Is there any way to not have it wipe my emmc, I have pics and music on there cus my sd card is almost full....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2582:
Try Titanium backup, or get a bigger SD card, haha.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmckee.cna:
You know I'm talking about the internal storage card right? Not the system memory...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave2582:
Yes, I know what you're talking about. Try running Titanium backup on the apps. In the settings, it says the backups will include the data that goes with the apps.

But before that, download some music files, just pick a few random songs. When that's done, run the backup. After it's completed, delete the music files, and then do a restore from TBackup. If it restores those deleted music files, then it's safe to say to use Tbackup.

wipe

Totally deleted.:eek:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsmokey:
Your best bet is just copy everything you want to keep onto your pc or another external sd if you want to do a factory reset then you always have a backup if something ever happened, also make sure you have contacts backed up to your sim if your device takes one and do a titanium backup of all your apps and data and copy the folder ti makes with the back up over to your pc too, thats all titanium does is back up apps and associated data for those apps. After that you'll always have your data safe as long as your hard drive doesn't crash down the road.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsmokey:
Cool glad you found an answer, I just like to keep everything backed up elsewhere incase something goes wrong especially the efs folder in the root directory as certain roms I've heard can change things around in there and cause some issues down the road.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott56:
Hi,

So I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S II, and I've been trying a few different ROM's found on this site. The last thing I did was actually revert back to a stock Samsung Kernel and firmware. This worked fine, but it unrooted my device, which I knew would happen, but now I'm not able to root it again because when I put the device into download mode, ODIN, or better yet, my computer won't detect the device.

I have all the drivers installed, and I also deleted them all, and Kies, and started from scratch again after searching XDA for similar issues.

I don't believe this to be a driver issue, since I was able to root my device, and swap roms before I went back to the official kernel and firmware. I'm with Bell in Canada, so the versions I went back to were not the official Bell versions, since Samsung has not made them available.

I have a Mac, but I've been using Windows 7 and Odin under VMWare. I can connect my device to either OSX, or Windows 7 when the device is not in download mode, and everything works fine, and Odin detects the device (Not that that does any good of course)

When I connect the device under download mode, the Mac detects the device and asks me if I want to connect it to my Mac, or to Windows (As it should) but no matter which one I select, neither OS acknowledges the device after that point, where as when I'm not in Download mode, both OS's detect the device fine.

After all my troubleshooting with my computer based off of what I found online here, The only conclusion I have left is that there is something missing on the device that allows it to be found under download mode, but that aspect of all this is beyond my current skill level.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Are you pressing the Volume Up button to continue in Download mode? Besides, Virtual machine isn't recommended I think.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott56:
Yes, Once the Custom ROM warning comes up, I press the Volume up button to continue.

That wasn't even necessary on the Stock Bell ROM. The warning didn't come up at all.

VM has been working fine up until now, so I don't think that's the problem, but I have been thinking of trying this on my old laptop that runs on windows if nothing else pans out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juevani:
Have you found anyway to Make Odin recognize to phone in download mode?? Im still struggling with that. my phone is on stock kernel and not rooted yet, ODIN finds it fine when the phone is on and USB Debugging is on, but once I put the phone on download mode it wont recognize it, I dont know why..

Could it be because of the ''SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device'' driver failed to install correctly??

all other drivers are installed correctly.. I have tried to get the driver mentioned above to install correctly but it fails every time, with USB debugging on and off, i have wiped the phone and installed Kies and the drivers several times, Im clueless right.. anyone have any idea please help??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimplyD:
I myself am also suffering from this problem. However, USB seems to function fine while the phone is booted up or in recovery (For ADB). I'm wondering if necessary files may have become corrupted or deleted in reference to USB drivers (phone side mind you) that are used in download mode.

edit: It's also recognized in recovery mode.

Even if it can't be fixed I'd still like to understand why.

-Simply D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TogTheGreat:
was looking for help on this and saw this thread, same problem too..

Connects to Odin and Kies fine when switched on "normally", can use USB mass storage mode Etc.

comes up with a USB device has malfunctioned message on PC when I connect USB cable when switched on and in download mode

EDIT:- just to add, if I try upgrading firmware via Kies it gets to the point where it switches the phone to download mode to upgrade it and has the same issue even with an official upgrade
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimplyD:
Figuring download mode is outside the normal boot procedure, I hoped on an off chance that pulling my battery and sim for a few minutes would reset it. It did indeed. Download mode is now functional again, just to be certain I tested it right before pulling the battery to make sure it was still broken. And multiple flashes and reboots afterwards seem to confirm that it has returned to normal.

Anyone else who solves it with this method, please report back. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] syypher:
I did a search function for the 3D Q&A section already and couldn't find any answers...

My phone sometimes restarts all on it's own. I will be browsing a website or just swiping through my windows and it just restarts randomly. It will come back all the way up and be fine but it's annoying. It doesn't happen very often, rarely in fact. But I highly doubt this is suppose to be happening.

Any ideas?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Are you on a custom ROM / kernel? If so, perhaps look thru that custom ROM / kernel thread and see if there are any other similar issues. Feel free to post in that custom ROM / kernel thread to let the dev knwo the issue you're experiecing and provide as much background as possible to help them troubleshoot.

I haven't had this happen on my EVO 3D but for the most part I've been on a stock rom and kernel.

This definitely shouldn't happen on a stock rom and kernel. If it is, then its a very good reason to bring it back for an exchange as it would probably indicate some type of hardware issue.

If you want to get into some of the technical details, feel free to adb pull or cat your /proc/last_kmsg file after the device has rebooted as this file will hold the previous kernel log and usually will show some information regarding the reboot. from what i've seen in the past, its usually a kernel panic of some sort...

Hope that helps!

But how do I flash the downgrader??. If I double click on the downgrader it asks me what I want to use to burn the file?.

I am trying to get my wifes desire to have a custom rom as it keeps saying she is low on memory. I have used revolutionary to change from hboot 1.02 to 6.93 with s off but now do not have a clue what to do. I have been trying to read up on what to do all day but everything speaks as though I should know exactly what to do from the off!.

Give me my HD2 any day!!! lol

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Scotty.
[Desire General] itachi1706:
Download the img, rename it to PB99IMG.img and place it on the root of your sdcard. Then boot into hboot (while the phone is off, press volume down + power button), click vol up button to apply update and again to reboot. Now its flashed. Then you can continue with the RUU.
[Desire General] tuktukscotty:
Cheers.

Will try it once again.....
[Desire General] danarama:
Why do you want to do that?

There is a downgrader.img on the alpharev website which if you fastboot flash it to replace the existing hboot, will then allow you to use a RUU. Choose a RUU that has the hboot you want and run it. Of course this will unroot your phone. What is your actual aim here?
[Desire General] InMyBedNow:
Downgrade from HBOOT 6.93.0002 to 0.93.0001

Guys, if you ORIGINALLY had 0.93.00001 and ran the Revolutionary S-OFF program, it WILL update your HBOOT to 6.93.0002. This is a GOOD thing, you'll still be S-OFF'd but you'll be running the Gingerbread HBOOT version. It's always better to have the newer version of the HBOOT than the older version. As long as you're S-OFF'd, it really doesn't matter which HBOOT version you have, I just recommend the newer version. Thanks! :D

---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

That's exactly what I said LOL (: There's no use downgradnig HBOOT's if you're already S-OFF'd with 6.93.0002
[Desire General] itachi1706:
For your information, GB Hboot is 1.02.0001 not 6.93.0002. 6.93.0002 is revolutionary hboot and if htc sees that highly likely they will not place it under warranty.
[Desire General] dragokanev:
Hi everyone I needed to dowgrade because I wanted to use Alex-V's new 1.7.5 HD rom wich requires custom hboot but apparently the revolutionary one is newer hence the need of dowgrade but it was all a bit confusing for me aswell (no ofence and big thanks to all of you that are trying very hard to make it as simple as possible for us) so at the end just before I give up I put the downgrade img from AlphaRev's site in android flasher and it was all done in 1.6sec

PB99IMG Method - Downgrading HBOOT to stock

If I'm not mistaken in all the posts I read on XDA about downgrading the HBOOT, I never came across with a hint that: "Remember that your memory must have one partition, otherwise the PB99IMG.zip method wouldn't work!"

That's so ridiculous, but according to this I tried removing all the other partitions (I mean 4EXT) and just left the whole memory in one partition and in FAT32. As I rebooted into Bootloader, it identified my PB99IMG.zip -which is the PB99IMG_downgrade I downloaded from Alpharev.nl- and rebooted.

So I could downgrade the HBOOT to - Stock 0.93.0001- to run my favorite ROM Nikez's ICS, with all the features working.

Only 1 Partition on SD and in FAT32!
[Desire General] ze7zez:

I am the following setup on my Charge

Voodoo based kernel; regular and over clock

Sd card read fix patch

EE4 fully stock up to date

CWR 4.x.x.04 - the one without voodoo options

This is my second incident with card going bad. The first time I used it for two weeks and card became unreadable. Tried reformat from the phone and on CWR level without any success.

On second ocasion phone worked also two weeks without any issues - till I suddenly got on power up "bad card" pop up. Tried to reformat - failed.

I booted into CWR and to my surprise I was able to browse the card. I deleted cache, Davlik, boot part, reapplied voodoo and ovclock kernels, reapplied card read error pathch - in all possible sequences without much susccess. I do not have voodoo controls under my version of CWR (too bad) and since I do not have memory card - I cannot download and install 3rd party voodo control to try to enable and disable and see if it makes a difference.

I am without access to my pc for a week so Odin or repartitioning lwith pit file and full stock reflash are not an option for me right now. I tried mount SD on a windows machine - without much success as it sees is un formatted. CWR sees it without issues and let's me reflash kernel and patch zips.

I am sure that I will get it working eventually - but would like to ask our opinion AFAYK what is going on? I hate having to lose my cards with pics and data with is not backed up regularly. This is my first device I lost an SD card.

I am assuming that it is related to the voodoo Linux based file system. do you think running a full stock on a voodoo has anything to do with it?

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Droid Charge] Piercing Heavens:

You might have a bad device that keeps toasting your cards. Have you tried viewing your card in a Linux machine?

You said you were able to mount your sd on a windows machine. Any reason you can't use that machine and odin off of it? Its just a quick download away.

I do not have access to a linux box. Factory reset, Odin and options under CWR are the only options that I usually use. Can I test my phone without a Linux box?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
I was just thinking Linux might try to force read it since it ignores file permissions etc. Also, you can't format the SD card within CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] garryo:
It was not my computer - I just wanted to test if i can see sd card on a wintel box. In the long run I do not mind doing the pit file with full stock flash - I just do not want to find myself burning more cards
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
If you fix it and it does it again i would definitely go to a Verizon store and have it checked out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Piercing Heavens:
Use a small sd card sufficient enough to do everything you want to. If it happens again take it to verizon fully stock and they should replace the phone and SD.
[Verizon Droid Charge] garryo:
Just to add more to the puzzle

I have second Charge absolutely the same setup.

When I tried to load SD card that is unreadable on the original Charge on the phone level

- I get the same damaged card error.

CWR on both phones can read it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
Just out of curiosity, are these 32gb cards?

Android has a known issue with 32gb cards getting corrupted if they are not formatted with a 32kb allocation size.

The workaround is to re format the card with your windows PC to FAT32, 32kb allocation size. Do a full format, not the quick format.
[Verizon Droid Charge] garryo:
The two cards that got damaged are leftover cards from my fascinates. 16GB. One of them was reformatted and the other one was not - just reused it the moving all files from root folder to a folder called "Old" ( while mounted on my pc)

I used to be on an non Voodoo kernel/rom on my fascinates, when I installed voodoo kernel on Charge - file system got converted (per female voice)

Apparently I am not the only one with this problem

I stumbled upon this

http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-charge/111200-wiping-sd-card.html#post1179362

Looks like that reusing a 16 GB card from fascinate is the issue in both instances.

I am still eager to learn what is the issue?

@Racer

Is it related to a different block size that is used by Samsung to format SD s on Charge? do you have more details on it? Do you know if I can possibly salvage my cards?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Racer447:
It is a problem with the interaction between android and some firmwares in the sdhc cards. It isn't really something that is Samsung specific.

I did some research on it and it solved my problem (similar to yours) that I had with my PNY 32gb class 10 card.

I would definitely try formatting your cards with a windows pc, full format, fat32, 32kb allocation size before I gave up on them.
