TWRP Backup Failure

I'm getting ready for the imminent release of the new 5.1 beta, and ran into a problem with my TWRP backup that I have never seen before. I'm running B10, Internal/F2FS. When I run a TWRP backup, the first line in white is "Updating partition details" and the next line, in bright red states: E: Unable to stat "/data/data/com.google.android.gms/cache/pqc/12.pqc. The error appears one more time, and the backup eventually fails

I've backed up and flashed many ROMs very many times and have never seen this before. The one big change I most recently made was to go to /data as F2FS, which I expect is the cause of the problem. Short of re-formatting the "old way" and losing F2FS, is there a simple solution to this error?

Thanks again. This ROM, even as a beta, is by far the best one I've ever run on this TF700, and I've tried many. Speed, and even battery life, are excellent.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I'll try a back up later to see if I have the same issue.

Try providing a copy of the /tmp/recovery.log to see if it has any entries around this error.

File attached. It was in cache/recovery/ and was titled last_log. I looked in TWRP/Backups/ and found the recovery.log file for my last two successful backups (which appear to be basically the same file as the posted file last_log), but the backup from today, which crashed, does not have a recovery.log file as the backup did not complete to the point where the recovery.log file was created.

Thanks for the guidance....
[Asus Transformer TF700] lj50036:
I think TWRP moved where it stores the logs ..... Take a look here in the log ...

I:Copying file /cache/recovery/log to /cache/recovery/last_log

It looks like your backup location is ...

I:Backup folder set to '/data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/015d29955c33f811'

If you are trying to restore the /data partition you cannot have the backup on /data ......

Maybe move the backup to a microsd ......

Thx Josh

Hi, seems Im the last Person using the tf700 as my main Computer.

Thanks for the great roms so far.

Testet 5.1:

- snappier then b10

- more battery life (could this be real?)

- face recognition stops when accessing camera

- no second battery

Would be glad to have a 5.1 final ZOMBi some when on my beloved tf700

Many thanks to all for the good work!

[Asus Transformer TF700] jp071848:
Still no luck. Even with the TWRP backup moved to the MicroSD card, the same problem occurs.

I Installed omni-5.0.2-20150125-zombi_tf700t-KANG_signed.zip and ZOMBi-POP-B10_omni_tf700t-KANG_signed.zip . Tried both versions. A day or two the tablet works fine, then starts to hang. Very often hang. Only a reboot helps... Tell me plz. what is the problem?
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
i saw the "Unable to Stat" errors on my N10 and TWRP backups failing, also when using F2FS.

the dev thought it was file system corruption

he made some changes to the F2FS implementation, both in his N110 Kernel and in his F2FS enabled version of TWRP. changelog here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59290601&postcount=685

cryptic to me, but maybe will help the devs here :eek:

after the error, i switched back to Ext4 and have been too busy to change back to F2FS, so haven't tried to see if the problems got squashed.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jp071848:
Thanks for the confirmation. In the event that this doesn't get resolved quickly, I would probably want to revert back to EXT4. What's the easiest way to do so? I'm not sure I can simply restore my Feb 3 Beta 6 backup, as it may also be F2FS and might not resolve the issue. Better to just go back to EXT4 on B10, which is proving to be stellar for me. Hopefully, the new 5.1 will be even better.
[Asus Transformer TF700] drewski_1:
I've restored an F2FS backup onto EXT4 partitions (and vice-versa) with no obvious ill-effects.

That's actually what I did when I encountered this. Reformated partitions to EXT4 and restored my last backup, which was done on F2FS.

Wow, just found this today, was struggling over whether or not to drop CROMBi-kk or not, and remembered about ZOMBi, then I discovered this one. YAY!

Anyway, just want to confirm. I don't have to fully wipe if coming from CROMBi-KK, right? Just want to make sure. I'm dying to get home now so that I can D/L this one, and I don't want to break something in my excitement. :)

*Provisional Victory*

Okay, so I decided to get out the backup microsd card -- a 64g Samsung -- and sadly it initially went the same way as before with my other attempts at ram2sd installs.

BUT... then I decided what the hey, I'll wipe the /data directory from f2fs to ext4. I really like f2fs, but wondered... And sure enough. Install still downloading from the playstore, but all looks good. Verrrry interesting.

Next up: try it on the 128g card now.

sbdags (not that other name I dyslexically kept using!)...

I started laughing when I installed Nova this time. During install I (as before) unselected everything except Nova. It installed... but so did Apex! What the heck!? Hehehe.... Not a problem, really...

Blessings. Will post in this post (so I don't overdo my posting) what my results are w/ the 128g card and ext4 in /data rather than f2fs.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
OK let me check that install script right now! :)

# Launchers
checkbox(
"LAUNCHERS",
"Choose as many as you want!",
"@customize",
"launcher.prop",
"Omni Launcher","",1,
"Google Experience Launcher","",0,
"Apex Launcher","",0,
"Nova Launcher","",0

);

#-- Launchers --#
ui_print("Launcher");
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/launcher.prop","item.0.1") == "1"
then
ui_print(" - Omni Launcher");
else
delete_recursive("/system/app/Launcher3");
endif;
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/launcher.prop","item.0.2") == "1"
then
ui_print(" - Google Experience Launcher");
package_extract_dir("extras/launchers/gel", "/system");
endif;
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/launcher.prop","item.0.3") == "1"
then
ui_print(" - Apex Launcher");
package_extract_dir("extras/launchers/apex", "/system");
endif;
if
file_getprop("/tmp/aroma-data/launcher.prop","item.0.4") == "1"
then
ui_print(" - Nova Launcher");
package_extract_dir("extras/launchers/nova", "/system");
endif;

I can't see how it is selecting both... Unless you selected both? I'll have to test it later.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Could it be one of your files somehow got renamed? I have no idea of course what is going on. I was very careful to select only Nova and no others -- not Omni, not Apex, none. Would the program, when I unchecked Omni, think it had to auto-check another one? (I'm probably - no, make that a virtual certainty - talking like an idiot now....)

Not really a problem, though, to have an extra launcher. The F2FS thing, now that would be cool if it turns out to be fixable and not an issue w/ my two sd cards. Both are quite new so I'd doubt it, and were purchased *not* from Ebay. hehehe. It helps speed very much to have it.

I'm just about ready to try the 128g card with ext4 /data. ;)

Blessings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Thanks for the speedy reply. I'll do an app backup and flash the new ROM. Hopefully the backups will work. Don't want to start over from the beginning. Anyone here used the app backup mode included in ROM Toolbox Pro?

Will be keen to see how you get on. Got my eye on one of those babies just waiting for Amazon to have them in stock. Should have been Thursday but now it's the 27th which at least is after payday and I've been a naughty boy this month as it is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Just don't restore any rom system apps - otherwise you will have issues.

Lollipop is fundamentally different to kitkat so it may try to restore old dalvik files etc... You are much better off doing a full wipe, install, test then restore one app at a time just to be sure.

Remember to make a nandroid backup first that way you can always go back.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
I can attest to that! Couldn't get any play store install to start after I did a blanket restore from TiBu.
[Asus Transformer TF700] shonkin:
Boom! I'm up and running on my 128g EVO microsd card with ZOMBi-POP!

Notes:

1. /data formatted ext4 rather than the faster (but not working for me on 2 different cards) F2FS.

2. fsync is *enabled* -- but journaling is disabled.

3. Every other sbdags/others tweak (except the old "browser" speed-up which I stopped using on Zombi-X) is enabled.

One other thing I do which is purely a matter of taste... I turn off the three "animation" switches under developer options altogether. It adds to the feel of speed, and may even actually add speed. Someone else will have to report on that one's technical details.

Blessings.

i'm running F2FS on ROM2SD with a Samsung EVO card so it's working . . . for some :confused:

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:28 PM ----------

I used Rom Toolbox Pro to restore my Apps that were backed up in KitKat. It does have an option to backup/restore Cache files, but this is off by default.

I had originally used TiBu with another device as it was Lollipop compatible before RTP, but had several issues with apps not restoring properly and then whatever remnants that were restored were preventing re-install from Play Store.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Cool, thanks for the tips. I think that approach sounds like a plan. One more question: How do I tell what bootloader I have? I can't read ANY of the text on the screen when I get the 4 Linux Penguin/Teddy Bear things. It is the most miniscule text I've ever seen on a computer. :)

[Asus Transformer TF700] Mikey1969:
Wow, what a weird double post...

OK, I seem to have diarrhea of the keyboard tonight, but I keep having questions. I have one that is more of a suggestion/feature request or just plain crazy request... Being unfamiliar with what changes are and are not possible in a ROM, I'm wondering if there are ways to block the PLAY store from downloading updates during the most inopportune times possible, or if there is a way to put something in where you can block it live, right when it is slowing down the device? I know you can't play around with the Play Store app itself, just wondering if there was a way to block the app's access to the internet that it is possible to write into a ROM. I don't mind auto updates, but they should really happen at like 4 am, not when my tablet is experiencing its heaviest use...

Can't be done? That's fine, just wondering.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Teddy Bears? You gotta think about getting new glasses :D

Boot into the bootloader (Volume Down and Power), get a magnifying glass and read the tiny text. That's where your bootloader version hides. Should start with 10.6.1.14.......

REVISED.

Hey, my artwork pastiche with the Zombi-Monster Pop looked great! That was fun.

Internal install went fine. But my first external try bombed. Got stuck at the four penguins. Duh. I flip-flopped the installation w/ ill-advised use of rom2sd1.... at least, that's what I think I did. As in all cases where very late nights and human error collide, I have no real idea.

BUT... I *now* have Zombi running on both my internal and external partitions (dual boot). Seems *very* stable and the install both times went flawlessly, if overly slowly. Perhaps the slow part is *why* it went flawlessly.

Thanks again, sbdags. Will keep you informed if anything odd happens, but so far I'd say this is pretty dang good for a beta 1!

5.1 Beta 1 Dirty Flash over Beta 10

I've just run through flashing Beta 1 and everything is looking pretty good. I've dirty flashed since Beta 6.

I'm running on internal with F2FS. _that OC kernel. Performance is mostly good with minimal lag. Scheduler set to Performance.

One crash/reboot but probably because I was too impatient.

Will keep an eye on battery life and will probably do a wipe and reinstall or wipe before next build if another comes out this week.

zombi-pop 5.1 b1

Managed to get it installed and running, but not without some drama! TWRP 2.8.5.0 would not format my SD cards data partition in f2fs for rom2sd, so I thought I would put the card in a full sized sd adapter and fire up my Linux mint 17.1 live USB on my computer. Using gparted I unmounted the sd card so I was able to format /data as f2fs, but it was greyed out! I was so frustrated until I realized that I didn't have the f2fs tools installed!

A quick sudo apt-get install f2fs-tools in the terminal and I was finally able to format properly!

The next step was to head back into TWRP and launch the new installer. Everything went very smooth. I let the ROM settle for about 25 minutes or so and when I came back to set things up, it turned on within a couple seconds and has run faster than any other ROM I've used thus far! So, even though I've only had it running for a couple hours, it has been a good experience, but we'll see how things are in a couple days when the ROM has been used thoroughly. Hopefully the battery will be better with this build as well, but we are definitely having in the right direction!

Nice job sb, LJ, _that and hardslog!

Hello,

I use the current time has the Cromi-X 5.4, I would pass on the Zombie-POP 5.1b1, but I wonder if I would have a proper experience (good fluidity, no lag) with a traditional installation (no Rom2SD and no data2SD)

After two clean installations Lollipop finally runs on my tablet.

After the first installation (wiped everything) again it did not install anything from the Play Store.

The second installation succeeded better. I did a full wipe and complete format /data.

For the Google account setup I've chosen not to use the Google backup but a complete fresh installation.

But for now it does not run very smoothly. Installing an apk from Play Store can easily take several minutes.

The installaton of Titanium Backup Pro gives me not the usual Pro version. Uninstalling TB is not possible. Is it in System?

Can't find the SuperSU icon. even after flashing UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

Hi!

Great ROM!!! Thank you to all involved to rejuvenating my tablet

Quick question, I already have a DATA2D setup with BETA 5, for the new ROM is there a way to CLEAN FORMAT everything without taking out the SD card and using a PC?

Am I wrong to think that by flashing the DATA2SD.zip file we can proceed to format the partitions ?

Great work once again sbdags and crew. I finally decided to convert to f2fs and it's running great... that new twrp made it nice and easy to convert. Only one problem, I had to install twice because the first time around the symlinks failed. The only reason I mention this is that is was the first time ever that an install has failed on this machine, but the second time worked like a charm. I'm really happy to see the stock email app working again, but was surprised when I saw that it is absolutely identical to the gmail app itself... oh well. Things seem to be smoothing out with this rom as time passes. I guess google worked out some of those bugs with the 5.1 release. As always, great job and please keep up the great work!

The best thing you can do from TWRP is make sure when flashing a rom zip ...

It is a fresh boot of TWRP, which is easy as we added reboot to recovery from within TWRP....

So do all your formatting and what not then reboot back into TWRP 'a fresh boot of twrp' ....

Then do all your installing of zips and what not..... :p

That is probably what caused the symlink fail to begin with. I did the conversion on my data partition and went straight for the install. After the reboot the install went without a hitch.
