Sooooo... Anyone have any idea how I can get my data onto my sd card without an sd card reader from my linux box? I havn't rooted yet but will be shortly, but there HAS to be a stock way to do it? Besides kies?
question section seems appropriate for.. umm questions

Well.. crap.. yes.. yes you are correct. I am dumb.
tons of free and paid apps to make the phone an ftp server - and with 802.11n and a/c you can ahul ass over wifi.

So far not much luck with Archlinux.
mtp detects it, but gives me usb errors attempting to mount it with any of the mtpfs alternatives.
mtp-connect fails as well to do anything other than detect it.
Wonder if we need a newer libmtp or if I'm doing something wrong. Wish I had my nexus with me to test.

Help: Is it possible to flash android OS without use of an SD Card? SD slot isnt working in my kaiser due to flex problem..reading through the help guide..seems impossible to proceed with the NAND due to use of SD card..thanks
I haven't seen anyone do that yet, but I'm sure something could be worked out. The problem is if you were to get "androidinstall.tar" directly on the NAND, there would be almost no room left for the install to take place.
not possible yet,

It's nice that you are trying to be helpful but please at least READ the message before making a post. The op indicated he could not do a normal install because his SD slot is broken therefore pointing him to the tutorial that requires using a sd slot makes no sense.
You can't do it, i already answer to this question in another thread!
Search button is your friend.
Thanks for the replies and for the one who defended..am no starter for flashing roms though..and i know how to search..was just asking if its possible..felt sorry for my poor old kaisier..
My apologies

I apologize for my work computer being stupid. I was replying to another thread and it posted it here. Was wondering where it went and now I know...lol.
Work computers running XP and IE7 no less, lots of page refresh issues.
after some research unrevoked3 seems to be the easiest way to root my HTC Desire.
but there are no instructions on how to use it... i know you just download the software and install the drivers etc... but i mean what state does it leave my phone in?
will it have all of its text messages saved, settings saved, etc...
will my sd card be wiped completely should i back it up? should i buy a cheap one to root it with etc...
i know 2.3 is coming out soon for HTC Desire but my phones branded with vodafone. should i just debrand it and wait for an offical update?
ive been wanting to root my phone for a while but ive got no idea which roms are best or anything.
how do i back up my sd card? how do i save my texts to the sd card for back up?
any help will be appreciated thanks.
Hi welcome to the site. There is a wealth of information in these forums and sometimes it is hard to single out exactly what you are looking for. Read this to start and then ask some specific questions. Seek much advice before rooting yourself.
i was there 3 months ago and now i flash and customise with reckless abandonment!
Unrevoked3 is definitely the easiest way. You can find quick guide for this method in Cyanogenmod wiki 'Full Update Guide' (google it)...
hi , just follow these vids , it makes it really easy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084
thanks guys, ive been wanting to root for ages as well but i fininally decided to do it recently
right after trying to use unrevoke3 it came up with a write error. basically saying it cant write the new file.
after more search it is because there isnt enough room. after i deleted a few apps i had 70mb free phone memory and 8gb free sd card memory.
ran unrevoke3 again, same error.... i dont know what i could be doing wrong =\

No. You might do yourself a favor by creating a goldcard and keeping it safe.
Looking for a good and safe or at least as safe as you can get root method. I'm running the latest android 4.1.2 and I've been reading some of the root methods mess with your camera, bluetooth and the call quality and I really don't want to mess those up my main reason for wanting to root is to get rid of samsung & at&t's bloatware any info or help is greatly appreciated.
there are endless posts and threads about this subject; you really need to search for your answers before asking a simplistic question like this..
Thanks for your help I appreciate it

Not just this....but READ!!
The best thing to do is to research ALL or at least a few different root methods.
Hell check out how it's done on other phones just to see how basically the same method is applied to different phones.
The toolbox is great but if you dont understand whats actaully going on
(When you figure it out youll be like wth?? Thats all it doing?)
Read, read and re-read
Should be the mantra of xda.
Im not just talkin instructions on how to "one click" either...
"But why freakboy13?"
Because when you run into issues you'll have a better understanding of whats going on, and maybe...just maybe...
Fix it on your own!!:thumbup:
Good luck and post back!!

Did ya read through the thread first?
(especially about the part of removing kies before using? )
Which card got encypted?
You have more than one.

(Time And Relative Tarts In Space)
No I didn't I have a bad habit of jumping into things head first I only have 1 card it a 64GB SanDisk so should I try rerooting it with Kies removed
Well on the toolkit thread it does say to remove kies before using.
So you are stock rooted correct?
And your only issue is an encrypted ext sd card
( by ninjas im guessing? ).
Are you sure its encrypted or is it corrupted?
Is your pc telling you this via password request or other dialog?
I know ive read the gs3 have issues with some 64gb cards but not gn2.
Idk
Did you format the card on the phone before you used it?
Edit: you have taken the card out and tried to read it via other means like dif phone, pc, card reader, etc. , right?

Yes I was stock rooted but I unrooted this morning. I'm not totally sure if my card is corrupted or just encrypted my phone does read the card and I can retrieve stuff off of it I haven't taken the card out of my phone and put it in the card reader itself but I hooked my phone to my pc and it reads the card that way I have seen on another thread were a person's card was encrypted and they were able to decrypt it but for some reason I'm not able to do that I'll check out that S3 thread and see if I can figure something out I really appreciate you offering me help my last phone I rooted was an HTC inspire so I'm not totally stupid just a little bit ha ha
my galaxy note 2 is rooted... is it safe to upgrade firmware via kies.. kies detected that i have a 4.1.1 firmware and i should upgrade it to 4.1.2 firmware.. should i click update?
You will lose root if the update is taken. ..
Root and updates don't play well together. ..

If you are on a stock rom and root is all you have and if you have a STOCK recovery you are fine.
As poster above said you will loose root.
Make sure you have a stock recovery.
How do i know if I have stock recovery?
Well .... if you didnt install cwm or twrp then you should be gtg.
Easy to check though.
Just boot into recovery!
Just make sure kies properly recognizes your phone and you should be golden.
Let us know how it goes!

Hi guys.
Could we please get a write-up on some technical info about the internal arrangement of the Galaxy S3?
Which partitions exist and how are they mounted?
How is the Internal SD card being used?
Where are the installed apps located?
What's involved in installing a .APK file?
How do you move an installed app from internal to external storage?
How do you wipe out the entire phone storage and memory and restore it to factory settings?
What do you do when your internal storage runs low?
When do you use ODIN and when do use use Recovery mode?
What is the USB Debug setting used for?
How come some models can have custom ROMS while others cannot?
How do you boot the cell from an external SD card in case normal bootup and custom recovery fail?
I'd like to have explanations to all of the above, along with addition suggested information
in one easy-to-access location, without having to search the entire forums for bits and pieces.
Can we do this? Is this even feasible?
I'd love to see this happen!
Thanks everyone! :good:

For the simple reason that only the developers have the answers, and I am not a developer.
If I were, I wouldn't have made the initial post.
That's not true, most of what you asked about can be found with a little searching and most people here are not developers, just users with knowledge.

I have to agree with metalfan78 on this one. The guide is very much possible to put together and I'm sure that if you or someone else decides to put this guide together that if search doesn't find the answer to question that a quick pm to a developer will!

Alright here is a noobish questions for you:
I also own a Note 4 along with this Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, is there anyway to get the Note 4 Stylus to work on this tab?
Sent from my SM-T900 using XDA Free mobile app
Was wondering if there were any root methods out there for the SM-T520 that does not trip the Knox counter. The tablet did not come with Knox software installed, but in download mode I see that there is a Knox counter (currently still 0x0).
Just switched to Samsung 12.2 tablet. Is there a way to boot this tablet from the SD card, in anticipation of flashing other (maybe Cyanogen) updates to it? Any link to an bootable file to be flashed to an SD card would be appreciated. Hopefully, I'd be able to use this to make a backup, too.

OS on SD card

I'd like to be able to boot the tablet from and SD card, rather that have it boot from the operating system.
I'm hoping that the tablet looks to the SD card for an operating system first (many tablets do). If it finds one there, it will boot from it, rather than in the usual away.
This requires an OS that I can burn to the SD card, of course.
I'm wondering if this is possible with a Samsung tablet, and if it is, if you know where I could find a simple recovery that I could write to the SD card. Something like TWRP, or CM (Cyanogen), for example.
TWRP, for example, would allow me to backup the whole tablet to this same SD card, then moving on, I could then flash a new OS, maybe Google Android Lollipop.
Best,
Roger
