I got some problems with the write permissions on my sd card. From time to time my permisiions switches to R/O, although Root explorer doesnt show it. I need to switch to R/O and then back to regain write permissions. If i dont do that i cannot write or delete any file from sd card and i get the "Error deleting file" message. This recently happened afther playing Assassins Creed and the game could not save data. But the situation occured a few weeks ago when the game was not installed and did not know the R/O switch trick, so i had to format the card and do a clean flash.
I dont have long named files on the card (the kind that cannot be deleted by windows OS). All the files that innitialy could be deleted and/or moved become read only, like the sd card gets locked or something, and the only way to unlock it is the way described above.
Writing permissions on sd card are also not modified in Root explorer.
Any idea why this happens? I looked around and find others with the same problem but no solutions.
My card is a 16 Gb class 4 Kingston.
Also, it seems that the error occurs while connected to usb, and removing write potect using Root explorer doesnt work until disconnected.
Hi,
Yesterday I was backuping files from sdcard to pc. I accidentally interrupted it in the middle of the process and then I got warnings on phone about sddcard being corrupted.
Next thing I did, was to change my firmeware (ICS). (Thats why I was backuping). In new firmaware I still got info about sd card being corrupted so I tried to format it on phone with no results. I formatted it on PC to fat system.
NOW here is a problem:
When I put a sdcard which is full (transferred files from PC) - in settings - storage I can seee that it is full (gives info about how many mbs are free). However when I try to enter external_sd with ES File Explorer or normal android explorer it shows that there are NO files on sdcard. When I try to connect phone with sdcard in it to PC I can only see main phone storage not SD card.
It happens with every sdcard I put into my phone.
Anyone knows what to do?
EDIT: Now I am on Hydrogen ICS
Did you check to see if the SD card was mounted?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yes it is. In settings I can see how much space is on it left.
*Is there a format option in ICS?*
*Maybe I should try formatting from recovery? How to?*
But still other sd cards doesn't work either.
My fault - Hydrogen ICS has new path to sdcard /emmc.
*panic mode off*
LOL........
since you sort it out yoursself, and cant thank yourself I made it for you....
HELLO TO STAFF
i hv hcl me u1 tablet. and it is behaving weird. last time i try to install a iron man 3 game and wont install so i get it at my shop.
(actually it belongs to my kids).. i do all reset. and delete things but nothing is working
i go in recovery and wipe formatt .. but nothing is being deleted.. all thing is as it is.
no new thing is being copy or being deleted in it..
so i open it and try to short it out. rediculously i found one more sd card of 4gb inside tablet chip.
i remove and put it in reader . connect to pc. it shows 1.8gb total and free around 800mb.
i guess rest of part is rom part in sd card bcouse without that memory chip tablet is not booting up. i replace another 4gb and 8gb but nothing working..
and i put back that sandisk 4gb back in hcl chip and it boots up as regular ...
problem is it is not being formated or not being hard reset in recovery.. i use MPTOOL . i updated with it. but nothing working out for new game or installations
for me the only solution left is to replace that 4gb SANDISK sd card which might cotain rom part..
so how to make that vimicro disk to make tab work normaly...
i attach the photo of board with sd card installed..
i hope some HCL GUY can help me..
solved hcl me u1
problem sloved
by updating with mptool with new sd card of 8 gb. in boot mode without sd card than insert sd card
it takes lot time and two time factory reset .. but working now but ram is as low below 300 mb
any body hv problem with hcl me u1 with hanging restarting or anything is not installing and deleting
change sd card of your choise 8gb or more and install rom
any question can ask me i just solved it

Similar problem in HCL ME V1, but no solution so far
Hi,
I have an HCL Me V1 tab. My problem is something similar to yours. I was copying an apk (FL Studio Mobile) and a folder related to it (extra downloadable contents) from my laptop to the tablet (from laptop to /sdcard/Android/obb). Basically I had downloaded the apk and dlc from Pirate Bay. I'm sure there was no problem with these files as I had not even run these files in the tablet when the problem started.
First my laptop got hanged, but somehow I disconnected the tablet safely. However after I rebooted the tablet, it got stuck in a loop in the boot screen. I tried resetting it but it did not work. Also for some reason I am not able to do a hard reset on that tablet. The device simply refuses. When I remove the external SD card, the device won't even start when I press the reset pin hole.
There is one peculiarity to my problem however. The power button has stopped working. I can only start the tablet by the reset pin hole. I am sure this is not a hardware issue as I am 100% positive the tablet did not experience any physical shock.
It is a rooted device with rooted apps. Android ICS 4.0.4, kernel 3.x.x.
I plan on doing exactly what you did, i.e. open up the device, get a new sd card, load the ROM on it and put it back in. However, can you suggest any other alternatives before I do that?
Thanks,
Pari
Thanks!
I once encountered the same problem exactly as you described, but the device was in warranty and the service center fixed it.
Now i know what was the issue.
Thanks for your efforts because the i believe that it will help everyone who owns it as it will encounter problems with the device as HCL fooled us everyone with this model.
hcl me u1 is acting like crazy.
Hello ,I'm Kaushik Chauhan.
i have hcl me u1 tablet.
it is behaving crazy.
I can't save data on it.
whenever I restart it ,it is reset.
I tried to do factory reset, but nothing is changed.
I have also opened it and take out that internal sandisk of 4 gb.
inserted it mmc reader and connect it to ubuntu.
however I am not able to mount it.
but I managed to view partitions on it.
to my surprize,
there are six(believe me) partitions.(thanks to DISK UTILITY)
1. maximum size 2.5 gb. which I see in.xplore.
2. system 700 mb
3. data 400 mb
4.tmp 40 mb
5. and 6 are unallocated (I think).
(I will upload screenshot of it.soon)
but I am not able to mount any of it.
that 2.5 gb is fat32 but when I tried to mount it I got some superblock type error.
what is the problem.
and why xplore (file manager) shows two sd cards each of size 2.5 gb.(and identical to one another in context of files and folder.)
however its spec says 4 gb.(I have not attached any external sd or pendrive)
so here is my sd card partitions::
1:: 2.6 GB FAT :: that is what i see in file manager:: I can mount it.
2:: 1.3 GB Extended :: What is it? . there is no option to Mount it in Disk Utility.(Only one option 'Delete Partition').
3:: 403 MB ext2 :: I cant mount it.
(Error :: "Error mounting: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so" )
4:: 786 MB ext2 Userdata :: same as system ("Error is also same")
5:: 67 MB ext2 cache :: same as system ("Error is also same")
6:: 34 MB unknown :: only three option (Format Voulme,Edit Partition,Delete Partition)
7:: 34 MB unknown :: same as above

Thank you i finally reset my internal sd card..but as you said my tablet is very slow and always hang then turn off..is there any way solve this problem?
@cyberking147.and mixxskratch, pborah88
my tab is again corrupted and not being reset or copy data or delete data from it... may b the reason i found out is tab stays non used or on low charge bettery
or the poor quality of sd card which i replaced..
i am willing to replace with the original sandisk or the samsung class 8 or something best quality with some warranty....
slow tab >>>it may b due to sd card becoz this fools install rom on sd card. can you believe it?? i was shocked
i will post results when i replace another sd card of samsung class 8 of 8gb..
one more thing you can also extend your internal memory of tab by replacing the provided 4 gb.. 8gb will give you 5 gb of free internal storage..
this may help those whose mmc slot and usb are not working

skhan

did you check the ram..
do you know the ram before?
there are options in selecting ram ,
if you hv flashed rom with 512 ram selection it will b slower .
there are two models they(hcl) hv launched. 1 512mb ram and 2, 1 gb ram...
1gb ram was lilttle more speedy than of 512.
go to settings and apps and check ram in RUNNING...
NOT MUCH WE CAN DO WITH IT. COZ ITS REALLY OLDIE
TRY TO FLASH WITH 1GB SELECTION , IF YOU GOT BOOT LOOP. HANG ON HCL LOGO THAT MEANS YOU DNT HV 1GB RAM MODEL. YOU HV TO FLASH IT AGAIN WITH 512 SELECTION
EVEN ONE OF MY FRIEND HV ONE GB CONFIGURATION WRITTEN ON BOX AND 512 IN DEVICE..

Hcl ME u1 hardware looks similar to BSNL penta is703c. I just installed the official stock rom of HCL u1 to my penta tab. IT does seem to work..
oh yeah, i changed SD card to 32 Gig...
using mp tool, try using different DDR settings.. (Check attachments)

go to settings > application manager> slide to see running app. at the bottom u can find the ram and the free ram and used ram
the tab only can support 1g ram if it is build with that . some tab come with 512 and some with 1g.b
so try various selection in mp tool > go to ddr setting. select elpida or micron wich supports u that u will have to find out. and be patient after flashing dont do any fulish. if it does not work it wil go in boot loop . just hcl and nothing. than try other selection like elpida or micron.
to go in boot loader mode u need to remove mmc and data cable and than
insert data cable nd press power on button u find the disk iand vdfu driver will install and than put 4 gb or 8gb mermoy card and flash it

HCL ME tablet U1
Sir,
My hcl tablet is behaving awkwardly. firstly, after every 4 to 5 weeks it starts hanging up and i have to send to centre to fix it. secondly, Everything gets stopped be it settings, gallery, file manager or anything and i have to factory reset it and loose every game i installed. But curiously this time i dont know what happened and i cant even factory reset it! it just reboots and nothing else. Even when i uninstall an app, it reboots again and what i see is that the app hasn't been uninstalled and it appears again! the only thing that works at its best is the calculator.
Suggest me what to do.
Hoping a reply as soon as possible
Thank you

HCL me u1 WILL NOT RESET anymore..
Hey Everybuddy, ( Frusteted with HCL ME U1)
This is KAUSHIK CHAUHAN
I have solved the problem of it being reset evertime we restart it.
things you need ::
1 :: A new MicroSD card ( I prefer (actually used ) Sandisk Mobile Ultra 8gb Class 10).
I brought it from Flipcart for just Rs.340 .
2 :: Stock ROM for our tab , Dont download any other rom they have some performance issue
Here is Link :: xww.hclsupportservice.in/Drivers%5CFamily%5CTablet%5CCategory%5CHCL_ME_Tablet%5CU1%5CImage%5CU1_0421_Image.rar
3 :: A PC running windows.
After Having these 3 thing ....
Steps ::
1 :: take rear cover of tab , take that metal cover over circuit.
see that sandisk microsd 4 gb ?
that's the problem ! take it out.
and put new sd card there.
now fit rear cover again as it was .
DONT TRY TO TURN ON THE TAB
on to the computer ::
connect tab with pc via USB cable. (in Switched OFF state.)
U should see a new drive in my computer (dont open and close that popup window)
2 :: Extract file U1_0421_Image.rar
:: open mptool.exe ( I prefer run as Admin.)
:: U should see the message "1 device reddy".
if not Dont Worry .
3 :: then go to the setting on mptool.
select the "vortex.pak" for PAK File.
now the tricky part : Carefully
look at your tab specs ,
If it says RAM = 1 GB
then In partition setting set System(MB)=1024
and DDRtype = elpida 8bit 1024
If it says RAM = 512 MB
then In partition setting set
System(MB)=512
and DDRtype = elpida 8bit 512M
DONT TOUCH ANYTHING ELSE !
4 :: OK done ? then Save it .
5 :: now click on scan if it doesn't say "1 Device Reddy".
6 :: click on Update.
7 :: wait and let it complete.
8 :: now tab must be restart automatically. It will take some time for first boot so dont panic.
I hope u now have a working tab.
open apps and u will see "Market"
thats it !
Nowadays HCL is providing market app with new tab (I have not when i purchased it).
now it has market not play store
and it will not update itself.
so,
Find any android device with Google Play Store inbuilt.
open xplore on it (if it doesnt there just download it (nearly 2 mb))
in config set root = normal works on all device.
now go to /system/app
copy "vending.apk" file to sdcard and send it to OUR HCL ME U1 tab and install it .
after a network connection it will update itself.
and u can enjoy working latest play store.
thanks for reading..
Thanks a lot for your help

hcl me u1
how to install new rom in 8gb sdcard in hcl me u1
dont know if this is the right place to post my question but since im a noob the forum doesn't let me post anywhere else and this is the first time ive posted here because i usually find what im after in this forum so thanks for that !
ive read alot about the Read Write issues being experienced with Google's Android unwilling to let you use your external SD card for storage of Apps and writing to it , ive followed some tutorials about the net and even tried jamisons pre-rooted Rom for SM-T120 and everytime i get nowhere with it all .. my tab3 is now rooted but i cant write to the card .. is this going to be possible or does anyone know something i haven't tried ...
so i will tell you what ive tried for now
editing permissions.xml
loading the pre-rooted firmware
changing permissions to vold.fstab file
is there something out there !
thanks for any suggestions and help .. much appreciated Paul :good:
im running 4.1.2 Android Version and its Rooted - Build JZ054K.T210XXAMG2
I think that is not enough. I did the same ... in my research I came across the void.fstab in some devices is possible in the galaxy 3 do not know what the correct code.
I found universal files vold.fstab, but without success

I may have just found a solution , the root method is fine by jamison ... then once that has been flashed and the tablet has restarted , go into oden again and flash the CWM recovery the same way as you do for the pre rooted firmware .. then follow these instructions i found posted by stefan !
Ok, I fixed the issue:
- Mounted USB storage (external SD) in CWM
- Backed up all files from my external SD (except a strange folder named µATA, which could not be read at all)
- Formatted the external SD under Windows
- Copied back my files to the external SD
- Restarted Android
Now the external SD is mounted r/w. Also in Root Explorer I can see that the external SD is r/w and not r/o as before.
hope this works for you as i think its working for me as ive just been able to delete a folder from widows via the USB cable .. where i didnt have access before

The device recognizes the sd as storage for apps?
I always had access to my sd on windows with USB cable, except in recovery, i use the TWRP, in recovery i can't mount SD with USB cable, but i think is an issue of TWRP or CWM.
My problem is to enable the move app to sd or recognize it has internal memory. I know that in SGS3 is possible to recognize sd card as internal memory changing the script in vold.fstb, in tab 3 it should not be so different.
PS: is a shame... i can't post links yet :angel:.

yes i could see the SD external card in windows but i could not write to it in windows or delete any folders or files in windows .. but with the method used posted above i can write to the Ex sdcard and delete with no write access problems at all ... i updated to the latest firmware tonight to see if it was still working but it didnt and became like it was before ... so i tried to just flash the recovery file back on it again only and now i have access to the SDcard again and its again rooted ! ... no changes to any file
how did you root yOur device? can u give me a link please... am using tab 3 Sm T210 and ver 4.1.2
Hi there its my 1st time here bcos i cant seem find a solution for this problem on the net (or maybe i dont understand some of them)
i have a samsung galaxy mini 2 running cyanogenmod 11
i also have clockword mod v6.0.4.7
i have this wierd problem
when i try to download something from the browser it says "u need an sd car to download(or something like that)"
i checked my internal sd card directory using es file explorer and it says "internal sd not mounted"
so i booted up in recovery and try to mount it but it gave me an error "error mounting sdcard0"
whats wierd is..
when i download apps from the playstore , everything went smooth as butter even games (no error whatsoever)
tq in advance!
also i have this adb thing which i dont know how to use at all (if that helps)
