Salutations,

I recently installed a ICS ROM from another site, was meant to be in beta but it crashed and wouldn't reboot unless I removed the battery everytime the screen went off. I thought I would wipe everything and just go back to the stock ROM for a while until all of the ICS builds have matured.

Sadly this wasn't the case, after wiping everything ( I wanted to clean the SD card etc as well ) the phone doesn't boot, remains stuck on HTC logo if it wants to go that far. The LED is flashing orange and I cannot get into HBOOT.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Sigg1996:
The flashing LED light means u got low battery, so I would suggest you charging it.

to get into recovery remove the battery, and then try again. When in recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache and try to reboot.

The screen-off problem I have no idea how to fix, try re-downloading, maybe u got a broken zip. Or just try another ROM.
[HTC Sensation] mendes52309:
Make sure you do "supercid" then go ahead and download and run the correct ruu and drivers for your version of sensation problem solved
[HTC Sensation] Joshhedge:
Thanks for the responses, I think I must have wiped the boot partition and messed up the ruu. Problem solved when I downloaded a new ROM on my Mac and moved it onto the SD card and installed it. Got quite worried that I might have soft bricked the device!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
Hi guys,

i just went to media markt a german electronics store to check out the Razr. I was reading a lot on here and in online magzines, also german once, about the razr.

but i was suprised as i checked the internal memory it only showed total of 8GB and available something about 6GB

in another online magazin the wrote it has 16GB internal memory but only 12 GB available for the user. I also contacted amazon.de, because they didn't had anything on the product details how much memory. and the guy told me that it is 16Gb but 8GB already reserved for Motocast...

can you help me with this? Why does motocast need so much storage?

Motocast is the app, where i can access the media on my pc and stream it to the device, right?

thanks a lot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bruno Nunes:
I have this doubt too.I bought mine in Brazil, and it shows only 8GB of internal memory and 6 available, although after you put the SD card it runs an 'internal memory optimizer' and frees all the 8GB.

I think that maybe some sort of reservation, because if it was only the 8GB, some part of this memory would have the system files, and no matter what card you put in the system would be in this memory.But when you put the SD it frees "all" the internal memory.Someone knows how is this possible???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
There's 16gb memory on board.

About 4 gigs are reserved for the system, the other 4 gigs are for apps internal storage.

The internal app 2 sd partition is due to many android phones suffering from slow app loading through the SD port.

The system has 4gigs reserved due to the webtop interface, temp storage for the browser and such. And the full android system of course.

The available storage partition, that saves photos etc should be exactly 8 gb free, unless you've downloaded stuff to it. You are free to format the internal storage so nothing important is on that.

Verizon adds a 16gb sd card too, most other markets do not get a sd card.

But they're cheap.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
it is just weired because i was reading in an reaview that they hat 12gb for user use...? and somebody else was claiming the other 8gb are reserved for motocast. what is this anyway?

but if the make announcments like this: 16 internal memory, i expect something like 11-12 for the user. i know the system needs stuff and so on. but what does it helf me if the write 124 gb internal memory and they use 120, so i only would have 4 left...they should expand the storage then. it is irritating...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
I think that review considered the app2sd partition as "user available"

Sorry, but there's always an SD port, up to 64gb extra ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
you have 12gb for use

4 only for apps, and 8 as internal sd...

that's 12gb
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rushless:
Several gigs are also taken up by Webtop.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
If you run df command, you can see hw the 16GB is being partitioned.

$ adb shell 'df '
Filesystem Size Used Free Blksize
/dev 464M 328K 463M 4096
/mnt/asec 464M 0K 464M 4096

/system 770M 458M 312M 1024
/pds 3M 1M 2M 1024

/mnt/secure/asec: Permission denied
/mnt/sdcard/.android_secure: Cross-device link
/mnt/sdcard 8G 1G 6G 8192

But, after filtering,

$ adb shell 'mount' | grep 'ext3\|vfat' | awk '{print $2}' | while read d; do adb shell "df $d" | grep $d; done
/system 770M 458M 312M 1024

/osh 1G 836M 474M 2048
/mnt/sdcard 8G 1G 6G 8192

IMHO, the reason /mnt/sdcard partition is on VFAT is, because, it make easier for Windows PC to access the /sdcard content via mass storage support. That's why GNex doesn't support Mass Storage mode, because of the exclusion of vfat FS.

Note; The /osh directory has the UBUNTU distro for webtop. :) Coool! :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
ok, and if i have a sd card inserted and apps want to write to sd card, like for their temp-files or whatever they usally store on a sd card, they will write to the internal memory first (sd-card) and if this one is full they will automatilly write to the micro sd (sd-card-ext)? or how does it work? because i would like to use for the app settins and stuff the internal memory, because i think it will be a bit faster...but if this one is full what happens, if i install another app?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dey.santanu2011:
Dont know much , but I have seen when I insert the SD card, then the phone starts up something called Memory optimizer, which would copy the contents from the internal memory to the SD card free up the internal memory....

So I think , the preference is like, SD-card(ext) first and then internal memory...

Hope I understood ur query correctly..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
App storage is always internal, never on ext-sd, MAYBE if you made an ext-partition?

But IMO, best solution since then apps won't break if you pull out your SD card.

And your apps with data stays throughout system updates.

temp files, android data, general folders with rubbish random names, like extra downloaded game data, is on the internal SD partition.

I found my SD card being Very hard to navigate on my old XT720 because of all the extra folders.

Music from motocast defaults to internal as well.

As it looks to me, any data that is replaceable defaults to internal memory.

In case phone breaks, this is always good.

Ext-sd defaults with irreplacable data, like photos and videos.

Really thought through stuff.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
BTW, installed apps are stored in /data 3GB partition, and we still need to do the 'housekeeping' to keep it at a healthy and usable free space size.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jhar633:
After reading this thread, I am wondering if anyone can help me understand this a little further. According to these posts, I should see approx 6gb available. I just purchased my RAZR today, and I do indeed see both total space and available space at 8gb. But above all of that is the Application storage available space, which reads 2.4gb. Can someone explain to me this allocated storage?

---------- Post added at 04:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 AM ----------

I think I just answered my own question...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
Anyway Android can push some portion of the apps to /sdcard partition, similar to APP2SD. Look at Manage App for yourself. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] assassin34:
i have one question......there is a folder name Android/data which contains all the data needed for apps and games but it is present on internal storage ie mnt/SD but the game size is 1.5GB so i was wondering how to move this folder aka Android/data to my 16GB SD card which is mounted as SD-ext.....so any solutions for this? and after moving this folder will it effect the other apps?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] CaFFeiNe666:
i don't think you will never have memory problems...

i have 30 40 games installed, some with 3d data....

and 1gb navigator maps

and i have 5 gigs left

i think it's really hard to go over 8gb... if you have 10 gameloft games, you are going to occupy somewhere near 4gb...in the remaining 4gb you can install entire market Lol :P

navigator and games are the only apps wich have more than 100mb data...

and for those there are mods (for example sygic in a xml file) or apps (for many gameloft games for example) wich move data on external sd...

usually i use sd for my data, photos, videos, music etc

if i will ever need space, i'll move gps and games on the external sd

a class 10 external sd is much more than enough for every app ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xdakam:
100% agree with u. i checked memory details of moto droid razr's specification on net and motorola mentioned everywhere there this device has 16 gb memory but when i got it yesterday and after starting m shocked that motorola cheated me.:mad::mad: :-( i have used many other mobiles including iphone4 which has 16 gb memory and i can use 13.7 gb. rest of 2.3 gb is used for applications/software installing and ''iTUNE''...but what is the point to mention that device has ''16 GB'' even mobile shows total space is 8 gb....:mad: :mad:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Shadowdancer123:
They confuse specs IMO, it's 16GB on die, but "user accessible" should always be declared (Usually is)

Also, the Verizon phones get a free 16GB SD card, which is where most of this confusion lies.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] navdeep2716:
it has 8gb internal memory and nearly 3.6 gb for applications and remaining for the system and os
[Motorola Droid RAZR] reaperzero:
yep, it actually has 16gb. its just partitioned out :/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rlockwich:
Lol and my Verizon says I own a 32gb.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
Ass far as I know there is a 32GB version. But it's there a way to put the two 8GB positions together. One of the 8 GB is for media sync as far as I understand, but I don't use that feature

Sent from one of my phones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bahathir:
If not mistaken, the MTD partitioning is hardcoded in kernel parameters. Even if you able to combine the partitions , you may lose the USB Mass storage capability accessing internal storage, because Android OS needs Posix capable filesystem to work efficiently. The best example is GNex. That's the limitations of MS OSes which have very limited filesystems support.

BTW 16 or 32 GB microSD is cheap nowdays. Get one.if you need more storage. :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Snake-Plissken:
I already got 32GB but you never can have enough storage and I don't like to waste 8GB.

[Nook Color General] stormerider:
First off, thanks to everyone for helping make the Nook Color such a vibrant community. There's a wealth of information here and I'm really grateful for it. I love the NC and it's great that we can unlock its full Android potential thanks to the hard work of the folks here... both the people that make the tools, and the people that help support it.

I am curious to know if anyone out there has some custom boot animations that aren't so flashy. Both the wife (who also rooted her NC) and I suffer from migraines, and the bootup sequence can be really painful with the bright flashing colors. Something a little more subdued would be preferable.

I'm also not sure if I can run a custom boot animation on the NC without using Cyanogen? I've upgraded to 1.4.1 today (which promptly went into a boot loop which MN 4.6.16 didn't solve, so I reverted to 1.2 and then went back to 1.4.1 and got it re-rooted with MN 5.12.20 properly... thanks again for all the info here!), so I'm just using a rooted stock system. I searched for boot animations on the forum but most of the results were pages of people mentioning which animation they got stuck on while trying to root :)

Also, does anyone know anything about NookDevs.com going dark? Their site just shows a blank HTML page and any old links give a 404. It's a pity, because their wiki was a bit more in-depth than the NC wiki here.
[Nook Color General] bobstro:
I'm also not a fan of the early MN startup screens, but there's an easy fix (see below).

Yes, you can. MN changes it on B&N firmware.

If you've already over-written the boot animation by running MN, you'll need to find a replacement somewhere. Not sure how to do that. However, if you either haven't replaced it yet or are willing to do a factory reset, you can tweak the ManualNooter scripts. If you open the MN .zip file, go into /META-INF/com/google/android/ and edit the updater-script file with a text editor. Look for the 3 lines that begin with "ui_print("Installing Boot Animation...");" and comment them out by putting '#' characters at the start of each line. There are 3 lines in 5.12.20. Write the modified version to that same location, and then run it to (re)root your unit.

Alternately, you could modify /data/local/bootanimation.zip in manualnooter-5.12.20.zip. Hack down the updater-script, and you can have it install ONLY the boot animation if you want to try a few variations.

Finally, if you've already rooted, you could try plugging a replacement in to /data/local/bootanimation.zip directly. No guarantees on this one, though.
[Nook Color General] stormerider:
I just finished getting everything set back up (I hit a setting page that did a reset on my unit... not so happy. Running Titanium Backup now...), so I'm not really keen on re-running MN. I'd rather just tweak what needs to be done, as things seem to be a little bit fragile and breaking things requires a lot of time to get back up and running.

Does MN override the bootanimation binary to support /data/local, or does bootanimation support that location directly? I did some searching and it looks like some people are patching the binary so it works with more standard Android boot animations and it was unclear to me if the /data/local path was part of that customization as well or not.

Also, I was in part posting to see if anyone had any recommendations for the animations themselves. Graphics work is definitely not my forte, I'm more of a server guy :)
[Nook Color General] GMPOWER:
No need to go through all of that trouble. If you don’t like the boot animation in MN, simply go to /data/local, and delete or rename bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip.old, this will take you back to the factory boot animation.

The NC will work with any boot animation you can think of, you just need to follow a few basic rules. The rules are outline at nookdevs.com, Link, the site is down at this time, so here is a link for the cached site, Link.

If you are going to take a boot animation from another device, or from online, and edit it for the NC, the most important step is to NOT use any compression when you zip it back up. You can screw-up almost every other step, and still have a working boot animation, but if you compress the zip, it will not work at all.
[Nook Color General] software_samurai:
CM 7.1.0-encore note

FYI: After putting CM 7.1.0-encore on my NC (and then wanting to change the boot animation), I discovered that the path is: /system/media/bootanimation.zip

Awesome. thanks for the info. Starting to build my own intro...
[HTC Desire S] No-New-Phone:
This is a more general newbie question:

In order to get the perfect GPS-signal, I have installed a variety of custom ROMs, I have flashed various radios, edited /etc/gps.conf, wiped (and restored) efs-data. I am on most recent MIUI Rom (from miui-germany). All these actions didn't really help, gps is worse than ever, and I am now kind of tired. Now my question:

There are ways of reflashing stock rom and hboot with s-on. Will I get the original system back? Will I get delivery-Status back, including original radio, EFS, Boot etc? It seems to me that there are parts of the system that are not affected when ROMs are flashed etc.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
I assume you got s off using rev?

Flash a eng hboot then flash a RUU of your choice.
[HTC Desire S] Montague Fortiscue:
will this work if i unlocked the bootloader with the info from htcdev??
[HTC Desire S] No-New-Phone:
Yes, I am s off, and currently HBOOT shows up as 6.98.102.

Still not completely clear: will everything be "reseted", including kernel & radio & restore original efs-data? (I am still wondering about my courage trying to wipe efs data...) These were the parts that (I thinkt) stayed untouched when I was flashing a rom.
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
After flashing the RUU your phone will be completely stock.
[HTC Desire S] dontjudgemekk:
This seems like a simple and silly question to ask but... Do you use a case with your Desire? I read reviews of some that actually had adverse affects on GPS signal, commonly the cheap ones!

Or should i go for Fruitcake?
[Atrix 4G General] omni_angel7:
Not sure whether your phone is ATT. Fruitcakes are safer than SBF, but need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery to flash. From the time you are able to flash fruitcakes, you have the same prerequisites necessary to flash a custom ROM. Root is not manually necessary because it is in most (if not all) customs ROMs for our Atrix. Good luck, friend.
