Hi, i searched and couldnt find anything... I just installed ubuntu and have been dual-booting with windows Vista for several weeks now. My question is im a windows (redheaded step)child and im not too familiar with linux' inner workings yet...so i have not been doing anything to "safely remove" my G1 when in ubuntu, cuz i thought that such an option doesnt exist...problem is now i think ive corrupted all my data on my SDcard and i was just hoping that someone could tell me how to do this correctly in ubuntu? Do i hafta mount it, and THEN unmount it before i should unplug it? I dont even know if this is the problem, but ive been watching my logcat and it gives me some Dbus error when i plug in USB and it doesnt come up on the phone with option to mount SDcard, and windows doesnt recognize my device anymore. Pretty sure i corrupted my SD, im pretty sure i can fix it without help, if someone could just tell me the proper procedure for removing devices from ubuntu? thanks in advance...

I dual boot ubuntu on my mac OSX, which emulator are you using (fusion VM, virtualbox etc...?)
(1) When you've properly mounted your SD card it should show up on your ubuntu Desktop. Just go to Places > Desktop and you should be able to eject the SD card (two if you are partitioning them and AppstoSD) by pressing the "eject" button. The SD card should show up in the left window pane.
(2) Also, you probably have corrupted your SD card and are going to have to reformat it, losing all of your data.
(3) Somewhere in your emulator there should be a USB button to see which devices are plugged into your host computer, and which ever one you select your emulator will read.
(4) Finally, you don't provide enough information for a real answer...
(a) What ubuntu are you running?
(b) Do you have appstosd?
(c) have you done a nandroid backup?
(d) Which emulator/virtual environment are you running?
Hope this helps.
In Nautilus (the file manager) there will be a little orange eject symbol next to the drive. Clicking it will unmount the drive, which you should ALWAYS do before pulling any kind of removable media out of the socket. Unmounting is the *nix equivalent of "ejecting" in Windows.
If you're running a command line setup, the command to unmount is
Code:
sudo umount /media/(insert mount name here)
Hope that helps!
I too dual boot and noticed they i wouldn't get the "usb connected" on the G1. After some tweaking a few options; i noticed I would get the USB connected IF my usb debugging was ON. [settings- applications- developement- usb debugging]. I have to check for Ubuntu and uncheck for windows. I hope that helps
you see the problem is that ive never actually mounted my G1 in ubuntu, i just plugged it in to charge...so i never had to unmount it and theres no "safely remove" function, that i could find, so i figured that linux was just secure enough that it didnt require safely removing devices....oops...in answer to your questions, first im not running any VM...im ACTUALLY dual-booting. i have windows vista and ubuntu Jaunty running side-by-side, on a compaq presario f700. I DO have USB debugging ENABLED, and right now im running JF1.42rc33 still, im prolly gonna be wiping and upgrading to SOMETHING today, i was kinda just holding off cuz i like my theme, but my phones f-in up so nows as good a time as any to start fresh. I dont use a2sd, just my caches for market, browser, and maps are on sd. Ive been having trouble on my g/f's hp Pavilion pc running windows vista...we both have g1's and HERS is stock, unrooted, and she just got the OTA a couple days ago, since then the computer has been hating on MY phone, it says the drivers screwed and it wount bring up the option on my phone to mount the sdcard. hers still works fine, and mine still works fine hooked up to my laptop, just not hers...so i dunno if THATS a cupcake issue or if its cuz i didnt remove it from ubuntu right...im gonna format my sd AND wipe my phone, and ill get back to you guys moentarily, thanks for all your replies.
-BMFC
If all you were doing is charging, and you didn't mount it, then your original assumption was correct. You don't need to unmount something that was never mounted.

ok well then somebody help me out with this: i have tried for two days to get my sdcard to format, and IT JUST WONT. I cant get it to even be recognized by my girlfriends computer, but her G1 running UNrooted TMOCupcake still works fine, kinda makes me wonder if hers didnt get some kinda updated driver packed with it? The cupcake, i mean, not the phone...i dunno. Anyways my phone WONT mount in ubuntu at all, it shows up but when i try to mount it it says "No media on Volume" and wont open it at all. so in windows it ACTS like its doin everything i want it to do...i tried to format my sd yesterday and i sat here and watched it the whole time, and when it finshed it said: "Format Completed SUCCESSFULLY." so i SAFELY REMOVED IT, unplugged and plugged back the usb, and when it came up EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE!!!! my problem seems to be my sdcard/doom folder...it tells me that the folder \doom is ENTIRELY UNREADABLE.
ahem...on a side note, all these things happened at once...(same day)
1. My g/f got the OTA cupcake update...
2. I updated some apps from the market, the one that im suspecting right now is called "Cards(-)" by Coderminus. After i updated it, i went to play Doom, and instead of playing like usual, when i hit the "Play" button, it just exitted to home. So i checked my logcat and the Cards(-) app caused ALL KINDS of runtime errors, and so i uninstalled this app.
3. My market starts crashing all of a sudden. I cleared the cache and it SEEMED to fix it...for now.
4. Uninstalled Doom (ver. 1.29.666) and then went and deleted my doom folder.(I thought) Reinstalled newest version of Doom (ver. 1.31.666)
5. Tried to redownload the WADs to play, and i could get it to play, as long as i didnt try to download the sound files. Everytime i tried to get the sounds, it would act fine, but then when id go to play the game itd just exit to home again....
6. Repeated step 5. like 6 times....
This was all like 2 days ago? 3 days ago? and ive been messing with it ever since, and my PHONE is fine, but my SDCARD appears to be, for lack of a better term, ****ED. i cant even format it, ive tride 3 times, it just all comes right back when i plug it back in...i even tried to put an update.zip in my sdcard and update from JF1.42RC33 to (I was gonna try Dude's 1.2b) so i put that in there, and removed it and when i went into my file manager on the g1, the update wasnt there! i cannot seem to be able to make ANY changes to my sd...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Try ti format your card from within your phone. Unfortunately that's the only issue I can help you with.
Edit: try doing a system wipe on your girlfriends phone from the recovery menu. It should solve the crashes. You will wave to reinstall all your apps tho.

I...didnt even know that was possible...im not seein any options to do that...you know some terminal commands for that or somethin? Cus when i got into my file manager (i use aFile, cuz it has wireless transfer) i cant even delete anything from there, ANY folder i try to delete it just says "Failed to delete (folder name)"...so if you know how to do that then hook me up and ill try it...
-BMFC
EDIT: i think you misunderstood, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with my girlfriends phone...its just that she got the US OTA and it happened at the same time as all this other, so i thought maybe it might have had some effect on how mine interfaces with her comp...honestly i doubt it, but until someone tells me im wrong im not ruling it out...
On your phone Goto your settings menu, sdcard and phone memory, unmount your card and then select format
No dice, seems you may be on a diff. ROM than me, i dont have that option, i unmount the card, and thats all that happens, it unmounts it...no format option...
-BMFC
Damn that sucks. Does your girls phone have that option? I wish I could help you out. But I'm at a loss
Sdcard IMPOSSIBLE TO FORMAT....need ADVANCED help!!!
hi i posted a thread here for help, and i did so cuz i need help from someone INTELLIGENT. The mods have now moved my post to the "General section" of the dream forum, where i cant get **** for help. The reason i didnt just post in that section, where it goes, is CUZ NO ONE CAN OR WILL HELP ME OVER THERE....i need a devs help or somethin...THATS why i posted in the dev section...cus its pointless to try to get support from end users...i might as well just sit in the bedroom with NO COMPUTER asking MYSELF what the answer is...so first off id like to thank the AWESOME mods here for burying my post head-high in a section that i cant get any support in, EVER. THEN, id like to ask some dev(s) or SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY INTELLIGENT, please go to
this thread
and read, and im BEGGING you for help!!! To whoever helps me figure this out i would gladly donate to WHATEVER cause you have!!!! Honestly, if you ONLY read MY posts, you wont miss anything important, except some guy with the SAME SKILL LEVEL AS ME telling me to wipe SOMEBODY ELSES PHONE and see if that works...****.
SOMEONE PLEASE try to help me out before the AWESOME mods here at xda move this post, too. Im not sorry im posting in the wrong secrtion cuz this is where the help is and thats REALLY what i need right now. So MODS, you can move my posts all day long, ill just make a new one linking to the old one till i get some support...suspend me...BAN me, i dont care, ill just keep coming back with new usernames and accounts until i get some help, cuz THATS WHAT THE F*CK SUPPORT FORUMS ARE FOR. Im really pissed at whatever mod moved my post, cuz the SECOND i posted that thread initially, i got like 4 or 5 replies, thats why i LOVE this forum, cuz it has GREAT SUPPORT, when you can actually get your question seen by a dev, that is. but as soon as my post got moved i got several replies from one DUMBASS that was TRYING to help, and ill give him that he was just tryin to help, but i have a problem with my phone, and this guy tells me i should WIPE MY GIRLFRIENDS PHONE. WOW. Just wow. Someone please go read my problem and post there, or post here, with some answers....MODS PLEASE DONT MOVE THIS THREAD I AM TRYING TO GET SOME HELP!!!!
-BMFC
yea *****ing like a 4 year old will you nowhere. no one owes you anything.
If you have a camera, try using that to format your memory card. Hope it works.
lol ok first off take it easy on the mods here, i'm speaking of your other post, they try to keep these forums clean and it isnt an easy job all things considered.
the way i see it you have 2 options.
1. Throw your card in a digital camera and use the camera to format it. I works most the time when a computer wont, several times my pc wouldn't recognize/format a card but my ****ty digital camera had no problem.
2. if that doesn't work, splurge the $8.99(or less) it costs to get a new sd.
I've even seen 8gig class 6 cards for around $20 and 4gig class 4 cards for $10.
edit: wow just a min too late
Hi all...
I've been getting a lot of suspicious errors recently (force closes and app shortcut names disappearing) and I'd like to go from apps2sd back to just a normal setup with my apps on the internal phone storage.
Can somebody please verify that the instructions here are up to date? I'm a little nervous about wiping my data (or bricking my phone).
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Apps2SD
Also, can somebody tell me whether doing this will wipe out the (single) app I paid for from the Marketplace? If so, can I redownload it, or will I need to pay for it a second time?
I originally got apps2sd set up by using the recovery ROM prior to flashing Modaco's custom ROM v1.1.
The easiest thing to do would be to load the new RA 1.5.1 recovery image.
Then boot into it.
Go to Partiton SD
Select FAT EXT3 SWAP
and then set the partition sizes of EXT3 and SWAP to 0
Is there a reason you want to do this???
This runs a very very minimal chances of bricking your phone. The other method on that Wiki page has more potential to get you in trouble.
Did see the market place question.
There is a method laying around somewhere to copy all of your apps back to the phone instead of loosing them. Restoring a Nandroid backup would likly put them all back into the /apps/ directory sd card or not. apps2sd just changes the location of that directory really.
But the market does keep track of your google account and what apps you purchase, you wont have to re purchase (maybe on a totaly new handset).
hope my jiberish has made sense
jashdlfjasdhfjablgjkasgjlkasfhlajshf
At first I was interested in the whole apps2sd process, but have yet to implement it on my rooted, Fresh 1.0 Hero since so far, I haven't really seen a need for it.
But if you were to 'turn on' apps2sd and then decide later that you don't want it, there's a possibility of bricking?? Although I assume you can always reflash the RUU if something like that were to happen? Hopefully?
Think I'll stay away from the whole offloading applications thing for awhile.

The possibilities of bricking the phone are very slim, but they still exist. If a phone is truly a brick, not even RUU can help. RUU has to be able to detect the phone is there in Windows, so if its beyond that RUU is useless.
Nothing to worry about as long as follow the *usually* very well written step by steps across the interweb.
If it makes you feel any better I have only heard of one or two people to brick the Hero. Most things are recoverable.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't expect it would brick the phone so much as badly mess it up - like if it expects to run apps from the SD card and they aren't there I could see the phone being tough to use as a phone, but it wouldn't really be "bricked" in the sense of not responding to user input at all.
As far as why I want to do this, I haven't really seen a huge need for apps2sd yet, and when I was recently helping an app developer to debug their app it was just one more weird variable that seemed like a possible source of problems. I'm also hoping to start developing apps myself soon, so having a more vanilla phone seems like a good idea. (I also was influenced by the Fresh ROM apps2sd rant, to be honest.)
Anyhow, thanks for your replies. I'll probably repartition the card from RUU and then restore from Nandroid at that point. Will a repartition wipe the card filesystems out, or is the partitioner smart enough to preserve the existing data?
What I did is RUUed back to 1.2, OTA updated to 1.6
Flashed to the 1.5.1 image
(At this point I went to mess with the partitions and there was no ext)
Flashed to Fresh 1.0
I'm a little new to the acer iconia a500 and just rooted it using the 3.2.1 rooting method on xda. Well the first thing i did was make a backup on mybackup to /mnt/sdcard. And i forgot that was still a system partition.... So when I followede the rooting pdf and rooted it, everything, and i mean EVERYTHING was gone, as if it was factory reset. My question is if i can get any data back?
lol. nope.

Double Nope. It's been formatted.
I find if its that important to you to transfer to PC.... The chances of having the info I need on the wrong partition and my main PC dying are pretty thin, I think....

this happened to me when i used the downgrade to get the 4.0.3 leak off my tablet. i made a big stink about there being ZERO warning that its a format and not a re-flash like the 3.0 downgrade method, judging by your experience you can see how little the guy who came up with that method cares about what he does to someone else's tablet without warning.
First rule of flashing, backup to a known SAFE location. Don't go blaming other people for your own stupidity.
Thats what i thought....
Would have been nice to have put that in bold red letters on the post.... roots at least still worth it.
Formatting storage will always wipe stored data. It's been that way since, like, forever.
I intentionally formatted my Iconia using the rotation lock toggle, then just for kicks, I tried out a few data recovery programs on it. I was able to recover almost everything from the tablet that I wanted using Recuva, even apks from my download folders.
Here's a link, http://www.piriform.com/recuva.
While this won't help to restore your tablet, you can at least salvage your pics and stuff.
Hope that helps.

How do you map the iconia as a drive letter? Recuva seems to need it mapped as a letter to work.
not sure if its what your looking for. as i do not know that recovery program
but to map a network drive .. From a windows computer go to Network then at the top click tools then map network drive. Follow the instructions. You may need to go into my computer . providing you have full path shown in folder options. You can highlight the iconia partitions . then copy the location an the bar at top of page. Past it into the correct location back in the map network drive tool.
hope this is not to complicated or steps missing . typed in a hurry and from memory . its easy to do something then miss a step explaining it.
by the way NEVER EVER EVER FLASH NOTHING Without DATA BACKED up someplace off the device. i backup to ftp site and to my notebook as well as on my sd card.
If this is helpful smile .
Sadly that's the first thing I tried. It didn't work....
Either way having plasma active port on my iconia is worth it.

Yeah, we got nixxed on using a remote Sat Taser to give warnings when you're about to mess with installing Roms and such.
There's no substitute for redundancy
yep external backups if you need to keep all the info , thumb drives , I dont personally care myself if I lose it all on the acer , I can always find a way back to where I was , just will take longer, i back up in Ra before switching roms ,but thats about it!
how to install a custom rom on acer a500!!
Hey I rooted my acer a500 two days ago useing xda v4 root (for acer iconia a500) it was very user friendly
now I want to install a custom romm so I can overclock or underclock it how do I do that need help!!! Thank u
i was trying to get my backups off my nexus 4, and i used the root browser, navigated to Data/media/ and found the backup folder where they were kept, i highlighted, copied, and transfered it to where the "SD" is , but in trying to remove it/send it back to its original place, i cant do it, it'll fail , or if i highlight the folder (i somehow made duplicates) and try to delete it, it says it has, but its still there ,and if i go into the folder it'll all still be there, and from my 8GB N4 which has about 5GB usable, i know have about 600kb , if i manually delete each part i kinda get the space abck (now im at 1.9GB) but i should have atleast 2.5GB or so ,as thats how much i had after i made the back up in the first place.
Now my actual question was going to be, if i go into CWM and go mounts and storage, which ones do i have to format to get EVERYTHING back to normal, i dont give a **** about losing all my stuff because i have it all on my computer and in the cloud, so yeah, who can help, i am screwed otherwise

Hi lovely people,
Ive managed to mess up my glowlight - Ive managed to have a look at the partition table using noogie and the rom partition is showing as unallocated. I've tried data recovery to no avail. I dont suppose anyone has a complete image of a uk nook simple touch glowlight by any chance, or even just a copy of the rom partition that I can copy back into place using minitool partition wizard?
Thanks for reading folks

Will do. Just having trouble now creating a fat32 partition.

If it was logical, I'd totally give you a full image, but the problem is that each device has its own serial number - if I give you an image of my device, then your device will have mine's serial number, which won't work out so well!
I'd love to keep trying to help you, though - Nook Touch related things are really my forte.
Let's start at the beginning - in your first post, you said that "you managed to mess up your GlowLight". What did you do to mess it up?
Is/was your Nook rooted?
Will your device boot and be used properly, but the GlowLight itself just doesn't work?

Hi again, sorry for not getting back sooner - that damned thing called life always gets in the way
Yeah, it was rooted. I had used cwm and had adw running as a front end and had installed the screen lock bypass, but the bypass didnt work out so well - quite a bit of battery drain - even when left on a table(so no accidental waking up) - i tried to return it to stock - cant remember what i did tho - and now it just starts with the read forever screen and gets no further - it also seems that it doesnt power off and stays on till the battery is flattened. Trying to boot from the sd card using either nook manager or noogie works just fine tho.
I can see the partitions though minitool partition wizard and the Rom partition is "unallocated" there is also an unallocated space of 56mb at the end of the partitions.
I have tried recreating a fat32 rom partition and then copying the rom backup info from the factory partition, but no joy. For some reason, no partition software I have could create a fat32 partition directly on the nook, so I had to create one on the pc and then copy it over :-/
Thanks for the continued help btw

Are you interested in getting back the B&N functions? Because if not, then what I can do is back up my rooted GlowLight, factory wipe it back to 1.1.5, bypass Oobe (B&N registration), update to 1.2.1, and then make an image of that for you.
Beware, though, you won't be able to use any of the B&N functions if you want me to do that, because your device will have mine's serial number. But don't worry, it won't share anything except for that, so your device will be plenty usable.

Yeah, i tried factory reset with nookmanager, but when I pressed the button to choose factory reset, it came up with the screen that showed the start of progress, but nothing else happened - even after several hours.
by b&n function i assume you mean the shop etc - cant say I'm worried about that bit, but if It will be back to stock, with just the stock software on, that would be cool. )
How would I transfer the complete image? I presume fire up noogie and partition wizard, wipe(err backup) all the partitions on my nook and then copy your partitions over?

It will be back to stock, but you won't be able to register with B&N and/or buy any books from them. The Social features also will not work.
If you're interested, I'll make that image for you. See the "back up you Nook" link in my signature for a guide on making and restoring Noogie images.

EDIT - See OverByter's post below, it has shown me that this wouldn't work out.
Try his method. I'll only give you an image of my device as a last resort.
Your image will also have your mac address besides the serial number, don't think that this is the way to go, basically he'll have an unworkable clone of your device. Why doesn't he use cwm to wipe the partition and then either adb push the rom or use a flashable image?

Okay, I may actually have solved your problem! Try the following steps - it's called the "eight interrupted boot" method.
1. I am expecting your Nook is still stuck at the "Read Forever" screen. If it's not, go ahead and turn your Nook all the way off.
2. Now, press the power button to take it to the "Read Forever" screen.
3. After it's there, press and hold the power button again to make the screen flash black and go back to the "Read Forever" screen.
4. Perform step 3 seven more times.
5. After the 8th interrupted boot, your Nook will restore itself to the factory image that it came with right out of the box.
6. Done!
Hope this works! :good:
