Hello...thanks for reading this in advance, so lets cut through to the prob, i installed the Adroid rom by Aashish-kkhckr for my galaxy ace duos gt-s6802 , the rom is good but there is only one prob ! i can't get to install arabic language support on it, letters are from left to right (supposed to be viceversa) and also: in arabic those letters are supposed to be connected yet they are divided ..
so i looked it up as much as i could and got to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28189219
but there is a prob, it never mentions how to put those three files manually into the system, as it is shown int he thread there is a step where i copy the files in folder OUTPUT into my system replacing the original ones, yet i tried it manually via root explorer and got a boot loop !!
other threads and forums said that there are certain steps to do that is through the adb samsung-whatever.. i tried it but never could install and work with the program unfortunately ! this is such a torment now and if ur wondering if i tried flashing the framework.zip file ; yes i did ! and it gave me an error.
help would be much much appreciated. thanks agn

Hi I know the big storage hack is plastered all over this forum but i still cant get it right.Some one please help me!
Ive got a magician with rom version 1.13.00 WWE radio v. 1.12.00 (i used to have 1.12.00 but i upgraded it by accident.<I woz finkin of it anyway>)
I fink Ive tried every procedure possible but always have problems but basically this is what ive done:
1.Using OS image tool ive copied my rom to pc.
2.Ive changed the 80 00 00 thingy to b8 01.
3.Ive tried to use the os image tool to write it back t ppc but it comes with a usb/communication error in programme A.Im using this way because I have only 32mb mmc card.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks
wiki
Try the wiki (top right link on the page) & go to the magician section. It contains a description howto patch a shipped-rom, the one you used to upgrade to 1.13WWE, & get BS. Apperently you missed this method.
Cheers, M
I already have all of them files.Wen I patch it the size goes right up then 'programme a' doesnt copy it over becuase its too big.it has 2 b excactly 32 i fink and after i patch it the size changes.
My main problem is getting the rom over 2 the magician.Since I dont have a card the only 2 ways i can fink are using osimage tool or program a, both of these im having problems with.I have roms that i have patched and changed the 416 bytes to my roms.I have roms that were patched and ive changed to my roms.I have roms made using byte copy.I just cant get any of them over!!
Thanks 4 ure help,
Gareth

Stop,
You're going in the wrong direction. The BS from shipped-rom method is about patching the provider supplied exe file. & after the patch you run it like a regular rom-upgrade. No SD or MMC involved!!! It's a rom-update via USB like the normal update.
pls read it once again @ the wiki.
ok thanks im trying that now.Im stuck on getting nbfdec to run.Ive extracted it to the unzipped rom folder.I open ms-dos command prompt and drag and drop the .exe on the command line to save typing the path.The program runs but then it crashes.Can anyone help me?
Try putting everything in "C:\BS" saves a lot of typing errors including filename handling.
Ive done that now but I dont know how to execute the command.Do you think you could type the whole command for me?When I open command prompt it says this c:\documents and settings\rod simpson\> ive tryped typing in that command but i dont know how to put it in with the path etc.
Sorry for going on and on I cant get my head round it!
Thanks

Hi Rod,
To go to C:\BS from your personal doc&settings type on the commandline:
cd \ [Enter]
now you should be in C:\
then type:
cd bs [Enter]
now you should be in C:\BS
Works for other directories too.
Cheers, M
Thanks, that helped me a lot.Ive done everything els now so I converted it back to nbf and then executed the maupgrade_noid.It checked device info then displayed the rom to and from screen and both were blank.I proceeded and it displayed the 'success' screen but nothing had actually happened on the ppc.Ive tried the other upgrade program and the one thats cracked on the site.
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks
Did you reset after the update process finished? & if so did it boot normally? & if so did you look at the internal storage folder size? Cause that's the only thing that's changed & the ext-rom has disappeared. Oh & you shouldn't see the customization start after a hard-reset...
btw rom to & from shouldn't be blank, pls run the update program without patch cause I think the editing somehow invalidated the shipped-rom. The original upgrade program should work & if so you know what's going on. If the original program fails there might be something with your device.
So start the plain shipped-rom first to find out..
Thankyou!Its worked!!
I went from scratch and downloaded all the files again.This time i didnt put my own header in the file because i thought thats where i'm going wrong.My devicedata.txt file looked like gibberish to me and it wouldnt copy and paste in to hex editor.So i just left it.I changed the 2 values in the code, converted it and flashed it.Will not having my header cause problems?My storage is now 26.72mb is that right?
Thankyou very much oltp for your help.It's much appreciated.
I think this site is long overdue a donation from me.

The header contains info about romtype & provider name, probably some things more I'm
not sure about. The reason for changing it is to avoid errors like the country id error. With the use of maupgradeut_noid it's less important.
One thing I'm questioning is the reason why some of us have probs with connecting to the, I believe, special O2 services. Some claim there not able to connect anymore... Can some other setting as well. I'm on T-Mobile & everything works fine.
Basically if the upgrade was succesfull, you have an enlarged storage & the rest of your device will be working as before.
Cheers, M
how much space would i have in my main memory now? i have a 64+64 system (O2 Xda Mini) now branded to T-Mobile 1.33 and now applied the new patch (BIG STORAGE) using the Wiki Information guides. However any idea how much FREE space on first reboot i should have.
did the first reboot...(soft reboot) after flash...its been 3 mins and just the T-Mobile Screen..how lng should i wait before i "think" its a bad flash?
nevermind got it
Total Main Memory - (FREE MEMORY) - 43.99MB Storage / 25.54 MB Programs! woo hoo this is HOT

First boot takes much more time than next boots.
Have fun, M
all,
look over here.
cheers!
Sorry to say, but it's old news. We got a thread about it for three months now I guess with that method. Problem is you always need to update first & then dump your rom again. & somehow not all dumps are accurate. The brick change with a SD is larger than with a shipped-rom.

Hi !

I have an ASUS P320.
During flashing a Windows 6.5 ROM, it went bad and now I am not able to boot the phone or do anything.
I have tried 2-3 ROMs to re-flash by putting them in my SD card, but every time it says "Read SD busy !"
I also tried to re-flash it using original 4.10 ROM from official ASUS website but here is where I get stuck up:
BTLR 3.1
Init SD Control
IPL: Insert SD Card
Start SD Init
Get MBR success
start find images
can't find galaxymini-ond.raw !
find 850_GAX_SD.bin !
can't find FLASH.BIN !
can't find GSM.BIN !
can't find EXT_ROM.NB0 !
valid package percentage: 100
Read SD busy !
No GSMFFS
Total 3 images in package
FLASH.BIN in package !
GSM.BIN in package !
EXT_ROM.NB0 in package !
after all these msgs I waited for too long, but nothing happens. I repeated this many times, but it stucks after this and I am not able to write any new ROM anyhow on my phone.
I am really really in big trouble as this is my only phone and I am really depressed. Plz can anyone just help me with how to proceed to write a new or any old ROM on my phone? I will be really thankful
Seriously noone has any clue or willing to help?

Thanks so much for the reply.
But how to use this tool? I am confused?
I kept the 850_GAX_SD_Enc ROM in the same folder as this tool and then run Split P320 ROM.exe
But P320binDEC.exe shows application error. I am running this under Windows XP. Please help me.
Ok I installed .Net Framework 2.0 and everything worked and the files were extracted.
Then I had put all files in root of SD card.
It shows:
BTLR 3.1
Init SD Control
IPL: Insert SD Card
Start SD Init
Get MBR success
start find images
can't find galaxymini-ond.raw !
find 850_GAX_SD.bin !

and it stops again. Nothing happens :| What should I do?

I had the prob same as u.
What I did was installed 4.15 WWE than tried to upgrade to WM6.5 from 4.10ZHH WM6.1, and the errors came out.
I even had the paragraph saying
"This concludes the beta test of this
software release. Thank you very much for
your time and effort in helping make this a
great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or futher
information,please revisit the web site that
you used to obtain your current beta
release."--------then it got stuck and the only buttons that worked were the volume and reset buttons. And I thought its done that all I could do was to sell it.
But then I split the 850_GAX_SD_Enc.bin(which was from a different language 4.15 zip,referring above), the following came up:
850_gax_sd.bin
GSM.BIN
FLASH.BIN
EXT_ROM.NB0
and others, but I only copy these 4 into SD card cause they were the things that stated "can'"t find"' and I couldnt find galaxymini-ond and GSM.RAM.....and yes I did put 850_gax_sd.bin in instead of the capital one(accidentally!!!cus i thought they were the same, but apparently not...ANYWAY I DID!)
then i inserted the card, flash reset(volume down + reset) it,
it took quite a while to install(abt 10-15 mins)
like u said a pure white screen occurred and it frozen.
then I press the switch on button on top and restart the device...
the old version came up again with 4.15ZHH and WM 6.1 (green) and everything got back to default just like the very first day I bought it.
this is all i did, i think the different between us was that i used a different language of 4.15 and the 850_gax_sd.bin..... not very sure on yours but it worked on mine somehow... I'm not an expert on computer and programmes stuff, and i really cant tell if errors are still left in the device after what i did, so beware of this prob if you follow.
Hello folks, i have Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H and i have rooted my phone and installed the CWM recovery, which i think has done good.
Even the phone after being rooted hasn't done me any good.
I had initially started a topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/help/copy-to-ssd-samsung-galaxy-core-2-sm-t3033178
But the OP hasn't been able to give me some working solutions.
So i am asking to anyone who knows about this stuff. I have rooted and installed CWM recovery, that still given me authority
over my SD-Card, i cannot copy/paste/delete/rename basically access it fully.
The only way i can do is, remove the SD-Card and insert in a Card reader and copy/paste/delete etc.
But i cannot directly do from phone itself.
I already have fX Explorer, Solid explorer and ES File Explorer.
Nothing has worked, so i am asking can anyone show me how to do that.
I would be grateful for your suggestion.
Awaiting reply.

Have you flashed new firmware ?
New kernels (boot.img) have default ro acess to sdcard !
Please state your infos :
Model
Modem
Core build ...
The workaround I provide for this type won't work after update !!!
You will have to flash previous boot or recompile the new boot

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59071633&postcount=11
The FS /system and other too is/are readonly (ro) in device, so if u want to delete or copy inside this partition u must change it to rw (readwrite), it's better for you to use some Explorer root based application like FX Explorer with root addon ...
If u have copied the update zip to extSdCard and run the update procedure in stock recovery U should be able to copy/edit/delete files on your extSdCard - Card if the install were sucessfull.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

I have already installed at least a dozen of explorer, most promising was fx explorer with it free root access add-on, the other was ES File
explorer. They both can't copy/paste files to Memory card.
My device is Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H, Android 4.4.2. I have already rooted and installed CWR mode, but i havn't flashed my firmware.
I am searching now for a possible firmware update, that could access memory card.
Could you do a small part from your side and find a firmware that can be flashed in my device, i will try from my side. :good:
Will update , if i find some solution.

The users in this forum don't know how to read posts. U'r among them too. Sorry for my statement, but it's true.
It's not only the explorers,apps or managers that can copy files from/to. The KitKat have a fix for KitKat SDCard ro access.
For a check: Install app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix and check again things now U'r rooted. Regards

All of the stock firmwares uses KK RO acess for SdCard unless U install some custom & fixed ones.
Have also provided many tutorials in the subforums detaily how to fix it for GC2 models.
Latest firmwares uses some extra functionality regarding SDCards, fix will not work unless ...
Enjoy.

OK, thanks for the statement. I accept, i am a newbie here. I can figure my way through most of the other forum out there.
But one pertaining to Mobile device require's little more knowledge, because its tricky, since there are a huge number of devices.
I am not a regular visitor.
Anyways, i found a firmware for my device.
Link:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G355H/
http://samsung-updates.com/details/42605/Galaxy_Core_2/SM-G355H/INS/G355HXXU0AOC1.html
The second link to the firmware matched the hashes to the link in the first link.
Did the Odin thing, and all the necessary steps. But still i am not able to copy/paste/delete etc function.
So i technically give up for this device, i'll use it as it is.
@StratOS_HTC: I tried the KitKat access app from Google Play store, a number of them. But they all showed similar results.
But i'll be open to your opinion.
Thank you.:good:

As said and will said again :
Please read carefully !
Hope your phone works ok and everything else on phone is ok.
If you can't access your extSdCard throught phone do a low level format ( and hope you don't use 64 GB ).
Hope also you don't use any other EXT partition on your sdcard. or any other sd linkage or swap options on your sdcard
Format the sdcard as only extFAT or FAT on any other comp card reader and reformat it on the phone !
Now you should be able to access the sdcard on your phone if every thing else on phone is ok.
If U'r rooted on stock ( KitKat sdcard restriction ) and if U have installed nextapp.sdfix and grant su access to it the app will change this permissions for you and you will be able to aceess rw to sdcard now.
Hello,
My problem is not common but I hope to find help here. A few months ago my usb chip on my unrooted GT-S7275R stopped working and so it's a few months I charge my battery on an external universal device. Annoying but not critical. The problem began when to increase the graphical abilities I tried to install drivers from chainfire 3d (that I will not do again!). On reboot (and since) I have the "Samsung" written and then black screen! From the discovery menu the wipe cache partition doesn't work so it's not difficult to guess that I have to flash the rom... except I can only do it from sd card... I tried by placing the right zip file of the rom downloaded from here (without unzipping the file since theres a dll in the package I don't know if I should... It says "install /sdcard..." and then nothing... In case It would be due to the fact that the phone is unrooted I tried this method with replacing the files by those corresponding to my device but nor the CMW or the su-busybox worked...
Anyone has any solution? I cannot afford a new phone so I really need this one to work again!
Thanks
