[Solved] tar: can't open 'sdcard/andboot/androidinstall.tar - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hello,
I have an problem about installing / applying the update for the kernel.
Im trying now for almost 1 week. Maybe when u read this u think again an newbie that tries android on his kaiser.
I searched the forum an couple of times and didn't find an solution thats why i make an new thread. My problem is the following.
whatever i try to install android or the kernel update i see this message before it dissappear to the install menu.
Installing:
tar: can't open 'sdcard/andboot/androidinstall.tar' : no such file or directory exist
My setup:
Phone: HTC Kais130
Bootloader: 3.34 HardSPL
Radio: 1.71.09.01
Kernel: 2.6.32 (also tried with the 2.6.25)
Mutiple micro sd cards (from 2 - 8 gb) formatted in Fat32 or Fat
Roms: i tried: Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 Froyo[2.2.2]: My Modified Fresh Froyo
Flashing the kernel doens't give any problems. i created the KAISIMG.NBH with atools.
Does anyone know what to do? cuz im out of options. I got 4 Kaisers here with all at the same problem.

Is the file really there?? is it a tar??

Hello Daedric thanks for responding.
Uhm these are the files i on the sd card at the moment.
/KAISIMG.nbh
/andboot/androidinstall.tar ( i tried also several times with .tgz)
/andboot/androidupdate.tar
with the option 1 install system i get that error and the same with option 4 install update.
I format my micro sd every time i try or change the files. What is following u the best way of format and which one?
edit:
I just saw the link of Kaiser android wiki and followed exactly the staps about the kernel with cache en scoot rs3. Still the same error. Sd card formatted in fat32 with 4k cluster.
Is there not an way i can flash it directly to the nand trough usb? This because i got 3 non working devices, and 1 turned back to 6.5.3

Hello again,
Solved the problem.
somehow the 3 micro sd's i used were corrupt, i bought one new one and tried the one on the kaiser wiki. And there it is it worked.
So for anyone else that have this problem and u find this with google.
Get other sd's

[Q] SGS sd card problem on custom roms (darky and Doc's rom mods)

History
I bought a phone which was on orange-UK, the shopkeeper when gave it to me he used some code which i wrote down on first startup which unlcoked it.
I rooted it > success (with one click root)
ryanZ one click lag fix > did not work, phone stopped booting > went into 2e recovery and factory reset resolved the problem and i didnt tried to lag fix again...
yesterday found Darky's rom and docrom mod
doc's rom mods: http://forum. xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=807848&highlight=doc
darky : http://forum. xda - developers .com/showthread.php?t=814091
and downloaded both....
copied everything needed, installed darky, my both internal and external sd cards didnt work....
flashed with odin on original factory stock eclair rom .... did again .... nothing....
flashed again with odin (coulnt access internal card, obviously) ... stock rom worked fine, both cards mounted....
then didnt do the darky one, did the other doc's .... same problem...
thought there may be some files remaining form the un succesful lag fix of ryanz ...
flashed again with odin, formatted everyhing all memory cards.... did doc's rom, now with sd card sitting on my table rather than in the phone ... internal sd card detected...
inserted external sd , didnt mount... did a couple of times more , no success...
Now I am using doc's rom and I cant use my external SD card... its a 4gig kingston one....
BTW when sd card is not accessible in the O, if you reboot into clockworkmod, it accesses it... so its something else...
I did the following post on darky's thread on page 53 i think... and the issue i thought was this:
"
Hi its me again, i found out where the problem is.... after the rom installs (not just darky, the other doc rom on which its based too) if there is no external memory card installed internal memory card appears fine...
(BTW i used odin to flash the factory eclair, repartition and format everything) after that did that 3 times with ur rom and doc mod one released on the 14th of the month if i remember correctly....
On each boot if there is no external memory card in the slot the internal sd card is usable, if at boot it is installed both are not mounted and are un useable.
Both these roms with the vodoo creates two folder "sd" and "external_sd" on the "/mnt/sdcard" address... and normally on the stock rom this sd folder is where the SGS mounts the external sd as a folder.... so i think vodoo does its magic and so SD cards (external) are unuseable with these roms or this version...
Couldnt quite understand....
Please check this on 3.0 version that if there is an external sd card inserted on the first boot and the subsequent boot as well , is that use able or does it render both the memory cards un mounted and you cant mount them either...
IS IT JUST ME OR SHOULD I POST THIS THREAD AS A SEPERATE ISSUE WITH DARKY / DOC ROMS (i have not tried the slim kalpik+doc version yet, got exhausted after flashing to stock for three times in one day and then reverting back here only to find out that "dont bloody put ur SD in... and use the internal memory only"
plzzzzzzzz help....
"
edit: turns out there is one guy who replied that he is able to access both memory cards on darky.....
Please anybody... Mr. kalpik, Mr. Tayutama, Mr. Docrombone .... (plz dont mind the spell)
Could anybody help.... What is it I am missing.....
Bit strange, first time i see this error.
You have the standard I9000?
What was the stock rom that the phone was shipped with?
Product code on your phone now?
If you are using my files, when it opens it shows /sdcard on top. Scroll down to sd. Thats your external card. Hope this helps.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
@ DocRambone
Yes this is standard I9000
i was originally on BVGJ4 i think (something like that ) (the eclair for Orange UK)... i cant quite remember this.....sorry
but then i flashed with odin with the stock rom that i got from the forums.... here
http://forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816890&highlight=uploading+stock&page=2
then i went into 2e recovery then into clockworkmod and flashed the one i provided link above....
now the product code is I9000HKDXEE in nv_data.bin (used SGS tollbox to see that, its the same as backed up one)
other info currently is:
PDA: I9000XWJP6
PHONE: I9000XXJPM
CSC: I9000XEEJP4
But these things are i presume, due to the firmware currently installed... (i am a newbie, so... dont know abt product code stuff)
Cant we just flash some rom with odin which makes this phone a WWE >>> ?
@ragin
I used the stocck rom from the link provided above....

I used the one link i provided in the post above.... the thing is that if the sd card is in the phone and then u turn the phone on, no card is detected... neither internal nor external,
if not then, if u power it on if the external sd card is out then it shows the internal but when u insert the sd card, nothing happpens...
The rom i installed has already created a folder named "sd" and a second folder "external_sd" on the root of the external sd ..... so external sd is not mounted there...
if you go into recovery and then into clockworkmod recovery and u go into sd cards and mounts and then try to mount the sd it gives an error
/dev/block/mmcblk0 (cant remember exact file name) already exists cant mount sd....
SO thats why i was thinking that maybe voodoo has created some file or this file is causing the problem.
should i try to find where this file is and try to delete from a root file manager...????
I M BLOODY STUCK...
CANT THERE BE A WAY TO FLASH A ROM WHICH RENDERS THE PHONE INTO A FACTORY NEW PHONE STATE AND I COULD PLAY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS???
what are the compatible file systems of the external sd cards for froyo roms??
fat16 / 32 / ext2 / ext 4 ????
@urhhoney
i had the same problem after apllying the darky steel rom on the tayutama rom (i disabled the lag fix first), i flashed the stock WJM9 then the CF root and recovery kernel then darky steel again but the external sd card didnot work but i noticed some errors in recovery mode about mounting the cach folder so i flashed WJM5 then WJM9 and CF kernel then applied darky steel rom and the sd card worked fine this time.

Galaxy Tab P1000-Need Rom arabic enabled

Hi Everyone
I recently bought a new Galaxy Tab P1000. Everything is just great, but the problem is that i doesnt support arabic. Letters on websites are disconnected.
What I kindly need, is info on what ROM shall I flash. I've read the the JPJM4 is newer than JPJK5 and its arabic enabled. I dont want an arabic interface, I just need arabic language support.
Kindly provide me with the link to download the ROM from.
I've read that my ROM might be bootloader protected, so I have to unlock it first. Do I have to convert the File system ?
And I have to back up my ROM on the SD also, in case something went wrong.
Do I need to flash only the ROM alone ( using Odin 1.7 + the drivers installed ( I have windows 7 ), or I have to flash something else? I've read about the procedures on how to flash it and there shouldnt be a problem. I've read also that some people flash from the Micro SD attached.
Any helps are hughly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi, I'm currently using arabic enabled rom from Galaxyer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933028
My SGT was not locked so I've no problem flashing it. You will need to unlock your tab first, the instructions can be found somewhere else in the forum. After that, just follow the instructions to flash the rom. I simply follow every instruction and never encounter any problem at all.
Thanks for your kind reply.
1- Im downloading the ROM provided in the link u posted.
2 - I'll install the app that Unloack the bootloader in case if it was locked.
3 - Is it a must to load and flash my kernel using MoDaCo Kernel Ext4 ? What about the PIT ?
4 - Do I back my ROM on SD before i Proceed in case something went wrong ?
Thanks again, its really a good joy to find kind members like you to offer help on the spot

You don't need the PIT file. Just flash the MoDaCo kernel as PDA using Odin 1.7 (do not select Repartition). After that, you don't even need Odin for the rest of the process. Just make sure that you inserted the external SD Card and it have enough free space to backup the applications during the conversion to ext4. Without the SD Card, the conversion won't proceed and you'll stuck there until you insert an SD Card and restart SGT.
If you're already using CMW, then you can do a Nandroid backup of your ROM to the SD Card. If you're not, then don't worry, follow the instructions correctly and insya Allah nothing bad will happen.
-the thanks should go to all those who have done the hard work to provide us with the roms and guides
Urgent help please.
I installed the patch and applied it, the TAB isnt bootloader locked, great.
I loaded Modaco Kernel ext4 in download mode, the Tab restarted. At this point, I disconnected the TAB from PC and restarted Tab in Recovery mode with new ROM zip installed on formatted SD Card ( FAT32 ). Im getting a message :
E: Failed to mount / system (invalid argument )
/system may be rfs. Checking..
E: Failed to mount / data (invalid argument )
/data may be rfs. Checking...
.
.
.
.
File System need to be converted to ext4.
E: Failed to mount /SD Card (no such file or directory )
Cant mount /sdcard
Please Help, Im stuck here.
* The micro SD is 4GB, might it be the problem, does it have to be 8GB ?
i recommend Overcome kernel for two reasons; firstly, after applying the kernel from odin the tab restarts and all filesystem conversions are done automatically with a robot voice narrating the progress! the future additions and roms can be installed from internal storage be it 16gb or 32gb no sd cards required!Plus multiple enhancements like voodo sound mod updated! I installed the galaxyer rom on the overcome kernel!
4GB is fine, I used 4GB too. FYI, the first time I got stuck exactly where you're because I removed the external SD Card, thinking that it is better to flash it without any card. Turns out that the SD Card is needed for the conversion, so I just switch off the tab (long press on the power button), inserted the sd card and restarted in recovery mode and the conversion went without a glitch. But make sure you've charged your tab because the process takes some time.
Hi.
Sorry for the delay in posting back.
Turned out that the MicroS SD was "bad"... Replaced it with another one and the conversion went smooth.. The file system was converted, the backup was made and I chose the new ROM from Micro SD Card. Everything went smooth but it didnt take too much time !!!!
Anyways, its all fine now, thanks all for ur time.

Got almost the same problem earlier today (not with CM though).
A restart solved that problem (for now). Have you tried that?

Same error (Please Insert SD Card before using the camera.)
please help me friends .
Has there been any kind of notification telling you that your SD is corrupt?
Can you see your SD card in a file manager?
Do you even have an SD card? CM does the internal storage differently.

I'm surprised that Cyanogenmod install can be done without a physical external SD card.
It's mandatory to have an external SDcard to use Cynogenmod, even if your internal SDcard is empty.
There are complicated things to do as mentionned above to switch internal and external mounting points for Cyanogen but I can guess this can be tricky for someone not used to those things....
So:
- buy a sdcard, even a small one, internal sdcard still can be used for multimedia files and so on, and is mounted as /mnt/emmc (grab Astro File manager for exemple to see it) and is concerned by media scanning.
- flash back stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849) if you didn't made a Nandroid backup before flashing CMod.
- flash another optimized Froyo rom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849 there are some)
- Didn't try Paul Modaco's Gr2, based on official Lg leak 2.3.4, perhaps its mouting points are more conventionnal; but Gr1 pre-baked didn't went good for me as there were no SIM card detection (probably missing some APN related files or so...) so I jumped to CyanogenMod Nightly.
I just bought an O2x with CM7 RC1 already installed.The camera doesn't work (Please insert an SD card before using the camera) and my computer doesn't find the phone when i connect the USB cable(it says it's charging but nothing happens on the phone or the PC). I tried installing LG Pc Suite and the official software on the LG site(mobile updater) and the USB driver seems to be installed but nothing happens when i connect the phone.
What should i do? Should i flash a newer CM7 nightly or a stock firmware? (i have literally no idea how to do that, i'm going to have to read some tutorials).Can i do that if i can't connect the phone via the USB cable? Is there another way?
Yeah flash a newer version, RC1 is quite dated. In the new nightlies you can make internal storage replace the SD card.
You can update the drivers with the LG Mobile Support Tool, PC Suite isn't compatible with CM7.
I installed LG Mobile Support Tool, still nothing. The battery is "Charging" but nothing else happens on the phone/pc. Can i flash a newer version if i can't use the usb to connect to the phone?
Edit: The phone has ROM Manager 4.3.2.3 installed and when i start it: "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager."
I suspect you don't have an SD card, only internal storage. You can't use ROM Manager with that on RC1.
Try the drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...elease-103521-20110725/page__view__getnewpost
No, i don't have external SD card. The phone already had CM7 when i bought it. So i just have to download those 3 files and follow the tutorial?
I also found this tutorial and it has that AP BIN thing in plus. Which one to follow? I would be happy to install stock froyo if everything works on it.
Which one to follow depends on what you want for your phone. Personally I'd use CM7.
Ok , i'm gonna go with CM7. If i follow that tutorial(the one you posted) what exactly i'm gonna have on my phone? What does it do? Don't i have to install a newer CM7 nightly build?
This tutorial doesn't say what to put in the AP Bin box, i just leave it blank?
If you go with CM7 then you have to install via recovery, not Smartflash, completely different process.
Download the newest version from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
Save to your phones internal SD card
Update recovery (unless already on 4.0.0.9 or higher)
Reboot to recovery (can use ROM Manager for that)
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip
Select the CM zip and pick yes
Reboot
In the CyanognenMod settings, in the top option (i foget what it is now) tick 'use internal storage'
Reboot again and you're away
"Save to your phones internal SD card" How am i gonna do that? I can't use usb to connect the phone.
Oh, have you not sorted that yet? Bugger.
Try running mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard from the terminal, with any luck this will make your internal SD /sdcard and you should be able to download CM via the phone. You can also use ROM Manager to install it then as well.

[Q] the file haret cannot be opened.

please helpwhen i run haret.exe the following message appears" the file haret cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
Use another Haret from other ROM.
I have the same problem for my Rhod100. Even installing the .cab file doesn't work. This problem is since this morning. I copied the file for many time and from different people but nothing is working.

Yeah I can confirm that your have a bad SD card. I had this kind of SD card before too and it was much more cheaper than original. All the files that you had copied to SD card will be corrupted, that's mean you cannot open it or play it. Then you also cannot make partitions on your SD card as well, am I right?
The only way to solve this problem is BUY A NEW SD CARD
Well i don't think that is the problem because it worked untill 21th of september. But maybe i will format the micro sd card (after i copied all of the files to my hard disk). Maybe that will work, I will try it.
Edit: I just tried to format the Micro SDHC card (It is an Micro SDHC) but it didn't made a difference, I still get the same error. I could gamble to buy a new micro sdhc card but what if that wouldn't make a difference too?
If you dare to try your luck for gambling, then why don't you try your luck to buy a new SD card?
minitool does not show all the partitons
i think jerrytan93 is right as whenever i try to make partition from mini tool then after making the partition the minitool does not show all the partitons, it shows only the fat 32 partition (with full memory).
but when i formatted the card again on my pc using windows then i was able to upload files on my sd card and also excess them with my mobile, that means my sd card is not bad.
but again i can't make partitions so what is the matter, i don't understand
I saw someone (forgot his name) in this forum said that there was some brand's SD card which are unable to make partition. So looks like you are the unlucky one
I've experience the same problem before.
Maybe the problem is ;
1. If you use Winmo Roms that have an OverClock setting like Dynamic rom, jus turn the OC setting off.
2. Maybe you have a bad SD card, try reformating it.
are u have overclocking on ur x1?
With GTX Dynamics ROM, i see Overclocking at Settings/System.
But 826x hasn't it. Where do i can find it?
Try other..
Energy ROM, at first try, it can run haret.exe <-- from Sensedroid..
Running perfectly..

The Dynamic roms has the OC setting. U can turn it on or off.
I really don't know the Mhz after OC and before OC.
well, It might be the overclocking problem as others mentioned as I've had the same problem cuz Haret doesn't work with Overclocked roms ... also, I'm kind of new, so I'm not sure about the next tip but it worked for me ...
I went into the startup file next to the Haret and I changed the value from to 614 instead of the higher num cuz some of the Android roms are highly overclocked .... so, by lowering it, it might work ... it took me like 2 hours to find this solution but I'm not sure if it will work

[Q] SD Card Error (can't mount /sdcard)

Hello,
I've been successfully rooted my Galaxy S (i9000) since the first day I got it. Installed CM10, Slim ICS and other ROM's with no problem. A few days ago I tried to flash the latest (beta if I'm not mistaking) of Slim ICS and somehow everything got screwed. Sadly I don't have a Titanium Backup.
The problem is with the internal memory I guess, as I can use an external SD card (The one that you place in the slot). I've tried everything from Ezboot, Darky ROM, pit files, and various stock kernels and ROMs with no success. I've also tried flashing a dbdata file with no success. From what I've read, the partitioning seems to be off, and that *could* be the problem. The errors I've got are:
When trying to wipe data/factory reset:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
While trying to install any rom (CM/Slim ICS):
E: Error in /sdcard/file_name.zip - Where file_name is the name of the rom archive.
Status (0)
Installation aborted.
The one thing I did not try is the ADB stuff for which I haven't found a proper guide. I've also tried various fixes from previous threads and I still haven't got it to work. Any help or pointers will be much appreciated. Thank you.
PS: I can enter recovery and download modes. Is the phone bricked?
UPDATE: I've managed to install CM9, but after it boots it sais Encryption Unsuccesfull.
Bad news, I had a similar problem...

But for now try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841250
Sent from my GT-I9000
Thanks a lot for the reply. Either I did something wrong or I don't know.. the guides don't work. Any other ideas?
Bump...
I had something similar and I found that when booting my phone what helps is keeping the external SD card outside and only after some time putting it back in...
the way I check it is that I have direct call to contacts in my Widgetsoid notification widget and only after they show the image of the person and not only a blank square then I enter my SD card.
but It always doing problems with my ringtones and making them Unkown so every reboot I have to rearrange them.
You could also check it by using apps that don't run with SD card... like camera, gallery, Waze and such.
Hope it works!
