[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Sadly, that didn't do the trick.

Aren't there any tools or anything in recovery menu that could help me getting the ext. SD card recognized again? I can't even format it in Windows since it's not recognized.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Have you tried another sdcard in your Galaxy?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
This is the only SD card of this type I have. :/
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superindian:
did you try flashing your phone ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Yes, I flashed a few times (downgraded from Gingerbread JVO to Froyo JPU, then flashed to JPY and eventually via Kies to GB again, JVI), the problem remained.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mavr15:
I think you have problems with internal sd card ( storage ) If you have waanty you need to go to service, change phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
Could you explain this further? What makes you think the internal SD storage is faulty? So far, only the external card no longer works.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mavr15:

As you can see, phone can't format /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 and other partitions.

mmcblk0p2 mounted at /sdcard . Can't format, so can't mount unformated partitions.

External sd card mounted at /sdcard/external_sd. If sdcard not mounted - external too not mounted. Why can't format? I dont know, or memory chip bricked, or some thing with soldering.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Landorin:
I'm so unfamiliar with recovery mode, thanks for these explanations.

So could that mean my internal SD may fall apart at some point too? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mavr15:
I think phone boot in this order:

1. First Bootloader

2. Second Loader

3. Kernel

In first loader we can boot usually or in Download Mode

In Second - Recovery mode to install update.zip or wipe data, cache and sdcard
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphitz:
I have a similar problem. I have a 4GB external SD-card. It functioned fine until updating the MIUI-mod. After that, only the internal 16GB could be seen by the SGS. Even when I went back to Froyo, the card couldn't be read anymore. It wasn't even detected. Except when removing the SD. The system says then that the card can be removed... strange since it already is removed. Connecting it again, the message goes away. I checked the SD in my cardreader on the pc. Working fine there. I formatted it multiple times (FAT32), but no luck so far. The SD doesn't seem to be broken or should I format it with another clustersize or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
Try this, on my phone it helped:

But do not copy any files in it. Just reboot after you have created the folder and then your external sd should be recognised. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superindian:
hope ur fone has the right bootloaders..

Wrong post buddy. ;)
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
So a fair amount of people are using Androidiani Open Recovery, myself included now, but I have a few questions about it. Namely what everything does. In the menu there are all sorts of things to do and use, but I am not sure what they actually do. I know about memhack, kernal optimization and zipalign, but what about all the other Froyo mods and tweaks in there?

For some reason, I can't attach a screen shot to this, but some of them are Istall Mod -conservative/interactive, Memory manager, vm heap size,...
[Milestone XT720 General] try-and-error:
The most helpful feature of AOR is the possibility to check the sd card. No need to plug the card to the pc for checks. :D

I also use zipalign after restoring my apps in a new rom.

With the adblock script you can update the host file to prevents ads in apps or in browser.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
So, the one thing about Androidiani is that it's developed by A853 users, so I've never touched the baseband utilities out of fear it will do something bad.
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
It's nice to have access to system apps to get rid of what I don't want (or pull out a system apk) after a new flash. I also keep a copy of the latest system apps as a theme so after a new flash I can just apply the "theme" & have all the current versions of Maps, Facebook, etc.

I've never tried the kernel optimization because I wasn't' sure if I should use the froyo or the eclair as we still have the eclair kernel.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I know better than that. Baseband messing is Badddd! I am more interested in the Memory tweaks and things like that.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I've never tried the kernel optimization because I wasn't' sure if I should use the froyo or the eclair as we still have the eclair kernel.[/QUOTE]

I tried the one for Froyo and not sure if it worked or not but let's just say it didn't "screw" anything up (as far as I know). I did have to re-root though and re-allow all the superuser permissions and overclock again. But as far as performance, it didn't hinder anything and it might be a plecebo effect, but I feel it is somewhat more stable. Could be in my head though.

Mioze7Ae ~ This is one of those times I was talking about in the SUperoneclick question where I had to use Unversal Androot and it worked just fine.
[Milestone XT720 General] hellmonger:
They don't work, neither does that fix permissions stop force close just bricks the phone...

ZipAlign works fine though...
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
Fix permission will work if it was a permission problem.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Got a question about this. After a few weeks of flashing the special, Wanhu, CM6...I noticed that AOR wouldn't let me flash update.zips for some reason. Awhile ago, I had this problem and either 3rdstring or Mz advised me to reinstall AOR. I did and everything worked. Now that the the CM6 is out and primarily done through updated.zips, I found a problem again. When AOR installs, it loads up a bunch of pix that show up in my media gallery. If I leave them in there, I can use the update.zip just fine. If I delete these pix, then it creates the problem that will not let me use that function. I can probably put a .nomedia in there somewhere, but not sure where. Has anyone else had this problem. It is AOR 3.3 in case you are wondering.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
I read through this thread a week back. Im now using Androidiani with stock CB 2.1 Could anyone please guide me to which optimizations to use with 2.1, how they work and what works on our XT720? I would really appretiate it thanks!
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
What I have used is the Zipalign, obviously the wipes and resets, the fix permissions works really well (especially when flashing in between ROMs), Mchlbenner uses the Overclock settings. Haven't used anything in the memory settings like VM heap or anything like that.

Probably the things I use the most are in the menu utilities and the SD and SD-ext scans to make sure card is working. I usually do this before I flash a ROM and then once after I boot up totally. Seems redundant but it has saved me a card before b/c of a bad partition.

Mioze added a script for link2sd/app2ext (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1177020&page=61) sorry don't know how to put just a plain "here" and have the link embedded.

If you use any of the modding menus, use the Eclair one b/c it is based off the kernal version. I know that 3rdstring uses AOR quite often to apply apps and such. May want to ask him about setting that up.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
That's more of a WIP for discussion. The ROM has to support it (and none do yet).
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
My bad. Sorry about that one MZ.

Sohrab ~ forgot to mention to stay away fro mthe baseband settings. Pretty sur ethis will mess your stuff up if you don't know what you are doing with it. Better left alone (for now).
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
Thanks woodrube! I tried a few things, have no idea if they are working or not. Adblock doesnt work, still get ads with wifi when i play angry birds. Also google maps is uninstallable on the market. Wonder what thats about.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
No problem. I think it's time we start creating our own baseband files for XT720. I've been poking around inside the Androidiani ones. I think they're just updates that only mess with the /system partition, so maybe worst case your phone stops working with the network until you get the right baseband back in. I think I know where to extract files from the SBFs to create our own, so we should be able to start making some XT720 specific ones.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I think the hosts file in the adblock is way old by now. At least it seems I start to get ads every few weeks and have to install a new hosts file. I just hosed my phone so I can't check, but I think AdFree is the app I use for that.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
I already made baseband update for our phone. I used one from androidian and replace our files with theirs.
[Milestone XT720 General] sohrab.naushad:
I figured out the maps issue. Apparently the new version of google maps has 3D maps and wasn't avaibable in my country. I just used market enabler and downloaded it. Lol its stupid, I mean dont let someone update just because of country they live in? Ill wont have 3D at home, but I can use it if i travel abroad. Anyways!
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I use adfree too but the recent update screwed everything up. I just revert to previous build using TB and it still works for me. If I can pull that one out ill pm you with it, since not thread relavent. Btw ads in Angry Birds are embedded in software, so adfree wont work for some reason. Check adfree's review in market and they tell you why.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
Has anyone used the compress option when making a back up? It is there, but I wonder what it will do? Does it function properly? I seem to remember reading something about compressing ad back up and it get corrupted or something like that but I can't remember when or where I read it.

What functionality does the Compress back up do (and please do say something like "it makes it smaller")? Does it work?
[Milestone XT720 General] 3rdstring:
OTay, "it makes it smaller" :D. I think I remember Mioze7Ae saying that it took alot longer to make a backup but I've never really tried it before.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
It does work. But it's slow as molasses for both backup and restore. When you backup it first creates an uncompressed backup to the sdcard, then it reads the uncompressed backup from the sdcard and writes a compressed backup to the sdcard, then it and deletes the uncompressed backup. When you restore, it first reads the compressed backup from the sdcard and writes an uncompressed version of the backup to the sdcard, restores the uncompressed backup, and deletes the uncompressed backup.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I must have had an EBKAC when I typed that. Meant to put please do NOT. It was an ID10t error on my part.

Thanks MZ. So it does work but really in the age of faster, faster, faster, why do something so slow.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luunatiq:

[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
You can check the Changelog here:

Scroll down the page, till you see "CHANGELOG"

And Yes, I would recommend upgrading.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luunatiq:
10x but how do i make the upgrade?how to save my apps data?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
You can simply flash over your existing installation of CM7, it should work. But, make a Nandroid Backup, just in case something goes wrong, and you have to wipe data to reinstall.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luunatiq:
after flashing the new rom can i restore only the data, i fear not to restore my old rom back... 10x a lot
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bx19:
I guess it can be done by fastboot flashing method. The command will be

fastboot flash userdata data.img

Though i haven't checked it yet.

Or using the "advanced restore" of CWM recovery to restore the "data.img" alone.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ysk79:
My phone was running on 2.1 which was updated through SEUS. To get 2.2, I rooted my phone. Now my phone is back on 1.6 and is stuck there. I used Flashtool to go back to 2.1 so I can install xrecovery and eventually get to 2.2 but now its not working. I get Flash successful massage but when I check my phone it is still 1.6

I have tried 2-3 different Flash tools, 2-3 different ROMs for 2.1 but hasnt worked. I am stuck at 1.6 and only able to make calls and receive messages because after rooting even the GPRS is not working.

I will greatly appreciate some guru taking up my case.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
You could give us some more information because there are parts that I seem to miss...

So, you updated your phone from 1.6 to 2.1 via SEUS.

How did this happen? :confused: Which rooting method did you use?

Only 2 work in 2.1 as far as I know: Flashtool and One-Click Root app.

Rooting doesn't change your firmware, it's just modifying some files to allow superuser access.

So, you flashed a 2.1 ROM again but now your phone doesn't work? And it's still on 1.6? Have you tried the Repair option on SEUS or PC Companion?

:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Ok, this has been happening to a lot of people lately.

Can someone smarter than me find out if SE followed through with their plans to stop rooted phones from using SEUS or PC Companion?

Unknown13x said that this was coming with the 2.3.3 Gingerbread update. He said we will have to be running unmodified stock firmware to be able to run update service.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
I'm rooted and on custom ROM and yet PC Companion and SEUS both recognize my phone, I even repaired it with SEUS once to get back to stock.

What strikes me as weird in the OP is how did rooting sent him back to 1.6...

:confused: :confused: :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
Must have chosen the wrong file to flash from SD to get back to 1.6
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realunited123:
I guess that the OP got confused and used the 1.6 root method(The one that Bin4ry,jerpelea and biktor made). There was a step to downgrade to an older 1.6 firmware to make use of FOTA debug menu.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Ah, that would explain it! ;)

Then an update with PC Companion should fix this, right?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] realunited123:
Yes, unless SE have updated SEUS and PC companion to detect rooted/tampered phones. But flash tool should work all the time. Don't know why he is getting issues with it.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Have you done it recently on the updated SEUS? I am afraid to try. I have read a few others have come and gone with this problem. No matter what they do, the phone resets to 1.6.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Really??? :(

I did it a week or two ago, when I got in reboot loop trying to install the custom kernel and my recovery was broken. Flashtool didn't recognise my phone either,

so I used SEUS. Took me back to the latest 2.1 (2.1.B.0.1).

Maybe it has to do with regions, some may have not received 2.1 officially, so SEUS rolls the phone back to 1.6. Don't know... Now I'm afraid to use it again too! :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdintx:
If you're in the US, shouldn't it take you to AT&T 2.1 release?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ysk79:
Thanks for the discussions but what should I do now? SEUS is not working for me...and flashtool gives me a thumbs up but whenever I check my phone, it is still on 1.6.. Let me know what you guys need to figure out how do I get out of this hole.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
Which firmware are you flashing with FlashTool?
[General Questions and Answers] Joeliooo:
hello :)

i am in the middle of developing an app, nothing special. just a converter for my use.

my main page has three buttons on it, but i want to link them to another page in my application

eg MainPage.xaml to page1.xaml.

i am using visual basic, and when i create windows applications i use

either:

me.visible = false

page1.visible = true

or

MainPage.visible=false

Page1.visible = true.

but this is not the same for windows phone coding, and its really confused me, i should also state i am a beginner in coding for windows phone, as this is my first decent app :)

if anyone can help, that would be amazing!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] p4uly:
Hello,

I have a samsung galaxy Ace and am very impressed.

I have downloaded the new 2.3.4 ROM from samfirmware.com and it works fine.

However the standard email app on the ace has the "feature" of putting all my exchange folders in tabs along the top (this was the same in 2.2.1 guise) - this crashes the app as I have many folders.

I have looked at the Samsung S2 (and other android devices) - the email app it uses does not have the same feature. Folders are selected via the menu.

So can anyone tell me if the ROMs in this section still use the same standard Ace email app (i.e. folders in tabs) or is there a way of building a ROM with the S2 email App??

Many many thanks for any help received.

That's because you didn't read the previous threads very well.

You installed version 2.0.0.47

The verison that supports video calling for EVO 3D ( Hacked version) is 2.0.0.45. If you update to version 2.0.0.47 you can NO LONGER use video calling on the EvO 3D because it's not officially supported yet.

uninstall 47 on Evo3D...video now works

I had (apparently) updated skype to .47 I used market to uninstall, then installed the downloaded .45 version.

When I ran that version it got to the login point and said I had to reinstall skype...

I realized that the original skype client was still running in the background.

I used Task Manager, looked at all running services, and stopped it there.

I then again tried to install the download, this time it took and logged me in.

Then it showed contacts and had an icon if video was available.

So I clicked on this laptop, and boom skype video over wifi!

Then I turned off wifi and tried again...it was obviously slower and choppier and skype complained, but it did show the two way video!

Thanks to all involved!

Can someone confirm if the EVO 3D can send 3D video using skype (if both side got a 3D smartphone) ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Reeonimus:
I would say no, and even if it could it would force you to use the two cameras on the back. You can't do 3d video with one lense, so with both parties pointing the back two cameras at themselves how would you see what's on the screen?

Hi

I helped my colleague to get Root via Alpharevx. No problem what so ever got clockwork recovery installed also without problems. Su installed via Clockwork rec. and finally rom Manager installed everything went smooth.

Then he did a backed up his data and installed Cyanogen latest mod RC1. Now it is stucked in a boot loop where the animations restarts over and over again. I restared in recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and data all the jazz. I reaplayed the update still the same.

I'm fresh out of ideas. What to do?

thank you i found the thread but i donno how to flash it? do i put it on /SD and flash it via recovery "install update.zip" or do i use fast boot. i'm sorry i'm a noob i kinda need step by step instructions :(

i don't know which one to download. There are several files to download from there :(
[HTC Incredible S] Cardiiiii:
Download the first v1.1.1 file.

Place it on your SD Card.

Boot into Recovery.

Choose 'Install Zip from SD Card' then 'Choose zip from SD Card'

Choose the 4EXT Recovery file.

After flashing that go into the 'Wipe/format' menu

First Factory Reset, then wipe cache, then wipe dalvik cache

Then go into the install zip from SD Card and install CM7

It should work.
