When flashing I installed in the following order:

ROM

Gapps

Transformpack

Kernel

Not sure if it makes any difference, but just remember to make a back up of your current ROM and have another functioning ROM zip file on your device before flashing, just in case.

LOL

Also highly suggest running in tablet mode.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nephilim:
No offense to you but if you want to know what the best rom for your device is then you have to gain some time and patience to flash different roms, or in the very least read up about them on the threads here on XDA yourself. This is a developer community meant for adults that want to gain and share knowledge of how things work on mobile devices. This is not where you come to have answers spoon-fed to you because you are too lazy to take some time and figure things out for yourself. No one will ever be able to tell you what is the best for you, except yourself. If you don't have the patience then you should use the Nexus Toolkit, flash back to stock, lock your device and enjoy how the rom runs because those that are meant to be in this community have patience and make time to test what works for them. I may come off rude but this is just how it is, too many users come in here now and expect things on a silver platter, that is not how XDA works.

Do you know how much time and effort goes into building roms and kernels, or how much time people put into testing applications and settings in order to share their experience with others? It is kind of selfish to disregard those people by claiming you don't have enough patience to put some effort in yourself.

I have put months and months into just refining custom kernel settings that help users to gain optimal performance without sacrificing battery, lots of members come to my thread looking for help, if I decided I didn't have the time or patience to create a thread that gives a good base for setting up a custom kernel then alot of new users would be in the dark on what to do. Contributing is what makes this forum great, not looking for others to make the effort and for you to reap the benefits.

I think it's rather unfair that all the people on this thread have had to provide info and links to you when you could just as easily use the XDA search function and find them yourself. You've been a member since 2010, you should know better.

So I am stuck in a bootloop and no obvious way out.

US Galaxy Player 4.0

Rooted and been on custom roms for a year now. Problem started after upgraded to latest CM. Tried going back to stock but no luck in resolution. I am able to get into recovery and download mode and flash with odin. I can run adb shell. Just won't boot. The error message I get is as follows:

"E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

In my adb shell I can see that there is no "mmcblk0..." files at all.

I have tried to go through the full stock recovery and used the PIT files and the stock rom through odin. I get the same boot loop and cant get the data to wipe due to the same error. I can flash anything through Odin easily without fail but everything is stuck in boot loop. I just don't seem to have /data to wipe.

There are some other posts around which indicate the Partition may be screwed but I am not sure what it is supposed to look like or the command line syntax to use to correct.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1468213&highlight=wipe+data+shell

I have several nandroid backups on an external location but now I can't get the external card to recognize in CWM so haven't been able to try to revert backwards that way. I have backup of efs and all other stuff just can't seem to get to it.

Anybody with Ideas or direct help are greatly appreciated

recrtora above

Thank you Meticulus. I see that you were involved in the thread I referenced too and this is where I figured I needed to go. However this is where I get tripped up. The main issue being that I don't have an image from a 4.0 US player. The thread I linked to had the Intl Player shown... There were even a few requests for the US version later on in the thread.

So- Anyone want to share their US player working partition table?

Is this information contained in the .PIT files somehow?

anyway to retrieve this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
As far as I know that's the only way to do it is with the picture.... Be patient, I'm sure someone will post an image...

We only have mmc blocks for the actual storage of the device. The system partition and others are pure raw nand (which is why we use mtd and yaffs2)

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
So then, will recreating these partitions solve the OP problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Most probably because it will only touch /data and internal storage. Actually this is the first time I see a problem like this for the 4.0.

Envoyé depuis mon Nexus 7 avec Tapatalk 4
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] map1122:
So any confidence in the international vs the US version being the same?

Now the next thing is I used the command fdisk to start trying to recreate the partitions using the post instructions you recommended. I did not get an option for "new". I attached the output from the shell command. Tried looking up shell command references on fdisk but is not helping me here. Is it because there is not mmcblk0 at all? I don't seem to be getting into the command mode of the fdisk command.

If I use fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 I get "no such file or directory"
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
Hmm... Can post a list of /dev/block ?

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] map1122:
Like so?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
yes.... I'm not sure what's wrong but id recommend installing a full odin flashable rom...

Not sure what that would be for the 4.0..

Here is another place you can check /sys/bus/platform/devices/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/block/mmcblk0
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] map1122:
Here is the output of that. No further.

I am already on fresh Odin flash. Several attempts actually. I have been able to flash back to Stock (and use PIT) files, access stock recovery. I did this first to think I could restore to OEM. Then flash the Terra-Silent kernel to obtain CWM and the IcyFusion Rom (did this again this morning so I could get adb to link). These are the only Odin flashable that I am aware of for the 4.0. Obviously nothing boots because the issues discussed here.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] map1122:
what does "partition SD Card" in the Advanced and Debugging menu in CWM do?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
I don't know if those are "full" odin flashable roms.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] map1122:
Yes, that is the one I am using to revert to stock and additional PIT. I checked MD5 sums too.

Would this kind of thing be backed up in a nandroid?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Meticulus:
No, It wouldn't be backed up in android...

I'm betting that the U.S. Odin ROM on that page is not a "full" recovery rom either... I'm downloading right now to check. If it isn't, we need to find out how safe it is to flash an INT version first then flash a USA over it.

On the 5.0, we can do that... and everything is OK but don't know about 4.0...

EDIT: Seem like the only difference is that INT has bootloaders and USA does not. That doesn't help us...:(
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BachuArg:
Since I got my i9070 I tried some roms: Pure Vanilla, LightJB, CM 10.1, CM 10.2, Omni

I read all these roms threads, and everything I found on the General section, and also other GPS posts I found on xda and google.

The thing is that with stock, Pure Vanilla and LightJB I had no problems with GPS, without caring of which stock I´d flashed first.

But when moving to CM 10.1, 10.2 or Omni, GPS just gets crazy. Very few times it fixes without problems, most of the times it takes 10 to 15 minutes to fix and sometimes it doesn´t even fix.

I tried with different gps.conf configurations and nothing changed, also with fasterfix, gps status, gps fix and so on... but it´s the same.

What I´m asking for is, as I´m not a developer and I don´t know anything about coding, is what else appart from gps.conf makes the gps work? Are there any files I can try from other roms to test if by replacing them I can get gps to work?

I´ll be more than happy to test anything to make GPS work stable.

More than Kit Kat, I´ll be very happy to have a custom rom, such as CM, working fully stable for my device.

Thanks indeed.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
If gps is working for most of users, maybe it is not ROMs fault. Maybe you should try with some other firmware (other baseband than yours now). And do you wipe cache and dalvik cache? And do factory reset after ROM change? That is a must for avoiding strange problems.

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
I am not sure about that. And I remember that phones with firmwares from Argentina had some problems on Omni...

Maybe try with Brasil or some other in your region. Ofcourse do not flash I9070P firmware on I9070 phone, and otherwise.

One of them was me. Also Tano and a couple of guys more... The same happened to us with CM 10.1 and 10.2

Shut_down: thanks for your answers.

Baseband doesn´t have to do only with mobile signal? What I knew is that baseband was for mobile and data signal but GPS is a separate thing. Because of this, we can have no phone signal at all, no A-GPS, but GPS working. Something useful for hiking far from cities for example.

Maybe this what I bolded is crucial. Without A-GPS it is working lot slower... I remember on stock before I was waiting long for a fix. But on the other hand, now without internet it is lot faster on CM10.1 than yours...

Well... aparently this time, it works!!!. More or less 1:30 mins to fix.

Question about this. Doesn´t if fix A-GPS?

The thing is that many times I´m in places without mobile signal.

Doesn´t A-GPS work only with phone signal by making a triangulation with antenas?

Presenting the GAPPS AROMA Installer for Cyanogenmod 10/11.

I was unable to find an aroma package for cm gapps version 08 Dec 2013 so here's my uploaded gapps collection.

This package does not contain (or exclude) anything that was not provided in the original gapps package from the cm team found

here.

Description:

Pick and choose which Gapps you want to install.

Important Info!! Read before proceeding!:

-

If you have never uninstalled system apps before, this is not for you!!!

- The installer simply allows you to customize what goes into your "/system/app" folder

(and "/system/priv-app/" for kitkat)..

- Everything else will be installed in it's original fashion (i.e. everything else in "/system/").

-

Be mindful of what you pick and choose as many combinations can lead to a non-functional ROM.

You and ONLY you are responsible for what you do or don't choose.

- Installing GApps but not it's 'Setup Wizard' causes several cm ROM functions to disappear (Quick settings panel items, Power menu items, etc.).

- Tested extensively on my GT-I9300 running CWM 6.0.4.4 and cyanogenmod 10.1.3/10.2.0/11.

In the event that I missed something, please report it.

- Suggestions/Bug reports are welcome. However keep in mind that my programming skills are

about as good as a wet turd. :)

Installation:

1. Flash like you would any other .zip file via CWM.

Hey so for a few weeks now I've been on tkrom 5.0 and my 64gb micro SD ultra works fine. But I've been wanting to try out a new Rom (axisrom) and I've flashed it with all 4 different kernels it comes with and my micro SD will not work. So I flashed my backup of tkrom to see what kernel I am on. And it says ktoons kernel so I flash the newest kt kernel on the axisrom still doesn't work. Anyway around this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Maphack:
i'm pretty sure i have that card too. 64gig sandisk ultra that's red and gray...anyways

what format is it? if it is exFAT, I would assume your first rom is exFAT compatible and the others aren't.

what does it say when you go to storage?i had to mess around with fat32 and exfat when my replacement card came and my phone would just say 0.0 as the size...wouldn't say unable to mount or that it wasn't present...i formatted it to fat32 to make sure my card was readable, and it worked perfectly, so that wasn't the issue.

I was using paranoid android 4.4.2 and it didn't work when i was using 12/03 ktoons, but after the next update it gave my phone exfat compatibility, so that was pretty good timing...but i'm rambling

sounds like you probably have exfat compatibility on your current rom, but the others you tried do not support it...make sure the kernel you flash supports it too.

last thing was that the changelog of ktoons said it was compatible with exfat, but it ended up not being compatible. just throwing that out there in case you run into the same situation.

last thing, fat32 is compatible with everything afaik.

Immediately after sleep (the device has rested for 1 hr atleast) - first call get dropped within 10sec. So, this is issue with wakeup. If you are very serious on dropped call - dont let the device sleep at all.

Second issue - dropped call due to bad cell handling - some phones seem to be sensitive - and universal is !!!.

The best non sensitive(read rock solid) phone is Nokia 6210 (that bw one). I have tried it - Nokia wont leave the connection while Universal (and SEP900 also) will drop. This is at SAME time - all three phones talking.

I doubt regarding ROM update fixing the drop issue.

I am not very good at how Radio chips are designed(but do know how the towers wrk and their sw) - but I think its more of a chip design issue rather than SW. We may have to absolve MS here.

Any comments - any radio chip designers (esp TI guys - because I think radio chip in UNI is Texas) here bother to comment?

BTW bad cell handling happens when the radio constantly changes cells - selecting cells based on their strength - and the towers inabilty to keep up with the change.

There is a proggy on Symbian pateform which allows you to see all the cells that your radio is able to see - you will be amzed - a radio sees upto 10 cells at one time - and is able to select the best.

Anybody out there care to port this on MS?
