Hello,
I have a small problem with my wallaby at the moment. It somehow got hard reset (no idea how, probly my brother messing with it) but lukily i took an SD backup last week. I came to restore it just and it says 'Unknown restore information error' and where it says Space Needed it says 4194303.99KB (assuming its taking my whole SD card size or something)
Any ideas what i can do?
Thanks
cant help sorry but i think it would prob be easier for people to help you if you state which program you did the backup with
and unlike sooo many posts in these forums it would prob fit better in the general forums then in the device spc forum

Hi everyone!
I have (what I think is) a huge problem on my phone and after looking in tons of forums for solutions I found that the people here seem to really be able to help me.
I'm new to android phones... So please bare with me...
So I bought this phone in second hand from a friend who was in need of some cash for college (I don't really like to buy used stuff but...), and it came rooted with cyanogenMod7 but I was having trouble cause the phone wouldn't recognize my sd card and I couldn't connect it to my pc so I tryed to change it back to its original settings...
Its a vodafone 845 (huawei U8120)..
A friend of mine tried to help and we found this recovery menu (Clockwork recovery v3) and he chose some format options (format boot, system and data) and now the phone is useless! It still doesn't recognize my SD card or my pc, I can get into this recovery menu again but cant seem to fix the problem!
Other than that all the phone does is show the initial hourglass forever...
I would be so gratefull if someone could help! Thank you in advance!

Well you wiped the phone, so there's nothing to boot into.
You need to put a rom on the root of the SD card (not in any folders). Make sure the rom is made for your device. Boot into recovery and flash the rom, you should have a working phone after that.
Thank you for you help!
Now the only problem that stands is that the phone doesn't mount my sd card... Its an 8gb kingston, maybe I should get one with less capacity? The previous owner used a 4gb card and she said she never had any trouble regarding that...
Although the phone specifications on the net say it can handle cards up to 16gb :S
Have you tried mounting the SD card in clockwork mod as the usb disk drive?
Its found under mounts/storage.

Ok guys, I've gotten as far as flashing the rom!!
Made huge progress in exchange for several hours of sleep xD
Now the only problem that stands is that when I choose the option "flash zip from sd card" I get this:
"E: No signature (242 files)
E: verification failed
Installation aborted"
And I'm lost again, yet soooo close to fixing my phone! :/

There should be an option somewhere to turn off signature verification. If you can find that option, toggle it off and try again.
You should try installing the original Firmware.Or Reinstall CM7
I got very similar problem. Have u tried to install different sd card. Maybe current one is broken like in my case?
Note: I do not have this device
See [GUIDE]All Huawei new&old phones-Install Stock Rom-Full Reset
Procedure:
1) Download stock ROM from HERE (im guessing you want Vodaphone UK)
2) Format your SD card to FAT32 (plug it into computer, right click on device, format, follow instructions)
3) Create the folder "dload" (without the quotes of course) on to the root (top level) of your SD card.
3) Extract the UPDATE.APP from the stock ROM and place it in "dload"
4) Power off your phone and put sd card in.
5) Power on by pressing POWER+RED_BUTTON+VOLUME_UP
If done correctly you will see a progress bar saying "UPDATING!"
Edit: this will reset the device to normal, however it will of course require a working SD Card. Try using a friends, try using your card in other devices (other phones, computers, etc).
To test SD Cards in your phone:
1) Insert Card
2) Boot into recovery
3) Go to Mounts & Storage menu
4) Plug device into computer
5) Choose "Mount sdcard over USB" (or similar)
6) If it shows up on the computer it is working, and you may as well use it to carry out the steps above
Note, if you are still checking for sdcard after resetting the phone, you will need to devise another method as the recovery will be replaced. For example use the storage menu in system settings, as this will show stats on the sdcard if it is readable.
My phone is working!
The problem with the SD card was that it was password protected, so I used another phone to disable the password, about the ROM, i just picked another one, I actually found it here on XDA! The celestial teapot, I really like it
Now all I want to know is if its possible to have multitouch on my phone?
And by the way, THANK YOU ALL for your help guys! You're awsome!

No problem, glad to help. Glad you got everything up and running too Multitouch is included in the kernel (at least on my device). If you can find a custom kernel for your phone, make sure it's compatible with your rom. I'm not familiar with your phone, so you'll need to do some checking on kernels. I'm not sure if multitouch is also a hardware limitation or not, so if you don't have multitouch at all it may not be possible. Kernels determine the number of touch points on my phone, if you don't have it at all then it may not be possible or there may be another mod for it.
If you can flash a custom kernel to achieve this, remember to do a nandroid backup first. Always do a backup when flashing anything. If they start to take up too much space, delete the old ones and just keep the most recent. Also remember to only wipe dalvik and cache when flashing a kernel.
Again, since I'm not familiar with your phone you'll need to do some research on these things first. The best thing you can do is read, read, and read some more. If you get stuck again, the good people here will always be able to help you out.
Right I'm new to android and am having a problem I just picked up a doogee 120 handset for very cheap so thought I'd give it a go the only issue I could see was it came with virtually no internal storage not a problem I'll just put a memory card in and use that, oh how wrong was i . not ever using android before I wasn't aware of the issue of apps going on the memory card after reading many threads I'm now confused people saying it can be done others saying it can but you must Root so can someone please give a definitive answer can I store my apps on my SD card. I read you can change the default install directory so they can be installed directly, also I read you can get apps to move them some of which you need to be rooted to use others rooting is not needed and someone else said you can partially move apps using folder mounting, so can someone please help as I'm stuck for how to try this, I should mention I'm in jellybean 4.2.2 and I have no problem in rooting my phone but again not sure how to I have jailbroken a 3gs and iPad 2 so rooting is fine if someone can point me to a guide. Thanks
So first of I would like to get this out of the way and mention that I am totally new to ALL of this. I had nowhere else to go after numerous attempts to figure this out on my own so now i have posted this... I rooted my LG Optimus L9 P769 strictly to enable my phone to tranfer all of its data (like my apps) to the external SD card because this phone is junk. It doesnt allow me to unless I am rooted and now that I am, I dont know how. I hate this phone and i bought an expensive SD card for nothing because I cant even move my apps to it. I have tried Apps2SD and a bunch of other stuff only to find out that it was all a waste of time. I am aware that my phone has been made this way and i honeslty dont know why google or whoever is responsible would enslave anyone with tis phone like that. If this helps any: i read somewhere that i might just need to 'enable a second partition on my sd' i dont know how to do any of that (im a complete noob) or if that is even the solution. Please help before this phone ends up getting chucked out of my window and don't hate because i am not knowledgeable on android, roms, rooting etc.

Hi Kidd_Mando, you could create a second partition in your SD (I'm using ext2 format for my sd-ext partition with success) and use the free app Link2sd. You can google it and find tutorials about it (I normally do it with MiniTools Partition Wizard via PC, but there are more methods).
Don't forget backup your SD in your PC before starting.
Cheers. Good luck.

hi, i bought a cheap and cheerful chinese tablet, works well, but the internal memory was partitioned leeving little room for "internal memory" so i did this (try) to fix it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2412319,
so i started link to sd and it said partition not detected, so i restarted the tablet, and now it is saying "available memory 0"
i have nothing installed and i cant access internal storage via pc anymore, it shows the drive letter but when clicked it asks to "insert memory into drive .."
after looking around, it would seem that i need to re-flash it, or just put up with it.
this is my tablet http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/351019060457?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
so either i need a rom or i need to re-format the internal sd.
can someone help me find a solution please?
i have found that i can see the internal storage from mtp on pc, but i cant format'
it is saying that the drive size is 0.00mb
anyone?

Similar issue - internal storage that isn't usable (different reason, but same end result - unusable storage). Look at post #5 for a rough idea of what might help. Basically you'll need to find the partition block your storage is located on (typically different for different devices) and erase the partition completely and then reformat it.

Hello guys, Michael here.
I have a pretty big problem, but I'm sure I'll be able to get some help here. I've searched a lot of various forums, but still, I wasn't able to fix it. Here it is:
Some time ago, I tried to flash a new rom with CWM recovery through install zip with sd card, and I got this text: "Can't mount SDcard", or smth like "can't read sdcard".
You can say I was a bit worried, since I do this very oftenly, and, like usually, I did a complete wipe, including system and stuff like that.
I started searching for a solution, and attempted various fixes, but none of them work. (Fixes like setting my sdcard from logical to primary, attempting to use some other cwm version etc.)
And then another problem appeared. I realized I'm not able to copy files from my pc to my sd card, a message appeared: "the disk is write protected". Again, I attempted many different fixes (removing read protection through regedit, through cmd, tried to format...) Again, sadly, nothing worked.
After a lot of tries to get something to work, it seemed I rendered the card completely unusable! I put it in another phone, and it said "card may be broken, attempt to format), and I wasn't even able to mount it anymore! Luckily, somehow, it got solved - I did this: I entered TWRP recovery and it, surprisingly, successfully formatted. Then I was able to mount it again, and I was even able to enter the option "install zip from SD card (from cwm)"!
But, the problem that's keeping me from installing another ROM remained, I'm still not able to copy any files from my PC to my SD card.
So now, I come here, with my final attempt to fix the problem, talking to you guys. I really think of this as the last resort, as I searched a lot of forums but wasn't able to find the answer. I apologize for the long text, but I hoped I explained clearly.
Any advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!
Yours trully, Michael
