Stuck in a loop... - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running 2.03 and my browser started crashing so I did a reboot. Now I keep looping between the ViewSonic screen and gtablet screen. I've tried several restores through ClockWorkMod and it still doesn't work. I thought I could try to do the upgrade.zip off of a sd card but how do I get the system to recongize it and not the internal memory?

Stupid question : Have you done a user data wipe/system data wipe from CW?
If cw is not seeing the internal sd and the updates located on the internal sd are not working with full users data wipe, then a nvflash push from pc will have to be done to vanilla tnt, then do an update to get clockwork back, then tnt lite 2.0 with clockwork?

You might need to do a re-partition of your SD card (or rather, of the internal SD card memory) from clockwork mod. That has gotten other people out of a boot loop. This most likely has something to do with partitions getting corrupted, which seems to occasionally happen when you are flashing ROMs. You might want to search the forum for SD card partition and boot loop, I know several people have had the same issue.
There is also the APX mode as a backup mechanism if that fails. Search forum for that one too - it's basically a backup to the normal CW or other recovery that lets you flash a fresh ROM even if all else has failed. But I don't think you need to go there if your recovery is still working fine.

Yes, tried nearly everything I can in Clock and nothing changes the loop. I thought in the worst case you could always find a way to get the system back to it's original state but no luck so far.

another option is this

I have never done the partiton of my sdcard... so I guess that might work also.

HELP!!! I think my data partition just go hosed, all I tried to do was restore a backup since I was getting a lot of FC, all trying to access my data folder according to logcat....what do I do, will redoing the partition of my sdcard fix the errors below. How do I repartition and what settings do I use? I was trying to do the restore since I too got stuck in reboot loop. I have the logcat ouput if any dev is interested in seeing it.
Trying to restore backup in clockworkmod I get this:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore

rc, thanks for the help. Honestly partitioning is something I've never fully understood so I wasn't even sure how to do that. I went into CW and then advanced settings and chose to partition the sd card. The only problem is I didn't know what settings to use so I just used the first ones to pop up. After doing that I did a reboot and things worked fine.
I was going to go back and try a CW restore and see if I could get everything back but now it can't find the restore file. I assume that happened when I tried to reformat the card.

The restore files were are stored on the internal sdcard, so when you formatted, you wiped them out...is my guess. You could have used adb to save them off before hand and then put them back after format.

For the benefit of others, here is how I fixed this:
-Boot into clockworkmod
-Used adb to copy off all sdcard files (including backup files to use in restore)
-Use CW to partition the sdcard (2048mb ext, 256mb swap)
-Tried to copy backup files back...see issues below
-Restore backup files
-Back to working tab
Two issues I had, one is that for the life of me, I could not get the backup files back onto the sdcard. adb must not like windows because it had issues copying the files back unless you copy them to the root of the device. Even then I tried to shell into the device and move the files to the sdcard, but then CW would not see the files, when I reboot the device and try again, the files were gone. I tried to just copy the update.zip file, again CW didn't see the file, and reboot caused it to disappear as well. I managed to mount the tab in USB mode and copy the files to the sdcard using windows. Afterwards CW didn't see the files either.
I figured the system image was good, rebooted to start from scratch, and the setup program ran. I tried to tap the screen bu nothing would happen. Issue two from the log, is that it the setup wizard ignores touch evens if there is no phone interface...reboot again, back into CW, and this time it saw my backup files, restore, then good to go.
My next step would have been to delete the setupwizard apk, wipe data, boot into android, copy backup files, reboot, restore, but not needed finally.

Have other people run into the above issue where you copy files to the sdcard uin adb while within CW, and the files don't stick. How do you get around this?

raydog.. thank you thank you thank you

thanks
raydog, your post helped greatly. thank you.

Thanks, sad to say I am back in a reboot loop, so I have to do this all over again...uggg
I have shut my tablet off by holding down the power button and bypassing the shutdown screen, wonder if this corrupted the data partition.

I had the reboot problem when trying to load 2.0.0
My fix: Loaded original vanilla via sdcard (took two load tries) then retried 2.0.0 via sdcard and it worked.

please help to make my data read write

[DEV] Sony Tablet S Rooting and Hacking Progress // Lets do this.

Anybody with a Sony Tablet S, a few minutes to spare, and some basic ADB knowledge, can you please run the following command for me?
Code:
adb shell mount > sony-tablet-s-mounts.txt
Then simply upload the text file called sony-tablet-s-mounts.txt that is in your adb tools folder or whatever directory you ran that command from.
Also please run.
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/mounts/ > sony-tablet-s-proc-mounts.txt
Then again upload that file that was outputted.
Here we go:

manually push busybox to /data/tmp/local/ and try to remount /system as RW
then try to push su binary to /system/bin/ (give it permission 06755)
then try to push Superuser.apk to /system/app/
btw does this tablet have some sort of recovery mode? what abt bootloader status?
Code:

mount: Operation not permitted
$ /data/local/busybox whoami

So... stuck at remounting with rw permissions. no permissions
There is a recovery mode (power + volume-up key at boot).
abt bootloader status? Don't know what that is, and how to check.

why are u remounting as yaffs2?
just use:
Code:
busybox mount -o remount, rw /system
is adb active in recovery? if yes then try pushing su/busybox when in recovery mode...
ADB ain't active in recovery mode.
in fact we only have 3 choices in recovery mode:
- reboot
- update from sd-card
- return to factory settings
try to find a fastboot bin for linux, maybe can use it to
fastboot into bootloader(?)
Code:
$$ /data/local/busybox mount -o remount, rw /system
mount: permission denied (are you root?)
$$ mount -o remount, rw /system
mount: Operation not permitted

But with all i get:
signature verification failed
anyway to avoid that?
Posted on the sony forum a request for the original update.zip
hope i can get something...
hi
i cant see anyway to go in fastboot.
boot with vol+ there are stop in the stock recovery "Android system recovery <Rev.7 <3e>"
3 Option in recovery:
1. cancel ans restart device
2. Update system from sd card.

hello
have you make chances in the instal.lbat file ?
and use the su from the honeycomb superuser files ?
im not at home and cant test it.
Code:
ECHO Installing modified recovery
%adb% start-server >nul
%adb% -d wait-for-device >nul
%adb% -d shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
%adb% -d push %su% /system/bin/su
%adb% -d shell chmod 06755 /system/xbin/su
GOTO :finished
Thanks for trying so hard guys, if you can crack this and bring root to the tablet s you will be legends. I will happily donate via paypal as a thank you.

HOSTs file nightmare! Please help

Can anyone help with this...
The phone is called the n7103, It's a chinese phone and the specs can be found here: https://my.dx.com/MyOrders/OrderDetail/130421001070495638
Root: Yes
Version: 4.1
Carrier: Three (UK)
My hosts files are wrong, so I can't connect to the play store and use some apps, my hosts file currently read:

I presume this is correct, if not please do correct me.
Now I want to use ADB to send the to the phone, however I can't for the life of me make the system read/write, The reason being I dont know what to mount, so I found the following instructions:
Very often when you want to write files to a particular partition on ADP1, you will get a "Permission Denied" if the partition is mounted read-only.
To get around this, you need to mount the partition read-write. Typically this is done with /system partition
$ adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
(Replace /dev/block/mtdblock3 & /system with appropriate device path and mount point, as obtained from cat /proc/mounts)

So basically I get stuck at this part as I don't know what to type:
$ adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 .........
I have looked for other methods including using totalcommander with root to edit hosts file but to no avail.
I can't push the file as the destination is not read write. I have also tried using terminal and chmoding the system folder as 777 but no joy.
There is also an app called "HOSTS EDITOR" however it wont allow me to insert the "#" character.
I am sorry for the very long post, I'd appreciate any help!

adb is a program in your PC, not in Android itself, so this command:

You obviously do not have the permission to do that, so the question is, are you rooted, and if so root again and be sure to have the latest SuperSU installed with updated binaries.

My kernel version is 3.40-perf [email protected] #1 and bootloader is unlocked.
I gained root by downgrading my firmware to .532 version and install rooting using a program called Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v33. After rooting is successful, install dualrecovery and upgrade my firmware to .757 version by flashing a specific zip file via recovery followed by flash FTF with Flashtool.
Am I doing it correctly? Is there a better way to do it?

I would try to reflash supersu and see if that fixes it
I'm not sure. I'm having the same issue, sort of. I can mount /system to read write easily but can't mount back to read only. Getting "resource busy" message. Running a 4.4.2 LG G2 ROM. Could it have anything to do with how /system is formatted within TWRP recovery? Idk.. Luckily not being able to mount as read only isn't exactly an issue but more of a nuisance.
Edit:: Found a solution minutes after posting.
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system # works fine
mount -o remount,ro /system # resource busy error
mount -o remount ro /system # works fine without comma
With this knowledge I can go through and fix a few scripts that have the comma between remount and ro. Not sure why this is as it's always worked fine ever since my OG DROID.
Any updates ??

[Q] corrupt /efs folder files ? Unknown Baseband, Unknown IMEI? Some Hope to fix it?

Hello,
I am flashing roms since nearly two years and I got my first big problem 2 days ago.
My GT-i9100 (DBT Germany) was running stable under cm-12.1-20150611-UNOFFICIAL-i9100.zip brought by Lysergic Acid.
When I tried to log on WLAN on Tuesday morning, my rom crashed with a few percent of energy remaining. I charged my battery and started the phone again. I had a message "No Service" and a barred circle. Pin Code was being asked, as well as my lock screen Pin Code.
I thought it was a mobile network operator issue, and that it would be temporary. Didn't care about it, I was able to log in my WLAN network. Then I saw an update (06/17) on xda, that I downloaded and flashed following the installation instructions. I noticed still the "No service" message and the circle barred. I looked at my telephone settings an saw Unknown Baseband, No Signal, Unknown Imei. When I called *#6#, there was a popup with only the Text IMEI no number.
Finally I did sthg really stupid (I didn't google Unknown Baseband Unknown Imei at this time), because I thought wrongly that the issue is a rom, modem or csc issue. Then I decided to flash back to a stable jelly bean version.
Thus, I had to flash the partition with Stock i9100 pit, because I was using a preload modified area partition before.
Then I made my great mistake, that's what I think now, I think I corrupted my /efs folder. I installed a stock firmware from sammobile on my SII (still no service, unknown baseband), then rooted the phone again, and installed
ASNET MIUI v5 (4.8.10) everything is working except this my mobile network unknown baseband, unknown Imei, etc
I tried to look on my external harddrive, if I had any backups from my phone, did not have any /efs backup. :crying:
With root explorer I am able to to see the /efs folder no file is missing I think, but it is certainly corrupt. I am joining a .tar file of this folder here. https mega.nz/#!4IZijDTK!2eZ1lhC01bTEcbzwP7OVe8tePiIm5GNQ_dwpZRZHF0k

Internal SD Is Now Broken after Going to Lollipop. Need Advice.

I was able to install lollipop on my phone. But I couldn't get root. I lost some information. So I went back to my backup 4.3 within TWRP and that's when it all went to ****. HWuserdata can't be mounted and sometimes internal_sd can't be mounted either.
What I can do:
-Install new roms
-Install backups [restore them]
-Access to adb
-Can push out img through through adb/fastboot
What I can't do:
-with all of the above, the internal sd doesn't mount in ANY of the roms [both 4.3 and 5.1]
-Can't remove /hwuserdata in TWRP
-Can't remove /internal_sd in TWRP [Error message: E: Unable to mount '/internal_sd']
More Error Messages:
E: Block device not present, cannot wipe internal storage.
E: Unknown MTP message type: 1
E: Unable to wipe 'internal_sd'
Updating partition details...
E: Update to mount 'internal_sd'
Available Partitions as in the Wape menu within TWRP 2.8.7.1
-Dalvik Cache
-Cache
-data
-Internal Storage 11975MB
-System
-Custom Storage
-Internal Storage 0MB [There is actually two of these partition.]
-External Storage
-USB OTG
My best guess is delete the internal sd some how. And/or remove /hwuserdata as well. Or completely return it to stock. Then install 4.3, install TWRP 2.8.7.1, install 5.1, and finally install root. I can't find the img file to push out through adb in "Fastboot&Rescue Mode".
Can someone point me to stock img? This didn't fix my issue within TWRP. I tried installing "MT2L03_B148_Stock_ROM.zip" within TWRP.
All advice would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!
UPDATE 7/2:
sdcard0 / internal_sd is still broken after applying the downgrade and the b309 rom. Does anyone have the stock rom in an img file format?
Download the public preview of B309 from the blog.
Install it as instructed in the blog post. (You will lose your data, so backup.)
To root and get TWRP, do the below.
Credit to Foltz61.
1. Boot to bootloader.
2. Fastboot boot TWRP-L.img
3. Install supersu-2.49.zip (even though I didn't lose root)
4. Reboot back to system.
5. Reboot back to bootloader.
6. fastboot flash recovery TWRP-L.img.
7. fastboot reboot.
8. Boot to recovery and had TWRP
Thanks for the reply. But I am still stuck with a broken sdcard0 / internal_sd partition. Does anyone have a stock rom in an img file format? Applying the B309.zip and downgrading to 4.3 provided by Huawei still hasn't fixed my problem.
Oh my God...... Which version of TWRP did you use when you restored using your 4.3 backup???
Please, tell me you did not use TWRP 2.8.7.1-L or 2.8.7.0-L for that matter???
in current state, maybe you can try use parted to print your current partition table, and paste here
adb within twrp, it has parted builtin, under OS, you need install the binary.
parted /dev/blk/mmcblk0
unit b
print
I'm posting here for public view.
DO NOT USE TWRP-L IF YOU ARE ON JELLYBEAN 4.3. IT IS MEANT ONLY FOR LOLLIPOP.

I installed 4.3 with the huawei files and went over to 5.1. I am not sure if I am in the clear yet. I have a "emulated 0" partition for my sdcard0/internal_sd. When I open ES file browser, it says "no sdcard can be found". But I can write to this "emulated 0" partition. I am guessing this is still broken? I am on TWRP 2.8.7.0 with 5.1.

Open terminal, type and enter, su, then type and enter, mount. Share with me what mount says.
That's the same as mine

The emulated 0 partition is the same as I have. That should be your internal memory.

Still, to be sure he didn't screw something up since he did use TWRP-L while on 4.3 JellyBean, I still want to see what, mount, displays for him on his terminal.
Emulated partition
I'm using X-plore file manager and I'm not seeing internal_sd but rather getting the internal SD drive showing up under Root/Storage/Emulated/0
I've tried reverting back to 4.3 and associated TWRP, but X-plore still doesn't show internal_sd properly. I'm pretty sure it used to show it properly...or am I imagining it

On 4.3 yes, on 5.1 yes, but on 5.1 it's main location is /data/media/0
You can check by opening terminal and typing then entering, mount.
so as long as it accessible by going to /data/media/0 then its all okay, even though it doesn't show up as an actual drive under X-Plore?
Thanks for your time and help.

Mine is also screwed up after the upgrade and I cannot get back to stock, nor can I get TWRP back. Yes, I've reflashed supersu etc. Here's my dump.

Updated to 5.1 (was a beta tester). After the upgrade, root, but no TWRP. Tried numerous times to reflash TWRP-L but still the stock EMUI 3 persists. Have verified I can fastboot TWRP to restore previous backups and create new backups but cannot make TWRP permanent.
Have tried the reinstall of SuperSI 2.4x and all the steps multiple times with no success. Tried the Huawei downgrade to B148 and that fails as well.
Regarding trying to install TWRP, that is because of the 5.1 Rom. It checks to see if the recovery is stock. If it isn't then it will overwrite the custom recovery. TWRP has to be booted and system has to be mounted as read/write, not read only, in order for it to patch the Rom so TWRP will stick.
I can't help regarding the beta test Rom though. I was not a tester. So I cannot say specifically what changes there were between the beta Rom and official released Rom. Maybe @xordos, @kimtyson, @Iguanadon, @ScoobSTi or someone else can assist regarding your current dilemma.

Try removing anything related to twrp on internal and/or external sd. Backup if needed. Then fastboot boot twrp. You should get the prompt about read/write.
Edit: remember to use 2.8.0 L
Sent from my MT2L03 using XDA Free mobile app
I am also new to the 5.1 fused internal storage. following is what I noticed.
/sdcard is soft link to /storage/emulated/legacy, which in turn is link to /storage/emulated/0, which again is link to /mnt/shell/emulated/0, which is the internal storage fused to /data: /data/media/0.
But some how ES file explorer can not handle it. In ESFileExplorer in my B309, it show /sdcard as a *file* with a tiny link icon, instead of others normal one (like /vendor) which showed as a *folder* with a tiny link. And every time, when I open ESFileExplorer, it also report error, "/sdcard can not find" something like that. I have to go to its settings page, Directory Settings, and set "Home Directory" to "/storage/emulated/0", then the error is gone. For me, I changed it to /storage/sdcard1, which is my external sdcard.
Another side notes, if sometime your app (that requires root) complains can not write to storage, goto SuperSU settings, and disable "Mount namespace separation", this may help resolve lots of problem.
These is more info from the command line, I can not tell the different between /sdcard and /vendor, but ESFileExplorer can not open /sdcard
(when run these "ls" as non-root user, the result is same)
Code:
[email protected]:/ # ls -l sdcard
ls -l sdcard
lrwxrwxrwx root root 1970-01-01 00:20 sdcard -> /storage/emulated/legacy
[email protected]:/ # ls -l vendor
ls -l vendor
lrwxrwxrwx root root 1970-01-01 00:20 vendor -> /system/vendor
[email protected]:/ # ls -l sdcard/
ls -l sdcard/
drwxrwx--- root sdcard_r 2008-12-31 18:48 Alarms
drwxrwx--x root sdcard_r 2015-07-03 03:36 Android
...
[email protected]:/ # ls -l vendor/
ls -l vendor/
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2015-06-24 13:09 etc
drwxr-xr-x root shell 2015-06-24 13:09 firmware
...
PS, Just realized in the phone setting-storage, I can set default storage to "External", then after that /sdcard become normal as it is not link to fused FS anymore:
Code:
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /sdcard
ls -l /sdcard
lrwxrwxrwx root root 1970-01-01 04:15 sdcard -> /storage/sdcard1
[email protected]:/ # ls -l /storage
ls -l /storage
dr-xr-xr-x root root 1970-01-01 04:15 emulated
lrwxrwxrwx root root 1970-01-01 04:15 sdcard0 -> /storage/emulated/0
drwxrwxr-x root sdcard_rw 2015-07-03 12:50 sdcard1
drwx------ root root 1970-01-01 04:15 uicc0
drwx------ root root 1970-01-01 04:15 usbotg
Why did I not have any problems booting into fastboot, flashing TWRP-L through fastboot, booting directly into TWRP, enabling the read/write dialog option, then flashing SuperSu? TWRP survives, root worked, etc
Couldn't have been a more standard way of going about it.
Also, I had a problem with my external SD card being read only after lollipop update, but I think I fixed it by going to settings and changing default storage to external sd card and rebooting. Now both internal and external can be written to.
