I was having trouble installing twrp from goo as after each download it stated the new twrp was installed. This was not the case. I usually had to manually do it with a zip if I could find one or fastboot. I realized with trying to install 2.6.3 this isn't goo's fault but the download path of 4.3. As with tibu the backup path needs to be changed to legacy from 0. The same is true with goo. The DL path needs to be changed to Storage/emulated/legacy/goomanager where legacy is originally listed as 0. Hopes this helps everyone. Worked perfect for me

im on the one rom manager installs 6.0.1.2, and its the at&t sg3. i don't usually like to use rom manager but i couldn't get the recovery to install using terminal commands.
You may wanna try team win recovery.
Uninstall ROM manager and install goo manager. Then you open it, hit menu key and install recovery script. Reboot in recovery and try

thanks ill give it a shot. i had had a problem with restores using that one but at least i could make a back up ok
So I just flashed PA2.99 and now my CWM shows all kinds of paths for when I select choose zip to flash. One of them is zero? When I tried to restore CWM could not find my backups. So once I flashed a different ROM I tried to restore a titanium back up and it could not find backups. I found the SD path that the system and apps are trying to use and moved the files there and now TB worked. So my question is how do I get all my storage/SD card paths correctly defined again.

This is due to the 4.2 update. A device can have multiple users, so it takes everything on the sdcard and puts it into folder 0, because that is the first user (you). Not sure how you can remedy the situation but I figured I'd at least try to explain what/why it happened.
Would that mean that all my apps need to update to the new paths or should I move all my data to the 0 folder?

Read the forum threads, people. There's a lot already on this.
If you've have read it first, you could avoid this.
I guess I could have tried to search it out before installing the ROM but I was unaware of the changes. If there is a way to get everything squared away that would be great.

Hi all!
I have a bunch of .zip files that I install via CWM after every ROM installed. Is there any way I can install them all at once?
Cwm actually is iphone of mobile world.
It is popular but doesn't does much.
Use twrp instead.
TWRP FTW

As the post above suggested use TWRP. It allows you to install numerous zips at once. Install by downloading goo manager from the app store. Click on the menu button within the app and choose install open recovery script.

as i said cwm is iphone of mobile world. not much features.
use twrp no hastle and it looks bit good too
http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/n7100
choose the method u wanna install with.
use .img to install directly from mobile odin.
use .zip for use with cwm
use .tar for odin
or simply use the toolkit but it has a previous version
latest is 2.3.3.1 , i think toolkit has 2.3.2.3
I was running CWM and decided to go back to TWRP for various reasons.
I used Goo Manager to flash the latest version. After flashing I went into recovery to make a backup of Wicked...then rebooted.
I then went to Rom Manager to see my backups....nothing there. Soooo I did another backup from Rom Manager.
After it rebooted I looked at my backups...still nothing.
So im back on CWM. Has anyone had this problem? Curious to know why its doing this.

ROM Manager is made by the same individual that made CWM. Makes sense they work together.
Not surprised ROM Manager can't see TWRP backups.

You just don't know how to use TWRP or CWM very well.
If you saw CWM and TWRP successfully backing up your rom then the problem
is that you don't know how to navigate in those recoveries and find the backups.
You need to get better acquainted with twrp and cwm, if you do you will find the backups.
Perhaps they are in a folder... (hint hint)..........
I am very familiar with both. There are NO backups in the TWRP folder. Also Rom Manager list your backups. Once again it shows no TWRP backups. And yes I had Rom Manager set up for TWRP

If you just want to find the nandroid backups, why not simply use Root Explorer, or another
file manager and find the backups, that way you will see exactly where they are located.
Once you find the backups, you can move or copy them to any other folder you like
and restore with CWM or TWRP.
If you cannot find the backups, it means that twrp and or cwm did not successfully create the backups.
Good luck!
I have Root Explorer. TWRP files are empty. Oh well im gonna hang in CWM till I figure this out. TY for ur help

Rom Manager does list TWRP backups. As long as its your current recovery.

"Team Win Recovery Project 2.x, or twrp2 for short, is a custom recovery built with ease of use and customization in mind. It’s a fully touch driven user interface – no more volume rocker or power buttons to mash. The GUI is also fully XML driven and completely theme-able. You can change just about every aspect of the look and feel."
What's new in 2.6.1.0:
~Initial SELinux support (only a few devices, need testers so come by IRC if your device doesn't have it and needs it)
~Initial support for f2fs file system formatting (Moto X)
~Update SuperSU install for 4.3 ROMs
~Fixed a permissions bug on files created during backup
~Fixed a bug that caused TWRP to not wait for compressed backups to finish causing 0 byte files and md5sums to not match
~Fixed decryption of encrypted data so that both TouchWiz and AOSP decryption are possible
~Ignore lost+found folder during backup and size calculations
~Various other minor bug fixes and tweaks
Download:
The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app:
Play Store Link
Direct Download
1) Install GooManager from the Play Store
2) Open GooManager and provide root permissions
3) Hit Menu (or the button with the 3 dots on your screen) and then Install OpenRecovery
OR:
You can find more information and download links on our website!
Install:
Please go to TeamWin's download page for our device here, and install via the following instructions (found here):
"Download the above file. Turn off your device. Turn on the device while holding volume down until the boot screen shows up. The device will now be in fastboot mode. Plug the device into your computer. If you have the right drivers installed you will be able to use fastboot. Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
Note that you will need to change the last part to match the name of the file that you just downloaded. You will also need adb and fastboot for your computer."
Bugs:
If you have found a bug, please consider posting it to our github issues log. It's pretty much impossible for us to keep up with the more than 40 threads that we have for the devices that we "directly" support. If you have a significant problem that cannot be answered in this thread, your best bet is to PM me directly, contact us via our website, or find us in our IRC channel below. If you see someone that's struggling, feel free to point it out to us. We need your help to help us keep track of all of our devices! Thanks!
Support:
Live support is available via #twrp on Freenode with your IRC client or just click this link.
Notes:
~GooManager did not show any updates from 2.6.0.0 (at least for me), and I haven't seen or had time to make a flashable zip yet, so it looks like installing the .img via fastboot is the only way to update (for now).
~One of the changes listed is an update to SuperSU for 4.3. I was really hoping this might fix the rebooting issue I and a few others have with 4.3 ROMs, but unfortunately it doesn't seem so (at least in my case).

Downloaded it. Tried to boot into recovery and it just did something, not how it usually boots into recovery. And then phone shut off. Turned it on and got message saying kernel crashed. Did I do something wrong? All i did was download the new recovery. Finally booted into recovery, not 2.6.10, and had to restore a previous ROM backup so that my phone can boot up

Do you mind testing it? Make a backup and then boot your rom and try to copy it to a pc with a usb connection. TWRP always give an error and wont copy because of the encryption added in.

Nevermind Spleef, you do enough as it is. I took the initiative and installed 2.6.3, made a backup and successfully copied it to my computer so we are good to go on the upgrade.
Did you try any old backups from previous twrp versions?
