[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ishan Sardar:
Just got the card for my i9305 and need advice from you guys formatting it. I'll usually put game files, music video, movies etc in it and I don't really see any file that could be larger than 4GB (if there are do give me an example). Now my question is what should I format it to? FAT32? NTFS? exFAT?. I'd probably go with exFAT cuz then you can put files larger than 4GB but I've heard that exFAT has issue getting the file corrupted and read many people complaining about it in this forum. NTFS can also consume files larger than 4GB but I've never heard anyone formatting it to NTFS. Now FAT32 is what most people are preferring. What do you guys think? Please explain this issue briefly so that I can take a decision.

Thank You!!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] CalInTheZone:
exFAT vs. FAT32; exFAT always wins. And you can't be sure that you can read NTFS in Android.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ishan Sardar:
okay..but what about the corrupting file issue? did u ever face that kind of problem??
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] CalInTheZone:
Never ever had a problem with a SD card if you don't count the sh*tt* Sony cr*p that I had the "pleasure" to own...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
I think what you're talking about is people switching from Samsung-based ROMs to AOSP-based ROMs. Microsoft is charging licensing fees for exFAT drivers, and while there are open source drivers available, none of them can be included in Linux or Linux-based projects (at least not in any official manner *hint* *hint*) due to patents that Microsoft have on the exFAT filesystem. The result of this is that people think their stuff is gone because Android reports it as uninitialised or corrupted, when in reality Android simply can't read it. Current CyanogenMod kernels (and I think Samsung-based as well) have FUSE support, which is a requirement of the current open source implementations *hint* *hint*.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ishan Sardar:
that was really informative and useful thank you. I just didn't know that was the reason behind peoples complaining. Now I'm gonna have to ask you again...I know a very little or almost nothing about samsung's way of development, fuse support, microsoft charges etc etc cuz I've been a sony user for a very long time and this is my first change. so If I format my sd card to exFAT and install AOSP based rom then my file system is tend to be corrupted? is there any way to make my android read the data after I install AOSP based rom?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
Yes, definitely, but I personally do not know how, you will have to look around, it might be difficult. I would suggest looking at how PhilZ custom recovery works, it has exFAT support.

If you simply install an AOSP-based (like CyanogenMod) without modifications you will not be able to read an exFAT formatted card at all.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ishan Sardar:
ah way too much hassle to find out how exFAT works on different roms besides I'll be changing roms quite a lot as I love to play around with my phone...I think I'll just go for FAT32 for now besides what could possibly be larger than 4GB if I'm only gonna put all the regular stuff like music, movie, games etc? anyway could you please tell me how to format it to FAT32? cuz mine is formatted to exFAT by default and I don't see any option in my pc to format it to FAT32, it's just NTFS and exFAT.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
I am assuming you are using Windows as Linux and OS X do not hide the option to use FAT32. Open a command prompt (cmd) and type "format /FS:FAT32 X:", where X is the drive letter of your SD card.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ishan Sardar:
damn man it took a good 3 hours....its so damn slow and after all that time now its saying the volume is too big for FAT32 :(

any other way to format it to FAT32 safely?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] CalInTheZone:
Your problem is your allocation size that is the problem with FAT32 when larger than 32GB, that is a big problem with MS standart software; it can't do it.

http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm is what you need and remember with large allocation sizes you don't want to but small files on the drive.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Ishan Sardar:
I tried the GUI app once before and it formatted my sd card to FAT32 instantly then I put it in my s3 and it recognized the card too then I formatted the card using my s3 again just to make sure it stays at FAT32 and lol it's gone back to exFAT again. Is this normal?

One more question when I start the gui it gives me several allocation unit size 512 to 65536 what should I select? Also after I format my sd to FAT32 will it behave normally? (I mean this was ridiculously fast while I mentioned the windows one took 3 hours lol) can I fill it up till the last bit? If the phone recognize the SD it means I won't have any problem with installing and rom or anything right?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
Look at "format /?" in a command prompt. It will tell you all the flags you can use, there should be one for quick format. And there are numerous programs which do this, just Google it.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] WORF84:
Try EASEUS Partition Master 9.1.1 Home Edition

There's a newer version but I used 9.1.1, you can get it from filehippo.com.

If you delete the partition in a partition manager software, do not try to format with Microsoft Windows Disk Management.

This can damage the drive!

Default cluster size is 32kB for 32GB to 2TB

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/140365
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] Rekoil:
Yeah... do not use EASEUS Partition Master. There are, as I said, numerous much much simpler softwares that can do this, not to mention the fact that "format" can do everything you want, given the correct arguments.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] alankam58:
i suggest try using HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool to format it. remember to use usb card reader if not format tool cannot detect your SD card.

Nvflash-ICS Restore!

This guide will not provide information to install Nvflash-ICS as that is covered well

elsewhere

.

Once you have read the information on that page click

Guide

.

All necessary partitions are backed up with Nvflash and you can restore only the ones necessary to recover your unit.

The second method to restore has been removed until further study can be done!

If your problem can't corrected using this information and normal use of recovery, adb, and fastboot go to this post to access the IRC channel for all Asus transformers using nvflash.

I have finished installing Nvflash but where are my files?

What files should I have?

Nvflash recovery and going back to ICS for a fresh start.

If your problem can't corrected using this information and normal use of recovery, adb, and fastboot go to this post to access the IRC channel for all Asus transformers using nvflash.

What is blobunpack?
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Due to my dock smoking my motherboard I have purchased a new motherboard and luckily it came as 4.0.3 ICS.

I now have installed and use Nvflash on my tablet.

In case anyone is interested this is the unit I purchased.

[Transformer TF300T General] f69m:
No.

The files contain device-specific keys and cannot be used for other devices.

See the original thread for details:

[DEV][TOOL][BRICKPROOF]TF300 NVFlash release!
[Transformer TF300T General] psjw12:
There's something I've not been quite clear about with NVFlash.

So I do my backup and keep my files.

Afterwards I upgrade to Jelly Bean (because I need the JB bootloader for ROM's right?), put TWRP recovery on, and flash a new ROM that uses the bootloader version I have.

So now I have the JB bootloader, can I still enter APX mode and do a restore, or do I have to remain on ICS bootloader to do a restore?

Is NVFlash truly unbrickable? A glance at this forum shows loads of bricks, would this have sorted their problem if they backed-up first?

Thanks!
[Transformer TF300T General] graphdarnell:
I played around with your instructions today. Ran into 2 snags:

1. Using blob UI, I typed "u" for unpack, then "blob." It returned with "cannot open 'b'";

2. Typed blobunpack.exe blob. Gave me all the files as shown in attached thumb, except LNX. Where did I go wrong?
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I'm having problems with the UI myself. It worked properly when posted. We probably have had an update that broke the UI. I'll remove the link. The tools are easy to use without the UI.

You don't have an LNX extension but you do have boot.img which is the same partition. Did you possibly rename the file and forget? Packing and repacking are still working properly for me including LNX.

I also updated the download link. The link now shown is for the version that can sign when blobpacking.
[Transformer TF300T General] graphdarnell:
Not really. I didn't touch it. I'll do it again today to see. Thanks for the reply.

No recovery

Hello Everybody,

I followed the instructions to restore my device however when my tf300t reboots I can't get the device into recovery mode. It will start up into android or if I hold the volume down during restart it says "platform pre os boot configuration cold booting linux". I download a ICS twrp img recovery file from here for the tf300t. "http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/tf300t"

My only options at this point are to enter APX mode or boot into android.

If somebody could help me install a recovery so I can use custom roms I would appreciate it!!!!!

Thanks,

Mike
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
Use nvflash again to flash only twrp.

or

Other options

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery twrp.blob

fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot

or if rooted

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 Then reboot to complete installation.

adb reboot

I use 2.5.0.0 twrp as I have problems with 2.6.0.0.
[Transformer TF300T General] waynestatemac:
Thanks tobdary for replying back. I tried other versions of the recovery but none seem to work. I can't do that fastboot method because I dont get the fastboot option when the I hold the volume down and power like I did when the tablet was bone stock. I can't get su access on the tablet because its not rooted anymore once I reinstalled the nvflash rom so I cant try and flash recovery that way either. I'm really stuck and not sure why this isn't working!

Thanks,

Mike
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I'm not sure either.

Try flashing stock recovery and recheck your bootloader menu for fastboot.
[Transformer TF300T General] waynestatemac:
Do you know where I can find the stock recovery? Is it something ziped in the original rom file?

I was able to root the tablet using a program that that uses a exploit while android is running. I then could adb through su access and flash different twrp recovery blob files to the tablet. Though the tablet rebooted and showed a blue line with recovery being installed when I restarted I have no options to load recovery, fastboot, or linux. I'm thinking the bootloader is corrupt. I own a tf201 and might have accidentally used one of the hairybean 2.3 (4.2) bootloader updates for that device on this one. Is there a way to get my bootloader back to the original and maybe that will fix it?

Thanks,

Mike
[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
The first thing you flash in this guide is the bootloader. nvflash --resume --download 4 blob.EBT

With nvflash you can flash only what is needed for your situation. If you feel the problem is the bootloader you can flash just that and try again.

What you describe sounds like stock recovery is still working on your tablet. If flashing the bootloader does not help I would use stock 9.4.3.30, unzip once and place the remaining zip on your internal sdcard. You may get an update notification. Accept it and let your tablet do the work. If you don't get the notification reboot your tablet and you should see it then. Doing this will write stock bootloader, recovery, etc.

Stock recovery is the blob.SOS when you blobunpack. Just use the stock 9.4.3.30 blob and use the resulting SOS (recovery.img).

Hello [MENTION=2559267]tobdaryl[/MENTION]

I have read your thread fully, but my case differs a little bit and need your advice:

I have unlocked ASUS TF300T.

I cant access FastBoot or ADB.

I can access the APX mode.

The ASUS shows only the ASUS logo when powered on.

I don't have BackUp of anything.

I have flashed everything from my ASUS, even the recovery. (I was novice):angel:

Any suggestions or advices please?

What should i do and from where shall i get the needed files, etc...

Thank you in advance.

[Transformer TF300T General] tobdaryl:
I have read your previous posts in addition to this one.

There are four vehicles to restore your tablet. (some things can be done within android but you have no access)

1. recovery - stock or twrp

2. fastboot

3. adb

4. nvflash

I notice you also posted in my guide for accessing adb, fastboot, and apx. You were unable to access fastboot, adb, or recovery with those methods.

I don't know of any way to recover through apx without nvflash previously installed and you have no access to the other three methods.

If your phone is galaxy mini you have to flash only roms for galaxy mini, if your phone is galaxy mini 2 then only for galaxy mini 2 because if your flash rom for galaxy mini 2 on galaxy mini and vice versa then you got bootloop or brick phone .

Now coming to this rom i dont know y but whenever i reboot to system it lag on the bootscreen n slow as compare to Stock JB. Walkman sometimes doesnt work at all and I liked the feature of Google Now but you have removed it so i have to installed it again but its not a big concern. Finally i wanna say that i vl stick to your ZhaoLightV5 untill I got a better update on JB. Thanks for your hard work and I know Its not an easy task to make such ROM's.
