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.

how to copy TWRP nandroid backup to device?
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.
5. stuck in boot loop

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
No. Do a full flash of userdata.img
Please explain
What would I achieve by flashing it?

A fix for your problem. I shouldn't really need to explain that.
Thanks!
I got it working now. Only need to figure out why it shows 16GB instead of 32 and why root permissions are not working

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.

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).

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.

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.

I've been using cm12 nightlies for my oneplus one to fill the gap until 12s would come out. Now that it did, it adds a whole lotta useless gapps that i dont need and cant remove. Other than disabling/using TB/deleting system apk, is there a way to get rid of them? There are zips to remove google framework from cm (freecyngn), but I want any and all gapps to be gone. Is there a way?

Completely removing system apps isn't the best idea as it'll break future updates, just freeze with Titanium.

I don't see how you find that a workaround solution. They're files, the universal standard for deleting files is via file management software. There's no way to do it via recovery, you could create a flashable script but that's the true workaround solution.

Yep. Or Titanium can remove system apps, it's a bit easier that way because they're all in one list. In the /system/app directory they're in sub-folders on Lollipop.
