Dammit I almost wish it were the recovery cause its so easy to flash. OK, Thanks guys I'm off to google to find out what corrupts SD's. As a side note though, I'm getting very good at the initial setup each time i flash a new Rom because of this! No thank you Google, I don't want to help you help me help some app determine my location...I know where I am thanks.
[E 2015 Android Development] MattMattAttack:
Giving you thanks! TWRP original was giving me errors and junk!
[E 2015 Android Development] xpmule:
I would guess that guy is right Billy

I went through that late last year with a 32gb card and got a new one..

Same software / hardware and not one problem since.

It is possible they get old and worn out and need to be replaced.

They have a limited life cycle of reads / writes then they die.

I had to laugh when i went to Wallmart to grab a card and seen the usual two "expert" kids..

I had dealt with them before and seen them on many occasions walking by the electronics section.

And WOW are they young + conceded little know it all's.

Funny part is through all of time no matter what i have said to them they have played dumb or argued.

While at the same time trying to be ultra condescending as the authority on all things electronics.

SO when i had told them of my Micro-SDCard issue they both played like i was insane and both guys had never heard of the problem even once.. i told them i Googled'd it and it's common FYI.

I think they were upset because i interrupted their one upmanship of bragging condescension.

I had seen them walking by always talking to each other IGNORING customers bragging about nothing.

So.......

Yeah ;)

Faulty / corrupt or dead Cards are not unusual at all.. it happens !

Be careful with little children you take your advice from LOL

In other words i would bet anything that is not a Squid's TWRP build problem you have Billy.

I concur with the other guy and suggest trying to get a new one and giving that a shot.

Don't be alarmed either if you get one brand new out of the box that is FAULTY either.

I have been using this last build Squid shared and it's been working perfect for me.
[E 2015 Android Development] squid2:
Definitely. I've had two microSD cards fail in the last 18 months (on different devices). Mind you, I have close to a dozen SD cards in various devices, but these cards certainly do fail. One failed gradually, losing/corrupting data a few times before failing catastophically, and the other just died completely all of a sudden. Curiously, I've only ever had microSD cards fail and not full size ones.
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
Hmmmph. Thanks for the info guys. Yeah I was hoping it wasn't recovery related because Squid-TWRP is the best part of my phone. My last MicroSD issue (the one I posted about) was sorted out. I reformatted with Windows 10. Took like 45 mins!

Any way I'm bewildered again. Just a few days ago I look down at my phone and its sayin "SD card missing, please reinsert SD card." At first I thought, well, that's pretty demanding. But it's happened three or four more times since and always popping it out and popping it back in satisfies her. Popping it back in restored everything to A-OK.

But...

Today my Rom started to glitch probably because I'm daily testing out the many multiple combinations of Roms, kernels, and GApps for moto e 2015. Lte. Surnia. Xt1527. I'm usually on Resurrection Remix, I find it reliable and dependable. So there it goes being neither of those things all acting out like and throwin tantrums and shi_ and causing a just a plethora of FC's, random Re-Boots, SUI touches wouldn't register first time and had like just a general overall malaise. Like its sick and all sluggish. I found a Rom/Kernel combination that enables me to clock out at a max of 1401! But I was lucky to get 900 last few days. I've even seen two CPU's offline at the same time. WTF? So I just abandoned that setup.

Things I've done so far:

*Booted to recovery (without bothering to make a Backup) did a factory reset including all wipes. One time I even wiped Internal Storage...which is bad?good?bad? Don't ask me. I'm a doer. Then a sufferer.

* I've tried installing just my basic go-to setup stored on the /sdcard, but it fails each time. It will either fail directly in TWRP during Install with a red lettered explanation, or it will seemingly install successfully only to boot back to TWRP or just boot loop for ever.

*Tried installing anything at all but nothing sticks.

*I've tried four times with 4 roms, 4 kernels and 4 different Gapp bags. Nuttin but red letters. It even tried telling me i cant push a single ROM because I don't have enough space. Says i need like 250 MB's. Thats just plain crazy talk, I have mass space with my 32G adopted storage.

*I was able to successfully sideload a folder containing a Rom, Kernel and Gapp package. Went through 100% but it boot-looped only instead.

*Flashed a fresh new squidtwrp recovery.

*tried zipping up a backup i have on my PC, successfully pushed it in to /sdcard, then went install, zip package...but nope.

*Prayed to Jebus everything will be ok!

I just read those screenshots. Maybe if i copy a META folder to my zip backup?

So...if anyone has had a similarly exact situation I'd love to hear your story. As for me.....It's Google Time!!

[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
Flash the TWRP image given below. It's Squid's TWRP with a custom splash screen. Then flash the theme zip which I used to get my theme. U can download the other themes by visiting this thread.

If u want to change the splash screen then flash the AIK and then change the splash screen in the TWRP settings.

[E 2015 Android Development] Aniruddhagupte11:
Tried that all before. Currently using CM13.0 (20160903) Official, but still no luck
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
Good evening everyone,

This has been driving my batty trying to figure out the process at work but...?so far no luck. So if exist anyone with an explanation feel free to... explain.

OK..so

I haven't had to change my lockscreen greeting message in over 6 weeks. My current greeting of "Don't Panic!" was set almost 2 months ago. Since then I have changed my ROM a minimum of six times. 2 upgrades of the same ROM, 3 completely different Rom swaps and once was a change back to the original pre-updated ROM.

With each OS change, a wipe of Dalvik/Art cache, System, Cache and Data. And with the odd 'Factory Reset' added on top of all that ...well that's a lot of times the lock screen message must've been wiped clean and presumably reset back to factory settings.

This isn't the only setting that seems to have an immortals-like staying power. My clock widget, regardless of ROM, (so long as it is CM/AOSP based) automatically and consistently deploys with the weather widget and location settings already preset, my clock colors and background colors pre-chosen, and other preferences "remembered".

So what is going on here? How is it possible for data to survive TWRPs cleaning and disinfection process?

P.s. I've already read the official TWRP webpage on the whats and why's and when's of wipes and there was no mention of leftovers or missed spots or phantom limb effects.

Also, i don't feel it necessary anymore to rush the encyclopedias en masse, as I'm now just mildly curious and only slightly interested ever since I started to explain this phenomenoa .....
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
It's probably just restoring it from a backup on ur Google account. It happened to me once, I formatted my phone but on reboot I was shocked to see my home screen layout inatct only to realize I had restored from a google backup by accident.
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
That's gotta be it ayush rao! I've noticed its only those settings that are Google related like the Clock, and Lock Clock widgets. I restore my Google account data all the time but I thought only data like contacts and calendar events were saved/synced.

For every one thing I figure out with help of course, there are still 3 hundred things I still don't understand.

;)

Lol. Thanks again....it was nagging at me for real.
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
LOL, even I didn't know abt this and was frustrated coz I just wanted to start from scratch.
[E 2015 Android Development] :
I have the latest version and every time I go into recovery it stays on the twrp logo screen for a long time. Like 2 or 3 minutes before it finally goes into recovery. And it never saves my settings. And it keeps asking to allow write to the system partition. I don't know why. Would reflashing twrp help?
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
Yea I've realized the more u boot into TWRP, the more slower the recovery boots. I've given up on 3.0.2, I use 3.0.0 now which doesn't have this issue and works perfectly fine.
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
Thnx for the tip. I've noticed the same thing. And yeah, it's progressive. I spend a fair amount of time in recovery that I think in going to try out 3.0.0

Is this a SquidTWRP specific issue you think?
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
I can't say for sure, but this issue only began after Squid introduced his own theme into TWRP. I might be wrong, probably Squid just has to release a more optimized variant of his TWRP. I don't really mind though cause 3.0.0 by Squid works just as well if not better than his newer builds.

Hi.

Anyone know how to restore adopted storage with twrp 3.0.2? Personal key in data/misc/vold is not working.

I did full backup, remove sd card and wipe everything.

After restore (boot, system, data, microsd) system don't see adopted storage.

I have copy off all(pc) - only for test how it works. No success.
[E 2015 Android Development] cmason37:
The personal key *is* what keeps your adopted storage intact. It should work fine. If it doesn't, you probably have corrupt storage.
[E 2015 Android Development] dzidexx:
Expand######.key was restored to data/misc, not to data/misc/vold. Vold was empty. Now I have both(old and new).

Sdcard works fine. [MENTION=4667121]cmason37[/MENTION]
[E 2015 Android Development] jaime725:
I need QUICK help. It's when I try to flash Gapps (nano/pico, I tried both - ARM). It's giving me ERROR:2. Can someone please tell me where did I go wrong? :(

[E 2015 Android Development] Elanza_48:
Oh, I see it is alright using phone but I don't known why it is not showing on pc !!
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
64gig works fine with XT1527 also.

And about that lag; You mentioned Themes. Are you using an added theme? I.E. have you flashed a theme? I have. It just changes colors (16 or so to choose) and supports aromafm (?) I've got them on my SD if you want names. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it.
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
Yep the themes I used slowed down the boot times even more. I used the Material TWRP theme with a custom splash screen. Though it gave TWRP a modern and material ui it resulted in a very long boot time. It is to be noted that the ui of TWRP never lagged for me. I only faced issues with the boot times. Also without the theme, TWRP starts to bog down over time. The theme I meant in the post was the theme built into TWRP. If u flash 3.0.0 and 3.0.2, you will realize 3.0.0 is how TWRP is supposed to look and 3.0.2 is a theme created by Squid.

Edit - I made a post on the theme I used in the 29th and 30th page if this thread.
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
OK, I'm getting it now. Theme or no its 3.0.2r1 in general thats at issue. I'm going to find that 3.0.0 is it? And freshen up my recovery. My favourite ROM just released the last build and after three hours I had to abandon it and go back to my pre-update.

So I'll flash new/old TWRP then new ROM and see where I'm at.

So you're on three now and it's better right?
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
Yep, 3 works perfectly fine and has a very fast boot time.
[E 2015 Android Development] DroidFreak32:
I NEED HELP!

After flasing AOSP 7.0 the recovery was changed to stock android recovery. Windows is not detecting my phone in fastboot mode. ADB works fine.

How do i flash this recovery using adb??
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
In bootloader mode your phone isn't getting detected by your windows PC, that's strange. Also I don't think adb is supposed to work in bootloader mode. Also does your phone boot into the ROM.

Edit- I just confirmed trying it out myself adb doesn't and shouldn't work in bootloader mode.
[E 2015 Android Development] DroidFreak32:
ADB works when the phone is booted up & also in the stock recovery. It's just the fastboot drivers that are missing after my windows 10 update. Im not having enough data to download moto drivers setup so i was wondering if i could get the commands to flash recovery using adb.

I remember the command being something like: "dd if..... "
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
This worked for me in the past, try this out. (I did this on marshmallow the last time though)

adb push c:\flash_image /sdcard/

adb push c:\recovery.img /sdcard/

adb shell

su

mount -o remount, rw /system

cp /sdcard/flash_image /system/bin

cd /system/bin

chmod 777 flash_image

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Also i got these commands and this flash image thing from some other thread I can't remember.

Good Luck! Hope this works
[E 2015 Android Development] DroidFreak32:
Awesome! Bookmarked this post for future reference. Thanks
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
So your phone is up and running again??
[E 2015 Android Development] DroidFreak32:
There was no problem with the phone. I just wanted to change the recovery
[E 2015 Android Development] PimpMy5Ton:
I don't know why your fastboot drivers wouldn't be there after a Windows 10 update, I got the Windows 10 Anniversary update for my 10 Pro and my Minimal ADB & Fastboot still works :)
[E 2015 Android Development] DroidFreak32:
Device manager was showing the exclamation mark next to my device in fastboot mode.

Now I fixed it by using universal adb drivers :)
[E 2015 Android Development] PimpMy5Ton:
Ok, cool
[E 2015 Android Development] beastuct:
The best custom recovery!!! Nice job scuid2!
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
Sweet! Thnx ayush, I've been looking for exactly this!

Actually, what I'm now wondering (and will test momentarily), is if these commands will work from the local Terminal?
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
I'm not really sure cause we push the files to the specified location using ADB. There must be a way to get it working with terminal though.
[E 2015 Android Development] DroidFreak32:
Not sure if I'm doing it right

Line " mount -o remount, rw /system " gives me an error.
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
Yea I guess it works only with ADB.
[E 2015 Android Development] PriPhaze:
Any ideas on how to boot twrp fast again using the last version of Squid TWRP? Or do i have to downgrade to lets say version 3.0.0? Im tired of waiting like 8 minutes just to boot into the recovery.

lol just tried 3.0.0 r2 and it still takes some time but not as much as last version :)

anyone have tried this?

https://dl.twrp.me/surnia/twrp-3.0.2-0-surnia.img.html
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
Yep I've tried that TWRP. It's best to stay away from it. It can't unmount system and has a bunch of other errors.
[E 2015 Android Development] BillyMumphry:
I got mine back to normal after typing 'Yes' to Format Data. I had unrelated issues that called for reformating and that seems to have taken care of the lag as well. Remember to back everything important up as it all gets erased if anyone tries this.
[E 2015 Android Development] hh11bbaacchh11:
HELP! I cannot make any TWRP stick. I tried everything.
[E 2015 Android Development] DroidFreak32:
I'm assuming you're facing this after flashing aosp 7.0

Everytime you flash aosp 7.0 your recovery will change to stock aosp recovery. I faced it too
[E 2015 Android Development] hh11bbaacchh11:
No. I'm falshing it on stock 6.0 l.
[E 2015 Android Development] ayush rao:
What command r u writing to flash TWRP.
[E 2015 Android Development] mattia.b89:
I've just used this custom recovery to flash CM13.

I can confirm we (at least surnia XT1524 owners...)

MUST (maybe this is a too much constraint word, but that is what I've done...)

use this version of TWRP, since the official one doesn't work (I've got a bootloop)

Anyway, I have to report a little problem with the clock, that is wrong
[E 2015 Android Development] bloodsaw:
The clock is an issue that has been reported several times I fixed it by flashing 3.0.0 then flashing the latest version but that's on an xt1527 you might have a different outcome. even now my clock sometimes boots up wrong and by messing with the different time zones and offsets then restarting the recovery it fixes itself as long as you return the time zone and offset to the correct settings before restarting the recovery.

Also CM14 is out for our lovely little phone i'm currently using it, there's a few things not working but for the most part it's amazing

2. flashed cm-14.1-20161210-NIGHTLY-surnia.zip and open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20161210.zip (= today's builds)

3. booted and re-configured the phone.... looks usable.
[E 2015 Android Development] ENRIQUEMM:
Great job, Try to update via OTA, cm 14.1, reboot to recovery, but the script was not executed. Flash manual and clear cache and dalvik and the update completed. On a first boot it requested to reinstall the sd card (shared internal storage). I did not and when I rebooted again everything was correct. Only missing a few shortcuts in the launcher.

I'm currently setting CM14.1 on my phone. Normally I update by manually downloading the nightly using a browser, then flashing it from my microSD card. I only use the OTA to check for updates and view changelogs. Since there are errors updating OTA, have you tried updating manually? If so, are there errors?
