[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] 00mred00:
its no internal memo...its in the methods and prcedures for techs ....I.e. it is policy to work on them.

funny tho that the clause does still exist in the terms and conditions that Sprint can term service for rooted phone. (the clause regarding tep directs one to tep specific clauses elsewhere fwiw..)

ultimately it's up to each store's management...they can fro what I understand override just about any policy if they feel it is in the best interest of the company

Tassadar released his amazing app, multiboot v3 yesterday, which among other things provides usb booting support. Today, I installed rasbeanjelly on my external hdd. I now have 147 gigs of internal memory in android.

I just thought I would share this, as i believe it is the largest internal memory on an N7 to date. Thanks again to Tassadar for multiboot. No more worrying about space.

[Nexus 7 General] Reeonimus:
Not really "internal" though is it.

That's pretty cool but carrying around a HDD just to use the tab is pretty counter-intuitive.
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
Than this is not for you. It is not physically internal, but from a software standpoint, it is indeed internal. You dont have to carry it around, because i also bave two more + ubuntu installed on the device itself. This is for when i am "docked". It works well also because I made a modified otg cable that is about 6 feet long, and the hdd cord is 3 feet. That, and my hdd attatches to the back of my case.

Could see this being very useful coming up. May have to install it. Would love to be able to switch ROMs like that
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
It really is. I keep 2 android and one ubuntun installation on the device itself, and one android and one ubuntu on the external hdd. I test alot of apps and beta test others, and never have to worry about crashing my os. I jist test everything on one of my extras. If it crashes, i just boot back to internal. Also handy for big games and having 10-20 movies and thousands of songs accessible whenever I want them. My external is very small physically, so no big deal there.
[Nexus 7 General] lukkypuggy:
This seems way overkill but im one to talk always messing around with my stuff, lol
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
On memory size, it is overkill. That was the point, as this started as a test to see if it could be done. The hdd will be split into 3 partitions. One android, one ubuntu and one collective storage to be shared across them all. The handy thing is, there are three nexus 7 in my house. I can boot the same os from any of them, by just plugging the hdd in. No transferring backups, no flashing. Just plug, boot and done. All my stuff and settings, just as they were on the other.
[Nexus 7 General] mk92595:
Thats cool, I tried my 500gb HDD and TWRP won't let me use it. It lets me use my 4gb though.
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
What is the 500 Gb formatted with? Mine was picky with fat32 and ntfs. Once I formatted to ext4, it took right away. I would bet it will work for you too. Hope you get it going!

Edit: You also need an hdd with external power supply. Mine did not, so I had to splice a 5 volt supply into the usb cord. Works perfectly.
[Nexus 7 General] mouse100:
So did you format your HDD with Linux in ext4? Yesterday I tried to install paranoid on a 16gb pen drive formatted in fat32 and I set data.img to 1024mb, cache to 500mb and system to 600mb but it took too many time! How long did it take to create a 147GB data.IMG?????

[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
On the external hdd, an android rom installed even faster than flashing straight to the n7. Rasbeanjelly installed in about 6 seconds, and gapps about the same. Ubuntu took 10 minutes from flash to desktop ready. Format your hdd to ext4 and give it a shot. The speed is actually pretty shocking. A regular usb 2.0 pendrive would take forever to install to. The hdd is lightning fast. I will make a video and upload to youtube of an android installing to the hdd later tonight.
[Nexus 7 General] mouse100:
So also if I try to format my pen drive in ext4 nothing changes and I've to switch to HDD to obtain your installation time, right?

Did you format it with Linux or a windows tool?

Correct. The hdd has a much higher i/o speed capability. The 2.0 pen drive is very slow.

[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
I think you are confusing "internal" and "on board". Internal is not just memory "inside" the device. Internal also refers to the space in which the operating system is itself installed to and grows within. When booting this particular system, it is entirely on the hdd. It is using no on board space at all.

To be strictly accurate, "internal memory" is any memory which loses its contents upon loss of power (dynamic, ram). So we are both technically wrong. However, the android clearly sees it as internal.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gskillivenom:
Hello everybody. So i recently got my Galaxy S2 , about 2 weeks ago to be exact. And i have a problem with Wi-Fi. It turns on , connects and everything is nice. But then sometimes , the connection itself dissapears and nothing loads ( apps , images , etc..). I thought its just something with my router , but I also tried using my Galaxy player 5.0 and Huawei U8800 Pro and everything is well ! Everything loads instantly , where as with my S2 I often ( very often , like every minute ) get a 30 second connection loss and nothing loads. Wi-Fi works , the connection not always.

So is it a hardware issue? Or just something with the settings?

check your router and check to see if registers the s2, you may have to create a static ip address for it, if it is not registering properly.

If you cannot understand me/this and figure out some stuff on your own, there is no chance in hell you'll be able to make a controller work on your phone.

You will, in addition to one of those controllers, need the appropriate app on your phone and computer software on your Windows/Linux machine to alter the controller Bluetooth pairing address.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobleskill:
Sounds like your EFS stuff has been fux0red somewhere along the. I'm thinking maybe there was some custom ROM flashing going on in its recent past? I've come so very close that 'oh what's the worst that could happen' moment myself mostly due to feeling like I'm the only person on the planet that has a lte vetsion of this device. N8020 just doesn't seem to have any development dome yet... anyway back on point...

Unless you have a back up of the efs partition its not something you can flash away and so will need warranty repairs or replacement by Samsung. You could try for DOA with the provider you 4ot through if its inside the timeframe, its either 14 days or 45 from memory but that's something that could backfire if you get a tech savvy sales person and the bust you. The first few posts are talking about making sure if you send it straight to Samsung that they don't bust you by the inbuilt flash counter. If they find its been flashed or the counter is >1 they will NOT cover it under warranty and you will be up for costs to repair. Can get a little expensive so best to be 100% this is sorted before submission. Ignore the poster above (mags69).. they must have not read the posts in full and are basically sending you to the wolves...

Search efs from I9100, I9000. Any of the note handsets 7xxx or whatever to learn why its so important to be sure you have that backup before going crazy. Worth a poke around in the file sysytem too IMO.. most,>90% from what I've seen, custom anythings flashed in cmw will do the backup by default. Seen it in folders, zips and nested deep in the sir structure. Like /mnt /sdcard /revo. Or /mnt /sdcard /checkrom/backup and so on.

Sorry for your troubles too mate.. sucks I know but with a calm and steady approach you should be able to come back from this with a lesson learned. Calm and steady and lie your ass off to Samsung

EDIT: maybe try a different modem. Hell its not going to make thing worse at this stage provided you don't hard brick your device somehow but obviously a lte stock modem would be the winner to try. Long, long shot though... worth the time to be sure on the other hand. I bet the efs at a different block address in the rom on these Ltd ones though and so its been overwritten or whatever cause the update has been coded to write at a specific block that's fine on say wifi version but due to the software differences on 3g or lte ones.

Modem can fix nothing it does not touch EFS .

CWM flash does not always backup EFS so don't rely on that read the description .Tools are available to back up EFS folder .

Ah I see... well seems like there's one Samsung employee that needs to be asking the hard questions of his bosses.. haha could you imagine "boss my phone is fux0red for no good reason... fix it or I go public with what I know" hahahaha

That's a little disconcerting to know its bugged out without any flashing.. anyway back to the problem.. couldn't be as simple as getting the IMEI off the box or an invoice or even from your cellular provider from their records and just use whatever to restore it. It cannot be an illegal act to restore it the crime would be in changing it and therefore committing fraud over wire/telephony or whatever its called.. from my understanding its not the changing the number itself thats the criminal act but registering the fake IMEI on the network and using data or calling or texting is when you actually commit the chargeable offence. Same IMEI as original means no fraud or misrepresentation has taken place so no offence committed. You need that tech guru booth that sells cases but secretly the salesman has the mad skilz. They could do it no doubt at all. Hmm I remember a thread in the sgs2 boards about rebuilding the efs but from memory it was phone specific due to the address and the manual way you write the info.. sorry buddy outside my skillset so in terms of actually helping you get the right address to write to and what to write I'm no good to you. You need to find a guru in the sgs2/3 or similar that willing to help with this.
