Hi there
I have a big problem with my phone,every time that i try to save a program on memory card i can't access the icon, it appear like corrupt and impossible
to find the program.I can access the program from my phone using the file explorer for example:
Memory card/program/ if i do it this ways it work's but not from the program section.
At the beginning i thought that was a problem with my memory card,so then i've bought another new one, Sandisk but i still have this problem!
Is it a problem of my device for example the slot of the memory card?
Does anyone had my same problem?
Please Help Me!
Can someone help me please!!!

I have never installed the program to microSD... I always install to device. I am not sure how you can fix your problem. I am sure someone on the board will know what's going on.

Hi tetsuokaneda,
Your problem was broken link between shortcut file and executable file of your application!
You can use File Explorer to:
- Delete some died shortcut in "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/".
- Go to "/Storage card/Programs/Your Applications" and make a shortcut from executable file again
- Move a new shortcut to "/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/" folder
You can check by press Start/Programs, if it shows the right icon it is possible to active. If not, you have to soft reset you device. Event, you must Hard Reset!
Lucky!

maybe this ROM you are using doesnt support installing programs to microSD. try flashing to a different rom and formatting your micro sd and see if it happens again.

I'm using ur same Rom!U don't have my same problem right???
or anyone who knows the answer... lol
Ok so here is my problem....
everytime my phone starts it copies over the following files to the root of my storage card "pim.vol, eT9Cdb.Cdb, eT9Rudb.Rdb" so when i do a hard reset i put into the initflashfiles.dat
Directory("\"):-File("pim.vol","\storage card\pim.vol")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("eT9Rudb.Rdb","\storage card\eT9Rudb.Rdb")
Directory("\Windows"):-File("eT9Cdb.Cdb","\storage card\eT9Cdb.Cdb")
I also tried, as a test to copy them to my documents and that also did not work. Now the rom still loads and it does not freeze during first boot, if you were thinking that i did not delete the first two bytes. it just does not copy them from the storage card to the device i had it setup like this on my x7500 and it worked perfectly so im not sure what the problem is. Any thoughts ?
thanks for looking

You could try using a provxml file operation instead? Not sure if initflashfiles generally is happy about copying from a removable storage device such as the sd slot (just a guess), since in your Athena it is a fixed disk it may behave differently??
Another thing you could try is to do the copy operation as a stage of the customization process, use an xml file in there?? Perhaps the SD bus driver is not loaded until after initflashfiles has completed since really it has to run that before alot of other operations on first boot?

I'd use CPY1/CPY2 in a UC script
Code:
CPY1:\storage card\pim.vol
CPY2:\pim.vol
CPY1:\storage card\eT9Rudb.Rdb
CPY2:\Windows\eT9Rudb.Rdb
CPY1:\storage card\eT9Cdb.Cdb
CPY2:\Windows\eT9Cdb.Cdb

i thought about doing this but i read somewhere that sdautorun does not like spaces in the files path.... thanks for the info
ok so i tried using the cpy1/cpy2 and it actully worked however it did not copy over the pim.vol so i tried to copy it over manually and it let me but after i did that i could no longer press on contacts, calender, or get to the phone pad any thoughts?
I think you'll probably need to close down any process actively using the pim database before copying it over, it's probably open when you're overwriting it and getting corrupted..

i changed the reg values to my documents then changed them back, i am kindof thinking that htc may have set this up a little differently on the TP which is why i am having so much trouble but thats is only my guess
ok so im thinking part of the problem is that the pim.vol file is working with some other file for contacts, here is why: i copied the pim.vol file from my rom renamed it pim.vol_ put it into my rom and flashed it, of course i put Directory("\Windows"):-File("pim.vol","\Windows\pim.vol_") into the initflashfiles.dat file and still not contacts. so i have no idea why this does not work any thoughts. thanks
I can't seem to locate the directory folder that the new firefox app downloads to. anyone?
Nevermind, it goes right to the sdcard, no folder. I didn't see the files because the downloads failed...
can't seem to get the download folder to change.
I went into:
about:config
created a new string: browser.download.dir
set the value to: /mnt/extSdCard/Downloads/
Restarted Firefox
But still the downloads go into the sdcard/downloads
I've also tried:
/extSdCard/Downloads/
/sdcard/
/extSdCard/
/mnt/sdcard
none of these have any effect.
Any ideas?

Im also looking for changing my dl directory. It have work once for me when modifying the "browser.download.folderList" after creating the browser.download.dir string. But after reboot of firefox the next dl will go back again to the sdcard.
Wonder if anyone else could tell how to do it
creating a new string is a good step for changing your dl directory. But you should also add this step to make it work.
Modify the value of "browser.download.folderList" from 1 to 2
Thats it!!

When editing your old posts, try not to delete the original information that could have been useful to others.
People won't have known what value to put into the string.

I hate managing folders so now I use directory bind which allows me to bind two folders together. Basically you create another downloads folder on your external sd card and use directory bind to "bind" them. Checkbox to transfer contents and your downloads (source) folder will be dumped into the empty folder you've created automatically (destination must be empty when checking the box). When altering files in either downloads folder, the changes appear in both. When you look at storage, the original source folder is not calculated into your used internal storage amount even though every other app sees files in there (since that would defeat the purpose). I use it for my downloads, camera and several apps and game folders not designed to be pushed to SD. Instead of continuously resetting app download destinations, I sit back and relax knowing every app downloads to the proper place (minus the rogues who think they deserve their own folder lol). When flashing a new ROM, simply unbind everything first and disable autostart, backup with titanium backup, after restore, you should be good (depending on your new version of android in which case you may need to adjust some settings). If setting up from scratch again, assuming your working folder structure is still in tact, you can bind again without ticking the box (since the files are in their proper place and a transfer is no longer necessary).
You can get it here, it looks like it hasn't been updated in a while, but I've tested it from Android 4.0 through 4.2.2 and it's perfect (settings adjustments will likely be required): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410262
Hi everyone, was a solution found to that still issue? I tried to move the default download folder to the ext SD card with settings into about:config, I changed as well the "browser.download.folderList" value to 2 and add a "browser.download.defaultFolder" string, but everything failed, please does someone know what to do? Or is there another setting menu or mod/Exposed module to achieve this..?
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, thanks for your help, but it still don't work for me. What I don't understand is that the path can be whether
/storage/sdcard1/Download
or
/ext_card/Download
Maybe you know why? I'm running CM11 nightlies (4.4.4) on Xperia Z2

With a r/w sd? Use a root explorer to find the path to the r/w sd
I'm very busy and sorry not to say anything for long but thank you much for your answer and help.
My path is correctly pointing the SD, I checked carefully the settings and got no success. Then suddenly Firefox began to write on ext sd, but still this is only sometimes! I tried to see if the files type or size had something to do with that behavior but it seems to be just erratic..
It actually seems that it's the "Flash Video Downloader" module who sends files into the internal storage regardless of the browser settings..
Ok,now let me do it simple....I had the same bledy prob with my sgs2.
As I searched the net,it was almost impossible to fix that prob...
I was advised to bring my phone to the service center.
Anyway, don't worry as there is a way to fix it.But, i'm not giving you guys any link here because i'm currently posting this from my phone and it's not easy.
First,get the Android root explorer from the market.Then find the folder called " efs " in your root.Open it and find for the file " nv_ data.bin " and " nv_data.bin.md5 " now look at the date below it.and if i'm not mistaken, that's the date you ruined your devise.Ok,now look at the date of the file with the same name above but with and extension of " .bak " ...the .bak file must have an earlier date compared to the original one(if the date is not in an earlier state,i don't think it's possible to fix your phone).
This files are basically the backup of your IMEI...
Next, fine any apps to recover your efs folder...ive pasted the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138873
Once u got the folder,go in and delete the " nv_data.bin.md5 " " nv_data.bin "
Now rename both the bak file with the name above...
Thatd it...now restore the efs back to your phone...and,done...you've done it..
If that method doesnt work, you need to format your efs before restoring the modified files...
I'm really really sorry I can't give you the links...i really had it fixed easily with the method I used...
I spent almost a month to figure out the way to fix this ****...So just decided to share it with you guys...Sharing is caring...
Hi,
I am using a Nexus S. The phone had a short circuit on the board. I got that fixed.. but post that I am facing the same problem. The IMEI and the baseband version have been wiped out!
I did try your approach. i.e I renamed that .bak to .bin and deleted the .bin. Then rebooted the cellphone.. Things remain the same. Am i missing some step here?
Could u please clarify the following lines from ur post:-
"Thatd it...now restore the efs back to your phone...and,done...you've done it..
If that method doesnt work, you need to format your efs before restoring the modified files...
"
1 - What do u mean by restoring the efc back to my phone?
2 - What do u mean by formatting your efs before restoring the modified files.
Please help me out!
Then why have you posted in the SGS2 forum ? Try again here.

This might be a dumb question, but I am a noob and need someone to please help me out. I just unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone, so my question is if I perform a back up and then Flash a 4.2.2 rom in TWRP recovery can I restore back to the stock rooted 4.1.2? I searched on the forum to see if this question had been asked before, but I couldn't find anything. If someone could please answer my question asap I would greatly appreciate it.
Also if this question was posted in the wrong section feel free to move it or let me know any I will delete it and post it in the right place.
Thanks again
Yes

Thanks for the response I read somewhere, that when you update to a 4.2.2 rom the 4.1.2 rom back gets deleted.

No. Going to 4.2.2 moves the sdcard contents to /data/media/0 (if I remember correctly). I've seen some recommend backing up your sdcard to your computer, formatting the sdcard on the device, then restoring the contents after you flash to 4.2.2.
At any rate, everything will still be there: just somewhere else.
Thanks for the reply Simba, do know how to back up your sdcard to your computer and then format the sdcard on the device

I'm going to get really basic, so don't be offended if it seems like I'm assuming you don't know how to do something. I always outline everything exactly for future people who find this thread. I've found countless old threads that have been a huge help because someone took the time to type everything out .
*Connect your device and access your sdcard files by opening My Computer - you should see your device*
Literally just copy all of the contents to your computer. Create a folder on your desktop (or wherever), select everything on your sdcard (ctrl + A), copy (ctrl + C), and paste it in the folder.
Then just delete everything on the sdcard after you've confirmed a successful copy. Same thing - ctrl + A, delete.
After you flash 4.2.2, connect the device again and copy/paste (or drag/drop) the contents of the folder (not the folder itself, but everything inside of it) you created to your device. You'll have all your files without dealing with them being in a different location.
There was some discussion of a way to execute a shell command that would fix the issue. I'm an experienced user; the contents of the sdcard ended up being wiped lol. Save yourself the headache.
By the way, I'm assuming you're on PC by giving those ctrl commands lol. If you're not (on Mac, I suppose), do whatever the equivalent is.
Not offended at all, I really appreciate you simpling it down for me. I have a few small quick questions for you, if I am using a Mac (I have both but Mac is my daily computer) do I just connect my phone and use something like Android file transfer or Htc sync manager to copy all the folders inside the sdcard to my computer? After flashing the 4.2.2 where on the phone do I copy the files I backed up on my computer on to? And if I erase everything off the SD card after copying it to the computer won't that effect the operating system? Especially if I chose to flash back to the 4.1.2 stock rom? Sorry to ask you so many questions but I am really new to this, and I appreciate all the help you can give me the last thing I want to do is brick my phone.

I'm sure that would work, though I have no experience with either. And typically, the directory you see on the computer is the default sdcard location. So there isn't a specific place you need to put it.
And it won't affect the operating system. At boot, Android automatically creates certain folders and files anyway. There are data files that apps use, but if they aren't there, they'll just recreate them. At the worst, a skin (or the like) won't be available if the file isn't on the sdcard. I've seen this with a calendar widget I use. Everything becomes fully functional once the files are back.
I don't really like using that verbiage - "functional," because it is perfectly safe to delete the sdcard's contents. Like I said, Android creates folders/files at boot, so they're not really necessary. Anything that affects the operating system is tucked away in a directory that requires root access :good:.
Big thanks for all the help Simba, you helped out a lot.

You wouldn't want to use HTC Sync as this only transfers files like music, pictures and such. You would actually want to open up your sdcard and copy all as was told. I use Linux now so I don't have to worry about Sync, but I personally think it is a useless piece of software. It is easier to just drag and click, and you don't need a program to do that.
Congrats on entering the world of rooting and customization BTW! :good: It's addictive, be warned! :cyclops:
Okay thanks for the reply, that's actually what it did (drag and dropped to my computer) :highfive:
