I got an exfat formatted 64gb microsd. Would it work on touchwiz-based ROMs? Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
Looks like you never got your answer. I'm wondering the same, anyone knows if a 64G exfat SD will work on the new 4.3 ROM?

^^^

I've had a 64 GB SD card in my Note 2 since Feb. Nooooo problems.

Did he try to sell you something else? Maybe from a manufacturer that gives a spiff if they sell their line?

Not only that, but in the total scope of things, there aren't that many smart phones with the power and technology

of the Note 2. I might be wrong, but I think that has something to do with it..

I was told the same thing, BTW.

Have had no problems with my Sandisk 64gb that I got to date.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjtaryan:
Well, it doesn't work in my note 2. I have a sandisk ultra class 10 64gb sdxc microsd. It didn't work out of the package nor when I formatted it to Fat32 nor when I tried using a different partition type or protocol. The phone formats the card as a Win95 partition fornatted as exFat. But I've tried everything I can think of and in every case the card formats and is recognized but is unwriteable (cannot create folders or files). Any ideas on how to solve this? I have the same problem on my Tab 2 7.0.

Micro sd blues

Just got 64g sdxc class 10. Tried formatting to fat 32, works great then clears all image files on reboot. Reformatted in Philz touch as default....so far so good, but my XP is only sp2 and will not hook up to phone directly.

OK rebooted this morning lost all image files and no writing to sd card???...back to my 32g

I have completely lost connection with my computer. It does not detect the phone at all during standard usb to phone connection nor does odin recognize a phone being hooked up. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for your help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
Try deleting the Samsung drivers on your computer and let Windows find them for you or switch usb ports or check out your Device manager and see if there are any problems in there... Assuming that you are running windows? Hope this helps...:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ikr:
Options

1.try another computer

2. Dont use a usb hub

3.try a different usb port... stay a way from usb 3.0

4. It might be a bad usb cable

5. Uninstall the driver then reinstall them(install if youb dont have it)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
Thanks for the advice guys. I tried a different cable, USB and deleting the drivers. It doesn't detect my phone at all after this.

I'm pretty sure it is an issue with my phone. I plugged my wife's s3 in and instant detection. I'm gonna call vzw and have a replacement sent.

Thanks again for the help.

Be sure debugging is off, or the drivers will not automatically download. Switch back on when you start using Odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jinwu57:
I was running blu kuban rom and recently switched to cm10 jb hybrd. I absolutely love this rom but just having an issue with the gps. From what I read, I need to Odin back to el26/el29 modem? Can I just flash a rom with el26 and then once gps locks, just restore back up of my jb rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
I haven't tried El29 with a JB rom, but when I was on CM9 I used it to get a GPS lock successfully. I think it would apply all the same on JB as long as the recovery is safe. I only mention El29 because I think El26 is just a stock recovery (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Just flash back to the rom of your choice when you reboot your phone after flashing El29 and it should work fine. Of course nandroid before attempting anything though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jinwu57:
I'm somewhat confused. El26/29 is a modem and therefore I have to use Odin right? Or are you saying I can just flash from my cm10 jb rom to any rom that has el26/29 and then once I get a gps lock, just flash my back up(cm10 jb)?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MicrosoftBug:
EL26 & 29 are also kernels. Most people flash using a GB recovery/kernel because it is safe. But you can use any of the current ICS kernels and be fine. I used a stock ROM and got a lock using GPS Test from the market. I then flashed paranoid android.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
As Microsoftbug posted, EL26/29 is both a modem & kernel. You have the option of also using mobile odin (much better for on the go & no yellow triangle) with flashing the kernel of your choice.

Qbking77's video on using mobile odin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNAH1TQaKdc&feature=plcp

El29 direct boot: http://e4gtcm.blogspot.com/p/tools.html (boots you to a temporary stock rom to update prl/profile/gps)

**note** I first did the temp boot via regular ODIN originally when flashing to CM9a6, so I'm not sure if you need the multiboot folder or not on your system to flash the direct boot with mODIN (would love clarification from someone who's flashed it with mODIN directly).

Hope that somewhat helps and if I posted any incorrect info, corrections would be welcomed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jinwu57:
Once I flash el29 in odin, how do I get out of cwm to look for a gps? Just reboot?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] third son:
reboot into stock and find your GPS...then flash whatever ROM you want...I have had great success with EL26 but that is not the case for everyone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
Make sure when you get a GPS lock with a GB based rom you leave your GPS on while shutting down and then restore or reflash cm10. It works like a charm and in the future before switching roms just do that little trick.

FYI - this is a pretty known issue with quite a few threads on solutions. Can I suggest maybe in the future just doing a little more searching. There may be other solutions out there for you that dont result in reflashing roms
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jinwu57:
I did the search and was just confused about the process after flashing to El29. I rebooted, but it only rebooted to CWM. I thought Im supposed to reboot into some of stock rom? I did search, but I think Im just missing a minor step.

This morning, I did the EL29 ODIN and then flashed JB CM10(Alpha 5) rom and GPS did lock. I dont know if that's going to be a permanment thing, but it seems legit now. *fingers crossed tho

i bought a used i777 that was advertised to be unlocked, but when i put in my t-mobile (straight talk) sim card to test out, phone was not unlocked so couldn't really test it out. it looked new so i bought it, then called at&t for an unlock code. after i entered code and called someone, i couldn't hear them and they couldn't hear me. phone was running 2.3.6 and after doing alot of research online, i first checked the flash counter (which was zero) then followed 'creepyncrawly' (cnc) thread 'how to prepare phone for return' and flashed the UCKH7-CL503881 stock kernel and system package using odin, then followed 'jack man' thread to upgrade to ics (4.0.3) but still have audio problems.

ok, so why i am i posting this? couple reasons actually. first, if i could ever get the I777_UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL.7z file to download before timing out (then having to wait another 30 mins before trying again!) then i would've followed cnc's thread 'How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash Counter!!' i'm also thinking of trying entropy512's 'UCKH7/KK6 Return/Unbrick to Stock (or Root)'. also thinking about using the 'AOKP ICS ROM v7.1', but am thinking i am just missing a file or have a bad rom or something simple that is causing my audio problems because i found this in the q&a section for i777 under thread titled 'no audio on phone':

Here is the stock i777 modem (phone) TAR file.

Your audio shall magically return after you flash this:

{ link, but i can't post here because i'm a nooby } <---------- BUT THIS LINK HAS BEEN SEIZED BY THE FEDS!

You will need to flash this in Odin.

Be sure to put this in the PDA slot in Odin.

and although i'm using terms like 'root', 'kernel', rom, etc., i really don't know what the benefits are of rooting, changing rom, etc.

also, the threads referenced above are dated oct 2011 -- almost a year ago and wonder if i should use something more recent.

finally, i'm sure this is gonna sound real stupid, but can someone please tell me where the 'sticky' section is? i see alot of people here say 'i'm sure there's a sticky for this' in the dev section or general section, etc. but am not sure where these stickies can be found.

and yes, i watched the nooby video and know i'm supposed to be brief but wanted to be thorough in describing what i've done and where i'm hungup now before moving forward.

thanks in advance for any insight/assistance with this frustrating condition of my first i777!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cmoore0965:
Off market purchase can lead to an intimidating amount of Grey area in trouble shooting. I've read of changes in hardware, and boot loaders in a single device over time in production, and off the top of my head, I question the method the seller used to prep the phone for sale. Could have used triangle away for the counter, simply flashed stock rom, and removed root. May have been an incompatible rom. If he said it was unlocked and it wasn't, he either didn't know what he was taking about, or obviously changed something afterwards. You're basically trying to figure out what someone else did wrong, and that's a *****. Were it myself, I'd go with entropy's most recent stock you can find, and if not that, hunt down the potential changes to the production of the phone, and sequentially try stock flashes coinciding with the possible time frames. I expect there's going to be a lot of more helpful advice for you in the future, but I hope these basics might help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
The "stickies" are the threads at the top of each section that have a thumbtack icon to the left of the thread title. There are usually 4 to 5 (or more) stickies per section for our phone, and are usually the most important things to remember regarding issues, flashing, etc. They are "stuck" to the top area of each section so people can see/find them easily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Before doing anything more to your phone u need to spend time reading and understanding what u read. And searching terms you aren't familiar with. I find myself saying this more and more, and it seems redundant. But it's also just common sense. Good luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I agree with Phalanx here - do some in depth reading of the stickies you were pointed to, as that will be your best source of information.

If you are ONLY having audio issues (as in, the phone works fine other than you are not able to hear callers, they are not able to hear you), my first guess as to your issue is that the previous owner flashed a custom kernel with the wrong mic. setup. As you read through the stickies, you will learn about mic-swap vs. non-mic-swap kernels, and when it is appropriate to use each.

It would likely be helpful if you could post the information contained here: menu>system settings>about phone.

Good luck.

thanks cmoore. i thought when i flashed to UCKH7-CL503881 stock kernel (return to stock by creepyncrawly) that everything would be returned to original build, but maybe 'everything' isn't. i should have tested out phone before moving on to flash to ics (4.0.3) via kies. guess my thinking was that the le5 build would have addressed 'issues' found over time by those using kh7. i will flash the kh7 again, then test out before moving on from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] steffes:
thanks jack man. turns out i was reading the stickies in both 'general' and 'q/a' sections. guess i just wanted to make sure i wasn't overlooking some other area. seems like alot of threads display what looks like a square yellow sticky -- the thumbtack icon comment clears up my confusion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] steffes:
thanks phalanx. i'm trying to correct these audio probs as soon as possible cuz i bought this phone for a handicapped friend who lives on a tight budget and was paying 35/month for std cricket talk/text service. he doesn't have a tv or computer and can't afford tv or internet service anyways. i convinced him to get an i777 smartphone so he could get news, sports, etc. by moving over to 45/month unlimited service with straight talk (i've been using with my t679 t-mobile with ST service and hope to move up to i777 myself soon) but didn't anticipate someone would screw me over with a problematic phone for $200. not trying to waste anyone's time with this thread or clog up an outstanding website (xda), just trying to rectify phone problems to return it to him fixed soon. i agree i have much to learn (i get confused by different terms that have same meaning) and will hold off on rooting and changing rom for now, just wanted to make sure i didn't need to do certain things first to restore some file that i suspect is missing or corrupt and might be needed in addition to files contained in original kh7 build.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] steffes:
thanks dandrumheller. all problems are audio related, everything else seems fine. speaker does not work for mp3 files, but headphone jack works. during a call, sometimes putting speakerphone on then off works, and when it does an indicator appears that i can't find in user manual. then (while call is still active) i can hear music from mp3 files w/o headphones, but the audio comes through the phone earpiece. then if i turn speakerphone back on (still during active call) the music comes through regular speaker on bottom/back of phone. once the call terminates however, so does the music (stops coming through speaker) but music can still be heard through headphones. very strange stuff!

current settings (but will be going back to kh7 build shortly) baseband: I777UCLE5, kernel version: 3.0.15-I777UCLE5-CL652575 se.infra@SEP-74 #3, build number: IML74K.CLE5

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] steffes:
i was thinking the 'mic swap' kernel is the key to audio probs (thanks to dandrumheller's comment) but while researching i stumbled on this comment from 'dayv':

"And if you are using a firmware based on an i777 firmware you don't need the mic swap."

and i'm wondering about when I followed creepyncrawly's thread: "Prepare Your Phone to Return ..." and flashed the UCKH7-CL503881 stock kernel and system package using Odin3 One-Click Downloader, shouldn't that already had the necessary kernel (or some other file) already in the stock KH7 build in order to restore phone back to where audio features work normally?

Or, if i do need some additional 'mic swap' kernel, would i need root status to add it? reason i ask is i am about to flash my phone back to the KH7 build and will use the root version this time if necessary: I777UCKH7_OCD_Root_No_BL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Yes the ucle5 ics u downloaded and flashed had a kernel in it that works fine. However, I'd suggest doing what yer doing right now, flashing back to stock and starting over. If u like stock u can even keep it that way. (gingerbread of curse I mean not jellybean)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cmoore0965:
Random question, had the phone had the audio issues since you you purchased it? I assumed from your post, that you used the phone to handle unlocking with at&t, but I don't see a specific statement attesting to that fact. My train of thought being, that if showed up like that, hardware could be the culprit. Just a thought. Also if not, and this does sound like a kernel mic issue, there are TAR format siyah kernels used to achieve root, which you might try so as to specifically compare results pertinent only to the mic configuration.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] steffes:
thanks again cmoore. when looking at to purchase this 'unlocked' i777 (craigslist) i tried my straight talk sim card (for t-mobile phone) in the i777 but when powering it up it asked for unlock code, so seller said, "oh, i guess it's not unlocked" so i foolishly assumed everything would be fine cuz it looked new and he said all worked fine. like many others here, i've had plenty of good experiences with cl purchases -- up until now. so i activated the straight talk sim card i bought for $15 (for att phone) and had these audio probs from the start.

it had the uckk6 (2.3.6) gb version so i followed creepyncrawly's thread to return to stock and flashed to uckh7. then i followed jack man's thread to flash to ucle5 using kies. then i phoned att and got unlock code and entered it to test ability to use t-mobile sim card so my friend could see which would be strongest signal for data use at his house and also have ability to test phone using both sim cards thinking maybe one was bad, but audio probs are same regardless of which sim card i use -- i bought this phone for his use and am trying to fix the audio probs before giving it back to him cuz he's never had a smartphone and has limited tech abilities, worse than me if you can imagine that!

so i don't really know if it's h/w or s/w, but obviously am hopeful it's s/w and can be corrected once i figure what file may be bad.

as you probably already realize, i have only performed flashes above using odin via ocd method and am not confident/savvy enough yet to perform what you are suggesting, but it seems to me that maybe i should flash to the uckh7 version with root though to have ability to do what you suggest i try and then search for that kernel and search for procedures to compare results. since i'm not sure how to do what you are suggesting and only partly comprehend what you think i should try, any additional details how to go about this would be appreciated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] steffes:
thanks adfurgerson. straight talk provides different apn settings to be entered depending on which sim card you put in phone, the one they sell you for use in att phones and one for use in t-mobile phones. the audio problems appear to be the same no matter which sim card i use with their respective settings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cmoore0965:
I apologize for my oversite in clarity:) the tar format siyah kernels I was referring to are flashed via odin exactly as return to stock is, place it in the pda slot, and go. I'll see if I can't hunt them down. It only comes to mind because it's how I recently rooted my newest i777 in lieu of the older zedomax method. Your having tried complete restock firmwares, and the notion that this phone wasn't confirmed working as soon as you received it, sadly makes me think it was probably sold because of this issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] steffes:
thanks again cmoore.

well i've flashed the UCKH7-CL503881 again, but after booting up (this time) i can't get past the 'welcome to samsung sgh-i777' screen. it would seem that this is what creepyncrawly referred to as 'enters a bootloop' requiring a 3e recovery.

so, i can get to the 3e recovery screen fine and then select the "wipe data/factory reset" option, but nothing happens when i press the home screen button at bottom of touchscreen in an attempt to start the "wipe data/factory reset" so i'm kinda stuck at this point now. i didn't have this problem the first time i flashed to kh7, but maybe cuz phone was already wiped and reset to factory by person i bought i777 from? is it possible i need to press a different button rather than the home button?

this is what happens after flashing kh7 and phone reboots:

when i touch the green android to move on to setup screen a sorry! window pops up that says: 'The application Google Services Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" then after pressing force close, the window pops up again. so it would seem that this is what meant by 'phone enters a bootloop' right?

thanks again for any support, in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Have u tried selecting wipe data /factory reset with the power button in stock 3e recovery? I thought it was home that selected it but it may be power button. Been a long while since I've used stock recovery. In my personal opinion, and that's all it is, an opinion, this sounds like a hardware issue.
