Hi all, there's something bothering me for long.
I have a tablet with internal SD (nand one) and an external SD.
Now I can read contents in internal SD but can't write it. I checked up with root explorer, finding the file sysytem is "read only". After toggling it to R/W, the storage can be written by root explorer but still can't by other apps.
Can anyone help me plz? A lot of thanks!
================ EDIT ================
p.s. When connected to PC as massive storage device, it can be read and written.

Because its internal memory of tablet like root memory of android phone..
So you can write it with root explorer only...
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

thanks but sorry, nah, I'm pretty sure the internal sd is not the root memory. when I download a file, it is meant to be saved in "Download" folder of the internal SD.

You are correct. What are the permissions of the files/folders on there?

The whole SDCARD folder is r/o...
I tried in terminal to mount it as r/w, but writing still fails.
then I tried connecting it to PC and formatting it FAT32... and the formatting failed!
Now i've got a tab without internal SD... guess I have to flash the system again...
Hope there's nothing wrong with the hardware.
Could you please gimme some advice? thanks!

Try a clean install of your ROM. If the problem still exists, try a different ROM. That should determine if its as software/hardware problem.

Has anyone tried this app for Data2SD?
I stumbled upon this app while taking a stroll in the Market. And wanted to share it with y'all.
And, NO, I am not the dev of the app.
☞ The Dev is WindowsNT. ★
I would've tried it myself, but I already have Data2SD on my phone. It might help those who need Data2SD.

I 'm the dev.
I 'd be happy to answer any questions. The app simply creates and formats a storage in the SD, then links data from apps to that partition.

Does it do all this automatically.. I mean is there any special script or kernel required..?

1. You first use the "storage" menu to create a storage file (default 500MB) to be used as a partition. This partition is then automatically formatted to ext2 and mounted on the device startup.
2. From the "apps" menu you select an application and you have a list of the movable files.
3. You move/restore the files you wish.
Of course, don't do it for applications that start on boot, because the storage won't be mounted until the sd card is visible.

Is this only for 2.2 or can it be used for 2.1?
It can be used with 2.1 as it doesn't move the app itself (as the 2.2 system does), it moves the internal data in /data/data/<package>.
(requires root).
Glad to see the Dev himself here.
Hope many people benefit from this App.

Hell mate. I tried this with 500mb.
It stuck at 25mb which is like 5%
Then i formatted my sd card and tried with 50mb and again it stuck at 25mb.
Why is this problem occuring ? Also i have a 16gb sdhc which is class2
Hm, perhaps a problem with your SD card ?
Try this from shell:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/sdcard/rallsd/storage bs=1024 count=102400 (for 100MB).
this is similar to the command used by my app. If it also stucks, then it seems that there's an error with your SD card (chkdsk ?)
If it works, notify me and I 'll take a look.

This dint work too
Then, a storage card issue.
Perhaps a chkdsk would help.

Heh, reply to self, but I managed to work around the initial problem by simply deleting off the storage file, and creating a smaller (128mb) one
hi, i have 2 questions before ill give it a try.
is the app able to allocate free space from the sd card to create the partition
or do i have to wipe the sd completely before ?
will the app interfere in any way with already installed and normal moved apps ?
thanx in advanced, stavro
Doesn't work on my Archos 7ob eReader (Eclair 2.1). Once the second part created by Root All to SD, it doesn't recognize its job ! Worse, Windows can't at all read the SD Card.

in the meantime i am using link2sd on my rooted stock rom.
works perfect. i just had to create a second partition on my sd card
(no need to wipe the sd) and start the application. no "not enough memory" problems anymore

Three questions
I have three questions:
1) How can I reduce size of allocated memory space (I have mount 2 GB but now I see that is to much for my needs)
2) What happens with files that are on mounted partition if I uninstall Root all to SD app? How can I move it back to the original place?
Thanks in advance!

Unzip .21
Unzipped file will be another zip
Put that zip on the root of storage
Reboot
this is what i found but i would like to know what does it means by root storage and do i put the file in my micro sd card or internal storage?
thank you

By root storage, it means not in a folder on the sdcard.
If you think of the sdcard as a folder with many sub-folders, then you do not want it in one of the sub-folders, but in the sdcard folder itself.
I hope that makes sense and hasn't confused you further.
Hi everyone,
Few days back when I was in Sammy LSJ ROM, I noticed there is a file already created and I am experiencing difficulty to delete this file from the Internal Storage.
Location:
/sdcard/00/01/02/03/
Inside this path, there is a file with weird character name in 0 byte.
I already try to delete that file (also try with the folder 03) from:
>> Root Explorer --> unable to go inside folder 03
>> My Files (comes with the OS) --> only can see one file with 0 byte
>> ES Explorer --> found three files in it, all with 0 byte
None of it allows me to delete it. :crying:
I did try to remove it from Terminal Emulator with command “rm –rf /sdcard/00/01/02/03/” but not successful, since I have limited knowledge on linux command line. You may refer the screenshot that I have attach in here.
My Current OS in SGS2 : WanamLite v14.1 LSD – 4.1.2
Appreciate can someone guide me how to permanently remove it? :fingers-crossed:
Thank you.
Bump.... any help is highly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
One sure way would be to backup needed data and then format /emmc (internal) or /sdcard (external) via cwm and re-install rom.

Connect your phone to a windows computer via mass transfer mode. Then right click on the internal SD card icon and go to properties and check disk for error. It happened with me. Some bad sector was built up. This process removed those files and my bad sector was also removed. You can also defragment your drive from here. I did mine.
I hope it helps...
Best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestion. :good:
Whenever I connect my phone to PC (USB mass storage), I shall see a pop up windows to perform check disk for the phone (Internal Storage).
So I choose "Automatically fix file system errors" and "Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors".
Then I remove the phone and reconnect back, it will prompt the same windows.
Using defragment from PC did not solve the problem as well.
At the end... I managed to solve my problem by formatting the Internal Storage from Windows:
- connect the phone as "USB mass storage"
- select full format from PC on Internal Storage
That's all... now the annoying folder 00 no longer appear.
**I'm not sure format from Windows will damage the partition in Phone's Internal Storage? I rebooted the phone and check again, the storage remain as 11.50GB, I guess should be all fine now.
And you didn't have to torch it after all.

There is hope. I can link all the files to you later because I'm busy now, but I can tell you the way. I'm assuming you already have Odin and all the stock .pda and .tar files. So first flash the .pit and .tar and then flash the .pit and a file called dbdata which should be everywhere if you look for it. The dbdata file should mount your system and fix that problem. Also make sure you have re-format checked. If I remember right just playing around with those helped me with the same problem. I think the dbdata didn't work the first few tries then I tried something else and it worked

Someone in another thread had close to the same problem, this method might wipe your sd, it might not I can't remember, but I don't think it should.
Here is where you can find all the stock files
Here is the dbdata file
EDIT: You should probably also know this will put you one pure-unrooted-straight from the factory-stock.
Did you solve your problem? Share it!!

I think my Internal SD card has broken,so the only way is swapping external and internal SD card. Now the question is i don't konw how to swap them in Android 4.4,all the old ways have failed.
In android 2.3~4.2 ,I swap them by edit /system/etc/vold.fstab
In android 4.3,vold.fstab has gone,I swap them by edit /system/build.prop
But in android 4.4, it also doesn't work

Had the same issue after flashing a new kernel. Had to mount my device as USB storage to my PC, backup the data and format the external card (make sure you don't format the internal one). That should solve your problem.
However, I faced the same issue after flashing a new kernel. Looking for an answer myself.
