For that go to twrp>advanced>partition sd card.

Partition your sd card as ext4.

If that doesn't work, it's possible that your sd card is permanently damaged.

It didnt work Im pretty sure its because od vold file in system because it worked when I just restored sdcard backup. Should I try Aparted and btw is there a way to get new vold file ???
[General Questions and Answers] Ssssss8622:
Give aparted a try

And you cannot get vold file that easily

I have used aparted many times and it's safe
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Nah not working, okay got any other suggestions to get my sd car back?

Anyone got vold file or other solutions for damaged SD card, I dont have SD card reader sadly, so I cant fix it on PC.

Will card work in other devices?

I also think the problem might be with patch that I installed earlier, adoptable optional storage, because TWRP read it like that when I went to wipe it, so It could be that card got stuck in Internal memory as it got damaged.

[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I know it could be drastic but by formatting data this could be solved, take a backup of your apps (just apks not data nor permissions) with Migrate then wipe all and format data and flash again the rom. About your version is not too old, maybe one month. I ever use a custom rom base on Miui if I want to stay it stockish like Mi Globe if available for your model; it has better battery performance.

It could be that the above doesn´t solve your issue but it will serve to give you a clue and discard that the issue is not related to the software.

Then you´ll have to consider that despite your battery is new it couldn´t be an OEM replacement so you can expect this kind of things assuming that you made the three-four cycles of charge to get it ready and 100% healthy (at its own capacity).

Alright! I haven't seen the lock option anywhere, but I'll look for it. Too bad it's only fingerprint...

And about the logging, I actually saw that. But (unless I checked it wrongly) the Magisk's SuperUser logging option is really poorly developed compared to SuperSU. It is only possible to see which process was called what they invoked (always /bin/sh obviously), not the commands they passed.

That's why I was wondering if there was a workaround, a module or sonething that could do it better than Magisk

I tried reformatting my phone and even charged from 0% to 100% and it only improved a little. I also tried deleting some bloatware and freezing some apps through sd maid and using greenify on some ups it only improves a little. What could be the problem?btw thanks again dude.

Android system uses 25%-35%

Idle uses 2-7%

Screen 30%

android 12.3%
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Well, battery performance is a thing but a defective battery another thing.

To improve battery performance there are many tips out there like don´t use adaptive screen in places where you don´t have visual interferences, switch off mobile data while you´re using wifi and vice versa and many like this.

Also you can ask and look up for the best battery friendly rom in your large community, when I used a Xiaomi device the better rom for battery was Syberia also RR 9.0 Pie version brings many improvements. and on Miui like I said before Mi Globe 8.1.

The screen usage is highly according your SS maybe you can calibrate it.

Also you can use a kernel tweaker like Kernel Adiutor and find the best values for battery performance.

I bought the battery at miui 9 and it was good then it was updated to 10.3 8.12.27 beta and there were so many bugs. Someone i know suggested that i switch to global stable and if the battery fluctuates thats when i can say that the battery is defective. Is that true?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
I used 8.12.27 in other different device (R5+) than yours but the stable one not the beta and no bugs at all.

Go again to a global stable and wait that this version be ready for daily use, I used betas version just to see what changed but ever came back soon to a stable one.

Despite all said you will find that a custom rom based on miui like the mentioned or eu rom will be better so they're developed over the chinese firmware; debloated and improved.

[General Questions and Answers] nighthawk658:
Hello all

thanks for your input on the issue with this phone sadly till now no luck

since my last message i have been doing some research about flashing the stock Rom to it but its leading me to some questions

first question is on some of the research on how to flash a stock Rom it states that the battery must be charged to at least 50% to 80% obviously in my case i cannot charge the phone or at least cannot be sure how much juice it has in the battery... on the other hand within the same articles it is stating that during the process getting phone ready for flashing it says battery must be removed ( as for this asus its a built in battery and even if i remove it the phone wont be seen by laptop ) so the question i must ask is what is the score with this and is it important for battery to be charged to a point

question 2. since i am unable to fire up the phone and check the about phone for software / firmware versions how do i go about getting the right version for this phone - as seen on the Asus website they have about 3 or 4 different versions for the same phone i believe depending on country

question 3.. how do i know what the correct chipset is again on this model phone seems to have at least 3 different numbers i believe they are MK6737M and MK7637T and when connected to Laptop it displays in device manager as a MK i think as a 65xx as mentioned in a past post

also i have done some playing around on SPflash tools nothing that will kill the phone but just trying a readback and following the instructions given the phone seems to respond to the SPflash tool tho after 10 seconds comes back with an error ( sorry cannot remember the error ) tho i think it might be due to the wrong scatter.txt file

i have already sent email to Asus tho who knows how long they will take to respond but as i think my last option is to flash the phone i would like to know if anyone can point me in the right direction for the correct firmware / software / Rom. for Asus Philippines phones

one last question would it harm the battery and or phone if i jump a couple of wires on the battery terminals for maybe about 10 minutes using an old USB cable and wall charger as i suspect that is what the technician did to get it to fire up before... the goal is to get information from the phone back up any data and attempt a factory reset to see if it will resolve the charging problem

many thanks all

Touch emulation keymapper issue / not possible?

Dear xda members, I dont know if Im on the right plce here, but I hope so.

I have found an issue and dont know how to fix this.

Its about touch emulation for gamepads.

First of all I have an Gamepad called Mocute 058

with a left side Dpad. (it a half side gamepad)

I tried multiple apps like tincore ore gamepad mapper. The problem is, Every time I press a button or move dpad and use my right tumb on the screen they block each other, like there is no multi touch anymore. What does cause this? its on all apps the same. Even with xposed edge ( key to gesture ).

Pressing a button and touch the screen does absoloutly not work on android. Tried 3 phones.

Please help :((((

I would like to figure out how to solve this problem with multi touch from gamepad via touchemulation and tumbpressing /using , at the same time.

**** me , I think the SD card is good its just that I ****ed vold file, can I get it somewhere???

Or somehow to edit it? What happens if I delete it, is there no way to regenerate android system files? What about systemless with Magisk? Flashing custom ROM?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Nothing better than an old Nokia to format your sdcard tough.

Vold is used to let readable external/internal sdcard to your android system but it could be not enough for what you are trying on.

Unpack your stock system image and get them inside system/bin vold and sdcard files and copy them in the same directory in your new rom, give permissions and reboot but you could need modify an xml file in system/etc/permission storage (or something similar I don´t remember exactly) and also in the ramdisk directory; fstab, ueventd maybe default.prop.

is your sdcard is defective and has some cluster damaged nothing of this will solve your issue.
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
Nah, Im pretty sure its about vold, since this app I tried made two backups 1.sdcard 2.vold, when I restored only sdcard it was all good but from some reason I decided to restore vold too and it ****ed up my card. Btw. Im on Stock ROM so I was thinkin if I flash new ROM will it replace system files or make systemless with Magisk? Also link/guide for unpacking system image?
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
What exactly is the issue; your sdcard is not detected in android or by your pc? if is the second while is inserted in your device connected to a pc then you can format it with another device, this worked a lot of times for me by i.e an sdcard not recogniced in a Blu formated in a Xiaomi or Samsung and then inserted in a Blu again and was recogniced now.

sdcard and vold are files not apps.

Here you have a tool to unpack system and boot images https://www.teamandroid.com/2017/07/16/download-mtk-img-extractor/ you will need to have installed Java and Python onto your pc as well.

by installing a new rom this will replace all your system files, maybe an update can solve this.

Sadly i just spent all my money on this new battery btw thank you
[General Questions and Answers] YiNiX:
The issue is I damaged the sd card by wrong coding most likely, here brief explanation, I used optional adoptable storage before and screwed around with card but that was not the issue. The issue is now when I tried installing Folder Mount Root it patched sdcard and vold - FILES and made backup in case it didnt work. It didnt for me so I pulled back sdcard backup but as I did same with vold it screwed the card and it still stays damaged in my phone even after formatting it on PC few times. I think the only solutions are : factory reset ( if it restores system files ) and flashing custom ROM or having someone give me vold from stock ROM. Didnt test SD card in other devices yet. It is detected in sd card reader (after cleaning and partioning disk) but not on phone or via USB on phone too as it sits there damaged.

Sorry for long post.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
Unfortunately it looks like this is the case.

Like a last and conclusive resort try the next:

Delete through fastboot system, boot, userdata and cache partitions and then flash a miui 9.0 firmware through MiFlash Tool.

And if the result is the same atleast leave a negative feedback on the seller site.

---------- Post added at 02:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 AM ----------

You could try formatting it with Yummy and if is possible flash some Linux distro and boot it onto your pc like a live cd/usb, reboot again. If this doesn´t solve the issue only some forensic tool that made a format at low level could help you.

I´m not sure if installing a custom rom could solve this, most likely reinstalling your stock rom does it. Try first just formatting data (take a backup before)

Yeah you have to ask rom devs to fix that problem. The members here are not interested in the rom so they won't fix it, that is if they can fix it. The devs in that rom are doing a project aim at making it bug free so only they could help. Hope you understand, the devs here don't know how they modified the code and so they have to check it thoroughly, which is really tiresome.

Switching S7 from Sprint to T-mobile

So I am looking to leave sprint, take my S7's that myself and wife own now and go to T-Mobile. I get that I have to have spring domestically unlock the phones. But my question is I am reading varying things about how well my phone (SM-G930P, Software version:G930PVPS8CSA1, hardware version: Rev0.6) will work on T-Mobile after switching.

Did see one thing on reddit (sorry don't have link right now) saying that you needed to change the firmware from sprint to t-mobile or you will have issues. So my question is basically, do I have to do that. I am very tech savy, but I have never rooted a phone before. If it's a fairly straightforward process and not high risk I certain will do it if needed. But like I said, just how necessary is it to do that? Has anyone else done so here (I'm sure) and if so is there tutorial someone can point me at?

Link bruh. If you dont mind searching for it.
[General Questions and Answers] SubwayChamp:
The S7s flat devices US variant are all identical hardware-wise so....

If your device is actually carrier unlocked you can switch to any other carrier and it will work but you could need to flash the Tmobile carrier firmware to get all the carrier services like Wifi calling, Visual VoiceMail, VoLTE and others if available and the bloat. This can be achieved by flashing just CSC file not CSC_HOME so you´ll need to wipe your actual CSC. On the bloat if available you can flash USERDATA file too.

It sometimes could happen that a carrier block some band that actually not working with and if you have some issue and just flashing CSC and USERDATA is not enough then do the next:

Take a backup of your important stuff with Smart Switch (you can also do it onto your device using an external sdcard), then go to recovery and factory reset, then reboot to bootloader (download mode) from the same recovery and in Odin flash the carrier firmware selecting all the boxes.

Don't spoonfeed, help them find or understand what they need, but don't do all the thinking and searching for them. It is more important to teach members HOW to find what they need than it is to just hand them everything they are looking for. They don't really learn anything that way, it can actually make them less afraid of causing potential issues because they believe someone will fix their problem for them.

If you don't teach them how to find stuff, that just makes them come here every time they have an issue expecting someone to find what they need for them. Spoonfeeding members creates lazy members or members that get themselves into more problems because they have gotten comfortable with someone finding their answers for them.
