Hi all.
I know there are other posts which do in a way explain this however they are not so simple for a newb like me to read.
Here is where I have managed to get to with rooting my Desire S, S-On.
Temp root achieved with Gingerbreak 1.2 apk. Managed once to get the SD card to stay mounted however Rom Manager refused to download, so I downloaded the APK and emailed it to my self which installed.
Then the SD Card disappeared, I have tried taking that SD card out and putting a new one in (still wont mount).
During this time I have Superuser, however I cant mount the SD Card.
Once I restart Superuser goes.
Maybe myself and everyone one else will have to wait until a software version comes out, something like ODIN?
No XTC things close to me
My question is, is there a way to mount my SD card via the computer? and if so how.
I guess you have to wait.
The only working way currently is with XTC Clip.
That worked for me.
Ok seeing as the title states newb questions, I have one - what are the benefits of Superuser?

Allows root access to the phone, meaning you can install custom roms, mess with the cpu speed etc.
Thats my understanding anyway..
Thanks lucca - I thought that. I can see lots of messing around ahead!
can we achieve temp root on s-on ? as i would like to restore apps from my backup root
the question is if you must the SD to root the phone?.. it cant be done using the internal memory right?
Maybe you can try plugging the cable to a computer and taking it out... maybe it will block it(like it always do when you plug) and then unlock it...
I never even tried this stuff so i cant really help, but good luck with it!
does anyone know how to achieve temp root? with this gingerbreak can i use it to do this if so can someone [post an apk of which they used and it worked for them
gingerbreak 1.2 from chainfire is working

Hi.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648102&page=3
As I understand by reading elegos response in that thread ^^ I can make an image of my sd card and then another person could make it a goldcard and i could load it back to the sd card.. Is that correct?
If yes, Would any of you do that for me?
The reason i can't make one my self is my HTC Desire won't read any sd cards
Thanks in advance
w8... I wonder why you would need a goldcard, if your phone won't read it anyway? :/
look in the htc desire thread for usb brick
it means that your computer wont recognise your device when its connected and that your device wont read your sdcard
and as Puenos said, if it cant read sdcards then it wont read a goldcard
For real?
Damn..
I though not having a goldcard was the reason why it would not read.
Then i'm totaly ****ed I think (will just check were you suggested)
It is stuck in a state between rooted and not rooted, and then i though i needed a goldcard to completely root it...
I sometimes get this error dev/block "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
If you know any thing about that please help...
EDIT..
According to the "usb brick guide" I still need a goldcard... One of my friends have another android phone.. Can plug my sd card in his phone and then use the goldcard helper from android market to get the CID? Will that work on my phone?
Got it working
I finally got it working
Googled "USB brick" and found exactly what i needed.
Thank you very much
Btw. No gold card was needed

What is a "GS"?
If the "GS" is Android, you can try this way:
Settings | Applications | Manage applications | Downloaded | Move to SD Card

You can't do many with internal storage unless you root your phone. What i know about internal storage is cannot be partitioned.

How to install apps on SD
I did it many time and I think that to fully install apps on SD you need to know its steps:
1. Root phone.
2. Partition your SD card
3. Install app that help move all data app on SD, such as Link2SD, S2E, ...
all that stuff u can find on Google or just in xda forum. they talk 'bout that every day
But I think maybe U did it all but still got unsuccessful. I think 2GB internal storage is big enough to install app and U don't need to try anymore. Just choose what app to keep and what not to keep for your phone. GS III is a smart expensive phone, Is your matter deserve to try? I just have 180MB internal storage (Mini) and do a lot of stuff just to get more 500MB, but I lost 1 SD-Card dear
if you have a locked phone(not rooted) its up to every applications security settings if you can move it to sd or not.
This setting is deprecated on Google Play and new apps will have licensing service , but for now its up to developer choice.
thx all, i have find, i cgange a file sytem vlag if i think and work.
My sd card isnt detected
I was flashed and running with s-off. I was using 4K atom azul for the evo 4g. I wanted to be able to use my FFC but i couldnt figure it out with that rom. and then i decided to upgraded to the one that look like black beans but is made by team dirt. hated the fact i couldnt use my camera so i reverted back. after reverting back i got the 5 vibrations thing and black screen. Now i have my s-on and did the ruu. after several failed attempts my phone suddenly booted back to the 4k atom azul. i was stoked that i knew how to get it back but now i have no way of using the wifi or bluetooth, and plus my sd card is not found by any program says i have it mounted and when i go to settings to unmount it says to insert a sdcard. i have my 32 gb sd card in there. I dont know why my phone is no longer rooted. and i am scared to pull the battery out and try anything because of the simple fact i might not have a phone for another couple days and i about drove myself crazy not having a phone.
a little info:
I had s-off and idk what else... other than using amon ra for recovery image and formatting and reset factory data before installing another rom. it became an addiction to get another rom every week. and now i am stuck in the situation described above.
I have been doing the reboot over and over the past couple days before i got the 5 vibrations fixed back to normal, that the information below is what i remember from trying to recover...

This above might not be exactly right.
I used a PC36IMG.zip file that i had after reformatting my sd card. it would not run the PC36IMG.zip file that i put on the root and recover my system so i had to do the ruu thing...
It would read something like this below...
Loading...[PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PC36IMG.zip]
and it would successfully read the PC36IMG.zip but would not restore and a little scroll bar as it read the file would come up... i used fastboot usb and miraculously i have my 4K atom that i tried to reflash on my evo before it messed up.
I know that i still have s-on but it puzzles me how i have the s-on and running a rooted rom. my hotspot works and so does the GPS and navigation, i just can not connect to my wifi, or boot back into recovery without getting the black screen and 5 vibes of diagnostic so i am kinda stuck. My phone will send text and call out and let me download apps for what little internal memory i have on it; I hate i dont have an sd card to save pictures too, or and sd card to put music on to play in the car...
Thank everyone for your time, I just joined today but I have been a flashing freak for the last year or so once i figured out how to do it. I used unrevoked as my flashing software. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Usually my phone gives me the option to move recently downloaded or updated apps to the sd card...
Im posting this here because there is no section for pantech burst. Not sure why. There isnt even a pantech section at all lol. Anyway i rooted it and for some reason when i try to move stuff to sd using link2sd i get a message saying insufficient_storage. but i have a 2gb sd in that has nothing on it. i tried 2 different sd cards in case maybe something was up with the card. Titanium gives an ok but then doesnt hold. In other words it says move was successful click ok. But then you click out and go back and the move was never done. Anyone know what could be up?
Idea!

Why don't you try a factory reset (if you are able to). Rooting your device could have caused the problem.
If this still doesn't work, you have voided your warranty because you rooted your device. Go and get it repaired (last resort)
um you cant move apps to sd unless you root. Well besides apps that let you of course. Ive never heard of rooting causing this issue. I can still move apps that let you normally. I just cant move anything you should be able to after root when using link2sd app and titanium backup. those 2 apps arent moving apps for some reason which is my issue. And they should be moving the apps ive tried because i have rooted 3 other phones and never ran into this issue even trying to move these same ones on other phones using the same ways of link2sd and or titanium. I bought the phone second hand so im not worried about warranty anyway.
The problem is as I stated on the title.
I don' remember everything about my phone because this started happening (or I'm just realising this) about 4 months or something after I rooted it. I rooted my phone with magisk and I'm 100% sure I used a guide here, which was very helpful. I have space on both my sd and phone. And by apps on sd, I mean the way you carry the app to sd without any root abilities, you know the phone says there is no space carry it blah blah. However, when I use link2sd and link all of it except the prior part, it can still update. I'm not using any custom rom, and don't really have another problem aside from this.
I appreciate all the help.
WELL THIS WEBSITE IS ****ING USELESS THANKS FOR NOTHING
Minor update I'm no longer really needing a solution to this problem although it would be very helpful for everyone if one was found as I'm sure this has been a problem too many people at this point)
I'm over here trying to root my S6 Lite tablet without a computer just a bloody cell phone and I am oh so close but I have no way of reformatting this SD card cuz xxxxx Android wants to put it as FAT32 for god knows what reason it's an 8 gig SD card and I've even tried reformatting it in both devices I have same result Android just being stupid and I am at the end of my rope here cuz I have not been able to find any apps once so ever that actually allow me to reformat an SD card with a format of my choosing or at least one that's usable
Now please tell me that someone on this xxxxx website has a solution to this problem because once again the weird stuff I'm doing has led me down a path no one else has seemingly took
(And if anyone's asking why I'm rooting this tablet it's because Android 12 works like crap)
Mod Edit: Some content removed.
I am kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place as I have not been able to figure out any method of formatting this SD card with something usable because Android is for some unknown reason only formatting it with FAT32 despite using two different devices to attempt to format it normally and I have not been able to find a single application that exists that does not require root permissions that would allow me to change the format of the SD card I have legitimately spent like three or four hours now trying to figure something out and have come up with nothing please someone here help
I'm just going to add this year that I obviously don't have access to a computer or this wouldn't be a problem
Root your phone and use twrp to change filesystem.
But in your case when you don't want to root. Unplug SD card and connect with adapter to your pc.
Go to this computer and right click on the SD card
Click format And select filesystem
Quick format is fine
Format and when finished
Put SD card back.
Done

Both of those are a problem because I don't have a computer to use and I am trying to root my tablet and the only other device I have is an a20 cell phone that's not rooted either and I am so close but I can't Flash the modded firmware because Android is formatting the SD card with xxxx FAT32 so besides this SD card the only other option I have is to attempt to do the flash over wireless ADB I mean seriously if I had a bloody computer I would have been done like 3 days ago

That's a scam app that I kept running into if I recall it didn't even boot although it's hard to tell cuz I tried a couple that look pretty much identical to that so once again something that's completely useless I came here cuz I was hoping somebody would have an actual solution not the same garbage I kept running into trying to Google my way through this
it's an actual solution youre just being silly.

It's not or I would have found it by now I've tried everything you can find easily on Google and the Play Store absolutely nothing has worked or been anywhere near what I'm looking for besides a couple of apps that require root permissions I was coming here hoping that somebody would have an actual tool for this application not someone giving me the same
trash that google did, now I do appreciate you attempting to help but I need somebody here that is a lot more knowledgeable than you

Normally a person would update the result and from there we look for another solution. Goodluck finding someone knowledgeable lol, if you weren't such a special one I would have suggested something more advanced
