Dedicated TWRP thread? - T-Mobile LG G3

I've looked all around and can't seem to find a thread for TWRP on the D851. Does anyone know if there is one?
I'm having a problem with the contents of my backups on the SD card just disappearing.

Having the same issue.

Good to know I'm not crazy. It's weird, the file structure is still there. I've even backed up, rebooted, verified everything and then suddenly gone. I might have 5 backups and randomly 2 or 3 get hit. Is there a way to report stuff to the twrp guys directly?

You can try their app TWRP manager. They should have some contact us in there maybe. I haven't had time to check.

I would suspect the ext SD card. I've been on twrp and never had issues with backup files on my SD card... Restored countless times as I try new roms

Thanks, I did format mine to fat32 and it seemed to fix it.

[Q] Wrong time/date for nandroid backups in CWM?

Hi,
I installed CWM on my Rogers S3 using the ODIN method that doesn't trip the counter, and everything is going great, except for my nandroid backups all having the wrong date/time (the year shows as 1970). Does anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks!
the only fix is to flash a new cwm. Not I.would STRONGLY suggest against it. I did that and I lost my imei. So I had to get a new phone. Wait

Oh damn, that sucks. :\ Well it's not a huge issue, I can deal with it for now. Thanks for the info!
I know on my epic if I take out the battery and boot straight into cwm to do a backup it would always show the wrong date.

Currently, this is a known issue... I would also stay away from 5.8.4.9...you lose sd card function. V. 7 works ok for now other than the date issues.

Format your card as fat 32

I did that. CWM still not seeing the ext SD for backups or installing ZIP. However if you go into mounts and storage you can mount or unmount
either the sd or ext sd and you can format both. This is very odd. any idea. My phone is on AT&T, not that should matter.
I have CWM and it can see my exSD card fine... It does show the wrong date for the backup though... Question: Will the wrong time/date mess up the ability to restore? Has anyone ever tried to restore from the incorrectly-dated backup? Was it a :good: or did it result in :crying:?!

Have restored from a few nandroids without issue even though the date is wrong.
Can we just rename the folders to the correct date? Or will that screw something up?
Renaming folders is fine. Just don't rename any files inside.

I renamed the folder, and later had to restore using that folder, and it worked beautifully... that date, as it turns out, is just a label. You can change it to whatever date you want...

Actually if you do a backup using Rom manager the dates come out right

SD Card Reader No Longer Working?

My SD card reader seems to have stopped working today. When I reboot the phone, it states it is reading the SD card, and 1 second later it is finished. Now, I can't access any data on the SD card via system programs, music, gallery, movies, etc...
I can use ES Explorer and see and use contents on the SD card, so I don't think the SD card is corrupt. How can I check my SD card reader program and see if that is the problem? Does anyone have a fix for this issue?
Edit: I am using SleeperROM 3.0.0 and the only problem I am having is the SD card reader app isn't working on boot or after unmounting/mounting the SD card. I can access all files via PC or ES Explorer.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
Ok, does anyone know how to reinstall the system card reader "software" that seems to be malfunctioning? I can't even access Titanium Backup because the system won't recognize the SD card even though ES File Explorer and my PC (when USB connected) will!
Please help!

I haven't done anything like that to my knowledge. What is a .nomedia file?
Any way to reinstall the system SD card reader?

Guys, I've noticed this going on a lot lately across several devices and different platforms of Android.
I think something might be wrong, as in some type of infected app we're all using.
I can't think of any other correlation between the many people suddenly experiencing this all at once across several different devices, many different ROMs, and completely different versions of Android.
I had a .nomedia file magically appear on the root of my internal storage on my Nexus several times today, and even after removing it my media would not be recognized at all, as well as the file would return every so often.
Someone should look into this.
Sent from my AOSP Android 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I looked throughout the root directory and did not find any .media files.
Is there a way to "reinstall" the system SD Card reader app that autoruns when the phone reboots or the usb is disconnected after a file transfer?
Mine runs for only 1 second then states "media scan complete."
I am thinking my SD card reader app went bad today, if that is even a possibility. The CPU and ES Explorer recognize and play all files using non-system integrated apps (music, video, gallery being the system apps).
Also, all the apps installed to the SD Card are running fine.

Same here....... I downloaded paranoid android 1.9.9 and everything was fine until a reboot and all my pictures and music disappeared from my sd card...... Now mind you that I have flashed tons of roms .... But this has never happened to me ever...... The funny thing is that when I do a back up which I did minutes before my sd card went bad..... After my backup boots up I can see my pictures and music again.... But not for to long...... What can I do.........?

From https://twitter.com/clockworkmod
"Released a fix for ROM Manager where missing directories were causing the .nomedia file to be placed in the wrong directory. This was causing missing pictures from the gallery app. Sorry about that! Fixed in 5.0.1.4."
So even though CWM can read the SD card contents and install a zip file if needed it is a CWM problem? My CWM didn't update until today. I will reboot and see what happens.

I was having the same issue yesterday and installed a bunch of roms thinking it was CM9 but I looked and found that file strangely. Deleted after searching using my computer and POOF! all my stuff reappeared. Thanks!
Just an update. After the CWM update this morning and a reboot, the problem seems to be fixed now. The only other problem was that all my play lists on my music app were messed up. I had to restore data from Titanium Backup in order to get them to work properly. All good so far!

I'm sorry. It was Rom Manager that updated this morning, I believe. After that, a reboot, and everything worked well. I don't think it was CWM in itself. Crap, now I'm confused on what auto-updated this morning!

[Q] My Rom is Telling me I'm phone is almost full but...

When I look from the perspective my computer I can;t identify where I have fill all 15 GB from?
Could this be a possible error from the Rom its self or is it hidden files that wouldn't be seen by my computer that is causing these kinds of issues?
I have also tried switching to have most my app and information stored on the SD card but nothing seem to be working.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Do you take a lot of pictures and/or video? If you're using a TouchWiz-based ROM, then you can tell the camera app to use the external storage (SD card) instead of local storage.
You can move them over with any file manager app.
Otherwise, I'm not sure. It's possible you have some games installed that simply can't be moved to SD, but that's pretty rare now days.

Nope
I don't really take any pictures nor do I store anything on my phone really.
Here are the screenshots I took of my memory usage.
My SD card is more Full than the internal memory.
I had tried doing a factory reset which did lower the totally memory usage but still had the system memory issue.

Agreed but I don't know 100% what to do about it.
I have done a wipe but it seems like its always still full which doesn't make sense.
I looked into storage after I installed a 4.2 rom and it said I have 4.2GB from CWM but then I can't find the files to back that up when I look from the computer side.
Any Ideas?

Lost.dir is for a repair recovery thingy for Mac I think. So basically, you can delete it's content if it's not something you wish to recover.

[Q] Can't Flash ROMS

So whenever I try to flash a ROM I get the following error:
E: unable to open zip file
Erorr flashing zip '/external_sd/Infamous_S4_v2.5.zip'
Updating partition details
I've had the problem since yesterday and have searched different threads with the same error but none seem to have a solution.
I've read that it could be the file and I have since redownloaded the same ROM several times and downloaded different ROMs and all give the same error.
I've ODINed back to stock and re-rooted and reflashed the TWRP recovery.
I've formatted my SD card which was a HUGE pain but it was one of the suggested ideas in the other threads.
And I STILL get the same error. I have no idea what else to do. I was fine on Infamous s4 2.4. I wiped and flashed 2.5 and i lost my status bar. Someone suggested to download and reflash and that's when the problem started.
I got that error, as well
What I had to do was to download it on a computer and use a cable to transfer it to my phone.

Ive downloaded 3-4 times. I've also tried other ROMs. I tried to go back to Infamous 2.4 it wont flash. I flashed the google edition and it did work. The wicked rom also works. But v 2.5 and 2.4 of infamous don't flash.

Can you browse through the zips either through a file browser or on your computer? I kept getting that error with Faux kernel a while back. Thought I'd try to browse through the file on my computer and it would tell me it was an invalid file or something of that sort. I downloaded the same file maybe 8-10 times before I got one I could open; coincidentally enough, the one I could browse was the only one that would flash. What I'm saying, if you can't open the file, then it's a bad/corrupt file; regardless of whether you've downloaded it multiple times or not. If you CAN open it, then the problem would lie elsewhere.
Check your recovery and make sure its updated
I had same problem. It's a bad download. I got it 3 times from same rom and was determined to get it to work. Either download to computer or if using your phone make sure to download from different links. I couldn't navigate through the zip either. So maybe it was a bad upload or download.

I have been having the same problem ever since I downloaded and flashed the GE 4.3. I can't even restore my backups that I have been using just fine before I flashed GE. I have noticed however that the problem only exists with my backups on my external SD card. The one backup I have on my internal is the only one I can restore. I don't think its a bad download problem, only because it's causing my MD5's on my external to mismatch, when I never had that problem before GE. I downloaded Infamous 2.6 4 different times to my computer and none of them have worked. I really want this as I like the GE (not Jamison's Rom GE) but it just doesn't give me what I want.

If 4.3 changed external file handling again, you'd theoretically get that response again until you wiped both external and internal storage so it could be set up as 4.2 format again. Just backup both to your computer and move things back afterward.

Yeah, the backup problem is curious... not sure what could have gone wrong there, but the problems with downloading Infamous would most assuredly be a bad download. Would have nothing to do with the file system on the SD card if the zip can't even be opened on the computer to which it was downloaded.

Pop the card into your computer and format to FAT32. That should get it into working order.

I'm going to suggest the usual factory reset. I've had no issues with mine. Have you tried reading the card through a computer? Maybe something happen during the update that wiped it or messed up the format.

I would research to see if there is a safe way to reflash KK and wait for the OTA. Maybe you'll have better luck with that.

I think there are two problemz with the external SD card on this Lollipop build.
1. Permissions which I think the play store app fixes.
2. The format must be FAT32. I don't think I've seen a fix for this, unless you want to reformat your SD card.
My SD card did die as well. I'm not sure if it's related to this update or it was just it's time. Mine couldn't be read by anything. I have sent it in to Lexar for replacement.

Mine works fine. When I installed the 20b ROM, I did a complete wipe of everything in TWRP except external_SD. Installed the system, modem, boot and bootloader images and booted up.
Had issues with some apps like DoggCatcher being unable to write to external_SD despite that being the save data path. Ran the app I mentioned above and now all works fine.

It requires root though.
How big is that card, the only thing holding me back is the reports of 64G+ non FAT32 formatted cards not working... I use the phone as a FTP server or sorts and need larger file support than FAT32 has given me.

I am using 64GB card and it works as it's supposed to be.
Just tried using the app and had no luck.
Twrp also said that my sd card is not being read and it applied a patch but no luck either.
