[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
At the present moment I think that HTC switched to ext4, at least when looking the update_script of the new OTA 2.10.401.8:

# Script Version: G2.3

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "system", "/system");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p28", "/system/lib");
...
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "userdata", "/data");

EDIT: after checking my current file system (Stock 2.10.401.8) it appeared that all partitions (system, data, cache and devlog) are ext4

but when I purchased my device with version 1.28.401.1 and got the guts to S-OFF it (at the end of July) all my partitions were ext3 and I converted them manually using 4EXT Recovery. Maybe flashing a custom ROM converted the partitions from ext4 to ext3 I do not know...

I am not claiming 100 % accuracy in this information, but Revolutionary supports only hboot 0.98.0000 (from version 1.28.401.1) and hboot 0.98.0002 (version 1.47.401.4) so I suppose the most of the fault cases around are users like me that S-OFFed with ext3 but most of them that faced this problem had the ClockworkMod recovery (flashed by the Revolutionary exploit) which was not offering file system conversion at that time (not sure about the latest versions) and never converted as I did.

Cannot say for sure also for the Stock users that prefer to send the device for repair after failure with Market updates instead of making a mess with custom recoveries and RUU flashing. Maybe is this case a /cache wipe will do the trick (BTW the Stock recovery has an option "wipe cache")...or like this guy that fixed it with a hard reset and a new SDcard.

More or less the fact that the new version of the Market is updating the apps one by one and has a button to stop all updates at once is made by a reason...
[HTC Desire S] MS.:
My wife's DS originally had:

system - EXT4

data - EXT3

cache - EXT3

The phone was purchased 3-4 months ago and had 1.28.401.1 firmware on it if i recall correctly. BTW, she got famous M4G2DE chip...
[HTC Desire S] al89nut:
So does the ext4 update mean the problem is fixed? Not that I want to experiment
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
I agree with that. Most plausible theory i read about eMMC fries/corruptions. You've been helping people get out of this crap (i call it crap because it's HTC's fault, cheaping out on us) for a long time now.

What i don't understand is this - when downloading multiple apps from market (i had 2 - Angry birds, ES file explorer), the phone goes to sleep mode, and NEVER wakes up. No ADB, no 3 key combo, NOTHING. This leads to an unavoidable battery pull, which results in corruption like you said above. Why does the phone enter this "Sleep of Death" if you may call it? What the hell is the problem? Also, why not other HTC devices? (for that, i guess the answer is the unique slide out battery, only in 2 other devices - Bliss and Radar, whose battery can't be removed). If we can solve the "Sleep of Death" mystery, we'll get this issue out.

(More info - http://bit.ly/rXhDRR and http://bit.ly/v3lsS6 )

Also, DS (and all new HTC devices) are EXT4 by default. Flashing (not s-off'ing, but flashing a ROM after that) changes back to EXT3. That is probably why my phone survived the battery pull i did as said above. (It was freshly s-offed by XTC Clip, stock ROM).

Finally, i think this only happens to devices with already screwed eMMCs. Mine survived many battery pulls after the first one. The screwy ones are region specific. I never read anyone from India had the issue.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I am not quite sure...

Also

The 3 key combo on Desire S performs a hard reset, 2 key combo boots to bootloader from a shut down state, but no combination for a force shutdown when powered on.

Taken from here

So from all the above is clear that the battery pull is the reason for this fault and I think that the deduction of the OP (post #1) is in the right direction, but unfortunately I do not have the required technical knowledge to comment.

For me the following is a must to avoid this problem:

always keep the USB Debbuging" ON in Settings

always disable "fastboot" option in Settings to prevent "hibernation" mode, i.e. running processes

keep your /cache clean (always wipe before installing anything)

stick to ext4 file system

if the device hangs anyway never pull out the battery, better wait it to be completely drained
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
The hard reset sucks. The one on my iPod touch ALWAYS works. You are stuck anywhere, hold home+power for 30 seconds, and there's a hard reset. This one rarely works
[HTC Desire S] tcchuin:
the snd time when my phone spoilt is when i accidentally pressed update all in market..

then the phone became sluggish and finally hanged.

as i've had experience and didn't dare to pull the battery,i used the hold buttons to restart method.I had to hold it for loonger time than usual(like 15 seconds ++)

after the phone's screen went oof,the phone never boot up again :(
[HTC Desire S] MS.:
Wait, so you've "fried eMMC" chip by pressing Vol up+Vol down+Power only?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Hard reset while downloading apps = Cache corruption. :(
[HTC Desire S] MS.:
OMG :( And i just got Desire S for myself. Now S-Off in progress, can't wait to see what eMMC chip i've got...

EDIT:

Feelin' lucky :) Going to format all partitions as EXT4 and flash CM7.
[HTC Desire S] iuss:
Just leaving this here for Google'ability. I've experienced a similar case on a Samsung device, equipped with a MAG8DD moviNAND (manuf. date ~10/2009). After pulling the battery the moviNAND died.

mmcblk1: mmc1:0001 MAG8DD 15.3 GiB
mmcblk1: error -110 sending status comand
[HTC Desire S] n0elite:
bumping for more attention.
[HTC Desire S] RolF2:
one more theory :

emmc has internal voltage regulator, that requare external decoupling capacitor.

from sandisk inand datsheet:

VDDi Connections

The VDDi (K2) ball must only be connected to an external capacitor that is connected to VSS. This signal may not be left floating. The capacitor’s specifications and its placement instructions are detailed below.

The capacitor is part of an internal voltage regulator that provides power to the controller.

Caution: Failure to follow the guidelines below, or connecting the VDDi ball to any external signal or power supply, may cause the device to malfunction.

The trace requirements for the VDDi (K2) ball to the capacitor are as follows:

• Resistance: <2 ohm

• Inductance: <5 nH

The capacitor requirements are as follows:

• Capacitance: >=0.1 uF

• Voltage Rating: >=6.3 V

• Dielectric: X7R or X5R

maybe there's PCB design problems (inductance), or too small capacitance of decoupling capacitor in DS ?
[HTC Desire S] abu busyra:
owh is it...

now wonder mine seems kaput already.

keep on restarting with the eMMC in, but ok after i take it out.

BTW, is this eMMC covered under warranty? as it cames together during purchase last time.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Do not confuse eMMC (device internal/embedded/ flash memory) with your MMC (SD Card).
[HTC Desire S] massi99:
Success

My desire s was also Bricket a month ago. I got eMMC crash and was very mad at myself, but I chose to send it in where I bought it. The bootloader was s-off and there was a diffrent radio, hboot or rom on desire s. 3 weeks later I received a sms "the phone was ready for pickup". So it's great that they have repaired my root phone. They had replaced the chip eMMC, and now my desire work again

Thumbs up for Elgiganten;)
[HTC Desire S] Akishima:
My case is exact the same as yours man,, :D

2 months ago, I got fried eMMC, unfortunately I already S-OFFed and Root my device, but I send it straight to the hTC care, and voila! 3 days later then call me and told me that my device are ready without any cost :D
[HTC Desire S] abu busyra:
owh...my bad. wrong interception back here. yes, it should be SD card.

shall i send my phone to service center with this issue. hope just SD card issue, not eMMC.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] metalhernan:
Hi guys, the thread is basically like the tittle. Why this rom is so slow with emulators and games, there is something missing? libraries? even with a Game Boy Color emulator the games are glitchin in some points with or without sound. Racing thunder or nova are the same...(even with the processor overclocked at 672MHz)

The ROM is CyanoCream Sandwich Lite.

I have installed chainfire3d...¿could be this part of the problem?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Echo6502:
Hi, metalhernan.

Are you using X10 mini/pro ?

If it so, you should be change the device to more high‐performance one or buy any gameboy :D

Because emulators needs a lot of ram for processing.

Cpu clock is important, but if don't have much of ram, it is no way to playing game with fun.

I want ask you.

Your question is [Why CyanoCream Sandwich is too slow with the games?], right ?

How many roms did you tried to played games with emulators ? and which rom ?

If you think CyanoCream Sandwich is too slow, so was you considered which rom is faster with emulators ?

Because I don't think X10 mini/pro is not enough spec for emulation :(

Some time I'm playing Gangstar and Dungeon Hunter on CyanoCream Sandwich v2.0, but I don't think tooooo slow.

You know why ? They are no need any emulators processing !!

If you feel like try it.

That's my opinion :rolleyes:

Sorry about my very bad English.

[HTC ChaCha] Mowgliro:
So, today i did the following:

-rooted

-installed ClockworkMod Recovery v4.0.1.0

-downloaded the available OTA Update available (mine was still 1.18.)

-pressed install, the phone powered off, loaded the image with Android with the exclamation mark above it and it's been like that for about 45 minutes now... is that normal ? How long should it take to update ?

What do i do ?

I am afraid to press the power button as I fear it will brick it.
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
once you have this image with the exclamation mark in red, you have to press the power button + volume up.

now you have to choose to update from SD Card...
[HTC ChaCha] Mowgliro:
Ok, got it !

Now, it says "Cannot mount SDCARD:downloaded/OTA_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.54.......Zip

Installation aborted."

I assume i must revert to Stock Recovery and then do it again, right ?
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
yep.

and to be sure, rename the file to "update.zip", since the recovery searches for this specific file name.
[HTC ChaCha] Mowgliro:
Which one should be renamed ?

Stockrecovery.zip or OTA_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.54xxxxxxxxxx.zip ?
[HTC ChaCha] astro11:
the OTA update.
[HTC ChaCha] Mowgliro:
Sorry for this but I'm stuck again.

I got the stockrecovery.zip from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1164468 but when I try to install it in CWM Recovery it says:

"E:Error in /sdcard/stockrecovery.zip

(Status 0)

Installation aborted."

What am I doing wrong ?

Isn't this the right Zip for me considering that I am trying to go back to Stock recovery for 1.18 and this one is for 1.33 ?

I just don't know how to

flash

to stock recovery ... :(

Ok, so I installed a clean 1.33 and after that I updated OTA 1.54.

But the way reverting to stock recovery is still a puzzle for me.

I tried with Terminal Emulator but it said that the file was not found on SDCARD.It was there, believe me.

I don't know, maybe someone will figure it out someday.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
To revert to stock recovery you should rename the stock recovery to PH06IMG.zip.

The OTA update can be named whatever you like as you will select it manually, but the recovery has to be PH06IMG.zip. If you need any other infos you can hit me up on GTalk or Yahoo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mahanddeem:
Hi

If I buy an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S 4G now and use it with my T mobile SIM card .. Will it have OTA update to Gingerbread 2.3.x ???? or I need to do it myself ?????

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I'm not sure but I assume if it's stock then you should be able to get GB. It's not OTA, though, you have to use Kies Mini to get it. If you want to do it yourself, though, Raver posted an ODIN version of stock KJ6 in the Dev section.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Even if it was unlocked, it can receive OTA updates. i had KB5 and my phone was unlocked and it wanted to upgrade to kd1 over the air. as stephen said, 2.3.6 is only through kies, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
Gingerbread is not OTA. You will have to use kies or have clockwork recovery installed and do it that way.

If you are staying stock use kies. How tos for both options are in the development section.
[Nook Color Accessories] jmo:
I live in Africa but will be travelling home for Christmas and recently purchased a refurbished Nook Color from B&N via ebay. I have read that the charger and cable are special and of pretty poor quality. My question is this...

If I have my Nook Color in Zambia and the power adapter and/or cable quit working am I completely hosed or can a normal micro-USB charge it (albeit more slowly)?

My experience with phones tells me that if the battery is completely depleted, it sometimes needs the OEM charger to charge, is this the case with the Nook Color? Can a basic microUSB charge a completely dead Nook Color?

Thanks. I would have no problem buying a backup if the quality weren't so poor. I can leave it charge overnight using the same stuff I use for my other devices.

Thanks.
[Nook Color Accessories] al mon:
Hi. I think its a must have. It charges the Nook Color so much faster. You may want to pickup 2 of the special USB cables as well since they're kind of fragile. The micro USB tips are easy to break and in Africa, a replacement is not easy to get.

You cannot use a standard USB cable in the Nook charger since its slightly different and pumps much more amps through it than the normal micro USB cable.
[Nook Color Accessories] mbear10:
It's been my experience that a standard USB cable will charge the NC, but it's much slower.
[Nook Color Accessories] tightwad:
Your second point is just false. A standard UBS cable (micro-USB) won't damage the nook. Instead of pushing more amperage it actually does less...it doesn't reach the high-power section within the nook anyway.

Computer USB ports can't push more than 500 mA safely so they are limited to that. The Nook charger runs at double that and thus charges the nook much faster than plugging it into the computer.

I use the nook cable with a palm wall charger unit with no problems. My nook unit was buzzing so I stopped using it.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Don't expect it to return until official AT&T Gingerbread with a kernel source drop (unless LinuxBozo can work his amazing reverse engineering magic on the now-broken MFC driver) - the fact that it works with stock kernels indicates it has some sort of new kernel dependency not satisfied by the UXKG3 source code drop.

Just checked opensource.samsung.com - still no new sources.

it is a little strange that the package was 40mb less than the last one but factoryfs is still the same size but i was able to extract it in ark. it did tell me the .tar was corrupt and to no surprise im stuck at the samsung screen.

im gonna try to loop mount it and dump the contents. maybe someone can run diffs and see what is different and make a mashup between kk3 and kk4. who knows.

samsung i997 newest leak ?

beastonprowl 21:41

i997uckk4 is not complete and corrupted

__________________________________________________

So, Sampro knows that the leak is corrupted. Looks like they took it down from sampro.pl and it also looks like they changed the Hotfile download. It no longer has the main elements.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
done but it will take an hour to upload. a bunch of it is corrupt. pretty much /app and /framework and /media are all that are useable... maybe...

edit, upload is done.

http://www.multiupload.com/6BFTX456FI

this is what ever i could get out of the corrupt rom. you might maybe be able to merge the framework and apps into another leak. i will also upload the kernel which seems to be functional. the modem may already be available from dman
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanElliott:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Przekret should watch his wording. "Without bugs" sounds more like a fully working leak...not just an uncorrupted one. You're gonna make everyone pee themselves.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] BadFishCM:
Woot! Another test drive!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
It should be fairly obvious by now that English is not his native language. Anyone who doesn't realize this gets what they deserve if there are bugs in the release. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Video works again! Maybe Przekret was right. No bugs so far.

Custom is needed for flashing themes & other rom's,

Cranky...

Is Anybody Out There?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:

[Samsung Infuse 4G] joho5:
Can you flash this with odin, or will it be a package you flash from cwm?

and I understand you cant root it, but if I wanted to go from this back to a custom rom, can I go back to stock with odin from a non-rooted rom like this one?

thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
Buggy?? the devs work hard to make sure these custom kernels are not "buggy"...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
As this is right now, you flash from Odin, use the PDA slot.
