inspired by the other thread with the icon... I made a new one and attached the autorun... just unzip to your root of your sd card and make them hidden.. unattach and attach and viola!
Any idea why the Streak would be erasing the "autorun.inf" file each time I connect it? The "DellStreak.ico" is still on the root but the inf file gets wiped each time I connect it and it's driving me crazy.
I use these icons on all my devices to identify them visually and this is the only one that's giving me this problem

no clue why this is happening to yours... did you try making the autorun.inf read-only?
I read somewhere here in the forum, although not here in the Streak threads that Froyo by default deletes and autorun.inf files it finds on either the internal or external sd cards.... any truth to that or a workaround for it?

Well that's the very point of my question.... the autorun.inf file I put on the root of the SD card gets erased. My question earlier was how do I keep this from happening.
I create an autorun.inf file that says:
[autorun]
icon=.\DellStreak.ico (this is what's in the file if I put a hidden icon on the root of the SD card)
or
[autorun]
icon=autorun\DellStreak (this is what's in the file if I put the hidden icon within a folder that's called "autorun" on the root of the file)
Either way, the icon is still there in the root of the SD card, so is the "Autorun" folder with another DellStreak.ico icon inside of it, and no matter which approach I take, when I disconnect the Streak and reconnect it, the autorun.inf file has been erased. Thus that leaves Windows without a directory command to look for the icon when it gets connected to the computer.
I hope I haven't lost you in what I'm doing. What I am doing is correct, well at least it's correct for any other device I connect to any other PC I have ever used.
I have flash drives, sd chips, external hard drives, and I have these files in all of them so that when I am looking at all the drives on the My Computer page, I see the icon associated with that drive, not just a generic icon and a letter.
Aight I think I got it to work now....
Disconnect the Streak from the computer and uncheck USB debugging.
Reconnect to the computer and places the files on the SD of the Streak like you want them, read-only and hidden. Mount and unmount from the computer a couple times to make sure you .inf file is correct and you are seeing the icon by the drive letter.
After a couple of successful attempts I got brave and went back and rechecked USB debugging and the file was still on the SD after a couple of disconnects.
I don't know enough about what's going on for this process to have worked, I just got lucky
Edit: no longer working this morning, the autorun is once again gone from the SD card (this is driving me crazy, I see no good reason for this sort of programming)

Hi there
I have a big problem with my phone,every time that i try to save a program on memory card i can't access the icon, it appear like corrupt and impossible
to find the program.I can access the program from my phone using the file explorer for example:
Memory card/program/ if i do it this ways it work's but not from the program section.
At the beginning i thought that was a problem with my memory card,so then i've bought another new one, Sandisk but i still have this problem!
Is it a problem of my device for example the slot of the memory card?
Does anyone had my same problem?
Please Help Me!
Can someone help me please!!!

Hi tetsuokaneda,
Your problem was broken link between shortcut file and executable file of your application!
You can use File Explorer to:
- Delete some died shortcut in "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/".
- Go to "/Storage card/Programs/Your Applications" and make a shortcut from executable file again
- Move a new shortcut to "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" folder
You can check by press Start/Programs, if it shows the right icon it is possible to active. If not, you have to soft reset you device. Event, you must Hard Reset!
Lucky!

maybe this ROM you are using doesnt support installing programs to microSD. try flashing to a different rom and formatting your micro sd and see if it happens again.

Hmmm...no idea then. Dumb question, but it is named "update.zip," and not "Update.zip," right?
As was stated before, make sure you are placing the file on the internal sd card. You also might consider redownloading the root file that you are attempting to use on the off chance that it is an issue with that file, even if you have previously used it.

This is probably completely unrelated, but are you using Windows?
Yes. 7. 64bit
This is dumb, but turn on "view file extensions" or whatever in Windows and make sure that the file isn't named update.zip.zip. Almost certainly not the problem, but worth a shot just to check.
Hope you figure it out.

Okay, I don't know how this happened, but I have a strange directory on my external SD card called "D/cuments".
Here is the strange thing. It doesn't show up in root explorer. However, if I adb shell in, I can see it. Also, in Windows explorer, I can see it. But I can't delete it.
If I set my USB connect to PC Mode, I can rename it and delete it from Windows explorer, but it reality, it doesn't happen. If I adb shell in, I'll still see the "D/cuments" folder when I do an ls. If I do an ls -l in adb shell, it not there.
If I set USB connection to USB Mass Storage mode, I can still see the "D/cuments" folder in Windows explorer, but I cannot delete it or rename it as I get the following error:
Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk.
I have no idea how this file showed up on my SD card.
Any ideas? I really want to avoid having to reformat the card, but I guess my only recourse is to copy everything over, reformat the SD card, and then copy everything back.
Thanks!
Haha...sorry I was about to suggest u format the card before I read the last part of ur post
Had u installed any new apps recently? Or been messing around with ur sdcard?

I had been restoring some nandroid backups, but that's about it.
I'm in the process of backing up the SD card and getting ready to reformat it. <sigh> Since it's 32gb and I have my music on it, it's going to take some time. Yuck!
I wonder if it has just been there for a long time but u just never noticed it b before lol
But I was gonna say if it ain't a big file and it isn't hurting anything u might as well just leave it there instead of screwing with it and possibly killing your card some how

It's empty and takes up zero storage. It's just kind of annoying seeing it there.
What's really strange is, if I use the default ls command in ADB, it shows up. If I do an ls -l, it doesn't show up.
Code:
# ls
ls
...
Documents
com.espn.score_center
Cut the Rope
data
[B][COLOR="Red"]D/cuments[/COLOR][/B]
download
ezPDFReader
...
#
#
#
# ls D*
ls D*
D/cuments: No such file or directory
#
Then, if I use the ls command in BusyBox, it still doesn't show up. It's really strange.
I don't know if it could have been malware, but I don't run any suspicious applications. All my apps are purchased from the Market or Amazon Market, other than of course, various flash zip files from XDA, but even then, the only things I've flashed/installed that are not from the market are as follows:
Eclipse 1.3
2.3.4 build.prop Mashup
DX2 Battery Fix
BSR
All of these I downloaded from XDA and have used for months, so I've never seen this before.
I did have other directories show up that I was able to delete that looked like the wonderful Windows short-hand for long file names. You know, those stupid filenames with tildes (~) in them to fit the 8.3 filename format? Really strange.
The only thing I can think of that might have caused this, now that I think of it, was when I was connected via PC Mode and was copying files from my SD card to my hard drive. It hung and wouldn't stop and I had to go, so I tried cancelling the copy and it wouldn't cancel. I then tried to eject the phone via the windows "remove hardware" quick access icon and that didn't work, so I had to just pull the USB cable from the PC. Not sure if that could have caused this or not, but I wasn't copying anything TO the SD Card. I was copying FROM the SD card.
Oh well.
That could easily cause problems like you're seeing. If you haven't formatted the card yet, try running chkdsk on it from Windows. chkdsk (drive letter) /f
Might have info on it for plug and play and thats why you cant delete it. Flash drives have files on them for that even if they are formatted. That may be it. I do not know for sure.
Before doing anything drastic, try something easy: reconnect it to your windows install and try safely removing. Sometimes it'll lock a file if it is unmounted uncleanly.
If that doesn't work, I'd head back to the terminal and try a few more things. Android will have problems with a file containing a slash because slashes indicate separate directories. It's probably getting confused. I'd try doing ls -la followed by the filename (cap sensitive!) in quotation marks. That should tell the shell to interpret the name as a single entity instead of trying to split it into a directory called D containing a file called cuments, which it might be doing. If it shows the file that way, run rm the same way. If it sees the file at that point but can't operate on it, su to root first and then maybe try using rm -rf.
Edit: Actually, after further consideration, there's going to be no way to remove the file from within Android. Any utility that you use to try to remove it will interpret it as a file within a directory instead of a single directory. There's no way to create such a file from within the system, so it shouldn't exist, period. There's no way to get to it from within your phone since forward slashes are hardcoded into the kernel as indicators for directories, so the usual tricks, like escaping the slash with a backslash or using quotation marks won't work. You're going to have to deal with the file from within Windows by mounting your sd card. That's the only way you'll ever get rid of it short of a reformat.

That fixed it! I ran the Error-checking tool from Local Disk Properties in Windows Explorer, had it automatically fix file system errors and scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. Once that happened, the "D/cuments" folder became "DOCUME~1" and I could see the files inside of it.
Thanks again for the simple, yet effective, tip!
Sooooo

Well, it was a Mission that was Impossible trying to delete it before I ran check disk on it.
Glad to hear that fixed it for ya. Anytime odd things like that start happening, chkdsk is always my first resort. It's not always the answer but it's one of the easiest things you can do and, well, I don't know about you but I've always been one to take the easy way out if I could.
Have you tried to solve this with specialized software?

Hello i am trying to connect to my schools network and it says to choose wpa2 enterprise under security and it is not there. Any ideas? seems iphones have this but galaxy s2 doesnt? Also I tried the regular WPA/WPA2 PSK it isn't the same as enterprise there is nowhere to put my account username and my school requires a certificate
Put the certificate on your phone and install it via Settings --> Location & Security --> Install from USB storage. Then you should be good to go when you connect.

When you say "placed it in the sdcard and tried again", did you put it on your sd card that you can actually take out of the phone? That is your external sd card.
As oinkylicious said above, USB storage is the /sdcard folder. The external sd card is /sdcard/external_sd.
How are you placing it in your sd card in the first place?

Hey, I'm glad you solved it. I'm just saying it's rude to throw insults around at people who were trying to help you. Especially a week after the fact. Whatever. Ok, I'll concede you meant to say where you put the file. Maybe I didn't understand you said where you put the file. Done.
I've seen numerous people asking numerous times in the same thread on how to use OASVN to update to the latest release. So I figured I would go ahead and make my first contribution to help everyone out.
1. Download OASVN 'AND' 7Zipper from the Play Store
2. Open OASVN
3. Click "Add Repository"
4. Under "Name" feel free to type whatever you want your repository to be called
5. Under "Repository URL" enter: http://evo-4g-lte-sense5-port.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
6. Under "Local Folder" you will see something like "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/"Leaving that input will make your internal storage the primary download location for the trunk/checkout/ROM files (whatever you would like to consider those files to be called). Keep in mind: The files can get pretty heavy (big in size...) and take up a lot of space. Feel free to change that location if you want.
7. Click "Save"
8. Click your repository
9. Click "Checkout" and let the app do what it does (downloads the files you need)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO BE ON WiFi OR A STABLE 4G CONNECTION!
You will see "Operation in progress, please wait..." and "Performing Checkout!!!"
This can take a very long time depending on your connection speed.
10. Notice that your "Revision" changed from "0" to what should be the latest release/revision from googlecode and is ready to zipped up.
11. Get to the menu on the top right and click "Export Local Copy"
12. Decide where you would like to export the copy that you'd like to zip up and flash.Do NOT use your "Local Folder" unless you would like a migraine. You can use that folder ONLY if you export the copy to a different folder in that location. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASCNlite/r98" or whatever folder name you desire.
I use my external Class 10, 32gb SD Card by using "/sdcard2/*desired-name*" and have it saved there.
Also, since my OCD gets the best of me at times, I create a new folder for each export and save it as the revision number. I'm pretty sure you can use the same export folder over and over but I've never done so. I like to be super neat and really messy (don't ask please... thanks).
NOTE: Using your internal SD Card may save you a bit of time.
13. A "success" message should prompt briefly after the export has completed and your files will be where you directed them.
14. Open up 7Zipper and tap the screen.
15. Click "System Folder" and head to the location of your exported copy. For example: "/storage/sdcard0/OASVNlite/r98/"
16. Press the green check-mark button near the top of 7ZipperAND select ONLY THESE FILES/FOLDERS!
1. data
2. kernel
3. META-INF
4. system
5. boot.imgTHEN click the button underneath the red "X" to the right of where the green check-mark was (it looks like an image of a pull-down menu which is what it actually does... pulls down a menu).
17. Click "Create Zip"
18. Enter whatever name you'd like to call your .zip file that you will be flashing/installing.
19. Select your "Compress Level" that says "Default" by default (imagine that...)NOTE: IT IS BEST TO USE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE COMPRESSION LEVEL! WHY!? I HAVE NO IDEA! THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS TOLD SO THAT IS WHAT I DO! Lol. Using your Internal SD Card may save you a bit of time but if you didn't export your local copy to your internal SD Card then your S.O.L. since it'll save the .zip in the same folder that you selected your exported copy files/folders.
LET 7ZIPPER DO WHAT IT DOES! I haven't had any problems letting it run in the background while doing other things but of course you will notice a slight decrease in performance.
20. Reboot into your Recovery and flash the .zip that you just created.
SUCCESS! Hopefully.
I've seen a script you can use that was made by one of the members of the Alliance Dev Team working on the s5port. I'm not 100% who everyone was that incorporated that so if you want credit please send me a PM and I'll edit this post with proper credentials. I believe it was il duce though.
MAKE SURE YOU'RE ON A GOOD CONNECTION! WiFi preferred.
3G will work but it will take forever. Forever isn't an exaggeration either.
LTE will work but you risk losing connection.
Open up Terminal app
Type su
Type s5port
let Terminal do its thing
NOTE: This process will take some time no matter what you do. Just let it do its thing. It downloads the files it needs and then zips them up for you to flash. This is a hassle-free method, if you will. I believe that's about it.
Good looking out
BTW first
Lol. You forgot the thank button! Grats on the 1st post?

I'm sure they appreciate your efforts
It does work and perfectly thanks man
wont work if you are S-on will it? Im in a boot loop.
Never mind flashed the 2nd time and it seems Im up and running. Thank.:good:
Just tried this over my home wifi, says I have rev109. When I went in to my system folder through 7Zipper I didn't see a data folder or the boot.img - is that normal?
EDIT: I went ahead and zipped up what I had just to see what would happen, and I definitely must have done something wrong because the finished zip is only 105mb.

Hey, this happened to me too. It is probably because your download failed or you ran out of space on your internal SD card. I went into Settings and then Storage and clicked on "Misc" under Internal storage and deleted the OASVN files, redownloaded, and it worked. Give that a shot!
I also followed all instructions and it was also missing the boot.img. I just downloaded the file directly and zipped it all up and all was fine.

Thanks for your help. I tried again from scratch and basically got the same thing - no data and no boot.img. I have enough room on internal storage and have lots on my SD card, so I know space isn't the issue.
Maybe this is my phone's way of telling me I should just wait till it's released as a flashable zip, haha.
i'm getting the same thing, only a 108ish mb zip.. tried a couple times..
If you're not getting all of the files that means your download wasn't 100% successful. Happens a lot. Just need to Update or do another checkout.

Run the cleanup option on OASVN and try it all over again. Just be sure to have it plugged in and connected with a good connection... It takes a while. I got it to work for me.

Download needs to complete. Make sure you're in a stable WiFi or LTE area. Do what the post above you says or you can do update, or you can delete working copy and checkout again.

i'm tracking.. i plug it in and leave it,. I get full folders on the inital sync (following all the instructions/advice here) and then export the local copy and wait til it stops on its own (it's plugged in and wifi'd) and i only get 3 folders.. weird, tried probably 6ish times so far.. i'll mess with it again this weekend. otherwise my phone may just not like it for some reason, i'll report back

Best to save a lot of time by making sure all of the files have downloaded before performing the export of the local copy. I haven't used OASVN in quite some time since I just got my replacement and haven't done any S-OFF yet so I can't test to see if there's just an issue with the program or anything... Worked fine every time I used it last month though.

EDIT: I just did my method for the OASVN update and everything worked perfect so I'm not sure what the problem is.
