[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
I suspect ROM manager may have caused a problem, it's a known issue that that app is bad for Desire. Mounting the ext-ext may have screwed it up somewhere.

Uninstall it.

I would backup the FAT32 bit of the sd card to PC, delete all partitions and repartition using gparted again, just in case. You can go for 1.5-2GB if you really don't want to run out of space.

Then reflash the rom, follow the instructions to use A2SD, don't bother with S2E anymore.

Up to you, I would also consider going s-off as well, it's a lot more advantageous. You can then do things such as change hboot for smaller ROMs and have even more space for apps. You could also install 4EXT recovery (see my sig), and do the partitioning using that recovery too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagbel:
Thanks a lot

Thanks Eddiehk6 for your wonderful advice.

ROM manager - I can uninstall it.

I tried S-Off using Revolutionary but it somehow did not let me pass with the Beta key (invalid key)

I will try again.

Advice on SD ext size is useful. I shall do it.

S2E does not work with Jelly Bean anyway

I shall try 4ext recovery.

Thanks once again.

I will update this for future reference of someone like me:)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Yes, uninstall ROM manager. It's not all bad, just very bad with this phone, you don't need it.

As for the BETA key, just make sure you type it exactly, or copy / paste (but make sure you don't copy any leading or trailing spaces). Most likely you confused an i or 1 or L or O or 0 somewhere.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagbel:
Update

Dear Eddiehk6

Thanks for the response.

I successfully S-OFF

You were right I mistook 1 l and I characters while using Revolutionary beta key. Also, I was wrong in putting IMEI number instead of the Serial number. Funny enough SN comes in the black window of Revolutionary. :)

I also installed 4EXT recovery as I became S-OFF.

Partitioned as per the tutorial in this forum.

Flashed CM10.1 VJ version as per the instructions.

A2SD Termminal emulator again had problems with mounting of SD EXT !

I used Mount2SD

Init.d script was not installed - when I installed it, moved the apps, they disappeared. I could not find the Play services also !

Memory was still consumed. Apps were there but not seen.

I finally gave up at early hours of the morning and went back to CM7 reluctantly.

The log from S2E has a clue. I just don't know how to use that clue.

Have a look above at the orange log of S2E if you can and see if you understand please.

My search tells me that I should have some adb shell knowledge to solve it and I don't !

I am ok with old ROM. Help me if you can to make my Desire live longer.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
At least you're s-off now which is good :D

So how did you partition your sd card? I know you have 4EXT and it's easy to partition with that, but I would personally stick to gparted in this instance as you need to start from scratch, also you've used it before anyway?

Make sure you backup the sd card, then delete all partitions first (don't resize). Then make one FAT32 partition, and one (~1.5GB) ext4 partition, no swap.

Within 4EXT recovery there should be an option to check the partitions are aligned, do this (they should be if properly done in gparted, but worth a check)

Full wipe again, reflash rom just to be sure.

Try getting the terminal emulator commands working first, follow all instructions exactly. Don't use another app or script for now, start clean and get it working.

If you still get the error, /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 error, I think this may be related to a usb brick, not absolutely sure, there is 'USB unbrick' option within 4EXT as well, try that.

CM7 is still fine, just because it's 'old' doesn't make it bad, the Desire can still live long. Now that you're s-off you can even change hboot with that ROM and get more internal memory if you like, even more space for apps :D

I'm still on a GB ROM myself nothing wrong with it. Stable, battery is fine for me. Regardless you should still be able to get A2SD working.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagbel:
Update

Thanks Eddiehk6

I would try all that you told me.

I had used 4ext recovery as I was exited with the S-OFF and Change of recovery status of my phone.

I would try and do clean start again and see.

The link I was mentioning which involves adb shell knowledge is the message #4 in this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=848967

recurrent theme is e2fsck. I don't know how to use these codes: Terminal emulator / adb shell ? But I would try your method as I can do them.

I would also check alignment through the recovery.

Mildwild download link is broken. I would try for JB first and then if no luck, I would try GB. Its just that in my nexus7, I am used to JB.

CM7 is most stable I have seen ( i have used only one ROM so far :) I am quite happy with it too.

Thanks for all the support.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagbel:
Solved

Problem was with mounting ext 4 of my card

S2e could mount it

But s2e was not compatible with 10.1 of cyanogenmod

Hence I put 10 version

Used s2e to mount

It did not move apps

Used terminal emulator as per instructions by vj

All worked thanks all of you

How will effect wood and ... body on warming of device and durability ?!

[Moto X Q&A] LeJolly:
This wood isn't just some wood plank, it's treated so that it doesn't suck water in it or just crack and stuff, it will be the most durable material because plastic cracks and gets hotter easier and aluminium (if a model made of it will be made) stretches on impact and gets really hot

Well.... if you select "use only 3g" it will use only 3g, and if its not selected.. it will use the one that's available 3g or 2g, or is it that you want "only 2g" option ?

Try editing the system\etc\customization\settings\com\android\phone\custom_settings.xml

If you delete the lines in red, and reset your phone.. then you will get an option to choose :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
I edited it with ES File Explorer too.. but without any problem or error.

You can copy it with ES File Explorer to your sd-card, and then edit it on your pc with notepad++ and then get it back where it belongs on your phone.

OR... copy it(custom_settings.xml) on your sd card, just to have backup (not you will not need it ) and then delete the custom_settings.xml in etc/customization... /phone.

Don't be afraid to delete it :)

If you aren't rooted... :(

1. If you want to stay on 6.1.1.B.1.100 you have to root, and do what i said to get what you want :)

2. Or... flash ICS 6.1.1.B.1.54 and then you will get what you want without rooting :)

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Is what doing when what flashing and excluding... what? :)

Ok just kidding , i think i got your point :)

The settings that we are talking about are not in the kernel or baseband, so excluding those will do nothing to the "network mode selection".

Why dont you just ROOT YOUR PHONE ?

Worried for warranty so. But, planning to root ASAP and gonna try. Battery is draining fast in latest version and showing Android OS consuming more battery. [MENTION=5065706]pirej[/MENTION] can u suggest some tool to take compete phone backup include App. Data's
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pirej:
Read about this tool for backup without root, there are other one's too probably.

If you don't want to root.. just flash the b.1.54 firmware, and you will have the option to change 2g/3g without rooting.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloddyIrry:
Hello,

So, today alone, I've managed to restart my phone 3 times...

I think it's a huge fail to have the ability to enter the shutdown menu without unlocking.

Anyways... I've searched and read several threads/webpages, but cannot find a solution. I've rooted and edited some .kl files but to no avail, I've only managed to shut off the home key's ability to wake the phone (by altering the text row with "power"...huuuuh?).

So, basically, this is what I want:

Preferably: Disable the shut-down menu when the phone isn't unlocked.

Second choice: Disable the power button when locked.

Third choice: Disable the power button for wake-up.

Thanks in advance,

A smartphone noob (Well my old Sony wouldn't die....)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier666:
Flight attentands and hospital staff need a way to power down phones, even if the owner won't cooperate, and without looking up how to remove the battery covers for every phone type that may be brought in.

If the shutdown menu would be unavailable w/o unlocking the device would be banned from planes, which would be bad for business. So the only way to do it is with unofficial mods.

since the samsung pixon12 i was waiting for a phone like this.

[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] annukman:
I agree with you it is not as popular as other smartphones. I think this is heavily due to its size and the probably the lumia 1020. But so far i am using the s4 zoom for 2 weeks i have not yet encountered any problems. I have use its camera in day and night and the picture quality really makes me dont care about its size. Bought straps to pull it out easily from my pocket and a cover that protect the screen so that i could the phone upside down without the scare of scratching my phone. Many of my friends were like "what is that is a phone?" when the phone rings. A few of my friends said the would buy it but majority of them did not like the big size of the phone. I am quite impressed with its battery life. For my normal usage with my data plan turn on it could easily last one and a half day. However if i snap a lot of pictures using the xenon flash it could only last for one full day which i am still more then happy with it. In terms of gaming apps i haven't yet put it to the test yet. So far for apps not even a single app has crash and the phone has never went on a software crash. Fought with my friends iphone 5 siri and was quite happy with results. I am starting to love this unique phone.

Hello all,

Lately I've been having issues with downloading apps from Play Store. The error has most often been "Package file is invalid."

I've been getting that while trying to download Netflix or updating Gmail so far. I haven't noticed it with any other apps yet.

When I plugged in my phone to my computer, Windows poped up saying "Tap to choose what happens with Samsung-SGH-i747"

I don't have the i747, I've got the t999, d2tmo, whatever.

I'm wondering if these two issues aren't related. Do I need to reflash a stock rom to attempt to fix and then flash CM or PA?

Any ideas?

[Shield Q&A] Evo_Shift:
There is a new update out. Is there anything special we need to do to preserve root if we are rooted? I don't have CWM installed.

Would it be advisable to use OTA rootkeeper?

EDIT - OTA rootkeeper didn't work and root was lost. The update must wipe /system. I guess I'll have to try rooting when I get home again. Hopefully that remains the same. I didn't want to have to flash recovery and jump through hoops updating the Shield which is why I left the stock recovery on there... Oh well. Bootloader remains unlocked so I suppose it should be easy as entering the one fastboot line I used from Gnurou...

Edit 2 - Root using Gnurou's instructions worked.
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
I have an idea that might help keep root, let me check it out.

UPDATE

It won't work in this case. The update patches recovery and flashes a new boot.img

UPDATE2

If you have CWM Recovery installed, after flashing the update it will ask if you want to disable recovery flash and then if you want to root.
[Shield Q&A] Gnurou:
Yes, you will have to re-run the fastboot command after each OTA. Preserving root after an OTA would require a custom recovery (like CWM). I tried to apply this OTA with the version of CWM agrabren uploaded and it failed, so until this is fixed I guess the best thing to do it just re-root after each OTA
[Shield Q&A] aDigitalPhantom:
Did it fail with status 7?

EDIT

It would have (failed with status 7) agrabren called the shield thor in his recovery and nvidia called it roth in the update. So the update was expecting roth for the device name and got thor.

Thats why it worked for me because i renamed it roth when i modded the recovery.

IF agrabren complains I will remove the link but for now.

Modded version is here
