[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMatrixJR:
I'm in the same boat. Got a 300 for Christmas, bumped up to JB w/o reading here first (yeah...that was dumb). So from looking around the only way to root is to unlock and the only way to unlock right now is via the ASUS tool which - from what I've gathered - will send my serial number to ASUS and void my warranty correct?

A few questions:

1.) does anyone know if work is being done to be able to unlock/relock w/o voiding the warranty? I love root, but I won't do it while in warranty in case something unthinkable happens :(. I'm not sure how much of this would be true, but can't we use nvflash to download the locked bootloader then find a way to spoof the ASUS unlock authorization? Hell, unless each tablet uses a different signature couldn't we just post the nvflash-able locked/unlocked bootloaders? I'm thinking back to the flash processes from my Tegra2 gTablet. I could be way off base, but it seems plausible with my limited knowledge.

2.) is it possible to root w/o unlocking? I know I won't get CWM/TWRP and the ability to load non-stock ROMs but I can live with that. I'd like to be able to run TiB, ES File - Root, etc though. I thought I saw something about obtaining root w/o unlock, but I can't find it and it might have been ICS instructions.

3.) I take it there's no downgrading back to ICS that would fix this either....
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surdu_petru:
Hi!

You can try to unlock your device with AsusUnlock app ! - is the safe way to unlock bootloader ! ( certainly will void your warranty ! )

I don't think that's cause for concern ...I've unlocked bootloader in the very next day after I bought it ( in august this year )

- so far I think I made five hundred " flash and reflash rom " - ( for testing "custom roms" ) - and the device shows like the first day when I bought it :D

So, be more confident - the device is not so easily to break , you can install as many "custom roms" as you want - you just have to be very careful about the steps that you make - when you try to install a custom rom !

Good luck ! :good:

regards,

Surdu Petru
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMatrixJR:
Not worried so much about flashing causing issues. I've flashed my gTab more times than I can count. More worried about pre-voiding the warranty should I have any hardware issues. Like my battery life seems to be horrible and it might need sent in for that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NaughtyBot:
I have a Bell Note 2 and I recently bought the 64GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC UHS-I card. Since using it, I noticed that (when installed) the Device Status of the phone changes to Modified and I can't check/download Android updates from Samsung. Also, the Samsung Video Hub app won't let me use external storage to save movies (which I could do using my old 32GB PNY card). The card seems to read/write okay though.

I contacted Samsung by email, the reply was laughable (solution was for a different issue on a different phone). I also contacted SanDisk and they suggested reformatting to FAT32 using a utility from www.sdcard.org. I haven't tried this yet but I know that FAT32 will reduce file sizes to 4GB. I don't know if it will have an effect on the read/write speeds of the card.

Just wondering if anyone else using this card was experiencing the same issues. If you haven't checked, maybe you might want to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NaughtyBot:
Sorry, you lost me there....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
I've been looking at that same card. I'm definitely interested to see how this resolves for you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gubbilo144:
I just bought one.I formatted to fat32 using a third party formatter from the web called eause formatter.Everything is working good now on mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] funnycreature:
He posted that twice already in the "What iPhone users miss" thread...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] C.Flat:
No problems here. It even worked in my ancient Desire Z, TF101, and HTC Raider
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Android The Greek:
Somehow I had my 64gb sndisk hot corrupt. I had to reformat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NaughtyBot:
Well, I tried to do what the SanDisk guy told me but the formatting utility that he mentioned doesn't have the option to change file formats. Started out as exFat, still exFat. Some of you have mentioned using other formatting/partitioning utilities - the folks at www.sdcard.org say the following:

"The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.

The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card."

So there you go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mxmarcus:
I am using the card with the t-Mobile version and it working fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 09GraySilverBusa:
Works without any problems in mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NaughtyBot:
The weird thing is that it starts out okay and only shows up after I've reloaded all my apps. Even then, I can still read and write to the card. I just can't get updates because it says that my phone is modified. I can't see how an app would cause it. There are no side-loaded apps. And it doesn't happen with my 32GB card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NaughtyBot:
Just a quick update for anyone who might be wondering....

After making this thread, I went to my local BestBuy and bought another SanDisk microSDXC that was exactly the same as the one I had. I put the same files on the card and the phone did exactly the same thing. I did discover however that the problem shows up when I reboot the phone with the card installed but doesn't show up (at least not right away) when I unmount/hotswap/remount the card with the phone left on.

Then I took the card to the BellAliant store where I bought the phone and had them try the card in a brand new phone. Same problem on the new phone.

Nothing funky on the card, just my songs (transferred using DoubleTwist AirSync) and my photos (transferred via PC). This card hasn't been reformatted and my phone hasn't been rooted.

So I don't know what's going on, if its only a problem with Galaxy Note 2's that are being sold in this area. I can't believe that no one else is having this issue.

Anyway, I put in a support ticket with Samsung (again), not expecting anything new. The Samsung tech that I spoke with did say that only TWO (I think) 64GB microSDXC cards were tested and approved for the Note 2 and that the SanDisk was one of them. Also, the girl at the BellAliant store said that they were told that the phone only worked with a TOTAL of 64GB (internal + external) but I KNOW she was wrong about that. Just some of the things you hear when trying to troubleshoot something that no one seems to have an answer for....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] loktite:
iMHO you really should format it fat32 and retest.

-- other suggestions for tools --

Might search for mini partition tool or gparted live cd. I've used the gparted live cd to partition my 64gb sandisk previously for dual booting my og atrix.

-- I'm sure there are better suggestions on tools, but I strongly suggest converting it to fat32 before further testing / actions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] 09GraySilverBusa:
The Note II ONLY supports FAT32

When I got my new 64GB SanDisk card I powered off the phone. Pulled the back cover and replaced my 32Gb with the new 64GB micro SD card right out of the packaging and then replaced the cover and powered it up. Phone recognized it and accepted file transfers to it without issue. No problems to date and I have been using it for 3 weeks without issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dandaman1219:
ExFAT works fine with my note 2 on perseus. Doesn't play well with note2core though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iahk:
If the Note II only supports fat32, then someone needs to tell my note because it's working fine with my card on exfat. stock kernel and all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] warfanax:
I too have bell note 2 with 64gb sandisk and everything is fine. I jusy put the card in the phone and formated with phone. Its exfat btw.

I suggest u to format the card with phone so it can format with the appropriate fike system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] NaughtyBot:
See, that's the strange thing. The card DOES "work" - it formats fine and I can transfer files to and from it. The ONLY problem is that, when I put my files on it, the status of my phone changes to "modified". Then, when I go to updates, it won't even try to connect to the servers, just tells me that my phone is modified and that updates are not available. As I mentioned above, I've duplicated the problem with two identical cards and in two different phones (one of which was in-store, brand new).

I realize that I can just take the card out of the phone when I know an Android update is available to download, I just don't always know when updates are available. In either case, doesn't seem like it should act that way. And I didn't want to force-format the card to FAT32 with a 3rd party format utility because that would destroy the "protected partition" on the card and void the warranty (those 64GB cards are expensive).

I understand that I might just have to live with this, it's just odd that no one else is experiencing it. Think I'm going to let this thread die. Folks on XDA tend to not like re-reading the same thing over and over. Thanks to all who replied.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] warfanax:
Why do you think formating an sd card with fat32 would void the warranty? Never heard such thing before. You can format any file system you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] raduque:
Reread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
It would be helpful if you were to explain why you believe that.

My (exFAT-formatted) SanDisk 64GB micro SDXC works fine in my Note 2, EXCEPT that (despite the exFAT formatting) when I try to record a long video with the camcorder, it stops at 4GB and says the maximum file size was exceeded. Haven't found a solution yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] naghtan:
I have the same card with Umi X1. It recognize it... and some app like camera can write on it. But android can't move installed app to SD. Say not enough space in sd. But it have 50 gb free... even titanium pro can't ... any help? I had try with ICS and Jelly Bean.

UMI X1

Chipset : MTK6577

O.S. : Jelly Bean 4.12 Ver. 20121219 (Official ROM)

P.D.

It is not possible to merge both internal storage I have right now?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
If you have 64gb micro sd class 10 the default format is exFAT and you need to convert to Fat32 format follow this:

1) Turn off your phone and remove your 64gb Micro SD card.

2) Insert your 64gb Micro SD Card to your PC card reader then right mouse click that drive then format to NTSF not the default (exFAT)

3) Download EaseUS Partition Master or you can google it for other link to download this application.

4) Open EaseUS Partition Master then select that drive (Micro SD Card) then Fomart Partition then select FAT32 then select OK.

5) After finished the above procedure you can removed the Micro SD Card then put it back to your phone then turn it on.

This procedure works like a charm for me and tested on two 64gb micro sd cards class 10, hope this one Helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worminater:
All; not sure if this is the right place and I didn't see a similar thread on search.

I've swapped roms a few times on my GSM 16GB nexus; and after my latest (~month old AOKP nightly to recent CM10 nightly); my available internal storage appears to have shrunk; and I can't install apps.

Via 'Storage Settings'; I see 13.33GB Total space, but when it sohws individual usage; it shows ~3gb total between 'Apps, Media, Downloads, Available'; as in it's not seeing the other 10GB of space? In the graph at the top visualizing the space usage; it has a mysterious Grey color representing the missing 10GB of space.

Any ideas how to recover that space; and how I can avoid losing it in the future? (I don't mind losing data currently on phone; but ~3gb is not enough for daily use). I have the full version of Rom manager; I have yet to play with the Partition SD Card utility there (or a similar partition tools in app store..) as I wanted to find out what I had done wrong as I fix it.

Thanks,

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
Edit: I need to learn to read.

A screenshot would help, but if you're including Available in the 3GB then you probably have some CWM backups hiding somewhere. They eat space, but aren't picked up by Android when it calculates storage space.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
In my experience the biggest culprit in "missing" space is nandroid backups.

:Edit: I need to learn to read too :cyclops: IOW I agree wif Cilraaz. :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worminater:
ty

Thanks for idea; and yea; including 'Free'; i have ~3gb of space.

I'd post a screenshot but I don't seem able to email them off the device currently... (It let me take them; but gmail's giving me a 'nospace' error); and you guys seem to understand what I meant.

I don't have a 'Nandroid' folder anywhere that I can find to delete/pair down backups; and I removed all my clockwork mod backups; and it didn't make a difference on device reboot...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worminater:
Ah, screenshots finally got through.

http://imgur.com/iQ38O
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worminater:
Playing around in CWM Recovery; i attempted, 'Free unused backup memory"; and I jumped from ~1gb 'Available' to 3.42gb 'Available'. Crisis has been averted for now; but I'm still missing ~6gb... (No current CWM backups)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runderekrun:
Mine also says 13.333 available...

EDIT: Nevermind, misunderstood you.

---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 PM ----------

I ran into this problem. Perhaps this will help you.

Starting with 4.2, Google changed the way your sdcard is mounted. It used to be mounted at /data/media. Now its mounted at /data/media/0. They changed this because of the new Profiles. My problem was that I was using an older recovery. One that would save my nandroids at /data/media/TWRP. After updating it now uses /data/media/0/TWRP. So I would check the /data/media folder and see if there is any old backups there. You will have to use adb or something similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Raghav@awesome:
Maybe u should lock and then unlock the bootloader on your phone this helps solve most problems.u can then flash cm10 if that's what your using. And as said in an earlier post make sure you have the latest version of cwm recovery.

Please press the thanks button of this works.

Source: had a similar problem and this helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
So, you're suggesting the OP wipes their storage? Why would you suggest this without stating that: 1. data loss will happen and 2. you should backup your phone before doing this?

OP, runderekrun had a good suggestion. Check /data/meda for rogue CWM backups (and make sure you're up to the most current version) or multiple /0/0/0 folders (if you've flashed multiple 4.2+ ROMs).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nakawanaoki:
I experienced this one already. That's when i flash a AOKP nightly 4.2.1 based. When i'm in 4.2 i can't see all the files from my 4.1.2 ROM. I switched back to 4.1.2 then copied all files from root folder to the 0 folder. Try to use Root explorer. It will show you emulated and legacy storage.

Hi All

Greetings.

I recently purchased my SGS3. Everything worked fine initially, the phone would get detected to my PC and Kies would detect fine. Its later when I noticed the use of OTG cable has stopped getting my phone detected to the PC, nothing pops up when i connect to the PC, not even on the device (Camera Mode/etc. nothing pops up), it simply charges, even the PC does not seem to invite the phone.

Its my guess that after the use of the OTG cable, this has stopped working.

with this menu you can install custom ROMs and system updates (update.zip) e.g. in order to root the device.

press & hold POWER + UP + HOME button combo to boot into ASR. release POWER after a few seconds, keep holding UP+HOME, release HOME first , then UP button.

Also, from inside ASR, you can start CWM.zip = clockworkMod recovery menu , an advanced recovery menu. :cool:
