Anyone have a flash-able img or zip for the latest version of this? I dont want to download some app I will never use again, this is a Nexus so I want to do it the right way.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] githyanki:
You can find them on twrp's web site. See post #1
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] El Daddy:
Let's not be jerks to each other. OK?

Thread cleaned.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] General_Tso:
On previous devices, I typically relock the bootloader after I install TWRP and CM. When I do it with the Nexus 6, I get stuck in a bootloop that flashes the TWRP splashscreen. I can fix it by flashing the stock recovery.

Can I no longer relock the bootloader? Is there a fix?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
Not sure about that. Only seen this issue with encryption enforced or mtp enabled.

Locking the bootloader isn't really beneficial though.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] General_Tso:
My thinking was if someone had physical access to my device and attempted to access it my data would at least be wiped. Am I wrong?

Would encryption be enforced or mtp enabled by default? I didn't change any of those settings.

Thanks for your help.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
Well yes if they unlock the bootloader, it will wipe the device. However, if you have custom recovery, they don't need to unlock the bootloader. They can access all your data anyway. Unless you're encrypted. Essentially unless you have stock recovery, locking the bootloader adds no protection.

Mtp is a twrp setting. Encryption is android. All nexus 6 are encrypted by default. You have to flash custom kernel that won't force encryption and then wipe /format data
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rebretz000:
Pretty sure something like that happened to me. Might be easier to ask the person it happened to but

did said person wipe system, data, and both cache.... if they wiped system did they mount/unount system prior to flashing?

I had a issue, can't remeber the ROM that after I wiped data, both cache, and system that the ROM wouldn't flash. Got an error.

I re-wiped everything, rebooted TWRP without OS installed, rewiped, manually unmounted system and flashed. It worked.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] General_Tso:
Okay, that is good to know. Thanks!

For what it's worth, my Galaxy Nexus was encrypted and I didn't run into this issue. Lollipop change?

Thanks again. I appreciate it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
Encryption *Should* work. I'm not saying it's caused by that, just that that is one of the only reasons I have seen this happen. Encryption has changed since KitKat too

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] might be waiting for a local dev to take over? I noticed many roms update radio.img and aboot.img but TWRP doesn't backup/restore them and the keyboard is deplorable bare missing most key long press values. However, this is the first TWRP I have seen that has display intensity working.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
Sometimes.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] C00lBeanz:
This is driving me nuts! I installed and flashed CF and Gapps using TWRP, but I forgot to flash the SuperSU zip file, and now TWRP needs a password to get in to decrypt my storage, which it clearly did not need before! What is going on? And what's the password? Please help me i'm new to rooting, I even used the toolkit (I know i'm a noob)

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
TWRP needs a password if your phone is encrypted and you have set a password. Does your phone have one?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rogersa2k:
Also if you chose a pattern for the screen lock. The password would correspond to the dots. For example a standard 3x3 pattern:

1 2 3

4 5 6

7 8 9

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] C00lBeanz:
It's not working, but it's ok I switched to pin unlock.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rogersa2k:
Weird, it works fine for me. I use a 3x3 pattern.

Noticed that some devices (Moto 360, Galaxy S4) have TWRP 2.8.4.1 out, anyone know why Shamu doesn't have a 2.8.4.1 build?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] brizey:
The last digit point releases are usually bug fixes. The S4 could be a PITA with recoveries. Seemed like .0 never worked well on any of the releases.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] agentfazexx:
Has 2.8.4.1 or later dropped yet for shamu?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
No. Read the post immediately before yours.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rebretz000:
Official no

Unofficial Yes with F2FS support. DHacker released it.

Check in [KERNEL][lz4] Nexus 6 + f2fs + Upstream Linux [3.10.67] thread if you want it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Link to 2.8.4.1 f2fs with support. F2fs running great on CM12 Nightlies. But clearing the cache now take ~2-5 minutes after upgrading to 2.8.4.1.

New TWRP Recovery v2.8.5.0 is available.

You can use Flashify to flash it... Works just great.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
Do we know what's changed?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Changelog from TWRP website:

"What's new in 2.8.5.0:

Scale the GUI - TWRP can read the theme's resolution and scale it up or down to fit the theme to your screen's resolution

Improve thread handling and move input handling into the main rendering thread to improve stability

Make MTP work even if unplugged and plugged back in

Unify scrollable list code and make kinetic scrolling feel more natural

Fix handling of mapped zip files for OTA updates (CM12 updater)

USB keyboards should now work on all devices that support USB host mode via a USB OTG cable

Other small fixes and improvements"
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
The change log was in post 1.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
It hadn't been updated yet when I asked. Definitely is now, though!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] danarama:
It had. It was there before your post, though there was a typo and 2.8.4.0 was the heading for that entry, but if you looked below that, it had the changes for 2.8.5.0
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] SamuriHL:
Ah, I missed that then.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] npjohnson:
Possible you flashed it as boot image accidentally?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adrman:
Worked fine here.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
no i flashed as recovery image. i dont know what to do tried restoring backup, but of course that does nothing. my phone reboots and then it just shuts down. i tried several times

Are you using a twrp theme?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
Yes I had one before I downloaded the new 2.65
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
I missed that too - I legitimately thought OP changelog had not been updated or I would have just told him "read OP" instead of copying and posting it lol
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] micmars:
My suspicions exactly. I always delete the theme folder whenever updating a version of TWRP.

I'm all for the phone looking nice, recovery included, but a working recovery is critical.

Ditch the theme folder and start over.

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

Plug your phone into the computer, grab everything off the internal, including the last backup, delete the theme folder and reflash.

You should be good to go.

If no theme folder, reroot the device, put the older version of TWRP back and let us know if it boots to system.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
My instincts always told me theming recovery was not a good idea and thus I never did - glad to hear my suspicions were not unfounded.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
Thank you both so much. I deleted my theme and flashed. 2.84 and it's working again perfect. Ugly but who the heck cares :) I won't be theming recovery again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] micmars:
It is worth it (one can take screen shots from recovery with just button presses), yet taking precautions is always wise, especially with one of the critical elements of the process.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Skripka:
Any idea when 2.8.5.0 will hit TWRP app? Still not there, here.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adrman:
I am, but I moved both the theme folder and the aroma file manager folder to a temporary holding place until I verified the flash was successful. Then I moved them back into place. As it turns out, there were new themes available for 2.8.5.0 as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wolfeyes30:
I do the same [emoji106]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] michmeister:
Wish I thought of that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] micmars:
See, recovery pics...and as is almost always the case, xda devs seem to be on top of things...as has been noted in the previous posts, updated themes are available for this version of TWRP.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] z31s1g:
Everytime a new TWRP version drops, I want to provide updated themes as fast as possible, to make sure users are not missing out on new features or run into any kind of compatibility issues.

I am very aware that the recovery is a vital part of a flashaholics device. No better place to seriously screw up a phone, for many users it is the last resort to rectify screw ups caused elsewhere.

This is why I am - in the worst sense of the word - pedantic about my themes. They have never, ever been just about making stuff look nice, but about improoving the user experience as a whole.

That being said, using a custom theme in general means using a potential source for errors. Nothing to argue here.

But if this is the argument against using one, then flashing custom roms and hacking the **** out of an expencive device that contains a lot of personal data doesn't seem to be that clever in general.

There's quite a solid base of users that are using my themes since the first version of Holofied. I take it most of them have grown confident that I take my contribution very seriously, and that I would never leave them with a crippled recovery for the sake of a fancy button.

Why am I writing all this?

Because I also use Flashify to update the recoveries on all my devices everytime twrp receives an update, simply because it's the fastest way to download and install.

And so far, it has worked every time, including yesterday.

The theme only works if the recovery installation was successful. The ui.zip sitting on the sdcard does in no way affect the image installation process of Flashify.

I'm sorry to hear that michmeister ran into a bootloop after updating. But he also flashed the recovery again after removing the theme.

And in my experience, that's what did the trick, not deleting the theme.

I'm not trying to talk anyone into using twrp themes.

But I strongly object to the statement that michmeisters experience prooves that using my themes in general isn't a good idea or even unsafe.

I simply couldn't let this go unchallenged.

As it's better to be save than sorry, one can take precautions before updating the recovery (such as removing the theme), but in my experience this is not necessary.

Any idea on how to get back to Nexus 6 stock recovery. Flashed it but don't really need now. Root is sufficient
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:

Hi all. Thanks for the recovery first of all.

I'm having an issue where once I flash TWRP, it stays on and it's great. However when I reboot into the system, and then try to boot back into recovery, I'm back at the stock android recovery. I've done this several times with the same result. I definitely do "fastboot flash ..." and not "fastboot boot ...". Anyone having this as well? Once i'm in TWRP, I also get a FAILED when trying to install the zip shamu root from ChainFire. Thanks for the help!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] zephiK:
Are you trying to flash chain fire auto root? If so, that file is not a flashable zip. It's a zip to be used on your computer.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] allen099:
Ah! And that'd probably be the issue then. Thank you. Would you happen to know what's up with the recovery, and why it's not sticking?

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adrman:
Yeah, I wasn't sure, as I've only been using a theme since 2.8.4.0, but decided to err on the side of caution. Thanks for your work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wrongway213:
Sorry if my post came off ignorant (it was - never used your work personally) or insulting (I hope it wasn't), I personally have never themed recovery due to fearing it may run into an issue. Theme engine is bugs on bugs - to me it makes no sense to increase the likelihood in any way that that will happen to your recovery - then where would I go to fix it? Im aware theme engine has nothing to do with this, just an example of theming going wrong. That's been my rationale for not touching TWRP theme, when I saw the bootloop issue being linked to a theme I simply assumed this was further "proof", if you will, that theming recovery is too low reward for too high a risk for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mistertac:
I've also been using your themes since the Nexus came out, and like you I've just used Flashify to update twrp each time without an issue.

Anyways, thanks for hooking us up with your themes, they really make it a much better recovery experience in my opinion.

V2.8.5.0 supports f2fs now guys?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] rignfool:
2.8.4.1 unofficial by dhacker has f2fs support

Dunno about 2.8.5.0
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] eng.stk:
Yes I know, I use that one.

Just wondering if f2fs updates were merged officially, since dhacker already did it with a couple upstream fixes from CM kernel.

Just tried 2.8.5.0 and it just reboots on start, so no f2fs support yet I guess.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] micmars:
This is a very good read, and I appreciate your integrity and dedication to your craft.

I've always been amazed at how much more I enjoy my phone when looking at the dark ui theme I posted, as well as the added functionality your themes bring to TWRP.

Can't Backup my STOCK 5.0 ROM

Ok last Friday I FINALLY got my 64GB Cloud White Google Nexus 6. I spent Saturday reading on how to Unlock the Bootloader & how to root the Nexus 6. I decided to use [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v2.0.4 [Updated 02/04/15] & I achieved everything I set out to do. I Unlocked the Bootloader & I achieved Root. Both Super SU & Root Checker confirmed root.

I had to kinda refresh myself because I have been on the Note 3 for the last year plus & they have only SafeStrap & the way to flash ROMs is a bit more un-user friendly if you will.

I am on the latest TWRP 2.8.5.0 & I want to flash Liquid Smooth, but when I try to do a backup for my STOCK 5.0 ROM it says backup Failed. I get this error... "E: Unable to mount storage" in RED lettering, then under it says "Full SELinux support is present" in GRAY lettering. Then under that it says "E: Unable to mount settings storage during GUI startup" in RED lettering.

Can someone please advise on why this is happening? I have never had an issue like this. :confused:

I definitely want to backup my STOCK 5.0 ROM just in case... Any help will be welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Ok, reading some more I found this...

If you have not unlocked your bootloader, you will need to do so. Hold volume up and down while turning the device on. You will be in the bootloader. Do a "fastboot oem unlock" followed by a "fastboot reboot" from your computer to unlock. This will wipe all of your data including internal storage so back up anything you might want first. If you do not fastboot reboot before installing TWRP, you will probably have to perform a "Format Data" from within TWRP. It is highly recommended that you let the device boot normally immediately after doing the fastboot oem unlock and wait to install TWRP after the first successful boot after the unlock

If I "Format Data" in TWRP, will it leave my device with nothing & then I will have to push a ROM through ADB?

**EDIT**

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

lol

My rustiness is showing real bad. I have a pattern unlock password. In TWRP it's asking for the number version of my pattern password. I entered it in & it finally let me do my backup. lololololololololololololololololol :silly:

Being with the Note 3 for so long & dealing with SafeStrap has adversely messed with my head... Things don't have to be so hard now that I am back on a Nexus device. Sorry I didn't mean to clog up the thread. Keep the good work going & ignore my posts!

Ohh & yeah I feel dumb. lol :eek:
