i have created my own rom....how can i install the new rom on to my sx56.
I also want to back up my old rom just in case.... :wink:
anyone have any ideas
Thanks
Use sd card method of flashing, you will need xdatools plus choose sd card flashing when cooking rom. Unzip downloaded file then use xdatools to program the sd card through card reader on pc. You can backup existing rom either with xdatools or using bootloader method to backup to sd card.

to install an exe rom i put the exe file on the wallaby and then just run it using the stylus by tapping on the file. (done when off the cradle)
exe worked like a charm

Folish question, but have you installed Active Sync?
Also you can try this one if it helps....

I am new and have searched and found out how to flash a ROM, BUT I am not clear on some things. How can I tell if my SD card is fat32, and how do I flash a new ROM using vista, I need detailed instructions step by step because I cant afford to screw up my phone but I definately want to get everything out of it possible. Pease dont bash me I am willing to speak to someone over the phone to make it easier if willing. Thanks in advance!

It should tell you everything you need to know about flashing. It got me through my first flash without any problems! Good luck and happy flashing!
This thread is a good one also; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477235
I already looked at this but still dont understand if my card is fat32 or not?

Put your card in a card reader and connect it to a PC. Once Windows sees the drive. right-click on it in "My Computer" and choose "Properties" (I believe that this is similar in Vista). It should tell you what type of partition your card has under "File system:" (FAT or FAT32). If its FAT32, you're golden. If its not, you can right-click and choose "Format", and make sure you choose FAT32 as the partition type.
You have to plug your card into your PC. When it shows up as an external drive... simply right click and select properties. Vista should tell you how the card is formatted. If it's FAT16, then copy yer data off and format the card FAT32. Then copy data back and yer ready to start.

Honestly, if you don't know how to check the format of your card (or re-format it), you might not want to start flashing your phone yet.

If you are able to connect to you PC via USB connection, you will see you phone show up when you click My Computer or Computer (eg as HTC_P4600). Click the phone and you'll see 2 drives: "\" and Storage Card.
Right click the Storage Card and choose properties. I will show you under File System whether it is FAT32 or not.
Alright if I use activesync to flash does the SD card still need to be fat32 beacuse I tried formatting it and it is stating it is "write protected" and wont let me.

**Warning** I suggest you read the post above yours. Be very careful on what you are doing to your device if you don't know what to do.....
when I explore the card while in the phone it states it is fat32 so I guess I am ok with that. NOw I will flash a ROM using activesync

Note that HardSPL may not be enough if you are trying to flash to a ROM from a different device like Diamond, Touch HD.
You may need Security Unlock.
I highly suggest you read this thread about flashing, CID and Security Unlock.
microSD format
How big is your microSD card? If it's greater than 2 GB then it's fat32.
You really need to do a lot of reading before you even consider flashing your phone! Start with the sticky posts at the top of this forum. You don't want to end up with a $400 paperweight!
Well whn on the tricolor screen it is running 1.90 OliNex after the hardspl, and I downloaded the ROM I want to flash, took out my SD and sim, next I was going to sync with USB wait till activesync is running and follow the rest of the directions. sounds simple enough, I am computer friendly but I am a facilitator,trainer, and instructor so I like to know every little step possible to make sure everything is covered like I do for my classes, thats all.
Hi All
I recently had to restore my Xperia x10i to stock firmware with flash tool. All that is fine and the phone it working once again
But now the phone says "Sd Card Blank or has an Unsupported Filesystem" and even my laptop says it must be reformated,
If i procede to format (with any formatting tool) The computer brings back an error and i cannot complete the proccess.
The strangest thing about it though is the fact that laptop says the card has 1.3TB of storage, which is vastly incorrect as it is only a 2GB card.
If anybody can help with my problem it would be much appreciated
thanks
You're sd card is corrupted. better buy a new one buddy..
I would've thought there would be some way to fix this :/
thanks anyways
Edit: If i do chkdsk with command prompt, the laptop comes back with, the type of file system is RAW
have you tried formatting it on your phone?
hey mate, have u try to repair it using ur pc?
at ur pc, open my computer
right click the sdcard drive
click properties, select the tools tab
then click on error-checking
it should help..
try tis b4 formating ur sdcard
Thanks, i'll try that when I get home. The fail that is Windows XP wouldnt let me do anything!
I'll let you's know if it helps

if u had previous 2.1 rom with partition sdcard and switch to 2.2 rom, for sure u will have notification blank sdcard because 2.2 have native app2sd which does not required 2nd partition

Hi there....
After hundreds of program installed on sd cards, after hundreds of rom, i have my SD full of unused S**t.
Now its time to clean up, but i dont know how to recognize unnecessaries folder.
I have search on market and forum but with no luck.
Can someone suggest me a program to clean SD from old folder/file/ecc ecc??
ty in advance
Format in Windows .
Format via recovery mounts and storage .
jje
Make a backup of everything to somewhere on your PC and just format the SD card.
If you figure there's something you still need, copy it back from the PC and dump the rest.
// EDIT
jje is haunting me, he always posts while I type today xD
maybe i was not clear...
i know how to format a SD i need a program to clear the unused file and folder, keep untouched the used one
(somenthing like Regedit Cleaner).
Ty for help
You could try
market.android.com/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm&feature=search_result
if you're rooted. had this on my Hero, don't remember if it was any good though
Works like charm... Ty vm.

CWM is super easy to use......go the OP of the CWM beta1 thread and he elxplains the ins and outs of getting into CWM. once your in it....all you have to do is have the file at the root of the SD card and go to install zip/install zip of SD/ then choose the zip and flash.
i do not have the beta on my phone yet, but i would just check the OP he seems to have laid it out pretty well.
You dont even need to have the file anywhere special on your SD card either. Just somewhere where you can find it because once you select install zip from sd card you have to navigate where you put it.

If you didn't put a microSD card in your phone for extra storage it won't have a "external SD" folder.
I do have a 16g sd , it has the. Ext sd card fie but was not there

Ok well open up the "my files" app and scroll down to see if a "external_sd" folder exists. If it isn't there then go to settings -> storage, and make sure the SD card is mounted.
If you download a Rom directly from your note it should be in a folder called "download"

Well "my files" shows the sd card, and the settings only shows unmount option for safe removel, so I'm sure its mounted

Not sure if I should have created a new thread for this but here goes. I flashed CWR through Odin yet when I go into recovery it's still stock recovery?
Did I do something wrong, I got success in Odin?
EDIT: I figured it out, my bad.
So i was trying to install this ROM, but it didn't work. And i accidentally wiped out my whole system and the only thing my s3 GT-i9300 can do are CWM and download mode. It got the backup on my Mac but how am I suppose to upload my backup to my phone? My Android File Transfer won't work so what should i do now??? (I am starting to get worried) It just stucked in the samsung screen
Sorry my English is not really good not so forgive me.
Upload the backup on an SD card with another device (card reader/other phone etc) and then place the card on your phone and install ZIP package from external SD. Hope this helped.
*edit* also why would you install a GT-I9505 rom on a s3 ?!??!?!

I have no clue. Probably a bad backup file. I guess you can try a couple more times (wipe cache etc every time) if it fails just install a new rom from xda dev forums (this time made for your s3!) to get your phone running.
