Need Some Help... - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

I'm in need of help.. I think i just broke my SD Card.
First of all.. Im using W-Stor 16GB SD Card. And ICS Final ROM from kevinlekiller from Xda. And my baseband is XXKPH 2.3.7.
I'll list the stuff I've been doing since yesterday...
-Its chinese new year, so I mostly have my phone idle.... I started using it @ 1PM to check for some SMS, there are no prob at that time
-For the rest of the day, I didnt touch my phone... till 8PM, when I open my phone and read Manga from Mango, I noticed that my phone's a bit laggy... So.. I went to Settings > Applications > Running Services , to terminate some background Activity, But its really laggy that it shows Force Closed Settings. After that my phone rebooted itself. After the reboot, i found that my Memory card is not mounted, so i Removed it and re-insert it. Still Nothing, I checked at Settings > Storage and it shows:
Total Space
Unavailable
Available Space
Unavailabe
And the "Mount SD Card" is displayed in a darker color, which means... cant be clicked.
I then rebooted my phone and tried it again, still.. the same result.
-The next day, I tried plugging it into a Card Reader and the computer cant recognize it. I tried mounting via ADB Shell and still wont work.... then i got back to the phone and rebooted to CWM 5 recovery, and tried to mount /sdcard, still wont work...
Can anyone provide help?

I think your SD is corrupted. Not just corrupted, bricked to the max.

I think there might be a way to recover my files... or at least being able to reformat it

[Q] "Removed Internal SD CARD! HELP!

Okay thanks to this amazing community I can now use my vibrant as a phone again! There is still one last problem that is making it so my vibrant wont work. When I power it on after using odin, it boots up as normal then goes into its scan for media, then pops up and says "Removed Internal SD Card" and goes away right away. After that it gives me the cant read micro sd card error. When I go into settings it shows that both the internal and the external SD cards are unavailable. Although it does show the 1.7gb that I have for apps. Everything works as normal, but I cannot use the camera, I cant root the device, or have any apps that require files beyond the .apk. Again any help with this would be amazing!

menu > Settings > phone storage
can you unmount/mount then reboot? Never heard of this before, and you sound like you had other issues but I don't know what since you created a new thread (I suppose?)
oh sorry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043892 is my last issue. When I go into settings it is all greyed out. I cant click on it at all.

[Q] Partially downloaded Apps

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace. I tried to download an update for Where's My Water. The update was about 30Mb and I had about 40 Mb of internal storage and about 3 Gb open on the SD card. I thought I would download it and it would go to my SD card as that is where the game is. But when I downloaded it the update stopped part way through and said I didn't have enough memory. Problem is it still used up my space so I am down to about 10 Mb of internal storage and am not sure how to delete the partial download. I am guessing there might be a way through Kies but my computer fried and am waiting for my new computer to arrive. I was hoping there would be a way to do it from the phone itself. My phone isn't rooted. Sorry if this was asked already but I couldn't find anything in the forum using the search function.

Sorry kind of new to my phone. Do you mean this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437426
When I get my computer can I get rid of the download through Kies?
He means turn phone off and back on holding middle button down. Phone will boot into recovery mode. Select option to wipe cache then reboot. (the touchscreen wont work so use the volume buttons to navigate up and down and the middle button to select. Back button for back).
I didn't knew this would work.
Thanks for the info emoboiix3.

I tried the reset. Seemed to get some of the memory back but still about half of what it was before the download. I am sitting at 20 Mb instead of the 40 Mb I had before.

This is the Ace's cache size....I know I couldn't download Where's My Water through the Mart......so I downloaded the free version online....

Well, I got the storage back. I did the reset like you said again. Didn't seem to do anything. Than I cleared the data in the Download Manager which also didn't seem to do anything. I was gonna try again later but when I checked my phone again the storage was back so not really sure how that happened but it did. I cleared my phone to over 50Mb internal memory and tried the download again. Got the same error but was able to clear the storage again. You said that the Ace isn't able to download it. How was I able to do it the first time? Cause I can't seem to do it now.

Can't mount internal storage / emmc

Hi everyone!
This is sort of my first post on here, so please correct me if I'm posting the wrong place or anything like that
I'm fairly new to all the rooting and custom ROMs and all, but i enjoy it - it works great!
Now, though, I have a serious issue! I've been running the stock CM10 ROM for about a month now, and I haven't encountered anything huge of problems and been updating it almost every day with newest nightlies. But then suddenly one day my phone couldn't mount the internal storage. And it was like at a random time. I hadn't installed anything or changed anything, i had just taken a picture with the camera..
When I go to settings > storage I get a "Internal storage: 1.97 GB - apps: 868 MB - available: 868MB. and underneath that it says "Internal storage: Mount SD card", however nothing happens when i press it. When using a file manager, I can still see the extSD. I've been googling everything like crazy, tried every solution to what looked to be the same issue but no results! Even when booting CWM and go to mount, it can't mount the mnt/emmc or format it or the SD card. It just says "error running /emmc!".
I haven't tried to factory reset as I would like this to be the last thing tried as I don't like setting my phone up again.
Please help! I can't take photos, watch my photos, listen to music or run half of my apps!
So, what's the status? No one knows what to do?

Thanks for reply!
I haven't tried exactly that app, but I've tried a lot of remount / mount SD card apps. But isn't RemountSD just to use extSD instead of internalSD?
Sorry, I can't try it atm. I can't download anything directly from my phone "without an SD" as it says.. and i don't have a USB cable or SD card reader atm.

Internal Storage Full After Factory Reset

Hi,
I have a Huawei Ascend G6 (U10) and rooted my device with TowelRoot 3.0
When you get a new phone it's custom to first fully charge your device and then let it fully deplete before fully charging it again to make sure you use the full capability of your device's battery. (during this time I rooted my device) Now, while it was at only 3% of battery I was playing a silly game, called Can KnockDown 3. While playing this game, my device turned off due to no battery. After it fully charged again, I tried to run the game again but it got stuck on the initialisation screen.
No big deal, I thought. So, I went on and just un-installed it and tried to re-install it. Problem is, I got Google Play error 492 when I tried to download/install the game once more. So I restarted my device, tried to un-install the Play Store and tried a hard reboot. None of those worked.
After some reading I got to know that I had to install an app called "ROM manager", boot into Recovery Mode and delete the Dalvik Cache (Which was said to be located in "Settings". Now, I don't know much about phones, nor Android. So that proved quite difficult. I went into Recovery Mode but was unable to find the "Settings" tab. So, I wiped Cache and the other setting. Can't quite remember. When I rebooted it, the problem was STILL not solved.
Now, I never noticed the REAL problem because I had my external SD card mounted.
This morning, I wanted to change my profile picture on an app called What's App Messenger. It gave me the following error: "Failed to load image data, please try again later." That really bothered me and after a reboot the problem was still not solved. I quickly realised that all my pictures were on my external SD so I turned off my phone to take it out. Booted it without external SD. Tried to make a picture with my camera, but it said "Internal Sotrage full. Please insert an SD card." but when I went to my filemanager there was NOTING on my internal SD. No maps, nothing. However, in my settings it says that only 1.98 GB of the 4 GGB internal storage is used...
Could someone please help me with this?
try using DiskUsage app, it shows every folder in your phone and how much space they take, also if you have rooted your phone, it shows wich system folders take most of the space (logs and tmp folders, safe to erase)

I appreciate your reply, but I don't think that's the problem. I think my internal SD card is f***ed up now. I've tried wiping it all I want but to no avail. Probably something went wrong with rooting it, or installing ClockWorkMod or something. I don't know.
What I do know is that I need help!
Have you found a solution

Link2sd "broke" my phone

I have a 16gb Samsung Galaxy s5, that is rooted and its external SD card used to work just fine its internal storage also displayed just fine on pc. However when I booted up link2sd on teh phone and tried to link or bind stuff (i was restored my files and data from an old 4.4.2 lg volt phone to my galaxy s5 6.0.1 phone) and all my apps and data restored just fine via titanium backup. apparently though link2sd rusn differently on an s5 using mashmallow than it dos on a lg volt using kitkat as when I booted it up and rie dto rebind/relink all my apps back to sd on the s5.
It got a message saying something like (i dont remember the error well) "this device doesnt support sdext and needs sdefs, would you like to change it. This can be changed back at any time in the slider" So I figured. Ok even if it dosnt work I can change it back with the slider so I hit yes to change. Yet nothings binded or linked and when I tried to go back and relink all apps manually its saying sd card not found or mounted. Im thinking umm this card was JUST used to restore a titanium backup so why isnt i found?
So I plug the phone into my pc and sure enough not only do I not see an external storage I also notice I cant access the phones internal storage (well i can but its nothing it it) and the pc shows it as 127 mb free of 128 mb... im thinking 128mb? Umm it should say 16gb. So i chdck the storage on the phone itself and it says sd card is unmounted (titanium backup says the same thing when before link2sd titanium accessed my sd card just fine). But the internal storage on the phone reads as 9.82 Gb used of 14-16gb (close to it) which is correct so Im like why doesnt the pc read it as such? I used to just fine before I did what I did on link2sd.
Lastly i took the sd card out of the phone and put in a different sd card and it shows it as unmounted too. so got the first sd card that I previously took out of the phone plugged it into my pc and my pc reads it just fine along with all my backups and what not so i know the sd card isnt damaged. Sooo how do i change whatever i changed on link2sd to get my phone to recognize my sd card correctly again and get my pc to recognize the external storage when its plugged into the phone and recognize the internal storage of the phone as the right size again?
update.
Ok Im having a HUGE problem. My phone worked fine at first, then I rooted it and used titanium backup to restore all my apps from my old phone (an lg volt) to my current phone an S5... everything was fine. My phone recognized my SD card, when I plugged the phone into my PC it would show my correct phone internal storage as well as my sd card storage. Then I ran link2sd to relink all my data to my sd card... even though i didnt need to because unlike my old phone which was 8gb the s5 was 16gb and had more than enough space to run my apps without the link2sd. If I had left that alone we wouldnt be where we are now. However I didnt so here we are.
Link2sd had message saying something like "this device doesnt support /sdext and has to be changed to sdefs (i know im getting the message way wrong but it was something like that) these settings can be changed via slider". So I clicked yes to let it do what it had to do. after all if I didnt like the results I could always change back via the slider right? link2sd required a reboot after the changes were made and now when it boots after the samsung and sprint logos and before the lock screen Im staring at a black screen that shows the time and "no connection" for about 30 secs before the lock screen shows up (this didnt happen before link2sd made whatever changes it made) and the "process system not responding" message shows up. Though the only adverse affects Ive sen from that so far is when I open Gallery it stops and closes automatically so I cant even use it.
However I couldnt find said slider and now when I hooked my phone to PC it shows no external storage and reads my internal as 127MB free of 128mb (yes that right... 128 mb.. on a phone thats supposed to be 16gb). When i go to storage on the phone itself It said sdcard unmounted (as if theres not one there) and my internal storage shows 9gb used of 14gb so the PHONE knows how much gb I should have but my pc doesnt. Also if i take the sdcard out of the phone and plug it into my pc directly everything shows up on it just as it should so i know the sd card isnt broken.
So I found solutions like reboot phone in recovery and have it wipe cache. I did that.... didnt work. Then I tried unrooting the phone and factory data reset (from the phone settings not from the recovery boot). Despite doing a factory rest which SHOULD fix ANYTHING wrong with the phone, delete all apps and make it run just as it did when you got it. That black screen between logos on lock screen still pops up and I get the "process system not responding" message still appears. Now my PC doesnt see my phone at all when Its plugged in.
So I tried booting in safe mode to see if that message still comes up and the answer is yes but now my pc sees my phone (no sd card in it but I doubt it will see it if it was) however it still displays the storage as 127mb of 128mb
So link2sd started this whole problem and factory reset wont even solve it. Ive provided plenty of details. Can this be fixed or if my phone pretty much done now (i can still use it for texts and calls but, its useless hooked to a pc, doesnt recognize external storage anymore and I cant use the gallery sooooo yea. I hope someone has a solution.
You can't partition 64GB up sdcards.
Use Sandisk Sdcards
Never use Kingstom
Your phone supports ext2 if you install ext tool on.
I HATE SAMSUNG and all that is ext4 devices.
Try find yaffs2 devices.

I partitioned my 128gb card just fine
its a samsung card.
Even if I unpartitioned the card that isnt gonna make the phone read it and do what its supposed to do again so. Im gonna need a reply that helps or at least attempts to help the actual MAJOR problems Im having with the phone right now thank you.
Just explained, none of pc types will repartition again your sdcard, this what i said upon, (don't create 64GB up partitions becausr you ca'nt), at least any mobile too. Recuse usage of 64Gb up sdcards
This is a tip, that i learned, samsung is venom, they have the solution for recover your sdcard 128g because they done this, go ask them
Remember:
Never use 64GB up sdcards. Is a sane tip...

and again the sd card is the least of my worries how about the problems I listed like my 16gb phone showing up as 128mb on my pc,. not being able to look at the internal storage files/folders on my pc, the "system process not responding" message that come up, even in safe mode and still hasnt went away after a factory reset as such none of my apps (like google maps, internet or even gallery are working, only thing I can do with this phone now is call and text. How about you try focusing on THOSE issues please. Thank you.
Well in case anyone was wondering I solved the problem, reflashing the stock rom then rerooting fixed everything.. I just know not to use link2sd on this phone again
Having the same problem here... how to fix?
I fixed it
Link2sd creates a backup during the process
Just delete the
System/sdcard.bin or (system/sdcard)
And rename the backup named
sdcard.original.pre-link2sd
To
Sdcard.bin
Reboot phone and #Enjoy
This took me 3 days 2 figure out??

UPDATE!!
Got it! My backup files were in /system/bin
but there were two files (sdcard and sdcard.bin). I deleted the sdcard.bin and renamed the sdcard.original.pre-link2d to sdcard.bin.
