I am now on Baked Blackbean with the latest TWRP 2.2.2.0 installed. Before this I had Androwook installed. As is posted in the dev section i am not able to acces my sd card. So i cannot acces and instal the Wook zip. Suggested solution is to format the internal sd to ext4.
Can anyone give me directions how to get safe back to Androwook?
Thanx in advance

it is highly doubtful that you are in the same situation as described by eyeballer in the 2.2.2.0 thread. two questions, in twrp did you click the external sd card option to see the contents of that disk? second question, why do you want to go back to wook?

And then?
The problem is not the ROM, it's a non working recovery....
Assuming that what you call sdcard is the internal one, part of /data partition;
First install Terminal Emulator and run it and type 'mount' command. Search for the line where /data is written and if it's formated in ext 3 you won' t have the choice and will have to follow Eyeballer intructions to format your /data partition (post #399, you must have a working adb connection).
If /data is already in ext4 formatthen it's another problem, see with Eyeballer in thread.

I can see the external sd and it's contents.
Bit scared to install Rom (from external sd) since twrp is not functioning well.
Bean is very laggy on my device. I also get random reboots (was also the reason why I left Androwook).

Yep, installed terminal emulator and /data was already formatted in ext4. So I guess it's another problem.
Should I then install the previous version of twrp?

Don't format the internal you will loose the rom... did you go into the mount settings in twrp? That is where you can access internal or external.... or go into advanced and use the file manager.. you should see both there...

Not that I dont think you should fix your twrp but, if you can't install a zip from your internal SD using twrp, why not put a copy of the zip on your external SD card and install it from there?

I can see the internal sd but when I choose it it has no contents. Ext SD is doing fine.
Three other things: When twrp starts it asks for a password I didn't set. In twrp once I choose ext sd I can choose internal sd but the blue selector button will switch back automatically to ext sd.
I cannot select mount the data folder under the settings.

yes, that was the first thing that crossed my mind too. But can twrp install a rom without access to my sd? If I format the sd I lose my rom (see above post)

I installed the twrp version prior to 2.2.2.0 through adb and now it`s ok.
Running AndroWook 2.6. Great rom.
For the records: the laggyness and reboots of Blackbean was caused by a beta-version of apex launcher.
After I removed that and went back to apex 1.2.5, Blackbean was performing great. No issues for me.
Of course I`ve made a backup of Blackbean. I will evaluate both roms and make a decision what`s best for my personal use.
I think as tf201 users we are lucky to have independent developers who are trying to get the most out of our tablet.
Thanks and cheers to them all.
And of course a big round of applause for all xda members that supporting novice users like me.
Hi guys
I have a 32gb 10th class SD card on my SIII and a big problem with it. Gallery doesnt show my pictures (only 1 folder of 5) and music (I can play it but it crashes few times on song).
I can see everything whats in it on pc and any mobile explorers, but not on gallery.
Looks like it only shows me about 500mb of what is in SD Card.
I use Omega v18, but any other ROM's acts the same, even stock.
I used to have 4gb card before and it was ok.
Formated it multiple times in all possible systems: NTFS; FAT32; exFAT
Is there anything else i can do?
Update:
Put that SD Card on other Samsung Phone (Not rooted) and it was ok. Showed everything.
Does it mean that i have to get my phone to warranty?

Copy everything you want to keep and reformat the sdcard in FAT32, that`s all you can do imo.

Unroot it first, go to the CF-Root thread and download Triangle Away, install it on your phone and reset the counter within the app. Than flash a stock rom from www.sammobile.com/firmware and download the rom of your country/region. Flash it with Odin v3 3.0.4 and after it is installed and rebooted perform a data/factory reset in backup and restore. See items 2 and 3 on from where and how to flash stock firmware. Good luck mate

Uupp, I know how to unroot phone, but there is no stock on the internet for my carrier or location :/ i guess i should of checked before rooting it.
Had the same issues myself.
Found out that the phone doesn't work with a Class 6 SD card, but works perfectly with a class 4.
So worth checking your SD card.

when you flash an wp7 rom with one sdcard, that sdcard works only with the flashed rom!
if you wanna make it work flash again the rom and keep the sdcard inside phone

switch off phone remove for a few seconds the battery and press power button to release all the charge from phone then, put batterry back and try to press camera + vol up + vol down + power; keep them pressed or try cold boot .... save, or both, if none of these does not helping you it means that the card is broken
P.s.
I still insist to do again to reflash it, 'cause i had the same problem, was telling me that the sd card is corrupted and after i reflashed my prob. was solved ( if this helps you and i hope it will i used QPST to flash ) Cheers!

Hi There...
I flashed to 7.8 today but I don't have a USB option under settings, and with no available free memory I cant install anything else. What can I do??
My phone says that I have 19.09gb available. It has 9.97gb being used up by other. Can someone tell me what this "Other" is referring too? I just recently flashed the deodex stock 4.2.2 rom and the only other thing on my phone is some photos and videos that take up 2.41gb.
is the files you put on your phone that are not in folders like rom.zips mods
No he didn't pull his files off his sd card before he flashed

As i said, pull all your files off the sd card and wipe it, put the rom on your sd card using adb while in recovery, wipe data, flash, and then put everything back on.

I am using TWRP, what is the reasoning that it didnt wipe everything when I wipe it after the install? Also what all do I need to wipe, there isnt an sdcard option using TWRP, only thing is see is " dalvik cache, cache, data, system, usb-otg". Also is there anyplace on the phone memory that is safe from being wiped?
It has to do with the partitions of the sd card being changed in 4.2.2 allowing for multi user support. Do as I suggested, pull all files off and then in that menu if you click data I believe that will wipe your sd since everything is stored in that folder. A regular factory reset just skips over the virtual sd card.

If that's all you want to keep then yes. And no you need to re flash in order for the sd card to be set up correctly.

They are symlinks, don't remove them it will break things. Besides they are recreated on boot.
Wiping your phone and SD partition and starting from scratch doesn't solve the issue of almost 10gigs taken up and not knowing what it is. The stock rom itself surly isn't 10 gigs, we all know that for a fact. I just did a complete wipe of everything on my phone, and I'm still short 10 gigs. I paid for a 32 gig phone under the impression that I was getting 32 gigs of SD space for my personal use. Not 10 of it being used in some "other" category. HTC really dropped the ball on this. Just when you buy a phone with removable SD, advertised as 32 gigs, you GET that 32....well minus a gig or 2 for drivers for the card, but system files are stored on their own partition on the phone itself while you have full use of the SD card. When i go through file explorer, I see 2-3 different paths to get to the same point on my SD car which makes no dang sense to me. And I've been tempted to delete them but I'm afraid to do so. I've tried moving them and they end up coming back..obviously, after a reboot. There should be one path from the root of the system files to get to SD, not 3. On my phone, I've got SD, MMT, and storage, and all of them lead to the same end point, some with a few more stops along the way than others. HTC really dropped the ball when it comes to the user ability over storage management, and what they advertised vs what they provide in terms of storage capacity in this device. Would I return it? hell no. i love this phone despite this flaw. Would i go for it again knowing what I know now... honestly I'm unsure. I'd probably save up a little more and go for the 64 gig..be a little miffed over losing 10 gigs, but at least I'd know I still have plenty of space left as opposed to now. I take lots of pics of my family and i love music, so this is my MP3 Player as well. Not to mention any backups I do of the system and what not
Side note, I in fact asked this question when i first bought the phone when it made it's US debut, and got all sorts of off the wall answers.
