[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4GRL:
dead internal storage

Hi,

I am a Noobie. I have read various threads and came across this thread. I have a dead internal storage. I followed the first few lines, got the custom rom and untared the PDA portion. I have a few questions, from the 3rd line of the above post:

- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs ) [[I created a GITHUB account. How do I proceed with extracting the initramfs from the zimage on my computer. Please explain the steps, bit confused.]

grep for /dev/block/mmcblk, there should be 4 .rc files containing references to it as well as within the binary file /init.[[what is grep? Are these files in the zimage?

- Please explain cpio archive, mount factoryfs.rfs as a loop and also how to modify vold.fstab.

Please explain the steps in detail as the steps are very confusing. I will really appreciate your help

I'm confused too, help!

Basically I can't connect my phone to my laptop due to faulty usb connector and earlier I did a factory reset on my phone (Samsung Galaxy SII / S2) but after my phone rebooted, it only came up with the notification bar and a black screen along with the message "Application Installer is not working" so after searching around, apparently my firmware has f***ed up. Now I'm trying to flash the firmware - original or any, I don't mind - via the external SD but can't find an article that's clear so can anyone help?

Thanks!:)

To solve USB problems try this , since your device is S2, (this is S1 forum) visit S2 forum for better S2 guides ( search under device for your device forum)

To Flash a ROM, you can do it with Odin3 from PC, or on CWM recovery or with Mobile Odin, direct from Phone ( only to get the idea , look here ) but go here for S2 ROM's

If you still want to know how to flash with a broken Sd card check out the guides here

I can understand how irritating it is when we try everything to bring alive our smartphone. Even the Asia's biggest mobile phone market (Gaffar Market, New Delhi) repairmen refused me about the hope to make my device alive. Thanks to [MENTION=4479857]rxxxni[/MENTION] which made my phone alive.

Now coming to the point, go to the link:

www.htcmania.com/showthread.php?t=520348

the site is in Spanish language, so enter the link

in Google search and go the link (on a PC).

(Google will show you an option of translating it

in English on the top of the site when you open

it. Now click on the translate and you will be able

to see in English)

There are 2-3 ROMs available for download.

I am more than 100% sure that one of them will

bring smile on your face.

(I think that you are familiar with SD card

partitioning, even the instructions are given on

the site)

If not familiar with partitioning then read below:

The easiest method is to partition the card using

recovery as most of the recoveries ( except

stock recovery) provide an option to partition.

You have to Google search for partitioning using

windows/Ubuntu as I don't have PC right now to

help you. I did by making bootable Ubuntu on my

pendrive. Then I booted in Ubuntu Linux and

made partition by its default program. There is a

video on YouTube which shows how to partition

on Linux.

make sure you are using at least class 8 or 10

SD card with at least 8 GB card. I always failed

with class 4 card.

In my opinion, a 2gb of ext4/rfs + 6/14gb

(depending on if you have 8gb or 16 GB card) of

fat32 partition is perfect for running OS on

sdcard.

In my post

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2276729

, there is given a link of Spanish

website, translate it using Google. (I also included the link in this post. There you find

3-4 ROMs to download.) One of them will surely

work depending on your system layout.

All the best.

If you still have problems, feel free to contact

me.

Switch off your phone. Than switch it on holding the "Vol-" and the "power" button. Then select recovery.

So I noticed today that I'm missing something here. Unmount SD.

View attachment 1801853

This probably explains why I can't save photos from stock cam to ext anymore, nor does the movie app see all my videos. So I said, hell, best time for a repair or maybe I can finally work on unlocking my bootloader and trying a custom rom? Nope. Because the phone no longer mounts to computers at all. Balls.

Help, anybody? Phone and ext card are perfectly fine with other apps. I just can't figure out why it no longer mounts as usb, nor can I figure out why the camera and movies apps can't see it.

Tapped on a not-so-stock ST27i ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] androidmeda:
Didn't know framework had anything to do with this one. I got the Z one modified for the XGo, and the options are back. It mounts as well. This is peculiar. Before this the last thing I flashed was St. Octane.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
If you're really concerned about battery life, you might consider going back to an ics rom. Jb seems to be a little rougher on the battery...the only way I've been able to get closer to the drain times I had with ics under the same usage is to flash a custom kernel, underclock and undervolt, and disable all non-essential background data. PAC man/komodo is the best combo I've found, but everyone's different...

I downloaded the HydracoreNirvana kernel and installed it through CWM.

Later I thought of installing the Ultimate N7000 XXLSZ JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.2 ROM but I read somewhere that the HydraCoreNirvana kernel was not supported so I download SpeedMod K5-1 and flashed it through odin. The phone Rebooted but it didn't restart. It only showed the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen and won't turn on.

I managed to boot into recovery and install the SpeedMod kernel and then, as stated in the ROM's OP, I flashed it checking every step as I took.

ROM was installed successfully but after the Language selection screen it shows "Samsung SetupWizard has stopped". I tried reflashing the ROM but its still the same error.

How do I get past this??

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takumibunta:
Rooting your phone will definitely get many benefits (my opinion) For example do some system tweaks, remove system apps/bloatwares, or do something that requires root access. I don't know what you think about root, needed or not needed is depends on your needs bro... Hmm maybe I can say this, go check some apps that requires root, see if you need them, then decide to root or not...

You can root note 2 by using CF ROOT/NOTE 2 TOOLKIT/flash root zip file though custom recovery. Read the instructions is important mate... If you do I believe you won't brick your device/cause any problems...

Rooted device still can transfer data of course!

I received an invention to test the coming Jelly Bean update. I declined.

I am pretty happy with my D4 with ICS. I am rooted, have successfully removed all the bloatware, and I have everything set up just the way I like it. So, I really have no desire to start all over again, with JB.

Is there a way to disable the upcoming general VZW OTA update to JB? I still remember the constant and irritating nag popup back with the OTA update from GB to ICS. I really don't want to deal with that again. :rolleyes:

So....

Is there a way? I have searched, but all I could find, are older methods for GB and even older versions of Android. And even then, I found contradictory methods where one person says they found such, and later, another post by someone else reporting such doesn't work permanently.

As mentioned, I am rooted. So, possibly, all I need to know what are the appropriate .apk, .odex, or .zip files to "hide".
