[Q] Can't flash a ROM from TWRP

Hello there,
I was trying to install CM10 on my A100 but I messed it up.
I got everything right till TWRP installation, then I accidentally delete everything on my device, CM10 rom included. Now the only thing accessible is TWRP.
I understand from other posts of the forum that it should be still possible to flash a ROM choosing Mount from the menu, but I can't work out how.
I click on the mount tab, and I connect it to my computer via USB. My linux system recognises the tablet as a multimedia player, but it does not allow me to copy files on it. Changing the status of mounting System, Data and Cache does not change the behaviour. The option mount SD card is not selectable.
I have got TWRP 2.2.0, and my A100 does not have external SD.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

Do you have a microsd? Or twrp just won't see it. That would probably be the easiest option, load a ROM on the micro SD.
Did you make a backup first thing?
If your tab is in recovery, you should be able to use adb and push a ROM to the internal memory, but it is not recommended to flash from it. That's why I mentioned the microsd first.

Unfortunately not, no microSD slot. I do not even have a backup; in my clumsiness while I was following the procedure I skipped an entire paragraph and I jumped to the wiping section.
I will try to use ADB, I saw that there are few threads covering the procedure. Thanks for the tip, I'll be back with the results

Ok, all went well.
I followed the instructions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667929
with two minor corrections:
1 - as I did not have the /sdcard directory, I used the /data directory
2 - there was no need to add the ROM file name again after /data
thanks for help

Consider yourself lucky, that ROM has nothing to do with this device and would likely have killed it. Only use ROMs from the device forum of the device you're flashing. I mean go to the development section of the a100 and get a ROM there, not some random device ROM with a great name.

OK I think you ended up in the wrong forum then, this is for the Acer iconia A100, it has nothing to do or in common with those devices, you may wish to post in their forums for help.

[Q] I swapped memory of Galaxy W and I think it passed away!

I tried to swap storage of my phone and now, when I open my phone, it refreshes itself after reaching samsung animated logo.
Which means my phone is not opening, just restarting after Galaxy W logo.
This was what I did.
- Install Root Explorer
- Open root explorer, go to folder \system\etc
- Download modified vold.fstab :
- Open root explorer
- Tick mount R/W ( So that you can edit system file )
- Extract the content of the file that you download just now and overwrite original vold.fstab with the downloaded vold.fstab in the \system\etc folder.
- Tick mount R/O
- Restart your phone and enjoy.
After that, I flashed couple stock roms with Odin, it gave the same result. Am I right ? My phone is gone away

From where did you download the modified vold.fstab ?
Have a look here also.

do you set permission after doing that?..

if your phone can still boot to recovery,, why not reflash your back up..

I did the steps here
mygalaxywonder.blogspot.com/2012/02/how-to-swap-and-unswap-memory-in.html
I downloaded files from there too.
My phone was already rooted and permission was setted.
The phone does not accept any flash. I tried many stock Rom's too. Like Turkish one, Europe one.
Isn't there anyway to save my phone ?

[SOLVED] Dont worry
hey bro I faced the same problem and solved it easily
1-install CWM
2-boot into recovery
3-format /system and wipe cache and delvik cache
4-install new rom like CM-9-rc6 (prefered)
5-fix permissions
6-reboot
iam out now will be back in 2 hrs hope you can solve it

Yesss!! I succeed bro! You are the man Well, I understand that I should format system too which was the thing I forgot. Also, do you suggest CM 10 or something better for gaming ? Dude, I could not open games like Vice City or Shadowgun in my W. My internal storage is so small. Is there another ways to install games. Lighten me please!

Just swap the internal storage with your sd card and you will have bigger internal. If you are using cm9 go to settings > storage > press menu > there should be something like use external or such i don't remember > tick it and then restart

Official Wipe and Erase Help?

This is a weird question- So I factory erased my phone. No problem. I also booted into recovery Clockwork recovery on my S3 by ATT to wipe data hoping this would clear and wipe everything from my phone.
It did not.
So as I'm searching threads how can I clear my phone including the internal storage? Every time I've wiped my phone all the files including downloads, pictures, come right back... How is this possible???
Yes I am rooted but I'm not running any special ROMS.
So how can I fully clear my phone so it's 100% wiped?
Silly question I know...
**I should also mention that I know my files are not on the SD card* I'm not that stupid..LOL

Format options are either under advanced or mounts and storage.
Careful not to format your external though.

Ok I'll give it a go and see if that works.
** Thanks for the option** I was also able to format using the Format option in Windows. I never thought to do that as if an error would occur.
Thank you very much

Do you know of a way where I can view all of my files on the phones (ex: phone icon..system sounds such as ring tones etc)
Where the heck is that crap located? I have an ATT phone and I HATE those silly ring tones but I don't know how to get rid of them. It appears they are part of the system files.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 3 7" Swap ExternalSDCard 2 Internal

Title basically says it. I bought my wife a galaxy tab 2 about a year ago and used the guide from the link below to swap the internal memory with the sd card memory. I bought myself the galaxy tab 3 7" and have been looking for a tut to do the same thing. I haven't found anything that seems to work though. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

The script is pointing to the wrong location for SD card Dev/block/vold/179:25. If you are familiar with Odin and comfortable with the possibility of bricking or rendering your tablet unbootable, try editing that to 179:17 and running the script. I don't guarantee that will work, but that is the address of my ext SD running cm11 on a sm-t310.
Yours may be different on a 210. Run mount from terminal and hunt for the 179:XX for sdcard1 and verify before trying though.

I have edited the script to work with SM-T310 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607125. Post there your device node and I can edit for other Galaxy Tab 3 devices.

Yeah, just follow all the directions except edit those two characters IN THE SCRIPT. I've used this script with smanager perfectly on my old p3113, so thought I might get it to work on my sons.

Just a couple more questions if you don't mind:
Mine is a galaxy tab 3 sm-T210/sm-t21or. Does that change anything?
As long as I have a backup in twrp, i can always restore (in case something is royally screwed up), right?

I would test it and see if it works, then if it does, have it set to run at boot, but a backup never hurts. I just backed mine up before testing blackhawk kernel, which worked well on the kids tab3.

I didn't know that, I found out what my sons was while trying to use the internal2external app, as it lists all the mounts. I was half a sleep for my other posts, or I would of caught that last night. Anyways, good to know.

Run the command "mount" without quotes in terminal . Look for your sd card
And which device address it's using. Verify that 170:17 is your device node.

So I mounted ran "mount" in terminal emulator and it refers to anything on my external sd card as 179:73. (@zibrah3ed sorry I didn't catch that in your first post)
So I guess that's the number I need.
Thanks for your help guys.

I did it and it worked perfectly. Having one gta game on my phone no longer prevents me from installing other apk's. Thanks for all your help. I'm sure this will be useful to a lot of people with 8gb of internal memory.

I was wondering if you got it working. I noticed there is not much information about these tabs, compared to the tab 2, which is the last gtab I had. I bought my sons kids tab assuming it would have similar support. All that was really important was root/recovery and some sort of memory swap, as I loaded it with many of the games I have on my 32gb tab. I took back a nabi because sometimes the memory swap I was using wouldn't stick on reboot, and getting it going again would be to much for my 4 year old. Anyways, glad you got it going.

yeah, that is the same as mine. and it worked for me instantly. I have a 32 gb card, so maybe your 64 gb card is the issue. I wish I could help you more, but I'm just not too knowledgeable about this stuff.
Maybe one of the guys that helped me could jump in?

First of all you need to be rooted. Then you need to grant es file explorer superuser permission when it asks. then you go into /data folder. You should see a lot of files/folders in there. If you can't you probably aren't using es file explorer as a rooted user. Then you long select the script and select properties. then change permissions by checking read, write, execute (all 3 should be checked) under the owner option. Then so to smanager and continue the tut

[Q] nandroid backup for galaxay tab s wifi model

Hi everyone
I recently own a galaxy tab s (the wifi model ) and I was wanting to do a Nandroid backup before to root my device.
The problem is than there is no software like CWM and TWRP who support it...
Does anyone know one who support the nandroid backup for the tab s ?
Thank you for your help

None.

Yes,we have TWRP now .

Assuming you don't have TWRP installed just download
: Google playstore app called "Flashify"
: download "openrecovery-twrp-2.1.1"
File from the link I provided
Open the Flashify app and grant it superuser rights,than tap "Recovery IMG" and tap choose a file and navigate to the file you downloaded and tap "yup"
You now have TWRP
If you have TWRP installed than boot to recovery and hit "backup" and it will do the rest (reboot system after backup is complete).
: I prefer the "dd" method
Also I would add in your thread name witch WiFi model (SM-T700)or
(SM-T800)or add a signature to the bottom of your page

Just like plugging in a usb thumb drive. Only thing is to make sure you have the latest samsung usb drivers, which you can get from their website. You can also back it up to dropbox via the app (downloadabe from Playstore) which has free 50gb of storage for galaxy tab users.
