Oh. That is unfortunate.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Beast84:
I had 2.6.3.10 installed on my phone. I got a replacement phone and installed the same version. The backup I made with my old phone won't restore to the new phone. Both phones show blank screen when you click on restore through recovery. Any help here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cam30era:
See post #1188 on page 119. Maybe that is your problem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Beast84:
No I just downloaded the new one. I was previously on 2.6.3.8 till now. I haven't had to backup or restore till now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
They have different serial numbers. This is by design so you don't restore stuff like efs from an old phone to your new phone and borking it entirely. You need to move the folder you want to restore into the new serial number directory under your storage TWRP directory.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Beast84:
So why is the old phone showing as blank too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Paste recovery.log and I can debug.

Hi I try to backup Temasek Rom but TWRP 2.6.3.10 keep failed to backup, it happened on couple aosp roms also.

Here is the log. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Redownload 2.6.3.10. I updated it with the fix a while ago.

Probably in the section that says "download" in the op.

But here's a direct link for your convenience. http://www.techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hltetmo

Well, semi direct anyway. That's a list off all available twrp for note 3.

wow.. thanks for this fix... helps with all the backups with the correct date...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Gen00:
So is the new TWRP 2.6.3.10 working good.. I heard when using .8 that restoring back ups sometimes puts you into bout loop..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Beast84:
I couldn't get the newest version to function properly. I backed up. Wiped. And tried to restore. It restored the ROM but not the data. Luckily I had everything backed up with ROM toolbox.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Can you post details? Recovery.log and did you see any errors in the console?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] inline6power:
same here on my vzw dev phone. .10 would not properly restore. i had to revert back to the .8 build. really wish this was not the case because i deleted my old backups on .8 and then backedup everything on .10. now i am screwed. have to set the rom all up again from the beginning. sucks. wish i would have know this before i moved to the newest build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Works for other people. Would you post your logs?

That is the backup log, and it looks like everything backed up. Can you post the restore log as well?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] inline6power:
i just made a new backup of my beans roms. did a backup with twrp .10 and then reflashed twrp .8 and did another backup of the same rom back to back. will post both logs in just a sec. why would the recovery log be different sizes if the rom is the same for each backup with nothing being changed except recovery version?

trying to restore my twrp .8 backup of my beans rom now using twrp .8. will post restore logs when its done.

will also do the same thing for twrp .10 and and post restore logs. hopefully one of these restores will work and i wont have to start all over from scratch again. pain in the butt setting everything all up again.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

well its official. waiting for the logs to upload on pastebin.

twrp .8 backsup and restores my phone no problem

using twrp .10 borjks it big time on the restore.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

its going to be just a bit before i can get the restore logs up. pastebin is running pretty slow right now but the logs for the restores from twrp 10 and 8 are vastly different.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] inline6power:
well pastebin wont take the file i guess its to big so i uploaded them to dropbox. here they are. the first one is the restore that worked from the .8 twrp build. the second is from the twrp .10 build that does not work.

twrp restore that worked from .8 build https://www.dropbox.com/s/z89a93q35jp2jl8/recovery.log

twrp restore that didnt work from .10 build https://www.dropbox.com/s/ydyajl7wxjxu2lv/recovery.log
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I just realized that you are using the vzw note3 dev edition. Are you sure the partitions are the same? I noticed no errors in the restore logs.

Can you describe exactly what screens you see when you boot android? Do you get adb shell? Can you get a logcat?

I haven't exactly released an official version of twrp for the verizon phone because I never received a stock recovery image.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] inline6power:
what its basically doing is when i use the build .8 version everything works as normal. if i make a backup or try to restore that same backup using .10 build it acts like it forgets some of the data and system partitions. it will restore all my apps, but none of my rom settings. meaning it restores me to a the stock version of the rom i had a backup of plus my apps. it also gives me an error in the play store when i restore using .10 build and will not let me download anything from the play store. gives me a unknow error code of -24. i am more than happy get you and help with anytihng you need to make an official TWRP for our verizon dev phones.

---------- Post added at 12:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

those were the backup logs. did you download my RESTORE logs from dropbox? i tried to pastebin them but pastebin wouldnt take them as they were a little on the large size. just wanted to see if you looked at the restore logs or just the backup logs. the restore logs are vastly different from each other yet they are from the same backup just using different twrp versions.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

also, partitions in the backups are exactly identical. it seems as if the TWRP .10 build is causing me grief on the restore part of things i believe. let me know if you need anything from me to help in any way. i can stay on the build 8 right now since its working great but i am more than willing to hlpe out in any way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Yes I looked at your restore logs. I don't see errors in either log. Also you shouldn't be restoring EFS/Modem all the time.

What makes you think there is a difference in 11k lines in each file? Can be anything, I just worry about errors. Is your rom enforcing selinux? Try restorecon -Rv /data in android maybe? SInce you can boot android, a logcat would be helpful too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jmichaels1982:
vzw dev edition

Ok so I am using the .10 with no problems. But here is my cool lil story

I had a .8 back up of beans, then i dont know what possessed ( must be of the spirit of android , tinkering ) to delete wipe out my internal and media . tried to restore beans and it failed miserably. I had multiple fc and messages I have never seen before in my android experience ( one of them asked if i am feeling lucky ??? i swear i am not drunk ) . Then I re-installed beans on .10 and adjusted all the settings and restored via titanium, basically completely polished it to my liking with xposed. Backed it up and installed aosp after completely wiping , including my internal , then to test it , restored my beans again. and voila , works flawlessly with the correct time stamp and all .

I do make it a habit to wipe before restores though, every thing ! I dont like skid marks form other roms, except of course for my external, thats left alone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] inline6power:
OK cool. I will try to get a log cat of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
I just tested backup and restore on my T-Mobile Note 3 with 2.6.3.10 and it backs up and restores perfectly.

I did, however, have this exact problem on 2.6.3.9.

Just wanted to provide this information, it might be useful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cam30era:
FWiW: I have a Verizon DE and tested backup and restore with 2.6.3.10. Worked flawlessly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] inline6power:
Hum. Wonder why some.have it and some don't
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ade_tobat:
Can't find v.10 from the link.. did they took it frm the web??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] cam30era:
It's there. But not after .09. It's up near the top, after .01.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ade_tobat:
Got em.. its hiding lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] samklee:
Yeah, I experienced the same issue. Went back to. 8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Not helpful if you dont post the logs. Please don't post if you guys aren't going to be helpful because I don't know if its #usererror or twrp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
ahh shoot, not sure what went wrong today. Any suggesstions...

Trying restoring backups either from internal or SD card, It doesn't seemed to be restoring correctly? I'm keeps getting unable to mount usbstorage? I had to use TiBackUps to get all the data back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
If you can post your logs I can take a look at the issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
weird, I'm getting error from adb terminal

error: device not found

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Hey big when I tried pulling the logs from TRWP. I'm getting this, is it normal?

E:unable to mount /usbstorage

FULL SELinus script is present

Running boot script and so on....

Check the logs please....:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Unfortunately you copied a log without the restore occuring. Can you try to restore then copy the log?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
Here's another log, just restored it back this morning same error, " unable to mount usbstorage"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Still no restore information in the log you attached. Unable to mount usbstorage just means you don't have any USB storage attached to OTG via your phone's USB port.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
Sorry about that! Try this! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I don't see any errors in the logs. One thing, don't restore any partition other than cache/data/system/boot unless you absolutely need to including, efs, modem and recovery.

What issues are you having after you boot android?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
When I tried restoring, phones doesn't functions well. The home button doesn't work. All the apps setting/data where gone. Also I'm getting google play store error -24(some apps only not all)

I'll try to restore cache/data/system/boot and see what happens.

Oh hey, Anything fishy with the recovery logs? Nothing at all? Not sure Y it won't restores properly. I never had this issues b4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
After you restore, do a restorecon -Rv /data

I have a patch that will be in 2.7 to fix that. (I am waiting for the final merged patches rather than release .11 which is real soon now<tm>)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
You mean, restorecon -R -v /data/data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
No, I want you to do it to all of /data
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
Hey big is it possible to go back to the older version of TWRP?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Why do you want to revert?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
I'm still having issues from restoring, but never had any issues from the previous version. I'm thinking if I could give it a shot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
You can always revert if you want, but I would like to see /tmp/recovery.log to see what your issue is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
Hmm, there's no tmp/recvoery.log? BUT I do see tons of TRWP related recovery.log
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
See my sig on how to pull recovery.log.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PapaWangsta:
Yeah, I did that you said there's nothing wrong.

So, How can i revert back to the older version. I had no problem with the v2.6.3.8. I would like to give that a shot.

UPDATE: nevermind, flashed the older version v2.3.6.8. Hopefully everything is going to be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
For you guys who have updated to the Tmobile 4.4 Kitkat update and bootloader: http://techerrata.com/bigbiff/hltetmo-recovery.img.tar

It is sort of a twrp2.7 beta until the official builds get released but only for 4.4. I will be building for 4.3 bootloaders this weekend. Don't pay attention to the version number in TWRP, just please let me know if it works.

Just compiled with n900t kk source from samsung and compiled dtb. Please test adb shell too.

Well I tested it myself. adb shell works, twrp backup works, restore works. version says 2.6.3.2 if anyone cares, but consider it TWRP 2.7 beta.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] princedwi:
Went from Stock rooted 4.3 with TWRP to ODIN 4.4.2 and did CF-AutoRoot for the N9005. ODIN flashed your 'beta' - booting and looking good so far! :good:

Can anyone make a zip for this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Rob the plumber:
I had a problem with recovery not sticking. Had to uncheck auto reboot in Odin, and hold the button combination for recovery after the computer screen said it passed. The phone will look like it's still downloading though. This is addressed in the op of your main thread, but I thought I'd mention it here for anyone who ran into that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Brightness control doesn't work on this build. Backup works fine so far. When I try to restore, I'll report.

The whole recovery is REALLY friggin' fast now - buttons respond instantly and screens load instantly. Awesome.

Did you upload the correct files?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] pipergca:
[MENTION=2638973]bigbiff[/MENTION] sir I noticed on http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/198 there are new downloads for TWRP 2.7.0.0 for 4.4 and 4.3. None of the 4.4 seem to be working. The tar download is only 10kb. Just an fyi. I also tried the zip but it fails.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Same here. I'm on stock KitKat so only tried the 4.4 ones but they're all broken.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I didn't say they are ready yet. I am working on my build script for about 20 devices. I will let you know when they are ready when I update the OP.

If they are still not working when the OP is updated please report issues civilly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Fair enough. And we are being civil - nobody's attacking you. You know everyone keeps checking the download pages because they can't wait, so why not just post a "DON'T DOWNLOAD THE NEW FILES UNTIL I SAY SO" warning?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
I didn't mean that people are attacking me ad hominem or anything. I just want people to realize this is a done in freetime type of thing and it comes when free time is available.

I am still fixing some bugs in my build script, but hopefully everything will be done soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Yes, we understand that and are grateful for your work.

We were just reporting the files were broken - obviously we didn't know why they were broken until you explained.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Once again, I didn't mean to come off sounding standoffish. Thanks for the reports.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
No worries! We just want to provide as much helpful information as we can. Let us know when we can grab the 2.7.0.0 builds. :D

It's REALLY fast and I'm loving the haptic feedback, especially when it lets me know the backup is done so I can reboot the phone back into Android.

Thank you bigbiff and rmriggin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] hurtz777:
rmriggin will you please make a workingTWRP 2.7.0.0 4.4 Odin flashable tar file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] biswasd:
how does one flash this without odin? sorry for the stupid question....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
From an existing custom recovery (CWM, Philz, or an earlier version of TWRP, stock recovery won't accept non-Samsung ZIP files). If you don't have one installed, you must flash a TAR file via ODIN.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chrisa887:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rmriggin:
The goo.im page linked in my last post (and OP I believe) has a CWM and Odin flashable versions of 2.7 for 4.3 bootloaders that should work fine. The reason I had to modify the 2.7 for 4.4 bootloader zip that was on that page was that it did not contain the META folder needed to be able to flash it from recovery. The zip package for 4.3 bootloaders appears complete though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] robert90262:
Can't I just use goomanager for the latest twrp since I already have custom recovery installed on 4.4.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] abe_cedar:
dev edition

I have a verizon dev edition snapdrag800 with unlocked bootloader. All twrps up to 3.10 run fine.

Last one gets stuck on start screen. I have tried both odin and zip flash from 3.10. I run a 4.3 tw based rom.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rmriggin:
Make sure you are using the version that reflects the bootloader you are using.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] abe_cedar:
That is the problem. I am on 4.3 so I have 2 use 3.10

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chrisa887:
I just downloaded 2.7.0 zip, can I flash it even though I am on 4.3 base still? Not going to hurt anything right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] siraltus:
Read before you flash! There's a reason there are separate versions for 4.3 and 4.4 bootloaders. You must flash the version matching your bootloader or the recovery won't boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bigbiff:
Let me know if the 2.7 4.3 version doesn't work.

TWRP posted a flashable version, a tar file and img file for 4.4 and 4.3 bootloaders, these have been available not to take away from what you did but this is already readily available you should post the link so people can get whatever version easily. I am a T-Mobile USA user.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] rmriggin:
The zip posted for the 2.7 version for 4.4 was missing the META folder and its contents to be able to use it to flash from within another recovery. All I did was add what was needed to make it flashable from recovery and posted the zip. I don't wish for any type of credit just posted what worked for me and hoped it could help others out to. This version of twrp was the only one I was able to get to flash the build of 4.4 I wanted to use as I had downloaded 3 separate times and always got an error 7 but when flashing the same file with twrp it worked =)
