Hi guys, I've run into a problem. I'm on Resurrection Remix 3.0.2 (jelly bean) and before flashing the latest version of the rom I tried to do a nandroid back up. I had done this numerous times with no problems. Anyway, I tried to back up to external sd card. The back up crashed since there wasn't enough free space and the phone rebooted itself. Since that happened, I lost access to my sd card. I can't view my pic gallery and lost some apps. ES file explorer says there's no card,even though there is. I tried flashing the most recent rom version and tried rebooting of course. Nothing worked. Solutions?

Did you try to remove your sd card and then put it again back ?

Yep, I tried that too.
i have faced the same problem , the whole problem is that in AOKP the external SD is mounted to emmc instead of external_sd ,( i know that's a pain in the neck ) but there is 2 ways to overcome this :
1)search for an app on xda called remountSD
2)or just use directory bind here is the guide:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1536568

Thanks, but I can't download the remountsd apk because there's no sd card. Ironic, but it stinks.

can't u just connect ur pc and copy this apk to your internal sd card using mass storage mode
or even go to the link from your mobile with a browser like chrome and download it directly to your internal sd download folder (/sdcard/download)
by the way external sd is found in (/emmc)to get there u need an app like root explorer
Hi

Have this error on ICS, but never on GB.
Tried unmount/mount
Searched for the temp file (none found.)

Any ideas?

I tried unmounting the SD card and found that to work on apps that I had problems with installing.
I also had to change my settings in Titanium Backup so that it installed to the internal SD card as it was having problems restoring some of my backed up apps.
Edit. I'm on the AndyX rom v 5.1, ICS 4.0.3, XXLBP. Now when installing apps I try all the ones I want with the SD card mounted first, if any don't install I try again with the SD card unmounted through the storage option in the settings. Its annoying, but hopefully it keeps working until there is a fix.
cannot move apps to ext sd card
GS2 I9100kernel version 3.0.15-i9100xxlpb
Not possible to move from int sd to ext where previous
versions allowed it. Seems like a bug. Tried to use SDK
tools changed default install location to external. still does
not solve problem.

+1 i cant move app to ext sd too....dunno why....i cant install more apps coz i have only 2xxMB left while my ext SD have more than 10GB space=.=
+1 Also have the same problem, Before I just went straight from GB to ICS without using ODIN and that worked fine, after that I used ODIN to flash the Stock S2 ICS I have this problem.
I had the same problem with moving apps to SD and unable to download market apps.The solution is to flash the LP6 kernel.The problem is that the LPB kernel has various bugs and in some occasions disables the USB and mass storage modes so the only way to solve this problem is to flash the LP6 kernel and all these problems will go away.Unfortunatelly LP6 comes with other bugs like the radio doesnt work for example but I think USB and mass storage are more important.This method has been more than tested and confirmed on the Omega thread.Give it a go.

Thank you for this, it worked for me but it's a bit annoying ... must be a bug in the kernel as I found out that if we use the LP6 kernel, this issue will be fixed.
Thing is that on LP6 kernel the FM Radio will not work. I'm not a Radio lover but sometimes we need it.
Hope the fix will come in the next kernel

Are you on LP6 firmware?
This is how I rooted ics:
1 Flashed latest ics XXLPH via Odin.
2 Rooted with cf-root.
3 Installed mobile odin.
4 Copy the Code part of XXLPH to phone sd.
5 Open mobile Odin and select kernel, navigate to Code file.
6 Select Flash Firmware.
Might be an easier way but that's what I did.

I agree. This solves the problems. It is a lengthy one, but it does the trick, somehow...
Have you tried unmounting the SD card and then installing. You would then remount the SD card.

Got same error on XXLPQ
Same problem
Hello I have the original ROM from Samsung and I have the same problem. My phone is not rooted.
Any help??!
For one reason or another, on the CM7 that has been released (this may change when the fix for the SDCard formatting comes out), some apps from the market display:
Error
Couldn't Install on USB storage or SD Card.
Apps Effected
Aldiko
Line Runner
Wordpress
Workaround
Go to Settings->Storage->Unmount SD Card
Once the SD Card Unmounted message is shown in you notifications, install the app
remount SD Card and Enjoy
Simple fix but I hope it helps
Also if you know of another app giving this error, please reply and I'll add it to the list so this workaround pops up in search results.
Unfortunatelly, doesn't work for apps like Evernote, which want to use sdcard partition and refuse to work without it.

I finally got around to installing the CM7 Alpha yesterday. There were several apps from the Amazon Appstore that would not install without the SD card being mounted (but then would not install because they were too large).
I took my Titanium Backup and opened the .tar.gz files in Ubuntu (there are two ... the one with the longer name) and was able to get the apks. Then I moved them to internal storage, unmounted the SD card, installed, remounted the SD card, and restored data from TiBu.

Not a matter of them being too large but their apks were set up to prefer sdcard installation.

An easier way is to set your TiBu preferences to install only to internal.

I'm pretty sure I tried that in the original build and it didnd't work
It's all fixed in the current build anyway though so no need to worry to much about it

Thanks so much for this thread! Aldiko was really the only major usage app I was missing in CM7. Works great now!
Another app this also fixes...Minecraft PE! SWEET!
The new-to-Android "Readability" app also is victim to this bug. The workaround is effective.
I flashed CF-Root 5.4 and the problem solved.
THANKS
great help. worked for me .
I desperately tried to install "lane splitter" on my sgs2 , ics, and failed.
un mounting sd card did it .

No, I think its about my sd card not working.
Can you access files that are already on the SD card?
You can try to reformat the SD card and see if that helps. If not try another SD card and see if that works.
Do you think that it is a problem with your software or the hardware?
What kind of SD card do you have?

How to fix "Couldn't Install on USB Storage or SD Card" Error
Hey Dude,
I too had this problem on my Galaxy Ace GT S5830. But I've fixed it now. There are 3 ways in which you could fix this (literally). (Before reading all this, check whether you have enough Internal memory i.e above 25 MB)
1) This method is a kind of a temporary solution. Unmount your SD Card in Storage Settings. Then Install your app. After installing it remount, remount you SD Card.
2) Format your SD Card. After that you won't be having any problem unless you install something that's not good for your phone. But then too, you may get this problem again. So, this method also is a kind of a temporary fix.
3) Now this is a permanent fix. Upgrade your phone with a Custom Rom. If you're having 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 android version currently, then this is just the solution. If its 2.2.1, then do it for sure. But if its 2.3.6 just try to follow the above steps. If its still not working, then upgrade it.
Best Roms : CM7, Jelly Blast, CM 9, PAC MAN.....
You'll get tutorials on how to install Cusom Roms on Youtube.
Prevention from these problems in Future
1) Don't ever install Black Markets like Aptoid, Black Market Alpha, Panda app.........etc
2) Try to stay away from Viruses.
Hope this helped you. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open the music file.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

First of all, backup apps using Titanium backup. Secondly, Backup any data on your SD card to a computer. Format your SD card, restore data and see if that works.

You can still use apps in internal right?
You might have to replace your SD card.
But first Flash stock firmware.
Did this happen all of a sudden? Or did something happen.

And how do you mean replace my SD card? Use a new one or unmount>format>mount from stock rom?

You could try the app SDFix by NextApp in the Play Store. It's free.

KitKat has issues with access to microSD depending on what you are doing.
You will need to enable full access to SD.
Look in the root thread ot use Xposed with Tweakbox.

boat browser is not a privileged app. It will not write everywhere on the sdcard with default kitkat privileges. you can change them manually or since you are rooted use an app like sdfix or an xposed module to do the change for you.

I have the same problem with the internal card. i can't download anything off of playstore anymore because it says insufficient memory. I am going to have to flash the stock b06 thing and start over. blows. Oh and there is like 12 gig available on the internal card and I dont see any other way around it. Maybe after refreshing I will be able to implement the newest root method and that will clear it up. Also I DON'T have a problem saving random objects to the samsung evo 64gb (omg you have to get one) because I did the kitkat fix and it worked fine.
