Hey friends i have got this Defy which i bought from my friend who then moved to galaxy s plus. This is my first android.
so i thought lets speed it up first.
I have rooted it using superoneclickroot or something, but i forgot to unmount the sd card !! wanted to know what may happen if unnmount the sd card... why do we unmount exactly ?
My second question, if i do the unrooting using superoneclick, i should repeate the same procedure like i install ( keeping sdcard on usb mass storage ) or shall i keep sd card as none selection and then unroot or reroot it..
i am doing this because lately i have noticed many times that my cpu meter is goin 100 % a lot more than before rooting it.
also, even when i am connecting it to charge and selecting as none its showing 100% process ( many times i have noticed ).
I am not sure of installing cm7 at the moment as i have just purchased it.. no no cm7 or any other rom for me.
Any help appreciated... Thank you very much in advance.
you should just select unroot.After unroot is complete make sure that the superuser app is uninstalled.Reboot and you're done

we gotta unmount the sd-card before rooting?
i've never heard of that before oO
so wasn't it basically like that:
-connect phone to computer
-USB-Mass Storage
-USB Debug
-Super-One-Click
Root finished?

i tried the apps2sd on my galaxy 3 eclair but it doesnt work, it says to partition it and select my desired partion size, my phone restarts but doesnt do anything.
is it ok to upgrade my phone to that version? doesnt it do anything dangerous like bricking it? any disadvantage in upgrading to dat version??
can you tell me how to upgrade it to froyo 2.2???????
well, you could always go to the development section and got to the stickied thread that says READ FIRST and find your info there.
also, you might wanna check the thread below this one.

Upgrade your phone to 2.2. Apps2SD does not work on 2.1. Read both http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583 and if you happy, then read the full guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778880
This shows step by step method, and is aimed at beginners. Also, remember App2SD can only be used if your phone is rooted
yeah!!! successfully upgraded my phone to 2.2!!!!!!! now i tried running the apps2sd but still doesnt work... my phone is rooted. apps2sd doesnt work... whenever i run it it tells me to create a partion and it shows the partition meter on how much size will i allocate on the partition. i set it then pressed OK then it tells me to reboot..then nothing happens as soon as the phone started again.
1. BACK UP YOUR MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER AS THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING!!==== THIS IS IMPORTANT
2. Reboot into recovery (Use Amon RA 2.3==NOTHING OTHER THEN AMON )
3. Select =Partition sdcard=
4. Select =Partition SD=
5. Set swap to 0 (you can leave this at 32mb, I did.)
6. Ext2-size = 2048 (2GB - the 3.0 packages eat up a lot of the internal memory, you can adjust this lower, but 2GB is recommended if you have a lot of apps I did 2 and a half)
7. Select upgrade ext2 to ext3 ===DO NOT UPGRADE EXT 3 TO EXT 4=====
8.. Now go back and mount your SD card
9.. Place all your files back on the card. Also add the ROM, PRI 1.77 downgrade is recommended you will have WAKE ISSUES IF YOU DON'T.
10. If you have to flash the PRI, do so now and reboot. If not, move on.
12. Wipe everything you normally would prior to flashing a new rom.
13. Flash Kingdom
14. First boot takes about 3 to 5 mintues to get started.
15. ENJOY THE ROM FOLKS
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST OTA RADIOS.
THIS IS FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE HAVING ISSUES WHEN THEY PARTITIONED THERE SD CARDS AND THERE PHONES COULDN'T BOOT THE ROM.
THOSE THAT HAD THE ISSUES MUST OF UPGRADED EXT 3 TO EXT 4 WHEN THEY PARTITIONED. IT'S NOT THE ROM IT WAS USER ERROR PEOPLE.
IF YOU DID UPGRADE EXT 3 TO EXT 4 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO BOOT THE ROM YOU GET STUCK AT THE BOOT SCREEN AND IT WILL HANG. ONLY WAY TO FIX THAT IS TO WIPE THE SD CARD AND RE PARTITION.
DO NOT BLAME THE DEVS FOR SOMETHING YOU DID WRONG. THANKS
THERE IS A GFX FIX THAT SMOOTHS THE ROM OUT. GET IT THEN AFTER THE ROM IS INSTALLED REBOOT TO RECOVERY AND WIPE CACHE AND DAVLIX CACHE FLASH AND YOUR ALL GOOD. I WILL POST THE ATTACHMENTS TONIGHT FOR YA.
IF YOU ARE ON THE NEWEST KINGDOMS SUCH AS 6/22 OR GREATER NO NEED FOR THE GFX FIX. HOPE YOU GUYS LOVE KINGDOM.
I am not liable if you brick your sd card I don't know anyone that has so have fun folks.
Hope this helps stop people from hammering virus and dogging the rom's.
It's funny how people on the kingdom thread ask for directions but never look in the general threads to flashing kingdom or browse the threads on there for the info. Kingdom works fine.

part of the issue is that as a noob to rooting and flashing we are overly excited and are full of questions. i love the kingdom roms and hate that i can not ask questions in the thread regarding any issues i may be having or even a simple question like how to properly flash it. ive attempted to use the search thread and still its confusing. so i appriciate it when i come across something like this that teaches us noobs how to do it. a little instruction goes along way. ive tried to navigate the xda site on my own and have actually learned more through thread such as this than i did going solo! anyway thanks for all the help hope to pay it forward someday

So I'm getting a new 32gb card and was wondering if I have to put everything from my old card on if I want to start fresh. I think the only thing I'd want move back is my latest nandroid backup.
Also do you still recommend to repeat step 7 three times?

You are partitioned you won't get a low mem message saying your outta ram.

It should of mounted go back to it and see if it is mounted. Then once it's mounted copy all your old stuff back to the SD wipe if you need to like you would prior to flashing a rom. Then have at it

I mount in recovery?
I upgraded ext2 to ext3, says it's complete, then I went down to "Mounts", then "Mount /sdcard"......did nothing but change to "Unmount /sdcard".
Nothing else has come up.
Am I suppose to just reboot after the "ext2 to ext3" is complete?
Just enabled "USB-MS" and my SD card came up.
I don't know if that's something I should have done a while ago, but it looks like it's transfering all my .zips and my Titanium Backups to the SD card.
Maybe add that option to the tutorial for dopes like me who didn't have the USB-MS function enabled!

Ya after u mount you enable usb from the main menu of amon copy ur stuff back over. Your good to start flashing just make sure you wipe like you normally would prior to flashing a rom.
Downgrade pri then flash rom and so on
I need your help to do with the phone, which i broke a little i think..
The thing is when try out custom rooms, everything ok, but did not like anything in the custom rooms so i put back original soft ..
I used the backup, as well as the use Seuss .. To do this all the old way, but there is only one problem, when i connect my phone to pc, it doesnt mount sd card.. or someting is just black...
When you make phone present at the computer, he dont mount USB MASS storige device ... In other words, do not show when I have a Mirco SD CARD added ...
Phone in itself recognizes card and read out there on the files in ... Putting Mirco SD card in the ordinary SD apdapter computers read everything okey ... Putting it in another phone the same X8 also read .. Something is wrong with the phone .. and i dont know how to fix it ... I try 100x times new updates .. nothing does not help .. But imposing version of 1.6 everything goes and works ... but again that has just under 2.1 Where is my usb dont mounts ...
Maybe someone is exposed it when doest mount usb ...
Google found a solution, but it is only 2.3 version of the original fighting android Rom, or as they are called ..
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
Perhaps there is some way to get this worked on my phone ..
Phone: Sony Ericsson X8 e15i
OS: 2.1
may i suggest a few tests?
1. try connecting the phone to a different USB port, preferably at the back of the pc. dont connect it to a usb hub
2. If you had previously made ext partitions to use the app2sd native faeature, then delete all partitions from sd and reformat fat32. even if u havent made any partitions i suggest u reformat the SD
3. change usb cable, i have seen it before.
Are u using the original 2GB SD card, or another one bigger capacity?
I assume that u have flashed with SEUS the stock ROM 2.1 and have again tried.
This might not be a phone or ROM problem but maybe PC problem....
I agree gxaris, it look like it's problem with pc.
Did You tried to reinstall PCcompanion (it could be just driver problem).
I have the same problem a long time ago. I think there's something wrong with the phone. I've tried my cousin's X8, my PC can detect and mounts his SD Card. so I think the problem is not PC, its the phone itself. tbh I do nothing with it. Taking out SD card and put it in card reader doesn't kill me, I can live with that.
Sorry for not giving help, but I've tried many times to fix it, but no luck man.

Hi Guys,
I wonder if you can help as this is now driving me crazy.
I have my HD2 running NAND MDJs Gingerbread Cyanogan mod 7. Its been great but the problem I have is that on moving games to the SD card they never then run again constantly force closing. I know you are aware of this problem and am aware the solution would be an ext partition.
I 'believe' the device is rooted but am not 100% sure btu when i try to run z4root it sticks at the 'attempting to apply root' phase and never gets any further.
So I want to create an ext partition preferably a nice large one 1GB perhaps BUT the MAJOR issue here is that my USB port is dead so I have to use an external battery charger this means I can't reflash and start again I am stuck now with this rom which is fine cos I'm giving the phone to my gf, but she will want to play games.
Please help....sorry for asking a fairly newb question. I need a simple explanation of the steps I can use to fix this.
Cheers
Adam
have u try rom manager to push the fix permission
it worked for me
Yes I have tried fix permission it did nothing
Can someone tell me.how to do an ext without USB access. I.have a card reader to transfer stuff onto the SD. So can do things.that way.
Cheers
Adam
does anyone have an idea on this...as it's driving me insane
How to make ext partition around 1 gig in size with no USB to PC functionality?
please
Cheers
Adam
From CWM.
Just reboot your phone into recovery, select Advanced > Partition SD Card .
Good luck, Adam.

I am observing a similar problem. This week I decided to move up from my marshmallow-powered Verizon Galaxy Nexus (i515) to a brand new Verzion Galaxy S7 (G930V) that came with PH1 firmware. Shortly after rooting the stock ROM I noticed that the phone labeled my external sdcard (PNY Elite 200GB UHS-I) as "corrupted" in the settings. I wrote this off to my experimentation with adoptable storage. Reformatting portable storage in settings did not fix the issue; returning to stock did. I then started playing with the couple versions of stang5litre's ROM in the development thread. The same thing kept on happening: at some point the portable storage in settings became labeled "corrupted." Again, I didn't think much of it because I was jumping back and forth between stang5litre's versions and stock to compare features and figured I was doing the corrupting.
As it turns out, the sdcard really isn't corrupted.
Scanning the sdcard on my Windows PC with CHKSK reveals no errors.
Scanning the unmounted sdcard in Android via adb (fsck.exfat /dev/block/mmcblk0) produced no errors.
I can mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 to /mnt/media_rw and access the sdcard data.
If the sdcard "corruption" is happening with rooting, I wonder if the solution is in a SuperSU setting.

Same exact thing here installed stang all was good I believe until I installed xposed I pulled the card for now last time I had not installed xposed & it happened real quick after root. First time I rooted installed xposed & it happened right away. Second time right after root no xposed. Third time had it rooted 3 days all good installed xposed couple reboots later did it again wtf lol. Im a boat heavy diesel mechanic working 16-18 hrs a day so with the time consumption of all this I get a little cross eyed at times lol thanks

I took things all the way back to stock and have been going in slow steps, letting things sit for a bit between steps to see the moment when the portable sdcard gets "corrupted". I also made sure to diligently follow instructions.
Stock Verizon S7 (G930V, PE1) - SD card good
Rooted following psouza4's pinned guide - SD card good
FlashFire'd S7_or_S7Edge_Fixes_V15.zip - SD card good
FlashFire'd xposed-v85.1-sdk23-arm64-custom - SD Card good
ADB installed Xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk - SD Card good
SDcard is apparently /dev/block/vold/public:179,1 which mounts to /mnt/media_rw/5075-2B3F as exfat. /mnt/media_rw/5075-2B3F is mounted to /storage /5075-2B3F as sdcardfs.
I'm guessing the "5075-2B3F" is my card label.
Going to let things sit for a few days before I try out stang5litre's V2 ROM again.

I'm sitting on four days rooted no problems. Used G 930U used fix & not fix & debloat as I used originaly, debloated myself using SD maid pro which is pretty handy no xposed yet gotta get a little more rest before that case it goes bad lo do want xposed mainly for extra stuff for greenify. I Just want to say thanks to everyone here for all the information gathered here. You usually won't here much from me here as I usually try to work through my problems just reading, don't like to bother people. Thanks so much again

As of now I have everything working including xposed w/ greenify. its been almost a week all is stable. Dont know the exact cause maybe overzealous de bloat. Don't use package disable as this is for non root anyway, I think I used it on first 2 foul ups uninstalled it after root maybe it was too late. Also I just used the fix & not the debloat/fix although I have no Idea if that had any effect the first two times. I've been using SD maid pro to debloat & maintain once u get it figured out its real nice just be careful as default settings are safe but there are settings that will allow you to take yourself down I know from experience lol. Once this symptom happens I dont think there is an easy fix gotta re load . I also think leaning to the conservative side of debloating might help. Right now mine is as close to perfect as I could hope for after four failed attempts. Thanks to u all
