TWRP 2.7 Issues - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi,
I am unable to mount the SD card in TWRP 2.7.0 on my Evita.
Anyone else is having this issue?

doesn't work for me too
only way is to use usb-otg or adb push to push a rom, or be back to an older version .
You can use Recovery switcher

Could someone tell me or post a link to twrp 2.7.0 and how do i install. Thanks

Size: 8.9 MB
MD5: 0eb7f3d14d75a019b19757836a1ec805
but better to use recovery switcher (flash in recovery like a rom and choose the recovery you want to install)...

Why are you claiming it's better to use recovery switcher? What's wrong with flashing it the normal way with fastboot?
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-evita.img
Simple. This is the standard method for flashing a recovery to an Android device, it always has been and always will be.

With the switcher you don't need a Pc to switch the recovery and no drivers problems.
Of course for me (and you ) fastboot commands are not a problem...
but for the one who did all the wipes before transferring the zip of the rom and is on TWRP 2.7 and without an usb otg cable ...

Well you'd have to be stupid to perform a wipe before having the ROM zip on your phone, lol. I wasn't trying to diss the recovery switcher, it's great work by Flashalot. I just firmly believe that anyone who is modifying their Android device should be comfortable with using adb & fastboot.

Should be, but in reality

I always had problems with 2.7, I've stuck with 2.6.3 for a while.

Are you guys trying to mount in windows or linux or mac? Also you are hitting "mount > mount Usb storage" correct?

hitting "mount > mount Usb storage" with a Pc Win7 32 or 64 bits does'nt work for 2.7 version
Works with your version 4.4 compatible ...

Same problem on XP x64 and x86. It seems to also affect the new version of CWM and Philz touch. All of them work fine on linux for me though. Good thing I hate windows.

Yep. Confirmed. Pretty glitchy too. I have windows 8 installed on my computer. I noticed when I entered recovery (2.7.0.0) the tray icons in the lower right of my computer screen started "jumping" left and right when I chose to mount the internal storage. The tray icons continued this until I put the phone into bootloader. I flashed 2.6.3.0 and everything was back to normal and working fine. Looks like there are a few kinks to work out.

When trying to wipe USB-OTG, it wouldn't work. So I'm pretty sure it's a general implementation problem

You actually had a OTG drive or device attached ? If so that may be by design but i can test and talk it over with the twrp folks if needed

Yup. I just bought it to see how it is. Total waste of money in retrospect because I can't really see myself using it.

OK folks, i can confirm i had issues in both win 7 and win 8.1, but removing the device via device manager, and letting it re-install it self on the next plug in i was able to mount with out any more issues.
On the topic of OTG, I was able to Mount OTG and then both flash a ROM from it and wipe it once it was mounted. The big thing with OTG is that you have to manually mount it if you want to utilize it.
Edit: fwiw I was using a 2GB thumb drive formated to NTFS

@jrior001 : is the recovery kernel compiled by you? Could you tell me if it is possible to use the sources of the 3.4.10 kernel that HTC has released, enable SElinux and produce a custom image of the recovery?

For the official 2.7 all device work was done mainly by mdmower ( CM guy for the VZW HTC devices). The kernel is just the base cm11 kernel and the trees are hosted on his github. I only helped with a few things and testing for this.
What you are talking about is twrp based off the last HTC source release...which is exactly what I did on the 4.4 comparable version I posted previously. Stock HTC kernel source modified for selinux built with TWRP 2.6 sources at that time. My thread has the links for kernel source and trees if you want to play with it

[RECOVERY]CWM-Based Recovery 5.0.2.8 For P999(Internal & External SD)

The image was provided by Mr Rusty over on the P990 thread and i asked him if we can have an update..well he gladly helped out so don't forget to thank Mr Rusty over on his Thread..
I repacked and added a script that you will just run in order to flash this CWM version..(Thanks to Russ for the script)
From his Thread:
By request a quick explanation of the difference between the two recoveries:
Usually, your recovery image will look on the external SD card for ROMs to flash, and backups to restore, and the external version here is no different. For the most part that is fine and dandy (unless you don't have an SD card I guess), however the stock O2X mounts it's internal SD card as /sdcard, which confuses ROM Manager a fair bit.
The internal version of the recovery mounts the internal storage as /sdcard as well, so ROM Manager can find backups it's made etc.
NOTE: Backups made with v5 are not compatible with earlier versions.

BIG Credits goes to Koush as well for his great work for innovating the CWM..
Get it Here: CWM 5.0.2.8 For P999 or from Here
Instructions on HOW to use/WHAT to do:(For Windows)
- Once you have downloaded the Package from the link Above..extract it to a Folder..
- Inside the folder all you have to do is look for the flash-recovery_xp.bat file..
- now turn your G2x OFF..
- remove the BATTERY and make sure your G2x is not connected to the PC via USB
- Press the VOLUME DOWN button together with the VOLUME UP..
- now CONNECT the USB Cable..
- If by all means Windows prompts for a new DEVICE you have to install the APX drivers from here(extract the package and manually install from this source)..
- Else if windows does not prompt OR you are already done installing the APX drivers you can now proceed on Running the flash-recovery_xp.bat by double clicking it..
- Choose 1 and Then press Enter..Wait for a few seconds till it prompts you that the FLASH was successful..IMHO you ought to wait another 5 more seconds after the prompt for not to have issues..
- After that Reboot into CWM by Pressing Power Button together with VOLUME DOWN til you see the LG Logo with waves..upon seeing that now release the buttons and wait for the CWM menu..
For Linux/Ubuntu Users:
- Download the Package
- Extract the folder somewhere
- Now turn your Phone OFF and DO NOT plug the USB cable yet..
- Now while Phone is OFF press VOLUME UP and DOWN together and now PLUG the USB cable in..keep them held together throughout the process..
- Run the Terminal and locate the Directory on where the Files are located..
- Type the ff:
Code:
chmod +x flash-recovery.sh
./flash-recovery.sh
- Once DONE you can now reboot..
FAQ:
Q: I am getting NVflash errors?
A: You might be on a BAD Cable or either way upon installing the drivers do a reboot..also DO THIS ON WINDOWS XP..on Windows 7 there are circumstances that the device is not recognized properly..also make SURE your unit is a P999 or P999DW(my unit is P999DW and touch WORKS!!) and not P990 or SU660..
Q: My device is not Recognized?
A: You have to download the APX drivers from one of the instructions above

I was thinking the exact same thing. Seems strange to me that Koush made it for the O2x and not for us.
Im getting a nvflash error when trying to install the new clockwork.
It says check apx driver and usb cable. The drivers are already installed so Im thinking its the usb cable, but not sure.

the recovery's on a different partition, might make it a pain in the ass to access the touch drivers...
or he might just like the o2x more (everyone likes those Europeans more than us anymore)
Touch Recovery
I'm just gonna throw this out there, just because I wanted to try, I flashed the O2x Touch Recovery to my G2x. Everything as far as the application goes worked, touch to select, ect. The only problem is when you ask it to do something, the mounts are wrong, naturally. What I'm getting at is that both devices use cwm 5020, obviously, mounts changed. How hard would it be to decompile both versions of 5020 and apply the differences to the new touch recovery app?
p.s. for those who wonder how I flashed touch to my G2x, I just swapped out the recovery images in the one-click nvflasher, pretty simple. when you're done, put back correct file, nvflash again.

It's all in the ram disk. Just swap out the vold.fstab in the ram disk. Recovery images are simply boot.imgs.
Interesting, because the differences are only 1 partition. And using the O2x CWM to wipe /system (iirc) would just wipe our internal SD. Ours is partition 7 theirs is partition 8, our partition 8 is the internal SD. Since the phones are 99% the same, it should be that simple. and I need to get up early... I do have one untested tool for decompiling a boot.img....
@Kairi: Can you mirror this on Dropbox? Or somewhere not blocked by my work? Wifi at home is down and I am just chewing away at my data with having to tether.

E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path

Multirom nexus 7; booting linux from usb?

Hi, just been playing with multirom on my nexus 7, I would like to post this question in the appropriate threads but as a noob I can't so here goes:
It all is working fine, I can add extra ROMs using the extra Advanced>Multirom section in modified TWRP, this will let you install them to Sdcard or a USB drive. I also have been able to install Bohdi Linux to the Sdcard by flashing a multirom packed zip in recovery the normal way. What I can't figure out how to do is how to install Bodhi to USB so I can boot it from there. On this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093797
There are only instructions on how to flash the zip in recovery,
It seems I need a different version of Bohdi to flash it to the USB otg.
Can anyone advise, thanks?
Multirom is a truly magnificent piece of work incidently!

Hi! Just wondering if you got any answer about this? I managed to install Ubuntu Desktop 13.04 on my Nexus 7 and everything was running fine until due to a power failure it won't boot anymore. I would like to boot from a Live USB to see if i can recover the installation. I tried using the USB option with an OTG from Multirom but i guess it's not intended for that. Thanks!

[Q] Check this out: Att One X - NO OS, SD card wiped and won't mount BUT..

Hello -
I have done weeks worth of research in my spare time before finally caving in and asking for help. I believe my situation irritatingly enough is different than typical no os corrupt sd card issues and I have not been able to find a solution here or on the www unless I am forgetting something simple. Here's why:
I am S-Off
I have super cid
I have access to bootloader
I have access to recovery which is TWRP 2.3.1 and I can access terminal command
My card WONT MOUNT (meaning no fixing permissions, no wiping external sdcard or side loading)
If I reboot system, it freezes at the initial boot screen image with the Viper logo and the red developer caution statement below it
Fastboot and ADB do not recognize my phone and I have used every one click, script, and trick on this website and others using different drivers, Android SDK and all the different drivers I can find. No Dice.
I DO HAVE AN HTC EVO 4G LTE that I htc dev unlocked, s-off, supercid etc on this very laptop (Windows 7) this week so I have a pretty good idea what what doesn't work in terms of drivers/scripts with my current laptop configuration.
I have used Ubuntu as an installed desktop and as a live cd. This is as close as I have been to having my phone recognized in adb or fastboot. I was using the SD FIX see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942519 (What I don't get is why that thread was closed. Makes no sense to me that since a particular version of TWRP becomes available, that it would render that fix obsolete when its obvious how many scenarios can come up in particular with these HTC One Xs and not everyone is going to have a specific version of recovery. Anyway... this brings me to Ubuntu. And this is as close as I have been to success with getting back into my sdcard so I can command prompt/flash my way outta this mess. It was the only version of the SD fix I could find which of course was for Mac, Linux or Ubuntu. In terminal when the script would initialize it comes back as "Fastboot: Permissions Denied" or something to that effect. That was last night.. or errr.. this morning and I'm determined to do this.
Has anyone heard anything about a way to create a virtual sd card using AVD in an old version of the SDK? From what I can see it looks fairly simple. What I have dug up sounds easy enough but not sure why I haven't come across it here or anywhere else or nobody else has mentioned it? However, I am not a dev and perhaps it being a couple years old, counter measures have been put in place by these phone companies... lol we'll see... Thank you so much for your time.
I have attached a snap shot of my bootloader screen. Yes, I know the screen is cracked lol
The thread you linked to isn't closed, and if you visit the website the page is still up and running. The only problem I can see with that method is that you need to have fastboot working. Unfortunately the only other option I can think of needs fastboot working too, that is to flash TWRP 2.6 and use the advanced wipe feature to wipe/fix your corrupted sd card.
Have you uninstalled HTC drivers and then installed the latest drivers (4.10.xxxx I think)? Have you made sure your version of adb/fastboot is the latest?

Thought the thread was closed after the last comment on there. But yes you are correct regarding the website. That is how I was able to obtain the SD Fix I have now... although it is for Linux and isn't the one that was initially created for PC. The link to the Fix for PC is dead. However, I did just find a list of HTC drivers on XDA that could probably help a lot of peeps lol. Hopefully me!

I'm going to uninstall current drivers again and start tinkering with these now. I sure wish I had TWRP 2.6 installed though. I will also double check the ADB and Fastboot drivers are the latest as well and get back to you on any changes. Thanks again.

Have you tried mounting the sd card in windows through twrp? If it's corrupted windows will pop up a box to format card. Do that. Then the sd card should work fine. Won't fix adb fastboot issues but it's one less problem to contend with

How did you wipe your sd card to begin with? If you wiped it in the bootloader with the factory restore option then this will currupt your sd and the only option is to connect to your pc or computer and under my computer right click the drive of your phone and format the sd card that way and this will restore your sd card to working order but you must have all the right drivers installed for your phone. Which installing HTC sync will install all the right drivers

I had the same problem with my HTC ONE XL Evita with Hboot 1.14 S-ON Unlocked. Here are the steps I took to fix it - hope it helps (I run from a mac, so that's why the fastboot code looks the way it does)
I updated to TWRP 2.6.3.0 via Fastboot USB
./fastboot.osx flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-evita.img
I also extracted the Boot.img from CleanROM 6.5 and installed via Fastboot USB
./fastboot.osx flash boot boot.img
I then rebooted into TWRP recovery
Went to advanced wipe
wiped elements (cache / data / etc) independently
then performed factory reset
I was then able to mount to the iMac
Transferred CleanROM 6.5 in the TWRP folder
Was able to flash the ROM via TWRP

If you mean literally plugging my phone into my pc...going into device manager, seeing if the sdcard is being picked up.. of course I have. I can freely go between recovery TWRP 2.3.1.0.0. and bootloader and I can even boot the system even tho there isn't an OS and get as far as the VIPER logo with the developers text below it in red. I have both windows and Ubuntu and I have tried everything. I have gone into what files and folders I do have on the phone and using terminal in recovery I have found all the proc contents in tact.. all the dev contents in tact and sub folders... all the usb folders and contents I believe are still there too. Including fastboot. HOWEVER, after days of trying every adb usb driver combination imaginable... including editing .inf files, and taking signature verification off win 7.. I still can't get my phone to be picked up when i plug it in. Every once in a while I will get the bell sound when I plug it in to a usb port but when I look in device manager nothing...but when I plug my evo 4g lte in its whamo... ding ding and no issues. As far as this phone goes...I see all the files and folders there but even even ran htc drivers in compatability mode with XP... nothing.
I am learning how to create virtual sdcard images and how I can potentially be able to attach it to a devices sdcard giving one the ability to transfer or delete files which could help some folks get back into their devices...Also, here is a really cool idea although still in its infancy and how you can mount an sdcard as an mtp device using a fuse filesystem based on libusb. https://github.com/hanwen/go-mtpfs So at this point there are options out there but only pretty heavy manipulation of data and extentions and stuff over my head lol..

I had the same problem with my HTC ONE XL Evita with Hboot 1.14 S-ON Unlocked. Here are the steps I took to fix it - hope it helps (I run from a mac, so that's why the fastboot code looks the way it does)
I updated to TWRP 2.6.3.0 via Fastboot USB
./fastboot.osx flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-evita.img
I also extracted the Boot.img from CleanROM 6.5 and installed via Fastboot USB
./fastboot.osx flash boot boot.img
I then rebooted into TWRP recovery
Went to advanced wipe
wiped elements (cache / data / etc) independently
then performed factory reset
I was then able to mount to the iMac
Transferred CleanROM 6.5 in the TWRP folder
Was able to flash the ROM via TWRP

Hey thanks. Yup. This is exactly what I need to do. It's just that last time I tried to run the sdfix script in terminal using ubuntu i ran into a permissions issue. fastboot-permission denied or something to that nature. Do you know what that means? Thanks tho I will give this a shot.

[Q] Droid MAXX TWRP Recovery and using USB OTG

I'm currently using TWRP 2.6.x on my XT1080MDEV and have a question specific to the device.
First, my use case: I like backup images... They are wonderful... BUT, they occupy space. To help alleviate this I've started offloading them to a USB OTG device via manually copying them in a file manager after mounting the device in StickMount. I would like to be able to restore from this device directly in recovery, just in case the world burns down.
My issue: attempting to mount in TWRP never finds anything and thus no restore from the USB OTG device works for me. As I understand it, TWRP recovery does support USB OTG.
How do I accomplish mounting a USB OTG device in TWRP on the Droid MAXX?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.... Its greatly appreciated!!

The TWRP I originally installed was from Hashcode here http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/recovery-unlocked-twrp-2-6-3-1-android-t2534850 and is version 2.6.3.1 which I believe supports USB OTG (But, obviously, its not working for me )
I looked around for dhacker29's version and all I can find is his thread in which someone asked about compatibility with Droid MAXX here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49475029&postcount=110 in which a reply has not yet been submitted. The thread includes a broken link to a TWRP img however I think they are housed here http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/MotoX/ even so I cannot validate compatibility and would not know which one to pick... I'm not bold enough to potentially brick either.
Any other ideas or more information anyone can provide?
Is anyone else trying to do images from an off device storage source? I would think this might be a common thing to do, given internal storage and get botched too.
Thanks to anyone who can help in advance!

I don't know if this will help but this is what I do. After unlocking I set up a bone stock ROM and then to nandroid back up. While its quite large, I keep this backup on my SD in its original location. As I move forward with customization, tweaks, ROMs, ect I'll do a nand of that and move the file from the phone to PC. If anything should happen like bootloop or otherwise borking something I have the stock nand immediately available to restore and bail me out. If I want I can then hook up to PC and load the backup I want and restore through TWRP.

OK... I installed the 2.7 image to no avail.
Do I need to manually mount the drive in a terminal or something ?
I ass/u/me/d it would mount on boot of recovery as external memory or something however perhaps that's not the case and I'm simply missing steps?

I'm not sure about TWRP. I'm using CWM 6.4.0.7 and it mounts automatically

Yes, I've now tested CWM 6.4.0.7 and it does automatically mount the drive. I'll use this as a workaround for now and thank you.
Still looking to get TWRP to mount external storage - anyone?
