I have a problem with my rooted i9305. I flashed Pandoriam 2.0 and my phone went in loop mode. So i reflashed original stock rom from germany ALI5. Then I rooted again my phone and installed custom ROM (tried Pandoriam and Supreme). The odd thing is that the bloatware from Tmobile keeps reinstalling itself also after flashing the custom roms, anyone knows why and how to solve this.
Thanks
I have the same trouble with Vodafone. Looks like the Provider have a separately Partition. The only way I've Known is to use Titanium Backup and deinstall/freeze them.

I think I solved it since in CWM in mount and storage I formatted everything singlehanded. No bloatware reinstalling.

From memory its just the preload partition I think its called that you have to format?

I do not know whether that's for sure, so I let my hands of it. At the end I delete something important. But thanks for the tip. Yeah, I'm a little bit anxious

yes in CWM you need to mount preload then format preload and none of those apps will reinstall, and Flydutch reason you went in bootloop is most probably because you didnt wipe/data factory reset but i think you knew that already

I'm pretty sure you don't even need to do that.....Just go into system/apps and delete the Preloadinstaller.apk. Also just to make sure on the root of the internal SD is a folder called Preload, I removed that too.
At least that's all I did on the i9300, of course the i9305 could be different

Much easier doing it the other way no need to go into the system and look for a file simply just cwm and press 2 things mount & format. this way it never comes again. The preload installer file will return when you install another rom

If you do that in CWM will it delete the preloadinstaller.apk from the system and also the preload folder from SD card, or do you still need to do this?

CM7/Zeus v7alongside any rom with GB bootloader and CM7 alongside v28a
Hi!This is my"how to" for installing two roms on one OB.
1.We need to partition sdcard
partition #1 : format it to fat(will be used as sdcard)
partition #2 : format it to ext4(will be used as system of zeus and must be at least 320 MB)
partition #3 : format it to ext4(will be used as data of zeus and must be at least 400 MB)
2.Now if u want:
1.Zeus flash this
2.cm7 flash this
(DO NOT FORGET TO PUT YOUR INTERNAL ROM`S KERNEL TO /sdcard/boot/ and name it nandboot.img!)
3.cm7 alongside v28a flash first this, then flash v28a with SFT, then root your v28a and after that put files from this bin.zip to the /system/bin
3.Now if u want to boot:
1.Zeus type in the terminal
Code:
su
bootzeus
2.cm7 type in the terminal
Code:
su
bootcm7
3.v28c ICS
Code:
su
bootsd
4.your nand rom
Code:
su
bootnand
NOTE:If u change your nand rom first install your new rom and after that copy your new rom's boot.img and put it to /sdcard/boot.img and after that rename it to nandboot.img and after all this install this if your sdrom is cm7 and if Zeus this
Now partition table is:
Code:
Zeus/CM7/v28c ICS
system /dev/block/mmcblk1p2
data /dev/block/mmcblk1p3
CM10
system /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
data /dev/block/mmcblk0p9

Even if it works you'll still be using the same kernel and ramdisk which will only work on ROM very similar to your base.

I had a look. It looks promising. Its quite a cheap trick and should work on our phone.
I am on my phone now so I can't study what he did in detail and I'm not entirely sure how he handles kernel switching (yet).
It's a good find.
EDIT: Nothing to do with kernel root or command line though.

I`ve made script for OB and it works
HTML:
cat /sdcard/boot/sdboot.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
echo Rebooting to SD Rom. Please wait...
sleep 3
reboot
return 0
I have repacked zeus rom`s kernel with sd mounts and put the system partition to mmcblk1p1 but it looks like smthing goes wrong(if sdcard is inserted it reboots to recovery in a few seconds but if I remove sd card it stucks at lg logo) and it have created app, data, etc. folders on data (sd) partition

Make so that it only mount the sd partitions if the sd card is present and is made to be bootable.
Reflashing the boot.img isn't a nice way of doing it since bad flash would result in a bootloop. Linux has the ability to reload a kernel without shutting down. I don't know if the kernel that we use can do that maybe it's worth looking into.

as i said "and it have created app, data, etc. folders on data (sd) partition"
What if i will move /system #2 to /data partition and both of the systems will have data partition on sdcard?
PS. It worked!Now I have data partition on mmcblk1p2
here it is(this is kernel for cm10(26.10.2012))

Just everyone thats reading this know that it still booting from phone and then reading data from sd. (Not true dualboot yet )
@ sulley
Why not use recovery as the phone boot.img and then normal boot then goes of two sd. CWM sources are available and can be modified so that it works as a boot manager. It will then be actual dual boot because from there you can load kernel from either sd or phone (and unload the recovery kernel and with its dying breath start the new kernel ).A project like this will take A LOT of time and will definitely be more than 6 months. Since it would be based on recovery it should be able to make it work for all phones that can use CWM and have similar boot structure. I will help out on a project like this but I can't be that involved with it since my studies will take up most of my time.
As much I understand, bootloader is needed for dualboot and it applies same on Android. So you got access to our bootloader or just directing the boot.img from 1st ROM to 2nd one? Like handshaking?

Well I have installed rom's kernel to the recovery partition but after booting to this new kernel i couldn't boot back tonormal kernel till i reflashed recovery from rom manager
ps.recovery partition is at mmcblk0p4 and boot mcblk0p3

As I expected, not real dualboot. But very much appreciting try. Keep it up
Anyway i still want to make one rom at nand and anouther on sdcard, but if i set in kernel system directory to mmcblk1p1(sdcard) it starts to boot but smthing goes wrong but it starts to boot and i know it because it creates app, data, app-private etc. folders on data partition of sdcard(mmcblk1p2), i think this is because it remounts sdcard or smthing like this.Any ideas about soving this problem?
Hi
I would like to delete all the files from the phone memory and SD card. What should I do? Now i have Ultimate ROM v5.
What Odin version is good now ? I have a GB ROM N7000XXKKA_N7000XXKK6.tar.md5 and Abyss 4.2.

The faster way will be go into recovery and format everything. Do full wipe like usual, and go mounts n storage format sdcard.

Hey, I'm new to this forum and to android. I have the Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070, it has JB 4.1.2 rooted, and I've installed the CoCore-E 6.2 cwm kernel. I want to install the Pure Vanilla mod, but my problem is that when I'm on recovery mode I can't backup my current rom because the external SDcard is not mounted. On the recovery mode there is an option to mount the SDcard but whenever I trie to mount it, it says "error mounting /sdcard". Sorry if this question has been asked before, I just couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. It would be really nice if you could help a noob out. Thanks in advance .

u don't need to mount sd to take a backup. just go to backup and restore and take a backup!
and pure vanilla is not a mod, its a rom!

Do you see anything from external sd? If not, you need to repartition it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning

Yes, the external sdcard is mounted when on Android, and I'm able to transfer stuff on it. I've formatted it to fat32 but no change, should I repartition it anyway ?
Repartitioning it to FAT fixed the problem, now my sd is mounted when on cwm recovery. But when I started a backup it was going pretty well until it stopped and said "Error while making a backup image of /data!". I guess the univers is against me installing this rom .

Hi!
I messed something with my system. It's still working, it's not that bad, but i want to sort the mess out.
I upgraded to CM 10.1, and I didn't like it, so I used backup of stock JB from clockwork recoverymod (gboot).
Well, Android 4.2 messed something with my SD cards (external and the phone memory), from nearly 10 GB in the phone memory it became 1,5GB. I know that 4.2 implements new way of management of user memory, but I still can't comprehend this management (probably messed because of the restore I made).
Also, app for the NFC doesn't work (I tried to replace it and now NFC is not working completely).
I would really like to go back to the beginning and try again from the stock JB. Is the proper solution to flash the original 4.1.2 using KDZ?
Thanks in advance for solutions
Yes.

hahahah, this.
Well, i know that if u flash CM after having stock, then all things u hah on internal storage before, are in data/media. And if u roll out to stock from CM again, they're existing in folder named 0
Okay, and if I flash the stock JB using kdz, it will solve the problem of the SD cards, and it will recover all system apps?
yes
Well, it didn't work. Only restored system apps I deleted (nfc was just not working, the app wasn't deleted) and didn't help with the memory neither.
to wipe /data AND internal storage:
(user apps, system settings, user data, internal storage get deleted)
stock recovery: choose option 'factory reset'
cwm: mount --> format /data
twrp: wipe --> /data
factory reset option in cwm and twrp doesnt touch the internal storage
another option is to copy everything from /data/media/0 to /data/media if you want to keep ur files or entirely remove everything inside /data/media/ if you dont care.
with installing cm10.1, it moved everything from /data/media to /data/media/0
kdz flash doesnt wipe /data. be sure you perform a factory reset with stock recovery after kdz flash

Hi,
I'm using a CM11 LBL ROM with Williams kernel. The rom uses the wipedata hack to enter recovery and then extract files on /temp and /
I wonder if I can use the fota partition to put the files already extracted in it to win some time at reboot. I will then modify the scripts to use this partition.
I tried some commands to see what's the size of mmcblk0p11 without success.
So: someone knows this partition size ? (I need about 20MB) Can I format it in ext4 without messing something ?
Thanks.

I don't think that this gets you much speed. It takes not a single second to move 20mib.
The Rashr recoveries are saved in the fota partition. So it should be possible to use fota for your own stuff.
Have a look how big a rashr recovery is. That's the amount of space you have at least.
Or look how big the fota partition in a stock ftf is.
But I don't think it's worth the time.

Thank you for your answer.
recovery img are about 10MB and it seems the partition is about 16MB.
The way recoveries are implemented on my rom it seems to take about 3secs to extract the files and launch the script.
Well, it's more for fun than to win time.
The more important is to know if I can format it without any bad surprise ... In theory there is no reason but ...
I am pretty sure you can format it.
Rashr does it too...
Maybe you should do reasearch how Rashr works.
And google for stuff like "Fota messed up bootloop bricked". That way you can see what the worst thing is that can happen.
And look for partition table problems just in case...
