TWRP Question - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I just installed the newest version of TWRP and seem to be having some issues with creating backups. My last backup was on the internal memory so I wanted to put something on my SD Card before I tried flashing a new ROM. The first thing that I tried was to just copy it over to the SD Card but it says that I can't copy it. So then I tried to just do another backup in TWRP and have it save right to the SD Card. It completes successfully, but it saves it as some weird folder name (it adds cm_d2vzw-userdebug 4.2.2 and some other stuff to the end of the folder name). I can only see it in ES Explorer on my phone for some reason, if I hook it up to the computer it won't even show the TWRP folder that gets created.
What is wrong? Is it an issue with the latest TWRP?
EDIT: I just tried backing up to internal storage too and it is still doing that funny thing with the folder name. I am thinking it is a recovery issue. Does anyone have the latest version working right?

Im on the latest version 2.6.0.31 some weird number like that. U might have a bad install of twrp try reinstalling it. The only prom i had was wen i moved a backup file using astro manager to my extsdcard i couldn't flash it. So what i did wen u go into twrp backup click on top change it to extcard storage... Hope u get it fix

Try ezunlock i think thats wat is called from Google play. If not go to cyanmode recovery

I tried installing again through goomanager and it still doesn't work. I wonder if I should just go back to 2.6.0.1 or whatever I was on.

Verify that root is still working (download root checker), then uninstall goomanager, reboot, reinstall goomgr then give it another try.

Why wouldn't root still be working? Doesn't goomanager have to check root first before installing a recovery? Plus, ES Explorer still had root access and titanium backup still works.

Try this :

If none of that works, then try to use a flashable zip from here and flash it in recovery:

I tried flashing the .img file and tried the zip and I am still having the same issue. Is it possible permissions got screwed up somewhere? I just installed the 2.6.3.0 (instead of the 2.6.3.1) and am trying a backup to see if that works.
I might just go back to by backup from a day or two ago when everything was working before I tried going to the latest version of TWRP.
EDIT: Well 2.6.3.0 didn't work either. It is weird that I can't see the folder that it creates on my laptop. I can only see it on my phone with ES Explorer and it is still naming the folder really weird things.
EDIT2: I reinstalled 2.6.0.1 and now it names the folder right (just using the date/time), but I still can't see it when I plug in to my computer. I am afraid to try and restore to it to see if it works. I don't understand why I can't see it when I plug in to my laptop.

I haven't really followed this thread's progression so forgive me, but you can just tap the bar where it reads "Backup Name: (Auto Generate)" to manually change your TWRP backup names. It's not immediately obvious but its there.

Yea, I understand that, but I don't understand why it is adding stuff like userdebug and a bunch of other stuff automatically when the older version didn't. Then on top of that, while it appears like it worked and I could see the files using ES Explorer, when I hooked it up to my laptop, it wasn't even seeing the TWRP top level folder on the SD Card.

I guess this is a difference of opinion then cuz I don't see it as an issue.

Can you view the rest of your internal storage on your laptop? I mean the exact same directory as to where your TWRP storage is located? You are running a KitKat rom which changes the internal storage directories from /sdcard to /0/sdcard (JB 4.3 does as well) so I'd guess that might have something to do with it. I always use Airdroid to transfer files to/from my laptop and I see my newly constructed internal storage fine. I have a MBP so I don't really have a native way to connect my S3 to my laptop to test it out which is why I use AirDroid.

[Q] Convert TiBU non zip to flashable zip

mods please remove

So I just flashed a rom and I had done a TiBU user and system data backup. BUT, i didnt do it properly so now i cant flash it in recovery. I had a lot of stuff and a lot of paid and customizable apps in there. Im still very new to all of this. I know there has to be a way to retrieve, zip, flash, im happy. I have copies of the BU on my extSD and computer if that matters. Thanks in advanced for any help.
My only answer would be to re-install everything from play store then do it the proper way.?.?.?.?

If you put the backup file on external sd you have to point Tibu at it in preferences or move to internal sd.
You can make a flashable zip of your TiBu backups???

[Q] TWRP vs CWM

Im curious as to which recovery is working the best with the Galaxy Note 10.1. Im not asking which is the best, but I see darkman has come out with a touch version of cwm and I have the latest TWRP...Only issue i have is that it doesnt see my cwm backups....I havent had any issues with it yet though...Im just curious thats all
I always preferred cwm.. it is more stable.. use to love with twrp when I had asus tf101 but sometimes I couldnt see my internal sd card and sometimes I couldnt mount system.. but just use what works for you..

Thanks for the input.... I do have to constantly tap the external sd option because it takes me back to the main screen. Im assuming its a sensitivity issue

Agreed. I've found CWM to be very stable. I loved to move to the touch version, though you have to be careful sometimes about accidentally touching an unwanted option. But since a confirmation menu comes up for each option that makes changes, you can easily correct it.
I have used CWM on all my devices and have worked without an itch so prefer CWM
Tried install TWRP on my device once it refused to install contacted the developers did not get the response so ditched it.
Twerp don't seem to get on with note .
But i would say their is very little difference between using TWRP or CWM for most users .
I use TWRP on SGS3 and CWM on Note .
jje
I moved to TWRP awhile ago for my phones and currently use it on my Note. As far as stability goes CWM is much more stable, though I have it tried the touch version(thinking of checking it out though.) TWRP is a little wonky sometimes,but I think that's a sensitivity issue.
As another poster already said, there's no real big difference between the two and they both get the job done.
My big problem with CWM is the backups. Maybe I didn't spend enough time with it or missed an option somewhere. But since they moved to the BLOB model for backups I found it impossible to delete an old backup. I like to do backups often, but I usually only want to keep 2 iterations due to the space they take up. With TWRP it's easy, each backup has it's own folder. Want to delete one, just delete the whole folder.
If someone can tell me how to manage backups properly in CWM I'd be glad to switch back.

That's one of the reasons I stay with TWRP on my Note despite the super sensitive touch. In all it's wonkiness I've just become more of a fan due to the ease of the touch UI and the ability to just delete the backup folder.

Easiest way I've found to manage backups with CWM is to use ROM Manager. It's integrated with CWM such that in the app you ask it to do a backup, you name the backup anything you want, then it automatically reboots into recovery and does it. ROM Manager also allows you to download your backups to you computer via WiFi, and has an easy option to delete backups. Further, CWM has the option to restore data only from a backup for easily getting settings back when doing a ROM upgrade. Geez I'm more sold on CWM than I thought. I almost sound likes a salesperson haha.

Don't apologize, you provided good information. On my HP Touchpad I used TWRP exclusively because it integrated with Goo Manager. But I really don't plan to use anything other than Mobile Odin to flash anything so not much reason to keep it. I may switch back to CWM and try the ROM Manager interface for the backups.
EDIT:
Well that didn't work well at all. Installed and tried to do a backup. Told me (obviously) that I needed CWM installed. Said there wasn't an official version for it so it then asked me if I already had one installed. I answered yes. It then asked if I had version 2 or version 3. But what I have installed has a version number of 6 something. Oh well, back to TWRP I guess.
I thought we could manager the CWM backup from a file manager I have been doing that on my optimus 2x never did it on note though

With older versions I was able to do that. But this newer version I have installed doesn't really work that way. It creates 2 folders for a backup. One has the backup name with just a small file inside. The other folder is called BLOBS. In that fold are multiple other folders that are alphabetical, I assume by file name. The problem is, when you create a 2nd backup, it used the same BLOBS folder. So there is no way to just delete one folder to delete a complete backup.
yes I remember that when I was trying to delete CWM backup files and did not find them. Thanks for the update
---------- Post added at 09:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 PM ----------
A noob method try to sort by date/time should tell you which files were updated during your last backup and will give you an idea how the update works. Let me do some R&D on it
I just don't want to have to manually delete files from 20+ directories when, with TWRP, I can just delete one folder.

Change the backup format to "tar" and you'll get the old directory structure back.

[Q] Which files should i keep in the "sd"??

My phones memory is almost full and i would like to delete everything from the virtual sd. But as far as i saw there are some strange files like "ADebugPath" or "Recovery-Tools", so i am a bit afraid of deleting everything.
I have s-off and rooted the phone because i wanted to flash cm11. So by deleting all the files from virtual sd i am afraid of deleting files that might affect adb or s-off. Is it going to be helpfull to send a print-screen of my files?
An other thought is that usually this type of files shouldn't be visible on sd but only on the root of the phone but i want to be 100% sure before doing anything.
Thanks a lot.
Nothing on the SD affects s-off, and pretty sure the same goes with adb. I don't know what that file is "ADebugPath", but I don't believe I have it and adb works fine.
In fact, there are folks on here that regularly format their SD (for instance, when they flash new ROMs) which if of course not mandatory, but just to "clean up shop".
The only things I would suggest you should keep on the SD are Titanium Backup files, and a known good nandroid. And possibly files for any apps (such as games). Other than that, everything can pretty much go.
You can always copy files to your computer before deleting them from the SD, in case you think you might want them later.
Shouldn't he mount via recovery and format? I was told that's the best way to format these integrated SD cards.

You mean format using a computer, versus wipe in TWRP? I don't know if it would make much difference.
Or do you mean format, versus manually deleting selected files? I would guess from a technical standpoint a format is going to be better, to reduce fragments, etc. But the data is not written and read from the SD all that often (its not like its the OS memory), so in real world terms, I don't think it would make much difference.
I mean "mount USB storage" via recovery right click on it on PC and chose format

I have already done a backup and copy everything to my pc (just in case) so i will format the sd card and after that i will put back for sure the backup and the titanium backup file. Thanks for you help i will let you know when i do the "cleaning" on my phone.
One more thing i changed the battery to a new one (of htc one x+) so do you know any programme that can test the mah just to check it is correctly recognized?
I wouldn't reinstall apps using TB. But that's your choice. I've run into nothing but probs using TB,but that could be just me

It's just you. Thousands of people, including me, have been using Titanium to backup and restore apps for years, that's why it's the single most popular and most used backup app for Android. If you're having problems with it, you're doing something wrong.

I've restored apps and app data with Titanium countless times (every time I flash a ROM) on this device with no issue. Its migrating system data with Titanium that usually causes problems.
That is what I did. But I learned not to anymore. But I still don't use TB.

Its a well known issue that using Titanium to migrate system data does not work well. This is no surprise. You are trying to migrate OS specific data between different OS's, so obviously its not going to go well.
Titanium works perfectly to migrate apps and app data. If you want to make you life harder for no good reason, feel free. But others are going to be fine using the app properly.
Yea. Thanks. This was when I first started flashing Roms and modifying my device. But I learned

I did the format at the sd card throught the computer and i tried to flash the newest version of cm11 but i got an error.
So the format was ok and i deleted a lot of files without a problem. Does anyone know why i get this error. I had it one more before. After that i haven't manage to update the nightly! I tried to google it and i saw something strange like you have to go for an older version of your recovery!
So i decide to go for the PhilZ Touch as far i have read it is the best for cm11. But i still have the some error:
"E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/cmupdater/cm-11-20140507-NIGHTLY-evita.zip'
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/cmupdater/cm-11-20140507-NIGHTLY-evita.zip'"
Any ideas why i get this error??
Thanks a lot.
If you read in the CM thread it says you need the latest TWRP recovery to flash the latest nightly.

As far as I read cm11 does not need any special recovery:
"Installation Instructions (These are all required)
S-Off your device (Do this before RUU'ing and it will not wipe your /sdcard).
Update to 3.18 RUU or later.
Flash a custom recovery (TWRP/CWM with SELinux capabilities).
Download latest nightly from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=evita.
Locate 4.4 Gapps via a quick Google search.
Wipe factory/data reset in recovery before installing CM11.0 (unless you are already on a CM11.0 build).
Reboot into recovery and install nightly and gapps.
can not flash if you have an old recovery but i saw that."
Ok but through reading, old version of CWM is fine. As far i have seen PhilZ Touch is the best CWM, most advanced and best choice for recovery (for cm11). That is what i use now....
Furthermore, before that i was using the unofficial recovery twrp-2.6.3.0 4.4. The latest one (until yesterday).
Can you please tell me where exactly did you see the thing about latest recovery??
So, i have to go for the "TWRP 2.7.0.8 Unofficial"????
Because to be honest i thought it is something else.... :/
What do you mean you thought it is something else? You need TWRP 2.7.0.8 to flash the latest nightly, that was reported pretty clearly.

I need to restore and I don't know how to copy from my hdd to the phone.
The phone is not booting but I can get to twrp recovery.
Latest TWRP has MTP mode.
but it doesn't allow me to copy one of the backup files which is: data.ext4.win000 and it's 1.5GB
You'll need to give us more information.
Why did it fail? Why did your phone stop booting?
1. flashed bigxie_hammerhead_LRX21O-signed.zip
2. flashed CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5
3. booted fine but still had apps like Ti backup & TWRP not working due to root permissions
4. Went to recovery and performed Fix permission.

I have had the same problem with my motox 14 the way I found around it was to copy the file to a different fold and use twrp file explore to move it to the back up folder. That has worked for me and a few others try it out it will work.
how can you copy using twrp while in recovery? are you able to access your PC from recovery?

You'll need to factory reset then reflash the ROM
Fix permissions was not required here. You need titanium beta from his twitter feed.
ok i got the phone working and lost my data but I have it backed on PC.
I just see that 10GB is used but when I browse the phone using file explorer, the device is empty.... what??
Is it a known issue?
when the phone is connected to PC I see that 10GB is used but when I i browse the device it shows as empty

Well the answer in the 100 other threads about space say that you must wipe data and cache.
Root should be fine, but as already mentioned, not with official titanium release.
I already did a wipe data and cache. So I don't understand why I still get this but I'll try again.
The Ti Backup link in the twitter feed is no longer valid, but for example, ES file explorer and clean master and also TWRP app are not performing as if they are rooted.
I'll try to re-install CF-Auto-Root-hammerhead-hammerhead-nexus5

ES doesn't work properly, correct. Not all apps have been updated to work with L yet either.
L is much more secure than KK. There are ways to root.
1) chain fire - makes small change in RAMdisk that allows sudaemon to work at boot
2)flash a permissive kernel - this lowers protection within selinux.
More apps work with the 2nd method, but still not all.
New titanium coming to play soon.

TWRP folder missing

Ive held off, but before I update to 5.1, I figured I'd ask before running into problems
Im able to navigate to the TWRP folder when in recovery and restore backups, though the folder is nowhere to be found when looking with a file manager.
I've used Astro, Amaze and Cabinet file managers and the TWRP folder is missing. I did notice a file named TWRP, but it does not open and is not a folder.
How can I get the folder back to manage my backups?

No it is not. I just recently had this problem, say a month. Ive dealt with what youre talking about when switching from kitkat to lp, but that was loong ago and has been fixed. This is a random thing. All my folders and data are available except TWRP, so try again

Install Terminal, type in:
su
restorecon -FR /data/media/0
Then reboot your device. You should have your TWRP folder back normally. This happens when you perform a backup via TWRP which disalign the partitions. Try updating your TWRP recovery to 2.8.5+, they seem to resolve the issue on later versions.
(you must be rooted, and grant access to terminal).

Then reboot your device. You should have your TWRP folder back normally. This happens when you perform a backup via TWRP which disalign the partitions. Try updating your TWRP recovery to 2.8.5+, they seem to resolve the issue on later versions.
(you must be rooted, and grant access to terminal).

Will this also work on 5.1 with 2.8.5.2 version? I can see TWRP folder in /data/media/0, but not on my PC.

My TWRP folder is visible on my computer, even its contents inside. You could try, I'm still on TWRP 2.8.5.0. it should work with 2.8.5.2 as well.
Edit: Youl probably know when something's wrong with your internal storage partitions if you are having a folder named "0", it shouldn't be there in the 1st place.

Is it possible, that TiB has created it and that is somehow connected with folder storage, visible on PC, but not on phone? And if you delete this folder on PC all content of storage will gone.

Yep, if you delete that "0" folder, it will wipe out the entire internal storage. I always experience this issue on old TWRP recoveries, when transitioning to lollipop or by making a backup. As for my observation with Titanium Backup, it creates a folder named "storage", I delete that folder before and it wiped my internal storage as well. That thing, I could not sorted out atm.

As of this moment, I'm kind of enjoying the stock 5.1. Google has made a pretty decent job with this update. I will surely be back to CM12 once they release the 5.1 builds. Plus OmniRom 5.1 is out too, I might also try that before really going back to CM. I really like CM because of their CAF roms.

On what rom are you trying to integrate the apps? Let's go back to your thread regarding this matter. We might get infractions if we flood this one with off topics.

Have you tried it on stock 5.0.1/2 before? I haven't tried integrating updated apps with libs to 5.1 yet. I've tried with Play music and Messenger, just replaced the Music2 in priv-app by overwriting. But I think you should put the lib files (.so) on the /system/libs for it to work. Like on GooglePlayServices.
Edit: I backread some on your thread, as my statement above was already addressed. That's strange, I might try integrating some apps and report back later.

That command will work on any android device. I was on CM12 when I deleted that "storage" folder, and I got wiped. That's kind of unfair to me. LOL
