I type whoami and responds sh: whoami: not found

But when I give su command, the Superuser app pops up asking to grant root permission, so I think I have root access...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] TippyTurtle:
Not sure then. You sound properly rooted. Mount doesnt work after typing su and giving it permission?

They have the same MD5 sum. This A107I0_A404_001_012_0116_US is bogus. Someone simply renamed the zip file for no reason. Did you really download it from Lenovo ICS_OTA?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
i have the same with mine, despite the difference in size and what I already wrote

I got mine from Lenovo's FTP
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kjliew:
In my case, they have the same size. They should if their MD5 sum are to match each other. I think you mistakenly compare 012_0091 and 011_0106. In reality, I think 012_0091 is actually 007_0091.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MadPriest:
012_0166 is the build number
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kjliew:
Can you share the file if it is indeed 012_0166 downloaded from Lenovo ICS_OTA that has adifferent size than 011_0116 that you were comparing? Many thanks!

SlimDroid v5.1 cat't read SDCARD

I installed SlimDroid v5.1 today , why it can't find my removeable_sdcard and internal_sdcard ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] dawkon13:
Enter into settings-storage and click "mount...."
[Miscellaneous Android Development] callcz:
Thank you for reply me , but in the setting->storage no option for "mount" .:confused:

My A1 is 2G edition . Is it cat't use sdcard like ICS offical ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] gregtsai:
not working!

There's no mount option to click!

And everybody on the lenovo chinese forum and Taiwanese forum has this problem.

I tried flash different 2GB mbrs(five of them) using update script and format inand storage, nothing works.

Also tried to use ICS SDCARD FIX and edit vold.fstab, doesn't work either.

And \proc\mounts file only shows there are only four mmc partitions mounted(mcblk0p1~p4, system, cache,data,secure)

however I do able to get external sdcard mounted using mount command in the terminal(mount -o rw,utf8 -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard), but cannot get internal sdcard mounted!

So where or what can I check to find what's the problem?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] callcz:
YSE ! I'm from China . Is the chinese 2GB edition defferent to another regions ?

That's terrible !!!

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

You can use this to mount sdcard . But use mount command can't make distinguish SDCARD from another partition in many software .

The internal_sdcard in /dev path is /dev/block/vold/179:5 or /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 .

[Miscellaneous Android Development] gregtsai:
I have a partial success on the 2GB version

i follow the instruction of this post:

http://bbs.lenovomobile.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=49720&extra=&page=1

I did the following steps

1.I use ics1.2(from this post) and replace the 2GB mbr and updater script files provided by the link.

2.Flash the replaced ics1.2 using stock ics recovery(I even don't need to revert back to 2643)

3.flash 0116 kernel only file downloaded from the link, it removes the system and data zip files and replaces the 2GB mbr file in step 1.

4. And my 2GB A1 can now sees the internal sd card, but you have to physically pop out and pop in the external sdcard for the system to see it, but some app still reports not having write permission to the external sdcard. and I tried adding <group gid="media_rw" /> from this post but doesn't seem to help.

I guess the only difference is that while updating from ics 1.2 to 0116, he replaces the 2GB mbr file in the 0116 package, so maybe you can try to do this with slim version. Although I don't get the logic since 0116 update aren't suppose to touch mbr files?

Btw I tried to replace the 2GB mbr file in the slimdroid 5.1 using winrar it says file corrupted? I downloaded it twice and still the same!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] callcz:
Thank you ! It see like difficut to try .

And I seen that post , it has some problem for fail to read-write sdcard when you had mounted sdcard and running of a while .

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kenshin79:
I would like to thank everyone for all these wonderful posts! ICS in A1 is very very good!

Sharing my experiences to the group..

I flashed ics1.2edited via stock recovery, sdcard is detected, but external sdcard is detected as part of usb disk and main problem is contacts cannot be synced.

Then flashed slimdroid v5.1 (via cwm) and it worked ok except for not detecting sdcard (internal and external).

Then I followed dawkon13 and callcz instructions (and another tip from another forum) on mounting sdcard via terminal application:

su

mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /mnt/sdcard

mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/removable_sdcard

After this, internal and external sdcards are detected by majority of apps including file explorers. But Settings crashes when 'storage' is accessed. Contact sync with google is now working. Some problems that remain: Aldiko detects files but cannot open them, native camera app cannot detect sdcard and will not work, Adobe PDF reader cannot detect sdcard, k9email cannot download files and some avi files have no sound when played.

Although third party camera app works and there are other reader apps and email app that function well. But all video apps i tried cannot play some avi with sound, and sound is not that good.

That is all thanks again!

If there are updates will be very very appreciative!

By the way, is there a way to make a "batch or sh file" to run and automatically mount the internal and external sdcard on bootup? Because it does take a lot of effort to mount the sdcard manually http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I made a fix for ideapad a1 2GB today !

It can do :

1.Successfully mount removable and internal sdcard by auto ;

2.To swap mount point of removable sdcard & internal sdcard (removabile sdcard : /mnt/sdcard , internal sdcard : /mnt/sdcard/remoable_sdcard) ;

How to Intall :

1.Sdcard in the establishment of a folder named "removabile_sdcard" ;

2.Install the zip file form recovery ;

3.If you can see sdcard is successful in "setting->storage" !

I tried it on my slimdroid5.1 flashed a1, it worked, and the camera and other apps started working fine.

But it seems that the internal sd card has been mounted on the /mnt/sdcard/removable_sdcard and the removable sdcard has been mounted on the /mnt/sdcard ! not the other way around. And in the settings->storage, it also shows that the removable SD has only around 239 MB.

How do i fix this?

Thank you very much!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] callcz:

Edit /system/etc/vold.fstab

Swap the mont ports of these two statements .

Like this : "sdcard /mnt/sdcard" change to "removable_sdcard /mnt/sdcard/removable_sdcard" and "removable_sdcard /mnt/sdcard/removable_sdcard" change to "sdcard /mnt/sdcard" .

My tablet is now working very well with slimdroid5.1 and sd cards mounted thanks to all your suggestions guys.

However I did notice that after the sdcard was automatically mounted from boot succesfully, my tablet started to slow down performance wise. It seems that the apps were now able to start automatically by themselves causing the memory usage and slow down. I now use ES task manager to kill background apps that i dont need automatically and now speed is back to pre-"sd mount" status. However i am not yet sure on batt life effects...

Am i doing it right? is there a better way to handle slow down issue? because i read in other forums that task killers are no good. is this true for ics and android in general?

many thanks in advance

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28402717&postcount=150

(Warning: this process will format your SD card. It is advisable to use another SD card!)

When done writing to SD card, get ICS stock recovery from here:

http://a1.cu2.at/A1_ICS_Stock_Recovery.zip

then rename it to update.zip, then put it in your sd card that you just created from above instruction.

Reboot into recovery, apply update from sd card.

After doing this, you now have a ICS stock recovery installed in your A1.

You can the proceed installing the ROM by renaming it to update.zip and installing it using the stock recovery

re: sdcard..

There should be a "removable_sdcard" folder inside the /mnt/sdcard or /sdcard folder.

If there is none, create one and re-boot. I needed to re-create the folder after I used the sdcardupdate by callcz, even after every re-restore a supposedly "fixed" backup.

But I might stay in this ROM for now. I used the sdcard patch in this ROM and it seems to be working also.

I believe you download SlimDroid v5.1 together with a zip file for rooting, right? I used that as well with the other ROMs. I think it will also work with my current ROM.
