In an effort to track down the EC09 sd card bug so people won't be scared off from flashing TSM's upcoming GB ROM, I've posted a survey thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150575 The more responses I get in the poll I posted (from people who've tried EC09), the closer we can get to finding, isolating and fixing this bug. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] sorb3t:
Testdisk 6.12 is pulling all the data off my sd card that "died" running CM7 build 10, similar to EC09 issue. I'll try formatting it after data recovery is done and see if I can recover the card. Had to select sun file system for it to recognize/find the files.

Was able to format card to FAT32 in Windows 7. So far it is working again. I now have to sift through 50 directories with all the files from the SD, except they all have different file names. At least I was able to recover.
[Fascinate Android Development] shilohdrummer:
FREAK!!! My friend's 16gb sd card got "damaged" and after a month, so is mine!! FKKKKK! It's a freaken burned sd card, unusable, un-revivable... Hopefully the program above my post can be hopeful. Although the phone's usb reader isn't working, I do have a micro sd card reader at home. Will definitely check to verify if possible when I do get home. Hopefully this issue can be resolved asap
[Fascinate Android Development] lagbot7000:
I fell victim to this bug as well. Started when I installed CM7 and EC09 modem and my sd card became corrupted after a few weeks and would not read in my phone, but worked fine in my PC. Formatted and I was fine until a few weeks later when I started experiencing random force closes. By this point I had moved on to the nightly's and ED05. Now my sd card doesn't show up at all on my PC, no drive letter, nothing, and it doesn't show up at all in my phone either. Bought a new card since none of the recovery methods I could find seemed to work.

Continuing to run CM7 though. No pain, no gain.

Whatever the bug is, it only appeared after the AOSP base was updated to 2.3.5 (when talking about CM7, MIUI and VG). The only way you can rule out having any SD issues related to the ROM is to use a build based on 2.3.4. The last stable one being 7/25 when referring to CM7. Using the EC09 modem is fine, it was only the full ROM package that caused issues. (even when not using the EC09 modem)
[Fascinate Android Development] TtWEAK:
Mine just went out. I've been using the nightlies, and I never messed with the radio which is still EB01. It happened while I was sleeping, so I doubt it rebooted. It just said it was removed, upon reboot it now says blank. I guess I'll go back to 7/17 as it was fine.

P.S. Swiftkey is apparently useless without an SD card.

FREAK!!! I attempted to use Test Disk to save my sd card.. and I failed miserably. Maybe I used the program incorrectly but man, i NEED to save my 16gb sd card!

Is there really no way to save it? Should I just throw it away?

Try the SDHC format utility, it saved mine

[Fascinate Android Development] Robtao:
Reports are that there is a kernel issue, not found in the Glitch kernel. Some are advising to flash the Glitch kernel. Jt is reported to be working on it. I am going to try it, as I have had some issues with data on the card, but haven't lost the card completely as yet. More in Rootzwiki forum.

Edit: Using Glitch ML and trying sbrissen Pool Party ROM, also GB bootloader. But to be safe I am using an 8GB card i had. So far so good. Some freezes or lock-ups, though.

I have noticed that micro sd cards work for me, but when I try a micro sdHC card it says it is damaged or unsupported filesystem
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
mine just went Tango Uniform. I was on CM7 nightly 12 I think. it was working just fine and I can't think of anything specific that triggered it to self-terminate.

I was just so happy that GPS was working reliably, I seemed to not have phantom voice mails show up, and it was going so well... and now all the information on the SD card is gone. good ol' android. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
does anyone know if the SD card fixes are embedded in the absolute latest stuff, or should I roll back?
[Fascinate Android Development] Azuma73:
Yeah man, I jacked my 8gb backup sd card somehow. Computer won't even recognize it in the carrier? Is there any way to make it usable again? Or am i S.O.L?
[Fascinate Android Development] Azuma73:
This is my question as well?????:(

*****EDIT: Nevermind.....I tried a different carrier and it allowed me to re-format and it seems to be workin' fine!!****
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
There hasn't been another leaked TW-based gingerbread rom, so no nothing has been fixed. Don't confuse the issue that came from the EC09 leak with the problem currently facing AOSP roms.
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
oh yikes, I did not know there were two simultaneous SD card issues.

I will try to roll back to eclair and see if the phone can see it and format it. using a USB adapter, the format utility sees it but says not supported. likewise, windows itself can't format it. I really don't understand how flash media can be actually FRIED via the recent updates. if things are this dire, couldn't the onboard flash memory be at risk as well??? strange things afoot in android land :(
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
The card is dead if no formatter works. I've lost two on AOSP roms in the last week. 4gb cards are cheap though. That's what I'm using until the issue gets ironed out. Not a huge deal.

Oddly though I never had issues running the ec09 leak or comrom variant. Go figure.
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
yeah same, I've had lots of roms and kernels and lots of file systems - and something in 2.3.5 one just nuked it cold. I just can't believe that it's not even addressable to be reformatted by ANYTHING. That's quite a powerful bug if the SD card can't even be re-initialized and reformatted. I rolled back to each version in the "unbrick" section, to see if any other bone stock ROM/kernel could see the card - no luck.

all righty, I'll hit up newegg for some more cards.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrjake1970:
i have a possible solution in my thread here. it has worked for me and a few people. it totally fixed mine, and another guy was able to do it and have his card at least be able to be formatted... one other gent tried it and couldnt get it to work..

its worth a shot...

and you wont believe how simple it is :)

i am crying

Im only a 11 year old kid and i tried the stupud gingerbread leak, and after a month, my sd card suddenly got unformatted. I had a micro sd card translator so i tried to format it but it didnt work. My mom had 2 sdcards, so she gave me one. The next day, the sd card is also unformatted and i had all 300 pictures or more of me and my small sister with my dad and mom and now i am really sad, practically crying. Please help me. both of those unformatted cards are also the stock 16 gb card. I am really crying like crazy. All those memories are gone now. Please l, is there a way at all to fix this?
[Fascinate Android Development] droidstyle:
11yr olds actually have smartphones and know how to flash roms? Holy **** I feel old now lol! One thing I can tell ya and its posted in the beginning of every rom thread. BACK UP YOUR SD CARD!!
[Fascinate Android Development] xwhofarted:
You can try recovery software, hopefully you didn't try to reformat it.

If you did, there is still a chance and is still worth the shot.

Get a usb to micro sd card adapter from staples or some place like that,it should be under $20.

Then find a reliable [this is the hard part] free software for data recovery.

it will scan and see what is recoverable. it will take a LONG TIME. [few hours maybe]

most "free" ones will do the scan for free and it will show you what it can recover BUT, you will have to buy the full version to recover them.

So do your research first on what the best software is out there.

I really cant tell you one off of the top of my head but i know they are out there.

Good luck
[Fascinate Android Development] Jinhoeric:
....

I already have a micro usb adapter and i have tried to recover my pictures with a software called photorescue but the program only reads errors in the card and can not take anything out. And also, my sisters 16 gb micro sdcard also burned today while she was using the miui rom with the stock kernel. and yes, i am 11 aznd i guess i know all this cuz all my family members are computer programers.

Really though kid, do your reading first, looking at your posts you have had this happen multiple times. There is a possible fix in the general section. Have someone send you an mms with the fried sd card in. worked for me. its worth a shot right?
[Fascinate Android Development] Jinhoeric:
solution...

today, i have tried again, this time using the 2nd sd card that my mom gave me, the program was able to find all the pitctures and recvoer them. the strange thing is, Y did my first sd card on the GB ec09 get burned? i cant restore any pictures, i cant reformat, i cant do anything with it.

i am also going to see if this program will work for my sister's burned sd card and see if it works....

<And yes, i am sorry i said i was 12 in the other posts.....

i am a bit foolish and have a habit of making little lies.>

also, what is a kernel that wont burn my sd card? i am not planning to go to a stock rom so is there a good froyo kernel that has the white status bar and is realy smooth?

[LG Optimus 2x] Frederic Pache:
Hello,

I try to have help because now it's impossible to install 1Password Reader on my LG 2X anymore.

I have Froyo 2.2.2. My phone is not rooted, everything is official.

I moved the 1Password to SDCARD to gain memory in phone. And it was working fine. But then it was impossible to update anymore from Market and so I uninstalled it. And now it's impossible to install from scratch anymore!

What can I do in order I can install it again?

It seems this is a bug in Froyo/Market because I have same problem with others applications. I moved some of them back in phone memory from sdcard and update are fine again from Market for these applications.

But with 1Password I cannot because I uninstalled it.

Market download produces unsuccessfull installation message error.

Also it seems widgets are not enlisted for these applications on SDCARD.

Thanks for any help.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Hvae you tried instaing it from the online market from your computer???

[LG Optimus 2x] Frederic Pache:
Yes I tried, same problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kickasskev:
Just downloaded it and pulled the APK (free app on the market), have uploaded it, try installing manually or by ADB
[LG Optimus 2x] Frederic Pache:
This is not a solution but finally a developer on AgileBits Forum gave me the solution.

Here is my reply:

Gene,

Thanks you very much you helped me a lot!

Actually in a LG Optimus 2X there are 2 SD CARDS.

One is internal (welded inside) and the other external (what you insert yourself).

So what you said about cleaning the Market data application is not sufficient, unfortunately.

What I did first is to unmount the external SD Card; stupid I am because 1Password don"t go on that SDCARD but on the internal one.

So I unmounted the card via Settings/SD & Memory and then unmount and I tried to install again the application and... BINGO!

Of course I just needed to remount the internal SDCARD because 1Password complaint and refuse to run without SDCard unmounted.

And that's all the story. A big thank you for your help.

Now I need to go and apply same trick for another software: Pulse.

A question. Android gives possibility to move software from phone memory to internal SD CARD. What about to move and run a software from external SD Card? Is it possible? Gingerbread do this or do we need to wait for IceCream Sandwich end of year (...or end of next year as LG is not so quick to post Gingerbread till now...) ?

And other question. Is there an official link on the web where memory stuff is well explained in an Android phone?
[LG Optimus 2x] IEski:
Hi all. I need to know something about basebands, so what does i change when i change baseband ? Will it improve performance ? I´m on baseband 218, should i change it ?
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
Baseband basically is a driver for your phone's radio.. upgrading it may improve radio signal, overall battery usage etc. It's like a device driver on your windows pc. It usually (but not necessarily) comes with RIL (radio interface layer) which is a software for your android that communicates with the driver. I personally recommend you to upgrade your baseband because yours is quite old and has been 4-5 update releases since that. You still need to do some research on which baseband release is the best overall performer.. lastest release doesnt mean its good..

Be known that flashing your baseband may brick your phone or make your radio unusable.. so do it at your own risk.
[LG Optimus 2x] IEski:
I'll look on it, but my phone still works great without any big problems so i dont have big reason ^_^.
[LG Optimus 2x] FreeZr:
Newb question here :)

What's the difference between the normal baseband and the RIL baseband?

Is the radio interface layer only used for the radio?

Lets say i update the baseband, do i necessarily need to update the RIL too?

Thanks in advance, i'm such a newb :D
[LG Optimus 2x] sroc:
I also have that question! I got 0405 and I want to update the BB to 0622 or something, but I don't know if RIL is also needed for stock ROM.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] tablighs:
As I said, RIL is the software that communicates with the baseband and the baseband update itself is like a firmware flash.. its not part of android system and will not be backed up if you are to make a nandroid backup. It is always a good idea if you were to flash a new baseband and to also update the RIL that the baseband update comes with because the new RIL will be optimised (or so to speak) for the new baseband update.

I've been checking the tech news blogs pretty much every day for the past week now waiting on word of HTC's official 2.3 release for the Desire. I'm really curious what they're going to do for the update!

Just for fun (and to kill some time in between), I was wondering what you all thought HTC might do... I'm doubtful of all the chatter saying they'll be putting out stock Gingerbread for this update. I'd guess (and am hopeful) they'll be putting a more streamlined version of Sense on the phone. Personally I really dig the skin.

But I'm even *more* hopeful they'll leave so much damned space left over on the ROM I won't have to worry about low disk space notifications ever again (even though indie developers fixed that a long time ago).

By the way, long time xda reader, first time poster. Thanks for everything.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Quick Office,

Facebook,

Google Maps,

Google Search,

You Tube,

Google Voice Search,

Think some or all of above will go as I can't think of much else from FroYo ROM can be downloaded from Market.

Plurk will probably be gone too from leaked GB

I think they should move some bits to HTC Hub though like Teeter and Stocks.
[Desire General] Cactus42:
Doubtful. The initial reason for Gingerbread not coming to the Desire was lack of space - which is true because the amount available on the Desire is abysmal compared to most other phones and you can't change the HBoot partition layout with an RUU/OTA because of S-On (to my knowledge). So to get Gingerbread and Sense on there they'll need to strip it out just to fit and move stuff around, you'll likely end up with less space than before.

I'd wait till it's released and A2SD+ is added by one of our resident geniuses.
[Desire General] Rageypeep:
YAY! Yet another "Official 2.3.3 ROM" post! (3 a day is just is just slacking these days!)

HTC will release a OLD version of sense, if not 1.9 then 2.0 on 2.3.3.... i will be very surprised (and impressed) if they could fit any thing newer into the phones stock memory, even if they got sense into it the phone carriers still want to put there crappy apps on top of it to make it to big for the phone.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Well sure they can change partition layout. S-on just means that the bootloader only allows flashing of files signed with the right signature. HTC will of course have this signature, and they use it to sign every update and ruu.

So yes they can indeed flash another bootloader both using ota and ruu, so if they want to, they can change the partition layout.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
This one doesn't actually pretend to be a '2.3 is coming' thread though - from the offset it says that it is to guess what's changed in the release when it comes.

If all they are doing is removing apps then all they can realistically remove are the ones dev's normally remove/update from a release anyway, being google's apps that are in the market, and quickoffice and facebook.

Everything else I think is sense/HTC related

Since they don't elude to moving anything like teeter/stocks to HTC Hub to be downloaded if one so wishes, which would be the only other sensible thing to try and squeeze a little more space out of the phone, (other than changing partition sizes which I doubt will happen)
[Desire General] KrewCial:
I myself have also been eagerly waiting on stock gingerbread. Never took the plunge to run a custom rom, because stock froyo still runs super smooth, after almost a year. Now that htc claims to remove apps to make room for gingerbread + sense, Im starting to wonder whether the amount of free space will be even less than there is now. The internal storage problem has been my only issue. Knowing it will decrease even more when gingerbread is released, I dont see any benefits to the update, apart from having official gingerbread for the desire, which can be used to make custom roms lacking the internal storage issue.
[Desire General] Andante1980:
Guessing on the content or perhaps lack thereof.

HTC is most likely not going to be messing with the HBoot layout, since that would mean user data would be lost. I'm sure that's not acceptable for an OTA.

So all that's left for them is to remove extra apps they loaded into the system partition to make space for whatever components have grown.

Pretty sure things like Plurk and a few others will face the axe.

The version of Sense will be anyones guess, however seeing they put out a test rom with the version of sense that was already on the desire and it fit the existing hboot layout: I'm betting it going to be a more recent version of sense, else they would not need the extra space from removing apps.
[Desire General] pumpkinpatch:
Yeah, I never tried to imply this was an "official" release thread... just wanted to shoot the breeze about what you thought might come out from HTC. I think most of you got that, though. :)

According to HTC's Desire/Gingerbread Update page on Facebook they're supposed to be announcing a release schedule early this week. Seeing as it's Tuesday already we should be hearing something soon.

As for repartitioning the HBOOT layout, I do recall reading somewhere (I can't remember where now) that this update might only be available as an install file to use with HTC Sync and not an OTA update. Again, this was just a rumor I read somewhere, but that might make some sense as most everyone who is rabid for an official 2.3 release would most likely know how to apply that update, and would be able to cope with their contacts/settings being wiped. Casual users, on the other hand, might not be able to deal with that, but also not care so much about updating to GB.

Anyway, still waiting...
[Desire General] mortuus82:
I dont care much for sense or which version they will include, i run launcherpro anyways im just happy we will get gingerbread after all and they can remove all lame social apps that i dont use anyways.
