Problem with root on ics - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, very very sorry for posting here.. but as a new user can't find how to post in the appropriate topic.
So I'm trying to root my galaxy s2. I'm on ics for a while now and I'm trying the method without changing the kernel by Rachmat3. I've transferred the files in sdcard(actually both external (which i formatted first) and internal sd), i rebooted in recovery mode but when i chose apply update from external storage it showed in red that failed because couldn't mount sdcard.. I've read that some others had the same problem but i found no solution... Please any help would be great!!

New to S II, NOOB QUESTIONS

Ok i am new to this phone, just some questions. I am coming from NEXUS S.
First of all, I flashed CWM 4.0 using ODIN, so how did it update itself to 5.0??
Second, with 4.0 I dont have any problems, but with 5.0.2.7, how do you mount internal memory??
What is emmc, efc etc. In nexus S, it just used to mount internal memory because it never had a slot for micro SD. But since this phone has internal and additional SD slot, maybe there is a way to mount internal memory too on CWM 5.0? On 4.0 i just select mount USB storage and it mounts but not on 5.0. It just says - "unable to write to ums lunfile". How do you guys mount storage to flash roms???
Also, I want to do a complete clean install on this other ROM. How can I flash everything from 100% clean??
Also, on this other ROM, the apps were being downloaded automatically from saved settings under google account. Then all of a sudden after a few apps, it just said - ERROR DOWNLOADING. No more space left or something....but I had lots of space though...whats going on here???
Please help me with this issue, I will be really thankful.
Sorry, don't mean this to come out the wrong way, but, Please search the forums with the search bar, also faq in general and q&a etc. first. Google will help also.
After that, come back and ask, most more experienced users will then be willing to try explain if able.

Of course i searched and still couldnt find any helpful details. This is why I posted here. Please help anyone.
I can't answer your first or third question but I'll answer the second one. In order to get a fresh install, you need to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe system. After that, then you can flash the ROM you want.

When you mount the phone via CWM using USB Storage or when you use a file explorer inside any ROM, you can find under /sdcard the internal memory of the phone and under /sdcard/sd_external the SD card in the phone slot (if you have one SD inserted).

Reboot on CWM with the ROM install zip in the SD card and delete /cache /data and /system, and install the ROM.
As for the other errors, I would suggest you see if the internal memory is really available or the ROM is using it for other purposes...

Same here with my SGS3 32GB with all cm9 nightlies with ROM Manager. Manual recovery and backup works without problems from recovery console.
With CWM 5.5.0 4 / CF1.5 / CWM3.6 i just getting a error that sd marker was not found but is backups everythong without problems. I use CWM5.5.0.4 as workaround for the moment instead of rom manager.
Tried the following to solve problem:
Reformated microSD 32GB (Patriot)
Flashed recovery several times (rom manager & CWM)
Bought new Samsung 32GB microSD
All above without sucess....
No idea what is the cause for that.
Any ideas?

Solved..
I re flashed root. Seemed as if I wasn't rooted properly!?...
I rooted with my Mac initially but re did it via Odin3. I used a different version of cf root. Just repeated the root process and was able to make a backup.
Still got an error stating ext sd couldn't be found but have read in forum that it's not a big deal!??
Sorry I can't shed anymore light on the issue. Good luck

Thanks for this small thread. I unrooted my phone with Odin and then rooted it again with Odin. Got the idea from here and now CWM backup works perfectly again

Leaked JB sdcard0 write problem

I installed via Odin leaked version of JB, but now I have a strange problem with the internal SD card. After a few minutes from the boot, the SD goes into read-only mode and the app no ​​longer able to write.
Official Samsung Gallery app crash with error "not enought space" , google music dont download music with the same error .
The other strange thing is that i can install new app , but if the app tries to write to internal SD i give write error .
I have installed CWM and formatted the mmc ; factory reset , wipe and reinstalled all with Odim but the problem persists .
thanks in advance for your help

Well as I don't have this issue. I also believe others don't too. I presume it's a problem specific with your phone mate.
Sounds like your phone is faulty...?

i never faced any storage problems, i only faced if you want to replace any file with root explorer it will say not enough memory.
however it has to do with the replace thing because if you try again it will work :cyclops:

Same problem here bro. Reboot only fixes it temporarily and the problem is back after a few minutes.
EDIT: Fixed! Just had to reformat USB storage. Thankfully nothing valuable on there anyway.

I think i have had something similar, have you a ext sd card fitted?
My problem is that when the apps is moved to SD it will show it moved to USB storage (in file size info) but its actually moved to ext SD. If i do the same without the card in, i will get your error message.
its so feeling like a blonde moment, I even went back to official ICS and was the same..... (not as i remembered it working).
One moment i thought it was the emmc bug where photos wont be saved but they are fine..... phew.
I'll be interested to see if this is a problem or i am having a blonde moment and cant remember how the storage works.
cheers

finally I solve the problem, the internal SD memory (EMMC) at one point was mounted in read-only mode because vfat was corrupt, so when an application tried to write to that partition the internal SD was remounted in read-only. It is therefore not a problem with the ROM JB Samsung but from years of installations of different ROM and especially by removing the battery to turn off the phone when it crashed.
to solve this ANNOYING problem , I have installed the kernel-Philz cwm6-XXLSJ-OXX-3.1 , and copy to external SD AROMA File Manager ; from recovery i have check the file system with fsck.exfat ( fsck.exfat -fR / dev/block/mmcblk0p11 ) ; This command will force a file system checkand will automate the recovery / removal of corrupted files .
Since I followed this procedure, the problem was no longer presented.
If you are in this situation and you have any doubt contact me I will try to help you.

everything seemed to check out fine for me.... glad to see it fixed your issue.
ran in the console of AROMA FM:
#EMMC: fsck.exfat -fR /dev/block/mmcblk0p11
Thanks so much for the tip on Aroma SD. I have tried so many things already. It was driving me crazy. It just took me a while to find the correct search phrase to bump into this topic

Well, I am in this annoying situation (with official jb, but the problem is the same) but I don't know how to run that command on Aroma's terminal, it says "sh: fsck.exfat: not found". From where do I have to run it? do I have to install filechecker before?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I couldn't do it from aroma's terminal, but did it without any problem with the app "Android Terminal Emulator"(root needed).
Thank you for the lead that finally brought me the answer.
hello and sorry for my noob questions!
I have the same problem, try this method but not work, in Aroma and terminal I receive the same response "device not found" or something like that
can you help me please?

Why on earth are you messing around trying to fix problems in leaked JB/based roms instead of doing clean install of public final/based rom?

Next time quote, so we'll know that you asked something
I suppose you managed to fix this yourself, but if not for you, maybe for a future user, here's the answer; run the command "su" (without the quotes) before running "fsck.exfat -fR /dev/block/mmcblk0p11"

[Q] Link2sd

I am a very raw noob and this is my first post, so go easy on me please!!
I have rooted my 5830i running kernel version 2.6.35.7 and on JellyBlast V 3.0.4. I have previously been running Link2sd with no problem linking the files. However, I seem to have done something that's stopped that now and now I just get a mount error every time I open the app. I have tried to follow all the guides in this forum to correctly partition the sd card and have 2 primary partitions with the second one formatted to ext2. I've tried the other ext's and fat16/32 with no success and I'm at a loss what to do next. I don't have to transfer my apps onto the sd card but it helps the speed of the phone with free space on the internal memory and I am frustrated that I can't work it (not very bright in that respect!).
Can anyone help with any pointers please?
Post your Question in the below thread.
