Last night I go into CWM and accidently press fix permissions after a while I reboot my phone
And now, everytime I go into Setting - Storage, a notification says "Unfortunately, Setting has stopped",
Also when I plug the phone to my PC it my internal and external storage are not shown on my desktop and it says "Unfortunately, USB Connectivity has stopped"
The thing is,when I remove my microsd, everything works fine, when I insert it, it's like there is a conflict between my microsd and internal storage. So without microsd my internal storage can be seen from Setting - Storage, but if microsd is inserted, none can be seen, and I can't even go into Setting - Storage
I'm using MT27i_6.1.1.B.1.10_Global.ftf ICS firmware
Things that I've tried
1. Wipe everything (Dalvik, cache, data, etc)
2. Do a system restore from CWM to the time when everything is fine
3. Fix my permission again
4. Re-install my firmware via PC Companion
5. Re-install my firmware via Flashtool
And it's still not working, help me please..
try to restore the phone to factory settings.
Settings -> Back-up and restore -> factory reset.
Alas, I tried a different microsd this morning and walah.. it became normal.. I think it's a bad microsd problem, or so I hope.. will be testing it for a while now.. wish me luck
Buy or if you have an USB Card Reader. Plug it in your PC. Go to properties and select check for errors and defrag it if possible.
Yep, I tried 3 other microsd and all of them work fine..
Try settings reset
Also do a factory data reset

I just bought a used vibrant... sadly it has a huge problem.
Problem consists of:
1.Can't remove previous user gmail account
2. Can't download apps from market
3. If an app is installed to external sd, it will install.
4. If anything is put on the phone (pictures, apps, music), it will be removed after the phone is restarted.
5. Capturing picture from camera, if the file put in internal memory, it can't be opened or sometimes error.
6. Receiving mp3 or mp4 file from bluetooth that put in internal memory, all files gonna error & can't be open.
7. can't root the phone because everything is WIPE while restarting the phone include the update.zip that placed in internal memory.
8. some old photos can't be delete from internal memory, once the phone is restart, those photos are appear again.
Attemps to fix include:
1.Formating internal and external sd
2.Wiping data in recovery
3.Flashing multiple roms in recovery
4.using odin with repartition checked
now i'm using JI6
anybody can help pleaseeee.
thank you
Wait, you used ODIN and the other account is still logged in? If that's the case then it doesn't sound like ODIN is working. ODIN if i'm not mistaken is basically re-writing everything from the ground up, bootloader, recovery, radio, kernel, rom. Can you give us a little more info such as what happens when you flash another rom, or after you use odin.
One other thing, you mentioned that you can't root the phone, yet you said that you have tried to install other roms. Are you sure you're doing everything properly? In ODIN does the console recognize your phone? Can you get into download mode?
Yeah, something in the OP is NOT correct.
OP, could you try the ALT METHOD in the NOOB GUIDE in my signature. It will take care of everything as I have used it many times as well as others. It will give you root, jk2 froyo and then you can flash on top of it.... no way in previous data should be stored.
Also, didnt see you listed a factoy reset which is in the settings options.
@Paging :
Of course Odin recognize my phone & I can get to download mode or recovery mode. I try using odin to flash the ROM to JI6. But everthing inside the internal memory is not wipe. Not much differences after flashing. But everytime I restart my phone, there is a pop-up message that said "sorry can't open maps....." or "sorry can't open amazone...." Those old photos that stored in internal memory is not wipe and the gmail account also not erased / remove.
As I said before, I don't know what should I do for rooting since the phone gonna wipe out all new file. When I put update.zip in the root, it's wipe when I restart my phone. So, how can I use this file in recovery mode ? When I choose "reinstall package"... it said :
E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
Installation aborted.
I tried using "one click root". It's useless either
What I've done so far is : I can flash the rom to JI6, JI2 and JK2 (all using Odin). Now I'm running in JI6. While flashing using odin, I don't tick the "re-partition" box. So far this this phone is working, but have much trouble as I mentioned above.
@s15274n :
in your noob guide, it said that :
I have already renamed the file update.zip so all that is required is moving this to your internal memory, NOT in a folder. You should use a file manager (or your PC) so that it appears like this:
sdcard/update.zip
1. Download the attached zip and rename to: update.zip
2. On your device, navigate to Settings > Applications > USB settings and select Mass storage
3. Plug your device into your computer, select mount USB from your device's pull-down window
4. Copy the update.zip to the INTERNAL SD memory (~14gb on this drive, not the one w/ Avatar if you've still got the 2gb SD card in)
5. Turn your phone off.
6. Hold down volume up and volume down while powering on the phone, this should get you to a recovery menu, you may have to try this a few times.
7. In Recovery menu select 'Reinstall Packages' (use vol_down then power to select)
when I connect the phone to PC, I can see the 13.6GB internal memory. I can see the folders : DCIM, data, amazonmp3, mobi_drm, slacker svox, Android and SD (external sd).
BUT I can't see sdcard/.
There is another SD folder which is hidden folder.
I already put update.zip file in the root directory, not inside of those folders. But it's wipe after the phone restart. So I try the frustating way, I copy update.zip file to root, and to all those folder include the hidden SD folder. It still not working. All those files wiped after my phone restart.
I haven't install any program / application inside my phone because it's gonna wipe after restart. I check my "sd card & phone storage", it said that
Phone storage:
Total space 13.18GB
Available space 13.15GB
Application Storage :
Available Space : 1.6GB
Is that normal ? Why the application storage is so small ?????
of couse I try the factory reset. I already unmount internal memory & format it.
But... those old photos & gmail account is still untouchable.
any idea how to fix this problem ?
How if I using "one click unroot" ? is it safe ?
please help me.
try doing a phone data reset
you will find that under settings > privacy > reset phone data
also, make sure you're micoSD is plugged in. 2 mintues ago i was having the same exact problems as you were having so i finally decided to give it a one last go before calling it a night. I plugged my microSD card in and re-attempted to root my phone and surprisingly that did the trick....it could be just a coincidence though
good luck!
Unfortunately the phone data reset did not solve the issue.
OK, after playing with the phone somemore, I found out that I can temporarily root my vibrant using the OCLF 2.3.0 - Z4Root app; I verified this by running the "su" command under terminal emulator. However once the phone is restarted, the su/root privilege is gone and I would have to install OCLF and run the Z4Root app again to gain root access. I don't think this is normal?
What's strange is that I can flash different ROMs using Odin without any issue, but I simply can't root the phone permanently. Does any one have any more idea I can try?

i had the same problem as you my friend.
every night im trying all i can to delete the undeleted files but no success..
i had the exact problem as you with my galaxy s.
please help us.
when i reboot all apps are force closing even my bluetooth cant turn on because
its force closing also.
OP,
I would:
- remove external SD card
- desktop > menu > settings > SD and phone storage > format phone storage.
- ODIN back to original stock, JDF. follow the ODIN instruction [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475]here[/URL].
This should put your phone back to the original stock. There should be none of the old system data, kernel, root or anything. Your SD card should also be clear of all old data, which could be preventing permanent rooting. From this point you should be able to root, install cwr and flash roms at will.
I don't think there is a way for data to survive a JDF odin nor an SD card format.

@jamir5:
so what did u use for your ROM ?
Now I'm back to JFD... everything is back like the factory reset, but those problems still remains. At least there are no pop-up error message anymore.
I don't know what should I do now ? even factory reset or repartition using odin still can't help us. hik...hikss.....
I'm start to thinking that it's a hardware problem.
same here flashed to stock rom force closures are gone bluetooth working again but still cant delete wipe or access the internal sd..tried every solution u could but no luck..
Hello
I downloaded an app called 'To Do List' and it created a folder called "download manager" on my SD card which i have since managed to delete.
However, everytime i boot my Hero, it takes a long time to start and always gives me the message that touch input settings is not responding and i have to force close. And then my keyboard does not work. Also, since installing this app my phone does not recognise the SD card. It says "Unavailable" in Settings > SD Card & Phone storage.
I put my SD card in a card reader and connected it to my PC and it recognises it and this is where i deleted the "download manager" folder.
Since then i have installed two different Roms and both are still giving me the same problem.
I have since deleted the app but i think the problem is there is a file called "download manager" in:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
When i click on it, it gives me the option to "Clear data" . So i click on that and it tells me it will permanently delete all of this applications data. However, when i reboot the phone the file is stiill there and running.
I'm no expert but i think this is what's causing the problem. Is there any way i can delete this file so it never comes back cos its really getting on my nerves that my phone isn't working properly.
I have done a factory data reset several times but still i have the same problem.
I have done the reset through Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset.
When installing the new rom i have done data wipe, cache wipe and dalvik wipe.
Still the little ****** doesn't go away.
Can somebody please help?
Thank you.
try an Sd card wipe as well when flashing a new rom.. including wiping your ext partition and then re forming.. that is if you are using an ext apps2sd
i'm reluctant to re-format my SD card because i have a lot of music/photos etc stored on there. i do have them backed up on my PC however it does take a long time to drag them onto my SD card.
I deleted the download manager file from my sd card so i'm guessing the problem file it stored on the phones memory.
Is there no way to delete files from the manage applications part on the phone?
Well I think you should give it a go.backup your photos and music and then re Copy them. Even if it does take up to an hour it maybe better than living with the annoyances

Do you use apps2sd using the ext partition. Not wiping that would be a problem when flashing most new roms
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App
i re formatted my SD card and flashed a new rom and all seems to be ok now. took me a while but it seems to have paid off. Thank you so much for your help.

When I connect my phone to my computer with the USB cable, and mount it, the drives do not show up on my computer. Everything looks correct on the phone. I want to get everything off of the phone. What can be done to fix this??
I have tried uninstalling/re-installing the drivers, rebooting my phone, checking/un-checking debugging, and nothing works. Without fixing this, I can not even Odin back to stock or flash a new ROM.
flash different kernel ! or go to dev section and find sd card fix .
sd not showing up on your computer is kernels fault which one you are on some of them are buggy and wont display sd card in computer tab .
pull your external memmory out of the phone put it in the SD SLOT IN YOUR COMPUTER copy rom of your choice ! eject the sd out of your computer put it back in the phone wualllla

Yes, I did that. Like I said, the phone is acting like it is supposed to, but I can not access either the internal nor external SD card through explorer.
You might want to try replacing the connector cable. I had the same problem with my epic and that fixed it
Good luck

I am running a custom ROM. What do you mean by "Fix permission" & "factory reset"? Will doing a factory reset take me back to stock?
i tell this to everyone who has this problem: start simple. the first thing you should do in this case is reinstall you drivers. i know it sounds silly, but i have frequent mounting issues that are always resolved by simply running the SamsungDrivers.exe and reinstalling them. it refreshes the driver.
not saying its going to work everytime, but its quite possible. ive suggested this to many people in the past and it worked for them.....give it a shot.

yes factory reset will leave you on the rom you are on right now just all from scratch all your programs will be wiped and also all unecesary files that might prevent your computer from finding your sd but REINSTALL THE DRIVERS FIRST SEE HOW THAT GOES as sometimes simple things like that are the problem .

I wiped everything and it fixed my issue. I still do not know were to "Fix permission", but at this point it works. Now when I unplug the USB, it still shows that the phone is still connected through the USB in the top left corner of the phone. Why is that?
Hi,
So I tried to wipe the cache of my Swype keyboard but I identically cleared the data, and this for some reason has led to the destabilizing of my entire phone.
So initially I got the "Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped working" error. So I just disabled the keyboard and installed the GO keyboard so that have something to work with. However, my SD card is UNREADABLE, gallery won't open, camera won't work, can't view images sent to me, I can't even backup my contacts and messages to do a clean install because my phone can't pick up an external SD!
Do you guys have any idea on how I could either
a) fix this
b) backup my contacts and messages without the use of an app that requires I have an SD card
Also, if I go to ClockWorkRecovery, my SD card is picked up. I have tried wiping cache and dalvik as well as installing the rom over again, didn't work.
Thanks

How does clearing data on Swiftkey fck up a phone so bad??
So I'm just literally fu*ked up. Everyting started yesterday then I decided to clean my phone using SDmaid like I do regularly once a month or so.. After cleaning it I noticed that most of my apps disappeared. Then I just opened settings, few other apps and everything crashed. Then I was pressing all the buttons and lockscreen showed up, but screen was not responding to my touches. I force rebooted it, but after booting everything was laggy and frezed again. Then I entered TWRP and cleared davlik cache and cache. Still nothing changed. I reflashed ROM. Nothing. I deleted everything, formated memory, wiped all the parts. And then connected my opx to pc, to upload rom, kernel, supersu. Then I noticed that the sd card isn't responding. I took it out and connected directly to my pc. Tried formatting it, chkdisk in command prompt, virus scan and so on.. Nothing - all my files left and they are unusable just like the card itself. How do I fix this? Then after wiping I noticed one thing - it says dev/zero process ended wit ERROR=255 and it happens all the time then I try to wipe /data. So I assume the /data is corrupted too? I hope you understood something and will be able to help me. Now excuse me while I'll be crying in the corner :crying::crying::crying:
How I assume is that the SDMaid app somehow managed to break my sd card and /data? Help, I really need my phone tomorrow.

it might be corrupted then. try out deleting and recreating partition table:
go cmd lane(admin rights)
1. diskpart
2. list disk
3. select diskN #where number is your microSD
4. clean
5. create partition primary size=x #X stands for unallocated space
6. select partition1
7. format fs=fat32 quick
8. assign (adds a letter for drive)
