Using XtreSoLite ROM on a Galaxy S5. When I do a TWRP backup (default settings) and I target my external SD card (64GB SanDisk microSD), the backup succeeds and I can go back to the main TWRP menu and verify that the backup was created in a new folder called 'TWRP' on the SD card. However, once I boot into the system and get past the unlock screen, that TWRP folder is deleted from the SD card along with the backup.
All of the other files on the SD card are untouched, just anything to do with TWRP is removed.
Any idea what could cause this? I searched the thread for my specific ROM with no luck regarding this issue.
I have this issue as well running the stock rom. I also have the 64 gb card. Near as I can tell something about the way TWRP is writing the files to the file system (exfat) android doesnt like and corrects which removes the files. If I pull the card out of the phone before booting android I can see the files on the PC. The work around I'm currently using is to mount an external USB storage to do my backup, then copying the backup to the SD card in android.
..
Hey there guys...its happening to me as well and its annoying because you cant rely in your backups!
Any solution or just that SD take out workaround? Its kinda dangerous because you can corrupt the SD by doing this often!

TWRP Backups being deleted at boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My solution for this error:
--Device S5 mini G800F
--TWRP 2.8.1
--MicroSD 64Gb
--TotalCommander for android instaled.
Step by Step:
1. Boot in recovery mode.
2. Create and save your backup into extSDCard (TWRP/backups folder).
* Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = my last backup folder name created automatically by TWRP.
-- 2016-01-01--01-01-01 = backup date and time
-- XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY = phone and rom model/version
3. Open File Manager in TWRP and copy your backup folder (2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY) from extSDCard to internal memory.
4. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
5. Open TotalCommander and navigate to extSDCard/backup folder (extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc)
6. Create new folder and rename it with your backup name folder. *Example: extSDCard\TWRP\BACKUPS\14001308b6ffd4cc\2016-01-01--01-01-01 XXXXX.YYYYYYYYYYYYY
7. Go to internal memory (copied backup folder) and copy all files to created folder in step 6.
8. Restart in recovery mode, run file manager in TWRP and delete backup folder from internal memory.
9. Restart your phone (system restart in twrp).
10. Finish.

Reboot into Download Mode, utilize Odin to flash back to JFD (directions in the Vibrant Bible sticky thread in the Dev forum), root, install ROM Manager, and then reinstall Bionix.

Find a copy of the update.zip from clockwork. Put this on your sd card (the internal one) and try the reinstall packages option.
If this doesn't work. Research odin and do a restore using it.

Did you put it on your internal sd card? If you can't boot you would have had to use ADB to push it there....
EDIT: Also, did you have a lag fix enabled, namely voodoo, before you tried to "restore"?
I have attached a copy of the update.zip for cwm vibrant and a copy of the files needed for adb. Let me know if you need help setting it up.
hey guys can you guys help me install this rom on my phone its aready rooted Eugene's Ginger Clone 2.2 gingerbread clone... please!!!

move to sdcard/
go to recovery
make backup
flash rom (install zip from sd)
reboot
First install his rom then connect your phone to your computer and mount. Then put the rom in the internel SD card the one without avatar. Don't rename the file. Then boot into recovery and reinstall packages twice. Then you will be in clockwork wipe factory reset and cache. Then go to install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card and find the rom. Don't forget to backup your apparently.

What is the point of making a backup? I mean, you can always go to stock using odin and the JFD tar and pit.
Is backup just to save all your personal files, pics, music, etc?

Everytime I reboot into recovery and try and get ti to install, I get the same message over and over; something to the effect of package not found. Thanks

you don't rename it. maybe your choosing the update zip from sd. it should be choose zip file from sd card then you choose the custom rom you're flashing.

Yea, thanks. I thought that was what I am supposed to do. I don't have that option though. When I reboot into recovery (through ROM Manager or on my own) I only have the STOCK recovery options. For some reason, the Clockworkmod options are not showing up. I noticed this about a month ago. I will have to try and figure that out first. Thanks again.

Have you flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager? If so, when you get into stock recovery just hit reinstall packages to get to cwm. You may have to do that twice to get it to work. If it still doesnt work try reflashing cwm from rom manager.

I had been doing everything right. I had to roll back to CWM version 2.5 (I think it is about 3 or 4 versions earlier than the current one). No wonder they have been making so many updates over the past few days. Well at any rate, I wanted to ensure I wasn't doing anything wrong. i have done it before, but for whatever reason (now known to be CWM) it just wasn't working. I got it fixed and now have 2.3. I will install my apps including Titanium Backup and report any problems. I hope there are none; from what it sounds like, I will probably not have any, but only time will tell. Thanks for posting and confirming that I was not losing my mind.

This method is depreciated. Please use cicada's ZIP.
Hi,
After a very polite discussion with members of this community. I've simply decided to go back to my life without XDA.
Sorry.
I'll leave you these files which work for sure. These can be flashed using IOMonster's rootpack.
Overlclocked kernel 1100mhz FOR FROYO ONLY you could try out, but this kernel hasn't been exhaustively tested: -Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-install.zip here. -Download flashable 1100-froyo-test-kernel-removal.zip here. Kernels originally posted by dalingrin, found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
In case anything goes wrong and your NC won't boot anymore: Flashable zip (to copy to root of sdcard):
-Download flashable repartition-boot-with-froyo.zip here.
-Download flashable repartition-boot-with-stock.zip here.
If you use stock-boot after having flashed froyo, it will not be enough to boot entirely, it will only show you "touch the futur screen". For it to boot completely, you'll have to format system and data, then use complete-restore-to-stock-1.0.1 after that, or install froyo-emmc again. This should only repair your boot (mmcblk0p1) partition, allowing your NC to boot again.
See 'Restore to stock' thread regarding restoring/flashable zip download.
Thank you for your support.
Have fun.
Sam

Gonna pick a nook color up today this looks great thanks for ur hard work.
One think can a guy just make a backup via cwr?
Well that's a question you should ask IOMonster. But one thing is sure, the sd's size (1gb) wont suffice for a total backup of the nook. And I'm not sure nandroids are totally stable yet..

Anything is possible. Actually, all you would need to do from now on to make a flashable "mod", would be to make an .img of your customized system (with dd), making sure you leave all private data out of it. And then copy it to my existing zip by replacing the existing /tmp/system.img. The script would do the rest.
Well that's if you don't need to copy anything to /data. In that later case script would need just a few more lines...
That's all..

I've restored from a CWM backup several times to replace a development image that was less than functional . As long as:
1) you only need to restore /boot, /data/ and /system
2) your new update .zip doesn't break CWM (doesn't replace uRecRam)
It should work fine.
Even if it does break CWM on install, IOMonsters SD should still work fine. Just some thoughts...
Can anyone place these files on a mirror? Can't d/l from work....blocked by IT. >=(
I'm trying to download the files but the website won't let me. It's stuck in loop.
Superb!
Thanks so much. I've been really looking forward to this.
Also, fyi, I had to use IE to download the image, didn't work with Chrome.

I got hung up trying to dd the blocks (mmcblk0p3), then device rebooted on its own...then got stuck in bootloop...pulled the sd card and shut down for 5 - 10 mintues.
turned on to see and it booted fine back to Auto-nootered Eclair....
Now just waiting to be able to download file....
So, I have a CWM backup image that I've successfully restored in the past, that should suffice right?
Also, is it actually necessary to use this bootable CWM or is it possible to install the zip directly from CWM on my device?
For those who has done this (emmc), is it yielding noticable improvement over SD cards? One of my chief complaints about the current Froyo build is the lag (opening gmail can take upwards of 2 mintues sometimes, among a host of other complaints. How is the responsiveness now?
It should also work with internal cw recovery. But then you have no way back without an sdcard, because cwr dosent boot on nookie yet.

So cwr doesn't work with nookie froyo yet? Does that mean that I can't flash a kernel without using the sdcard and in doing so loose all data because it will overwrite the boot partition? I think I'm confused

If you can verify the presence of a nandroid backup....created by CWM recovery ....then you may be able to use rom manager to restore the build. As they are compatible and made by the same developer. It's odd that you can't see the backup.
Can you see it from a file manager ?? Or can you move it ??? To a folder that is seen in recovery ???
Even if you can't access the file from the device ..you could use a PC and move it that way, then CWM could see it .
However, if you used some other method to create that backup ....then you must restore using the same method or application.
Worst case ....flash a fresh build and start again ...g
you could flash twrp recovery and see if it works with that
This is the newest philz recovery with an OG clockworkmod theme.
All credits go to invisiblek. I am just posting here with his permission.

The aromafm.zip is for aroma file manager. Place zip in /data/media/0/clockworkmod/aromafm/. They zip file will be in the folder with your variant recovery.img

No it does not.
<•invisiblek> would need f2fs-support in the boot.img's fstab
<•invisiblek> and if recovery thought it'd be a good idea to re-write that, you're going to end up with an un-bumped boot.img
its in his long term plan but its not there right now.

Well, tried on my D850 and installed and ran fine, but 2 issues:
1. Can't mount external SD (SanDisk 64Gb in FAT32 but soon going back to ExFat), the path for it is incorrect and no option to change it
2. Installed a Zip file that replaced the kernel and even though it said all went ok it was never installed
Had to flash back the TWRP recovery (even though that one can't read my external_SD either no matter the format) so I can flash the new kernel properly.
Waiting for your next release to test it out.
