[MENTION=1034920]SenseiSimple[/MENTION],

Thanks for this; really helped me track down a media scan bug draining battery.

A couple of questions/comments:

1) I have paid version of Swype with no /system/lib/libsywypecore.so file; opening the flash included Andriod Terminal causes the app to FC unless I open the slide-out KB or select another default input method in Settings/Locale and text. Not a real problem.

2) After using the sudo sdcardstuck to track media scan hangs, despite deleting those files, they still get flagged until deleting the stuck file record and rebooting. Maybe there is an easier method? No real issue there either but I have a file that regenerates after each boot/media scan that the script continually flags as a media scan hang-up at mnt/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967... (same file at .thumbdata3 generates each time). I've moved all the pics from /camera in DCIM to PICTURES folder and deleted DCIM and rebooted. Once media scan is done, it regenerates DCIM folder with thumbnails and same file all over again. Being that I deleted all other all other files flagged and my problem seems resolved, I'm thinking that this file may be something new to FC09 and should be ignored; if so, I'm not absolutely sure if the script finishes the scan to allow me resolve all issues.

Seems the media scan bug has effected other newer Samsung phones, recently. I suspect it may not be widespread because not everyone is properly moving data from original phone to upgraded phone. Some files may even be DRM protected. This script flagged two of my pictures, not sure which they were since I deleted without review and one wallpaper that may have had the wrong extension or was DRM protected, not sure. Two other pictures brought from another phone had capitalized extensions .JPG and would not rename correctly until saved with another name with proper extension.

Taking this to s4 i9505 forum?
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Forgot to mention that using another terminal emulator allows the sdcardstuck to pass the scan. I used the one integrated into ROM Toolbox.
[Epic 4G Android Development] samep:
Update:

NVM my issue/question SenseiSimple; same file, mnt/sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--1967..., still generates/exists but no longer faults when running "sudo sdcardstuck" And it passes despite still having that "STUCK" file on sdcard after the previous failures. Isolated event!

I do still have the minor issue with the included Termainal Emulator apk FC when paid Swype app is default input method. Works fine if opening KB prior to starting the Terminal.

Thanks again, SenseiSimple!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkAtHome:
Many of us connect our phones and/or cards to our PCs in order to manage the card's partitions.

Is there a native Android partitioning app (not via bootloader), installable to the device, which can manage its SD card, similar to how, for example, Mini Partition Wizard works from a PC on the SD card?

Galaxy Note sales are expected to keep increasing after shipping over 1 million in just two months. Great customer experience and excellent reviews from the experts plus a release in the US should keep the upward momentum going. Samsung are already planning to employ more IT staff to cope with the sales growth. Good news for all us owners.

[HTC Sensation] corumuk:
whilst installing ARHD my CWM recovery was replaced with 4ext touch, which is ok as it has a good look and feel.

under the 'wipe/format' option in 4ext you can individually wipe/format the following:

factory reset

cache

dalvik cache

battery stats

format system

format data

format boot

format sdcard

format all partitions (except sdcard)

the ones that concern me are the format boot and format all (because this would include boot).

if 'boot' is formatted, does that wipe out the 'hboot' utility, because surely that would be quite risky...
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Boot means the boot.IMG file which is flashed when installing a custom ROM and it contains the kernel and ramdisk. There is no risk whatsoever to hboot being wiped as hboot is a separate thing altogether and has its own partition and the recovery is not allowed to wipe it by design
[HTC Sensation] deltaman666:
4EXT wiping before ARHD

erase

(I found the answer)

[HTC Sensation] dyc4ha:
wipe data and cache+dalvik, then flash your rom
[HTC Sensation] deltaman666:
I just do a format all partitions (except sdcard)

it seems to work..

[HTC ChaCha] RDilus:
First of all the S-Off and Root might not work.

Temproot will always work even is S-On.

This will lead to the whole process of making the ChaCha brute force unlocked.

So im not responsabele for bricking you're device or anything else.

Chapter 1 - Creating a goldcard

What do you need:

MicroSD card 2gb or higher

Goldcard Helper (from android market)(market link)

HxD hex editor (download it here)

This is very easy to-do even a six year old child could do this if you can't ask it you're lil bro he will solve this lol.

First of all format your microSD card to FAT32 it need to be blank.

Mean while your pc is formatting the SD card download goldcar helper from the market and install it

Put back the microSD in the phone and boot the phone up again let it fully boot.

When that is done start goldcard maker you will see a reverse CID.

You could write it down in notepad but if you tick the settings button and do "copy to clipboard"

Then you can send it to your mail it make it so much easyer.

When that is done turn of the phone and remove the SDcard for the phone and put it in a SD reader of your pc again

Now go to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard to create your goldcard and put the code that you write down or send to your mail in ''SD Card Serial (CID): *''

and follow the site instructions.

After a few second you get a download named ''goldcard.img'' save it somewhere where you can find it easy.

I assume you downloaded HxD hex editor so start that up now.

Go to "extras > Open disk" and select your disk where the micro SD card is most likely removeable disk1 !!!!!UNTICK OPEN AS READ ONLY!!!!!.

Now go to "Extras > open disk image and open the "goldcard.img as 512 (Hard disks/Floppy disks) and click ok.

select all the lines of the goldcard and copy it and replace it with the first lines of your sd card so till 00000170 don't change anything else or you can say goodbye to ya SDcard.

save it and you are done!

and rooting is also discussed here.... you can refer thread 'everything for chacha' under chacha general forum.

and for S-off, do you have any other method other than XTC clip?
[HTC ChaCha] RDilus:
Yes and no first of all i need a key from htcdev from this device then i could work sonething out so basicly im busy with it s-off is on his way!

hi my friend have Samsung galaxy y recently rooted only rooted no custom Rom he uses stock Roms now he gets so much hangs so he decided factory reset it. i want to know is it safe or he will brick it?? please help we both are noobs
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
With the information provided i think it is unlikely that you will brick the device by factory reseting it.
[General Questions and Answers] AJ88:
thanks.. here someone said me that never factory reset a rooted phone running on custom Rom.. so i little afraid but mine friends one is still on custom Rom so is it safe right?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Maybe if the custom rom was using somekind of partition , but generally i would say reseting a custom rom won't brick a device.

Reseting a custom rom does not restore the factory rom, but reset the custom rom to its install state.

Its virtually im possible to really BRICK (a real BRICK is something that needs a JTAG device in order to get it working again) a device by reseting it, the worst case scenario is that you have to reflash the rom.
[General Questions and Answers] AJ88:
but i have stock Rom so what happened if i factory reset? what i will get after reset a rooted phone or unrooted phone? please help
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
The device should still remain rooted since the su binary was placed in the system area which factory resetting does not affect (you will just have to re-install the Superuser app). See here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17348395&postcount=2.

is somebody there for help???
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Theoreticly yes, but the SuperUser app is there to prevent that.
[General Questions and Answers] AJ88:
thanks if any malware crashes my system than what should i do? factory reset or anything else?
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
Safest would be to flash new ROM / same ROM again.
[General Questions and Answers] AJ88:
thanks if i factory reset does it automatically flash ROM Also? please don't angry i.m just a little curious and want to learn something better from a master like you!
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
Unless you know what you are doing.

You could say so, but you have control over what gets root access and what doesn't. Apps can only use root access if you allow it (you have to grant it Superuser permission).

Nice one might save a few bricks .

But from experience most SGS2 noobs are missing two vital parts of your check list .

I want root ( dont know what it is ) . I want someone tell me best custom rom .I want best battery .I want you hold my flashing hand . I want theme . i dont want read i dont want search button .

But with a number of similar posts of late its obvious that the problem is getting bigger and wont go away .

[Galaxy S II General] hp13:
you asked a very general question. but just to answer the theme part:: MIUI rom has lots of themes and highly customizable.. for battery life its a combination of right kernel and rom.. as per kernel try void or speedmod. and for rom try oxygen rom, lightning rom, or checkrom.

So, i've tried to unlock bootloader using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

The first part (up to step 5c) ha gone really smoothly, without any complications.

However when i tried to connect phone to Flashtool all i got was "Device connected with USB debugging off". So then i decided to do the dumbest thing (now i know that) i could do: reboot my phone. Now it's not powering on, so I'm assuming it's bricked.

So my questions:

1. Is it bricked beyond all repair, and i cannot do anything about it, or perhaps there is still some hope left for me?

2. If it's bricked, will service be able to help me? And if yes then how much approximetly would they charge me for that (I'm assuming that my warranty is void because of my attempts)?

1. A cellphone technician with a JTAG/RIFF BOX tool can fix your phone, or the alternative is by replacing the motherboard of your device, you cannot fix at home, that is for sure not unless you have this devices and know how to use it.

2. As for the warranty, just play dumb and say that you dont know what happen to your device. Your warranty is safe as long as they didnt find out that you have mess up the bootlader, IDK much about this, but for me this work.

It happens that, x8 that has been manufactured in 11w26 to 11w37 is problematic and 11w38 beyond is surely bricked if tried to unlock the bootlader. The issue is, they have fixed the security loophole in the bootloader in the later releases. I have 11w44 x8 black that has been hard bricked a few days ago, and I just play dumb in the service center, and they didnt asked anything, it has been covered in the warranty, so free service.
