It should be nearly 5 gigs you may have some wiping to perform to remove the remnants of the old system. Good luck.

Edit: data can consume a gig easily as well a single backup can.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siera_lion:
Tried to wipe everything again. For some reason I have 3.64 GB as I did before.

Edit: Tried 1 More time and now everything worked just greatly. Got 4.99 Gb (lol). Thanks again for the help :)

Im with hboot 1.36 and I still cant understand should I flash just the Mdeejay's moded boot.img or make repacked one in the website they gave?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
You need to repack it with the one you can find in the rom.zip.

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] rocketsh0e:
Alright, cause Im now with CM10 and I just flashed the moded boot.img and it works fine...

What would be the difference with repacked one?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Propably no difference at all but better to be safe than sorry.

E: nevermind

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
The boot.img contains the kernel and the ramdisk.

Mdeejay modified the ramdisk to work on the newer hboots

When you repack, you are putting the latest kernel with the modified ramdisk

By not repacking you are essentially running an older kernel than intended and potentially missing out on any kernel fixes that have been merged since mdeejay released his modified boot.Img
[HTC One X] rocketsh0e:
So should I repack it with every CM10 release to make sure I have the latest kernel?
[HTC One X] TToivanen:
Check the changelog for kernel changes. The kernel is updated almost never, but when it is updated you have to repack it and flash it.

You don't even need to flash boot.img if there are no kernel changes.

Don't try to fix things that ain't broken....i always say ;)

If everything is working fine i should leave it like that......but that's just my opinion :)
[HTC One X] rocketsh0e:
Alright, Thanks! I repacked a boot.img between Mdeejay's and CM10's and flashed it. Everything seems to be fine again, but I'm glad I have the latest :Pp I hope HTC hurry up so we can have a kernel with workin GPS :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] La Tortuga:
Alright, first let me start by saying that I hope this is in the right area and i'm sorry because i'm sure this question has been asked to death.

I have a Galaxy S 3 Running stock with android 4.0.4 (Not rooted)

I also have a SanDisk Ultra 64GB SDXC class 10 MicroSD card (Formatted to FAT32)

I have had the phone a month and for probably the first week I was using the card in the ExFAT file format...Then random card identification problems started to pop up. So I scoured the web for a short time and found that the issue could be solved by reformatting the MicroSD to FAT32 at the expense of not being able to have single files larger than 4GB. Everything worked for a good week, then suddenly the phone didnt know I had music on it anymore, my player stopped and i confusedly navigated through songs that weren't there. I removed the card and reinserted and the files worked again.

Well today the phone is doing the same weirdness again, it is identifying that there is in fact a 64GB MicroSD and the amount of data is correct. It is also allowing me to navigate to the files in ASTRO, even my PC still detects and allows me to Add/Delete files from the MicroSD...BUT my phone will NOT use it. For example, if I go to camera and want to take a picture with the destination being the MicroSD, the phone says "What MicroSD?", also my media gallery is empty (Save for the files stored in the internal storage) and my music player is empty as well.

Anyway, I didn't know what course of action I should take. Does it sound like one or both of these items needs to be returned/reformatted/smashed with a hammer?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ramnex:
I am not sure if the sgs3 supports 64gb cards, i suggest you first try with a 32gb card to see if it is a card reader problem or a mmc problem

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] La Tortuga:
If that's the case why does it state on all the North American Cellular phone websites that the phone supports "Up to 64GB MicroSD"? Seems crazy that such a large feature could be so buggy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
The GSIII (international and US) variants do support 64 gb micro sd cards. It's advertised on the box.

It sounds like your sd card is failing you. Definitely backup all your data to a computer and think about replacing this micro sd card via manufacturer warranty.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
+1. Sounds like bad card. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] La Tortuga:
Ok I will try that. My next question is when I get the new sd card should I format it into the FAT32 file format?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
If you want recovery access must be Fat32. Otherwise does not matter. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] La Tortuga:
Thanks for the advice my good man. I'll post an update after the (hopeful) free exchange.

NO MORE LINUX OR CYGWIN NEEDED!!!

...now it`s easy as 123...

Boot.img structure should be the same as shown here http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

1. For MTK (chineese) phones - use MTK_unpack.bat (MTK_pack.bat)

2. For android standart phones - use STD_unpack.bat (STD_pack.bat)

To unpack: - drag boot.img (recovery.img) to unpack.bat ("unpack.bat boot.img" in command line)

- will be created "boot" ("recovery") folder with unpacked ramdisk inside - you can make changes and:

To pack back: - drag output folder ("boot" or "recovery") to pack.bat

- will be created new_image.img

I did this successfully on Lenovo A789 MTK6577 - it 100% works fine.

I`ve repack boot and recovery for phones listed below - but have no possibility to check out on the phone - so any volunteers appreciated...

- Samsung Galaxy S i9001, Galaxy III, Note II

- HTC Desire V sense 4

Not work with:

- Samsung Galaxy Note I, Tab I

But be careful - make backup and be ready to flash bricked phone with your flash utility.

UPD. v4 - win8 x64 support

[Miscellaneous Android Development] michfood:
Smth. went wrong... can You give me your boot?

I have to say one thing - not ALL boot can be unpacked - some phones have they own boot structure - it is not correspond to this: http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images - so my utility cannot process them.

For example it is Samsung Note (1) Samsung Galaxy Tab (1)... maybe other.

ps _polimorph_ - by the way... I have an interesting idea.

after unpacking gz archive - You should receive a file without extension in /boot folder - usually it is named "ram_disk" - and after that, my script uses it as source cpio archive to extract.

BUT! if in your boot this file was named "rmdisk" for example - script will stop after gz extraction - because were is no right-named cpio file to decompress.

this is easy to check

uboot & nvram backup mtd is it possible?

Hi michfood,

Could I call upon you for help once again :o

TWRP is without any doubt the best most user friendly recovery :good:

It works flawlessly on my Zopo zp300+ MT6577 Android 4.0.4 (ICS) :good:

With the help you provided me already TWRP also works great on my HDC A9300 MT6575 Android v2.3.6 (GB) :D

I was wondering if I we could get TWRP to backup uboot & nvram on the mtd version like it does on emmc version :confused:

I am unsure of the difficulty in doing this or is it a matter of simply editing a few lines of text. :confused:

Could you please advice once again which file's script's I need to edit etc :o

Here are the mtd partitions again from my device for your info.

I suppose it`s better to ask such question in TWRP thread.

Possibly You can achieve that with changing smth. like vold.fstab.

But possibly not - because it may need to change source codes and recompile again whole recovery binary

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how can we keep our TWRP version's updated :confused: TWRP is now 2.4.2.0 and has some great new fetures so I would like to update our version.

PS: I have made a donation to you for your hard work :good: But just to let you know and anyone trying to make a donation to you that because your donation button goes to paypal.ru I had difficulties trying to enter a amount to donate for example if you try to donate $5.00 usd if you enter 5.00 in the amount box you get a warning saying wrong format entered and shows you a example saying enter 5.00 :confused: I did manage to make the donation eventually :victory: Here's how when you enter a value lets say $5.00usd just enter 5 no . no 00 so for $10.00usd you would enter 10 nothing else :D

About PayPal - I`m not sure, but seems it uses natk-mvd@mail[B].ru[/B] (my email which I`ve used for registration on PayPal) - and automatically transfer button click to russian paypal site... but AFAIK it uses only one currency - USD, maybe they don`t like cents :laugh: as for me - something is better then nothing :laugh:

Sorry for inconvenience.

For TWRP - I didn`t made new version and honestly our товарищ :p yuweng much more succeed in recovery porting in his thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1825722

I ran into the same issue.

First try was to comment the line. I mean not sure if it breaks the function, any comment on this? I do have the feeling it did not work after...

Second is the reset the rights in the property dialog of windows hidden in the special privileges. The user will be forbidden to access the folder. Deleting the permission and run the batch again results fine.

Btw: broken glass and digitizer without repack of the boot.img with adb enabled there is no way of rescue my phone, so thanks a lot!
