Well, first day I got my tab i rooted and such.
Tried a rom (wich wiped everything obviously)
installed a couple of apps then made a backup with Titanium.
decided to go back to stock rom for the time being (wait for more bugless roms)
When i tried to restore my Backups, everything was gone.
question is, Does the backup just go in general internal storage, wich is not calculated as a SD card, so gets formated everytime we wipe??
Im used to backup and wipe, on my phone wich has internal and external SD, so no problems there.
Any input ?
If I understand right, there is no separate storage on the N10. I think /sdcard is basically just an emulated folder sitting on the data partition, so anything that wipes data, will wipe the sdcard. Might want to wait for someone else to give their input on this though.
As for backups, at the most I usually just backup app's (apk files) and put them in a folder on my computer, then just reinstall all of them with Android Commander.
hello i just installed optimus g3 1.3 and before installing i in twrp factory reset, wiped cache,d cache, system,data,. was i supposed to format as well?
the resaon i am asking is because all my old data is still on my the device but i cant access it. even the apps. if i open a file manager in the device section its just the new rom files but then theres a partition or sub section called sdcard and thats where all my only stuff is. how do i correct this? also if was am supposed to format wont that delete the roms zip file i have on my internal storage?
I flashed my i9500 with TWRP 2.8.1.0 using Odin and it wrote an undeletable backup onto my internal memory. To get rid of that, I backed up the "BACKUPS" folder and formatted the internal storage only for it now to cause the entire internal storage to be write protected to my android apps. I can copy and delete stuff to it through PC but my apps wont work, those that require to download pics and videos or make backups to the internal storage, web browsers can't download anything to the internal storage yet I now have over 7GB free space.
It's clear TWRP is write protecting the internal storage selectively (first it wrote protected the storage to both the phone and pc, now to the phone only). How should I sort this problem out?
I have also just tried using root explorer to change permissions to the internal storage but it doesn't work. It's failing. Titanium backup shows its own backup folder is unwrittable. It cannot be changed by Root explorer
I just tried fixing permissions in twrp but to no avail. I uninstalled Clean master only to try and re-install it and it won't install now, it gives a failed install error. Kingsoft office continually shows "stopped working" and fails to work completely. All this started with flashing Twrp. I can't view pics in whats app or send them, neither can I edit documents. Any help to rid of this issue will be gladly appreciated.
People please please avoid twrp at all costs!, i have now lost all my data and apps are all failing. I deerly deerly regret why i ever flashed twrp recover in the first place!
I seem to have solved the issue after a very grueling experience.
TWRP has its flaws and it is quite notable here. Here is how I have gotten around the issue:-
Immediately after I installed TWRP I made a system backup of the entire phone as of its state at the time.
I copied it to my pc and tried to delete the backup that TWRP had made. It was completely write protected, nothing could delete it.
I then decided to use TWRP to format my internal storage after backing it up. Then restore the data back which I did successfully.
Little did I know what had happened. TWRP had assigned the internal storage attributes that even Root explorer (paid) could not undo.
The internal storage had become unusable to the system and user apps.
Slowly my apps began to collapse one after the other failing. From frustration I tried to salvage the data the apps held at the time so that I can factory reset and restore but Titanium backup could not access its own folder. That's where all the frustration begun.
I later flashed CWM and accidentally formatted all my data instead of the data partition.. this was now hell.
One last try which was about 5 hours later I returned TWRP recovery, wiped the data partition and got hold of my prior backup with TWRP, restored it and am 9 hrs back from total loss of data. So the internal storage now has its initial attributes prior to the predicament.
Am actually back exactly to where all this mayhem began when I decided to delete the "BACKUPS" folder and there was absolutely nothing else that was wrong, which now I will attempt to delete hoping that I won't experience deja vu.
This is a problem worth reporting to TWRP developers and I don't know how
TWRP recovery Fix Permissions
I couldn't delete back ups from the internal storage at all. I couldn't even copy saved back ups from my pc to my Note 3. I went into TWRP recovery, under Advanced select Fix Permissions
Now I can delete folders in the TWRP main folder with a ES file explorer or on my PC via usb cable.
Never had any problems like this with TWRP on my S4+. For me the backups taken and its folders can be handled just fine, copied, deleted, moved etc. Must be som compatibility issue with your setup.
Hello everybody/anybody?
I have managed to wipe my phone with the intention of installing a zip file which I placed in the internal memory. However,I foolishly wiped my phone without checking I could access the zip file and it turns out that my internal memory is encrypted and I cannot see any files. So I can't access the Zip files to restore any ROMs. I have tried sideloading this: no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.1.zip, But it failed...
Any help gratefully received.

Solved: deleted everything inc vendor etc...
I recently came across this bug. I noticed it when I tried to play injustice 2.
I don't exactly know when this problem originated but for about 2 weeks I am using different updates (Latest changed version) of ViperOS by dineshthangavel47.
Once I restart the phone the obb folder turns into a file with no extension and size is 0kb. It happens after about 10 minutes.
Then I have to restart the phone again to be able to do anything.
First I thought it might be happening because of the format of data partition changed to f2fs from ext4. So I formatted everything back to ext4. I clean flashed the latest version of rom too..
I use magisk zip for rooting.
Has anyone else faced this bug?
Any kind of help is appreciated.

You mean first copy the "obb data" which you already have to your phone.
Then Download a little bit of that data from playstore so that it will create a "Android>Obb>gamefolder" folder path on its own.
Then delete that small data you downloaded earlier and move the obb gamefolder which you already have to that location.
If that is what you are saying then I tried this already but didn't work for me
Now I fast booted the stock miui and everything is working fine...
But I will try the new oreo soon as TeamMex give atleast a beta on which we can install gapps but till then I am tired of trying all these new roms.

No i was talking about obb file not folder.. mine new obb file was have diff num bt sm name then I changed old data file name to new 1 nd moved it to obb folder
Doesn't matter you have root or not
but For those who don't have rooted devices use this method until we get a fix .
you have to do this every time you boot.
