I was going to post a remark about this app, but it looks like this thread hasn't been added to since June, so I'm not sure if this is the right place or not. I found this thread by Googling for "TWRP Manager" and found an XDA News page about it (From June 22, 2013) (link). So if this is the wrong place, or if a new thread exists, could you please point me in the right direction?

Anyway, I just recently got a brand new (albeit outdated) Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5. After reading about things like being able to make backups and remove bloatware by rooting, I learned about TWRP and this app. A video review on the Google Play store made me extremely excited about the possibilities. I even bought the registered/pro version of TWRP Manager before trying it. Well, needless to say I've had issues. When I try to run the LIVE BACKUP, it gives a little warning about not being able to backup to an alternate location (external SD card, etc). That's fine, I don't have one right now. Then it goes through trying to do the backup, then gets to what I believe is the last "partition?" and it just sits there. If I click on the status, it's pops up an error that TWRP Manager stopped working or something. OK, so maybe LIVE BACKUP isn't quite working right (I realize it was designated as BETA). So I tried last night to do the "Classic Backup". This is supposed to shut down my tablet, boot into TWRP Recovery, make the backup, shut down, and reboot back into the OS. Well, last night it shut down ok...... that's it. I couldn't wake the tablet up. I tried holding the power button down, tried manually loading into Recovery myself, nothing. I eventually had to go into ODIN (Download) Mode and reflash the stock firmware. So I'm back to square one, going through the re-rooting process again. After that, I tried re-flashing TWRP recovery, just have the system completely lock up again. Unable to power on or enter Recovery. Had to re-flash stock again. Needless to say, I've done this about 3 times now, and I finally have it back to working, with root, and TWRP installed. So something screwy happened, and I'm not sure what it was. The thing that started it all though was TWRP Manager and it failing to actually boot into Recovery to perform the backup.

Is this thread being monitored by the developers, or perhaps by somebody who is more familiar with how it's working? I'd like to know if this was any kind of error on my end, or if it is a problem with TWRP or TWRP Manager. Given that this is all a new experience to me, I'd be perfectly happy knowing it was something I did wrong. I'd just like to KNOW so I can learn how to avoid it. If it's the program, I'd like to get in touch with the developers so they can maybe fix it. :)

Does your tablet have a reactivation lock in security settings? If so, activate then deactivate It. Also are you able to use cf-autoroot via Odin to flash root?

[Android Apps and Games] ChewVodka:
I'm not sure about the reactivation lock... But yes, I flashed the cf-autoroot via Odin. I did some further digging last night and I think it's related to CyanogenMod. In another forum I visit daily, before I bought my Tablet, a bunch of people recommended I install that. Once I do that is when I start having problems. It looks like CyanogenMod is doing something with the Recovery. Some "googling" showed that there is a Developer Options setting that tells CyanogenMod to update the Recovery with system updates, and people are saying the fix is to disable it. Well, it WAS disabled, but just out of curiosity I enabled it and rebooted. Now I can get into TWRP just fine like always. I've re-disabled it now, and it seems to be working. So I'm thinking it has to do with that. I'll keep my eyes on it though. I haven't re-installed TWRP Manager yet. I'll also double-check and see if I can find that reactivation lock.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jimbomodder:
OK well at least you've got somewhere now :), personally I used th app to boot to twrp a bit quicker than power button and then do the backup with recovery. As for cm update thing what it does is replace twrp with cm's own recovery which will only flash cm roms and nothing else ( seems they tried to replicate stock but no one uses ). Any way there is normally plenty of people still in threads like these to help out, just may take a couple of hours or so:thumbup:

[Android Apps and Games] ChewVodka:
Yup. So far this has been a great resource for me. This tablet is the first thing I've ever rooted and actually messed with, so I'm still learning. It's nice to know there are people here willing to help that aren't all rude and act like things are 2nd nature and I'm an idiot for not understanding. :)
[Android Apps and Games] ChewVodka:
Does TWRP Manager require the latest version of TWRP to be installed for it to work correctly? To get where I am now, with a working TWRP, I had to install v 2.8.6.2 for my Galaxy Tab S. When I try to do a LIVE BACKUP, the program still locks up and fails. Trying to run a CLASSIC BACKUP doesn't work either. All it does is reboot into Recovery, but doesn't start the backup process. This version of TWRP works for me, so I'd like to not have to reflash a newer version if not necessary. But I need a backup capability. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] jimbomodder:
I believe it's a live backup error as I've got latest for my device but still it fails. Just boot to recovery and manually do the backup, it'll be the safest way.

Sent from my GT-I9505
[Android Apps and Games] ChewVodka:
Yeah, I'm pretty bummed about it. I bought the full version of the app so I could get the Live Backup. I went ahead and flashed the latest version of TWRP and was able to get it to boot into it just fine. So I made a full backup and put it on my external SD. TWRP Manager shows the latest version of TWRP is installed, so that's a good thing. Trying to do a full LIVE backup, been running for about 45 minutes and hasn't gotten past /system. I've had a bunch of cases where it's crashed or locked up, so I'm not holding my breath on this working either. I'm going to probably give it the night to try it, then I'm going to see if the Classic Backup is working right now that I have the latest TWRP installed and working finally. Since I blindly bought this app based purely on reviews, I don't even know what I'd be missing with the free version. It's sure be nice to have it functioning as advertised BEFORE be available to purchase... SMH
[Android Apps and Games] jimbomodder:
All you'd be missing is the non functioning live backup, that's all. I too made the purchase and never worked for me. One thing to note the app isn't maintained by the twrp guys, it's totally separate.

I sincerely apologize that Live Backup is not working for you. Please use the support button in the app to open a ticket and describe your problems. The ticket will come to me and I'll do everything I can to assist you.
[Android Apps and Games] ChewVodka:
Thanks mazwoz. I will definitely do that. Just in case you do happen see this, I went ahead an updated to the latest 3.0.2.0. But rather than use TWRP Manager to do it, and rather than use ODIN, I grabbed the flash img (not that tar) file and flashed it directly inside TWRP. I noticed it had the a boot.img and the recovery.img. I chose just to flash the recovery only and it seems to work great. I still can't get the Live Backup to work, but at least TWRP Manager's Classic Backup is working like it should. Probably something changed in the latest version of TWRP that Manager had to be re-programmed for, and it broke the scripting function for older versions of TWRP. Might be something working looking into. :) I think the problem I was initially having with TWRP not loading (black screen) on my tablet is probably something to do with the BOOT, as now that I'm still using the original that installed with the older version of TWRP is working just fine.

TWRP Installation

I am trying to update TWRP on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet 10.1 wifi picasso with TWRP Manager.

Currently TWRP 2.7.1.0 is installed. I have tried 2..8.1.0 all they way to the current 3.0.2.0. All of these either generate a failed message (executing update binary) or enter a loop (Flashing and verifying recovery). I have to terminate TWRP Manager in order to get back to Android.

Any Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] jdegreef:
I don't know about Samsung Galaxy Tablet wifi 10.1

picasso

. Is this a Galaxy tab 1 ?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1 3g (espresso3g / gt-p5100) and I've installed this recovery without problem.

I don't know if this might helps you tough.

Hi

I've got a Orbsmart S82 which has a Amlogic 802 chip. It should be compatible with official twrp-2.8.5.1-k200.img

All flashing apps I tried fail totally. These are: Flashify (hangs), Official TWRP app (flashes HTML data), Chainfires Flashfire (does not do anything) and your TWRP manager. Do you have any idea as to why? I simply use dd on a terminal app which works just fine except typing is a pain in the ass.

thanx

I can't find the button to do the (live) backup, any way I can get live backup with this?
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Go to backups and then look at the top. Should be a tab for live backup
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
I can get to the live backup screen (after pressing the bottom right cross),

but I can only select the partitions I want to backup,

I can't find out how to actually start the backup job
[Android Apps and Games] mazwoz:
Are you using Xposed to block ads? If so, it removes our bottom view which contains the button to start the backup.

Read the original post.
[Android Apps and Games] ReelFiles:
I backed up Boot, Cache, Data, Recovery, System and Android Secure, but it only gave the option to restore Boot, System and Data. Not sure what Android Secure is and I didn't see options for EFS nor Modem. Nonetheless the backup and restore worked, even though I just restored over the same ROM.

In the wipe options, Factory Reset could be renamed System for consistency with TWRP's UI.

Redetect SD cards also caused a crashed as previously mentioned.

The splash screen is nice but it takes a bit too long, the duration could be shortened.

In the restore screen the 'source' buttons would be better if they matched the rest of the UI's buttons and moved further away from the ad, I accidentally clicked the ad when I meant to chose External SD Card.

The File picker's UI is kind of small for fat fingers, it could use a bigger font, around the size of the current selection buttons at the bottom.

I love the concept of the app and it works surprisingly well for an alpha. I wouldn't even call it alpha, more like beta. :) Keep up the good work and I'll be sure to buy the premium version when it is released.

I tested on my Note 2 N7100 running 4.1.2, Saber Kernel 29 and TWRP 2.5.0.0 with an 32GB Fat32 SD

[Android Apps and Games] nicholi2789:
Awesome. Thanks alot for all your hard work!

The first time I installed it, it would open and say "you need root to use this app" then close and it never prompted for superuser access. I checked SuperSu and it had root. So I uninstalled and reinstalled then it worked fine.

I opened it and ran a backup, it named it properly and put it in my normal ext SD card folder. Restored it successfully as well. Worked perfectly! I also flashed a minor mod successfully as well. Makes it so much easier. Thanks again! I look forward to future updates!

I'm using a Verizon Galaxy s3 w/TWRP of course.
[Android Apps and Games] kingbo777:
Just did a backup on a Sprint Galaxy Note 2. Said successful. Did rename it but when I go to find it it just shows up as TWRP. In renaming, are spaces not allowed or what? About to try and load a new rom on it now to see how that goes and then restore the backup. Very smooth otherwise. Thanks:good::good:

Edit: Also, selected to use external memory and it still put it on internal unless that means that it is using the "external" part of the internal memory...if that makes sense. Lol.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
This is strange - I get a message saying that root is required - It didn't ask me to Allow Superuser permission?

[Android Apps and Games] Addiso:
Just grant it through the superuser app.
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
What I'm saying is that TWRP Manager does not trigger Superuser for me to allow it. I click on twrp manager & I ONLY get the message saying that it requires root access - nothing else.
[Android Apps and Games] Addiso:
And I know that and I'm telling to go to the superuser app and grant twrp manager superuser access? How easier can I explain it.

Same thing for me.

[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Well, I guess that I'm just not understanding something or explaining something - I've never had to go to the superuser app and tell it in advance to allow access. I've never had an app from Blackout Updater to Xposed installer - that I had to do anything other than open the app - see the superuser request - allow it. That and the fact that twrp manager is saying that I need to have root - which I do obviously.

So, perhaps you can tell me just how I can go to the superuser app and grant twrp manager superuser access?
[Android Apps and Games] Addiso:
What superuser app do you have?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
Koush's Clockwork mod superuser that's baked into the rom.

I don't know - maybe I'm having a totally brain dead moment - but apparently I'm missing something here?

Heck - I even installed rom toolbox - it requested superuser permissions - I allowed - and it is good to go. :what:

Ok - I think that I found what the problem was - XPrivacy was blocking twrp manager - I deselected the modules - froze it and it's working now.

Any chance that you're also using XPrivacy? I've got it working for me after I did what's in my previous post.

---------- Post added at 11:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

Ok - the proper fix is to go into XPrivacy and uncheck the superuser shell - then it's all good ;)

You don't have to freeze anything - or deselect anything in the modules.

Looking forward to the Pro version ;)

Ok. So downloaded a different rom to switch too.

Put it on my card.

Went to the TWRP app and went straight to wipe as I normally would and checked everything on there.

It worked fine but then it just rebooted the phone.

Should have I went into the Install option first?

My logic was, if I click to wipe I would then be taken back to recovery to do an install.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

If you go straight to install it has the option to do a wipe before flashing the zip

I was having the same problem where it didn't prompt me for superuser and then it would close. I went into SuperSU and it already had root access as well. So I just un-installed the app then re-installed it and the second time it prompted me for superuser access, I granted and it worked fine. I would just suggest doing a re-install. Worked fine for me.

Just became a tester , everything seems cool , running back up , so when you run backup does it actually take you to recovery to do the actual

backup? What is Android Secure ? Must have because when it was done it rebooted! No problem though the back up worked fine, Im also trying this out on my Kindle Fire (wth,right?)! Thanks BTW ,Im gonna try other features and report back (my fone is the Note!)!

"mount not implemented"

settings>Redetect SDCards

"unfortunately, TWRP Manager has stopped."

caused a reboot as well

Kindle fire no backup , I think because it needs to selct the backup program when it reboots ,instead of just rebooting into recovery
