Ok, Today I will show how to fully unlock the webtop feature in the Atrix 2, so that you can use your favorite Linux apps and desktop, to be more productive while using webtop.
This will be in several posts to make this easier to read and understand.
There are several requirements I will list here, first:
1) A way to use webtop - The HD, or lapdock, or have completed the webtop mod for the HDMI connection Here
2) This is most important, and if you completed 1, then you most likely have done it, root your Atrix 2
3) A USB SDcard reader. I have the Sandisk imagemagick, but any one you like will do
4) Be able to ADB from your computer to your phone
5) Not afraid of a little command line work
Partition Instructions:
Depending upon your operating system, free software is available so that you can partition and format your device without losing all the data on it.
You will need to get one of the apps / iso images below, I recommend the live iso with gparted on it, just because I am a UNIX/ Linux guy by trade and choice, and this is what I use.
Linux gparted live iso image:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
Windows MiniTool Partition Wizard:
http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
You must create a parition on your SDcard for webtop, as this is is a full Operating System and takes a good bit of space. I made mine around 8GB on my 32GB card, and for the purpose of showing you here, I created a 4GB partition on a spare 16GB card I have. 1GB is the minimum, because that is what is already being used on the Atrix2 and I think it is about 80% full or so.
The partition you create MUST be a primary partition and formated to ext3.
For Windows here are some screen shots from another board that may help, with instructions:
This is what the MiniTool Partition Wizard screen looks like when I have an 8 GB SD card inserted. As you can see, there's currently one single FAT32 partition present.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651143&d=1310342755
When you right click on the partition, you'll see a Move/Resize option. That's the one you want to select for non-destructive partitioning.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651144&d=1310342755
At that point, you can select how large you want your partition to be. You want to make sure that the "Unallocated Space Before" stays at 0.00 MB, so that the new partition will be the second one. In my case, I've opted to create a 4 GB partition as the second partition.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651145&d=1310342755
Once that has been set up, right click on the Unallocated space, then select Create.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651146&d=1310342766
We're not worried about the warning that Windows throws up, particularly since we know we'll be creating a partition that Windows can't read anyways. So just hit Yes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651147&d=1310342766
Create the second partition at the maximum size with the following settings:
Create As: Primary
File System: Ext3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651148&d=1310342766
After that's done, click on the Apply Changes button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=651149&d=1310342766
And now you're done! Put the card back into your Atrix2
Now for gparted:
If you are familiar with Linux and know how to use gparted, just resize your FAT32 partition to whatever size you want, then create a partition at least 1GB in size (I recommend 4GB), and make it an EXT3.
Now for the rest that are using the iso here is some info and screen prints:
Launch gparted:
Here is a screen print of my desktop with gparted running:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now in the upper right corner there is a little drop down that has something like /dev/sda in it, change this to your SDcard, mine was /dev/sdc.
Next right click on the partition in the middle of the screen, it should be surrounded in green, then click Resize/Move:
Then when the next screen comes up, drag the arrow from the left to the middle of the screen to resize the partition, to the size you want, this is in MegaBytes:
Now will have one partition that is ready to resize, and it should look like this, you will click on the "Apply all Operations button":
Then a little window with the percentage will show up and tell you when it is complete, just click the close button when it finishes.
Next you will right click on the unallocated part of the SDcard and click new:
Then you will tell it how big in new size box, I let it do the whole thing at 4GB, then select ext3 in the File system drop down menu:
Then after you click add in the last screen, you will click the "Apply all Operations button" Again:
Now it will show the percentage window again, and when it is complete, click the close button.
Done! Now it should look like this:
Put your SDcard back into your phone now.
Next will be how to copy over some patches and a script that will do a lot more, and a manual way for the brave.
Ok, so now that we are partitioned we can do some real fun stuff, and by fun stuff I mean command line.
I would make sure you are plugged into a power source when you are doing this part, becuase the script will run for a very long time, it is copying 1GB of data to your SDcard, and installing a patch that includes another 100 or so MB of needed programs.
Go get this tarball
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU COPY THIS INTO /data/local ON YOUR PHONE
Copy this to your system with:
adb push webtop_unlock.tar /data/local
Now connect to your phone with ADB
adb shell
su
cd /data/local
tar -xvf webtop_unlock.tar
chmod 755 setup_webtop.sh
sh ./setup_webtop.sh
This will do a whole lot of things, like copy the webtop install to your SDcard, then patch it, so that you can run synaptic and a termial and disable the FACLs and MACLs that Motorola has implemented, so that it is not locked down anymore.
***Note: I only had a chance to run and test this script once, so if it is an issue please let me know nicely in a post here, or PM me, but please copy any errors or get a screen print if you can, so that I know what to fix. Please don't post a reply with it did not work, give me as much info as you can.
After your phone reboots ADB into it again, and do this:
su
mount -o remount, rw /
**take note that you must run the "mount -o remount, rw /" command anytime you reboot your phone because any programs you get thru apt-get or synaptic will error out during installation
Now that you have most of what you need Do this:
Connect to webtop with whatever method you like, HD dock, or lapdock, or TV (you most likely have to have a bluetooth keyboard mouse to use your TV).
Then when the webtop session starts:
Ctrl+Alt+T
When the Terminal launches type this at the command line and hit return
sudo apt-get update
From here, you can run "gksu synaptic" and use the password "test" to start installing various different programs and packages that are normally available on Ubuntu.
Dependencies
Take caution when modding Webtop because there are some dependencies that will break Webtop if they are upgraded such as anything ending in a .mot or anything resembling that.
Credits
Please thank [mbm] for fixing what Motorola took out, without him, none of this would be possible without his patch.
Sogarth for being the pioneer of Webtop hacking.
Now that you can get into synaptic, go find a desktop you like and install it.
I use gnome and I like it, but here is a list of KNOWN working apps, I am sure there are many more, just know some will not work at all.
Working Programs:
OpenOffice
XFCE4
Xchat
LxTerminal
Transmission
lxpanel
rdesktop
VLC Player (Video is choppy)
Gnome-Panel
Evolution Email
Chrome-Browser
Now that you have a desktop you want to run, lets set it up to start for you instead of that launcher at the bottom of the screen now.
After installing your DE of choice thru apt-get or synaptic, navigate on your phone with Root File Explorer to /osh/usr/local/bin/ and open the file "start-oshwt-2.sh" in the text editor and you will be presented with something that looks like this:
#! /bin/sh

setxkbmap 'us(android)'
Note:
I highlighted the section you are interested in in Blue.
The sfalv -i "awn-autostart" command might also bin the file /osh/usr/local/bin/start-oshwt-1.sh
From here, if you comment out the sfalv -i "awn-autostart", then add to the script sfalv -i "xfdesktop" and sfalv -i "xfce4-panel" if you installed xfce4 or whatever Desktop environment you installed. If you followed this, your script should look like this:

Hiya Jim! Thanks for posting this!
Question:
So with this it says you have to have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for use with a TV. Did they disable the onscreen keyboard and mouse then?

If you use the webtop patch for connecting to a tv, I THINK you can still use the touch screen on the phone for keyboard and mouse, but I will be real honest, I have not tried it, since I have the HD dock and I have used a lapdock or two to play with.
Jim,
I gparted my **** the other day and made a 4 gig partition called Linux, but when I ran the script I got this:

ok adb in and remove the files you used.
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/local
rm setup_webtop.sh
rm mountosh
rm mountosh1
rm unlock_webtop.tar
rm webtop_setup.log
mount -o remount, rw /system
cd /system/bin
rm mountosh
mv mountosh.orig mountosh
cd /data/local
mount -o remount, rw /system
End Code
Then go download the tarball again from the link in the OP (I made a slight change in the script that should fix the error about stating the /tmp/osh directory), and do the instructions in OP again.

ok so when I tried to rm mountosh it gave me permissions denied.
EDIT** Ahh, I needed to be su after going into dab
Edit***: Jim When I try to run the webtop SH file I get this:

./setup_webtop.sh: 116: Syntax error: "}" unexpected (expecting "fi")

Ok, I found the issue, I forgot to close out a new if loop I had to add to fix the last issue.
I have updated it, go re download and remove the files in /data/local
check to make sure that there is not a /system/mountosh.orig,
if there is, move it back to mountosh, and remove the mountosh script ONLY if there is a mountosh.orig. I am guessing that there is not one since this most likely did not run at all.
P.S. I can't test it, since I don't have my replacement phone yet, they did not have any in stock at the repair center, so Motorola had to send me a new one on Sat. I should have it tomorrow or Wed. at the latest, I will have to do all of these things again, and I can test it then is depth a little more. Otherwise if you don't mind Being the guinea pig I will fix any issues ASAP.

Well Now I get this when I try to open the sh file:
[email protected]:/data/local# sh ./setup_webtop.sh
.: Can't open /osh/upath.sh
[email protected]:/data/local#
I'll Keep trying as long as you think it's fixable. Last thing I want is to lose my web top entirely.
EDIT**: Right now when I connect my phone to my monitor I get a moving Motorola logo like it's a screen saver.

It is fixable! I used to be a system admin, (before I switched to consulting and system architecture) and you can always fix it until it no longer boots.
when you ran the script, did fully run and did you see files being copied, and did it reboot your phone?
ok, now I need you to run a few commands and collect some data. post the output here, after you get it.
Code:
adb shell
su
/system/bin/fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 | grep -i linux
busybox df -h
ls -l /system/mountosh
ls -l /system/mountosh.orig
cd /osh
cd /osh/etc
ls -l
End Code
I am suspecting that the script somehow applied the patch, and the FACLs and MACLs are still in place.
If things look good, then we will try and move tomoyo out of the way.

Ok, I see one issue, I think I miss-typed on location in those commands...
Run this for me.
Code:
adb shell
su
ls -l /system/bin/mountosh
ls -l /system/bin/mountosh.orig
End Code
show that to me...
It looks like /osh just is not mounted or the mountosh script is missing... That is easy to fix, at worst case if it is not there, that I can get for you when I get my replacement today or tomorrow.
jimbridgman said:
You are missing the script to mount the /osh parition completely that is why everything is not working. That means that right now, Android can't see anything on that partition, either the one you created or the one that ships with the phone.
About the best thing I can do right now is to have you hang tight until I have my replacement in hand and I can get a copy of the original mountosh file for you, so that the /osh parition will mount up again, that is a very easy fix for all this. Once I have that for you I will give you instructions on what to do to get you back up and running.
I was hoping that is all it was.
It looks like when you were cleaning up after one of the script runs you removed the mountosh.orig instead of moving it back to mountosh.

crap. User error strikes again. No Worries Jim, I will wait patiently. I wish there was a way to restore the whole phone to stock including the OSH info. Resetting up my phone prefs is damned easy. lol

show that to me...
It looks like /osh just is not mounted or the mountosh script is missing... That is easy to fix, at worst case if it is not there, that I can get for you when I get my replacement today or tomorrow.

Ok, so then they really are not there... So, Sit tight I will get the original mountosh that they ship on my replacement, and get it uploaded for you, then you can run the script again... that is why all the errors happened, since /osh was not mounted, from the original ( do alot of tests for it to be there in my script), and it could not mount since the script that does this was not there, nor the one I hacked to mount our partition over the default one.
Hi, I would like to know how i can make a Odin one package.. I already tried one of the tutorials which says:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
when i try entering one of those i get:
No such file or directory...
So my question is, what is a WORKING method to save the data / make an odin rom?
Is it also possible to convert a backup to an odin one package or so? Please help me out, I want to make a uber clean / fast rom
Thanks in advance..

It did , i made a small typo in the mount line tho...
It exports all partitions correctly, tried to make a MD5 One Package but no success so far xD
I use
Code:
md5sum –t sdcard/output.tar >> sdcard/output.tar
mv sdcard/output.tar sdcard/output.tar.md5
should do the trick, according to the tutorials I've read...

Yes idd.. I would love that. Nothing to configure, just install > enjoy CFW
Edit: Just made another odin flashable. hope this one works, will be testing it when im at home
I made the tar (tar.gz actually but renamed it) with root explorer this time; much better compression now lets see if the MD5 is also correct according to Odin
Edit2: I tried to do the whole process in root now instead of /sdcard (which seemed to be the problem) and it seems to work!

(The one package loaded contains everything except /system and /data, this is because my phone "crashes" when i move 500mb from sdcard to root, swapping to small? anyone know how to fix?)
Ofcourse i can use linux shell to XD
And the result so far
(The one package loaded contains everything except /data)
Before i flash it to my phone i want to make sure it doesn't put my telephone in BSOD (Also happens when Kies updater fails)
And the big question: Will Cranium RC5 one package work? If it will, its nice
htc one s tmobile us
I have bootloader and fastboot unlocked
I have recovery (official cwr touch) and adb functionality
I have ROM and adb functionality
Its the first build of cm9 without 1. sdcard mount 2. USB_lun0 3 mobile access or 4 wifi. I know... pretty ****ty place to be. But it is what it is
I've been trying to 1 create symlink between system and sdcard and then mount it.... so I can push a ROM to it and then flash it...or so I can push my backup file back in it and then mount with clockwork and restore... I even tried pushing a modaco ROM to /data/ and then try "recovery --update_image /data/mod.zip" but of course cwr isn't amon-ra and will not allow for flashing from anyplace but sdcard
I can write **** to sdcard....I just cannot get it mounted in recovery or Usb .I wiped my sdcard from fastboot "clear storage" and have tried many things. But that's irrelevant because do have my original Nannie saved to my computer...
I can write/push/files to sdcard... I just cant get the phone to see it.
I need help to 1 access sdcard and boot a normal ROM or 2 fastboot a Nannie back in but that's not possible without plain .img files or 2 somehow boot a ROM from a partition I can see...
I've tried many many things. I can remount it gives me rw when I remount... but the phone or the computer cannot see this...yet.
I even tried RUUing the euro version and of course that failed. I just need to flash a different ROM and the trick is getting the phone or recovery to mount sdcard.

maybe you should use code tags in the future to distinguish it from normal text. your post is a little bit confusing because of it's length ...
now to your issue:
boot into cwr
select "mounts and storage" -> "mount /sdcard"
now you can push files to /sdcard/
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/
I get Error to mount sdcard when I try to get CWR to get a file off sdcard
and when I try to mount usb -
Error - no ums_lunfile found
Sorry for being so verbose and wordy, the problem is simple, cant mount, cant get to usb.
Trying to create symlink but I dont see a vold file in here... so I am trying to make one...
this blows -----
only thing left for me to do is wait for RUU or find a boot.img and a system.img to fastboot in.
is there anyway to convert the cwr ext4 backups into .img's?
or is there definitely NO way to flash a ROM from /data/ or other partition in clockwork? any other recoveries for the htc one s? amon?
this blows!! if I can find a usable vold.fstab to use or some way to mount sdcard in recovery I would be all set!! but theres no way to mount sdcard or even ums_lunfile.
Will have to either figure something out but I would appreciate direction. thanks.
im on gtalk at joshcues
Can you boot into the os? If you can have you tried automount from the market. No experience with a phone with no external sdcard yet so i don't know if that will help at all tbh. My wife just got one so i guess I'll be learning now
automount just saves you a couple steps when you plug the device into the computer -- so you dont have to enable usb mount..although i am now trying a bunch of apps.
Yes I can boot into OS -- ive been trying different vold files... no luck so far. I can install any app I want, Ive been using stericsons Remount and Android Root Toolkit Beta https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sa.root.toolkit&feature=search_result to quickly remount rootfs as rw... but it never sticks -- still, they are helpful... at least i have full adb control and am able to play with droid explorer because i am all adb'ed out for now.
if only I could at least enable wifi or get the radio going.. i would be fine with the phone without a sdcard... its kind of funny... but yes i can boot into OS, but

did you try to make a link from /sdcard to /data/sdcard/?
mkdir /data/sdcard
ln -s /data/sdcard/ /sdcard/
if that does not work it would be interresting to know what your friend did to the device. have you tried to manually mount the sdcard?
[URL="http://pastebin.com/UMtJK88h"][URL="http://pastebin.com/xBH4Wge3"]http://pastebin.com/YUsCQsrf[/URL][/URL]
Ive got data/sdcard symlink set up and mounted. But recovery cannot flash or restore from data/sdcard. The first time I had the regular mnt/sdcard that I restored from.... but this time I cannot find mnt/sdcard.
Made link to /system/sdcard but cant make it pop up in recovery...
All thats left for me is to find either the fresh rom waiting to be flashed OR the two backups waiting to be restored that reside on sdcard. So, the last thing to do is to get sdcard to freaking pop up in clockwork recovery.
i got somewhere... but not quite at the finish line. Any suggestions? do I need to rebuild the sdcard file system from scratch? Will check back sometime this week... but golly...

I am now able to see sdcard from the phone using file manager and adb -- there is a /data/sdcard/ now that is read write and has a nandroid waiting for me as well as a fresh modaco.zip rom
However I still cannot mount sdcard manually and when I get to recovery it is looking for sdcard in /mnt/sdcard/ not /data/sdcard/

as i said before ... why don't you just make a link /sdcard that points to /data/sdcard ?
ln -s /data/sdcard /sdcard
how would you do that? can I create a link using adb? I'm in the same situation except that I formatted my system folder because I had no idea mounting wouldn't work (I"m coming from a different phone).
Thanks in advance.
I tried to create a link using
Code:
adb shell
ln -s /data/sdcard /sdcard
no luck. any other idea?
jodue - I can (and have) link I can see sdcard file (with a modaco rom zip waiting on it, as well as clockwork/backup/2012-5-1xxxx) from the following links -
/data/sdcard
/system/sdcard
i sometimes have them written as mnt/sdcard but they never survive a boot.
I unable to mount sdcard in recovery using either or both of those links
I do not (yet) know how to manually add a ums_lunfile to a ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
I have played with the permissions, looking at my other devices and seeing how other versions of ROMs have different permissions on the same app I am missing a vital switch that will allow Clockworkmod to see the sdcard. The phone may not be seeing the sdcard but it is definitely there, but cant I try to create a link between the Recovery and the sdcard?
I have messed with the vold.fstab and build.prop files in many many different ways (always restoring to default files after each attempt)
I do not (yet) know how to enable wifi on a ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
I do not (yet) know how to enable bluetooth on ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
I do not (yet) know how to enable the mobile connection on a ROM that does not yet have it incorporated.
So either I am going to figure out the top three items, or I am going to figure out how to mount my sdcard or have Clockworkmod recognize my SDcard so it can simply 1. restore back to normal or 2. flash a proper zip file.
It is like this phone is on perpetual vacation unless a number of things happen.... kind of funny...Id really like to fix it before the RUU comes out because once it does.. thatll be a lot of searching (Im now trying the Bing search engine because Google didnt find the answer) for nothing!

no luck. any other idea?

did you mount and as root?
it's probably the best and simplest solution for you guys to reflash with a stock RUU. i am sure that it's possible to restore a backup from the state you are in however it's hard without actually having the device in front of me ^^
good luck!
bored of waiting for ruu -- another effort
allrighty just logging some more efforts to my morbid problem - the goal was to boot into recovery and then mount..
mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p36 (36 wasnt there, tonight it was mmcblk0p34) /sdcard
or
mount -o bind /data /sdcard
i was able to make both succeed (in recovery) but clockwork did not agree, so thus unable to mount sdcard in recovery so I could restore or flash a proper rom.
I then tried flashing diff recoveries... to eliminate the off chance that it was a problem with particular cwm builds... i flashed stock recovery and then tried to make it flash rom from "internal" storage but of course HTC has that stock recovery looking for very specific files... so my "update.zip" went nowhere (pushed to both /data and /system as im not surre where it flashes from....
then i tried the modaco unofficial cwm nontouch recovery -- that did not want to mount...
then i tried the official cwm nontouch 5831 recovery (the touch recoveries take up space and I cant see the logfile in those)
i think i got somewhere with the mounting in recovery -- i wasted too much time trying to mount in runtime (upon boot) --
next ideas or where shall I go from here? Im not done by any means... anyone happen to know exactly what file the STOCK recovery is looking for when it tries to "flash update from internal storage"
any ideas, i will try. Heres a bunch of pastebins...http://pastebin.com/eTJuJuy9 and http://pastebin.com/0vUdaLvB and http://pastebin.com/qUSJMLpn and http://pastebin.com/fGkHzgbw and i am going to try some more on my windoze 8 system at home because the usb twatholes on this machine are pretty much unreliable.
steps -- I could find out if my mounting and binding needs more followup, I could find a system.img to fastboot I could find a way to flash from /data I could find a way to freaking mount another external drive I could pray like crazy that AmonRa gets a HTC One S and puts his flashable-from-anyplace-other-than-sdcard awesomeness on it....but thats about as crazy as the thought of a HTC guy dropping in here and asking me if I would mind testing his RUU.
cheers and thanks for whatever ideas you have no matter how crazy they sound. Waiting for a RUU is about as much fun as waiting for water to boil.
this is resolved.
lesson to be learned -- flashing an alpha build of a "work in progress" rom without the ability or proper OS to create your own .img files is going to 1. break things 2. cause silly threads like this, 3. force you to learn a lot more about android file systems and 4. wait for a RUU that may never come
xkonni was so kind to make me an updated system.img and accompanying boot.img from which I flashed through fastboot and then that was that.
htc sense makes no sense... but it makes no sense to recklessly flash files without reading the thread itself!! although I am just overjoyed I dont have to see sense again!
hey,
i have the identical problem and i am trying hard to solve this. but till now, i wasnt´t successfull. Is it possible that i use the files? It seems worth a try.
thx

i now see that it is impossible to resore any nandroid backup in recovery, because CW doesnt find the sd-card, mounting and usb mounting doesnt´t work,too.
but the crazy thing is: after formating the sd-card i have access in windows but still not in recovery
So, let me get this straight --
You had this same issue -- could not get clockwork to see sdcard much less mount it or access sdcard?
When you were in Android you could not see sdcard or system would not see sdcard?
When you were in ADB you could see sdcard and mount it but it would never stay mounted? Did you try #mount -o bind? did you try to create link to sdcard? (of course did you mount as read/write first?) If so, let me know
You PM'd me and told me about a successful RUU you found that solved it... thats great -- but do you know why trhe problem happened in the first place?
The first time.. it was probably because I flashed a total alpha rom and shouldnt have...
but now.. it happened after I was already established..
I dont know why it happened.... I just know how to get out of it. Last night I got the flash itch and wanted to see what MIUI was up to and once again I ventured out into miui and once again I got bit hard. All of a sudden (I may have accidentially erased sdcard from one of those settings or wiped it) I could not see sdcard.... so i boot into clockwork and lo and behold.. clockwork was up to its old tricks of "cant mount sdcard!!!" and "no umslun0file!!!!" so I was like wow, whats going on?
I want to know WHY this is happening... the "fix" is there, but i dont know why this is happening.
Two things -- 1. This kind of problem has existed but most devices have removable sdcards. so its easy to give up and get a new sdcard.. etc... (problem doesnt get solved it gets trashed) but now... this problem needs to be resolved.. is there a defect? if so.. then how can we resolve these defects without having to replace the entire phone?
partitioning
yesterday... while in CM9... I decided that I wanted to try a repartition. So i pull all files from sdcard onto my desktop. Then I tried to format sdcard with Windows 8. Bizarre thing -- the computer could mount sdcard and all.. but then I got an error when I tried to do a simple format with Windows it wouldnt do it... I shrugged and booted into recovery and had clockwork do the partition...
i set my partition limits and then it proceeded to partition.. but it was "finished partitioning" less than 2 seconds later. I thought that was odd it should take at least a few moments. So maybe Clockwork could not partition or it did not? I dont know yet.
What benefit do phones with built in solid state drives or nonremovable sdcards have? Whats the point? I never had an issue with any of the dozens of sdcards -- some failed, but i simply got a new one or fixed it.
Hello here is a guide to Recover Deleted files from internal memory From Any android Phone
You Need
1.Rooted Android phone ( In my case i used Note 2 N7105 )
2.Install busybox ( Note : Install in /system/bin NOT at system/xbin )
3.Drivers Installed on your computer
4.Download The Recovery Tool.rar [ https://www.box.com/s/zw0sfprtlx4dqysd018o ]
5. Download Recuva [ http://www.piriform.com/recuva/download ]. This is the Software going to recover your file , or you can use your favourite Data recovery software . But i suggest Recuva
Steps :
1. Take your rooted phone . Go to Setting->Devoloper Option -> Tick on Stay awake and USB debugging
2.Connect your Phone to the Computer , Let the driver Install .
3.Extract Recovery Tool.rar to c:/ ( You will Find two folder AB and Cygwin )
4.Click Start -> Run ,
Type " CMD " Press Enter
5.Dos Window will open up Now Type " cd c:\ab\ " Press Enter
6. Type " adb devices " Press Enter
** Make sure it returning out Some numbers (IMEI) under list of devices
7.Type " adb Shell mount " Press Enter
Now this is something important , After the command adb shell mount it will give a long List you need to fine "dev/block/mmcblkop"xx" /data(or user data "
Note : The xx can be any number
In N7105 its " mmcblk0p16 " is data Partition .
The last two number (xx) will change from mobile to mobile . Just note the partition name . In my case its " mmcblk0p16 "
8.Close the CMD window . Go to My Computer->C:/->Cygwin->Open Cygwin Terminal
9.Type " export PATH="/cygdrive/c/ab":$PATH " Press Enter
10.Type " adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 " Press Enter
11.Type " adb shell " Press Enter
12.Type " su " Press Enter
13.Grant Superuser Right on your Phone
14.Type " /system/bin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/bin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 " Press Enter
15.Minimize the window , Open another cygwin Terminal i.e. My Computer->C:/->Cygwin->Open Cygwin Terminal
16.Type " export PATH="/cygdrive/c/ab":$PATH " Press Enter
17.Type " adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:5555 " Press Enter
18.Type " cd /aa " Press Enter
19.Type " nc 127.0.0.1 5555 | pv -i 0.5 > mmcblk0p16.raw " Press Enter
20. Now let it Run this will take long time for me it took me One hour to complete
21.After it Compltes Click start->Run Type " cmd " Press Enter
22. Type " cd c:\cygwin\aa\ " Press Enter
23.Type " VhdTool.exe /convert mmcblk0p16.raw " Press Enter
24.Now Close Everything .. Right Click My Comuter->Manage
25.Now Select Storage-->Disk Management.
26.In the menu select Action-->Attach VHD.
27.For Location enter " c:\cygwin\aa\mmcblk0p16.raw " and select the OK button.
28.Right-click on the name (e.g. "Disk 1") to the left of the Unallocated space and select Initialize Disk.
29.Select the GPT (GUID Partition Table) radio button and select the OK button.
30.Right-click on the Unallocated space and select New Simple Volume...
31.In the Wizard select Next>, leave the default for the volume size, select Next>, select a drive letter (e.g. K), select Next>, MAKE SURE to select
the 'Do not format this volume' radio button, select Next>, select Finish.
32.A box will pop up asking you to format the drive. You DO NOT want to format the drive at this time.
33.Right-click on the RAW space and select Format... MAKE SURE to change the File system to FAT32. Set the Allocation unit size dropdown to 'Default.' MAKE SURE that the Perform a quick format checkbox is CHECKED. You do not want to overwrite the entire new drive with all zeroes (0's) and destroy your data. Quick Format means that it will only attempt to destroy the index for the drive by establishing a new index. Without this box checked the Windows operating system will write zeroes (0's) across the entire volume, potentially destroying your data. Select the OK button.
34.A box will pop up saying that Formatting this volume will erase all data on it. That would be doubly true if you actually didn't check the 'Perform a quick format' checkbox. Double check that you actually did check the box and select the OK button.
35.Open the Piriform Recuva application. In the wizard select the 'Next >' button. Select the 'Other' radio button and select Next >. Select the 'In a specific location' radio button and enter: k:\ (assuming K is the drive letter you chose...) Select the Next > button. Select the Enable Deep Scan checkbox.
36.The application may take about an hour to do the 'Deep Scan.'
37.Once the application has returned its results you can choose which files to recover using the checkboxes. Select the 'Recover...' button and choose the location to which you wish to output your files.
No need to Thank me , This is not my work , i just gathered information and some Copy/Paste . Have a nice day

Hello, I'm hoping to get some help.. as you can see this is my first post and I'm a total noob. I accidentally flashed my phone this morning have been working all day trying to recover some of the pictures. I've been at it all day and asking for help is my last resort.
When I run the "adb shell mount" command in step 7, I can't find "dev/block/mmcblkop"xx" anywhere. I did also try the same command with a captal S in Shell like in your post, but that seemed to just bring up help commands (I did look for mmcblkop in there too, nothing). I looked through all sorts of posts and searched for another way to identify the userdata partition for my phone, but couldn't find any other way to do it. The closest I found was this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28115791 ) but due to my lack of knowledge, I don't know what program those commands work in. I tried running:
"su
ls -l/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/" command in cygwin terminal and a terminal emulator on my nexus but neither worked.
Eventually I just guessed and used "mmcblk0p12" since it was listed in the post I linked, and followed through the rest of your directions. It did work, but it seems like the partition I recovered didn't have any of my photos in it. It was a just a bunch of zip files containing folders with what seemed to be application info, lots of pictures of ads used in apps and app icons. So this gives me hope that maybe I can recover some of my data if I could locate the correct partition. ANY help would be greatly appreciated!

Same Issue
I've been a stalker of Xda since I received my Nexus 7 a month ago, finally have a problem i can't just search my way through. The fact the file system has that stupid 0 folder and inside really messed me up.... when I deleted it. I'd like it back. and I need help.

for phones unable to connect via "Mass Storage"...
hi all
Thanks to all those that made this recovery option possible!
What I learned:
i have a razr hd, latest update, therefore no mass storage conx ability, so the method described in this thread is CRUCIAL.
different phones have different data partition labels....long story short, install DiskDigger from PlayStore, open DiskDigger, allow superuser once, a list of "blocks" will be shown, specific to your phone.
look for the " /data " line
you want the info within the parentheses " (...) " after " /data " ;
i replaced the data block in instruction #14
[14.Type " /system/bin/busybox nc -l -p 5555 -e /system/bin/busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p16 " Press Enter]
with my specific data block, or " /dev/block....... "
I have received a lot of help from this forum and hope this helps someone else
bad news for me is that I still lost a lot of my jpg's, but this thread helped me recover what little I could
Thanks for the Guide!
However i just manage to recover those photo and files which located in Whatsapp folder and Wechat Folder, I did not manage to recover all photo from Camera Folder.
Anyone encounter the same issue with me ?
1 Connect your Android device to the computer
You need to enable USB debugging on your Android phone. According to the Android OS version running on your device, choose a way to enable it.
1) For Android 2.3 or earlier: Enter "Settings" < Click "Applications" < Click "Development" < Check "USB debugging"
2) For Android 3.0 to 4.1: Enter "Settings" < Click "Developer options" < Check "USB debugging"
3) For Android 4.2 or newer: Enter "Settings" < Click "About Phone" < Tap "Build number" for several times until getting a note "You are under developer mode" < Back to "Settings" < Click "Developer options" < Check "USB debugging"
2 Scan your Android device for lost data
After enabling the USB debugging, you'll get the window as follows. Click "Start" to anaylize your device.
3 Preview and recover contacts, messages, photos and video from Android
When the scan completes, you'll get a scan result below. You can preview SMS, contacts and photos scanned out. Choose those you need and click "Recover" to preserve them on your computer.

I know this is an old post, but I see no one answered your question.
Hers your answer here "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0" so I am going to guess that you use omap_hsmmc.0 instead of the mmclk0p
Seeing every phone is different and they don't all have user data at mmclk0p or have the samething dump out with adb shell mount.
This is what I did to find the correct info for my userdata.
Now when you are in terminal and type adb shell mount you may get stuff like this
/dev/block/platform/msm_dscc.1/by-name/userdata
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now to find the info needed to your user data, you will need terminal on your phone or, see i already had cygwin terminal open and connected to the phone with adb shell. I typed SU to become super user. I then followed this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1743872 and used this command to get the info I needed( the command is wrong in that thread so I will correct it here.
Tpye this in terminal now
Code:
ls -l /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/
It should spit out something like this now
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-07-01 01:03 boot -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
lrwxrwxrwx root root 2012-07-01 01:03 cache -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p11

In this case you will see userdata is mmcblk0p12. This is for a Nexus. I am using a Galaxy S3 and it works on it too. Mine was mmcblk0p15 instead. I hope this help some people out.

Addings
Hi, first of all - thanks!
This saved all my vacation pictures!
Note: the link box.com/s/zw0sfprtlx4dqysd018o is obsolete
You can download cygwin and Android SDK separately instead, it will change some of the paths.
It doesnät matter if Busybox is in /bin or /xbin
One tricky thing about some Xperia phones:
These phones have a "virtual SD card where most of the deleted files are stored.
I don't understand why - there is no SD card slot - but that's how the design is made.
Nevertheless. When running the df command you'll notice this, and your files wont be stored in /data
My files were found in something like /SD/179:16
Good luck!

I have the same problem

According to the instruction I can't copy the raw file.
I check the path in my computer and I foud a raw file empty.
I have confirmed the partition name: mmcblk0p12.
Finally, have you solved your problem?

Hi Guys,
I have an Blu Dash 3.5 D170, but i do not have a system android yet... i've got a little problem:
I'm trying to install a backup system.img I got here, but always fails in writing step because the lack of space in /system
when i use adb shell ls -a /system the result is:
Code:
D:\Android\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
~ # ls -a /system
ls -a /system
. .. lost+found
~ #
other words, there is nothing inside /system...
When i use "busybox df", results is:
Code:
~ # busybox df
busybox df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
tmpfs 80612 48 80564 0% /dev
/dev/block/mtdblock1 225280 148096 77184 66% /system

~ #
I can not understand why occupies 66% of the space is has NOTHING within the directory
I tried using the command "fastboot erase system", and the command says that cleared the system, but it does not clear these 66%
what should I do to fix this?
