hmmm, file system organization cannot damage your card, it is only a logic 1 or 0 on the electronics cells.

Maybe there is a difference between frequency of read/write operation. The more the bigger chance to damage a card... of course after a long, looooong time. I would recommend using ext3 as it's more scalable and stable than FAT32.

FAT32: File Allocation Table, 32-bit

Introduced: August 1996 (Windows 95 OSR2)

Directory contents: Table

File allocation: Linked list

Bad blocks: Cluster tagging

Maximum number of files: 268,435,437

Maximum file size: 4GB

Filenames: 8.3 or 255 characters, ASCII except for "'*/:<>?\|

Attributes: Read-only, hidden, system. volume label, subdir, archive

Ext3: Third extended file system

Introduced: November 2001 (Linux 2.4.15)

Directory contents: Table, tree

File allocation: Bitmap, table

Bad blocks: Table

Maximum number of files: number of bytes in volume/2^13.

Maximum file size: 16GB (1KB block) to 2TB (4KB block)

Filenames: 255 bytes long, all bytes except \0 and /.

Attributes: no access time logging, append-only, synchronous write, no-dump, h-tree, immutable, journal, secure-delete, top, allow-undelete.

Journal: metadata and file contents

There is no "best" filesystem, they are all optimized, to some extent, for different things.

Without lots more info, fat32 is relatively efficient and has far and away the best compatibility. For most users the compatibility makes it the winner.
[General Questions and Answers] deutsh:
Hi... I try the ntfs but.... But its incompatible with android.... So sad
[General Questions and Answers] SaschaBr:
NTFS is an windows-filesystem, and is only write- and readable on windows. Yes. linux can read it, but needs secial drivers for that and isn't realy fast. It is the worst filesystem for android or linux.

Use fat32 and ready!

Its fast, its compatible, and can be used in/ with most devices. The only disadvantage for

you

will be the filesize-maximum (4 GB).

O.K. I'll take your advice but I have a little question "how could I protect the micro sdcard from damage ? I suffered from a damge of micro sdcard several times.
[General Questions and Answers] SaschaBr:
Until now I never had an damaged sd-card. And if it will happen, I have an backup of my important data. So I simply will buy a new one and play back this backup. Nothing is forever. :D

EDIT:

Ok, this 64 GB-SD-Cards are not realy cheap, but under normal conditions it won't faile for a long time, whatever filesystem you will use.

hey buddy,

can u tell me i going to partition of memory card for music nd video i'll use FAT32 but second partition what should i do..ext3 or ext4 i ma using motorola g3 stock android is supported ext4 partition on android 5.1.1 or not cz plz tell me .

thanks in advance

[General Questions and Answers] RAM LILA:
you can format it by Fat32

:D
[General Questions and Answers] ivrahim:
sharing and expecting to learn :)

Hi all,

I am wondering about the partitioning of my new external memory card manufactured by Samsung Electronics.

The very same manufacturer initially develop F2FS, the Flash Friendly File System for the Linux Kernel.

F2FS was expected to be the fastest F.S. for solid-state disks, eMMCs, and SD cards.

Initial tests confirmed it. Nevertheless posterior tests reveal that ext4 beats F2FS (...).

My guessing is that not enough research/test have been done in the matter.

Im going to set the following layout in order to test the speed for each partition:

1._ 34,7G EXT4 -> pictures, movies, backups, etc... AND/OR moved: APPs by hard/sym links; DATA by folder mount

2._ 65,0G FAT32 -> pictures, movies, backups, etc...

3._ 19,5G F2FS -> moved APPs by hard/sym links; moved DATA by folder mount

Depending on the results (specific for my phone and configuration) included in the reports from Antutu, A1SDBenmarch (possibly others too), I will most likely either:

1._ format whole microSD as F2FS -> roms,apps,data,pics,movies,etc; access using the phone (adb, usb, wifi)

2._ format whole microSD as EXT4 -> roms,apps,data,pics,movies,etc; access using any type of linux and many others

3._ format 32G as F2FS -> apps; format 64G as EXT4 -> roms,data,backups,movies; format 32G as FAT32 (any file smaller than 4G I want to be directly accessed from any device through any card reader using any OS)*

* I won't use fat32 as ext4 read/writes speeds are bit faster and i dont need to access the sd using any device

My goal is to format the external microSD card as F2FS and internal storage. F2FS is not only supposed to be better in performance but also it is supposed to expand it's lifespam

Note: Regarding partitioning the microSD in the computer, only linux will allow resizing F2FS filesystems; windows software doesnt recognize it yet, therefore it treats the partition as unformatted, neveertheless it's possible to move it.

Note2: there are programs that allow the user to mount linux partitions and read/write data on them.

Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005, rooted, resurrection remix 5.6 (current,next5.8)

Card: Samsung EVO Plus 128Gb microSDXC UHS-I Class 10 U3 Card

ROM: Resurrection Remix v5.6 (Marshmallow)**

S.Soft: Apps2SDpro: Linked -hardlinks/symlinks- apps to F2FS partition on ext.SD. App data (TuneIn Radio recordings) moved -foldermount- to F2FS partition on ext.SD.

** I am currently designing the multiROM layout which will probably include the current ROM, plus Resurrection Remix v5.8 (Nougat) kali and some others

cheers

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lk5346:
Hi radicalisto

Thanks for your reply much appreciate it do you think when the next build of kitkat comes out i should be able to update it to my region? I'm not having any issues I just want be back on my official region firmware.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radicalisto:
Since it's not causing any problems currently, I'd wait a couple of weeks and see if the new updated roll out takes place. No real need to have Official region unless there is something Specific you need from it right now, short term it's OK, long term once KK settles etc you should be able to switch back with zero issues :good:

ok Guys dont be afried to buy the china model off ZP998 i have made cwm recovery flash for the firmware ZP998 to ZP9520
[Android General] Mawe79:
you portet?!?

It's same hardware, so only have to flash the Firmware!

Same thing like the ZP980 and C2 ones.....so there must be no porting.

I also have 9520 and flashed zp998 fw without any problem.
[Android General] -fluffy-:
it is a port u can say yes because u cant flash the same preloader an yes it is for CWM an TWRP recovery an not for flashtools

as u are talking about an 9520 use another os an u cant just take wat u want from 9520 app an use in 998
[Android General] Mawe79:
ok sorry, don't know what you mean.

I just have downloaded the Stock Rom of the ZP998 and flashed it with flashtool to my 9520
[Android General] -fluffy-:
ok i just read that other ho have done it has soft bricked there phones with it
[Android General] Mawe79:
yes same think like ZP980 and C2 thing because people are flashing the preloader.

So don't understand why they do it :/

There are phones that get bricked when you make a backup of the preloader and flash the same preloader to the phone....

so don't understand why people flash preloader, because it has nothing to do with the Firmware!

There is no need to flash, so why flash?

Edit: don't be afraid when you flash ZP998 FW to ZP9520. There can go nothing wrong when yo UNCHECK the preloader, so please don't flash the preloader. In the first start it looks like the phone is bricked, because it stays for a long time at the zopo logo, but this is normal and only once! It remais about 1min at the Logo for the first booting!
[Android General] Gero1979:
In resuming, you can flash a rom of zp998 to zp9520 if you unchek the preloader (It is also advisable to uncheck it when we update the zp998)

I saw on Needrom, the crucial difference between the 2 phones is the frequency of WCDMA : the zp9520 is WCDMA 850/2100 MHZ and the zp998 is WCDMA 900/1900/2100 MHz. It's true ?

because, i can buy a zp9520 instead of zp998

Thank you
[Android General] XNyle:
I don't think that is true, as it would make absolutely no sense!

The 9520 is sold in China. Asia is using the same frequencies as Europe. So why would it have support for US frequencies on board but missing Asia frequencies. That doesn't sound logical.

Zopomobileshop states for the 998: Band: 2G:GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz & 3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz

mobile-phones.cn states for the 9520: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz 3G WCDMA HSDPA 850/2100 MHZ

Both the same, both quadband plus US and Europe UMTS frequencies and - if I understand it correctly - therefore both working in America.

[Android General] FlashNoob98:
Hi all, I have a 9520 and flashed the entire zp998 rom lots of times... for example, the KK update from JB, when i tried to deselect bootloader, it appeared a message saying "PMT_changed it must be downloaded" so I was obligated to select "firmware updgrade" and not only "download"

but no problems of any kind, the device works well. and I tried also some 9520 Roms on the 9520 flashing all and it worked fine too.

now I just got a problem, I updated the KK via OTA (the KK rom of september) and now, can't flash recovery via flashtool... Should I use a proper recovery for the 9520 or it's the same??? (used 998 custom recovery in the past with no problem) or i should reflash the entire rom changing the recovery?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sac0:
I have a completely broken screen/lcd/digitizer on my Samsung Galaxy S3, debug mode was not on. The phone works as it will still vibrate when turned on and the LED / Menu / Back buttons light up during a boot. USB connector works as well. The phone was not previously rooted.

I had most important data on the sd card and I've already wrote off any other data on the phone as I've since moved on to a GN2. I would like to make use of the S3 (not necessarily as a phone but a server, security camera, etc.). I've read several posts here about my options and looked at numerous google articles, all seem to require debug mode being on or assume/require the data/OS must remain as this is what the user is trying to recover. I do not care if all data is lost on the phone, I just want to make the device useful again.

Am I out of luck if debug mode was not enabled or can I flash through adb via some obscure mechanism? Also note that fastboot is not an option here as the S3 (samsung) does not have it enabled. I am unable to get into "Download Mode" as I cannot see info on the screen.

Thanks in advance for any help and/or suggestions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
You can go blindly to download mode when display is not working. I personally did it with my father's Samsung when he destroyed his phone's screen and we had to take it for warranty and he had root and CyanogenMod.

You need to hold Volume down, Home and power for approximately 3 seconds and then release them. Wait 3-4 seconds for good.

Then press volume up to accept screen prompt (of course you will not see it, but it comes). Then plug in USB and start Odin. Odin will show COM:x added (x can be any number depending on USB port used.) Then start flashing.

ODIN DOES NOT REQUIRE USB DEBUGGING ON

By odin flashing all data will be wiped from /system, /data, /cache partitions.

I don't know about internal storage (I mean internal memory card).

External card will not be formatted or not harmed.

[MENTION=5343187]hnkotnis[/MENTION] Geniusness! I had actually tried this before but it was your words of experience that made me try again. I am adding more info for those who may find this later.

First, I am on linux (debian) so no Odin, I used Heimdall and Heimdall Frontend:

* disconnect USB

* pull battery

* let set for a minute

* Press HOME+Power+VolDown for 2 seconds beyond the vibrate (total of about 5 seconds)

* wait 3-4 seconds

* press the VolUp button

* plug usb in

* press "Detect" in Heimdall Frontend

You should get a "Device detected" in heimdall frontend. I also noticed a difference when connecting the usb cable with in "Download Mode" versus not in Download Mode.
