When i woke up this morning i had to hold powerbutton for, is it 10 seconds, to restart the phone. When it booted up again i got a message that said somethings wrong with the sdcard, and it asked if i wanted to format. Hell no! I got things there i really want to keep (yea stupid of me not to have it backed up!).
I went in to recovery and if i enter the "install zip from internal sdcard" i can see the card and all it's files.
If this would have happened to my external sdcard i'd just put it in my laptop doing a scandisc and all would be cool.
Now it isn't. So how do i solve this?

Have you tried to mount the internal SD to the PC over USB from from recovery mode, using the "mounts and storage" menu?
Considering you have CWM recovery running, if not flash a kernel with CWM and try it then.

Hi and thanks for answer!
Yes i have CWM, just forgot to mention it.
I just tried to mount usb storage from cwm and both cards shows up, but only external can get accessed. Nothing(!) happends when i pick the scandisc option and clicks start. Just doesnt start.
Edit: still can SEE the files in cwm, just need to know how to copy them to a safe place so i can format the sd. :/

Hm, in that case you could copy them via an adb shell over to the external card.
adb is a command line tool that's part of the Android SDK.
Invoke a shell via
Code:
adb shell
when the phone is in CWM recovery and connected via USB.
Make sure internal and external SD are mounted (mounts and storage menu) and use the "cp" (=copy) command to copy the important files over, like
Code:
cp /sdcard/afile.dat /path/to/external/sd
(sorry don't remember where CWM mounts the external SD at the moment, IIRC it's something like /mnt/emmc, but I'm not sure right now)
The cp command can also use wildcards like "*" for all files in the given directory.
Hope that gets you closer to saving your data.
I know this may sound cliche.. Have you tried turning off your phone ans remove the sd card and re insert it back in... And boot back up?

Thanks! Will try that in a few hours when i get home. Is there any chance i could do a "cp /mnt/sdcard/" to copy the whole sd at once? But perhaps something could go wrong since the ext sd is mounted in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
Bah i dont know.... Any command genious here who can help me further?

Yeah, with the external mounted in a path inside the internal - that will somehow get you some troubles.
Let's consider for a moment it's at /mnt/emmc, then you could do:
Code:
cp -r /mnt/sdcard/* /mnt/emmc/maybesomesubdirifyouwant/
If the external SD is mounted somewhere you can't use it (like inside the internal - but IIRC CWM doesn't do that) you can just unmount it with something like this:
Code:
umount /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
then mount it somewhere else with
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/ext_sd
.
If you want/need to create a subfolder in /mnt (or wherever) you have to remount / as read-write first:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /mnt/ext_sd

Do you mean external storage with NTFS? On my tablet I use an app for that.
I can release a kernel module for mounting NTFS partition on RAZR... I'll watch at it when I'll be back home (3hrs).

Wouldn't we need to modify vold to be able to mount NTFS?
(ofc. you could mount it manually but...)

Obviously. This was intended for manual mount.

When you extract it, you should get "ntfs.ko".
I fill quite stupid. inmod command works for me, but I don't know how to mount external drive. I try something like mount -t ntfs /dev/block/sda /mnt/usbdisk_1.1 , it finished without exception, but usbdisk_1.1 was empty.
Any suggestions for noob?

I found that for Samsung galaxy s2 that copy ntfs-3g to system/bin. I suppose that we cannot do that while we have locked bootloader.
We have on our Razr /bin/ntfs-3g. It is possible to use this to have possibility to write to ntfs partition? If I try to run it, I get errors with missing fuse. If we have fuse for our kernel we could maybe use ntfs-3g.
Can anyone help?

When I try

It returns
Mount is denied because setuid and setgid root ntfs-3g is insecure with the
external FUSE library. Either remove the setuid/setgid bit from the binary
or rebuild NTFS-3G with integrated FUSE support and make it setuid root.
Please see more information at http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged
From what I read, ntfs-3g don't need to be compiled to specific kernel version so we can use from sgs2 or maybe build one. But fuse is kernel specific.
Any idea?

I recovered from a almost-brick but now I am left with an internal sdcard with no data on it.
When I try to push a zip using adb, it appears to be successful from the cmd line dialogue, but when I try to use the "install from sd card" option on CWM v5.8.1.8 it does not show any files.
Am I missing something silly?
I used "adb push rom.zip /sdcard" and got the next bit:
1333 KB/s (367597564 bytes in 269.270s)
Any comments would be appreciated.
You should have another "/" at end? /sdcard/
Sent from my EPAD using Tapatalk 2
And if that doesn't work, choose install zip and it will look like nothing was installed and then re-push the rom. And it should be there. Also did you manually restart recovery after wiping?
There is a helpful thread in the Dev section for Prime_Full_Wipe.
Sent from my EPAD using Tapatalk 2
Well, I didn't need to do any additional wiping or anything, but there was a direction in the PRIME-Full-Wipe post about pushing to /data/media instead of sdcard and it worked. So thanks!

that
when you just type /sdcard
you're moving the file to "/" which is the root of the tablet, and renaming the file to sdcard
if you type /sdcard/
you're moving the file to the sdcard and not renaming the file
=]
It was weird - I had tried pushing to both /sdcard and /sdcard/ and neither way worked. It would show that it worked on the cmd dialogue, but it couldn't find it in CWM.
After pushing it to /data/media, it worked with no problem.

if sdcard doesnt work
you can always try /mnt/sdcard/
I jumped from stock to CM10 and have found an issue I need resolved, but am not sure how to go about it.
On stock, I didn't have
/sdcard/ is the path for the internal memory
/sdcard/external_sd/ is the path for the actual add-in slot you buy yourself.
This is great because the file explorer apps don't need special access to get to, and things are at least somewhat logical on how they're laid out.
On CM10:
/storage/sdcard0/ is internal memory
/storage/sdcard1/ is external memory
There are symbolic links of /sdcard and /external_sd but to access the latter, I need to tell apps like ES file explorer to change their base path rather than just having a nested mount structure.
I've tried using terminal emulator to go in and create a symbolic link, but I get 'operation not permitted' messages. I've also tried editing /etc/vold.fstab to have it change the mount from /storage/sdcard1 to /storage/sdcard0/external_sd, but the filesystem is read-only and 'mount -o remount,rw /' doesn't have an effect even though it doesn't complain.
How can I change the mount structure back to how I want it and how it's easier to access/navigate it in my apps?
Run into some situation, hopefully someone can shed some light

Try busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
If that fails, use an app to do it.

I was able to modify the mount point to be /storage/sdcard0/external_sd/ for the external SD slot, but when I rebooted CM it got stuck and would buzz every 10 seconds or so and stayed that way indefinitely. Not sure why this breaks CM so bad but there you have it. Oh well.
Might be a better idea to just add links so you get your old /sdcard/external_sd
I'm not currently on a CM10 ROM or else I'd test.

Symbolic links don't work on a FAT based filesystem (which the SD card mounts are), unfortunately.
Hi, this is a tutorial that explain how to change the internal sd with the external.
It is an idea of danitab78, i decided to create this to shy away from talking in other threads.
I think it solves the main problem of our device that has only 2,3 gb as internal sd.
It works on this script:
ICS:
mount -o remount,rw /
mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
mount -o bind /data/media /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
chmod 777 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
The only thing to do is create a "external_sd" folder in external_sd
At first, you must have a file managar that works on rooted phones like "Root Explorer" and also "Script Manager - SManager" so you can bring the attached file into your phone, i suggest you to paste it in system/etc. Now rename your .txt in .sh.
Open Script Manager with root permissions and find the .sh, tap on it, and if is asked how to open it, choos script/executable. In the next windows tap on "su", "boot","save" and finally "run".
If it doesnt give you any error it has worked!
Congratulations

JELLYBEAN:
I copied kumas post, so thanks to him here and here
ROOT IS REQUIRED and Jelly Bean
I made/copied (lol) this script by combining Artas182x and Mateo1111 scripts
this is how you would save it as script (.sh file)
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
SU
busybox mount -o remount,rw /
busybox mount -t vfat -o umask=0000 /dev/block/vold/179:61 /mnt/sdcard
if busybox mount | busybox grep vold/179:61; then
busybox mount -o bind /data/media /storage/external_SD
busybox rm /storage/external_SD/external_sd
busybox chmod -R 777 /storage/external_SD
fi
Or just download the attachment and unzip to your sdcard and run with smanger or similar app (and set to boot at startup if you want)
Note:
1.When using the camera and video recorder, change settings storage to internal memory (if you don't, you will have to reboot the phone to see your pic/vid you just took)
2.This script will allow you to install large size games (ex. Asphalt 7) but you will still need link2sd (to move apps to your external_SD)
Now if you use the link2sd app, select the "create symbolic link"
lol one more thing, you will need to partition your sdcard to use link2sd.
3.If y'all have busybox installed properly this script should work fine. In addition, this script is all set for init.d (but i have problems using this method). You will get an error for SU, because it's set for init.d. However, the script still works fine through a terminal.
Warning, using Android Tuner app can mess up your L9 and I'm not responsible if you do!
Or if you don't want to use link2sd and partition your Sdcard, you can use Android Tuner However, this app is really advance and you should make a CWM backup (thanks to Artas182x) before messing with this app. It has a lot of options and you could mess the phone up.
I did it for a better english, i hope

I did it and i installed NFS Most Wanted and Asphalt 7, so definetly yes
it works, my internal now states 16gb
but i still don`t understand " The only thing to do is create a "external_sd" folder in external_sd"
does it means i have make folder external_sd after all the process?
in process so should be like this
1. install script manager
2. load script
3. check internal sd now should be as big as our mmc
4. create a "external_sd" folder in external_sd
does it right?
Normally, in /mnt/sdcard there is a folder named "external_sd" that is your microsd card, you have to create a folder named "external_sd" in it.
It doesnt matter if you create it before or after the script, i did it after and it worked but i think it would have worked in any case
Perfect it worked!!!

it really is move data of the application..
but if you take a look on "/data/app/" the installed apps is still there and the "/sdcard/app" is empty
it seems move everything including data of application (OBB files), and default location of application like whatsapp media now is in the "/sdcard/whatsapp"
is that normal or there would be any possible way to move "/data/app" to such as "/sdcard/app" ??

name it as u wish, example "int2sd" and make it run on boot
