Just mount the device in recovery and copy the files to the proper location. Then you can restore them.

Because [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] is very busy and has a lot of TWRP threads to maintain. And the .3 version is a device-specific version and the threads are usually only updated for all-device release versions.

You know the latest is 2.8.0.3, and it's there in the folder when you click on it, so is it really that big a deal?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] thebobmannh:
Not even a little deal, just pure curiosity. I also thought there might be something about .0.3 that was still experimental and I should stick to 0.1.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Nope, 2.8.0.3 is moar better.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jkolner:
Im new to TWRP, comming form the HTC SensationXE and the 4Ext recovery app.

In TWRP -> Wipe .> Advanced there are several items you can choose.

Can someone explaine the difference between System, Data, Internal Storage and SD-Ext?

Befor flashing a new Rom (from a Sense Rom to ASOP) i want to keep my external SD-Card, but wipe all other data.

And what the difference between the options in the Advanced tab and the File system tab?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] garyd9:
System: The /system partition. This is what many people (incorrectly) refer to as the "ROM" It's typically mounted as read-only to a user (but it's most definitely not read-only memory - it's just mounted to look that way.)

Data: The /data partition. This isn't the "internal SD" (well, it is... but that is abstracted out - when you wipe /data, /data/media is excluded.. and /data/media is what you, as a user, usually see as your internal SD card.) This is where apps are stored, app data is usually stored, etc.

Internal Storage: This is what a user sees as their "internal sd card."

SD-Ext is probably referring to your external SD card (though I'm not sure - I've never used any recovery to wipe an external SD card.) -- edit: okay, so this isn't the "external sd card." TWRP seems to represent that as "microSD card." So, to be honest, I have NFC what "SD-Ext" is. ;)

I can't answer the rest of your questions, as I don't have recovery running in front of me, so I'm not sure which options are on advanced vs file tabs.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
First off, which version of TWRP are you using? Make sure it's 2.8.0.3, which is the latest.

Are you saying you don't know what system, data & internal storage are? Because those questions are really outside the purview of this thread (system = main ROM, data = apps, internal storage = emulated sd card symlinked from data/media).

SD-Ext is only relevant if you have a second partition on your external SD card that is formatted ext4. Most likely you don't, so you don't need to worry about that.

To "full" wipe in TWRP, selecting Cache, System, & Data on the Advanced Wipe screen will do the trick.

I'm not sure I understand your last question. What is it you're asking about? A screenshot might help (Power+Volume Down). Have you already looked at the TeamWin website to review the features of the recovery?

EDIT: #Ninja'd
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jkolner:
Well i kinda had an idea what the different parts was but wanted to be 100% sure befor wipe'ing anything ;)

Im on 2.8.0.3, and was wondering if the Filesystem tab only is for repair and there is no "wiping" going on in there?

P.S.: and thank's - this i a realy great thread ;)

EDIT: Changed IMG tag.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
The wiping only goes on on the Wipe screen. If you choose to repair or change file system, while that may wipe your selected partition as well (if you change file system), it's not the main purpose of that page.

And you used the IMG tags incorrectly.

EDIT: Now that I see your screenshot, I see you're using a theme. The default setup isn't tabbed like that, which is why I didn't know what you were talking about. If you look at the advanced wipe screen without the theme, it should make more sense to you.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] garyd9:
So here's something interesting...

I finally got around to trying to "fastboot boot" the recovery.img from within the OTA. It appears to do the same thing that trying to boot TWRP that way does: it has a vertical line in the upper right of the fastboot screen, and then nothing (fastboot is still displayed, but it's not in fastboot mode.) My best guess is that it's actually booted the recovery.img, but just isn't displaying the video.

(unlike TWRP, there's no vibration on screen touches and adb isn't active, so there's no good way to know if it's in recovery or not.)

This is with 3.28.1540.5

Backup failed

Hi everyone. I installed 2.8.0.3 and when I tried to backup my rom it said that it failed to locate recovery partition, went through and seemed like it was backing up but at the end it said that the backup failed. I reverted to 2.8.0.1 and all is fine. Anybody else experience this?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Log?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rom116:
Good day Captain. Pardon my ignorance, but how exactly would I take a log to send from twrp? I am going to upgrade my firmware and that firmware upgrade will bump me back to 2.8.0.3 and if I experience the same issue, I'll post the log for you.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Advanced -> Copy Log to SD
[One (M8) Original Android Development] muppetmaster916:
Am I actually the only person who notices the GIANT LAG when rebooting? I've asked if it was just a known issue with twrp on this device and nobody seems to know what I'm taking about. In recovery>reboot>system=10 second lag
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Why is that an issue? You can't wait 10 seconds? Be happy the recovery works and you got all those other working features. Why do people always find something to complain about?

There has been reboot 'delay' with custom recovery on every HTC device I've ever owned, going back to the Supersonic. It's kernel-related. Blame HTC.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] muppetmaster916:
Right....like I said I was only wondering if it was only me or if it was a known issue...far from complaining. I appreciate all of the work that you and other Devs do for us, and realize that we'd be running stock if it wasn't for the time you all devote. No need to be a prick though when I wasn't even complaining just asking if I was the only one since I hadn't seen it mentioned (did a search just to avoid the "search for it" response). No biggie though. Now that I know that it's a known thing problem solved. Just making sure my sh** wasn't malfunctioning.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Maybe you didn't notice the tone of your post, and the GIANT CAPS you used in it. So that's why I responded the way I did. I don't recall even seeing a reference to it before. A link to that post or a quote of it would've helped. And perhaps just politely asking if someone noticed your post and could answer it. But that's not what you did.

I'm glad now that I answered your query you're satisfied, but please be aware of your tone. I spent a LOT of time working on this (for free, obviously), so I'd prefer to feel appreciated rather than annoyed.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled recovery thread . . .
[One (M8) Original Android Development] muppetmaster916:
As you wish, like I said no disrespect intended, noting but appreciation here. Thanks for the help.

Edit: post was #305 btw
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rom116:
Here you go. Had to zip it to get it to upload.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah, I don't know what this is about:

E:Unable to locate '/recovery' partition for backup calculations.

Does /recovery show in your wipe list or backup list somewhere?

Is your device plugged in while making these backups? Can you try doing it with the device unplugged?

I don't see any errors in the log that would explain any issue you're having. The backup appears to be completing okay.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rom116:
No recovery in wipe list. Happens when plugged in and when unplugged. On 2.8.0.3 when the backup is complete is says "Failed" in red letters at the top. In 2.8.0.1 I get the initial error but the backup is successful. I actually updated my firmware before Sneakyghost put a package together and I wonder if that messed something up on my recovery partition. Hmmm. But I then reflashed the package he put together and am still getting those reccovery partition errors. Strange...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Right, but his package probably doesn't include a stock recovery in it. Something is messed up on your device. My usual way to fix that is to RUU, if you have one available.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rom116:
The first package i used to install the newer firmware did have stock recovery. So I flashed the 2803 after I flashed the firmware package and that's when I noticed the issue. I wonder if it's because the flashed the new firmware and then the custom recovery right afterwards without booting up in between.

So, you think if I reflash the firmware package with the stock recovery, then reflash the firmware with the custom recovery that would fix it. Or are you talking a stock RUU rom. I don't have windows I am on Mac and i thought there were issues running RUU's on mac computers. Am I following you right?

You can also use Simple Recovery Switcher from market.. Need root... READ the Manual! Or you Flash the img via fastboot flash recovery [image name.img] with adb fastboot tool.... If you don't know adb I advice you to read first many many pages here on xda!

[One (M8) Original Android Development] DROITURK182:
It's a known bug for twrp to flash the colors at boot, it has something to do with the kernel from what captain throwback mention. Now I haven't tried erasing cache and dalvic yet on the new recovery once I do will report if I have the same problem.

Can someone provide a screenshot? It sounds like the TTF isn't loading, for some reason. One way around this would be to use a custom theme, like Materialised. That would explain why I don't see the issue.

Hm. Try this - navigate to /sdcard/TWRP and delete the .twrps file. Then reboot recovery. Note that this will reset your recovery to default settings. I just want to see if the ui is just getting stuck somehow. I can't think of any reason it wouldn't be working. I should probably test it myself, lol.

I'm using the official recovery too, but this is what mine looks like:

That's why I'm confused as to why it works for me but not anyone else?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
My font is really skinny too and I get the same error 3 times as well, but my backup did complete though..
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
So yours looks like mine or the previous screenshot? Because the way it looks in mine is correct. The font is now RobotoCondensed-Regular, so it will look "skinnier."
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PieceKeepr:
I updated from Captain Throwback's 2.8.0.5 version to the official 2.8.1.0 but mtp is not working for me. MD5 is correct and I tried flashing it again but it still doesn't work. Any ideas?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] skulldreamz:
I feel like mine looks still skinner than yours but it may be the picture. I tried to take a screenshot in twrp and it says it saves fine but when I boot back into system it is not there. When I try to take a screenshot in system it says my storage is in use which is weird because last night I ran a ruu to clean my phone and screenshots worked fine until now. I have done nothing to my phone except install elemental with stock settings along with root and busybox and maybe 4-5 apps. Netflix, Chromecast, root explorer, Dropbox, Tapatalk, and adaway. Really strange....
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That's usually a permissions issue. If you delete the Pictures/Screenshots folder and let the system recreate it, it should work properly.

What is going on with my phone. I never have problems with my phone, I always keep them immaculate inside and out. Root explorer won't even let me delete the pictures folder. Gonna have to boot into twrp to delete or rm in terminal

I did notice the difference in font with the 2.8.1.0 update on the home page of twrp, but the text during flashing looks like a different style or older and that's when the three error lines pop up trying to load the font?

I'll try to capture a screen shot from recovery too cause I didn't even know that was possible lol

[One (M8) Original Android Development] cntryby429:
Are you also flashing viper rom? I know roms with involved aroma installers can take so long that TWRP will sort of time out in the background. You probably need to change the lock screen timeout setting in TWRP before flashing.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] enel_:
There is no CPU temperature in my recovery and I have the same issue like the other guys, 3 lines of red text + no cpu temperature.

International M8 here, SuperCID, S-OFF.

I'm affraid to flash the new Viper ROM, I'm affraid something is wrong with the recovery ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] old.splatterhand:
The recovery Captain_Throwback is using, is the newest test build with multirom support, which has some extra goodies like CPU temp.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
No, it's not. That screenshot is from the official recovery.

To all: the font errors will not affect the functionality of the recovery. However [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] should be rebuilding it tomorrow and the issue will be fixed. But again, recovery will work fine either way. Just ignore the font errors.

TWRP manager put file in wrong location?

Hi guys. So, I decided to update TWRP on Verizon HTC One M8, rooted, s-off, TWRP 2.7 installed. I used TWRP manager, it flashed the new version, but there was a message about where it was to put it. I forgot what I answered, but when the phone rebooted, it rebooted to version 2.7. I figured it didn't flash, tried to reboot to system, it then rebooted to version 2.8. When I tried to reboot to system, I had no operating system. I also could not restore any backups, failed. I was able to get back to bootloader, enter recovery from there, and restore a backup. All is back to normal, except I assume the new version is sitting in a folder somewhere. Does anyone know where it might have been placed so I can delete it? And, what's the best way to update to the latest version? Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Farzad_jodary:
plz check download link of img 2.8.1.0

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Well it might not be today after all . . . [MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] is trying to get a few other changes merged prior to rebuilding so it might be a bit longer. Like I said, it's just a theme issue - nothing that will affect functionality.

If you use a custom theme, you won't even notice it. In fact - can someone try something for me? Create a folder called "theme" at /sdcard/TWRP and reboot recovery and let me know if anything changes. That seems to be the only difference I can find with my setup and everyone else's.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] thebobmannh:
TWRP manager installs version 2.8.0.2, not 2.8.1.0, and when I manually try to install 2.8.1.0 downloaded from the website, TWRP manager crashes (bug report sent).

I have no problem flashing through fastboot, just advising of my experience trying to use the recommended install method.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] cntryby429:
It sounds like you installed your recovery to the wrong partition, maybe boot. Flashify well get it right or I would recommend flashing the .img file via fastboot to learn/practice fastboot commands.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
If the above doesn't work, I just built a quick version of 2.8.1.0 with the font issue fixed, if you'd like to try that instead.

Nope, doesn't work. Created the folder, booted into recovery, red text still there.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Sounds like your boot image got wiped out. Did you accidentally choose "boot image" instead of "recovery image" in Flashify? Either way, that has nothing to do with the recovery I built.

Owh ****...I think you might be right. Now you said it, I seem to remember in flashify choosing flash boot image. Unbelievable...how stupid am I?! :eek: ****ing rookie!
