I just bought a HP slate 8 pro business tablet several weeks ago. But now I cannot enter into the Android OS. I think the images in the internal storage has been corrupted. But fastboot works well. I downloaded the update.zip from HP website. However, the restore image cannot apply to me device because the release date of my device is later than restore image.
When I applied the update.zip, it failed with error message "can't install this package over newer build". Do you know how to work around this problem.
I also tried to use CWM to apply update.zip. I also failed with "can't format unknown volume /external_sd".
I think one solution is to share with me your CWM backup if you have the same type of device.
Thanks for you concerns.

Lineage OS 14.1 on Galaxy S2, working but can't get root ("unable to mount /data")
Hello,
first, I nearly read all tutorials and tried the whole day to get this working but I failed for the last step.
I want to install LineageOS 14.1 on my Galaxy S2 (GT-i9100) and get root.
What I have done so far:
1. Repartition because the partitions from stock samsung android 4.1.2. are to small. (attachment)
2. Flashed via Odin3 3.07
stock_kernel_twrp_1120-signed-for_Odin.tar
lineage-14.1-20170315-nightly-i9100-signed.zip
open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20170318.zip
Lineage OS ist starting and everything works great so far.
3. Stucking here:
UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.79-20161211114519.zip
addonsu-arm-signed.zip
I can't install SuperSU or addonsu because of the following error:
"unable to mount /data". This message appears in TWRP whenever I tried to format or mount "data".
Would be great if someone can give my little help.
Greetings ENFI
EDIT: After installing LineageOS my TWRP Recovery is replaced by an other Recovery. Flashing "stock_kernel_twrp_1120-signed-for_Odin.tar" again results in a bootloop.
Have you tried enabling root from developer options? If yes then where did you get the addon zip? The one from LOS thread works for me. If that doesn't help, you can switch to other N roms that have root enabled by default. RR is my personal favorite.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Labs
I enabled root in the developer options. But the available option was only "adb" and not "adb + apss".
Today I did all the steps again and now it is working. I have no clue what I did wrong yesterday.
There is only one thing I don't think it's right is the information about (free) memory space. I attached 2 screenshots.
The device has only 16GB, no external SD-Card is inserted. LineageOS now tells me there is ~15Gb "internal shared memory" and "7GB mobile memory". That can not be true. What's wrong? Partition problem?
Greetings!

One question ; is it possible to reboot the recovery via twrp reboot menu (or use an app like flashfire /flashify)? When I've tried the phone boots normally instead.

Unfortunately the reboot Recovery does not work from the specifics of the section, but in the future maybe will be fixed. If I don't find how to fix that button will be removed.

Yes, this TWRP version has decryption problem fixed. So you can acces internal memory(and make a full backup) without the need of doing a full whipe & format /DATA

I've installed and tried this TWRP in my Xperia X with MM. Very nice that it can access the data partition! I did not try to install any zip yet.
Some problems I've seen:
dmesg.log: no output
recovery.log: https://pastebin.com/EwbtuC9q
What is interesting in the output:
Code:
I:cmd: /sbin/exfat-fuse -o big_writes,max_read=131072,max_write=131072 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /external_sd
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE "sh": cannot locate symbol "__fwrite_chk" referenced by "/sbin/busybox"...
I:exfat-fuse failed to mount with result '', trying vfat
I:Unable to mount '/external_sd'
I:Actual block device: '/dev/block/mmcblk1p1', current file system: 'vfat'
Looks like something is not right with the busybox in the image. Maybe it is that what is causing the external sdcard (in my case in exfat filesystem) not being mounted?
Thanks

This problem is almost resolved, just need to test, but I don't have time to compile recovery. In the test version recovery without decryption, problem solved.

This issue failed to reproduce, and yet there is no solution. You the problem is not in Busybox, and something else.

For whatever reason I'm not able to boot into TWRP like I should be. I've used the poison version of TWRP before so I know what to do, and yet the phone will just boot normally despite holding volume down and power when off.
I know that TWRP is installed though as I am able to boot to it if I first boot to the bootloader using a USB cable but that is very cumbersome to do though.

Clearly for the image available at your dropbox there are some libraries dependency errors, not only for the 'busybox', but also for other binaries that are in /sbin.
I do not know why this issue is only happening on my device since you said you can't reproduce this error. If there is anything I can do to help solve this strange behavior, count on me. I am an advanced linux user, but not too familiar with android specifics.
On latest 333 ROM for UK so that fingerprint scanner works on my Xperia X F5121.
I also modified by kernel/boot so that TWRP doesn't brick (actually boot loop) the device like it did the first time. After using these awesome instructions flashing TWRP recovery from here didn't kill the device any longer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/root-root-stock-firmware-modern-sony-t3558904
I was able to take an early nandroid backup before a bunch of Titanium restores, etc. Now I get stuck at "Backing up data" step and it literally doesn't move to the next file. Attaching an image of where I get stuck. FYI, I do use password encryption on the backup and I did disable MD5 creation... still just stuck.
Next tests are to:
see if the stall is on the same exact file number
try no encryption
do a check disk (fsck) type of repair just in case I have corruption --- on my brand new device
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
UPDATED:
I only back up Boot, System & Data (the default)
On second attempt it stopped at file 18869 of 22065 --- so it does jump and not consistently stop at a certain file.
Dear all,
I finally got TWRP flashed onto my Le Max..
With TWRP, I backupped my phone and copied it to my PC.
I downloaded several roms to my Le Max, wich all went ok...
In the TWRP recovery menu, I choose Wipe All ( Dalvik, system, Cache, Data, Internal )...
But now, you guess, there is no OS on the phone...
When I enter TWRP recovey menu, advanced, sideload, I tried to copy a rom to the phone via " ADB SIDELOAD MAX.ZIP" but I get the message on the pc
loading : max.zip
* cannot read max.zip
Who can help? At the moment I dont have a USB stick....
if max.zip is your backup then do restore.
Max.zip is my rename of 23S Chinese...
My backup is " 2017-05-24--12-39-24_FIXNAOP5801607292S_release-keys"
It is more, how to get the files on my phone without a OTG USB stick...
Which commands and so...
ADB SIDELOAD xxxx.img works better, then xxxx.zip.
But I cant find any rom in .img format...

If you flash system off course you get No OS, because you deleted system partition.
And do not wipe Internal, phone has no sd card. When you flash internal you delete everything on the media partition which includes backup, music, photos, and the ROMs yo downloaded. When you flash a rom you only need to wipe cache, dalvik media and data. (System when u move from stock to custom, if you flash system and then try to flash another stock rom you will get error 7)
Now, I don't know what "max.zip" is. Try with other rom file or download cuoco92 fastboot version, then put your phone on fastboot mode, execute cuoco installation on PC and it will automatically flash the rom.
Edit: Install this driver https://drive.google.com/open?id=0By3XfnDvUFlAYXBZbFNhYTdCcjQ and then try to connect your phone to pc when in TWRP. It lets connect in MTP mode and it works for me

max.zip = 23s Chinese ROM
While booted into TWRP. Connect your phone via the charging cable to your computer and copy rom + GApps to the internal storage of your phone.
Now install in TWRP.
Everybody allready thank you!
I don't know HOW to copy the files to my phone...
It is in recovery TWRP mode not recognized in Explorer, and the ADB command's I have found on Google, like ADB SIDELOAD and ADB PUSH don't work...
Does someone know if the USB cable witch came with the package, is OTG ready?

Copy the ROM to the ADB & Fastboot file path, then connect your Le Max 2 with your pc.
Now go in TWRP to Advanced and click on "ADB Sideload", type in ADB "adb sideload nameofthefile.zip", this will flash your ROM.
(It will not work with EUI but with every other ROM)
Or you push it with ADB push: "adb push /filepath/nameofthefile.zip/sdcard" after this click on Install, and install ist. ? Hope this helps your, and sorry for my bad english.

What's the way to work when I want all of my 64gb ? ( If possible )

So when ( when all is fixed ) i am in the phone filemanager, I see total free space = 64gb -/- ROM = 60GB

just wanted to say that I sideloaded Aurel EUI Rom.
but not recommended as it took me 2 tries.
What is best ROM for the Le Max 2?
I had vendor rom, which I turned on in the Chinese.
Now I have the Cuoco rom with some apps...
And "the best" rom is for everybody different, but I am curious at the thougths of other people about it...
I continiou that in another forum
