[Q] sdcard help!

i was running cos-ds when i decide to try a new kernel: auto-boot-2.6.35.13-farmatito-pershoot-ds-BFS+-20110518 (1).zip . So i went to recovery (cwm) wiped cache partition and installed the kernel from the file menu. when i rebooted all my apps had gone since they had been on the sd-ext. when i checked the sd-ext under settings>storage and scroll down to sd-ext it says unavailable. so im wondering if i wasnt supposed to flash it via recovery. the previous times iv tried flashing a kernel it has worked. how do i get my apps back? is the sd corrupte and do i hsve to re partition? what do i do?

well im no pro on flashing kernels but im pretty sure your supposed to flash them after flashing a rom.... so maybe thats something to do with it...? since you lost all your apps anyway try to re flash rom than that kernel right after and see if anything happens... maybe you need to have a specific ext... 2,3,4 who knows.. lol sorry for your troubles

Sometime it's best to wipe the SD card and re-partition your SD card. I tipically do it when I flash a new ROM. Then re-install the apps.

i agree!!! every once in a while its a good idea to re partition your sd card because it's more like a complete wipe. sometimes ill even do an mtd removal here and there.. (i use custom mtd for my SenseLX rom )

[Q] Help with Apo-K-lypse

I wanted to try out a ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Ace so I opted for Apo-K-lypse by Sampj75, link below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2154567&nocache=1
So I followed this guide on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145
I first rooted the phone using Universal_gb_root_v25.zip (I checked to make sure the phone was rooted)
I than installed CWM.
Finally I put the Apo-K-lyps.zip into the phone booted into CWM, did Wipe Data/Factory Reset and installed the Apo-K-lypse ROM by choosing from SD card than rebooted the phone.
The problem: The phone boots up but gets stuck on, "A N D R O I D." I've tried reinstalling the ROM but no luck, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Please can someone help me any advice will be useful, even if you know what the problem is that will do .

What is your current version of android .. 2.1.1 ..??
If the installation is done properly redone Wipe Data / Factory ..
Otherwise ..
Flash KPH with Odin..
The root is not necessary ..
Installs CWM this thread ..
Put Apo-K-lypse in your sdcard ..
Wipe Data / Factory ..
Install Zip From Sd Card
Choose Zip From Sd Card "† Apo-K-lypse † ®"
Rom .. Restart
Otherwise creates the partition on SD card (normally not compulsory)

Hi first of all thank you for the fast response but sadly I really needed a phone for work, so I just installed Unoffical Cooper CM 10.1 which is running fine.
BUT I'm still interested in testing out your version.
My previous Android Version was 2.3.3 when I originally tried your firmware, my new version is 4.22.
Baseband: S5830XWKP8.
When I originally installed it I followed your procedure below:
Put Apo-K-lypse in your sdcard ..
Wipe Data / Factory ..
Install Zip From Sd Card
Choose Zip From Sd Card "† Apo-K-lypse † ®"
Rom .. Restart
It didn't work so I tried it a couple of more times didn't work I also left phone on for 10 mins took out battery restarted etc...
I don't have a slot on my pc for memory card or a reader so I won't be able to partition my SD card but once I get one I'll try it again.
Thanks for your help.

It is advisable to flash the rom XXKPH by Odin after install this rom CM10
The partition is not a requirement ..
Otherwise ..
Reboot into CWM
Advance
Partition SD Card
choose 512M
And 0M Swap
OK ..
Wipe Data / factory reset
restart
Sorry for the late reply..

Phone Frozen after flash

I was using CM10.1 RC1 by bieltv.3. After he updated the the rom to RC2 I flashed it today after taking a back up.
I then restored the apps I used to have on my SD card, rebooted and moved to SD. Then I restored the remaining apps (twitter, swiftkey etc). The phone froze when i tried to set un check the notification for swiftkey. I waited for sometime and removed the battery.
On restart it loaded until my lock screen. I was waiting for dash clock to load but it didn't only to find out my phone had frozen again. Tried this twice without any success. So i reflashed the ROM after wiping cache/ data/ system/ dalvik cache. It now got stuck on the screen where i select the language.
I then decided to restore the backup taken from CWM 5.2.0.6. While restoring .android_secure it failed.
When i tried to wipe data it got stuck while wiping .android_secure.
Then I reflashed CWM and then wiped again. This time the wipe worked.
Then i tried flashing the RC1 that I had been running all this time. It too got stuck on the language selection screen.
Wiped everything again and now I'm trying to restore the CM10.1 Backup again. Currenly it's been waiting on restoring .android_secure for the last 15 mins. Not really sure what to do.
I'm currently out of ideas. Need help
Update: I tried to do an advanced restore and only restored the boot and system but it still gets stuck and then reboots/ or just stays stuck. it does unfreeze for a few seconds some times but then freezes again :/
after I wipe the dalvik cache if i select show log i get
failed to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (no such file or directory)
...
...
...
....
After reading about it I have come to the conclusion that my Internal SD partition is corrupt / damage since I can't mount SD-EXT
Am I correct?

Did you try to fash a Stock via Odin, then flash root + cwn 5.0.2.6. fix and finally flash CM10.1 again and restore your back up?
I think your partitions are corrupted... Were you using sd-ext scripts? as int2ext? wel try with the first method

I wasn't using any scripts.
I used odin and flashed the stock rom. Phone starts up goes to unlock screen and all looks fine. after about 1 min the phone starts to lag very very badly until it stops responding and then shuts down completely.
Didn't root or flash cwm still.

Maybe the files got corrupted somehow. Try downloading the ROM again and use another SD card.
That might fix it.
Good luck.

I forgot to mention i did wipe data and cache after flashing via odin. So that didn't help
Edit- ok I noticed my sd card wasn't being detected so I removed it and rebooted and everything seems to be fine :/
Can a faulty sd card slow down/ make your phone become unresponsive?

Final Update:
The whole thing was caused by my SD card. I should have checked how the phone responds to with the SD card removed.
I'm suspecting it must have happened while using Titanium backup. Good thing I managed to get most of the titanium back up files copied to my PC so I can restore them later.
Things I overlooked: the phone only locked up a few seconds after it starts (i.e. gets to the lock screen). That's when the phone detects the SD card.
I need to figure out how to format the card now since I don't have another method to connect to the PC and the phone isn't detecting the card.
Thanks for all the help.

Is it detecting the card in CWM? If so, you could format it that way.
I got a miniSD card adapter with my phone? Did you not?

so your Sd card was corrupted, use a micro sd reader

Managed to format the SD by mounting USB using CWM.
CWM refused to format saying the card was read only. but the pc did a quick format

if you have an ext partiiton then it should work
are you using cwm 6 or above
if yes then try flashing ultimatum with swap all through cwm 5

Flash raw r4 kernel from recovery. Then reboot into recovery. Go to mounts and storage and format system, data and cache. Then flash the new rom.

here is what i did

2.boot to philz recovery install raw r4 kernel
3.reboot to recovery now is CWM-BASED RECOVERY V6.0.4.4
4.went to mounts and storage and format system data cache
5.installed sweetrom v11.1_LTA rebooted
6.stuck on boot screen
7.tested omni rom again the same it stays on boot screen
when i try to install from the sd card i see that there is an extra partition sd card0 and sd card1 on the first partition it contains lost dir,twrp/,clockwokmod and the other one my roms shouldnt be only one????
any other idea?

One is your internal and other is external sd. When you say stuck on boot screen? What exactly do you see? The Samsung flashing logo? Of that then it takes a while to boot.

Failed to mount efs? Hmm.. Check in your internal sd card if you have any file named efs backup or efs auto backup of 20 MB in size?

Sorry I think you are confused...You have flashed raw kernel for 4.4 roms, then you've installed sweetrom that is 4.1...I'm sure that you stuck on boot. Search for a 4.4x rom, flash raw kernel and you'll see will work. with raw, internal sdcard is /emmc. If you want to install sweetrom you have to flash Philz kernel. See roms threads.

Flash PhilZ kernel again and then flash aroma file manager to check if there is an efs backup in the internal storage.
