Hi guys

Off topic from electrickery and need a little guidance ,to the forum mods this isn't so much a question more of a plee for help ;)

There,s far more brains on this forum than i could ever wish to meet so your time is very much appreciated

Ok i work for a local firm running fast launch services ie pilot boats , stores medivacs , tug boats and so on , we run 3 crews of 2 persons 24 7 / 365

so at the moment were rotating on 7 days 12 hour shifts into 7 nights 12 hour shifts into 7 days off repeat

This morning we find out that one of our guys who retires in feb this year will not be getting replaced due to financial gain of the company and also the shipping world are struggling /cutting back so work is pretty lean

we have all been racking our brains on how to cover these hours with 5 guys in a sensible manner but could do with some pointers on the situation as this isn,t our field ,

Any help /previous experience with this would be most most welcome

again thanks for your time people

any reply to this is warmly received

Regards

Alfie

so.. internal storage on my a501 is mounted as /sdcard

i ve just installed a new rom after full format and i cant use the /sdcard directory anymore.

all files and folders are there, but their attributes have been reset. folders show up as 0kb files and i cant access nor delete them.

i tried every format option available in cwm. i tried deleting them in windows after connecting the tablet with usb, nothing works :(

/sdcard mounts /dev/fuse. this is confusing. its as if i m stuck with corrupted inodes and no data.

what can i do to recover a functional internal storage ? :'(
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Part of your internal storage is recognized as SD Card. Your SD should be recognized as External SD. This you should already know.

Now, to totally clear your internal memory, boot back to CWM

If you use the most recent CWM;

If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed. (if you use an older version of CWM, you should be able to find this option)

Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage

1. Format System

2. Format Cache

3. Format Dalvik

4. Format Flexrom

This should get you going with the format, then reflash your rom.

Also, which rom were you trying to flash?
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.bryce:
Thanks :)

i was flashing Alexandra precisely ^^;

edit: ok nvm this is the link i was missing to update cwm :

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You should have the option to do a complete format in your CWM (toggle option) Even on the older version.

I'll suspect the download may have gotten corrupted somehow.

Go to Tegraowners, and get the update zip for the recovery. Just copy to SD, boot and flash it. Simple process.

DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!!!!! If you do, I can't help you.

---------- Post added at 09:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 PM ----------

Well, you can do it that way, but it's the same recovery I think you have now.

(it's a long story behind that)

I would still suggest you just copy the update.zip to your sd from Thor (ver 1.6), and flash it.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.bryce:
yep... so i did this... and still got corrupted data :'(

here s what i did step by step :

- manual update and reboot to thor recovery 1.6rev2

- toggle internal storage

(i read "backup and restore /data/media: Enabled)

- went to mounts and storage and formatted system, cache and flexrom

- went to wipe menu and wiped cache and dalvik-cache

then install zip from sdcard and alexandra rev4

it doesnt work --; i still cant use any file/folder listed under /sdcard :(
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
You formatted all 4, including Flexrom, correct?

Because I've never heard of this happening before.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.bryce:
i also tried the following :

toggle internal storage : enabled

use internal storage as /sdcard

format /sdcard

i read E:cant format_volume "/sdcard"Error formatting /sdcard!

:(:(
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Hang on, asking for advice. I'm lost with this one right now.

---------- Post added at 10:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

What's strange, is that the rom flashed normally? Up and running? Because I am puzzled to say the least. You may want to try flashing another rom. Basically, the rom should not have messed with the stuff you had installed there. It usually doesn't. Try flashing another rom, and see what happens. Try Harkon. It's a stock based like mine, with only a kernel to kick it.

Also, which rom did you have before this?
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.bryce:
only system, cache and flexrom in mounts and storage,

then cache and dalvik cache in wipe menu

so i tried again with all 4, and it gives me an error on format /data

i read "Formatting /data..."

"Skipping erase of /data/media."

"Done."

then i wiped all 3 in wipe menu (including factory reset)

and did all this again without switching to internal storage because i m clueless at this point.

flashed back the rom.

i m stuck --;

is there a way to mount /sdcard from another location ? or format /dev/fuse from a terminal ?

i tried with another rom i dont think alexandra had anything to do with it.
[Acer Iconia A500] mr.bryce:
ok nvm i messed up

i did a chmod on /data earlier in the afternoon kind of retarded i know.

i chmod it to 777 now and got my files back.

sorry i wasted our time --; and thanks for helping
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
The formats should have been all 4; (with toggle enabled)

System

Data

Cache

Flexrom

According to all reason, this should have formatted your complete internal memory.

Still waiting to hear word, but I might not get anything tonight. We're in a way different time zone, and we have day jobs.

I would hate to say return to a stock status (run the stock acer rom ), as I would like to try and work this out. The problem, is with all the flashes, and all the downloads, this is the first I heard of this issue. Sort of makes it "my turf".

---------- Post added at 10:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 PM ----------

Dude, I am just glad it's working now ;)

And damn glad it wasn't something I did.

Most Rom Mod's will tell you, when something happens with their installs, we take it personally, and like to see things working.

Anyhow, it's my turf, as it is with most Mod's.

Glad it's working now, and in the future, LEAVE SH_T ALONE!!!

I'm an old guy, and my heart can't take it ;)

Be good, Any issue, drop in my thread. ;)

Hey, I did everything that was going on on this thread and I had no luck. Can you explain what is a chmod or send me a link of what it is? I am stock at the recovery which the 321 euu installation provides.

Can't format on custom 321 EUU installation recovery, nor 1.7.3, nor 1.8.1 Thor version. I don't want to imagine that data partition is bad as hardware.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
So I called TMo and they're sending me a replacement G2x. I've seen a number of people claim that they never unroot their phones before sending them in. Is this true? I'm inclined to believe that this would cause issues but I'd just like everyone's two cents before I send this in.

Also, there's a thread in the dev section for reverting to stock. However, this uses SuperOneClick, a method for FroYo based G2x only. So, if I cannot send my phone in rooted, is there a method for reverting phones that have been updated to GB?

Thanks. And sorry if this has been posted before. :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I believe you can use S.O.C. after already achieving root to help you revert back to stock. You can just go back to gingerbread no need for froyo.

Easy way to fix it is to format the /system in CWM then flash stock recovery with NVflash. Tell T-Mobile that the phone will not boot and your problem is fixed. No need to flash back to stock rom.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Hi, I've produced a bootable SDCard. It requires a minimum of a 4Gig external SDCard. Download it here: http://www.multiupload.com/ZHHUB3FZFS

Problems:

Wifi does not work.

About:

I call it a RAM as opposed to a ROM because the filesystem is not image based, but flat-filesystem based, like your desktop. You can easily read and write as permissions are set for that. This can be useful for those who would like to play around with skinning the nook, or simply learn more about Android. You will need a Linux or Mac computer to read the EXT4 filesystem.

Instructions:

To make your own bootable SDCard, use Linux, untar.gz the file. Mount an SDCard, then use the following code block and your own knowledge of the command prompt.

sudo dd if=MyUnCompressedImage of=/dev/MySDCardRoot

where MyUnCompressedImage is the name of the uncompressed file(/home/adam/Desktop/AdamOutlerFile), and MySDCardRoot is the main SD device(/dev/sdb), and not a Partition (/dev/sdc1).

Using a Linux computer, you can modify your own custom ROM using this image. Just remember.. This is a development tool/ proof of concept and not a complete project.

Here are the technical details:

Partition1 contains:

MLO(xLoader)

uboot.bin(secure U-Boot)

flashing_boot.bin(unsecure U-Boot)

boot.bin(kernel)

Partition2 contains:

Linux/Android Filesystem -(On most Androids, this would be Ramdisk, System, Data, Cache and others)

Here is a video demonstrating that it works.

[youtube]tFn-BnEIRkc[/youtube]

I am done working with Android for now and will be working on Ubuntu from SDCard as well as Recovery from SDCard (with damaged bootloaders).

Credits:

bauwks - for the non-modchip based crack

xIndirect -for providing knoledge and support

Loglud - for sending a tablet to me.

Pokeyi9000 - for locating the UART port

hkvc - for showing how to hack uboot
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Additional:

To make more storage space, increase the size of the system partition.

Adb is enabled by default and nook storage automount is disabled by default.

This RAM contains NTHiddenSettings, HomeCatcher, LauncherPro and a few other basics.

Motivation:

I have now officially met the goal stated in my first post in the Nook Tablet community seen here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20091667&postcount=8. Last night, in the chat room, someone wanted to dispute the fact that I used the words "hardware solution".. If you'd like a hardware solution, this code can be run on an ATTiny4313 hooked to UART to totally obliterate the security on the nook tablet. Here is the code for the first hardware bootloader unlock I came up with for the Nook Tablet:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sungod88:
This is awesome and really great work. I can't see the book to well so I was wondering what os this is running. From your descriptrion you have ubuntu to the sd. Also do we have to have linux to make this work or can I do it with windows. I know its not done but was wondering what your end goal is.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
This is not Ubuntu. That is a separate project. I don't have any goal with this, it is a proof of concept and it is enough to get the Nook Tablet totally booting an unsecure "ROM" from the sdcard. As I stated,

otherwise it's mostly nook... However it's unlocked bootloader, unsecure kernel, flattened filesystem ramdisk-system-data-cache, and booting from SDCard.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sungod88:
That is awesome so it is similarly can be similar to the cynagen mod 7 for nc? With the insecure kernel a dev could make their own. If I knew how I would do it myself since I have tons of free time. Anyway you could point me in the right direction to learn? I would love to help
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
Download the image, make a card and start learning how to work with Linux. You can learn alot by using an example. After that, grab source from the Kindle Fire, remove the stupid modules which fail to load and use that kernel source to build your own.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Myque:
Tried with a 16gb sd but seems to take a looooot of time, is that normal?

Nvm I aborted it but tried it, actually it worked but took me to nook tablet welcome screen (my brother freaked out bcuz he though he lost all his stuff)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
The first boot will always take a long time. It has to build a cache because it has no data.

Just to confirm this rom is just a standard NT rom with root access yes? It's nothing different from having the standard tablet and rooting it other than it's running from the SDcard?

Luckily we all know it's just the way his is. I feel sorry for the total newbies that have never read any of his posts before and get a reply from him. bet they go off in a huff lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
I've found my style of response quite effective in reducing the numbers of noob questions which could easily be solved by a simple search or reading of the first post. The alternative is to answer each question individually and continuously repeat the same solution page-after-page. I want to respond to each person and I check on every one of my threads, however, it's not worth it to repeat the OP on each page. So, after 3,000 posts, Ive found that niceness gets you nowhere and a straight-forward, no-nonsense, captain-obvious, point-out-the-flaws answer is the most effective way to convey a message.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I bet it does. I've also found that saying "Why don't you just F-Off and read the god damn post you useless idiot" works well for that too :)

Anyway, I digress.

Once again thanks for all your efforts. I really did think you'd be the first to have a working honeycomb / ICS rom released for the nook tablet but it would appear it's far more difficult than all of you have been able to manage yet.

More time will tell who'll win that challenge I guess.

Such a shame that you didn't all manage to club together and win the money for the Charity as per the other post. Wonder what happens to all the money that that dodgy website had taken in donations to get the Bootable rom on SDCard? They just seem rather dodgy full stop to me...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
I'm working on too many things. I want Ubuntu. We need a total stock recovery which can handle bad bootloaders. I'm working on them. On top of this... I'm supporting several devices and I just added 2 more including GalaxyS2 and Asus Transformer.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
I believe, from reading other posts, she is trying to create a stock rom that is bootable from sdcard. I think that was why she was wanting this. I may be wrong, and if I am, don't mind me =)
[Nexus One General] theletterj:
In the other thread about random reboots, everyone had T-mobile and some people said that it was the SIM, or the "4G" network that was causing the restarts. I'm with AT&T and not really sure what to believe since AT&T 4G is LTE and the N1 doesn't have an LTE radio.

It started about 5 or 6 weeks ago. Regardless of what the phone is doing, it will just randomly restart. However, this only happens in some parts of the city. I've had it happen zero times in my apartment, but at work, it'll restart more than a dozen times through out the day just sitting on my desk. Is that indicative of a radio problem? It's running stock 2.3.6. Cache wipes do nothing. Logcat says nothing. Different batteries haven't helped.

Anyone else having the same problems?
[Nexus One General] britoso:
It sucks when that happens, fastest way out is to start from scratch.

It may be a good time to install ICS :) (backup everything first)
[Nexus One General] theletterj:
I'm thinking about just going ICS, but if this is a radio problem, which it looks like, I'm not sure if that will help. I found that if I turn off 3G and only work off EDGE, it remedies the restarts. Seems like it's the 3G radio.

Can anyone using an AT&T N1 confirm what radio they're using? If anything I can reflash it to an older one to see if that helps.

If this persists, I'll just pick up the GSM Galaxy Nexus next week, but I'd loe to get to the bottom of this.
[Nexus One General] mrandroid:
What radio version is the phone currently running on?

Try upgrading your radio to the newest. Also, if you have a custom recovery, try wiping everything and starting from scratch...

Do This: http://www.darklome.com/2011/07/update-your-n1-radio/

Get yourself Amon-Ra Recovery (partitions sd card better than CWM)

then while in recovery, wipe **everything**, re-partition your SD Card (to get rid of any garbage on it (0 swap, 512 ext, rest on fat (also, upgrade ext to ext 3, not ext4) and install a new ROM. I would recommend something like Kang-o-rama.

so upgrade radio

install amon ra

wipe EVERYTHING

Repartition SD Card

Convert from Ext2 to Ext 3

Install Kang-o-Rama

reboot and everything will be brand new and clean.

If you still have issues after that then get a new phone.

If this helped hit THANKS
[Nexus One General] Scridgeon:
Radio

I can confirm it's a radio issue. I had the same problem when I was on GB roms. I'm on the T-Mo network and the reboots stop when I turn the radio off and go wifi only. I've found the reception to be better on ICS roms but the reboots are still there. Just a hell of a lot less of them.
[Nexus One General] theletterj:
I'm on 5.08.00.04 right now. Will try updating to 5.12.00.04 and report back in a little bit.
[Nexus One General] theletterj:
Okay, 5.12 is no better than 5.08 in terms of these reboots. Still getting them just as frequently. Is there another radio I should be using? I'm under the impression that these are the two newest ones and the ones you need to run GB and and CM ROM.

What I don't understand is that I've had Gingerbread on my phone for months, and 5.08 presumably even longer than that. But before a few weeks ago, I've never had a problem with my N1 just rebooting itself. Anyone have any insights on this?
