Hi, i searched and couldnt find anything... I just installed ubuntu and have been dual-booting with windows Vista for several weeks now. My question is im a windows (redheaded step)child and im not too familiar with linux' inner workings yet...so i have not been doing anything to "safely remove" my G1 when in ubuntu, cuz i thought that such an option doesnt exist...problem is now i think ive corrupted all my data on my SDcard and i was just hoping that someone could tell me how to do this correctly in ubuntu? Do i hafta mount it, and THEN unmount it before i should unplug it? I dont even know if this is the problem, but ive been watching my logcat and it gives me some Dbus error when i plug in USB and it doesnt come up on the phone with option to mount SDcard, and windows doesnt recognize my device anymore. Pretty sure i corrupted my SD, im pretty sure i can fix it without help, if someone could just tell me the proper procedure for removing devices from ubuntu? thanks in advance...

I dual boot ubuntu on my mac OSX, which emulator are you using (fusion VM, virtualbox etc...?)
(1) When you've properly mounted your SD card it should show up on your ubuntu Desktop. Just go to Places > Desktop and you should be able to eject the SD card (two if you are partitioning them and AppstoSD) by pressing the "eject" button. The SD card should show up in the left window pane.
(2) Also, you probably have corrupted your SD card and are going to have to reformat it, losing all of your data.
(3) Somewhere in your emulator there should be a USB button to see which devices are plugged into your host computer, and which ever one you select your emulator will read.
(4) Finally, you don't provide enough information for a real answer...
(a) What ubuntu are you running?
(b) Do you have appstosd?
(c) have you done a nandroid backup?
(d) Which emulator/virtual environment are you running?
Hope this helps.
In Nautilus (the file manager) there will be a little orange eject symbol next to the drive. Clicking it will unmount the drive, which you should ALWAYS do before pulling any kind of removable media out of the socket. Unmounting is the *nix equivalent of "ejecting" in Windows.
If you're running a command line setup, the command to unmount is
Code:
sudo umount /media/(insert mount name here)
Hope that helps!
I too dual boot and noticed they i wouldn't get the "usb connected" on the G1. After some tweaking a few options; i noticed I would get the USB connected IF my usb debugging was ON. [settings- applications- developement- usb debugging]. I have to check for Ubuntu and uncheck for windows. I hope that helps
you see the problem is that ive never actually mounted my G1 in ubuntu, i just plugged it in to charge...so i never had to unmount it and theres no "safely remove" function, that i could find, so i figured that linux was just secure enough that it didnt require safely removing devices....oops...in answer to your questions, first im not running any VM...im ACTUALLY dual-booting. i have windows vista and ubuntu Jaunty running side-by-side, on a compaq presario f700. I DO have USB debugging ENABLED, and right now im running JF1.42rc33 still, im prolly gonna be wiping and upgrading to SOMETHING today, i was kinda just holding off cuz i like my theme, but my phones f-in up so nows as good a time as any to start fresh. I dont use a2sd, just my caches for market, browser, and maps are on sd. Ive been having trouble on my g/f's hp Pavilion pc running windows vista...we both have g1's and HERS is stock, unrooted, and she just got the OTA a couple days ago, since then the computer has been hating on MY phone, it says the drivers screwed and it wount bring up the option on my phone to mount the sdcard. hers still works fine, and mine still works fine hooked up to my laptop, just not hers...so i dunno if THATS a cupcake issue or if its cuz i didnt remove it from ubuntu right...im gonna format my sd AND wipe my phone, and ill get back to you guys moentarily, thanks for all your replies.
-BMFC
If all you were doing is charging, and you didn't mount it, then your original assumption was correct. You don't need to unmount something that was never mounted.

ok well then somebody help me out with this: i have tried for two days to get my sdcard to format, and IT JUST WONT. I cant get it to even be recognized by my girlfriends computer, but her G1 running UNrooted TMOCupcake still works fine, kinda makes me wonder if hers didnt get some kinda updated driver packed with it? The cupcake, i mean, not the phone...i dunno. Anyways my phone WONT mount in ubuntu at all, it shows up but when i try to mount it it says "No media on Volume" and wont open it at all. so in windows it ACTS like its doin everything i want it to do...i tried to format my sd yesterday and i sat here and watched it the whole time, and when it finshed it said: "Format Completed SUCCESSFULLY." so i SAFELY REMOVED IT, unplugged and plugged back the usb, and when it came up EVERYTHING WAS STILL THERE!!!! my problem seems to be my sdcard/doom folder...it tells me that the folder \doom is ENTIRELY UNREADABLE.
ahem...on a side note, all these things happened at once...(same day)
1. My g/f got the OTA cupcake update...
2. I updated some apps from the market, the one that im suspecting right now is called "Cards(-)" by Coderminus. After i updated it, i went to play Doom, and instead of playing like usual, when i hit the "Play" button, it just exitted to home. So i checked my logcat and the Cards(-) app caused ALL KINDS of runtime errors, and so i uninstalled this app.
3. My market starts crashing all of a sudden. I cleared the cache and it SEEMED to fix it...for now.
4. Uninstalled Doom (ver. 1.29.666) and then went and deleted my doom folder.(I thought) Reinstalled newest version of Doom (ver. 1.31.666)
5. Tried to redownload the WADs to play, and i could get it to play, as long as i didnt try to download the sound files. Everytime i tried to get the sounds, it would act fine, but then when id go to play the game itd just exit to home again....
6. Repeated step 5. like 6 times....
This was all like 2 days ago? 3 days ago? and ive been messing with it ever since, and my PHONE is fine, but my SDCARD appears to be, for lack of a better term, ****ED. i cant even format it, ive tride 3 times, it just all comes right back when i plug it back in...i even tried to put an update.zip in my sdcard and update from JF1.42RC33 to (I was gonna try Dude's 1.2b) so i put that in there, and removed it and when i went into my file manager on the g1, the update wasnt there! i cannot seem to be able to make ANY changes to my sd...SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Try ti format your card from within your phone. Unfortunately that's the only issue I can help you with.
Edit: try doing a system wipe on your girlfriends phone from the recovery menu. It should solve the crashes. You will wave to reinstall all your apps tho.

I...didnt even know that was possible...im not seein any options to do that...you know some terminal commands for that or somethin? Cus when i got into my file manager (i use aFile, cuz it has wireless transfer) i cant even delete anything from there, ANY folder i try to delete it just says "Failed to delete (folder name)"...so if you know how to do that then hook me up and ill try it...
-BMFC
EDIT: i think you misunderstood, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG with my girlfriends phone...its just that she got the US OTA and it happened at the same time as all this other, so i thought maybe it might have had some effect on how mine interfaces with her comp...honestly i doubt it, but until someone tells me im wrong im not ruling it out...
On your phone Goto your settings menu, sdcard and phone memory, unmount your card and then select format
No dice, seems you may be on a diff. ROM than me, i dont have that option, i unmount the card, and thats all that happens, it unmounts it...no format option...
-BMFC
Damn that sucks. Does your girls phone have that option? I wish I could help you out. But I'm at a loss
Sdcard IMPOSSIBLE TO FORMAT....need ADVANCED help!!!
hi i posted a thread here for help, and i did so cuz i need help from someone INTELLIGENT. The mods have now moved my post to the "General section" of the dream forum, where i cant get **** for help. The reason i didnt just post in that section, where it goes, is CUZ NO ONE CAN OR WILL HELP ME OVER THERE....i need a devs help or somethin...THATS why i posted in the dev section...cus its pointless to try to get support from end users...i might as well just sit in the bedroom with NO COMPUTER asking MYSELF what the answer is...so first off id like to thank the AWESOME mods here for burying my post head-high in a section that i cant get any support in, EVER. THEN, id like to ask some dev(s) or SOMEBODY, SOMEBODY INTELLIGENT, please go to
this thread
and read, and im BEGGING you for help!!! To whoever helps me figure this out i would gladly donate to WHATEVER cause you have!!!! Honestly, if you ONLY read MY posts, you wont miss anything important, except some guy with the SAME SKILL LEVEL AS ME telling me to wipe SOMEBODY ELSES PHONE and see if that works...****.
SOMEONE PLEASE try to help me out before the AWESOME mods here at xda move this post, too. Im not sorry im posting in the wrong secrtion cuz this is where the help is and thats REALLY what i need right now. So MODS, you can move my posts all day long, ill just make a new one linking to the old one till i get some support...suspend me...BAN me, i dont care, ill just keep coming back with new usernames and accounts until i get some help, cuz THATS WHAT THE F*CK SUPPORT FORUMS ARE FOR. Im really pissed at whatever mod moved my post, cuz the SECOND i posted that thread initially, i got like 4 or 5 replies, thats why i LOVE this forum, cuz it has GREAT SUPPORT, when you can actually get your question seen by a dev, that is. but as soon as my post got moved i got several replies from one DUMBASS that was TRYING to help, and ill give him that he was just tryin to help, but i have a problem with my phone, and this guy tells me i should WIPE MY GIRLFRIENDS PHONE. WOW. Just wow. Someone please go read my problem and post there, or post here, with some answers....MODS PLEASE DONT MOVE THIS THREAD I AM TRYING TO GET SOME HELP!!!!
-BMFC
yea *****ing like a 4 year old will you nowhere. no one owes you anything.
If you have a camera, try using that to format your memory card. Hope it works.
lol ok first off take it easy on the mods here, i'm speaking of your other post, they try to keep these forums clean and it isnt an easy job all things considered.
the way i see it you have 2 options.
1. Throw your card in a digital camera and use the camera to format it. I works most the time when a computer wont, several times my pc wouldn't recognize/format a card but my ****ty digital camera had no problem.
2. if that doesn't work, splurge the $8.99(or less) it costs to get a new sd.
I've even seen 8gig class 6 cards for around $20 and 4gig class 4 cards for $10.
edit: wow just a min too late

Hi,
I have been following the steps required to root the G1, and have obtained root, up until a point. However, when trying to plug my G1 into my OS X machine to copy the remaining required files over to the SD, it has caused a kernel panic on every attempt to do this.
Before, when my G1 was at CRB43 (UK phone) it interacted just fine, so I dont know why 1.0 is causing this problem.
Anyone got any ideas?
Mine isn't the same version as you (Haykuro's Hero) but yesterday I plugged in my g1 to update my phone and it BSOD my Windows 7 build Funny, but ya I'd also like to know what would cause this, though its only done it once.

I doubt its the G1, everytime something like this happens to my mac, its always the mac's fault. Could be something corrupt, try installing Onyx. Its a mac maintenance prog. Run the automation setting and see if that helps.

Another good thing to try is go into application/utilities/disk utilities and run a permissions check on your drive. I've fixed a kernel panic that way before.

It's all inclusive. It will prompt you to close everything except onyx too, so make sure you have everything saved. Its a great program!
Thanks for the tips guys, but still no joy. Plug G1 in and mouse pointer just freezes instantly...
Hey, you mentioned you have root to a point...
Since it seems we might not be able to fix the comp problem ( at least without some drastic steps like reinstalling the OS X possibly... ), can you tell us your goal with your phone? Are you trying to connect it so you can flash a different rom, or just trying to sync it with iTunes? Could you just buy a card reader and get to where you want to be?
I imagine you want to connect it to complete some sort of rooting process. If thats true we may be able to help you overcome the rooting issue.
If it helps, I have been running the Rogers R2 rom along side Leopard, and I don't have any troubles with them connecting.
Does anyone know if it would help to install the SDK? IDK, maybe there's some sort of drivers etc, that need to be reinstalled?

There are no drivers for the linux/mac sdk, so that won't help.
One other suggestion is to click on the apple in the menu bar, go to "about this mac", click on "more info", scroll to the bottom of the list and select logs under software. Choose the system.log and look for any indications of what the failure may be there. My guess is you have another usb device connected that is causing a problem. I had issues with my microsoft kybd/mouse and had to uninstall the stupid M$ software that came with it to get around a kernel panic (unrelated to the G1).
If you want, you can post the log here for us to look at.
ive noticed this with ubuntu, windows 7, windows xp home and mac whenever i mount the sd card over usb, any of the os'es freeze/crash -

Wow! Thats insanity.
Maybe unrelated, but I had to install a special ext2 format utility for my mac to even recognize the ext2 partition of my sd. And even then, it really didnt like mounting that partition. Never caused a kernal panic, but def slowed things down a lot.
Totally off-topic, but I love how Windows crashes are dubbed "Blue Screen of Death", while Mac OS gets "Kernel Panic".
Kernel Panic. lol

turns out its an issue with the HP mini 2133 i found others that have the same problem....after two hours of tech chat with HP problem persists....
macbook has always been finicky with the ext2 partition even with the ext2fs driver and macfuse....odd to me since mac is usually friendly....
I was running haykuros hero, i had run two optimizers and started deleting things to make space and increase performance,
I think i deleted something that now doesnt allow the phone to start.The only things i think could do this were 1, the gmail widget, this prevented the phone from syncing with my account prompting me to attempt to reflash, and 2, i had also deleted some setup app (which i thought many people had) and im guessing this is why i couldnt get past the very initial setup after reflashing.
I decided to use my card reader to flash dude 1.2 lite in an attempt to start over but it just bootloops at HTC.
I am desperate to determine what i deleted and how to put it back on my phone, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help in any way possible. I have card reader and adb but dont know where to start.
Honestly at this point, you're better off starting from scratch (ALT+W and ALT+S). You shouldn't loose anything but time. It's all replaceable (assuming any contacts u created since were all sync'd first). No worries, you'll be just that more familiar with your fone and how to flash it!
(P.S. No sarcasm intended )
Aloha-
i did alt w alt s when i flashed dude and it looped. I was just able to flash ion alright though so maybe that will be my starting point to get back to rosie...
So its the htc setup wizard im missing, anybody know enough about this stuff to tell me how i can get this back on my phone...
i would say you are gonna need to pull it out of the update you flashed and adb push it to your /system/app directory, i don't know for sure that this will help but it might

What I am saying is that since you are unable to unequivocally determine which file caused this problem after deleting, it would be easier to start over again. That's worked 4 me every time I've unintentionally deleted a needed file or something similar. It might require loading another ROM (ION is great 4 this, that's what I use as well as easy if u have a backup and can just fastboot flash it) to get the app2sd info all back in the right place on the ext2 partition. IMO this is better because u all the files in their proper place and that's a good starting point. Are you using Haykuro's HERO or one of the compacted builds that don't use app2sd?
tubaking182 is also correct if you know what files u need to replace.
I upgraded from DI01 to DL09 via OTA and now USB Mounting doesn't work when I connect to my Mac. Has anyone had this issue?
Go into Setting > USB Settings > Ask on connection. Seems to have reset. If this works, ITS DOOBIE TIME

Just got to a mac to give this a shot. Doesn't mount for me either! Shows a CD image with some of the pc installer files but not the directory of the phone itself. Very interesting. Upon unmounting, got a "The disk you inserted was no readable by this computer." message.

Same issues here! I am hoping one of you AWESOME developer types can help us Mac users out on this one. I have made multiple inquiries to both Verizon and Samsung regarding this issue. Surprise, surprise...they each point the finger at the other! I pretty much lost all hope when the last Verizon rep I spoke to suggested I purchase an external SD card reader to transfer files...gulp!
Same problem !!!
Doesn't work with my Mac. Also tried Factory Reset.. still doesn't work....
Looks like I am not the only one ....
Also, the update left a weird status icon on the top next to my 3g icon in the status bar.
Please help..
Thanks,

Hey, I think I may know what the problem is, even though I don't have a Mac to test. I'm running stock ROM with DL09 OTA, and I discovered that when trying to mount the phone in mass storage mode, it wouldn't. It just showed up as a CD drive that contained an installer for the latest samsung drivers, and an app that opens IE to a page to download some kind of Verizon VCast media manager app. In other words, Verizon is trying to save you from yourself by forcing you to use their crap media manager software, instead of accessing the contents of your SD card directly.
I then realized that I hadn't de-bloated by removing all the Verizon apps, so I froze the VCast and VZNav apps (and Bing, and a few others) in Titanium Backup, and after that, Windows will now recognize and mount the SD card as expected.
I suspect that the funky CD mode thing is what is messing up mounting it on your Mac, so would suggest that you freeze those apps on your phone (you can also go in with ADB or Root Explorer and rename the .apk files, if you don't have Titanium Pro), and reboot the phone, and then try mounting it again.

Can anyone confirm that this works? And particularly: which app needs to be stopped/"frozen"/removed for the fix.
I had searched a half dozen forums and not found a solution, that you found a fix is great news.
Not being able to access the SD card as a USB flash storage device is absolutely intolerable - I would say it's a serious flaw with DL09 and Verizon should "recall" the update or QUICKLY release a patch that "un breaks" it. The fact that they're probably doing this on purpose is sickening and infuriating.
I later confirmed that that doesn't fully fix the problem. The issue is in the kernel itself. Adrynalyne's 1/18 or later kernels fix the problem, at least for Windows, not sure about Mac, but there's a good chance it will. Try that and see what happens.

I upgrated my HTC HD2 (with 16 gb sdcard that came along with it) without the card in during the process, flashed it to Windows 7 which worked great at first. (I've got the activation-code from windows)
But when I plugged it in to my computer, It shows 66,3 mb used on my internal memory and 0.0 mb left. So I read through like a million threads and didn't seem to find an answere that works.
I've tried and download "SDformatter" and followed it step by step. The formatting is successful, but then again, the phone doesn't seem to recognize the SD-card anyway. I've done it several times. Any help here?
Also, I can't get my marketplace to work. Some error message that says that I should check in again in a while, whatever. Read many people with the same problem as I have, and everyone's
talking 'bout an upcoming upgrade-fix for it. And my phone says that I have one new upgrade to do, but with no storage on the phone, I can't get it done!
(Saw in another thread someone posted a walkthrough on Jailbreak and unlock that he said would work. But then I'm eight back at the storage-problem)
Any thoughts here??? Watched every bloody thing on youtube about theese problems, and read every thread. I'm going mad.

mate, you need to have the card in before you install it, so plug the card in and hard reset it, note that the card still might not work, you may need a new card.
without the card working dont expect much from the device, so get your card working and see what happens
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12173186&postcount=187
if you cant get that card working then you will need a new one, see my post on that thread, it is PURE LUCK if you get a working card, but make sure its class 2 or 4 as they have the most luck
Marketplace issue sounds like you flashed the original DFT release LEO70 ROM and haven't done the reg edit to spoof WP7 marketplace into believeing your phone is HD7. Do reg edit or install one of the custom ROMs that already has it cooked in.
I used RSD lite to flash to 4.1.2.6 and when it boots up the touch screen is way off and i can even go back or click the buttons on the bottom row. Anyone else have this happen? I reflashed twice already to see if it would fix it.
I've been toiling day and night for the last few days with the exact problem!!!
Tenfar is trying to help me via PM.
Because I partitioned internal SD this happened. I figure we need to do following command:
adb shell mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmc0p18
And then
#newfs_msdos -F 32 -S 512 -L MB860 -c 64 -u 16 /dev/block/mmcblk0p18
But I'm getting random daemon errors now because my PC is a piece of ****!! Trying to fix that problem to run the first command. Second command goes through okay but I'm still having touch screen issues.
Waiting for him to PM back. I'm in Canada with an AT&T Atrix and although the seller can send me proof of purchase, to send it to Motorola would take super long and would cost lots in shipping.
If you find anything, please post it here. I'll do the same!
lol
lol yup thats what i did. I realized it wouldnt let me install from internal sd and i didnt have a external sd at the time so is figured let me format it.. whats the harm. Well the harm is the whole bottom row of buttons doesnt work and the bottom of the screen is a half inch off lol. Been driving me crazy, let me know if u get anywhere with tenfar
Getting stupid daemon errors I can't fix. Going to try on another machine and will let you know if there's any progress. Seems simple enough in concept but I'm no Linux genius.
I'll keep you posted.
Have u tried booting into the recovery and partitioning the internal sd another way?

Yep. I've tried it all. Has to be manual now from what I gather... didn't get the chance to try on a new computer last night but will after work. I'll send you the commands if it works.
Dear lord, I hope it works!
Any Luck? I use my phone heavily for work and i had to use bluetooth all day with voice commands just to use the phone half way decently lol.
I had the same issue. I wasn't able to boot into my custom recovery and repartition. I ended up taking it back to AT&T and getting it exchanged. Can always pass it off as a bad device.
No luck. Same error. I tried mounting SD but I think I must be doing something wrong..
Still giving it another few tries. What a bummer. Gotta rip through the Atrix dump to see if I can find something else useful.
Can't unmount my SD card and successfully run the other command. Not sure what the heck I'm doing wrong. Now I'm uncertain what state my phone should be in when I run these commands.
I'm going to keep tinkering around but I'm waiting for the proof of purchase because I think I'll need to send it in. Damn. Wish I had someone in person that knew how to use shell commands properly. I'm not the greatest at this. Using an Xperia X10 in the meanwhile and dying to use my Atrix again. :'(
Hopefully someone will be kind enough to do a Nandroid backup of a fresh install and post it. I'm not sure but I think it could possibly help. It's worth a shot. Would pay someone $10 via Paypal if they could upload it to their Dropbox or something.
Hey OP, any luck?
If you have a new Atrix. Could you do a Nandroid backup and upload it to Dropbox by any chance???
I've exactly the same problem! (And when you are in some menu, you can't go back, so you have to reboot!!)
I did the same thing (Root, put recovery and so...)
I partitioned internal SD... And now, it's like touchscreen completly disturbed.
When you click on home - back or search, the screen select the bottom of the android interface!
I need to know if someone has a correct issue for that... I'm not at home, I will test the commands in adb from the second post later...
Also, I don't understand how a nandroid backup could resolve the problem... A backup will resize and fix the internal memory?
Thanks
