It works at last!

Many thanks and respect to PROTOCHIP and The_Steph

Everything is clear and it works at last.

Thank You both very much!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] dawe94:
Thank you very much!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] EvoFighter:
This is the exact steps i am looking for!! Excellent and works flawlessly.

Now finding a good powered USB hub to power my card reader and external 2.5" so that i can backup photos from my DSLR to external hard disk. :D

any good suggestion, anyone? thanks in advance. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
PROTOCHIP,

Regading the "SD Card empty" issue, I think I figured out what is happening. I did an AbyssNote Kernel update this morning and I got the issue. At first, my Note was connected to my PC so I thought this connection was the root cause of this issue. I did a reboot (with the USB cable still attached) to check that if it was the real cause and no it was not the case. So I did a third reboot and still no issue.

My point is, kernel update flash script is probably resetting su rights and for the first boot no su rights is given to autostart and once the boot process is complete SuperUser gives all process their root right again which prevent this problem to happen again during any subsequent reboot.

If you plan to upgrande your kernel soon, can you check your Note behavior to see if it works the same? If yes, we just nee to be informational on that point that's it :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ziko:
@PROTOCHIP:

Please update and correct your OP, the whole thing is confus.

The first line command is wrong

The second line command is wrong

Please note clearly that the secon line need only user with a different ROM as Abyss and there is no need for fuse.ko.

A few of my friends told me about that, they have probs following your instructions

Thnaks and have a nice day

btw, i think most poeple want your guide for external HDDs or SSDs like me.

A big internal sdcard is not the big deal :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
ziko,

I agree with almost all your remarks, however, first line needs to be done at least once.

I am thinking of modifying my CWM flashable file to take into account the external HDD script but I need confirmation of PROTOCHIP that my analysis is true. Maybe you can help on the subject?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear The_Steph,

Thanks for the info... Good point... As soon as possible i will retry... Gonna flash new AbyssNote v3.6 and observe your autostart script...

Kind regards...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear ziko,

Thanks for the remarks and suggestions...

As The_Steph stated, first line have to be done once... Corrected by adding /system/bin/

Second line is optional for users who dont use AbyssNote kernel and this was explained in step 7...

If i find some spare time, i will try to reorganize the guide to a more simple look.... And there will be two guides; one for sdcard and one for usb otg devices...

Kind regards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] WinJunkie:
do we have to recopy the ntfs-3g file to bin every time we try to mount a new drive?

if so can a script be created to do this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ayongkot:
i'm running la4 with cf root and followed your steps but it says 2nd line cannot be found.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear WinJunkie,

No, it is only once. There is already a CWM script created by The_Steph for sdcard but have minor issues those we are trying to figure out... But u can make a script to use with script manager...

Get script from attachment and use script manager to run it with su and then save... Script is for sdcard but u can edit it for usb otg...

Kind Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear ayongkot,

I guess, cfroot kernel doesnt load fuse.ko after flash and probably it is incompatible also... NTFS solution works best with AbyssNote kernel... But u can try to copy fuse.ko and give it a second try otherwise flash abyssnote kernel...

extract fuse.ko from attachment and copy file to /lib/modules/

Kind regards...

I got the NTFS 2GB thumb drive working but not a 120GB NTFS formatted 2.5" hard disk. The hard disk is externally powered. Is it becoz the hard disk partition is too big? :confused:

Anyone tried connecting an externally powered 2.5" or 3.5" portable hard disk? Any help/pointer is greatly appreciated. thanks. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] ballfire:
i have had the ntfs working for a while on the note with a 64gb sandisk card.

when i copy large files to the card , the windows estimation time is totally wrong.

it would say copying at 100+mb/sec which we know is impossible and the copy bar would just sit at the nearly completed mark saying finishing in 5sec but it would sit there for literally minutes until it has finally copied.

anyone know why this is the case? the copy estimation time is accurate for all my other devices except this, which is quite annoying when you have no clue when it is actually going to complete.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
ballfire,

I have the same issue, it seems that there is a buffer that is causing this trouble. It gets quickly a lot of data (hence the 100MB+ speed) and then starts to write on the SD (which takes sometimes a very long time).

The average speed I have is for my Sandisk Micro SDXC is an average of 6MB/s.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maktama:
2TB 3.5"portable hard disk works, 2.5" 160GB portable hard disk works(obviously both have extra powersupp), 32GB Samsung essential class10 micro sd card works. 8GB thumbdrive works.all of them ntfs formatted.

HD should contain just 1partition in it.

is there anyway to recognize more than 1partiton in HD? like 1st partition fat32 and 2nd ntfs or viceversa. am i want too much:))

Thank u sooo much by the way. I can watch 10 GB full hd movie on bus...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] minhsu:
Dear Protochip and The Steph,

I had updated Abyss kernel 3.8 but my Note cant receive NTFS HDD.

I hope you have a simple way that GNote can receive NTFS HDD at starting time.

Very thanhks,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
I have read and applied this short guide. My Samsung 32gb class 10 microsd is now automatically mounted after boot (thanks to Script Manager). But when I connect my phone via USB to my desktop computer, nothing happens. I can not acess the internal SD nor the external.

Any idea about what is causing this ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear DarkAdrien,

Even it is mounted automatically with script as described in the guide; for stable usb connection,u should go to settings-storage and select mount sdcard and u will see the size of the card then try to connect with usb mass storage to pc... Hope this helps...

Kind regards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
minshu,

Did you carefully followed PROTOCHIP methodology with the prerequesites (external HDD externally powered)?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tommyhui:
This is the second times of data damage with my 32bg micro-sd card, and need to format the sdcard again. Are there any bugs lead to?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maktama:
I'm using my ntfs formatted 32GB sdcard for a month now and never happen.

Currently using criskelo v6 with abyyss kernel v3.8
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
tommyhui,

I use a 64 micro SDXC for more than 2 month now and never faced this issue. It may then be related to your SD card. What brand is it?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] tommyhui:
It's imation class 10.

Also, are NTFS mods support ICS?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] PROTOCHIP:
Dear tommyhui,

No, not yet since there is no kernel source published by Samsung also official ics rom, too... I will stick with gb till a custom ics kernel supports ntfs...

Kind regards.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] bloodyhippo:
Hi guys! I'm using Abyssnote kernel 4.1.

ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda1 /mnt/sdcard/usb

This works for an 8gb ntfs pen drive, but not for a 3.5" externally powered HDD (232 GB, single NTFS partition). The drive is a desktop SATA drive, connected through a SATA to USB connector. When I plug it into my Note, a notification states that the media is "damaged or unsupported". Sometimes, plugging in the HDD to an already connected OTG cable has no effect whatsoever.

An app called 'usb host controller' shows what devices I have connected. It shows my HDD (when the notification for damaged filesystem appears) as a sata to usb connector in the "connected usb devices' section, but not in the connected mass storage devices section. Could this mean that due to the presence of this connector the note can't see my hard drive? Maybe it needs a driver for it.

Running the above mentioned command on it yields,"/dev/block/sda1 not found".

Whoa, long description. Sorry. Help?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] brotbuexe:
Should have something to do with the adapter or the disk.

I just tried a external seagate 2,5" 120gb usb drive and its working fine.

Using abyss 4.1.

It shows in the mass storage section.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] maktama:
Under the light of 2 posts above mine, i can mount multiple parts on 1 external hdd.

Basically i can see my hdd parts(like sda1 or sda2 or sdb1..etc) by "usb host controller" and modify the script,save and use.

I can also mount ntfs part by this way in hdd which 1part ntfs 1part fat32.

Only thing left for me, how can i mount this fat32 part which hdd contain both ntfs and fat32 parts.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lhooipg:
How you guys copy the file over to system/bin?

Sorry for the noob question as I'm new to andriod system...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
lhooipg,

To do that, you simply need to be root of your device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jay_B:
Root ur device and use root broswer..

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
Hi all

Is there any way to add NTFS support to kernels that are not "native NTFS compatible" ?

I mean, with Abyss Note it perfectly works, but I would like to use Speedmod kernel and even with closely following the instructions in the OP, I can't get my sd card recognized...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
DarkAdrien,

You can try to edit a fuse.ko file (I attached to this post the one from Abyssnote 4.2) and see if you can load it.

To edit the fuse.ko file, look for "vermagic" string in it and replace what's after the equal sign by the first line of what is written in "Kernel version" in "Settings" > "About" then put it in /lib/modules set the appropriate rights and try to load it as said in first post.

Then report.

Merci par avance :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
Thanks for your support.

I think the fuse.ko is loaded (after reboot I don't get any error with insmod command).

But now I am facing an issue with ntfs-3g : even with the right permissions (755), when entering :

ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd

I get [1] Illegal instruction

I remember I got this issue the first times with Abyssnote too, but I can't remember how I figured it out...

Do you confirm at least the if insmod command is working, fuse.ko is correctly loaded (or is there any other way to check it is loaded ?)

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
try an new insmod command in terminal to see what happens.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
Okay !!! Got it working, thanks to Protochip and The_Steph.

I can now enjoy Speedmod kernel

and

NTFS support !

What I did, in the right order :

- install the kernel (in my example, Speedmod)

- write out the first line in Kernel version (in my example 2.6.35.7)

- open the fuse.ko that I had saved from Abyssnote kernel, with a simple notepad. Look for "Vermagic=" and replace the numbers here with mine (2.6.35.7)

- copy fuse.ko to /lib/modules, copy ntfs-3g to /system/bin/

- chmod 755 on ntfs-3g

- create a txt-script file containing :

This file is loaded after boot by scriptmanager, and voila ! I think the main point is to include insmod command in the script to force the loading of our modded fuse.ko.

Thanks again for all the valuable support.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
DarkAdrien,

Nice to read it is working :)

I tried to do it with franciscofranco kernel and I ended up with an "Exec format error" i was just wondering if it was a 2.6.35.7 vs 2.6.35.14 kernel formats but as you did it with speedmod kernel, I'm pretty sure that I used a wrong method.

Can you point me the tool you used to modify the tune.ko file. And was it under Windows or Linux?

Last point, be careful, when a fuse.ko is not part of the kernel it can be removed when rebooting your Note. Please test and report.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
I simply used Notepad in Windows XP... The first thing I tried after successfully mounting my NTFS microsd was rebooting. And no problem the script runs like a charm and the card is mounted after 10-15 seconds.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
DarkAdrien,

I think you can use it because hardcore included FUSE module in his kernel starting from version K1-2.

For me no luck with franciscofranco kernel :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] lhooipg:
Hi guys,

how you get the fuse.ko copy to /lib/modules? I cannot copy over, its said copy failed...my phone is rooted with root browser installed

pls help...tq
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
Root does not mean you can copy it, you need to remount the folder in read/write mode using a file explorer (I do use Total Commander).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
Hi all

Just to say that under ICS (I am testing Alba repack v2), getting our NTFS sd recognized is much simpler.

I just had to download this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oyaxai.ntfssd

Go into parameters, and in 'external storage' simply put '/mnt/sdcard/external_sd'. Reboot, enjoy.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] Jay_B:
Well I only see mount device and external storage no internal storage in parameters.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
That is external storage, sorry for the mistake.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
DarkAdrien,

I kiffe you ;)

What is the ICS version you use?

As I am tempted by ICS Stunner, I would like to know if this is the one you are using because you say that you need to use /mnt/sdcard/external_sd as link and many of them are saying that now sdcard is mounted as /mnt/emmc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] BorisDeviant:
:D

I tested this app on an ICS rom, but it may also work on a GB rom, I did not try.

In any case, thanks to this topic which initiated the discussion, we now have proper, stable, clean, NTFS support on the GN.

And it's great to be able to watch Drive 1080p with subtitles without having to mess with splitting because of FAT32 filesize limit :cool:

Edit : running Alba repack and fully satisfied with it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] instinct:
Hi all,

Thanks for all the knowledge in this useful thread.

I have one important question.

I want to output 1080p content (stored in 32GB NTFS microSD) using MHL but AbyssNote 4.1 or 4.2 doesn't support MHL. Any solution to this ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jadmask3rlm:
Hi darkadrien,

Just want to ask step by step for im a newbie and want this on my stunner.

1st do i need to edit fuse.ko like you did earlier and copy it to lib/modules or just install ntfssd and edit preferences.

Thanks for your kind advise
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
jadmask3rlm,

With stunner (I do use version 5.0) you don't have to install anything else than NTFSSD. Give it root rights (when superuser requires them) and that it, it works.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jadmask3rlm:
Hi The_steph,

Thanks for your reply.

I installed ntfssd and changed the external storage to /mnt/sdcard/external_sd and i got notification blank sd card or unsupported something.

May i know you preference settings, mount and external storage.

Thanks for your help

Edit:

Im getting blank sd card everytime i tried to insert my flash drive.

Im on stunner v5.0 also
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] The_Steph:
jadmask3rlm,

it is said in Stunner 5.0 original post that sdcard is mounted in /mnt/emmc, not /mnt/sdcard_external_sd or /mnt/external_sd. Please change your config accordingly, test again and report.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] kem1337:
hey, i can edit the file with notepad, but it says hardware failure (wanam 11.1 syiah 3.1rc6

i have issue with ntfsroot... doesnt work
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Android Development] jadmask3rlm:
The_Steph,

I tried to change the external storage to /mnt/emmc still no luck. Tried to set to /mnt/usbdisk also no luck. Do i need to change mount device also? I didnt touch that part.

1 theory comes to my mind is ntfssd is for mounting sd cards only and not for mounting flash drive or external hdd. Just a theory.

Thanks and regards,

Is there any limitation flashing using ODIN?

i mean, is that safe using ODIN several time to flash the S5830?

or any limitation for doing this? to avoid the bricked situation :D

thanks :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Using this ace since March, I've flashed through ODIN at least 20 times and the most problematic hurdle was a bootloop. Once. Nothing I can't fix.

But there is going to be a degree of potential bricking when flashing (either through ODIN or flashing zips).

i read from other thread, to resolve the bootloop is wiping, you do it too?

[Windows 8 General] xXy3kXx:
I sure hope this active desktop is disabled for the desktop version... I think we may soon have a battle of OS's soon. Especially if this is the final version the new UI it cluttered and I would expect more from Microsoft like a brand new concept for the whole system they've had over 23 years...... and it feels and look just like it did in windows v 3 but with better settings....
[Windows 8 General] ShadowEO:
Honestly, it looks better than 3.1, they also did not remove any of the previous functions, they just moved them around. I just wish people would be more open minded about getting something new rather than just have something with a new visual style or paint job. I applaud Microsoft for trying to go with a unified UI throughout their platforms, certainly a great way to reinvent something that's been around since Windows 95.
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
that was very difficult to read... :/

a brand new concept for the whole system (UI)? what, like Metro?

the issue is backward compatibility, MS is a legend for keeping it, but it can also have its downside, meaning its not always possible to completely reinvent something.

But that's beside the point, Metro and Desktop Do work great together on a desktop PC and Metro is amazing on a tablet so, just takes an open mind and a it of getting used to.
[Windows 8 General] flyingdreamz:
Well said dazza9075, Windows 8 is a beautiful OS but the user interface you have to look at with open mind. After using it as my main OS on both my Dell E6410, My HP ZD7249Cl and my Home built Desktop I thought I would never move away from Windows 7 but it grows on you very quickly. Now when I do use windows 7 I find my self trying to do mouse gestures that windows 7 cant do.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kirdroid:
No need to do anything, put ur existing AT&T sim and you are all set .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knects:
I too did the same and it works just fine. I am curious about my plan though. I still have the unlimited Data plan. I had the Captivate and got an iPhone 4 in trade for something. I switched to it until the Nexus came out.

I had to call AT&T and have them change my plan so that the iPhone would get data. When I got my Nexus I just put the sim in an adapter and have service with Data. Interestingly my phone shows up as a Captivate again at the AT&T website. Anyone familiar with AT&T plans to tell me what plan I should be on now?
