Ive seen Logolas shoot out some serious flames before. But reading the reast of that hofo post, it seems like karma is catchin up to him
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
Your right, he has tried.. and he does currently have a different user id on here, but i am allowing him to plead his case with us mods/admins.. but i can tell you it probably wont last....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] todd_jg:
I admit, he is a bit harsh and may have taken it a bit too far, but who doesn't get frustrated. I would rather take some good advice from someone who demands that I do my homework, than get bad advice and a $500 brick. He is knowledgeable and helpful, if not a bit abrasive :D Seriously, if I had a vote (which I don't), I would keep him around for his knowledge I'll take the personality quirks that go with it. I realize this may not be a popular opinion atm, but he has unbricked a bunch of Hermes.

If i myself would have only seen what all has happened on the surface then i would probably agree with you, but there has been a lot that has happened in the background that most people dont know about, nor will we make it public.. but i can assure you that the things that have happened in the background completely goes against the xda spirit...

Well, if nothing else, this story illustrates what we should all know well by now ... the internet and technology makes this a very small world ... and there no longer is the fiction of maintaining/making reputations in isolation ... a quick stroll through the HOFO thread make this point crystal clear.

Not to get biblical, but the "reap what you sow" line comes to mind.

Mods: now that the kinder and gentler elf is back, this thread can be cleaned up and locked. Removal of the previous post would be appreciated. I do think that mods should be paid some respect - even from seniors. :mad: Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Perhaps another mod should do the cleaning as I seem to be in the firing line here. I would just say that the above graphic was a purely humorous post originally created at the time M$ was making us take down the ROM archive (Hence "no Mr Gates don't do it")- it was certainly not any kind of criticism of Shogun for whom I have great respect. Let's not loose our sense of humour.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ChaoticDruid:
Mike, I apologize, and not because you are a mod, but because I was wrong about you.

I never seen the image when it was used about the rom archive, and immediately seen it as bashing shogunmark.

@ Todd, "the kindler gentler elf" has already mentioned brainless people can't read in his posts already, and also, I don't care if I am senior or noob, (its fairly clear the intent of the Elfs avitar, even though Mikechannon had nothing to do with it) Im going to say something about it, I can't even believe he was let back in, to be honest.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] LegolasTheElf:
How did you get out of the insane asylum? I was told to watch my language.. I did that.

My avatar has everything to do with the ROM archive being removed.. What were YOU thinking it was?!? :eek:

Personally, I just keep hearing the Wizard of Oz when I read your posts... Something about the scarecrow and his one desire.. But, I don't quite remember the words.

Anyways, enjoy the rest of your day! And, thanks for your great input! :)

The reality is that you don't have to like or agree with me. But, if you really hate everything I do and say, just add me to your ignore list. However, what fun is it to only read one side of an opinion? Maybe you're one of those people who are afraid of having an open mind.. Things can fall out. :rolleyes:

UPDATE 10/02/2016- New version of TWRP has been released v3.0.3-0. See below:

https://twrp.me/site/update/2016/04/05/twrp-3.0.2-0-released.html

I have updated versions SM-T800/805 with new builds. TWRP is now v3.0.3-1

TWRP OFFICIAL APP RELEASED: https://twrp.me/app/

Fixes:

Download mode now available in REBOOT options.

Root Shell now available in ADB.

Radio and Recovery backup.

System image backup/restore

Factory image flashing.

Supersu root option removed. This is to pre-empt the upgrade to MM which would cause a bootloop.

MTP fix - MTP now finally working in recovery.

Note: On my PC MTP works perfect in windows 7, but on Windows 8.1 was a little quirky. If you get a USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED error after enabling MTP, disable then quickly re-enable MTP and this should fix it.

This version also has system image backup and restore included. It is also possible to flash factory firmware images via the Image install button. (see the TWRP changelog above for more info)

UPDATE 5/3/16:

Have modified the twrp source code and extended factory image partition flashing to include all images except SBOOT.bin (still working on how to flash the bootloader via recovery)

This means BOOT, SYSTEM, RECOVERY, CACHE, HIDDEN, MODEM(RADIO) can all be flashed from the factory firmware. No need for ODIN anymore. As far as I know the Tab S is the only device supporting this at the moment.

(Note: to flash the modem it is necessary to rename MODEM.bin to MODEM.bin.img first)

TWRP_3.0.2-1-T700

TWRP-3.0.2-1-T705

TWRP-3.0.2-1-T800

NOTE: Certain models of the T800 version have a bug at the moment where the screen will be blank when booting to TWRP recovery until the screen timeout kicks in. After that pressing any button will show the screen. As a work around setting the timeout to 15 secs will shorten the wait.

TWRP-3.0.2-1-T805/T807(ATT or Verizon not supported)

twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-t800_10217

twrp_3.0.3-1_sm-t805_10217

FLASH WITH ODIN OR FLASHFIRE OR EXTRACT THE RECOVERY.IMG AND FLASH WITH TWRP

NOTE: It is important to boot to recovery after flashing with Odin or twrp may not stick and will be replaced with stock recovery.

When flashing uncheck auto reboot in Odin, immediately after flashing manually reboot and boot into twrp.

Manual reboot is POWER + HOME +VOL DOWN then as soon as the screen goes blank immediately change to VOL UP whilst still holding the other buttons.

FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED PLEASE

Is it possible to rebuild or for the sm-n9100? Note 4 duos?

Offering a bounty of $20 bucks to anyone's paypal account.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
As long the bootloader is unlocked, and if someone has an stock recovery pulled from it, then he could be twrp for it ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] gcappa:
Bootloader is unlocked. But I already flashed a modified cwm which doesn't work too well. So not sure if I could pull the stock recovery unless I reflash the stock rom.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
If you have the firmware downloaded just right click on the md5 and open it with 7zip or Winrar, then simply just drag the recover IMG to your desktop and send it here(or link to download). I'm not going to go to much in depth as I don't want this thread to be filled with non related to twrp stuff. I'm also unsure if he has time but ash is one good recovery builder ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] gcappa:
Ok, I'll do all that when I get home and upload a link.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Should be possible as long as the right files are available. This is a snapdragon 805 device?

Seeing as I don't have this device you would have to test the builds and I would need some info from the device. Might take a few builds to get a proper working one.

I take it you are currently rooted? Also could you send me a link to the version of cwm you are using?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Is the sm-n9100 the Chinese version Note 4 Duos?

Again, you need to confirm what your exact model is and build number. As you can see from the post above it flashes fine on a T800.

Post a screenshot of the issue with Odin.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] RDDraco:
It's flashing for me ok on my T800 with IronRom 2.0. Only thing is the root ain't working. Or do I need to unselect auto-reboot and do a forced shutdown? And clear cache and reboot?

Well it didn't boot up with the auto reboot it was stuck in bootloader so now trying to wipe cache/dalvik and it hangs on formatting cache using make_ext4fs function

edit: reflashed IronRom 2.0 to fix cache issue. After the cache wipe it boots up

edit2: it appears to be rooted but it ain't working. But when an app should ask for root permissions the app goes black screen. For Titanium backup it just hangs on checking
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Did you update the supersu app as requested? You need to post a screenshot of root validator so I can see the status of root.

You may just need to select full unroot from settings in the supersu app then boot into twrp and run the root process again or flash the supersu2.46 zip.

Also regarding wiping cache, it can sometimes take longer depending on what's in cache at the time. It may seem like it's hung but eventually completes. On occasion I've seen it take up to a few minutes to wipe.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DUHAsianSKILLZ:
Just saying that root is broken on custom roms such as iron rom. It's an known issue with touchwiz lollipop roms.

-DUHA
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
So it's a Rom issue?

What's the actual problem?

Isn't the Rom already rooted, unusual for a custom Rom to not be prerooted?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] RDDraco:
Guess that explains why it wasn't working. (Tkkg1994 managed to get IronRom working with root in v2.0.5) so its fine for me now.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
Looked into this issue and have fixed it. Wipe Cache should work now. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Robin M:
Just today, I rooted my new Tab S (SM-T800) AFTER allowing it to OTA update to Android 5.0.2. After that, I used Odin to flash the latest version of CWM I could find for this device, and that trashed recovery altogether. Couldn't get into recovery at all. So I used Odin again to flash TWRP 2.8.6.0 and had recovery back, BUT I kept getting notifications that SuperSU needed to be updated. What I did then was flash

"BETA-SuperSU-v2.48.zip

", and that resolved the "update needed" problem, and all seems to be working smoothly now. :good:

I'm running stock Touchwiz Lollipop 5.0.2 . Haven't tried changing ROM's, but don't really have a desire to do that just yet.

Im sorry there's nothing else I can do here. I have the T805 and ADB works just fine, as you can see from the screenshot below ADB connected in TWRP:

All I can suggest is check the ADB interface driver is working in device manager if not I suggest you re-install the ADB driver whilst in Recovery mode.

[IMG="adb screenshot"]http://s2.postimg.org/xn3m4c6ll/adb.jpg[/IMG]
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tamirda:
Ok thanks.

Do you have a guide for reinstalling the adb driver?

Sent from my SM-G900F boosted by PhoeniX ROM
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
You can use this driver: ADB driver

Make sure you do all this whilst in recovery mode with MTP disabled.

Unzip then go into device manager and uninstall your current adb driver making sure to select remove the driver files also then reboot.

When rebooting you MUST disable Windows driver signing enforcement or the driver will not install. On windows 8 .1 you can do this by pressing F8 while booting.

In device manager you should see under 'other devices' SAMSUNG_Android.

Run the ADB driver installer, ignore any messages in the box about drivers incorrectly installed.

Next hit the install button and accept any warning boxes about unsigned drivers being installed, the driver should then install.

Check device manager shows the Android interface driver successfully installed.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tamirda:
for some reasons the adb driver could not install on win 10 64bit(that is the error it said).

Anyways I chose update driver from a list and chose samsung driver, and it worked. But I have to do it every time I connect it to my computer...
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
If the driver is the official signed driver from Samsung you shouldn't need to reinstall it.

Make sure you have removed all the previous driver files.

Ensure the check box is ticked when uninstalling the previous drivers.

You may have to this several times until all driver files are deleted. Just unplug your device and reconnect it each time.

I will pull the signed Samsung adb driver, you will have to install this manually but it should overcome any driver signing issue.

Thank You again, Ashyx, for this Wonderfull TWRP-Update! It looks and works great! Flash it with Odin without problems! But a Question - When i make a Backup, TWRP shows me at the begining of Backup-Process how much data in Megabytes it will Backup, and when the Backup-Process is finish, it shows a little bit less of Data!? In my case TWRP shows me to begin of the Backup-Process, the full Backup-Data-Size will be 4280MB, and after finish Backup-Process, it shows that the full Backup-Data-Size is 4228MB!? Is that Normal? Maybe TWRP compress any Datas at the Backup-Process?

And a little Side-Question - Have You seen any Intressting Infos for us, in the Reset-Knox-Thread, that i linked!? The People there writes, it works, and the Hardware of the Device there is almost the same as here!?

Thanks a lot!

It have been always like this, since day one! The actual backup size is a little bit less than was initially calculated by TWRP.

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] ashyx:
It seems to be failing when trying to restore a particular file. Maybe your data partition is corrupt and that's what causes the compressed backup to fail.

Its obviously related to your specific device as no one else is having the same issue and I've tried all sorts of ways to reproduce the error to no avail.

I'd format (not wipe) the data partition, reboot then make a compressed backup of it so it's clean.

Then try and restore it to both internal and external storage and see if you get the same error.
