It works just like win 32 flasher app we use. It writes a raw img file to SD. Becareful however as your intelnal microsd will show up aswell. Also op when gateway have multi rom support maybe add a option to copy to fat 32 per gateways standard when released and maybe Like the nes hunter pro app show our collections with the cover pics or even the banner pix inside the rom. (There is tools to extract these.
This is really handy. Cool app! Unfortunately my nexus 4 doesn't accept microSD or OTG.
Yep, you're correct. It works using dd (which is why root is required).
I've made it so that it only displays external media, so microSD cards and USB drives. Let me know if your internal storage is showing up. But it filters all that out on my S4.
And yeah, those are all features I have in mind
Great idea and app but i have a problem, i tried with a 4gb microsd and it says "There is not enough storage space for this image file on this device" I formated the microsd to fat32, it has 3,6gb left and im trying to flash a 1gb rom (Luigi mansion)
What are the byte sizes that the app is reporting for the ROM and your microSD card? Also the device name for your card?
Thanks for the quick reply
1073741824 bytes, the app is not reporting any bytes from the microSD card, not even 0, it just say /dev/block/vold/179:33. Device name extSdCard, i guess
You should be able to do the same thing through terminal right?
su # acquire root shell
mount # list the currently mounted filesystems
dd if=/path/to/image/file.3ds of=/dev/path/to/media/device # write file to device
Yes. These are the commands you would need to type in:
I do a bit more work to get any unmounted external media devices and to verify the sizes of the block device/image file, but this is how to do it in a nutshell.Code:su # acquire root shell mount # list the currently mounted filesystems dd if=/path/to/image/file.3ds of=/dev/path/to/media/device # write file to device
this isn't working on a galaxy tab 2 in combination with a sandisk class 10. it says 'flash results: 'and then nothing after a few seconds. i know the problem here is that the sdcard is mounted as a read only. so it refuses to write ( at least i got that error whit mine program)
Not working for me
Shows only my internal storage (my phone shows as SDCARD0) and another (MNT/SECURE/ASEC)
both unknown size
when i insert the microSD it shows as SDCARD1 IF its formatted and being recognized by the phone
if i unmount is not shown anymore on the app
If i try to flash, i get error that the application has stopped
