[RECOVERY] Patched TWRP recovery with adb working **UPDATE 10/4/14

tdunham · Oct 8, 2014

Flashable zips of the 10/4/14 files from the OP.
Confirmed they are working. Have not tested backup & restore.

Nice! So nothing else needs to be done besides install zip in recovery?

Right. Now remember not to rely on them for backups. 2.8.0.1 has the issue backing up to external sd where the backups disappear. Test them out and let us know. It doesn't do it for me but it has been discussed heavily in the twrp threads.

Ah thanks for the heads up I will do a backup and then check the SD afterwards.

It appears to be working. I have the boot, data, and system files in the folder, broken into 1GB or so chunks. Does that sound right?
I feel like way back when I used CWM it dumped everything into one big file.

It backs up to multiple files for me too, I have tested restores successfully from ext SD card too BTW. My tests were ran with the img though, not the flashable zip, but I would assume they should work the same if it was built with my img file.

Not sure what your asking, can you provide a little more context?

Can someone post a link to the twrp kltespr.tar please. Ops links are down. Thanks

Every time i boot up to flash my rom using TWRP it goes back to download mode I'm assuming the bootloader is locked from what i see.

Bootloaders are not locked on this phone.
You probably have to delete the hidden twrps file out of the twrp folder to reset twrp settings.
I would odin philz recovery so you flash whatever you need and then deal with twrp later.

Just out of curiosity, what hidden files are you referring to? I've used TWRP for a while and recently purchased my s5 and never ran into this. Especially from a fresh install of TWRP.

All versions of twrp I've ever used create a .twrps hidden file in the root of the twrp folder that can be seen by a root browser. It stores the settings for twrp.
If the file gets corrupted or is not compatible across version of twrp, you can either find and delete it (if you can find it) or just delete the entire TWRP folder.
Last thing isn't always an option for some since it deletes any backups in there too.

Thanks for the quick response and insight. Push come to shove I'll use Philz

Edit: ran into the same issue with Philz recovery so i know it's a phone issue.
