Fixing permissions problem - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I've noticed after a while on any ROM that when I go into recovery and fix permissions it says failed. Before I would lose my ROM but not this time. I'm afraid to try again and I'm using twrp. Can someone help me please?

generally i only FIX Permissions when flashing a new ROM clean flash or changing something to system or a MOD of some sort ive never really had that problem that's strange ?? and you have the latest TWRP? have you tried going into TWRP > settings > restore defaults ???

Because I lost vibration and usually that fixes it. But no I've never tried restore defaults. Is that what you are supposed to do? Oh and it is the latest twrp.

If read it a few times here and there around xda if it does not work when u restore the defaults try using ROM manager and fix permissions from within the app :thumbup:

Then to me it sounds like you flashed so many ROMs and a few dirty flashes might corrupt the way twrp fixed the permission I would recommend a clean flash and then if that all fails then just restore your back up sucks your are having this problems and all phones are not the same which sucks lol

Flashing with TWRP issues

So I've been reading that people are having issues with flashing a ROM using TWRP.
They factory reset, wipe etc and when they go to flash...nothing there to flash? How can this be avoided?
I have ZV8 rooted and unlocked with free gee from the app store.
As I understand they factory reset, wipe dalvik, cache...but where are they saving the ROM to flash it? But at the same time I've seen others succeed. I'm not trying to screw up here and being patient....

I don't have issues flashing twrp. I usually download the zip on my laptop and then connect my phone via USB storage to transfer the zip. Then I go to recovery and find /data/media and its there.

Ya that's where it ended up when I dumped the zip from laptop to phone. If u did what I did it should be there unless u saved it some place else.

Factory wipe will only delete apps and settings. Any pics or video taken should still be there and stuff u download.

Can't install ROMS the with aroma

So I'm having a weird issue. If a ROM is installed via aroma, my phone will either freeze during the aroma installation, or finish the install and never boot. This is after a full wipe every time.
Any ideas as to what might be going on?
Thanks

Make sure your using a ROM for u device depending if its a international or what not and also check to see if or recovery is up to date
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Like he said make sure the ROM is for I747 first... Also, try switching to TWRP because it has touchscreen control Aroma can use...
Yeah I'm using an att ROM. I'm also using twrp. So I'm not sure what the issue could be!

I found that i have to factory reset in twrp as the last step of my wipe in order to get aroma installers to actually run and not freeze up. Otherwise aroma will either not load or freeze up in the middle of choosing options. YMMV.

Make u have the most up to date twrp as well you may be on a older version that is not happy about it

Installing Linaro 10.2

I know this shouldn't necessarily be in this section but I've already PM'd someone and asked on the original thread for help and have gotten no response yet. I understand people may be busy though too. At any rate, can anyone give and exact instructions on how to flash this ROM? They're not in the ROMs OP so...yeah, I'm lost.

Flash exactly as u would any other ROM .... All the linaro means is it was built instead from googles build tools it was built with a different teams build tools ....

So, wipe cache, dalvik and flash. Flash gapps and wipe what?

I would do a factory reset in TWRP then go to advanced and wipe system. Flash ROM, flash gapps wipe cache and dalvik one last time the reboot.

Use same fresh install method listed in any of my rom threads... I'm not sure about restoring messages I never do it but system data is usually a no no if you have issues with titanium download super su update your binary with the recovery method then go into titanium preferences and click the back up folder location option and change it from sdcard0 to legacy it will ask you if you want to move your back ups say yes then restart titanium and world will be right again

I tried to flash it and it flashed fine. But then, my keyboard kept FCing and trebuchet did the same. Any fix? Or what was I doing wrong?

Did u factory reset in recovery at least twice ? Also it may not hurt to wipe everything twice EXCEPT INTERNAL STORAGE.... Then reinstall ROM and gapps

You need to be on a stock based ROM. Then settings>about phone>system updates. Then you can restore your backup you're gonna make before doing that.

Ty for responding. I must be doing something wrong. I have tried two different stock based ROMs and both would reboot over and over once loaded into the ROM.

Install TWRP 2.5.0.0. In TWRP, go to wipe, then factory reset. Then in advanced, choose all 4, /data, /system, /cache, / dalvic, then install your ROM.
