[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
This must be something to do with newer TWRP. I mistakenly told you it works fine for me, but in order to try to replicate your problem I made a twrp backup using 2.6.0.1 and like you said I can't copy it to my mac.

I never had issues with this before. I'd say use the older version of twrp if you could find it, but if you're running newer firmware from either the google ediiton conversion or 2.24 then touch won't work in twrp.

It's a shame because I prefer twrp's interface too.

maybe we should alert teamwin about this issue. or whoever built this version of twrp.

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

Here's something odd, I plugged the flashdrive I always use via otg into my mac and am able to copy twrp backups from it to the Mac.

I bet it's an android file transfer problem.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] gunnyman:
it's an ongoing problem with the new twrp.

so either use OTG or switch to cwm
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ShivaSmith:
Hey Gunnyman,

Thanks so much for the independent confirmation of the issue! Much appreciated! :) Now I know I'm not crazy ;).

I'd also been speaking with the dev. of AFV (Android File Verifier) because that App also cannot compute .md5 sums on the ext4.win files from the latest TWRP. It appears to be some kind of file permission error:

View attachment 2128641

But yet I have root, and the files have read permission, so that's very weird. Ok, I just tried a command suggested by the AFV dev., and the output is very interesting:

$ adb shell ls -a -l /storage/sdcard0/TWRP/BACKUPS/**********/2013-07-18--13-37-53

Look at those funky execute permissions... Regarding the "S" --

Wikipedia indicates: "S or T: setuid/setgid or sticky, but not executable".. not sure why that causes issues tho'.

Additionally, although I was able to transfer my first TWRP 2.6.0.1 nandroid backup to Google Drive using ES File Explorer, the 2nd nandroid I made last night would not transfer! It wouldn't work in either ES File Explorer or in the Google Drive App. That makes me wonder about the stability of the files being produced, but yet Ti Backup can open up the nandroids ok, so I don't think the files are corrupted... just seems like a permission issue

I will see if the OTG route will work for me -- that's a great idea which I hadn't tried yet.

Contacting TWRP sounds like a good idea to me, so I sent a message on their site, and pointed them to this thread, but haven't heard back from them yet. If there is any other better way to let them know -- or if we could PM them on XDA, we should. I'm not sure who to contact.

thanks,

Matt
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] scary alien:
Hey Matt!

Thought I'd respond to you over here (I'll ping you on email later, too :)).

I did a real quick search for the "S" bit (didn't know too much about it) and found this: http://www.unix.com/tips-tutorials/19060-unix-file-permissions.html:

I'm guessing that TWRP is setting the suid but not setting (or removing?) the x (execute permission) bit for some reason (pardon me for not being up-to-date on this issue w/TWRP) and this is leading to a read permission error in my AFV app.

Can you use/try another app to read this file (another file manager like ES File Explorer) and see if it can?

The currently available release of my app is not root-enabled (I have a version that I'm still testing), but this particular file should not require root access.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ShivaSmith:
Hey SA,

Thanks for the "S" bit research info!

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ShivaSmith:
I can confirm that TWRP 2.6.0.1 did actually restore my bootloader-unlocked, rooted (otherwise stock -- 4.2.1) AT&T HTC One properly...

I had just accidentally rebooted into safe mode and then later when I rebooted normally, my live wallpaper was gone (it was reset to the original wallpaper), and so were some home screen folders and icons. It seems like just booting into safe mode one time did that.

I'm still pretty new to Android -- I assumed that booting into safe mode would be like on a PC -- it shouldn't actually change your system. But apparently it did... which is good to know. Luckily I had a recent Nandroid, and the TWRP restore appears to have worked perfectly and my phone is back to exactly how it was... awesome. :)

So even tho' there are these weird permission things going on, the restore worked fine (as far as I can tell), which is great to know.

I use Root Explorer to set the permissions to "rw_rw_r__" on all of the files in the backup folder, and then you can copy them off to your PC or Mac without any problems.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nstirton:
Same issue with the protected backup files here! Unfortunately won't let me edit permissions, assume it's cause I'm running the stock Rom. I'm hesitant to flash a new one until I can copy the backup to my pc, otherwise my stock backup might be gone for good!

I actually prefer Cwm but for some reason can't get to work correctly on my One. Backups are made just fine but my file explorer can't seem to find them, so again can't copy to my pc! (they're definitely there as taking up valuable sdcard space!)

Neil
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] guyd:
I was able to edit the permissions of the TWRP backup files on the Stock ROM just fine using Root Explorer!

Make sure

you navigate to your backup folder via the /data/media/0 path!

You must have root to do it of course.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nstirton:
Thanks for the reply! Odd, I am rooted (confirmed by root checker from the market) but root explorer is telling me I'm not, and so can't amend the files. Am I missing something? Put me out of my misery!

EDIT: After a reset it appears to have worked! Thank you so much for your help!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sordna:
TWRP needs to avoid puting the problematic S permission on .win files

I'm having the same issues, I use the Rsync app to copy my nandroids to my linux box, but the rwSrwSr-- permissions on the win files result in "permission denied" when the app tries to read them. So I've been using the chmod utility of the TWRP 2.6.6.0 recovery itself to change the permissions to 0664, but it's highly annoying having to remember and do that after every backup.

Does anyone know if the TWRP folks have plans to fix the permissions issue and avoid putting the S bit ?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
I can confirm this. I was using Dropsync to auto-backup my backups. They wouldn't upload; shared the log and sync history with the Dropsync developer. He/she confirmed a permission issue; this was validated by moving the files that wouldn't upload to a different directory, where they started syncing correctly. I tried CWM and no such issue exists (even though it backs them up to data/media). I wish I had saw the quoted post below; sounds like the remedy (thanks guyd). I may try it when I get my patience back. I'm all about automation so I wouldn't want to manually do that every time I made a backup. I could probably get it done automatically with Tasker and some shell commands.

As stated, it seems to backup to a different directory. For me, the backup folder defaults to data/media (and not data/media/0).
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Alestrix:
Thanks, that was the key for me!

I ran into the same problem, noticed the suid permission, but a chmod 0664 just wouldn't fix it. Turned out I cd'ed into TWRP's backup path via /sdcard/TWRP/... and not /data/media/0.

To summarize: in a terminal window I was able to

su
chmod -R 0664 /data/media/0/TWRP

(reproduced from memory)

and then adb pull the files via the command prompt from my Nexus 4 (same issue here as on the One) to my PC (same issue here as on a Mac).

Thanks again

Alex
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] guyd:
/data/media = Android 4.1.2

/data/media/0 = Android 4.2.2

If you are running 4.2.2 and TWRP still puts the backup in the wrong path, then delete the ".twrps" file in the twrp folder, and that should take care of it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
I was talking about CWM when I said that. TWRP backed up to the correct location but had the file permission issue.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] sordna:
I wonder when they will fix the permissions issue, anyone know? I'll stay with 2.5.0.0 till then.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Simba501:
Hm. I didn't know it was fine on 2.5.0.0.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] guyd:
If you have the latest touch pad drivers (2.24.401.1 firmware) you may run into touch problems with that older version of TWRP.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] blazingblue:
It works! But do we need to revert the permissions of the files when restoring? Sorry, n00bs here. ;p
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] guyd:
No! Leave the permissions as "rw_rw_r" or "rw_rw_rw" and it'll work just fine!

Or better yet, flash the latest version of TWRP 2.6.1.0 and the permissions bug is fixed.

[General Questions and Answers] JRMCad:
Hi Everyone,

I've searched and read a lot of posts but haven't found the answer I seek!!

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII, dropped it, and hence cracked screen. I bought a replacement kit as a DIY job and followed all instructions to replace the screen. However.. When I tried to glue down the replacement screen, there didn't seem to be enough glue left over on the edges to hold the screen down flat.

My question is:

What sort of glue is used on the SIII? I want to buy the same product, add some more glue and fix down the screen properly!!!

P.S I've read about the double sided tape alternative, tried it, problem is, it leaves a slight gap and the screen isn't as responsive as it should be.

Thanks in advance :)

[Nexus 7 3G Android Development] :
This ROM is actually pretty great. My two main complaints so far are the ridiculous lag I get sometimes (stock kernel, will try others - can you recommend any?) and an issue with the Bluetooth hardware keyboard I use, namely that the soft keyboard pops up whether the hardware one is connected or not (confirmed with stock keyboard and Hacker's).

And, if I'm in a position to make feature requests, a launcher for the keyboard quick launch manager (quicklaunch.QuickLaunch I think, you can get to the activity with Nova) would be a great thing to have.

Other than that, I'm loving it. Best ROM I've used in quite a while. :)

Edit: a few more things: sharing a 3G connection over WiFi does work perfectly, neither Pie nor navbars are enabled on first boot, and the volume keys apparently default to controlling ringer volume, which doesn't really make sense on this device. I think that's all for now...
