hey, i have a rooted lg optimus one, running the most current void rom(echo). i am currently using the stock 2GB micro SD card that it comes with. i recently purchased a class 6, 16GB high speed lexar SD card, because the other card just wasnt enough. can someone please please please, tell me step be step on how to get all the files on to my new card, and how to partition it correctly. please dont skip any steps or imply anything because i wont know how to do it. ie. enter these random ass codes. tell me where to enter them.
EDIT: OK everyone listen up, i am only going to tell you how to do this once. i made up this method and im sure there are better ways but this took about 5 mins. on my first try with complete luck.
1. make sure your new sd card is blank!
2. put your void rom or other rom on your new sd.
3. place in phone.
4. boot into custom recovery i use thunderg.
5. flash the void rom to your phone again!!!!
6. once its done reboot back into custom recovery again.
7. partition your sd.(ext.2 then 3 then 4)
8. put void onto your sd card again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. double check step 8.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10. flash void or other rom onto your rooted phone a second time.
11. reboot.
12. by your own means use any of the void options, and transfer the files from your original sd, to your new sd. download any missing apps again.
i hope this help any of you still learning in the ways of rooting and what not. ive already gone through 3 phones trying to root, but luckily this only needed one phone . and btw there is a new root out now, but for a guarenteed way, when you want to downgrade the phone to 2.2, you need to make sure that you have the correct service providers version, for koodo it is telus, and for others make sure you look it up. these KDZ files can be found easily on this site.
once you put that KDZ on your phone z4root should work no problem
this is for people who have a rooted phone and want to change sd cards without losing information, also if more experiments could be done with this, it would be a good idea to export your contacts to your sim card, as i lost all SIX of my contacts oooooooooo! lol. but if someone could find another way to get contacts back or even a better way to do this then that would be greatly appreciated

Hey there folks.
Just a quick one here. But does using a class 6 sd card in a G1 make much difference to the running of it?
I am talking of a rooted phone using A2SD.
I currently have the class 2 8GB card that came free with the phone but can grab a class 6 one pretty cheap off ebay.
Would it make a noticeable difference?
For A2SD alone, I think it won't make a big difference, especially if your reading speed is good enough.
I have decided that I will go for a class 6 card but I have a few choices and not sure which one to go for:
http://www.play.com/Search.aspx?sea...archstring=8gb+micro+sd&page=search&pa=search
The samsung one looks pretty good.
These prices reflect very closely the ones on ebay for the same/similar products so I would probably just buy from them.
Many Thanks

Get any class 6 you want but if you have alot of apps class 6 would be better or if you plan on using a hero rom or something that uses swap.
Cool.
Yes I am using a swap partition and have a fair few apps too.
I have just ordered the Samsung one as it had a higher transfer speed than the trandcend one.
Thanks
i just have a quick follow up question, as i have been wondering this exact same thread topic for awhile now (hope the OP doesnt mind)
something that says "10mb ram hack" means it is using the swap function right?
and also, if i buy a new sd card, do i need to just stick it in and (if A2sd is already installed on the custom rom) it will work? ive been holding on buying one because i didnt know whether i would have to go thru the whole root process again or something
many thanks
If you already have root access, you shouldnt have to do the whole process again.
I just got my Class 6 yesterday and switched it over with no problems (running SuperD).
I did it this way and it worked fine (senior members might have a better method):
I put in the new card and booted to recovery. Im using Amon recovery. I then just did a full wipe, and then partitioned using the command in the recovery window. After that, I enabled USB access from recovery and dragged the radio, spl, and rom to the newly partitioned sd card. I flashed radio, then spl, and then the rom and all worked fine.
I did have to install all my apps again, so if your wanting to save the apps you have installed now, you might need to do it a different way. I dont even think you actuallyl have to even flash the radio and spl again if you have already done it. I just did it to be sure.
Hope that helps a bit.

if you are just swapping sd cards, there is no need to flash SPL and Radio again. Those are flashed to the PHONE.
easiest way to swap sd cards quickly and easily is this...
use AMON-Ra recovery
go to console-
type in switchrom
now type switchrom -s sdchangebackup <---- you can change that name, this is just for demo purposes.
once it creates a nand backup and saves your stuff you have one or two choices.
1)pull that sdcard out of your phone, put it in a card reader
2)boot into android and mount the sdcard
once that is done, drag all the files from the sdcard into a folder on your desktop named whatever you would like (mine is SDSwitch)
now turn phone off and put NEW sdcard into phone. Boot into recovery and partition it using amon-ra recovery.
put the NEW sd card into card reader and drag all files from your backup folder onto the new card.
put NEW sdcard back into phone and boot back into recovery and go to console.
type switchrom
and then switchrom -r (a list will come up if you have other switchroms you can choose them but if you want to go back to EXACTLY what you had before just choose the one you named earlier in this process)
once it restores everything, boot it up and test it out. it should be back to where you were with no problems.
it seems like a long and tedious process but it only takes about 5-10 minutes and your phone is back to normal without having to reflash a ROM and get it back to all your apps and customized stuff.

Yeah I heard...but I haven't seen one, somebody else said they are too big for the sd slot on the G1....can't confirm that though, either way the TOPRAM, sdcard is the top of the line as far as Class 6 goes.
I'm running a Centon 16GB class 6 card (1GB A2SD EXT3, 96MB linux-swap) in my G1 and everything's running lightning fast.
I hope so I just ordered an 8 gig micro sd card class 6 from amazon. I have a class 4. I hope I can tell a difference. I want to run Hero Roms and from what I am reading you need the class 6 to do so.
yes, for hero roms, yes yes yes yes yes. yes and yes

Thank you, worked perfectly!!!
The SD card slot on my phone seems to be broken. I've tried multiple SD cards and none of them seem to get read, so I've concluded that it must be the phone.
Im trying to unroot it so I can send it to verizon for a replacement. I was kind of depending on this method to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
but obviously I need the use of the SD card. So I'm kind of in a pickle.
Is there any other way to do it? Something that doesnt need an SD card?
The "Official" 2.1 RUU Utility (= Leak-V3) requires no SD Card
MultiUpload.com - RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed _with_driver.exe
It runs on your Windows PC.
Charge your phone well (say, > 80%)
Turn it off
Plug it in to your PC (still off)
Start the Eris up in fastboot mode (Send+End)
Run the above (HTC) utility - follow the instructions on the screen.
Thanks, man. Just ran it. Worked perfectly.
Just got to install a few apps before I take it in so that it doesn't look too barebones >_>
This is really strange. I just put in the SD card, to see if it was still broken and it magically worked again @[email protected]
I tried with the same SD cards that I used when I was rooted and they all worked as well.
I guess this means I dont have to turn it in, but this is still very strange.

Bummer or Not Bummer? I'm not sure. Nothing like an intermittent problem to give you plenty of confidence.
Well, if you don't take it in, at least you will get more practice at rooting.
If you want to be one of cool kids on the block, you can update the unrooted RUU (= Leak-V3) software to the July 2010 OTA using the honest-to-goodness factory codes. You might want to do this anyway, because it will install the July 2010 HTC radio, if not for the "fun" involved.
Go visit this thread:
Consolidated HTC RUU, Leak, and OTA Downloads
and grab the "4th OTA" which converts 2.36.605.1 -> 2.37.605.4; the file name is
OTA_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.37.605.4_2.36.605.1_release.zip
You rename it to "update.zip", and put it on your SD card in the root folder, then:
- verify the file length and MD5 checksum (of the copy of the file on the SD card)
- charge your phone fully
- power your phone off and boot into recovery mode
(either Vol-Up+End, or HBOOT(Vol-Down+End) -> recovery)
- you will get that screen with the triangle and exclamation point; when that is showing, press Vol-Up+End again, and you will see the stock recovery menu.
- Choose the one that says something about SD:update.zip (or similar)
- Let it run through until it reboots (I can't recall, it may reboot twice).
Then, when you root this, you can take a Nandroid backup - then you will have a Nandroid backup of the July 2010 "Factory" configuration. The "cool kid on the block" part is that almost nobody has ever done this - most Eris rooters were already rooted when July 15-17 rolled around, or if they were stuck not rooted on Leak-V3, they got the OTA automatically. Very few people have actually ever used the factory recovery menu on the Eris. (I have done it just to look at it.)
Cheers

Did you happen to partition your SD cards for apps2sd on a rooted 2.1 ROM and then try installing a Froyo ROM? If so, that is an explanation - (most) of the Froyo ROMs will not mount an SD card with more than one partition on it.
If this is the case, and you still want a Froyo ROM, you can backup the contents of your SD card, use Amon's Recovery to partition it again (setting the size of the ext2 and swap partitions to 0 bytes), and you should be ok. If the fact that your SD cards were partitioned was the issue...
Good catch doogald - I just assumed that this wasn't the case because the OP mentioned more than one SD card.
No, I was using a Froyo rom.
Also, I forgot to point out that it wasn't the first time it's happened. The Last time, however, I was able to get it to work again after a reboot. When I did get it to work, half the stuff on the card was missing. Luckily I had it all backed up, so it wasn't too much of a hassle.
This time, I couldn't get it to recognize the card at all, even after several reboots and trying several different cards.
But like I said, it works now. Ill probably re-root it again this weekend when I have the time. Hopefully, things work out differently this time.
one day my phone decided to stop playing nice, and without reason, started boot screen looping.
flashed it with a 354 recovery.img, and then a 354 update.pkg and then installed streakdroid 1.9.1 over that, everything went swimmingly.
then weeks of stability later, I did a reset (not the first) and weird **** came up (from the bottom of the screen, the one that normally can't be rotated to... saying "send this device back for repair, performing format do not remove battery" or something like that.
nothing was happening, so I tried to turn it off, nothing, so I pulled the battery, reinserted it and again, ran fine.
then, a day or so later, I reset the phone, and now it just loops the dell logo.
I tried flashing a 351 recovery.img, and running a 351 update.pkg and still just the loop.
I tried a nandroid backup and it says it can't mount /data/ because e: does not exist
I seem to be able to flasheverything and anything (except the nandroid data) and I have no idea what to try now...
so if there's nothing more I can do, I will need to know what the current australian ROM version is so I can flash it and maybe get it repaired.
does anybody have any suggestions?

This sounds like the error I have seen people report with ClockWorkMod. Is that what you are using for a recovery? Have you tried StreakMod recovery?
yeah, I've only used streakmod
everything I've used has been made especially for the streak, afaik...
if all else fails simply swap out the internal sd card and put in a new one. flash it with qdl tool.
Had that same errors and phone was replaced because of internal memory problem.
It´s strongly recommended to flash the stock rom/recovery/baseband first - even if its going to loop on the bootscreen - before you let Dell replace your device! You know, flashing other roms than the official ones void your warranty!
sounds like a corrupt internal sd card, if u got warranty, use it, if not then ull need to disassemble to format it

Yes, this was what happened to me as well.
You can confirm this by doing the internal sd card test. This is accessed through fastboot, but I can't remember the number combination to get there. It's around here somewhere, just do a search.
From a FAQ that was on StreadDroid.com:
1. Turn off your Streak
2. Hold down the camera button all the way, as you turn on your Streak
3. At the white screen, dial in the code *#301# – This will open the engineering mode that allows you to run individual tests.
4. Dial in 10 then press Enter to run the ‘SD & SIM’ test
5. The “Internal SD” test should pass, and it should show “permanent write-nonprotect”.
internal SD card failed
internal SD:
SD card error!
CMD/Data test : PASS
Permanent write-protection
I'm assuming the best and thinking that means that the SD card had a boo boo and it had nothing to do with my interference...
so can peeps help me one more time and tell me which recovery/ROM/baseband is the current australian builds? the warranty guys are anal about that sort of stuff...
and a stupid question while I'm on the topic, is the BB amss.mbn file for a build in the update.pkg for that same build? if it's different, I'm going to need a link for the amss.mbn file because I don't know what corner of the internet they're hiding them atm...

this is the latest official australian build its 318BB... u probably just got a dud unit, thats my guess..
i remember wen i got my N95 yrs ago i got a dud sd card.. i told em its just the sd card but theyre stupid and nokia replaced the hole unit just in case
like i said, if u have warranty, just use it
PS. when u get ur new unit, be sure to use the 354 rom, its uses the the australian standard frequencies..
either 11 or 00 regions work best.. check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=File:Dell_Streak.png#ROMs
There's currently no such thing as an 'australian build'
Streaks sold there are either the US or EU model (i cant recall which) and use the 00/retail roms. Of those 351 is the latest 00 rom.
If your innerSD is hosed how are you going to install a rom? the rom lives in the innerSD
I had a big long writeup, but the forum timed me out...
I've looked up some YT video's about how to get to the internal card
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w4AbtIGp8A
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f9N99gAP3w
the first video shows me where the internal SD card is located, the second shows me a cleaner way to get to it...
I need a smaller star screwdriver than what I have to get to it, even the tech guys at my work don't have a screwdriver THAT small...
but I have a few questions, I've looked some, but I don't think this kind of info is easy to find...
so, questions:
what are the size and speed specs of the internal SD card slot? logic dictates that it'll be the same as the external card slot, (32Gb class ?)
I've read that there are three slots inside, can I use all three?
if so, are they only accessed by apps like ASTRO and the like, or can I get to them via the data cable?
has anybody else done this kind of thing? is there anything I need to know?
is there anything else I can mod/tweak while I'm in there?
and, finally, how sweet would it be to get a triple calss 10 RAID 0 going on in there? I'm sure it's all but impossible, but unless I ask, how would I get to know right?

Hardware Hacking the Streak – thread at MoDaCo, main focus is replacing the internal SD Card with a faster, larger card
How-to Increase streak storage up to 62 GB – an extension/continuation of the hardware hacking thread at MoDaCo
If your phone is still in warranty you should use it, there was a known problem with some Streaks being shipped with a bad internal SD Card.
If it is out of warranty and you choose to replace the inner card I can state from experience that you can easily get access to the card by cutting the back cover with a razor/exacto knife. There is a pic in the thread at MoDaCo that illustrates this. Of course the phone I altered was already dead and I was not able to resurrect it, so I have no way of knowing if my surgery had any ill effects.
A pic of the one I altered is attached.
Edit: the red text is right on the actual internal SD card. You move it to the left to remove it.
be sure that u kno that when u open it up u completely void all warranty, its not like flashing. YOU WONT GET AWAY WITH IT.

I got two new class 10 SDHC cards, a 4G (and a 16G, for the external )
I pried it open with my fingernails, and using a T5 torx screwdriver I opened the case, swapped out the internal SD straight out of the box and closed it up.
I had streakmod 3.2.8, streakdroid 1.9.1, performed a streakmod factory reset and it just started, no formatting, no warnings, no need for a nandroid, it even used my launcherpro settings (which is strange, because someone on this thread mentioned that the internal SD card is where the ROM information goes...)
after using tools like SD booster and SD tools I found optimal speeds, and it's working good.
I expected a better quadrant score considering I went from a no name generic card to a 20x class 10, but still, it works, and for $8 it was worth it.
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.
sent from my legend, currently using extream legend fuse™
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.
I bought a cheap phone to use when I travel to "dangerous" places. The phone is:
BLU Grand Energy
Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)
Mediatek MT6580
Mali-400MP2
The issue is that it only has 8GB internal storage, which is almost full with System + apps that can't be moved to SD Card. So I inserted a SD Card to get more storage. It was all great and fun, until I noticed that after every update the apps on the SD Card goes back to internal storage and I lose all my sessions/credentials, having to transfer them back to SD Card one by one and re-login in all of the apps. This is ridiculous and I can't continue with that. So I decided to root the device, but I couldn't find any tutorial specific for this phone.
Basically, I just want to root the device to properly install the apps on the SD Card and avoid this ridiculous "back and forth", I won't be tweaking with anything else as this isn't even my main phone. Is there a ELI5 (Explain Like I'm Five) tutorial for that? I've read that I first need to flash a Custom Recovery, so I can do a dump of the boot image, then I alter this image with Magisk and flash it back in.
Right now, I'm stuck on "flash a Custom Recovery" following this XDA tutorial, it was all good until step 3 said that "Now you have all the basics to get started, so you’ll want to find the specific instructions for how to flash the recovery on your phone. Check your device’s XDA forum for more info.", the problem is that no one mentions my phone anywhere, it seems I'm the only one who bought this thing. Also, the tutorial said that I need a Rooted Android Device to install a custom recovery, but I need a custom recovery to root, this is a loophole, a nightmare
Can anyone help me with CLEAR instructions?
