[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donbowman:
I'm trying to understand why i cannot put a video of > 4GB to /mt/sdcard/video. I had assumed there was some use of vfat filesystem, but after digging into it, it appears not.

The mount table is such that

/dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /data ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered,noauto_da_alloc,discard 0 0

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1,data=ordered 0 0

/dev/fuse /mnt/sdcard fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=1023,group_id=1023,default_permissions,allow_other 0 0

and /sdcard is a soft-link to /mnt/sdcard.

If i look in /data/media/video, which is on the ext4 filesystem, i can put a file > 4GB.

But when i try instead to write this to /mnt/sdcard/video, it fails.

What is the rationale for the fuse mount of the /data/media onto /mnt/sdcard? Is that part of the MTP mounting system for USB?

Is there any reason i cannot just either use the path of /data/media for everything and/or change /sdcard link to point to /data/media instead of /mnt/sdcard?

if i grep around in the *.odex files i find some reference /sdcard, and some reference /mnt/sdcard. What is the rationale for that?

Where is the script that does the fuse mount of /data/media to /mnt/sdcard? It doesn't seem to be /etc/vold.fstab. Is it the /init.p3.rc script? It seems to just run /system/bin/sdcard. Is there a reason i cannot just make that be 'ln -s /data/media /mnt/sdcard' instead of 'service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023 ' or will i end up with file permission problems?

Hi, I installed ClockworkMod recovery installing Droid 2 Bootstrapper to make changes that I did. From now on every startup I get ClockworkMod recovery, can I remove it or make it appear only on request?

thanks

If you unnistall the droid2bootstrapper app you'll always get to recoveryon boot. Just reinstall the app.

Or, if you wanna delete it, do it in the Terminal Emulator/ADB Shell:

I thought I can connect a external hard drive, sales rep told me I can but so far works with thumb drive. I'm not rooted yet, just got it last night. Is it possible.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
You can plug in any drive but you'll need a special program if the drive uses a NTFS filesystem (USB mount all, Drive mount,...).
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
You must check the filesystem you are using. By default, ie. without any additional apps or such, A500 supports only FAT - or FAT32 - formatted drives. Either format your drive to FAT32 on Windows or install the NTFS - app the above poster mentioned. After that it works just peachy, I've got several drives I use and haven't met a single hitch yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
Thanks guys, I'm using ntfs drives and wouldn't like to change it to fat. I'm having a hard time locating those app on the market, are those paid apps, one refers to mount sd card, I need a little help here please.
[Acer Iconia A500] vari9:
Search for drive mount on the market.....you will need root access to mount ntfs whatever app you use...
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Here you go:

[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
Thanks I'll check that out as soon as I get home.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Just remember you need to be rooted for a ntfs drive mount program to work :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Yup. As the above poster said: "No root no dice."
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
Feedback, I got all that, thanks guys.

Now half of my dvix movies don't play the audio do I need to install some kind of codec, using mxplayer, mplayer, realplayer, etc all doing the same.
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Do they have audio in AC3 format? Lots of people -- ie. most people -- can't get audio when it's AC3, I don't know if it's a limitation of Tegra2 or what. If you have AC3 audio in your files then your only reliable option seems to be transcoding the files.

I personally have never even tried, there's no point in having multi-channel audio when I'm only using stereo headphones to listen to it.
[Acer Iconia A500] OffcerClancy:
Try mobo player; its located on the market. I've found it to play any of my vid formats.
[Acer Iconia A500] dgsmith90:
+1 on that. It even plays all my movies over the network when used in conjunction with UPnPlayer or whatever it is
[Acer Iconia A500] veer01_42:
I did some checking, no support for exfat either. So fat32 it is.

If anyone has a spare laptop hdd or old laptop lying around, take the hdd, put it in an enclosure and use easeus partition manager to format the whole thing to fat 32 regardless of capacity over 40 gbs and velcro that to your Iconia and u will have all the storage ud need. Just keep your files under 4 gbs.
[Acer Iconia A500] dito33:
That's not bad idea I have my body did to his laptop with 2 500gb hard drive, but I don't have any problem rite now attaching my ntfs 500gb as external since reads everything now the problem is like I mentioned earlier some dvix won't play audio, ill try those other players latter.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrael:
just clearing cache won't clear your battery stats.

go into CWM => advanced => Wipe battery stats ( charge your phone to full before )

normally, that should help after a few cycles (had a totally funky battery life when switched from KF3 to KG1 (when i upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4) and this has sorted the problem.)

If it is only having problems with one Wifi network, chances are it's the network. (reset password/restart router/change channel the routeris on/or encryption)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scroach:
Hey guys,

i've got a big problem. Currently my HTC Desire is a "brick". Not like the normal bricks, I didn't flash a new rom or so.

The problem is: my back button doesn't work!

I wanted to try a restart, but I can't boot anymore.

When I turn it on, I just come into fastboot. So it seems like the back button is "stuck".

Is there any other way how I could boot my desire?!

I would be fine with a running desire with no back button, better than a completely bricked one. :(

And if I am able too boot my desire, is there any way to remap the hardware buttons? E.g. I don't really need the search button, so I could use it as back button.

Thanks in advance,

Patrick

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
Hi all, I've been having problems with my transformer... again. This time I have my transformer successfully rooted with an updated CWM, and flashed PRIME 1.6 and Netformer 1.5. The problem started when I held down power and selected the recovery option in the shutdown menu. the tablet went into a bootloop until I put it into APX mode to run the unbricking tool stickied in the dev section. For some reason, the tool didn't work and it did NOT say "phone update success on the tablet screen."

I then turned it off and my computer makes the USB disconnect sound, but then makes the connect sound right after, and Nvidia USB recovery shows up in device manager again, which means that it is stuck in APX mode. I cannot boot into CWM and I cannot boot up normally because it just dumps me back into APX.

I found a thread of someone who was also stuck in APX mode, but it doesn't help because he just returned the tablet whereas I cannot. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169097

So to recap, I am stuck in APX mode, I can't boot normally or into CWM, and the unbricking tool does not work. Help please? I am starting to seriously regret flashing anything :(

EDIT: I did it! Thanks to all for the responses, I finally followed this guide to nv_flash prime 1.6r2 to my tablet and now it boots! The problem turned out to be that when I used the unbricking tool, it formatted all my data so the tablet was not able to boot into anything. By nv_flashing a rom onto it, it had something to boot into... again, thanks!

Did you actually flash a rom? That can happen when you dont have the appropriate files in the directory. Refer to the video that demonstrating an NVflash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
Yes, I flashed prime 1.6 and booted it successfully. I used the "recovery" option in the shutdown menu and that caused the bootloop, i never got into cwm
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Backwardsblade:
Did you compare md5's?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
I didn't, but it did boot up fine, which means it was a legitimate download right?

I think I'll just try to send it to asus and see what they can do since NVflash doesn't work

I would probably download again, check the MD5 and reinstall.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] boglwe:
keep this thread open, I would really like to know what the OP did to get out of this mess.

I would also like to know if other peeps running Prime 1.6 can press the recovery button instead of shutdown for some testing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Q.Entity:
What kind of testing? I just did root a TF, backed it up, installed Prime, clicked the Recovery button and did a back up. Zero trouble.

I think this is my 7th or 8th root. People at work just keep bringing them to my office :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] housry23:
It sounds like you didn't have a Rom when you nvflashed. If you just downloaded nvflash file in the stickied unbricking post then you will format everything without putting anything back on. You need to Rom that was built nvflash and put it in the root directory of the nvflash folder. There are some stock Roms available somewhere & also a prime 1.4 nvflash. They will install a recovery and then you can flash whatever you want from there.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Dr3d5:
I am currently running Prime 1.6 and i did a recovery method the other day to update a rom and it worked just fine.

I did it since i updated from 1.5 to prime 1.6 and had to re install the Clemsyn-blades cause the overclocking rom got disabled after update...;)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll try the link that Q.Entity posted first.

Okay so the unbricking nvflash formats everything, meaning I can't boot normally because I have no ROM? Shouldn't I still be able to boot into CWM though?

Also, the prime 1.4 nvflash thread you're talking about is this right? If I follow that guide will it install prime 1.4 during the nvflash process? If so, that will probably solve my problem
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boglwe:
should work, but why stop there, I went ahead and popped on Prime 1.6 and then flashed a different kernel as well. I mean, I nvflashed from temp brick, perhaps like yours, and instead of flashing 1.4 prime I went ahead and did 1.6 since I already had the zip. I also at some point did the unbricking nvflash to stock rom, then used the pure root for tranformer method that includes CWM and then flashed Prime. regardless, both ways I was temp bricked. The key for me was knowing that I was in APX mode even though Device Manager in wndows 7 64bit did not show I was. Hope I could help, I am only speaking from my OWN experience with this device and prior mistakes.

EDiT: I also noted as some point that I could not get into recovery becuase I was not paying attention to my recovery screen. If all is correct, then when you hold down Vol- and power button, you are only given 5 seconds to press vol+ button to enter CWM.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
The batch pure root script didn't work for me, even though I tried nvflashing the stock boot.img and recovery. No matter what, I couldn't get out of APX mode. The transformer immediately turns back on and puts me back into APX mode after I turn it off. Device manager and the USB connect/disconnect sounds confirm this. I'm afraid there's no way to get out :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AustinMartin:
Why are you doing a pure root, after nv_flash. Why not just nv_flash prime 1.6 and be done? That will have everything working.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] boglwe:
Yep.. your doing things kinda backwords.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
I must be missing something... I'm reading over this guide but I can't perform any of those steps because adb does not work in APX mode. Also, when you say "nvflash prime 1.6" do you mean I can flash prime 1.6 without cwm? I thought nvflash was just a tool for rooting and flashing cwm only. In the guide I linked to, they flashed prime 1.4 using cwm, which I can't access.

I'd appreciate if someone explains this to me, I have no prior experience with nvflashing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AustinMartin:
You're mistaking flashing for nv_flashing.

nv_flash is run from your computer, and writes over the rom/kernel/cwm with whatever version is included in the directory you nv_flash over.

if you can't run adb, then you need to fix that first.

1-did you install the nvidia drivers? when you attach the transformer, do you end up with the device with no ! in device manager?

2-did you download all the adb software?

3-are you running commands from the directory where you put the adb software?

with the transformer in apx mode, using commands from your computer->cmd prompt, run

adb devices.

a device should show up, but even if it doesn't, you should be able to nv_flash over a new rom.

From this thread:

[ROM] PRIME! v1.6r2 | HC31 | Fast | Rooted | HMJ37.prime_epad-1.6-2011071

follow the part starting with:

NVflash version now available: http://kan.gd/up2

Uncompress the image files into a folder and see Androidroot.mobi for details on how to flash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
I'm pretty sure I know the difference, flashing means flashing a zip within clockworkmod recovery and nvflashing is running the batch script from my computer when the tablet is in APX mode right? It is to my understanding that adb does not work in APX mode, at least that's what I read somewhere.

I'll try your suggestion from the prime thread, it looks like that will nvflash a rom to my tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AustinMartin:
Also note the that other guide that you're following was put out June 1st, before nv_flash was available.

There's a lot of confusion on the other board, because these threads are kept alive long after they have been superceeded by easier methods.

I bricked my transformer trying the pure root method on 8.4.4.11 which ended up not being supported. I wish I would have known about nv_flash before that whole mess.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Vertiginouz:
It worked! I followed this guide per AustinMartin's suggestion and everything is working now, thanks to all for the responses!

I have edited my original post with the solution
