[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
it has no selinux defconfig, so useless for any new 4.4 ROM

Hi I just flashed philz recovery v5.15 on my n7100

Then I installed aroma file manager from recovery(install zip)

Aroma installed and opened succesfully but when next time I go in philz recovery>advanced>aroma file manager it says file not found

clocworkmod/aromafm/aromafm.zip

What should I do tu run aroma

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] faisaldeus:
Sorry but im not able to find that thing in faq

If i helped someone than they can hit thanks
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Diamantes:
I agree.

After installing version 6, also my boot time slowed down a lot... is it possible? Reinstalling version 5.15 brought back everything to normality.

For my usage version 5.15 is more than enough.

In any case, thank you Phil for your hard work and efforts.

Cheers. :)

Despite I asked many times, there is a really poor feedback/debugging here,

Like all advanced users left the boat...

Any way

N7100 v6.02.1

http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16053#files

- disable sensors flashing in kernel

- use in kernel exfat modules

Let me know if it now boots quickly into recovery and if exfat cards support is fixed for those that had issues

If all is fine, I will push this to all Note 2 versions
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:
Flashing right now.

Sorry i couldnt help, as i didnt had the reported problems or a fat32 card

*Update*

Boot in recovery now is superfast. :good:

No problems mounting external exfat card (64GB) :good:

Install zip from external card :good:
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
:good:

So this is the bomb hopefully

Let's wait to see if those fat32 issues are also gone

Blazing fast boot.

I have to select "install zip" twice before it can read the sdcard1 (32gb fat32) but at least it does the 2nd time.

Also my hardware keys on my Note2 do not light up when I touch them nor do they give haptic feedback, but they do register the keystroke as I can see selection bar moving.

Hope this little report is of some help to you Phil

Cheers

Life is what happens while we... make plans!

exactly same results.

when i check into the /lib/modules, i cant find those files. are they supposed to be there?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] DirtyHarrx:
Hi PhilZ and sorry if this might sound kind of rude, and I'm sure this will sound rude:

But why is TWRP working good on 4.4 ROMs and PhilZ does not? I'd really love to use PhilZ Touch, as this is the best Recovery in my opinion. But I need to understand why PhilZ has problems with 4.4 and TWRP doesn't.

I'd love to switch to PhilZ as it is compatible with 4.4.

Sincerly Yours,

DirtyHarrx

Try rebooting again into recovery and try it mounts, but problem is we have to mount SD card manually on every boot

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
no luck.

"E: Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!"

that's what it say...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Ram121:
Have you done any operation after rebooting into recovery.

As per my experience if you try to mount SD card immediately after rebooting into recovery it will mount

And also after doing cleanup to install a new ROM it will not mount SD card until you reboot it to recovery

The new version does no more need to insmod the modules. They are built into the kernel

Your log is helpful, thanks

That's very interesting

I saw some devs patching the kernel for some slow responding sdcards

I will try to patch the kernel and see
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:
Just for the record.

Whats the brand of your card?

Mine its a Sandisk ultra and its working ok.

The strange thing is that every 64GB is a class 10 card.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
some cards are worst than others...

I am compiling a new one with some kernel changes

Issue is that no one is providing good debugging, or a kernel dmesg log

I will release the new one + some info for people having issues
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
6.02.1-sdfix

http://d-h.st/users/philz_touch/?fld_id=16053#files

People having issues on their fat32 cards with newer versions, please try this build
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] OldBoy.Gr:
Just flashed this one.

Same behavior. Needs to go through install zip procedure twice before it successfully reads my fat32 32gb card. No biggy though as it works.

Details:

If I select install zip, then from sdcard, all work fine.

If I select install zip, then from sdcard1 it will give me black screen for 2-3 seconds and then take me back to main screen. After that if I reselect install zip, then from sdcard1 it will carry on and read my external card just fine.

Also hardware keys on my Note2 still not giving any kind of feedback although they do register when pressed.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
Its kingston 64gb. And for the record, it worked just fine before
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Thank you for the feedback

It seems some sdcards are slow to mount, mainly big cards formatted as fat32

It is vold issue as it probably doesn't wait enough for things to complete

I will see if we can fix it

Normally, you should have exact issue with stock recent cwm builds

Can you try please the official build from here:

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager

exactly this one:

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-jfltexx.img

To flash it easily, just put it in my zip file after you rename it to recovery.img and overwrite mine in the zip

That way I can narrow the issue source
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
If you want things to be fixed, follow instructions and give feedback

Else, wait for others to debug it for you

Can you try this one:

Could be there are 2 different issues and yours is different could be fixed by my special last release
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
how can i be of assisstant?

i tried the last build with the sdfix, it still show E: error mounting /storage/sdcard1

fyi, my sdcard is mounted as /storage/extSdCard instead of sdcard1, if that matters. also, there is no exfat_core.ko nor exfat_fs.ko in my /lib/modules folder.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
last version no longer needs them, they are built into the kernel

also, recovery uses its own mount points, nothing to do with mount points inside rom

Your 64Gb card is formatted in fat32 or exfat?

Did you try to reformat it on PC to a single primary partition
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
i actually tried both format (fat32 and exfat) in single primary partition (currently i am on exfat). tried quick format and full format, but it didn't help. i even reinstall the mk4 with repartition.

the funny thing is that the 2 drives are visible in windows explorer but it cant detect any disk when i mount usb from recovery. it is correct that only ext sd card were accessible as UMD from recovery mounting, but now none of them is accessible from windows explorer.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
So, your sdcard is not working either in exfat or fat32?

Can you try this, while in recovery:

adb shell
umount /storage/sdcard1

# be sure it is unmounted here before proceeding as it could delete your data from sdcard, or do a backup!!!
ls /storage/sdcard1
# should show no files if it is unmounted

rm -rf /storage/sdcard1
mkdir -p /storage/sdcard1

# if fat32
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/sdcard1

#if exfat
mount -t exfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /storage/sdcard1

After mount command, go into recovery gui and use the install zip menu from /storage/sdcard1

Report if you can see the files

Report any error while doing the adb shell commands

This is important for me to fix the issue for these few resistant sdcards
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] robalm:
Just installed: philz_touch_6.02.1-n7100.tar.md5

Install zip from sidecard = blackscreen for a few sec then back to main meny

Changing backround color = blackscreen and back to main meny.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
The card is just not mounted wether it was on fat32 nor exfat. I assure you it worked fine before version 6. But now even i flash the older recovery, it is still wont mount.

i got to this point and this is where i think it is useless to continue the steps you described. the system doesnt even mount the sdcard1.

Edit: sorry i tried to upload the screenshot but it failed for some reason

ok i went ahead and continue the command by skipping the 'rm' command as the directory is not exist anyway.

i got mounting failed: I/O error message on mounting command.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] manikant_009:
Same here if you will continously press the option in change menu background then it comes back to main menu same problem with menu color option
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
you have to exactly copy paste my commands

In shell, to unmount, the command is unmount

Now, I need the exact error code of your mount command

Finally, if your card doesn't mount in system, then it is corrupted

You should format it from scratch
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
No logs, no support I can give

To get a log, read the FAQ

Google also how to get dmesg logs

I need both for this issue. It is specific to N7100, so I think it is related to kernel

N7105, i317 and other US variants don't seem to be affected, neither is the i9300
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] OldBoy.Gr:
Just did as you instructed and it had worst effects. The phone stopped booting right at the Samsung logo and stayed there still. So back to trusty PhilZ recovery which saved the day :)

And here is a recovery log from your sdfix version in case it helps more.

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
:good:

There is a crash in recovery that was restarted, that's why it flickers

Well, fat32 cards are mounted using stock cwm sources while exfat are mounted using my modifications

Seems like minivold is failing to mount some fat32 cards, and worst, it crashes

I am migrating to cm-11.0 sources as vold underwent a lot of changes

Once migration is done, you'll get an update and we start debugging it from there

Hopefully, cm-11.0 sources fixed it, else, I will look at it

If vold only failed, I could drop to system mount. Sadly, vold crashes, which is rather bad

You must reproduce the error, and then create the log, else your log is just a clean start
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:

Please format your sdcard to exfat if you are affected by the bug

It should fix your issues

[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Did you try with the "-t vfat" as you have fat32

Normally that bypasses fuse and should work if your card is fine
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
i have exfat formated sdcard.

i will try to reformat the card using sdcard formatter from sdcard.org. see if that helps. and before that i will try to follow your instruction of using vfat

here is the result:

[MENTION=4666971]Phil3759[/MENTION] , wondering is the latest build support android 4.4?
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
i thought i have to update you on this. i downloaded sdcard formatter from sdcard.org, reformat my sdcard and with the option of size adjustment. i haven't copied the content and i tried to mount it in the recovery, it is working, it can read the sdcard. now i am copying the content and will try it later and will update here if it is in fact my sd card's partition is corrupted.

edit: it works perfectly after reformat using sdcard formatter from sdcard.org
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] king.larry:
After trying to make a backup with vers. 6.00.8 (i told about the errors) i found out, that my sd-card (64gb exfat) is destroyed! The backup has written the first four files and nothing more. The bootimg of the card has an error and i can't delete or write any files on it but it's readeble.

I tryed to format or delete the partition with windows and linux, but without any success. I will not say, that this is a problem of the recovery ... hope so ... but it's warning to other users!

I just ordered a new sd-card ... :(
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] zscomp:
You dont need a 3rd party programm to format your card.

Format it from windows but dont change anything in "allocation unit size"

Choose the "default".

It could happen even if you had copied a file from inside the windows.

Doesnt matter.
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] Phil3759:
Thank you for the feedback :good:

I can forgive you to having let me waste a lot of my time. I asked you many times to format it

I also mentioned many times and in faq that sdcards must be formatted as primary partition and default block size
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] cnn888:
i did try that, did not work.

i did format it, but somehow it did not do what it supposed to.

thanks a lot and sorry for my stupidity...
[Galaxy Note II Android Development] king.larry:
??? You mean, when i copy a file from a windows-system to the sd-card ... nice joke ... i do that anytime without any problems!

??? Doesnt Matter ... i don't know what you pay for a scandisk pro class 10 with 64gb but for me: it DOES matter when my sd-card is destroyed!
