Galaxy S5 live backup not recognized

I purchased Live Backup and it works as a standalone. However, TWRP Manager doesn't recognize the purchase. In addition, TWRP can't find the backup Please help.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
I apologize, but the two are completely separate. The version in TWRP Manager is actually different than the one in the standalone app. When you say that TWRP doesn't recognize it, do you mean that it didn't show up in recovery?
[Android Apps and Games] nastypup:
I purchased live backup through the link in TWRP Manager which took me to the Playstore. TWRP doesn't recognize my purchase. I opened live backup by itself and performed a backup. TWRP can't find the backup that was made with live backup and neither can CWM. The backups that were made before purchasing live backup are recognized, as they were previously.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused. You purchased it twice? Once in the standalone Live Backup app and once in TWRP Manager as an addon?

When you did your backup, did you select internal or external storage? Did you have CWM or TWRP installed at the time? Have you checked with ES File Manager, or any other file explorer to verify that the backup is there?

I will do everything I can to help you, but I need more information.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] nastypup:
1. I noticed that TWRP had Live Backup (I saw it in TWRP Manager menu).

2. I clicked the link in TWRP Manager which took me to the Playstore where I purchased and instalked Live Backup.

3. I went pack to TWRP Manager and noticed that it still indicated that I should purchase Live Backup.

4. I closed TWRP Manager and opened Live backup. I performed a backup to my external SD card. I CAN see the bacup with ES, My File and Root Browser. However, TWRP cannot find the backup if I try to restore from recovery. I wasn't going to perform a restore. I just wanted to see if it were locatable. The only backup TWRP or CWM sees is the last backup I made a couple of months ago that resides on my phone's internal storage.

I hope that's clear enough for you to figure out why it's not working for me. Thank you and Team Win.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
OK, i understand better now. In TWRP (Recovery), did you switch to external storage when looking at the backups available for restore?
[Android Apps and Games] nastypup:
Yes. I can now see my backups when I toggle to ext sd in recovery. So the workaround is just to ignore the notice to purchase Live Backup (because it's already purchased) and to simply open the Live Backup app to perform a backup. Then, in Recovery, toggle ext sd card to find the backup to be restored. Thank you soooo much. One other question, Can I move the backup I have on the internal sd to the ext sd? I haven't found an app that will allow me to move it.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Theoretically you should be able to move it with ES or in recovery. I have never attempted to move backups, but it should work.
[Android Apps and Games] nastypup:
I can't even SEE it in ES! I can only see it in My File but it won't allow me to copy or move the files. Can't move them via USB, either. It isn't allowed.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Try in recovery. Go to advanced and then file manager. Hopefully that works.
[Android Apps and Games] nastypup:
That didn't work, either.

AT&T Galaxy S3 - app FC when trying to flash TWRP recovery

Hi all,

I've got an AT&T Galaxy S3 (d2att) that has been rooted and knox off. I'm still on stock 4.4.2 I747UCUFNE4 firmware. I went thru the steps to get TWRP installed (still on stock recovery), including Stericson Busybox, and I get a FC on TWRP manager after it downloads the image and begins the install. I did the KK SD card patch prior.

The app shows openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-d2att.img as the recovery version to install. I press install and it downloads the .img (again). I get the WARNING Ensure the partition is the correct one message (/dev/block/mmcblk0p18) and I hit Yes.

I then get the crash message, please relaunch and send error report. I do so and now am wondering what I can do (if anything) to get a succesfull TWRP install.

thanks for your help,

mikehd
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Have you tried to reboot into recovery to see if it still flashed? It may have just failed on verification.
[Android Apps and Games] mikehd1959:
I didn't even think to try... rebooting now.

______________update_______________

Interesting, it popped up a Press vol up to download a OS, vol down to boot. So I hit vol up and it shows:

Odin mode

Product name: SGH-I747

Current binary: Samsung official

System status: custom

Qualcomm secure boot: enable

Warranty bit: 0

Bootloader RP SWREV: 3

with a big green android guy Downloading... Do not turn off target!!

So all is well?

---------------update-----------------------

I'm an idiot. I did a reboot into odin mode... When I reboot to recovery it shows TWRP.

So all is well after all.

thanks for the help.

My pleasure
[Android Apps and Games] truckmann:
I like the idea of this app if nothing more than just for the ease of keeping TWRP up to date. However, that hasn't been working well for me. Most of the time when I try to select which Recovery version to install it just crashes. I had pretty much given up on the app, but I tried it out again last week and was finally able to update to 2.8.1.0. Now when I try and check to see if the newest version is available yet it just crashes again.

I have an S4 running Skyfall Rom if that helps any.
[Android Apps and Games] FletchF:
TWRP Manager is generally pretty unstable for me as well. However, in many cases the crashes can be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
[Android Apps and Games] truckmann:
No luck this time. After an uninstall, reinstall and reboot I can't even pick my Device Name without it crashing. :(
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
What ROM/Android version are you on?
[Android Apps and Games] truckmann:
I was on 4.4.2 Skyfall rom at the time. I've now moved on to Kangapop. I used a flashable zip to update to the latest TWRP. I'm not sure if this app works with 5.0 or not. It does start and let me select which phone I have without crashing now, although it doesn't seem to be able to detect what version of TWRP I have installed currently. I haven't really attempted to use it for anything since I switched roms.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Did you use an unofficial TWRP?
[Android Apps and Games] truckmann:
I don't think so. I used a flashable zip posted in the official thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57798929

Edit:

It looks to be all working now. I don't think I had rebooted into recovery after flashing Kangapop. After doing that it is showing the TWRP version I have installed.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Ahhh OK. That makes sense.
[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Hi, I am testing the latest version from Google Play Store on my Sony Z1c stock ROM Android 4.4.4 rooted and full access to the SDCard with NextApp SDFix.

1. After starting the TRWP Manager I get always the warning that it cannot write to the SDCard and I should patch this. Why? Do you use another patch beside of SDFix?

2. I have installed Z1C-lockeddualrecovery2.7.159-BETA.installer.zip from [NUT]. This should be enough or?

3. Trying to make a classic backup I get the warning the I cannot store it to the external SDCard. Will this be changed?
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
1. We don't use a different patch, it modifies the same item in the same file. Please double check that the patch is applied.

2. I'm not sure what you are referring to.

3. This was a change made by Team Win to the way Open Recovery Script works. We are working with them to get this fixed at this time.
[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Thank you.

1. Of course all apps can write to the external SDCard with the applied SDFix but TWRPManager does not recognize this.

3. I will wait and try later if problem1 is solved too.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
OK, I'll look into why it didn't recognize it as being patched.

issue withe live backup of data

I'm on HTC one M7 with CM12.

live backup of /data creates a data.tmpfs.win file which can't be restored ...

(backup in recovery creates data.ext4.win00x files)

so live backup ist useless :(

thxs for solving this issue ...
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
This seems like an issue with the way CM 12 is mounting the partitions. I'll try to put CM 12 on a test device to see if I can find a way to fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] Ue40:
... same with Lollipop "stock" GPE 5.0.1 on HTC one M7 ...

hopefully you can fix it, I have also an issue with encryption in TWRP recovery (cannot mount partition), so I can not backup at all currently :(

Before someone states, ist also an encryption issue with live backup - i testet it false before I encrypted the device ...

thxs
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
I can't help with things in the recovery, but I'm looking into the issue with live backup.
[Android Apps and Games] dvbgsmpc:
very cooool
[Android Apps and Games] tramp20:
Hi,

I assume you had no time to solve this :)

But I found the solution.

SDFix writes the platform.xml fix in an unusual format: Android does recognize it but your app does not.

So I changed the additional entry to the correct one and after a reboot TWRPManager starts fine without error message.

platform.xml after SDFix:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">

<group gid="sdcard_r"/>

<group gid="sdcard_rw"/>

<group gid="media_rw"/></permission>

You could now inform the author of SDFix or you can change your detection method.

I used this before and its awesome! I don't need to connect a computer to flash recovery.
[Android Apps and Games] Wileyworld:
Sorry, no search gave results of any help...

Phone: rooted galaxy s4 i545

Using TWRP Manager to install TWRP, I need to verify which partition to install twrp 2.8.xxxx

To: "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" ?

I cant find any info to make sure I dont brick my sammy... app shows "/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" as its recommended location, but I dont know how to go about verifying that this is the proper location. Can i trust the apps default? I just seem to change phones before I get too comfortable with the apps for rooting/installing recoveries/etc., so I'm always on a learning curve...
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
You can verify on Team Win's site. It lists the path for each device.
[Android Apps and Games] Wileyworld:
Ok, verified (less the terminal command (?) prefix which I assume the app takes care of). App says 'install success. Boot to recovery now?' Yes

'Unable to do normal boot

Odin mode

..... 0x0

..... 0x0

..... 0x0

..... 0x0

Downloading

Do not remove target!'

Tried numerous times to boot to recovery, with this same result when I select 'install custom Rom'. I'm not in TWRP, so what next?

[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Sounds like a bad image from team win. I would try going back a version.
[Android Apps and Games] Wileyworld:
Cool, will try that. Thanks :)

Edit: same result. Maybe it has to do with another line from the error screen I paraphrased in my earlier post:

'..... 0x0

Is your bootloader locked?
[Android Apps and Games] Wileyworld:
I think not, I have an open pad lock icon when booting up...

Edit: after further research & reading, I realized that I wa using the wrong method for my device (Verizon Galaxy S4 i545, Android 4.4.2, build NC5). Here is what worked for me:

To gain Root: Towelroot app. Kind of a 1 click operation.

To get custom recovery: st. ericksons busybox, terminal emulator app, and safestrap 3.72. For the instructions I used this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLHZfPwLkPM

I hope what I learned helps some others with the Verizon variety S4 that I have. Now I await a Safestrap compatible Lollipop Rom to install...

[Android Apps and Games] whitebait:
Hello all, hope you can help. I've got TWRP Manager installed and paid for Live Backup. I'm running CM12 nightlies on a Oneplus One. Regular backups work fine, but live backups are significantly smaller (2.5Gb rather than 3.2Gb, for example). It tells me it's completed successfully, but I'm not sure that's the case.

That's with boot, data, system and enable compression ticked.

Any idea why this might be?
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
This sounds like a difference in compression. Does a restore work properly?
[Android Apps and Games] whitebait:
Hey, thanks for the reply. Not sure, I haven't tried restoring it... I'll give it a go when I get a chance. Would you expect live backup to be more efficient space-wise, rather than time-wise? I think my regular backups take around 8 mins and live take around 18 mins.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Live backups will take longer because of the fact that you are using your phone while it's banking up (you don't get 100%of the processor). The compression does tend to work better though.
[Android Apps and Games] rcfcyl:
Live backups not working CM12 TRLTETMO any nighlies. Freezes at "Backing up /system" nothing happens after that. No indication of time remaining given. Classic backup works as expected.
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Do you have xposed installed?
[Android Apps and Games] rcfcyl:
Tried both. It worked once I think with xppsed active but it seems to just randomly stop now without saying backup completed successfully.

Has anything else changed on your device? New kernel, updated ROM, busybox update? would you be able to send me a logcat?

Who know if live backup works on Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C?

---------- Post added at 03:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

the same issue on stock 5.0.1 Note 4 SM-N910C
[Android Apps and Games] whitebait:
Just tried the new version of TWRP manager. Did a live backup and for the first time it went through without hanging and completed in 19 mins.

I've had a look at the files it created and compared them to the files from the normal TWRP recovery:

TWRP recovery

boot.emmc.win

data.ext4.win000

data.ext4.win001

data.ext4.win002

data.ext4.win003

data.info

recovery.log

system.ext4.win

system.info

Live backup

boot.emmc.win

boot.emmc.win.md5

data.ext4.win

data.ext4.win.md5

system.ext4.win

system.ext4.win.md5

From what I've read and been told, I'd expect live backup to be more efficient, so could understand why I wouldn't get 4x data.ext4.win files, but...

a) why would I get md5 files when I'd unticked it on live backup?

b) why wouldn't I get system.info, recovery.log and data.info with live backup?

Haven't tried restoring the live backup, shall I give it a go or could it break something?

Edit: This is with Oneplus One running latest CM12 nightly. I've noticed the above previously when it's tried to create a live backup though.
[Android Apps and Games] whitebait:
Following my post above I dirty flashed cm12.1, decided to return to 12 but the live backup I made didn't work. Started by saying it was restoring something like 135647829874658mb of data. Seemed to complete alright (after restoring 5874mb or thereabouts) but then wouldn't get beyond cm12 boot animation. Looks like I'm stuck with 12.1 then...

I installed TWRP Manager to upgrade TWRP but it simply did not work. I managed to install 2.8.6.0 from fastboot.

I have Android 4.3 (rooted, Android Revolution) and TWRP Manager tries to install the SD Card patch which I believe is not required for 4.3.

All reboot to functions (reboot to recovery, reboot device, reboot to bootloader) do not work. Nothing happens. Can anyone help?

[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
This is because Team Win doesn't make the recovery for your device. Unfortunately, since we only make apps, we have no control over what devices get supported.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 PM ----------

I apologize, do you have busybox installed? If so, which busybox?

Please check your superuser app to see if TWRP Manager is listed in there anywhere. Also check blocked.

For the version, please delete /cache/recovery and then reboot to recovery and clear the cache. Once that is complete, reboot back to Android and open the app to see if the information is there.

Are you running xposed at all?
[Android Apps and Games] KeithLM:
Every link I've followed to the Play store and every search I've done there has come up empty. Is there some other place I can download the official apk now?

I followed a link off the twrp home page to instructions for my device that included a link to another site that had a direct download, but even that was broken.

Google removed us. We reuploaded a new version that removed SELinux switching option. We should be back up in the next few hours.
[Android Apps and Games] KeithLM:
Ah, thanks for the info. I did a clean flash a while back and was looking to update. As is typical of Android (at least in my experience) only a seemingly random selection of apps ever gets reinstalled on initial setup and this app was not included. I was getting pretty confused when I couldn't find the app I was certain I had used before for managing the updates.

Update: I saw that it's back and installed it. Got it to replace whatever recovery CM installed with TWRP so I can update like I used to. Thanks so much.
