[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] slash01:
hi, sorry. i'm a newbie and this is my 1st smartphone. just wanna ask a question. after i follow all the instruction and reboot my phone, my phone can't detect both internal and external sd card.how do i solve the prob?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
No you dont have to apply it again if you change the sdcard. unless you reflash the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
You can search for a post by Krrazzy for guide on firmware flashing in detail, it a sticky on the I9003 development forum. You have to use ODIN for flashing that means you need PC. Every time you flash with a firmware (same or different) it will wipe all installed applications including root access application Super user, unless you are flashing only PDA file and not doing factory reset. Yes you will need to apply the SD card swap MOD again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
i have the same case with him..

what should we do..?

instead flash of course, because download from hotfile for firmware is terrible..

takes a lot of time, and my connection couldn't make it..

please, help us..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] wayne78:
i still dun understand between dxkb2 and xxkb3? i understand is these 2 fw are difference region only....
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
ohhh... boy...

I dont know your level of expertise and understanding of android working. Have you used ADB earlier. Just download ZIP attachment and try following the guide. I want you to check if can access your sdcard through adb, if not able to see in phone.

for this do following

unzip the downloaded file on c: drive of PC.

Activate the debug option in phone------> Menu>settings>applications>development>USB debugging

Now connect your phone to PC through USB

Open CMD

browse to the folder in c drive where adb files are located

eg:

cd C:\sdmod

adb shell
su

provide root access from phone when it pops up.

cd sdcard

See what happens if it does not return error. then say

ls

just check where you placed your original vold.fstab

and replace the original one using my adb instructions in first post.

If you cant do this, You do not have any other option but to reflash the firmware.

Be cautious and read carefully all instructions before performing any activity to restore the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
and I already try to use ADB to recover it..

but, when I input "C:\sdswap>adb push C:\sdswap\Mod\vold.fstab /sdcard/external_SD", it says "failed to copy blabla to blabla" permission denied"...

so, what should I do..??

hiks..:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Did you check as I said? Does ADB see your sdcard?

as I said

adb shell

su

ls /sdcard

If you can see contents of sdcard, just switch off phone take out sdcard put it in card reader and transfer vold.fstab to sdcard and put back in the phone to restore using adb.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
when I input "su" then it answered "permission denied"..

what should I do..?

please..

help me..

I am a newbie about this..

I'm really thank you about your help..

>.<:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jesrani:
Hey I was having same problem when deodexing. First open SuperUser app on your phone and then give the su command in adb shell, it will ask for permission. Once you give super user permission it will work. But it won't ask if the app is not open. Try it out.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
okay, it work, thanks then..

but, what should I do next..?

anyway, sorry, my english is bad, i'm Indonesian..

:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ccid0724:
Is it work on i9000 or p1000?thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ccid0724:
It doesn't work on p1000...

can u alter it for p1000..

plz
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
When you do su, it asks for permission on your mobile (accept or decline), if you dnt accept, it gives permission denied.

Did you accept the permission fist time, if yes then open supeuser on phone and remove settings and retry
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
I already do that..

and it succeed, but, what should I do then..?

please, help me..?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Did you mount the system as read writable after su

You need to put command "mount -o remount rw /system"
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
then..?

after that..?

i'm so thankful for your help..

:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
Adb instructions are available on first page.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
Open command prompt

go to folder which contains adb

type below commands

adb shell

su

mount -o remount rw /system

cp /system/etc/vold.fstab /sdcard/external_sd/vold.fstab.orig (This takes backup of you oignal file)

cp /sdcard/external_SD/vold.fstab /system/etc (The file vold.fstab is on your external sdcard)

mount -o remount ro /system

reboot

Your device will reboot and extenal_sd card will be the sd card and sdcard will be the external_sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
hmmm..

I don't want to swap it..

i want to troubleshooting, because my sd card is not detected..

what should I do..?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
DO you mean internal sd card or external sd card?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] yyanzzz:
both of them...

So, when I open root explorer, sd card can't be opened

please, help me, I already do the troubleshoot @ the first page, but, when I use ADB way. it said, permission denied...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] falex007:
Did you try to reflash your phone? if no then try to do this. Also you can try to

1. read your vold.fstab and compare it with original, attached at the first post

to read the your own vold.fstab do:

C:\>cd sdswap
C:\sdswap>adb shell
$ cat /system/etc/vold.fstab

2. if they are different you can try to create your it typing from the console. To do this follow the instructions (remember that after entering command 'cat ...' you will not see the prompt '#', also at the end of entering the text for new vold.fstab you have to press Ctrl+D to say that you are finished typing the text):

C:\>cd sdswap
C:\sdswap>adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount rw /system
# cat > /system/etc/vold.fstab_new
{
mount_deep = 0
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun0/file
asec = disable
discard = enable
mbr_policy = skip
}
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/mmc_host/mmc0

{
mount_deep = 1
ums_path = /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/gadget/lun1/file
asec = enable
mbr_policy = overwrite
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto /devices/platform/mmci-omap-hs.0/mmc_host/mmc1
#end line ## keep this line
<press Ctrl+D>
#cp /system/etc/vold.fstab /system/etc/vold.fstab_old
#cp /system/etc/vold.fstab_new /system/etc/vold.fstab
# mount -o remount ro /system
# exit

or you can try to edit the file /system/etc/vold.fstab as text with some text editors
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] wayne78:
thanks trip007in for the guide and i will try it....

i'm really new to this android thing cause i am ios user and i been with the ios for the 1st it came out in the market till current and future as well...

but wanted to learn the android to see what the difference between both...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] go4saket:
Sorry for being a noob, but if I am not wrong, there are four partitions namely "Internal Phone Storage", "Personal Data", "Internal SD Crad" & "External SD Card". By this process we do swap the Internal SD Card with External SD Card but I guess all the app and its data is stored in Internal Phone Storage and not in Internal SD Card. So, even if we do the swapping, how does it give extra space for the apps and its data. Here when I am saying this, I am taking into consideration that the apps are installed at default location which happens to be Internal Phone Memory.

Moreover, can some one plese tell me what is the use of "Personal Data". I mean what gets stored there and do we have way to change that.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jaskiratsingh:
You are correct. All applications are installed on Internal Phone Storage but when you install high end games like need for speed, gameloft etc they download data(files) and save them on sd card. These files vary from 100MB to 600MB; hence 2GB will run out. Since these files are required to run applications and if you install more applications, you will run out of space. Thats the reason why swapping is required.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] go4saket:
Thanks for the info. Can you also guide me as what is the use of Personal Data and what kind of files are stored in that?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] wayne78:
hi trip007in

I got 1 problem... After I swap my external sd to internal sd, at 1st ok but after 2 day it mean now everytime I reboot my device the phone cannot read my sd... So how? Do u have any solution...? Already reboot few times still can't read sd card.... i on/off

few more times and it work again.... is there anything that i need to do to make it work properly.... now i dun dare to reboot my phone cause scare if after reboot phone cant read sd card
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] trip007in:
If your vold.fstab is not corrupt and sdcard is properly formatted you wont have this problem. May be you can revert back to original setup and format your microsd and check if you have this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bigdyl69:
Hey this is an awesome mod. I have used this to modify the vold.fstab file on my Galaxy S GT-I9000 and it's always worked great up until the latest 2.3.4 JVP firmware. Now whenever I try to mount the SD cards to view on my Windows PC, the phone will not connect, then I have to reboot the phone to be able to access the SD cards again. It works great otherwise but when it comes to transferring files quickly off my PC to my phone, its much easier to just connect the phone to the PC rather than switch off, remove the card etc.

Anyway, I was wondering if you might know what causes this and how I can fix it?

Here is my modified code: -

This is the original vold.fstab file: -

Please, I really hope you can help as I've tried changing a number of things and cannot fix this issue
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] micmaccc:
hey thx TS for this wonderful mod, working gr8 like it should, using kingmax 16gb cls10 with sd increase app with maximum cache setting makes it perfects, antutu sys benchmark gives me write speed 11.2mb/s and read speed 14.9mb/s

also try out with my other kingstone 8gb cls4 with exactly same settings. after 3 concurrent run of antutu,

write speed 4.6mb/s and read speed 8.8mb/s

so the cls of sdcard really makes a diffence! ;)

thx ts!

Hi trip007in ,

Instead of swapping can't we just merge cards with a virtual volume pointing to both the memory. Will this be possible?

[Acer Iconia A500] TheFlyingPig:
I'd like to get the files off the camera, but the tab will not have enough space for the transaction. I need to dump the files directly onto a portable drive.

Can the USB host a camera and a 1TB drive with a USB hub?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Short answer.. yes probably, but will have to work at it.

I'm assuming it already recognizes your camera and allows you to access the files. If not, then you've got a whole other problem.

Using a usb hub, first plug in the camera and let it mount to usb_storage.

Then plugin the other drive. If it's NTFS Formatted, you can use NTFSMount (search these forums for it) to mount the hard drive. If it's FAT32, you'll need to use a terminal emulator to mount the drive manually.

like I said, you'll have to work at it..
[Acer Iconia A500] muqali:
You can also use an ADB shell to mount the drives. No need for extra software on the tab if you don't want.
[Acer Iconia A500] TheFlyingPig:
Hm...I may have to try that. I haven't used the ADB shell, but I can't imagine that being too hard as long as the drives are recognized.

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techydan:
Hi,

I wanted to post this in the relevant thread, however because I have less than 10 posts, I wasn't allowed.

I tried downloading the latest version using ROM Manager, selecting the relevant addons. However, during the install, I saw the script was looking for version 3.0.4, not 3.0.5 (Which I had downloaded using ROM manager).

I just thought I'd let someone know. Has anyone else had this problem or just me? I'm hoping someone else will alert them of the problem.

Thanks,

Running a VM from a USB stick might be somewhat slow, but it should work very well. Just make sure to enable all of the USB and internet options for the VM :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdxda:
yeah, i'm reading about vm on usb stick. Maybe I shouldn't do that.

What is so hard about java sdk on a usb stick? I don't think I need it as a service or to change the registry. Probably all I need is directory to be added to the PATH.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killersnowman:
Thats why i think a self contained os, java vm, java/android sdk, and ide would be the way to go. I think it would take away the issues of having the java runtime be separated from the os

[Eee Pad Transformer General] The-Nazgul:
Hey guys,

since I got my transformer I noticed that it drains battery faster with wifi sleep policy "disable while sleeping". Because sometimes, it doenst switch off wifi correctly or reenables wifi for some time it sleeps.

Because I dont need push mails on my transformer, while the screen is off. I created a profile for Tasker to switch it to flight mode while screen ist off.

I made some tests and I was able to loose only about 0.3-0.5% battery per hour when screen is turned off.

1.) Get Tasker https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&feature=search_result

2.) Open it and create a new profile, name it "flightmode" (or some other name)

3.) Choose Event -> Display -> Display Off

4.) New Task -> name: flightmode on -> + -> network -> flight mode -> on

5.) Create a new profile, name it "flightmode II" (or some other name)

6.) Choose Event -> Display -> Display On

7.) New Task -> name: flightmode off -> + -> network -> flight mode -> off

This saves me a lot of battery and makes it impossible for buggy apps to keep wifi alive.

Hope it helps you guys :)

Nazgul

P.s.

Just in case you need/want push notification while the screen is off, as stated above, it wont work anymore, so dont do it then.
