[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
So, as I mentioned, after modifying vold.fstab I'm having a problem with usb mass storage. After mounting the sd card and internal memory to the pc, copying files directly from one drive to the other causes the phone to unmount both drives and drop the usb connection for a brief moment. I didn't have any problem doing this prior to the mod.

Other than that, it stays mounted fine. As long as I copy files to or from the PC before moving them between the internal memory and SD card, everything works as expected, and I've copied large amounts of data to and from both to test.

Anyone else running this having similar problems? I'm on the rooted stock 2.3.5, with Aradat's kernel v1.2. I did snag a log of what's going on, if anyone wants to poke through it and see if they spot something that looks out of place.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
So, with the ICS update our vold.fstab changed. Here's both the original, and a modified one with this swap, for anyone who wants it. It works pretty much as expected.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] psierak:
I just use link2sd to store stuff onto sd card. The stock storage is a problem for me!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
I did swap the external for the main and I must tell you, it is sweet to not have to worry about space anymore.

I have a 32GB card that I would never remove so this was just what I was looking for thanks guys!..

The only thing I had issues was Titanium backup started to complain because I did not change where it was pointing to before I made the switch, so I had to clear it's data in settings then it started fine.

PS before I did this change I made sure to format the SDCARD (4gb internal) and this made a nice clean Partition for CWM!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Will this work on the New ICS Rom?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
Yes. :P The internal memory doesn't get mounted on boot for some reason, but you can just go to settings > storage and mount it, and everything works as expected, so I'm too lazy to poke around and see what the issue is.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Tornadojoe:
Thanks for this update. I hadn't even thought to look into making my phone utilize the 32GB micro sd card I had in it as main memory and stumbled on this thread looking for something else. Currently I am moving what I want to keep from the internal 4GB before I format it and maybe use it for my Titanium Backup storage, who knows. Thanks button for everybody!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
Yeah, it's very handy. CWMR still uses the internal memory by default, so I just use it for storing roms and nandroid backups, with everything I actually use on my 32gb.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
does you need to format you sdcard (32gb one) as ext3 or 4?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
My 32gb was formatted in a microsd card reader on my pc, as fat32, and has no issues. I can't speak for the 64gb.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
good to know, thanks
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Tanks bakageta. :)

[edit]

Nevermind. No automounting on internal storage is a known issue.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
I cleaned up the vold.fstab a little bit and solved the non-automounting issue. I also marked the external SD card as encryptable and non-removable since it's now a fairly primary storage area.

Now both SD areas are mounted properly on bootup.

Updated .zip attached. :good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] taiber2000:
oh that sound good, i think i will use it as well.

as i have some applications and data installed on the internal memory should i

just copy everything i have with sd explorer (or even just tar the all thing to root

of the microsd card and then extract it for better permissions) and then chage the

vold.fstab file, than format the internal memory?

BTW lambgx02, does your update files is for ICS only or also for the GB?

if i'm not mistaken the original GB version didn't' include the encryption and non-removable option.

maybe you can tweak it as well?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
Easiest way is to plug in to a PC via USB and drag and drop everything you want from one volume to the other. Remember that your apps might get confused if they were configured to use external_sd (since everything will now be moved to sdcard).

A benefit of using USB is that the volumes will be unmounted from the device, so you don't have to worry about apps reading/writing while you're working.

As soon as you're done, eject the volumes (but don't pull the USB cable), update the vold.fstab file and reboot. This will ensure no sdcard-aware app will be restarted before your mounts have been swapped.

Regarding my vold.fstab, I've only tried on the ICS build, not Gingerbread so ... not sure if it'll work or not. Why not just use the original version posted by the OP for Gingerbread?

Hi everyone

in the middle east and some other countries the google play not available So, there are many ways to open it and i used this way

first u need

1-hot spot shield (or any proxy software that provide VPN connection)

2-connectify (for windows 7) "it is make your laptop as router"

3-market unlocker.apk

first we run hss "hot spot sheld or any vpn software" , then we run connectify and ensure that u select the tap "vpn" to broadcast as router.

now connect ur phone to the wirless network "ur labtop in this case"

and run market unlocker and choose usa or any other

now: the most important thing is that google can detect your position from your mobile network so put your phone in airplane mode

>>>>>>>>>>> now the market is open and start download :D <<<<<<<<<<<<
[HD Mini General] ayit83:
use Orbot

thanks

you can also use Orbot from TOR project directly on the phone instead of using the PC as a router

Is it good to be switching roms frequently? Can it mess up your phone?
[HTC Amaze 4G] dirtyglacier:
As long as u do it correctly each time u should b fine....but obviously it'll b hot if u flash too much....
[HTC Amaze 4G] johnride:
You can flash as many ROMs as you wish with no worry, it won't cause any hardware problem more than using it a lot during the period you would flash (I mean that gaming 10 minutes is as bad as flashing a ROM for the device) so there is no problem. You will just be wiping quite often to keep it running smoothly.

Actually flashing a rom only formats different partitions which the memory is made for as it is made for read/write files. There is even almost no CPU usage I think since roms are simply zips extracted to the right partitions.

Happy flashing :)

[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Actually memory tends to wear with constant formatting and writing, but once he doesn't flash it every five minutes for the next couple months, it's gonna be fine.

[HTC Amaze 4G] johnride:
Okay then It's different of regular HDD we find usually in computers. True that we don't call it ROM with no reason but I remember I read an article stating that the actual drives used for ROMs are supporting thousands of writes... But with a little calculation once per five minutes for a few months makes kind of 60 000. :D

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ootz0rz:
I can't seem to find too much information on how to go about doing it. I realize the general idea is that it's usually similar to the AT&T variety, and it seems that some people may have done it already, but I'd like some more information before I do it myself.

i.e. what method to use, anything to look out for, does it flash on at&t labels/logos/branding like it did for the galaxy s captivate, etc...

Ideally, I'd like to flash a custom rom at some point, but for now I'd be happy to just have root so I could mess with certain apps I'd like to try, and get rid of the bloat ware.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
You need to use the method that uses CWM and then install root from there. Make sure the root .zip file is on your sdcard, and then flash CWM with Odin without reboot selected. Once it's flashed, turn off your phone (best bet is a battery pull) and then turn it back on holding power, home and up until it boots into CWM. Once in CWM, flash the zip for root and you're golden.

This does add one to the flash counter, but it's the only way to do it with Rogers/Bell/Telus phones ATM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] csingh:
So if the flash counter goes up, does that mean the warranty is void?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
They could deny a warranty claim, yes. I'm not saying that they will, but it's possible.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sword Fish:
I rooted mine and yes the counter did increment. There is a method on XDA that shows you how to stop the counter from incrementing but I didn't see it until I rooted. Check out the AT&T S3 section, I think that is where I saw it.

Edit: Here it is... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
That method is no good to us until Rogers/Samsung release an official firmware that can then be modified by the devs to work for us on that method. Using that method as it is will result in having an att firmware which wouldn't show well when at Rogers asking for warranty service :).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ootz0rz:
So, would it be better to wait for some Rogers-specific dev first then?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdogg4000:
This method states that it doesnt effect anything to do with the firmware just roots the device. I am not sure about flash counter though. If you read the comments a rogers person has done it.

http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-root/how-to-root-sprint-galaxy-s3-sph-l710/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
Yup, that trips the flash counter.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] David Dee:
You can do it as long as you are ok with att branded firmware and no option to toggle lte. This will change very soon as Rogers firmware was released this morning and the devs are already working to incorporate this into this method so we can do it and end up with Rogers firmware that a store will honor the warranty on.

Edit: I looked at your link, you are referring to a different method involving installation of a custom recovery. This method will work on Rogers but will trip the flash counter. I was referring to the root only method mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ootz0rz:
Awesome! :) Is this the thread you are talking about?

Yes, and Mr Robinson's thread has been updated for Rogers firmware. I am already rooted with no change in trip counter, worked perfectly! Link to Mr. Robinson's thread is here

[HTC Titan] sulphuricaciduk:
So my Titan finally told me an update is available, I hook it up to Zune and it lets me start the update - hurrah! It reboots my phone after about 40 seconds after starting, then reboots not much longer after that and it tells me it's failed.

I ran the update again, this time watching it; it spends all of 20-30 seconds "downloading" the update, which seemed awfully quick for my connection. It fails again.

I've cleaned out C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled Zune and rebooted again. SoftwareDistribution starts with about 12MB in (windows regenerates some). Start the update again, a few new folders are created with some new files. Eventually it fails again. The 5 new files are all 17KB!

Does anyone know why it might be failing to download the update properly?

Cheers.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SolemnWishing:
Hey everyone,

I need some help doing a blind revert to stock. What I mean by this is that I need to revert my MT4Gs back to the stock ROM, however it has a broken display and touch screen. Both managed to fail without any reason this past week. The touch screen failed first, and after numerous reboots and wipes, etc it still would not work. The LCD went out today.

I know how to revert back to stock as I have done so numerous times on other phones but it's a bit of a challenge doing so without being able to see what is on the screen. I will be using these instructions:

1 - Power off the doubleshot. Remove the battery and MicroSD card.

2 - Insert new card from above. ( or back up current card, make, and re-insert )

3 - Replace battery and backplate.

4 - Holding the 'Volume Down' button, press the 'Power' button.

5 - Wait for the loading bar to fill.

6 - When ready, it will ask you if you want to start the update.

7 - Select yes by pressing the 'Volume Up' button. Press 'Volume Down' if you just realized you have a low battery.

8 - Allow the update time to flash to your doubleshot.

9 - Let it sit for a minute or two after it says finished, then press power to reboot.

10 - Follow on-screen instructions until finished.

The steps I have put in bold are ones I am uncertain of. Step 5, how long does it take for the loading bar to load? (as I can't see it). Should I give it about 10 minutes?

Step 8, how long would it take to update? Should I just give it about an hour?

And finally, the one I'm really uncertain of, step 10. What on screen instructions would come up during this time..?

I'm fine playing it safe (giving ample time for loading/flashing), however I won't be able to see any on screen instructions that come up. Does any one know what will come up?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Charge the battery to full first. After that, i'd give it 15 minutes, that should be enough time for the loading bar to fill.

Your estimate of an hour for the install is a good one, for me sometimes it hiccups trying to install the system partition, amd has to try a handful of times before it takes. Giving it an hour is enough time to account for that, and if you start the process with a full battery you'll be good.

The part where I said to follow the on-screen instructions, those are just the initial setup steps you take when it first comes out of the box from the factory, so in your case are not necessary.

After it finishes the restore, you just have to press power to reboot. I think it's power, can't remember, maybe someone else can fill in that blank for you?

Nvidia is notorious for not releasing source codes for community development. My phone has Tegra 2 but we may never see a fully functional CM9 on it because Nvidia is witholding the device driver sources.

Otterbox Top Quality

I've owned three Commuter cases (for Samsung Captivate, Infuse, and Note) and you can't beat them for the protection.

The only issues I have had are how the clips are attached to the plate. Twice I've had them break on me, BUT, Otterbox has been very prompt at sending me a FREE replacement. I also have to say that each time I was leaning in such a way that I was putting pressure on the belt clip, so I can't entirely fault the clip. Since they replaced it (promptly), I have no negative feelings.

Although they are a bit pricey, you can definitely see why they do cost more. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They give your phone top-notch protection. :good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hungyhungyhippo:
I bought the case today and compared to the case mate tough this provides much more protection however it does the phone slippery due to the hardcover having minimal grip. The biggest gripe I have with this case is the power and volume rockers are really difficult to press and I have contacted otterbox about it and just awaiting reply now.
