I am pretty sure you can't dl those files to an external, only internal. Try moving other files to your external to free up some space on your internal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
Thats what I have recently learnt,

its misleading to have a name apps2sd & not able to move apps to external sd.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelhon:
Apps2sd, does mean moving an app to your external sd, just not the file for gameloft and other games requiring extra dl.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgsI9003:
I don't understand what you mean, does apps2sd move the apps which don't require extra dl to external sd?

I don't think so as I cant move them to external by any means it only moves to internal sd partition.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
I just got a new Xperia X10 (yay!) and am happily enjoying a mod on it. Now it's time to send back the old clunky Magic. Head office is going to use it as a spare device and I'd like to restore it to a stock ROM as I'd prefer not to have to answer questions about "what is this crazy things you've downloaded a virus and it's eating the intertubes etc etc.

I've looked around but I can't find much info about restoring it to stock. A few posts talk about either restoring original nandroid backup or flashing a new SPL? Unfortunately I really screwed up my original rooting and flashing processes, and wasn't able to get a nandroid backup of the stock rom, though I did end up getting it working.

And I'm not sure what SPL I need to flash, or other details. I really just want to run the factory reset from this page but it can't detect the phone.

Any advice?

It's a Magic from Rogers (Canada), running CM6.0 with the following information in fastboot:

SAPPHIRE PVT 32A ENG S-OFF H
HBOOT-1.33.2010 (SAPP50000)
CPLD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17

Thanks!

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
Thanks - I tried both of the Rogers RUU programs but both tell me the cannot detect the device. I've tried when it was on, in fastboot, and in recovery image.

Advice?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Don't flash anything....

First, post here the outcome of these commands:

fastboot getvar version-main
fastboot getvar cid

Then i will give you the right sappimg.zip to flash...

Again, don't flash anything.. you got eng spl and it a VERY good thing to have until you get the right image files..
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
version-main: 2.17.631.2

cid: ROGER001****"

Where **** is a bunch of non-ASCII characters, and I can't seem to copy anything in my console window :S
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Download my fastboot command from my signature.

Also do this:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

Then try one of the official RUU.

If it does not work, then i'll have a solution within 5 min...

But give it a try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
No luck with that. I assume I was supposed to run the RUU when the "RUU USB" text was displayed on the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Did you download the fastboot commander?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mumilover:
Download this image:

https://rapidshare.com/files/458228220/2.17.631.2.zip

Use the "Full zip" tab in fastboot commander.

Navigate to where you downloaded the above image and select it.

Then just flash and KEEP patient.

If you want, take a look at the "Actual tab" or look at your device..

Once this has finished, you should have STOCK rom, recovery, radio and spl.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
Yes sir, I have it open now... ("magic" version, correct?)

EDIT: Thanks... waiting for slow as hell Rapidshare now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
EDIT: double post
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
It worked now! Thanks, Sir!

Oh, man, it's all the way back to 1.5. It's like a punch of nostalgia.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
I cannot, however, use the RUU flashers from Rogers to update the OS. Not a big deal, actually, since it's now stock and they can worry about updating it, but it would be nice.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Just do *#*#checkin#*#* then go to the Update option in the settings menu. Should be able to just do the regular update process.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aaziz:
I... I don't know this *#*#checkin#*#* bit :P perhaps you could enlighten me?

EDIT: I assumed that this was a dialer type code... research verifies this. Now do I type that in with the keyboard, or use the phone dialpad to type those characters? (so 2 for a, b, or c, etc)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Yep you do it using the phones dialer. Just like calling 1800geico or something.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] dawiebe:
I've just followed the procedure outlined in this thread. I also can't update using RUU, and there's no 'Update' option in the settings menu in 1.5 (not even in the 'About Phone').

Is there a more recent image I could flash that would have OTA Update abilities?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] biniyamen:
Tried Fastboot Commander Method - Bricked

I tried the Fastboot Commander method as per mumilover's instructions. Everything worked fine until it was flashing the zip. The bootloader showed that some sections ie. /system didn't flash properly. Now the phone won't even turn on. No bootloader, no recovery, not even Rogers splash screen. Any advice?

I can't install apps from the market. I can't even install AppBrain or my phone force closes.

Here's what you should know:

Things I have tried:

clearing cache via recovery

clearing dalvik cache via recovery

clearing data in Market app via settings

clearing cache in Market app via settings

NOTHING WORKS.

Nothing downloads. In the event that I boot into recovery and I wipe everything, I can download something, but it just sits on "installing" forever

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelhon:
Maybe try a different rom/kernel configuration, or just reflash a wipe version of the current ones. Sometimes right after flashing a new rom I have the market hang a bit and it seems like it isn't doing anything then I leave it for a while and miraculously it has worked.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
Also try clearing the cache of Google Services Framework from the Settings > Applications > Manage Applications menu.

I think it might have something to do with the ext4/ext2 setup I have
[General Questions and Answers] serpentine009:
I am looking to get some sort of home NAS solution....either as a main file share or simply as a backup depot. Can anyone offer suggestions on setups? Hardware? etc...

I would like to use the NAS as the storage location for mostly Photos, Music, and Videos. I have read conflicting reviews about using a NAS drive as a file share vs. having it used as a backup only.

Just fishing at this point. Thanks.

Oh, I would also like to have my phone and my wife's backed up to this NAS too. Both SD card and Internal. Would love to have nightly NANDROIDs...is that even possible without doing it manually?

Using the CM7 rom now, but do not like the Gallery 3D and camera, did anybody try to use the original Gallery and Camera in CM7 ROM?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
are you talking about the Sense Camera? No you cannot. It's built into the sense framework.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] moonsea:
Thanks! Really a bad news...
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
Depends on which side of the coin you are on....
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Strapt:
so you said that the camera wouldnt work .. but what about the gallery? I love the sense gallery... could search friends facebook pictures from there too among other things .. great gallery.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] neidlinger:
Anything that requires the Sense frame work to work properly will not work on AOSP.

As much as i like the "sense camera" i refuse to use Sense just to get it. I ran Evil's HD ROM over the week end. Amazing ROM, but i will not put up with the bloat that Sense brings along.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] shekki:
I agree. As much as I may like one little thing out of the Sense framework. I am not going to put up with the rest of the stuff I don't like.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] vwest87:
Alot of people use QuickPic instead of the CM7 gallery, it's similar to the Sense gallery in most ways and runs WAYYYYY smoother than the 3d gallery

just search QuickPic in the market, it's a free app
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] coupetastic-droid:
I use quickpic also. Way better than the laggy 3d gallery.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel_lp:
Hi,

My DHD is only 2 months old, just recently it has started behaving oddly. When i plug in the usb to a computer the phone starts to open applications such as dialer and tries to phone people. Tried clean install of CM7 and CM6.2 and same thing happens. Tried on different computers, same thing. Tried different cable, same thing.

Anyone anys ideas if something that loads before the rom could be corrupted, before i restore it to stock rom/radio and take it for repair?

thing that is confusing me is that usb seems to be fine in fastboot, i can send and flash a radio, but from recovery it also selects options.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
If it was Windows PC, you would think a virus.

There are a few virus's out there for Android, maybe DL a free antivirus app (such as AVG or Lookout), update it and run a full scan (They will detect Superuser, but ignore this one). I don't think it's the problem, but worth a quick check.

What about a flashing a different kernel from CM7 or LeeDrOiD etc?

Edit: And what about a different custom non- CM7 ROM? If you try, don't forget a nan-backup & TB of app data etc.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hedayat7:
Agreed with UpInTheAir. It's the virus.

Just full wipe and install back rom. your phone can be use like normal
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colonel_lp:
yes i thought about a virus. AVG shows no virus, also scanning the sdcard with Clamxav an my mac shows no virus. Phone has not been plugged into a PC for a long time.

Since this is happening when in Recovery it would mean that a virus would have to be installed at a level pre ROM...

I will do some more testing, the only thing i can think so far is a hardware problem, where maybe a bad ground if interfering with the touchscreen operation which would account for fastboot being ok..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty Matt:
I can see that more is possible when you s-off but I need to know some things before I look at doing it:

Is it better to start from scratch: i.e unroot, re-root using unrevoked, THEN s-off my phone?

Will any AMOLED WWE RUU be good enough to unroot? (if its beter that i do)

For those of you reading this that have done it, which method do you reccomend? (Virtualbox, CD or whatever)

Thank you for any and all replies, I've already ruined one phone on my contract (i tried to OEM update after rooting stock rom :/) and i REEEEALLY don't wanna have to go thru that again. Honestly any and all tips other than answers to my questions are most welcome!

**Matty Matt**
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Was your phone on Orange FW when you got it? If so, you'll need a gold card to flash a non-Orange RUU. If you're OK with this, use this one:

http://www.multiupload.com/LEJCW182AH

I'd say do a nandroid backup of what you've got, go back to stock and reroot then S-OFF and then restore your backup.

As for doing the S-OFF, burn it to a CD and boot PC from the CD
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
1) You won't need to unroot, I S-OFF'd when I was using Oxygen RC1 and it was unaffected.

2) Any WWE RUU should suffice, but you won't need to unroot.

3)CD is by far, far, far the easiest method.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty Matt:
thanks for that, and thanks for the link! I believe there's also a TUT on theunlockr.com that I found with some tips too.

EDIT: thanks Kalavere so at the moment it's CD: 2 USB and Virtualbox: 0 LOL
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] status_six:
+1 for not unrooting. In fact have a read of this thread I posted when I was trying to s-off. Never did get to the bottom of it, but it seems something in rooting stock rom and creating a goldcard stopped me from doing it.

Once I flashed a custom rom it was fine!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=987739

Yes CD method for sure.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matty Matt:
Interesting, so by the looks of things it would save me hassle by not un-rooting! right well I think i'm gonna give this a bash this weekend/tonight depending when i have more time. Keep the advice/experiences coming guys!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's not the hassle, it's just I prefer to do things properly and I've never had any issues doing it from stock. As said, do a nandroid before you unroot and you'll be good to go back to the ROM you're currently using once you're all done
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
Here is a fool proof how-to guide from DicsoHero over a MoDaCo, he helped me S-OFF my Desire back in December, it might be of use to you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
go back to stock with a RUU.

i tried to S-OFF while running GingerVillain and it didnt work, i thought i bricked my phone since it went past -STEP 3 DONT PULL BATTERY OR YOU WILL BRICK THE DEVICE- and it stopped working so i pulled the battery

then went to stock and rooted and S-OFFed without any problems :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fragargon:
well as other replies, don't need to unroot But makes sure that the stock rooted rom you are running the process S-Off is using the folder /data of your system so it's advice not use data2sd or whatever 2sd... more there

I used the usb boot, takes 5 minutes only, rooted stock rom 2.29...

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghalalb:

Seriously, Microsoft has put more focus on developing on their competitors platforms than their own OS.

Yes Mango looks nice, but it's really bunch of features that plays catch-up not catch-on.

Android has all the apps I want, has more support and most important of all has Google search not this Bing crap.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
Bye.

Surely this thread has run it's course
[Windows Phone 7 General] ManicDVLN:
Thanks for the advice, but I rather have the Nexus S, unless there are rumors of another Google phone coming out soon.

The reason is I don't want the long delays from carriers blocking OS updates, I rather have fully supported phone directly from Google with no third party crapware layering on top.

I have a feeling Nexus S will still outperform all those dual core android phones simply on the basis of optimization from Google.

Even if there are new better phones coming out, I wouldn't expect any of them hitting Canada soon. It takes at least 4-6 months to even get a launch date.
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:

Still I would like to mention, the NS doesn't support 850 band, if you don't want to switch carrier.

The funny part of this thread is that we don't actually know many of the additional features coming in Mango. We know application developer facing features, not user facing features.

[Windows Phone 7 General] DatDereX1:
What do you expect? WP is only version 1. iPhone and Android were playing catch-up when they were first released too.

You shouldn't have gotten a WP if you didn't want to wait for it to be updated.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
You'll be back ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Funnily enough, updates take longer on average to hit Android phones than WP7 phones, measured from official announcement to actually hitting 50% or more devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nrfitchett4:
HMMM, the next google phone is out. Its called the LG G2X!!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Yep. And the review on The Register says it lags. Which is quite an achievement for a dual-core machine.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Doesn't seem to outperform anything really.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
If it does it's really a bummer. Looks like dual core stuff is not really optimized yet.

I honestly think this technology will be really working well next year after the work which has to be done about it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
The thing is, it still lacks GPU acceleration so it really doesn't matter how much CPU you throw at the thing, it will still lag (to some extent). This is likely a very big part of the reason Google has recently talked about stricter requirements for Android devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
In order to benefit from multiple cores, a lot of stuff should be coded differently. I seriously doubt that Android (or any other mobile OS for that matter) has the necessary miltithreaded code inside. For typical "apps" this is even more true. In theory, miltitasking may benefit from multiple cores, but whether this will become tangible next year, earlier or later remains to be seen.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
"lag" - the .11 seconds of "lag" while switching from email (syncing 4 accounts) to calendar (syncing 5 users) to pandora (still streaming in the background) to play stickdeath flash games in the browser.

would the forum be alight with "badass", "awesome", and "android killer" if. wp7 was released with a dual core hardware set tomorrow ? double standards fall fast I guess.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Smh.... that is not Google's phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Yes that's why I was not rushing to get dual core and got a single one.

Any dual core advantage will be really seen next year, we all agree.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
Say hi to half-day battery life.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Well that's actually not necessary.

Newer screen technologies and better app processing can make it.

Anway I don't see any bright smartphone future until they will make batteries 5 times stronger. No other choice.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Nexus S is the only Google-supported phones and since it's the latest Nexus series phone it gets updates before anything else - even other stock devices (where is gingerbread for the G2?).

So while the hardware isn't the best thing since sliced bread, it's certainly a good choice to go with the S over other devices.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
That makes no sense. Google needs to add hardware accelleration to Android. That has nothing to do with how strict the requirements are.

If the OS ends up running like **** on low spec devices, then hardware manufacturers will be forced to upgrade the hardware in those devices (that they are planning) for it to run decently. Yes, there are performance deficiencies they are used to shipping out, but a UI that freezes on home screen switches will be way too obvious for them to overlook.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The only smartphones you will get good battery life on are eSeries and Blackberries. WP7, WM, WebOS, iOS, and Android all have crappy battery life.

And please don't post a screenshot of your phone you use < 1 hour in a 24 hour period to tell us how great your STANDBY times are, like everyone else seems to do :P

These OSes multitask a lot of services in the background (even if they don't support 3rd party multi-tasking) and have tons of sensors, radio, FM tuner, hdpi displays... While all this hardware is improving in the phone, the actual phone batteries are hardly improving except for some rare situations (like the Atrix 4G). In addition to that, everyone is obsessed with the devices getting thinner and thinner, lighter and lighter, which further limits what they are able to put inside.

Until batteries get factorably larger (i.e. when an Atrix 4G is standard mill battery size), then I will upgrade from my Vibrant/HD7. Until then I don't plan to buy another smartphone.

Seems users are so content with this ****ty battery life that they have no issues shelling out endlessly for the next best thing. Does anyone not care that you have to have a charger basically everywhere (or a spare USB cable to put it in a computer) for these phones, when eSeries/Blackberry users can go 2-3 days between charges even if they use their phones pretty heavily?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
I don't understand the reluctance to updating a phone manually. on google devices it takes 2-3 minutes to root, 5 to download a zip, and another 5 to flash whatever is most current.

ota updates are ok, but generally they're very far behind latest/greatest.

on wp7 devices, its a similar process, with similar time involved. unlocking a phone is almost considered "unclean" or something here. I wouldn't let a ota software update influence my phone purchase personally.

you did mention "support" in your reply, so id like to point out there really is no support on any platform other than rtm'ing a device. there is no one to call that can fix it, and no one at a shop

either. (software)

I haven't seen an ota update that did -anything- of significant value for any os yet. it almost always requires a manual approach.

2cents
[Windows Phone 7 General] Scrtcwlvl:
As a Nexus One owner, I certainly wish you the best of luck with that. Took Google months to push out the 2.3 update to N1 owners, the 2.3 update that I ran on my phone before Christmas.

Getting full support from Google matters very little to a hack-happy XDA user. You'll get the latest roms much quicker from here than you will EVER from an OEM. Secondly, if you don't like "third party crapware layering on top" of the hideous stock android... well then I don't know what to tell you. Other than if you are happy with the stock android launcher, you will be happy with waiting for OEM updates anyway.
