[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
There is no such thing as a "safe" flash of any firmware on any device. There are always risks. Check out the amaze unbricking project thread in the dev section and you'll see what can happen if not careful or if something goes haywire.

You only need s-off if you're either not on a T-Mobile US model or if the ROM you're flashing is based on a non-T-Mobile US ROM (like ViperAmaze). If you try a sourced based ROM (like CM, evervolv, or PACman) as long as you already had ICS and more importantly, the latest radio for ICS beforehand no need for s-off either.

Regardless if you remain s-on, you need 4ext recovery with smart flash enabled (other recoveries won't work) and an understanding of adb in case the kernel doesn't flash in update. If kernel doesn't flash you'll softbrick, but can rescue by flashing kernel with adb from your computer.

Generally, having s-off makes flashing a lot easier and gives you more options, but at the risk of possible low-level corruption to important partitions like the radio or imei data should a bad flash occur.

I hope this helps clarify things.

I noticed that the clock in TWRP 2.5.0.2 is reporting the incorrect time. Is anyone else seeing this? Any work around? For now I am entering the file names manually.

I would also love a way to kick off a NANDROID from an Android application that could launch TWRP. I used to do this with ROM Manager and CWM. Anyone know if this is possible with TWRP?

I moved to TWRP because CWM did not support my 64 GB SD card unless I formatted it to EXT4.

Thanks,

Scott

EDIT: I just checked my phone while it is backing up. TWRP is reporting the time as 7:51 pm. Its 11:37 am in Boston!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wolfgrrl:
I too have noticed this. It also says the year is 1970 on my phone! Now if we only had something as sweet as the S4 in 1970.......I'm entering it manually too.

Reinstall TWRP using GooManager. It'll work itself out eventually. I always install TWRP, boot into recovery, reboot system, reinstall TWRP again and let it be. Corrects itself by the next ROM flash. Always worked for me anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I have GooManager 2.12 installed, but am not that familiar with using it. I Looked in Setting and Browse all files for anything related to TWRP and could not find it. Can you provide me a bit more guidance on using GooManager to reinstall TWRP such as where to look?

thanks

Scott

EDIT: Never mind I found a tutorial, http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-install-twrp-on-rooted-galaxy-s4-using-goo-manager/

Do I get to pick what version of TWRP gets installed. I am okay with 2.5.0.2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Delakit:
Last I checked 2.6.0.0 is out and that's what I have installed as of 10 minutes ago. I have yet to have any issues with it. There are places you can look to find the older versions and flash those but I don't remember where those are located exactly. I know it's affiliated with the TWRP website.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I installed TWRP 2.6.0. 0 via GooManager and the date and time are still incorrect.

I have tried backing up multiple NANDROIDs and the date/times are all wrong.

Now what?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Delakit:
Whenever I install twrp I install it twice in a row and if works out fine for me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I just reinstalled TWRP 2.6 twice in a row via GooManager. Upon a reboot to recovery the time is still incorrect. Do you reboot in between the double install of TWRP? How are you installing TWRP?

I would really like to fine a way for TWRP to report the correct date and time. All suggestion are welcome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swieder711:
I found a work around which is to install the application ROM toolbox. This lets me create a NANDROID from an Android application. It picks up the correct date and time and feeds that information to TWRP! Yeah.

EDIT: ROM Toolbox picks up the correct date and time for the NANDROID file name. The date and time stamp on the file itself is still wrong.

Goomanager, reboot in to recovery, setting, and change the time zone. Every time when I do a nandroid back I rename the backup like HDRLS 14 2-20-14. This is the way I rename the backup...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TankiFrench:
Hello, i know that post is pretty old, but to fix that : boot in TWRP, settings, time zone, select your time zone and it fixed :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pantelos23:
I had the same problem, but I guess it starts when flashing TWRP on a device that has not the right date/time set before flashing TWRP. (I was too eager to change ROM on my device, so I never bothered to set time/date on the device's initial system before flashing TWRP - That's why many other users do not have any problem at all with time/date of TWRP, they simply used their device already with the right time set before flashing TWRP).

So after flashing TWRP I noticed that the time was wrong (and when making a backup I saw that even the date was wrong). It showed that it was the 1st January of 2014 (default date when not seting date on this specific device).

So, after some time I found out, that you have to FISRT SET TIME/DATE on your device's system and THEN flash TWRP. TWRP will then get the (right) time/date of the system on your device.

Another thing that was interesting though, is that TWRP's wrong date/time would even show in the system of the device, if the device was set to get time/date from the network but couldn't connect to it.

So it seems that TWRP get's its time/date setting from the device's system when it's initially flashed, but then the system of the device takes the date/time from TWRP, as it is like a layer "before" the system.

So to cut things short, if you have TWRP flashed and it shows wrong time, try flashing another recovery (CWM) or a stock ROM (over Odin), set the right time on your device and then finally flash TWRP again. (TWRP is much smoother than CWM in my opinion and worth the hussle).

All the above were executed on a Galaxy S5 SM-900F and by system I mean the android version installed on the device.

Good luck!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
As listed above in twrp settings and change timezone. Profit.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaibar:
And how many time-zones are required to change the year from 1971 to 2015? I don't think that option exists on TWRP menu...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Travisdroidx2:
Sorry thread title says clock is wrong. That is what I answered.The 70's I hear was good times. 2015 is so overrated lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cadbob:
Just download the Offical TWRP App, find the Next older version of TWRP Recovery Image you have and Install that version, of course make sure time is correct and date first! Profit!! :)

Than you could re-flash next version as you had it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bilgerryan:
Pretty sure you can change it TWRP's settings. I think there's an option for "Time Daemon"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NeonHD:

first off, i'm a flashing/rooting noob. my Gnote is my business line for my company...very important stuff on it, from S-memo's, to txt's to call history, to Apps etc...

how do y'all handle this loss of info? or is there a way to save ALL OF IT it (including Apps) off of the ICS phone, then put it back on a CM10 or Blackstar phone?

Apps would take a long time to reinstall all over again. for instance i'd have to find the Visual Voicemail apk again, can't even recall how i installed it.

or am i mistaken, and a wipe before a flash doesn't remove all of those things???

tx! :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Demmonnixx:
responded with the below to your other thread:

Before you wipe make sure to do a complete back up, download sms backup or super backup to back up contacts, texts etc... Download app2zip or Titanium to back up your apps.

Here's the process I go through each time. Each time you will lose everything but is safer and have a better chance of not failing:

In TWRP

Factory reset

Wipe System

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Install your rom and the gapps

Wipe cache and dalvik again

reboot and let the phone sit for about 10mins, then reboot again and all should be good.

Once phone is up and running, if you did app2zip to back up your apps, you have to go back into recovery and flash that zip and install the backups from sms backup or super backup for your contacts, texts etc....

Hope that helped some.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] captemo:
just a possible heads up. it has been rumored if using TiBu for back ups. in using it to restore, be careful, some have had issues restoring DATA.

restoring the APP's, no problem.

people have said not to restore data on those apps as it causes problems.

I am not sure as it may only be an issue if going to or from 4.1 or 4.2.................meaning from 4.1 ROM to 4.1 ROM may be ok. and 4.2 to 4.2.

but if your swapping, you may want to be careful. but if you business is that important??? just a heads up.

your contacts and S Memo shoud be fine between gmail account and Kies. all other back ups you make should cover apps and other data. the rest of you transition should be seamless. others have done it with no problem. I play it safer than most. I returned to stock unrooted ICS. got the official upgrade through Samsung then rooted again. then again I play it safer than most. had all my files lined up, ran through procedures in my head and went through it slowly.

ummm, I never flashed a GAPPS for Padawan JB. not in OP and don't need them. maybe it was needed for ICS Padawan? (don't know never ran it)

follow OP to the letter

when you come across lag issues and you probably will. disable ripple effect and go to p.355 and read until p. 378 of the Padawan thread. there you will find the cure and soon be running at a full orgasmic pace.

enjoy and we will see you there

good luck
