Hello all
My newly flashed SGS2 with the XXLPQ firmware, started acting wierd today.
Specifically, it will not load correctly the programs stored in my SD card. I know this should happen when "Media Scanning" is active or when the usb is plugged in. But neither of those are true
I tried restarting, plugging and unplugging the usb cable but nothing helped. First time i have had this issue and i've had this phone for 9 months (my SGS2 is from Amazon UK, way back in May when it was first released)
Did anyone else come across this problem? Is it possibly an issue with the new ICS?
Also see attached screenshots.
Thx XDA, <3 ya
I had this problem after rooting (installing a rooted kernel).
When i switched back to stock firmware, everything worked again.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem with a rooted kernel, please tell us
I did apply the latest CF-Root, however at that time the apps where loaded correctly from the SD Card
Today i restarted the phone and i could never get them back
Think you will find a fix on the forum now .

Indeed, Chainfire updated the kernel with an "SD Card fix". Check his thread.
Thanks for letting me know about the fix.
Here's a link to the post with the fixed CF-Root (named LPQ-PROPER)

Hi all, I need some help with my Folio 100. I have installed V1.3b FolioMod on my tablet and apparently everything works OK, all the applications work fine, Wifi is Ok........ but I've noticed that have stopped responding both SDcard slot as the USB port. I tried by all means go back to the stock mod but no way to do it since it seems not to find the SD.
In addition, reviewing the tablet with the file manager seems to be nothing in the internal storage (or folders or files). I´ve tried to connect with my computer using the mini usb port but I can´t.
Could anyone help me to recover my Folio????
Thanks and sorry for my english but It´s rusty
Try removing the battery for at least 5 minutes or so.
Hi Nemo0815, thanks for your response. I have removed the battery for half an hour and no change has happended.
Cheking the Folio in the device storage settings I have found that the total space in the internal storage is 0.00B and I don´t know where is the storage space.
Regards.
this happened once for me too, i just removed the battery, waited 30secs while holding power button down, so i could drain it for all remaining power..
inserted battery and all was ok, and usb was working again.
looks like he's having the filesystem-not-mounting bug.
Hi Dexter_nlb, I have tried your suggestion and the problem is still there.
I´m thinking if the problem could be in relation with the missing storage capacity.
Thanks.
pasting from first post of foliomod thread:
V0.0+ Generic format internal storage for all mods (so far) here, only needed if you got internal storage problems.
Rename downloaded patch to update.zip and install using recovery.
see if that one helps.
uh.. silly me... you have no way of getting it on there :S
you could try to remount using ADB, but i have no clue on how.. it should be somewhere in the foliomod-thread though.
Hi kepler1982, problem is the Sdcard slot don´t work.

you can always reach it with adb and a folioMod installed, through recovery..
so if you can install adb (android sdk tools) + the proper driver, you can at least login and see what is wrong..
but if a sdcard slot is not working at all, that can also be your sdcard not supported, many others has the "16GB" problem using NTFS formatted cards.
make sure the sdcard is fat32 formatted, make sure you put a "update.zip" in the root, when recovery should try and find it..
Hi kepler and Dexter. I´m installing SDV but I never used it before. Some help with this tool are welcomed.
Thanks

Yep maybe it's better for you to have a look in the foliomod topic, in the android dev. section. there you can read what is already possible

read the wiki's opened, those are there to help in such cases..
Hi, I had this problem once and I solved it like this :
1. Extract SD card.
2. Wipe your device, with the blue screen etc
3. Then install FolioMod 1.3d
For me it works, but yes i know all your data will be gone after this...
By the way, thank so much to you Dexter who transform my Folio in a great device. Keep going on !
Same problem
Hi, I have the same proble and symtoms are:
· No sdcard (neither internal nor external). In this state, update fails, because external SD card can't be reached. I've tried FolioMod13d, FolioStock and File system format, but they fail.
· Tablet sometimes starts, but you can't do anything, because neither internal storage is not available, nor external.
· Cannot reach tablet through ADB, because USB link cannot be stablished.
· Have tried extracting battery, pushing on/off button, internal "reset" pin point, putting a piece of paper, tighting screws... no result
· Sometimes, when starting, starts vibrating and keeps all time like that, untill you stop the device.
· And sometimes, tablet even doesn't start, you get only black screen. Other times, you got start screen, but flashing "Android" does not appear.
All things had been tryed on full battery and low battery. Non starting problem appears often when low battery.
Sugestions?
I have to say that your Folio seems to be be very capricious, I never had so much problem with mine.
If you can't switch it on and if it's still cover by warranty try to bring it back to your seller.
Sorry to be unable to help you...
Had my phone for a few months now and at the moment its rooted and ive installed a few roms on it. At the moment ive using Omega Rom which i do like apart from a few issues. Camera always asks me to install SD card.... even though its in. Anyway, not bothered with that for now.
Got 2 options at the moment.
1 - Unroot and install stock Samsung Firmware. I want to do this as there are 2 apps that dont work with a rooted phone which id like to use. Samsung Video App and NowTV. Id like the samsung app to work as when i 1st purchased my phone i had free credit to spend on it and i purchased a few films on there which ive never got round to watching. As for NowTV and possibly SkyGo, i need my phone rooted for these to work,
2 - Stick with a rooted phone and custom firmware. Im keeping an eye out for the new JellyBam v6 which hopefully is released this weekend.
Ideally id like to have the Jellybam rom installed with my phone unrooted. Would this be possible??
SuperUser app -> remove root
jellybam v6.7.0 Samsung GT-I9300
hi guys, it's my first post so i hope i'm in the right place.. just flashed jellybam v6.7.0 onto my phone and it's amazing, so smooth and quick compared to stock android jellybean.. however, i've got a constant message in my notification bar that says "blank SD card" and it won't let me mount SD, it keeps forcing me to format but i don't want to lose all my data. i've tried the card in my computer and it's definitely not corrupted, and all the data is still there. has anyone got any ideas what the problem is or how i can fix it?
many thanks in advance,
cheers

you're not in the right place, this is someone else's post. you should have posted in the Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting under a new thread. if your sd card works in you PC, transfer all your stuff over and format it, then try it!
G'day guys. First I would like to apologize just incase this has already been posted. I found a few threads in relation to storage issues but none of them seemed to have the same problem as mine. If this has already been discussed please post the link to the thread here.
I have an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S III I9300. Originally I had this rooted and flashed with a custom rom (I can't remember which one it was about 12 months ago). It was running fine. But I recently decided to remove the SD card as I wish to use it in another device. So I copied all the data from the SD card onto my PC, and then I copied the data from my PC to the phone storage after I had removed the SD card from the phone.
Again the phone worked fine. But then one morning after taking my phone off charge later in the day at work I tried to go into the gallery and it would come up with the message in the below screen shot.
s28(dot)postimg(dot)org/vk4exjdlp/Screenshot_2014_01_06_19_53_26.png (sorry for having to do that XDA won't allow new members to post links/images)
I tried a few things to fix it but I only have an intermediate grasp of features and hacks ect ect. So I decided the best thing to do was to flash back to a completely standard rom. Which I did just an hour ago (Using the I9300XXEMC3_I9300NEEEMC1_I9300XXEMB6_HOME.tar relased from samsung flashed via Odin 3.07)
However even after this factory flash I still have this issue! I can't access the gallery and I can't save images at all. If anybody could help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe because you have removed your external SD card your camera app is trying to store images to it but it can't because it's not there... See if you can change in camera settings where it stores your images to internal instead of external.
The phone automatically changed the settings to storage device when the SD card was removed. Never the less I doubled checked and indeed it is set to device.
It's not just the camera tho. Nothing will save. Screenshots, downloads, camera ect ect. I can't open the gallery app at all.
Also I just noticed a secondary problem. When I open up the camera app I can see everything fine inside the app but when I go to take a photo I doesn't save it (which I already knew, part of the original problem) but I just noticed when I tried to close the camera app after taking a photo it wouldn't let me! It would not close. All the setting tabs greyed out so I couldn't go into any of the menus and I had to force restart the phone to be able to use it again!!!!

Clear all data and freeze the one that's causing problems and backup and uninstall and use another..If you like stock camera try one of the modded ones in themes thread...
This thread can be closed now.
I'm still not exactly sure what the problem was or specifically what fixed it. But last night i decided to root the phone again and install a custom rom (I installed Android Revolution HD 40.0) and after it was flashed everything works as normal.
So sorry if you happen to have the same problem as me and stumbled across this thread at a later date. I don't know how to fix the problem but apparently a root and custom rom works wonders. lol.
Thanks for the help anyway tallman43.
Hi guys,
I've been looking for a fair few hours now via search and google.. but I can't seem to find an answer.
In short, I just upgraded my i9305 to the latest SlimKat, and it seems to not register my SD card anymore. When I go to storage, it reads as 0B.
I can unmount and mount, but nothing else.
I've tried inserting another blank sd card and trying to get it formatted, but it does nothing and registers as 0B, after it reboots the OS.
I'm not sure what to do here, so I'm asking for help. I can see and install zips it via recovery (cwm.)
I'm just not sure what to do.

not sure.but it sounds like a bug in the rom .you might want to rollback to the previous version.(assuming it worked fine) if you think it's the card(i.e if the computer reads it as 0b then try sd formatter just remember to enable the change size option

I've rolled back but I noticed that all builds from 3.8 onwards are like this. (I just flashed build 4, which was recently just linked on xda)
It's definitely not the card as I've tried putting a fresh card to get it reformatted...
Not sure where I go from here, and I can't post on the dev thread as I'm under 6 posts... if someone knows why this is happening, as it seems peoel are either ignoring it or it hasn't been bought to their attention, it would be awesome.
Cheers mate.
I just hope I don't get stuck with this version. lol. Maybe it's time to move on from slimkat. (I hope not.)
Just a quick update sort of:
1) I realized that I may have posted this on the wrong forum, as there's a troubleshooting Q&A for the i9035 which is what I have.
Any chance of a mod moving it over there?
2) Also I have now installed vanilla cyanogenmod on the phone and it read the SD card okay, it must be the rom, prolly hasn't ported properly or something... do'h!

Ok, so I got the tronsmart vega s89 and I can't install purchased apps on it I get error (couldn't install on USB storage or SD card) funny thing is no first time I tried install I didn't have sd card in. I have looked for the temp file smt2 or whatever it is, its not here. This device is on kitkat and I think has a bad path to install location. Can I Change the install location? This error only happens with purchased apps NOT free ones. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Should work if you just remove your Google Account and then add it back and try again.

No, I wish it was that easy. I have tried Factory reset and removing account.
Sounds like a pain! Do you have more than 1 account on the tablet or use 2 different Google accounts? Seems like many people with this issue had success by using the Play Store site on the PC to tell it to install. Obviously not ideal, but just seems to be a weird thing that affects certain devices / updates. There is a thread here with various ideas and fixes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548604

This is a known issue. The manufacturer has been made aware of this and they will fix it soon. People have reported that if you restore paid apps with something like titanium backup then it works - so thats the wokaround if need paid apps for now.
Head to this forum - the developers do there magic there not in XDA.

I searched a lot for this and finally got this solution.. It worked for me..
All u have to do is unmount sd card before installin and u can see it installs perfectly.....
After install u can mount sd card again
