[Q] TWRP Backup of Stock taking more than one hour - Verizon HTC One (M8)

Title pretty much says it...
I only had data and system and boot checked.
I had to use adb to get the recovery image on the phone. GOO and TWRP both said they didn't not have a recovery for my phone when I tried to use the apps.
(Maybe I should've listened)
Now I'm going on 1.5 hours to do a 3400 MB, 3 partition backup.
HALP?

Make sure that you have compression set to off.

are you backing up to an ext SD and if so what class memory card?

thats really wierd I wonder if you downloaded a bad twrp image???? I use twrp on mine and I've checked every box and also checked compression and my backups take right around three or four minutes.

My first backup took about an hour too. Just leave it.

[Q] SD card 0.00 bytes free, device offline ?

I'm having problems guys
I don't know if I succesfully rooted my phone as when I ran ./root.sh through the linux debian terminal, I received multiple errors saying deivce offline
This also happened when I did Linux/adb reboot "Device offline"
I am now having the problem that my internal sdcard appears to be unusable as my phone keeps saying that is full though it must have over half of the 13gb free
I can access it through mass storage but I can't download/install anything as I apparently have no space
I have not had this problem before, if anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
adb can be weird. it doesn't get covered much on xda but you have to make a file called 70android.rules or something to that effect, I can give better details some other time, right now I can't remember the location or exactly what goes in it besides the samsung vendor id but it basically allows adb to see the phone.
if you have that setup then maybe there is another problem. not sure what issue you have with the sdcard but does it work from the phone and not through a data cable? vise versa? not working at all?
When I go through Settings-SD Card storage my SD card (internal) says that it is full though it's not!
Perhaps I don't understand what the "wipe data/factory reset" does on your phone through red recovery
p.s. If gou actually are running 3e would it say 3e recovery?
I can't install appa as my sd card is entirely full
I had unlocked my phone before through the same comp, I don't know why I am having problems.
Every time I root this phone I do something different everytime (I forget what I did last time)
Others have suggested doing an odin? This phone is a refurb it has many errors aside from freezing then vibrating- force closs
It is slow, sometimes when it freezes the icons (four main on home that you can't movebon stock rom) rotate an entire 90 degrees it's weird as hell
I wish I never sent my Infuse in b/c of the cracked screen I should have just gotten the screen fixed
Thanks for your response
try a factory rest through settings>privacy, then if that doesn't help do an Odin flash back to stock with repartition.
it seems rare on American devices but a lot of galaxy s devices have had trouble with the internal SD card going corrupt. in some cases its fixable but I'm not really sure if that's what's going on here.
Ok so I did reset through settings-privacy that did the trick
Now to start all over again...
I seem to be having a hard time finding the backed up files on Titanium...
oh [email protected] my bad....
I forgot to mention that the privacy reset formats the sdcard. part of why its often successful is that it'll fix certain issues with the SD card and it wipes app data saved to /sdcard/data/
titanium backup keeps the backups on the sdcard...

by the way, I think this reset option also erase everything on your external_SD as well. I found that out the hard way very early on.

[Q] Is "Manage backup & restore" Blank in CWM?

I had to use CWM to restore my phone after it crashed, by booting into recovery... But I was looking this morning... And about half way down on the main Rom Manager screen... There's a " Manage backup & restore ".... When I clicked on it... There's nothing there? I can't remember if there ever was... Or more importantly if there should be?
Thanks

Nope, I see the list of my CWM backups.
Did you have ROM manager look on your internal instead of external SD-card? (or vice versa) -- go to settings, check/uncheck use external storage.
Rom manager is for fixing permissions, don't use it for anything else

If I boot into CWM, I see the list of backups, but there's nothing in Rom Manager under Backup & Restore? (on the first screen, when you first click on Rom Manager).

Its only there if you use rom manager to back things up. rom manager flashes the recovery to the emmc and stores all of its backups there. If you format emmc the manual way it will wipe out rom managers stuff, even the recovery you flashed using it.
I used the odin way of flashing cwm, and when you format emmc it totally wipes out rom managers version

Help I accidently formatted the internal SD

Fat fingers the touch recovery......I just killed the internal SD,
Can I just reinstall ROM ? or do I need to do something else, first...
I tried to reinstall rom from external but stuck on boot animation, but not boot looping.
Thanks
Ignore!
Its almost like it cant find the internal card.
I tried to instal from internal SD...just to see if I can see any directories
and say no files found, and kicks me out.
When I do mount USB storage, only my EXT shows up, no internal no longer pops up.....am I screwed ?
How can I confirm my internal SD card is mounted/unmounted properly.
Thanks for any help
Can you get into recovery or download mode?
If you can get into download mode I would probably just reflash stock firmware and start over.
I tried that, I did ODIN to stock, it loaded the bootloader, but was stuck on boot loops again.
As far as I can tell, phone isnt seeing the internal SD card. Or I am missing the steps to make the phone see it via clock work.
I can access CWM, and DL mode.... in CWM, I can do mount USB, only my EXT shows up.
I format the internal sd(emmc) before every rom flash. Just install rom from external sd card. There is nothing left on the emmc, you wiped it
I think I m hosed....
I think something went wrong with format.
I tried to reinstall ROM, and during install
error: cant mount csdard.adnoird.secure etc...
what version of cwm?
It touch clock work mod recovery. v.5.8.1.3
Error message is
Formatting /sdcard/.andoird_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Question, are able to mount and see internal SD, after the format emmc via usb storage on PC ? Right now only the EXT shows up for me if I USB mount

I don't use that recovery. I use 5.8. I don't use internal to do anything, I always use external to flash from and store my important stuff. After a while of flashing things the emmc gets jammed up with nonsense.
Just use 5.8 touch, the have to mount and put hidden process folders in that version you have sucks.
Any chance you can link me to the recovery you use, I want to make sure I have the same one.
Thanks you again for the help. Its very appriciated

Awesome job xcrazydx, helping this guy out!!
Good to see a potential train wreck that I'm not part of, get fixed so quickly & expertly!!
Just curious, what's the difference between the two versions of CWM Touch, I'm wondering because I am also using 5.1.8.3? Is it the recovery image, or is this Touch the one developed on xda?

The 5.8 is actually a hercules version for the tmo variant. The sk8er 5.5 or whatever it is, is a version adapted specifically for the rocket, and supposedly it performs the wipe and fix functions correctly. As long as you set it up right and put the hiddenprocess folder and mount sd every time you use it. Last I knew it still won't see both sd cards at the same time. I just don't like dicking around with all that stuff.
Sk8er could probably give you a better explanation of them, I think it even mentions it throughout his thread. I have no problems with the 5.8 version and I couldn't recommend the OP on how to navigate the version he had because I don't use it. So I just moved him to the version I use. Lol
i used 5.8.1.3 and have never had any problems.... i even wipe emmc between flashes. should i not be using this one? how can i get the other?

It's decent. I get around 30mb/s most of the time

[Q] Back-Up size

since the One S doesn't come with that much internal storage..I was wondering how big a normal TWRP/CWM backup is? thanks
it depends on how much data you have installed, mine are usually around the 2gb mark. However I dont keep them on the phone.
Should something go wrong, you can mount usb storage in recovery and place it on the sd card.
if recovery dont work, you can push it via adb
My CWM nandroids are between 850 MB and 1.2 GB. No very large apps there though

ah OK.. i just did a backup on TWRP and wanna place it on sd card.. where can I find the backup file.. if there's one-- to move to sd card? thanks
Twrp backups are in sdcard/twrp/backups/sh******/
Cwm backups are in sdcard/clockworkmod/backups
Each back up will have its size on it .
Normally sense Rom is about 650mb and my data is the same.
Aosp is only 200mb could even be less and then your data on top.
I normally keep one on for safety and put rest on laptop.

Accidentally clicked 'FACTORY RESET' in HBOOT

I accidentally hit the FACTORY RESET option in HBOOT, and it seems the phone just rebooted into TWRP without doing anything. However it seems my SDcard is now empty and unformatted. Earlier I had two "Internal SDcard" options in TWRP\Mount but now I just have one, and if I try to click on Mount USB storage, the removable disk appears as an unformatted disk on my PC. Is there any to fix this? Is the SD gone for good or can I recover the data?
Run a Ruu and your phone should be fine again (dont forget to relock your bootloader)
I think your data you wiped is hopelessy gone..
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I made a nandroid luckily, but I just realised that the problem is due to the sdcard not actually being able to mount. It says
E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
I'm using TWRP 2.5, maybe I will try with 2.3.1.0.
EDIT: Okay that didn't help. If I run a RUU won't it erase my SD card? I don't want to lose what's on there, is there any way to fix it and be able to mount it again?
Bottom line: I need the data on my SD... is there any way to recover it?

No its gone sorry and no need for ruu just flash stock recovery and factory reset again.
Ten years of data just destroyed within the blink of an eye.

reformat the sd card and use recovery tools (google for them). most of your stuff will be easily brought back from the dead.

It easily could have been downloaded data. I'm really sorry to hear about your loss, but always keep a copy of your SD card on your PC, no matter what.

before going through the trouble of an RUU, if you can see the unformatted disk from your computer just try formatting it there into a FAT32 partition like you would any other drive. This has worked for folks successfully. But as for data recovery....
Dang that sucks... was there some sort of confirmation before starting the wipe? I've always been paranoid that I might fat finger it randomly and it just wipes without some kind of second check
Reflash the recovery img from fastboot then boot into recovery, you should be able to mount sd
Zero help to anyone, but I did exactly the same thing myself and had to mount the SD card in recovery and format.
It hurts!!
Well it's official. All my data is forever gone. And no there was no notification, I hit "FACTORY RESET", and it just paused for a second then rebooted into TWRP with my SD instantly destroyed. I tried every possible trick in the book. The problem for me wasn't just getting it to mount and work again, I could have done that in 20 seconds. The problem was to try and get it back WITH all my data, which I failed.
In the end, I made a RAW disk image backup of the sd card partition which for some bizarre reason ended up with a file that was 6 MB in size instead of 10 GB... I knew my data had somehow got nuked. I decided to just reformat it (Quick Format) as FAT32 on the PC, then I ran a host of data recovery programs, even those that were specialised in finding stuff from formatted drives. None of them could even find ONE file. But after format I was able to use it as normal.
I have really no clue how the entire drive was nuked within a fraction of a second, even all the data on it, but it is what it is.
On the bright side, for some reason my phone seems MUCH faster now, especially when installing apps, and the battery seems to last noticeably longer too.

You should automatically upload your photos or files somewhere. Mine upload to Dropbox so if anything bad happens, nothing too bad can go wrong.

It's hard to do recover because normal format recovery might not work but you can try the old ver of Easy Recovery Pro 6.x(I don't know why but the lastest ver seems removed RAW recovery) and use the RAW recovery, it usually could find some stuffs. You can also try out Diskgenius.
