[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vadexlux:
kudos Erahgon, it worked!

FYI I didnt even use a card reader, used the phone itself (too lazy to search for a reader at home)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Srry guys, was outta town for a few days!

@vadexlux: Good to hear that it works from your phone as well!

@lbraddx : If it's not accessible even in Windows, your card is probably corrupted. Do a quick format in Windows, then use a data recovery software to recover your files. After that, format using the method in the first post, and remember to back-up your files.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] iming88:
I've used above method but still failed..i flashed another CWM also failed. is there any other way?

please help me my phone is dead for a week now :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Can you access the card from your phone? Can you access it from your computer?

What are the specs. of the SD card?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] iming88:
cannot access from the phone. but when i flash with odin there is part saying 'error can't mount sdcard-skipped wipe data' but when i check the sd card from my pc its empty and i lost all my file in sd.

here another weird thing, you said the 'sdcard' in CWM is the external sd. I can't mount 'sdcard' but I can mount 'sd-ext'; when i took out my sdcard then I can't mount 'sd-ext'. so I think in my case 'sd-ext' is my sdcard. thanks for replying though. can you figure out my problem?:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Erahgon:
Flashing with ODIN? What were you flashing with ODIN? When you flash with ODIN it doesn't do anything to the external-sd card.

Have you done an internal-external sd swap? If so, and you want to flash a new firmware using ODIN, you must re-partition (i.e. Use the latona pit file) and then proceed with the flash. After the flash, you may once again swap the external and internal sd cards. I haven't tried this, so this is just my best guess. If this doesn't work, try using your old vold.fstab file (read this thread for more details).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] iming88:
still no luck :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Relaxasaurus:
Fascinate owner here. Had the same issue with CWM red (3.x) and Green (4.x).

All I did was reformat the card in Android. You have to unmount it in Settings > SD Card. Then simply Format. All your data will be erased but CWM will be able to read your card again.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] BigBugHmb:
WOW... I have THAT trouble too (on a I9100!), read this (googled) post and think.. "hmmm.... all other works fine with the ext. SD-Card... that can't be the fix..."

BUT i test the fix and OMG!... Now all CWM troubles gone! PERFECT!

Thank you very very much! I love the XDA community! *smak* ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Gamer2:
Is there any way to do the same for the internal sdcard coz my external sdcard reads fine but internal phone memory as well as internal sdcard are corrupted!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] eddykuhan:
WOW

hi dude..its works like..hapi man!!!Thanks alot!:D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] 3to4:
I have been seaching for this problem, and I was lucky enough to come across your post. After formating my SD card within android, the problem is solved, and now I can backup to and restore from my external SD card. I am using Galaxy Tab 2.

Thank you!!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
this error has haunted our device... thanks a lot.. we can now live in peace :p

SD card formatting

I too am suffering from an SD card with xFAT formatting. I downloaded the above mentioned formatter and when I was done, my desktop PC running Vista wouldn't recognize the card when I open My Computer. I tried with several other putable formatters with same result. Twice I have reinserted the card with FAT32 formatting and still I cannot perform a nandroid backup to my external card, continuing to report that I cannot mount backup path. To reinstall all my data onto my card I need to reinsert it into the phone and drag and drop that way which takes an inordinant amount of time. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lister Of Smeg:
Hi [MENTION=4017954]Erahgon[/MENTION],

Thank you so much, following these instructions has made my phone come alive again.... thank you so much!!!

Cheers, Lister
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Runes:
Thanks mate - this worked for my Xperia Arc S too! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tofleplof:
Not sure this will be relevant to anyone in 2021 but what the SD Formatter tool actually does is create a non-LBA FAT32 partition (partition id "b") and fs starting at sector 8192 instead of the traditional 2048. Not sure whether it's the LBA partition ID or the starting sector that CWM doesn't like, though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
This thread is not the focal point for all discussions relating to running Win7, Win8 or WinAnything on the Tab 10.1.

It has been formed by merging some of the largest and oldest Windows-on-Tab threads into one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Alex DK:
Windows 7 or Windows 8 on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Hello

Is it possible to install Windows 7 or Windows 8 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jhughesy:
Windows 7 doesn't work on the processor inside the tab. Windows 8 will but that version hasn't been released. Only the intel version has.

Would love Windows 8 on my tab.

Watch this space, I guess...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jesdaking:
S galaxy 10.1 and win 8 possible?

I have heard that windows 8 is gonna support the intel chip in the samsung galaxy tablet 10.1. will it be possible to install this OS on this tablet someday..

Jesper.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stoney73:
For starters....it isn't an Intel chip in the 10.1. Its the NVIDIA Tegra 2.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mullemulle86:
Nvidia is Intel....
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jesdaking:
Hmm sorry but i am not sure if its intel! .. but the main thing is will it be possible to install windows 8. it would be fantastic.. i think its a ARM-based chipset but heard that it shuld be similar to the Tegra 2..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] tjdwowh:
Umm.... What?!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] steve664npc:
Errr... nVidia is most certainly NOT Intel!

No back to the thread - why on earth would you want to put Windows, aka bloatware, on an Android Tab?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jesdaking:
And i ask why not??

Why the hell do someone want to put android on a iphone! and some one did!

I think it would be cool.. but i dont think you are not a windows fan.. lol!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stoney73:
I wouldnt want windows 8 on my tablet...but I can see why some people might be interested.

nvidia is not intel though. they may licence some technologies from each other, but they aren't one and the same. If they were. then why would intel be bothering with the medfield chips?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] steve664npc:
Errr... nVidia is most certainly NOT Intel!

No back to the thread - why on earth would you want to put Windows, aka bloatware, on an Android Tab?

But you haven't answered the question? I asked why on earth would you want to put Windows 8 on an android tablet?

It seems silly to me that's all - but that's just my opinion
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xTONEx:
If dual boot was possible why would u not want to put win 8 or any other OS on it? I thought that was the point of being "open" why do so many touchpad users want android???
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
Actually windows8 might surprise you. it is not bloatware as in previous windows

Nvidia uses arm architecture intel uses x86. Windows 8 is being designed to support lean hardware like ARM based SoC. It will supports 2 modes - traditional windows called desktop mode and touch based called metro. Its tile based metro UI is more elegant than android and shoul work with both x86 and arm devices. X86 will habe an edge as it will work woth traditional windows as well as Metro while arm can only work with metro assuming they fix all the headaches related to arm
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jesdaking:
Why should i answer that question.. The only thing you are saying is that windows 8 is silly.. ????? And the Answer is that i dont think so.. lol. I just like to try everything to have a oppionon. Im not a FANBOY! that just try one thing only.

and you are calling it android tablet why? its a samsung galaxy tablet 10.1 and i like to call it windows tablet soon. hehe
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joseamirandavelez:
Me too! This is a Samsung tab that runs Android. Not an Android tab made by Samsung! If dual boot is possible I want it!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wewewi999:
Well sorry to blow out your dreams but Windows 8 ARM wont isnt coming 'til 2013 and it WONT be available as OEM or retail disc in any way.

It will be embedded into the slabs, just like Android.

But since it is NOT open source, you just will NOT be able to add it afterwords.

THERE WILL BE NO WINDOWS ON THE GTAB 10.1. EVER.

Dual-Booting a Windows 8 ARM tablet with Android might be possible, but not the opposite.

That being said; just wait to see the price of the Windows-based slabs; itll be a good 200$ over the comparable Android-based slab.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Unfortunately, I agree with everything here, except the word "ever." I think there will be folks rocking the GT10 when Win8 gets leaked and built, but by then this will be a "legacy device." I'm really looking forward to having a windows 8 tablet, but it won't be the galaxy tab 10.1
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
yep microsoft UEFI Secure Boot technology might make it near impossible to dual boot win 8 and android ON devices built for windows8 - but i have faith in the dev community to port Win 8 onto android first devices- not that i would use it anyway
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jesdaking:
Crap totally foregot about microsoft UEFI Secure Boot technology!

but when the windows 8 tablet are out..

i just buy a windows tablet ;-). And sell my lovely SG tab 1.10. but ICS is gonna be great to!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Arkanius:
Windows 8 has ARM support

It's totally possible if someone sinks time and resources into it

It's unlikely though...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joseamirandavelez:
You guys really underestimate hackers...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] m125:
You're really underestimating a multi-billion dollar corporation.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] norpan111:
Hackers hacks into FBI, you saw what anonymos did after megaupload? Your argument is invalid
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] norpan111:
We just need some MAGLDR :) hd2 folks know!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
Yeah and you saw what the zetas did to anonymous members
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joseamirandavelez:
Nope, I don't. They can do whatever counter measures they want... There's always a way to get in... You'll see. It's just a matter of time and great minds...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] joseamirandavelez:
Just read about that. They supposedly kidnapped an Anonymous member. I hope they release the names. The Zetas have caused a lot of damage...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t%20g:
So its clear that windows 8 on gtab 10.1 is nearly impossible due to its UEFI secured boot, drivers or what ever...

Instead, get dual boot of android and ubuntu/arch which is easily possible.

Is there a something that ubuntu cant do(i mean except these KIES, itunes, pc suits and these stuff)?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yogeshmha:
Intel is Nvidia :D :D

must be a noob
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] shawnwojcik:
If that were true. The Xbox 360 wouldnt be hacked consistently after every attempt by m$ to stop it.

I agree with the op. I am hoping one day we will be able to dual boot an android tab with win 8. There are some things that would be way easier to do with full fledged windows rather then a remote desktop app.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wewewi999:
You have to be blind or worst not to see the HUGE gap between by-passing a couple locks and installing a mostly working yet totally different and not open-sourced OS.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] shawnwojcik:
Yeah worst... Even though nothing of Microsoft is open sourced. Someone always seems to crack whatever they release weather it's a "couple of locks" or whatever they come out with. You don't know anything more about what your talking about then I do. So please keep spouting your nonsense. As I'm sure it will help the community.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] guih:
Quite simply:

No. Not ever.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wtgserpant:
I hope not ................. :)

Windows 7 is x86 and X64 versions only but GT 10.1 has an arm processor .... so its not possible to port Windows 7!

As for Windows 8 , even though it has an arm version, it has not reached the hands of developers so for the time being Windows 8 port is not possible!

But lastly, since Windows 8 or 7 are not open like Android I personally doubt anyone would bother spending countless hours of wasted time to just port OSs which would never work properly ......................

Hope this answers everything! :cool:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gfreeman86:
I think we really don't need Windows on our great tablet...but it would at least be interesting...:rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Misledz:
I won't lie, the Samsung hardware has passed in terms of Hardware Acceleration and Mango and iOS are completely Hardware Accelerated OS's it could be possible as we meet the desired specs to run it. Also it would be nice to get a taste of which OS performs better.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview on Galaxy Tab 10.1?

Microsoft just released Windows 8 consumer preview!

I know that this is too early to ask, but is it possible to get a build running on our tabs? Your thoughts?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
Its been asked. The answer was yes, no, and why would you even dare?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yogeshmha:
Let's hope someone gets it loaded
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
Let's not. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] burhanistan:
It's not for ARM devices, so no.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
I think Misledz showed this should not make this answer correct. In the other thread.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] yiannisthegreek:
Windows is starting to make some real strides and changes in their approach to their OS and it is cool that they are trying to "mesh their mobile and PC OS's into a seemingly seamless unit. I say good on them and why NOT hope this will be possible?

A dual boot with an ARM version of this would be cool.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Benzoman:
Sorry....I was not relating this thread to just this single one. Windows and tablet meshing

would probably be a good thing for people who like to pay instead of doing things for themselves.

I was confusing this thread with one that stated Windows 8 = end of android. Now that is a thought that can cause nightmares for many.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] burhanistan:
Nope, no ARM version released as yet. So, unless you can prove otherwise, it's not possible to run Windows 8 on an Android tablet yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] animatechnica:
Yep no windows on arm yet , and since there are few sightings in MWC, we might not see it till 2013 and when it comes out it will be specific for the latest qualcom, TI, and Nvidia SoC only
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] wtgserpant:
Windows 8 ............... who need that! :P

I am pretty sure the chances of porting Windows 8 to an android devices almost = porting IOSto Android devices since developers do not have excess to the source code ............. but I would ask no one to even bother to do so, Just a waste of precious time! :cool:

That's a fake :P That wanker is using a themed TouchWiz, notice how the lockscreen sounds and animations are all Samsung defaults? And not Mango based?

As far as I know DonateLauncher7 does the same features. Atleast most of them.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Misledz:
Don't trust that link, the wanker is just using a skin ,MangOS has a very plain and grungy look to it, and Windows 8 for tablet's would be based over mango OS and not the actual 2GB OS LOL.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] guut13:
Agreed. It looks to be a Windows 8 launcher, similar to the WP7 one here... https://market.android.com/details?...sMSwyLDEsImluZm8udGlrdXdhcmV6LmxhdW5jaGVyMyJd

But, if you are looking for Windows 8 on a tablet, it wouldn't be a bad alternative. Throw in a remote desktop app (and a pc to connect to) and you can get pretty close to the real thing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] norpan111:
Agree
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] pkchips:
mmhmm... however, Android and Windows Phone 7 (closed source) work on the HTC HD2, originally a WM6.5 phone.

So it certainly is possible to e.g. put iOS on an android device.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] markbaker.avalon:
When Microsoft originally previewed Windows 8 sometime last year, it was shown on a transparent tablet device but didn't show any signs of who the manufacturer was. What I have since heard that rather than an Intel based device, they used an ARM based tablet not to dissimilar from our GTab 10.1.

There will be an ARM sdk kicking around somewhere for windows 8, its just a case of getting your hands on it and then giving it to one of the XDA gods to create a build image that can somehow be pushed to the device. I know its all theory right now but the fact remains that the sdk is real and does exist so that means it is possible.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xboxfanj:
Exactly, just very difficult. I would imagine we could do something similar to the hackintosh thing considering there are devices with tegra and w8. we would probably need for there to be an install disk though and idk if ms is gonna do that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] foxmeister:
That's not exactly a fair comparison though.

The HD2 (WM6.5) was *extremely* similar in terms of hardware, to the Desire HD (Android) and the HD7 (WP7), so getting either Android or WP7 working on the HD2 wasn't such a chore because any closed source drivers would have likely been compatible with its hardware anyway.

It's certainly not *impossible* to put iOS on an Android device, just very, very difficult without an Android hardware platform that is at least broadly similar to an iPhone. Even if you did achieve it, you'd be on the wrong side of an Apple "cease and desist" order (or worse) within minutes of posting it up anywhere!

Dave

If it would possible I think it wouldn´t be fun. I am sure it would be very slow like OSX on PC.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] johnblaze00:
didn't MS show off a windows 8 (ms as in balmer) on a arm tablet with 512 ram? a dual core ARM with a gig of RAM should fare well you would think?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sRs DoLLaR mEnU:
Osx isnt slow on my core i7 hackintosh :-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] norpan111:
Compared to Ubuntu?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] decatf:
CrashCrashCrash was most likely referring to the early hackintosh days when most people were using mid to low spec systems and it truly was a hacked together system.

It seems Microsoft has been testing / developing the ARM version Windows 8 with Tegra 2 at some point but that does not necessary bode well for Tegra 2 devices in the future. They will no doubt be targeting newer devices so I think at best Tegra 2 users might get a super hacked together version of Windows 8.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] DSBMudkip:
I'm not sure if I want the full windows 8 experience, although some of the stuff they're including in the OS is pretty cool... I also think that metro is a rather bold and cohesive design aesthetic.

What they are doing from a design standpoint is innovative, which is a term that I don't usually associate with microsoft...

Anyways skydroid UI should be released soon for all of us who dig that metro thing.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] droiduzr2:
How did that 25 digit Microsoft Serial Key work out?

I think what you fail to understand about human nature is the fact that when you tell them it can't be done they tend to find a way to do it.

Have you ever flown in an airplane?

You are using a tablet right?

How about that cellphone you own?

Cloning, right they did that too, hello Dolly.

Space X, ready for lift off.

Computing is infantile. I am quite certain someone has the means to release a super "virus" to shut down or infect essentially all computers if they wanted to. Banks have all the money and the best equipment for security yet they get hacked into daily...and that's the ones you know of.:eek:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] j.go:
Even if someone manages to rip win 8 out of some tablet, the biggest stumbling block would be how to get the Tegra 2 hardware to work with win 8. Unless MS releases a win8 tablet with Tegra 2 hardware, drivers are going to have to be built from scratch. I have no doubt someone with a lot of time on their hands might one day be able to boot up win8 on our gtab, but I don't expect much functionality from it besides turning it on/off, and abysmal battery life.

Much of the ICS work on the tab used hacked 3.2 drives or have been reversed engineered. Win 8 is a completely different OS and I doubt you can reverse engineer drivers for android to work on win8 just as you can't hack win7 drivers to work on OSX or Linux. Of course, I may be wrong. One thing I'm sure off, by the time win 8 for ARM gets released, most of us gtab owners would have moved on to newer devices.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] alexcolodner:
This is not true. Microsoft has confirmed that the there will be an version of Windows 8 compatible with ARM Processors. Tegra 2 used ARM architecture so it should be possible at some point. This version has not been released yet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RavenY2K3:
Yeah, but it'll be a closed installation, installed at OEM level, there won't be any "installation media" that contains the ARM build and going by the fact there is only one device I know of that was able to have Windows mobile 7 ported to it (the HTC HD2, because it was essentially the same phone as another HTC device that came with WP7) I don't think we'll ever see the fully fledged Desktop OS, Windows 8, on our tabs. Even "IF" there was the smallest possibility it could be ported, it would take so long and so much development, it wouldn't be worth the hassle, we'd be on Galaxy Tab 10.1 version 10 by the time it ever got bootable.
