[Q] A2SD problems.

Here is a story about me and my phone:
I'm using this rom for about 2-3 months and it's great!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817793
But when I was updating some apps with the Play Store I got error 492.
Googled it and I found a thread on XDA and it said that I had to clear some caches.
So I did that and a Dalvik Cache wipe and I fixed permissions.
But it ended in an endless boot. So wiped everything and I did as an extra a Task 29. I flashed my rom installed INT2EXT+. The first boot after I flashed INT2EXT+ something weird happened: The WiFi just didn't turn on. I just turned it on but the slider bounced back after 5 seconds. Reflashed still that problem. So here comes the question how can I fix it?

Wi-Fi issues are sometimes connected to too small system partition. Perhaps caused by bad blocks. Make sure your system partition is bigger than needed. I usually add 10/15 mb above what the rom requires

Did what you said but when I let it start up I just see just a FC of Settings that's it. :crying::crying:
I rebooted it several times en every time it boots up I see ''Android is Upgrading''.

did you do a 'wipe data' because although the partitioning will clear out all teh nand, there may be stuff on the sd-ext/fat that are left over. a wipe data / factory reset clears those out too.

Yes, it's called A2SD you will have to flash something trough CWM and partition sd card. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1716124

But let's get on topic again what can I do to make A2SD work back again?

Please Please help me!!!! I'm turning pretty desparate by now!

just saying but:
Funnydwarf said:
That's because int2ex need its own script for wiping dalvik, using the one provided with CWM will cause bootloops: both of you can find the right one on the first post of croniccorey's thread. Just search for "Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool" then make it run from install zip from sdcard entry.

If you have int2ex installed then download and run that zip because if you use normal CWM wipe-cache-dalvik, you'll get a bootloop. this may help you?

Status 7 error on all ROM's and Kernels and CWM flashing

I had been running Wanam's ROM, and using Perseus kernel.
But now when I try to install another ROM, kernel or change the CWM zip I'm using it will always come back with a status 7 error. Flashing some ROM's just reboot, and go back into CWM.
I'm now stuck in CWM and can't boot up any ROM or can't restore a backup as its also saying status 7...
Have done a day of researching but any solution didnt work. Changing the updater-script to allow the i9500 didnt work as it already allowed any device to flash it.
Any ideas guys?
cheers.

Hi,
Would THIS help?
If you returned everything to stock,you may be able to start again.

So just use ODIN and go back to stock, then re-root and try again from stock...
Thanks, I didn't even think of starting again from scratch...

Is there anyway to move folder from external SD card to internal SD card within CWM?
It seems to be a problem with my external SD card.
"error mounting external SD card"
I'm assuming that this is a exFAT problem as prior to this issue i was FAT32

Hi,
That would need some kind of file explorer.
I do not know if there is such a thing in CWM.

[Q] Custom rom and clean install

So i had the stock rom 4.4.2 not rooted
I flashed the cwm 6.0.4.7 with heimdall
And i tried from the external storage to install cyanogenmod
First at the installation i get an error about loki fying
After rebooting at the galaxy s4 logo up to the left i get small letters kernel is not seandroid enforcing
set warranty bit : kernel.
And although i wiped cache data dalvik and so on. I still have all the old data on my internal storage....
What am i doing wrong?

I am not sure where you are seeing a problem.
Is cyanogen not loading?
The kernel not seandrpid enforcing thing is normal. It means nothing to you in terms of daily use.

You mean like your pictures and stuff? That is because they are on the internal sd card. You don't need to wipe that stuff on a rom install.

Kraft-A6000_SO56_150924 and issues

Discuss about the latest OTA update Kraft-A6000_SO56_150924 for Lenovo A6000 and issues...

Hi,
Could anyone upload the latest OTA update file KRAFT-A6000_SO52_150825_TO_Kraft-A6000_SO56_150924..??

yes,,,, wait

did and successfully running...... it was 1.02GB not 136 MB. with mod permits, can share the torrent file.

Is it so..? But look at the screenshot I've attached.. It's 136 MB for me..!! I've downloaded it but during the installation it shows error and ends...
Any way could you please share the torrent file..?
Also tell me where is the location of this downloaded OTA UPDATE file..?

Yeah, refer to the attachment, copied to external storage as it was giving me an error for space. Ota can be found @ \lenovoota folder. Shall send you the link once I reach home.

I've downloaded this update but hasn't installed. For me it's showing lenovoota as empty folder...!!

rebooted right? if so, you need to re-download the update. after downloading, do not click on install, explore thru file manager and it will be under lenovoota (phone storage). copy to external sd, apply thru recovery. i think it is a patch only, hence do not wipe data/factory reset in recovery

I haven't rebooted yet.. It's still showing as same as in screenshot... I've tried installing it once and it ended up in error.. I used ES Explorer..yet it's showing empty folder...

what is showing in system update status, if it is showing update now, means your ota update still available and if it is showing download now, means you need to re-download.

I tried installing again and ended up with this error...

as suspected cause i have been reading about this. lucky me that i never had this issue. seems it is better to download complete S056_150924 and install as fresh update. you may visit to this page, size is matching with mine one however this may be world edition [ global version line sony] as ended with WC1
what i did:
1. copied the zip into external sd
2. booted into recovery
3. wipe data/factory reset
4. wipe cache data
5. update from external storage
it took near about 30 minutes to appear language selection menu. let me know

OK..thanks a lot for your effort..

hope it has been done successfully ....

Nope. Still getting the error..

Its a stock OTA, you have to flash it using stock recovery not TWRP.

I extracted the main zip in SD card
Wiped data etc
Flashed system.zip
Rebooted twice *my first bootup was a blank screen for around 20m so I got fed up and rebooted*
Then flahed India.ota.zip
Reboot and done
Worked for me guys.
Hope it works for y'all. Gl.
I used pac man rom previously.

Possible to Recover Data from Soft-Bricked S7 Edge?

I have a Canadian S7 edge and it had been rooted for a long time, but I lost the root when I updated to android 7.0.0. I foolishly tried to root it the exact same way I had before (Odin and .tar file method) and now my phone refuses to fully power on. After the boot logo, some new "integrity verification" has failed and I get a message saying my only option is apparently to factory reset and loose everything since my last backup. I'm wondering if there's any way to either:
a) Recover my data first. My PC won't read my phone at the "integrity verification failure" screen, however, my phone can boot into download mode (still unreadable, though). I've tried a few sketchy phone recovery programs on free trials, and none of them were able to read my phone (though none seemed high-quality anyway).
b) Flash stock firmware and fix this all. I am currently downloading stock 7.0 firmware and CSC files for my region/carrier, and I'm wondering if flashing this will pass the "integrity" check and put me safely back to square one, or if I'll lose everything there too.
I don't have a custom recovery currently either, though I realize that wiping my phone would mean I could quickly do that. But caving and wiping my phone is the last thing I want to do here. Any help here would be extremely appreciated!

First of all .. I think flash Stock ROM will erase all data.
but if you can flash custom recovery by ODIN and mount USB Storage to PC and manual backup your data .. it will be good idea if it possible.

If I flashed custom recovery, what exactly do you mean by mounting USB Storage to PC? Is that something I could do in the custom recovery (TWRP for example)?
Also, I'm okay with losing system settings or apps, but internal storage like images and music is what I really want to save.

Yes .. TWRP Exactly has option to mount device internal storage or micro sd card storage to PC so you can transfer files between device and PC.

So does this all mean that there's no way to root the S7 edge on Nougat yet, or is there a different way that'll work fine and I just made a dumb mistake?

When I say "no-go" I mean it's something that won't work. TWRP looks like it doesn't work anymore, when I read your problem that you posted, and the warnings on the TWRP website and XDA page.
I did some reading and it looks like flashing my stock ROM shouldnot delete my internal storage data, so I think that might be my only chance. If it doesn't work either, I'll factory reset, because I don't want to risk the same error you had.

Since you don't have anything to worry about (if it fails you can reset again), I'd try again and see if it works, if I were you.

I'm currently factory resetting my phone (goodbye phone data ). I tried to flash a stock ROM and after a few failed attempts, it failed so bad I got a message saying the only thing I could do now was factory reset LOL. Not much I can do now but be glad I didn't 100% ruin my phone I guess.
I may try rooting again in the future, but I'll have to learn how to do it your way, since my way doesn't work right now.
