Hi everybody,

I have a huge problem (for me anyway) and I can't find a solutions (i've searched for 2 hours now!). I hope somebody can help me.

I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S rooted. Basicly I wanted to transfer a big file on my SD Card. Without thinking i converted my Fat32 SD Card to NTFS with the command prompt in Windows XP. After converting I could still see all my files etc on my laptop.

When I disconnected the phone from my laptop, the phone couldn't recognize my SD card anymore and offers me to format it! So I figured I'd change it back, but I'm not able to connect the phone to my laptop trough USB, it just doesn't offer me the option.

When I insert the SD Card trough a MicroSD adaptor in my laptop, Windows won't recognize the disk either, and offers me to format it to a 512 byte disk - the SD Card is 16 GB.

I'm really freaking out now since there is alot of important documents and photos on the SD Card. Is there any way to force connect the SD Card trough the phone with the USB Cable? Since the files were available before disconnecting, i'm sure they're still there.

I tried 2 partition recovery programs (testdisk and File Scavenger) but they either recognize the Card as empty 512 or 1024 byte.

Is there any way I can format the SD Card back to Fat32 trough USB, or just even recover the files on it?

I hope my stupidity can be solved painless :-)

Thanks in advance...
[General Accessories] johnny893:
Didn't you make a back up of your files when you converted it to ntfs? Doesn't Windows normally format the card when you change its file system?
[General Accessories] mrinehart93:
I have a feeling the SD card might've gotten partitioned... ie. you have two partitions on there now instead of just one. Open a command line with the with SD card connected to the computer, do this:

diskpart

list disk

select disk #(get the disk # from "list disk")

clean

That should get you back to a single-partition sd card.
[General Accessories] drnoodle:
Does windows give you any clues in the disk management section?

Right click > My computer > Manage > Disk Management
[General Accessories] Nitro_123:
Download minitool partition wizard and then plug in your sd card and open the program. Then delete every single partition you see (ON THE SD AND NOT YOUR HARD DRIVES) and then click create a new partition and then format it to FAT32 and you are good to go !
[General Accessories] jackal516:
Had the same problem with a flash drive

right click on drive > properties > readyboost > uncheck the box. Try to format the drive again.
[General Accessories] atirox:
Oh boy... :P The convert Fat32 to NTFS cannot be undone.

The tool was included with Windows XP for those Upgrading from Windows 98, who would still be runing FAT32 on their hard drives. It allowed them to upgrade to NTFS without loosing any data...

Unfortunately, the only way to get the card back is to Reformat it. I'd recommend the Command Prompt, and the Command would look like this...

Format /FS:FAT32 /X (drive letter):

The /FS switch tells Format.exe to format the specified drive in a specific file system. In this case, we're forcing it to setup a FAT32 partition on the disk.

The /X switch tells it to dismount the drive before formatting. This makes sure that nothing else is currently using the drive, so that nothing else can mess with the drive while Format is working with it.

After the drive is formatted, go download some decent data recovery software (I've always had good luck with iolo Search and Recover, but your mileage may vary) and have it scan the drive to recover your media.

Also...

DO NOT MODIFY THE DRIVE IN ANY OTHER WAY! IF YOU WRITE ANYTHING TO THE DRIVE, COPY FILES TO IT, CREATE FILES ON IT, SAVE THINGS TO IT, YOU WILL LOOSE ANY DATA YOU PREVIOUSLY HAD ON THE DRIVE!

Naturally, formatting the drive has a chance of doing this anyway, however, the automatically detected sector size should match the original sector size, so the chances of loosing everything are slim to nil. All hell breaks loose when you start adding and removing things from the drive...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdepro:
I've recently moved off of VooDoo and NS Tools and scripted their features into an init.d script.

While playing around, I decided that 1200000/200000 hz is too high and 1000000/100000 is too low, so I tried

echo 1100000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
echo 150000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq

These values are in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies so I'm wondering if it's okay to set these values?

If not, can I just add these values to the available frequencies and be ok or am I just playing with fire?

Also, if anyone could point me in a direction where I could learn more about this sort of thing, I'd really appreciate it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobiekins:
these are ok as far as I know, you can do these using setcpu

hey fellow devs...

i see that this device doent have any true custom ROMs... i appreciate the work and efforts u guys put into the ROMs u made but these are all stock based ROMs... i was wondering if anyone is interested in starting work on AOSP ICS/ CM9/MiUI porting to this device... i am not an expert with ROM related work but want to start learning... and can surely help out in kernel/ramdisk related aspects...

what do u guys think? up for the challenge?? ;)

@MODS

this thread is ment to start a development related discussion for custom ROM... and may eventually lead to a custom rom running on this device... if u think this is in wrong section kindly move it to correct section...

@non-developers/new users

kindly do not keep filling this thread up with thank you/request/general posts...

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well I've had my build environment set up and I'm ready to compile a ROM, but I'm kinda confused on what the binaries and proprietary files I need are that some guides have mentioned. I'm going to be looking into it more tomorrow.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DooMLoRD:
check similar MSM8255/MSM7x30 based HTC devices... i think Desire HD or Desire Z might be a good place to start...

i just downloaded one of the ICS roms from DHD... will try to see if i can atleast get it to boot :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] porcupineadvocate:
Some ICS:

[ROM][DEV] Andromadus Alpha [ICS]

[ROM][28/12/11][BETA7R1]Desire S ICS AOSP PORT|STABLE|DD MATERIAL [ABANDONED FROM 28]

[ROM][BETA 6.1][Dec 24] BeatMod Ice Cream Sandwich | Source Port | Various Builds

The last one seems especially developed, but what do I know.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Although they have different internals, the Nook Color has a ICS port, and it is also a 7 inch tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] SAPPH1RE:
ICS from DHD is by far the best non-cm9 ics rom, hehehe..

Anyway, like doomlord said, best if looked at the boot image, and redirected anything to flyer base. Flyer and Desire HD have a similar hardware, so best probably to ask the dev in DHD development thread such as twistedumbrella, lord clockan, dh.harald, shaky153 or zfreak, or any ics dev that i forgot to mention.

I haven't compiling for a long time, might be dusty.. ;P
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DooMLoRD:
i know most of the patches which will be required to get this to work (on the kernel side atleast)...

we need some interest from ROM devs
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
So I've taken the proprietary files from the DHD used to compile ICS and stuck them in my htc folder. However when I type lunch it doesn't let me choose to compile for it. It's so frustrating !
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
If your using CyanogenMod building instructions you need to manually pull a manifest I think for HTC devices.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I'm not using CM instructions. I know that there is a script named extract-files.sh, but we don't have one of those for our device. So I'm having to use the ones from the DHD
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LeeDroid:
+1 DesireHD is almost identical hardware wise, should be a fairly easy to port IMO ;)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
The HDH is currently supported on CM7 so should get the CM9 treatment at some point. The new Ice Cream Sandwich Trebuchet Launcher for CM9 should kiss ass. So that would get my vote for a port. CM9 will as usual be ICS on steroids.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well I've attempted a port of the ICS they have now and it won't boot. I want to make an edit to the init.rc in the boot image but I can't get it to recompile
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I would not expect it to boot unless you hack a compatible boot loader for it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
yeah that's what i was thinking. I mean..it's not dead because I can get a logcat out of it. So I'm not done yet :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] grkdotnot:
The flyer is more similar with the rezound but ice dev.is very alpha stages.at this moment. If you are looking for nicely built ice at this out. I'd highly recommend checking protekk's ics build for dinc2/tbolt.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cimer:
The Virtuous Team has been interested in the flyer, however they want to see how much support they have before they do it. If it is done it will be Virtuous Quattro (AOSP ICS w/ Tweaks). I posted a topic in the general section if you want to show your support.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CarpeNoctem:
This is indeed a very cool initiative to port ICS my concerns are regarding the sylus support, will it be possible to port the applications to ICS or is it dependent on Sense in what case it will probably be very hard until HTC release an updated version of it, no?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] devator22:
The scribe technology is part of sense. HTC would have to release the api's for anything to be ported, which may or may not happen. The best we could probably hope for is them releasing a new tablet based on ics that someone could port over to us.

So my port from the desire has made a bit of progress i suppose. After flashing i get past the splash screen then get stuck at a black screen where i can use adb commands. this is what i get from logcat:

Any ideas? I'm assuming kernel edits need to be done. Some suggested that the BOOTCLASSPATH in the init.rc needs to be changed to that of ICS but i did that and it makes it hang on the splash screen

Any chance this would help? Qualcomm released drivers for Adreno 2xx.

https://developer.qualcomm.com/foru...-optimization-adreno/8081?page=3#comment-6691
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
The kernel needed a lot of changes to work correctly under ICS, so I just added in a lot of commits from the ICS branch of another kernel, and I think I'll have a kernel with all the changes merged in within an hour. My quick and dirty ICS ROM is also ready, but the original kernel was erroring on some genlock stuff, because the kernel didn't have that Genlock support. I added those files, and a lot more patches, and hopefully this kernel will be a good base for getting ICS to run :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DooMLoRD:
to get ICS working u need some basic patches:

1) patch the touch screen driver with BTN & PRESSURE parts

2) add GENLOCK driver

3) add QUOTA2

4) update adreno drives to latest ICS ones from CAF

some more things but this is what i remember at the moment
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
I added Quota2, I'm using Adreno drivers from the Desire HD, the kernel is patched with modifications by LorD ClockaN for KGSL, and I don't have a clue where to start for the touchscreen part, so I'll check out how much work it is. Thanks :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Since you guys are talking about adreno drivers I would like to post this: https://developer.qualcomm.com/deve...phics-optimization-adreno/tools-and-resources .

It's the offical ICS drivers, and I believe it's already been made into an XDA story.

Also I would ask Lord Clockan about the touchscreen parts. Flinny from Andromadus said that it was the DHD guys who implemented the touchscreen patches for the kernel.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
I was getting an error all the time that it couldn't create the dalvik cache (no such file or directory), and a simple mkdir /cache/dalvik-cache fixed it. Have to integrate that change in the update-script, shouldn't be difficult at all.

Currently, the kernel gets to Android itself, Dalvik starts fine, but something is erroring then, trying to figuring it out...

Edit: http://pastebin.com/3cfYwwzC is the current logcat. We haven't figured out yet what is causing this, because we got this far about half an hour ago and I'm pretty tired, so I'll look further into this tomorrow. I think this is the most important part that's causing it:

E/libgenlock( 1759): genlock_create_lock: open genlock device failed (err=Permission denied)

E/msm7x30.gralloc( 1759): alloc_impl: genlock_create_lock failed
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Character Zero:
You guys probably know this already but I looked around about the genlock thing. Seems you need to have it enabled in the kernel and correct permissions. Thats as far as I got, couldn't figure out how the set the permissions though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KB112:
Thanks to all for continuing their work and efforts on this!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DooMLoRD:
The sysfs is not getting correct permissions... I think the ramdisk /kernel source itself needs to set correct permissions for genlock... Let me check and get back to u...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Uploading the ROM and the kernel which errors at the genlock, based on Lord Clockan's ICS ROM (a lame port atm, with just a few mods to get it running on our device)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
It boots?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Boots as in, it tries to load up ICS? Yes.

Boots as in, load all APKs and see the GUI? No.

Dalvik VM starts up, but something is causing the system to stop and load it up again, and right before that error, it gives the error about genlock.

So no, you can't use it yet, all you can do for now is look at a logcat which gives you an error, and it's up to you to fix that.

ZIP of XK ICS Mod 1.1 Kernel: http://recluster.net/ICS4FLY/xkicsmod_v1.1.zip with support for Quota2, and Genlock, modules included. Kernel also works with Honeycomb (using it now actually)

Flash the ZIP of the ROM, and flash the kernel on top of it without rebooting. Then reboot, and logcat to see what's going on.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:

I tried changing the bootclasspath to the correct one but it wont boot after doing that.

This is without using the kernel
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DooMLoRD:
HTC devices have this rmt_storage service... Check the ramdisk, init.*.rc files... I think the service may not be getting the correct "class"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
Your port has the wrong libc.so. One time I got into a loop, the file libc.so was mentioned somewhere. I replaced it, and it did nothing but showing that rmt_storage message.

It's probably better ATM to work on the ZIP I uploaded here, because that one already manages to start Dalvik and Dexopt the framework files, it's this genlock thing that's causing issues.

Perhaps we can extract the ramdisk of Lord Clockans Boot.img for Desire HD, and check how he uses genlock, and apply that change to our ramdisk.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Alright I'll take a look at yours

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DooMLoRD:
there is a small hack to get screen working...

there u have to enable google touch detection in the sysfs...

do this.... if u have a ramdisk/ROM which supports init.d scripts just add the following to a file and save it:

#!/system/bin/sh
echo '1' > /sys/android_touch/event_google

save it as a shell script in init.d folder and give it correct premissions (777 is best)

touch screen should start working in rom :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Chaosz-X:
We can only fix some stuff if we can modify the ramdisk, which is a problem atm. For some reason, the boot.img's we pack refuse to boot. If someone experienced (DoomLord?) can teach us how to do it the right way, it would be really appreciated!

We followed tutorials, but mkbootimg simply does not work for us..
