hi Hopefully i am in Right section - not sure what is meant by Not posting a Rom ??

I have a Garmin Nuviphone a50 with android 2.1 , have successfully rooted phone with z4root, I am pretty sure I have partitioned my SD card tried on a mac with EXT-fuse and tried on a windows using mini-partition (as instructions on this site about Partitioning) both ways seem to work -

However here's my problem when i start up Link2SD application it always says :-second Partition not found - /dev/block/mmcblk0p2: - make sure you have 2 partitions both primary .

I partitioned with Fat32 and Ext2 (also tried with Ext3, Ext4 and few others) but always says same with link2sd.

Does anyone know how I can get my apps to SD card or what my problem is or have any suggestions . As i get that message space full so need to move some to SD card (phone supposed to come with 4gb internal memory, i have 16gb SD card also) why is it still full

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adam13omb:
So I have a serious issue with my Sprint Hero. I decided I would try Firerat's custom MTD partition. Unfortunately my phone decided that it would not be recognized by ADB at all. So naturally I end up with the exact error Firerat said that I would get if I didn't reboot through ADB

Quoted from his thread. So I try not to panic and attempt to start over from step 1. Except now I can't do that because the error just keeps happening. So I decided to restore the backup I made before I tried all this. Except I can't because it tells me that I don't have enough memory to do that. So I decide to just install a fresh CM7. Oh wait, I can't do that either because it just doesn't install anything and after telling me that it successfully installed it, I wind up staring at a white HTC loading screen for a million years.

So basically my phone is completely effed. I can't use the RUU to revert to stock so I feel I'm kind of out of options. Please for the love of all that is holy help me fix this. (Which was caused by my own lack of experience and sheer epic stupidity, so I blame no one by myself.)

Oh thank god for false alarms. After much work wiping and attempting to install I FINALLY got it working again. I panicked for nothing it would seem. Mods can close, delete, or whatever they want to do with this thread if they so deem.

For future reference, under the advanced section in a clockwork recovery is an option to reboot recovery. Use it instead of ADB, its much simpler.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
This is a long shot, but this is something I've love to know whether it is possble or not. I have heard a couple people say that they pulled this off.

Obviously, the R800x Xperia Play on Verizon is the stripped down version of the UK version. The R800i has the whole Sony Experience, and I wish to have that on mine. So I thought to myself, couldn't I just flash the R800i 4.0.A.2.368 UK ROM found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1221105

onto my R800x Xperia Play? And before anybody says it, I KNOW that the network won't work, no phone and no sms. Only Wifi would work. That is fine by me. I would be perfectly fine with this just being an Android WiFi gaming device with the whole Sony Experience that the R800x lacks.

I've tried flashing this R800i ROM with FlashTool, and it keeps failing. Which sort of surprises me, because a couple of others in the thread in the link I posted above claim that it worked for them. (I can't post there. Dev section. Not enough posts yet)

Is is just a fantasy that will never come true? Or am I simply doing something wrong? If I was not very clear about something, please let me know, and I will edit this post with corrections. Thank you for your kind advice or suggestions.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edokassiah:
i think its been confirmed that itll brick it someone tried to see if they could enable the sim card slot flashing a generic rom to the r800x yes the r800x has a sim card slot has a plastic thing covering it right behind/on top of the sd card
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
Well I'm not trying to enable the sim card slot. I just want the ROM on there so I can replace the horrible VCast with the Playstation Store, give me the Sony Ericsson widgets, basically all of the stuff that the R800i gets to have.

And since this phone is just my backup (WiFi only) device anyway, no network access does not concern me at all.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edokassiah:
yeah i get what ur saying but im sure itll brick it

i mean it if it was that easy why is there gsm roms and cdma?

keep trying is your bootloader unlocked? if not prolly y ur getting a failed error
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryocoon:
Actually, yes, this! I may not want the whole she-bang, but if I can find a way to replace the framework that wants to pull everything from the VZWapps store *shudder* then I would be a tad happier. Just replacing the "Play" app doesn't do it. So where is the framework that tells it where to go?

Second, I know there are portions of the SE Experience framework still in the R800x, as some of the widgets, when installed, still work. Also, there is something blocking the normal facebook app from installing an account hook like on other stock phones, even though the rest of the r800x is "stock". I think we can pretty much all see that the R800x was not "Stock" but rather just stripped. Almost all the hooks are still there, plus some that are VZW specific.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
UPDATE:

I have gone ahead and tried this, done some testing. So far, I'm making progress!

I have gotten the European R800i ROM on my R800x Xperia Play.

It boots up just fine (new boot animation).

However, I am stuck at one spot. I cannot do anything except bring down the notification bar, view the Xperia Play games when I slide out the gamepad (VCast is gone!), and change USB options when plugged into the computer.

Here are the steps that I have taken:

-Full stock restore with FlashTool

-Flashed doomlords boot.img with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

-Flashed frasertag's system.img with the command "fastboot flash system system.img"

-Flashed the system.sin from the R800i Firmware (I extracted it) with the command "fastboot flash system system.sin"

-Disconnected USB then turned the phone on. It boots just fine.

Now the reason that nothing actually functions at this point is because I only flashed the system.sin from the R800i firmware (this is just a theory!). Trying to flash the whole ROM in FlashTool will result in an error and fail. I have read in another post that a trick to bring full functionality (besides the network) is to create a Nandroid backup before flashing all of this, delete the system.img from the backup, then restore the Nandroid backup after all of the flashing is done. The restoration part has got me stumped so far..

I will keep trying, and will ask the guy who I got this idea from how he got past the restoring backup stage (where I'm stuck).

I am determined to make this work! haha

Yes my bootloader is unlocked.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edokassiah:
dam thats badass been alot of confirms that itll brick do us a favor and try inserting a sim card take the batt cover off and right under the sd card theres a sim card slot a piece of plastic is covering easily comes off see if it detects it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
During my experimentations, I bricked my Xperia Play a couple times. Luckily it must have been a "soft brick" or something, because I was able to restore it by doing a full restore to factory stock. Nothing else would register in the bricked state.

I do not have a SIM card for this phone at the moment. The only SIM card I have on me is the 4G card for the Droid Charge. :)

I tried restoring the Nandroid backups without including the system.img in the restore, and it still wouldn't fix the problem.

Here are a few theories I have on why it didn't work, and what might work:

-The Nandroid backup was from factory stock, and NOT rooted.

-The inability to do anything on the homescreen may be due to the lack of a launcher.

So what I'm going to try next is:

-Do a Nandroid backup while in a rooted state, and all of the Verizon related software removed. Try restoring that.

-Download the system dump from the R800i, and install the Launcher APK via ADB Shell.

Not giving up.

Search in development about using flashtool.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
I am sorry for "abandoning" this thread, but I got incredibly busy with school. Here is what's going on. I got good news, and bad news.

Bad news, I got the ROM to flash onto the R800x, but encountered problems to the point where it's not even worth posting anything for.

Good news, so instead, I took a good chunk of goodies from the R800i dump, and put it on the R800x. A good number of the stuff works, but some doesn't. All these apps/widgets come straight from the R800i.

I am not taking the credit for any of these finds. I am just sharing things that I have found after searching the internet high and low.

First is the SE launcher. This will make your phone look and act a lot like the R800i. This includes the SE app drawer, the folders, the dock and the "jiggly" movements. Everything works except for the themes. Here is a download link:

http://www.mediafire.com/?zuq8hsexodjk3bx

Next is the Playstation Pocket/Suite app. This is the official Playstation app from SE. On the R800x, the widgets work perfectly, the app works fine, and the game launcher looks beautiful. The only problem is that when going to the section to buy more games, it doesn't show any games available for USA. But that's what PSXperia is for. If you aren't familiar with PSXperia, you must check it out.

Here is the link for Playstation Pocket:

http://www.mediafire.com/?mmhduygvlmsjdim

Here is the Media Shortcut widget. This just lets you select music, wallpapers or videos all in one widget. This of course comes from the R800i.

http://www.mediafire.com/?w41bp8wr7d81rb8

Here is the Photo gallery widget. I really like this one. It revolves in a circular motion with your fingers. Works fine in portrait mode, but does not work in landscape for me.

http://www.mediafire.com/?1yuvjhf2f7m1b4l

[ROOT REQUIRED:] And lastly for now, here is the Sony Xperia Play game launcher WITHOUT the VCast. You must remove the Xperia Play game launcher, and VCast. You can remove these using Titanium Backup. Then install this one. This removed VCast for me, and instead gave an icon in the corner that takes you to the Xperia Play optimized games from the Android Market.

http://www.mediafire.com/?5kmog06w4s3qn3i

UPDATE: jgregoryj1 has posted a better and easier method to remove VCast. See his post below (it's #18). It's way simpler, but know that root is still required.

I cannot seem to get the SE R800i music widget to work without crashing. But of course, the R800x stock one and others work like normal, so oh well...

Again, I am not taking any credit for these finds. I just tried these things for myself, and I am now sharing them with any who are interested in making their Verizon R800x's look and feel like the way the Xperia Play was MEANT to look.

In closing, I just want to reiterate, I am very sorry about not accomplishing the task of getting the ROM to work 100% (it was still unusable). But for anybody who wants the R800i look, these should tide you over. :)

Thank you guys for your understanding, and thanks to everyone for making XDA such a good place.

:pI was able to get rid of the vcast market in the xperia play launcher by removing the vcast app from the /system/app folder and rebooting. If thats all you want to get rid of then just do that. The android market will then be in plce of the vcast. Although I have flashed te UK rom and have the full Timescape rom onmy phone for a few weeks now. Its pretty sweet and fast.

When I first attempted to flash the R800i ROM onto the R800x aways back, it flashed successfully. However, it was unusable. The screen was completely dimmed down, there was no cellular signal, and the only things I could do were drag the notification bar down, and open the Xperia Play game launcher by sliding the gamepad out.

Thanx for the reply TSBroich,

I want you guys to try something.... lot of people say r800x have GSM/CDMA auto (prl) Network type.. so im trying to see whether the sim-slot can get to work on GSM.

first we need enable GSM,

people say it is disabled in firmware, NOT hardware, so i believe if we can get to Flash R800i ROM .. or any Generic Global Firmware on r800x... it might enable GSM & sim might work... ?? what are your suggestions...

Lets give it a try please... sp. TSBroich please do... Thnxxx
