[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
I just returned my phone to stock using ODIN and Entropy's method. I was previously running SHOStock3v.1.3.5 and was having problems creating a viable backup via CWM; not sure why, I've backed up many times before. What changed recently is that I set the default backup format to "TAR" from "DUP" as mentioned here. After that, my backups went from around 17MB to 1.6GB. At some point, possibly even with that first backup, the process would hang while generating the .md5. I left it for about 1.5 hours one time and still it wouldn't finish; I got around this by holding the power button to reboot. I reset the default format back to "DUP" and my backup size went back to about 17MB, but still wouldn't finish generating the .md5. All of these backups seemed to be causing System Media Storage some severe heartburn, filling up the internal memory. Deleting the backups solved this issue, but I was left with a phone that I could not backup.

Finally, this morning I (regrettably) used ROM Manager to try backing up, not having seen the numerous posts about never using ROM Manager. So my phone became a brick, stuck in a bootloop at the Samsung logo. So now I'm at the point where I've returned the phone to stock w/root as mentioned above. I've also reflashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxys2att.tar via ODIN. BUT, when I try to flash a new ROM I get an error message saying "E:Can't mount /emmc/".

I've looked at some similar threads like this one and this one, but they don't seem to contain the answers I need. I am about to attempt to wipe the sdcard using the dialer code *2767*3855# found in this post. Before I do that I want to verify that there isn't something less drastic that I could try first. Anybody know what's going on? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
Eh sounds like you may have gotten the emmc brick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
Yuck. I did some research on that and it sounds mostly like what I've got (I have the ICS kernel - version 2.6.35.7). The difference between my situation and the one in a post I found is that my phone boots and acts normal, for the most part. I ran GotBrickbug? v1.2 and it verified that my eMMC chip is known to have the bug. I found a discussion thread for the Epic 4G on the subject which points to this fix, but it seems to be for those whose phones are really bricked... mine is not, do you have any suggestions on what I might try?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
Well, the problem that caused it was in Samsung kernel source for ICS. Flash a custom kernel known not to have it and see what you get afterwards. Also, DO NOT do any memory wipes while on the stock kernel because then you will for sure get the bug, that's what causes it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
I resolved my issue, though it wasn't what I thought out was. For some reason when I selected "Choose zip from internal sdcard", CWM was trying to access the external sdcard, which I had pulled. The opposite was true as well. If my external card was in its slot I would have realized the switch around right away. My phone its back in business, I now have SHOstock3 installed and it's running just fine. Thanks for the help, really glad my emmc wasn't mangled! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Shawn:
Hmm, not sure why it would try and read from external. Anyway, glad you got it up and running again!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bellino13:
Thanks. Yeah, I downloaded Ktoonsez NEAK kernel, but decided to flash a jelly bean rom/kernel instead. After I flashed I was able to data wipe and factory reset and reflash for a clean install.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hoanvnu:

Same to my Phone

So if want to solve this problem, you must have one external SD card which conten Zip file. Right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Not necessarily. You can put the zip file on the internal card, then you have to choose external card from within CWM. You may have to have an external card installed for that option to show up though. Or, if you put the zip on the external card, then you choose internal in CWM.

Hello,

I'm rooting/installing a custom rom on a friends phone. I'm on 2.3.5, .418. I successfully rooted using the self-extracting method. I've been trying to flash CWM/bootstrap to no avail. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what to do?

I've tried droid2bootstrap v1.0.5 and This .apk method. Neither seem to work. When I tell the phone to boot into recovery via the application is just reboots normally, if I select booting into recovery via vol- + pwr once I select android recovery it goes into a screen similar to that of cwm recovery, but there are no options and I have to perform a battery pull to reboot the phone.

Any help/ideas would be fantastic.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid X2] bdpope88:
I'm special

Well, found out what the issue was. The .apk method linked above asked that you plug in your phone to an AC outlet. I thought this was to ensure that your battery is high enough. With the battery at 100%, I ignored the warning. Going over the issue one last time, I tried plugging in the phone and it worked like a charm.

I'll leave this up just in case someone in the future is as special as I am.

I've been looking for the same thing. Idone a bit of reading up on WPA_supplicant.conf last night, and managed to get ad-hoc mode activated, somewhat but still working on it.

It shows the "ad-hoc activated" warning but haven't managed to connect properly yet..

the original WPA_supplicant.conf file looks like:

update_config=1

ctrl_interface=wlan0

eapol_version=1

ap_scan=1

fast_reauth=1

p2p_listen_reg_class=81

p2p_oper_channel=48

device_name=SAMSUNG_MOBILE

manufacturer=SAMSUNG_ELECTRONICS

model_name=SAMSUNG_MOBILE

model_number=2012

serial_number=19691101

From what I could gather you need to add:

Network{

settings in here

}

an example config and explanation here:

google: wpa_supplicant.conf, example,

(an example ad-hoc config is near the end of the page)

May end up having to edit the WPA_supplicant itself I'm not too sure yet but I'm going t keep hacking away for a few days to see what I can come up with, any help would be appreciated! :)

2-Didn't understand that

In Notepad++, open \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script from both your base and port ROMs. Edit the Port’s script to be like the Base’s updater-script: specifically, change, edit, or add the sections for permissions, ui_prints, asserts, run_programs, and installing the kernel. Don’t change any of the symlinks. In the Port script, make sure that the ‘format’ values are appropriate for your device (compare them to the Base script).

What are symlinks??
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaknin:
Symlinks are redirects ... ok in easier words the recovery doesnot go all over your zip package to install a rom .. it unpacks and goes to the updater-script ... the symlinks redirect the recovery to the specific folders where the components can be found ... plainly speaking symlinks act the same as hyperlinks do on wepages .. redirects to the required component

Best of Luck .. bdw did you think of a name for your rom

Yes there is always a risk involved of softbricking you phone ... so before you flash

1.make a nandroid backup of your current rom

2.keep a fresh copy of the rom you are using on ur sd-card

3.as u have a custom recovery .. there is little chance of bricking .. if anything goes wrong .. you can always use home+vol up+power to boot recovery and restore from nandroid after you have done a factory reset+dalvik-wipe+system-wipe+batterystats-wipe
