Hello,
Just re-flashed my S3 with a 4.4 ROM - ODIN - from a CM Nightly - 01 JAN 14 - and for some reason the ROM doesn't like the sdcard formatting.
Googl'ing about has not yielded any results, anyone had this issue or something similar?
Thanks,
Aaron
I saw something somewhere (sorry cant recall exactly) person with same/similar question and that a reformat did the job. I want to say they reformated to fat32. (universal catch-all IMO) I just wrestled down the ridiculous root process for the 4.3 upgrade, so formated a couple of sd cards to see what if anything popped up at me. ext2/no (micro and sd10) , ext4/spotty (micro sd/yes, sd10/no) , fat32/yes (micro and sd10)
I just migrated to sprint from verizon so still getting my feet wet with /dev/d2spr. Im no stranger to the bootloader/bypass/bullsh*#, so knox and what they are trying to accomplish with making sprint more enterprise friendly may be some source of further exploration into why changes are here and moving forward.
For we linux-minded / gparted is just a right click and refresh away... hope this helps. just remember to refresh encryption efforts (if applies to you) Some crypts are friendlier to some formats than others. dont want to think something is secured when it isn't ....anymore.

Android boot error "micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used"
I've been battling this error again and again whenever I tried another Android release, and since there are no real answers around, but some others have the same problem, which according to searches mostly goes unanswered in bigger threads, I decided to go ahead and dedicate one thread to it.
Problem: After installing Android and running it, its boot ends up in an eternal loop displaying
Code:
micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used
.
Setting: German Rhodium. Initially an Energy ROM. Since I thought it might be something from the ROM, the latest one is Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan.
8 GB SD from Kingston. Since this was named as a possible problem, tried with 1 GB SD (Kingston) as well.
Reformatted SD and restarted from scratch.
Tried Android versions:
Project Android 030810.cab
Project Android 033110.cab
[MJG]Rhod.Eclair.Rebuild033110.3.rar
plus various older ones (with different base name, xAndroid or something like that?) already deleted.
Tried to disable 3D Hardware during boot.
Another suggested workaround to use specific files from older releases; these I could no longer find on the net.
To sum attempts up:
Tried different (?) Android releases (xAndroid, Project Android) - fail
Tried small SD card (1 GB) - fail
Tried SanDisk instead of Kingston SD card - pending
Tried to reformat SD card (with SD card formatter) - fail
Tried to disable 3D Hardware - fail
Tried WinMo ROM labeled as created for Android (Energy.RHODIUM.21889.Android(ULTRA_LITE_ROM)_28.Jan) - fail
Tried to insert SIM card (was missing) - fail
Tried to update HardSSL (Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe) - fail
Information:
(forum prevented me from adding links to external information)
This forum, other members with same problem
Looking for: suggestions what else to try.

I have an AT&T Tilt2, stock rom, 8GB SanDisk. I see a very similar message when booting xdandroid, but mine continues to boot through, my boot sequence snippet runs like this:
Code:

Priority:-1 extents:1 across: 102392k
[ 26.484039]Something used micropklt_lcd_ctrl: This function should no longer be used
USING EXPERIMENTAL TILT2 LAYOUT
op: cannot stat '/init.etc/keymaps/tilt2_navi_pad.kl': No such file or directory
Touchscreen device directory is /sys/class/input/input2
Then continues to the screen calibration. I know I'm not helping directly, but perhaps can help lead others to clues ?
i already started a topic for this exact error....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632128
So far no one has come up with a solution...
Oh, sorry, I searched the forum a few times, but mus have forgotten that thread, otherwise I would've posted there as well...
From what I can read there, maybe I should try a SanDisk instead of Kingston SD? Or is it SD vs. SDHC? Anyway, I just ordered a 2 GB SanDisk from Amazon (smallest one I could get ) and will try this next...
I managed to solve it by reflashing the newest HardSPL. (In my case I had a corrupt microp firmware, casuing all kind of problems in WM as well).
It might not solve the problem for you, but it can't hurt either
My SanDisk SD has not yet arrived, but I tried to insert a SIM card (phone currently has none, since I' using another one while testing) - no changes.
Thanks for the HardSPL hint - tried as well. No Luck, but at least another topic to add to the "things I tried" list
Okay.. So, i tried HardSPL.
Task 29
Reloaded my Rom
Hard Reset
Formatted Memory Stick
Followed ALL instructions!
Nothing happened.
I then went back and tried an old version of android from this thread
I used the 12/20 2.01 version.
AAAANNND..... it loaded right away....
WHY does this old version work, and the new ones wont?
what is different?
Update: my SanDisk SD card arrived, so I loaded [MJG]Rhod.2.1Sense.042310.rar, extracted it to the card, and started it. Same problem. This means it does not seem like a Kingston SD card problem.
So... I tested, and can confirm that the old build you linked solved the problem for me as well!
I have searched this ENTIRE FORUM and read EVERY SINGLE GOD FORSAKEN post about this error. I am at my whits end!
Someone said they got it to work with a more current package and an old rootfs.img
I didnt try the same two builds they did, i tried the sense ui one and the old rootfs. from the build i said works. it did not work.
so i figured i would compare the two rootfs.img to see what the difference is.
however, i cannot open the contents in windows (from what i understand)
so i install UBUNTU on my computer.
I cant for the life of me figure out how to mount the damn image!
PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE! please look this up. i am frustrated beyond words.
if you can give me a way to compare these files in windows, i will be glad to do it.
I just cant stand windows mobile crashing all the mother f-ing time and i REALLY REALLY REALLY want to use android. Im sorry for being so frustrated. i have spent literally HOURS on this...
Anyone, anything?
Mount rootfs.img

You can mount image in terminal like this:
first create dir with:
mkdir /mnt/rootfs
then mount the image:
mount rootfs.img /mnt/rootfs/ -o loop
then change dir to /mnt/rootfs and you have the android FS.
i will also compare old and new rootfs so maybe we will found something!
BR
I still have this problem.
I tried what you said, but i keep getting errors. I cant seem to get it to work. I will again look through all the threads again, as well as the different websites i found from google. i will link them tomorrow when i get a chance. If anyone else has found anything, please let me know.
The latest kernel has the following commit message
"rewritten micropklt_lcd_ctrl calls to micropklt_set_misc_states calls"
So this might fix it for you guys?
It seems to have some other problems with sleep etc, but if it boots it is something
I see, thanks for looking, however, i still cant figure out how to mount and change things in ubuntu (sorry, i know i am a newb) would you be able to repackage it with the line changed to the old one? and upload it? i will check it out to see if it works.
It's alive!!
Download latest Android build with latest kernel from hxxp://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ and replace zImage and modules and thats it.
i didn't test it full, but it starts!
Thanks to Star-Lite for info!!!
BR
Ah yes it works! Beautiful beautiful!
Don't thank me, thank CaptNoord for fixing this in the kernel
I'm sure he has a donate button somewhere
I will donate as soon as the bills are past this month (a couple more days)
Out of plain curiousity, is there a reason why this error only happened on some devices and not others? Could it be from a hardware difference between maybe different revisions of the device?
use the right starup.txt file
Hi all. I'm still running cyanogenmod 7 RC1 on my Desire and decided it's time for the real thing as it's becoming more and more unstable.
1. I guess I'll use ROM Manager to download and install - I assume this will completely wipe the device. Is there a way to upgrade from RC1 to final release?
2. I've never been able to download large apps. I think it's because my SD card isn't partitioned. I cannot find out where to do that, and WHEN to do this in the process. - Any advice would be really good.
Sorry for the numpty questions! Keep up the good work everyone!

Hi,
i dont use rom manager for that (i used to download whit the PC and put in the SD and later wipe manually in the recovery and flash the new rom, but if you like to do in the rom manager i think that you also can do)
2ยบ whit the ROM manager you can do a ext 2/3 partition of 512mb whit no swap, but it will formatt all your SD so you need to save your data in the PC, in the other hand i prefer to use Gparted (you need a Cd and download the iso) its very usefull and you can make 1024mb ext4 whit no swap
I hope this will help you
sorry about my english ^^
I cannot find out where to do that ????

This is a bit of a joke. You resurrect a 7 month old thread to give bad advice IMHO (See My signature) which I notice you were thanked by evgen-baton for. I remembered seeing that user thank you in another post I quoted earlier.
I thought this was quite suspicious so I looked and sure enough, all of your thanks are from this person, today. His account has been following you around all day, thanking your posts.
Is evgen-baton your alter ego? If not, you have a stalker.

Hi,
I have searched far and wide for weeks trying to find a solution to issues I am having on a Samsung Galaxy S2 T989 (Telus) - unlocked and being used with a Rogers SIM. Android version 2.3.5 | Kernel version 2.6.35.11
I bought a 32 GB memory card (formatted and mounted before using)
When trying to access gallery of photos taken on the phone (I have not added any content from my computer) it gives me the message "not enough memory, delete some items". This also occurs when I try and dl a wallpaper using Zedge.
I have gone through forums that have said to move items over to the "external SD", and when I do that in "Files" it doesn't seem like they are actually being moved over. I have tried to move apps from the phone to the internal SD, and eventually get a message telling me that there is not enough memory on the SD.
I am also unable to connect to Kies (not sure if working on a Mac is part of the issue) and understand this is to be Samsung file manager program. Is there an alternative to this?
I am fairly new to Android, and understand the OS operates quite differently from a computer, but I really feel like I am missing something. And apologize if the answer to my problems is really obvious, but I typically have no issue figuring these things out.
If someone could point me in the right direction, even to a forum or place that explains how it all works, I would really appreciate it. I would like this issue fixed asap, but I would also like to understand why it is happening and am happy to do the research or read about it to learn.
Thank you to anyone who can give me any kind of answers!!!
ODIN back to stock then flash whatever ROM you want to use. My wife's vibrant had the same problem for a while. The only way I could get files on and off was to pop out the sd card and stick it into my computer. After I ODINed back to stock and reflashed CM7 everything worked.
I decided to upgrade to the CM10.1M build and really like 4.2. Just noticed some functions that I really liked that are missing since the upgrade form CM10. Anyone know if these will come along or if they have been scratched?
1. Click to take a picture while recording a video.
2. Use as mass storage device under Settings--> Storage-->Options
3. Have the headphone jack reset to half volume on unplug.
Sorry if this is in the wrong area, haven't posted here often.
Thanks.
Hi!
Questions should be posted in the AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting section of this forum. If I were you, I would use the "Report this message" function to nicely ask a moderator to move your thread to the corresponding section.

This most probably won't happen, because of how the device interacts with storage/partitions. Such an option might eventually get implemented for external SD card only, as the extSD is on its own partition. You may be interested in EasyUMS, which enables mounting the extSD card as an MSC device.
Technically, this should have went in the cm bug report thread. No need to open a new one. And as for the usb options, it existed previously. It simply has not been implemented on cm10.1 yet.

Thanks, I will install EasyUMS today, its perfect for what I need. And you are correct, it only ever showed the ext card.
Appreciate it.

Thanks, didn't consider any of the missing options bugs. As with he USB, I just assumed they haven't been implemented yet. Not one to complain about an awesome OS that I've been given to for free!

I don't mean to repost i am not attempting to artificials gain the 10posts goal , i only just saw the sticky post regarding the Q/A section and where to post only after having originally posted or created a thread in the general section. i am looking to delete that thread but dont see the option - this is my primary thread

I did the 1 click root fix viahttp://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951
Generally it worked fine , the problem is that i did this with the explicit goal of only fixing the SD writing and storage issues
the phone only has roughly 2 gigs and 80% kitkat soaks up and not that im like app happy or anything but it makes app installation even weaker than an older cheaper phone thus killing a lot of the reason to have this fairly nice phone except for the camera which is fundamentally a non-prime reason to have this phone just a bonus.
So i installed the NextApp SDfix from the app store and applied its fix , and nothing especially changed , i also then installed link2SD
for further memory management. I can see a lot of info and i see how the system basically has the primary system memory with a legacy/emulated storage space as 2 seperate but basically same partition.
Then it recognizes as a entirely seperate ext memory the sd card , now since having tweaked with both these apps and everything generally running fine , i've moved this and that and dont have barely the basics installed i.e instagram/twitter/ ect ,... the system has about on the system drive some 300mb free obviously not a lot space in this age it is being very selective of what it will install and download from the app store , i was luckily able to reinstall CLEANMASTER after uninstalling it but i can't reinstall FACEBOOK
or download and install next to anything else that i've tried i keep getting the same error , the SD card is nearly entirely free with plenty of space soooooo
long story , made longer How can i adjust this , How can i maybe fool the o/s to think the SD card is the primary partition or something similar can i undo this? (not the root i know i can undo the root and or just start fresh from a hardreset or something
Any Input is appreciated , i am as the name so obviously suggests a new rooter not very experienced in android sw , though i was able to tweak around with iphone3s and jailbreak them which admittedly was rather fun.
Im only wanting this just so i stop getting that blasted insufficient storage error blasted google
this is technically a repost as i did post this in that said thread above but i wasnt sure if it was the right place for the inquiry
Hi! I saw your other post too. I can't answer your main question, but I can answer two of the others.
1. To have a thread or post of yours deleted, in a browser (not Tapatalk nor XDA app) choose the exclamation point on your post to report your own post to the moderator and then write them to ask that they delete it.
2. The other post in the one-click thread was slightly more appropriate since these are the LG G3 sections and at least that one is the one click method thread, but your main question has nothing to do with either so you should report this thread to have it deleted and create a thread in the Q&A section of the forum for your particular phone. The Link2SD thread might be another appropriate place, but only choose one place.
3. I know it wasn't intentional, but double posting is a definite no no. At minimum of noone responds to one post you should report your post to be deleted and then post the question somewhere else that's still appropriate. If your first post is a new thread, it's fine to reply (no quote) to your post by saying "Bump" in order for the forum to put the post back up to the top where people might notice it again. Bumping shouldn't be done before 48 hours.
Welcome to the forum anyway and I feel your pain, my first Android phone was more like a teaser Android with around 384 MB of ROM and no internal storage. Not politically correct and no offense meant to anyone but I refer to my first Android phone as the retarded little brother of the HTC Droid Incredible. It was the Droid Eris.
Good luck.
