Hi, My Asus ZenFone 2 ze550ml (z008d) running custom rom BlissPop 4.0.3- nightly 20151121 with TWRP v2.8.7.0 for z008

Recently out of sudden, I'm experiencing this error message "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255"

every time I tried to backup and the backup stage come to backing up the "System" then this error occurred.

The error only happen to this "System" partition, when I tried to skip this "System" partition and backup all the others, the backup finished successfully.

Kindly refer to my recovery log attached below...

Hope that somebody could help me out. Thanks!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamum:
I am getting this same issue in my Zenfone 2 (64 GB version). It occurs when doing the backup for "System" as noted in the OP. I am running TWRP 2.8.7.0.

I've done several backups before that worked fine. I started seeing this issue when I tried using compression in a backup. Now I get the error whether I check "compression" or not.

But today I ran Root Checker Basic and saw I don't have root. No idea why. The only thing I've done is restore several backups. Would restoring backups cause root to be lost? If so, any suggestions on how to regain it?
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamum:
Well I figured out why I didn't have root when I checked it with Root Checker. I needed to enable some setting in the hidden Developer options in the Android Settings.

Anyway, I want to downgrade TWRP to see if that fixes this "createtarfork()" failure. Do I just get the TWRP .img file and execute "adb flash recovery twrp.img"? Thanks.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grid4:
No it's fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamum:
Derp. Thanks man, wasn't sure I had the command right. I appreciate it.

Oh, one more thing. Do I need to do a "fastboot erase cache" after doing the previously mentioned "fastboot flash recovery"? I saw this mentioned somewhere else so I figured I'd ask. Thanks!

Final edit: I'm going to upgrade, not downgrade. I see the latest version of TWRP for Lollypop is v2.8.7.3 so I'm gonna try that out.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grid4:
You can wipe cache from recovery easily. Good luck for your thing :)
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamum:
Well I decided to just download TWRP Manager from the Play Store since it seemed like the easiest route to go.

I installed TWRP v2.8.7.3 (I was running v2.8.7.0) successfully and rebooted into recovery and attempted to run backup (first to the SD card). I am getting the same "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255" error as I was in the previous version. Attempting to backup to Internal Storage gives the same error. So does trying backup with compression (I checked this option for the first time a long while back and that's when I remember this error first occurring).

So what the hell? What am I supposed to do now? Ugh. Any help would really be appreciated.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clamum:
I guess no one has any ideas but I figured I'd update this anyway.

I realized I could backup with the TWRP Manager app so I tried that, selecting all partitions/areas I could, and it only backs up the "Data" part and I then get the dreaded "E:createTarFork() process ended with ERROR=255" error after it logs "Backing up System..."

This really blows. No one has any ideas? I don't suppose an email to the TWRP creators would do anything, hey?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silk186:
I've used custom roms before but not that they are not necessarily more suitable.

I had an s2 that I tried a few roms on and settle with Omega which was a major improvement over the stock ROM.

I how have an s4 (i9500) that was acting up. I rooted it when I first got it with ODIN and have recovering already set up. A while ago I upgraded it to 4.4.2 and now want to try 5.1.1

After some trial and error I managed to get a 5.0.1 rom on my phone and I like it a lot better than 4.2.2 from what little I've used it. I'm thinking that it would make more sense to go with something 5.1.1 flavoured though. I'm not really sure which roms I should try though. I care most about stability, battery and responsiveness, especially the camera. What bothered me most about my phone is how long the camera would take to start up. That and my phone started shutting itself off every so often.

I know of cyanogenmod 12.1 and heard of paranoidandroid. What are the top roms I should consider. I've look through the threads here but it is a bit overwhelming in terms of choice, feature and volume of comments to suddenly jump into.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silk186:
I've been flashing away... on my phone

Resurrection Remix LP v5.5.8

Blisspop 5.1.1

cyanogenmod 12.1

crDroid 5.1.1

I've found that 5.1.1 is really ugly and that these roms all look pretty similar- uly top bar and ugly icons

I tried LL V2.0 (5.0.x Lollipop) and I like it way more than 4.4.2

[WORKING sheard romv1.5]

I wish I could find a 5.1.1 rom that looks like 5.0.1

This is of course based on the assumption the 5.1.1 is better than 5.0.x in terms of stability and battery life.

What should I do? stick with LL V2.0 or can I get something that looks the same with a 5.1.1 core?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tr0teK:
Hey guys,

I am a bit confused about all that branding stuff. I live in Germany and I got my phone from "Telekom" with branding.

Is Telekom = T-Mobile Branding ? And yes I get this ·T··· Logo on Bootup.

Also if it's T-Mobile Branding is there anything specific I have to look at ? Because I want to root and unlock my phone and remove the branding.

Also I want the posssibility to switch to a custom ROM. I saw there are two sections for Galaxy S6, one normal and the other one t-mobile.

Can I also just use the ROMs and rooting methods from the the normal section or do I need to stay in the T-Mobile section ? I am really confused with

all this branding **** and the differences between the devices.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S6 (Bought from Telekom with Branding in Germany)

Modelnumber: SM-G920F

Android-Version: 5.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
Even though your device may be T-Mobile, your section is actually the normal S6 section, this is for T-Mobile USA branded devices G920T
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tr0teK:
thank you vor clarifying this out. Anyways so I will be possible to just flash a rom with odin and everything is ok or do I need to root and unlock first before flashing anything via odin, like AOSP roms ?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
You can't flash Roms with Odin, you need a custom recovery. You can flash firmware, kernel, modems or recovery with Odin. There are no aosp roms for the S6, they will all be based off samsung firmware
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tr0teK:
Wait ONLY TouchWiz roms are available for Samsung Galaxy S6 ?! why ?

Another thing. If I want to flash recovery on my branded phone, do I just flash a recovery or do I need to root and unlock first ?!

Also what happens with the branding and the simlock ?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
Yes only TouchWiz. Has to do with some Samsung sources being closed for their chips I believe.

Depending on what firmware, all you have to do is go into developer options, turn on OEM Unlocking, after that you can flash custom recovery.

Branding will stay the same unless you flash another rom.

Sim lock will stay the same. So if it's locked to T-Mobile it'll stay locked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] tr0teK:
I heard it would be possible to unlock Samsung Galaxy S6 and remove the branding. Also I couldn't find any OEM Unlocking in the developers options ?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] serio22:
It will not unlock by just flashing a debranded rom, you need another method. If you couldn't find that option in developer options then you have an older firmware and the option is not needed. I recommend you search your section for more info. There is a lot of things to learn about this device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Jose_arq:
That happened to me... I could not find the option "OEM Unlocking"

It was changed places.

Now it is in "Lock screen and segurity" -> "Unknown sources"

I do not know if it is really equivalent, but must be active if you want to install software from the same phone or sdcard.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] Mark Crouch:
How do you mean?

You can already assign different sounds to those events - just go to Start | Settings | Sounds & Notifications | Notifcations tab and select the event and the sound from the drop down lists......if you want to add other sounds, they need to be in WAV or MIDI format (IIRC) and they need to go into the \Windows folder to be visible in the drop down list of sounds.

Mark.

Thanks I figured it out as you were posting this how to add other sounds. Too bad it won't support mp3's could save some room that way.

[Other Tools & General Discussion] MultiPDev:
Hey guys, first of all, sorry if I post on the wrong section.

I have aquestion for devs. I'm a student developer and I'm learning to develop for Android. Do you guys think I'd necessarily need an Android device or the Android emulator would be enough(maybe for one year or more). I also like w10 mobile and I don't know what to do.

Thanks!!!!!!

Also another question, I'm a really beginner dev, but I'd like to get involved in community development, hacking etc, what do you guys recommend to me? Where should a beginner like me start from?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] VilleI:
I am always running the apps on a real device if I can. This is definetly needed if the app uses for example something like networking because these functions will not be available on an emulator. The main reason however for using a real device is that it runs a lot smoother. The emulator can take a long time to boot up and it can be really laggy when running the app. Also when you are holding the phone on your hand you get to see how the app really looks and feels.

Emulator is ok though if there is nothing else available.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] MultiPDev:
Thanks for your reply. Well... the emulator is not really slow on latest versions of android studio... but it does start pretty slow. I'll finally use a real device.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Soft Phan:
On ADV, how can you test GPS, other sensors?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] vfarafonov:
You can use Android Studio emulator and it will work in most cases. Couple recommendations:

1. Select Android version with Google APIs when creating device

2. Install Intel HAXM (you can find it in SDK manager also) - this will really speed up your emulator including loading time

3. Android Studio 2.0 will be released soon and looks like they will improve emulator performance and functionality there.

Of course you may face something wich is not currently works on emulator but you will face this on a real devices too - some features may work different on devices from different manufacturers. But the chance with facing this kind of troubles is very low when you work on common stuff. Also you can take a look to the 3rd party emulators, like Genymotion.

Anyway I prefer to use real device when developing because I can "feel" it :)

Start with creating some app which will work with some Rest services, display some sort of lists, images, use database to store data. Just think about creating something useful and interesting for you.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

You can test GPS using different apps which mocks your location (you can download apk from play store and install it on emulator) or using the terminal:

1. Connect to emulator with "telnet localhost 5554" command. Maybe you will need to change "5554" with another digits - just look at emulator's window title

2. Set location with "geo fix 12.345 67.89" command

What other sensors you need to test?
[Other Tools & General Discussion] appdeko:
Used android emulators a lot, but mostly to test different unusual screen resolutions/dpi combinations.

They're ok speedwise, but you'll never get real feel of your app on AVD. And please, don't release anything, that just been tested only on AVD.

Also AVDs are quite good for recording videos of your app UI using screengrabbers on desktop (SSR - Simple Screen recorder is the best for me so far)

As for beginner's project - try to implement little game. I've started with simple rotating cube example from "Hello Android" book , and this little project ended with game with 3M downloads on play store :)
[Other Tools & General Discussion] fvalpha:
Android emulator will work when you begin a project.

If you need more tests or make a formal public apk, you can use real devices.
[Other Tools & General Discussion] Asmok78:
Best way is use both :) if you have device - use device. Another android versions, resolutions, sizes etc. test on the emulator.

If standard emulator is too slow, you can use genymotion.
