[TUTORIAL] How To Mount Or Read extSD Card In TWRP - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I DO NOT take any responsibility for anything you may do to your device.
As always, do a nandroid backup.
NOTE:
If you are someone who does not like or just doesn't choose to have Xposed installed, then this method will not work.
Lets go,
1.) Install Xposed Framework
2.) Open Xposed then download and install Wanap Xposed module
3.) Activate the module and reboot.
4.) Open Wanam and go to security hacks and check the box for SDcard RW permission, then reboot.
There may be other ways of going about the sd write/mount fix, but this method worked for me.
UPDATE:
Here may be another possibility as well. I am not sure if this fixes the issue where TWRP doesn't read/write or not. It is however, supposed to help with the extSD formatting though.

Complete Guide for Rooting and Flashing Custom ROM Galaxy Y GT-5360 for beginners

Tired of searching for a complete Guide to Flash JellyBlastv3 on your GT-S5360?
Well, I have something for you::::
Read On....
Warning: The Below Steps are only for Samsung Galaxy Y, GT-S5360
Performing any of the steps shall Void the Warranty of Your Device.
I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your Device or emotional loss or anything.
You are solely responsible for you actions.
The Following procedure has been tested by me and it is working correctly.

Warnings and Important Tips:
1. The process may and will erase all your data present on the device. Better backup your contacts, Messages, Calendar entries, Notes Etc. You may use Super Backup, Go Backup or SMS Backup & Restore. There are several other apps in the Market. I would recommend to backup using multiple apps.
2. A Computer should be within reach with internet. Also have a USB Cable. Wi-Fi is recommended.
3. Make sure the system is running Stock ROM and Stock Kernel.
4. Also make sure you are running latest version of android available. On Galaxy Y, it is 2.3.6
5. If not, you can update, by going into settings>about phone>software update. Sign in with Samsung Account. 6. Before proceeding further, make sure that the phone is fully charged (Recommended 70% at least). High Chances of damage are there if the device runs out of juice during flashing.
7. Proceed with caution. Avoid confusion. Follow the steps! Never Jump to next step before completing first!
8. Within Procedures if you think the battery is not enough (>70%), you can charge it before proceeding to next procedure. The Phone can’t be charged within an ongoing procedure.
9. Enable the USB Debugging option. Go to Settings>Development>USB Debugging. Check it every time.
10. It took me considerable time to type the detailed steps to make it easy for even a beginner. Be Generous.
DO NOT FORGET TO PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON! :laugh:
I. Root
Rooting is a process by which you can get root access or administrator privileges to your Android phone and can flash tweaks, custom ROMs, custom kernels, install additional applications which requires root, use firewall etc.
Root will void your phone’s warranty but it doesn’t matter you can get it back! (Google unroot)
1. Download the the update.zip file to your SD Card (not in any folder). I have attached it with the post.
2. Switch off your phone & boot into recovery mode.
3. Press Vol Up + Power Key + Home button together at the same time to boot in recovery mode.
4. Touch screen is disabled here.
5. Use volume keys for scrolling & home button for selection.
6. Select Apply update from SD card.
7. Select update.zip (which you have downloaded).
8. When it shows Installed from SD Card complete written.
9. Select reboot system now.
10. Your phone will restart & first boot may take 5 minutes. (Mine took a few seconds!)
11. Check for an application Superuser and open it.
12. Go to Menu > Preferences > SU Binaries> Update binaries.
13. SU Binaries will update. (You need active data connection or Wi-Fi)
14. When it get updated, restart your phone.
You’re done! Your phone is now rooted.
Warning: Do not delete Superuser or you will lose your root!
II. Flash ClockWorkMod
ClockWorkMod is a Custom Recovery which lets you Flash Custom ROM, Kernels etc.
Note: This is temporary. Every time you need CWM, you have to flash it again. (For your convinience, keep it in the SD)
Instructions:
1. Enable USB Debugging by going to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development - Enable USB Debugging.
2. Download the CWM Recovery.zip file and Place that file on the root directory of your SD card. (Attached)
3. Switch off your phone .Then boot into recovery mode, (hold Volume up button + Home button + Power button).
6. Select "apply update from SD card ", find the zip file you copied to your SD card earlier.
Once done, it will give you the option to reboot your phone, reboot and you're done!
You got CWM installed, you can now flash custom ROMs.
III. Backup Stock ROM
In case, if anything happens to your device while flashing Custom ROM, backup of Stock ROM serves as a contingency plan. The Backup can be used to recover damaged device via Odin. (Now don’t ask me what’s Odin)
It can also be used to return to the Original State if ever you wish to revert back.
1. Boot into CWM by Flashing CWM again.
2. Go to Backup/Restore
3. Select Backup Current ROM. It will take a while and then it’s Done! The size of the Backup File depends upon the no. of apps installed. Generally should be around 200-400 MB.
IV. Flash Custom ROM (JellyBlastv3 by Avijit Ghosh)
DOWNLOADS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679563
INSTALLATION GUIDE:
1. Make sure that you're on Stock kernel. Stock = Factory version.
2. Remove a2sd or data2sd and format your 2nd partition if you have it.
3. Place the above file to your SD Card (NOT IN ANY FOLDER!!!)
4. Switch off your phone.
5. Flash Clockwork mode.
6. Wipe data/factory reset.
7. Wipe cache partition.
8. Go to Advanced options and Wipe Dalvik cache.
9. Go to mounts and storage->select mount/system and mount/data.
10.Now choose: Install zip from sd card.
11. Choose JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip and choose yes.
12. Keep your fingers crossed and pray.
It will be installed. Now reboot your phone. First boot will take time. Be patient.
V. Install OTA
Over The Air Updates are the updates that are released after the ROM to fix bugs and problems or to make minor changes.
Important: Apply the OTA Updates in serial-wise manner to avoid bricking.
1. Download OTA 1, OTA 2, OTA 3, OTA 4.1 and OTA 5 and place them in your SD Card.
2. Boot into CWM, Select “Install .zip from SD ” and select OTA 1. After Completion, Device will Reboot.
3. Repeat Similar Steps OTA 2, 3,4, and 5.
4. You are Done! Now you are Running the latest version of the Custom ROM available.
5. You can check for updates in OTA updater.
VI. Partitioning SD Card
On SGY GT-S5360, the Internal Memory is too low (190 MB). Every time you try to update the apps or try to Install new apps, you get the annoying message saying “ Internal Memory Full, delete some apps”. This is where Link2sd comes to the rescue!
There are also Similar apps available on the Market, but here we will be using Link2SD.
There are several ways to partition SD card, but here we will be using CWM.
Note: You need a rooted device, well doesn’t matter we have already rooted.
Note: This method will erase all your data on SD, so better backup it
1. Boot into CWM recovery.
2. Select Advanced options.
3. Select Partition SD Card.
4. Choose the partition size. (1024 recommended)
5. Choose the Swap size. (0 M)
6. Select “Yes”. It will take a while and then you are done! Reboot your phone.
7. Open Link2SD (or Download it from the Market). A pop-up will appear, choose ext3 (ext4 is fastest but ext3 is most compatible). Then Reboot.
8. Open Link2SD, Go to settings , then tick Auto Link.
9. Below in Auto Link settings click on all the three- Link App file, Link Dalvik Cache, Link library files.
10. Also set the Default location to external.
11. You are done. You can also link some of the existing user apps to the partition.
Now all your user applications will be linked to the SD Card, saving your precious internal memory space
Also Don’t forget to Grant Link2SD superuser permissions.
YOU ARE DONE! RESTORE YOUR BACKUP & ENJOY!!
NOW DON’T BE SELFISH! PRESS THE THANKS BUTTON!!!
The ROM has been made available by Dev Avijit Ghosh. Do not forget to thank the developer for his effort.

You have forgotten the most important step in flashing any zip file in cwm
Go into mounts and storage and mount system and data before you choose a zip from sd card
Also the links to jb v3 have been removed due to rule brakes - I suggest you base your guide on another rom

Mount system allows cwm to write to the system folder of your phone
Some versions of cwm when cwm is flashed have system already mounted which is probably why you got away with it
If system is not mounted the zip will still appear to of flashed but nothing will of changed

the thing is in 'permanent' cwm kernels(like savie) /system won't be auto mounted therefore you'll have to mount it manually for successfull flash as cwm can't write onto an un mounted partition . The problem doesn't seem to exist with temporary cwms.

CWM Rom Manager
Hey I would just like to know! I used this then after some reading I would like to install the rom manager from Play Store. I tried it but it seems that my Galaxy Y is not supported then it asked me if I already installed one. Is it ok to also use rom manager with this method?

I already change my ROM feom stocm to cm7, then i decide to partition my memory
But sadly after i did the partition steps you provided here, i lost 2gb from my sd and i check the link2SD storage info and found 2nd partition not mount. I click cleanup 2nd partirion too but i receive error message /data/sdext2 mount not found. I tried to mount it in CWM but nothing happens, what should i do? My internal is already full now

[Q] xposed framework on C1905, 15.4.A.1.9, rooted, LB, deodexed

I want to install xposed framework on M Single, C1905, 15.4.A.1.9 (4.3), locked bootloader, rooted (Towel root), deodexed.
Has anyone tried with the same model number and specs that i mentioned above?
I don't want to risk and end in a bootloop. I have moved all updated apps to system ROM to save space on internal storage.
Titanium backup will only backup apps & settings on internal, but not in system ROM.
I don't want to root, deodex and move updated system apps again.
This is the installation procedure i will follow:
1) Install the Xposed .apk - (2.6.1. stable) de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v32_de4f0d.apk (711.77 KB) from http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
2) Open Xposed and tap Framework
3) Make sure Installation Mode is on Classical (change it if it isn't)
4) Tap Install/Update, let the framework install.
5) Reboot

I didn't want to wait any longer, so i did it. I can confirm that it worked. No problem at all.

Enabling XinternalSD on MM rom

-edit : this method is already outdated. you can use xinternalSD version 4.4 for marshmallow support without flashing ExtSD fix-
Download latest version of ExtSD fix from here and flash it
Flash xposed, and install newest xinternalSD (4.0) from xposed installer
Open XinternalSD, checklist Custom path to internal, Enable for all app, include system apps, and full access ext.
Dont forget to set path to internal SD with your sdcard path (you can check it with built in documents app)
Checklist xinternalsd on xposed installer > module
reboot, and boom. fully worked xinternalSD
tested on my phone with Dirty Unicorn 10.2 and works well with all of my app (yes, including whatsapp)

Apps not uninstalling after root

as

if you want to replace kingroot with supersu,
download kingroot & supersu from this thread... check that threads attachment for links..
Read that thread carefully... & uninstall current kingroot or reinstall this new downloaded kingroot..
& only follow all steps of kingroot replacement with supersu...
reboot your device once before following his steps!
OR
if you only want to uninstall any apps.. download & grant root access to System app remover (ROOT) & remove apps you want to remove.... also check & empty that app's recyclebin..

Hey y'all,
I rooted my phone with Kingroot and I was trying to get SuperSU on it. I tried a ton of different methods like SuperSU Me but it didn't end up working so I settled on Kingroot.
I was trying to uninstall Google Apps I don't use with Titanium Backup but every time I try, it just doesn't remove itself. I tried using Kingroot's version to remove the apps but that didn't end up working either.
I know my root works because I can use Root Checker and terminal emulator to 'su'.
Any suggestions would help!

You may have a partition mounting error.
If you have twrp recovery then goto the mount section and make sure system and data can be mounted. If yes then it may be a permission for R/W access for system.
I had all kinds of issues getting permission to write to /system.
You need to start by getting rid of King root. I used it to root initially also but swapped to super su. I also installed busybox the app. If the app can install the busybox tools then you should be good to go.
Also check a root file manager for the ability to mount "root file system"
If you have a terminal app then you can check your partitions permissions my typing 'su' then 'mount'. The mount will display the current state of all partitions without making any changes.

Titanium backup unable to get root permission from sytemless superSU

Hello,
First of all, I'm terribly sorry to ask my question here since I'm really not sure this question has its place here, but I'm a bit at loss on where to ask or what to do. Please indulge me and tell me if there's a better place for my question.
I'm using Liquid Remix 9.0.3-20180201 on a OnePlus 3.
I have installed SuperSU 2.82 systemlessly with SuHide.
All of my apps needing root have the right to see SuperSU and are granted root permissions when they ask.
My only problem lies with Titanium Backup. When I start it, it does not ask for root permissions and shows a pop-up saying that it couldn't get root permission, indicated it tried to run "/system/bin/.ext/.su".
If I rename this file, then I see Titanium backup properly asking for root privileges (but I didn't manage to revert back the name in time).
If I reinstall superSU in "sytemfull" mode, then it works properly (but I really want systemless to avoid some games rejecting my participation).
I don't know what to do to address that issue.
I tried to change SuperSU parameters but it didn't helped.
I tried to contact Titanium backup but they ignored my requests.
If any of you have an idea, I'd take it.
I'm not sure I should ask Chainfire because he would tell me that's a Titanium Backup issue, and Titanium Backup could as easily throw away the issue (provided they would acknowledge my queries) in saying that's a problem with systemless SU.
Thanks in advance.

If you are running Oreo and I suspect you are, then only Magisk will solve your problem.
Chainfire is no longer associated with SuperSU, so asking his help may not solve the issue.
And to my knowledge, it is not an issue for TiBU since it runs alright with Magisk.

You are running android Oreo if yes use magisk

Thanks for your answer. I'll try that.

Magisk works or not

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/cant-open-titanium-backup.529927/
Summary:
- uninstall app
- delete data folder of titanium backup in /data/data.
- reinstall app

If you still have problems with titanium backup then try using an app called oandbackup its in the f-droid repository its free and works perfect with Oreo.

Newest version of magisk master v22 all in one apk solved my problem.
When patching boot it installs in the /sbin folder.
Go here to get https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v22.0
Read the install guide. https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html
Do NOT delete the IO file in system/xbin if it is there. Your system needs it.
Titainum backup looks for su in system/bin or system/xbin and won't install.
Look in system/xbin and if you see the file su you need to delete it and titanium backup will then install.
Also if it's in there Magisk will tell you that there are 2 su's and you need to uninstall the other one.
You can type su in terminal to get # then type which su to confirm where su is installed.
To remove su from /system/xbin
In a terminal type su hit enter...then
# mount -o rw,remount /
rm /system/xbin/su
go to the xbin in a file explores to confirm its deleted. if so then reboot
file system should go back to read only.
You can also in a terminal after you confirmed x/binsu is deleted type
su then mount -o ro,remount / to change back to read only.
Titanium backup should install.
I'm not a developer. I've learned from the forums
and by many hours of trial and error.
Hope this helps someone.
