zip wont work after i connect to a pc with "usb mass storage"
i downloaded your zip on a win7 pc. flashed it and it was working fine, very fine. thanks dude :good: phone memory became 16GB and sdcard became 1.5GB
But when i was going to copy some files onto my phone, i used a xp pc and it was recommended to switch to 'usb mass storage' and so i did. after i copied the files and removed my phone from the pc, i checked the system settings and phone memory got back to 1.5GB and sdcard to 16GB. i tried restoring backups and flashing the zip several times and eventually resorted to factory data reset. theres no use flashing the zip cause it wont make a change anymore. is there a way to fix it? thanks in advance

[Q] [Help a new owner!] Incoming massive request for help.

First off let me thank everyone who is going to help me through my issue.
Everything started yesterday when I got a16 gigabytes new SD Micro card. I originally got the card so I can move my applications from the internal 16 gigabytes storage to that SD Micro card . After searching through the web I have realized that I cannot move my applications to the external memory until I root my device and so I did it using a guide from this website. after rooting my device I downloaded every application in play store that is used to move applications from the internal memory to the external one.And for some reason all of them failed'Someof them said that there is no enough memory. and some others said I have no External memory inserted "already checked in settings and it says external memory 14.98 Gb free. After that i read another guide which Said I should get Rom manager to partition my memory card.and I did download the Rom manager . I tried to partition but it said I don't have CWM , and it asked ifit should install it so I accepted. mydevice wasn't listed. I chose a random one and now I'm afraid I have broken my 3 days old note 10.1 . Could anyone help me please with
1. The Sd micro card issue(apps From internal memory't external memory.)
2. The random CWM device that I have downloaded and maybe installed.
3. Partitioning my card (if that's going to help.)
4. I'm new to android and have no idea what rooting is "although I did it anyways" and how I Can use rooting
Rooted note 10.1
Thank you again <3
Edit 1- 8 views no help? Id really appreciate it if anyone could help me.

I think some sort of reply will help you get started...
Note 10.1 only supports FAT 32. not NTFS. So you have to format your SDcard properly to begin with. I believe its true, you need to root your device to get AppOnSD support.
NEVER flash anything that is not intended SPECIFIC for your device. Always do a backup so you can restore it from an image if you happen to soft brick it.
Rooting pretty much allows you to get "super user" functionality. Most notably the ability to access system files.

I'll try to help with fixing your Note.
Can you get into download mode? Start with power off and press volume down and power at the same time.
If so download Check Fus (GGI version) from fus.nanzen.se and make you have Odin and the Samsung drivers as described in the how to root thread.
Check the back of your Note for version number; N8000, N8010 or N8013. Use Check Fus to download the correct rom for your country. If not the nearest one.
Follow the how to root guide (sticky in development) that explains how to install the rom. This should put you back where you started. Now, read a lot. Don't use Rom Manager.
http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-10-1-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-10-1/ How to root instructions. Your replacing the rom from the instructions with the one you downloaded from Check Fus.

I said I think I broke my note because I downloaded and installed a random cmw from Rom manager when I tried partition my sd card .
And I have a problem moving apps to the sd card. In app2sd it says it's emulated andin droids it says memory is full.

Then I'll back out. I've no experience of apps2sd on the Note. Have had no cause to use it. I strongly suggest you read a lot more before you attempt anything else involving door, partitions or CWM.

[Q] Help please

OK here is my dilemma I have tried every method for transferring apps to SD and none of them work. I have tried partitioning SD w/Odin and cwm
'I have tried directory bind but when I get to the point to select file I can't find it in directory bind - I have tried the titanium backup method in there help section,tried the ROM manager, tried link to SD and apps of that such,I tried flashing a mod that was sup post to trick my tab into thinking my extsd was my intsd e folder manager and script manager,I have been sorting thru hundreds of forums for about 2 weeks now with no success even following directions to a t or I get to a point they r and its different on mine than theirs. I have even tried 3 different ROMs. I'm kind of a noob at this so I must be doing something wrong. I don't know where else to turn for insufficient storage space andapps to SD fix lucky patch works but only for a short time. I have a galaxy tab 2 7.0 3113 w/32gb micro SD and am running chili mango ROM. Please help thank you in advance.

[Q] Samsung galaxy tab 2 moving apps to sd card

I have the galaxy 2 7.0 tab. im trying to find a way to move apps sd card. I have no idea what rooting is so I would like to avoid that if at all possible. The problem that I also have is that when I go to "my files" in the apps on the tab itself my apps are not being shown in the internal memory (was going to cut and paste apps to sd). Ive searched in the downloads nothing and every where else also. There is a section however that shows all the apps individually as downloaded but they are located on a separate page in the apps section (the do not show in internal). I am not the brightest at technical issues but im also not the dumbest. With that said any step by step help will be greatly appreciated.

But also there are apps for that on stock like foldermount and directorybind
But they require root
Plz dont use any apps except the above especially app2sd as it will doom ur device
In short must root
Press thnks button

[Q] Someone, Anyone...please, help!

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it if so. I have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail 2 that I would like to swap memory with (internal to external) so that there is more room on my phone for apps. I have tried a few programs from the play store, and so far I'm having no success. My phone is rooted, and has SU access. It's running android 4.1.2 (ICS?) and the model number is SPH-M840. ANY help on this matter would be GREATLY appreciated.This has been driving me crazy, and there has to be a way to do this with my phone...right? Thank you!

Like2SD was the first program I tried. When I go to move an app to the SD card, it tells me:
"app2sd is not supported by your device. Because your device has a primary external storage which is emulated from the internal storage."
I can link the files if I want, but doing that doesn't do much on saving space. Thanks!

Hi,
just give one more shot...
repartition your sd card....
first check your kernal support swapping or not with swapper script....
if doesn't support, search for a kernal for your device which support swapping & follow the procedure... it must work...
-rkk

Assuming you have root, search the store for "FolderMount [ROOT]".

Don't worry, I'm not giving up so easily...there HAS to be a way to do this with my phone. Maybe I should try using a different partition, like ext4 or ext3? I know ext2 is the one that is said to work the most, but it's obviously not working. Do you the partitions have to be set as "active" for this to work? Where can I find the kernal script? Thanks for the help!

What's strange about using that method, is when I swap, my memory card changes to 1.96 GB (which is what the internal normally is) but the internal stays at 1.96 GB. So than I have both of my memory, internal and external at 1.96 GB and I have to to uninstall the program and reset my phone for the external to go back to 7.96 GB which is the size of the card I have. It's a scandisk card...do you think that makes a difference?
