Debian / SDCard

Is there any way to access files on the SDcard from within Debian, or transfer files between them?

Anyone know?

Oh also, if you start Debian, and then press back and the terminal resets, how do you get back into Debian? I mean, since Debian is still running (somewhere).

I'm guessing not too many Debian users on XDA, eh?

Debian or your desktop environment rather should recognize both partitions automatically. If it doesn't happen, find the device (sdb2 or something like that) and mount it yourself.
If the xserver crashed, log in at the console and run startx. Press Ctrl+Atl+F7 if it has not actually crashed.

Which folder is the sdcard in?
(It's not in mnt, that folder is empty.)

Alternatively, how do I mount it?
I did a "find ./" and came up with nothing:
Any more info if possible?

HELP on Apps2Sd

I have tried everyyyy rom and everything to try to run apps2sd on my N1 but cant seem to run it. currently im trying to run apps2sd on
"CyanogenMOD Optimized3 w/gapps/themed/a2sd/more goodies!"
here are the instruction s for apps2sd on that rom:
MOST PROPER WAY TO GET A2SD SETUP AND ALL FEATURES WORKING:
use 512mb ext4 partition
wipe data
wipe dalvik-cache
wipe ext
wipe battery settings (just for good measure)
wipe rotate settings (also for good measure)
flash ROM
boot phone and log in to google (not required just recommended)
go to terminal and type:
$su (press enter)
#kingmadethis.sh (press enter)
#reboot (press enter)
I have followed every step and made ext4 partition which u can see in the screenshot below.

No matter what i do i always get this screen in the storage and location showing that i only av 190+ mb in internal storage (PIC 2).
PLZ XDA HELP!

That's normal.
Basically load up an internal memory program (internal SD widget is good).
Load up your apps and you should see your internal memory stay the same.
Most ROMs these days do not add the EXT3/4 to the internal memory reading anymore.

[TOOL] Cache Ripper (Unpack cache.img in seconds using one tool!)

I'm proudly present my latest tool which can easly and fast handle the cache.img files in every Samsung ROM!!
[size=+2]Cache Ripper[/size]

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Code:
[center]
USAGE: CacheRipper.exe <cache.img> <output.zip>
[/center]
​What id does?
- It takes a cache.img file and unpacks the cache inside it to widely readable and reusable zip file
What for?
- Current methods requires you to convert cache.img to ext4 format and then use some weird tools to mount it as filesystem and then you can see/unpack the contents, using Cache Ripper you simply provide two arguments to it which is cache file and output zip file and voila! after a blink of an eye you got cache file and you can read/modify it and FLASH WITH CWM!!!
as it contains all things needed to flash (including scripts).

[Q] - I9502 can't download nor save file to memory

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my Galaxy S4 Duos I9502, somehow I can't save any file/picture from internet to Download folder, only original app like Browser is able to save file !!!
Ex : Whenever I try to save an image in Firefox/Chrome, it shows an error as below :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I have tried so far :
- Root the phone and use Root Explorer to check the permission of "Download" Folder, it is --rw--rw--r-, tried to change the "other" to RW but failed.
- Wipe cache/davik code - not solve
- Factory reset/ Wipe data - not solve
- Clean everything and re-flash the stock rom still not succeed ((
Really appreciated If you have any idea on how to solve this problem.

I managed to solve the issue by using Terminal Emulator and put in below commands :
su ->enter
restorecon -R -v /data/media/0

Gparted Live on Windows Through VirtualBox?

I'm trying to dual boot CFW and Android and I'm looking to use Gparted Live to partition my sd card. My issue is when I boot into GpartedLive on VirtualBox, I dont see my sd card. I installed the usb extension but it doesnt show. Anyone have a solution here? Thanks.

You need to add the usb device in the settings

There are more full-featured partition tools on Windows than Linux. I've been using DiskGenius for long. There are other tools like Aomei etc, also worth trying.

can confirm gparted live on vmware windows works just fine.
someone also has made a script to make the partitioning bull**** easy to do. sorry for the language, it was really a pain to do. Sorry i forgot the link for the script

Oh, I forgot you want to make an sdcard with bootable Android. In that case, forget about GUI tools like gparted. You should use fdisk and gdisk instead. Booting Android requires a special hybrid MBR partition scheme, which is not not suitable for normal user. You can take this script as an reference, it could run from a ubuntu livecd.
