Hi all, Please someone help me to transfer apps to SD on my Milestone XT720. I tried App2Card> But didn't work...
Is your device rooted? If not the first to do it root it, you can learn how to easly do it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887416
When, after root there are a lot of ways to send Apps to SD, I'm using the Link2SD and recomend it, to learn how to do it you just need to follow the steps in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923628
Just some tips:
1: Don't forget to partion your SD card first
2: If you're using XTHoneycomb custom ROM from Kahlpower you don't need to put the ext2.ko files as explained in the thread, it's already there, dunno about others ROMs.
Good Luck
Hi, thanks for your reply.. My XT720 is rooted. I followed as you explained.. After making partition and installing Link2SD I rebooted phone. Phone got struck at Boot logo. I got same problem with App2card.
My XT720 is running on Stock firmware (South East Asia)
Hi all,
I am a noob, first post. I purchased my XOOM (WiFi version) one week ago. I was led to believe it was stock (it is 2 mo. old) and have discovered that it has been rooted and modded. Here is the Device Info:
Android Version 3.2
Kernel Version 2.6.36.4-Tiamat_Xoom-v2.1.0-Tachi-StockGPU-gcef3887
It did not come with an SD card. I purchased one today (16gb). Are there critical files missing that were on the original sd card?! Thanx in advance.
To further clarify; if I wish to factory reset the device, are there files that I will need on the sd card other than a current backup?
the stock xoom didnt come with an sd card. it didnt even support it initally. hitting the restore to default button will not remove your root.

What exactly do you want to do with your Xoom? It is great to already be rooted and that Tachi kernel is a big improvement over stock. Do you just want to clean out the previous owners stuff and make it more yours? Or do you want to go back to a pure stock state?
That is a good question. I guess my main concern is that I am able to mod my device without any problems that the previous owner may have caused by removing critical files on the SD card. I'm a little paranoid as I am just beginning to learn.
I discovered a clockworkmod recovery file "recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.4-stingray.img" in the internal memory. I don't understand what that file is. Is this a stock recovery file?

ClockworkMod recovery is a custom recovery. It is installed when rooting and is a great improvement over the stock recovery because it allows you to make a complete system image so you can experiment with new rom or kernel and always be able to restore to a previous state if you're dissatisfied or if something goes wrong. Also, with the right version you can save files to your external micro sdcard [you purchase it.it does not come with the Xoom] and flash them through your CWM recovery menu. However, version 4.0.0.4, the one you have installed, doesn't recognize the external sdcard. You will need to install version 3.2.0.0 R4c.
Thanks for the info, I will install version 3.2.0.0 R4c. Looks like the previous owner saved me some work.
Before you guys say anything, I've googled it and done everything there is to do. Here's a list:
1) Format and partition your SD Card in FAT32
i) Followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
Didn't Work. I partitioned it with an ext 2. partition. No Success.
2) Followed this guide and NVflashed my tablet. I was able to restore it to factory settings, but it's still not mounting my sdcard.
http://www.tabletroms.com/forums/tr...ment/976-nvflash-unbricking-forever-root.html
3) Went into CWM, tried to format my sdcard, but it said ERROR! Sdcard not found (something along those lines)
4) Tried 3 other different SD Cards
The current version I'm running right now is: PRIME v1.4 (HMJ37.WW_epad-8.4.4.5-20110527
After following the NVflash guide, my tablet is rooted with a flashed ROM, however I think it's a little outdated. What should I do?
Thanks for reading guys!
Are you using a full size SD card or a microSD?
In my experience you have to use a microSD in CWM (and it is called SD)

Thanks for the reply! I've tried both. However, I tried them at the store. I didn't format them to FAT32 I just used them straight out of the package. Not sure if that would make a difference.
Also, my tablet version is currently PRIME! V1.4 and it can't update. I'm a little lost. The build number is 8.4.4.5 and I know there is a higher version. I followed the NVflash guide mentioned in my first post.
Prior to downgrading my tablet version was 8.6.5.21 and it wasn't mounting my SDcard, which is why I downgraded. Now some of the accessory keyboard functions don't work (ie Alt+Tab) and the weather check app isn't working.
Anyway to restore it to stock settings without root?
Edit: Found the answer to my own question. How to reset to stock? Can't post links here so google "Asus Transformer NVFlash Stock 3.1 & Stock 3.2 Recovery Roms" and look for the post by zerofeel. I downloaded the NFVlash of the 3.2 Build of 8.6.5.13 for US.
I would still like help with the microSD card error though! Please and thank you! I'll try formatting the microSD to FAT32
I S-off'd my HTC Sensation using Revolutionary's S-Off & recovery tool. I also installed the Superuser app to give me 'root' although I simply cannot access the phone's internal memory. (only my 8GB SD card is recognized by W764bit).
I've tried everything I can think off, including: uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers, rebooting, enabling USB debugging, factory rest, renaming the ext-SD's drive from H to Z, enabling disk connection type, installing HTC Sync, mounting/demounting,
Bizarrely, when I physically remove the ext SD card Windows 7 displays a drive, although its unaccessable and PC connect goes into charge only mode with 'disk' option not available.
I did have trouble installing Superuser 3.0.7 and had to retry several times, also in the apps menu its icon is a green android appose to a grey andoid with cross bones. Does this mean my phone's not rooted?
I also noticed whilst backing up using the recoverythat it does find the ext SD. I'm in a bit a situation because I used Revolutionary so I could install ICS, and now it's available over OTA I can't install it because of the S-Off.
Would it be easier for me to reurn it to stock and just install over OTA?
I've tried everything I can think of and searched everywhere to resolve this issue so help much appreciated.
Cheers Ian
Internal memory isn't meant to be accessed.
No the green Android is the new icon, you should be rooted. To check download an app like Titanium and see if you can obtain root access.
Is your SD card formatted as an EXT partition?
Easiest way to get ICS from where you are is to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21989107
I assume you've already done SuperCID so backup your stuff and then move onto the part that says update firmware.
Do you mean you can't access the SD card from the phone? Or just from the computer?
If you can view the SD card contents from within the phone just fine, it could be that you formatted the SD card with a file structure that's incompatible with Windows.
Thanks for the reply K0mic... When I said memory I meant storage, or is this the came case?
If Revolutionary S-Off is a bootloader unclocker then use I've SuperCID (sorry complete noob), but yeah I got the beta key.
The SD card is FAT32 ATM which will el[plain why the backup doesn't recognize it What's the best way to format it to EXT? is it using 3rd party software or can it be done with Android?
I went to follow this guide:
w w w .androidauthority.c o m/sensation-install-ics-aokp-rom-63544
when installing ICS and 'step 4' is the problem I have; I simply cannot access the Sensation's Internal SD card :/ Windows only displays the phone's fitted 8GB microSD card :/

I can view the microSD fine with W7, but maybe that's because its Fat32. It's the internal SD card I can't access, or is it because that one has an EXT partition?
Cheers Ian
You cannot access your internal memory (it's not an internal sd card) from windows explorer. You'll need to use adb in order to obtain access to your internal memory through your pc...
android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB
Ahh... that explains why then I take it the internal storage is where the HBoot and ROM resides?
I think I may has misinterpeted what ext SDcard means. (I thought it mean external, i.e. the microSD card you can access/remove. So, when a website's guide tells to to place a ROM's file in the internal SD and not the EXT SD they mean place the file on the FAT32 partion of the same physical micro SDcard that contains both FAT32 and EXT partitions correct?
And the true internal storage is where the ROM (GB/ICS) and Hboot is located along with all of the OS' system files? If this is the case I take it there's no real reason for the average person to want or need to access the device's internal storage unless allowing a tool like Revolutionary to write to it.
I hope I've explained myself enough, so do I have the right understanding now?
Cheers Ian

You can see your SD card in windows 7 (PC) but not the internal memory. If you want to flash something in to your phone's internal memory (hboot, boot, system, recovery etc) through the PC, you can use adb command. Or you can flash the zip file thorough SD card with custom recovery.
If you want to change the android system file on phone, you can use root explore (you can find it on google play) or other apps.

So all I need to do to get ICS on my S-off Sensation is download the relevant ICS ROM to my micro SDcard and run it from recovery?
Also, is recovery not recognizing Ext SD because I've not created the partition yet? If so what is the EXT partition actually used for?
Cheers Ian

If you want to get custum ICS ROM, first, you need a s-off phone, then flash a custom recovery, then flash adequate firmware (hboot, radio) with custom recovery, then flash the custum rom. You can found detail guide and files in sensation Rom develope forum.
The sencond question, I don't know what kind of problems you met. When you enter recovery, you can choose install zip from SD card. Or you met another promblem?
I hope these answer can help you
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA Premium HD app
I think I am kind of get what you problem is, as I read thru the site you give it seem have some mistake at no 4. Because you want see or never have access to internal memory of the phone. Just place the ROM on the SD card. as you see on step 9 you have to “wipe data/ factory reset” the phone. This procedure will definetly remove/delete the rom if you place in internal memory. The Clock Work Recovery also don't have function to install ROM from internal memory. I think maybe some miss typo on the site.
Another things is if you are now on stock Gingerbread not custom ROM you'll be get the FOTA update. Since S-OFF and rooting don't bother the update file, but you have to change to Default or original Recovery because you will get hang on htc white screen after reboot. Maybe the FOTA just not been role up on your country/carrier or unknown reason.
*sorry for my bad english

I am running what I believe stock Gingerbread, but I used Revolutionary Tool to aquire S-off and installed Clock Work Recovery. I installed Superuser for root, although I believe this to be just a normal app and nothing to do with the Hboot process.
I used the Revolutionary tool so I could manually install ICS as at the time it wasn't available OTA, although it became available yesterday, but now I've tinkered around with the Revolutionary tool it won't install, only hanging with the red exclamation mark.
That typo you so rightly pointed out to me cost me a lot of time wasting. I spend hours trying to resolve what I thought was an issue Muppets who wrote those instructions!
How can I install ICS OTA now? Either way I can't install atm as things are.
Cheers Ian
Always check the software update on settings.
If you can find a link to download the compatible FOTA file or RUU you may go with it. But remember to install Stock Recovery before OTA I use this guide to get back to Stock Recovery it may help you to. [GUIDE] Get Stock Recovery/Install OTA Updates without losing data.
Other's option is install custom ROM go to Sensation Android Development, there are many great custom ROM you may find one that suite you. Just follow the instruction carefully.
If you want something similar to OTA you may want to try this [ROM] HTC Sensation *STOCK* ROMs | 3.32.401.x | Ice Cream Sandwich | HTC Sense 3.6 but I recommended [ROM] Android Revolution HD 6.6.0 | ICS | High Quality & Performance | 3.32.401.105 for many support and guide.

Top man I found a link on how to remove Revolutionary and return the phone to stock although I don't see the point if I can install tweaked ROMs like that I take it I can install the ROMs with S-off and rooted?
You can install OTA updates, or custom ROMs with s-off and root. The catch is that you'll need to change between recoveries to do so...
OTA updates = stock recovery
Custom ROMs = CWM or EXT4 recoveries
Follow the link provided two posts up, or let me know if you want a PG58IMG.zip I made for the stock recovery. I made another for CWM touch but I won't share warez.
Also, if you're going to flash a custom ICS rom you'll need to update your firmware first to one of the 3.32 releases...
I just picked up a Galaxy S3 last week from Verizon.
I would like to root the phone but I am unsure of which guide to use.
The phone had 4.1.1 installed when I received it so I did not have any OTA updates.
Yesterday I tried using this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2046439, and made it to Step 4 and could not find the zip file I loaded on the SD card.
I am using the following files from this guide:
For Both Root and Unlocked Bootloader ***RECOMMENDED*** - Download SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader to your SD Card - Link
For TWRP Recovery 2.3.3.0 (Download this to your computer) - Link
Each time that I clicked Use external memory card it would switch back to Use internal memory card.
When looking at the phone I could see that it recognized the SD card.
Maybe I am using the wrong guide to root the phone?
If so could someone share or point me to the correct link?
Thanks.

Your sd card has to be formatted to Fat32 for recovery to see it. Either reformat card or put files on internal card.
I had read that somewhere but was not sure if I needed to format it or not.
Is the guide I am using ok?

This is the method I used without issue:

That guide is fine once you are on 4.1.1. Actually should work on whatever you are on since you are already unlocked. Skip all the bootchain stuff and just install recovery and SuperSU.
