O.K,

Some users can get Downgert for now , but we can't know if samsung will block it in new Ver. of 5.0 and cause brick !!

For now in this 5.0 from poland:

1.Backup everything

2.flashed it with stock ANG7 (one file).

3.After I flashed, I caught boot loop but then I entered to the stock recovery and did Wipe data/factory reset and reboot - that's all

Thank you [MENTION=5706063]BaRTaSs88[/MENTION] for the info!

Thanks, but those are only img and tar files (ADB/Odin right?).

Was just curious if there was a zip I could flash inside an existing TWRP to update, did that all the time on my S4 but maybe something different now?

What is the difference between openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-gt-klte and openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-klte versions? What do I need to choose Samsung G900F (Galaxy S5)?

After reboot I can't find backup on external SD card too. Stock rooted 4.4.2. I think, the reason of removal of the TWRP catalog in updating of policy.

Samsung SM-G900F Galaxy S5, backup modem partitions

Samsung SM-G900F Galaxy S5, stock firmware 4.4.2.

Currently TWRP v2.8.1.0 to backup uses the next partitions:

/boot | /dev/block/mmcblk0p15

/recovery | /dev/block/mmcblk0p16

/system | /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

/data | /dev/block/mmcblk0p26 (Symlink_Path: /data/media/0, Symlink_Mount_Point: /sdcard)

/cache | /dev/block/mmcblk0p24

/efs1 | /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

/efs2 | /dev/block/mmcblk0p13

/efs3 | /dev/block/mmcblk0p14

/modem | /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

It is good, thanks!

Can you create backups of additional Modem partitions? E.g. /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p4

TWRP v2.8.1.0

Hi, I'm having some issues performing a Nandroid backup with TWRP. The backup completes fine and if I go into the TWRP file manager I can see the backup in the ExtSdCard directory. Backup options selected: compression & no MD5 checksums.

The problem is that when I boot into system, the backup completely disappears! If I boot back into recovery again and try and select restore, obviously TWRP can't see any backups to restore from... If I go into TWRP file manager I can't see the backup in there either.

Very strange! Any ideas?

I've used TWRP on many devices without issues but what I'm seeing on my klte S5 (G900i) is really weird. When I do a backup to either my internal or external SD card the backup seems to run ok but it doesn't actually create the backup. The TWRP folder gets created but there's no backup files in it. Backup up to USB seems to work. What am I doing wrong?

2.8.3.0 is a mess on my i900I. It doesn't wipe any of my partitions properly, and the backup feature corrupted my memory card (it's brand new btw, it's an ADATA 32GB U1).

Have tried flashing via ODIN several times (always passed), have tried several downloads and they all had the same result.

Then I flash back to 2.8.1.0 and both the wipe/format feature and the backup feature works perfectly.

By the way, on 2.8.3.0 the backup feature did work once, but after I ran the backup again on the same day it corrupted my memory card somehow.

I keep an older version of TWRP that works, as a tar file, so that if I have to go back to scratch I can load tar file through odin. (always a good safe back up)

Other wise I always use zip versions that I can flash in recovery.

I installed goo manager. It says it's unable to find a recovery for my device .. I have a tmobile s5

I was able to install the latest version twrp with flashify. One thing I've noticed is that in wiping, it doesn't show me the activity log as wiping happens, for example data has been wiped, system, cache, instead now it blacks out and returns back to the main menu when done. Is this normal behavior of twrp?
[Galaxy S 5 Original Android Development] quijote1:
I had something similar happen but during a restore. After restoring boot, recovery, and system TWRP started on data and a third of the way through suddenly switched to the TWRP splash screen and then to the main menu. It refused to finish the data section although I tried 4 times.

I am on stock BNL9 and made the backup the same day, compressed and without MD5 checking. It cost me many hours to set up from scratch.

Now I am afraid to flash anything until I have confidence in my nandroid.

On what version of TWRP is ktoonsez TWRP based? There were no issues with wiping and restoring data partition in 2.8.2.0 version of original TWRP too.

In 2.8.3.0 there were issue with accessing data partition. Backups made by 2.8.3.0 TWRP was broken, unable to restore w/o errors due broken access to data partition. Even restoring in earlier version of TWRP was not possible properly.

I have been using for some time CWM touch by Phillz but it is a bit outdated and I want to be sure that there is FULL support of lollipop.

Now 2.8.4.0 is released, in changelog there is no such specific info and that is the reason why I ask about that.
