[Q] Mass storage and sdcard problem creating folder - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I owned the Samsung Galaxy S2.
ICS 4.0.4
Baseband version I9100XXLQ5
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XXLQ5-CL753921
Build number IMM76D.XXLQ5
I have a problem I can not solve, so I hope someone will help!
Can not create a folder in "sdcard". When I try to create a folder appears the error "Sorry, operation failed." I use ES File Explorer.
Also when you want to copy a folder from the external sd, disallowing.
Note that the external _sd can create a folder and I have no problem as the sdcard (internal memory).
Also when I connect my phone to PC as Mass Storage, the sdcard can not create a folder.
It appears to me the error "The file '<1% NULL: NameDest>' is too large for the destination file system".I tried to re flashing ROM,but no effects.
I will be grateful if someone help me or direct me to where I can find a solution to this problem.

I Also had this Problem, the way i fixed it was:
1. close your phone and remove your SD card.
2. plug the SD card to your PC and run Error checking & Defragmentation.
3. if you wish Format the SD (i did that).
4. put back the SD card in your phone.
5. i used Astro file manger on my phone try this app to make /copy / paste on your SD.
Hope that will help you as it help me.
If not the last thing i can advice you to do is to replace the SD with a Different SD and see if with another one it is working... maybe your SD card just died on you...
Good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did what you said, and I tried a new card, but it did not help.
My problem is to create a folder on the internal memory and copying from external memory. T
he external card can I create a folder and I have no problems there.

I solved the problem. I did Factory data reset.
My phone was first a SIM lock, so I unlocked the service.
I was afraid that it will be locked again if you do Factory data reset, but I risked, and there were no problems.
Only now I have another problem, 4GB internal memory, and should be 16GB.( i not touched PIT file)

[Q] Can't update apps on SD card

Dear All
I can't update the apps that moved on SD card, but has no problem after moving back to phone ? Anyone know the solution ? Thanks
I had the same problem. I was able to resolve the problem by mounting my phone to USB. Then delete the file smdl2tmp1.asec in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ directory.
After deleting the file from the sdcard, I was able to install all apps again
you can do two thgs.
1:delete the file smdl2tmp1.asec in the /sdcard/.android_secure/ directory wt he said if not
2:you may try this, go to setting and choose save to phone instead of sd card. this may allow updates.

i can't find the .android_secure folder. does my phone need to be rooted?
finally!
After reading through a million posts and blogs and pulling out my hair, it was the smdl2tmp1.asec causing all my problems!!! Thanks for the post! Of the hundreds I've read, this is the first reference to the right thing.
any other ideas?
I'm having the same problem. That directory on my phone says it's empty. Yet
, I still can't update apps on the SD card. Any other ideas?
Another path
My .android_secure folder was also empty but other sources said there's another folder to look,
./mnt/secure/asec/
this folder requires root access and using root explorer

[Q] Broken sdcard reader on phone?

Hi,
Yesterday I was backuping files from sdcard to pc. I accidentally interrupted it in the middle of the process and then I got warnings on phone about sddcard being corrupted.
Next thing I did, was to change my firmeware (ICS). (Thats why I was backuping). In new firmaware I still got info about sd card being corrupted so I tried to format it on phone with no results. I formatted it on PC to fat system.
NOW here is a problem:
When I put a sdcard which is full (transferred files from PC) - in settings - storage I can seee that it is full (gives info about how many mbs are free). However when I try to enter external_sd with ES File Explorer or normal android explorer it shows that there are NO files on sdcard. When I try to connect phone with sdcard in it to PC I can only see main phone storage not SD card.
It happens with every sdcard I put into my phone.
Anyone knows what to do?
EDIT: Now I am on Hydrogen ICS
Did you check to see if the SD card was mounted?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Yes it is. In settings I can see how much space is on it left.
*Is there a format option in ICS?*
*Maybe I should try formatting from recovery? How to?*
But still other sd cards doesn't work either.
My fault - Hydrogen ICS has new path to sdcard /emmc.
*panic mode off*
LOL........
since you sort it out yoursself, and cant thank yourself I made it for you....

please help, my storage paths are messed up...

Hi guys, I'm using CM9 the final build (stable) and I never had any problems with this rom...
But now, I have a real bizarre problem here... I do not know where it came from, but I assume it's because I plugged my device to the computer as Mass Storage device for the first time ever, (I usually use MTP)...
The problem: suddenly I noticed that when I get into my file explorer (no matter which one) within the Internal SD Card I see the contents of the removable memory card (external SD Card)...
On the other hand when I jumped to the External SD Card (removable card) I found that it's had the content of the Internal SD Card ... Bizarre ehh? But Everything works as usual, except my ringtones and stuff like that, I guess because the Paths are changed... Anyway when I connect the device as MTP to the computer and get inside the Internal Storage (with my Windows Explorer) everything is fine! same for the External storage, everything is fine there too!
I guess that somehow the paths to my partitions Mixed up (only for the device itself)...
when I removed the Micro SD card and boot the device, I can see in my file explorer that the path " /mnt/sdcard" is empty!
but when I go to "/mnt/emmc" I can see that all my data is there, the "android" folder and "data" folder and etc.. are there too..
I don't know what to do to get back to normal...
As you can see in my screenshot, the Device thinks that internal memory has 30 GB and the external memory has 11... but the 30GB is my MicroSD card and not my device internal storage...
Can anyone help me plz?

If you know any previous CM9 version or CM9 based Rom you used where the mount point was ok or the way you want, then proceed to next step.
- open the zip of that Rom you downloaded, navigate to /system/etc
- we'll need this file: vold.fstab
- so extract vold.fstab to a location on your phone
-using ROOT browser/explorer, replace vold.fstab in /system/etc folder on your phone with the one you extracted
-change permissions of the new file to rw-r-r (644)
-reboot your phone
Everything should be working well now
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
wow, man thank you very much!
you gave me an idea, I wanted to check if this problem caused by me or if it's came with the Rom...
so I downloaded the latest Nightly to my PC and opened up the .fstab file and I can see that it goes like that:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc 11 /devices/platform/dw_mmc/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0 nonremovable,encryptable
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc1
so I assume thata I'm not the only one with this "problem" as I can understand, CM team changed that in purpose ?
so maybe other CM9 users also got this?
maybe this is not a peoblem as I was thinking?
anyway I think I'm gonna change it back to Sdcard... I loved it as it was...

OK, I something really weird is going on here...
I installed the latest CM9 rom on my friend's S2 and i can see that the .fstab file on his device is exactly the same as my .fstab file!
same device, same rom , same .fstab file and on my device the internal SD card is the Micro SD and on his device the Internal SD Card is the REAL internal storage?!?
something really weird is going on here... What can I do?
Do I have to Format my device and install some other ROM? because flashing the last CM9 Nightly didn't helped me :\
plz help

Ok.
That's weird, really.
Try this:
Goto Settings, storage and press options, select swap mount points.....
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
I don't have this option...
I have "USB computer connection" and "Storage Configuration"... (CM9 standard).
anyway, I edited that .Fstab file and it seems that everything is ok now... weird cuz as I already said previously, on my friend's device everything is ok without editing that Fstab file...
Dono what is the problem, but I'm glad that everything got back to normal for me.
I tested it in CWM and the mounting is correct, so the External SD is the Micro SD card (my ROMs location ).
thanks again...
Maybe I'll check that Paranoid android you've got in your signature
EDIT:
OK I double checked and no, not everything is ok!
now when I connect my device to my PC as MTP and open it, I see that on my computer the Internal Storage is the MicroSD and the External Storage is the actual internal Memory of my device!!!!!
I'm tired of it... grrrrrr... dono what to do now...

[Q] can't create new folder in external sdcard

Hi,
I bought a z2 yesterday. formatted my old 16gb microsdcard to use in my z2. I can see the folders and the phone can read my card. So i tried to download a file directly to my external card but it showed me a error lik "no valdi folder" or something like that. After i tried to create a new folder in my card using a file explorer but it gives me a error "operation stopped". Any idea why and any solution?

On Android KitKat applications aren't allowed to modify the files on the SDcard. They are only allowed to place files in their own folders on the SDcard (/SDCard/Android/data/app_name if I remember correctly).
You can fix this only by gaining root access and modifying build.prop.

So this means i cant save any file to my external sdcard?
rooting wouldnt be a problem.. but editing the build prompt..?

Uch, I was wrong about the build.pro. Actually you need to modify "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml".
Here is some reference:
http://jrummy-apps.com/fix-sdcard-on-kitkat/
Root access is essential.
You can create a folder if you use the file explorer that came pre installed on the z2, all downloads go to internal storage but can be moved to sd card with 'file commander' this is the only app that can create and move folders to the sd card, apps such as astro and es explorer no longer have the permission.
Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but PocketCast can download and save the files to SD card without any problem. So, if this one can...
Yes PocketCast CAN write to the SD card, but only in its own folder, not everywhere. And it could write to a public folder (there are some defined in the Android SDK).
See Jackos post above...
Only software that is installed as system software may modify the files on the SDcard outside their personal folder. For example the build-in file manager.
File Commander (The built in file manager) is able to read and write to external SD. Use it instead of any other third party file manager app.

External memory card undetected

Hi guys,
My external memory card has all of a sudden become undetectable. Inside root explorer it appears as a file and not a folder. When i try to see its permissions it is set to read only. I changed it to read write but still its not detectable. Moreover it changes to read only on every reboot.
I was on Resurrection Rom v 5.10 so i updated to v5.14 with full wipe. Still the issue remains.
I have searched on google and it appears to be something related to kitkat. I tried a few solutions like running 3rd party media scanners or editing the permission.xml but all in vain
I tried installing other kitkat roms like Neat Rom v5.8 ..now i can see the extSdCard as folder but when i open it its blank...Moreover i can see the permissions set as rwxrwxrwx in root explorer,but if i manually go to set permission for the folder it gives a popup saying "extSdCard permission cannot be set because the file system is read only"
I tried installing stock JB rom via odin but still it didnt help ..
If i try to mount external Sd card from cwm it gives error saying"Can't Mount "
Note: I tried 3 different SD cards and all went undetected where as they were detectable on other phones.
Need help guys.
Attaching few screenshots for better understanding
If you are unable to read the card's data then consider it lost. Connect it to your PC in USB mass storage mode, it should appear as a drive. If you can read the data, take a backup else leave it. Now format your external card using windows.
It should fix the issue for you.
