This is my first attempt towards creating a zip file to update the kernel using Clockworkmod Recovery (v6.0.1.0) on a Galaxy Nexus phone. My repeated attempts to flash the boot.img to the phone failed. I checked the logs to determine the cause of problem and I'm getting the "can't find boot partitionscript aborted" error that is causing the update to fail.
Error log:-
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Please wait, boot.img being flashed...
can't find boot partitionscript aborted: assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/BlankFlashable.zip

I've had this issue with Nexus 7 rooted stock ROM 4.1.2 and 4.2 using TWRP 2.3.2.1.
Earlier I had gotten a TWRP version to save to a USB-OTG but then I had some problems with root and I re-rooted the device. Then I got error message trying to use TWRP. I upgraded to 4.2 and problem persisted.
Running stock ROM 4.2 on rooted Nexus 7.
Backup Complete
Failed
Backup Folder /data/media/0/TWRP/BACKUPS/hash and date
E:Unable to locate android secure partition
Using Ghost Commander, I go to /data but the folder does not open. I can go to /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/hash/hash/date and that folder does open, but it is empty.

Basically, it's a permissions problem. I've tried using Permissions fix on CWM but with no luck. As FAT doesn't have a permissions subsystem, seems like there is no problem with it, but as EXT4 has it, everytime the phone creates a new file/folder, it cannot read its own file.
Although I can connect and see the files on the computer, they're marked with a padlock. It means I don't have permission to access it.
I can regain access to the file and the phone can read it back again, but it's a pain in the place if everytime the phone creates a file, I have to put it back to the computer and redo the permissions sets. It can't even view it's own files. I've already tried to set the SD card root permission to myself, and with everyone capable of read/write access. But unfortunately, newly created folders aren't affected by this.
As far as it looks like, it creates a 'user' for every app that makes the file.
For example, the folders on that picture were created by the camera software, so the user of both is "10041 - user #10041". It has R/W access, but nobody else has access to even see what's inside.
I really enjoyed the transfer speeds with EXT4 (I'm on Ubuntu 12.04), even inside the phone and outside, using USB cable and apps feels snappier. I don't want to go back to FAT32..
I'm using a Motorola Atrix 4G and Morrisoft CM7 latest buid (Custom ROM).
Just to clear things up: Device CAN read and write files under EXT4, but it trips on its own tail by settings permissions badly.

I got my HTC Hero this morning - its my first smartphone and I am very impressed. I saw some fairly damning reviews online, but when I trialled it I was hooked. Superb device A+ so far, except for this little problem which I think is probably linked to my Laptop rather than the Hero... I have plugged it into my Laptop via USB. Vista found the drivers, installed all well and good. However, if I click on Removable Disk (F I get an error stating that there is no disk in the drive and please insert one. I've tried re-installing the drivers using the ones available online, and nothing. I've also installed HTC Sync which simply doesn't find the device despite being plugged in. The Hero reckons it is connected, complete with USB symbol and HTC sync symbol. So what have I done wrong? I've tried all the obvious ones - reinstalling drivers, different USB port, turning both off and on again (many times), uninstalling, reinstalling etc etc....

I am running rooted stock Android 2.3 on LG E405 (no working 4.x ROMs exist for the device)
I have two questions:
1) What is the shell command to manually make android allow the PC to mount androids' (internal) partition as USB-drive? (I cannot think of right keywords to google this one up - )
2) How does android determine which partition is which (i.e. which one to remount for the PC when connecting in "USB storage" mode), beside vold.fstab and init.rc? On android 2.3 that info is not in "framework-res.apk", so where is it? In the partition table itself?
I had switched data partition with internal sdcard partition.
Here's how: Phone had a very small "/data" partition on /dev/block/mmcblk0p21 and large internal "/sdcard" partition on mmcblk0p20
So I reformatted mmcblk0p20 (ex-sdcard partition) into EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 (ex-data partition) into FAT32
Then I changed init.rc to mount mmcblk0p20 as /data type EXT4 and mmcblk0p21 as /sdcard type VFAT (mounting /sdcard was commented out in stock init.rc for some reason). This required modifying my boot image.
I have also set correct partition number in vold.fstab:
[#]dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.3/mmc_host[/#]
So basicly I now have a large /data partition and small internal /sdcard. I'm able install up to a gigabyte of APKs and it works fine.
However, when I connect to my PC via USB into "USB Storage" mode, the phone seems to still try to unmount what was previously sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p20), instead of what is NOW an sdcard partition (/dev/block/mmcblk0p21) I can still send files to the phone via wi-fi and ADB, but the ability to mount it directly would be nice.
If I accidentally select "erase internal sdcard" from storage menu, that will also most likely erase what is now my /data partition, softbricking the phone. The "factory reset" option will probably only corrupt the sdcard.

I'm have been trying to create a second partition on my sd card using miniTool Partition Wizard.But in the end I never get a 2nd partition but just a smaller first one.My approach is as follows:
insert empty SD card (FAT32, 4GB)
open miniTool Partition Wizard
right click on SD card - "Move/Resize"
choose 1gb for unallocated space after - click ok
right click on 2nd partition and choose "create"
create 2nd partition with FAT32/Ext2/Ext3 (tried all options already) and "primary" and Cluster 4KB - click ok
Apply
Afterwards my SD card is still shown as one partition, but this has just 1gb less capacity then before.Neither the Wizard nor the phone detects the 2nd partition then.

I can't figure what is exactly meaning the Partition Sdcard values in CWM.
I have an i9000, with 8Gb of flash. Some are system reserved. Available is around 6Gb.
When i run CWM, i can partition my sdcard, but i don't see what means the possible values (for 256 to 4096).
This is obviously not ruling the space left on /sdcard mountpoint (i partition to 2048, i still have nearly 6Gb available)... So what exactly means partition sdcard from CWM ??
i can't find an answer, and i dislike, when flashing rom, following commands i don't really master (generally a partition SD 2048 / SWAP 256 or SWAP 0).

I have bought a cheap chinese phone that had a 4g rom. 512mb is mapped to data as p3 and p4 is mapped to internal storage which is 2g.
I have managed to work out how to delete partition4 and extend partition3 as they follow on from each other.
However how do I remove all links to it in the system as it still tries to mount it on boot even though it isn't there.
I have removed the line from vold.fstab and that just crashed the external and internal sdcards and the storage section inside the system settings.

I am currently trying to flash my new Sanei n10 tablet with CM10 and it is proving much more difficult than I first imagined.
My main problem seems to be that the device just does not want to boot in CWM. I have installed the latest version of CWM (found here) via the Terminal Emulator but it doesn't boot into CWM Recovery, but rather just boots normally. I have also tried using the hard keys to boot into it but all that does is boot me into the default android system recovery (3e) which is useless as it will only update from verified roms.
The device is rooted and I have ROM Manager installed. I have given Terminal Emulator superuser permissions... It just doesn't seem to want to boot into CWM Recovery. I have tried using both ROM Manager as well as NOVO7 Tools to boot into it but I get the same results (device just reboots normally)
I think that it might be something to do with the stock ICS 4.0.4 that came with the device.that is causing me so much hastle.

I'm having trouble booting my LG Optimus G into recovery mode. I've rooted the phone and installed ClockworkMod recovery. When I try to boot into recovery, either from the ROMmanager app or by holding Volume Up and Power, it comes up with the LG logo and gives this error: Secure Booting Error! Cause: boot certification verify. It just stays like that until I press and hold the power button again until the phone shuts off entirely. Then I'm able to boot into the stock operating system and the phone works fine, but I can never get it to boot into recovery.
The error I mentioned above seems to be a well documented error on the internet, but it seems like other people that are having the trouble are completely bricking their phones. Mine is able to come out of it. All the solutions I'm finding pertain to a phone that's completely bricked and involve taking the phone back to stock. My phone works fine with the stock ROM, but I'd like to play with some custom ROM's.

I have tried holding down the volume buttons and power button several times the past three days and nothing. The device vibrates and nothing happens. If I continue to hold the buttons then it vibrates every 6-7 seconds. I also tried to get into fastboot using a toolkit in our development section with no luck. The toolkit says I'm in fastboot when connected, but nothing is on my screen.
At this point I am at a complete loss. If I can't get it to work is that a valid reason for replacement by Google?

After unlocking my phone's bootloader and flashing the kernel:
When I power off the phone, it gets into a state where I cannot control it by itself (black screen, no charging light if connected to a power source, does not react in any way to any key).
However, I am able to access it via adb over USB. Using adb, I can put it into some other state (reboot, reboot bootloader, etc) and again gain control over it (also through its own keys). When I select the "power off" function of the bootloader, it enters this state again.
I can even reboot the phone (also into recovery/bootloader/fastboot) from any state
So I can use the phone, but I can't power it on by itself, which isn't a good situation when I don't have a computer around.
device: HTC One S
ROM: CyanogenMod 10 (device is officially supported by CM10; I used the version I found in the Wiki.)
kernel: The one included in CM10 (had to be flashed manually via fastboot because of restrictions by the device; I flashed the kernel before flashing the ROM)

I am looking to compile a new kernel for this device. I have pulled off the boot.img file from /dev/block/nandc and used split_bootimg.pl to pull apart the kernel and the boot ramdisk. I have used extract-ikconfig to get the kernel config and built my new 3.4 kernel (with modules). So far so good...
I have tried to build the new boot.img file with no avail. My concern is with the original kernel as the new one should be build the same (I think). It looks like it is not compressed as I run the command
file boot.img-kernel
It returns
boot.img-kernel: data
So it is not a Linux kernel ARM boot executable zImage
Is this correct? Can Android boot with this or is the split_bootimg.pl tool not creating the file correctly (it does pull the ramdisk as I have uncompressed it fine! and the file does contain the kernel config)
Ok So assuming I can create a proper boot.img with my built zImage and the old ramdisk, what do I need to do with the modules? Do I update the boot.img on the tablet and copy the modules over to the existing /system/lib/modules? (this appears to not work)

i have problem with my Novo 7 Paladin. One week ago i installed Google Maps update. After that my tablet was very strange. Sometimes when it go to sleep it won't wake up. I had to press power on again. Later that week there was some graphical glitch on screen (blinking colors). And now i can't boot at all. So i tried the SD card method to recover system. The problem is that i can't boot. Combination of keys like VOL+ and POWER or VOL+ and RESET doesn't work. Then i tried the original USB Boot Tool from Ainol. This tool doesn't work either.
USB Boot Tool
1) install correct USB drivers (press VOL+ and plug USB) select drivers from tool/drivers/4770
2) unplug USB and start USBBootTool.exe
3) press VOL- and plug USB
4) it says BOOT... please waite0% (attachment boottool.JPG)
5) after some time of waiting the error apears (attachment boottool2.JPG)

I tried flashing back to an older rom I used before, but this time it said there was an error and wouldn't work. I tryed doing a restore and that didnt work either. Now when i try to reboot, it just gets stuck on the 3 skateboarders. And when i try to go into recovery it just shows the triangle with an exclamation point, instead of the old menu I used to have. Is it fixable or did I brick it?

I have a couple of devices that have gotten laggy over time, and after installing System Monitor, all evidence points to 100% disk I/O usage. Something is reading/writing to memory constantly, pegging it at near 100%... but that's all I can determine.
Is there a app, or technique I can use that would show per-app I/O usage?

I have an eris flashed with PB00IMG and I believe I have root access. I am able to remove apps through terminal. I cannot get the google maps to update. I have removed maps.apk, htcnavi.apk and com.google.android.maps.jar. I have removed these separately and all together. I have been able to get it to update before, but I reflashed the PB00IMG because I could not get youtube videos to play without the stock browser. I got the youtube videos working again but cannot remember how to get the maps to update again. I wanted to try flashing different roms. I have downloaded a couple, placed them on the sdcard, and booted but I cannot get them to boot.
