I use Twrp and I have 2 back ups so far. One being the stock TW rom and another being my customized debloated TW rom. I went to create a back up and it failed due to lack of space. I have it set to back up to the 16gb SD card which has plenty of space but then I saw it was going to back up the data(okay that's fine) but it states theres 18635mb of data. Where is all that data!? And where can I remove whatever is taking up that much space. I'm assuming it's from my 2 backups but I can't seem to find it (due to I swear they are on the SD card already) so I'm confused to how it's trying to backup that much data . Thanks in advance!

Get away from twrp its garbage for this device. I've always loved twrp on other devices but not this one. My advice would be restore you stock stable ROM. Format your internal & external SD card. Flash cwm touch 6.2 or philz custom cwm . backup with cwm . then that should fix your issues. Make sure your on the stock ROM before deleting any files though.

I'm confused when you say format the internal and external SD. Wouldn't that delete everything off of both? Not sure if maybe I misunderstand what it means to format

TWRP. WORKS just fine. Use the 2.5.0.2 version cause the other versions do have many issues. Been using 2.5.0.2,since the very beginning, snd have had no issues what so ever. So I wouldn't call it garbage.

TWRP 2.5.0.2 is rock solid. Just avoid 2.6.0.0 and you'll be fine.

Maybe that was my problem then I used the latest that goo-im installs and it was 2.6 . Don't get it twisted like my post says I love twrp. Above and beyond any cwm or custom recovery its quick and does the job perfect. Does anyone have a flashable 2.5.0.2 handy?

Backup and restore works as you would expect it to work fast. Gonna try and see if the format data still makes data unmountable. As it did before . Gonna wait till I get home near PC with Odin first just in case .

Well back up and restore work awesome for me, so glad to have that team win screen go away after a couple seconds! Haven't formatted data once yet, I'm glad I haven't, all my old back ups are on my PC
Just got back up and running after formatting data and having to odin back shhheessshhh. Damn I wish they would get this running correctly. To do a clean wipe and install in my book is formatting data. Doing even with newest 2.6.1.0 bonks data partion. Thank god cwm touch is stable ( slow as molases to back up and restore) but stable.

if you read my last threads you will know i mashed my other note to pieces....
on my desire i would flash roms 3 each week without messing the phone up, so after messing up my note through formatting through cwm while on ics i am a little/lot scared about doing it again..
so i want a little help if you guys would be so kind :laugh:
i dont have the new phone with me right now, but this time i am going to learn how NOT to brake the phone before i start playing with it.
so could you please walk me through this, explain to me as you would explain to a child LOL
so as i understand it, i need to keep to gingerbread then root it, go into recovery and flash the rom from there? do i use the normal phone recovery to do this or do i have to install cwm?
i am a little worried about using cwm again tbh, or can i use mobile odin?
i want to know the easiest way, the most fool proof....
damn i was never this worried with my desire.
your probably thinking "if you are so scared then why bother" right? its just the phone is so damn laggy, even compared to my desire which was built by cave men
cheers for the help guys, asuming i get some ofcourse :fingers-crossed:
Start from a gingerbread rom, then fully root it and install clockworkmod, next boot into recovery(volume up+power+home button together). First flash paranoid android rom then flash gapps, lastly wipe data, cache partition and dalvik cache. Reboot and enjoy

Yes, you can flash from one of the supposedly known safe ics kernels to speed the process up BUT if you want to be 100% safe in flashing to any cm9, start with a gingerbread rom.

I also just received my note from samsung after bricking it with CWM. I am so afraid I might brick it again trying to install paranoid android since I have to wait nearly a month to have my phone back in case anything happen.
Just one question, as long as I'm on paranoid android, can I just format or factory reset my phone through settings or recovery or cwm safely? Thanks a lot.

If you want to install paranoid, its cm based which means no touchwizz apps will work on it as they need the touchwizz framework. That being said, s pen still works fine and there are plenty of alternatives to the s apps (papyrus, memo etc). Also I've read that one of the devs is working on getting the s apps onto cm9 somehow, but not sure who or how its going. Also the cm9 kernel included for the rom is safe from the superbrick bug as its has the cap wlerase command disabled.
PA has a slightly different installation to other roms. I would highly recommend first installing stock rootable gb, root it and install cwm. Once that's in place perform factory reset.
Then download paranoid and g apps and copy them to external SD card.
Then FROM CWM recovery, you flash pa first by "installing zip from SD card", then do the same for g apps straight afterwards.
If you have any fc's or issues, enter back into cwm recovery and wipe cache and dalvik.
Boom, ready to go for full on paranoia
Its a truly great rom, very customisable and as ics should be.

Thanks ST, so am I right in thinking if I go the cm route then I don't have to flash the kernel first. It will do it for me? So all I need to do is root it and get a safe kernel?
Is there a free mobile Odin app, I looked on the market but there is only the pro version...

The safe kernel is included in the pa rom, cm9 kernel. So long as you flash it from cwm in gb you're fine it installs it automatically.
Think mobile Odin is only a paid for app... well worth it though. Check the forum, chainfire usually releases free versions to xda community.

If you asked me. I like the stock firmware not cm9 paranoid. Because you will lose your S-Memo, S-Note and S-Planner and also your myfiles and also the MHL. All of this features are important for me. Paranoid is cool firmware but you will loose this apps...

Any help would be great I have never really broke a device before and kinda bummed
If you can get into cwm just try formatting your SD and then you'll have to flash a zip or ROM using cwm or odin

The good news is I just out in a brand new sd card and formatted it before I pulled this awesome stunt. So if I save the CM10 zip on my PC desktop I can just use Odin to flash it? Or do I need to save it to my micro sd and the CWM from my tablet boot screen?
So sorry just want to make sure I'm set when I get home
You need to save to your SD and then flash with cmw

You guys rock! First time ROMing this device due to my stupidity. Put CM10 on it last night and love it so far but I guess now on to see what else is out there too. Just heard so much about CM10 figured I would hit that one up first.

Not a good idea, what happens if something goes wrong and you need to reflash? Better keep it handy.
I always keep my current ROM, current kernel and stock kernel available to flash in case i run into issues caused by tweaking.
That is what nandroid backups are for. Delete em.

Nandroid backups aren't always reliable. If you don't want a rom on your phone then keeping it on your pc is a good idea.

That's when you power the phone off, download the ROM on PC and transfer it to a MicroSD card. Better to keep the .zip on the phone rather than carry a laptop around though. Lol.

I keep several ROMs and kernels on my sd card in case something goes haywire. Which has happened and I couldn't reflash the same ROM or my Nandroid, and could only flash a backup ROM I kept on my sd. I would have been screwed because I was using gps to get to a work site and wouldn't have known where to go. And couldn't have called anyone to find out since my phone wouldn't boot. From then on I have at least 2-3 ROMs and kernels etc.

No 1 Gigabyte is a typical backup size. If you start loading up with apps it can get much bigger.

I had this same thing happen to me over the weekend. I think what worked for me is doing a factory reset through twrp, then rebooted twrp to get the partition sizes to sync. I had all my data backed up to my sd card so I was able to restore the apps. I also did a full system wipe and flashed a Rom I had on my SD card. I hope one of those two things work. Let me know if it does.

Until yesterday i had no idea on how to install ROM's coming from an iPhone i am a total noob to flashing, safestrap and everything else in between.
I Iooked a a few videos on youtube... not related to Note 3, but s4 etc.. and it gave me the idea. Read on the Hyberdrive and Jelly Beans forum. Its not hard.

I just flashed the hyper drive rom.....and WOW. As soon as I get some money I will contribute!!!! Anyway after I flashed the rom I noticed after my screen booted up at the top in the status bar next to the 4G there's something that looks like a "eye" can anyone tell me what that is and will it remain there if so can I get rid of it? Thanks to all the bad as devs out there I'm so thankful for all that you people do!!! For all that it's worth I really really want to say THANK YOU!
It's called smart stay. It checks via the phone camera to see if you ate looking at the screen, and if you are it keeps the phone from going to sleep

Before I flash a rom like hyper drive first I create a rom slot next do I wipe data dalvik, then cache on the new rom slot?
Then flash the rom in the created rom slot. Just wanna make sure. Also when I'm charging my phone on hyper drive rom when I turn off my phone and turn it back on it goes back to stock rom and the S'S splash screen doesn't appear upon turning on, doesn't do that when I'm not charging the phone.
Also I used to have 32GB, of phone storage now I only have 1.89GB, just wondering how to fix the storage
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
There's no way to "fix" the storage. From what I have been told, the system reads it wrong and you only have that much storage for installing apps ( in your case, 1.89GB ). You still have access to the rest of your storage. You can still store pictures, songs, movies, data. Using ES File Explorer, you can see how much space you have left. I was able to successfully download over 3GB of movies on my internal storage despite it saying I had less than 2GB of space left.

Go to Hyperdrive Tweaks, Xposed, Framework Installer, Framework. Check to see if you can Install/Update. You should be in the green with matching numbers for active/bundled.
I suggest removing/editing your post about Blackmart Alpha. Using those kinds of apps are not allowed here and is frowned upon. Plus it's illegal.

Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Looks like you didn't install anything on your Stock slot. When you reboot your phone make sure you active the partition that you want that particular ROM in. So for stock, activate stock and install stock backup (you did make a backup right?) and then you can then activate Slot 1 for HD and then Slot 2 for Beans. I would wipe/factory reset the ROM Slots before installing anything on top so you have a clean install.
