[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
I bought a Samsung 16gb microsd for my evo. Its weird everything seems to work in it , I can write too it and even take stuff off no problem. The problem is when im in amon ra, i can do a nand backup but when i try to do a restore it says oops theres a problem , check error log. So i try to move log to sd card from ra and same thing oops there was a problem. I reformatted many times same thing on 2 evos. So i put in for a replacement got another one the exact same thing. Am I doing something wrong?

thanks for your time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
What version of amon_ra are you on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
Most current one 2.3
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Are you sure the backup isn't corrupted? Did you rename it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
Thats what i first thought, so i did a fresh backup , went fine then i did a restore and thats when its errors, Same thing when im trying to move the log file to the sd card. Ive even moved the backup to my stock 8gb and it worked fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
When you formatted it, did you try doing it as a fat32? And what did you use to format it? Did you try formatting it from recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
ya i formated it to fat32 a few time on both mac and windows, and also through recovery. Even tried a few different sd format utilities. its weird i know that it all seems to work fine on both cards except in recovery where its really needed.

Maybe it isn't the card. You try reflashing the recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
That was my next mode of attack, but I find it odd 1 card works fine, and not the other. If the fix doesn't work, as you suggested, I would have him reflash the recovery,
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
thanks im going to try this now ive never done adb commands so ill report back once i figure that out thanks for helping me out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
I had some problems with my patriot card as well. Turns out after I ran a repair in windows it corrected some errors. I then used patriots format utility. All is well now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well you navigate to your tools folder in your sdk folder, via command prompt, then issue the commands, always starting with adc remount .

Ah I see, some are just picky :p lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
adb.exe. is in the platform folder in the new sdk I believe. If he's running windows 7 he can just navigate to that folder and hold shift and right click the platform folder. Then select run command prompt here.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
yea thank you i just found that out, installing now
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
Another thought, maybe the SD card don't like the backup from the old card. Did you try a new backup on the new card then try to restore that?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
ya i thought that too , and yea i tried fresh . backedup fine just wont restore new or old , or allow me to move errorlog to sdcard.

* taking a while to install this sdk
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
So it may be the sdcard, and yea, it takes a few minutes to install.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
I'm not sure that fix will do it. Your card mounts and reads/writes no problems? Just will not restore a back up. Recovery seems fine since you said it works with the stock card. Maybe the partitions arent playing well together. Maybe try to format using the manufacturers format utility. You can also have windows check it for any errors. I would then start everything fresh. Reflash rom with freshly formatted SD card. Then try your backup and restore.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
ok , ill try that right now, after i try the manufacturers utility. and skip the adb part for now as that just finished installing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
That adb fix only takes seconds if you want to try it, unless your not comfortable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
I believe he said he didn't have exposure to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jietzer:
It worked , flashing a different rom. i was on stock rooted . i never thought it could be the rom being that i was in recovery. now it seems to all work . thanks alot for your guys help .

- ya ive never used adb , i will try it just for knowledge.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgoo99:
I did NOT paritition my gTablet after I installed CWM 0.8. My CM7-based ROMs have installed and worked just fine, including the new Market app. Do I need to partition?

The only real error I have had is the inability to transfer files (using Astro) between my internal 16 GB memory (/mnt/emmc/) and my installed 2GB sd card (/mnt/sdcard). Will partitioning help solve this?

TIA!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
I think partitioning is an important step and really should be a mandatory step at least for the first flash. It sets up your memory structure in the same architecture that the roms and recovery were built in. Its quick, painless and can solve many issues before they even start. Its best done right when you first start flashing as it destroys all data on the tablet, so anything you want to save needs to be backed up on a PC first.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmr405o:
I agree with Mantara. I think it reduces the chances of corrupting the tablet's data. Also, repartitioning is a bigger pain if you decide to do it later when you have a like a ton of files in your internal memory and have to back it up because repartitioning reformats the internal sd card.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
McGoo,

I don't disagree with Mantara that prevention might be good. You'll have to make that call.

I look at re-partitioning from the recovery perpective -- it simply hinges on the fact

that I have noticed what I believe is a correlation between Boot Loops and the need

to re-partition. Re-partitioning (and the associate wipes/etc.) seems to fix the boot

loops most of the time.

If your tablet is working fine, I go with the old computer quote "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!"

*********

Your other question -- I don't have a firm answer. The Android file system and the

USB stuff on the tablet -- to me operate in a strange. Kind of an OS with an arm or

two tied behind it's back. I know that's not an answer, so I'll quit.

Rev
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcgoo99:
that's the approach i'll take for now. when time comes for officially official CM7 tablet releases, i'll reformat then. until then i'll just enjoy things as they are. thanks for the feedback, all.

Clockwork v3.0.0.6 (using this method http://forum.xda-dev...ad.php?t=944681 )

Okay so with that for reference, I'd like to find out why I can't flash CM7 without the blue Andy bootloop. I understand that a fresh install takes time to load, I gave it 30mins before a battery pull, I then returned the battery, hit the top power button and let that sit for another 20. Before I flashed the ROM (through recovery) I made the following wipes in this order; wipe data/factory reset and then wipe cache partition. I've flashed other ROMs that have flashed without issue (Ice Glacier 1.1.6 themed and Royal MIUI) but, lets face it CM owns. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading this.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
No, Sense owns. :D

With that out of the way, the only thing I can think of is a corrupt download. Try re-downloading the zip to your PC and copying it to your SD. My other thought was a bad recovery, but since you've successfully flashed other ROMs, that doesn't seem likely.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
you didn't wipe dalvik in advanced, do that and bootloop will stop...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] option94:
Little known fact, if you wipe data, you already wiped dalvik.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicgraner:
Mmmhmm, the only thing it could be is bad download or some other mysterious gremlin lol
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darinmc:
Well then I retract my statement...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHSdrone:
when you say bad or corrupted download I assume your talking about the recovery. I thought the same as well, Ive tried both versions of what was posted as the correct, best, and or easiest method of clockworkmod recovery. Im not sure if both versions were in fact the same recovery.img but they both worked for the roms Ive flashed except for cm (nightly 29, cm7-rc2, rc3,and rc4). The fact tjat I cant get this to work, only makes me want it more.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
No, I mean the CM7 download. The actual ZIP file that you flash.

As far as recovery versions, only 3.0.0.5 and 3.0.0.6 can flash CM7.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHSdrone:
Ive tried flashing several different versions of cm7, starting with rc-2 through rom manager. When that gave me my first boot loop I went back to the method I was more familiar with. With trying the different versions I don't see how they were all currupt or broken downloads. I haven't tried any of the cm froyo roms yet.

As far as my earlier statement of "cm owns" I mean no disrespect of any of the other rom developers (including those that did work properly the first time). Ive just came from the G1 and cm is the only rom I ran. Sense may be the best way to go, it's not something Ive given much consideration or time.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medic Pro:
I have had the same issue except mine seems to be all 2.3 (Gingerbread) based roms, they all go to bootloop. I have no problem however flashing any of the 2.2 based roms. I also have cwm 3.0.0.6
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave5777:
I had the same issue everytime with different nightly releases. After wiping everything and formatting boot and system still would do it. I found if you wipe then install cm7 only the phone boots fine then reboot setup wifi if your using it the go back into recovery install gapps and it works fine.

Ok so was able to get mine to Boot completely Finally!!! I am somewhat of anoob so sorry if it seems confusing.

1.From recovery wipe data/ factory

2. Wipe cache

3.Advanced > wipe dalvik

4.Mounts>format boot

5.Mounts>format system

6.Advanced> partion SD card (I believe I used 256) No swap partition(dont know if it matters)

7.Mount USB and transfer cm7 and Gapps

8.Flashed cm7 only not apps.

9.Reboot phone (should boot all the way up)

10.Go back to recovery and flash Gapps

11.Reboot phone

My phone booted up very quickly. I hope this helps anyone else out there with the same issue

I finally got my VPN set up how I want it and now I am running into problems using the PnP apps out there. I am using mediatomb on my storage server, which is a basic uPnP server. Skifta is able to browse it and see content, but when I try and play something, it launches rock player and hangs and I have to force kill both apps.

upnplay doesn't find the mediatomb one, but it does find a upnp server I made by using windows media play on a windows box on the network. However, when I browse down to a folder containing the content, it just says "invalid action". Many times it will simply not find any upnp servers and there doesn't seem to be a way to force a scan.

What are people using to play videos over upnp? Ideally I would use rock player as these are typically divx encoded avis.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] padanfain:
Hm, upnp it seems to work OK when I am local, is rock player really that sensitive to latency?

[Android Software Development] maxppp:
Hi all.

Im a c# / windows developer by profession, but work have just donated an unused mac pro for me to try my hand at some android development.

It runs both os x and windows as it's intel based, so before I get started I was wondering if there was a preferred or easier platform to develop android apps on (i.e. is the IDE better on one or the other (eclipse on both I assume), faster compile times, better driver support etc etc) on or are they all much of the same?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] SwiftLegend:
I have zero programming experience, but I would say Windows, as it isn't as limited as OSX is. Also, you may want to boot up Ubuntu or another Linux distro on it if you are coding. Their pretty lightweight, and most programs use them.
[Android Software Development] Rootstonian:
Well, I have used PC's since DOS 2.1 and Windows 3.x

Finally got a Mac Book Pro about 6 months ago. I can barely stand going back to a Windows PC.

In my opinion, the user interface is more elegant, the OS is more stable and it's just plain fun to use.

You can always run a Windows VM on your Mac too.

I just don't know what your choices are on a Mac for an IDE to use with C#. I use Intellij Idea and Eclipse for my Android development with the edge going to Intellij since Eclipse starting being nasty with me! LOL

You also have Xcode on the Mac for Mac OS development (and you can code for iPhone, iPad, iTouch etc.).

I'm exclusively Mac now and for $350, I got an Asus Eee PC for any windows development I might need. Not the fastest, but cheap and portable. I also use Dropbox to sync my Mac Android programs so I can develop on the Asus too if I go mobile. Works great for me :)
[Android Software Development] alostpacket:
I hate Xcode with a passion heh.

Anyways this is very coke vs pepsi.

Windows, Mac, or Linux are all fine for Android dev. Seeing as most Android dev work is done in Eclipse the choice you make for OS is a matter of preference.
[Android Software Development] Lakers16:
They are pretty much the same for this case. Devices will connect without needing drivers in OS X.
[Android Software Development] ConstantineXVI:
Neither has a noticeable advantage re: Android dev(ancient office proverb: "Eclipse is equally broken everywhere"). Since you're already a Windows guy, best to stick with what you know. Our shop uses Macs, main reason being most of us are Unix geeks and don't want to spend an hour setting up Ubuntu every time we buy a new system (and we can yell at Apple if it breaks).
[Android Software Development] CPCookieMan:
I don't know about apps but mac is great for rom development.
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
- Yeah, I was a bit surprised at that, it was a nice touch, especially since I had to install the drivers in Windows like 4x in less than 3mo when it decided to stop recognizing my droid.

VM's can be iffy, especially when dealing with USB devices.

Xcode is very nice, one of the best C/C++ IDE's I've used.

You're not going to find that much stuff on C# dev for OS X, as C# is a Win only thing. Sure, the API has been duped and other implementations have been made, but it's a Windows thing. Just like you won't find much stuff on objective-C in Windows.

I think your zero programming experience lends itself well to your opinion :-P.

Windows is actually one of the worst environments to dev in, if you want C/C++ dev, visual studio is your only option (and it kinda blows), that or GCC via mingW or Cygwin, but both of those are UNIX-based layers.

For android it doesn't really matter because Eclipse will run the same in OS X, Windows, or Linux.

What makes OS X much better for general dev over Windows is that it's BSD based at the core. Any UNIX fork or derivative lends itself very well to development, development was based around UNIX, Windows is a rather new thing. Only reason people dev for it is because it's a monopoly and you basically have to for consumer software.

Eclipse is pretty much your best bet, it uses the native Java compiler, so you're not going to get any faster compile times. As for drivers, OS X won't need them, Windows will, but that's just a simple double click >> next kind of deal. So pick your poison, as Eclipse was written in Java it runs the same on any platform (in theory). The OS X version is slightly different since Apple doesn't use Sun/Oracle Java, but rather they rolled their own Java.

In the end, it's all Eclipse, I've dev'ed for android on both Win7 and OS X 10.6 (latest OS's for both), I see no issues with either.

XCode is an EXTREMELY powerful IDE with amazing integration capabilities...up until 4.0...In 4.0 they decided anybody that's using XCode OBVIOUSLY wants to only develop for their iPlatform (not like anybody develops for OS X, or GP programming, or anything). So save yourself the $5 on XCode 4.0 and get the free 3.X (think it's 3.6). It's much more user friendly. Once you get to know it and use it it becomes quite epic, I can promise you. I jump editors and IDE's like it's my job, so I'm very critical of them, and I've had lots of experience with very many.

Yeah, since android dev is pretty centric (even though they say it isn't) around eclipse, and eclipse is Java (ie. cross-platform), it's definitely a case of picking your poison, it's the same thing regardless of the direction you choose.

Agreed 100%.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
For me Xcode 4 was a relief. I'm forced to use Xcode, because of iOS development and man... I really hate Xcode 3. For me Xcode 4 is still something like IDE from early years of this millennium, but it's much better than Xcode 3. It has tabs, better (but still poor) syntax completion, much cleaner templates and more. Developing in Xcode 4 is reasonably comfortable.
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
Well that's the thing. XCode 4 seems very aimed at iOS dev, where 3.X supported iOS dev, amongst OS X dev, amongst just, generally algorithmic C/C++ programming dev. I haven't personally used XCode 4, so I can't determine how much better or worse they made it, but I've heard from multiple sources it blows.

I'm against their philosophy of making people pay $5 for this one, though, that's retarded, all the past ones have been free. There's still a OS X software development community...don't quite they think they recognize that..

EDIT:

I haven't used it in like 4 or 6 months (not often I'm dev'ing on my MBP), so I can't comment much about the suggestions/auto-complete, etc., though I'm sure it's tweakable.
[Android Software Development] Brut.all:
I think OS X and iOS developers don't have to pay for Xcode 4 - it's free for them.
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
No, it's only free if you're part of the iOS development program, for which you have to pay the $99 / yr. You can develop for free for OS X, and to get XCode in the past you need to at least be part of the OS X developer program, but membership is free.

They still have that membership, for people who want to develop for OS X, that's how you stay up to date with XCode and other OS X development tools. Though the free version isn't enough for XCode 4.0.

So basically what you have is:

- Free membership for OS X development (in the past gave access to XCode and other development tools)

- iOS membership to post apps to app store, $99/yr.

The former used to get every version of XCode for free, membership is free. They still offer XCode 3.X on the site for them. They (or anybody else) will have to pay $5 for XCode 4.0.

The latter gets XCode 4.0 for free - it's retarded.

-----

In short, they tailored XCode 4.0 to iOS devs, and basically said "we don't give a ****" about standard OS X devs. I doubt they're going to continue working on 3.X for regular OS X developers, they're probably only going to work on XCode 4.0+, therefore you must pay to stay up to date now. It's realistically complete bull****.
[Android Software Development] demoneyes905:
More related toward Unix/Linux, the better

I would seriously recommend OS X only because it is Unix based. When working, the environment will be very close to Linux as opposed to Windows which is not even close.

This would definitely help when making custom roms or kernels as the compilation processes, techniques, and scripts outlined on most xda forum posts are linux based.

Of course, if you are simply creating android apps, then it doesnt matter which one you pick.

For me, the more resemblance to Linux, the better :)

Yup, I love linux :p
