Need Help with phone

Today I bough an 8GB SDHC card, it works perfectly, but when I use the Kyrillos rom Swapper tool it stays on the bootscreen. I let it stay 15mins and is the same thing...
Sorry for my english.
[EDIT] - The PC can't detect the SD
try restarting the phone 2-3 times &if u still have the same result, remove the sd card from the phone and reflash the phone with the same rom u tried before(kyrillos) and follow either of the following (both needs root)
(to remove partition )
after reflashing the phone, root the phone and again open the app2sd application and instead of partition select format
(OR)
(to retain and complete partition)
download terminal emulator from the market and type the following code
su
mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (and wait ~30 secs or until #appears on the next line)
reboot

SD Card Problem with Kyrillos' ROM v3.3 Extreme Edition

Click to expand...
Click to collapse

please help i dunno what to do
Hi,
The second error you can ignore. I have it all the time when flashing.
What's the problem with your SD ? Can you view anything on it ?
What does mount tell you in adb shell ?
no i cant see anything on it,
dunno what you mean with Mount in ADB Shell, dont have a linux pc
help please, I'm getting pretty frustrated since i Cant get it to work
are u trying form pc using ADB or from mobile using Terminal Emulator??
if ur using ADB then type -"adb shell"--Without quotes
If ur using terminal emulator(inbuilt to rom) type-"su"
Make sure there is space b/n "mkfs.vfat" and "/dev/....."
wait till # comes to next line then type reboot
I tried this, about several thousand times but i always geht this error:
mkfs.vfat: can't open "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1": Permission denied
have u checked whether u have rooting permissions and did u flash the rom WITH SD CARD INSIDE THE PHONE????
is ur sd card working otherwise??
yes i flashed the Rom with the SD Card inside the ROM, i just removed the sim as i flashed the ROM
other Root Apps work fine, so i would say I have rooting permission.
the SD Card is working fine right now, but its not Partitioned right now, and i want to change that.
should i flash new and remove the SD Card first?
Try reflashing and if you are using mad team app2sd you don't ned to keep the sd card inside while flashing.. It doesn't make any difference though.. Reflashing should work for you.. Good luck
i reflashed, about 10 times now, but the Bug doest go away,
anybody a Idea?
Format ur card from settings>sd card> eject and format
and check if ur card is working

my SD Card is working fine, no problems, also formated it a couple of times now,
the bug still persists
extract the adb folder in the zip file to C drive on your machine
Enable USB debugging on your phone
Connect the phone through USB (Make sure that G3 drivers are installed)
Open command prompt , go to c:\adb by command "cd c:\adb"
type "adb shell"
You will see a $ with blinking cursor after it
type "su" (it should ask for superuser permission access on your phone)
Once granted you will see # and blinking cursor behind it
Then type your command
WoW! Thanks mate, you saved my day, It finally worked!!!!
Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

[Q] sd card unmounted or not present on new CM7 Gingerbread rom?

hi, im using racht floyo 0.15 and eveything works pretty well, but when i load up a GB Rom i cant access the sd card, its not recognised?!
any suggestions?
i dont know if i had to create a partition or something?
thanks - G
what is GB Rom? make sure you have one FAT32 partition on your SD
I was having problems with my sdcard card its ext and win32 keeps saying unsupported so to fix this temporary download terminal emulator. open the problem
now type
su
mount /sdcard
then open up settings, storage and then press mount the sdcard and should work
i think it shouldnt be partitioned. so only one FAT32 partition one the sdcard
GB as in Gingerbread (any rom that is 2.3 basically)
its only those 2.3 ROMs that my sd card isnt recognised
I opened up terminal emulator on my phone but cant type anything? no keyboard appears
hmmm thanks for the replies but still stuck

Updated 16-Apr-2011 :
Still hunting for rootapps reboot problem.
There's a thought that its caused by our second /init dying.
Indeed, this can be reproduced if u kill -HUP or just kill the secondary init process.
i.e.
# ps | grep init
1 0 348 S /init
1117 0 392 S /init
2854 0 840 S grep init
# kill -HUP 1117
causes phone to say "SD-card safe to remove" and than reboot.
Unfortunately we can't replace original init on process 1, the only way to do it is to boot custom kernel..
And out init (1117 in my example) is not system-protected, and can be killed.
Now, can someone tell me why running root apps causes second init to die ?
So thats the clue for solution, custom kernel = end of problems.

How do you make the apps take up less space on phone memory?

When i was using jokerdroid the memory being taken up by the apps on the phone was miniscule. How come when I changed to wildpuzzle the same number of apps now take up 50 more meg ?
You probably had Apps2SD installed on Jokerdroid, and you will have to install it and follow the commands to activate it again each time you flash a new ROM.
Wildpuzzle already has a2sd feature but you need activate it. Download terminal emulator from market and start it. Type su and enter. Tap yes when it asks permission for superuser previligies. Restart terminal and type su and enter again. Then type "a2sd cachesd" (without quotes) and enter. Your phone will restart, take a while to boot and when it boots, your apps will be transferred to ext partition of your sdcard. The apps you install from now on will be installed on sdcard aswell.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the cachesd command only moves the dalvik cache to SD not apps. The command to move apps is "a2sd reinstall"
Moving the cache to SD card does free up alot of space on internal memory as well though.

Excuse me for a noob question. How do you check how much space the apps are taking in internal memory or the sdcard?

Pull it out stick it in your PC and let it fix it. I had this happen to me all the time. I got a new SD card, but its starting to do it again. Not sure if its my old phone or software.

If you are rooted or use custom TWRP recovery you can fix it without take it out from your phone.
First if you are rooted but don't have TWRP:
Unmount your microSD
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNMOUNT YOUR MICROSD BEFORE YOU CONTINUE OR YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA FOREVER
Install Terminal Emulator
Open Terminal Emulator
Type : su then press ENTER
It should trigger Super SU permission if you haven't allow it.
for ExtFAT formatted microSD type: fsck.extfat -fp /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 then press ENTER
Wait until it finish.
Mount your microSD
If you have TWRP:
Enter TWRP Recovery
Go to mount section
Unmount MicroSD
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO UNMOUNT YOUR MICROSD BEFORE YOU CONTINUE OR YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA FOREVER
Mount system partition
Go to Terminal
Type: cd /system/bin then press ENTER
for ExtFAT formatted microSD type: fsck.extfat -fp /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 then press ENTER
Wait until it finish.
Reboot
Important notes:
the command line may differ a little bit for each ROM/kernel/busybox but the main point is you can fix corrupted microSD from within you phone without formatting it.
