my DREAMY G1 can't ROOT!! weak SD & usb, bluetooth etc*&$^%$

Thanks for Looking, really desperate.
I can’t root this ^#%@ G1. Basically I can not get nesscarry rooting files flashed on my G1. I guess the short question is why does my G1 not accept files from my win7 box. Not through the preferred SD card method but, not through wifi, Bluetooth, ADB. Droid explorer, etc, etc. I’ve tried everything , every method …nill.
BUT, otherwise the phone works fine. Internet, phone, G1 crapware, etc. You can assume I’ve tried every thing I can find on the web. But if you want to read details go please do
BACKROUND:
After many, many attempts with every recipe and every set of ROMs around, I ‘ve narrowed it down to it not liking the taste of my SD cards…most of the time, For some reason I can do the initial rc29 downgrade but not much more.
1) Connecting with USB cable to PC. android shows up in “devices and printers” and so does its “removable disk (after mounted from phone). However, double clicking, rt click trying to for mat it just gives errors
2) Putting in SD card while up and running returns “unrecognizable media”
3) Now, I can format SD (yes fat 32) on the PC card reader, add files, whatever, put card in phone and turn it on , at least I don’t get an error, but I get no better acces to card.
I was just about to physically take the phone apart and see if there was some flotsam, corrosion, a piese of bacon making the sd connection physically corrupting the physical conectoion. THAN I remembered blue toothe behaves the same way and WI FII won’t connect at all. Seem that indicates something systremic…Radio??
Help Please?!?!
PK
BTW:
ATEMPS AT REMIDIATION:
5 different New SD cards three, 4 gig, one 6 gig, one 2 gig different meg cards
SD reformats both quick and full adnaseum
4 different USB cords including brand new top of the line.
Re set to RC29 time and time again (remarkably it is apparently reading the flash drive

[Q] Read file only system

Hi,
since i have bought milestone 2 i have the similar problem... even now with the newest original rom
the downloading is interrupting almost every time, browser have never downloaded bigger file than approximate 20 mb and even opera mini doesnt work well with downloading
since i have got the fasterdownolader app it says me sometimes that the problem is system file read only (null)... or something like that, but i am downloading strictly on the sd card which is weird... so doesnt anybody know where could be the problem?
I have rooted rom with 1-click rooter
Sometimes it helps me to mount and umount sd card, but sometimes it doesnt.
The only app without downloading problems is dropbox
can i do something with the sd card to makes it work better? (for example)

I could be wrong but I believe it is more so to with with mobile internet in general being too unstable and some of the sources you download from don't work very well with it. This problem is most common with file sharing sites for myself, ones that don't support resuming downloads. Little bumps and resets in the connection (although you are not aware they happen) cause it to stall and then it simply wont resume. I've seen it happen on phones of friends etc, and even had it happen downloading over wireless hotspot on my laptop.
Some games with in app downloads will be very hard to download over my data connection and I only end up wasting nearly 1gb of my cap only to have 3 failed downloads halfway through, then it is seemless on wifi when I get home.

If you need a good download test side ... I always use the new release of ubuntu ... http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/11.10/release/
And if you want to make sure it is not your mobile internet connection ... did you have the same problem with WLAN and downloads?
Just some ideas ... maybe it helps!

Thank you both for help
Finally I have got the answer, my main problem is SD card bigger than 8 GB
Since i have the 16 gb' card I have problems with reading and writing data on it
Mount and Unmount card is my daily routine, because even MortPlayer has a problem to play a music sometimes

Have you read this post?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025501

I have and it did solve my problem I forgot to note it here
but thank you very much, it is sometimes hard to be a muggle and to find a solution only by yourself
Even with newest gingerbread my new 16 gb's sd card freezes repeatedly...
but to replace the dll's did helped me (hopefully)
so here it goes

[Q] Mtp / usb mass storage support?

I'm currently on the latest nightly for s2 i777 i update every day how ever the mtp file transfer over usb constantly disconnects/ freezes randomly it also freezes during file transfers especially for large files like movies and flash-able zip files. i can see the space available but when it is opened it shows up empty, slow loading times and windows gives time out and other failure errors.
Q1. can it be fixed or is one already on the way?
Q2. can the usb mass storage mode be included in the ROM to allow switching between mass storage mtp or ptp?
Much appreciated. Great work omni team.

Actually I haven't yet gotten around to killing UMS with fire.
This is the first time I've seen reports of issues other than speed with MTP, although some of those issues may be related to the whole fuse sdcard daemon mess.
In short: UMS is going to get completely removed because it's been bugridden ****e for a long time. It's been deprecated since ICS. If MTP has issues I'll try and reproduce/look at them but honestly, the Exynos 4210 devices are on minimal life support these days.
Do you have issues if you use ADB push/pull to transfer files?

I haven't been able to do it manually but adb based software like android commander doesn't detect the phone on PC even tho debugging is enabled and it appears in device manager. Will try and respond later tonight. Can I ask tho as to y the exynos devices aren't receiving much love from the community. The i777 in particular because I kno that the ROMs are similar to the i9100 except the kernel and the modem.

In short - Exynos4 is a nightmare for maintainers to work with.

i777 and i9100 will never differ by more than a few days in terms of support. In fact 90% of the work done on i9100 is actually done on an i777.
(to be honest, nearly all of the Exynos 4210 work is done on GT-N7000 devices these days... but all of the differences between the three devices in the 4210 family are well handled)

My apologies adb is indeed working. Just had to revoke all permissions and the device no displays the popup to accept the connection. and there has been improvements on the mtp since the last nightly thank you very much.

Grand Prime SM-530AZ Problem

Hello, for the past few months on each boot I get prompted with
Android System​There's an internal problem with your device, and itmay be unstable until you factory data reset
Maps then proceeds to crash

Well Windows 10 64bit has been creating problems for many many people in the forum and I have seen people running vm and win 7 for the best results. And something very important I must say is that most of the new computers do have USB 2.0 ports but they are limited in numbers, so you should find one on ur PC, to us it specifically for phone tweaking softwares. I would suggest you find another PC or laptop around,

I hope you realize I'm talking about a physical phone that has nothing to do with my desktop computer.

I guess I get to ask the first dumb question!

Hello all,
Used to be on here for about 10 years but now I don't have access to my old email so I'm back to being a newbie. I feel like one too since the last device I rooted was a HTC HD2. Those were the days... LOL I've been a longtime Windows guy since 6.1 and before and have followed the progress through 7, 8, 8.1 & 10 as an insider but I think it's time to start looking at Android again.
Anyway, saw this really great deal on Amazon for the Idol 5S and since I was already using an Idol 4S with Windows, I thought I'd give it a go. Especially for $211 it seemed like a pretty good deal to me. Now the first annoying thing is really why the price was so good and that's the Amazon Prime ads on the lock screen. No way to get rid of them. They've obviously rooted the phone already and taken away any developer options and that's what I was looking for when it brought me back to XDA.
My problem is that I have an SD card installed, I made sure to format it and it functions as you'd expect with one exception. When I connect to my PC via PTP (Win10 latest insider build), I see internal storage but not the SD card. If I change to MTP use for the USB, I get nothing at all just a charge. I've installed the correct drivers in Windows so I don't see why this should be an issue unless something has changed these days with you having no external access to the SD card? I was thinking of checking USB debug mode to make sure that was off but like I said, no developer options are available.
That brings me to my question (Dumb or not), anyone got any ideas? Is my new newbie status just making me blind? I guess there is no way to root this device yet until some clever dev comes up with a way but if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. thanks in advance and have a great day! :good:

There are no dumb questions (as long as there are no sticky threads that already contain the answer ).
Are you using the SD card as an external storage or is it recognized by your phone as part of the internal storage (c.f. settings->storage)? The latter is an optional feature that got introduced with android M. Neither your phone nor your PC will distinguish between the phones internal storage and the SD card if you use this option.
You need to be aware that your SD card gets encrypted if you decide to use that feature and that only your phone is able to decrypt the data that is stored on the card. In other words if your phone dies due to whichever reason then you won't be able to recover the data on your card. In addition, the internal storage of nowadays smartphones is quite fast (in regard to its read/write speed). Most of the SD cards on the market aren't (in comparison to the internal storage's speed). This means that integrating an SD card to your internal storage slows your phone down.

Thanks for the reply Flippy. I've tried to format the SD both ways. First as external storage and secondly as internal storage. Either way I do it, it is not showing up in Windows file explorer as expected. I see internal storage being the actual phone with no problem but no go on the SD card. It's a strange problem that I've never run across before. I've read that this may occur if USB debugging is on but since this is a pre-rooted phone by Amazon, I am unable to confirm if this is the case or not since there are no developer options or ways to get to USB debugging. They are omitted from the settings menu. I guess you get what you pay for buying from Amazon but I will hold out hope that the price and build quality will make this phone popular and some clever dev will find a way to root it so I can flash it with a new build without the limitations.
With regard to the build, it's very nice. All aluminum bezel, beautiful design. Responsive and snappy and a perfect form factor with it's size. I like it so far but I would say that I am looking forward to making it my own...
Thanks again for your response.

I'm wondering if this phone will be rootable? Seems Google is making it harder with Nougat.
