TWRP Restore?

After pushing my luck a bit too far with system mods, I tried to redeem my TWRP insurance. About 25% into restoring Data, TWRP bails with Error 255. I've since discovered that none of my backups work. I read (somewhere) that the data partition should be un-mounted before restoring; that didn't help. I've also tried restoring from internal/external/USB.

Without data, TWRP Restore offers little more than reinstalling the ROM. Any advice?

Hi [MENTION=6208791]Phuyuk[/MENTION]

I found this out the hardway sadly :(

With error 225 I had worked out that the issue was a corrupted SD card (External Storage) which means the backup might have passed but when it came to restoring it, it would fail with that error all the time.

My advise is take the MicroSD card out, copy over the backup to yoru computer and any other data on there that you want save, but the card back into the tablet and format it again. Once you have done that, copy over the directory structure again and give it another try to restore it.

This may not work, it has only 2 out of the 5 times this issue happened to me during the testing phase, but it may just work for you now.

Good luk :)

Cheers,

David.

Actually, you can use TWRP (if it is one of the newest versions) to connect via usb to your windows (or os x) computer, then copy the files from the tablet. TWRP has gotten ridiculously useful with that addition. 3.0.2 TWRP, I think the number is? I know the custom TWRP linked to on page one here is customized... hope you installed it. Then you're set. I am *not* sure if it allows copying *to* the tablet... but suspect it does.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Vdonsk:
that does not work, come back 01/06
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Phuyuk:
No restore for you!

David, thank you so much for replying. First, I don't want to hijack the thread with a TWRP issue. (v3.0.2-0, btw). I was hoping that I was just overlooking something simple - like forgetting to un-check the 'Force Data Failure' button.

While most of the backups were written to extSD, two were written to internal - and one of the latter created with extSD unmounted and ejected from CM, before rebooting to recovery. It doesn't seem to matter which media contains the backup - intSD, extSD or USB. If the data backups are all truly corrupted, then, in all cases, it's happened prior to MD5 generation. So, the backup's integrity can only be verified with a destructive test - that is, attempting a restore, which may cause 75% data loss!

Like I said, I was hoping it was something simple. I'll pursue it with TWRP when I have more time.

Thanks again,

Steven

TWRP 3.0.2 has a known issue with restore on some devices. It stuffed up one of my Moto X Style phones. My solution was to use TWRP 3.0.1 instead.

Hi everyone i have couple of small questions:

I have Lp 5.0.2, does it mean that i have Lp bootloader?

My boot laoder version: P900XXU0BOI1

And also, does some one tried LectureNotes on the tab? does it work well?

Thank you :)
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] dcarvil:
No, you can have Lp OS with a KitKat bootloader. My bootloader version is P900XXU0BOH4, so it is likely you have a KitKat bootloader.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Yemble:
The bootloader definitely needs updating for this ROM.

Get it from here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0BxqoBZiUYroBVTBhQUFRVmVQZlU

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] shonkin:
Sorry, but a question - there's already a file by that name in /system/lib. Is this above file meant to overwrite that one (or of course I could rename the old one)? Or did the newest version here already include that fix? I simply installed the 2/4/17 version of Lineage and yotuube plays hi-def stuff fine for me.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Bystorm:
https://download.lineageos.org/extras

Here's the link for it.

Also for a common problem with the lock screen auto rotation of CM/Lineage and all CM/lineage-based ROMs. I posted this in the Resurrection thread and here's the fix.

I have 7.1 CyanogenMod and I had this issue until I did this:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/howto-enable-auto-rotation-lock-screen-t2969024

Add this code to the build.prop file through an app like Root Browser, then save it and reboot. If you're into backing up the previous build.prop, do so before just in case.

log.tag.launcher_force_rotate=VERBOSE
lockscreen.rot_override=true

Another thing I did with the build. prop was deal with the issue of me always bumping into the poorly placed capacitive buttons which for being left handed, caused me to bump into them while sketching. I mainly keep the home button in case the virtual keys bug out on me.

Either use this guide:

http://www.gizbeat.com/2021/disable-or-enable-the-on-screen-virtual-software-keys-in-android/

Or just download the soft buttons app from the Play Store and disable the buttons there. I should as well just distribute the build.prop and generic.kl film so everyone can use it, and hopefully those files could eventually be used in future ROM builds.

...

Also updated to this latest update and its much smoother than the 12/23 build.

I installed it, changed the permissions as the post where it is linked to instructed, and got the precise same result. Here's the video I was watching (sorry it is political) as a test bench. About 10 seconds in or so, HIllary's head suddenly all but vanishes off to the right.

Interesting. The video plays great for me.... until about 10 seconds, maybe a little less, go by. Then the image snaps to huge and her head mostly vanishes off to the right of the viewing area.

I wedged in the new file and completely forgot to verify its permissions, but I rebooted and then tested out my favorite streaming video apps including Hulu, Netflix, and Plex, and it looks like everything is working exactly as expected. When the stream kicks over to HD, NO MORE weird scaling issue!

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] HotShotAzn:
I know this will sound silly because we're all techie and its something tier 1 support would say, but perhaps try downloading again and copying over. The file should have permissions set so perhaps it got overwritten?

No MHL

I love these ROMS. They have given new life to my NotePro. One thing. I need MHL. I'm curious as to the issues behind getting HDMI to TV working?
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] glitch2500:
MHL actually seems to work for me. At least video. I had never used it on stock ROM before, but I decided to pick up an adapter, and for video it seems to work great now that the scaling issue is worked out. It does not seem to push over audio though. Audio still plays through the tablet speakers just not through HDMI. I used a friend's different brand MHL cable on a stock p600 and audio pushed over just fine, so I assumed it was that my cable maybe wasn't doing audio. Haven't had a chance to test their cable on my p900. But my adapter does video beautifully.

I will be testing out some new stuff over the comming couple of weeks, and I truly look forward to you guys getting some awesome updates for our NP12's :D

Can I please remind everyone, that if you really like this ROM and you are happy with the work that [MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION] as done (Primary Developer of the ROM) please donate some beer money, though given his current work hours I suspect it will be more "COFFEE" money more than anything, as I know he has been staying up real late even on week days to work on stuff for you guys.

When you say USB does not function anymore, is there something in particular you are having difficulty with?

I ran through a bunch of tests to see how things are working on mine since it isn't something I think to check very often.

I'm running the Feb 4th build and I am able to charge fully. I am also able to attach to my Windows 10 PC and browse both the internal storage and the SD card (I do have to choose the option to "Transfer files" from the USB option on the pull-down USB menu on the tablet since it defaults to charging, but it works just fine when I do.)

I have Dev Options enabled and have confirmed that ADB can see the tablet via USB. I also have a USB 3 OTG adapter, and I can browse my USB thumbdrive when I use it.

This got interesting. Short version, yes, the video now works. Long version... I had rooted my previous install but forgotten to reflash the root when I updated to this one. Messed about today with it, loaded the "Hillary" video I'd used to test, and the machine *rebooted*. Wow, that couldn't be good. But then I remembered about my failure to reflash root. Duh. And just a suggestion to help others.... if you dirty flash newer versions of LineageOS 14.1 over older ones, as I do, and like running rooted, you will also have to reflash the addonsu zip file. Either that or do a factory wipe if you have changed your mind about wanting to run rooted.

Anyway, thanks all. We're good.

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Hi All,

If you are experiencing random freezing where the system wont wake up, or the onscreen button lights are locked on, this is a known issue that I have reported.

I have advised [MENTION=4817899]thompatry[/MENTION] regarding this problem and my initial thoughts that it has something to do with Doze and the GPU, the crash logs appear to happen mainly around where the GPU goes into panic mode, but there is no defined way for me to reproduce this, which makes diagnosing this problem infinitely harder.

If this happens, can you pease capture the "LAST_KMS" log file and post the text file up here (If there is anything personal in it then remove it).

This happened on occassion with CM-13 but was related mostly to Chrome, in CM-14 It is a different issues I beleive.

Cheers,

David.

If you use SuperSU

/data/local.prop (you may need to create) overwrites (or adds) values of /system/build.prop

And persist in dirty flashes.

You can check if (that values) readed, execute getprop in terminal emulator.

I do not know if it works in CM 14 (in CM12(.1) with the default SU, worked) . You can try, in the worst case, nothing will happen. You can always see if it works by using getprop (after the reboot) in terminal emulator.

Remember:

/data/local.prop
