TWRP crashing... - Nexus 9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to use TWRP to update to a new cm12 nightly, but every time I select the zip and try to flash it, TWRP crashes and reboots. Is there something I'm missing? It's probably just a noob mistake... For example I only today figured out how to get TWRP to cooperate with encryption and my pattern lock on boot up, hah. I thought it wasn't mounting storage because something was corrupted. Anyways, thanks for any suggestions you can give.

What version of twrp are you using?

I have the same issue. It is only with 5.1 Android and I am using 2.8.5 TWRP

I had the problem this afternoon. I just tried it again and it worked. Didn't change anything.. never had problems like this on any other Nexus device. Creepy.

2.8.5.0. But I did some more tinkering today and eventually solved my problem. Here's to help you others who saw the same thing: I tried using progressively older versions of TWRP to see if they're used work, until version 2.8.2.1 I think. At that version, instead of crashing, it gave me an error that my zip file was corrupted. I deleted the zip and downloaded it again, switched back to version 2.8.5.0, and everything worked. (except for the Rom, which had bugs that made it unusable, but at least it flashed successfully and booted lol). Hopefully my experience can help someone else now.

I'm having issues with twrp hopefully I found the right thread. It shows no storage available? I'm trying to flash CM. Thanks

TWRP 2.4 is out

Hello fellow Touchpad enthusiasts,
I happened to see TWRP has a version 2.4 available to us - http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/tenderloin
I saw it posted in other device forums, but not ours so thought I'd share the news.
About all I can tell you is it installed without any major problems. Nothing else tested other than boot into it and reboot to CM 10. I just moved ver 2.3 and copy/renamed 2.4 into same directory. Only problem encountered was old ver permissions were messed up so had to mess around before I was able to move the old ver. That and I reset permission on new ver to match - forget what I modeled it after - the other recovery uImage since I have them both installed.
As always ymmv.

It would be easier for you to install from goo manager, just tap install openrecoveryscript and your done.

I read about incompatibility problems between TWRP 2.4.3.0 and TouchPad.
But does anybody know what about the new twrp-2.4.4.0-tenderloin?
Please fulfill:
TWRP v.________ and ROM ToolBox
CWM v._________ and GooManager
Edit:
Above is false. You should use ...
... TWRP with GooManager and ...
... CWM with ROM ToolBox!
I will stick with CWM. Seems stable enough, it works as it should, and I don't mind to scroll through using my volume rocker.

I updated to 2.4.4 but haven't tested yet, but lots of people were having issues on the Nexus 4 on 2.4.3.0 and after the update nobody has any problems. I know the touchpad is a different animal but i bet it works now. No way I'm ever going back to cwm. Twrp has the best setup & all the right features.
Everytime I tried to flash a zip for a bug fix (headphone detection glitch, etc) it would fail in TWRP. Every time. So I went back to CWM. Goomanager is completely unreliable in regards to finding rom updates, etc.

Are you using the latest version? Twrp is working perfectly for me.
Update:
I take my message back. I backed up, did a factory reset, restored my backup, & everything is there except it twrp didn't restore my app data nor my system settings data.
Update:
I just flashed shumash's new build with success. So flashing in twrp is now working fine for me. Going to have to investigate why my restore didn't fully work on my previous post.
Is anybody else using the latest Twrp?
New twrp 2.5 out. Haven't tested it out yet. But it looks like they fixed the restore issues.

Nice! Let us know how it goes for you. I had a few issues with 2.4.4 but my last couple backups and restores worked great. Thanks for letting us know!
And it don't work. Its worse. It restored 5 apps out off 250... It booted though. But i also had a cwm backup done right before so its all good.

So did you have 2.4.4 before & if so did you have success with that?
I did and it had the same issue but I was only missing 20 apps or so

[Q] TWRP Freezes on Splash Screen.

After installing the unofficial CyanogenMod 11 build, whenever I try to boot into TWRP it hangs at the logo.
I've went back to stock and reflashed the latest TWRP via Odin but it refused to go past the "teamwin" screen.
I tried different versions of TWRP and nothing works. My SD Card is not detected either; I don't know if that's related.
I'm not sure where else to go from here.
You can try the version of TWRP before the current one, read somewhere that a few people where having problems with latest version. Might help.

I'll give it a try and update with results.
EDIT: Didn't work. Got stuck on the "RECOVERY BOOTING....." screen with nothing coming up.
Just flashed 2.6.3.0 and got stuck at the splash screen again.

Trouble with TWRP 2.7.10

I have a Galaxy S5 from T-Mobile and was using TWRP recovery. I had made a back-up of everything and had to restore using it. After the restore Every app I tried to open had this error "unfortunately (app name) has stopped. This was with every app!!! Is there a setting I am missing? Could it have to do with other back-ups , i.e. Dropbox , Google or Samsung. Do these have to be turned off?
Please help.

Hey Leon, sorry for your problem.
When you made a back up, it was with twrp or titanium backup, or something else?
I had an issue using the backup feature of any custom recovery, so I stick to using titanium backup and having it back everything up to my sd card so if I flash anything and the internal memory is wiped, I still have my data.
Hope you get it figured out Leon.
TWRP 2.7.0.0 makes reliable backups for the S5. There was an update to 2.7.1.0 a few weeks ago (the version number in your thread title is incorrect). The changelog for the current version doesn't appear to suggest any major changes and I don't see any reason to rush into an upgrade. Newer isn't necessarily better and I will wait a while before updating in case any unexpected bugs arise.
Having said that, it's unlikely that there is a problem with TWRP. The TWRP team does great work and bugs are rare. You should read the TWRP threads to see if anyone else is having problems. The existing threads would also be a more effective place to seek assistance. Bugs should be posted to the TWRP github issues log so that they can address them.
.
I have there exact same problem. I was too lazy to report that and then I saw your that. After restoring the backup, none of the apps open. No solution yet.

An easy workaround and a way to identify some alternate causes of your difficulties would be to use version 2.7.0.0 for now since it has been widely reported as reliable.
Go into recovery and fix permissions and wipe all caches

You posted earlier that you had the exact same problem as the OP. But now it turns out that you're not even using the same version of TWRP as he is.
If you missed that critical detail, it raises the real possibility that you might be using a TWRP build intended for a different device. And that would surely cause just the type of problem that you are having. Ensure that you are using a TWRP or Philz build that is intended for your exact handset.

[Q]All Roms failing during flashingon Note 3 - PROBLEM SOLVED!

Hey Guys
I'm a experienced flasher but I have ran into a issue with flashing roms on my Note 3. I had recently just been running stock rooted rom (basically I rooted my phone the day it came out with Sprint and never have update anything). So when I noticed that ny son's note 3 (note rooted) got an update recently, I decided to look for an updated base and broadband for my phone, which I thought I had found. So after so help with figuring out which update I needed to do, I figured NH7 was the latest. Finally got my phone updated or so it appeared.
So this week I've been trying desperately to update to MOAR S5 PORT (NE5 based I believe) I followed the instructions carefully and tried all 3 versions. All failed. So I restored my phone. Tonight I tried flashing flashing Pac-man rom. Same thing happened. Failed during install.
Can you guys take a look at my setup and tell me what may be wrong? Doing a clean install each time.

UPDATED 10/24/2014:
I had to reflash all the Note 3 stock tar's in order. Then root with Chainfire Auto Root. Then install Clockwork MOD Recovery. Now I can flash roms.

Wipe wipe Wipe and when it fails to flash then restart recovery And it will flash then ....
So wipe 3 times. Then when it fails. Reboot to recovery and flash again? Do I need to wipe again before flashing?

Any time you wipe the system partition, you MUST restart TWRP recovery before flashing the rom of your choice,.. or it'll fail every time.
Ok. I will try that noq

Let us know how it goes. Happy flashing.
So I wiped everything. Tried to install and it failed. So i go to reboot to recovery and it ask me about superuser. But it doesnt install because their is no OS. REBOOT to recovery and it fails again
Do I need to format data?
Actually I dont even see a option in TWRP to format data
I wonder if I should try a dirty flash?
I would odin flash a full stock nh7. To get you all the way to nh7. I see you are still at nab on one. I had problems when they weren't all the same. I could be wrong.... I'm a noob. lol
Then, root with chanfires autoroot. Install your recovery. Then, flash your rom of choice.
NOTE: I said nh7.... but, if the rom you want to use isn't, then odin to nab or whatever the rom you want to run is. I don't know about downgrading, could make a brick.... lol
Research everything I said before you do anything! Or wait for someone to correct what's wrong with what I said! I take no responsibility for what you do to your phone!
one of your issues is you updated wrong! unless you were on nc5 you shouldnt jump right to nh7. you have to update in order to insure no issues. so if oyu were nqb or ever mi3 you need to go in order mi3>nab>nc5>nh7
Chainfires auto root.....http://download.chainfire.eu/362/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip
Here is Supersu download.....so when you check to see if you have root.....it will all be good.......http://download.chainfire.eu/578/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.14.zip
Odin v3.07.......http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738841
now you can try to go back to stock and flash whichever you are going to flash........or you can do a reflash of whatever you want....I have notice a losss of root also too.
also make sure to look into all those fixes for security patches xda has for our phone......download and scan with bluebox security and search for any open links that have a fix here on xda........
this happened to me the other weekend and it took an afternoon to dig all resources to figure out why and what i needed to do........I started rooting with a samsung moment......
I am back to stock.....no complaints.....but only did to get home before i go back to a rom.......hope we have helped....
Thanks guys. I will try all of these

I dont see a new TWRP. All I see is version 2,8
I installed all the updates back to back. I have TWRP installed and I'm on NH7 now. But I cant get root. Chainfire Auto took me back to stock recovery and I'm not rooted. So I flashed TWRP via Odin and flashed ChainFire Superuser v.2.14 and I'm still not rooted. All thought it say it worked. So WHen I reboot, what do I need to do then? I have SU installed
Ok guys. After flashing all the Roms in order via ODIN. I finally have NH7 working and rooted.
I just tried wiping system, data,dalvik and cache. Then I immediately rebooted to recovery and tried to flash MOAR V1. and Pac-man rom. Both failed.
One thing Im noticing in recovery is that the system is not mounted in when wiping. So I tried wiping with and without system being mounted and got the same result. One thing Im not sure about with flashing for the note is if the Data should be formatted before installing? However I dont see that option in TWRP.
This is the only phone Ive had this much trouble with when it came to flashing.
Any ideas?

for some reason, I'm only getting to the twrp 3 screen and not into twrp 3 yet. CM13 still works, I can boot into the os, but I cant flashify twrp, I cant reboot into twrp and now I'm stuck trying to reflash twrp from android terminal. any ideas why this failed?
Seems like the issue was my SD card. No reason for it, but when I pulled my sd card, rebooted into recovery, twrp 3 would work fine. Just FYI if anyone else gets stuck on the recovery TWRP 3 boot screen. I found the info here
