Hi all,
I am very new user of android g1 phone so i would like to ask you sum silly questions :
1. How to know that my google g1 phone is rooted ( I bought it from ebay ).
2. How to install / download sweeter home ..
thanx in advance
If it has an app called Superuser Whitelist installed then it is definitely rooted. If not, you need to get an app from the market called Terminal Emulator. Open it and type getprop ro.secure . If the response is 0 then you are rooted. Otherwise you are not rooted.
To install apps, just open the Market. You can search by name at any time by pressing the keyboard search button (looks like a magnifying glass).
thanx jashsu for reply , there is no any application installed called Superuser Whitelist in my phone and as per your advise i installed Terminal emulator , response is 1, that means my phone is not rooted right ???? suggest me what is difference between rooted or non rooted phone, what can i do with rooted phones , plz....

Koush's sticky (link below) describes why and how to gain root. I would suggest you only perform it if you are confident in your proficiency with computers and following computing-related instructions. If the notion that you might disable your phone for some unknown reason and not be able to instantly restore it worries you, then do not root.

thanx again one more problem i am facing is whenever i start camera it shows please insert sd card before using the camera , but when i go sd card and memory option there it shows sd card space is 968 mb that means sd card is inside, Whats wrong with my phone please suggest
Hm. Give this a shot:
1. Connect G1 to computer
2. Mount the sd card (on G1)
3. Copy the contents of the /Camera folder to computer
4. Delete the /Camera folder
5. Dismount the sd card (on the computer)
6. Unplug G1
After that try your Camera app again. If it doesn't work, check another app that uses the sd card, like the Music app.
Just to tip you off, don't know if this has been fixed yet, but when I rooted my phone around 2 months ago, the RC29 image didn't work... in fact it bricked my phone causing it to go straight to the bootloader no matter what, I had to find another source to download the RC29 to get it to work, and following that rooting went smooth (telnet part was a bit rough) and now its great!
Welcome to the world of the Android
Thanx 2 all, finally i formatted my card and its working properly even in camera , thanx again
Hi,
i'm very happy with my arc, but i want to root it. i have fastboot lock so i'm gonna use gingerbreak i think. But is there a official site or something where we can find the official ROMS of sony ericsson if anything go wrong ? And how are we going to update gingerbread when update will be available ?
Cheers
Rooting with Gingerbreak doesn't cause anything wrong with your ROM. Also you can use SEUS if you still have your boot loader locked.
OK thanks, i'm going to do that. But i can't find a way to launch the gingerbreak apk, everybody speaks as everything was obvious, but i don't know what adb is, and i can't put the app on the phone (not the sd card...) but i'm gonna google it.

just put the gingerbreak apk (v1.2 is the one i used) in the sd card then launch Application Installer (in my Arc this app is included) then you're all set. ah and remember to set first the usb debugging. and on my arc it didn't format the card.
regards
Put the .apk on the SD card, and open it using astro file manager.
Yeah thanks i opened it with root explorer i think it's the same thing... doesn't work for me. I press root, then it unmount my SD card and then i wait forever and nothing happens, so i press home, try to mount my SD card, the app crash so i need tro restart and i'm back where i started..
you need set allow usb debugging to true before you run the apk. I used 1.2 too, it only took like 2 sec to do it.
and when it says "mount your sd card" means mount it to the phone, not your computer.
Thank you i made it really cool i delete all the app add by orange !!! I have one last question If an update comes out will i be able to update if im rooted ? And is it going to unroot my phone ?
Yes - you'll still be able to update using SEUS - rooting won't affect that.. but you will lose the root!...you might be better off installing a generic .184 or .181 rom using Flashtool so that you get the early update, and none of the junk Orange like to add!
I already thought about that but there is some apps usefull from orange like voicemail like iphone... and i dont know where to find those official roms
I own Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 830L, firmware "upgraded" to 830LC, rooted. I've tested the provided solution only on it, though it should work on other models, and maybe even on other devices.
I've built exFAT and ntfs-3g drivers from the most resent sources, and made a shell script, to auto-mount a microSD at the system start. Root and SuperSU are required. Currently, the installation is manual. The project is here:
https://github.com/Lurker00/Android-fs/releases
Please read the description I've written, at least "How to mount?" section, and, of course, the disclaimer.
Edit: Now it has a CWM/TWRP installation zip for easy use!

Thanks a lot for putting effort into this! I haven't tried it yet, but I'd suggest to create an app/APK which installs the files necessary and which features some buttons for mounting and unmounting. A CWM package is not such a good idea due to the fact that we have only temporary CWM and hence installing would still be a bit painful. This app could be something like a Yoga tablet 2 toolkit, which could maybe even include my sharpness fix
I've created CWM/TWRP installation zip with exFAT and NTFS drivers, and mounting script. It can be downloaded from here:
https://github.com/Lurker00/Android-fs/releases
Now, if you have rooted your Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 (any screen size), and have SuperSU installed, just download UPDATE-android-fs-1.0.1-install.zip, install the same way, and start using exFAT (strongly recommended!) or NTFS (not recommended!) microSD.
To safely unmount for hot unplug, use Android settings. For mount after hot plug, better to reboot your tablet.
Note: the microSD file system is checked before mounting, and, if errors are found, it is mounted as read-only. So, if you find out that you can't write to the microSD, safely remove it and check (allowing to fix errors) it under Windows. It is strongly recommended to check and fix under Windows, because both exFAT and NTFS are produced by Microsoft, and no open source software is able to correct the file system errors correctly!
I have Yoga Tablet 2 8''. But the installation zip contains binary files for a number of platforms, and may work on other Lenovo Android devices. Being manually installed, the drivers are confirmed to work on:
Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro
Lenovo Vibe Z2
Lenovo S90
so I see no a reason why they will not work being installed via recovery console.
I almost thought my Yoga 2-850F is broken as it was impossible to mount or format any micro SD card. Even when I tried formatting the card with my android phone using various file systems (i.e. exfat, ext4 etc.), I would always get an error. Finally, just flashing the zip did the trick. Thanks for the script!
I've updated the drivers to version 1.0.2:
1. One more supolicy rule added to the mounting script. Without it, unmount from Android Settings didn't work.
I didn't put per-platform binaries this time, because the recovery zip contains them all.
I'm sorry for so frequent updates, but
exFAT/NTFS fuse drivers binaries for Android v1.0.3
The problem is that the original exFAT driver was designed to update the file system only at unmount events, but the current Android never unmounts microSD mounted not by Android's vold process Meaning, file system corruption may happen on a reboot or power off.
Version 1.0.2 partially addresses that issue, and is stable enough. Only freshly created directories can be damaged by a reboot, and only if there were no any file operations after that, i.e. a rare case. Version 1.0.3 ensures that the file system is kept consistent almost always. It can be damaged only by removing microSD card during write operation.
Nevertheless, I plan to make at least one more release, to keep microSD clean, when there are no pending writes. Also, I'd try to improve the write performance compared to 1.0.3, without a penalty of the file system consistency.
I just have released
exFAT/NTFS fuse drivers binaries for Android v1.0.4
and I can say I'm quite satisfied with both performance and robustness of the resulting exFAT driver (no changes were made to ntfs-3g). So, I believe, it is the final build for a while.
Worked perfect.
Tested and working perfect:
Tablet: Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2 Pro Android 4.4
Micro SD: Lexar 128GB (633x) Formatted to exFAT
I flashed it via temp recovery and did a reboot from recovery. Then shut down the tablet and put the exFAT card in. Booted up and not so much as a whisper. The system recognised and mounted the card without any problems.
Thanks again for your hard work.
Now to find a custom ROM. I think I've got more chance of finding rocking horse s**t than a ROM for my tablet though
Hello,
Thanks fort the work.
I have got a lenovo yoga tab 2 1050F updated tout lollipop and rooted.
Can you tell US if it is works with both KitKat ans lollipop?
Can you détail the installing methode?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't upgrade to Lollipop myself, and I don't want to.
The driver and the mounting script are reported to work under Lollipop, but, for auto-mount on boot, they rely on /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script modified by SuperSU to launch with required privileges on system boot, which is not the case for Lollipop. It works flawlessly under Kitkat though.
You can find the detailed instructions at the github place from the link above. It's as easy as to root.
Hi,
Should this work on the Tab 2 A10-70, which has ARMv8 (Cortex-A53, MT8165 chipset)?
Looking for a sustainable solution to get exFAT working on that Lenovo device, it's a real let down it doesn't by default...
Many thanks !
You can try yourself...
There are binaries for all kinds of arm, including 64-bit. The mounting script won't work under Lollipop. But people with rooted devices and stright hands manage to make the drivers launched at right time with right options. I heard successful reports for very different devices.

I'm still on kit-kat, and rooted. I've yet to install CWM/TWRP though, so that's the first step. I'm pretty limited on tech skills so that might be an issue, but I'll see how it goes ; if it's a simple zip flash then great, otherwise things may get too out of hands
If/when I get around to testing, I'll keep you posted - but in the meantime many thanks for the work on this!
Thank you for your work. It works with exfat microsd 64 go sandisk and my lenovo 1050F tablet under lollipop.
I don't know how android system works, sorry for newbie questions
I try to have my external SD mounted in R/W at launch time.
In superSU, i change the following parameter : activate su on starting to enable but it does not work.
I have read that /system/etc/install-recovery.sh is executed by super-su. I can see at the end of this shell /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh is called but it does not mount the SD in R/W...
Any help is appreciated! Thank you.
Unfortunately, Lollipop has more protection, and it launches install-recovery.sh in a very restricted environment, not enough for the mounting script to work properly. And I don't know a way to launch my script at the boot time with required privileges under Lollipop. One of the reasons I don't want to "upgrade" my 830LC to 5.0.1!
I have a Lenovo yoga tablet 2 830LC, upgraded to Lollipop 5.0.1 recently. There are no proper root guides for the Lollipop version anywhere on the forum, and since I'm interested in rooting my device and also be able to write to the external sd card, I request you to guide me on this. I'm sorry if this isn't the proper thread for my request but would be appreciated much.

Same way you did it when rooted. It is launched one time only.

Yeah, it's a shame that Lenovo hasn't included exFAT support.

I love you, man! :good:
I just got your drivers to work on a Lenovo Tab 2 A10-70F running Android 5.0.1.
Yes, the install-recovery-2.sh mounting script doesn't work there, because it runs in a restrictive security context on Lollipop, if I've understood it correctly.
I flashed your update zip, noticed that it didn't work, then searched for some other options. I thought about init.d, but that isn't supported on this tablet either.
However, SuperSU, which I've already been using, offers a "su.d" mechanism, similar to init.d, and I used that to get it to run!
One needs to have SuperSU and busybox installed, and flash your update zip with a custom recovery (this one works for the Tab 2 A10-70, F & L).
Then create /system/su.d directory and move the /system/etc/install-recovery-2.sh script there. It can be named anything, I renamed it "/system/su.d/00mount_exfat_ntfs.sh".
I'm not too sure about the permissions, I used 755 for both the directory and the script.
In the SuperSU settings (accessible in the SuperSU app), the option "mount namespace separation" must be disabled.
I have a 64GB SanDisk Ultra microSDXC card, but for some reason it wouldn't want to work with exFAT on this tablet at first.
/dev/block/mmcblk1p1 did not show up while the card was inserted, only /dev/block/mmcblk1.
I formatted the card with NTFS, and that worked. I changed it back to exFAT, and then it finally did show up. Weird.
Anyway, would you recommend exFAT or NTFS, Lurker0?
I've used this card with NTFS on an older tablet, and it was rock solid, which I can't say about my experience with exFAT.
One minor caveat: the card isn't automatically mounted on insertion. Mounting requires another execution of the mounting script, either by rebooting or running "su -c /system/su.d/00mount_exfat_ntfs.sh".
Is there any way to make that automatic?
Thanks again.

NTFS is not flash-friendly, so I believe exFAT is better.

It requires to write an application to watch for system mount events and run that script. I'm lazy to do it
Hi all,
First of all - forgive me if the subject has been up before - I did a bit of searching, but could't really find much about the subject.
I'm generally very pleased with the Mi A1 (my 4th "main" android phone after HTC Desire, SGS3 & OPO) but one thing that is giving me a bit of grief is this thing with access to my sd card, more precisely with copying content to the card by using different apps like root explorer, dropbox, dropsync pro etc.
Two very common actions in my usage are:
- Start an ftp-server on the phone and push new episodes of whatever tv-series I'm watching for the moment from computer to phone
- Open root explorer in my phone and copy stuff from my Dropbox folder to my phone (and back)
Neither of these actions can be done in my A1 (stock Oreo). The phone actually give the appearance of giving me the option to choose the sd-card but when trying to actually transfer something there it get's stuck before finishing or just return an error when trying.
So my question is - to get back to actually having rights to transfer stuff to my SD card without any problems, which of the below options would be the "easiest":
1. Does this work if I downgrade to Nougat?
2. Would rooting be enough if I stay on Oreo?
3. Can I transfer more freely with LOS 15.x?
4. Other options?
I actually found one thread mentioning this as a problem in stock Oreo so I know I'm not alone with the problem.
Thanks in advance,
/gosa
Hi,
Found this when searching Google for solutions this problem.
At the moment my only way of getting files onto the memory card is to download them to the internal storage and then using "Stock" file manager to copy them to the memory card... A bit to many steps if you ask me.
I was thinking that rooting might solve it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Here one more with the same problem. I have the My A1 in ROM Stock Oreo 8 with root via magisk, and it is tedious and annoying not to be able to write to the external SD. I use ADM, apps for downloads Torrent, Solid Explorer.
Having Root I had the opportunity to try several possible solutions. Here some of them (note: none worked, nor resolved) I expose them in case someone else wants to try, possibly something will work for them.
Root ??????
SDFix: KitKat Writable MicroSD. (Developed by NextApp)
Magisk Modules??????
App Systemizer
ExSDCard Access Enabler
Xposed ??????
Marshmallow SD fix
KitKat SD Card Full Access (Caution: gives many errors in OS)
Handle External Storage
One way to take it with Solid Explore (it's more visual than the Stock Explorer):
* Solid Explorer, to paste or write to SD, always go to Root / mnt / media_RW / SD Card
As I mentioned. None of the above worked for me.
The only way to solve the problem momentarily is to download and use the apps all in the internal memory, with the stock file explorer moving the files to the external SD in a step later.
If someone can give light to this problem or a possible solution I will be very grateful.
*(sorry for my English)
Have you tried binding folder/creating softlink
Could you explain how it is done? Or inform about the subject.
Just got 8.1 and the problem is gone.
Only use my Note 3 to play audio and video files.
Recently noticed some video files missing on a 64GB exFAT mSD card.
1st thought they had been deleted by Note 3.
Just did a chkdsk scan and everything OK. Have a screen capture of this but do not know how to attach.
Additional Info: My Note 3 has stock Android 4.4.2 (KitCat) and never rooted.
Am Open to all suggestions how to correct this problem.
Hey I might can offer some assistance. BUT IM A FRESH NEWBIE TO THIS. I MEAN I JUST STARTED REALLY MESSING WITH MY PHONE 2 DAYS AGO. First what type of note 3 do you have? (ie. Sprint=SM-N900P) do you have service on your phone? Do you have any experience with custom ROMs?
SurageBook said:
? (ie. Sprint=SM-N900P) do you have service on your phone?
I hope not as this is not the Sprint model forum .
OP i would copy data off then full format sd card as a starter .
Damaged files look in the Lost Files folders .

SurageBook "what type of note 3 do you have?" Verizon "have service on your phone?" No "Do you have any experience with custom ROMs?" No
JJEgan "...i would copy data off then full format sd card as a starter." Agree did copy the wanted data.
As previously mentioned have used Windows longer than Android so used chkdsk to examine & fix the mSD Card. Everything was OK and all the missing files were shown and Not damaged,
Since posting I backed up all the wanted data and then put the mSD card back in my Note 3. All the missing files were there and undamaged. Can anyone explain this?
From experience most Windows users reload the OS every few years.
Am wondering if I should Factory reset my Android 4.4.2 OS?
Any recommendations?
Man if you just use that phone for a media device just create a backup of your phone, SD card, and copy it to your PC then install custom ROMs until you find one you like and root that bad boy. My note 3 is my primary phone with service and I have about 10 custom ROMs on my SD card that I switch every couple of days. Earlier today I was on Havco OS 2.8 android 9 now I'm on some rom that when it turns on theres a pink unicorn and its on android 7. Its easier than you think. Things you need are 1. TWRP(for your phone model) 2. Odin(on PC to flash things to your phone*optional) 3. Custom ROM 4. magisk(to root your phone) 5. Gapps (for the android version that's on the custom rom*optional) 6. Enjoy
SurageBook Thanks for the tips!
Do you know if any good tutorials concerning how to root the Verizon version of Note 3?
I don't know about Verizon I'm on sprint but if you go to the Verizon section you'll find a guide for your firmware. https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-note-3/general
Please guys post in the forum for your phones .
Otherwise i see a reply on here not your models leading to a bricked phone .
