it doesn't work for me

Hi Jodamm,

I have not verified whether the FAT32 is corrupted or not after applying this fix. But both partitions (EXT & FAT32) are shown up when connecting my desire with Ubuntu. It is absolutely boring since I don't want to touch the EXT.

Do you know what is the reason?

Thanks!
[Desire Android Development] jodamm:
Which ROM do you have installed?
[Desire Android Development] wayne2000:
I tried it on OD 4.0.36 and Defrost 5.8, got the same results. :(

I modified vold.fstab via adb shell. Also I tried to flash your zip. Both have EXT shown up.

Any clue?
[Desire Android Development] Alex-V:
i followed this thread..and don´t know why but i think this work on sense rom only (works good on my sense rom)...correct me if i am wrong

with kind regards..Alex
[Desire Android Development] Daelyn:
If I'm not entirely mistaken, the partition numbering is shifted. Depending on how you have your partition table setup, it can happen.

Try changing the text in bold to the different settings below.

If it **** up at boot, have a original backed up so you can push it via recovery.

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard [B]auto[/B] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc1

Auto = first mountable partition

0 = partition one

1 = partition two

2 = partition three

3 = partition four
[Desire Android Development] nespresso33:
If in recovery i get an error : "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

Does that mean my sd-card is corrupted ?
[Desire Android Development] qbus00:
Actually this 1-base index so first partition has number 1 not 0.
[Desire Android Development] drew2d1:
It worked when i was using Supervillain (sense) but not now I'm using Oxygen (no sense)

Any ideas anyone?
[Desire Android Development] gurpreet3579:
Same problem with my SD also.

When ever I unplug the device from pc it takes a lot of time to read all the installed apps.

Reading is very slow I even try to flash frankoid kernel to make it work faster but it gives error during installation.
[Desire Android Development] drew2d1:
I formatted/partitioned my sd card and went from ext2 to ext3 and seems to be working fine.
[Desire Android Development] gurpreet3579:
which method you use for partioning??

how a rom manager can be used for ext 2 or ext3 ????

pl explain thanks in adavance.:o
[Desire Android Development] drew2d1:
I used Easeus Partition Master.

Can download for free here.
[Desire Android Development] drew2d1:
Still have the problem. I flashed the file in this thread on my Sense ROM and it worked. But it's not working on a non sense, Oxygen.

I take photos or screenshots and then when i plug it into my computer they are not there.

Any ideas?
[Desire Android Development] :
Im pretty sure this isn't a problem with A2SD, more of a problem with windows not natively being able to see ext partitions.

iirc and im by no means sure windows doesn't like anything apart from it's own native FAT / NTFS file systems and upon seeing anything other than this, it will ask for a format of said device.

although i thought windows just ignored the ext partition and treated the SD as one smaller FAT drive.
[Desire Android Development] :
If using AmonRA you can upgrade the ext2 to ext3 from recovery ;)
[Desire Android Development] drew2d1:
But it's not writing anything to the ext3 partition.

Camera shots and screenshots go in the fat32 partition. I can see other folders in there just nothing created with the camera or screenshot apps appear.

And then when i go back and look using Astro after connecting it to my pc, the files are gone.
[Desire Android Development] :
i have never seen anything like this tbh, are you sure it's not something to do with the PC rather than the phone?
[Desire Android Development] drew2d1:
It worked fine with Sense. Then with Supervillain with the fix from this thread flashed..

I've not changed anything other than flashed a new rom.
[Desire Android Development] jesselian:
Hi , i have the same problem...any solution on this?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
Had this problem before. The solution found:

1. Download the Android SDK and extract

2. Connect the phone to the PC via USB

3. Go into Fastboot (hold 'back key' then power on)

5. On your PC enter the command prompt, navigate to the SDK\tools folder and enter

"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"

"fastboot reboot"
[Desire Android Development] drew2d1:
Am i the only person this is happening to?

Any Sense rom i can take pics/videos, plug it via usb to my computer, open the folder and there they are.

Stock or now Miui, i take photos, plug it in and there are no photos. Sometimes i can reboot and they appear. Sometimes not. Sometimes i get the card is corrupt when i plug it in so Windows scans and fixed.

It's really annoying.
[Desire Android Development] tobydjones:
After stumbling across this thread, I'm now scared to use A2SD/apps2SD/DT A2SD/A2SD+

Do DATA2SD/data2whatever/DATA2EXT have this problem as well?

Or is it fixed now?

If it's fixed, I assume I have to install an update!

Edit: DOH, just seen the big 'this is solved' note on the first post :)
[Desire Android Development] mmceorange:
Windows ignores any partition beyond the first FAT32/NTFS on a flash drive, or in the case of external hard drive, any partition not FAT or NTFS (for the most part)

I have been testing out Redux2 (which is Gingerbread) and have been having the same issue along with several others. A re-wipe and flash fixed most, but not this one. On my break I will poke around to see if the same line exist in this ROM, but in the meantime.. does anybody know if this will work in Gingerbread AOSP?

[EDIT] WORKED! That was stupid simple with Root Explorer... Thanks everyone (especially jodamm)!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] execute_method:
As the title states, screenshots don't show up until after reboot. I tried with gallery3d and the stock galleries.

Drocap works ok.

I'm running Skyraider vanilla. Does anyone have any ideas about this?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] vbhines:
I'm running 2.2 Vanilla - I use Drocap, personally, but I downloaded Shootme to test it out for you. Mine don't show up in the *Gallery* right away, but they are indeed on the sdcard. I used Astro to navigate to /sdcard/Shootme.

I think upon boot the OS scans your SD card for new photos and aggregates them into your gallery. If I'm not mistaken, the only other time it aggregates new photos is if you actually *open* the photo through Astro or something, thus adding it to the OS's database file. Kind of how it takes the OS a while to generate thumbnail previews the first time you boot a fresh ROM install.

Hope this helps...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] execute_method:
Yeah, I knew they were stored, I just thought it's strange cause they were loaded into to the galleries immediately with all other roms I tried including skyraider 1.x.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Namolas:
Your right, it has never been like that before. Its also doing the same thing on The Second Wave. Kind of a pisser.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fader01:
I am using the stock 2.2 leak from 8/1 and that shows the picture in the gallery instantly.

For me the bigger question is how go you tell it what folders to show and not show in the gallery? I font think I need to see my cache folder or some other app folders in there.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Namolas:
Just throw a ".nomedia" file in any folder you don't want to show as media.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fader01:
Wow thanks a lot!!! Worked perfect
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] invisiblek:
Also there is a program called sdrescan in the market that will help. Gotta manually run it though
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Teksu:
There is an app in the market called "gallery enabler" that will do this for you, and let you choose which folders show up in the gallery.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Namolas:
I did not know this. Thank you for the heads up.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaffarali:
I got the desire recently and am very impressed with it, however cannot figure a couple of things

How do I add a map location to a contact? I can locate myself on the map but I don't know how to add that location to a contact.

Also, on the iPhone, I could tap on top of the screen to scroll back to the top. Can you do that with android?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kleptomaniac:
Hi I was in the same boat as you with the iPhone then jumped to the Desire. I'm not sure about the maps with contacts but in the browser if you press menu the address bar will show up at the top of your screen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
I am not sure you can add location info to a contact by an option in maps but contacts do link to maps if the address is entered in to the contact and they become navigable using google nav. Sorry if you already know this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrew2106:
I think what you're describing is a feature of google latitude. Once you sign up for it, you can see the location of your friends who have latitude on your phone via google maps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doliveras:
If what you want is information on the location of known persons at any time, this is a feature of Google Latitude, all you need to do is sign in and you get the position of all your known contacts (if they allow this).

If what you want is a way to navigate to the address of the contact, If you inform the address on the contact information Google Navigator will allow you to navigate to the destination.

I have not found any equivalent to this, all you can achieve is showing the nav var touching the menu buttton, but you can't scroll back to the top of the page with one single movement.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
You can add businesses as contacts if they are visible on maps but if you want to add an address to a contact you will need to do that from the people app.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petermgates:
I thought you just had to add a postal address to their contact information. Once that's done it will give you an option to "View ... address".
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajaffarali:
Thanks for the responses. In Dubai, we have pretty bad adressing system and about the only way is to arrive at the destination and add it. That's what I used to do on the iPhone by dropping in a pin andc adding that to a contact

[HD2 General] redbull17:
I searched all over XDA, but i can not find anything about how to use my own e-reader with the e-reader tab.

Is it possible to use the tab and to see which books you have AND when you tap the book it opens your own e-reader ? In my case that would be Freda.

Hope that anyone can help me with this !
[HD2 General] redbull17:
anyone please ??
[HD2 General] smeddy:
Sorry buddy, I'm not a pro, but from reading around here it's not very possible for people to customise tabs so much.

However I'm giving this a bump because I have the exact same wish.

I'd also love something similar with a 'Video' tab, where i can flick through my videos and then launch them in CorePlayer/TCPMP.
[HD2 General] redbull17:
And my last bump here...
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
I'm just wondering whether a creating a widget for this in Cookie's Home Tab might work well?

[Nexus One General] pyr0technicien:
Hi everyone.

First, I apologies for my bad english, but I'm french :)

So here is the problem :

Last week my trackball light up in blue, I tried to unlock the screen by pressing the power button but nothing happened ( blue trackball was the color of a new messsage ) so I pulled out the battery, and when I started the phone up it bugged.. screen was completly ****ed up, it was showing a red or a green screen.

after some hours, I started again, the phone started in safe mode and was all times rebooting.

Some hours after, the phone was only booting on the bootloader ( like if I was pressing the trackball )

When I entered in the recovery of amon ra, I could'nt select anything with the trackball ( i can move into the different selection, but I can't click on anything ) I can feel the " click " but nothing happened.

Now that I'm back home, I tired to reboot my phone by fastboot reboot, there the phone is launching quite well but in safemode. I can't strat it correctly.

If I shut it down, and press the power button, it return again on the bootloader.

I really don"t know what I can do. The sellers on ebay does'nt answer me when I ask him the warrantly :(

EDIT : I can acces the safe mode from my computer by taping " fastboot reboot" but the click trackball does'nt answer into android too

Must I open my phone ?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Looks like your trackball button is faulty and stuck in "on" position. The problem you're describing is most likely HW.
[Nexus One General] pyr0technicien:
I bought it on ebay, and the guy who sell it to me, does'nt answer anymore, without any warrantly htc wont take it back :(

what are my options ? dismantle it by myself ?
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
Most probably so, unless you can find a workshop that agrees to repair the phone for a reasonable price.
[Nexus One General] xm0is3sx:
put some water on the trackball and push it down and move it around this happened tomine also and it is because of dust collecting on it and it messes up the sensors :(
[Nexus One General] Mi|enko:
I think, rather than water, I'd try some rubbing alcohol or something. . .
[Nexus One General] pyr0technicien:
I tried water and alcohol, but still the same, I think there is something broken in my phone :(

I will send it tomoroww and I hope they won't say anything for the warrantly

Can any one help me? Every time I plug in my car charger into my desire, Car Home seem keep launching itself regardless closing it. I cant find the way to turn the auto run off. (i got a rooted desire with LeeDroid 1.8 installed)
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
I have read something about this being to do with magnets in the dock in the car. Other than not using the dock or removing the embedded magnets (or uninstalling) then Car Home will run as soon as the phone detects the magnets in the holder. I may just be chatting crap however LOL
[Desire General] sbdags:
Have you gone to the settings of the car phone app and turned off auto launch?
[Desire General] glimpsofreality:
i have, but there are only two options there, 1) always show disclaimer, 2) system settings which takes me to mobile defailt settings menu which doesnt have car home settings
[Desire General] al89nut:
This weird as there are people out there trying to get the desire to do this!

There are no magnet in the desire though (I think)
[Desire General] glimpsofreality:
you are right, but the problem is i want my desire to do I want it to do, means i would like to turn off or on the autorun for car home
[Desire General] jamesmcuk:
the Desire does not have magnets in it but can detect magnetism hence the metal detector apps that you can download.
[Desire General] sbdags:
I have 4 options in my car phone app :confused: one is auto launch :confused:

You have HTC's Car Panel, as opposed to Google's Car Home - both do pretty much the same thing though.

I personally found 'custom car home' more friendly, specially it allows you to add your own apps, and lets you select your own navigation, as i got copilot live and navigon

[Desire General] glimpsofreality:
Its free in the market
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
I read somewhere that the it launcher due to one of the pins in the car charger, that is or is not present on a standard data usb cable, This cause it to launch, Well so i've read.
[Desire General] glimpsofreality:
1- standard car home doesnt let u choose ur own navigation, which is pretty lame, 2- its auto run is extremely annoying. 'custom car home' a lot better and friendly, also u can set it as default car home
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popepope:
Hello,

I just bought a new desire from an auction site like ebay, seller saying it is locked to Vodafone; I bought it since I have a sim card from Vodafone Romania and assumed stupidly that will work.

The phone seems to be from Vodafone Malta. I am saying this since there is a desktop shortcut on the phone desktop leading to the Vodafone website in Malta.

I called Vodafone in Romania and they provided the PUK code for my SIM card, but it didnt do the trick.

I got a code from one of the sites mentioned by many and it didnt work.

Then I went ahead and rooted the phone...got the gold card created, etc etc and in the end installed a new ROM (version 3.1 from MoDaCo). Even now the phone is still locked, hence I believe is something that I do not understand in terms of how phones can be locked by various operators.

Would really appreciate if somebody can help me understand how is this working?

As options, should I use a different baseband then, etc? I am a bit lost since I thought that if I am flashing the phone and install a new "neverlocked" ROM version then it will be fine. Or maybe try to flash the Vodafone UK original RUU file and then try again with the IMEI based codes as it seems like there are people getting unlocked for Vodafone in UK?

My current system looks like this:

- firmware: 2.1-update1

- baseband: 32.36.0028U_4.06.00.02_2

- kernel: 2.6.29-bravo-mck-r1

- build: 1.21.MCR.2

- software: MoDaCo custom ROM r3.1

Any clue on what is triggering the network/sim lock out of those elements? or nothing to do with this approach? What is the "part" of my phone that needs to unlock the sim card and connect to the network (maybe I can change that so it is able to connect to Vodafone Romania at least)

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
As far as I am aware the Network lock is independent of the firmware and as such this will have no effect on the lock status. The only way to unlock phones is with either the official code or a vulnerability in the firmware (as discovered in the iphone).

I have unlocked a load of iphones but when it came to the old motorola v50 I had to pay £5 to http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/ for the code. I can only say that their codes worked for me and that there are many scam sites out there when it comes to unlocking, so maybe the first ones you tried for a code were not genuine.

Hope this helps

James
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popepope:
What happen though if one doesnt know what is the network that the phone is locked to? I was let's say lucky to assume that it is Vodafone Malta as there was this link on the phone's desktop.

Actually my question is more around how to unlock the phone with little or no dependency on the network where the phone is locked.

I red some articles that in some cases there is a big play for the baseband as this can "dictate" the way the phone is connecting to the network, however I am just starting to look into that and it might take some time, hence more opinions are very much welcomed.

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
If I was you I would try flashing the roms as posted earlier but if you can wait then I would email HTC with the IMEI and ask who it is locked too.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popepope:
Thanks so much for the suggestion with contacting HTC for telling me where is it locked...not sure if they would know this based on the IMEI, but will give it a try for sure. The thing is that I already flashed the ROM and it is still locked, or maybe I missed your point on flashing the ROMs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
No I think you are right that the flashing wont help with a lock problem but HTC Should know who they locked their phones too. I could be wrong but I think HTC do all the programming pre shipment. If anyone knows different I am happy to be corrected?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popepope:
Coming back with HTC's reply to my question about where is the phone locked (provided my IMEI)

Here is the answer:

"Dear Mr.Popescu, Thank you for contacting HTC. Kindly note that your device is not SIM locked and is not network branded. Your device is manufactured for Czech Republic and is HTC branded. S/N:HT05XPL08419 IMEI:xxxxxxxx. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again."

Funny part is that my phone looks to be branded by Vodafone Malta (just the soft not something on the case) as I mentioned about the Voda link leading to Malta's website and they mentioned that the phone left HTC without a lock and to the Czech Republic.

Anybody heard about gsm operators that are locking the phones themselves in HTC's case? If they know how to lock them, maybe someone knows how they do that and becomes easier to unlock? :)

Thanks for the help,

Sorin.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zlayaa:
The IMEI could be blacklisted. You can check at this site: http://www.amta.org.au/pages/amta/Check.the.Status.of.your.Handset

Dunno how to see the IMEI on HTC phones though.. does anyone know? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popepope:
Tried that link and the message is that there is no lock (reported by somebody so that the carrier goes ahead and blocks the IMEI)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesmcuk:
Hi again mate. I am impressed HTC answered so promptly thats great news they gave too. Just so we can all be clear on the type of lock you are experiencing can you tell us or better still photograph the screen and show / tell us the lock wording. Word for word mate including all punctuation if not posting photo.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] popepope:
Hey, here is the sequence:

The following happens when I turn on the phone with my Vodafone Romania sim card in it:

- I am requested for the PIN code, I enter that and then move on as the PIN is accepted

- Message saying "Unlocking SIM card...", takes about 1-2 seconds

- Message on the screen: "Network locked"

- I "drag" on the screen and get to enter the code

- Keyboard is up now and message changed into "SIM Network unlock PIN"

That's all, then the code that I got from gsmliberty.net, providing my IMEI and the fact that the phone is locked to Vodafone in Malta, is not working hence here I am on the forum :)
