CWM cant mount the sd card(external or "internal")

I have a question tho, the regular boot on the tablet would apply the update.zip as long as it was found in the root of the sd card. How can I get that function back? as opposed to CWM?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Weefeeri:
Hi all!

I have a problem with installing the cmw recovery for my A100

I have an unlocked bootloader and the lastest leakde ICS and full root permission.

When i try to install the cwm i got a message Fastboot:Not supporting the command in lock mode.

What can i do?

I hope you can understand me:D
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] iamloco:
thanks

this solved my problem too

after I did this I think I found the problem , I didn't install the A100 drivers it is using my Gnex drivers.

if someone else have this problem try with a100 drivers

Recovery Verified Failed

hi i did it the terminal emulator way and everytime i try to boot into recovery it says Recovery Verified Failed ... Any Idea What Was Wrong With The Image ?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] labros1995:
hi guys.is there any way i can backup and restore from my external sd card?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
At the moment, this recovery will not allow that. You will have to move backups manually (aroma recovery file manager can be helpful for this - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1711293).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] masr1979:
That feature is not overwritten by CWN. If you put a proper update.zip it should flash it when you boot up holding the volume key. Check the log in CWM and it should tell you that it attempted to flash, but couldn't find the file, or whatever. Try ZeroNull's stock image. I actually went through a somewhat similar problem where my internal storage disappeared, but would mount in recovery ok. Regardless of what I flashed the problem persisted; solved it by flashing the above image. I did remove bootloader.blob and /recovery from the image though... I'm not tempting fate and flashing back to stock bootloader.

This part contradicts

When booting the tab does your bootloader say it's unlocked? I would try the unlocking

process again.

Botched download?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] -DarkKnight-:
so i did that. recoverry worked the first tuime. i got everything backed up. i rebooted back to android but when i tried to boot into recovery the second time, it would go to stock recovery and give me an exclamation point
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Because you left /system/etc/install-recovery.sh intact and it overwrote cwm. Its been mentioned quite a few times that you must

Root

Replace boot loader with a200

Unlock boot loader

when you boot back into android delete install-recovery.sh

Install cwm/twrp

done.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] htc_softbank:
To be fair, I didn't know either. I had a hell of a time getting this recovery on and had the same issue as the guy above... I had to do a mixture of the steps in two of the posts who had a working fix. I basically read through the whole thread and didn't notice Replace boot loader with a200 or when you boot back into android delete install-recovery.sh I'm actually reading through this thread now because the clock work recovery is still holding, but now I'm getting a "can't mount xxx" error when I try to do a nandroid backup or install zip from sd card....

Maybe someone can make a new updated guide? I dunno if the OP is still around, but maybe the thread can be updated with the new steps to help out all the newbs/people trying to do this stuff. :)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
It's because I said what the scripts you guys are running are doing. Trust me, I know the process, I know what it's doing, I know how to do it by hand without running scripts. The process I outlined above is correct.

Root the device (this must be done FIRST)

Flash the A200 bootloader (this is required for fastboot oem unlock to work)

Reboot back into android

Delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh (if you don't you overwrite your custom recovery with stock)

Install your custom recovery

From this point on you can backup, flash new ROMs, do whatever you want.

This is correct. If you don't believe me, read the scripts.

edit: Maybe I should clarify WHY this is required in this order.

The A100 bootloader can NOT be unlocked. The unlocking bootloader script you run in fact puts the A200 bootloader onto your A100, allowing it to be unlocked. If you don't unlock, you can't boot custom recoveries or custom ROMs, you will get verified failed and it will sit there looking pretty. Useless.

The reason I mentioned deleting (or renaming for that matter) the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file is BECAUSE it isn't mentioned where it should be in the directions, resulting in people flashing their new recovery, and then losing it again. You can go back and forth flashing recoveries all you want, removing this file is required to keep it past a reboot. The file is also used for the crossix mount swap mod, in which case you will leave it alone, it won't touch the recovery.

The first time I went through this entire thing, no one had mentioned the file being renamed or moved, and it overwrote my recovery, so I had to rename it, then flash again. I say to do it when I do to save that extra time and flashing. I'm helping you, trust me. Also as the file sits in /system/etc you need root and system R/W to mess with it, so again, Root, Unlock, Recovery. In that order.

Oh another edit lol you can do the file rename any time after root, it doesn't have to be after the boot loader step, I put it there because you generally reboot after rooting and the next script also reboots you, so I chose that time because of that.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] htc_softbank:
Ah cool. I had no idea it does all that. I had a hard time getting the new recovery to stay after the boot, and I guess that's why.

Clockwork Recovery Mod is now on my A100 when I boot into recovery, but when I go to backup or install from SD I get a can't mount blah blah error. Does that mean I need to re-flash the recovery?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
You can if you want, I would personally suggest twrp recovery, however the newer cwm works just as well. Its a personal choice, nothing against cwm, its been my go to recovery for years.

Also see about going into mounts and manually mounting partitions. Recovery also will fail to mount if there is any filesystem errors or corruption, so possibly consider formatting your SD card as fat32 on your PC.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] htc_softbank:
Cool, I went to twrp and it's much better. :)

Actually I discovered why nothing would load in recovery. I had encryption enabled so it messes with the recovery and partition. (hindsight is 20/20) ;p

Ok so I have read all of these 14 pages and I can't find someone with a similar problem so let me explain.

I have this tablet. NEVER rooted, not unlocked, no CWM. This tab is completely stock with the official ICS. Never been plugged in any computer for anything.

It keeps getting stuck at the acer logo, and when i try recovery i get this pic

what should i do first?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
You could try placing an Update.zip on your external SD card then booting into recovery.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] tidewaterns:
I have the same problem except mine is running ICS and it is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader. When I run through the commands in adb everything works perfectly. When I hold down the power and volume down button to boot into recovery it boots up with the same screen shot as above but if I tap the home button it loads a recovery but not clockworkmod recovery. Any reason why this is happening?

Make sure you first delete or rename the install-recovery.sh file, in the /etc directory. Then run through the procedures to flash the recovery.

You answered yourself, it's /etc. It's also linked to /system/etc, rename in one also renames it in the other. Use a root explorer and navigate back to the very base, you'll see like /etc /data /system.

Dear All,

I was facing the same Issue. And I know this thread is very old and Issue may be resolved. Just in case somebody like me searching for resolution can do the following :

1. for XP => Install Active Sync

2. for Win Vista / Win 7 => Install Windows Mobile Device Center

@me_malik: Are you sure this way it will help?

As far as I remember, Active sync/WMDC is for devices running on windows mobile up to version 6.5.5 and are discontinued afterward. The USB drivers installed for MAGDLR or CLK are different and can be found in the AndroidSDK folders.

I am responding because I am also facing the same issue and WMDC is already installed on my computer for the other HTC phone still running on Windows Mobile 6.5.5.

Thanks for the response though.

Hello I have look around the android market and the internet but still haven't found an exercise app that main focus its at home exercises or no machine needed exercises.

I know that there’s great apps out there like JeFit but most of the exercises need gym equipment.

Im a teenager that trying to stay fit but don't have time to go to the gym.

So I'm asking people who have use Android Exercises Apps before and still use them.What do you believe is the best home exercise app. If you would be so kind to name so pros and cons about the app

THANK YOU
[Android General] TheSniperFan:
I had the similar reasons to not go to the gym. Not enough money to pay Capoeira and the gym.

Anyway, what you're looking for is some nice BWE's.

As much as I'd like to recommend you some apps, there is NOT A SINGLE ONE that comes close to the book "Never Gymless". I'd rather purchase the book than rely on some app (paid or free) for a single reason:

Never Gymless is complete. It features every aspect with detailed explanations and when you read it you'll that the author (who is very well known amongst fans of BWE's) knows what he's talking about. Whatever he says is based on work of famous scientists and/or his own experience. (The list with the works he cited is two entire pages long).

Yeah a book might not fit in your pocket, but it's readable in direct sunlight and never runs out of battery. ;-)

If you want something "on the go", just take photos of certain pages.

It's not expensive and it's absolutely worth it. I imported it to Germany which wasn't cheap, but I'd never regret it.

That said, what the author understand under "fit" is something only a few people in the gym reach. They might have muscles, but no condition whatsoever. The idea behind the book is to fully replace a gym and according to the author it works.
[Android General] peconaut:
For what I'm reading Its seens that the books has work for you very will so ill check it out

Hello everyone!

Not so long time ago I've finally rooted my phone - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24858619&postcount=18

Unfortunately there's a next problem... Before I rooted my Desire Z, phone was working smoothly and there was practically no lag. But now my phone is working much slowly than before, even when I'm using Advanced Task Killer to reduce active applications. It lags when I'm browsing applications, when I'm opening them (now after choosing application to run my phone is not responding for about 10 seconds, before there was not problems like this) and some other situations.

What is a cause of this problem and how to make my phone running like before rooting, or faster?

Thanks for advance.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
like the last two posts say, dont use a task killer, they cause more harm than good. if you must use watchdog (free in the market)

ok so we need more info, your rooted. what guide did you follow.

power off. then hold down volume down button when powering on - write down everything you see here.

then do you have a custom recovery? did you flash a custom rom? did you do a full wipe?

I would suggest using the V6 Supercharger script(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991276). Moreover, you may wish to shift to a different ROM. I would recommend the following:

Sense: Android Revolution (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493404)

ICS AOSP: Andromadus Audacity (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349864)

ICS Sense: Most have certain problems and thus I suggest you hold a certain amount of patience if you wish to Flash a ICS Sense ROM.

Also, you may wish to note some recent non-ICS ROMs already possess built-in RAM optimizations.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
Just gaining root won't slow your system down.

Did you flash a different ROM or anything?

And don't use task killers, they are actually more trouble than they're worth. Android already manages applications just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
You guys are saying that task managers are bad but im using sense4 and that has a stock task manager. Is it bad to use that as well? It usually frees up a lot of ram
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Freeing up ram dosent always equal a good thing. Ram on an android device is not the same as on your pc. Android holds important apps and recentely used ones in ram so we can open apps faster, multitask, not loose important info ie messages.

The system itself will regulate what apps to keep in ram and when to close them down. I suggest watchdog as a task killer because it allows you to see if an app in ram is actually taking up cpu or not. Blindly killing apps often leads to undesireable affects as well as potentially faster battery drain and slower speeds as these "killed" apps try to reopen or are shut down when they should be open.

Do a google search you will find plenty of info on why not to use task killers and why it is ok sometimes

If this won't convince you know that cyanogen won't even look at a log cat to fix an issue if there is a task killer present
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
+1 to this. Root is just a change in file permissions, it doesn't "do" anything extra that would slow the system down.

Task Killer on the other hand, may be the problem in itself. Task killers aren't needed in Android. Android manages tasks by itself. Killing tasks may actually be slowing the system down. Killing a task before its done just causes it to respawn, sucking up CPU cycles.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:28 PM ----------

Or the issue can be some other change the OP made after rooting. The OP hasn't given much info (stock ROM or otherwise, or other mods) so its impossible to say what may be slowing the phone down.

The great wheel of roms being released whether on CM9 or anyother developer or developer team is kinda of being put on hold for the SGS2 (T-Mobile) because they haven't release the official rom yet which contains all the correct drivers for our phones.

Until then, you can flash a modded version which was originally made for the skyrocket (AT&T version) which includes tweeks and hacks to get it to work on our hardware.
