Anyone have the VOLD-EXFAT.zip file? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

REALLY REALLY need this so I can try to get my 64gb micro SDXC card to work on my CM9.... Can't find it anywhere on the Net either... Thanks in advance!!!

Anyone?

Afaik the Siyah-Kernel includes the driver in the newer versions.
You may need to manually mount the partition though, perhaps replacing vold by the Samsung-one is enough, perhaps not.

Yes, I have tried the new Siyah kernel, but I was still unable to use my 64gb SDXC card formatted via exFAT on it... Thus, I wanted to try the vold-exfat.zip file. Thanks!

Use a root explorer (eg the free 'ES Explorer'), make /system mounted read-write and go to /system/bin
Then rename the file 'vold' in 'vold.bak' and copy the attached one over. When done, reboot the phone.
It _SHOULD_ work, afaik replacing the vold is all the CWP-flashable ZIP did.
This one has been extracted from Omega 8.1 which is BLFB firmware.
Note that this file is NOT cwm-flashable, but it needs to be zipped so I can attach it!

Thank you much!
I will report back, hopefully with good results!

Doh! Still crashes and the card doesn't appear. Thanks for the file, though!

Likewise, didn't work for me. The damaged sd card symbol disappeared. FC when tried to go into settings storage and wouldn't detect when hooked up by usb to computer. Running CM9 nightly.

I've used that vold file and attempted to flash after aokp flash but i'm getting 'installation aborted'.
Just about at the end of my tether with this :crying:
there must be some way to get a non-fat32 file system to work on this. Without that I might as well be back on my nokia n97!

Please read the damn post! The file is NOT CWM-flashable but needs to be extracted and manually inserted.
According to OP it won't work anyway.

NTFS works fine, as do FAT16, FAT32, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4
ExFAT (FAT64) filesystem support is flaky on all linux devices, don't bother with it.

Ok sorry for misunderstanding.
NTFS would be my preferred fs, but what im using (sgs3 aokp + siyah) will not read ntfs microsd. I will now google how to format it to the EXTs you mentioned.

It's supposed to work, but the automount may fail, in that case you'll have to manually mount the partition or create a script that does it for you.

Mounting EXT (EXT2-4) and NTFS Filesystems through OTG

I haven't received my SGS2 yet, but I saw some reports saying, that the galaxy s II can handle external drives if formatted to FAT32.
However, it doesn't recognize EXT2/3/4 and NTFS.
The question is what modifications are to be done (kernel drivers, etc) for mounting an EXT or NTFS drive? The kernel supposed to be capable to handle EXT, because the system sits on an EXT4 partition.
+1
Good question, since FAT32 has it's size limits for files (big video file).

Exactly, this is one important motive. Another is the capability to manipulate files on an external hard drive.
I know, ntfs is tricky, but ext would do the job as well, just need a linux live CD or a driver for win7.
According to the Modaco forum (http://android.modaco.com/content/s...316579/format-type-for-external-microsd-ntfs/ )
it is possible to format a memory card with Busybox to ext2.
In the i9000 forum, one reportedly tried it with SGS but ran into issues.. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=799054)
I don't know if it works on the galaxy s II...

Linux can handle ntfs quite nicel ever since the ntfs-3g driver was released in 2006; I don't know how to get it working in android though, does android have udev rules?

Indeed Android is a linux variant, however the ntfs support is not built in, the kernel is chopped quite a bit. I would be fine with ext2/3/4, but these have to be hacked as well
BTW, does anyone know if Busybox is working on SGS-2?
Ntfs-3g is a userspace driver it is not included in the kernel, it needs fuse however.
So NTFS won't work without a new (bigger...) kernel?
NTFS would be nicest, as it plays well with both Win and Linux.
Formatting a memory card to ext is easy from any Linux box, however ext was not designed to be used on memory cards (something about cluster sizes and write access frequencies; a buddy of mine strongly advised against it as it would kill my SD card much faster because of significantly higher random writes using ext).
Also, afaik there is no (usable) ext driver for Windows. I installed a ext2 driver a long time ago, and it made my system almost unusable and was unable to read the ext filesystem I wanted it to read.
Likely the easier way is to get ntfs-3g support running, but we'll see.
I would be fine with ext2 and use a liveCD when moving data. compiling ntfs-3g is probably not healthy for the android kernel...
EXT3-4 are not that good for flash, because they involve much more writing (jurnal, etc) than ext2/fat/ntfs. Therefore ext2 seems to be the only reasonable solution for memory cards/SSD-s or ext3/4 for external HDD.
The question is how to make an ext2 formatted external HDD work with SGS-2? (OTG cable and powered usb hub given)

Which powered usb hub?
Does anyone know about restrictions on which powered USB hubs can be used?
I am planning to buy a powered USB 3.0 hub (backwards compatible), should it work with SGS-2's OTG?

How to format Internal SDCard to EXT4?

Hi there,
I've tried to follow other "tutorials" (for another Android phones) to format my internal SD Card to ext4, but with no success.
My method was:
- Connect phone to Linux PC
- Enable USB Storage on Phone (the drive appears in Linux)
- dmesg | tail (to see new device and partition name, for example, /dev/sdb1)
- mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1
- Unmount partition in Linux
- Stop USB Storage on Phone
- Unplug Cable
And the result is.......... The phone formats the Internal SD again to vfat!!!
Why does this happen? Any ideas?
How can i surpass this? I have Latest stock rom (rooted).
Getting lost here... :\
Cheers,
Phk
1. Download Minitool Partition Wizard
2. Connect phone with USB mass storage
3. Open Minitool Partition en right click on the SD Card and choose format.
4. Choose file system EXT4 and 32KB cluster size
5. When you did all that, you click the "Apply" button in the top left corner.
6. Wait for it to finish and voila!
Hope this helps!
sorry for this question, but why do you want to do that? is it so that you can use the whole 16gb for apps and store media on your external SD only?

Obviously to use HD-Video on the phone.
Files often exceed 4 Gigabyte, and for that filesystems like ntfs, exfat or ext4 are needed.
Going to give it a try soon, thanks nerotix!

You will need to patch some files for that to work. It's not bothered me enough that I want to fix it. If you restart your phone, it will reformat your internal SD-card to vfat, even if it's already ext4-formatted.
I'm also interested in this.
Really, it will change back to the original file system?
Which files would we have to patch to prevent this?

It depends, I believe alot of ROMs are ext4 supported, for those that are ext4 supported you dont have to patch anything I believe.
Guys please post only after testing. This is important to avoid deadlocks.....
Facts:
#1 - Current SGS2 Stock roms have rootfs and datafs formatted in EXT4 so they do support it
#2 - they force sd format to vfat so that is probably what needs patching.
Question is :
A - WHICH system app do we need to patch
B - Does the SD mount correctly as ext4 ?

No, it does not.
Tried both a microSD inside and another SD external via USB-OTG.
The OS 'catches' the 'faulty' ext4 cards and prevents mounting, which should work perfectly allright seeing Fact #1.
PS: The minitool mentioned above does not allow cluster sizes of 32 KB, only 1, 2 and 4 (checked this with an 8 GB mSDHC and 16 GB SDHC).
As far as I can remember:
/init.rc:
Code:
exec apply_system_policy /dev/block/mmcblk0p11 vfat
and /init which only seems to support FAT mounted SD-cards.
So you can take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14642927#post14642927
I think it will support NTFS soon when the devs are really interested in

Oh great.. Guess what.. /init.rc gets renewed at boot
rootfs is readonly, i've mounted it RW, edited init.rc, commented the vfat line, formatted the SD, and then reboot.
When the device booted, SD was clean and mounted with VFAT again

/init and /init.rc are part of zImage (the kernel). You must extract the initramfs, update the file, and write the changes back. You will probably get a yellow triangle (non-Samsung kernel message) if you manage to boot it.

[MOD]External SD as Primary/Internal

This is a simple mod to make the external SDcard mount as the primary/internal (/sdcard)
and the internal is mounted as the secondary (/sdcard-ext)
This should work on most (all?) roms but is only tested on MIUIv4 with a GSM RAZR
Just flash the switchSD.zip
To revert the effect, flash reswitchSD.zip
Requested by lukas77 external sd mounted in folder of internal (/sdcard/sdcard-ext)
Some problems though, after each boot you will have to remove and insert SD for it to mounts.
It is safe to remove SD because it isn't mounted but it's a bit of a hazzle.
Flash SDinFolder.zip to revert, just flash reswitchSD.zip as above.
make shore before flashing that you don't have any file or folder named sdcard-ext on internal sdcard.
EDIT:
I have been away for a while and came back to a thread full of pproblems and a bunch of PMs.
Unfortuneatly I don't have time to ivestigate the problems or fix for newer builds.
My recomendations for everyone is: Do Not Use It unless you'r realy know what your doing and can fix it for your build.
work perfect eclipce 1.3 via GSM

Some apps doesn't support external SD (Very noticeable on MIUI as music can't find music on external and file explorer only browses internal).
Some people (me) prefer a storage that is easily movable.
If you always have a larger SD inserted you'll probably find yourself a bit limited with the original mounting options.

If you have programs (or games, mostly games) that is installed on your internal SD they will break. I guess games that download extra data to SD just will have to download it again though...
The good thing is that you can test and then just flash reswitchSD.zip if it didn't work.
This tells vold (the program responsible for mounting the storages) to mount external on /mnt/sdcard and internal on /mnt/sdcard-ext instead of the reverse.
No links.

You will for a ROM that erases the whole system partition but won't for a patch. But it doesn't seem like there are that many ROMs that provides patches so you probably will.

Great idea! However my testing found out that it wasn't the easiest thing to do as vold will try to mount the external SD before the internal is mounted and the folder present.
It works but after every boot you will have to remove SD (safe as it isn't mounted) and reinsert it. May work better on other ROMs (did some Googeling and found that CM7 on O2X did have problem while stock didn't whit exactly the same thing)
Adding to first post now!
Would it be possible to mount SD as an expansion of your internal? i.e., treating them as the same memory unity?

No, if so we would have to raid them but I have never heard of some raid utilities built for Android.
Even if it's theoretically possible to build the Linux utilities for ARM and run them on Android it would probably be loads of work and customization for each ROM as Android have very bad possibilities of running scripts at boot.

There is hope. I can link all the files to you later because I'm busy now, but I can tell you the way. I'm assuming you already have Odin and all the stock .pda and .tar files. So first flash the .pit and .tar and then flash the .pit and a file called dbdata which should be everywhere if you look for it. The dbdata file should mount your system and fix that problem. Also make sure you have re-format checked. If I remember right just playing around with those helped me with the same problem. I think the dbdata didn't work the first few tries then I tried something else and it worked

Someone in another thread had close to the same problem, this method might wipe your sd, it might not I can't remember, but I don't think it should.
Here is where you can find all the stock files

If anyone is wondering I formatted EVERYTHING on my devices and managed to fix it by flashing a full stock rom, but it messed up my microsd.
I can access it just fine if I boot the device from withing the device or mtp, or plug the microsd directly on my pc, but TWRP just doesn't see my sd card no matter what I do.
My guess is the mount points got messed up.
If anyone has any idea it'd be great!

I used your file but seems like I need the main fstab file of kenzo, I don't even know if I'm correct.
With your file recovey shows the microsd card as 0mb and I can't mount it.
So I must have damaged something else.

Does kenzo have a vold.fstab file in /etc directory?
Mine doesn't.

Thanks anyway, I guess unless a dev knows exactly which file is needed I won't be able to fix this.
Oh well.
If its only TWRP problem, then you can try flashing other TWRP versions.

I did just that, but that didn't help.
So it must be a phone wide issue.
I most likely deleted the mounting file, fstab I think it's called.

Fastboot ROM usually fixes such issues. If you can atleast see the external SD card in twrp as 0 mb, then there's some tutorials to fix that.

I fastbooted the latest beta I had 8.11.15, but that didn't fix it.
I can see the sd card once I'm booted but not on TWRP.
TWRP shows the sd card as 0mb like you said and I can't mount it.
Would you be kind enough to point me to one of those aforementioned tutorials you talked about?
Thanks.
I am not finding that. It was something related to formatting of the SD card from TWRP itself.
