[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakudaboy:
Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone having the same problem can't backup/restore anything in Go Backup or Titanium in CM10.2 (temasek build) ??

Is it any fix for this issue please?

thanks. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakudaboy:
seems like can't access sdcard causing the problem?!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fleischbanane:
Have the same problem on my GNex. It's not root because Adaway can install the adblocker.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakudaboy:
my root is working perfectly fine tho

temasek already explained. i'm guessing it's that sdcard permission thingy screwing things up

BUT, i've tried to backup to local and still showing error....weird
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakudaboy:
this is really scary, can't backup my data...

i did flash back the cm10.1 and it works fine again, guess just the app doesn't support cm10.2...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViRMiN:
I've found a fix that may help you:

Unfortunately, because I've not enough posts, I can't link direct to the article but, I found it on the HighOnAndroid website.

Worked for getting Titanium Backup running on my S2.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashencraft:
It's not worked for me (S4 cm10.2 from cm10.1)...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elgar:
This is worked for me:

Titanium backup Users

1. In tb go to menu>preferences>backup folder location

2. Navigate to storage/emulated/legacy

3. Select your Backup folder and Select "Use the current folder"

4. Then it will ask you to move backup to that folder.... Select that

5. Restart app and restore.

[Help Guide]("Firmware upgrade has encountered an issue please select recovery in kie

So I've seen many ppl including myself run into this issue with Hercules while trying to root or install a recovery, or even updating with kies. As I have been in this situation I decided to make a simple how to fix it guide, this is what fixed it for me, it may not work for u and I am in no way responsible for anything u do to ur device. So u tried to mod ur device and now ur stuck in download mode, ie- "Firmware upgrade encountered and issue" page, the phone will only boot to this screen, no recovery no fastboot, nothing, don't worry u will be able to fix it just breathe, take ur time and don't freak out like I did... First u will need a program called "Odin 1.85", a copy of the latest recovery .tar file, I use "Team win recovery project 2.6", this method may work with cwm but I haven't tried. Make sure u have no trace of Samsung kies running on ur PC as it will interfere with Odin, boot the phone to download mode, or the "firmware has encountered...." screen, open Odin on ur PC and connect the device using factory OEM USB wire, Odin is funny sometimes and likes this cord, after u connect Odin should say "Added", when it does u need to click on PDA and load the recovery tar file u downloaded, this is very important so listen....DO NOT CHECK ANYTHING BUT PDA IN ODIN! nothing at all as u may end up in worse shape, load the tar file in PDA and click start in Odin, this process shouldn't take longer than 30sec to complete and will reboot ur device when done, if by some chance Odin fails try another com port on the PC, mine liked com7, do not load a pit file ever as u will hard brick ur device, when Odin renders a green "Passed" message u are all set and can disconnect from PC, the phone should boot back to it's original state and u now have a custom recovery installed, hope this guide helps unclog a lot of these threads with this issue, I will place a link at the bottom to twrp for anyone who needs it, and please if I helped hit the thanks button...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] princewilson0410:
I has that same problem with my sister in law sgs2 an your advice work perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Glad I could help, anytime...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm encountering this same issue with a S2 for my sister. No matter which recovery I choose, it always tells me the firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Do you know of any 'stock rooted' odin flashable roms? I want to try flashing using mobile odin, but I'm going to need root to do that...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
What process are u using to Odin the recovery onto the phone, and how about odining a stock ROM and then rooting it? Let me know ur flash process and where ur getting the tar files from and I can help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
I did end up making some progress, but not really...

I was able to flash cwm 5.0.2.7 (not sure where I got it) in odin 3.07, but then it bootlooped the CM10.1 install. I then made my own tarball of the latest version of cwm touch 6.something and it also worked, but gave the same results. I'm going to try going back to stock via odin, then reflash cwm6 and see if that will provide better results. Any insight would be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
Looks like it's sorted. I used my own tarball that I made in odin 3.07, but before doing that, I flashed stock.

Here's what I did:

Flash stock in odin

Flash cwm touch via my custom made tarball

Flash CM10.1 in cwm

Note: it seems that whenever I uncheck 'auto reboot', whatever I'm flashing fails. Very odd. Anyways, it seems to be all set now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Telling u man go get twrp, I hear so many recovery issues and every one is related to cwm, logical deduction concludes cwm doesn't play well with newer roms, I won't use it..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
The only thing I'm going to say about that, is make your own assumptions. I've used both twrp, and cwm. I prefer cwm, and the only problems I've ever had were related to twrp(it would hang on booting into recovery). Twrp certainly has more features, but I don't spend enough time in recovery to care about that.

Not sure what you mean about cwm not working with newer roms either. My sister's GS2 is running cwm and cm10.1, and my gs4 is running cwm and cm10.2, neither of them have had issues that I believe to be caused by the recovery.

And in the future, don't be so passionate about your recommendations. I get that you like twrp better, and likely prefer it over every other recovery. But don't go telling people about all the problems cwm has because that's 'what you heard', it's not fair to koush. Logical deduction requires facts for a conclusion, not hearsay. I appreciate your opinion, thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] krazierokz:
i actually prefer CWM my self its trouble/fool proof LOL TWRP is nice but i only use that on my nexus devices, CWM has always been a great recovery, but i agree we all have difference in preference
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Cwm has issues loading preload partition on a lot of new roms, no all, but alot, and that is a fact, cmw isn't updated as frequently as twrp, that's another fact, no discredit to koush because it is a good recovery not arguing that but a lot of ppl have had issues with it, that's also fact, I'm passionate about anything android that works, "personally" I've never had any issurle with twrp that I have had with cwm, that's why I suggest twrp, not to discredit koush but because I want ppl to have the best results they can, that's why I promote twrp but yes its all personal taste so my bad if u feel I offended koush or u or anyone else but only trying to give advice that's been proven with me....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] InGeNeTiCs:
I'm not offended, but you can't just go around saying there's issues with 'a lot of new roms', and count that as a fact. You don't even say what the actual issue is, just that there's some issue with cwm and the preload(hidden) partition. What exactly is the issue? If there's an actual problem, I(and I'm sure I'm not the only one here) would love to know about it.

Also, why is a more frequently updated recovery better? CWM is updated when it needs to be. I recognize that new features are good, and almost always welcomed, but why exactly is that an advantage? It's not like CWM is broken all the time and it never gets fixed...

What were the problems you had with cwm?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Well I didn't say new roms have an issue, I said cmw has an issue loading the preload partition on some newer roms, personally I do like cwm, and your right its updated when it needs to be, but when was the last update, and how many new flashing scripts have been put into the dozens of new roms that have come since it has? I'm not saying cmw is bad, just that twrp is updated with the newer flashing scripts more than cwm, **** cwm was the very first recovery I used an its still good, just some issues arise with some newer roms due to the switch from tombstones to preload, I'm no noob, and have been hacking android since cupcake, so I know a little about what I'm saying, and I'm sorry if anyone got the wrong idea, features in the recovery mean nothing, I could care less if all they did was wipe and flash, all I care about is how they perform and overall twrp has a better track record, and no that's not an opinion its fact, that doesn't mean koush didn't build cwm like a beast, just that he may not have the time to update like twrp does, its all preference but if I am asked I'm going to suggest twrp as I've never had any issues with it and I hope anyone else hacking android the best possible outcome

GT-I9100 stuck on screen Firmware upgrade encountered an issue please select recover mode in Kies & try again

cant get into download mode or recovery mode it was rooted phone and i tried to install stock firmware with odin without wiping and and factory reset
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
OK first off what phone are u using because from the Odin script u posted I can see u used a recovery file from the Hercules and the firmware for a i9100, u are very lucky u didn't end up with a hard brick, u need to use the correct files for your device, if u are using the GT-i9100 then u need the firmware for that phone, the Hercules and i9100 are very different and not compatible, if u need links to the right firmware files I'll help but that screen "firmware upgrade encountered an issue" that is download mode so u should be able to connect to Odin and flash it right from that screen..

[LG Optimus Black] pickarooney:
I bought this phone second hand and upgraded it to ICS before I got a chance to check that it worked. It doesn't read any SIM cards so I need to send it back however I'd prefer to send it with the gingerbread or Froyo (I honestly don't remember which it had) ROM on it.

How do I go about that?
[LG Optimus Black] BlackPie:
Use smartflashtool and flash a GB firmware
[LG Optimus Black] Duumke1:
It does not matter if you installed an official ics, because if you upgrade your phone with lg software you'll get ics anyway. You only need to install a official os if the phone is rooted.

A factory reset should suffice to send a clean phone if an official os is installed.

I have pushed the V4AFX and V4AHiFi .apk files to /system/app and changed the permissions to rw-r--r--, rebooted, and loaded up V4AFX, insatlled the "CortexA8 with Neon" driver, rebooted again, but now I am stuck in a "need to install/update driver" loop where every time I load V4AFX it just tells me I need to install the driver.

I'm running Paranoid Android on 4.2.2 with AK/Faux kernel.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] CoolApps:
You should really have a backup before doing this.

Try entering safe mode with volume up on the boot animation, I do not know if this will work on custom ROMs but it is worth a try.

Out of curiosity, Where did you find Paranoid Android?
