a moderator has to move it.
and there are several ways to make a swap partition.
Amon_Ra recovery (link in my sig or better yet SEARCH) and it'll do everything for you.
make sure to backup the contents of your sdcard first.

wow even i know the rules sorry no answer for you just waiting for a mod to lock this thread bye bye now

Read buddy plz dont go around just asking questions. At the level your at 99% of what you have to ask is already answered.
Sorry if u didnt get my questions right.
It´s maybe because of my english.
I know how to flash a rom.
the only problem is, that this rom needs to be on the sd-card.
But i dont have access to my sd-card.
So i gotta find a way to get access to my card anyhow. I maybe need an adapter for my pc to copy a rom on the sd-card.
But thx, for your quick reply.

Does Windows pick up your phone as a device?
You may be able to get to the SD card from there - or failing that maybe you can reinstall the RUU file?
Hi,
no it dont get it as device. But i just called a friend, he will bring his phone and we try it this way.
thx

Good luck - hope you get sorted
I finally brought it back to work.
I managed to copy a ROM on my sd-card with another phone.
Thx

You could also remove your memory card, put it in an adapter and attach it direct to your PC then put the rom on the SD card that way. The in recovery you should be able to install from the SD card...this assumes of course that recovery can see the SD card. If not, bigger problems lol

It is all in how you have it formatted. Did you follow lfaber06's instructions in the safestrap post about how to format and partition your card? I would guess right off that if you only have a 2GB card, it is not big enough to do what you need.
k. i will get a larger card and give it a shot.
thank you!

There are some issues with safestrap right now, and lfaber06 and I are looking into it. You should go have a read of the posts going on in there right now.
Just post back in here a couple more times, and it will allow you to post over in the thread about safestrap, because this is technically a double post, and the mods might take it down. Just post a reply to me with anything in it, I will reply back to you then you reply one more time, then you should be able to post in the proper thread, we would like to keep all the issues over in that thread.

Now try and post the issue with /emmc over in the right post. If you can't come back in here, and we can post back and forth a few times until it lets you post over there. I think it is 10 times, to be able to post in the dev forum, but I have heard others that have even 11 posts have had issues so give it a try.

[SOLVED] Rooted, Flashed, Broke.... PLEASE HELP='(

Alright, so I rooted my phone the other day and then got it backed up using titanium backup. I put the backup on my laptop also to be safe. Well, something happened. I am not that familiar with Roms and everything. Well, I got the Darky's Rom 9.5 and then put it on my phones sd card. I started the phone up in the cmw (i think thats what its called) and then deleted the cache and data and stuff like that then I selected the install zip from sd card. Well, I did that and then my phone started to reboot. It kept getting to the Galaxy S 4G and then goes black for a second then re appears. Well, I cant seem to do anything. I can put it in download mode and I can go back to the cmw mode and everything. Well, I have the titanium backup so I just want to restart my whole phone and then re-root it again and then re install all my apps using the titanium backup. I am pretty nooby at all this stuff on phones. Please help me. I can still put stuff on my phones sd card and then I can go to install zip from sd card. If there is a way, please let me go back to the "out-of-the-box" settings. I think I need the default ROM for this. Anyways, thank you. I really need this to work. I hope I didnt break my phone! ='(
Also, this is my first thread thing like ever in my life, so yeah, dont get angry at me if I did something wrong
I would really appreciate it if someone could walk me through how to fix it. I will be on here waiting for replies, so we can have a conversation if you do not mind. Please help me, I cannot lose this phone.
Did you do an nandroid backup???

You are safe... you say that you can get the phone into download mode, right?
I can get it into download mode. That is why I am not freaking out as bad right now lol But yeah, what do i do? I need to download stuff and use kies and stuff again right? Thank you so much for replying too! I am so happy right now! lol But yeah, I can do pretty much everything except start the phone and get past the samsung galaxy s screen.
I could not do that nandroid backing (that was with the rom manager right?). Whenever i opened rom mananger and tried to back up the files, it never actually backed them up. It kept going to the one cwm and said error. So, I just did the titanium one and made sure to have it on my computer and my phone. Thanks for replying too! it means a lot
I would advise you to follow this thread if you have the GB bootloaders...
or this thread if you don't...
Once you have GB, you'll be able to re-flash with other GB ROMs...

Alright, I am not sure if I have the GB bootloaders. I am currently downloading the fully back to stock thing and am going to follow the directions. I have all my apks and data from before it broke, will I be able to put my titanium backup folder into my sd card and then backup the data? Or should my backup still be on my sd card. Yeah anyways, is it safe to do that? will all the files be one it correctly? Im just worried. But anyways, thank you so much. I was trying to read other forums but I couldn't figure it out. And I learned something, do not try to flash things when you do not know what you are doing lol.
I read somewhere that rom manager does not work for my phone; is that true? Do I even need Rom manager to flash my phone? sorry for all the questions, it is just so hard to find all these online haha Thank you very much again

Before getting into this tight spot... what had you done to your phone (re: modding)?
It sounds like nothing... which means it was a stock. Don't be confused by the judicious use of the word "stock" in these forums (I speak from experience here)...
Many of the "stock" ROMs which you will see are actually modified-stock ROMS. Some even say SMS-... indicating "Subtly-modified-stock"...
If your phone has the original ROM, then it is not GB. In that case, you'll need to use the second link... if you have a Windows machine. If your machine is not Windows, then that link will not help you because it uses ODIN which is a Windows-only tool.

No, if you look at the Wiki (link in my signature), you will find that there are 3 ways (excluding ROM Mangler) to flash ROMs to your phone.

I got stuck almost where you are at... about 1 week ago exactly... I can relate to being worried. But, that's the good news... you need not worry, since you can get into D/L mode... A Senior Member helped me. And this is what xda-dev is about. Users helping Users...
Thank you so much! I am actually working on my phone and everything now! Ok, I noticed that it is no longer rooted. I am going to re-root it the same way I did and try to use my titanium backup folder to backup my apps and data. I have the paid titanium app too so thats good. And yeah, thats about everything =] Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I love the quick response and everything. Thank you very much.
And one more thing, I am not sure if you have this phone, but what is your favorite (or The best) ROM for this phone? I want to flash it this time properly and with a good ROM. Thank you again

If you have to use the 2nd thread (the GB Ext4 Starter Pack), you will be formatting your SDCARD. So, no, the backup will not be on your card. We need to get those onto your computer somehow (if you haven't already backed up SDCARD onto your computer).
I used the first one. So I still have everything. I think it will all work out perfect=] Thank you

I do have this phone... it's my favorite... (until May, when I get the S II)...
As for ROMs, my advice to you is to install the Valhalla-Final. My advice is based on the fact that this is the only final GB ROM that I am aware of. I have recently installed this and I have nothing bad to say about it.
On the other hand, if you like bleeding edge, then keep your eye on Valhalla Black Edition. I played with it over the weekend and, although still a work in progress, I have high expectations of it.
Not to be narrow-minded, I have heard good things about the one which you were originally setting out to install... I may look at it myself!

Kernal Flashing App

I don't have my One S anymore but when I did I came across and app in one of the threads that would find the kernal in the zip file and then flash it and then allow you to boot into recovery to flash the zip file?
I have looked but can't find it, and any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
I know how to search but it is very difficult to use that option when you have no idea what it was called. All I could remember was, i came across it in the middle of an existing thread about something else.
And for the record, I didn't read through every thread looking for it but I looked in the developmental thread for a couple pages and didn't recognize it, I looked through the general for a couple of pages and never recognized it either.
I didn't look in the themes and apps as I never thought to, my doh moment, my apologies.
Again, thanks Sherlock for the help, but the attitude wasn't requested.

Help me to get back my tablet.

Hi, I have got a tablet called General Mobile E-Tab 4.
I bricked it with installing a rom on itself. It was a mistake but I was too lazy to do it with my pc. So, when I open it, it stays on animation. When I reach to recovery mode, there are three options: reset, format data, format cache
How can I install the ROM now? Please help me.

I'll assume you're talking about the tablet, not the forum. It's not the forum's fault that you bought some hunk of garbage then bricked it because you were too lazy to do something correctly.
