Huge Problem!!!

alright guys, I am gonna admit right off the bat that I only did one search here and when I came up with nothing I made a new thread. i'm sorry but let me explain.
I was using confused stu's mobile vista 1.3 and I liked it a lot, but I wanted to test a new rom and so I flashed and I hate this one, it is extremely slow. the problem is that when I flashed this rom my comp crashed and now I have no comp for at least two weeks. is there any way to perform all the steps of an sd flash with out a computer? I know I need to format my sd card and extract the RUU from the rom I want but I can't seem to format my sd card without a computer.

1. Your SD card really should be Fat32 from the get go.
2. You dont need the RUU. You need the .nbh file and rename to KAISIMG.nbh and place in the root directory of the SD card.

thanks

thanks tater, that's what I meant was the signed_RUU.nbh, but I have another favor to ask you guys, will someone download the rom and post the nbh file here, or someone with the ROM please post it here so I can go back to my favorite ROM? that would be greatly appreciated

Are you posting on your phone? If not use the computer you are you using to post?

yeah i'm using my phone to post cause I don't have a computer at home with internet, and my comp with my roms on it died and is getting fixed

download the rom with to ur phone then....i've done it many times before

the problem is that I can't get the rom from anywhere except 4shared and that won't work on my phone, I can't find a mirror. plus it coms as a .rar file and I don't have winrar on my phone.

Then Download PocketRAR. Works Great.
You can format SD card with Pocket Mechanic Pro, SK Tools, Resco Explorer, etc.

everthing I have searched to get pocket rar on my phone has gotten me to pocketrar3.71.exe and when I try to run that it tells me that it is not a valid pocketpc application, I don't know if i'm just stupid or what but I don't think I can deal with this rom any longer. the other reason I wanted someone to post the nbh file was because the only place I can find the rom from stu is on 4shared which doesn't work on my phone, kep getting some scripting error and the phone locks up

here ya go I think thats it

thanks man, sorry to need the spoon feeding, but i'm quite impatient and this rom is very slow so spending ten minutes looking on my old rom is like 45 minutes with this one

hey tater, as far as I can see you're the only person that flashes with sd card. my card is fat16 and when I try to format it tells me that the card is inacessible bcause a program is using it and there is nothing on the card. by the way thanks for the upload on megaupload

Can you not get to a pc at your work? The SD card must be fat32.
Or try to get Storage Tools 2.2.

You have no friends either? They don't have a computer?

Maybe it is like this...

then i suggest you locate a free program such as storage tools to format your sd card.

that's where I worked, I got the card formatted and the file named KAISIMG but boot loader says no image found, is there a specific cluster size the card must be formatted to? I can make it 512bytes to 64kb

KAISIMG.nbh has to be in the root directory of the sd card

[Q] Copy files onto phone while in recovery mode

So I screwed up my Galaxy S by trying to modify the images on framework res.api. The phone won't boot up now.
I can only go into recovery mode. How do I copy the original files to the phone so I don't have to do a full recovery?
Are there other alternative methods I can use?
I am really frustrated now and I hope I won't have to start all over again

The stupid nature of the Samsung Galaxy S recovery is that you have to put the update.zip on the Internal SD. The stock recovery has no way of letting you do this as you don't have root to mount the sdcard when using ADB.
So just go for a full flash... :\

just flash the phone again with Odin, on a good firmware
then you can do whatever you want with it after that.

You don't need to flash again.. the easy way: check the following > http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756627 and download the file for your ROM (if there is no file for your ROM, try with any for your model). Then if you cannot access to the internal SD through the recovery mode... go to the "apply update.zip".. in my case I got an error due to I didn't have any update.zip file BUT then I was able to acces de internal SD, so you can copy the file downloaded and apply it
Sorry for my bad english!

You should be able to create an update.zip with the same folder structure as your phone (/system/framework/) and replace the framework-res.apk with your original working one. Then use your recovery screen to apply this update.zip
Edit: Sorry I just realized you couldn't access your internal sd... dang.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I had to reflash the whole phone with the firmware thus losing all my settings and programs.
The case is I knew what file I messed up. I applied it through the update.zip. And there is no way to access the internal SD card (internal storage) so I cannot change the update.zip to anything else.
So from my understanding, for phones like Galaxy S which has a non removable internal SD card, there is no way, not even with third party software to access the internal storage so the update.zip can be modified and applied through the recovery mode? Sorry I'm still quite a noob after reading hundreds of threads...
If that's the case then it is quite very risky to attempt on any mods and this may not be the phone I want to keep
Is there a way to SWITCH app file saving from INTERNAL SD to EXTERNAL SD? Or at least make Recovery mode use update.zip from EXTERNAL SD? That would be very useful!
Thanks all...

This is one of the biggest flaw of the device. Unless for those who don't touch anything of the system at all...

Cant boot tab, Odin and heimdall cant recover it...

So I am not a noob to flashing or to android, but I am fairly new to this damned Galaxy Tab... A friends daughter had a small issue with her tab so she called verizon who had her do a bunch of things to it now it totally wont boot. it givs the "Samsung" screen, then the verizon splash screen but wont go any further. I can get it into download mode and i can get it into recovery, but Im seeing a lot of errors in recovery. I am attaching a pic of that...
I have spent the last two days searching all over for a way to get this darn thing running, eveywhere I read :If you can get to the download screen or into recovery it is easy to recover." Well Im guessing its not always so damn easy....
I have a TAR file that is the stock VZW files and I tried that via heimdall, no go... tried multiple ways, nothing. i had it at one time so the video wouldnt work, I could hear the bootup sounds, but couldnt see anything on the tab... could someone please help me out with this thing?
device is a Verizon branded SCHI800BKV
Here is my recovery screenshot...

do a wipe data/factory reset in stock recovery, after it ur device will fully bootup

I wish it was that easy.... here is what I get when i try that..
If you notice the empty line in the middle of the red text, the next line states, "Your storage is not prepared yet, use UI menu for format and reboot menus.
I have let it run at the verizon splash screen overnight just incase it was rebuilding Dalvik, but no go.... and of course all verizon tells me is "As old as this is, you would be better off buying the newer version. Should i ring one up for you?"
It seems to me, like the onboard memory is fragged, and not holding the data when I flash via either Odin or Heimdall...

Internal storage is broken.

crap. thats what I thought.... been reading the threads about using a SD card to run and have NO freaking clue how to do that stuff. good thing this isnt my device.

It has just become simpler! CM10 nightlies can be installed without modifications on an external storage card by creating an empty file activate_data_on_sdcard (the name is important) in the root of the card.

OK, i just grabbed the latest nightly and the Gapps, but as this tab is NOT rooted, nor does it have ClockworkMod recovery installed, how do i flash it? Just put a file with that name on the SD card along with the zip file for CM10? do i still have to partition the SD card? Damn I feel like a noob...:cyclops:

Well, we don't install CWM on the Tab, we install a kernel that has a recovery that can install unsigned zips from storage. The Overcome kernel is known to work. I believe there's a thread in General with links to the Overcome files.
Partition the card: 1 = /SDCARD, Primary FAT32, most of the capacity of the card (say 25 GB on a 32 GB card, or maybe 13 GB on a 16 GB card), 2 = /DATA, Primary Ext4, 2 or 4 GB, 3 = /CACHE, Primary Ext4, rest of the card.
Download the CM10 nightly and JB gapps and put them on the external card.
Create a file named activate_data_on_sdcard on the card.
Put the Tab into Download mode and flash the Overcome kernel as PDA with Odin. The Tab will not boot normally anymore after you've done this. Power off the Tab.
Boot it into recovery by powering it up while holding down Power on and Volume-up until you see the text Galaxy Tab. It should start the recovery.
Wipe data, cache, and Dalvik cache.
Go to the Install menu and select the option to install from storage. Select the nightly and flash it.
It may start to flash and then reboot into recovery. This should now be the CM10 recovery. Flash the nightly again.
Flash gapps for JB.
If all had gone well the Tab will boot and run from the external card.
Hm, I must have been doing this stuff too long now, because I find this whole process quite logical...

[Q] Help! Can't mount sd-ext

Hi, I'm actually new to an Android device, but the HTC vivid I got from AT&T just behaved horrendously (battery dies in less than 2 hours, input method constantly stops working, any of the touches on the screen are frequently recognized as dragging down the status bar, can't pick-up or make phone calls very often, changes the screen brightness by itself like crazy if set auto-brightness, etc) so I decide to make some change.
The ROM I am currently using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420985
The problem that I have now is that in system settings->storage, I can see my ~30GB external SD card. The SD card works fine if you plug it to a PC. But no apps on the phone can access this SD card. I was using a CWM recovery, and now a TWRP recovery, both give me an error message saying something like "unable to mount sd-ext".
These are what I see in system settings.

I will explain what I did with my phone during the past 3 days to give you an idea of what may go wrong.
First I tried to root the device with some "one-key rooting" software I found online, but it failed. Then I learned that I have to unlock the bootloader of the phone. So I went to htcdev.com and followed the instructions, but my Win8.1 computer could not recognized the phone when the phone was in fastboot mode (although I could see "FASTBOOT USB" on the phone, the computer just said "unrecognized device" or something). So I borrowed my roommate's Macbook Pro, and successfully unlocked the bootloader. Then the "one-key rooting" software worked, and my deviced was rooted. By that time the storage worked without any problem.
Then I tried to install a ROM made by "Team Hydra" on my phone (I can't find the original post now but I noticed a new thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524934, which I suppose is an update of the ROM), but I didn't know about the "S-ON" status of my phone, so apparently I can't boot my phone to system. At this time I had CWM recovery on my phone. So I took out the battery, thought it was the ROM's issue.
I found that I could flash a ROM by copying the ROM zip files into my external SD card, and use CWM recovery. So I tried this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026675 which is an official Cyanogenmod nightly version. Still no luck because I didn't flash boot.img. Then I read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2036710 and understood the boot.img issue. I successfully installed the ROM, but found that the phone did not recognize either my internal SD or my external SD, so most of the apps couldn't run, even the camera.
Then I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420985 and noticed in the changelog there was a "Fixed SD Card" update. So I installed this newer version of ROM (also using the external SD). I felt very strange that the recovery could install the ROM with the external SD, but the operating system can't use the SD card (same as the snapshots shown above, except that the sdcard(FAT) was also "Unavailable").
Then I found another post online, and tried the method: I flashed TWRP recovery on my phone, and tapped "mount". Then I plugged the phone to my PC, and format the 8GB partition which seemed to be somehow corrupted. After that the internal SD card worked fine, and it is what I have now. The external SD can't be used by any of the apps, and if I reboot to recovery, and try to mount sd-ext, I can get a message saying "unable to mount sd-ext".
Ok now I got really confused, and the posts and threads I found online are not quite the same as the problem I am having. I wish to get help here. Thank you.

New (year 2014) Nook HD unable to boot from SD

Just bought used like new Nook HD (Hummingbird) from ebay. That come with following info:

Problem is that it can not boot from sd card.
I followed EMCC CM11 instruction and UNOFFICIAL CM12.1 instruction.
Both cover different scenario such as using image burner (Latest Win32DiskImager on Win10) and just set partition to active (using Mini Tool Partition Wizard Free). Using 8GB card should be no issue, but the image burning step actually use a partition that is less than 4GB. Which should rule problem related to large size SD card.
I have also read about newer HD+ having sdcard booting problem. Recommendation is to try a lot of time. Which I did more than 10 times of reinserting sd card and press the on button. No luck there.
So I am here to ask if there is something new to this newer (middle of 2014) Nook HD? Anyone have similar experience with Nook HD? I was under impression that Nook HD have no issue with booting from SD Card. Only HD+ have this problem.
Also under impression that Nook HD is no longger manufactured. So is it possible that this new 2014 batch come with somekind of sd card boot protection by B&N? Since nerwer HD+ also seem to have this.
TIA!

Was the SD boot partition type set to 0x0C FAT32 LBA?

You are right! By default it is not 0x0C. Indeed there is additional step required that is missing from original instruction (or at least from the PDF that I download)
So I did that additional step as per this image
same url as my last image plus Type0xc-lba-uUurkMtc.jpg
Try booting again more than 10 times. I.e. shutdown the tablet. Insert sdcard and press power button few times. Fail, take out sdcard, insert it back and try again.
Not successful, no boot logo.
All previous step to prepare the Sd Card was done using Windows 10. After this, I boot into Linux and use gparted to check the sdcard partition flag. I see that boot flag is enabled but lba flag is not. I dont really think this is important. But I enable it anyway and apply it to the sdcard partition.
As per this image.
same url as my last image plus nookhd-gparted-flag-keauk5Fh.png
Try again another 10 times. Again not successful.
All this and previous try, I seriously think that something did boot or at least try to boot. Because after attempting (and fail) to boot using the sd card. I will need to long press power button about 10 second after that depress and press again about 2 to 3 second to start the nook HD tablet. I have verified this by pressing less than 10 second many time, which will not boot the tablet.
I have another nook (dead battery at the moment) that have this same behavior when running Android JB. After shutting down, I will need to do long press one time and then press few seconds to boot it again.
Appreciate the tip. I need more suggestion! In few days, will buy another SD card that is different brand with 4 GB size and give that a try too!
TIA

Thanks for tagging me. I almost forgot about this thread. I succesfully boot and installed using a 4 GB sd. Same brand. And this might be the same sd I used few ywars back to install my first nook. I thought I loss it, turns out I left it in a printer.
So is possible that this is SD Card specific problem. Or perhaps the smaller size (4GB vs 8GB) is the solution.
Thanks again!
