[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
My issue was no brightness adjust.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
Well... that's not recovery related, so... :eek:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
Actually it is,3.0.3-0 the brightness adjustment doesn't work, on 3.0.2-1 it works fine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Formhault:
Wow. Okay. What the hell...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
Yup, I run brightness at between 30-40% so I like o be able to adjust, however if I set it to that an then flash 3.0.3-0 it would stick at that setting so something is up somewhere but not sure
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ramblingPrankster:
No one seems to have said anything about this, but I was coming from Xanaxdroid's 3.0.2, which was working quite nice before it started to get stuck in boot loops, but this sure seems to work fine for me with data and cache formatted to f2fs. No more needing to use Flashfire and hoping I didn't screw things up, that's definitely nice.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] bigal1542:
How are people liking 3.0.3-0? I see the OP has not been updated, so I am a little hesitant to try.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] fahrer17:
I'm using it since I noticed it arrived - no problems so far.

But I'm no heavy user, a ROM update every now and then and some backups I usually don't need ;)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
As I like to tweak everything including recovery the only note I have about latest is brightness adjust doesn't work, other than that it's all good.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
I had a few issues with it reading my data, so I reverted to 3.0.2-1.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Same as 3.0.2.0, the option to backup a system image is removed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Any idea why it was removed. I thought my TWRP was broken.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Couldn't find update info. So only guessing. Rarely used...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BoredAtWork:
Is there a 3.0.2 or 3.0.3 with f2fs support build in for our Nexus 6? Can't seem to find one
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought TWRP v. 3.0.3 provides F2fs support. Shows it can convert data and cache partitions in Wipe/Advanced.

Don't know if it works, though...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] internetpilot:
Anyone else tried a restore with 3.0.3-0? Everything worked fine for me except SMS didn't restore. Thankfully, that's not a big deal for me, but I know it would be for some. I've never had this issue with 3.0.2X. Am I missing something obvious? I rarely use recovery these days. I'm not the flashaholic I once was, and now only use it to backup my phone right before I update the rather permanent daily driver ROM (PureNexus). On a whim I decided to try LineageOS, and then immediately went back to PureNexus via a TWRP restore and discovered the SMS thing. It's easily worked around with Titanium Backup, but I've just never lost my SMS messages on a restore before.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] razorloves:
Looks like you hit the bug that's described here https://review.lineageos.org/158954

Been happening to a lot of people on several, if not all, devices. Also mentioned in this thread a couple times, like here.

It was fixed in lineage rom, as you can see in the link above. But for those roms that don't have the fix, it is up to the recovery to have the fix, which the twrp shamu official build does not have yet. But the fix was merged into twrp source code a couple weeks ago, so the next official twrp build will have it. https://gerrit.omnirom.org/21634
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
It didn't work with my Nexus 6. It did work with my Pixel C, but it wipes the partitions that are converted, including internal storage. So make a backup. Also, F2fs slows the TWRP bootup from the TWRP splash screen tremendously. I went back to Ext4fs.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AlxMAX:
Half a year ago, I have attempted to built TWRP using the Omnirom source tree (based on Android 6) and the binary blobs from TheMuppets repository. The recovery didn't work properly because of /data encryption, but someone advised me to use DonkeyCoyote's repository. Switching to the other proprietary blobs and makefiles solved the problem. Yesterday, I have attempted to built TWRP using the Omnirom sources based on Android 7.1 and the corresponding proprietary files from DonkeyCoyote's repository. After the first build attempt, the recovery was stuck again at asking me for password to decrypt the /data password. A search for differences between the android-6.0 and android-7.1 branches of the DonkeyCoyote repository has shown there were more files (some keymaster files and 2 other modules) which were taken into account when building the recovery ramdisk. Adding those files to the right makefiles helped me build a working recovery (version 3.1). My question is if the way the decryption mechanism is about to be changed. I mean do you plan to drop those supplementary files from the recovery (their size is quite big which made the recovery fatter) and use other mechanism to decrypt the /data partition?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
A pain yes but on play store there is an app called sms backup and restore, i use is daily( auto backup to internal + G drive) it's free fast and saves you from any missing texts,
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
How do you restore messages with Ti Backup?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jlokos:
I use textra; I go to textra in TiBu and restore the latest backup.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
What if you don't have Textra?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jlokos:
My guess is that if you use another app for messaging, you would go to that app in Tibu and restore data backup.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] BootloopedMillennials:
Nice 3.1.0-0 is released for Shamu.

I was stuck on 3.0.2-1 because of issues with 3.0.3-0.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] internetpilot:
By backing it up first... ;)

Seriously, you'd have to back up SMS first. I use Google Messages for texting, so I just backup "Messages (SMS & MMS)" in Titanium Backup. Since I'm using Google Messages, it's considered a system app/data, so I have to back it up separately from my usual user apps/data backup. When you restore it, just restore data. Poof! Messages are restored.

I can not install opengapps aroma with 3.1.0, the installer crashes around mounting system r/w

anyone else can confirm this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wase4711:
the word is that anything using an AROMA installer does NOT work on this latest version...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] II_DiE_4:
Uhm.. I installed arise aroma with 3.1 and everything is fine
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adm1jtg:
Opengapps aroma crashes for me often just run the install a few times eventually it will install.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Cobra11Murderer:
Yes it works on Google messenger to, done it in the past no probs
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jimbomodder:
That's often the the aroma package it's self, i had an older aroma gapps that crashes at 4% every time yet another aroma gapps doesn't. Last one I knew worked is 20170304( open gapps)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lawstorant:
Streaming to PC doesn't work for me. adb tells me to unlock device and confirm but TWRP does nothing :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AlxMAX:
Now I'm sure whoever packed the official recovery has done the same thing. So there's a small problem with the DonkeyCoyote's repository.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AlxMAX:
Conversion from ext4 to f2fs with encryption

I was planning to pass to f2fs to for the user data partition of my phone. Right now it is formated as ext4 and encrypted with a password. All the guides I have read suppose to backup the data, format the partition as f2fs then restore the backups but I haven't found one dealing with the encryption too. All these steps should be run in recovery (this is why I thought to post the message here). TWRP doens't use vold for decryption on Nexus 6, so I can't use the vdc command to encrypt the user data partition after the formattting it. I suppose I lose the encryption when formatting as f2fs. What other tools may be used in recovery to re-encrypt the user data partition?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Just FYI, F2fs will slow down your TWRP recovery to a crawl. At least that was my experience.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AlxMAX:
I have noticed that too. It stucks at Updating partition details for long time, then it comes back. I suspect some problems in twrp.fstab. This file, twrp.fstab, goes to the recovery ramdisk when building with the Android 7.1 source tree and I see no entry for f2fs inside.

Edit: I have done the conversion, eventually, and I have noticed the encryption occured above the file system driver. I didn't have to run any command to re-encrypt the user data partition.

Edit2: Nope, it was not twrp.fstab or fstab.shamu. It may be the MTP sharing engine.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 8zabi:
same problem here

/sbin/sh: /system/bin/bu: not found

there is a bugreport on twrp's github with the same problem, expect it's a Nexus 5
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Lawstorant:
Yeah, people over Pixel's forums also reported this issue.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] garywojdan81:
3.1.0.0 doesn't appear to play nice with aroma either.

Had to revert to 3.0.3.2.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dopamin3:
ElementalX Aroma installer worked fine for me. I guess it's only on certain AROMA versions.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] garywojdan81:
Could be. It freezes when installing coolexe's coolpixel mod v.9. That's the only aroma installer that I've tried.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ASHLEY117:
Pixel mod aroma sometimes freezes on 10% at random times so you just need to reflash. Happens randomly for myself.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] garywojdan81:
Went back to the 3.0.3.2 version and everything flashes fine

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] xNotta:
Anyone else experiencing issues with OTG?

Never automounts, have to restart recovery. Frequently just stops and causes backups/restores/installing to fail. It's been causing windows to detect a problem and repair a problem after mounting a card with OTG.

What's most annoying is the unreliable backups, they are always incomplete or fail but their MD5s check ok eventhough my system backup is 0kb and fails to restore completely. I have been doing 4 backups each time because 2-3 of them will fail to restore.

Just failed another backup with "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255"

Internal storage backup seems fine.

I'm on Nexus 6 and TWRP 3.1.1-0 using a 32gb UHS-1 sd card.

MTP also seems problematic, even though it's enabled the computer doesn't see the device until I restart recovery.

A non-crucial issue is the lack of wireless charging inside of recovery, also back ups show the progress percent at 101%+ complete. Those are probably just me being picky.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Try cleaning the USB port and use a slower sdcard.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] az_r2d1:
I got a new nexus 6 (owned it before, had PN on it) so I manage to unlock it with fastboot. No problem. But then I try to install TWRP with fastboot (using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img) and it seems to flash but also tells me this:

(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (11757 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.371s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.177s]
finished. total time: 0.548s

Then after this it doesn't seem to boot into recovery but I get the broken android screen with the no command at the bottom.

Any idea? Phone is definetely unlocked. It reports so when in the bootloader, unlocked status code 3
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
Is the oem unlock setting in developer options correctly showing unlock. Are you using ADB to flash twrp. Have you tried wugs to flash twrp then manually update your twrp to latest from within twrp
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] an21281:
Are you sure you have the correct twrp recovery in the adb/fboot directory? After I reset my phone(flash stock+ unroot) with wugs all I do is boot to bootloader and run "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Then after scroll down to recovery, hit power and it boots to twrp. I rename twrp.img to recovery.img, that shouldn't matter if it's the correct file though.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] az_r2d1:
ok, so in another thread someone suggested to use an older version of fastboot. I did that and no longer get the errors when flashing, seems to flash ok. BUT, after the reboot, I shut it down again. Then get into the bootloader and select recovery and still get the dead android with the NO COMMAND at the bottom...?

Yes, I tried this thru ADB.....

---------- Post added at 01:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

The option is now grayed out. Is this supposed to be grayed out when the phone is already bootloader unlocked ?

haven't tried wugs yet. Going to try I guess...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
Afaik absolutely should not be greyed
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Dixon Butz:
At the dead robot no command screen, press and hold power, then press volume up. It may take a few tries. Some say to press and hold power. Then press vol up and down at the same time.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] az_r2d1:
When I do a fastboot OEM lock it no longer is grayed out and I can switch it over...
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
Is it now, with the switch to on, still show unlocked on reboot?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] az_r2d1:
No, it then shows it is locked in the bootloader.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
:confused: well that seems odd. I'm not sure what to suggest next (other than running oem unlock again with the switch in the on). But as I said I used wugs and all turned out fine
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] az_r2d1:
ok, I used wugs and it installed twrp just fine. It did use an older version so my guess is that the newer twrp is the culprit.

Thanks for the help ! And yes, it seems the oem unlock being grayed out once unlocked is ok.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
The official twrp app will get you latest version and will flash twrp within android

broken usb port flashing recovery

so i have been infected with what seems to be a common broken usb port on my nexus aswell and honestly it doesnt bother me that much except i wanted to know how sketchy it was if even possible to flash recovery say via ADB wifi ? if anyone has any experience in attempting this lemme know thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] elkay:
Are you already rooted? Just use Flashify from the app store.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Black_Hat01:
Not sketchy at all really, assuming decent internet connection...plus you do normally flash recovery via fastboot, not even sure how to with ADB. I think your best bet is flashify or flashfire if you are rooted.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] roadmutt:
depends on the phone i guess i use whatevers convenient ADB, odin, kies, i found some binary write tool aswell cant recall the name of it but its for ubuntu (linux) i dont even recall if its designed to be a flash tool but it most certainly was the most unbiased one ive used ALTHOUGH you have to be super careful with it quadruple check everything cuz if you make a mistake with that there is no coming back your phone doesnt know it has a power button anymore type of stuff

Isn't it funny I had all my files downloaded that I needed to root and unlock my Nexus 6 and they just up and vanished like a fart n the wind..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Did you unlock the bootloader with the files on your device? If so, that's where they went. Unlocking the bootloader wipes the user data.

Anyone have a working 3.2.1 with f2fs support for the Nexus 6? I've been using 3.1.1-6 without issue but could not enter recovery after I flashed 3.2.1.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] II_DiE_4:
Well, IMHO, f2fs isn't worth it. Not a single, repeatable evidence that its faster. On the contrary, its a headache, especially if encrypted. Also, our device, and google android in general, are made around ext4. Stick with that.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ethanhunt123:
I'd like to see this as well. The merits or drawbacks of f2fs could be argued, but the truth of the matter is that many people use it, and I'd love to see it officially supported by TWRP.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] yoheidiho:
Too late for that. I have been using f2fs for the past 6+ months without issue.

I'd rather not wipe my device to upgrade from LOS 14.1 to LOS 15.1. Now that begs me to inquire if TWRP 3.1.1-6 can support LOS 15.1 which is based on Oreo 8.1.

Does anyone have experience with 3.1.1-x, especially 3.1.1.6, with Oreo 8.1.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ethanhunt123:
Yea I was able to install it using 3.1.1. You have to modify the install zip script so the that script doesn't asset the device name. Otherwise you'll get a Error 7 when installing via twrp. Google videos on linage os and getting around Error 7
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ethanhunt123:
Also I ended up converting back to ext4 with a process similar to this one: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-formatting-ext4-to-f2fs-losing-t3352116

and just caved in and flashed the official 3.2.1 twrp.
