Maybe it will help if I give more details.

I have my phone connected to my laptop via USB, and am using adb shell to gain shell access to the phone.

If I cd to /data, it looks empty. I know it's not empty, because one of my apps stores data there.

I have read elsewhere that there may be a version of su that I can download and install via adb push. Could I use this to gain root access via adb shell and then use that to remount the /data file system so that I could modify files there?

It just occured to me that maybe I could use adb push to overwrite the files. I'll look into that too, but I'm sure I would get permission problems with that too.

when will the official froyo rom come out? If I flashed this leak build, will I be able to still update to the official froyo when it comes out? This is what stopping me from flashing the leaked build. But, still get excited about this leaked build.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colton5419:
You can always flash the leaked build now, and then once news of the official build is known you can use the odin one click flash back to JF6 and then update.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcx6:
Do not think anyone know when the finial build will be out, it they do they are not telling.

With the first update that came out and failed for a large amount of people here, your guess will be as good as mine or anyone else, if Froyo will fail in the update process also.

NO WAI !

this is well known i have had one since the evo release well not since release about 2 weeks later
[EVO 4G Accessories] jdogg836:
You didn't have the rugged, I can tell you the Rugged case started arriving about a week ago and the sku was added to our inventory about 3 weeks ago.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aggie6600:
I actually bought one today. Well I got the "Innocase II Combo". I thought it was a Seidio knock off, but the quality it really good. Looks and feels just like my friend's. Except it has "Pt" on the back instead of "Seidio"

So are they made by Seidio and rebranded as Platinum for Best Buy?

Chris
[EVO 4G Accessories] rutter9:
Yes they are rebranded for retail sales. Same product

Sent from my Evo.
[EVO 4G Accessories] srtpusher:
says seidio on the bottom of the packaging...
[EVO 4G Accessories] -viperboy-:
Yup, it's a new product we carry. Sporkman, I can guarantee you don't have it. It's really durable... hard case with a silicone over it and a hard "claw" goes over the silicone. And of course there is a holster. I put my EVO in it and threw it 20ft onto to hard floor. Completely fine, great product! They run $50. Don't have the SKU on hand, I will post it here tomorrow when I go to work if it hasn't been posted yet. I don't think its on bestbuy.com yet either.

haha i did the same except i didn't put it in the holster...on a dare cuz i showed my friend and he said: "if its so rugged, throw it" so i underhand tossed it at a tree about 10 ft away. In hindsight if it had it the screen i would have been borked hahahaha. Good product
[EVO 4G Accessories] verse187:
I cant find the battery
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I'm sure I've seen this already from someone on this site... but that sounds like one huge case.... the seidio innocase surface is a little bulky for me.
[EVO 4G Accessories] 00_MACKIE_00:
I have this Pt case. I paid 47 dollars at Best Buy in Daytona Beach, FL 3 weeks ago. It's like a hundred cases in one. You can either just use the slide on case so you can use the kickstand, or you can put the rubber case over it that covers up the headphones and charging and hdmi ports and camera and then attach the claw to it. Then if you want you can use the holster which I use as well. It's awesome and it does not feel like a cheap ebay knockoff. I have always been picky with my cases and when I found this at Best Buy I was so happy. There was one left and I snagged it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] t3project:
umm yea, im pretty sure tons of people have it. myself included since it was released in june from siedio.

ATT Tilt. Running DZO's 09-09-10 nbh and 02-09-10 froyo system.

Phone runs flawlessly. Everything that I've tried works, extremely fast and responsive. It's all perfect except for one thing. Randomly upon rebooting I'm greeted with hundreds of the following errors.

Followed by

After that android boots but immediately gives force close errors for system, bluetooth, google framework, messaging, and others. The phone is unusable until android is reinstalled.

There seems to be no apparent cause or warning. It may work for 2 weeks or less than 24 hours. Also doesn't seem to matter if there are lots of apps installed or just none other than what it ships with (other than google voice).

edit: I see DZO released a new kernel yesterday so I'm trying that for now but since I can't find this error on these forums (or anywhere) it's probably not on his list of things to fix.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Millence:
That it is a problem with the new kernels. The solution is a system on NAND data on EXT2 for now.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] l1q1d:

Thanks a ton! I feel a little slow for not figuring that out but I couldn't find any info for android and yaffs errors. Giving your kernel a shot.

Oh and it may already be in the Atools thread but ubuntu users will also need the package "python-tk" to run it (awesome tool BTW!).

Edit: OK I just may be a little slow. I can't find the kernel at the link you posted, just the nbh and zimage.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] sloniupl:
.nbh is what you are looking for :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] obso:
Thanks, I had my terminology messed up. I thought the kernel was with the core files in the androidinstall.tar

Camera in Froyo??

Just flashed your new Kernel and have not seen any yaffs errors at all.....I was restoring Data almost daily with the older .32 kernel....Everything seems great except I seem to be having problems with the camera. I remember when android was early in development, the camera app would load but then immediately FC. This is something different where as the app never loads and my Kaiser completely hangs, requiring a reboot....

Using your latest kernel, Thoughtlessskyles newest build(based of new DZO Fresh Froyo) and latest radio.

Might flash an older Radio and see if that helps....

Anyone else seeing this awkward behavior??
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zPacKRat:
Yeh the camera issues have not been sorted, switching to video will cause a FC right away where with the camera you can usually get one or two crappy pictures before a FC. Auto focus does not work, I could not get the wheel to work for focus either, add to that that brightness, white balance, etc do not work.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] obso:
It could be a radio problem. Even with the new kernel I can still take pictures using the wheel to focus. Switching to video works for a few seconds now, used to be an instant FC. I'm using either the 1.70 or 1.65 radio (not sure how to tell with nand flashed android).

But even when it takes pictures in focus they are still pretty bad quality.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cnigro1279:
Camera works...

Just reinstalled Thoughtess' new rls and camera works...I'm starting to wonder if it is an app that is breaking the camera. I'm going to reinstall my apps from scratch and test to see when the problem arises....Trying a 170. radio version as well to see how it goes...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] obso:
No such luck. :(

Worked for about a day then I went to use google maps and as soon as the GPS locked my position the phone froze. After that the yaffs errors were back. I tried to replicate the problem but it's worked fine all day. Scratch that, it's back.

I guess I'll stick the data partition on SD as mentioned earlier. How much of a performance hit is it?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
If your phone freezes, and that leads to data corruption, that is different from data corruption when all else is good. Kernel crashes can cause corruption on any r/w filesystem that doesn't support journaling.

So, you got a GPS lock, and your phone froze. We should look into that. Is it reproducible?

Your other data corruption occurrences, do they happen after a crash, or out of the blue?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] obso:
It's not always freezing. Most of the time it's a normal reboot when it happens. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the GPS freeze. It's worked normally all day and I've tried a dozen times today (including the location I had the first lockup).

Now that I've figured out how easy it is to backup and restore the /data partition ( I wasn't aware that's what was getting corrupted) it's not such a catastrophy when it happens. I'll just keep better backups until it gets solved in the kernel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] WarByte:
I've been experiencing a lot of this issues on my Kaiser. I don't know if this info helps but I've been getting it the most when restarting the phone. Sometimes I would start seeing my wallpaper changed to default, some apps start force closing, it gets worse and worse until a lot of processes force close and I am unable to use the phone anymore.

I am using donut 1.6 with latest eclair kernel from dzo. I am unable to flash anything on my phone due to spl problems so I was looking for a solution. I'll attemp the EXT2 on SD and see how it goes. Thanks for the info in the thread.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Grandelama:
I came to the same conclusion after a lot of trials and errors.

The only way to stop FC from popping up on startup after a freeze was to put data on sd card in ext2 partition.

I'm still keeping the system partition on NAND though, and so far so good.

My advice is to use MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition to change partitions on sd card. It is free, it is fast and it is so much more practical than gparted

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathardicnotion:
Hi all! I'm really hoping that some Andriod guru out there can figure out the predicament I've gotten myself into. First a litte background info:

The other day I successfully flashed the new JI5 update to my phone. It worked great, and seems to have at least patched (not fixed) the majority of this phones shortcomings. But of course most of you already know all this.

I attempted to flash the same update to my wife's phone tonight, however as soon as ODIN finished doing it's thing the phone rebooted, and I now seem to be stuck in recovery with the following error:

update media, please wait

E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10(Invalid argument)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:copy default media content failed.

The process I used to flash the phone is pretty standard. Fired up ODIN, used ADB to throw the phone into download mode (Both our phones seem to be HW locked), pushed the update to the phone. The one thing I DID do differently this time was select the Re-Partition option, as I've noticed some strange issues with my phone since throwing JI5 on it. I figured that repartitioning the phone back to it's prestine state might fix the issues. I made sure to use the correct 512 PIT file, which I think I remember reading was responsible for setting up the system partitions, thus I figured I wouldn't have any problems. I've read about many others that routinely repartition their phones, so I didn't think this would be an issue. Her phone was bone stock, aside from being rooted. No OC kernals, lagfixes, etc.

I've tried to throw the phone back into download mode via adb, but it just reboots the device and it immediatly goes into recovery mode. Since the phone still boots and gets into recovery mode I'm thinking it's not bricked, but I'll be damned if I know what to do next!

So how about it, any guru's out there that have seen this problem before? Any way it can be fixed?

Update: Still borked and at wits end! Since I still apparently have the ability to reinstall packages via recovery I'm hoping that there is a way to reflash the OS by utilizing a crafty update.zip file. Based off what I've read so far, I simply need to reflash to stock OS to get things rolling again, but I can't get the damn thing into download mode! So close, yet so far away. Thank you Samsung QA! I guess this is what I get for not clockwork modding her phone prior to working on it. But still, frigging ridiculous that this company is sending out broken hardware and untested products.

If anybody happens to know a way to utilize the recovery console to flash a firmware revision (without using clockworkmod recovery), or possibly how to perform a fix action via ADB, any info you can lend to me would be much appreciated.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathardicnotion:
Bumping for the sake of my sanity.

Anyone have any ideas as to how to fix this thing? I'm a hair's-breadth away from donating this thing to willitblend.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaduma:
First I must scold you for not having Clockwork Recovery Flashed, it is the first thing you do when you have root. Period. Nothing else takes priority over being able to save your phone.

Secondly I must praise you for asking this in Q&A / General, NOT DEV! I FUC*ING HATE THAT! So thanks!

Steps to fix your wife's phone:

Step 1: Download attached zip, and put on phones internal SD. (adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip)

Step 2: Select Re-Install Packages from Stock Recovery Menu.

Step 3: Phone may reboot, if so see step 2. If phone enters clockwork go to step4.

Step 4: Flash Rom. Flash a full rom that is flashable via Clockwork. THAT OR::: try adb reboot download from clockwork.

Step 5: Reroot phone, install clockwork recovery (rom manager on market).

Optional: If all this doesn't work feel free to purchase my Vibrant, link in Sig ;)

Edit: Also don't just do things you don't understand, like check repartition :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathardicnotion:
Thank you sir! You're a saint!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathardicnotion:
Thanks for the fast reply! And yes, I feel retarded for not clockworking her phone. In my defense, I thought I knew what I was doing when I ticked the option, as I had read countless threads about repartioning the phone. I think the problem is that the JI5 update is an incremental update, not a full OS. By repartitioning and flashing I think the process removed some key OS files. Or not, I'm no expert when it comes to this OS.

Anyhoo, I tried pushing the file to the sdcard, however I am getting a permission denied error message. I've verified that the directory exists via the shell command, so I seem to be having some kind of a permissions problem. The root on her phone must have been undone, as when I try to enter SU I get the same permission denied error message. Is there a way around this?

Thank you for all the assistance thus far!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathardicnotion:
So while in recovery mode, I can see both drives showing up in disk manager and windows explorer on my computer, however they are grayed out. Typically at this point one would hit the "mount" button from the dropdown menu on the phone, but obviously this action is currently out of grasp due to my problem. Is there a way to manually mount the sdcard via adb?

I kind of figured that adb pushing stuff to the SDCARD didn't require root access, as I was always able to mount the two stores without root permissions from the phone...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cathardicnotion:
I'm rather curious now. Has any one tried using the adb push command to copy files to the /sdcard directory on their phone without root? Everything I've read makes it sound like this should be possible, unless the phone is just that messed up.

Any and all replies appreciated!

[Fascinate Android Development] jorge3687:
just wanted to report, I just installed the rom and did a wipe data and cache, everything went fine, restored my apps using titanium backup, but I got the fc force close as soon as I started the phone to sign in to my google account, when I signed to twitter, I got the fcs, I went to rom manager and did the fix permissions, rebooted but it keeps doing the fcs, I will give it some time to see, but it does not appear to affect anything, I just press force close and everyting goes well, I did a full benchmark, and it gives me 800, before I was at 2000 with the lag fix, I dont know if I want to keep this rom with the bloatware remove but sacrifice the speed and be bugged with the force close issue, I think I will wait for a more stable rom.

[Fascinate Android Development] devlp1213:
look at those scores closer, the only difference is the I/O speed which atm isn't showing a major speed difference unless you have like ten apps open. the cpu speeds and stuff are all the same, plus all the fcs are already being talked about in the roms thread
[Fascinate Android Development] Teng0ku:
I was having force closes as well, but not anymore, I've heard if you wipe format, clear cache, clear davlik, do all that three times...
