Are you sure that the Windows created two partitions?

Windows format creates two FAT's or file allocation tables. WinMo creates just one.

Could that be what you were seeing? Or maybe you were using a partition manager software program in windows?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Johnsel:
I most certainly don't mean to be rude to any of you.

The only thing that annoyed me was TS posting his theory as if it was a true working solution and that it could make any problem dissapear, which just isn't the case. Instead he makes unknowing people screw around with software they don't understand and has the potential to **** your entire harddrive up.

And because everyone wants a good working Android version on his phone chances are a lot of people try it.

Then i get things thrown at me like "Way to go with your first post" and such so yeah i might act a little rude then.

What i wanted to state in my previous post is litterally that I don't care if you go and experiment with this kind of stuff, it's good to try and find stuff out by yourself. Just don't go and start posting unproven (and in this case even faulty) theories that can have much greater consequences then you foresee, like TS.

edit:

Re-reading the post i see why you found it a little rude, i've chosen some words that insinuate sarcasm, I didn't mean it like that, it's just that english is not my first language. I've rewritten it to a more fitting tone now.

Also, I only now see you placed part of the message in the title thingy, I thought you were posting that chart like "here is the difference" instead of "i tested for difference".
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jenol:
I was only stating my opinion on the matter and yes this is for people who have some knowledge of Linux and this would be the proper way to format the SD since it is all Linux basses android that is. I didn't mean to be rude but I've been messing and Modding these android devices since the beginning so I'm no noob whatsoever. Just passing along my opinion like I stated. And as some have stated that this doesn't make there card faster nowhere did I say that. And now back to what I was talking about in my experience doing it this way has netted me to having no issues with android.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jenol:
Yes I have been messing with android since the beginning and most not all of the builds of android for the hd2 have the ext 2 created when you first load the Tom therefore creating an ext2 on the card and the way the builds are for now the easiest way to get rid of the ext2 is with Linux so there's no conflicts when changing builds. So if I offended any one wasn't my intent.

I dont think so All I did was Right Click and Format on Windows
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnboatcat:
Which version of Windows are you using?

The format window on my Win 7/64 machine only allows for one partition in a FAT32 format. Are you saying that after you format the SD card it has two drive designations like E: and F:?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bangsters:
Win7, WinXp, Win Vista -- if you format the sdcard as fat32 there is only one partition. The native formatting program used does not allow you to repartition the card. It is merely formatting the sdcard not repartitioning it.

Ubuntu - Yes you can use this to partition and format to Fat32 or ext2, ext3, etc. but is really no need to. It will confuse those who are actually trying to figure this out themselves (newbie f you call them). Coz if they are familiar with this they wouldn't be looking for a way to format the sdcard in the first place.

Also, the reason it's supposed to be formatted fat32 is because WinMo does not recognize Ext2 and since we run linux via haret, we need fat32 (for now at least). You can create multiple partitions for your sdcard, then then again is that really necessary for those only wanting to get android working on their HD2s with no knowledge of linux/ubuntu? I don't think it's proper to have them install a new OS more so learn it just to be able to run android.

To the OP, you said you were only trying to state your opinion, but from the looks of the thread it appears you were trying to teach them with incorrect information. Then you blatantly call another person a noob with sarcasm just because he corrected you while having only 1 post. FYI, I've been in this forum for years, but I only registered my username only a couple months ago -- does that make me a noob?

just my .02
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnboatcat:
Could you explain to me why a windows FAT32 write erase format

would not completely wipe out the ext2 on an SD card? It writes new data, 1's, to the complete data space. This is not a smart a__ question. I would really like to understand this.

The reason I posted the speed test is because I have a thread that speed tests different format methods for HD2 Android. This was another method that was suggested, so I tested it and included it in the thread. I posted it in this thread because it was a test of this method and might provide ppl with additional information.

I just don't understand how Linux can create something on an SD card data space that would not be totally wiped by a destructive low level erase format in windows. Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kdeguy:
sigh! i guess there's really no point trying to make you understand.

in the builds, that linux filesystem resides in an image. that image can be seen taking space from within windows. ergo, formatting gets rid of the image and any filesystem therein. Long as its running, its operating like a livecd with the difference that its placing a crated image in flash.

a self-created ext based partition is not necessarily the one (in fact, most certainly not the one) android will place system and user files in, it will simply create another image using the leftover space.

I have been using eugene's update.zip to get into clockwork mod.(along with the engineering build) It works fine.

My problem is it contains an old version of superuser.

I had been using su-2.3.3. But every time I go into clockwork mod for anything I'm reverted back to su-2.1.

Which doesn't even work at this point, it actually breaks the app altogether, causing repeated FC.

What I've been doing is just reflashing su-2.3.3 to get back up and running, but I was wondering

is there a new update.zip for getting into clockwork mod?

Something that doesn't even have su installed.

Personally I use ROM Manager by Clockwork in the market. Koush keeps it updated very well and there is no need to keep update.zip on your sd card with this app, it allows you to reboot directly into recovery from the app.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apollostees:
WOW!!

Your sooo right!! I finally gave rom manager a shot and your right this is waaayy easier.:D:D

I had considered using it but I was unsure about how it could access the recovery seeing as the MT3GS has got a weird nand thingy.

Also I'm so used to the G1 and N1's aman ra recovery's that I always looked at clockwork as being lame. But I stand corrected, I'm going to buy the pay version.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJD319:
I agree, I do the same thing. I love how well it works to it's perfect for reboot recovery too, now extra steps in the process of getting to recovery. I do keep the update.zip on my sdcard just in case something goes bad I can get back in without relying on my apps loading.

Hi there!

I'm new to this stuff, but here's what I got so far:

Using a HTC Magic (Vodafone) 32B, Fastboot says:

Sapphire PVT 32B SHIP S-ON G

HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)

CPLD-10

RADIO-2.22.19.26I

Jul 31 2009, 15:49:25

I am trying to load the recovery file "recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0G".

After using Universal Androot successfully I assume the phone is now rooted (is there a way to make sure?).

I then tried to apply the img using the androidsdk via cmd, but the fastboot command fails with "FAILED (remote: not allow)".

The method using a terminal on the phone fails, too:

"permission denied".

Next thing I tried was to downgrade from 1.6 to 1.5 in order to be able to use flashrec. I used an nbh that seems to be just right for my phone

(vf-sappimg-crc24-1.33.0007).

After renaming it and fastbooting the phone, the update(downgrade) installs... but after it's done I get the error message:

Update failed!

Main Version is older.

So my question is: Would a Goldcard make a downgrade possible or am I overlooking something?

(I read somewhere that a goldcard is not neccessary for the 1.33.0007).

Sorry for the long text, just trying to describe as accurately as possible!

Since it took me all day to flash the recovery menu I'd probably screw up my phone installing a new SPL :(

No need for eng spl...

You can flash it from recovery no problem... :0)

But flashing the spl is actual the easiest step... just flash the zip file from recovery and follow the screen-instructions... 15 sec and you got eng spl...

But only do it if you need it!

Just wondering, did anyone else notice that when you try going to max brightness (from settings->display) it only goes to 99%? And if you try going to 100% with widgets, the screen gets brighter all the way till 99% and then when it hits 100 it gets a lot dimmer

Anyone else noticed this? Or is this bug specific to my poor unrooted X10a ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roaringhere:
I went to the Setting -> Display and Un-check Auto but I did not get the % scale, it just a scroll bar without any number in it, but it went all the way up and down as well. Maybe depends on the firmware in the phone...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pngface:
Yea you can't see the number over there.. you need a widget for that. But if you slide it to the maximum possible, and then look at the number in a widget(I've tried 4 so far, so its not a widget problem) it says 99%, if you make that 100 through the widget, it dims.

I guess SE knew this and made the max brightness 99%?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junkk29:
Yea it happens to me too. I use Quick settings and when I slide to 100%, it dims. But it's not really a big deal cuz I set my phone at 18-20%. Saves a lot of battery ;)

Now you can connect to your Desire wirelessly and perform ADB commands.

There's a new app called ADBWireless.

instead of using a usb cable to connect to your device via adb, you use a wireless connection. it's only mandatory that your laptop/pc and your desire are connected to the same wi-fi connection. it's useful in my opinion!

I love this app and i use it. But i have some security concerns. When you connect to another Wifi which is not your home wifi - For example at the university - everybody should be able to scan for devices and try to connect then and has whole access to the phone. What about that? Especially because with that app it is very easy to forget about disabling it when you connect to new wifis. What about setting password which you must deliver on connecting? Or for example accept new incoming connections?
