Today my Tablet (Hyundai A7HD) with CM9 started behaving very strange.
It doesnt recognize my sd card, nor its own internal nand storage anymore.
I dont know what to do, since i cant even flash an update through CWM anymore without a functioning storage medium.
the sd card works fine on my pc and i cant format the internal storage through my tablet.
what else can i do to fix this?
I could really use some help, if someone knows a way to do it.

Supply more information. How do you know it's not detecting the internal storage? What are the symptoms? In my point of view, the device would be bricked in this case. Can it boot at all? Or is it fastboot complaining , trying to flash it? The internal memory, is it a MTD for /system plus an MMC for /data, or only an MTD? Only one MMC? Does the devices still exists or not? The partitions..?
Give us some more information, and we'll see if someone here can come with an intelligent suggestion.
Thank you for your reply!
The Device is an Hyundai A7HD and it says that what it calls "sdcard" but actually is its internal storage is damaged. Formatting doesnt work.
It still boots fine but cant access the internal storage, so nothing can be downloaded onto the device and such.
It has a special partition where applications are installed, but nothing can be saved there.
im guessing that something is wrong with the OS, and maybe i could fix it using ADB (if someone could explain to me how)?
Ok, so no /sdcard and /sdcard is supposed to be the phones internal memory, no /data partition, hence not able to download new apps, but the phone boots and so, i.e. system partitions works fine.
This sounds quite like this (confusing) thread to me. In summary, we are talking about three devices, the internal MTD device with /system, boot image, cache etc, the internal MMC device with /sdcard and /data plus an external sdcard named something like /sdcard/external_sd. The internal MMC broken beyond repair (hardware failure).
Still it may be something else only reassembling this.
If you believe your problem is due to some problem with your ROM I suggest you try to reinstall stock ROM using the vendors standard flash tools.
If this doesn't work, we can see if a solution similar to the one in the thread above may be applicable to you.
When i use Astro file manager to look at my phones storage the internal memory calls itself "sdcard" and my ACTUAL micro-sdhc calls itself "extsd" in a folder called "mnt".
the original flash tool doesnt seem to function anymore since i would normally hold down the "menu"-button, then plug the cable into my pc and while STILL holding menu id press power 7 to 10 times and then flashing would start automatically. but ever since installing cwm and a cm9 custom-rom, this doesnt seem to function anymore.
EDIT: in Clockwordmod recovery its called "emmc" for internal memory and "sdcard" for my actual sdcard.
Ok, this is consistent. Can you do a couple of shell commands?
# mount
and
# ls -l /dev/block
... and paste in the result here. As root or as shell user (or any other user) doesn't really matter.
when i plug the device into usb it says debugging enabled. so i open adb and type in "adb devices" and it starts listing devices. But no device is recognized.
EDIT: it recognizes my phone tho.

Tricky. And not possible to install apps, so no ConnectBot or similar ...
Do you have a link to the CM9 you are using?

So, what does "mount" say?
when i type "adb mount" it just gives me a long list of commands and explanations.
EDIT: there are many versions of connectbot. which one do we need?

No, run mount from the command line using ConnectBot. ADB didn't work, you told me before.

Select "local", give the session some name of you choice and connect. Now you are running a local shell in the same way as using "adb shell". You are familiar with "adb shell"..?

isnt adb shell a terminal that accepts commands either locally or by usb connection?
EDIT: What should i do now on connectbot?
Can anyone help me, perhaps?

Before yesterday when powering up my nook tablet I would get the "Installing factory Software...Do not Turn off your device" but immediately after I would get the error message "Please contact nook support." Now my nt just turns off after powering on and displaying the n screen. I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with my tablet or what steps to follow in order to fix it. I would greatly appreciate any input from the knowledgeable members here to point me in the right direction in terms of what procedures need to be followed. Thanks

Okay! Step one, you need to make a bootable CWM card.
Get yourself a microSD card, format it, and copy the files from HERE (download, unzip to your SD card).
Power your NT completely down, plug in the card, and then plug in the USB cable.
You should boot to a "cardboard" box screen.
After that, its going to boot into CWM recovery. Now you're not going to have alot of tools on the card at this point, but you may see some errors about stuff not being able to be mounted, etc.
Once you've got that done, post back here, and also include any errors you see!
From there, we can try to figure out exactly what's gone wrong, and the best approach to fix it.
--Also! Include the information about your NT, Is it rooted? What firmware or Rom? Other than powering up, what had you done (If anything) previously before the error!
^ Thanks for your quick reply!
As I wrote in my first post I'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting or hacking any devices. I have not once tried rooting my NT. What I did do though in order to have android as an option on my tablet is buy one of those Nook2Android cards. Now I think I may have accidentally pressed Format SD card or something like that when trying to do something else. That's all that I can think of that I may have done to cause the error.
I'm going to try and make the bootable CWM card right now. I'll make sure to report back!
lag0matic,
I now have a bootable CWM card.
So when I boot into CWM I get this error:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
What needs to be done now? Thanks

Erf. Okay, you've managed to bork your partitions.
Lets hope this goes easily!
First, lets get Parted (and some other tools) on your CWM recovery card.
Download this file here then unzip them to the root of your CWM Sd card.
Then you need to get ADB up and installed.
I used This forum to get the drivers, however, I couldnt get ADB to work right off the bat.
I'll copy/paste the steps I used and helped others get ADB runnng.
First, google this application: Usbdeview
Download the appropriate one for your system.
Unplug all USB mass storage devices (USB HDD's, Card readers, Memory sticks, etc)
Run USBDeview, delete anything Google, Android, Nook, Barnes and Noble, and Mass storage.
Reboot.
Open device manager
Run the "Runmefirst" or whatever its called from the ADB directory
Plug in your NT.
Go to device manager - look for a broken driver on the tablet, and tell it to install the drivers (you may have to use "have disk" and point to the usb driver directory)
This should install the driver for your NT.
You may also need to edit a file in the .android directory, at the root of your windows username folder.
in which case, drop to a command prompt and type
echo 0x2080 > %username%\.android\adb_usb.ini
after that, switch to the directory you unziped the ADB files to (I used C:\ntroot) and try to connect to your NT by typing "adb devices"
you _should_ see something like
1234567890 Recovery
Or
000000000 Recovery
Now, once you see one of the above messages
in the same command promt window enter the follwing commands
adb shell
mount /sdcard/
cd /sdcard/
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
you'll then get a prompt that looks like
(parted)
type "print"
and hopefully you'll see a few errors, and it will ask you to fix them, choose fix for both.
Once you get this far (Or, if you run into troubles) post again and i'll see what I can do for you!
(I have successfully un-bricked my NT, but I did it in a way I want to avoid fo you, as we want yours to run stock roms)

So I'm currently going through the process of installing the drivers but I keep getting OMAP4430 under Other devices while Device Manager keeps refreshing.

^ wow.... that is exactly what i got after the second time my unit barfed.
can you right click on the "omap4430" entry in the device manager and update the drivers by pointing to the folder that has the "nook drivers" folder in the adb + driver + fast zip file?
I imagine you will get a error telling you the drivers are not for this device.
Question to you, did you happen to try formatting the "internal sdcard" ?
@ Lag0matic. this is what killed my unit *dead* today. but it only occured *after* using the 2.3.7 memory managers (not rom-manager) to format the SDcard and the internal SDcard...

The good news is I have now installed the drivers! My NT under Android Phone appears as Android Composite ADB Interface in Device Manager.
Sadly,though, after getting this far it seems adb still does not recognize my device?
After imputing "adb devices" in cmd in the directory containing the adb files what I get is:
List of devices attached
I don't know if I have missed a step or did one incorrectly.

couple different things to try
#1
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
try this a couple times. my nook did not get hooked until i did this 2,3 times
#2 with the unit booted from cwm recovery *on the sd card*, reboot windows while leaving the device plugged in.
once back in windows try the adb devices command again.
failing that you are where i was. but at least you can get into cwm, mine ceased booting from sd entirely. heres a thought and a test. can you make the bootable-apla SD card and still use the nook via sd card only? or does it freeze up... ?

i have had that happen a few times and the problem was that my drivers were not installing correctly. sure it appeared as android adb composite device, but it most likely installed the wrong driver for the wrong device.
this is where things get a bit complicated because you need to look for the product and vendor id's for the nook tablet and modify them correspondingly in the android_winusb.inf.
also make sure you execute the runmefirst.bat
that creates a .android folder in your user folder. that was the step i kept missing when i had your problem with the drivers... ironic right? "runmefirst" and i run it last haha...
Hey guys,
is it possible to access the internal storage via adb, without having a display?
My Galaxy SII Display is broken, but the rest should work.
usually i have to lock in with the security points that have to be connected (i dont know how that is called in english),
to allow access via usb.
now that the display does not work, i can not go that way.
so is it possible to access the internal storage via adb?
or do you have another way for me to get my data back?
i am not going to buy a new galaxy s2 and replacing the motherboard,
because its not worth it.
i have cm10.1 installed with dorimanx kernel, and root is allowed for adb and apps.
i never used adb, so i dont know how to start my search.
i also have the problem that i dont know how to look for that thing,
because im not english.
it would be nice if you can give me a start,
or another way to access the internal storage.
i also thougt about accessing via recovery.
i think i can go into recovery, and by pressing volume and power keys,
i can naviagte to mount data.
but im not sure about the steps,
so if anyone have a dorimanx 7.xx kernel,
can you please write the steps down for me?
thank you.

if you can mount in recovery then mount everything in recovery,connect your device to PC and the open command prompt and navaigate to folder where you have set up android sdk.
now do the following
1) adb shell
2) now type ls -it'll list all folder and files.
3) now navigate to your sd-card (can't tell exact name for internal sd card) by typing cd <directory name>
4) you can list all files by using ls command.
5) Once you find the exact directory name of sd card and files to be recovered then type exit
6) now type adb pull /path/to/your/folder/filename.File will be saved in working directory...
i don't have s2,just helping you with some common adb stuffs.
btw you can use adb file managers which provides GUI.Like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1821601
adb
Connect the phone to system, Open terminal and do adb remount then adb shell.
Now do ls, you will be able to see all the folder and everything. Go to Sd-card folder and there you should have all your data.
There is and app ADBExplorer. I have never used this tool, but you can check it is GUI.
Thanks,
The ADBFileexplorer worked very well for me.
Just booted in recovery and started the explorer.jar in the adb folder.
Thank you for the tips.

Hello all, longtime reader first time poster. I've got the Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1US), and I'm in a "bootloop" situation similar to the others I've seen around here. It seems that the device can't mount the /data partition (mmcblk0p2), and I've tried flashing the stock ROM using Odin in Windoze, Heimdall in both Windoze and Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10 (not that that I expected a difference) and Terra Silent ROM as well. I flashed using the files from zaclimon's post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850), using the pit (with repartition), param, cache, dbdata, factoryfs and zImage. None of that worked, so, I've resigned myself to the fact that my internal memory must have been damaged.
I stumbled on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861294 to try to format my external SD as the /data partition. I realize this isn't for the YP-G1US, but I thought I would try anyway (and the first steps should be agnostic of device.) I made two partitions, one in vfat, the other in ReiserFS, flashed stock ROM using all the files I mentioned above, but still got the bootloop. To monitor the situation, I installed google's SDK tools, but can't get ADB to work with my device. When I am in recovery mode for Terra Silent ROM, I am in USB debugging mode automatically, but ADB shows that my device is offline (specifically, the command 'adb devices' returns '????????? offline' ) I understand this is because my device can't authenticate the RSA key from my computer, which would be a handy feature if my device actually worked (you know, to prevent someone from taking my information.) But, since my device won't boot and I've wiped out all the data it had, this is an unnecessary annoyance that prevents me from diagnosing my problem.
Here are my questions:
1.) Do you know how to restore my device to some sort of working order (which most likely involves mounting the external SD as the internal SD in some manner.)
2.) If you don't know how to do 1.), could you at least tell me how to get ADB to recognize my device so I can figure out what my problem is? Maybe some method of moving the RSA key from my computer to the device, or some other way to run ADB on a device that can boot to recovery or download but not all the way so that I can transfer the key normally?
Thanks very much,
Eric

I am (technically Kubuntu, 12.10), but whether or not you need to be root to use adb depends on where you installed it. At any rate, if it were a root user priviliges issue, I'd be seeing "?????????? No Permissions". I did run adb as root, just to be sure, and got the same response as described in the original post.
I know that the issue is the RSA key authentication (whitelist) "feature" that google introduced with more recent versions of adb, which is fine if you can actually boot your device and click "yes" on the popup that asks to verify that you want the connected computer to access your device. The problem I have has arisen because I can't boot normally (I can only get to recovery) and so can't authorize my computer to connect to my Galaxy player (and so can't transfer the RSA key from my computer to my Galaxy.) So again, I ask, is there a workaround?

The build property ro.adb.secure=0 will override that. You can try putting it in build.prop, but if it doesn't work, you'll have to put it in /default.prop, which requires modifying the kernel ramdisk. While you're at it, ro.secure=0 will give you an automatic root shell.
Hello,
I rooted my Hisense Sountab MA-327 and changed some issues in the builds.prop (before I backup-ed this file first). There was no result for what I was doing after a successful restart, so I copied the backup file back to the system folder. After I restart the device, the system hangs in the boot. I tried to login with ADB to see whats went wrong, but I can can not find a good USB driver for this device. Can some please help me? The device is no useless.
- Is there a good USB driver for the Hisense SoundTab MA-327?
- What do I need the get in the system (ADB tools)?
- Or ... is there a flash/firmware for the Hisense Soundtab MA-327 somewhere available?
I really hope some can help me out.
Thanks in advance

Some please!
What I understood:
You are stuck in a bootloop because you edited the build.prop file, luckily, you made a backup and you know what adb is, and, hopefully, you know how to use it.
How do we solve it?
Well, I need some more information, can you boot into recovery or boot into fastboot mode? If you can, we can make your backup build.prop file active and if that doesn't work, we can just reflash stock ROM, everything will be wiped if you flash stock ROM though.
Hi RAZERZDAHACKER,
Thanks for your help. Yes I can boot into recovery/boot mode (android robot with sign and even can see the menu (Volume + Start). I tried to make an USB connection, but I can not find any driver for this device. Under XP I find a good USB driver, but then ADB want install, in Windows 7 or 10 its the opposite. And even with some not good driver, I see with the command "adb devices": No access, and then 1234567890ABCDEF. Can not find any driver. If possible its no problem to reflash stock ROM, but I do not know how to do this.
I appreciate your help.

Hi RAZERZDAHACKER,
Thanks for your help. Yes I can boot into recovery/boot mode (android robot with sign and even can see the menu (Volume + Start). I tried to make an USB connection, but I can not find any driver for this device. Under XP I find a good USB driver, but then ADB want install, in Windows 7 or 10 its the opposite. And even with some not good driver, I see with the command "adb devices": No access, and then 1234567890ABCDEF. Can not find any driver. If possible its no problem to reflash stock ROM, but I do not know how to do this.
I appreciate your help.

Thanks for replying, you can boot into recovery which is probebly the most vital thing of this whole process (YaY), in recovery, there should be an option called "apply update from adb", if not, kindly name the options. When you click it, what happens in adb? From my experience you don't need drivers to acces "adb sideload" (as the feature is called).
Yes I see the option.
--------
Now send the package you want to apply
to the device with "adb sideload <filename>" ....
---------
I made the backup build.prop earlier to /sdcard on the device. Maybe that was not a good idea.
Oke whats the next step?

Oh, I thought you had it on the pc, I am not sure but can you do "adb sideload /sdcard/build.prop /system"?

That don't work. I get the help of adb when I give the command string. Do not know how this will work with a USB connection. How should Windows and adb know when to get the input from?
when i try adb usb, it start the daemon , but then error: closed
adb devices -> 0123456789ABCDEF sideload
Oke maybe a reflash stock ROM. How does this work?
Again I appreciate all your help.

You get error closed because you're in sideload, I realized that you can't move files in adb sideload. If you want to flash stock ROM, download this and move it to the adb folder and type "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img".
Hope that helps

I will try that of course, but the same image I previously put on SDCARD, inserted it in the bay and dis an update from external drive. Then a message came that hardware was not compatible with the update. I can not find a flash for MA-327 and (again) not for the USB driver. But I will try what you suggest.
I get the error: cannot read 'MA347ENMEG3EV02.img'
Image is 1.744.423.512 size

If you have a sdcard that is large enough for the image (minimum 4gb) you can download win32diskimager. Open win32diskimager and select the .img file. Then, connect your sdcard to your pc and format it to fat32. Then locate it on win32diskimager and write the file. This will take a very long while so please be patient. Once it's done, put it in the hisense and attempt to boot. The android "bios" will go through all the nand memory for a bootable image but since that wont work, it will proceed to check external devices (as far as I know) and once it sees the bootable sdcrad it will, hopefully boot. Once you have booted, don't eject the sdcard, conncect the hisense to your pc and install the necessary adb drivers, then, boot into recovery and hit apply update from adb. Then type adb sideload nameoftheimg.img.
Hopefully that works
Oke. But if it boot from sdcard, then it will not install the img from sdcard?? I though it would.
What are the 'necessary adb drivers'?
And when i give the command "adb sideload nameoftheimg.img, will it get the img from sdcard OR from PC?
So the image is on SDcard AND on the PC? I do not get it (sorry)

Not as far as I know, I could be wrong, it could install from it. As far as the adb driver goes this is what I meant, you manually install them. Yes, the image is on both the pc and sdcrad.

Hello (again)
It will not boot from the sd card. I formatted it FAT32, used Win32DiskManager to write the .img on it, place the sdcard in the hisense and booted it. Press ON. System will not boot on sdcard. Instead it boot from disk. I see the same logo as before, Hisense Smart. It ignores the sdcard.
Booted it in recovery mode (with inserted SDcard). ADB sideload xxx.img, gave same answer: cannot read MAxxx.img. Other option in the recovery mode like update from external image (i hoped the sdcard) does not work either (can not find any /mnt ect file).
How can I force to boot from sdcard? Is the sdcard now bootable (with win32diskmanager). I used Rockchip Create Upgrade Tool 1.43 also, but this app crash when it want to write to SDcard.
No luck with me till now. Is my device saveable at all? Why does it not see the sdcard?

It is saveable, can you give me the link to the .img file? The fact that it says "cannot read" might be that the image file is corrupt. Are you sure you are typing the right name? You can do adb sideload then type the first letter (if it is a big letter type it as big for example Achicken, type A, if it is aCHICKEN, type it as a) and hit tap, that will ensure you have the exact name and dont tamper with it as in add .img at the end.

Yes I always give first letter tap. This is what I typed
adb sideload M (and then tap) => adb sideload MA347ENMEG3EV02.img
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0Bwr18Lh81gvJazJXTGFQTnhDSEk&export=download
Its a rar. I unzipped it with 7-zip
I tryed also adb shell. But device is unauthorized and I get eroor $ADB)VENDOR_KEYS not set (even when I deleted .android in my users dir. Do not get any permission question on device also. My hope is still a bootable SDCard and image.
Thanks

Might seem crazy but check this out, try with your image then his image(s). Remember, booting from an sdcrad is extremely slow, It can actually take 24hours depending on the speed fo your sdcrad so before trying this I suggest you leave it for a day.

Oke, I will wait for a while. But it seems it just hangs in the normal boot.
Thanks for so far. I will report back after the weekend with hopely good news
Hans
I waited for 48hours but nothing happens. Still the screen Hisense Smart.
So it will not boot from SD card and I can not external mount with adb.
When I go in recover mode I see message:
failed to mount /mnt/external_sd (No such device)
SDCard is raw formatted. Can not browse with Windows SDCard. Maybe it should be wrotten different so I can see /mnt/external_sd
Maybe you have a good idea this week for me.

Hi, I'm using a galaxy A03, very similar to A02s. In file managers, I can only move files and put them in data folder, but I cannot delete them nor move them away. After a quick google search I found out that the android 11 storage managerment is called SAF which stands for Storage Access Framework. It doesn't allow me to do the tasks above. So I tried to disable SAF using this command in ADB:
adb shell sm set-isolated-storage off
My phone automatically rebooted, after that the storage turn wierd
Check the picture in this post, you will get what I mean
I just wanna know if anyone know how to disable SAF but still keep access to everything in the home directory.
I have the same phone, but I haven't tried that ADB command. Have you tried restarting both your PC and the phone again, and/or updating the drivers? If it does not work try undoing your changes via adb shell sm set-isolated-storage on.
BTW I see you're still on Windows 7, you might want to upgrade to Windows 10 (and 11 if possible). It's still free but Microsoft doesn't advertise it, you can search around
Oh, I also found this comment on Reddit:
About disabling scoped storage entirely while there is a command for that last time I've tried it on 11 it resulted in both internal and external storages being unable to be mounted

Haha, my pc is slow af so I must use windows 7
I tried to set isolated storage off and nothing can be read when I boot up, and available storage shrinked to 128mb

And it's easy to revert the change, the point of the post is to find out the way to disable scoped storage but still keep access to storage

Guys, can we really actually do this? Why don't you just use file manager and give all those permission? Or is it me that too noob to understand for what this is all about?
