[T-Mobile LG G2x] XxbloodxrushxX:
Hello fellow XDA Members,

The other day I was trying to install a custom rom, and then i accidentally did something considerably stupid. I went into Mounts and Storage -> and 'yes' to Format everything except /sdcard. After doing this, my phone reboot, and now shows White LG logo then Blue LG logo, and goes straight into CWM 5.0.2.0, this happens every time at boot. I am unable to mount any of the directories i previously formatted(/System, /Data, etc.).

CWM also gives me an error as follows:

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

--------------------------------------------------------------------

It also won't let me restore any backup's I've had, nor will it let me flash anything(NO Roms, Gapps, G2xCleanupBatch) Nothing flashes.

Returns the error:

(bad)

Installation Aborted

--------------------------------------------------------------------

My process of downloading the zip files is as follows:

Win8 desktop -> Google Chrome download -> put MicroSD into adapter then to computer -> drag the files into my MicroSD.

The first time i try to flash a zip it just says "installation aborted", and after i try to flash the same package a second time it returns, "(bad)" before installation aborted.

I've tried downloading various files over the past few days and nothing seems to help. You're replies are greatly appreciated.

I know there's an offline kdz repair method. I'm not very knowledgeable about it however. I would try searching for it. It may be stickied in one of the forums. Best of luck.

As the 'instructions' and the online help are no real use, i am throwing this out there....

It states that she Shield supports up to 256gb mSD cards, I have a 64gb Samsung XC card, the shield seems to know it is there as the 'Mount SD Card' option is not greyed out, but it wont mount or format the card

I have formatted the card NTFS as suggested in the online manual

The card works fine in a Galaxy S4

My 32gb card works fine, but is too small.

Any ideas?

[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
I have never gotten the shield to format a sdcard. You will need to download a third party tool to format it fat32, as windows won't let for format any partition over 32gb fat 32.

Depending on the format options fat32 can support up to 1 or 2 terabytes
[Shield General] daleph:
Not according the Nvidia's own instructions, they clearly say to format it to NTFS

shield.nvidia.com/user-guide/sd-card

I want to know if anyone has a 64gb or greater card working in the Shield.
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
post about ntfs on geforce forums

and post 2

but wait there's more
[Shield General] daleph:
Thanks for the links, i have never visited the geforce forum, the link i posted is from the actual instructions included in the online help built into the device.

If the card needs to be formatted as anything other than NTFS then they need to update the instructions, as i assume thats where most users would look first..
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
true, but I never read the instructions, I did not think it included any....LOL.
[Shield General] daleph:
LOL, there is an app installed called SHIELD help, well there is on mine.

I have nothing to compare against as its not available over here in the UK

Tried Fat32 and it still doesnt like it :(

Will try again tomorrow as its getting a tad late now

BTW, what do you think of it?

I think its a cracking hand held emulator and the build quality is superb!
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
I argee, and I have had trouble getting my 16gb sdcard to work in it, but my 8gb works fine.

16gb is a sandisk sdhc class 4
[Shield General] daleph:
The odd thing is, the shield does something to the card, if i put it back into the Galaxy S4 after removing it from the shield, the S4 says its damaged and needs to be reformatted. It then reformats it and mounts it ok.

Really need more than 32gb in the shield....
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
I got my 16gb microsd working. I noticed that my 8gb has a gpt partition structure and the 16gb had a mbr structure, after converting the mbr to gpt on the 16gb it works.
[Shield General] shinratdr:
I popped in my 16GB MicroSD that I use for my SuperCard DSTWO and it read it without issue. I copied some ROMs from it and to it, worked perfectly.
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
I have now converted my 8b working sdcard from gpt to mbr and it stopped working so i will change it back to gpt.
[Shield General] s0me guy:
Posted in other threads about this stuff. What ive experienced.

SanDisk 64gb Ultra*microSDXC™ UHS-I fails to mount in any format other than NTFS. Trying to mount otherwise results in loss of data and formating. Under NTFS format that file path is something ridiculous than can't be seen by some apps rendering the card basically useless. The card works fine in all other devices in several types of formating.

I have a 16gb of same brand and speed rating that mounts fine under FAT32.
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
Let me reference you to a post earlier in this thread post
[Shield General] s0me guy:
Is anyone having issues ( with the save path etc...) when using 64gb formated as FAT32?
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
Another post in that thread on the GeForce forums is that it does not support unicode file names.

The main difference I know of is that FAT32 does not support single files over 4Gig in size, NTFS does.
[Shield General] s0me guy:
Gotcha.

Sorry. Dealing with a newborn over here. Not much time to play with shield right now let alone research it. Lol
[Shield General] SixSixSevenSeven:
NTFS is also a journaling filesystem and has a few more inbuilt security features (which I see as pointless for the filesystem itself). Journaling won't actually do any good for the longevity of the SD card, its extra read/write cycles which are already limited enough on an SD card.
[Shield General] eman2001:
I got the class 10 xc micro sd card formatted to fat 32 and works fine in my shield here in the UK :good:
[Shield General] aDigitalPhantom:
I looked up up what the names that I mentioned earlier.

GPT was referring to GUID Partition Table.

MBR was referring to Master Boot Record.

I can't get anything using a Master Boot Record to mount in the shield.

Thing using the GUID Partition Table Work fine for me so far.
[Shield General] daleph:
More info

Well i can add more info lol

I was in work today and formatted both the 64gb UX cards to NTFS on a PC, and not using disk utility on a MAC as previously

Both work fine, copied all the roms and games pay and save fine

Also, on a side note, damned indexing on the mac causes havoc with the emulators as they read the index files and add them to the roms list, so suddenly 10,000 roms becomes 20,000...

All happy now :)
[Shield General] ak156:
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I still have that very same issue. Team 64gb class 10 card not recognized by my Shield Tablet I just bought. The device seems to know that there is a card inside since whenever I pop it out it tells me to insert a new card, but I can't actually use the card in the Shield. Tried both NTFS and FAT32, neither works. That same card works fine on my laptop reader and my Nokia 520 (backup phone), in both NTFS and FAT32. My other SD card - Sandisk 32gb Class 10 works just fine in the Shield, but I need more storage than that. Could it be the brand? I've read some other forums where Sandisk cards worked fine but others didn't...
[Shield General] bigall123:
Samsung sd card.

Well i use a samsung 128 AVO class 10 & it works grate.:)

Have you tried formatting it with HPUSBDisk-2.2.3. Google it. its free & it seem to work for me, Not on the shield but other devises. I used on a cheapo card that wood not go on my android tablet but it worked after that. Hope it works good luck.:)

Could anyone give me a hand by uploading the UK t-mobile original ROM as my one is corrupted. Thank in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
So I think I may have bricked my Samsung GS4. This is what I did.

I had previously been rooted with TWRP custom recovery partition. I did the new update (I know, I know). Surprise surprise my root access was gone ans so was the recovery partition. Now I have none at all. I wanted to flash the new Google play edition ROM onto the S4 so I went about re-rooting using the root exploit method and a microsd card.

The root went fine and I gained access again. Here is where I messed up though. I tried to re-install the TWRP recovery partition using goo manager. The install went fine, but when I rebooted the phone I got an error message and was sent straight into Odin mode. ****. Phone won't boot at all except into this mode.

I then went to my PC and attempted to re-install the MDK tar file to re-flash. Didn't work. I got a firmware error upgrade error message and advice to recovery using Kies. I tried this. Kies could not locate my device on the USB drive. (I'm using the stock cable mind you). I then did some searching on here and found out that I needed to use the ME7 tar file in odin. You can't flash back. I did this. I got an error:

The highlighted in red is where things went wrong I suspect but I didn't know what to do after that. I went on to try the "OneClick unbrick" method from there.

I put into odin mode and using the soft unbrick and I got an error claiming my device has not been plugged in. Now I have all the device drivers so I'm not sure what the problem could be is. Any help or suggestions? I called verizon and they're sending me another S4 but I'll be phone less until tuesday. In the mean time if I can figure out how to fix this I would much rather do that then deal with possibly be found out of voiding my warranty.

Thanks,

Dolph
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dolphlungegrin:
Solved.

Fix:

Resinstalled Odin (wouldn't let me run as administrator before. Reinstalled Me7 from zip (extracted). Booted up Odin. Unchecked repartion. and voila. It re-flashed successfully.

Question:

Is there a way to install custom ROMs on this with the ME7 bootloader? I want to install the Google Play edition port, but everything I see suggest using TWRP or the Clockwork Recovery Mod. Since these can't be loaded onto Me7. How does one do this? Via a .tar in Odin?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] droidinkk:
i had the same problem. if your just trying to get unbricked i can help. (warning i am extremely new at all this). so i did the update and ever since had been trying to get root access and flash a custom ROM. i too tried to install twrp through goo manager. i kept bricking my device by trying to boot into recovery. i found out that if do a battery pull, and hold the volume down and power button (booting into recovery) but dont let go until a warning page comes up. it should warn you about installing custom roms and give you the option of continuing by pressing the volume up button, or pressing the volume down to reboot. choose to reboot and you should be back to nromal. hopes this helps and was what you where looking for.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jaxon01:
There is currently no way to install a different rom after taking the ME7 update. You cannot go back to MDK either.

I have S4 GE, and someone released a mod which modifies a file to increase the device volume.

I have the same complaint and been messing around with some changes to increase volume. I'll keep everyone posted :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Waxwrong:
You could try an app called "Speaker Boost" which I used on a Ramos tablet and a Samsung phone and it worked great. You are still in control of the volume by a simple tap and adjustment. The Ramos tablet volume was so low I could barely hear anything but when using Speaker Boost I, at least, could hear the audio.

I tired, its not what I am looking for. It's OK, but still not native. It would be nice to modify the files so you could have the same native volume control

I have tried most of the apps that I know about but I am needing to determine what frequencies I am picking up. I live in a fairly rural area and outside I pick up 2 bars of service but inside either nothing or 1 bar.

I have googled this but didn't get far with this, as I cannot purchase the app right now. My question is is there a way to force roaming so I can text/call?

The tower is down and Wont be fixed until the 13th (so sprint says, it was supposed to be fixed today) but no one in the small radius effects can text / call at all. I can only text and call if it happens to roam. (Which it usually won't. I have 4, bars of service that do nothing).

Any ideas anyone?

Completely stock MD4? They took out the PRL write function in MD4 so you have to replace HiddenMenu.apk to get it back. And yes you can update your PRL through the normal way and it will go back to whatever the current one from Sprint is. This thread has a lot of info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880781

Nope, you're fine. Also, make sure to turn off mobile data before you try writing the PRL, otherwise the PRL won't stick the first time. Then you can turn it back on once you verify the PRL was written successfully.

Yes, you can just rename/remove the old HiddenMenu.apk and then place the new one in system/app. Reboot your phone and you should be good to go. I attached the HiddenMenu.apk with the PRL write function for you. I take no credit for the file as I'm not the one who modified it.

Just a heads up, I have not tried any other ROM then GB in a long time. So this is my first non GB rom to test out probably since this year.

My thoughts:

When I set it to redownload the MC4 files the wifi was incredibly slow. I was three feet from the wifi. And this may be because its ICS so it uses more ram then GB but it seemed to lag a little between normal transition between various aspects of the phones UI. This was after I installed no frills and set it to 1.4ghz on performance and sio, and I even used app quarantine to kill all apps except MC4, PLAY store, and settings.... everything else was frozen. I will keep playing with it. Either way thank you for making this rom. I appreciate your hard work and on behalf of the XDA Xperia PLAY forum thank you.
