Hello guys,

I have seen many people that are dealing with problems when it comes to change the vold.fstab on their LG phone to swap memories.

I am trying to edit mine on my LG Optimus M+, to swap the internal sd with the external one. Here is the code of the Vold.fstab file:

#dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host

# LGE_CHANGE

# If sdcard isn't exist, mount emmc partition

#dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host

dev_mount extsdcard /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host

I tried changing the number 1 for a 3 on msm_sdcc1 and the 3 for a 1 in msm_sdcc3. This resulted in a damaged internal sd card message on the phone. I'd be glad if you guys could give me a hand. I'm sure many others will find the information useful too.

Thank you in advance.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AJilka89:
Long story short, tried the Google Wallet fix with changing the build.prop, and unfortunately it didn't work so I decided to just delete the change one and rename my backup to build.prop, and then I totally spaced and forgot to take the .bak off the original.

Is it possible to to rename the file through fastboot? If there is, can someone tell me the command? I can reflash the RUU if I have to, but I'd rather keep everything on my phone still.

Thanks

Yea tried adb, but computer wouldn't recognize it.

Luckily the RUU ran perfectly though so at least I got my phone working again :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
The latest TWRP has adb support in recovery, just use that.

If you don't have that, flash the RUU.

Hello everyone. I bricked my US Galaxy Player 4.0 after trying to install a certain ROM for it.

i visited this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1531850

for the stock rom and tried to flash the PIT file along with a ROM's PDA file. All i keep getting when i try to reboot it is the Samsung logo followed by the image i'm going to attach to this.

I can get into download mode and everything, i think it's just a matter of having the right files to flash, etc. Can anyone help me out?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
follow the proper instructions in that link with the proper files for the US version, when using those files to recover you use Heimdall not ODIN, also make you have a good backup of your EFS.tar or you'll be like me after screwing around with the CM7 beta's and not have a lockscreen or powermenu.

Simple flashing the PIT and the "stock" .tar via Odin will NOT work, I assume your trying to use Odin because you say "with a ROM's PDA file" and there is no PDA box if you are doing what that link says to do for the US version.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] androidlover54:
That's exactly how I bricked my Galaxy Player 4. Except that I can't enter recovery or download mode. I have to enter download mode with Adam's Resurrector. I used Heimdall with those files and I keep getting error: failed to receive response. So I have no way to revive my player.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Arlicc:
yea, he should do it at first after flashing right kernel and rom, factory reset, format cache, clean dalvik and fix permissions, if not through CWM, just manualy (adb console)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] skapebolt:
Mine is hard bricked, but I can still get into download mode with the resurrector. But when I try to flash the correct rom and kernel, I get the following error in Heimdall: "kernel upload failed", anyone how to fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JB calhoun:
Thats just soft bricking ur fine go back to stock start over find the stock tar files

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mackrox:
Few weeks ago my phone just died. I mean, it just shut off completely. It booted up and all my apps were crashing - swype, terminal, chrome, skype, everything. I reinstalled them, and no issues since.

So today My phone kept disconnecting from 4g and not able to keep a signal. So I figured it was time to wipe cache and wipe dalvik. I rebooted into recovery, wiped both.. everything OK.

I turn it back on, I see "Google" then the screen goes black and that's it. Nothing happens. No notifications, I left it like this for a good 20 minutes thinking it would appear. Nothing. Dead.

Any ideas on what's going on with this thing? I can't not even tell you how sick of this phone I am getting. It's great when it's working or when the battery isn't dead.

My rom is TeamBamf (latest)

Any ideas?

Or unroot. And reroot. It usually fix all the problems.

I can boot into fastboot mode, I can access it through ADB but nothing works. I guess my only choice now is to do a backup in CWM and then restore stock. The USB port is in bad shape. I was holding off on taking it to Verizon for a replacement because I want to get the replacement, sell it, and get the S3.

What would of caused it to shut off like it did and make all my apps randomly crash?

When you usually open an app that needs root the first time it asks from root permissions other then that I think you can go into super user nd edit the apps for permissions idk I'm correct

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Hi Friends,

I did a lot of searching and tried a bunch of things, but I am not very successful. Can you experts please tell me if my EVO is dead/gone for good?

Symtoms:

My Evo was charging (it was rooted and S-Off), I took the charger cable off, and the phone rebooted.

It went to the White HTC Evo screen that comes before any ROM boots, and basically looped their infinitely.

Since then, the symptoms have switched back and forth from Bootloops on the white screen OR STUCK on the white screen, infinitely.

Currently, I am getting white screen boot loops

Things I have tried:

1. Cleared Storage (via Bootloader/Fastboot)

2. Chose "Recovery" from Bootloader/Fastboot (nothing happens, reboots and stuck on the white screen or loops)

3. Reverted back to S-ON

4. Flashed other Recovery zips

5. Upgraded the Fastboot version

6. Flashed the RUU

Current Situation:

Nothing changed guys... and after the RUU flash (out of which the Radio flash was the only component that FAILED) my PC31IMG.zip files are no longer being promoted for updates in my Fastboot/Bootloader menu.

While the reboots continue on the white screen...

Can't access Recovery

Can't run PC36IMG.zips anymore

Am I done here guys, or is there still anything I can do to save my EVO?

Appreciate ALL your help!

Hey theneguy,

Thanks for your response... My phone was rooted, but is now S-On and Unrooted, I believe (I can't tell because I am not able to get in the OS).

I can't get into Recovery and my PC31IMG is not being read now...

Any ideas, friends?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Latest Update guys:

I tried flashing the RUU via HBoot/Flashboot, and the update failed, but the progress bar at the screen was full/successful. The on-screen wizard tried to take me to the "Recovery" steps, nothing was fixed.

The computer wizard was stuck at: Sending Signature....

And the phone had the full progress bar from the previous flash.

So I yanked the battery out, cause I had no options left.

Well, needless to say, now, NOTHING turns on. The phone doesn't charge, and blah, blah, blah.

So guys, can someone give me a verdict... is my EVO done for good?

Thanks for your help.

But I don't think it matters anymore... I think with the battery pulled out after a failed RUU.exe installation has truly bricked my phone for good.

Users must be rooted with superuser access and a kernel which supports looping, such as DaGs.

It is recommended to have a full qwerty keyboard like the one found here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...9yZy5wb2NrZXR3b3Jrc3RhdGlvbi5wY2tleWJvYXJkIl0.

The following is a modification of the ubuntu installer guide:

STEP 1: Download Ubuntu Installer Free from the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS56cHdlYnNpdGVzLnVidW50dWluc3RhbGwiXQ..

STEP 2: Download any terminal like this one:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImphY2twYWwuYW5kcm9pZHRlcm0iXQ..

STEP 3: Download android-vnc-viewer:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImFuZHJvaWQuYW5kcm9pZFZOQyJd

STEP 4: Follow the directions in the ubuntu installer app for downloading the boot script and the ubuntu image of your choice.

Extract the ubuntu image and place it on your sdcard DO NOT PLACE IT IN THE SUBDIRECTORY UBUNTU AS THE INSTALLER TELLS YOU TO

Do the same thing as above for the ubuntu script.

STEP 5: Using any root explorer/browser, create the folder "files" in /data/data/com.zpwebsites.ubuntuinstall

STEP 6: Download busybox from the play store and install it to /system/xbin

Note: This step may be skipped if busybox is already installed via the play store, do not use the busybox included in the custom roms.

STEP 7: Copy, do not cut, the busybox image from /system/xbin to /data/data/com.zpwebsites.ubuntuinstall/files/

STEP 8: In the terminal emulator type the following commands:

su

cd /data/media/

sh ubuntu.sh

Note: this can also be accomplished by browsing as root in script manager and running the ubuntu.sh script as superuser but not recommended due to not being able to kill the ubuntu process.

STEP 9: For the screen resolution make it 1280x745 or x750, not sure which is perfect.

STEP 10: Open android-vnc-viewer, under password input "ubuntu", under address input "localhost", under port input "5900" then hit connect.

STEP 11: Using the menu button, go to more and select colors, change it to "24bit".

STEP 12: Using the menu button again change the input method to "touchpad".

If you want to exit ubuntu simply use your home button. If you want to kill the process, type "exit" in the terminal emulator.

Note: Once killing the process, ubuntu doesn't shut down properly as the script needs to be edited still for this device, so you will have to reboot your device to get back into ubuntu which is simply by doing step 8 and 10 again.

The debian and backtrack installer should work as well using this same process, they can be found here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tes.debianinstallerfree&feature=search_result

and here:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...es.backtrackinstallfree&feature=search_result

All credit goes to zpwebsites for the installer, though the modified method to actually get it to work on our devices was by me.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] VECTUS:
If you are new to Android, you probably have seen the term Nandroid used. If you are rooting your phone for the first time, or even an old crusty flashaholic, a Nandroid backup could be the difference between saving your phone or have having a $500 paper weight.

What IS a Nandroid? It is a full backup of the partitions on your device’s NAND flash (NAND actually stands for NOT AND,which in simple terms means an electronic gate). Basically a backup of your phones hard drive if you will... The Nandroid backup is a snapshot of your device (it means everything on your phone – your apps, data, your current ROM and even the kernel is backed up) at the time you do the back up. If you restore the back up, it changes your phone BACK to that state. You will need clockworkmod (CWM). So make sure prior to this you have CWM on your device.

Your SD Card data is not backed up in the process. Although the Nandroid backup itself is created on your SD card. Make sure you have enough space on your SD card to make a COMPLETE copy of your phone. It is highly recommended that once you have done a backup, you manually copy it to your computer in case your sd card is wiped or corrupted..

Pre-requisites:

1. Rooted Device:

You need a rooted android device.

2. Custom Recovery

While the OS is running you cannot do a backup. The boot loader in the recovery enables you to take a backup of the OS while it’s not running.

ClockworkMod (CWM) recovery is the example used in this tutorial.

Steps to Make a Nandroid Backup via CWM:

Backup and Restore via CWM:

1.Boot into Recovery.

2. Select ‘Backup and Restore’ from the recovery screen.

Once you are in recovery, scroll down to the option ‘Backup and Recovery’ and select it. You can scroll up/down through the menu using the volume buttons and select options using the power button.

3. Start the backup.

Once you are on the Nandroid screen, select ‘Backup’ to start the backup process. You have the option to restore backup on the same screen.

The backup process may take a while. Be PATIENT.

4. Transfer the backup to your computer (optional but recommended).

Once you reboot, you can see the backup in the ‘clockworkmod/backup/timestamp’ (or similar file) directory on your SD card.

Move, copy, or paste this folder on your PC safely.

It’s THAT simple…

Restore from a Nandroid Backup via CWM:

1. Boot your device into CWM and navigate to the Nandroid screen.

2. Choose ‘Restore’ and begin the process.

If you select ‘Advanced Restore’option, you may select which part of the backup to restore – i. e. the boot,system, data or cache. Or choose the whole backup.

3. Reboot your device. Your system is now restored and is exactly the same as the time when the backup was taken.

Final Thoughts:

If you are planning on rooting your phone or even a hard core flashaholic it is essential you use this painless and easy tool to save you when you need it. As noted above you can even revert back to just the kernel, data or whatever that could become corrupt or just plain messed up in the future. I hope this helps you and happy flashing!! - VeNuM
