I've recently rooted my G Tablet and installed CM 7 rc1 and I'm running into a weird issue. If I plug my G tab into a computer the computer will make the connection noise, say it's installing drivers and say all is good. Problem is that the G tab doesn't see that it's connected and I neither does my computer. Other issue is with the microSD. The G tablet doesn't see it. I know the card is good my testing it in other devices. Recovery doesn't see it either. All I can access is the internal memory. Also on an interesting note. If I use recovery to turn on mass storage the computer see it then and I can move files.
I promise I dug trying ti find this so if a thread already exists point me there and I'll be on my way. Other wise thanks for the help.

Plug your microSD in, then open a Terminal Emulator window and get me a dmesg output. Use the commands in this post.
Also include the output of the mount command. Again, in a Terminal window:
Code:
$ [B]mount | tee /mnt/sdcard/mount.txt[/B]
Only type in the commands in bold. The rest of the stuff is just there to show you how the screen will generally look.
Here's the second command return....
As you can see I tried the first one no return. Will try again see if I had a syntax error.
$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

There is no syntax error. You executed the commands correctly. The output was redirected to files in /mnt/sdcard. Post those 3 *.txt files here.

Actually, as the mount command output shows, both the internal SD card and the external one are recognized by the gTablet. The internal one is mounted at /mnt/sdcard and the external one at /mnt/emmc--which, BTW, is the exact opposite of the standard arrangement. Did you fiddle with the vold.fstab file to arrange it like it that or did you use the official method (Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Tablet tweaks > switch Internal sdcard?
BTW, did you try my recommendations?:

Yesterday, a customer brought me a phone that seems to be hanging on boot. The phone is a stock (non-rooted) US Cellular Galaxy S II SCH-R760. I'm not trying to fix the phone. He just wants his pics and contacts. There was no SD card in the phone and he claims there never has been.
This phone was a real pain to get into recovery. I'm pretty sure it suffers from the well known power button issues. ADB will let me connect in recovery mode. It never sees the phone when trying a normal boot.
I've found reference to internal storage being located at /storage/sdcard0. There is no storage folder off the root. I tried cd'ing to it anyway but it doesn't exist. There is nothing shown in /mnt or /dev. There are no files or folders in /sdcard.
I've read about using Kies. The program sees the phone and goes into "Connecting" while attempting a normal boot or in recovery mode but it never gets beyond that point. I'm using driver version 1.5.27.0.
I've tried using "adb pull / ./s2" in an attempt to copy the entire file system. The command just hangs and no files ever copy.
***EDIT - further attempts to pull the entire file system finally worked somewhat. After restarting recovery, I was able to get the command to run but it skipped most of the file system. It only copied over the mnt, sbin, sys, and system folders. The only jpg files in there are files you may see during a firmware upgrade.
Any other thoughts about how to get this guys data?
Here is the folder list:

persist

efs
cache

sdcard

There is a chance, that /storage/sdcard0 is not mounted automatically when you boot into recovery. You could try to adb shell into the device when in recovery mode and try to mount sdcard0 manually.
Another chance to get the pics: do an image backup of the sdcard0 partition and loop mount that image on your PC. On my blog you can also find a tool which is doing that. Unfortunately it's not finished yet (even if the functionality you would need is working ) and there are only a few devices supported out of the box. For other devices you would need to create a device specific config file.

I'll need some help on this one. I'm a Windows guy. I'm not afraid to try anything but Linux and Android are beyond me without help from Google and the awesome XDA community. I looked for your tool on your blog. I'm guessing you are referring to the Android Remote Toolkit. If that is the case, it has been over 10 years since I've compiled anything. That is beyond me.
From what I can gather, the internal storage is possibly located at /devices/platform/s3c-mshci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0. If that is correct, how exactly do I mount it? There is no /devices folder. The file system is read only (no root). I can't create a folder for the mount. I've tried using the empty /sdcard folder for a mount point. My best guess at the mount command was:
Code:
mount -r -t auto /devices/platform/s3c-mshci.0/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 /sdcard
This produced a result of
Code:
mount: Operation not permitted
Here is a little bit of data for you to help see what the current situation is. This is the output of the mount and fs commands:
Code:
$ mount

And here is the contents of vold.fstab. I'm guessing this will show where the internal storage is located but I'm not completely comfortable with reading it.

You need to be root to mount a file system, to to call "su" before calling the mount command.

That is what I was afraid of. This is the US Cellular version of this phone. I think I can halfway get it rooted but I don't think the phone would ever function again or be able to be returned to stock for warranty. The only good info I can find for getting it rooted and being able to either return to stock or turn it into a functioning phone is found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23276856&postcount=3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677463
The problem is that the USCCROOT-sfx.exe package is not available from the download link. Any downloads I've found by the same name do not include the files mentioned in the instructions.
I think it is time to hand this phone back to the guy and tell him he is out of luck. Keep your stuff backed up and synced.
Do you have a custom recovery installed on it? If yes, you will have root access on cmd line level.

I'm trying to put the SU binary in a different place than the /system folder. I can flash it to /data with the correct permissions, but when I run SU, it doesn't get root.
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ /data/su
/data/su
1|[email protected]:/ $ id
id
uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1009(mount),1011(adb),1015(sdcard_rw),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet),3006(net_bw_stats)
Is there a reason why it doesn't work in /data/? Is there another folder (not /system/) where it should work?
Code:
ls -la /data/su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 380532 2008-08-01 12:00 su
# From a working /system/su :
-rwsr-sr-x root root 380532 2008-08-01 12:00 su
Has to be in /system. It has elevated privileges that you can't get in the /data partition. Are you unable to put it in /system, as in trying to root a new device, or is there another reason you're against putting it there?
I continued searching myself (like I should) and I just found the answer (sorry, forgot to subscribe to the thread). /data is mounted with "nosuid" option, so privilege elevation isn't possible.

If I understand this correctly, there's no location (except for /system) that is mounted without the nosuid flag (or at least no location where I can put the SU binary). Is it possible to create a new partition that would also be automatically mounted at startup? Which files should I edit/where should I look for info?
I'm not trying to root a new device. It works perfectly fine in /system/. I want to have root access without it being obvious that it's available.
You can use the option of SuperSU to have no icon or use a launcher that can hide apps, like Nova. Then you would only be able to tell if you were looking under the All Tab in the Application Manager in Settings, or if you have a device like a Samsung where it might show your device status as Custom. If that's the case, I believe there's an Xposed mod to change that to official status.

No, I'm trying to hide it on a system wide level. I'm doing this for forensics/research purposes. Not for the user, but for apps. For XPosed, there's also RootCloack, but that's lacking in many ways. There are a lot of ways of still detecting root while RoatCloack is installed.
Does anybody know how I can add a partition? I've searched for documentation but so far I've only found information about how to resize partitions.

Messing with that would be a good way to brick the device. I don't believe there would be a way to create a new partition in that manner, and if you could, even less likely it would be able to run su from it. And different manufacturers do their partitions and sometimes even files systems differently. If you could, somehow, get it to work with one phone, it wouldn't be a universal solution.

Is there a reason why you think it would be impossible to su from it if it's mounted without the nosuid flag?
Maybe a different approach then: Where should I look if I want to mount /data (or any other partition) without the nosuid flag?
It also doesn't have to be a universal solution.
I just don't think it's possible to mount another partition with that flag.

Hello,
I am flashing roms since nearly two years and I got my first big problem 2 days ago.
My GT-i9100 (DBT Germany) was running stable under cm-12.1-20150611-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip brought by Lysergic Acid.
When I tried to log on WLAN on Tuesday morning, my rom crashed with a few percent of energy remaining. I charged my battery and started the phone again. I had a message "No Service" and a barred circle. Pin Code was being asked, as well as my lock screen Pin Code.
I thought it was a mobile network operator issue, and that it would be temporary. Didn't care about it, I was able to log in my WLAN network. Then I saw an update (06/17) on xda, that I downloaded and flashed following the installation instructions. I noticed still the "No service" message and the circle barred. I looked at my telephone settings an saw Unknown Baseband, No Signal, Unknown Imei. When I called *#6#, there was a popup with only the Text IMEI no number.
Finally I did sthg really stupid (I didn't google Unknown Baseband Unknown Imei at this time), because I thought wrongly that the issue is a rom, modem or csc issue. Then I decided to flash back to a stable jelly bean version.
Thus, I had to flash the partition with Stock i9100 pit, because I was using a preload modified area partition before.
Then I made my great mistake, that's what I think now, I think I corrupted my /efs folder. I installed a stock firmware from sammobile on my SII (still no service, unknown baseband), then rooted the phone again, and installed
ASNET MIUI v5 (4.8.10) everything is working except this my mobile network unknown baseband, unknown Imei, etc
I tried to look on my external harddrive, if I had any backups from my phone, did not have any /efs backup. :crying:
With root explorer I am able to to see the /efs folder no file is missing I think, but it is certainly corrupt. I am joining a .tar file of this folder here. https mega.nz/#!4IZijDTK!2eZ1lhC01bTEcbzwP7OVe8tePiIm5GNQ_dwpZRZHF0k

I still have the IMEi on the back of my phone.
Is there a way to fix this or is it impossible?
Hi. Everyone knows that FB app saves its downloaded images in DCIM folder. At the same time, Google Photo doesn't allow to select subfolders elegible to media auto-backup. So my idea is to create a symbolic link between that Facebook subfolder and another one on different location, and so properly save photos and videos on a different folder.
There's any way to do it? I found different procedures on different site but nothing seems to work (btw, i don't know is a procedure fault or an android 10 fault), naturally using Magisk root permissions.

When you download a photo from within the Facebook app, it is stored in DCIM/Facebook. When you launch the Gallery app, the image shows up right under "Photos". Also in the gallery app if you click on the "COLLECTIONS" tab, it shows up there under "Camera".
FYI: Creating a symlink basically doesn't require Android is got rooted, unless you want to create symlinks in Android's /system partition.
I think it's really easy to create symlinks on Android.
Example:
Code:
adb devices
adb shell "mkdir -p /data/DCIM-Facebook 2>/dev/null"
adb shell "cp -a /DCIM/Facebook /data/DCIM-Facebook"
adb shell "rm -rf /DCIM/Facebook"
adb shell "ln -sf /data/DCIM-Facebook /DCIM/Facebook"
adb shell "ls -l /DCIM/Facebook"

Thanks for the answer man. I tried your procedure and this is what happened https://ibb.co/py7mkfK
This is the classic error that i had with other procedures.

My fault was to NOT tell you that symlinks only are possible on partitions that support it, means their filesystem is either ext2 or ext3 or ext4 or yaffs2.
Internal sdcard /storage/emulated/0 where folder DCIM resides has filesystem /dev/fuse. Hence my script example was totally wrong.
Sorry for this.

NP man. So can I do nothing about?

IMHO an alternative is to create a so-called bind mount. A bind mount is an alternate view of a directory tree. Classically, mounting creates a view of a storage device as a directory tree. A bind mount instead takes an existing directory tree and replicates it under a different point. The directories and files in the bind mount are the same as the original. Any modification on one side is immediately reflected on the other side, since the two views show the same data.
Example pseudo code:
Code:
mount -o bind /some/where /else/where
In your case this should problemfree work because both /sdcard/DCIM/Facebook and /sdcard/Pictures have the same filesystem.
FYI: mount command by default is available in any Android version.
IMPORTANT: Such a bind mount isn't persistent: you have to get it created everytime when Android boots up. That in turn requires to have an init.d script what does the job.

Thanks mate for tips, but i think this is not i need for my scope. If I'll have the same file tree in both path, Facebook images must remain in the original folder and Google Photo will upload them. If i can preserve some file to be binded, I could try to insert a .nomedia file in DCIM/Facebook. So, DCIM/Facebook will be hidden to Google Photo and i can continue to see Facebook downloaded images in Pictures folder (on the contrary, also .nomedia will be copied and also Pictures/Facebook will be not visible on Google Photo).

Hello, i just bring this here up again because i have a similar problem.
I tryed your command and it passed without errors. But without the wished effect.
Code:
:/ # mount -o bind /storage/231A-1B1B/DCIM /storage/emulated/0/DCIM
This is the output of "mount"
