Hi all, I need some help with my Folio 100. I have installed V1.3b FolioMod on my tablet and apparently everything works OK, all the applications work fine, Wifi is Ok........ but I've noticed that have stopped responding both SDcard slot as the USB port. I tried by all means go back to the stock mod but no way to do it since it seems not to find the SD.
In addition, reviewing the tablet with the file manager seems to be nothing in the internal storage (or folders or files). I´ve tried to connect with my computer using the mini usb port but I can´t.
Could anyone help me to recover my Folio????
Thanks and sorry for my english but It´s rusty
Try removing the battery for at least 5 minutes or so.
Hi Nemo0815, thanks for your response. I have removed the battery for half an hour and no change has happended.
Cheking the Folio in the device storage settings I have found that the total space in the internal storage is 0.00B and I don´t know where is the storage space.
Regards.
this happened once for me too, i just removed the battery, waited 30secs while holding power button down, so i could drain it for all remaining power..
inserted battery and all was ok, and usb was working again.
looks like he's having the filesystem-not-mounting bug.
Hi Dexter_nlb, I have tried your suggestion and the problem is still there.
I´m thinking if the problem could be in relation with the missing storage capacity.
Thanks.
pasting from first post of foliomod thread:
V0.0+ Generic format internal storage for all mods (so far) here, only needed if you got internal storage problems.
Rename downloaded patch to update.zip and install using recovery.
see if that one helps.
uh.. silly me... you have no way of getting it on there :S
you could try to remount using ADB, but i have no clue on how.. it should be somewhere in the foliomod-thread though.
Hi kepler1982, problem is the Sdcard slot don´t work.
Thanks

you can always reach it with adb and a folioMod installed, through recovery..
so if you can install adb (android sdk tools) + the proper driver, you can at least login and see what is wrong..
but if a sdcard slot is not working at all, that can also be your sdcard not supported, many others has the "16GB" problem using NTFS formatted cards.
make sure the sdcard is fat32 formatted, make sure you put a "update.zip" in the root, when recovery should try and find it..
Hi kepler and Dexter. I´m installing SDV but I never used it before. Some help with this tool are welcomed.
Thanks

Hi, I had this problem once and I solved it like this :
1. Extract SD card.
2. Wipe your device, with the blue screen etc
3. Then install FolioMod 1.3d
For me it works, but yes i know all your data will be gone after this...
By the way, thank so much to you Dexter who transform my Folio in a great device. Keep going on !
Same problem
Hi, I have the same proble and symtoms are:
· No sdcard (neither internal nor external). In this state, update fails, because external SD card can't be reached. I've tried FolioMod13d, FolioStock and File system format, but they fail.
· Tablet sometimes starts, but you can't do anything, because neither internal storage is not available, nor external.
· Cannot reach tablet through ADB, because USB link cannot be stablished.
· Have tried extracting battery, pushing on/off button, internal "reset" pin point, putting a piece of paper, tighting screws... no result
· Sometimes, when starting, starts vibrating and keeps all time like that, untill you stop the device.
· And sometimes, tablet even doesn't start, you get only black screen. Other times, you got start screen, but flashing "Android" does not appear.
All things had been tryed on full battery and low battery. Non starting problem appears often when low battery.
Sugestions?
I have to say that your Folio seems to be be very capricious, I never had so much problem with mine.
If you can't switch it on and if it's still cover by warranty try to bring it back to your seller.
Sorry to be unable to help you...
My Tablet (Hyundai A7HD) with CM9 (unofficial) started behaving very strange.
It doesnt recognize my sd card, nor its own internal nand storage anymore. (Apps from Google Play can still be installed on its App partition tho)
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 already made a post about this (more than a month ago) where someone advised me to use ADB. But that doesnt work, so i installed Connectbot, which works.
The person who told me to install it back then stopped replying, and even after posting in that thread to keep it alive, i recieved no more replies. So maybe with this new thread someone might be able to help me.
I am grateful for any help you can offer.

Im not sure it actually is hardware, since the app-space should only be a partition of the NAND storage. If this partition works, i think the hardware should be fine.
does factory default work ?do it,May fix the software reason.if no effect,send it to factory and fix it:what:this might the last measure you can do.

Factory reset and normal firmware update dont work anymore because cm9 is installed.
Tablet is from china, so no warranty.
i find many people had Chinese device,honesty,i was a college student from China.and i wish i can help anyone who has problem about Chinese device ,app,....language translation....but seems i couldnt help you this time＠_＠the hardware should be in trouble

I still think its only a software issue, to be honest.
I think this might just be fixable.
I also think so,i searched your device in Chinese page but failed to find any useful info for your problem,sorry

Still, i thank you very much!
Maybe someone else has any idea how to make this work again!
i sure hope so...
EDIT: I finally managed to flash it back to stock!
Apparently my anti-virus program prevented Livesuit from flashing it!
Now everything works beautifully again!
Im so happy right now ; )
Hey Guys!
Prologue
I have a complex problem with my beloved Vibrant. First of all, I got it for Christmas a year ago. It had no issues, with a stock 2.1 (and after a kies update 2.2) firmware, it was fun for a first droid. After digging myself into the world of droids, I decided to root my baby, and put CM on it. It was about a month ago; I saw that there is a stable cm10 for the Vibrant. There were minor problems (could not exit cm recovery and boot the phone normally) with doing it, but at the end, it worked flawlessly.
Problems
Unfortunately, a few days ago, my phone started to have problems like "Trebuchet stopped working" and similar error messages appeared on screen. Yesterday my Vibrant stopped working. The only thing it could do was when I turned on, it showed cm recovery. I chose to reboot the phone, but again, recovery mode came up.
- Now, I use a stock 2.2 (Eugene's) but with this, I cant really use my Vibrant, except for calls and sms.
- Odin cant see my phone.
- I cant revert it to normal stock firmware
- When trying to put a cm10 to it, reboots into recovery it says: cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1
What I did
First of all, a lot of research. Really, a lot, but I suppose not enough, because I cant repair my phone.
- I tried to revert to stock (using AIO Vibrant toolbox). I put Cmenard's kernel (with cm recovery, as described in the official cm wiki howto) onto the phone, since then Odin cant see my phone.
- I have Heimdall, adb shell installed on windows, so tried some lines to revert the Vibrant to normal, no success
- Rooted with superoneclick, so I have root, and su.
Summary
My suspicion is that the internal SD card is corrupted. Anyhow, I tried to use parted, but cannot format my internal SD card. I found solutions that may help, but unfortunately I have no exterior SD card, to make those steps.
Any help would be highly appreciated, as I am starting to lose my mind, and I do not really have a backup phone (will definitely buy in January).
In the top of that, today is my birthday.
Greetings to all,
Dan

Yes, download mode is ok, 2 volume buttons pressed, then plug in the usb cable. Before the new kernel was put on, I used the same method and eg was okay with Odin, thats how I put on Eugene's mod as well.
No, (unfortunately) I use windows 7. Or do you mean, I should use ubuntu?

First and foremost, happy belated birthday. It's a shame this had to happen on your birthday... Especially since I have some rather bad news. In your post--which, by the way, was very well written--you mentioned getting the error "cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1" while in recovery. This is a pretty bad sign. More than likely, one of two things happened. Either you obtained the Encryption Unsuccessful bug or your internal SD card outright crashed. Either way you're going to need to purchase an external SD card if you wish to continue using your phone. No way around it bud, sorry.
I had the EU bug hit my device a month or two ago, and had to purchase an external SD card as a result. After partitioning the new SD card and tweaking the phone to run off of it, my phone runs great... But switching back to stock/installing a new ROM can be a tricky process...
Good luck. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Yes, I meant use ubuntu, but N00B in N33D i think has the right answer, i overlooked the "can't mount" part of the post. Sorry about all of that happening on your birthday:/

Thank you very much for the answer and the kind words. I will get an SD card then, I will need it later on anyway I guess. I will try this method you linked, and going to post about what happened (but not in the near future, Christmas is coming).
Good news, your phone runs great now after those things, it means I have a little chance at least. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks again, the best wishes for the holiday season!

Hey Guys.
Lately, I bought an sd card (class10, 16GB) and tried to breathe life into my Vibrant. Used this method (except the fact, that I used cm10):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123
Actually this worked.
Before that, I figured out, that Odin couldn't see my device because of some driver errors Heimdall caused. (Or Heimdall/zadig installed some other drivers, to be more precise.)
So after reinstalling those drivers from Vibrant AIO Toolbox, I used that method.
But.
The final step, where you edit the vold.stab file, those two lines are swapped for me. Anyhow I tried to edit both ways (as written originally in the post, and tried to swap the lines) but unfortunately after editing, saving the file, and rebooting, the phone just stays at the animated cyanogenmod logo. Nothing happens. Really, I waited an hour or so, still nothing. Tried to reinstall everything, clear cache, dalvik, then phone reboots again normally to cm10, but as mentioned in the post, camera does not work.
Any thoughts would be helpful here.
EDIT:
That post says it should be this after editing:
#internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
#external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
and my file contains this originally:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
So it would be great to edit these two lines correctly.
Bump. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the last and only problem with my phone, and it doesn't look like it's an unbeatable problem.

Thank you very much! Wow, this worked like a charm! One zillion thanks!
Hopefully this thread will help out many Vibrant users experiencing problems like this one was. Thank you all once again.
Hi guys.
Since then, I have flashed the CyanAOSP 2.9.0 ROM into my beloved vibrant, new kernel (gearkernel universal 1.1.2) and everything works fine, 4.4 is flawless in this device as well,
however
I am now facing some problems again, as the system cannot access the sdcard part, so with rootbrowser I can edit files and anything else, but camera, music player and gallery is not working.
I am thinking of a vold.fstab editing, but as 4.4 has this no more, I am stuck at this point. Any ideas of how and what to edit? Tried build.prop, no success so far. In CWM I can see that the sdcard is not mounted. Mounting it also did not help either.
Edit: I would think, editing the fstab.aries would be the key in this process, but I cannot really tell which part needs to be edited.
I´ve rooted my Sola, installed CWM (touch 5.5.0.4), cleared cache, data, etc. but when I started to installa zip I found that CWM would no longer see my external SD card. It did see the ext_sd one time, but no longer. I have tried two different cards, both FAT32. I can´t even start android normally any longer, it just goes into a bootloop so I can´t just go and put the files on the internal storage.
Please someone help me, either tell me how I can use a computer to access the internal storage on the Sola without having to turn it on (then I can just put the files into the internal memory and install from there)... OR
tell me how I can get CWM to recognise my external SD cards.
Spent my whole day off on this, getting very desperate. Also it seems like my phone wont even charge anymore (can you charge whilst just in CWM?) and I´m down to 19% so I´m doubly desperate.
Thanks in advance.
OK, I half fixed it, I had enough battery to use flashtool to reinstall the generic ftf, but I´m still stuck on how to use the ext_sd.
Well in the end I managed to install what I wanted, but warning to others, if you are using the CWM in the Sola forum it does not seem to work with the external SD card, well not for me anyway. So put all your zips on the internal memory. Then it works fine.
BTW. Gingerbean is awesome, so silky fast and smooth. I was so disappointed in my update to stock ICS: constant hanging, crashing, dropped calls. Now I´ve been running Gingerbean for a week now (thanks again Diego910) and it´s stable, fast, calls don´t hang, everything works (wifi did not work on the first install, but on the second install it did), battery is better.... I haven´t tried any of the custom ICS builds so I can´t give a fair comparison, but I don´t need to try them now as GB is fast enough for everything I want. Install instructions are a bit vague though.
To who you talking ?
No one is responding here and you talk to yourself .. Lol
Kinda useless, or you just make this thread to get 10 posts.

Talking with you now init, lol.
not really interested in getting ten posts. but did want to share what I learnt from installing a new rom on my phone, maybe it helps someone else and they don´t have to spend as many frustrated hours as I did installing the damn thing. It probably seems very easy to you as you look like an expert on this matter, but when you are a new it is really complicated and time consuming as there is all this new terminology (flashtool/cwm, root/bootloader unlocking, ftf/zip. kernel/rom/???, etc), a million different ways of doing the same thing, lots instructions from different people that often contradict each other and the ever possible chance of bricking your phone. So if what I wrote in a minute saves someone a few hours, then it´s not pointless to me.
Hello, I'm new to XDA and would appreciate some help for an issue I'm having with my phone, I have a Blu Studio 5.0S in which I flashed a custom ROM based on MIUI v5 with Jelly Bean, my phone had a stock Jelly Bean ROM, I don't know if I'm doing the flashing steps right because I am wiping Data, Cache and Dalvik Cache only, even tho, I wiped System too once and the issue persists.
My phone has 4GB storage in 2 partitions, one for the system and the second one is used as SD when there's no SD in, but if I do put an SD in, that second partiton stops working as SD (If I had Apps installed in it, they won't work), and is mounted as "USB Storage/Internal SD", now, that's the normal way it is supposed to work, but when I flashed the custom ROM, MIUI keeps detecting my SD as Phone Storage (The second partition that is useless for installing apps in it) and detects the second partition as Phone Storage, What I want is to keep the MIUI based ROM but having my storage in the right order, otherwise I have a 32GB SD useless and a phone running out of space for my apps. I did not find any help in the threads and I'd really appreciate if someone can help me to solve this problem, sorry if my english is not that clear and thanks in advance.
You won't find much MIUI help here. Not many people really use it and the only ones that work on it are porters.

To be honest Where ever you got the rom from. As the MIUI developers sont deal with bug reports that come from non Xiaomi devices, it is closed source so cant really do a whole lot other wise.

That's what I did, posting the question in the thread from where I got the ROM, just afraid none's gonna reply since the one guy who was dealing with this stuff doesn't own such devide now and stopped testing stuff, I just thought if the problem has something to do with the kind of partitions in one and other system someone would guide me to look for a way to solve my problem by myself.
Thanks a lot Mr. Zelendel, a hug from Colombia!
So... I just found out that this ROM had an App (In mandarin chinese) to switch the Internal Storage and External Storage (SDCard0- SDCard1), and that's one of the first Apps I was uninstalling every time I flashed, I have no idea if this is an App made by Xiaomi or the porter of this

did something about it, but now I can say this ROM is perfect and works very smoothly on my device.
