Would it be safer to just add a command before the dev_mount to make sure the directory exists and add it? This way if /sdcard is ever purged out, the system will recreate the directory then mount. I don't know how this fstab runs or when, nor the command notation, so this is just more of a curiosity thing.
[G Tablet General] Adam B.:
fstab isn't a script, it's parsed by another program that mounts drives. So this wouldn't work.

Are definitily in the correct order and spaced apart... Maybe I tried to access it before it was ready... I'll reboot and wait longer... waited 10min... still same... needed to eject/reinsert sdcard for it to mount to /sdcard/sdcard ... AND!!!! then when mounted to PC you see /sdcard/sdcard NOT internal /sdcard with /sdcard/sdcard mounted to it!!!
[G Tablet General] TeamSpeed:
Any way to softlink /sdcard2 under /sdcard and have the OS parse the file structure this way upon reboot? I would love to keep my music on the microSD and not copy it to the onboard storage, as would many of the rest of us. Thanks for the followup on this too!
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
This may seem silly, but I'm new to Android.

Is there such a thing as a "path" command where we could tell it to check /sdcard, /sdcard2, etc.

I assume everyone is using Class 6 cards? I have a few spare microsd cards but since my GTab hasn't arrived yet I'm just trying to get an idea of what I'll need in terms of speed.

My 8 GB cards are only Class 2. I didn't see as much emphasis on the speed in the MicroSDHC size as I did in the larger ones, so I bought just a couple of normal ones.

32gb micro SD

The 32gb card is properly recognized in terms of total and free capacity. As noted above, accessing the files is a pain. Further, the USB cable hookup only shows the gTablet's onboard memory as a drive on the laptop. I find the easiest way to copy files to the micro card is to put the micro card into its adapter and put the thingie into the laptop's card slot.

First time to post but longtime XDA reader. Just reading thru... I would like to point out Class of cards (printed on most cards number inside tiny circle) is the transferr speed in MB. ie. 2 = 2mb, 4 = 4mb and etc. I found this out when working with apps2sd on G1 phone a couple years ago. The G1 needed class 6 or higher. I'm going down into Texas to pick up 8g class 6 card ($27) from CompUSA next weekend for my G Tablet. I really should order a patriot class 10 online but I like to immediately get something into my hands quickly if I'm in the area of one.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenbeau:
I have a Nexus One I am selling tomorrow and it is rooted and bloatware removed. I had flashed the frg83D available on line as the OTA 2 updates both failed to install. The device is running well. If I do a factory reset will it cause the device to lose root? And also will it have problems with FRG83D? The device is in as new condition and has an extra battery and 2 different colored casemate tough cases. I really do not want to mess it up in any way for the person purchasing it. Any and all help and info is very much appreciated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
It depends on how it was rooted.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] william tanaya:
true. are you unlocked the bootloader when you first rooted? if not, you can check the wiki for the guide to unroot your phone.

and i don't think the guy who will buy your phone would mind whether the phone rooted or not, in facts. it will be easier for him if it's already rooted. skip all the hassle rooting in the first place.

You can export your contacts to your SD card for a hard copy, and your contacts are synced with your Google account. Google.com/contacts.
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Login to your Google account and see if your contacts are backed up. If not do what someone said and export to your card. Wipe and see if you still have an issue if so try a different rom.
[EVO 4G General] suffolk:
thanks for the replys

I bought the phone new,had the last fresh on it, was only 4-5 weeks ago ?

So i`m using it for a few days works great right, then i get into the phone and see what its running,and google it and see there`s an update available, so i contacted the guy i bought it from and he says no problem do the update if you want...

So i downloaded the file,plugged in my phone to the computer put the file where it told me to, rebooted phone pressing the volume down was it ? and followed the instructions....

So basically it did an update WITHOUT wiping the phone..... truthfully i did`nt have it long enough to know if it was rebooting before i did the update so i`m not sure if its the phone or the software...

These phone are so darn cool i love it to no end, and just want it to work 110% like the rest of yours.

I am an IT consultant and could use a good remote desktop app as well, any recommendations ? as all the ones I have downloaded so far have asked for full access to my phones every move ! whats up with that ??!!!

hey thanks in advance all here you guys rock

[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
If someone else rooted your phone there are a few things you need to do. You need to make sure you have Amon_ra recovery installed and you need to to a nand backup with Amon_ra because it backs up the wimax keys. You also need to do a full wipe when installing a new rom wipe cash and dalvik I do it two times. Than install the new rom, keep in mind you will loose everything and always do a nand backup before installing the new rom. Now if your going from a 3.1 to a 3.2 rom update a wipe is not always needed but a nand backup is incase you need to go back. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
If you know how to root or are capable of following instructions to the end, I say unroot and try to use it like that. If the problem persists, take it in for service. My phone started rebooting randomly because the processor was overheating. I troubleshooted by replacing the battery, changing ROM, unroot, take it in. The phone got to the point where any data intensive app would make it turn off (maps, navigation, YouTube).

Its best to do this after a factory reset from recovery (Up & power on), so theres no personal info in any of the dumps. the efs.rfs file contains you imei info, you want to keep that to yourself.

Dumping all your firmware:

cd android-sdk/tools (use your location)

adb shell

su

dd if=/dev/block/bml2 of=/sdcard/pit.pit bs=4096

I doubt it is the same file.

Post #34, a guy had a glimpse of the files back when it was available:

Unfortunately no one have the md5/sha1 checksum which is the best way to confirm.

Roto is somewhere in the forum, I wonder if anyone wants to contact him?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Jeffro64:
I have the file that I made today from my tab uploaded to Google drive if there is interest. It also is 459MB, but in order for G-drive to accept the upload I had to zip it and it is 241MB... I guess G-drive doesn't accept tar files.

@student.driver - If that file you have is the original file from this thread I wouldn't mind having it myself just for comparison and as another backup. If you already have a Gmail account just go to Google Drive and sign in and upload it there. Then just set the setting for that file from "private" to "anyone that has a link" to post it for download.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] student.driver:
That's the name of the zip I have, and the date of the contents. But I was only going to do this as I've had direct messages from this forum a few times asking for it. I found it, and it appears to be valid (it's what I used before when I was trying to troubleshoot a reset problem with my Tab), and it looks like another person got the same size as the zip I mentioned.

But yeah, for the life of me I don't know why nobody's mentioned any success or failure in contacting Roto recently.

Hey guys check out this thread. It has new *WORKING* links of all the alterbridge files. It's not quite T-Mobile stock but it does have Tmo Radio as well as a nice Odin restock image.

Hello,

A friend gave me his previously new Samsung galaxy tab for T-Mobile tablet, he said he's ordered a new nexus 7,and doesn't need the galaxy anymore. The problem with it is when I power it on, it goes through the booting process (the animated screen with music)..then it just 'stops' @ the Samsung logo, and just stays there. When I power it down and press the power key + the volume + key together, it goes to the 'recovery' screen. I don't really understand what all of this means, would flashing the tablet correct this issue, also..as I'm NOT a T-Moble subscriber, I really don't need the 'phone' portion anyway, all I want to be able to do is get the tablet back in 'working' condition. That is to get on the internet via my broadband router.Would this possibly correct my issue:http://files.deodexed.com/ModADroid-...bile_Stock.zip ? Right now when I boot up the tablet in recovery mode it says the following:

--Verifying internal MMC block...

checksum confirmation -> check(0)

Not need checksum confirmation

already executed!!...

# MANUAL MODE #

-- Updating application...

E:failed to mount /preload (No such file or directory)

your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

copy application failed.

--Appling Multi-CSC...

Installing Multi-CSC

Can't access to '/system/csc/PHN/system/'.

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

Does all of this actually mean the tablet is 'un-usable', or can it somehow be re-loaded with 'stock' firmware ? The previous owner never rooted this tablet, or installed ClockWorkMod on it either. Hopefully....someone else has had this issue before.

Thanks,

David :(
