ROM Manager - just simply uninstall it as normal application.

twrp 2.6.0.0 fails at flashing android 4.4 roms, but twrp 2.6.3.0 is able to flash it.

my improved version of twrp also does include this bugfixes and also my twrp runs alot more smooth and faster. the device doesnt heat up and doesnt eat alot of battery compared to the original official twrp sources
[LG Optimus 4X HD] EB20XY:

Can I get a flashable zip file if possible?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] creativeusernamea:
Hi,

I've flashed a few roms using TWRP 2.6.3.0 and have had no problems whatsoever, it works fine :) This does mean that my phone is getting filled up with zip files of these other roms though, that I'd quite like to delete now. I made backups of each installation before flashing a new one, so each of these zips has a backup of my system while using it. If I delete the zips will I still be able to restore these backups, or do I need to keep them?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
How do you want to restore a backup without the zip-file? :silly:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] creativeusernamea:
I want to delete the zip file I installed the rom from. Is this included in the backup?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
Ah, okay, now I got what you mean. You can delete the original ROM-zip-file, as long as you keep the backup-file.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] gordon0001:
updated to 2.8.3.0 (after a long time, but i still love the x3)

Changelog/Tweaks I made:

I used TWRP 2.6.3.0 for a very long time, and I'm very satisfied with it. Still works very well.

Now, TWRP 2.8.3.0 has some new features, like MTP support. It also shows CPU Temp and a more detailed backup/restore process is shown.

I applied all the tweaks that I also applied to 2.6.3.0.

I also added a way to toggle between /data/media and /data/media/0. Press the button in the Advanced page and check the console/log box. Now you can restore or backup to /data/media or /data/media/0

This is a beta (version). I just started to work yesterday on it, but everything should work like it should work.

No, you don't have to reflash anything as long as you don't wipe anything before flashing TWRP. And it isn't necessary to wipe anything before flashing TWRP.

Also i read somewhere that i need specific version to be able to flesh 4.4.x roms ? What whould you suggest twrp or cwm ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
I always download the actual image file directly from the link on the developers site:

http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/p880

Then I flashed it using terminal app on the device with the following commands, right after having placed the image file on the root of internal sd and having renamed it "recovery.img" :

su

cat /sdcard/recovery.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

As soon as you are on actual TWRP, you can flash the further updates of the image file directly out of the recovery, so you don't have to use the terminal and the commands anymore then.

Skipped the question to Q&A
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rtunner:
I'm using 2.7.1 TWRP. I entered it to update but didn't found the way to do that. Renamed img to recovery.img and selected install on TWRP but it just select zip files. Could you help me with that? and BTW I downloaded the 2.8.5 version. Is that ok?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
You can't flash img-files as recovery with v2.7.1.0, this function was implemented in v 2.8.5.0 afaik. So you have to do it the "old" way with terminal. You already quoted my post above, in which I described how to do that. But theres no reason to flash v2.8.5.0, just flash the latest version 2.8.6.0!
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rtunner:
Where do I find for download? I wasn't able to find on the links provided. :confused:

ps.: I'm typing the comands to flash the recovery.img but the terminal answers me the following:

recovery.img: not found

But I put recovery.img on both internal ans external memories.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
There you go, mate!

https://dl.twrp.me/p880/

Your device is rooted and you granted the terminal app root access, right?

Of course you have to rename your img-file to "recovery.img" and put it to the root of your internal sdcard.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rtunner:
Thank you for the download link and yes, I have a rooted device and granted permission forever to the terminal emuladot.

Will try again with this new version.

edit.: same 'recovery.img: not found' message.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
Did you put the image in the root of internal sd-card?

So not in a folder downloads? And you renamed it tot recovery?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
You should attach screenshots of your file manager showing the img-file in the root of internal sd and the full text you typed in terminal emulator. It just has to work, if you really did erverything the way I told you to do.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rtunner:
Yes. I did put it in the root of internal and external just to be sure. Renamed it too.

I took some screenshots of the process. What can I be doing wrong? I was pretty atencious about the steps.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] moneyvirus:
I think your command sdcard is not correct i think it should be sdcard0 or sdcard1
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rtunner:
Tried sdcard0 and sdcard1 with no success.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tool_king:
There has to be a space after "cat" and before and after ">" as well.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rtunner:
Thanks. Tried that and after I pressed Enter it didn't give me 'not found' instead no answer at all. It just jumped to the other line with nothingbetween. Is That ok?

edit.: I rebooted and its updated. Thank you guys. You people were really helpfull.

In a rush to install custom roms I think I have made a little bit of a boob.

After flashing the CWClockworkmod onto my device then realising it was locking up after entering recovery mode, it appears that I have flashed the mod for the 9500 rather than the 9505.

My device works perfectly however it just won't go into recovery, have I screwed it up or can I just flash again with the correct file for this phone providing the is one?

This is a great idea. I wonder if it will be more effective than using apps that strip permissions?

Currently I have an app that can strip permissions/ads permanently by rebuilding the apk with those permissions and ads removed and reinstalling a custom modified version of the app instead.

I think incognito mode is to prevent apps from snooping on you and not the NSA
[Nexus 4 General] ak700:
Tried Incognito on a early CM build. First of all, NO, it does not prevent the NSA from snooping data. That happens on the website's servers and not on your device.

Secondly, incognito mode, just emulates that you have no contacts, pictures, calendar appointments etc. This for those apps, like facebook, which check the above mentioned stuff and push back to their servers for "data" resource. This is also a great way to prevent those malware loathed apps.

Hats off to Steve and the CM team for this.

[HTC Droid DNA] pitchinnate:
Just wondering what kernels people are running on NOS m7 v2.0.3 it comes with the stock kernel. From reading thread it seems like a lot of people are using Beastmode kernel and a few people are using crpalmer kernel. Any advantages of one over the other? Will one work better than the other?
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Beastmode is faster IMO, benchmarks higher, overclocks to 1.9, has more options, it also has sweep2wake and the flashy button thingy, and USB drives mount automatically without a third party app. It doesn't have the best battery life but it's not bad either. It seems to get unstable for me when I put the lowest frequency at 192 mhz.

Crpalmers kernel is more of the opposite approach. Reliability, battery life, and improving upon all the faults of htc's stock kernel. The battery life is pretty unreal ppb this kernel. It's completely stable at any frequency with any governor. It doesn't have any extra frills though like sweep2wake or extreme overclocking.

Both of them are excellent kernels it's really just personal taste. I would recommend trying both for a few days and seeing which you prefer.
[HTC Droid DNA] pitchinnate:
Yeah I have been on crpalmer's for a couple days and so far have thought has done great. Not really into overclocking on my phone since I don't really using it for gaming or anything CPU intensive right now. Thanks for the input.

I got my Note 2 last week. Whenever I have WiFi turned on the download arrow is always lit up and looks like it is constantly downloading and killing my battery if I let it sit. If I am on 4G, it seems fine. I read a post that it may be the new update to the Play store but I'm not sure. Anyone else have this issue? Only apps I have on there are the stock ones along with a couple of games. I'm not rooted. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rbowen87:
For the most part mine doesn't "constantly" download/upload on WiFi, but it is close, which I think with mine it is because I have several different things that backup and they are all set to only backup on WiFi. Pictures to DropBox & Google+, Music to Play Music, Contacts/Calendar to FB & Google, Shopping Lists / Notes, Google Backup, GoSMS Backup. Since I can't manage to go a full day without taking at least 20+ pictures, getting a new song or two, 100 or so text, 20 or so MMS, and adding/changing all kinds of appointments and schedules my phone stays busy for a good 2-3+ hours syncing and backing things up once I connect to WiFi (Yes I have a crappy connection). After that though it settles down unless it starts updating apps or unless I start Airdroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Radiman:
Thanks for replying. However, in your case, you are mostly uploading data. In my case, on WiFi, it is always downloading for no reason. I checked the data usage on WiFi and it shows the App Store is responsible for most, if not all of my data usage when WiFi is on. Now, I have downloaded a few apps in the last week but it shows the App Store has used over 600MB of data under WiFi which I know is no where near the total size of the apps I have downloaded. Again, this only happens when WiFi is on.

Yeah, it was like that shortly after the initial find. Considering though that you need the play store app to install any of it though it makes sense that they would just hide it while they investigate it themselves.
