[Q] Need Help - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I found the guide here on how to root my Acer Iconia Tab 8. But since I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to computers compared to you guys, I got a bit confused on the instructions. When I launched the launcher.bat or whatever it was, I typed in what was necessary but then it said that the adb was killing. Is there a fix to that? Also, if someone could explain the instructions to me in a simpler and more detailed way, then that would be great.
Thanks

Do u installed ur adb drivers for device..

Download drivers from ur device manufacturer's site...
And install it...
Connect ur device...
Then check it in device manager for your device... What it says...if it has a exclamation sign...then drivers are not properly installed or matched...
If not... Then enjoy...

Ok I was able to root my tablet. Thanks for the help.
And also one more question. Since I have an Acer Iconia Tab 8 A1-840FHD, you can't move apps to your SD card. Is there a way to actually move apps over?

Yes y not... Use link2sd... Nd leave worry about internal storage by linking apps to sdcard...

Well I downloaded the Link2SD app and I can't move apps to my SD but I can link them but I have to pay to link it....... Any other apps that can successfully move apps over?

Yes it is a paid app...But it can link apps..Which is same as moving over sd card...
U can use mount 2 sd or folder mount.... like similar apps... But I have never tried these... Search and give it a try...

better go check youtube.. many instructions with videos available there..

[Q] New Xoom owner.

Hello
I have just ordered a Moto Xoom from the UK.
I'm writing this thread to ask a few questions. I have a htc desire, which is rooted and running successfully for over a year, so I understand rooting to a extent.
1) Does the SD Card on the Xoom now work?
2) Is there any one click type solutions for the Xoom? Eg the desire had unrEVOked.
3) Are more apps being made compatable? Or is it like the iPad whereas iTouch apps look small ?
4) With the Addition of AdwEx, is it worth rooting?
Sorry for the slightly newbie questions:$ Thanks in advance !
Search the dev section. You will find what you seek.

I suggest going to the General section and finding the Xoom Heaven thread. There's lots of info there. about rooting, great apps to use, all about recovery, etc.
There's a new universal root tool, but one-clicks as such don't work so far for the Xoom. You need to set up what you need to use adb and fastboot on your pc, hook up the xoom, oem unlock, flash the CWM recovery, and flash the Xoom root zip, then a custom rom and/or kernel if you like. The Xoom is great out of the box but unbelievable when rooted/customized.SD card works. Lots of great tablet specific apps--more everyday.
Thank you for the reply , I'll check out the thread
So to double check SD card access works without root?
And why is rooting better for the xoom?

If I'm not mistaken, native SD Card support came out with Android 3.2.2 (been awhile since I was out in the game, when I jumped back in everything changed xD ).
With the xoom rooted, you'll be able to back up your whole system, strong support for SD Card support and support for using USB Thumbdrives as well.
There are some 1 click root out there that's more like 100 clicks (pretty much you click, read what the message tells you to do and follow. Like it'll tell you what to do when you in fastboot and to unlock the bootloader, etc, but not sure how up dated it is, it's usually better to just do it manually).

I've been rooted since the start, so from my understanding, the most recent update gave read-only sdcard access. But rooting gives r/w access, usb host mode, overclocking, over/under volting, and a whole slew of user controls and improvements, depending on which rom/kernel you flash. I recommend it for the additional smoothness. ADW EX only makes it better.

Usb host mode gives you access to thumb drives and external harddrives, like WD Passport. You can also use a usb keyboard and other devices. You will need a USBOTG cable to access host mode.
Ok thanks so read only you can play music or install apks you already had on the SD? (hypothetically)
And yeah I love root on my desire but I'm not so sure about my new to be xoom, some review videos show the xoom being quick anyway an I don't really see many custom roms, so basically wondering should I aha
Sorry! And thanks
Ps) newest stock launcher vs adw?

Hi there! I run the Xoom Heaven thread. I was just glancing through this question thread and noticed my thread was mentioned by good old okantomi. If you need any root answers, please ask away on Xoom Heaven.

[Q] Stuck somewhere on CWM after flashing several roms

here it goes, i flashed several roms, it goes straight to CWM after samsung logo. Did i mount/unmount sys, blah blah blah... the answer is yes. Have I checked all my drivers to make sure they are working...YES! I opened up ODIN and it will not locate my phone. Oh it must be the usb cord... It cannot be after using several different cords... maybe the port aint working either..lets check *beep* wrong! Everything is in working order... I can get into download mode from the CWM, i can flash whatever the hell i like it will not pass the samsung logo or the CWM. Maybe there is something i can sneak into my sd and a zip file that makes it all working...not possible! so.. i need help.
I cannot go straight to the download mode after samsung logo, it will only boot up CWM red. I can get into green CWM by clicking sd:update.zip which doesnt do much for me or my phone. when i move around in CWM red. it would say no cache recovery log, in the download mode it would say no custom binary.
I would LOVE to get my phone up and running... going on to my second day at it!
Perhaps you can copy a working rom onto the external SD card from the computer and install from zip like that..
Just in put the zip into the SD card, navigate cwm to external_SD and try and load.from that zip..
Not sure.. I'm a noob

I managed to get my phone up and running after million of tries getting the phone to be read by the PC and ODIN.
However, I cannnot download any apps from the martket due to error (-101). I have gotten all my apps back through external SD from the stock file manager.
Should I root the phone again and bypass the market to external SD (rooted apps) and flash a rom and the market will be working?

go to settings/manage applications and look for the market app and uninstall the updates. then you can download apps...
same happen to me when I go to stock, and looking for a root explorer app to download for replacing the recovery file.

I go in there all the time ;-) however I've already uninstall the market (the updates) and downloaded a new one from my external sd and it still says error (-101).
I am getting ready to root the whole 9 yard again, BUT my phone cannot be read once again, it will charge but it cannot be discovered. WHY SAMSUNG GOT to be SO COMPLICATED!?!
I guess the MODs can close this thread, since my phone is up and limping. Thanks for those that "helped" out, right!

Sounds like you're upset, but you're displaying poor attitude.
No one forced you to do anything to your phone.
You choose to make the changes yourself.
Shouldn't you read up more on it before you start?

Try super one click root
I think it may work as it claims to be a universal app.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Relay SD Card

Hello Everyone!
I've bought my new Samsung Galaxy S Relay yesterday, so i'm typing from my new QWERTY keyboard. I decided that i'll need some external space for my phone and bought a 16GB San Disk SD card. On my old Samsung Galaxy Mini there was a function in App Manager to "Move to SD" but here there's no such function. So how can i move them to SD. I've checked in the internet and i found that people were usually complaining about the phone not allowing them to move and the solution was to root the phone, but here i don't even have that function. Please, can someone help me to move my apps to my SD? All the answers are appreciated....
I also read in the internet that your android device automatically installs games on SD if it sees that you are running out of memory.If that's right please tell me cause i didn't fully load my phone memory.
My android version is 4.1.2(i guess that"s JellyBean)
P.S.:I know that the rooting could be the answer,but i am really against it because i bricked one of my phones by rooting so i don't want that to happen.

Look up FolderMount in the Play Store. That's the best solution for your issues.
As for the risks of rooting: nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Thanks for your respond dear orange808. I tried the FolderMount app and it requires root. So i guess the only thing i could do is rooting, but i still don't want to root my phone so i'll deal with my 5 GB internal storage...Thanks anyway, this could be useful for others
OK guys i decided to root my phone cause i can't just sit and stay calm knowing that i could be playing Asphalt8 or Real Racing3(maybe). So after rooting(i didnt root it yet) what apps should i use to move my apps or will "Move to SD" function be available after rooting?
Ok, so i see nobody wants to help, so i did all by myself. I succesfully rooted my phone then downloaded the app called root external 2 internal sd.So everything is fine now, i have a lot of memory. Also Titanium Backup is a good app to delete some crap on the phone(I'm sure most of you are familliar with this app, but just in case somebody doesnt know). So I hope this was useful.
I can help you

I can help, since I was sorta reluctant like you. Here are a few things you could do:
1) Link2SD is proven to work-it does on my SGH-T699. But you need not only root access, but a second partition on your extSDcard. By the way, the "Move to SD" command does not exist in the Relay's hardware or software. But with Link2SD, you can create symbolic links instead via the second partition. That can be done by using Mini Tool Partition wizard (free but some functions are limited)
2)You need a microSD full size adapter.
3)A media reader, internal or USB will do.
For root:
You need Odin. Odin allows you to flash recoveries (Like CWM- the latest version for apexqtmo is 6.0.3.8) and entire ROMs. Search around XDA and I'm sure you will find the links required to do all this. This is my second post, so I'm unfamiliar with citing other threads.
If you need more help, I'll be happy to.

I use foldermount and have no issues with Real Racing 3 and other huge games, it works nicely.
Link2SD does something similar, but does FolderMount require root access? The Relay does not support native Apps2SD, so since Link2SD worked so well for me, I suggested it. Good suggestion, though.
Maybe I was too long winded.

Thanks for answering and good advices. I find the "Root External 2 Internal" app great too, you just have to learn how to use it(you can google it and im sure you will find the instructions).
I dont know much about android working stuff, so the rooting for me was a big risk and i dont think if theres any risk of bricking my phone whileflashing recoveries i would prefer not to do that.
I wish everyone Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Great Holidays!!!

By the way about Real Racing 3. The game works and plays perfect on my phone, but the stupid Google Play says its incompatible(i hope i spelled it right) with my phone. So i went to download it from other sources. Its not just the RR3, the GTA SA works perfectly, GTA VC, GTA 3, and there are a lot more games i dont remember, anyways, the question is if theres any app that can change it by root access(make it compatible) or something like that?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried forcing a link via Titanium Backup? If you enjoy tinkering with apps at that level, then I would even buy the $5.99 USD key. This unlocks more features to come. This app (and its key) is available via Google Play. Search "titanium backup" and those will be the top two results.
Good luck.

Yeah... I dunno why. I installed RR3 from play on my Xperia Pro, then backed up the apk, and then moved to the Glide, and now to the Relay and I have the same question. Why the hell is it "not compatible"?

I guess the phone is too old for them to care about it. But i found an app called BLACKMART ALPHA which a) allows you to download paid apps for free(not all apps from play store are included but most of them are) b)doesnt care if your phone is compatible or not with the app (Like it allows me to download rr3 or gta sa) c)if theres an update in the playstore it appears in it so you can easy update apps from there.
I couldnt find the app from google play (maybe because i wasnt looking for it carefully) but you can easily find it by google search.
Hope this will work for everyone.

If you're partitioning your SDCard in this instance, can you partition it evenly? Like say if you have a 64GB SDCard, and partition it into two 32GB isolated sectors? I know the Relay can only see up to 32GB (there's a thread that tells you ways around it, though), but in this instance, would it see two 32GB sectors? Or, would you have to take a regular 32GB SDcard and divide it into two 16GB sectors?
You can determine the size yourself. It entirely depends on how much you want to allocate. If you've followed the instructions quoted, any size is possible. Just leave enough for your other needs that aren't related to link2sd. If my advice helps you and others hit "thanks" please. Good luck, I'll keep checking in periodically.

The relay supports 64 GB SD Cards. Works fine with mine formated to ext4. I've filled it to capacity several times.
I know. I was just saying that he can put aside any of that 64 GB for use with apps2sd symbolic links.
EpicMike, I'd be interested as to how you fare in this process. It would educate me for sure. I currently use Link2SD for my symbolic links, but every ROM update temporarily disconnects these links. They are easily re-established by recreating the mount scripts within the app. Just thought you should know.

Hello Everyone!
I've bought my new Samsung Galaxy S Relay yesterday, so i'm typing from my new QWERTY keyboard. I decided that i'll need some external space for my phone and bought a 16GB San Disk SD card. On my old Samsung Galaxy Mini there was a function in App Manager to "Move to SD" but here there's no such function. So how can i move them to SD. I've checked in the internet and i found that people were usually complaining about the phone not allowing them to move and the solution was to root the phone, but here i don't even have that function. Please, can someone help me to move my apps to my SD? All the answers are appreciated....
I also read in the internet that your android device automatically installs games on SD if it sees that you are running out of memory.If that's right please tell me cause i didn't fully load my phone memory.
My android version is 4.1.2(i guess that"s JellyBean)
P.S.:I know that the rooting could be the answer,but i am really against it because i bricked one of my phones by rooting so i don't want that to happen.

I know i might get out of topic in this but anyways. Ive just accidentally uninstalled my CLOCK(that sounds too stupid,so iam stupid i guess). so could anyone back it up and send me the .apk file to [email protected] ...or if theres a function to attach it here(im not sure about it) pllease do so, cause i really need it.
Thanks everyone in advance.
There is a clock package elsewhere on xda. Just Google 'ported clock package jb' and click the first xda link visible. It should look like [PORT] at the beginning of the link. Follow all instructions and warnings on the thread. Click the correct links for your OS version, then you could use your recovery to flash the zip file. Or you could go to the play store and check out the clocks there. Should've said THAT first.
Good luck.

[Q] Cannot access SD-Card in Galaxy Core 2 SM-G355H ?

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
Regards.

Have U read my last reply ?
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.
