[Recovery] TWRP 3.1.1-x for T31x

[Gilly10]

I've see there's a 2.7.0.1 floating about, no idea what it fixes/changes though.

 

[Android-Andi]

last part of the version-number only for device-specific changes, e.g. new kernel nothing to do with TWRP itself normally.
I count it up if i recompile because there are some new changes to make clear it's newer last time i cherry-picked a commit to add screenshot support in TWRP like you know from Android.

back up issues

I updated the recovery using the flash method and everything seems to work fine except when I did a backup, it gave me a fail message when it was complete. I rebooted and tried it again and got the same thing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

We need more info in order to help.
Backup to internal or external, compressed or not, enough free space...?

Plus a copy of the TWRP log may help as well.

I just wanted to say thanks for the quick replies. I did a hard reset and then restarted the device and it works now. I made a backup and used it after I played w with another Rom.
I really appreciate all the help and hard work you guys do.

Haven't used this in while but just noticed today that EFS isn't listed in the backup selection screen, I read your post about including it in the latest version so I re-downloaded it today from your links (both zip & odin version), EFS still isn't showing up, any suggestions?

Also anyone else using this TWRP 2.7 & have EFS backup listed?

Thanks

EDIT: Well don't I feel silly, needs mounting first D'oh! :silly:

I am running Philz recovery 6.26 right now. Would there be any advantage to using this on my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 8.0 running the latest pac-rom? Would it make future updates easier?

Just coming back to this...

Even though I stated EFS was listed in mount, it doesn't actually show up to allow you to back it up, went back to v2.6.3.0 and it works perfectly.

Also the EFS partition is still important even to WiFi only devices, it holds MAC info for Bluetooth, WiFi, plus the devices serial & probably other unique information, it even stores how many times a USB cable & headphone jack has been inserted into the device, not sure why but it's there.

Give this a try and see if it suits your needs. If so, I will include it in the next rounds of updates.

A new TWRP version has been released, version 2.7.1.0 - http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

• Add GUI option to change or repair file systems on individual partitions. The change is destructive so backup your data including internal sdcard first. This option should make it a little easier to migrate a device from ext4 -> f2fs, for instance. You will find this option under Wipe -> Advanced Wipe, then select only one partition and then press the Repair or Change File System button. If a developer has added f2fs support for your device and we don't have it in TWRP, please contact me via PM to arrange for it to be added.
• Various bugfixes to backup and restore
• Improvements to USB storage handling
• Added a class to search for files to make finding the correct brightness file automatic in most cases
• Various other bugfixes and tweaks

When/if you have time, are you able to build it?

Thank you, appreciate that you provide these recoveries for us :good:

I'll do it sometime in the next few days.

All versions updated to 2.7.1.0

Supplied in 3 formats:

• Odin flashable tar.md5 (for first time installation)
• Recovery flashable zip (requires a custom recovery to currently be installed)
• .img file (for those who use Flashify or other direct methods).

Thanks for the speedy build, main features seem to work as expected, restores fine & all mounts are shown etc. :good:

On a smaller note the brightness slider doesn't seem to work, not a major issue since many will do whatever they need to do & leave recovery but thought I'd mention it.

Checked out 2.6.3.0 & 2.7.0.0 to see if it was working in those versions, neither of those have the slider anyway on T310 version I tested.
