1. FOR FIXING BUGS AND LAGS.....
Use humberto kernel from 02 Aug or you can try the latest 15 Aug kernel (I heard 02 Aug one is more stable)
2.FOR SD CARD PROBLEM (The sdcard is not mounted and we need to manually mount it)
1.Create a folder in sdcard and name it emmc......
2.Open notepad and paste these lines....(Thank alroger for these commands)
busybox mount -t vfat -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,g id=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/emmc
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
3.save the notepad file with .sh extension.....like this....emmc.sh
4.Put it in your sdcard
5.open script manager(known as smanager).. you can download on playstore.....
6.In the file browser of smanager click on the emmc.sh file in your sdcard.......
7.activate these two things......
a)Superuser
b)Boot
8.then reboot your tab and voila its done......
done

where can i get this humberto kernel?

[ROM] x1 - HoneyComb V2 - ClockworkMod - 20/04

Hi every one! since the CM7 final build in 01/04 Today i give you another good build. It repark from HoneyComb V2 by needo, and work with ClockworkMod, so here is the build:
I. Download needed file:
1. x1 - HoneyComb V2 - CWM.zip
http://www.multiupload.com/7SKF8CPSRK
2. npkboot-cwm-v15-x1-monsterKernel.rar
http://www.multiupload.com/R4A7PJE00T
3. Gapps-X1.GBX0A.zip
http://www.multiupload.com/Y87YYZ72W1
II. before install :
1. Format your sdcard make 4 Partition with recommended size:
1st partition: FAT32 (sdcard / Rest)
2nd partition: EXT2 (system / about 150MB -> depends on the build )
3rd partition: EXT2 (data / about 250MB)
4th partition: EXT2 (cache / about 50MB)
Be sure make all 4 partition primary
2. extract and copy folder npkboot to root of sdcard.
3. Copy Rom and GAPPS ( zip file , don't extract) in to root of sdcard.
III. Install:
1. run Haret, and wait when it will be asked to press "Volume Down" shortly (!!important!! shortly) to launch ClockworkMod Recovery or any other key to usually continue booting into Android.
Press volume Down and wait for menu Recovery.
2. In menu recovery choose "install zip from sd-card" choose zip from sdcard and select x1 - HoneyComb V2 - CWM.zip . Confirm instalation.
3. In the same way install "Gapps-X1.GBX0A.zip" ( zip file too) and then back to main menu and choose: reboot system now.
4. Run HARET again and press any key (except Volume keys) to continue booting into Android.
Tips:
- Android won't performing very well at first running hours, if you have many media files (pic,videos..) .. system will be busy searching for these files & creating thumbnails for them ... the time for that is depending on the quantity of the media on the SD card ..
- If you want to see the difference .. using (file Expert) long press on any folder containing media files and choose (Hide pics for media detection)
UPDATE:
- If you want stop problem key freeze, download kernel with keyboard as modules and follow this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11808067&postcount=2 how to do ^^!
- For better batterry, download and install SetCPU, then custom it yourself !
Thanks to Neopeek, needo and other developers !

Do you intall and do all step in first post? check your partition, 1 fat32, 3 ext2 and make them primary ! first boot, open each app one, and maybe slow if you have more media file in sdcard.

- Wifi work flawlessly
- Bluetooth pairs but doesn't transfer anything
- Data 3G doesn't work (as with any other build i have used)
- Market doesn't work (Using applanet instead)
- Stock browser crashes while surfing (Going to try Opera)

am i right in thinking i copy npkboot folder to the sd card and copy the contents of it to the root of the sd?
would i then run HARET from the root or from within in the npkboot folder?
how long should i be waiting before been prompted to press the volume down key

extract and copy FOLDER npkboot to root of your sdcard ( include every thing on this). Then open npkboot folder and run Haret file in this. wait about 10 second and you will see in top screen "press volume down button to enter CWM ..."
Hope it have ^^!

[How-To] Restoring Recovery when Device running - An easy way (CWM / Stock)

Restoring stock recovery: (without Download mode)
[Preparation]
Our FIH partition which you could see in download mode is huge. (Size: 105 MB Used: 43 MB only)
You could easily keep loads of file in this partition without any problem to your device. (I have not faced any, as of yet!)
Just keep a backup of stock recovery in the "image" folder itself with the name "stock_recovery.img" (size: 4.5 MB only)
[Optional] And backup of CWM recovery too with the name "cwm_recovery.img" (size: 5 MB)
[Requirement]
Rooted phone
Apps like: GScripts Lite or Any script manager or Terminal emulator
[How to restore]
Just run following commands using any script manager or save them in a ".sh" file and use
"sh script.sh" in terminal emulator.
Commands:
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/fih
mount -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /sdcard/fih/
cd /sdcard/fih/image/
mv ./stock_recovery.img ./recovery.img
cd /
umount /sdcard/fih
rm -r /sdcard/fih/
(You can use "cp" instead of "mv" if you are not going for warranty claiming and just wants to use stock recover.img. Replace "stock" with "cwm" if you want to use that)
Thats it!
Now restart your phone in recovery using any reboot apps with recovery reboot option or just type in terminal "reboot recovery". You will boot into your desired recovery.
[Note]
When you install any official "fb0" ROM your phone is no more rooted, so you will need to root your phone first before using these steps again.

I am not to be held liable/responsible if you damage your phone by following/not following this thread.

connect to pc
open the drive as it will be shown as a usb storage
go to image folder..
copy your phone's stock version of recovery.img file paste to any drive of your pc .. woho backed up
now copy cwm recovery image
before copying rename it to recovery insteed to cwmrecovery
past to image folder of fih drive overwrite
done... you are now on clock work mode recovery

True...
That's the most generic way to that, but it requires those tedious button pressings.
And also it requites a PC!!
My method can be used if you are on the go and still wants to restore any recoveries.

But as far as I remember there is no fih folder in root of the system unless it is mounted by some init script.

Anyway I will be posting a completely new recovery soon. This will have both stock recovery and cwm recovery access simultaneously. (Hopefully )

[Q] No write access to /storage/sdcard0 on JB

Hi
I have recently flashed Cassie's XtraLite v11 which is JB. After installing this, I found that I no longer have write access to /mnt/sdcard or /storage/sdcard0..
Whenever I try to run swiftkey, it says downloading language packs failed. I also noticed that an app called SMS backup & restore was throwing an error saying no write access to the folder where it backs up.
I am guessing this might be because I have lost write permissions to the internal sd card. I tried the following but still swiftkey gives an error:
1. Tried reflashing the Philz Kernel
2. Tried wiping everything and flashing the ROM and kernel again
3, Checked SU app and it shows I have root permissions
4. Checked permissions of the above mentioned folders and it shows up only as Read access in ES file explorer. I am not able to change the permissions to write access
5. Tried installing the app called Mount /system (rw / ro) from Softbeans. It says that the system has been mounted as rw but I am still not able to get Swiftkey to work
Any help would be highly appreciated. Please ask for more details, as I might have missed relevant details due to my lack of knowledge

What rom did you come from originally sounds odd and no other reports of this. I don't have swiftkey but did use sms backup n restore wit h out glitch.
Did you follow the flash instructions as detailed in the first post. Can you copy a file from your external card to your internal card.
Please advise

Awesome! I had wished you would reply because now it can probably be solved....
I came from the ICS version of your Xtralite rom itself...
yes I followed all the instructions twice...like installing the philz kernel for lsa and mounting and wiping preload...
factory reset x 3 etc...
I am not able to copy anything to internal sd from external sd

I came from the ICS version of your Xtralite rom itself...
yes I followed all the instructions twice...like installing the philz kernel for lsa and mounting and wiping preload...
factory reset x 3 etc...
I am not able to copy anything to internal sd from external sd

Ok that sounds. Little odd. An you say you have clicked fix permissions in cwm with no joy at all
Also I utilise the new lsa kernel in the new Rom. Flashing the old kernel for ls7 is not necessary. Did you flash the ls7 kernel after flashing th rom if so flash the Lsa edition in Phil's thread

I flashed the lsa edition from phils thread...and also I think your rom also flashes the phils kernel in the beginning of the installation.right?
I didnt try to fix permissions through CWM but through an app called Mount /system (rw / ro) from Softbeans
I will try to reflash everything to see if it changes anything. Meanwhile if you can think of anything please let me know.
thanks a lot.
try this :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /storage/extSdCard

sorry I have never tried this...where do I type this command?
Would it be possible for you to provide me a few links which I can go through to get started with commands?
Is there a noob way to do this? like an app on android?
I would first try fix permissions in cwm. If that fails then you could use terminal emulator to see if above command works.
Then if all fails I would copy all internal files from sd card to the pc. Then in settings unmount internal memory usb storage and wipe it clean. This is untouched in Rom installation.
Test you can write to.it I.e download file from internet if good
Then copy files back
Else
I would flash stock ls7
F lash Phil's kernel in Odin then flash the custom Rom again

ok
1-you need to install android sdk in your pc from HERE
2- then connect your mobile to your pc via usb cable
3- from command line :
export PATH
adb root
adb shell
4-now you are inside your mobile
for internal sd issue:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /storage/sdcard0
for external sd issue :
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /storage/extSdCard
Good Luck

1. Tried fixing permissions from cmw to no effect
2. Installed terminal emulator and wrote the command you mentioned...before that did su to go to root user...command implemented succesfully (no error). Still there is no change the permissions on the sdcard0 folder are rwx,rwx,r_x....I am not able to choose the last as write...I dont know why it is considering me as an other user
I installed the android sdk and launched eclipse as mentioned on the website...however when I try to type the export command it says that export is not recognized...I am sure this is a very very silly mistake but I dont even know if I should have typed this in the normal cmd on windows
Trying to reinstall everything from scratch now...
Okay an update:
I did everything from start and reinstalled...everything seems to be working fine at the moment...hopefully it will continue that way
one thing...do you know if the last installed apps are backed up somewhere and all the apps would directly be installed from play store? It used to happen on CM where apps would automatically download from playstore. I dont want to use TB or app2zip as that might add new variables which might lead to potential problems
Did you go the stock root first.
I don't use restore Google option as apps I don't want auto download.
I just use the all apps section in market my apps option. Only takes about ten minutes for me to reinstall all apps

The problem has reappeared
No I didnt go back to stock rom first as I am not sure how to do that...wouldnt that be unsafe since it might have a buggy kernel? let me try to search where to go back to stock from.
Thanks a lot for your prompt responses, really helpful.
What did you do before it went. Was it installing app if so which one.
You should bide able to go back to stock safely. Using Odin.
Check Dr ketans thread for advice.
It sounds odd hopefully it's not a hardware issue and a good clean setup will help

about export path :
I mean the path to where you installed android sdk
if you use linux , the command my be like this :
export PATH=${PATH}:${HOME}/galaxynote/android-sdk-linux/tools:${HOME}/galaxynote/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools

The properties of the folder were still rwx rwx r_x but swiftkey was working...then I ran an app called Rescan Media Boot(which stops media scanner) and then the Swiftkey error showed up which said cant load language packs...
BTW, the other option where you have mentioned I can delete everything on the internal sd...the step to copy all the files of internal sd and copying back is just for backup purposes (to save my data) or is it something that is required for android to function...as I dont have anything important on the internal sd I can delete all the files directly?
It's for backup purposes. Apps also store save data in android and data folder so always good to keep a copy.
Out of curiosity why use the anti media scanner

Used the anti media scanner because everywhere people have suggested that on JB it is Media which eats a lot of battery...same thing was happening to me as well
Now, I tried to delete everything from the USB storage...it says that it is formatting USB storage but even after formatting the available space remains the same...is there anyway to do this wipe from CWM? is that safe?
Okay your advice on internal storage and this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1985101 solved it...
I was able to format the internal SD through computer and now it is mounted as writable
It looks that I had a bad file/folder/whatever on my internal storage, so the system put /sdcard (internal memory) on read only as it notice the bad thing.

[Q] Failed to mount /sdcard problem

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum, but I'm reading it for about 8 months now. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000. After flashing with Odin3 v1.83(with 512.pit file, bootloader, PDA, PHONE and CSC), and I got a green "PASS!" on it, and after phone rebooted in Recovery Mode, I've got following error while Copying media files:
E:Failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
After that, I tried flashing bunch of different ROM's but I always get the same error. Phone can go into Download mode, Recovery mode with no problem, I can also normally turn on phone and in a beggining I get a lot of "Force Close" pop-ups, but after that my phone works okay, I can go into settings and there I can see that there is no memory, so that means that my phone doesn't even sees my 8GB external micro sd card. When I try to open Camera, I get this error:
Turn off usb storage before using camera.
I currentlly have i9000XWJVZ 2.3.6 ROM on it, with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS(Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5). When I'm in Recovery mode and access my phone via ADB, and try to manually mount sdcard, this is what I get:
~ # mount sdcard
mount sdcard
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: I/O error
I've also tried partitioning my external 8GB micro SD card with linux(I found a video on youtube: "Samsung i9000 mmcblk0p2 error recovery"), and then tried to flash ROM on it, but I get the same error.
Can somebody please help me, I'm getting really desperate.
All ideas are welcome, Thanks.
Hi there! I have a similar problem. After updating from Android 2.3.4 Build MCGv7.6 ( I9000XXJVK) I keep on getting CWM. I can also return to download mode and use Odin with success - with as only result a changed CMW version at max. Returning to CWM 3.0.0.5 and stock rom Froyo doesn't result in a applied rom. When i try to mount /emmc and /sd-ext it simply states Error mounting /emmc! Even though I didn't format it! When I look in AROMA explorer in CWM from Semaphore_JB_2.9.12, I can see that both /emmc and /sdcard have ----- as permissions instead of rxwrx or something alike. If permissions are the problem here, Fix Permissions doesn't appear to have an effect on these two folders. Is there another way to restore these permissions?
Thanks guys for your time! :good:

Your tutorial was the first thing I tried, it fixed the wipe error, but the main error (E:Failed to mount /sdcard) stayed.
Possible solution is to Format your SD card by using SDFormatter (Windows)
01. Download "SDFormatter" from the link above
02. Install "SDFormatter"
03. Enable "USB Debugging Mode" from Developer Options in settings.
04. Connect your tablet to PC (USB).
05. Then, tap the "USB Strage Mode" to connect to PC.
06. Backup data on INTERNAL_SD card.
07. Run "SDFormatter".
08. Specify the drive letter of INTERNAL_SD in SDFormatter and click "(Option)" button.
09. "FORMAT TYPE" select "FULL OVERWRITE" and set "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSMENT" to "ON" and click "OK"
10. Now click "FORMAT" and wait for the procedure to complete. (Can take approximately 1 hour 40 minutes)
11. After format is completed you can recopy the backup files back onto the INTERNAL_SD
Let me know if that works
If not hopefully someone else can give more info

This worked!
It took me about an hour, and after it was finished, I was able to flash ROM without any errors. Thank you so much for this, you saved my phone.
No problem glad it worked out for you:good:

You could try changing the way you do it. I can't remember whether you should flash dbdata straight after the rom, or if you should let it fail to boot then go back into download mode and flash it.
I do remember though that it was a bit fussy with me like that, so try it both ways.
I also found that flashing your GB ROM twice, one after the other seemed to help sometimes too. (Just noticed that I've written a .txt file in my GB ROM folder on my PC reminding me to do this, so there must have been a reason for it - been a while since I've played with gingerbread so I can't remember why)
So there's a couple of things for you to try.

Flash the JVU Rom First with PIT and Root...
When Finished Root pull battery ....put battery back in after 30 seconds
Reset ODIN Flash dbdata ..Done
Hope this helps

Thanks both of you. I will try.
EwOkie - Should I use CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS for rooting phone or others?
CF Root is in the HOW TO GUIDE or HERE
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS is the correct one to use ...
Everythng you need is in there
