[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vishesh:
Firstly if u have cm recovery installed.. Go to recovery, wipe data, cache n delvk cache, format Sd card n format system as well.. Then reboot the device.. If tab fails to boot, relax, go to download mode by pressing volume down key + power key, then volume up key to go into download mode n simply flash stock rom through odin.... Secondly.. Jus flash stock rom through odin.. If tab stuck at boot animation.. Go to recovery on the spot by pressing volume up key + power key.. N simply wipe data/factory reset.. Dats it..

No reason to wipe before flashing stock via Odin because it resets EVERYTHING in the process.

The phone probably does not allow sound to go through hdmi and rca jack at the same time, but I'm not sure.

can you please explain how to do it step-by-step as my screen has broken :S or how to back up to a computer..?

Thanks heaps
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
the normal way to back up contacts or pim data to the pc would be: sync it!, put it in the cradle, set up a partnership, then all your pim data (except sms) will end up in your outlook and can be synced with any other device (replacement i guess). another way would be pim backup. but exactly how broken is your display, because your suggestion to back up on the device itself would require, that you at least see something!?

to get to the step by step part (in case your display shows information, but is maybe without touch function):

1. go to this site and download mymobiler (to control your device from your pc): http://www.mymobiler.com/

2. install it to the pc, it will install on the ppc automatically, once connected to the pc

3. if that worked, you should be able to see the device's screen on the pc and control the device with mouse and keyboard, so avoiding your screen problem

4. to the actual backup: go to http://www.dotfred.net/ and download pim backup 2.8 for your os, either the wm2003 or the "wm5 and up" version

5. unzip the package

6. copy the exe to your device

7. start it using mymobiler

8. choose data to back up, in your case the contacts (and maybe a little more)

9. pick the location, where to put the backup file

10. start the backup.

11. once it's done access that location and copy the backup file to your pc

12. through your broken device out of the window ;)

13. take a new device, connect that to the pc, copy the pimbackup exe and the backup file onto it

14. start pim backup, pick restore, pick your backup file and hit start

15. as soon as it's done, your contacts, mail, calendar, whatever you picked to back up in the first place is restored to another device and possibly another os

if you don't have a new device yet, maybe you should think about just syncing the device with outlook, because your pim backup file will not import into other devices (non-windows mobile devices) or outlook or anywhere, you can only use it on winmo devices, while outlook pim data can be synced with nearly every brand of mobile phone, in case you pick another kind of phone as a replacement for your device.

in case you also want to know how to repair your device or where to get spare parts and so on, please re-post. for your one line i already sat here for 20 minutes writing a novel of things you maybe don't even wanna know ;)

have fun, good luck, re-post

So I updated to ICS v30a using KDZ from LG. Then I tried to root it with "Root with Restore by Bin4ry" but it didn't work so I had no choice but to flash wkpark's boot with TWRP. The bootloader and recovery flashed just fine, but when I try to boot to ICS, I was given with a black screen after the silver LG logo. So I went to TWRP and wiped System and Data then installed the CM10 WalkmanROM. I got into CM10 just fine. I connected to WiFi and downloaded a nightly update for CM10. When it finished downloading, a popup said if I want to update now and reboot to recovery. I said yes to the popup. Then my O3D shuts down and doesn't boot again. I removed the battery and reinserted it then went to TWRP, I tried to flash the CM10 update manually and it said it Failed to flash. I looked at log, it said failed to mount /system. So I rebooted and went on with normal boot, thinking that WalkmanROM still works. Instead of getting to WalkmanROM, it went to TWRP. I rebooted again and the same thing happened. So I went again and flash wkpark's boot but instead of TWRP, I tried CWM. But my O3D doesn't get to fastboot, it just gives a black screen. I tried to go to fastboot manually, but instead, just gives me the silver LG logo.

Please I need urgent help. I use my O3D for a school project.

[LG Optimus 3D] maikeru-chan:
Never mind.

Thanks for your help, but I already solved it before you replied. :)

I figured out why I wasn't booting to fastboot. I didn't disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, that's why it just gives me a black screen. I was using wkpark's boot, I just used fastboot to reflash the original GB bootloader using OS_Hacking's tool and just downgraded to v21e using SmartFlash and BOOTV21E.rar. Everything is fixed now. The system partition is now mountable again. I may seem like a noob, but I have had too many softbricks with my O3D ever since I got it as a gift, so there are times that I can do this on my own. There are times where I panic too much and post on xda for support but then before I got a response I already fixed it. Like this thread here: [urlhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2197660[/url]

Hi,

I've tried to switch the original vold.fstab with the new one using ES file explorer. It says error read only file. Weird, seems it's not accepting the fact that i want to replace it even if rooted.

Any suggestions?

[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Not true...
[Micromax A110] Amrittiwarie:
Oh..

then what may b the reason to swap the storages....can u plz provide us/me ny advantages of it...
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Our canvas 2 has some 500mb Phone storage & 2 GB Internal SD Card! As a result there is not much space on the phone so you can't store many apps on it! What we ideally do is, re-partition the phone memory and make change it to : Phone Storage: 2.5GB & leave just about 50mb for Internal SD Card.. Now you don't want to have an internal sd card with just 50mb, so we swap it with the external sd card.. ;)
[Micromax A110] Amrittiwarie:
thnks 4r ur valualable information...

i have swaped internal n external sd card by just replacing sdcard by sdcard2 n reverse in volds.fstab file...but recovery mode is not mounting ext-sd.' ny sugestion???

Also as u mentioned above that we can re partition internal storage,....after swaping we have heavy internal sd , so can we repartion and increase our internal(phone) storage to several gb's......?

Plz share as soon as posible,

ur sugesations r really appreciable...thanks
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
No Thanks button pressing, no reply! :P

But the short answer is, You can't re-partition ur External SD card to increase the phone Internal storage!
[Micromax A110] Amrittiwarie:
i pressed the buttun...r u happy nw dude...:)

but after swaping the external sd acts as internal sd, isn't it?.....hope u wil reply...:)
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Yes after swapping the Ext SD will function as your Internal SD card..

What you need to understand is that when you re-partition, you change the size of different drives on the SAME card! Now the Phone's Internal Storage & Internal SD card are on the same card, so they can be re-partitioned to change their sizes, but External SD card is a different CARD..

And besides, 2.5GB of Internal Storage is more than enough as most of the app data will be stored on SD card which you can SWAP to increase.. ;)
[Micromax A110] Amrittiwarie:
thanks dude you made it clear..

here my canvas 2 has internal storage of 1.48 Gb and internal sd card of 1.05 Gb, ....

Also m excited seeing ur screen shot of storage...attracting font, can u guide?

If u using canvas 2 n swaped storage plz provide the modified vold.fstab file....

Nyway thnks for ur solutions til now.......
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Glad to hear that.. What i'm using is a custom ROM called SUVI v12. All custom ROMs have this SD card swapped by default.. As for the Font, it's called RosemaryFont, should be available in the Apps & Themes section.

So what you are suggesting is to replace my current vold.fstab to this vold.fstab and it should do the trick?

I think my big mistake here... I was under the impressions that it would work on a Samsung Galaxy Ace II e... It won't work right?

Should I just do a factory reset, should this restore to original and give my original vold.fstab?
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Wait a min!!! Which phone r u using?? Ofcourse this file is diff for Samsung ace!!
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Doing a factory reset will not restore this file if you have modified it, as it is a system file! You will have to get this file and restore it manually! So first things first, tell clearly which phone you are using?

Thank you very much for your time..
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
First things first, you need to start hitting THANKS! :p

Then i would need the current vold.fstab file from your phone.. Also a screen shot of the Settings->Storage page.
[Micromax A110] Dran-O:
Hi,

This is the zip file that I used. The vold.fstab is in the file. Sorry for an unknown reason, it doesnt let me just give you the vold.fstab.

As for a print screen of my storage :crying: i cant it forces close everytime I try to access the storage.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
I can't directly provide a flashable zip file for your phone as i don't know about the partitions, so i can only guide you on what to do.

The zip file you gave has an extra vold.fstab file, which to me looks like the backup. So you can try restoring that to your phone. To do that first you need to install Root Explorer app or any File explorer that allows you to modify system storage.

Then download the zip file attached here, unzip it and copy it to you phone. Then using Root Explorer go to System->etc and mount it as r/w and then paste this new vold.fstab file there.

Then reboot and check... :good:
[Micromax A110] Dran-O:
Hi,

Switch the vold.fstab with the one you provided. Same issue unfortunately... I'm starting to think my problem is irreversible.

Here are the error message at start-up:

Unfortunately, factory test has stopped

Unfortunately, mtp application has stopped

Unfortunately, internet has stopped

Unfortunately, process android.process.media has stopped

Unfortunately, my files has stopped.

Now, I'll like to point out that everything works on the phone besides having access to storage and sdcard.

Internet works, emails, phone, text, apps...

Only thing not working is the storage access, so this mean music player doesnt work since music on sdcard and camera doesnt work also.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
You need to flash the Stock Rom on ur phone! It will then restore all the files..
[Micromax A110] deeplyyoung:
Bro, one more thing pls confirm that before flashing this, do we need to wipe all data or data will remain as it is & we can flash the same without any harm??

also note that i'm using [ROM] [4.2.2] SGalaxy CHD V4.3...

[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Guy's please understand that the file I have provided is meant for Micromax A110 and not for other phones! It may or may not work on other phones depending on the partition structure. If you need a file for your phone which is not A110, please provide me your vold.fstab file(System->etc) from your phone and i will send you the modified one as a flashable zip.. ;) :good:
[Micromax A110] deeplyyoung:
Sorry Bro, here u go my vold.fstab

Also note that my default memory is ex sd card 32 gb san disk class 10...

Hope I don't need to wipe data or loose my data
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Hey, Your SD Cards are already swapped.. What exactly do you want to do now? Are you trying to do this on some other phone?

btw when flashing this file, you do not need to wipe anything... ;)
[Micromax A110] deeplyyoung:
Bro maybe my way of explaining was wrong find SS for yr ref... see my memory status n advise.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
As I said before, your SD cards are already swapped.. Are you worried about your Internal Storage getting full which is 1GB right now??

If so, then what you need to do is a completely different thing.. You need to RE-Partition your phone memory! If this is what you need let me know I can post the procedure..
[Micromax A110] deeplyyoung:
Correct m worried about phone memory as low as 1 GB & need help for the same.

do u mean THIS Procedure???
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
Exactly... That's the process.. Since you have already swapped your External SD Card as Internal SD Card, you don't need an INternal Card, so just repartition your phone memory and make it 2.5GB and reduce the Internal card to 273mb as posted in that thread.. ;) Make your Internal Card as less as possible to get max Phone memory, but do keep it above 50mb!

All the best, read everythign carefully there! it's a simple process and this will make you loose all your phone data, but you can save it by making backup of all your apps using Titanium Backup app.

p.s. as mentioned there:
[Micromax A110] deeplyyoung:
Tnks Bro, have tried this once before but got some errors, well i think not to go for 2.5 GB as after that Internal Card remains only 273 Mb & i didn't remember but i got some issues that internal card memory is low...... well Tnks for your valuable time... will try & let u know....:good::good:

EDIT: Bro: just temme one more thing, if i choose 2.5 GB Phone Memory, do I face any issues??
[Micromax A110] Dran-O:
Ibshar!!!! I manage to fix my phone by myself. :) I wanted to thank you again for all the support you give to all junior members.

Now i do have a question.

I have a SD card symbol with an exclamation mark on my top screen.

When i drop down the list, the message is:

Blank SD card. Sd card is blank or has unsupported filesystem.

When I click on it, it ask me to do this:

Format SD card? All data on your card will be lost.

Should I format or not?

Thanks again
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
What exactly did u do that it started showing this msg?

But I'm sure if u allow it to format the sd card it will fix it although it will delete all data... So just copy all ur sd card data to computer and then Format...

And btw, that's what XDA is all about, helping each other out.. ;)
[Micromax A110] Dran-O:
I found a Vold.fstab on youtube. Which I was... why not try it and that one worked. Vold.fstab file in attachment.

Also as a precaution, I gave you the pictures of my phone.

The exclamation mark/sd card that you see on top of the screen is the message stating to format the card.

Obviously the swap between internal and sdcard isn't done, my sd card is 8gb (way enough for my usage). 1,34gb is the internal space.

I tried another sdcard that I had previously formatted on my PC before putting it in. With that one I'm still getting that message.

Also, without an SDcard in the phone, the message is still there ,but the Total Space in the storage (so the 1,34gb) is no longer shown.

Now could it be possible that the vold.fstab file that I used manage to switch my internal to sdcard, but in the same time still makes the real sdcard unavailable. So this mean if I do format the sdcard like its asking me to do, i'll actually wipe my system files?

I just don't want to screw my phone to a point to brick it.

Are you positive that by clicking on format, it will be okay?

Have a look at the attachment and tell me what you think.
[Micromax A110] ibshar:
First let me explain something. There is NO WAY you can brick your device by formatting the SD card, whether it's Internal OR External! You system files are stored in /system partition, which does not have a FORMAT option in your phone directly..

Now coming to your problem as to why you are getting the Format msg: Looking at your vold.fstab file, it seems the message is appearing because of this line in the file:

# external sdcard
{
ums_sys_path = /sys/class/android_usb/f_mass_storage/lun1/file
[COLOR="Red"][B]supported_exfat = disable[/B][/COLOR]
android_secure_containers = enable
}
dev_mount sdcard1 /storage/extSdCard 8 /devices/sdi2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 encryptable_nonremovable

Now to fix this you can either change this line to enable exfat support, OR just format the sd card from phone and it should work..

I'd say just format the SD card and see if it works then good otherwise just modify this line and replace teh vold.fstab file and check.. ;)
[Micromax A110] Dran-O:
Awesome, I'm learning so many things her,

Mmm I've tried both doesnt do anything.

When format:

SD card is currently being checked. And then same exclamation sdcard symbol on top asking me to format again.

Also, I changed disable to enable, restart phone. Still nothing.

It as to be something related to the vold.fstab, since if i start the phone without a sdcard, I still get the message.

And especially that I've tried another sdcard that was formatted on my PC prior to put it in the phone.

Any other advice?
