I tested my phone and most probably the emmc chip is broken it says.

I already re-flashed CWM succesfully with rom-manager but no result. Always gives me the can't mount/open E: /sdcard/ blabla

And every rom/zip files installation ends with an error.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
well to use rom manager you are in your phones os. not a fried emmc

if this is true and your phone is functional as a "phone" then chance are you have a cwm recovery problem. flash 4ext recovery and problem is solved... more than likely
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
It's important to know that when you are booted off of the SD Card, you cannot flash any recovery zips onto it. When your an update.zip you did not install the OS to the internal, as such flashing a zip after the fact will have absolutely no effect on the OS sitting on the SD card. Also any applications like Rom Manager that requires a working internal memory will not work. So it's best not to use the OS for this purpose since it would be pointless with a fried emmc and you don't want to mess with the recovery on a fried chip if it's already working. Otherwise you risk losing your phone way to get something going.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raza1:
That's my point. So what Demkantor wrote is not possible for me. Flashing is impossible because it stops or gives errors at the end of the installation. Only the use of an update.zip file is posible for me now. And already did some tests for that emmc chip and the result is always the same, it's broken.

Now I'm just waiting for a cheap phone with a broken glass or something, so I can use the motherboard from it.

@ Catherall;

Is it possible to use other sound files for ringtones? I tried some things but no result.

And creating an account for gmail/google market, is that possible?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] fr3akBut:
If you grab the GB Gapps.zip, extract it, then install it manually (google for how-to), then market / play, maps, navigation, mail etc work fine. You'll get problems with some other apps saying they aren't compatible with your device within market / play, but you can sideload the apks that won't directly install.

:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Nipqer:
Dunno where this came from, but I have it on my server, I'm guessing I mirrored it for Catherall when he created this method:

Boot_from_SD_with_working_Market.zip

dunno if it has gmail and what not.

ESET blocks the website as it could have potentially dangerous content. :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kbeezie:
could be the naming of some of the files as he is hosting some .exe files on there (such as the HTC USB drivers), which is often seen as potential malware by many web security software (hence why it's typically better to zip those up to prevent false alarms of sort).

Course a lot of things related to rooting/jailbreaking/etc are often seen as 'dangerous'.

PS: I have a separate thread based off this that also has both Google apps and Google Play Store already integrated into it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] raza1:
Only thing is that I already have market on it only creating an account is impossible and so market is useless.

Trust me, everything on my site is legit. Though I should probably clean it up a little.

Is there any way of getting this method working for different phones?

I tried this with my HTC Incredible S, it boots but obviously the hardware is different so most of it doesn't work...

EDIT: I find that update.zip works, but not boot.img. Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] demkantor:
Need to use a rom and kernel meant for your phone
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anonymousthing:
Yes, but how do I use my rom (CM7 for IncS) and put it in BootManager? I have tried making my own system.img from the rom but it does not work :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] anonymousthing:
bump, anybody know what system.img format he is using? :(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] PaulDavidZamora:
HELLO, THE DOWNLOAD LINK IS NO LONGER EXIST. You can climb it, thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] spowser:
Yes - Sure would appreciate a working link. In fact, all i need is the update.zip file from it. I have the other files.

I used to use this method during the last little while after my emmc ram went bad - worked well. Would like to get it working for my 7yr to play with. I must have erased the SD Card and an old laptop has all the files except for the update.zip file.

i am able to get it running using "fastboot boot boot.img" but that does not use the SDcard - at least that is my understanding of it.

thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, running CheckROM HD 6 (Android 2.3.6).

I also running SiyahKernel 2.3.14 and SetCPU 2.3.0.

This is the thing:

I set on the first page (Main) the governor to "conservative" and also check "Set on boot".

But everytime I reboot my phone, the governor goes back to "ondemand".

​

I had given to SetCPU root privileges.

Is there any way to fix it?

Or is there any way to check if something is overwriting the SetCPU setup?

I used to have older versions of SetCPU installed... and after so many upgrades... maybe the new versions are saving the setting in a different file/folder?

Help?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Greg:
Yep, just uninstall set cpu
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:
But where does SetCPU defines the init script for changing the Governor or something like that?

Does SetCPU do something like this: http://androidforums.com/esteem-all-things-root/510543-fix-cpu-governors-not-sticking.html

init.qcom.post_boot.sh
echo "ondemand" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

good afternoon friend, on the main screen you must press the menu key and give you perflock disabler for Governor Acknowledge the default one, then you must manually setting it and then to check on set on boot and go.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepemosca:
Hello! I've tried what you suggest on "perflock"... But SetCPU says that I don't have the "perflock".

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsv-1:

Unfortunately voltage control doesn't have the option to set the parameters for the governors... Sampling rate, samplig down factor, etc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] November13:
How about using ExTweaks?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lsv-1:
Nope, ExTweaks doesn't have the option to change the parameters of the governors either. :( just setcpu but when you change the parameters they are not applied upon boot.

Hello, I'm new to the xperia arc S, i already have a samsung galaxy S and it's really easy flashing with that device. Now comming to this new one I'm having many problems.

[Kindle Fire General] jocampbe:
So no matter what I do my KF drivers are loading under "SAMSUNG Android Phone," not just "Android Phone," although it does show as "Android Composite Device." So "ADB devices" always comes up blank. I've searched here and elsewhere and a few folks seem to have had this issue, though there was never any resolution posted. Any suggestions?

I've tried using the search utility "Everything" to just search for everything that says Samsung and delete it, yet the problem persists. I've also tried uninstalling everything Android related and start from scratch, but that didn't help either. I've used two different Windows machines, but unfortunately I've used my Galaxy Nexus with both computers, so they BOTH see my Kindle as a Samsung device--at least I think that's why. Once Kindle Water is updated to root 6.3 I'll try that on my Mac, but then I'll be out of options.

I really don't want a stock KF and I'm itching to get some AOSP goodness on this thing. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for the quick reply. I gave them both a shot and had really high hopes because when I plugged it in it didn't mount as a Samsung device immediately. But then it did. So frustrating!

it is taking the wrong driver by itself - maybe this can help:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22342376&postcount=6

Well I'm installing the driver manually, it is just putting it in the wrong place by itself. I uninstalled the driver and re-installed it again (after changing the driver signing setting per the link) with the same result: Android Composite ADB Interface created under the device name "Samsung Android Phone."

Sigh. I'm hoping the Mac solution for 6.3 works when it comes out.

Hey :) - nomen est omen - kind of :rolleyes:

To keep it as short as possible:

I rebooted my Wildfire into Recovery mode and wiped the Dalvik cache - after reboot all my linked apps are not working anymore and Link2Sd is missing from the application list - and also internal memory is full :/ ("installed" (autolink feature) about 340MB total apps to SD)

Redownloaded ES File Manager, and Sd-card "seems" to be "ok" (at least all the files seem to be there) - somehow i can't do anything on the Ext2 partition except delete files (only option available) - maybe this is not related to my problem.

I'm thankful for any input on how this could happen and/or fixing suggestions !

I'm using m1ndh4x8r's Rom with Link2Sd with a 1 GB ext4 partition and 512 linux swap partition...

So recently i was running out of space on my phone even with link2sd. So i found a post which tells us to run a command which would free up memory. Well it worked and my internal memory went from 14 MBs to 90+ MB.

When i first ran i got many force closes, but after like 3-4 restarts everything went normal. But this one thing remained. When I installed some new app, it doesn't run and force closes. I have to restart my phone after installing it to get it working again...

Please tell me if there is any solution for this... Is it a bug or something??

More info:

ROM: m1ndh4x8r's 2.1 sense.

SD card and partitions: Kingston 8 GB class 4: 1 GB ext4, 512 linux swap and rest fat32.

My apps are automatically linked when installed. Including davlic cache and all.

Do we get to use the full 16 GB storage as user memory?? I am a bit doubtful about it because even though Galaxy S have 16 GB advertised memory, user get to use around 13 GB only..

So One S users please let me know if thats the case or not...
[HTC One S] jodue:
no definitely not. if they advertise it as 16gb they actually want to say there is 16gb in it and we can use what the don't reserve for the os (~1gb i'd suspect). they said (in some early preview from mwc) that ~14.x (or something like that) will be accessable by the user. but yeah ... 14.8, 16. not really a big difference is there?!
