Okay it won't let me do anything with the file all it says is access denied I can't even delete the log file now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Do you happen to have the recovery.log stored with that backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Can you elaborate in what you are doing and where? In android, twrp? Deleting what file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Unfortunately no - That backup, took the right amount of time - So I thought that it would be good... I'll do another backup - but this time I'll get a recovery log for sure. It was on the internal sd - so at least that rules out any external sd card issues - sigh - lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Also before you restore, can you see if you can get a adb shell logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Okay I went to TWRP and I moved the log files to the SD card then when I go to the log files in android it tells me that they can't read the file it won't upload it I can't zip it and I can't delete it... The TWRP folder says access denied when I try to go into it on the internal sd card on the external sd card I can access that folder...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Tunasty:
Sounds like you don't have Read/write permissions to your internal. What Explorer are you using?

Note 3 is poppin!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
I'm using fx but I can delete all other files just not the twrp ones
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
You need to use root explorer or something like it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Yeah, next time it happens see if you can get a logcat. I want to make sure there isn't any weird issues going on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
I was able to delete the files within TWRP... But my phone works fine I just can't make nandroid backups. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Although it may be too late for some people, ChengLu's CWM has been confirmed working now, so people can flash that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Warrior1975:
I tried every combination possible...that one includedm. Nothing worked for me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
So would you recommend just rooting without installing a custom recovery and then Odin back to stock if you mess up?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
I noticed that there's a stock recovery tar up on goo for the Canadian N3 - if that helps anyone - I didn't check for the US versions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steve Lazarus:
Tried it, no luck... I'm assuming after step 3 you have to do a battery pull, then go into download mode and flash with Odin, if so no luck for me...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Warrior1975:
I'm no expert, but I'd say yes. I'm sure the more knowledgeable people will let you know.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] turilo:
Did you happen to do any titanium restores prior to the bootloops?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
At the moment - I'd be asking, why do you want root - There's no roms to flash & really all that you can do is freeze or uninstall bloat - But you've got a device with 32 Gig of internal memory - So what's the rush? Let things settle down a bit ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Steve Lazarus:
Just wondering if you've tried exchanging the phone yet at a T-mobile store, I was going to head down and play dumb to see what they say..:eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Xposed framework is my number one reason. I want to customize my entire phone. Backup and restore my apps, Viper sound effects, completely remove knox, make my custom qmg boot animation, install a custom SMS system apk.

But yes I agree I will let things settle down. I just feel bad for the people who took the risk to test and don't have a working phone:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Yeah for sure I feel bad for them too - But there's always a risk - however minimal - even when flashing a well tested rom or anything else - stuff can go sideways..... It's happened to me, and it's very frustrating.

One thing is for sure - We're ALL really fortunate to have the AMAZING Devs that we do! They'll get it sorted out :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cwalker0906:
i installed using goo manager ....flashed roms have xposed installed no issues
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Did you try to restore?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pandemoniumone:
Is that the 2.6.3.2 version you're referring to? I went to Goo and it pulled up 2.6.3.1...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Warrior1975:
Yes, titanium worked fine. Why, do you believe that is a factor?

sgh-TWEAKED-889©
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] turilo:
All I have done so far on my phone was CF auto root and install TWRP 2.6.3.1 then I did some titanium backup restores and noticed some security pop ups and did the titanium backup fix. Now if I do a simple reboot I'll get bootloops until it actually decides to stick. Once it took 6 bootloops before it stayed. I also flashed stock recovery and same results. This is all without installing any custom rom or mods, no restores of any sort through recovery also. So I believe titanium backup might have something to do with all this. I tried getting a logcat of the bootloop but it's next to impossible. So now I will try a factory reset with my stock recovery installed
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pandemoniumone:
Not sure if this is relevant or not but, I was getting boot loops this morning before rooting...

... it would finally stick after the 5th or 6th time, I've never seen anything like that on a completely

stock device.

After reading about the issues here and experiencing what I have already without customizing mine,

I'm wondering if this is actually a TWRP issue or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Did you flash TWRP or was it completely stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pandemoniumone:
Completely stock, no customizations at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Pikezer1337:
Does it still bootloop when you restart, or wasit just that one time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - I'd be more than happy to - just haven't ever done it before? From within this twrp - Advanced - adb?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Setup adb and pull it in TWRP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevetrooper:
Is there a way to save the output to a file?

EDIT: I figured it out, just redirected the output to a file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
I've never did that with adb.. can you tell me what to do and I'll have to do it when I get home
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Bigbiff - I also don't understand why my recovery logs are 0 bytes?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
There are many how-tos you can search for.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Looks like you might need to format data because of that io error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Is the log 0 bytes in ramdisk under /tmp/recovery.log?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
It's in /sdcard
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
OK I Odin back to stock and now I can back up again. ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] RMXO:
I will if the settings doesnt stick again. I rebooted back into recovery and set backup to internal sdcard. then rebooted back to recovery and rebooted into the ROM to verify if .twrp file is there and it was. After a few reboots my settings seem to stick. TYVM for your advice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] - Not sure if this is what you're looking for?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lwtwg3xwrn9pus/recovery.log
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Boot into TWRP, take a backup, and see if /tmp/recovery.log looks > 0 bytes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
No need to format.

Just ummount it first (umount /data, then umount /sdcard), and then do e2fsck -f -v /dev/block/mmcblk0p25

It will fix the corrupted filesystem without formatting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Can't find /tmp/recovery.log - I used root explorer to search for it....?

but here's last_log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sd38xd52uk4b01l/last_log

If it's not what you want - let me know where I should be looking..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
You will need to look for it using adb shell while booted in TWRP. It is located in the TWRP ramdisk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
OK - I'll try to get that done later today.

I did a nandroid on my N2 - And the recovery log on the sd card has data in it - unlike the one on my N3.. ?

I haven't tried to restore anything again... Yet. ;)

Need to make sure that I have the time for a clean flash if it doesn't work...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] stevetrooper:
I ended up running a e2fsck on the /data partition and it fixed a bunch of errors. After that completed, I refreshed in TWRP the sizes in backup and my data partition went back to a normal size (strange in 2.7.0.0) it showed correctly.

I ran a backup and it completed successfully. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Cool, glad it worked without data loss. FWIW, [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] submitted some code to do this in the GUI which will be in 2.7.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] - I must be missing something - when I connect the phone to the pc - Adb devices - I see the phone - when I boot into TWRP - While connected - adb devices - No longer sees the phone - What am I doing wrong?

I really want to help - but I haven't tried this before.... Searching for how to do this - did'n't return anything useful ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Check device manager. You might need to force install the adb driver.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Device Manager on the pc - right?

---------- Post added at 08:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Yes sir.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
K - I'm Having issues with trying to force install adb drivers in device manager..

But - I booted into recovery - File manager - found tmp/recovery.log - with data in it... Getting a little frustrated.

Have a look at this - hopefully it's of some use?

I:Copying file /cache/recovery/log to /cache/recovery/last_log

Is that file 0 bytes too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Cache/recovery/last_log Is 13.14k

You kind of lost me with the "copying file /cache/recovery/log to"?

Here's the cache/recovery/last_log

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sd38xd52uk4b01l/last_log
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I am note sure what's going on. It only seems to be 0 bytes in the backup directory right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Can you do me a favor:

1. In your good fixed backup freeze knox with Titanium Backup

2. Backup with Knox frozen

3. Try to restore

Let me know if this has all apps FCing still.

THere wasnt a lot relabled in that list, but I am curious if it's knox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Yes - As far as I can tell - the only log that has 0 bytes - is the one that I get while in recovery - Advanced - write log to SD card.

The dates for the recoveries on my external sd card - There's 6 backups & three of them have the correct date - the others are saying January or something.

I'm wondering if I should reflash the hlte 2.7.0.3 zip - or flash the older hltecan? Heck even wondering if I would get away with flashing the hltetmo zip?

I gather that there was nothing of any use in the logs that I posted?

Thanks for looking into this Bigbiff!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Can you post another recovery.log of using advanced to copy sdcard?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
I would - but it had 0 bytes ?

Here's a screenshot of the backups to the external sd card - just so you can see the dates
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Please try this:

1. Boot TWRP

2. Use advanced to copy log to sdcard

3. Use adb to pull /tmp/recovery.log

4. post the recovery.log as an attachment
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
I'll try next time I have some downtime. What's funny is that those apps ran in the background - for example, I was getting notifications from WhatsApp and Google Voice, but as soon as I tried opening them, they FC'd.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] - Well - Some (too many) hours later - I did a couple of things - I reflashed 4.3 2.7.0.3 (probably didn't fix anything) - And I formatted the internal storage (forgot to move my TB backup ?) - But I now have a recovery.log on my SD card - that is greater than 0!

Bigbiff - I haven't tried to restore anything yet... But have a look at the log when you have a chance - It will as always - be Greatly Appreciated!

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9lwtwg3xwrn9pus/recovery.log
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Is not Knox because I'm on a Knox free Rom and the same thing happens to me on ne6
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Maybe free space was causing the issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Don't know - But I don't think so - I had a few Gig of space available on internal storage?

Did you have a chance to look at the recovery.log?

It's been a long day of factory resets & full wipes - lol - Haven't tried to restore... Tomorrow I'll have a go at it ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I didn't see any errors. I was hoping to see the log from ramdisk catching the error on why when you use advanced to copy the log to /sdcard, it was 0 bytes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
I'd really like to get you that log But - I'm still having issues, trying to get adb to see the device while in recovery... I've asked around on how to get it - (couple Devs I know)... But no definitive answer :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Yeah, actually that makes sense. My ROM has had Knox stripped out completely from it as well. Not sure what the leftover folder-whatever called "knox" is, but I don't have Knox at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I am using Ax's international rom with no issues. I am downloading NE6 stock from Tmobile and will see if I can replicate the issue.

I have backed up and restored with no FCs. Are you guys doing enforcing in the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I am surprised that force installing the adb driver from google isn't working for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Yeah - I've tried a couple of different methods to get it working - I'm going to try a universal adb driver that Koush posted on his g+

I'll let you know how it works out...

You mean SELinux Enforcing? Yes, the stock Samsung kernel is always SELinux Enforcing.

T-Mobile Note 3 SM-N900T Restore Question

I got my T-Mobile Note3 the day it was released. I rooted it right away, installed TWRP 2.6.3.0, then installed the Jedi ROM. This was around the time when TWRP could backup, but it couldn't restore properly on a Note 3 - it would result in boot loops IIRC. Has anyone used this version of TWRP on their T-mobile Note 3 N900T successfully with restoring a backup?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I just odined n900t ne6 and did a backup then restore in TWRP. I am not having FCs on my apps I tested. I have 250 installed or so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
I don't know man, I just reported what was happening and how I fixed it. Thanks for checking it anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Yeah, I didn't see any errors on backup/restore of contexts in your logs. I saw that the default TWRP contexts changed the ones you reported to a different context then what was written by odin. Not sure what's up with that.

What I did was odin ne6, then took a ls -lRZ on /data and system. Then I restored ne6 with TWRP and did the same and compare with diff. I came up with no differences.

If you have time to replicate the issue, get a logcat of the FCs and paste it here and I will take a look.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I think we might have a fix, I will setup a test build for you tonight when I get home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Oh cool, what was the problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
We changed how we are backing up directories and some legacy code was messing up certain contexts on directories. Please try http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.1.0-hltetmo-4.4.zip to see if it fixes your issue.

I also added F2FS to the kernel and ramdisk if someone wants to try converting inside of TWRP. I will post changelog tonight in OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] - just wanted to let you know - that I ended up flashing the 4.4 bootloader & the 4.4 hlte version of TWRP 2.7.0.3 - Restore is working perfectly now..

I'm still not sure what was going on with my phone - 4.3 TWRP 2.7.0.3 was working without any problems before - So I'm guessing that something got corrupted... Sorry that I couldn't get the recovery.log that you needed.. Just couldn't get my pc to see the phone while in recovery ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I uploaded 2.7.1.0 that may fix your issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Which issue? It's all good now - unless you are talking about the recovery.log while in recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Not sure, but it might contain a fix. Let me know if it continues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] foreverloco:
I had the same issue as siraltus where my apps would start crashing after restoring a deodexed ne6 backup and I just tested making and restoring a backup with 2.7.1.0. I'm happy to report that everything is working perfectly now. Thanks big!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] djtheraven:
Confirmed working on ne6 now 2710
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Bigbiff - With the changes in how backup directories are handled - Can you restore a backup which was made with hlte 4.4 version 2.7.0.3, using 2.7.1.0 - or should we redo the backups if we are now using 2.7.1.0?

Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
It was a change in the restore code. Your backups should be unaffected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Hey loco my man, glad to see you here. I just did a backup and restore in 2.7.1.0 and I'm happy to report it worked flawlessly.

Thanks bigbiff for fixing this problem. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pvchip3:
I can also confirm latest version for tmobile is able to back up and restore on ne6 without any problems...thanks bigbiff and team your time, hard work is much appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bob Simons:
Dont seem to be able to get into recovery any more

I'm using 2.7.1.0 on a 900T with Will03's Slim. Old bootloader, and just flashed TWRP from 2.7.0.1 to 2.7.1.0, rebooted, and then went back into TWRP and flashed the latest 4.4.3 and AIO gapps. Now it starts but if I try to go into recovery, l it will stick on the flashing recovery screen. I can't get out of sticking on booting into recovery without booting into download mode and then hitting cancel which changes some flag so it boots into lernel and gets onto Will03 v19, where it runs badly.

Bottom line is I don't think I can boot into recovery. What is the safest way out with the least chance of breaking something like the EFS folder?

How to I reflash TWRP to get recovery back? I don't know how to get you any of the logs you want.

I note below that I'd flashed the 4.4 version of 2.7.1.0 which broke the phone just like I knew it would, at moments of clearer thinking. USBHost, below calmed me down and I Odined the correct version and it starts and runs and goes into recovery and all those things. The system only lets me say thanks once. but I'm a lot more grateful than that. Embarrassed, too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] USBhost:
Reflash recovery VA odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Bob Simons:
I am and should be embarrassed

I see here I flashed the 4.4 version on my 4.3 bootloader 900T. It's supposed to not work when you do that. So by that standard, it's operating exactly like it should. What can I say? I ****ed up, then panicked, then asked for help and now all is good. Thanks a million. Now, although I feel dumb, all is good. I need to ask Shaggy how he upgraded the bootloader to 4.4 and then leave the old bootloader behind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Bob - I sent you a "How To" pm. ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I figured out the adb issue. I wasn't setting the appropriate vendor ID and host ID so Windows is ignoring the device in TWRP. I will release the fix once I figure out an issue with formatting data to f2fs and immediately restoring, TWRP segfaults.

Can anyone tell me if they have any roms working with f2fs on data? I tried repacking a kernel with updated fstab but it won't boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
So I wasn't dreaming - when I couldn't get adb to see my device while booted into recovery...? ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Yeah, I am in linux all the time so I never had the issue since Linux doesn't care. I have been testing some stuff in Windows and finally had the issue and delved into it to fix it because I needed adb haha. I will push out the fix soon. I guess most people don't use adb enough to complain.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Bigbiff - I definitely wasn't complaining - I was just stumped and feeling stupid ?

?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Complaining is good, otherwise it might never get fixed :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] LillieBennett:
We don't need adb because you do great work. Latest version still works great for the vzw developer edition! Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
adb saved my ass when 2.7.0.0 had the context restoration bug that corrupted backups. I used adb to troubleshoot and fix my phone, it saved me hours of reinstalling everything.

adb is absolutely crucial.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Medic1013:
At the moment I'm running AOSP and on 4.4 but I do go back to TouchWiz 4.3 roms.

What recovery is the appropriate one?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] apacseven:
Which bootloader are you on, 4.3 or 4.4? Thats what determines which version you need.
