[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quadmachine:
I tried reformatting the card but no change... anyways I found a temp solution to the problem.

It seems that FAT32 to FAT32 works OK, as opossed to HFS+ to FAT32, so I just copy the content to an USB drive, and then copy it from the USB drive to the SD card... no errors that way, although it is kinda pain in the ass...

cheers!
[Captivate General] pside15:
There is 12GB free on my internal SD and I am trying to copy a 4GB file over but I keep getting an error saying that the disk is full. I know it isn't full. When I click on properties of the SD my PC says there is over 12GB free space but it gives me that error when I try to copy the file over. Anyone got any ideas?
[Captivate General] Ik Desire:
I think your sd card has fat32 file system. 4gb is too large for fat32. 1 gb is max i think, maybe a bit more not much.

[Captivate General] pside15:
Thanks for your reply. Is there a way to get large files on there? How am I supposed to put HD movies on my phone if the file is too big to transfer over?
[Captivate General] Ik Desire:
Maybe split the file, but i think full hd is a much for your tiny phone Screen. You should check what resolution your phone has and convert the movie to that size. The output file should be smaller. Maybe small enough, but i think you still have to split that.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
Our captivate screens run at 800x480 resolution when playing a movie (landscape). Which is fairly close to the 16:9 480p resolution of 854x480 (which is actually what the Droid/Droid 2/Droid X sits pretty at). Basically, if you were to put a standard 720p video file (or even 480p) you would still things very sharply and they would be well under your 4 GB file limit. There is no need for a 1080p video on a screen incapable of showing that many pixels

As for getting around the 4 GB file size limit, the only file systems that support it are the extX file systems (our phones only natively support ext2), NTFS (not supported), HFS (not supported), and a few others, but we would need an ext2 partition which I don't even know if it's possible to change the format of the SD card to that AND have it recognized automatically by the phone.
[Captivate General] sdimezq8:
I 2nd that, sounds you are limited by the FAT32 4GB max file size.
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
I'd help you out with links but I'm on my phone and to lazy to go through that process.

Yes, you can change the file system to ext 3 I believe. You can also read the handbrake thread to get the right settings to keep your clip under 2 gigs and still play nicely on your screen. You don't have to use handbrake, just get the settings. I personally like handbrake though.
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
Many people are asking this question repeatedly, but it comes down to this:

1) The SD Card is running FAT32, which doesn't like 4GB+ files (even a few bytes).

2) The phone has a roughly 480p screen. Why are we all trying to shove 1080/720 content onto it?
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
+1

even if your argument is to use it for DLNA, it only supports 720p and the RCA out only does... what? 480i? 720p files for movies are almost always under 4GB unless you're transcoding poorly. Even mkv with 7.1 channel audio streams for me have ended up being well under the 4GB cap
[Captivate General] ionutz6:
2. because most of the movie files are taken from the internet and they are mostly codeed in 4.37GB sized files, as per a DVD size. Since we don't really want to spend time and convert or cut such a movie file in little pieces, hence the desire to fit 4.37GB files on the N1.
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
1) this isn't an N1.

2) You're lazy. Stop pirating and make use of FU under DMCA.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] DroidHeadNY:
Just rooted my wife's Eris and now I've hooked her into modding her phone. She was looking around at some different themes and found the Droiddoespink rom. I know there are alot of dev's out there that only like to theme thier personal rom but for the sake of being truely customizable it would be super beneficial if we could get zip aligned themes only.

I'm specifically looking for theme's like droiddoespink or possibly purple color theme's or other Girly type theme's. I know it's hard to develop a theme that could apply to multiple rom's but if the great themer's on the forum here could pick maybe the most popular rom's and theme them we could choose which rom.....and which theme we would like.

I tend to like .zip aligned theme's better than metamorph because I feel it's easier and there is less to do (and less to go wrong) when installing.

Anyone that can provide me with something, Thanks in advance and I would greatly appreciate it!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
MetaMorph is actually better for going across ROMs as for what you are asking, a custom framework apk and update would have to be made for each ROM. MetaMorph causes less damage and can be easier for all users across.

If you want to learn how to do either, I can teach you. Will only take a few mins and you will be surprised how easy it really is. PM me if you are interested. I am done themeing for the Eris as I sold mine but I never mind teaching people. I always say more themers the better.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Conap:
If you want to let DroidKevlar teach you how to make the metamorph file It would be fine with me if you or anyone else that wants too pull the png's from my DroidDoesPink rom and make it into a metamorph file....I just don't have the time to do it myself.

Give me a few days. Ill try to finish it before I go on my trip this weekend.

Which ROM do you guys want this for? 2.1 based or CM/2.2 based?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] droidkevlar:
Was going to do this but gotta love @$$hole users. Im done with all this. If anyone wants help doing it, hit me up, but me putting my time for free to do this, not so much anymore. I lost that love. Sorry guys. But it will be pretty simple, just time consuming. Conap has given the OK to do it so anyone can do this. Just make sure you give him credit.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] mjb413:
My wife would love this theme. I have done some html and java/javascript back in the day. I have no idea where to even start with this. Ive got a little time and maybe a little money for coffee...lol. Looked at the Droid Does Pink and my wife thought it was awesome.

Could this put halt the development of android? Could this permanently damage android? What will android be without java running it?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] stangri:
So what?! Sun has been milking Microsoft to the tune of $1 million *a day* about 10 years ago for some java violation.

I think the platform is important enough for Google to settle/pay up. After all, they need more mobile devices with the internet access to generate more ad revenue. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] GeekBrat:
Yes but Microsoft as part of their settlement stopped development of their JVM completely. That's why you need to install java on new PC's before running java programs. If this goes the same way as the Microsoft settlement; then I would assume it would put an end to JVM core that makes android work.

That said, I belive Google will find a way through this.

-KAF
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Ace42:
Java is a vital part to android, if google has to remove it then it will threaten the OS pretty badly. I'm wondering if they waited this long since android is more popular now.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] tubaking182:
they obviously wanted to see how android did before they did anything about it, and when oracle acquired Sun they decided to say something to google before it got out of hand. android has just surpassed iphone in market share so i would think google would just pay up and maybe even buy some large chunk of sun/java/oracle, if they decide not to pay up then yes we are gonna be hurting real soon for android devices and frankly i don't think i can go back to a winmo device and i will NEVER put in iphone in my pocket as my daily phone. (and then there's symbian but that's a joke anyways)

Hi everyone, I have fixed the latest CM Recovery, files are attached below,

Thanks to defer from #teamdesire @freenode.

Download and flash with fastboot,

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

There is also an alternative version which may work for people who get the black screen, please try the alternative version if the first one doesnt work :)
[Streak 5 Android Development] Warpedflash:
Worked great for me!
[Streak 5 Android Development] radomir11:
I wanted to test but after the upgrade to 2.1 is not an android I run mode fastboot...........
[Streak 5 Android Development] be_vigilant:
I tried to install this. All looked to be written OK.

I hold down vol up\down and power on.

The basic recovery menu appears. I select option 2. The screen now just goes black and I have to remove battery to get back into android. Do I actually need a file on the SD card for the CM menu to be displayed?

UK unlocked streak direct from dell - BB=00 - Rom= 4399

Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] AdamG:
No but you may need the alternative recovery I made, try that one instead.
[Streak 5 Android Development] be_vigilant:
Thanks for the quick response.

However I still get a black screen using the alt too.

When I flash 1.8.1.7 that loads up OK and I get the CM menu

I just get a black screen with both your fixed and alt versions. :(

I guess it works for some though. Thanks again mate.
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
first one works for me with the 2.1 rom

I did get black screen then I pressed volume key and power button..

if I pressed the power button while in the menu I got the black screen again, so repeated the volume then power to get the menu back

so if you get black screen try volume up or down and then power button,

of course the clockwork recovery is a great way of clearing the cache :D
[Streak 5 Android Development] uvz:
pressing all the button (no camera button) you get blank screen

re-pressing all the button the screen reappears

but, me too, with a sim free 00 Streak, I can't do anythings, no menu, no update, nothings:confused:
[Streak 5 Android Development] uvz:
the same here
[Streak 5 Android Development] AdamG:

[Streak 5 Android Development] kwaaq:
Hmm...

Been working with a trashed recovery partition for a few days.. No biggy, tried pulling off what was on recovery_1 and placing it on etc.. No luck..

But yeah, the first image did work for me (though nandroid failed, my filesystem is pretty trashed.) Do a bit of screwing around replacing files in the system directory and kill my system. I'd already 'fixed' the failed nandroid backup, so I go to restore it, only to see the standard recovery has somehow resurrected itself and clockwork was no longer on.

Magic I tell you.
[Streak 5 Android Development] AdamG:
Nandroid only fails because of the path to /data, I should be able to fix this.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cemian:
how to make a stock recovery image?

Hi I was just wondering how do we go about making a dump of our stock recovery images? Would be nice to be able to backup and restore back to stock if something goes wrong. I have a US streak with BB=31 and Build 6601

Hi,

I tried and tried but still cant get this to flash steve 1.8.1...streakmode work fine though...but I'm still curious to know why...:)

Is it normal to have the "home, menu and back button" flashing intermittently while I'm in clockwork mode? sometimes it just reboots by itself..

Best Regards,

Peter
[Streak 5 Android Development] carlosjcar:
A new version of this recovery has been posted the streak 7 forum with correct orientation (landscape) and all working. Even Rom manager works.

Can that work be incorporated with yours?

I really like the extra options available in clockwork but this version for the 5 feels

unfinished.

I do not mean to say your work is no good. However it seems to me development has stopped.

Thank you anyways for what you accomplished.

when i try this.. the streak hangs on the <waiting for device>

why huh? any one can help me? i am able to root it without any problem but when i comes to flashing the rom... i really cannot know what is happening...

DHD is so easy but this dell is a tough nut to crack man.

I ki da got stuck doin this but now ok.... ensure latest drivers n pc synch installed from dell...on my laptop I turned off wifi, the paused my antivirus. spent hours tryin to get driver for android bootloader interface started with no joy. wondered how come could root ok but not use flashboot command at first page. more reading..and using the command with id code worked.ie

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.clockworkmod.img.

must use the 0x413c in the command each time to work. only using the android composite interface here on windows 7 64 bit n all good. hope u get sorted soon

thanks mate. ive now gone to 345 anyway......319 build was good n stable for me...but i goina try the 345 as my "first" up/downgrade lol.....seems to be same problem there but im sure 345 will get more fixes and support than the 319.....

Problem.

Ok So i rooted my phone succesfully and then installed clockwork mod and then the recovery (so it says).

When i try to install from sd or boot into recovery it just reboots the phone and does nothing?

any help?
[Streak 5 Android Development] Neo3D:
I have version 347 and neither version works on my Streak. I am able to see the recovery menu and yes, it's upside down. But, when I select any option, the screen goes blank and it gets stuck there.
[Streak 5 Android Development] TheManii:
Try streakmod, it tends to be more reliable (if it doesnt work you can always flash back to CWM)
[Streak 5 Android Development] prayread:
streakmod works for 347. Able to install superuser.zip and got rooted.

But it stucks on "backing up firstboot ..." forevever when I tried to do a fullbackup.

Im trying to back up my stock rom before i flash a custom one, and i have 2.2 347, 00. I tried using ROM manager and it said flashed clockwork recovery, but when i reboot into recovery or i try to back up the device just reboots normal, so not into recovery mode nor does it create a backup? I have ubuntu 10.10 so i dont know how to flash clockwork or streakmod manually in fastboot?

NEED help

[Streak 5 Android Development] ale922:
Hey everyone, just got my streak today, im trying to flash cwm but dont really know how to since there isnt a guide. The op just assumes you know how to enter fastboot. So what I did is power on while holding volume up/down, and im guessing thats fastboot right?

Since you only have the option to flash an update.pkg, am I supposed to rename the cwm to update pkg? Once I do this, how do I enter cwm recovery?

By the way, im on an unlocked, 2.2.2 streak
[Streak 5 Android Development] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
To get into fastboot, hold down the camera button while turning the Streak on, then plug the cable in. Volume up and down get you into recovery.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
Nandroid is working from the command line

@cemian, I have just confirmed that nandroid is working from the command line. Do you have the clockworkmod recovery installed? If so, please run the command:

adb shell

Once at the shell prompt, type:

nandroid backup

At this point you should see that nandroid is performing a backup, however, it will get to a point that it will loop and display garbage. All you have to do is press "ctrl + c" on your keyboard and it will continue, then complete.

If successful, you will see a new folder on your SD Card named: clockworkmod. Please post the contents and provide a link. Be aware that the system.img will be 100+mb.

If this works, we will have our first 6601 Stock Images!! **crossing fingers**
[Streak 5 Android Development] fards:
use

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img

that tells it what device to use (413c is dell). in windows thats the only way I can use fastboot.
[Streak 5 Android Development] quikt:
Apologies for sounding like a noob ahead of time. What is clockworkmod and what is it needed for exactly? Will this work on a US dell streak? I am coming from android on a touch pro 2 and have not heard of it before but it appears to be useful in the flashing process.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cemian:
Permission Denied :(

Each time I enter an adb shell I have not been able to get su access...every command gives me permission denied... nandroid backup does not work since permission denied...and i cannot run it from the command prompt since it doesnt recognize nandroid as a valid switch for adb.. any idea how to overcome this?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
I am assuming you are trying to run these commands after you have booted your device normally. If so, it won't work. The stock 6601 doesn't allow root commands to run. However, if you flash the clockworkmod recovery, you will be able to use su after booting into recovery mode (holding down volume up + volume down during power up). And besides, the clockworkmod recovery has nandroid built-in. You will need this to back up your system.

Let me know how it goes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cemian:
no luck :(

I had previously flashed the clockwork recovery rom 2.5.0.1 with rom manager and it said successful but I could never access it at the boot menu...I now tried the 2 recovery files at the beginning of this thread and both times I got the black screen...nothing seems to work yet...
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
I had the same issue with the files attached to this thread, but when I started digging through files I have previously downloaded, and came across a version that worked. Hopefully it will help you also. See attached file.

Flash with command:

fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.clockworkmod.img

Good luck!
[Streak 5 Android Development] cemian:
still no luck :(

I still get the black screen with that one too...but I am not using fastboot...I am copying the file and renaming it to Update.pkg and placing it in the root directory of the sdcard then running the update from the boot menu...
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
HA! Thats your problem!! These images have to be flashed via fastboot. Try it with fastboot and let me know how it goes.
[Streak 5 Android Development] cemian:
Success! I think.. :)

I was able to access the clockwork menu now after fastbooting that last clockwork recovery image 1.8.x.x and did a full nandroid backup even though I was getting the E:Can't find MISC error message and the 2 lights were flashing back and forth..it saved 6 files to the sdcard..boot.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.img

which one would you need?
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
NICE!!! Ok, we need:

system.img

boot.img

recovery.img

nandroid.md5

The other two (cache.img and data.img) will most likely have your personal information stored. We don't need those.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MSigler:
Mine hangs on data.img, I'm about to give it another go.
[Streak 5 Android Development] mistadman:
When you say hang, what do you mean exactly? If its just looping, press Ctrl + c, and it should finish successfully.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MSigler:
I mean from the actual recovery mode on the phone.

Also, it only works once after flashing recovery, it appears as if it needs an update.pkg on the card or something.

First boot, I get the stock recovery, hit install update.pkg, and it boots in CM recovery, after that, I get the "Dell recovery - Insert an SD card with update.pkg" message. Reflashing recovery from fastboot seems to fix it.

Could be that I'm running 2.1 on a US Streak.
[Streak 5 Android Development] MSigler:
Looks like I got a good backup of at least most stuff, it still hangs, but it appears to have gotten boot, recovery, and system, and the file sizes look right.
