Hi,

By my mistake i delete recovery file in system directory, and now my phone doesnt start up only wait at galaxy S logo.

What can i do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammodo:
what rom was you running.

what if the full directory of the file you deleted.

As you can push it back with adb if someone else has it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denesch:
I had froyo2.2, and directory was: system/bin/ recovery

i want to change it with diferent recovery file but i see now that file was only deleted and not replaced xD

so i am without recovery option and phone doesnt start.

I can go to download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iammodo:
if you still have the recovery file you wanted to put there.

plug your phone into the computer and try

adb devices if something pops up your in luck

move the recovery file to your tools folder (in the sdk)

then use

adb push recovery /system/bin/

To copy a file or directory (recursively) from the emulator or device, use:

adb pull <remote> <local>

To copy a file or directory (recursively) to the emulator or device, use:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtis265:
Hello guys, very very sorry if this is a repost. I've had a quick search but i can't spend my entire days searching. Apologies also if this is in the wrong section.

Please read and comment on my abbreviated story

Was running telstra branded froyo

Now running Leedroid (just did it yesterday)

Used ROM manager to partition the SD card, worked fine for a while, until i got silly 'read only' errors which i'd never seen before.

Tried to reformat the SD card. Lost some apps and decided to start over hard resetting everything because i'd lost everything that had moved to the swap partition...

Cleared the partitions on the SD card and rewrote them into a 10gb fat32, 2gb ext3 and a 2gb swap

Reflashed leedriod with another smaller card - works ok.

Tried my big card again and it didn't boot, stuck at the boot screen forever.

Put small SD card back in and it works... but some apps are now mising such as rom manager, titanuim backup, and the other things which i'm not familiar with.

WTF is going on. My head is throbbing! arrrrrrrgh

have i partitioned my card correctly?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esk02k:
Maybe try and partition the card in another way. rom manager did

work for me but ive also had similar problems before. Try the g-parted

method if you can get youre head around it, just try and format/partition

the card while its out of the phone because for me, thats what gave me the

exact same problems you mentioned.

If you ever want to back up the apps from sd-ext (apps2sd) you can

use titanium backup. I was in this same boat recently and found that the

easyest way. Also i dont see the need for any swap partition but i could be

wrong.

i use: 1gb ext3, 0 swap and the rest fat32 (16gb card)

good luck
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
So you flashed Leedroid A2SD+ with your "smaller card" in the phone?

And you just swapped the card to the "bigger one"?

In that way, the only way to make it work is creating a NANDROID backup with your "smaller" functioning card and copy that to the "bigger" one (must be in the same folder!).

Then put the card (bigger one) and do a full wipe & restore the NANDROID backup you've made previously.

Also, ROM manager is a piece of cr*p in partitioning, i had issues until i used GParted to create the partitions and no problems since.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singh400:
It's funny you should mention this. I've had the exact same problem.

Small SD card works, big SD card doesn't work after being partitioned using ROM Manager. It gets stuck at the bootscreen for ever, and ever.

I will do some more testing when I get the chance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curtis265:
Hey champs, i put the big sd back in the computer, turned it all back into fat32 and it works just fine.

Then i used rom manager to partition - 512 ext and 256 swap.. not enough imo, (crappy fkin desire fault). Might leave it for now... unless that read only disk thiing happens again

Cheers for the reply guys :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grimace78:
I get a force close every time I try to put the camera in sport mode. I did search for threads dealing with this problem and found some. The problem is that I don't understand most of the terminology. Would someone be nice enough to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this. It is really aggravating.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmspyder:
Its basically a good example of poor coding by Samsung.

along the lines of adding a new line of code in the middle of the old causing everything to shift up or down..

The fix(s)

You need to be rooted.

flash one of the roms that have the fix included(read the details for your selected rom)

or..

use the original fix (don't need to be rooted for this one)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970452

you would download the file, and flash it with odin. for the original.

pretty simple really.

All the roms have instructions on first page as does the "fix"

Since you are having problems with terminology ill walk the odin method

make sure you have the Samsung drivers installed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929

download the camera fix . its a .tar file

download odin

extract odin

put your phone into download mode.

you do this by (from an off state) holding 1 on your physical keyboard and the power button at the same time.

open odin (click the "odin 3+v1.6.exe icon in the folder you extracted to)

connect your usb (you should see one of the com squares light up" mine is always on com 4")

click on "pda button" browse and set the camera fix .tar there

unclick where it says F.reset time

click start

let it run

your done

I am not the best at explanations. But i would like to see you get this fixed

I attached a zip of odin and the camera fix .tar for simplicity

Thanks for the info Tmspyder. I just got off a 12 hour shift and am exhausted. I think I got the gist of it but am going to get some sleep first, read it again, and then reread what you posted. I just want to be sure of what I'm doing so I don't turn my phone into a "brick".

[Defy General] Mihailov88:
Lately I noticed that my defy has same problems whatever rom i install

The market doesn't download the apps

The reset to factory settings doesnt work

Also with turned on skype + internet the defy freezes couple of times allready

Maybe no matter what rom I install there are settings kept somewhere ?

I install a rom the following way

root with superoneclick

install clockwork recovery

wipe data

wipe cache

wipe devlik cache

install the rom as nandroid backup

and wipe all things after installing the rom

but the problems remained

i flashed a sbf via rsdlite

1 wiped via clockworkmod

2 flashed the sbf via rsd

the problems remainedd

am i doing things wrong

Is there an app wich can delete ALL settings kept from custom roms (i have no other explanation why my problems continue after installing different rom)

the defy was original 2.34 2.1-update1 after that i updated to the original 2.51 2.1-update 1

after that i flashed to 3.4.2 145 finland deblur and the problems began (I flashed via rsdlite wiping before flashing

now i am with the 3.4.3 uk blur and the problems are still there

i am searching a way to go back to 2.51 , i also downloaded the original rom from motorola (2.51) , then i found a nandroid backup of it but when i flash it it gets me on the bootlop and have to flash 3.4.3 again....

So.... when you read all this stuf do you have any ideas what can be done ? Anyone had the same problems ?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] otech:
Hi all.

Not having a WM or Android device around, and wanting to create a gold card for my Mozart, I managed to put together a bit of software using some resources from the web and made an application that appears to do just this.

You basically just insert your SD card into the laptop card reader, run the app as admin, and click Read CID.

Note: IT MUST BE A LAPTOP CARD READER THAT IS NOT VIA A USB ROOT DEVICE - USB CARD READERS ARE NO GOOD

It will return it pre-reversed and ready for the Gold Card website.

Now, from what I can tell, its working well - but I have no way of knowing.

So I am looking for a couple of people who HAVE ALREADY obtained their CID and created a goldcard successfully to test if the number returned from this app is correct.

Please let me know if anyone is keen and I will PM you to organise.

It will need to remain a private test as I have not yet obtained permission from the author of the code I used portions of to develop this app. If he is cool with releasing it, then it will be freely downloadable to all if it works.

I have a question if I made a nandroid backup with GOT recovery will it be able to restore with androdiani??? I don't want to lose all of my stuff
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
GOT is based on OR 1.45 while AOR is based on OR 1.46. If you use the new nandroid version while backing up ( each image file has its own md5 file, while the old version uses 1 md5 file for all images ), it should work.

I haven't tried it out.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eXtink:
I'm not sure if this is going to work. What you also can do is:

1. Restore that nandroid backup with GOT

2. Install androidiani

3. Make a nandroid backup using androidiani

Now you got a upgraded backup, which is compatible with OR 1.46

omg. i am really stressing out here, i am a advanced WM6.x user and rom modder, but android is totally different ( i bought milestone as WM was really getting on my nerves)

i see a LOT of topics and different how-to's, i don't understand which one suits my needs

Setup:

Milestone (holland)

official Eclair rom

Rooted

i want to install http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815595

RSD lite is installed on my PC

do i need openrecovery? (vulnurable recovery what is the difference?)

everyone has a differen how-to and most how-to's applies to the GOT version (old) ,,,, Froyo mod 2.5 seems to be very different !

greetings from holland, and ANDROID ROCKS! :d

already installed :D , however i am getting the e-mail stopped process error, known issue?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
OK, need some more information to help you!

Vulnerable recovery installed?

Open recovery installed?

How did you root your phone?

That GOT version is a base version for most ROM's, but many ROM doesn't need it anymore. But the GOT version is also required to install Open Recovery, because it has the vulnerable recovery included.

I don't know that last isssue, some more information
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashwin1:
thanks for helping (echt waar dankje !:P)

i succeeded installing Froyomod finally, i just picked one how-to and did it :D great i love the milestone andThe email problem was solved by cleaning the email app in the app settings.

i am now setting up everything and i am checking what the capabilities are :D the notify LED on the front is really small :O does someone agree ? :P
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
(graag gedaan)

Now, I don't think its small, I think its just good!

Bt why the hell you bought a Milestone? There are many better phones!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ashwin1:
yeahh i know, but my prior phone was a Samsung B7610, and that was horrible, Android was buggy and WM was not able to suit my needs

a friend said "you can have this one for 100€" a milestone for 100€ and without scratches is a great deal so far i am aware of :P

finally i got rid from wm and i have still a decent QWERTY keyboard :D

edit: i sold the B7610 for 200€ LOL

the only difference is the battery, i did 4-6 days with the B7610, android is superior, but concerning battery managment, WM kicks ass
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Backdraft11:
Hi guys I was wondering how to get my Milestone back to stock so I can get the official 2.2 updates that seem to be rolling out.

Unfortunately I don't think I can find my original nandroid backup before flashing to the Telus Lite ROM. However upon removing the battery the serial tag says it's "MADE IN BRAZIL" and there is an ANATEL (Brazil telecom company) sticker, so I guess I should get the Brazil sbf correct? Just making sure, thanks.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
OK that explains a lot! :P Great deal BTW
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
Yep, you need that sbf. But if it is the wrong one, you also can change the basebands using AOR!

Install memhack ----- ?????

That's from the OP of the CM612 thread.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that kabaldan discouraged it's use.

Split SDcard (will format SD card ----- ?????

Not too sure any of the App2SD stuff works. Didn't work for me. The script shows a certain path for parted but it's not anywhere in the package.

Install script to zipalign all system apk ----- ?????

If you install this script and open up Terminal Emulator, you can type zipalign_apks and zipalign everything :)

Same with the other scripts. Just type the correct command in TE.

Install OpenRecovery at boot ----- ?????

Love this one. When you boot up and hold X, it loads OR automatically - no need to press volume up + camera!

Install theme ----- ?????

Dunno if this is how it works with Eclair but for Froyo....

Stolen from kalagas' theme thread

You put stuff on your SD card as follows in preparation of theme installation:

1) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/apps/All modded .apks

2) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/bootanimation/bootanimation.zip (or empty)

3) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/fonts/DroidSans.ttf and/or DroidSans-Bold.ttf - your fonts renamed (or leave empty)

4) sdcard/OpenRecovery/theme/froyo/framework/framework-res.apk

So once you have your stuff in those folders and then select the Install theme option.

First, a

backup is performed

and the existing theme is copied to \sdcard\OpenRecovery\backup\theme

A neat trick is to have nothing in those folders, "install theme", and have an instant backup of all your system apps!

Restore old theme ----- ??????

\sdcard\OpenRecovery\backup\theme gets copied back to the system.

Stock 2.2.1 bugfix ----- ?????

Not needed. I'm pretty sure I touched that for fun and I got burned lulz!

Menu Application Management -----

Recovery apps ----- ?????

LOVE this one!

I copy system apks to \sdcard\OpenRecovery\apps

They show up in the recovery apps menu and then you can install to system.

EASY installation of things like modified gmail, googlequicksearchbox, vending, geniewidget, deskclock, etc.

Run Script ----- ?????

Love this one too.

Put scripts in sdcard\OpenRecovery\scripts and they show up in the Run Script menu :)

For example, I use it to install my custom overclocking script and a quick wifi fix if the wifi starts acting funny.

Help - Critical Error while installing Open Recovery

Hi, First of all thanks for the great tutorial. It is the simplest to follow of all the others that I've seen. I am a noob in Android rooting (switched from WM, was almost a flash junkie there)

Now to my problem: I am in India and have a Milestone running SHOLS_U2_02.36.0. It has a 90.78 bootloader. Before starting I activated USB Debugging on the phone. I installed RSDLite (4.9), the Moto drivers, and downloaded the UK Retail .sbf and the Cyanogenmod 6 files.

I am stuck in the first process, that is Installing the Open Recovery.

I have followed steps 1 to 6 of your procedure (I start RSDLite (running as administrator), boot milestone in bootloader mode, connect to PC via USB, located the .sbf file and clicked on 'start').

The process starts and goes up to 100%, but the Result in RSDLite is "FAIL" and the screen on the phone shows "Critical Error: B655 EDDC"

Then the phone reboots to normal on its own.

I've tried this twice each with the UK Retail .sbf and also with the Retail Europe .sbf

I was barely started on the 1st step and this setback, quite demoralizing :confused:!!

Am I missing something?? Could you guys please help me out here? Any help greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zeppelinrox:
I used this page for vulnerable recovery...

http://android.doshaska.net/rootable

The sbf is only 4 mb which is downloadable here http://www.mediafire.com/?jzzjmmrvwkz

Recently I redid my brother's phone and he had already downloaded the full 100mb Telus one and it didn't work either.

It would reboot during the process and fail and could not it would not load up open recovery when the x key and selecting update.zip.

This small 4 mb sbf worked.

It did act funny and RSD Lite gave an error again on the reboot BUT this time I was able to load up AOR after rebooting again and everything else went smooth as butter.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rxpaul:
@zeppelinrox - Thanks a lot for the tip off, I will try this 4mb sbf.

So as I understand from your post, this will let me load up AndroidianiOR after the reboot even if there is an RSDLite error shown? Should I put the AndroidianiOR files (update.zip and open Recovery folder) in the SD card before flashing this small sbf?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] :
Yes. If you are installing the VR over a stock rom, then you need to follow an additional step as shown below. This is picked up from the Nadlabak's site.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rxpaul:
Thanks.. Im ready to start this right away, but just wanna get something clear:

"Boot directly to recovery when RSD Lite restarts the phone (hold camera button) and from there remove the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file.

rm -f /system/etc/install-recovery.sh"

How do i remove this file??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] rxpaul:
Guys, I tried lots of variations but am still stuck. I used the small 4mb sbf and RSDlite gave error. Still tried going into recovery mode and installing the update.zip (for AOR). Gives me an error saying Install Aborted. (Cannot mount..... /update.zip)

Also put the "Disable_recovery_check_by_OTA.sh" into the scripts folder of Open recovery as given in Nadlabak's site. Avoided booting into Android system after trying to install VR from RSDlite. No avail.

I can't figure where I am going wrong here!
