[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] deamonoid:
There is one problem with my phone which i have never experienced is that my sony mobile stopped charging with the original Sony charger which came with my phone but it can be charged easily with the aftermarket charger.

The problem is that the aftermarket charger output current is higher than the original charger. And I cannot even charge with the USB port of my laptop, the mobile shows notification of charging and even led lights up but the battery level goes down, but working perfectly with aftermarket charger. On examining, I found out that it can easily get charge with USB port that delivers high power (which is usually at the back of the CPU). After changing USB cable still not charging.

My phone is 1.5 years old, I don't know that it's the fault of my charger or the battery is acting wierd.

The other details are as follow

Sony live with Walkman

Legacy xperia rom JB 4.2.2

3.4.5 kernel

Bootloader unlocked
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] karthi1:
maybe the problem with the cable ....... you should be happy that your charger worked for 1.5 years... for me and my friends , our original charger didnt even last for 6 months :P

we use aftermarket charger... :D
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] deamonoid:
Actually it was not the cable, it was charger, and I think battery is also going to die soon.

Thanks for guiding me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timg11:
I read some interesting threads here from the early days of the Nexus S (Jan 2011) about rooting techniques that prevented data wipe, but they are for Gingerbread since that's what was available back then. My NS i9020T is running Jelly Bean 4.1.2. It is stock, unrooted. I need to root so I can run LagFix, but I'm looking for a way to do it without wiping everything.

Question 1: Is there any rooting technique for the NS with JB 4.1.2 that preserves data?

Question 2: If Q1 is "no", then is there any backup technique that backs up "everything"? I have explored the ADB backup technique described here, but I'm not sure it works for the Nexus S. I'm running that backup now, but it is very slow (about 1Mbyte/second), so I'm wondering whether it is working correctly.

Did you get any benefit of LagFix on your device? I rooted my device y'day for this reason and don't see any difference in AndroBench performance. Of course, factory reset itself speeded up my phone a bit.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astronomynerd:
Hey everyone. The other day, I was installing a custom ROM and was also trying to unlock my Galaxy SIII. After both, Airplane mode somehow locked on... I did a factory reset - didn't help. I also reinstalled the stock image - didn't help. I tried several tar recovery files - didn't work or help. I tried everything! I can disable airplane mode in settings but my device simply displays a circle with a cross through it instead of the signal meter in the notification bar. It also doesn't detect SIM cards now... I don't know what is wrong. Help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!! :):):)

Thanks for your answers in advance! :)

Can anyone help ?

I have just bought one of the XDA2i's and I am having problems with the Bluetooth Version 1.0.0.3900, For some reason the XDA will "pair" with the devices I am trying to use but will not "connect".

I have tried to use 2 devices both of which work correctly with my old Nokia, one being a Nokia Bluetooth handsfree and the other being a Parrot Bluetooth in car hands free kit.

When trying to connect the devices the XDA states "there are no useable services on the devices I am trying to connect"

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong ?

I had the same thing with my BT GPS unit. I found a soft reset fixed it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariq2k:
HI, so recently i brought a galaxy s gt i9000. I wanted to flash a custom rom so I install cwm and now have root access. problem is whenever i try to install a custom rom it shows the bar for installation in CWM and then goes to the custom rom logo. It does nothing else whatsoever after that. I need to take out my battery and restore my backup in order to get my phone working again from a bootloop. i tried putting the rom in both my external sd card and the phone itself. Also before installing i wiped the dalvik cache etc. Can someone please help, i've tried multiple roms so its obviously my phone. thanks

details:

Running JW4 firmware

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheikh.hamzee@gmail.com:
i9000 stucks in logo because your phone is not acessing internel memory...i have also got this problem..i dont have any solution..one thing u can do is that take your phone in download mode for 2 to 3 minutes approximately and then again on your phone ...this will work...But this problem comes again when u shutdown your mobile..another method is to take your i9000 in download mode and connect to computer and then download dbdata.rfs file put in odin in pda and apply ...these two processess will definately work fine to acess your internal memory
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Just a few questions regarding how you installed the rom.

1.) What rom, first of all?

2.) After rooting 2.3.6 and trying to flash through recovery, did the phone skip to the kernel screen before continuously bootlooping?

3.) Did you try pulling your battery, then putting it back in, entering recovery and flashing the same rom again?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariq2k:
1)i tried flashing cyan AOSP and slim bean roms

2)no the phone simply went to the galaxy s i900 screen and kept rebooting

3?yes i have tried that with no success
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ariq2k:
The problem i have is that the rom doesnt even install. Also if the phone can't access my internal memory then how can it find the rom? thanks

+1 for this post this is what have been waiting to see i'm tired of the low internal storage i need to swap it to external 32gig mmc kudos to the poster hopes it works with stock 4.1.2 jellybean
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
I think it could be done. Just take a look at the partition table or PIT file...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
I made the update.zip for neatrom, I think it should also work on stock. But with no-internal-ums-samsung.zip it will get rid of internal storage and make external storage as primary.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mathy007:
One more thing must i factory reset the phone because I've already installed apps and games in it,or i just flash the update.zip
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
I suggest to

1) backup your internal sd, as you'll loose everything

2) backup your pit with heimdall

3) backup with cwm or twrp

4) upload new pit with repartition flag

5) format data and restore backup

6) flash no-internal-ums-samsung.zip

If anything goes wrong you can restore your original pit, but beware that if you make changes to crucial partitions you can brick your phone, if you use my pit file, i suggest tolook if oother partitions remain unchanged.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mathy007:
thanks I'll keep that in mind
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
Would this approach be useful for the galaxy s4? With the Google experience rom available there is tonnes of wasted space in the system partition.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
I think it should also work on the s4 as it hase the pit partition and gpt i think, you have to experiment a bit... But if you flash the google experience rom with odin the size mismatch of the partition and the image file can be a problem, you have to find a solution for this, like extracting the files and make an update.zip.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
Yeah everyone is using a CWM install zip but many people would love to reclaim that wasted space. Google ROM is 500Mb sitting in a 2.5GB system partition!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
So I've made people over on the S4 forum aware of your awesome information. Hopefully some devs more experienced than me will adapt the concept.

Question: the S2 has a separate FAT partition for the SDcard. The S3 and 4 have a single partition for data/sdcard with the SD card being an emulated folder of dynamic size.

Ideally we will need to shrink the system partition and maybe preload and reallocate this to data.

Is this possible with your method?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
I believe your idea should work, you just have to make a valid pit file with pit magic, repartition, format the affected partitions and reflash.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rlorange:
Thanks for the reply. It seems the PIT on the S4 is locked down preventing custom pit files from working...

However one user has successfully used a utility called parted to resize the existing partitions via adb I believe
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
It's fine if you dont need odin. Take a look here to get you started: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1887864

Make sure to have a backup of your partitions before modifying (inside parted: unit s; print)

After double wipe my I9100 16GB, I have uploaded "small-ums_I9100_16GB.pit" to my phone with odin. Then I apply "no-internal-ums-samsung.zip" via update from external storage with message "E:signature verification failed".

Ongoing Message: Blank USB storage - USB storage is blank or has unsupported filesystem.

Hi mtpi, I just want to confirm that your tutorial is working for me. Thank you.

Hi PDAlama, I tried your zip file and also got "E:signature verification failed". Could you give me some advice.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angelomaldito:
Great tutorial, extremely useful!

But which version of heimdall did you use? I tried with the latest version of heimdall (1.4.0), but it didn't accept to flash only the pit file, nor the pit + kernel. Should I flash a full heimdall package?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angelomaldito:
It seems that his .zip file contains only a .pit file inside, it's not an installer like those on the OP.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] plapic:
Just re-partition.

I'm trying to figure out why you say that

and then go on to say

I thought this guide was simply to repartition the DATAFS/UMS. What is the point of the repartition if you then go ahead and swap the internal partition with the external sd card?

What I would like to know is can you just perform the repartition steps using the PIT Magic utility then upload via ODIN. And if so what happens to the existing files in both partitions when the new pit is uploaded? Do they get wiped? Do you have to reformat both partitions after the upload? Can you copy the files from both partitions as a backup and then copy the files back after the new pit upload assuming that my phone is rooted?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Wop2k:
In my understanding you repartition leaving 50MB as internal SD card. You can then hide the 50MB partition and tell the phone to treat the external sd card as the only sd card available. Leaving you with large internal Memory and an external sd card with the size of your Physical sd card in exchange to your internal sd card

I think the System partition should just become bigger. no need to format. internal sd card will be wiped. Undoing everything should also be no problem.

[MENTION=3149705]mtpi[/MENTION]

Can i flash your Pit file with small ums via odin and then the zip for CM10.1 via CWM to basically achive the following:

* no visible internal sd card

* external sd card is the only one available

Will this result in problems when:

* removing the sd card

* Installing CM 10.2 or CM11

Great tutorial btw :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] smirciat:
I would be interested to hear if you try this and what your results are.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] plapic:
EFS Backup?

OK that makes sense. When you say

do you mean both DATAFS & UMS partitions will get wiped? So does this mean total apps reinstall?

I also read on other posts that you need to perform a EFS backup otherwise you lose it after uploading updated pit. Is this the case?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Wop2k:
My understanding is that you will only loose data on the ums partition. I hope that Op can confirm this.

Always back up the EFS partition. Mine got lost before I even rooted the phone. Now I'm stuck with manufacturer imei...

Losing Apps

If most of my apps have been moved to SD Card i.e. UMS already as this has been the method I've been using to free up my Storage Device ie DATAFS and I want to increase my DATAFS partition by taking some from my UMS I would have thought that those apps that reside within the area that would be used for my DATAFS would be lost and perhaps the rest of the apps too for that matter.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
I didn't loose the EFS partition with this method, but a backup is always a good idea :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mtpi:
I'm using this method with cm 10.2, just removed both preload and ums partitions and added this in /system/build.prop (in order to make the external sd the main storage).

persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1
ro.vold.switchablepair=/storage/sdcard0,/storage/sdcard1

No need for updates zip, just repartition and edit build.prop ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mouki_9:
Any way to make this work with cm11?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Wop2k:
Is it necessary to reflash CM after repartitioning?

[MENTION=1330661]mouki_9[/MENTION]

CM11 most likely already works.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mouki_9:
So the steps are as follows: 1.backup 2. Edit build.prop 3. Upload small ums pit 4.reboot. after that I will have 16 (more likely 13Gb) as internal storage instead of the 2gb?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mouki_9:
Does not work for cm11. Got the 13gb partition, but cannot get the ext sd to work like internal sd. Android keeps saying blank sd card not supported. Cannot install apps that store data on sdcard, most of the games.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] theCroh:
And there's no need to format anything if you don't want to leave any space for UMS?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mouki_9:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cowbutt:
I've almost got this all working on my i9100 which I upgraded from stock LSY to CM 10.1.3.

I had to use heimdall 1.3.1 to flash the small-ums .pit as 1.4rc1 was complaining "ERROR: Partition name for "pit" could not be located". That overcome, I reformatted /data and was pleased to see it was the correct (enlarged) size. I set to work on swapping the internal UMS partition for the real, removeable, SD card.

I was able to edit /system/etc/vold.fstab correctly, but when I followed the instructions to remount /system rw, adb pull, apktool d, edit res/xml/storage_list.xml, apktool b, adb push, remount /system ro, my i9100 immediately went to the blue CyanogenMod spinner that shows during boot.

I was able to get things back working by clearing the cache and restoring my backups of framework-res.apk and vold.fstab, but I'd like to get this working again properly. I don't want to use CM 10.2 where there's a swap option in build.prop, and framework-res.apk in 10.1.3 appears to have changed since the one included in the 10.1 update.zip the OP has attached to the first post.

EDIT: Solved - looks like I like making life difficult for myself. :) The method given for CM 10.2 also works with CM 10.1.3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Hurrian:
Shouldn't this be done better by setting the internal storage as Emulated SD (Emulated Primary, physical secondary - the way everything else does it!)

With that, both storages can be accessed via PC.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrainOfSweden:
I got the same problem, partitioning works fine, but editing build.prop does nothing, and now I'm a stuck with a tiny internal SD card. Well, I could always re-partition, but I want that large app partition. They must have changed something in CM11 so that this doesn't work anymore, but what?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cowbutt:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BrainOfSweden:
Thanks for the info. Guess I'll just avoid large apps or make the internal SD slightly bigger until it's resolve. Unless there is another way to do it in CM11/KK, but I have not found a working solution yet. Why can't we just have a simple fstab? :(

I will try to enable it in the recovery,but i am not sure if that will work. with a small modification from my signature. now i am using stock JB 4.1.2 from Orange Romania
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cowbutt:
Enlarging the /data partition takes space from the internal memory, so it'll only be 50KB or so now. /data doesn't show up via USB Mass Storage, MTP or PTP.

If you want internal memory that shows up on your laptop, you'll need to make /data smaller, UMS bigger and perform a factory reset to format them both.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LupulAlb611:
Can you tell me how ? I didn't modified those files,but if someone else tell me the general idea, i will do it. i have to be cautious with what i am doing,because i don't want to brick the phone. Thank you all for the thread and help.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LupulAlb611:
Thank you for the info. One more thing,is there a way to definetely eliminate /data from the pit file in order to actually have a ~13 Gb storage memory that can be seen by a computer ? I mean to move all the internal memory to UMS ( visible memory ) instead of /data. But i presume this might brick your phone. I am willing to test this if there is a certain posibility to do it.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cowbutt:
/data is where downloaded apps and data for both downloaded and built-in apps (e.g. dialer, messaging, launcher) is stored. So if you assigned all internal memory to UMS, unless you can arrange for some space to be mounted under /data, I doubt such a device would even boot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LupulAlb611:
I managed to "play" with the internal storage and now i have 9 gigs in the device storage and the rest of 4 to internal sd. In my opinion an update to Android ( 4.0+ ) should erase those 2 partition ****. I read that Gingerbread and earlier version of Android where having these partitioning system,but from ICS and Jelly Bean is no longer required. Thank you once again for the info. Now my phone is truly complete.
