[Q] Nandroid Backup Problem - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I was trying to back up my current ROM (Purity w/Code Blue Kernel) using nandroid. But, when I do a quick backup (Set recovery as TWRP), it says that I don't have enough disk space. I have more than 25gb free, lol. This has happened several times - I've factory reset and also flashed a factory image. Nothing works. I would appreciate a solution.
Thanks

Try Philz Touch and see if it throws the same error?

Not exactly sure what that is, sorry, noob here. I Googled it and I assume it's an improvement to CWM?

Its a recovery, originally based on CWM but far superior.

Can you go into Bootloader/Fastboot? (Volume Down + Power)
EDIT: Read your other thread. You need to flash a stock recovery. You can do that via fastboot. Flash a stock recovery, format SD card, then flash a custom recovery again and you should be good to go.
Process of flashing any recovery is easy. Refer to the method in my signature, you just need to follow the RECOVERY FLASHING PART ONLY.
Other necessary info is also available.

Fastboot drivers ok?
where did you get from and then put recovery.img?
also check name of the whateverRecovery.img file to be the same as "recovery.img"

Great. Now you have a stock recovery. Just format the SD Card from recovery and the SD should be good.
Afterwards, you can flash any custom recovery and mess around with flashing ROMs etc.

Download This. Open the zip file with 7-Zip or WinRAR, go to firmware.zip, extract recovery.img.
Then flash the recovery in the same way. This is the stock recovery and not TWRP.
I am assuming your phone to be S3 and updated to Jellybean already.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Bootloop

Hi. Please help. I have been running CM10.1 on my rooted tablet and I decided to try CM11. I don't know what I have done but CM11 did not work so I tried to go back to CM10.1, and that just gets stuck on the boot screen. I have tried several different Roms and they all get stuck on the boot screen. The only Rom that will work is CM9.1? I don't know what I could have done to cause this. I am running Philz Touch 6.12.8. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Your EFS seems to be broken for some reason... that´s why it won´t boot into system....
this got reported in a german forum, because 2 guys flashed CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch on the device... CWM 6.0.4.4-Touch not released for the Tab 2 - it was for a different device and flashing that recovery brokes EFS for them.

Latest CWM Touch for our Device 6.0.2.7 ... i am sure you used a file for a different device and that broke your EFS!
Do you still have the file? you can upload it for me and send me a private message with the link, i can take a look on it. Please don't post the file here in the thread (i do not like to see someone else flashing it and breaking his efs).

[Q] [HELP] Nexus 5 Failed To Boot After Unpurposeful Flashing Wrong Kernel

Allriiiggghhhtt, so I managed myself to root and install custom recovery (TWRP) in my Nexus 5. Shortly I unpurposely flashed the wrong kernel that I downloaded for swipe2wake ability, when I wanted to flash the Faux kernel into my device. And after flashed the wrong kernel my device won't boot, but still can get into the recovery and also tried to re-flash the kernel, fix permissions, restore my back up, wipe the Dalvik and cache and still won't boot up.
Any solution?
Actually, I managed myself to see another solution to re-flash the stock rom which means full factory reset, but at least I want to troubleshoot this thing first before I flash it with stock rom.
Depends on what kernel you flashed. You might be hosed or it might be recoverable.

Nope, I'm not using that app, I had it before in trial but uninstall it and flash to stock kernel. But I had download its custom kernel that I get from the link that the developer provided in Google Play Store description and stored in my storage, and never flash it from TWRP. But now I unpurposely flashed that custom kernel when I tried to flash Franco Kernel.

Factory image not flashing via TWRP

Hi,
my tf700 refuses to flash the factory images provided by asus. I have tried it on twrp 2.8.7.0 and twrp 2.8.7.2 by AREA51.
Both give the error: "Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/WW_epad-user-10.6.1.14.10.zip'"
Can anyone help me fix this?

"assert failed: package_extract_file("blob", "/tmp/blob")"
Edit:
I seem to have a lot of inconsistencies with my tablet, one time flashing a rom works, the other time it doesn't. Installing factory images works, then it doesn't. One time setup gets past "Checking internet connection" other times it doesn't (<-my biggest problem atm).
What have you guys done to make it work so well or what have I done to mine that it doesn't

It may be running out of memory when extracting the file. The blob has 800 MB, the device has 1 GB of RAM, and TWRP needs more memory than the stock recovery.
You can try extracting the blob on your PC and installing it with
Code:
fastboot flash staging blob

Now I need to reinstall Omnirom and hope it works and not hang at Asus' splashscreen.
Edit2: Any idea why the kanged version of twrp doesn't save settings? The "allow modifications" thing keeps coming back, timezones aren't saved etc. etc.
