[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scaryshark:
What i would recomend would be to do a full wipe and install the stock froyo from BOOTLODER ie from a PD98IMG thing. ( i havent done this for over a year so my memory is a bit iffy, ypu should be able to find the froyo image from one of the rooting guides for, dont just jump in though i reccomend you throuroughly read those guides first).

Its ok to flash froyo onto it because the DHD was released as a froyo device, we didnt get gb untill about 6 months down the line

Also, ill explain my old situation to help you along.

I was on froyo

Accidentally updated to GB

Had to get temp root to get soff and goldcard etc to downgrade back to froyo

Back on froyo

Was supposed to install a rooted GB but accidently upgraded AGAIN back to GB by accident!

I then realised that my bootloader went back to stock with s on so i did that all over again

If i can find the guide ill try to get you some step by step instructions :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
DO NOT flash a froyo RUU is your phone was shipped with GB, you will mess the bootloader. Just try to find the GB OTA update.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
I second what glevitan has stated. If you have a recent Desire HD that came with gingerbread, never take the advice from someone who tells you to flash a froyo ROM. Not to mention, flashing a RUU or even a PD98IMG will not give you S-ON.

If your phone is pre Aug 2011 Then you may be alright in flashing the unbranded froyo and then let your phone update itself OTA. Good luck finding your RUU but I don't think it exists for Gingerbread.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmuruga:
So how do I find out what it was shipped with?

I got my original handset in June 2011, but had a problem with so, sent it to Vodafone for repair, they then sent a new Hutchison handset early this year. But as soon as I got it, I had to update it like 3 times to get to sense 3.0.

Does that mean it was froyo or GB?

Thnx for your help guys. :)

OK it looks like a honeycomb tablet. So basically it's designed to run your phone in landscape mode then. I'm guessing in portrait all would look wrong based on the screenshots.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tuffballa:
this should go in the OP because even I didnt have any in call audio and thought it was a bug which hasnt been fixed yet! but since this is a workaround for the audio bug..it should be in the op

Wow this is wicked cool!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
Hi guys. Just recently I've installed a custom ROM on my Galaxy S2. Before i attempted doing anything I've firstly rooted it then installed ROMmanager and installed "ClockworkMod" (to wipe out the data, cahce, and set to factory default) using CWM I installed 'hydrogen rom' on it (Before this i had the original stock kernel and stock rom on it).

My questions is that inside /emmc/ folder i can see my previous junk files left from the stock rom.

Another thing is when i plug my mobile to the PC via USB cable, i select 'mass storage' on my mobile however, i can

only

see "/mnt/sdcard.". I'm not even sure if its my SDCard or if its my internal. Either one is not showing up on my PC before it was showing both internal and external!! (microSDcard)

on actual root system folder, in the "/" i go into "emmc" folder, its exactly the same as "/mnt/emmc/" folder, are these just duplications can i delete BOTH, as i said earlier those are the things left from STOCK-ROM (It contains folders like DCIM,Data,Android, LOST.DIR,Samsung Apps which is not in use and i want to get rid of)

Same thing again inside "/sdcard/" (the current ROM) its same as "/mnt/sdcard/". I'm guessing the ROM installed it into my SDcard? But what happened to my internal storage? I can't even access it using PC.

can i just get rid of the folders its got all these unnecessary junk files left from original rom.

Also someone tell me if its safe to delete "/mnt/" folder because inside "/" root it contains both "/sdcard/" and "/emmc/"

Looking forward for solutions

Kindest regards

Thanks in advance

in latest hydrogen rom emmc is ur internal card and sdcard is ur external card.so it is not safe to delete it. u can make it opposite by flashing a mount fix file from hydrogen rom's thread. to see both internal and external card in ur pc u should use mtp.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
Too much confusion ._. Oke

/emmc/ = Internal --> Left over junk files

/sdcard/ = External --> HyDrOG3N-ICS 27.04

.... So i just installed hydrogen into my sdcard? Why wouldn't i be able to delete emmc folder though nothing is using it?

*EDIT*: Also the for the mount fix provided, there are no instructions I've got the mount-fix-patch. I can use CWM to install it, but what and where does it exactly switch to? Do i even need to edit the config batch files?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
all imp files will b there so wen u delete emmc ur phone like a blank pc,then u need to install stock rom to make it recognize tht its android ,jus like pc if u format the main drive its blank,an u got to install some os to make it work....don touch if u don kno an read some threads for beginners.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Phone memory is your devices system memory, where all the important stuff is stored, its a partition on your phones intenal memory

mnt/sdcard is your phones internal memory, the 16GB (probably shows up as 11.5 or there abouts in your Storage manager, as some is reserved for the phone memory, OS etc)

mnt/sdcard/external_sdcard is your removable memory card, the one you put in yourself, this is default location on Samsung based roms

emmc Some roms move the contents of mnt/sdcard (internal) to emmc Edit: based on the previous comments LEAVE your emmc folder intact
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
Thank you for the brief explanation, i understand now, and yes i was using original Samsung ROM provided by Vodafone (android v2.3.5) they kept saying we're going to release ICS didn't want to bother waiting and installed ICS rom myself :D

The only point i didn't understand is the duplication, if i delete the emmc would the other emmc file be deleted? Same thing goes for my sdcard(internal) which is duplicate folder itself /sdcard/ and mnt/sdcard both contain the files i put via PC I need to know if they working with some sort of auto-synchronization (or maybe one is a shortcut), so if i delete an app from my phone will it still store from the duplicate folder or delete it? What will happen to my storage if i put movies it would be double sized?! i would have storage issues then i wont be able to store properly.

**EDIT** just read your edited post, um but my emmc has like too many junk folders like "GOLauncher, Alienate, Quake3(400~mb),Gameloft(over 1GB), GPsSpeedmeterGPX" I just want to get rid of those junks inside my emmc as its not being used on my newly flashed ROM, i thought when i did "wipe data" i thought it would erase all the stuff and put everything into factory settigns, somehow it saved all the data and placed them into emmc lol!

is there an app or anything that clears everything left from previous ROM, like even the .apks and .pdf and .mp3 are still in my emmc folder. I might actually delete them but how would i tell the difference between a used System file and a regular non-used system file from the current ROM ? As rocky23 stated, that emmc contains important files, im still not sure if those important files such as "android,data" folders are being used from "emmc" folder. they are left overs from the previous ROM. Because in the internal memory "mnt/sdcard" it contains the same android,data, folders
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
omg, this just got even more confusing. I've installed the patches given in the hydogen ROM thread.

I can now confirm that "mnt/sdcard" is my INTERNAL and "/emmc/" is my external.

I've also used the MTP fix, however I can only now SEE my internal when i plug it to my PC before it was my externalSdCard.

Question: remember those Android, DATA folder i was talking about. left from the previous ROM, now thats been placed into my internal, and i can see all my pictures mp3's that was in the stock ROM. how do i know if the old ROM's Android and data folder is being used or not

Clearly i just want to factory Reset it. Should i do it again?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
Oke there is something wrong here. After installing fresh Hydrogen ROM i used "USB to MTP FIX" and "Patch for Switching Mount Points."

After installing them on CWM i just realized i had to TICK the MTP option on USB-settings through the mobile.

Now I can see BOTH internal and External though it takes time to read(process), anyway.

My problem is "Internal Storage" and "SD Card" BOTH have identical folders and files in them, when seen through the PC using MTP "pops out as Portable media Device"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
1) Factory reset will not reset the patches you flashed from CWM,

2) If you dont want to restore any applications which you were using from ealier ROM, and you are going to install all the application freshly then you can do the factory reset and delete Android and Data from you SD card. the same will be rebuilt when you do fresh install in your new ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
Ok, I'm going to re-install the mod from scratch, should i just delete external SDCard by plugging it into my PC through USB?

How can i wipe previous apps and everything else internally, using CWM i did Wipe data and wipe cache, i dont think that worked.

What else can i do to erase all previous data, i want to start everything from fresh.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
This time when i install it i want to install it on my internal not external
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
Wipe data factory reset + Format SD card , but makesure before doing format SD, you are able to mount USB and connect to PC to transfer your ROM installation zip to SD card, because by doing farmat all the stuff on the SD card will be wiped.

and freshly install your ROM zip

But dont forget to backup your required data like movies/picture/music to your PC first

---------- Post added at 01:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

I dont get what you mean,

there is no option to select the installation of a ROM...it will automatically install on your system partition. and apps on data partition.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLy`:
yeah there are none, dont worry about that. Look using CWM recovery i did

-Wipe data/Factory reset

-Wipe cache partition

- -> Advance/ Wipe Dalvik Cache

i DIDN'T do anything else, i was about to install the new rom, but then i said let me just reboot and see the factory files. Guess what i used USB mass storage and allll the files are still there.?! Whats going on.?

*EDIT*: When i installed the Hydrogen ROM it installed it into my SDcard i guess it made a partition or something. 16GB

*EDIT 2*: IN CWM should i go into "Mounts and stoage" --> Format emmc and sdcard?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
Factory reset and wiping caches will not clear the contents of your internal or external memory. They only clear the OS or OS related Caches.

If you want to wipe everything from your memory you'll have to fomart

System --> Storage --> Erase USB Storage or Erase SDCard Storage. This WILL Wipe EVERYTHING, including any backups of roms.

Before wiping anything make sure you can mount your internal and external storage via Recovery / CWM incase you need to transfer a rom or backup back to your phone

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I explained this before, Internal and SD Card will have identical folders in them.

If you install a apk on your phone memory, you'll need the same directories in your external memory if you decided to install those same apks on to your external memory. Same with photos, you can install them on phone memory, or you can have them stored on your external memory, again you'll need the same directories to house them which = same folders on both internal and external memory

---------- Post added at 11:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Simple solution regarding your emmc issue. Pull out your memory card, put it in your pc, (back up incase) and erase everything / format. Put it back in your phone. Job done.

If emmc is gone it resided on your external, if its still there its internal. Although in my experience emmc always referred to external storage on CM based roms, but i'm not familiar with hydrogen roms. A previous user posted, hydrogen use emmc as internal. As i'm not familiar with this layout i don't want to comment on it.

Done, everything is erased. I wiped out everything erased my external SDcard using Windows 7, and using android i did Erase USB storage, so my internal stuff are cleared.

I tried replacing Repencis' Dialer and Phone apk with Creeds' but it would'nt get installed. I hate the 2 round buttons when I get a call. The sliders from Creeds' are better, IMO. How do I replace them with Creed's? I've tried manually pushing them into /system/app and set the permissions right, and also tried ApkReplacer. Didn't work. Help! ^ ^

Those are only 2 apks I need to replace to get the dialer and the screen with the sliding buttons when I get a call right? So I push them to /system/app, boot into CWM and wipe Dalvik cache. Is that it?
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
theoritically yes. except if the apks from creed are signed with different framework.

I tried using dialer from one of Creed's themes. That didn't work either. So there's ABSOLUTELY no way I can change the call screen and dialer? Hate this! :/
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
I think he purposively made them exclusive for creed's rom. we can install them but we have to replace framework-res.apk with the one in creed's. we also have to change a lot of system's apk with the one in creed's. it will be almost like installing creed's rom in our device. too many apk have to be replaced.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Raol Emostar:
I'm just on Repencis mainly for Kill3D's theme and A2SD. Well, I guess thats a little something I gotta pay for being on Repencis. I'd somehow manage with the dialer but the call screen is just HORRIBLE. Can't you un-sign it? Jeez I'm being so desperate. xD
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] kurotsugi:
even if I do that, I can't upload the apk due to my slow internet connection. you may try to use apktool or apk manager to decompile the apk then recompile them using repencis's framework. I'm not really sure if this will works. recompile apk with different framework doesn't always work. especially when the apk have been modified a lot.
