how to update TWRP if stock on bootloop

my situation:

nexus 5

(android 4.4.2)

rooted

encrypted (i have set a pattern to unlock)

TWRP 2.6.3.4

Xposed module (not sure which version or if it is relevant at all)

xprivacy (not sure which version or if it is relevant at all)

suddenly, while i was surfing twitter, the phone restarted and attempted to install an update (not sure if it was 4.4.3 or 5.0).

The phone went into bootloop. I held the power button and volume down and this took me into bootloader. from there i started TWRP. I was greeted with "please enter your password". I entered my pattern following the below arrangement

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

after several attempts which always ended with "Password failed. Please try again" i hit "cancel". This took me to the main TWRP screen. I hit "mount" to find the following..

"Select Partition to Mount:"

[ ] System

[ ] Cache

[ ] Persist

[ ] firmware

[ ] USB-OTG

below them there is a line that says "Storage: Internal Storage (0 MB)"

below that it says "Decrypt Data". If i touch it, it asks to enter my password. Again, i enter my password and it says password failed.

The log has this:

Updating Partition details...

E:Unable to mount ' /cache'

E:Unable to mount ' /persist'

E:Unable to mount storage

E:Unable to mount ' /cache'

E:Unable to mount ' /cache'

E:Failed to decrypt data.

I think that i need to update TWRP to 2.8.2.0 at least in order to decrypt my data as previous versions don't support decryption and/or pattern passwords. Am i right?

if so, how can i update TWRP to the latest version ?

I tried flashing 2.8.4.0 through fastboot with no luck. I have tried the following during the flashing process:

1) flashed it and then tried starting TWRP immediately.

2) flashed it and then restarted bootloader and then tried starting TWRP

3) flashed it and then started system, which took me into bootloop, shutdown phone

and restart into bootloader then tried starting TWRP.

No matter what i do it always goes back to 2.6.3.4 :crying:

can it be updated from within TWRP itself? if not how can i update it?

Hello!

So I've installed Cataclysm on my phone and I've started having some serious problems with it. I've noticed the problem when trying taking a photo. A warning displays INSERT AN SD CARD BEFORE USING THE CAMERA. So i've restarted the phone, restored factory settings, wiped everything and the problem remained. Next thing is that I've decided to go back to some older ROM but then an even bigger problem occured. I've connected it to my computer, opened internal storage and it was all EMPTY! Nothing was on it. I can't even see the system files. Then i've tried copying the new ROM onto thhe empty internal storage but in the process it ALWAYS looses the connection. Then I took off my sweater since things were starting to heat up, opened chrome on my phone, tried to download it through wireless and when i clicked download, the familiar error occured: No SD card... I've ran out of idead :/ The problem is even bigger since it is a company phone and i really really really need it fast :/

I hope that you can all help me find a solution.

EDIT: Installed TWRP manager, fixed SD, rebooted, problem fixed!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moose321:
Storage almost full

Due to issues with SD card space I had to install TWRP Manager and it worked. But now I've noticed problems with storage . 3,2 GB free out of 12,5 GB and there is nothing on it! Just system files.

The first pictures show the files created by TWRP manager, photos are empty, videos....

Picture 1

The TWRP File is 6 GB big, though it includes only a backup folder.

And there is this folder '0'. This ofcourse include all the files before the problems with SD card. Empty aswell (500 MB).

Picture 2

So, what do i do here to free some space?

Thank you

EDIT: Can't link photos yet.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primokorn:
First off, you do not need TWRP Manager or any other app to manage your TWRP backups. With no screenshots I'd suggest you to delete all files linked to backups then go to TWRP and perform a new backup with compression enabled.

On my device the size of a backup of a Lollipop rom with 170 apps is 1.8Gb.

QUESTION

Just a curios question, how is twrp developed and what tools where used when developing it. I would really appreciate a reply, I just finished my latest project and (it will be on xda soon) but I've been deciding what to do next, and I've considered making custom recoveries as a possibility.

So can somebody recommend a good tutorial or tool for such things.

Yes if you follow the installation steps correctly !

Root is a system thing, my rom is Pre-Rooted (sometimes fails)

Recovery, this depends on how you installed Recovery, you may have to reinstall the Nut's Dual Recovery if you used that

wipe Cache and Dalvik when installing, nothing else is needed to be wiped, if you bootloop then wipe data

Hi guys,

Just got my new Gwatch R. I cant seem to get a heart rate reading at all. Can anyone else get it to work? I'm trying through "ok google" and "check my heart rate".

Is there a clear cover sticker over the sensor? I can't seem to see one.
[LG G Watch R] Pondy:
I've also noticed that the green light doesnt come on when I try to take a heart rate reading.
[LG G Watch R] seepage:
I usually say "show me my heart rate"' but just tried check and that worked too.

Do the words you speak appear on the screen?
[LG G Watch R] ro_explorer:
Try an alternative app for this ... something like: Cardiograph

If it's still not working it probably means you have a defective unit that required replacement. Mine works just fine with both native and 3rd party apps.
[LG G Watch R] bryjenko:
are you getting the "tighten band and try again" message? Thats what i'm getting. I got 3 readings then it stopped. Tried power off and reboot.
[LG G Watch R] Pondy:
Thanks for the replies guys, just worked out, I am running a developer version of Lollipop. Confirmed this is the cause, paired with mates N5 and it worked fine. Weird.
[LG G Watch R] seepage:
It is one of the few things that work when not paired to a phone, so that should make no difference.
[LG G Watch R] bryjenko:
Its likely the re pairing that fixed... I noticed issues with mine not working and it was because of an issue talking to the Google Fit app. I re syncronised that watch and boom working again.
[LG G Watch R] Pondy:
I tried repairing, hard resets. None worked. When paired to lollipop it did some kind of firm ware update. I'm pretty sure that's broken it. When hard reset and paired to kk, there was no update applied and it works. I'm now running slimkat and it's working perfectly.
[LG G Watch R] Pondy:
Each time I hard reset and paired with lollipop it applied the system update to the watch.

it happened to my oneplus one android lollipop as well. it just won't work, but i tried with cardiograph and it works.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] antjones21:
The phone has some slick features like the Moto voice services where you can wake up the phone with your custom voice command with the phone being up to 5ft away from you. It also detects when you are at home, work, in a car or sleep and automatically changes behavior of apps based on where you are. The home screen widget is nice too, it gives you up to the minute weather details and lets you know how soon it'll rain or snow down to the minute. The battery life is amazing, once you leave the house you never have to worry about using a charger for the rest of the day.

Now those are all great but the good ends there with me. The camera was subpar and all weekend I was out at events and parties and I wish I had my Note 3 with me to take pics. A lot of the pics came out blurry, the eyes on people where white devilish looking. The call quality sucked too, I had the volume as high as it can go and unless you are in a completely silent room you will have a hard time hearing. I went to the gym and had my beats headphones in and volume to the max and I could still hear the gym radio. There's no notification light on the front of the phone, this to me is a huge disappointment. I use the Lightflow app and i have a different color light for every notification and it comes in handy when you want to know what type of notification is awaiting for you without touching the phone.

I will be returning the phone this week and going back to using my Note 3 while I wait for the Nexus 6 or Galaxy Note Edge to come out.

Pros - Great battery life, premium metal feel, home screen widget, lock screen notifications look nice, Moto voice services.

Cons - Screen isn't too bright, low ear piece volume, low volume with headphones, poor camera, kind of slippery in hand, no notification light, no removable battery, no expandable memory.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] El Perfecto:
Good review. I agree with all of it.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Not sure what your problems are with the camera... I have an S5 and Turbo tends to take better pictures in most situations by far, especially in low light. It's not the cameras fault that you can't hold it steady when taking a photo...

I think your only valid complaint would be the LED notifications. Which if you did any research at all before buying the device, you would of known before purchase it did not have. Everything else can and most likely will be addressed soon. The storage complaint is old, 32GB is fair & they offer 64GB at a competitive price that no one else is really matching.

Go have fun with TouchWiz & Samsung plastic I guess.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Xelios029:
Go into settings, sound, and audio effects. Disable the equalizer. Everything will sound miles better.

Camera is kinda slow though, I'm with you on that.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] antjones21:
Lol wow, you act like my review was about you. I'm going to post a few pics and you tell me if they are great or not. I've seen other post where people had to tweak settings etc but my Note 3 took way better pics. Even when I use Snapchat the focus seems slow and delayed. It seems like you have to as still as a statue to take a good pic and that's not always an option. And as far as the notification light issue, I just figured that was standard. Even if I knew it wasn't there it's still a negative against the phone.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] antjones21:
Here are some pics from my Note 3
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] tehmanmuffin:
no offense but I don't think it's the camera...you're just bad at taking pictures
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo General] Andromjb:
Nah. I just think a lot of the comments around here are quite silly towards this phone. It's like people went and purchased the phone without even doing any research and expected it to be better than anything on the market.

I agree, those pictures are quite bad. However, it's not purely because of the camera itself.

For one, you are using 15.5 MP 16:9 and not the full 21MP 4:3, which tends to produce a much better picture. Secondly, you are most likely just randomly snapping without even selecting a proper focus exposure. The pictures are blurry in most cases because of the low light situation, you probably have HDR enable for some reason and the fact you don't have a steady hand while taking the picture does not help. Third, I notice flash in most every shot, which on any smartphone will tend to produce a horrible picture.

You just point and shoot. So your pictures are bound to be bad.
