no storage

I flashed via fastboot but when i try to to do a backup it simply shows an error "unable to mount storage" and it will also not read the internal storage. what did i do wrong? any help would be much appreciated, thank you! and i've always fastboot flashed recoveries on my previous nexus, i know L and the N6 are a bit of a different beast though.

edit: i'm dumb. i didn't see the post earlier about the require pattern on boot and associate it with the twrp pasword! sorry for clogging the thread.

it would be great if you could protect TWRP by a password.

I flashed twrp earlier and did a backup but now i cant reboot system. It just keeps rebooting into twrp. Can anyone please help me out? Thanks
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] natalic:
To anyone having the rebooting logo issue: Flash the stock recovery, boot into recovery, let it erase, reflash TWRP, boot recovery, it will reboot, boot into recovery again and you should be good (may not need the extra reboot, but I did)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Stock, rooted. Elemental X kernel. Cataclysm mod with MM29V. No custom rom with Android N preview. It's not the Rom's or kernels, it's the TWRP versions beyond 3.0.0.1 (which worked fine). I don't have to reflash anything. Everything works fine, I just reverted to TWRP 3.0.01.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] abalam:
So I have this problem too with 2.8.7.1 3.0.0.1 think I even going to try if you say that no longer gives an error. How do you flash the recovery, fastboot or TWRP / flashify ??
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
I used NRT to flash Stock N into custom recovery. Then flash in TWRP.

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION] downloading from the TWRP site on mobile still only downloads a ~5kb file instead of the whole thing. Any way around that? It's been like that for a while and I think I had the same problem on my laptop a while ago too
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
I think I know the answer. But, just to be sure, when restoring a TWRP backup, over a newer version, does the older Radio get installed from the backup?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wase4711:
nope, radio stays the same..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Thank you. So Radio does not change unless you flash a new image? I take it.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] wase4711:
yes, you have to manually flash your radio to change it
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 9wire:
Tried dl'ing several times, DL is only 5kb, tried twrp manager from the play store, get an error on instillation.

I have a galaxy note 3 running latest sokp rom and twrp 3.0.2.0

Today tried to encrypt using 6x6 pattern and after encryption the phone just behaved like if i had insttaled a new rom, some features did not work and when trying to boot to recovery twrp did not recognise the pattern.

Any ideas?

When booting into TWRP for the quick 1st time do I enable modifications of leave it read only?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] johnb380:
I enabled them personally. I believe it depends on if you want permanent twrp recovery or just flashing and going back to stock recovery.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
From the OP
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] emoney1219:
I just want to avoid the "your device is corrupted" or whatever is says thing on reboot.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
You need a permissive kernel to avoid that, I believe.

Hey guys, i wanted to confirm that when i install this latest twrp if i do data wipe i will be completely unencrypted?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] guitardoc64:
If you want unencrypted, you are going to have to wipe the SD contents and install an non enforcing ROM. It won't just be unencrypted from twrp recovery, but twrp makes it possible. Personally I never unencrypted and I don't have any problems doing anything. I just never saw the need for me.

Hello guys, I have a problem. When I am booting into recovery, and trying to get a nandroid backup, it gives me this error: "create tarfork() process ended with error=255" I am using Nexus 6 with TWRP 3.0.2.0, PureNexus rom and ElementalX Kernel. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Same here. Except I am Stock N3 rooted, EX 4.04 and layers. I posted the question a couple of times in the Q & A thread with no satisfactory response.

Edit: I think somhow, my System partition was Read Only.

Issue solved by reflashing N3 System and bootloader, re Rooting with 2.74 and EX 4.05 and setting System to Read/Write on initial TWRP 3.0.2 screen.

I'm running TWRP 3.0.2.0 on my n6 on preview 4. When I restore a backup, then go to the messaging app I see all my old messages for a split second and then the are gone. Is this normal behavior on N as far as TWRP goes?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Is there more than one messaging app installed? Which is set as default? I've had this behavior on MM when opening "messenger" but "messaging" was the default.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] puffingonj:
I just double checked and I have only messenger and it is set as the default.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Nergal di Cuthah:
Do you have google play services backing up app data, I thought I'd heard of something like this occurring when that was on (though I think it related to TiB and not twrp/nandroid, still may apply though).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] puffingonj:
I'll have to check I believe I do. Thanks, I'll report back.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Dunno if you're on AT&T, but I think their backup settings can cause this also.

Hi guys,

i'm still on TWRP 2.8.7.1 that works great for the things i do. The new Update is working well? I read the last few pages but it seems that to someone gives problem to others nope. In general is advisable to flash the new TWRP?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Yes
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] drmuruga:
My otg drive work well in nexus 6 but not recognized in n6 twrp , I checked in 3.0.2 , 3.0.0 and multirom twrp 3.0.0 also.anybody have this issue ? Any fix ?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] christianpeso:
Was it already plugged in when you booted into recovery? I found that if you boot into recovery, and then plug in your otg device, it will not recognize. You have to have your otg device plugged in, then restart and boot into recovery with it already plugged in and it should see it then. At least that is what worked for me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] drmuruga:
Yes. You save me. It work only by your method. But other android phones work when plugged in twrp . Anyway Thank you so much.

I used to be able to write to /system in TWRP 3.0.2 on my N6 but after the July OTA this doesn't work. Did Google lock in down write access somehow or just me seeing this?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
I'm not aware of any reason things would have changed. You can read the security changes on Google developer site: http://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2016-07-01.html. It's also possible that system is full and you'll need to remove some gapps from system to make room then install those apps from the play store.

You did mount system r/w? Did you save the log and look to see what might be happening? If not, try again and before rebooting go to advance and save the log.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcsww:
I had no issues installing TWRP 3.0.2 after flashing the July update. It worked fine to use it to root the July update as well.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sansnil:
Thanks for the tip on checking the logs - it turned out it was indeed a space issue. I hadn't had that problem before so I wasn't even thinking of the possibility.

Cleared some space, works fine again.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] CaktusJack:
Okay I might've run into a slight problem. I was already on version 3.0.1 when I downloaded 3.0.2, went to flash the image the normal way through the recovery when it gave me 3 options to flash it. Recovery, Boot & Factory (I think) so I chose recovery, flash the image then went to reboot recovery. Next thing it does is go into the factory recovery, and not it's giving me a message saying that it's in fastboot & I flashed the wrong image. Any way to remedy this & return back to TWRP recovery? Thanks!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
Use fastboot TWRP.me fastboot recovery N6

Took the latest security update and accidentally flashed stock recovery. Fastboot flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0 and it is asking me for a password.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Alxoom33:
Which device, which Android version, which TWRP? Need details if you want help :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] HueyT:
Sometimes you have to move TWRP folder to root of SDCARD for TWRP to see your backup folders (using File Explorer). It may be hidden under \storage folder
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kevdog98:
It is in the root of my SDcard folder, I just can not see the backups.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] ktmom:
You never provided any information.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sansnil:
You could try making a quick test backup of something small like the boot partition then check where TWRP saved it. Your other backup files need to go to the same location for TWRP to pick up on them.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] kevdog98:
Thanks for the reply turns out I had not copied the backup to the twrp/backups folder. After that it worked.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] 8zabi:
how about the new nougat 7.0 direct boot / file encryption in twrp? is it able to handle this file based encryption?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Golf c:
Yes it does for me. I think there might be a problem with backups? I haven't tried. Running fine though. Flashing zips and encrypted.

Edit: Think I misunderstood, no file based encryption in settings that I seen.

My 2 cents would be native F2FS but its already thrid party made so its more just a luxury but would be nice to see in stock. But TWRP 3.0.2 is a luxry we all take for granted. I remember the good ol volume rocker cwm days on my galaxy nexus. Glad to see how far we've come.

Not sure if this is a TWRP bug but has anyone noticed that after resoring a backup of android 7 the APN is being reset and that the developers options are missing from settings. Also i noticed that my text messages arent restored after using the nandroid backup

I'm having a weird issue....

I flashed the November update (NBD91P) and then booted into TWRP to flash SuperSU like I normally do. When I tried to boot into the OS, I got a bootloop this time around. I wasn't sure why this was happening but then I noticed that TWRP was missing (I didn't flash recovery.img only the bootloader, radio, boot.img, and system) and I was left with the stock bootloader.

So I reflashed everything and then flashed twrp-3.0.2-0-shamu.img as well. I booted into the recovery, didn't flash anything else, and then it booted in the OS just fine without root. The only problem is that when I tried to boot back in TWRP, it was gone again. No matter what I did, I can't get TWRP to stick. I'm not sure whats happening. Any ideas or solutions?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] The Doctor04:
I would do a total reset. Get one of the Nexus tool kits and start from scratch. Flash back to stock everything. Have tool kit root and flash TWRP. Then start flashing again
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Mao04:
Stock Android will replace custom recoveries on first boot if you don't root before booting into OS. It sounds like your root didn't flash properly.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] msaitta:
Thanks.

I know, but I tried flashing 2.78 SR1, 2, and 3.. nothing worked. I've flashed SuperSU thousands of time without issue. Not sure why it's happening now. Has to be some issue with the latest update.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] AlxMAX:
It's not necessary to root your ROM. You need to boot the recovery after flashing stock Android and let it modify the system partition if it asks for it. That should be all you need in order not to overwrite the recovery.

[MENTION=912474]Dees_Troy[/MENTION]

Is TWRP for Shamu still maintained by you?

I think we need the misc partition for the bootloader message to work.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Hello to all. Sorry for my BAD english, try to understand me.

I would like to have root on my Nexus 6, but on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. The problem is that, if I installed the 6.0 rom and try to unlock the bootloader and TWRP recovery appears a message that says that my phone is corrupt and is not safe to use, and does not start anymore.

If I install Android 7 Nougat and lock the bootloader the message disappears, and the phone starts again, as if nothing had happened.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] guitardoc64:
You will need to root as well as unlock and twrp. Rooting should get rid of the message.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] NLBeev:
Suggestion: keep your bootloader unlocked.

Download a prerooted stock rom and flash it with TWRP-recovery.

I've been trying to upgrade my TWRP on my Nexus 6 to 3.0.3-0 for a while now.

Also, attempting to downgrade to 3.0.2-0 through 3.0.2-1 or 3.0.3-0 doesn't work, and I have to use the Official TWRP App to do it. I'm having no problems with 3.0.2-0. Should I just stay there?
