I keep getting this annoying pop-up message at boot about moving data to the external SD card. When I looked into this the solution is to...
"in root explorer, go into /data/sdcard/
either move all files inside this folder to your /sdcard/ folder (the one not inside /data), or delete them entirely."
However, this will work for a week or so but then the message will return and I will have to repeat the previous process. It's not that big of a deal, but, it is annoying. Especially since I have no room on my External SD anyways... Does anybody know how to permanently solve this issue?
No one...?
hmm odd, i haven't seen this issue myself. wish i had an answer for yah
I have that issue but didnt know the (temp) fix until now. Thanks.
I am just having this issue on Huawei Ideos X5 (u8800).
I don't have an external sd card and I think it WANTS me to have one and somehow is confused...
This hasn't happened to me in a while. But when it did I usually did 1 of 2 things...
1. Try the steps for the temp. fix above in the OP.
2. Just click "yes" when the popup occurs. I've found it actually doesn't put a single thing on the external SD card.

That used to happen to me alot! It was almost like everytime the phone rebooted or anytime I disconnected it from my PC if I had been transferring files. I think at the time I was running the MIUI "SS" or "ReVaMpEd" ROMs from 360. Ever since I flashed the MIUI-SGSII 360 ROM, I haven't seen that again. I never found a fix when I saw it usually I just ignored it, it was more of an inconvenience than anything.
Good luck!

I guess it has something to do with mount instructions given from rom.
I tried putting # in front of ro.etc etc etc *stuff*.additional.mounts=/mnt/emmc but same thing happens.
sd message
Hi, i have a huawei u8800 and was getting this message, i fixed it by removing all the files from my internal sd card(which i do not use) - /mnt/emmc
it has not come back yet
^ Hmmm, thats interesting. Never tried that method... Lol. I'm supprised people still are even having this issue though. I haven't had it in ages... or 4 months... Anyways the solution I put in the OP works to solve it and I found another method that I put in the FAQ of my miui guide (link in signature and it's stickied in the Q&A of the Vibrant forum). But never heard one about deleting the emmc folder.

==== Update 20120215 ==========
It seems Galaxy Note also has this problem.
jager13 has posted this issue in code.google.com, so please anyone with this issue comment there so that google devs can know about it and fix it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=25563
==========================
I believe that many of us (if not all) should have this problem.
I got so many apps installed, so many of them are installed in SD Card automatically by Android or I manually moved them to SD Card.
(In total I have ~650 app elements in Titanium Backup and keep growing depending on what I have installed or haven't restored at any given point)
The problem is since I updated from 2.3.4 to version >= 2.3.5 even to ICS 4.0.3 LP2, LP6, LPB, LPH.
Problem:
- Power On then phone will reboot after some 2-5 minutes idle and again reboot infinitely so I cannot use my phone at all.
- If I removed my external SD Card, no more reboot.
- Or if I delete some amount of .asec files in ".android_secure" folder (where the app in sd card is saved) in the external SD Card no more reboot.
- And yes, I have done many (if not all) imaginable things: re-flash, factory reset, wipe cache, fix permission, change SD Card, reinstall from market...
- And no, this is not specific SD Card problem.
There is older thread talking about this problem but the thread is about general reboot problem so it got mixed with other kind of reboot.
After trying ICS leaks in a hope that the problem is fixed I find that it is still NOT fixed
and maybe won't be fixed if not enough people complain about this problem.
And I think Samsung developers and QA don't know this issue.
It will be shame if SGS3 still has this problem. I absolutely won't buy it.
So to check this, I hope the reader of this thread to try this (Samsung based ROM > 2.3.4 only):
- Please move as many apps as you can or all of your apps to SD Card..
- Or please install as many apps as you can from market and moved them to SD Card if not already.
- The apps number is not exact (60 maybe more), more is better, maybe related with apps size too.
(I found that when my ".android_secure" folder size in external sd card approaching ~1.5GB maybe more, the reboot problem occurs)
- And then tell here that you have infinite reboot or not in idle mode 2-5 minutes after power on. Please try 2-3 times.
- Also post your ROM/kernel version, stock or mods.
- And please check that removing the external SD Card solve the reboot problem.
Remember that u have to be at least Samsung based ROM version 2.3.5 because this problem is side effect (2.3.4 and earlier does not have this problem).
For us who has this problem, please add your post to this thread to keep it alive
and don't forget to rate high so it will get attention from other users and hopefully from Samsung.
Let's make this issue known to Samsung.
And I hope that people who got firmware leaks from Samsung can tell them about this problem/thread.

May I know which ROM/kernel u use?
Are u using Samsung based ROM > 2.3.4?
I have this bad problem. I posted about this problem on old topics and how to remove this problem by return to old firmware with android 2.3.4.
Thank you for opening this thread because It is I think a general problem and the big problem that its happened with ICS. I tried and tried to solve this problem without success but I found that this problem start faster after transfer small size apps.
This problem must be solved, because we need to transfer apps to SD card.
Thanks again dragon135
i can confirm i am another user who had no issues at 2.3.4 upgraded to ICS LP2 this evening and now have this problem! not cool....

I have had the same problem with the following Samsung Android versions:
2.3.5
2.3.6
I have a SGH-I777 (AT&T Galaxy S II).
I have tried several class 4 and a new class 10 made by Samsung. Same results.
After using App2SD and after moving several apps to SD, the device will eventually reboot right after the SD scan completes.
Removing the SD is the only way to fix this. You can reformat the SD card but the problem will eventually occur when you move several apps to the SD card again. I have been unable to identify a particular app that triggers this reboot.
i have the same problem with my lg o2x. no solution??
exactly the same issue with my Captivate
I moved more than 100 APPs to SD recently. It worked fine with Froyo. The only problem I had is the icon disappearing issue. After switching to GO launcher, everything worked fine. Today I upgrade my phone to GB (KK4, 2.3.5), and started to have the same problem. I have to unmount my SD card to keep my phone away from rebooting. With my wife's card, only data on it, my phone had no issue. Once I put my card back, it starts again.
I can confirm. This issue exists and NOT just samsung firmware. i had the same issue running MIUI. When there are too many apps (my count is 264 apps) the phone will boot, the back of the phone will get really hot and then within 2-3 minutes of booting reboot again to the same unlock or home page screen. And it will keep doing it until your battery is dead. it also drains the battery like crazy!!!
Seriously wtf?
Is there a way to move those APPs back to phone? This is really annoying.

yes, just cut some .asec-files (as many as it needs) from the .android_secure folder an paste them into another folder, so that the phone won´t reboot anymore.
the apps according to the .asec files now won´t be shown in appdrawer.
than you install gemini app manager and move the smallest (if you have not much space on phone) or just some other apps you want back to phonememory. after that you can put the .asec files back in to the android_secure folder, so that those apps appear again in app drawer.
if phone still reboots: same precedure.
like others wrote, and my own experience: abourt 50 files in android_secure folder is ok, more: reboots.
or if you have backups from your apps in titanium:
put sd card in pc. delete all the small asec files, so that in android_secure folder remain only the biggest files. and not more than 50 files.
better only 40. than your phone should work again and you can restore those small apps with titanium, but before that, you tell titanium only to restore into internal memory.
this helps for me. but i really wouldlike to be able to install more apps an sd card! nobody??

As requested I also have this issue.
Seriously considering the downgrade to 2.3.4 despite the aggravation it will cause me.
I transfered all of them to my laptop first and then moved them back ~20 APPs at a time. But then I got the 'phone storage space is getting low' error. Trying to fix it eventually led to a 'factory reset'. I don't have backup for all of the APPs. Without all those junks the phone was very smooth and stable. Once I restored a few APPs and moved them to SD card, I was hit by random shut-down issue but no reboot yet. Finally I figured out why my phone went to sleep almost every night with me. LOL. It happened just after I moved most of my APPs to SD. WTF.
I recently noticed a few of my apps started saying "app not installed" when I tried to launch them.
So I tried to reinstall them but every time at the end of the installation the installer would say "app was not installed" and installing from the market it would say "couldn't install to USB storage or SD card".
So I tried to uninstall the apps and start from scratch but they all looked corrupted in the app list, they all started with com. and had the generic android icon.
I got rid of all these and still no luck so I checked online and there was loads of forums saying get rid of all the smdl2tmp1.asec files in /sdcard/.android_secure and /mnt/secure/asec/.
With all that done I still get the same problem
I then unmounted the SD card, backed it up, formatted it mounted it back and again same problem!!!!!
Then just as a last resort I unmounted the SD and installed the apps and they all installed and run perfectly Mounting the SD card back and trying to move apps to SD card fails! I've tried 2 good SD cards and still get this problem it's doing my head in!!!
Does anybody have an answer as I'm baffled?!
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2

16gb Nook Tablet. Internal NookOS has never been messed with. I've been running CM7 from the SD card. The CM7 crashes a lot because of my SD card and apparently that's messed up the NookOS and now I can't boot back into the internal. I've tried the step-by-step Unbrick from the thread here and that didn't work. It keeps going back to "Please Restart Your Device...".
Any ideas?

Hello,
Ive recently been having a really annoying flaw with my system, i'm still unable to identify if my phone has caught some form of a virus or if theres something thats changed and not allowing my phone to function correctly.
Please be patient as i have a bit to explain in order to give you guys the full picture of my problem so that it can hopefully be fixed.
Ok so initially everything was working fine and there was no problems. I personally believe but i may be wrong the problem started when i downloaded ttorrent pro apk via a google link and inadvertently provided the installed app with much more access to my phone that was required. Having realized that the app was incorrect i immediately removed it from my phone using titanium backup. i also removed all data and cache at the same time.
So i took some photos whilst on my cousins stag in Barcelona a short time ago and the images were taken whilst i was on 4.2.1, but once i came home and collaborated my photo's and videos with a couple from the stag (they were using the s4) the images became corrupt. I had a full backup of these images on my Mac and they are all ok and can be viewed with no difficulty. The problem arises when i put the folder back onto my android device. Since i have tried a few method to fix this issue but to no avail. All virus check on both the phone and the folder of photos on my mac came back all clear.
The photo's are stored on my External SD Card which is brand new and seems to work fine. This Ex SD Card is not the same as the one i used on the stag(it broke and i purchased a new one since). I often found sometimes that the folder names were changing aswell in the External SD Card, for example i would import 7 folders which all contained images. after a short while, 3 of them would corrupt and the folder name would change to eg. ulbum. With the u being the u from utorrent.
The thing is the images are there to be seen in my files on the android but with no thumbnail and the images do not load. But some of the images in the same folder to seem to work. Ive tried using alternative galleries to see if this fixes the issue but it didnt seem to work. It really frustrating as ive tried so many method and got so many people involved.
Please provide me with some further suggestions because i cant seem to find anyone with the exact same problem.
Thank You in advance
Factory reset, format your SD card (with SD tool) and try again - without transferring anything from your PC. If everything works at that point then probably a virus or SD corruption.
If still the same then flash a fresh stock ROM with Odin, don't use the SD initally to prove the hardware isn't faulty.
Also check your phone bill, warez has a habit of dialling premium rate lines in China for days on end. Never install anything to found on google, if you can't find it on XDA then it probably isn't legit.

Thank You for your quick response. I've done a factory since the problem, flashing back an omega rom on my device. The problem still continued. The photo's can be viewed fine on my Mac...it seems to happen when i move them over to my phone as shown in the pictures in the top post.
I've run a scan on the images on my Mac and it came back all clear. Originally this whole corruption was apparent with one main folder which was of a stag do last month. Since my most recent attempt a further folder is no longer working. This was a album taken over a year ago on my iphone. The videos however from my album last month have started worked :S
This is all abit strange as ive taken a set of photos with the camera app and they dont seem to become corrupt. But ive put the images on a friends SD Card and put that in my phone and it seems to happen to that album aswell. Is there a further internal root which may have become infected and making this happen by targeting certain pic's/albums in my gallery.
My friend is adamant the photo's have become corrupt but they work perfectly on my MAC.
Ive formatted this SD Card on atleast 10 different occassions aswell.
If your phone was rooted then yes, system partition can be changed by virus. Flash a stock ROM with Odin and format the SD.

I agree with your friend. Your pictures must be corrupted or the filesystem on your external SDCard is corrupted too.
Try to copy all your files into a safe place (your Mac HDD) and verify that all files are done.
After, format this ExtSDCard (with the phone for example) et refill the SDCard. Check if I solve the problem.

As a 4 year long Android Root lover, I got recently really disappointed with such fragility of the Hardware and Softwares as well. I Always defended Samsung/Android over Apple/OS because of the versatility and incredible (Samsung) hardware quality, until what happened...
After many years of Cyanogen Mod tranquility, I decided to experiment other ROM variations and SLIM BEAN was quoted to be a light-weight battery saver (My battery was not lasting one full day on idling).
I Flashed SlimBean 9 (JB 4.2) over CM10 (JB 4.2 as well). Everything went well and I was using the phone without issues, in exeption for a high software instability. So that it happened (I`ll try to make a long story short), during a regular BACKUP (with My Backup Root) the phone unexpectedly rebooted and automatically went to the SEMAPHORE 6.0 CWM boot screen (which I dont remeber to have it installed). After that, the phone went into a boot loop on Galaxy/Vibrant screen and no way to reinstall any other room again (showing failure messages when trying to write or wipe data on ":/data" and "/emmc"directory. After many attempts to flash it back to stock with odin (re-partitioning or not), the phone was always caught in the boot loop.
After more than 1 week reading the many good posts in this forum, I have finally realized what may be the cause of the failure. Maybe my internal /SD Card was ruined BY Slim Bean and my last hope should be a 16GB external SD to try to "revive" it (I was intendind to sell it :crying.
So far, I was able to install ICS ROM (Many thanks to Fernhamm and XSenman for the posts) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123
But no way to be able to install any APP (Like the ES Explorer for SD reprogramming), save config data or even receive any messages (fails on saving the message).
The SIM is fine, since I can connect to the internet and make calls.
It shows no info for the internal storage size but recognizes 4gb of external storage (my actual SD card).
according this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123
It should be able to, at least, install apps from Google Play, or even using contacts and receiving messages.
It looks like he is recognizing the Ext. SD card but is not using it, at all (its only 4GB, but should be useful).
I will be very thankfull if you guys could give me a hint about how can I solve this issue. I have browsed over the forum but apparently no one is experimenting this specific situation.
OBS: I have noticed that all the threads, in this regard, were concerning the I9000 and none for the Vibrant.
Thanks to all and congratulations for this forum!

But also have seen guys like "ferhanmm" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123 that actually fixed his internal SDCard by using the "OVERSTOCK Kernell" flashing it thru Odin. Unfortunately (due to the forum rules) I was not authorized to reply on his post.
The point is, according the first solution (External SD card swap), I am not being allowed to save the Vol.fstab file after editing it on ES Explorer. It shows up a warning message that "due to an error (not specified) the file will not be saved".
I have been already, for 2 full weeks, trying desperately make this piece of plastic usefull, but have always some bug to fix.
Taking advantage from this post, is there any possibility to repartition or format the (not mountable) Internal SDcard?? Because it was broken by some software, i believe some kernell might put it back to place (Overstock, Eugene`s, Semaphore???).
Thanks to all.
Read my post. I forgot to disable voodoo lag fix and borked the partitions. This fixed it. I'm now back on hellybean
Make sure to let each ROM boot normally before you flash the next. I even went as far as formatting the internal SD card after each ROM booted and settled from within the settings.
Oh in vodoo recovery you can't flash from your ext SD, it doesn't recognize it. Mount in vodoo recovery via menu and put update-cm 7.1.zip on tour internal as well as cm 10.1 nightly or any other ROM you'd like to flash. I don't recommend any ICS ROMs due to EU bug. Flash 7.1 to format to mtd then flash your jb ROM. You'll have to flash GB boot loaders if you get power reset or unknown upload mode bug.

Eugene s unbrickable, stock 2.1 then bionix fisherman mod. Disable lag fix.
Search for "MBR error vibrant" and one of those will mention Eugene's unbickable and a detailed guide.

THere's no relation to Lagfix because when I flash it back to Odin, it still does not recognizes the internal SD. All configs should go back to the originals (ain't it?).
