I reinstalled a stock unroot 4.4.4 and it boots up ok. However, the touch screen still not working properly. Everything is off. Can someone help? This happened after I install the TWRP 3.0.0.0 MD5 file.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] bigbiff:
Sounds like you installed the Edge version of the note 4. You will need to search XDA on how to reset this in stock with dialer codes.

Yeah I downloaded the file from TWRP website and the only version for TMO is Note 4 Edge. I was thinking the work the same. Anyway, I've insurance so I already send in for a warranty exchange. So which 3.0.0.0 file is for regular Note 4 TMO?

flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-trltetmo.img with Flashify, TWRP works normally and seems to have installed succesfully... but the phone won't boot. full bootloop at the the T-Mobile splash.

any ideas? do I need to flash a stock image now? :(

edit: tried flashing twrp-3.0.0-1-trltetmo.img.tar with Odin, no change.

edit 2: flashed stock ROM -> CF autoroot -> TWRP 2.8.7.0 with Odin (using these instructions) -> TWRP 3.0.2.0 .img from here. Then flashed this custom Xposed and am now running everything great w stock + root, latest TWRP & xposed all playing nice. Thanks!

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] CVAngelo:
I installed (flashed) TWRP v2.8 on my wife's Alcatel 7041D running rooted Kit Kat 4.4.2 with Busybox. I've been using TWRP to backup her Data partition on a regular basis. I already have a complete SPFT stock ROM dump saved on my computer so other than an initial full backup of her phone with TWRP, I now only backup her data.

However, sometimes the backup of her data ends with an "Error: Unable to add file blah blah blah." This happens only sometimes but more than zero times is intolerable. But it works enough times that I feel OK about having a fairly recent backup in case something goes wrong with her phone.

But herein lies my problem. When the backup error occurs, it is ALWAYS on the same file (the Google Play Services apk). And after I get that error, TWRP will fail to backup the data partition from that point forward. So I am effectively stuck with the last TWRP backup of her data before the error occurs.

Can anyone shed some light on why TWRP would bomb out on the same file every time it bombs out? Is this a known issue? What could be the problem or any suggestions about how I can fix this?

UPDATE: So I suspected that maybe there was a problem with this Google Play Services apk file located in /data/apps. I moved it from there to the SD card using ES File Explorer but ES had problems trying to move this file. It would hang midway through and I would select "try again." Then it would hang again and I repeated the process till it moved the file. Then I booted recovery again and lo and behold, without that file present, I was able to backup the data segment without failure! I rebooted the phone and moved Google Play Services back to the folder where it was originally located. So new questions:

1. Why doesn't TWRP just skip a file that it cannot backup and simply tell you which files were problematic? I'd rather have 99.9% of my files backed up than 0%.

2. What on earth is causing the Google Play Services apk to get messed up to the point where it can't be backed up?

For those of you wondering why my Play Services apk is in /data/apps is because when I first had this problem, I uninstalled Play Services from /system/app and reinstalled it as a user app. The phone worked fine and I was able to proceed with TWRP backups. But then the "Error: can't add file" issue came up again. I'm still at a loss about what's really going on.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] bigbiff:
I know you are in the wrong forum, but TWRP is designed to fail hard and let the user decide how to fix their issue. We decided it is better to fail the entire backup, we cannot programmatically take care of every issue that may happen.

My guess is the EMMC segment failed that held the file and was unrecoverable. Next time you can try to a fsck in TWRP advanced options to see if it can be cleaned up by the filesystem checker.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] CVAngelo:
Thanks for the clarification about TWRP's hard failure approach.

On the other point, I'm not sure that this could be related to EMMC failure. If I restore my last backup I can continue moving forward for a couple weeks and I can make more recent backups. But eventually, something goes wrong with Google Play Services even if I had previously deleted it and reinstalled it. I think there is a problem with the Google Play Services program itself that is causing it to become corrupt at various points in time.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] bigbiff:
When you restore, the emmc controller will hopefully skip the bad block when rewriting the files. How old is your phone? I am guessing blocks are starting to fail on the emmc itself. When you restore, the controller should try to write to a bad block, if it is unable to do so, then it will skip the block and rewrite into reserve blocks.

Programs don't corrupt themselves, the underlying hardware can corrupt itself.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] CVAngelo:
The phone is a few years old. It came with Jelly Bean on it and used it like that for a year. I flashed Kit Kat earlier this year. The issue also happened with the previous version of TWRP (for the 4.2 sytem and kernel) as well as with this new version of TWRP for the 4.4 kernel.

Always the same file (Google Play Services) no matter where the file happens to be located. I know it's been in different locations because I've wiped and formated the system (and data) multiple times and restored multiple times. More than I can count. More often than not, I can backup with TWRP and the Google Play Services file gets backed up without a hiccup. It's just that at some point, that file is becoming corrupted by something? I can't believe the EMMC is suddenly going bad exactly in the memory location that file happens to be. Very, very weird. But very frustrating to have to deal with it over and over without knowing why it's happening.

Just thought that maybe someone else using TWRP to backup on a regular basis has had a similar issue. Or maybe no one is backing up their data as regularly as I am (at least twice a week). Lol

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] mdiaz33685:
Thanks for ur reply,

I can't think that is the problem due that I made a few new roms of the same MM update straight from the firmware, and I copy it from my computer to the phone, also copied it to the internal sd, unless it's the kitchen, it's [MENTION=673068]dsixda[/MENTION] old kitchen and maybe due to this new MM, and Samsung changing things because of the last 5.1.1 for N910T I had camera FC and needed a custom kernel for it too work,

I have tried so many different things to make it work, I just like Stock Odex roms, then I just make my own rom after its working debloating the Samsung and Google stuff that I can download from the app stores, so I can restore from titaniumbackup easier.

Guess I have to learn Linux, it kinda hard to learn by myself.

Thank u, for ur assistance. [emoji12] [emoji13] [emoji14]

If it can't a valid zip format, the zip is corrupt.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] mdiaz33685:
I just got a tip from another dev and found out the issue, the file is over 2gb, it started reading the file after debloating to get it under 2gb. :D

just wanted to let u know... hope there is a fix for standards not supporting over 2gb.

I would've probably figured it out if I made my rom 1st, because I debloat mine, making it a smaller file,

but keeping it full stock not removing anything was 2,209,501 so I do not remove anything not even knox files on stock odex rom...

Just out of curiosity - I'm wondering why every backup gets bigger - even if you haven't added any apps or any significant increase in data. ie: If I do a Nandroid at 8 am and another one at 10 am the second one is larger by at least a couple hundred Meg - And after a few Nandroids it's increased from around 5.3 Gig to around 6.9 Gig.

Is there a way to prevent backups from "growing"?

Thanks & Hope that everything is going well with you! :)

Hi, can you provide /tmp/recovery.log for each run? The only thing I can think of is some weird temporary data is being backed up.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Original Android Developmen] shaggyskunk:
Yes I'll get the logs for the next couple of backups & post the link to my Dropbox here. I did try wiping cache and dalvik before I did a backup a few weeks ago - but the backup still grew in size. It's not a big deal - but it didn't really make sense to me.

[test] twrp-3.1.0-0

Hi there!

We need someone brave enough to try out this test build of twrp-3.1.0:

twrp-3.1.0-_mone-trlte.tar

twrp-3.1.0-_mone-2-trlte.tar

For now it has been tested only on my trltexx (SM-N910F), we need to know if it works for the rest of snapdragon models:

trltedt(SM-N910G), trltetmo(SM-N910T), trltecan(SM-N910W8), trltespr(SM-N910P), trlteusc(SM-N910R4), trltevzw(SM-N910V)

Keep an official version of twrp-3.0.2 close by to reflash it in case this build doesn't work.

Flash the file via odin and make sure you can only install zip files for your device model and let us know.

Thanks to everyone that is going to try it out.

Regards,

_mone

Did you go to Settings - About Phone - Click on Build number 7 times to enable Developer Options and enable USB Debugging?

And you are flashing the img.tar from this link:

https://dl.twrp.me/trltetmo/

Open Odin 3.11.1 or newer version - copy the trltetmo

img.tar to the AP Slot in Odin

Remove and reinstall the battery without powering up the phone - Boot into Download Mode

Connect your phone to the pc click volume up on the phone in Download Mode - Click Start in Odin - Should take 10 to 15 seconds to flash and see the Green PASS.

twrp-3.0.2-0-trltetmo.img.tar but i think there is a later one like a 3.2 something, i want that one to try to see if it will work so i don't run into that bootup problem again unless you or someone else knows whats going on with it. :confused:

You are pressing the VolDown key instead of VolUp key

when your trying to go into recovery.

When doing the the 3 finger salute, press Vol-Up/Power/Home key

at the same time and your phone will go into recovery mode.
