Hello there im new to the android scene, i have rooted my lg g5 and have twrp on my phone. However i stumbled across a problem with the recovery
while on twrp.
I did a wipe before trying to restore my previous backup from micro sd (format ex2). when the phone boots i get a white screen saying (encryping on the top) and (reset phone button in the middle of the screen).
Cant seem to get out of it, would appreciate it if someone can help me?
Also a Popup screen shows : "Warning! Current version is not available for user. cant find matched cust for Nt-code mcc/mnc[FFFFFF],subset[11]"

1. flash SuperSU package http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu-stable with TWRP to get out of encrypt issue
2. after rooted and booted, navigate to root/cust and delete all files and folders from that folder so you won't get that popup at startup
dont work
still no fix man, i navigated to root from twrp, there wasnt any "cust" folder or file, so i deleted root instead thinking it will delete those folders you suggested, since it was hidden.

I wonder how could have you deleted root since that is a system folder
you might be in some issues deleting it
anyway, I recommend flashing back V10d with LGUP and try to install TWRP and what you need after
I had the same issue, wiping data, cache & dalvik in twrp fixed it for me.

Hey guys,
I have a little problem I can't find a solution to by searching.
I have a GS3 i9300 rooted with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.
When rooting, a version of CWM was installed (5.something).
Later, when installing af custom rom, I followed instructions and updated to a newer CWM (6.0.1.2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1719744
Later, I was thinking about restoring my original system backup, which I had made with the older CWM version right after rooting.
The new CWM can't restore my older backup. It can't recognize the file, not even when I copy it manually to the new CWM folder.
How can I solve this problem?
Do I need to install an older CWM again?
If yes, then one more question: As I said, my original CWM was installed when rooting. Can someone give me a download just for the CWM tar file included in the mentioned CF-Root?
Thanks a lot in advanced,
Agoston
Replace with older CWM root .

still not recognizing + weird directory tree
After trying out three custom ROMs and after updating CWM, my system directory is rather weird. Besides the usual system folders, there is a "0" folder, that contains another set of system folders, and another "0" folder, containing the same. Also, my free internal storage as good as disappeared, from 8 GB to 1 GB. So, it looks like I have several systems on each other?!
How can I reduce this weird directory tree to just one? Do I need to wipe the SD-card?!
And by the way, I rooted the device again through Odin, and the old CWM is now installed again. Still though, it can't recognize the old backup.
As you probably imagine, I am hesitating to format SD-card, especially if CWM can't restore my factory ROM.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I copied the backup directory manually to the "most superficial" CWM folder, and now trying system restore. I'ts not easy with four (!) different CWM directories.
Unfortunately I got an "error restoring data" message, and the phone is stuck in Samsung logo when booting.
Also, when trying to do a factory reset, I get the message: "error mounting /sd-card/.android_secure!"
Could this be because there is not enough space or something?!
If someone could help me with how to proceed, I would appreciate it!
Thanks.
Okay, the issue is solved. I admit, I might have been a little inpatient. Despite the "error restoring data" message, the stock factory system booted after a few tries - I might not have waited long enough. It seems that these "Folder 0"s were all just security copies of the old systems, and of course consumed a lot of hard disc space, so I just deleted them. Haven't met any negative consequences so far. I just got scared because of the error message and the too long boot time. Also this phenomenon with "Folder 0"s is not something I met before on other devices.
This error is still not answered on the forums so im starting a new thread.
i get the error as the title.
sd card space is not the problem.
i tried formatting the sd card.
i have less than 50 apps installed.
wiped dalvik cache, and all other sorts people say on other posts.
(my phone is LG P936 so "fix permission" screws up the phone. all text disappears)
have latest cwm recovery.
and still get the error.
any answers please?
and please dont reply if you are going to write an opinion.
only answers please.
sorry for my rude behaviour but I'm sick and tired of reading posts full of opinions and "maybe"s.
Not sure if you ever got this fixed but I 'm suffering from the same error. I tried pretty much everything you tried (even fix permissions) and I have about 20GB free on my SD card so space shouldn't be an issue. I have not yet tried formatting the SD card since it has always worked and CWM is able to write to it because the following files are created:
- boot.img
- data.ext3.tar
- recovery.img
- system.ext3.tar
The files that are missing are (based on older backups):
- .android_secure.vfat.tar
- cache.ext3.tar (probably because I wiped it first?)
- nandroid.md5
I have attached the log from CWM in the hopes that someone can tell me what is wrong. The error occurs at the end of the progress bar of 'backing up /data'.
hey just use TWRP Recovery. It's way better than CWM. normal backup on cwm took me like an hour but twrp was never longer than 10minutes.
Today I have formatted the SD card and tried again, but as expected it did not change anything.

I guess I will give this a try. Can I just install it over CWM or can they run side by side?
different reciveries cannot be run side by side as they are installed on a different partition. so it will always be installed over your current one.

Well, I tried TWRP and it also fails at backing up my data partition. The log is a bit more clear though and it seems to get stuck on "/data/data/com.android.vending/cache/images" which is the last line before it gives an error. I checked the "images" folder and it seems empty but I cannot delete it. Tried ES File Explorer and Terminal Emulator but no way to get rid of it. The folder appears to be related to Google Play, so I cleared all data and cache from Google Play, even uninstalled the updates but there 's simply no way to get rid of it. I 'm not sure if this is the reason why the backup fails, but I CAN copy the folder and even rename it.
Pff looks like I 'm going to have to do a clean install after all .
Hello, I too have this problem and unfortunately TWRP is not available for my phone.
I used to be able to do CWM backups fine on my old phone, and they work great on my tablet. But they consistently fail at "/data" on my Galaxy Ace II x. Might it be because I'm using Link2SD? I don't see why that would cause a problem, but maybe it's having trouble with the symlinks?
Hmm. Seems the issue was that, despite having only 1.28 GB total available storage space on stock, the backups wanted more than 4 GB. Cleared some room on my microSD card and suddenly backups worked fine! Of course, shortly after I installed CyanogenMod, which has much smaller backups...

I forgot to report back here but the only way I found to fix the problem was by doing a clean install. After that, I was able to backup my data partition again. I then restored my apps ' data with TB and was unable to backup the data partition again. I 'm guessing one of my apps had corrupt data, but never got to find out which one it was.
maybe your partition not match with recovery, like something wrong vold.fstab
Just in case anyone still wants to know how to fix this, I managed to solve it by running these commands:
1. run adb shell in recovery.
2. unmount data partition (umount /dev/block/mmcblk0p26). -> this one failed so I skipped it
3. run e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48659092&postcount=868 for original post.
I got a few HTREE errors and a bunch of duplicate names which I renamed when prompted. Booted the phone and rebooted into TWRP and now I am able to backup my data partition again. :good:
EDIT: Problem reappeared so I tried the above commands again but it said that the filesystem was clean. Ran 'e2fsck -f /dev/block/mmcblk0p26' instead and had to fix a bunch of HTREE errors from Facebook again and duplicate names from Xprivacy but now I 'm able to backup my data partition again.
Dude just selest the backup format as both zip and tar filea
I really need help. Major problem.
My storage is not working at all (external-SD card one). I'll try to give all the info about the problem and how it appeared:
My One X+ was on CM 10.1.3 with BLADE kernel 3.1.10 #201305062233 (I didn't use the included kernel in the ROM.zip, used an older version instead). Yesterday I tried to update to CM 10.2 Nightly (I think it was 20131105) but through the CM Updater. It downloaded the ROM and I updated it without flashing the boot.img previously and the phone rebooted and got stuck at bootscreen but, ok, than I tried to flash the kernel through the One X+ Toolkit and it failed. From this point, I may have made some stupid things but here's what I did:
I forgot to clean cache and dalvik cache and since I couldn't flash new kernel I decided to go back to the previous ROM 10.1.3 and after I did it (without wiping data) it rebooted and acted weirdly so I went back to recovery and cleaned cache, dalvik and did a SD card format(!) Reason I did it was cause it didn't recognize anything on SD card when connected to PC via USB, but DID recognize everything in CWM recovery under the Flash new zip - menu. After that, I got lost. One more thing I also forgot - Google apps. I did not flash the zip and now it was deleted from SD along with ROM.zip and other stuff. I thought of bringing it back to SD, but... all I'm getting is this( image one) its emty and when I open properties it shows this (image two). When I try to copy anything on it it doesn't allow me. In phone's file manager I can access internal memory (system, sys, acct, data, rfs, root...) but inside storage-folder is only folder-emulated. No sdcard0, sdcard, legacy and that kind of stuff and if I try to crate them they disappear after reboot. Long story-short, now I can't do ANYTHING! Cant copy stuff to SD, can't flash kernels and ROMs, can't install RUU (i tried that one too-no results, and yes, I did re lock the bootloader), cant't swap recovery, can't use my phone for anything except for calling, texting and searching in the browser (but cant download anything). Another bummer is that I can't access Gapps.
So, to sum up: no way of using SD with phone or PC. I hope there is a way for using my storage again but I can't think of any.
PLEASE help if anyone knows the answer. I'll appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Any other info, just ask.
hey man i know this is a very old post but i have the exact same problem, did you find solution to this problem ?
Hello my fella Developers.
lets do this again. i have the threat all typed up with details and closed it by an accident.
anyways
I have htc one max 8060-t6dug Chinese variant without OS. HTC-1
I had issues with this one, it came with bloatware and lots of it. some of it is pornographic. (got kids who play with my phone)
i decided to root, got the TWRP Recovery. flashed with latest SuperSU. got titanium pro (paid) to get rid of unwanted bloatware. i guess i missed out on something. as soon as i connect with wifi. it starts to download apps. and formatting doesnt help. so i thought maybe repeat the process. BUT in recovery i accidentally wiped system.
i have been through xda developers forums completely found some roms but dead links.
went though several other sites without any luck.
went though Chinese forums (Baidu i think) found some firmwares but TWRP gives me error trying to flash it.
i have tried to flash these with adb command, but mostly get remote not allowed error or space not allocated error.
came back to xda forums and found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...m-ruu-htc-one-max-809d-t6dwg-sense-5-t3006498
i know this is for t6dwg variant.
t6dwg and t6dug are both Chinese variants and dual sim. i have tried all roms listed on this thread. TWRP Flashed it fine but now when it boots up and gets to lock screen, when i unlock it it show HTC white screen and restarts after a min or so.
I went to the store and purchased another htc one max, same variant. HTC-2
i thought maybe make a nandroid back up and flash it to HTC-1
i repeated the steps and got HTC-2 rooted, latest TWRP, and made the back up. but i am unable to flash it into HTC-1
HTC-1 rooted with latest SuperSu, latest TWRP recovery, unlocked boothloader, s-off, cid-11111111
issues, NO OS!
http://picpaste.com/pics/htc1-l8ImCwQL.1462326306.jpg
HTC-2 rooted with latest SuperSu, latest TWRP recovery, unlocked boothloader, s-off, cid-11111111, boots perfect,
issues, bloatware
http://picpaste.com/pics/htc2-BrCDb5Tw.1462326402.jpg
lets not forget its been about a month since i am trying to figure this out without disturbing developers and wasting their time. this is my last resort
any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Anyone out there to my rescue?
@waqas9240 So you made the backup with TWRP? Why not backup to an sdcard one the working one. Place the sdcard in the non-working one and do a restore.

@Flyhalf205! I know i can always count on you for this. yes i used TWRP to make the backup from the working htc and stored it on SD card. and pushed SD card on the non-working Htc but it doesnt recognize it in restore mood in TWRP. i can see the file in Install method that if it has been compressed, but it doesnt let me flash it.

Now if I remember correctly inside the TWRP folder will be another folder. The folder name could be the the serial. You'll have to get onto a computer and verify that the backup is in the correct folder inside the TWRP folder.
A good way to verify. On the non-working device, do a backup on just the boot to the sdcard. Then see if you can plug both devices into the computer at the same time to see the directory layout. Then you can copy the backup into the right folders.
Once you bring up TWRP on the non-working device. You should be able to select and swipe to restore perfectly.

thats what i thought at first. i confirmed the path on both phones. i even got to push the back up in the non working htc to restore from the root as it was located in the working htc max. still does the samething. the second folder after TWRP is serial number folder. i even renamed the serial number to the non working htc ( i dont know if that would have made a difference or not) but still running the same issue. i dont have both phones on me right now. they are at home. let me finish work and will try it again as you explained.
meanwhile if you can figure out something else that would be great bro!
Thanks
so i was snooping around my phones priv-apps folder looking at all the code just cuz im trying to learn more about all of this and it all of a sudden restarted after attempting to open a file called test mode. ( I know, very stupid of me). any ways ive tried things to fix like wipe the dalvik cache etc etc no luck. Ive know created a new twrp recovery image and im wondering can i restore it in a way where i dont load one of the partitions that is causing the soft brick?? also im on a rooted stock image and have xposed installed as well as i had made a twrp recovery file inside the GUI of twrp in the app it self. Can i flash that? IE flash the file with out the boot partition selected???
PLEASE HELP
What's the problem at all? An annoying weird black square with writings on it?
Is it rooted?
Then simply open /efs/factoryapp/factorymode in a text editor (EFS Explorer, Root Explorer, etc.) and change "ON" to "OFF" (without quotes). Then reboot.
The problem is caused by EFS partition, so you may restore only this part of your backup.
