TWRP 2.8.0.1 my backup getting slower

Hi, there my backup speed was around like so

Average backup rate for file systems: 7 MB/sec

Average backup rate for imaged drives: 11 MB/sec

For some reason it's getting slower like so

Average backup rate for file systems: 4 MB/sec

Average backup rate for imaged drives: 11 MB/sec

Is there anything can be done to speed it up way it was?

TWRP will not flash N9005 ROMS on N900T phones

I installed TWRP on my tmobile Note 3 using the TWRP app (selecting tmo note3 version during install) but I have a problem flashing N9005 ROMs. TWRP gave an error that the ROM is for N9005 but the phone is N900T...and the flash will not proceed. Is there an option in TWRP to "force" flash a ROM if its not compatible? Is there a version of TWRP that would allow me to flash either N9005 or N900T ROMS on tmobile phone? Should I have installed a N9005 version of TWRP? I found some links to zip versions of TWRP but I am hesitant to try unless I know it can flash BOTH types of ROMS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] force70:
I don't have any issue flashing N9005 roms but ive always flashed twrp via odin or as you mentioned via .zip file.

Id flash the zip and try again...may have something to do with the way the app installs twrp?

Keep in mind that Odin is not available to everyone. For example Mobile Odin has issues with recent Android versions and plain Odin is not available for Mac users (Heimdall has been broken for a while).

[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] not sure if you're aware, but there is a major issue with 2.8.5.0 (4.4) and hltetmo regarding fs type changing for the /data partition.

It will not convert the /data partition to f2fs with 2.8.5.0 but works fine in 2.8.4.0.

Also screen locking/blanking does not work in 2.8.5.0 like it did previously in 2.8.4.0.

EDIT:

Also, I am unable to restore the backup of /data that was in f2fs format. It always dies at the same place, and ONLY on the data partition. The MD5s check out fine. The Backup size is 10450MB and it Fails consistently (according to the screen before it fails) at 5098MB. I tried restoring under 2.8.4.0, but same issue. The backup was made using TWRP for hltetmo 2.8.5.0. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Please upload the logs for debugging.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toastido:
Wish I had pulled that first.

I was able to recover my backup of the data partition by booting into twrp and manually extracting the backups into place.. Looks like the reason they were failing is (somehow) some missing files that were in the tar index but not included in the tar. They seemed to be related to google maps. *shrug*.

Sorry about not having the logs for the f2fs stuff though.. I'll make sure to do that next time around.

What's the latest stable version of twrp? the title says 2.8.5.x, but I only see 2.8.0.1 as latest form the download page.

More important question. will it flash to the latest official lollipop firmware? :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mike B.:
We can only guess since you forgot to mention which device you have, but the official versions for most devices are 2.8.5.x. You might be looking at an outdated goo.im link. Go to

http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2

and look for your device directory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kgptzac:
eh, there seem to be a confusion. I followed the original post's "Download" link (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2) , then clicked on looking for my device, then to N900T page (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/198). Both the goo.im link and techerrata link are presented.

I have problems flashing any PAC-ROM with 2.8.5. Some how there is no problem with Philz. It says something about the binary. I guess 2.8.5 doesn't the update-binary the same way that Philz does? IDK, just making assumptions, but I won't be using TWRP until this gets figured out.

Stuck rebooting to Recovery

Android 4.3

Samsung Note3 (SM-N900T)

TWRP twrp-2.8.6.0-hltetmo-4.3.zip

Busybox 1.21.1

1. I booted into TWRP 2.8.5.x by running the command 'reboot recovery' through a terminal.

2. Installed 2.8.6.0. Successful.

3. Backed out to main menu and selected Reboot, then Recovery (to see the new TWRP).

4. The device rebooted into TWRP Recovery. Selected Reboot, System.

5. The device rebooted into TWRP Recovery again.

6. Selected Reboot System.

7. The device rebooted into TWRP Recovery again.

8. Selected Reboot, Power off.

9. The device rebooted into TWRP Recovery again.

10. Selected Reboot, Download.

11. The device rebooted into download mode. Then I rebooted into System with the three-button reset.

Attached is a debug.zip which contains the recovery.log, as well as many other things. I don't know where the reboot instruction is stored (please tell me) so I don't have it in the archive. This debug information was recovered after the first erroneous reboot back to TWRP.

If you want me to reproduce step 1, or steps 1 and 2, and collect something right afterwards I will.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Hi, did it work ok in 2.8.5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
If you mean "did it do that reboot error on 2.8.5", I don't know. I usually reboot into the new TWRP but sometimes I forget. Also, sometimes I use the buttons to reboot into TWRP.

I'll revert to 2.8.5 and see if I can reproduce on 2.8.5 and then in 2.8.6. It's 07:55 PDT, it shouldn't take more than a few minutes.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
It did not occur in 2.8.5 and it did reoccur in 2.8.6.

1. 'reboot recovery' into 2.8.6.

2. In 2.8.6 installed 2.8.5.

3. Selected Reboot, recovery.

4. Now in 2.8.5. Selected Reboot, System.

5. It rebooted into System.

6. 'reboot recovery' into 2.8.5.

7. Installed 2.8.6.

8. Selected

Reboot, Recovery.

9. Now in 2.8.6. Selected Reboot System.

10. Erroneously rebooted into TWRP again.

This time the recovery log was captured immediately after installing 2.8.6 and before rebooting.

I did 'reboot recovery' and installed that image through TWRP, selected Reboot, Recovery, and it rebooted into Android stock Recovery.

I rebooted into System, did 'reboot recovery', and it booted into stock Recovery.

I rebooted into System, powered off, powered on with the three button Recovery sequence, and it booted into stock Recovery.

I'll use 'dd' from System to install the first 2.8.6.

I use 'by-name/recovery' with 'dd', but that results in 'p15'.

I mean which file did you flash to get 2.8.6 from the official site?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
I downloaded http://dl.twrp.me/hltetmo/twrp-2.8.6.0-hltetmo-4.3.zip

In my first message -- the one with the zip archive attached -- I did a copy and paste of the filename so it is accurate.

This reboot-into-Recovery problem has happened with a version several months ago too, but I didn't pay enough attention to know how to reproduce it. .

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Can you verify that image is still working? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
It does. I reinstalled the 2.8.6 I originally downloaded after each of the images you wanted tested. I am OK here, I just need to hardware reset after Recovery to get back to System. I rarely use Recovery so that is not a problem.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Im concerned that the build I built for testing doesn't boot. It should be the same exact configuration.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
OK. It was installed by your new "img" option. I'll do a 'dd' to p15 with both of those images and let you know.

Frank

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:05 PM ----------

Now both images are identical, I guess you overwrote the first with the second. Both have the identical md5sum of 4ad...444. The first time I downloaded and tried the second img I noticed that one of the two files was a lot smaller then the other -- I should have realized then that one might have been an incomplete download.

This image that I re-downloaded -- probably your second -- does install with TWRP and does run TWRP (not stock, as before). However, this image still reboots only into TWRP.

Could you please give my that first image again?

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - I tried flashing the hltecan TWRP 2.8.6.0 img with Flashify (wasn't near my pc) and yes it flashed - And yes it would boot into TWRP - Instead of Booting to System

That fixed it!

Using the same procedure -- 'reboot recovery', install, reboot to TWRP, reboot to System -- it now properly reboots to System.

Please educate me on how the reboot command instructs the bootloader to boot to either download, recovery, or system. I assume the instruction is saved in a file somewhere but I have not been able to find it.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
It's a bionic function.

Can you test http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-hltetmo-4.3.img
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Interesting. I installed the image above and it has the same reboot problem. Then without booting back to System to restore a good image with 'dd', I used TWRP to navigate to the good image and install it. Then, with the good image written but not loaded I selected Reboot, System and it rebooted to TWRP.

After resetting (POWER 10 seconds) and booting into System I tried TWRP again with the good image and it rebooted properly.

So the device had to be reset after installing the good image over the bad, the reboot from TWRP was not enough.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
You need to boot the image to run the code. I will keep trying to send test builds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
OK, I thought having TWRP do the reboot would boot the new image.

I'll take them. I might be away for a couple hours now and then though.

Please test http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-hltetmo-4.3.img
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Same problem. I added to my test by adding a power-button reset, boot to System, then try TWRP again. The extended test also gets stuck rebooting to TWRP.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
So you flash then boot the image. Then when you go to reboot->system it goes back to TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Right. First I use TWRP to reboot right back into TWRP so that I can see that the version changed. These test images are all 6 but I'm duplicating the same procedure for all tests.

Then after rebooting to TWRP I reboot to System from TWRP, and that is where some of these images boot right back into TWRP instead.

Frank
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Including the last one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
Yes. Only one of your test images rebooted into System, all others, including the last, rebooted back into TWRP.

I'll try the last one again since you seem uncertain. The downloader assigns a new name [(2), (3), etc] and it's possible I installed the wrong one. I'll repeat it....

Frank

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

The last one does not boot into System.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Frank Westlake:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION]: My day is done so out of curiosity I tried TWRP to power-off. This is with the image that DOES reboot to System. In TWRP I selected Reboot, Power Off, and it booted back into TWRP. I reset with the power button and tried again and it again booted into TWRP. So I tried Reboot, System and it did go into System.

I'll be back in the early morning -- I'll see what happens when I select Reboot, Download tomorrow.

None of the /sbin scripts are present but there are files named

/sbin/recovery

I didn't think to look for a '/sbin/download'.

I couldn't tell if they are script or binary because 'cat reboot' locked up the TWRP terminal and I had to reset. That probably means they're binary.

'/sbin/reboot' from the TWRP terminal rebooted to System.

I have recently bought and installed the new 200GB microSDXC from SanDisk. Had to format it to FAT32 to be recognized by the phone. The card is working absolutely fine in KK rom, no issues at all. However, it is not recognized by TWRP. I've tried the latest 2.8.6.0 and 2.8.5.0 builds and it cannot mount it - card appears as "0MB" space in Mount option, and cannot be selected as Storage Location in Backup option. Based on this, I don't think latest TWRP supports that size and I was wondering if this support could be added? I don't think there is any logs to provide in this case.
