Data2sd does nothing with or to /mnt/sdcard or /sdcard. What you describe is unrelated to data2sd. Both names existed on my phone before and after applying data2sd, /sdcard being simply a symbolic link to /mnt/sdcard.

data2sd creates /sd2 and /mnt/asec/data2sd (the latter for the log only).

I tried the market one also.it first says not enough space in /system .

Then when I install it says ur phone is not nand unlocked . Please post a log etc.

Please help ! How to install busybox ?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
I think you should follow the error message and make more room in /system first. Make a backup of /system/app/SamsungApps.apk (just in case you really miss them afterwards) and then delete it using root explorer (remounting /system r/w before from there). Or use Titanium Backup to delete it. Then try the busybox install again.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] only4omkar:
Okay . I now have ample space in /system. Now i get no warning .

But still busyboex doesnt get installed , because it says either "your device is not nand unlocked " or " we were unable to remount " ..

Help !!

EDIT : Busybox installed properly !! Thanx !!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Sorry, I can't help you with installing busybox. If I try to do the same on my G3, it just warns me that I already have busybox installed. If I decide to install anyway, it tells me it removed the the existing busybox and that the new busybox was successfully installed. No error message. It runs just fine.

So I can't reproduce the problem. You may want to check with the Android busybox people what the error message means on our phone as it doesn't require nand unlocking.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] only4omkar:
Thanx mizch !! Installation of data2sd completed successfully !!

if i have stock jpm and an sd card which is already partitioned then what shud i do!!!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hodostamas:
install data2sd, and reboot...

edit: oh, sry.. jpm kernel doesnt support extX
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Just skip the partitioning step. Apart from that, install as described. You must install the new kernel (step 1).

Your data2sd partition wasn't blank, so it was not initialized with the current contents of your (old) data partition. Format it or remove all files from there (including hidden files).
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] FadeFx:
so this wouldnt work with existent data2sd partition?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
It will, but it won't overwrite its content nor change it. If it recognizes a partition which has been already initialized by data2sd it will leave it as is.

If it can't find data2sd's magic file, then and only then it initializes the contents of the partition so it reflects the old data partition.

Thanks... I have another question for you. I want to install lagfix

1. Do you recommend lagfix

If yes which one

If no, why?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] mizch:
Lagfix converts your /data file system to some variant of ext (ext2, I believe). This doesn't make sense as your /data file system now is already ext4. Lagfix may even destroy the contents of /data (I'm not sure) as it tries to convert a file system which neither uses the expected format nor resides on the expected partition. So don't try.

For all who are flashing, often... hee

Since the whole swype beta upgrade blah blah... sometimes I'll flash a ROM that has the updated version, sometimes they don't include the updated version, sometimes they do and they don't work (wrong handset or something like that) and I find myself flashing BACK to ROM's that had the working update.

What about on the older ROM's that I find myself missing??? Is there a trick other than deleting swype and swypelib and then copying in a newer version of both???

It's making me crazy, and yet I'm unwilling to live without swype!!! It took me a long time to like it, but once I did, I never went back!! :rolleyes:

[General Topics] Bitage:
I've been playing around with ROMs for quite a while now and today I installed the latest version of RCMixHD ROM for the HTC Desire. Everything runs fine, except for the very annoying fact that it looses network connection every time the screen turns off. This includes the screen turning off when you're in a call and the proximity sensor senses your head and turns the screen off. This is of course very annoying. I started looking at the Mobile Network settings and noticed that it hangs on reinitializing the network connection. That's weird, because it's not supposed to shut off the connection at all. Are there any devvers or users that experience the same problem and who can help me with a solution? The ROM is installed on a 2GB EXT3 partition. Rest of the SD card is FAT32.

Edit:// A2EXT should read Data2EXT, my bad :)

Edit2:// Just saw in the main thread there is an experimental 3.5 version. Anyone having the problems I described with that version?

FINAL EDIT :// Okay, cancel this all. I also had a USB brick but I thought that was unrelated to the network problem. Seems it wasn't. Flashed the update.zip provided on modaco (http_://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/ (remove underscore)) and everything works fine now.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] pikachu01:
Your bootloader is fine if you get the PC-phone blinking icon. Best bet is to send your phone for warranty.

What was your original OS before flashing, 2.1 or 2.2?

You should flash the full package of whatever OS you were on by using the jig to get to the donwnload mode then flashing with Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yvliew:
I will try to make a USB JIG and get in to download mode. Will flash stock firmware and see. Thanks! So if there's still Phone ! PC icon, bootloader still intact?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
I'd you still have download mode, I have found that holding all three buttons and when galaxy logo comes up releasing all it works?

Open Odin. In PDA add a new kernel ie voodoo. Put phone in download and connect to Odin. Press start and in 20 seconds all should be good. Always works for me. Just a kernel file though. No repartition. auto reboot checked. Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yvliew:
The phone has no 3 button combo, that's why I tried applying the 3 button fix but it brick. So I hope as long as it still shows Phone ! PC logo, it's still able to get into download mode using usb JIG.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azzledazzle:
Yes, the JIG should put the phone in download mode... its a very useful tool so look after it.

then when your in download mode, i personally would flash 2.1 with all 3 files and PIT. also check the re-partition box in odin. and start again :D good luck.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index...#Bricked_Screen

Bricked Screen

(A.K.A. phone-!-pc or Black Screen of Death)

For reference, this is what a bricked Samsung Galaxy S looks like. To recover from this problem, you'll need to get into the Download Mode.

Black Screen of Death

A fully bricked phone (as shown on the screenshot) will not boot, or display the charging logo when connected to a USB charger. This presently cannot be recovered from any recovery attempt, it will require the phone to be sent back to Samsung and be serviced.

This screen does not always mean your phone is bricked. If you have a hardware locked vibrant, maybe, however, if your phone is not hardware locked, unplug the USB cable from the phone, Hold down Vol UP+Vol Down+Power, the screen will flash black, continue holding down all 3 buttons, you will see the "phone--!--PC" screen again, continue holding all 3 buttons, the screen will flash black again, release the power button only. This will put you into Download Mode.

I was tempted to take it back as you have a 30 day return policy. Coming from the Incredible I was definitely impressed with the 4g speeds. But with all the "Forced Close" errors, the larger-than-expected form factor, and the lousy battery life I was seriously contemplating sending it back but then I heard that Verizon is going to move to a tiered data plan for the LTE 4G so I thought it better to get a phone and get the unlimited plan now so that when they switch over, I'd be grandfathered in with the unlimited plan.

So I'm keeping it.
