[Q] Help with SD/Nand mounting

Hi Guys, i have this old Gpad G10 upgraded that I have just installed the current beta firmware on (giving up hope for a real final) .. some games don't work (seems to be everything with 3D shading .. don't know for sure) but many do. Movies play flawlessly .. WLAN works .. so basically I have what I need this tablet for.
One thing I do need help with though .. as I am not a unix geek.
I don't like the fact that NAND is mounted as /sdcard and the external sdcard is mounted as /sdcard/tflash. Due to this the cache folders, backups and app2sd doesn't use the sdcard but internal (and more limited Nand).
I tried to change /etc/vold.fstab to turn this around:
Original:
dev_asec_mount nand /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/ndda
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/tflash auto /devices/platform/tcc-mmc0.0/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sata_sda /mnt/sdcard/sata_sda1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-sata.0/host0
dev_mount sata_sdb /mnt/sdcard/sata_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-sata.1/host0
dev_mount scsi_sda /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sda1 auto /devices/platform/dwc_otg.0/usb2/2-1
dev_mount scsi_sdb /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-ohci/usb1/1-1
Modified:
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/ auto /devices/platform/tcc-mmc0.0/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sata_sda /mnt/sdcard/sata_sda1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-sata.0/host0
dev_mount sata_sdb /mnt/sdcard/sata_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-sata.1/host0
dev_mount scsi_sda /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sda1 auto /devices/platform/dwc_otg.0/usb2/2-1
dev_mount scsi_sdb /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-ohci/usb1/1-1
dev_asec_mount nand /mnt/sdcard/tflash auto /devices/virtual/block/ndda
It only works partially. Nand is mounted as /sdcard/tflash but the sdcard is not mounted correctly. What I see is 5 folders:
sata_sda1
sata_sdb1
scsi_sda1
scsi_sdb1
tflash
Only the latter is correct. So I don't see the contents of my external sdcard in /sdcard.
Is there a person more unix aware than I am .. that is willing to help?
Edit: SDcard mounts now .. just had to remove last / from /mnt/sdcard/ .. my mistake. Now if I get nand to appear as /sdcard/tflash .. all is fine. Doesn't work yet but I'm not giving up

HEy friend...
i have the same problem.. you came to any result?
i edit /etc/vold.fstab
original:
dev_asec_mount nand /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/ndda default
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/tflash auto /devices/platform/tcc-sdhc0.0/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sata_sda /mnt/sdcard/sata_sda1 auto /devices/platform/ahci/host0
dev_mount sata_sdb /mnt/sdcard/sata_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/ahci/host1
dev_mount scsi_sda /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sda1 auto /devices/platform/dwc_otg.0 /devices/platform/tcc-ohci.0 /devices/platform/tcc-ehci
dev_mount scsi_sdb /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-ohci.0 /devices/platform/dwc_otg.0 /devices/platform/tcc-ehci
after:
dev_asec_mount nand /mnt/sdcard/tflash auto /devices/virtual/block/ndda default
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/tcc-sdhc0.0/mmc_host/mmc0
dev_mount sata_sda /mnt/sdcard/sata_sda1 auto /devices/platform/ahci/host0
dev_mount sata_sdb /mnt/sdcard/sata_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/ahci/host1
dev_mount scsi_sda /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sda1 auto /devices/platform/dwc_otg.0 /devices/platform/tcc-ohci.0 /devices/platform/tcc-ehci
dev_mount scsi_sdb /mnt/sdcard/scsi_sdb1 auto /devices/platform/tcc-ohci.0 /devices/platform/dwc_otg.0 /devices/platform/tcc-ehci
result:
see files of nand in /mnt/sdcard/tflash
but in mnt/sdcard not see external sd files.
and when connect to pc. only is recognized the nand flash as partition. before pc recognizes two partitons J: nand flash and K: external sd .
P.D: in /system/etc/ also exist file vold.conf
original:
## vold configurarion file for the emulator/SDK
volume_sdcard {
##this is the direct uevent device path to the SD slot on the device
emu_media_path /devices/platform/goldfish_mnc.0/mmc_host/mmc0
media_type mmc
mount_point /sdcard
ums_path /devices/platform/usb_mass_storage/lun0
you think should change something here too?

Well .. I don't really need nand .. using SDcard is sufficient for me .. so in fact my change does everything I want .. every temp cache etc. is now on my SD and I don't care if the device has nand or not. I wouldn't know what to do with nand even if it appears under /tflash ;-)

Internal/External SD Memory

Hey guys, I'm sure this is a fairly common problem that us "Blaze" users are having issues with but I haven't figured out a way around it. As we all know, Blaze only came with about 1.5g of "Internal SD" memory while the "External SD" memory could be expended. This becomes a problem as the "Internal SD" is the default storage for apps, especially when you are trying to download a game that is more than 1.5g. I've looked into "Directory Bind" app but that's only really to move the app files from internal into external, AFTER it has been downloaded and install on the phone and point to its new location. Ive heard about Internal/External reverse mount tweaks, but haven't found one specifically for our phone. Does anyone know if there is a way around this? So what I'm basically asking is this: Can we use the External SD as the default storage for apps and games? And have the apps/games installed to the external SD location?

+1 on this, would love to see something

I have the same question if you find something let me know.

as a matter of fact, I have found a way to switch the internal/external sd mount points. You need to go into /etc/ using Script Manager and edit the vold.fstab file. Inside, you will find this:

Just for future reference, Make sure you do a little research about the question you are asking. There is a thread exactly like this one in the dev section.

I tried to do this in script manager and it said i was opening a read only file. Tried to open directly, wouldn't let me save. Tried to open a local copy and script manager force closed. Then tried Root Explorer. Still wouldn't let me save. Even tried copying vold.fstab to my sd card, editing it, deleting the copy inside /etc and pasting the edited version, operation failed.
am i missing something?

I meant root browser. But, I even downloaded Droid Explorer to run it on my computer, no go. Eventually, Root Explorer did allow me to edit but upon reboot, the process android.process.media kept force closing.

Does this vold thing work?

Download Script Manager from the Play Store

I'm going to implement this into my next build of pa...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app

For those running some iteration of the stock Touchwiz-skinned ICS rom (whether custom or just stock rooted), you can always try flashing this (md5 829584F66F2F13419639A0F77AEC2033) in whatever non-stock recovery you happen to be using. This replaces the vold.fstab with one merwinski tweaked (so the internal/external sd swap stuff happens), and includes a script I put together that moves some relevant files from one to the other for you (in other words - anything you selected to move to SD via Settings > Applications should still be there and usable after flashing this). All usual disclaimers apply (i.e. I'm not responsible for breaking blah blah etc.), but if for whatever reason you want to go back to how it was before you can flash this (md5 A38CD198B5DB73209441D4A6250D33C4) and that will undo everything (including the file moving) that was done with the first one.
Hope this helps folks, and just because it bears repeating - THIS HAS ONLY BEEN TESTED ON STOCK ROMS, NOT ANY OF THE AOSP/CM BASED ONES! IT WILL VERY LIKELY NOT WORK ON THOSE!

Patiently waiting!!!
paranoidandroidpoweredBLAZE!!

I thought it worked...
Alright, So i'm running CWM and I used your VOLDSwap. Now, It worked from the look. my phone storage is 3gb now and my SD is 1.2gb. so when I look at all my storages at the same time, I see my phone storage (1.2gb) my USB storage, which is now my SD card. It was 1.2 gb now its 3.8 gb. and my SD card which is now my USB storage at 1.2gb.
here is my problem, in theory I should be able to install to the "USB directory" because that is now my actual SD card, however; when I do this, i still bypasses my USB storage (my actual SD card) and still installs it to my actual USB storage (1.2gb and also being recognized right now as my SD card) so what can I do to fix this? I love that my USB storage says 3.8 gb, but it's pointless if it still uses my Sudo USB storage of 1.2 gb? is there anyway to rewrite the install directory. because It still installs to my phone but instead of going to the USB storage like it used to, because my USB and SD are swapped now, it instead heads to my USB which is labled as my SD... it's like.. no matter what I do I can't get it to install to my higher gb storage location.. any help would be beyond appreciated.

Convert External SD to Internal SD Android (Specially For Low Budget Devices)

After installing a couple of games and apps, Android tells you that you are out of storage space. So you head on to ebay and buy the largest sd card your credit card can buy. You slap in your brand new sd card and head on to install more apps, only to find out you still have no storage space left despite moving apps to sd card.​
What is The Problem?
Android tablets in general, has a different directory structure compared to Android phones. Mine has 504MB for apps (in system), 2.08Gb Internal storage (sdcard), and mounts external sd cards as (extsd). By default, external sd cards (extsd) are only used for media storage. Unfortunately, apps only recognizes sdcard, so your media files will still need to be transferred to internal storage for it to be played. What's the point?
This Is A HACK
This hack will swap the position of the internal sd card to the external one you bought earlier.

First of all your work is highly appreciated.
Secondly u mentioned that this process is tested on funbook talk p362. I have it too.
But the adb drivers are nowhere to be found.
You will say turn on USB-DEBUGGING and it will install drivers automatically. but no none of that works...tried with internet connection on. but driver update says no driver found for this device.
I ll be highly thankful to you if you helped me rooting my funbook talk. or provide me the necessary drivers.
and for your information i downloaded a ADB Drivers.rar file....and it installed drivers too....but android sdk does not recognises the adb device.

not on root checker. It will be there in root explorer..
you first need to root your device before you can edit that file..

There are no drivers for Funbook P362...see for yourself.!!!

ando dev said:
First of all your work is highly appreciated.
Secondly u mentioned that this process is tested on funbook talk p362. I have it too.
But the adb drivers are nowhere to be found.
You will say turn on USB-DEBUGGING and it will install drivers automatically. but no none of that works...tried with internet connection on. but driver update says no driver found for this device.
I ll be highly thankful to you if you helped me rooting my funbook talk. or provide me the necessary drivers.
and for your information i downloaded a ADB Drivers.rar file....and it installed drivers too....but android sdk does not recognises the adb device.

After installing a couple of games and apps, Android tells you that you are out of storage space. So you head on to ebay and buy the largest sd card your credit card can buy. You slap in your brand new sd card and head on to install more apps, only to find out you still have no storage space left despite moving apps to sd card.​
What is The Problem?
Android tablets in general, has a different directory structure compared to Android phones. Mine has 504MB for apps (in system), 2.08Gb Internal storage (sdcard), and mounts external sd cards as (extsd). By default, external sd cards (extsd) are only used for media storage. Unfortunately, apps only recognizes sdcard, so your media files will still need to be transferred to internal storage for it to be played. What's the point?
This Is A HACK
This hack will swap the position of the internal sd card to the external one you bought earlier.
First You Need To Root Your Device.

you cant..
but you can assign some part of your external sd to internal memory (the memory in which the aps are installed).. by using linkSD..

[Q] No Brand Galaxy s4 i9500 (4,7" 540x960 1GB/4GB MTK6589, android 4.2.2) problem
Hello friends!
I got this 1-sim phone from chinese online store with one problem. It can not mount sd-card! "damaged sd-card, try to reformatting it" I do this and receive this message again... Can't remember what ROM it has except that it was I9500ZSUAMDF. From needrom, com only 3 roms match to me: 1. B9500 other two is I9502 (I9500ZSUAMDF).
vold.fstab contains (maybe problem in it):
Code:
except all #points
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 [email protected] /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/MTK-msdc.0/mmc_host
dev_mount sdcard2 /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.1 /devices/platform/MTK-msdc.1/mmc_host
also i have vold.fstab.nand contains:
Code:
except all #points
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 auto /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/MTK-msdc.1/mmc_host
I can't post photos because of this forum "10 messages" rule. You can check it here
chinafon .ru /images /S4_v89_1sim_005.jpg
chinafon. ru/images /S4_v89_1sim_011.jpg (remove spaces)
"SD Insight" app can actually detect my external sd-card and show right info about it! Here is bus location it shows:
1. mmc0:0001 - internal memory 4GB Henyx
2. mmc1:5dc6 - my external sd-card 8GB Kingston
3. mmc2:0001 - unknown
Some guy in Russian community has same problem when he tried I9500ZSUAMDF ROM and fix that by changing it to I9500XXUAMDK, but he have a little different clone of galaxy and his rom don't matched to me...
Please help...

[Q] RCA RCT6378W2 soft bricked

RCA RCT6378W2 soft bricked
Hello, I have soft bricked my RCA RCT6378W2 android 4.2.2 rooted with kingo. I copied by my ect/vold.fstab to my pc and then edited it to swap my internal sd to my external sd using the following example commands via text editor from Root Browser as I don't have the actual commands.
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/virtual/block/nand1
dev_mount extsd /mnt/extsd auto /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.1/mm_host /devices/platform/sw_hcd_host0 /devices/platform/sw-ohci.1 /devices/plaform/sw-ohci.2

dev_mount sdcard /mnt/extsd auto /devices/platform/sunxi-mmc.1/mm_host /devices/platform/sw_hcd_host0 /devices/platform/sw-ohci.1 /devices/plaform/sw-ohci.2
and now I am stuck at the RCA logo after the dog logo. I can get into stock recovery and have found the following options:
Apply update from ADB
Apply update from external storage
update rkimage from external storage
apply update from cache
Please don't laugh but I know nothing about linux and very little about android. I successfully applied ShawnMT's custom recovery and custom ROM on a nextbook 8 with a friend and it worked fine. I have searched every forum, downloaded RCT6378W2 recovery zip file that I discovered on one of the forums but other than that I know absolutely NOTHING.
I have downloaded and zipped the RCT6378W2 ROM files from
Android Forums>Android Tablets & MIDs>RCA>RCT6378W2>RCT6378W2 - All Things Root> (Subfolder)Rom Files
and tried to "update from external storage" but nothing works. Is there anything that I can do to recover the stock rom this tablet? Please have mercy on me and thank you in advance for any, and I mean any advice or direction you can provide.
