Hey there, Archos users.
There is an issue i have with my Archos 101 since I have upgraded to 2.3.20 (I have the same on 2.3.26) with internal memory and SD card.
Here is what I have:
After i boot the device, within some time (from 1 minute up to 30 minutes) the SD icon appears on the top saying "SD card safe to remove: You can safely remove SD card". When I am trying to access the file system from "Files" app - i can see no files even on my internal memory and a message: You can not use the internal storage while it's connected and mounted to the USB..
At the same time all files on internal memory and SD can be fully (RW) accessed via alternative file managers (ASTRO etc.).
As I have no posibility to downgrade to older firmware - I have installed Uruk 0.7. I was playing with it for about 30 minutes - no problems.
Did anyone faced the same issues? I am in Ukraine so have no local Archos support so dramaticaly need your help.
Just tried chulri's method of rooting - same problem.
As I understand, this method uses the installed firmware as a basis and puts root in it.

Will do now, but how come Uruk is working fine? Does it allocate some dedicated part of internal storage?
UPD: Well, it did not help. I did the disk check twice and got the same problem right after i boot up.
Anyone? Really need you help people.
Sounds like you are having the same exact problem I was having a few weeks ago and am having again now. The only solution I found that seems to work 100% is a full system wipe unfortunately. Meaning... wipe the entire Archos drive clean AND remove SDE as well as Android (if you happen to have Android), then reinstall Android first, then reinstall the 2.3.20 SDE as well, then reflash your 2.3.20 firmware again and rebooting after each step. Doing so solves the problem BUT I have no idea why it keeps happening to me still? In addition to having the same message as you... I then try to connect my A101IT to my laptop via the micro USB cable it reads "USB Operation Failed, There is a problem using your device's memory for USB storage. Only problem is that I never uninstalled or touched anything in the A101IT's system folders that I wasn't supposed to even though I have Chulri's Permanent Root Access via Firmware 2.3.20. So any help with the BOTH of these messages would be much appreciated too. By the way, like (gsmguru) I still have the problem when I go to my Recovery Menu and click on Check Disc.
I think i have the solution for this problem . Please try and post your results.
I suspect it has something related with latest fw's and wifi "Network share" .
When i deleted my home network and connected again BUT NOW checking the "disable network share" option the problem stopped for me the last 3 days.
Post your results so we can inform Archos about this bug.
You sir, are a genius!! Disabling Network Share in my personal Wifi Settings solved it in 2 seconds! Thanks!
.... Let's see how long Disabling Network Share lasts before the initial problem arises again...
Just got online. Let me check...
1. Staring up Archos
2. Problem with internal memory apperared immidiately.
3. Settings - WiFi - Forget...
4. Connect to.... Disabling Network Share
5. Reboot...
6. Where is that "Thank you" button?
It hellped. But... no more "The Big Bang Theory" from my NAS.
There is a bug in the new firmware. Just sent a custommer request via archos site from my account.
THANK YOU lagoskon.

I also had the same. Just did not mentioned.
Anyway - I am kind of happy it's not HW issue. Hope it'll be fixed.
Hello, I have to be gone in about 30 minutes so I would appreciate any help I can get.
Unfortunately, right now, I changed the DPI on my SGS2 causing it to go into a soft-brick. The fix is to change the boot. I have no backups nor roms on my phone, and mounting USB storage doesn't work (Error: Cannot open ums lunfile (No such file or directory))
I can use ADB, but am unfamiliar of how to send a custom recovery to it. I've done some searching, but to no avail.
The only thing that I can flash is Cyanogen Recovery 4.0 (Cannot open ums lunfile when mounting) and Cyanogen Recovery 6, however that doesn't do anything when mounting (error...?) I also have
Please help me
Edit: Odin flashing doesn't work, re-installing the USB drivers. Not sure if it'll do anything, but I sue hope that I can fix this soon.
If someone could even upload the file in system/data of the LCD Density (200, I think), so I can adb push and flash it on my drive, that would be REALLY appreciated. THANKS.
Hello everyone. Let's see if anybody can help me, because I'm pretty stuck with this.
Note: I've already searched high and low for solutions to the "Signature verification failed", but they either don't work or don't apply here.
I've tried to install the following ROM from xda-developers in a Sanei N10:
Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 for many AllWinner A10 tablets
I've installed it following the usual procedure:
- Press Vol+ and Power to get the Recovery menu
- Select Wipe data/factory reset
- Select Wipe cache
- Install the three ZIP files: "cm10_a10_20120913.zip", "gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip" & "n10_compatibility_1.2.1.zip"
The problem is, even though the first ZIP with the ROM installs successfully, the second one (the one with Google's apps) refuses to install, showing instead the message "signature verification failed". The same happens with the third ZIP (N10 compatibility).
So the installation doesn't actually finish. If I reboot the tablet, it runs Cyanogenmod 10, but the touchscreen doesn't work (I have to plug a USB mouse to interact with the operating system).
So what do I do to avoid the dreaded "signature verification failed" message? Just in case if it's of any help to identify the problem, I'll mention that I can see the Android bot laying down with a red triangle with an exclamation when entering the Recovery menu.
I've tried to use the ROM Manager which is preinstalled with Cyanogenmod 10, but when choosing "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" it says that "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager". Of course my MicroSD is properly mounted (I can see its files in the card from console, from the "Terminal Emulator"). I think this happens because the MicroSD is mounted in /storage/sdcard1 instead of in /storage/sdcard0, but I can't change that. I can't download APKs from the browser, either, because it also says something similar about not being able to access the SD (even though it's correctly mounted and can see it mounted from Settings > Storage).
I've also tried the CyanogenMod A10 ROM available in this page, which is more recent (October instead of September):
http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/3870...mod-10-tweaks/
But the same happens.
I've even tried installing the CWM Recovery ROM, but it doesn't let me installing that from the Recovery either (same message about the "signature"), and with Odin3 it doesn't work either because I don't know how to reach the "download mode", which is needed for Odin3. Pressing Vol+ and Power I get the Recovery, but not the Download mode. Does anyone know how do I get to the download mode in the Sanei N10?
Any idea about how to solve this? Right now I have a tablet with no touchscreen and not even Google applications (so I don't even have the Play Store), so it's practically worthless (at least the WiFi works). How can I get this tablet back to being usable?
Did you fix this? I want to get this tablet and most likely want to root and rom it but if this is the case...

No, unfortunately I still couldn't fix it
There's nobody here in xda-developers who can help me? Surely somebody must know enough to help me find a solution.
I've tried creating a symbolic link from /storage/sdcard1 to /storage/sdcard (it doesn't exist right now), but it just says "link failed Read-only file system" (I was root, by typing "su" and clicking "Allow" in the Superuser window). So, I can't create symbolic links even while being root user? I need this link so ROM Manager can detect my SD Card (it says it's not mounted but it really is, but in "/storage/sdcard1").
Also, the gapps package linked in the ROM page above seems not to be properly signed, even though it has that "-signed" suffix in its name. I always get that "signature verification failed" error message. But now I've tried downloading a more recent gapps package (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) and that package finally worked! BUT, even though it apparently installed successfully, I still can't see any Play Store icon, nor any other Google app (Gmail, etc.). Why? Those icons should appear after installing gapps, shouldn't they? Maybe this newer "gapps" package is somehow incompatible with this tablet? (is this even possible?).
Also, even though I can now install the newer "gapps" package, I still can't install the "n10_compatibility_1.2.1.zip" file (I still get "signature verification failed" for that ZIP), which, I guess, contains the drivers needed for the N10 so the touchscreen works (currently it doesn't, and I have to use a USB mouse to use Android in this tablet). Any ideas? I'm getting tired of trying 9485738489754935627 things with no good result . I guess Android is showing here its Linux roots...
I think the key here is managing to install a new Recovery ROM that doesn't care about signing, but how do I do that? I can't install through ROM Manager because I get that error about the SDCard needing to be mounted to use it (and it's really mounted), and then I can't create the /storage/sdcard symbolic link because I get that "link failed Read-only file system" error. Also, I can't use Odin3 because I can't manage to put this tablet in Download Mode. Aaaargh! There's no good solution
Any ideas?
Bump!
I have same problem, i think that we need a different compatibility file, or perhaps if we could open install any app like Novo7 we could fix it... hope that anyone have the solution.

Thanks for replying. If we could find some way to install a new Recovery, then we'd probably by able to get the N10 Compatibility file working. This can't be that hard to do, but I've tried lots of things, and none of them worked...
Anyone?
Please, someone help!
Bump!
No ideas?
Please, I'm getting desperate

I'm having the same issue with [ROM][CM10/10.1][21 Dec] Codename Lungo
Well, at last I could finally solve the problem thanks to chris5s from this forum.
These are the steps that worked for me:
1. Download the latest ClockWorkMod for Allwinner A10 tablets from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1802268
2. Put all three files in the ZIP inside the root of a MicroSD card and insert it in the tablet
3. Check from the Terminal app inside the tablet to see if the MicroSD card is mounted in /sdcard (just type "ls /sdcard").
4. If the "ls" command doesn't show anything (that's what happened in my case), then you must modify the "install-recovery.sh" file and replace all instances of "/sdcard" with "/mnt/extsd".
5. With the proper "install-recovery.sh" file, run the commands specified in the above xda link (in my case the card is in "/mnt/extsd" instead of "/mnt/sdcard" as the original example shows):
su
cd /mnt/extsd
sh install-recovery.sh
sh reboot-recovery.sh
6. The tablet will then reboot to CWM recovery. Then follow the regular steps to install Cyanogenmod (wipe plus install ROM + GApps + Compatibility). This time the Recovery menu won't care about the files being unsigned and will install them right away!
I hope this helps somebody else!

Hello "lesanei"
I just noticed your posts. Let's see if I can help you...
The touchscreen doesn't work because the appropriate drivers were not installed (because of the "signature verification failed" issue). So you need to connect a USB mouse (and preferably a keyboard too) to the tablet. The Sanei N10 should come with a USB to micro-USB adapter. If you don't have it, you can buy it for cheap here.
Since there is only the one USB input in the tablet, you can't connect two USB devices at the same time. What I did use is a wireless mouse+keyboard combo which only needed one USB dongle for reception. If you don't have that, you can just connect a USB mouse and type with the on-screen-keyboard using the mouse. It's annoying, but it works
When I say "modify the install-recovery.sh file", I mean the file inside "cwm_recovery_6.0.1.2_a10.zip". You can modify it from your PC if you prefer. You don't have to do it in the tablet if you don't know how to use the "vi" editor (command line editor). Just open the "install-recovery.sh" file in Wordpad (do not use the Notepad, because it doesn't support Unix line endings so it shows the file incorrectly) and replace all instances of "/sdcard" with "/mnt/extsd". So the file contents should look like this:
#!/system/bin/sh
if busybox test ! -f /mnt/extsd/recovery.img; then
echo no /mnt/extsd/recovery.img
exit 1
fi
cat /mnt/extsd/recovery.img > /dev/block/nandg
sync; sync; sync
echo done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then place all three files ("recovery.img", "install-recovery.sh" and "reboot-recovery.sh") into your MicroSD card. Then safely extract it from your PC, insert it in the tablet and type this from the Terminal:
su
cd /mnt/extsd
sh install-recovery.sh
sh reboot-recovery.sh
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then follow the regular steps to install Cyanogenmod and this time all files should install sucessfully, so when rebooting, touchscreen and everything else will work.
Let me know if it works for you.
I am new to the Android world. I need some help, and while I have searched - I can't find an answer to this issue.
I have root access on my A13 MID tablet. When I insert an SDCard I see the 'mounted' notification, and in settings the sdcard displays under 'internal storage' along with the built-in system storage. (There is nothing in settings that says 'external storage'?)
When I open the camera app, or a media player app, I get an error: 'No external storage available' and the camera quits when I click ok.
Previously the camera worked, saving to built-in storage... but now I get this error with the sdcard in or out.
There is a file browser app that allows me to select the sdcard, and it works to browse the file system - so I think that the device is actually able to read the card.
What I am wondering about is if I can add/adjust mount points, or folder permissions to work around this?

Hi, Try this:
Method 1: (if you dont want to reboot your phone)
- kill/force close the camera and gallery in task viewer
Method 2:
- Hold power button upto 10-15seconds to reboot
Method 3:
Shutdown your phone then remove battery, insert again then boot.
Goodluck!

I've actually already done this. I force quit the apps, and I've also rebooted it. This had no effect. Thanks for your help!

ArikaSalaf,
Try to reflash to a factory ROM? I don't have an image for this tablet -- and my understanding is that the allwinner a13 tablets are each a bit different -- I may have to try many many ROMs I can find on google, and then I may never find one that works with the hardware.
I have cleared the app cache. I've gone into the recovery mode and cleared the cache. And I've gone into recovery mode and restored factory settings. None of these helped.
After restoring factory settings I still have root and su access - so that only deletes apps and settings, but does not fix the problem with the SDCard.
Thanks for the help,
-Matt
I am wondering if re-flashing the ROM is the consensus here? I am willing to try that, but I was hoping to do some troubleshooting. Thanks all.

Hi, I am not sure if re-flashing the ROM helps. I have exactly the same problem with my phone Huawei Honor and nothing helps, except tryning another ROM.
Did you get your tab to work.? i have the same issue. Tried to flash my SGS2 with 4.4.4 AOSB rom. i have exactly the same issue as you. "No external storage available."
I tried these in terminal emulator but no luck for me. you might get some help with this.
Code:
su
echo mkdir /storage/sdcard0 > /data/local/userinit.sh
chmod 700 /data/local/userinit.sh
reboot

So I rooted the tablet with kingo root program and now everytime the tablets powers down it resets itself to factory (i think it just formats /data because the apps i removed while rooted don't get back again ) I have read all the other threads involving this tablet and same problem but I cannot find any solution. The recovery says sdk 1.0.2 and it doesn't want to flash update.zip from HP (with/without sd card in , with update on internal/external storage , and adb sideload doesn't detect the device ) If anyone could help me it will be appreciated !
BIG EDIT : For everyone having the same problem : A solution I found is to go in the accesibility settings and thick "quick boot" and leave it always on , this way the tablet won't reset anymore on power off .
just restore it
restore it using adb sideload
