Long time user of RA.

Would like to try out Firerat's mod, so converting to use CWM Recovery v2.5.0.7, but when wiping had the same similar 'E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2' error message.

Anyone any suggestion? (Had tried google but seems like no good solution found).

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I had the same error message pop up, but I've gone ahead with all my normal routines of flashing and not had any problems. So I'm just going to ignore it for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Weird..after I had tried using CWM to do nandroid backup (deck ROM) and then nandroid restored back, I was not able to see apps that I had previously installed (presumably in ext)...so it's a fail for me on CWM, back to RA now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
Yes, something goes wrong when you try to mess with partitions again. I solved it by reflashing the recovery image (clockwork or amon ra, either will work I suppose).

Only later I tried to figure out what went wrong an found this in original Firerat's post:

Lucky guess :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
How did you get this working, and what ROM did you try it with? When the guide says format, do you use the wipe commands or do you select the "Mounts" menu in CWM and just select to format the given partition? Think i have tried both ways but both failed. Tried with Floyo 1.3 and now i have just flashed the new version of Decked, as i missed GB, and would like to try again.

So could you please guide me through the process?

Thanks :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
After you download necessary files create .txt file in sd card root called "mtdpartmap" and in it enter "mtd 100 30" (first number representing system memory and second cache(I use this settings)).

Put downloaded files also in root of sd card.

Reboot in recovery. Wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik.

Flash recovery file (one of those two files you downloaded is recovery and other is boot). It will ask you again to wipe everything after you do and then reboot in recovery, do it.

Flash desired ROM and everything that comes with it (gapps, kernel, fixes...).

Flash boot file.

Done.

Every time you flash something new (ie. kernel, gapps) you have to flash boot file afterwards.

I'm using this on Decked right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ChosSimbaOne:
Thanks mate, that did the trick for me, must have been the format function in the mount menu that messed it up. I had to up the 100 to 105 as otherwise it would not flash full gapp, but now its is greate.

Having one problem though, i can not install burn the rope, as it says my dev is full, but it doesnt really matter as it plays to slow anyways :-)

Thanks a bunch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
That's odd m running values of 95 30 n installed gapps fine,doesn't matter though:)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buralien:
After some fiddling, I can report success on latest speedmachine.

I did the above procedure with a restore instead of flashing new rom. I had to adjust the cache size so that it fit the data in backup (43MB). Before that I was not able to start the phone correctly - black screen instead of launcher.

I have a cache of 60MB now, anything less is causing issues.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Success finally! Using my another SD Card (format without ext), I was able to flash Firerat's mod using CWM, without the error message anymore when wiping.

So far, had tested the mod on a few ROMs namely, HeroC22Oct_test, aospCMod, Decked_X and Rose_V5.

1. AOSP ROMs in general are fine with MTD 100 30 partition.

2. Odexed ROM, like Decked_X would need slightly more system partition, like MTD 105 30, if flash with gapps. Otherwise, some apps won't install well, like in my case, vending apps. Without the Market app, I found out that I was not able to install all my location based apps like Runkeeper, Cardiotrainer, Shownearby etc.

3. On Sense ROM like Rose, I started off with MTD 185 30. After installing apps, I found Sense used up lots more data space and my internal free space was quickly left with only less than 30MB. So I may try MTD 165 15 next, to see if I can free up another 35MB.

Any resizing of MTD partition, will need to re-do the above steps.

Real hard work :D (I had initially thought just re-sizing the MTD and flash the boot patcher would do the trick)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] teslavio:
It works with Amon RA as well. I tried version 1.5.8 last night and it works like a dream.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
Hmmm...how did you get the mod to work using Amon RA? Would you be able to provide some detail steps?

We had previously 2 users posted total failure getting this mod to work using Amon RA.

Personally, I had experienced a few failed attempt myself using CWM trying the MTD mod.

I must say this is not for the faint hearted as I had ever got CWM corrupted to the point where I was not able to flash any ROM (Got panic myself! Luckily I was able to restore back to the only nand backup that I had).

As such, Amon RA is still my prefer Recovery for flashing.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
Well, I failed with Amon_RA, I managed to do it with CWM afterwards, but on my first CWM try it failed as well, so it might've been something i did ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] teslavio:
1. Amon RA 1.7.0.1 flashed using ROM Manager

2. mtdpartmap.txt created and line mtd 120 40 added

3. Recovery reboot

4. Everything wiped

5. recovery-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip flashed

6. Everything wiped again

7. Recovery reboot

8. Decked odexed ROM flashed

9. boot-v1.5.8-CustomMTD_S.zip flashed

10. Reboot

And it worked, df -h shows correct sizes.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] puppyko:
The steps you described were logical and was not much different to when using CWM.

I might try again with RA one day (when I have more rest day).

Thanks.

I'm having a little hard time seeing which column of numbers is the available amount of memory lol. Is it the 2nd or 3rd column of numbers?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] teslavio:
1st column of numbers are Size, 2nd are Used, and 3rd are Available.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Zin0:
Sorry for the nit picky questions, i just needed clarification. I got it to work. Started with 150 mb, ended with 298 :) good deal. Is there a way i could bump it to 300+ ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
Check ur rom for how much free space is available if there more free space edit the mtdpart.txt file in SD card to a lower value I normally add 2mb more than used memory to be safe,I got 330mb on my decked build before ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaos20:
hi,

after I do this method, I can not install another rom except the CM6.1

whenever I try to install another, the screen is always black hero and don't boot

someone help me?

thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] teslavio:
You must flash boot part of MTD immediately after any other flash and before restarting phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaos20:
hello

I tried to do what you tell me, but now the phone does not start, is always in startup mode and restarts

just did flash with the FR-boot-v1.5.3-CustomMTD_S.zip and restart the phone

can you help me?

thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] teslavio:
Wipe everything and start from scratch. Make sure mtdpartmap.txt contains big enough numbers for your new ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kaos20:
I've tried every way possible and I can not. Whenever I install any other rom, the phone does not leave the black screen with writing hero ...

how do I for the parameters of origin in order to install the rom CM7.1?

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] teslavio:
You can always restore your backup and reflash your recovery.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
I had to quote myself. After I experienced problem described above I flashed amon ra recovery, another rom and what not ...and switched to ext partition and a2sd. The "can't mount " thing disappeared in ra recovery. Now I switched to clockwork again and of course it's back. It wouldn't be much of a problem if I didn't become unable to create custom partitions .

So again, does anyone have any idea how to solve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tom0769:
"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

I get the same message when trying to wipe cache in CWM recovery.

Though the dalvik-cache is definitely wiped (next boot needs very long time)

But I don't use an ext partition and I think that /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 refers to dalvik-cache located on ext.

When I explore to /dev/block directory, there is no sub.directory called mmcblk0p2.

Do you have an ext partition?

Is it ext2, ext3 or ext4?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] treesurf:
I also get that same error message. I just ignored it, and everything has been working fine, so I don't think it's something you need to be concerned about.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] bharat_goku:
m gonna try n see if i can compile the latest clockwork recovery fr our hero today.....hopefully i can do it since dastin was able to do so for the cdma version....ofcourse it wont be official but m gonna look into it soon i wanna really keep this device alive for as long as i can...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
I don't have /dev/block/mmcblk0p2, but I do have sd-ext (ext2) and dalvik cache in it.

Thank you man :). If you know how to fix it, please do it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] aca89:
bharat_goku, have you maybe tried to compile latest clockwork? I really want to use mtd partitioning again.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jakkuz:
try to resize partitions to 175 15, it worked for me, after that, CM7.1 was installed without any problems (btw ICS too).

With 95 15, i couldn't even install full gapps for even CM6.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mrsatan:
Anybody tried this with 7.2? I use clockwork and I guess the latest isn't working though?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hassam:
After this method my memory remain 8.89mb. Please help me

Thank you
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] harut56:
Does this mod allow to get larger /system? E.g. 190 or 200?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
I'm pretty sure it works, and that is prob useful for big Sense roms and such :) Haven't tried, though
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Hassam:
Is there any way to remove this patch/recovery/method. I installed Rose v5 with this and now my HTC Hero's memory is 8.89mb, and before this method it was 175 -180mb approx.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Habarug:
There is a Remove.zip thingy in the download link ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ZyberXDA:
I think about trying an ICS rom for the hero and hope that it is gonna work also with the custom MTD Partitions. Can anyone confirm that this also will work?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jitno:
Ive seen that you need to "flash" it in order for it to work. Ive ssen that you can just call in to BOOST and say you want to activate a phone and you give them some number and hope they accept it. I dont know whats true or needed to do this but if I can that would be AMAZING! If I need to flash, how do I do it? What software? If I just need to call in, what all do I need to say/ do? BOOST is under SPRINT, BOOST has CDMA phones, and the E4GT is CDMA. How do I go about doing this?

Many thanks.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] doowopmario:
Hello, I'm new to this forum. I left the Blackberry (Bold 9900) world and jumped on board here. So far I LOVE my Mytouch 4g Slide!

I could have sworn that my "home" screen and "all apps" screen would rotate when I turned it sideways without having to slide my phone open. Now it doesn't. I first noticed it when I opened up my Netflix app. I turned the phone sideways to search for a movie and the screen would not rotate. It only rotated when the movie played.

Do your phones rotate on the home screen/all apps screen without sliding it open?

Please help, it's bugging the heck out of me.

Thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Whoops I thanked you lol.

Some apps allow landscape mode, and some don't.

In addition, auto rotate allows your sensor to make the screen turn when it's on its side. Check the settings. (Settings > Display, I think). Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] verne2k:
mine actually rotates when the keyboard is closed and doesn't when the keyboard is open, which is quite logical and the correct behaviour i think
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] doowopmario:
Does your MT4GS do this too???

That's strange. I wonder why that is. So yours rotates the home screen and "all apps" screen when turned sideways?

I am sure that my auto-rotate feature works because when I open certain apps, say, the Gallery where I have all my pictures stored, I can turn it sideways to the left or right and it will rotate accordingly.

It is only when I try to rotate the Home screen and All Apps screen that I could have sworn would rotate too.

Any help on getting this back the way it should would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Doo Wop Mario
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] doowopmario:
I checked my Auto Rotate settings and they've always been on. I unchecked it and then rebooted and then checked it again and it still didn't work. Not sure why.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Nope, if you're on the stock ROM (As far as I remember, considering I haven't been on stock since the first ROM came out and I've refused to use the stock launcher anyways) orientation won't change on the "Home" screen unless you slide the keyboard open. Correct me if I'm wrong. Personally, I turn rotation off because it sometimes gets annoying. You could always try a different launcher though, I'm pretty sure ADW and Go Launcher rotate on any keyboard condition. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
The app Orientation Control works well if you want your display to stay in a particular orientation all the time. Costs a buck or two in the market, and the main thing it messes up is the camera when you want to take a picture, but you can always switch it back to 'auto rotate' in those cases.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] doowopmario:
Yeah, I'm on stock ROM. I like the rotation feature for now, and was just wondering why it would work on some screens and not on others. I thought that was a default feature.

At least I know I'm not losing my mind. I really did believe it used to rotate the Home screen and All Apps screen without sliding it open.

I guess one thing I can try is going into a T-Mobile store and testing out their phone there to see if it rotates.

Thanks everyone!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Never did for me in the stock Sense launcher on the app drawer or home screens, unless sliding out the keyboard. I made a reference to that in the tv-out thread back when I first got the phone in august.

It works everywhere else, and you could just use another launcher to have it happen on those two screens.

I'd like to enable that functionality in Rosie - i'm not sure why it's like that and it's puzzled me for months.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dung8604:
I dunno, personally, I turn off auto rotation all the time. If I want to view anything in landscape, I just slide the keyboard open. Just my preference, though.

I really like a free app called auto rotate switch. It gives you a button in the status bar that you can click to turn on and off auto rotation. I've used it since my first android phone, but have never used it with this one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Nakel:
Cyberon Voice Commander works great with the Skyrocket. It's in the Market. One tip: Go into settings and de-select the apps that you know you'll never want to start with Voice command. This just lessens the chance of Cyberon picking the wrong app. Same with Contacts.

Thanks, guys. I appreciate all the suggestions.

Cyberon was too expensive to try first.

I downloaded Skyvi but it couldn't understand what I meant by "Open iHeart Radio".

So it got uninstalled.

I then tried Speaktoit.

We flirted with each other.

But she made me repeat everything twice.

I had to speak kind of loud the second time around with each command.

And couldn't open iHeart Radio.

So she got dumped.

I then tried Vlingo and it worked perfectly on the first try.
