[General Questions and Answers] Bling_Diggity:
Problem solved. Apparently something happened that caused Clockworkmod to create my partition in Read-Only mode. Couldn't figure out how to change that to R/W, so I did a complete wipe of everything (including SD card), changed over to Amon Ra, repartioned using it, reloaded everything back on to the SD card, re-flashed CM7/gapps, then booted and reinstalled L2SD. Works perfectly now. Not sure why CWM created my partition in read-only mode...but Amon Ra didn't have that issue...so I guess I'll be sticking with it from now on.

i seem to be getting closer with this solution but in terminal emul i'm entering

#mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2

and i'm getting failed device or resource busy
[General Questions and Answers] doktornotor:
vfat? Obviously wrong, isn't it?

Getting a read-only mount probably means that the filesystem is corrupted (which would exactly match my experience regarding the partitioning/formatting capabilities of CWM... has nothing but trouble with that one).
[General Questions and Answers] blkwhk:
vfat because i used minitools to create a 2nd fat32 partition. the ext2,3,etc didn't work for me in link2sd
[General Questions and Answers] doktornotor:
Well, FAT32 is extremely bad choice. They did not work for you pretty much for the reason stated above - you are using a broken tool to partition/format them. Forget about CWM, simply do it on PC or use AmonRA.
[General Questions and Answers] blkwhk:
didn't use CWM, used minitools on PC

FYI

mount -t vfat -o rw,remount /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2

worked for me
[General Questions and Answers] doktornotor:
Never heard about minitools. Try something better next time. In case you wonder why FAT32 sucks then, first of all, it has no concept of permissions at all, so any process can write and delete the files there, and second, the filesystem gets corrupted all the time on unclean unmount.
[General Questions and Answers] Bling_Diggity:
I used minitools as well to create a FAT32, but still keep getting I/O mount-script-creation error when trying to load up link2sd.
[General Questions and Answers] doktornotor:
I will say it again - do NOT use the fricking FAT32.
[General Questions and Answers] franck2k5:

Well, i just had the same problem.

To solve it, i just rebooted my cellphone (cuz i'm a lazy boy who doesn't like code lines^^).

[General Questions and Answers] JaSauders:
Uppppppppp. SAME problem.

I also noticed my error says /data/sdext2, but my partition type if ext4. Should that be a red flag?
[General Questions and Answers] birdgofly:
I was getting an error specific to the dalvik-cache (/data/sdext2/dalvik-cache) claiming that it was read only. I used root explorer to try and change permissions for the folder, but root explorer was unable to (on a side note I WAS able to change permissions for the /data/sdext2 folder). I ended up using root explorer to edit the link2sd script..

turns out my script included the /dev/block/vold/179:2 line AS WELL AS the /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 line.. however both were showing "rw". I removed the /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 line and added mount -t vfat -o rw /dev/block/vold/179:2 /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache

works like a charm now =D

Solved ! Failure Link2SD package invalid

For friends who are having problems with the "Create Link" in Link2SD, here I will try to help resolve the problem, because some days I also mess around with "Failure Link2SD package invalid" on my phone. And here's how:

previously, ROM I use is miniROM with Stock Kernel, and Sandisk 8Gb MicroSD Class10

1. Create Partition as follows:

• FAT32 = 6.50 Gb *create as primary

• Ext2 = 600MB *create as primary

• Linux Swap = 200MB *create as primary

#Put MiniTool to create partitions, search on google for a tutorial

2. Link2SD *can use whatever version, I use the latest version V3.7.3

Download Link2SD only from Playstore, do not use version Link2SD Cracked / Mod, remember only from Playstore. If you are using a version of Crack / Mod then bound to fail in the Create Link in Link2SD, and it is based on my experience these days.

If you want Link2SD full version, try using Lucky Patcher. But I do not use it that way, because this is enough for me.

Sorry for my bad english, i used Google Translate to translate my language, (Indonesia to English) :silly:

I tried to downgrade LG P500 from 2.2.1 to 2.2 by following these steps.

Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory

Conect your device (do not turn on disk storage) and run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Has administrator).

Select Type : 3GQCT

Select PhoneMode : DIAG

In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded (V10G_00.kdz file)

Press Launch software update and wait (It will be 10 minutes or so). In your phone it will appear "Emergency mode". Wait until it reboots.

The phone never rebooted. When I manually try to reboot, it comes to Android screen and never gets past it. Has anyone faced this issue?

Thanks.

I just bought a sony ericsson aspen running on windows mobile 6.5.3. The problem arises whenever i received an sms. Windows mobile never recognizes the sender even if it is in my contacts. for example the sender would be +60xxxxxxxxx with area code although it is in my contact as 0xxxxxxxxx without the area code. If i change my contacts’ number with the area code, windows will not recognize the incoming call as it does not uses area code. how could i solve this problem?

I was running a backup through recovery & when it got to the part about backing SD-ext it said no SD-ext found & skip it. Is there suppose to be SD-ext or is

it something I do my self & if I do set it up will I lose any data?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
It's something you'd have to setup yourself. You'll have to partition your Micro SD Card w/ an ext3 partition and dl dta2sd or S2E, with the latter being preferred. Doing this causes your phone to treat the ext3 partition as internal storage space for apps and whatnot.

IMHO, if you're not gonna have a gillion apps installed, there's really no reason for doing this since the phone has a large amount of internal storage and partitioning your card reduces the effective size for storing pics/music.

can anyone tell me how to install 2.2.1 MiniCM-1.0.0-RC1 CM-6.1.3 for x8 rom and the fixes?

thanks in advance..=D

edit: i already root and install x recovery..what should i do next?
[XPERIA X8 General] JasoX:
There is instructions in the originalpost. But when you have downloaded the file from multiupload and unpacked it, copy the update.zip file to the root of the sdcard.

Reboot into Xrecovery and choose install update.zip from SD card. Select the update.zip and press the middle button on your phone.
[XPERIA X8 General] Dragg3r:
Well... this is how i installed mine.. i was a noob too.. lol a scared noob..

You do know how to get into xrecovery right? if yes then do the following

Download the Minicm file.. (update_2.zip) copy it to your SD card... DONT EXTRACT!

now on xrecovery

scroll down to Install Custom ZIP

choose from sd card

choose the file whatever u downloaded.. and hit the menu button.. let it install.. when done do a factory reset and the reboot phone..

your done..

click thanks!

Flash in Xrecovery, but use option: Install custom zip
[XPERIA X8 General] anmiman:
okk...thanks for the help..:)
[XPERIA X8 General] DarkThanos:
It is simple...

Download all the filles you need.

Xrecovery install files on your phone.

It install from default the update.zip on yours card root, but it has an option for custum files (it let you browse your card to chooze zip file)

So you have to install rom and then fixes...

Put all files on your card root (if rom zip and fixes zip have the same name, rename the fixes zip)

Ok, boot in xrecovery (restart phone and tap back key untill xrecovery come up, befor sony animation) , buck up first everything. (it has a buck up option, browse there and click buck up, navigate with volume keys, enter with home key, go back with back key)

Then click install update zip or install custum zip(...browse to file) , this will install the rom file.

After that reboot phone and if you manage to get on the rom then installation would be sussesful, it take some time to boot the first time. If your phone only reboot continius then boot on xrecovery and restore your back up.

Then if rom installed sussesfull, boot on xrecovery and install fixes (from costum zip or from update zip), reboot your phone and again if you manage to get on rom install was sussesful or if your phone reboot continius then restore buck up from xrecovery.

I am not responcible for what ever you do on your phone.

From this prosess your hardware sould not be harmed, so phone can be fixed what ever hapends.

Cool down and make your options, the worst case senario: you lose some data and make an update to your phone from pc suite.

I tried CM7 stable and rc4. No luck.

Any suggestions?

and i found something that did work for me with CM7 is the twlan.ini in the etc/wifi

i grab that from cm 6.1.1 stable and pushed in cm7 and WORKS PERFECT

i can connect to all wifi routers with out one problem.. so for me its safe to say it is rom issue

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoslink1:
it's in system/etc/wifi. i did it with winrar because my adb refuses to be fixed in cm7. if it works, ill mirror a CM7 rc4 with the old 6.1.1 file in it (with cm's permission of course.)

You need to download PC companion or Sony ericcson update service to your PC and follow the instructions on your screen. If you look in my guide there are links to both. As for a memory card they are cheap enough online, you need a micro sd and id recomend getting atleast 8gb.Hope this helps out.
