[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
Hi everyone, looking for a little guidance.

Phone: Android G1 (Rogers Canada Dream) running Cyanogen 4.2.15.1, been running fine since 4.2.6.1

Removed SD card while it was on and it rebooted... when it restarted it showed no applications and said the SD card was inaccessible and required a format. After rebooting a few times with no success I bit the bullet and formatted it... all apps are gone except for the ones that are on that image for Cyanogen. I have no market app to download new apps and when I plug it into my PC and mount it I don't see it show up as a drive like it did so I have no way to get the apps back on.

Has anyone had this happen before? Phone still works but I need to get it back to a state where I can get access to the SD and install the market... Any suggestions appreciated!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ddotpatel:
There is a thread on the HERO section of Modaco site called "no adb, no sd". I think the 1st post on the last page MIGHT help. There are adb commands you can run to see if the phone has randomly stopped accessing the SD. Worth a shot.

PM me if you have trouble finding the thread n I'll have a look when I'm at my laptop.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ddotpatel:
I misunderstood I think.

So it is now showing an sd present? Have you tried formatting in a pc?

Tried reboot without the sd in, then insert once fully booted again?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
I remove the SD Card, formatted it in my PC put it back in the phone and I can store pics and vids on it and access them but cant see or access it from the PC when in the phone. I also have no file browser so I cant install any apps or even access the market icon is gone). :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ddotpatel:
I got your message pal....

Ok,.... So pictures and videos taken with your phone camera DO save to your SD?.... and you CAN access them on your phone OR if you put your SD into your PC/Lappy?... But not when trying to "mount SD"?

Or have I got that completely wrong?.... Did you put pics&vids onto it through your PC, and thats the only access you get to it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
Pics taken DO save to me SD. I Can access them from a PC is I remove the SD and put it in the PC. Not when I plug the phone in via USB then tell it to mount.

I just did a low level format, same issue.

UPDATE: Just tried the Android System Recovery and Toggle USB-MS and it shows on my laptop now! Going to try the recovery backup now.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ddotpatel:
aha,... so its just a mounting issue, not that the hardware has turned itself off.

Once when using an older ROM (maybe Villain 10?) we had this same issue, not able to mount SD,... going into Settings --> Connect to PC --> and turning off Notify/ask me solved the problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
I just partitionned it using:

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print (to verfiy we know what size card we are dealing with, the details should be straight forward)

rm 1

rm 2

mkpartfs primary fat32 0 7500

mkpartfs primary ext2 7500 7948

quit

upgrade_fs

reboot recovery

Then put CyanogenMod-5 For Dream/Magic on the SD and renamed it update.zip

I'm in Android System recovery now and just did a nandroid backup.

I should be able to WIPE then FLASH UPDATE IMAGE right?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
Yes, if you have the ROM image on the SD Card (FAT32 partition), you can go flash the image.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
Stupid question but when I wipe will it delete my contacts as well? :confused:

I assume yes but...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
If your contacts are saved in the phone's memory, then yes. Any settings, apps, configurations that are stored on the phone will all be gone.

A wipe pretty much gives you the factory settings. (As if you just bought the phone) So you'll have to re-signin into your Google Account and let the Contacts Sync, etc..

EDIT: Depending on what you are flashing (flashing and wiping are two different things), you may not even need to wipe.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
Hmmm I tried flash update image and got:

E: Cant open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)

When I mount it in system recovery I see the LOST.DIR and update.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
Try this:

-Confirm the Image-

1) Make sure you have the full image you are going to flash. (Compare MD5 Hashes and/or just redownload the image)

2) Make sure the image you are flashing is the in the ROOT directory of your SDCard. In other words, it shouldn't be in any folder.

-Flash the Image-

1) When in Recovery, choose to flash an image.

2) Depending on what recovery you have, you may have to select/find the Image you want to flash.

3) Flash the image

-Wipe (Depends)-

1) If you are coming from a different ROM base (ie anything -> cyan), you'll want to wipe.

2) After the phone successfully flashes the image, wipe the phone.

Reboot.

Let me know how it goes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
I pulled the new image from: Latest version: 5.0.8-DS - 06/19/2010

Download: http://cyanogen-upda...8-DS-signed.zip

but it says no such file or DIR... weird...

The only partition I can see on my PC to put it on is the main partition...

I just downloaded the file and renamed it update.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
I just realized the main reason that you posted this topic. From what I am assuming, either:

a) Your SD Card reader is dead

b) The software isn't recognizing the SD Card reader.

Best bet at this point is to setup ADB (ADB For Dummies) and flash the image from your computer. It can get a slight bit complicated, but just slowly go through each step for installing ADB.

Once ADB is set up, you can flash the image from the computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
The SD card reader in my phone? It has to work if I can read an write to it ( tested photos and videos) and in recovery I was able to make a backup.

If its the software I need to flash it then right? ADB does make me nervous as I only used it once... I just tried using the terminal emulator on the phone to flash a recovery image I had made while back:

cd /sdcard

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-backup.img

and got the message "error writing recovery: Permission denied"
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akapoor:
If you can view the pictures that you saved on the SD card from the phone, then both the software and hardware are functioning correctly.

Regarding the permission denied:

1) What happens if you "su - " in terminal?

2) First try one(1) ^ and then try to reinstate the permissions. (In recovery, go to console and type : fix_permissions)

Not sure otherwise.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] D RoiD:
Ok I did a wipe and now I see the SD when mounted on the PC with the phone on.

I have my market icon back so I can reinstall my crap.

I'll leave it as is for a bit but appreciate everyones input!!! :D

I paid $99 in a AT&T store.

It was 3 days before the official launch, I walked in a store (not a resseler store). Asked if they had the captivate, they said yes.

I was expecting to pay $199 but they told me it's $99.

I left with a big smile :)
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
I paid 99 as well.

if you pay more than 100 a month and haven't upgraded in 24 months, they'll knock 100 off the phone.

letstalk.com has it for free but the plan stuff confuses the **** outta me
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
I went with $164 because with Walmart it was $99 but only if you are upgrading the primary line, secondary lines is $199... oh well....cannot wait and then will have to make a decision to keep it or keep my tilt2 or keep both and sell my wife's Samsung eternity to get some cash back hehe
[Captivate General] pongothemagnificent:
I payed 160$ by upgrading online.....upgrade fee was waved, and they took 50$ off cause it was an online upgrade, so 150$+10$tax=160$, perfectly cheap for me =], tho im still wondering how you guys upgraded to a captivate for 99$..that puzzle's me ><.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
Que paso boricua!

Walmart has the $99 upgrade price but only for primary lines...secondary lines are $199 thats why I couldnt do it.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
it's simple, http://www.wireless.att.com/learn/why/upgrade-advantage.jsp

if you haven't upgraded your main line in 24 months and your bill is $100+ you get $100 off your next phone so long as it isn't an iPhone

not so puzzling to me..
[Captivate General] mattsternc:
As others have mentioned, I also paid $99 this past Sunday for mine. I had no idea that it was possible (been over $100 for a couple of years and haven't upgraded to a new phone through them for 3+ years!). No screen protectors in stock at that store or any other in the area, so I ordered a couple from Bodyguardz.com which will hopefully be here this week!

Loving the phone so far! :)
[Captivate General] NOSintake:
Got it for $99 at Best Buy. Went in and asked if they price matched, and they said yes, so I showed them the LetsTalk price, and they matched it. Had to pay their $229 price, but they gave me the money back in cash (gotta love $130 in cold hard case from Best Buy). Walked out of the store a happy man. Only way to be happier was if I got the phone for $229 off contract, haha
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
I got it for $148 including all taxes and fees with a upgrade. I complained to customer service on the fone while I was waiting in line to get the phone and managed to get a $100 credit...

Should have been $248
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TNS201:
Basically I want to change the font to white for everything that's not already white, well for most things.

1. Notification windows, like where it shows you have a text message or other notification, currently the background is white with black text.

2. Buttons (ie OK, Cancel, etc)

3. Tabs, like example if you click on a market app you installed, the uppper part it will say About and Comments, the selected Tab will be black text and the other tabs will be white

4. Anywhere else there would be black font besides what I type.

5. HTC stock Keyboard

Well basically I want everything to be white because my theme is gonna be dark and red. All buttons and such will be dark, so it will be hard to see black font. In a nutshell I want everything white except the text I type in a box.

Thanks
[Streak 5 Accessories] Fazziebear:
I neededa case so bit the bullet and went to the bank for a small loan.

Well its well made to a good quality, has a nice tight fit, and securely held and protected.

But it makes the phone massive. Impossible to make calls without folding over the case and looking like a plonker. It doesn't fit in your pocket comfortably (tests the stitching of your trousers).

The internal holder within the case is good with a kick stand. I cut this out and use it as a half case witha kick stand. I am also looking at whether this can be used to mount the streak in the car.

In summary........

If you have a big jacket pocket or you carry the streak like a hand bag then this case could be for you. If you don't then give this a wide birth.
[Streak 5 Accessories] jah:
Well in the other Dell Accessory thread here I did say the Dell case was rubbish!
[Streak 5 Accessories] Fazziebear:
Didn't see it unfortunately.
[Streak 5 Accessories] shEEEsh:
I will second that motion. Bought both cases .. posted somewhere here about what junk the plastic one was. Made of the same material as the packaging. .. just thicker and it protects the back side. the part that needs the least amount of protection, leaving the piano finish exposed !!

The pleather wallet thing is just as bad. Covered cardboard. Need to remove the Streak to do anything with it .. Sending both back.

Diane
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
I guess it depends what you do with your Streak. I have mine on a data only contract so no phone calls and I wear trousers with cargo pockets at work so plenty of space for carrying. For me being able to use the Streak while in a good protective case is important, the Dell leather case fits the bill nicely.

EDIT: found out if you put in a regular 3.5mm headphone, the FM transmitter should also work :p guess you can do it any way you want!
[HD2 General] jonyid:
so let me get this right, if you get a 3.5mm jack off some headphones, i can plug that in and the radio will work?
[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
Yeah, I just tried it on a Sony headset and an ipod headphone set and they both triggered the FM to work. I think the FM can be triggered with software to work but the reception will be crappy without extra wire coming out to catch the signal.
[HD2 General] troed:
Great experiment ! Easy solution ! Can now uninstall all internet-radio apps and get my local radio station w/o headset.

Tx !
[HD2 General] Carnivore9:
Personally I think it's just a gimmic to buy HTC's headset, don't fall for it guys! Use your own equipment that will sound better and fit more comfortably!
[HD2 General] Marct77:
I could only pick up a couple of local stations like this,and we have a huge transmitter only a few miles away.

Went back to a full length set of headphones and did a rescan

and they were all back....

NW UK based.
[HD2 General] leepriestenator:
The whole wire acts like an antenna. There is no dedicated antenna for FM. That's how FM works since it's short range and hig frequency unlike the older AM low freq signals which need a more specialised antenna.

For good FM reception, a good wire will suffice.
[HD2 General] c1bear:
Nice i'll give it a try, but first thing i would like to know is how did you get your sound so high, been lookin every ware for a cab file or a hack, any info would be GR8
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criDikal:
I've been able to successfully so far move 'Barcode Scanner' & 'Titanium Backup' to "run" from my sd card. Certain apps fail when trying to move them to the sd card; it almost looks as if currently there is a size limitation - can only move apps under 1mb.

My question is, where exactly are these apps being stored on the sd card? I've searched '/mnt/sdcard' and haven't came up with anything.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAYNO20:
I noticed this too.. I had about 3 apps that were all over 1mb that failed when trying to move them to the SD card... is this just a feature that isn't fully supported yet maybe?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halftimefeel:
how on earth do you activate the screen? not sure if it is normal, but when i make an outbound call the screen shuts down, and no matter what buttons i press the screen doesn't come back. i guess it makes sense that the touch screen is not on when it is pressed against your face or ear, but i would just like to know how to bring the screen back as it is not all that obvious to me.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cgrec92:
shake the screen
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiznom:
The proximity sensor is at the very top of the screen, near the top left corner. Normally, this dims the screen when you hold the phone to your ear and talk. Make sure you are not accidentally covering that spot when you grip the phone. Try calling a number and covering/uncovering the top left of the screen, and you should see the screen come on and off as you do this. There is a little delay, so don't expect instant results. If the delay is more than a second or so, something is wrong. If you are sure you are not covering the sensor and the screen is dimming unexpectedly, the phone is defective and should be returned or exchanged. The screen should always come on during a call when the sensor is uncovered, to allow you do dial additional numbers, hang up, etc.

I'm on damagecontrol 3.2.3 with the latest radios, I have the latest version of wireless tether installed. When I tap on the symbol to start tethering, my laptop will not see the network at all. It only seems to be able to see it when I tap it again to stop tethering, then it'll pop-up on my computer, but won't connect because tethering is stopping.

I've tried turning WiFi encryption on or off, access control on or off, nothing seems to make a difference. I've tried manually turning wifi on before starting the tethering program, nothing seems to help.

Any ideas?

Intersting. I'll nandroid and try wireless tether on a different ROM. Maybe i'll give Cyan 6 a try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
Sorry, I hadn't seen the new version. I don't see an issue using pre4...I'm going to instal it on mine now. When I was running DC 3.2.3, I was using the pre2 so I know that should work.

Also, if you are using a program like autostarts, ensure you don't have any rules keeping wifi tether from working properly.

The Error of Terror

Ruben,

I had this exact same error today.

I was using Cyanogen and my SD Card became corrupt and would not mount when I was flashing ROMS ( in recovery mode)

What I did was use a new SD Card and Download leaked unofficial official Froyo ROM (HTC Incredible) onto the new SD Card on my computer. My Incredible was then able to mount thatSD card and install the ROM using Nandroid.

Once installed I had to reformat the original SD card using the unofficial official Froyo ROM (HTC Incredible).

Good luck! Hope this helps...
[Droid Incredible General] Ruben1123:
I'm out of town right now and my good SD card isn't with me. But I'm on a cheap temp one that can barely hold files.

Why thank you! Worked perfectly.

What does it mean if I get this message but it DOESN'T interfere with anything?

I get this when I tap "Backup Current ROM" in ROM manager. The backup completes correctly, I have no trouble flashing ROMs, no trouble mounting to PC, no errors or messages when mounting partitions within recovery, but this always displays when I call for Backup Current ROM. Anyone have any ideas?

Thx...

For those of you who are having problems with the following codes:

Code 3: adb push unrevoked /sdcard

Code 4: adb push recovery.img /sdcard

Code 5: adb push boot-patched.zip /sdcard

Code 7: sh /sdcard/unrevoked

and getting a message: "failed to copy 'unrevoked' to '/sdcard/unrevoked': Permission denied",

or

"Can't open /sdcard/unrevoked",

You may need to format your SD Card. I had to re-mount my SD card and enable disk use. Then I formatted it via windows. Then unmounted it and tried again.

SUCCESS!!! Finally!!! Took me 2 full days at work to figure this out. Not sure if anyone has really addressed this issue or not.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
Hey all, apologies if this is already covered somewhere.

I got my Vibrant a few days ago and promptly rooted it to get wifi tether. USB storage mode worked fine at that point and I was able to transfer files to the internal storage from a Windows 7 64-bit box.

Yesterday, I went to use USB storage mode on my Mac, and... nadda. I plugged the phone into my netbook (running Ubuntu) and both internal and external filesystems were available there, so it seemed like a Mac specific issue. I googled around and enabling USB debugging fixes this particular issue in OS X, so I enabled that.

The problem is, now the Win7 64 box can't access internal storage at all, regardless of the USB debugging setting! With USB debugging on, neither storage device is visible at all. With it off, both devices show up as "drives," but only the external card is really accessible from Explorer (the internal storage maps to "G" or something, and attempting to access it results in Explorer hanging).

So here's my question: is there any way to get this sorted out so that I can mount both devices from both of these systems? Normally I wouldn't much care about the loss of Windows support (since I mainly use Linux and OS X), but I just ordered a Galaxy S for my wife, and this is just not going to be acceptable for her.
