[Desire HD General] Repsys7:
Ok I have an Ext4 745.20mb partition with 28mb used (I dont know what its used on)

Im using RCMix3D but I installed the A2SD script and I know its working because I can use A2SD Commands!
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
Sorry, you have an SD card with a single 745MB ext4 partition? :confused:

Can you post your exact SD card partition info - all partition sizes, file systems, and in what order they are partitioned.

Also, your ROM - have you asked this question in the relevant thread?
[Desire HD General] Repsys7:
Sorry what I meant was my first partition was 6.69gb and Fat32, Then I partitioned 750mb off as Ext4.
[Desire HD General] Daz555:
Data first and then A2SD partition second is usually the right way around but I am not familiar with your ROM. For example, does it support EXT4?

Might be worthing popping over to the thread for your ROM in the Development forum and asking around there.
[Desire HD General] Repsys7:
Yeah I did data first, and yeah it does support EXT4.

The rom doesnt actually have A2SD in it, but I put it in myself so its probably no use asking in the rom thread.

I've tried everything, I've partitioned it on linux, gparted, minitool partion on windows, Clockwork recovery, none work.

Thanks for your help anyway!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarienA:
I didn't notice any settings in my newly purchased Infuse that would allow this so I wanted to check, is there an add-on app or setting I'm missed that will allow the screen to stay on while the music player is playing?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shaunleger:
this is an option that i don't believe the default player has. there are several media players in the market that have this option. i use PowerAmp, best player in my opinion
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarienA:
Thanks any thoughts on what is considered the most feature rich player?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] shaunleger:
people seem to like doubletwist because it integrates with itunes i believe. but as far as features, i believe poweramp is head and shoulders above the rest. it autoplays on headphone insertion/bluetooth connection. it has its own lockscreen controls. it crossfades between songs and kills the silence at the beginning and end of tracks, making for a professional dj sounding club mix. the only shortcoming is, it doesn't directly handle m3u files, but this will be fixed in the next release.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarienA:
Much appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] docodine:
Rockbox is the most feature rich, not on the market though. You'll have to hunt for the apk.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] a3plew:
You can do this using tasker.:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DarienA:
I was browsing apps the other day and saw Tasker... it seemed a bit daunting so I didn't look in to it closer... (as an aside I'm probably going to stay with the default music player as I like its integration and swiping capabilities), but it looks like I can use tasker to replicate a feature I did like from poweramp (launch automatically when headset is plugged in), and the keep backlight on... guess I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks again.

edit: Stumbled through setting up the task I wanted related to the music player this morning.

Worked brilliantly. Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harani:
I have T-Mobile G2 touch that is running Android 2.1 and now I want to take it to Android 2.3

A friend of mine "debranded" it from T-Mobile and put a custom ROM on it for me over a year ago but not sure what procedure he used.

The phone doesn't seem to have been rooted.so I am first of all following the procedure I have seen all over these forums and various other sites which is to take it back to kernel 2.73.405.5 in order to root it then proceed from there

The procedure I am following is:

Get the SD card CID code using either ADB or the goldcardtool.exe

Calculate the reverse string using either a website tool or the goldcardtool.exe (tried both methods)

Get emailed the goldcard img file generated by the website

Format the SD card with fat32 and write the contents of the img file to it using either the goldcard tool or manually using a hex editor from sectors 000 to 170 (I have tried both methods)

Restart the phone (should something obvious happen at this point ?)

Thenwith the phone connected to the PC via HTC sync run:

RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe

After it goes through trying to install I get an error

Error (140) bootloader version error

I have also tried using RUU_HEROR_HTC_WWE_1.76.405.1_R3_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe

With the same error.

My phone details are

Hboot 1.76.0007 (Hero10000)

Firmware version 2.1- update 1

Baseband version 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.11

Kernel 3.36.405.1

Software Number 3.36.405.1

Browser version webkit 3.1

Can anyone tell me where i'm going wrong please ?

thanks in advance

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JieeHD:
If your phone has a custom ROM on it then it will be rooted. And what you are doing is a method I'm not familiar with when rooting..

There are simple one-click root methods available in the form of;

z4root or androot.

Use one of them and you will find the process to be much simpler.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harani:
Hi,

You are right I've just tried Androot and it reports that my phone is already rooted.

However i'm still having a problem that when I try to download and install a 2.3 ROM (Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.6) i copy it to the SD card rename to update.zip then when i try to enter the updater HOME+PWR i just get a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a red exclamation mark in it.

I had thought this was because i wasn't root which was why i was trying to get to a baseline to start from but it appears not.

I think this and the previous problem may be down to the bootloader version i have installed ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JieeHD:
No its because you dont a custom recovery installed, there are a couple guides in these forums which should tell you how to install one or download rom manager from the market and install one from there.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harani:
Ok Thanks,

have already been trying to flash a custom recovery image but flashrec doesn't work for me. I keep getting "could not run command" the flashrec page http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec suggests this may be due to a patched ROM being installed which is part of the reason i was trying to downgrade the ROM in the first place.

I've also been trying to use ADB to flash the recovery image from my PC but i can never seem to get the SD card mounted via USB.

I'll try a market app and see how i get on
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harani:
update:

downloaded "ROM manager"

When trying to Flash Clockworkmod recovery with it i get an error which says "an error occurred when attempting to run privileged commands"

this sounds like my phone is not rooted despite with androot says. (which fits with what i've read on these forums and also here http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/18/how-to-downgrade-your-htc-hero-so-it-can-be-rooted/

here that i need to go back to kernel 2.73.405.5 in order to root correctly.

I seem to be going round in circles :-/

it seems like i can't flash a custom recovery until i downgrade the ROM and Root it

and i can't downgrade the ROM until i have custom recovery installed

<bangs head against wall>
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JieeHD:
Did you get a prompt while trying to flash the recovery? ie; A prompt which asked you to allow ROM manager superuser access and you have a yes/no option.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harani:
Yes and i allowed it. i now have "superuser" running in the background with ROMmanager allowed superuser privileges

i did the first option in the menu which is to flash "clockworkmod recovery"

this time it didn't complain about privileges (Some progress !)

but I then told it to reboot into recovery mode but i still got a red triangle with an exclamation mark in it :confused:

then i tried it again and SUCCESS i now have a recovery utility :D

Off to try to install EliLinux 2.3 now.

Many thanks for the pointers !

it is very much appreciated.

I seem to be struggling getting the Motorola software update to see my device - perhaps i need to return it to a previous firmware first.

Is the SBF available from some to download?

Andy
[Defy Android Development] Mdfy:
Yes you need to return your defy to UK 2.1 retail. Just a little favor after downloading the update from MSU. Please check the folder and share to us the SBF (or anyone who would update via msu.)
[Defy Android Development] simon211175:
nice to see it finally making an appearance, even though it's retail only - so of course T-Mobile users have to wait even longer.

Personally, I gave up waiting and took the plunge to upgrade to CM7 RC0 - Motorola are just far too slow.
[Defy Android Development] kashavsehra:
That's excellent news! Can anyone confirm the exact filename of the SBF so that I can download it direct from Motorola's server? It will be in the firmware folder of the Motorola software updater program directory during the download phase.

Yep, SBF would be good here too!

Eventually got an update down via the motorola update software, copied the .sbf file safely out of the folder and ran through the update. Just as i was in the process of creating a multi-upload account, i noticed something...

GingerBreak (works on Froyo too).

Easier and faster than SuperOneClick, for which you need a PC with Windows, .NET, and Motorola drivers.

Rooting a Froyo'ed Defy with GingerBreak is a simple matter of installing an apk and tapping a button.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] retarii:
Hi guys,

I have a rooted Milestone, with a Starhub SBF. Recently, I needed to bring my Milestone back for warranty so I need to reflash/SBF it back to normal, but I cannot access the bootloader mode necessary! It is the exact same problem as: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=843346, but no one replied to that thread. When I hold up and the power button, the screen goes blank for a good minute (probably trying to access bootloader), but then it fails and reboots normally. When I tried to access bootloader via RSDLite (e.g. connecting normally, then pressing "start" to restart into bootloader), the same thing happens, and RSDLite reports: Failed flashing process.Unable to retrieve interface handle.(0x7027).

I really don't understand how a bootloader can get messed up like that! Even using the usual (DPAD UP + Power button) combo doesn't work. I'm using 90.78 bootloader.

EDIT:

If nobody can find a solution, can I please request for a nandroid backup for SINGAPORE milestones, just like the list here: http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/motorola-milestone/30077-nandroid-backup-wanted.html. Unfortunately it does not include the Singapore version, it is very very appreciated to have it, quite desperate now ):

try that!

Hello,

Is is possible to use dd command available under busybox when in recovery mode

to backup partitions?

Examples:

Backup data partition:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26 of=/sdcard/data.img

Restore data partition:

dd if=/sdcard/data.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p26

If yes, then what the needed mount commands to make the above work.

The reason is that I have a problem with nandroid restore:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14714800&postcount=319

Note: similar command apparently works for flashing recovery

image (which is partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p21).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
Good idea. I've tried this on my U8510 (Android 2.3.3) but it doesn't work. This is my partition layout:

cat /proc/mtd

And this is "ls -l /dev/block":

'mmcblk0' is the sdcard.

When i enter 'dd if=/dev/block/mtdblock0 of=/sdcard/mtdblock0-boot.img' i get:

CWM Recovery Backup gives me this files. I'm not sure if this are all files so i want to dump partitions manually.

Why is it not working?

Edit: When i enter 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0.img' dd does work but it copies the sdcard to itself. :)

Why are the other "blocks" not working and how can i get the working ones like your 'mmcblk0p21'?

Hello,

You need to connect the phone to your PC with USB cable then reboot the phone in recovery. In your PC, start the adb.exe command, you should get a command prompt with root right (# instead of $). Then you can use commands in this prompt.

Thanks but I've read (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124939) that is possible to use the command "dd" within the smartphone obtaining a full backup in the sdcard.

I've to use a terminal emulator in android, after installing busybox, to launch the command "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/data.img"?

Thanks in advance!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlilas:
OK, so you will need a rooted phone, then in terminal emulator, change to root with su command to get the root # prompt.

But the difference is that you may take a backup of a live (running) system : this may work (as some live online nandroid backup), but of course the safest/surest is to take a backup when the system is shutdown, as in recovery.

Also, to restore, of course you are required to use the recovery, you cannot restore from inside Android with dd.
