[RECOVERY][grouper] TWRP 3.1.1-0 touch recovery [2017-05-19]

[Bingley]

Hi, I just backed up a Nexus 7 2013 with 3.0.2-0 and factory reset. I then tried to restore but /system is erroring with 'extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255'
Specifically: "tar_extract_file(): failed to extract /system//vendor/pittpatt/models/recognition/face.face.y0-y0-71-N-tree_7-wmd.bin !!! I:Unable to extract tar archive '/data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/0a445967/2016-09-23--07-25-52_MOB30X/system.ext4.win' Error during restore process. extractTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255 I:Failed to reset capabilities of /system/bin/run-as binary."

How can I proceed/restore my backup? I can extract the file it errors on but have no idea how to fix it fully

Most likely a read error ... I am facing this problem from time to time, too, and it happens almost always when I forgot to unmount the filesystem where I wrote the backup file to.
Unfortunately there is not much hope to recover from that error. You can try to copy the file to your PC and to untar it there ... but most likely tar will throw some errors, too.

Have you had any luck figuring out this issue? I also have a N7 2013, and am trying to restore a backup as well., but coming across this exact error. TIA!

Nope, sorry. I had to re-flash whole rom from Google and start again. You could try than the. Restoring your data partition only.
One q: did you enable compression? First time I did that this happened, could be coincidence but also could be reason.

I appreciate the quick reply!
It looks like compression is enabled by default in TWRP, so yes.

Some further digging and several hours later, I was able to get things back!
Since I had a full backup, I transferred it to my computer over USB (while in TWRP).
Then I converted the system.ext4.win into a flashable ZIP. Flashed that in TWRP, and also restored Data.

This didn't boot back into Android, and took me straight back into TWRP.
So I used a downloaded Factory Image (with the proper build number, and straight from Google) and unpacked that file. While in the bootloader, using fastboot I flashed system.img and boot.img.
Then I had to re-flash TWRP (from bootloader). Booted back into TWRP, and flashed SuperSU and the other custom system stuff (custom kernel).

Booted back into the system, and it was back to normal as if nothing had ever happened.

FYI this whole issue started after I flashed Xposed in TWRP, because the system was hanging at boot.

Nice work! I'd be interested in how you did this step:
'Then I converted the system.ext4.win into a flashable ZIP. Flashed that in TWRP, and also restored Data.'

Definitely a post to remember for future fcukups!

Hi, I've been using twrp recovery 3.0.2.0 for a while now on 3 different devices and it works fine. On Xperia Z c6603 ( CM 13- yuga ) when I flash update or something I noticed this error ( sbin/postrecoveryboot.sh process ended with ERROR = 2 ), but it finishes flashing without a problem. I tried to reflash twrp with twrp manager, but nothing changed, error stayed. On my other devices there is no such error. What is this error and how can I fix it?

I've had the exact same problem again, on the exact same file except during a new backup-restore procedure. I've bypassed it by disabling md5 checking during restore, and deleting 'face.face.y0-y0-71-N-tree_7-wmd' from the system.ext4.win before flashing that. Now I guess I have no facial recognition for unlocking but eh

Hi there

I have latest twrp on bacon (one plus one) and I'm experiencing restore backup problems. There are no backup or restore errors. All looks fine. However, after restore process completed, when I boot system I'm getting some system settings reverted to defaults, not as it should be restored.

I'm on cm14.1, Android 7.1 Nougat and after I restore TWRP backup, following settings are not restored correctly:
- Buttons settings
- Live Display settings
- Gestures settings
- Status bar settings
All of above are always reverted to defaults after restore from backup. Any ideas why?

Thank you, this version is awesome. It is all that I could ever ask for.

What causes error 11 in TWRP while flashing a .zip?

On the Nexus 7 (2012) After Flashing AOSP 7.1.1 - You get the message "are you sure you want to Reboot - No O/S installed". TWRP 3.0.2-0 does confirm that the Flash was successful.

After checking to see if anyone else had this issue before - it was confirmed that the error is with TWRP 3.0.2-0 and it's not recognizing that the O/S is installed.

I'll post the recovery log here shortly. I did think it useful to post this as is without the recovery log ASAP in case someone else has the same issue.

Thanks.

Question about restoring from a backup: do I have to wipe my existing partitions that will be restored or will the restore process wipe them for me? I don't want to have leftover files from a previous ROM in my restored ROM.

The restore will overwrite what was there previously.

 

[Emin015]

The restore will overwrite what was there previously.

So there won't be any conflicts or leftover files from another ROM? Because I'm worried that I should have wiped my phone before restoring.

I'm on twrp 2.7. Is there a flashable zip of 3 or at least the 2.8 that I can install .IMG versions from?
