I need a help,
I installed cm10.1. had problem with flashdisk adapter (cant mount external usb drive), so i back to ics
the problem now is, the /sdcard folder-name had changed into /Root
it should not be a problem until I managed to root it, only /sdcard folder known by system, so I cant install root
it might have another problems in the future
what should I do ?
Ok, i really need a help here
so, I installed cm10.1,
i flashed recovery.tar.md5, bootloader and the ROM
everything is ok except USB connection (at that time, i didnt know about check-box mtp connection), so i managed to back to ICS
i flashed older recovery.tar.mds which i have in the same folder as my ics rom (this is my big mistake), i was thinking that recovery and rom are pair. I dont know if i flash ics rom, it also have recovery inside it. after i flashed recovery.tar.md5, the folder /sdcard is not recognized by cmw although it is there. then everything is going wrong, it cant access /sdcard/Android/obb file (some games need to download to this folder and it always failed, even if i copied manually to obb folder, still cant)
what i need is, how to fix the /sdcard folder, it is there, it just dont recognized by system
and now im back to cm10.1 again, the folder /sdcard doesnt have 0 folder, i tried to make a 0 folder but it doesnt help
now i cant install anything that need /sdcard/Android/obb
how can i flash / format / reinstall everything just like a new one ?
sorry about my poor english
Maybe you should start all over again by using odin to flash back to official ICS. You will lose root, but then some of those things may be corrected and when you are sure everything is working well, you can then root again before attempting the cm 10.1.
Best of luck.

I did flash ICS stock rom, even with stock honeycomb none is work
i have a feeling its just about a syntax like mount /mnt/sdcard /sdcard or something like that
i just dont know what to modify and where is the script's located
i dont understand ubuntu, im just a beginner linux user
poor me
Alright, starting here in this thread you can see what I've tried to fix this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43218631#post43218631
My internal sdcard has been wiped and is no longer available in CWM or the OS. Have tried multiple ftf flashes from stock 2.1, 2.3 and CM10 but no luck. If I have an external sdcard in the phone while flashing it uses that as the internal space, but it's not seeing the flash memory that should be available in the actual device.
Everything works 'fine' without that space available, just that file explorers can't see it, camera can't take pictures, about what you may expect.
Anybody experience anything similar?
Been around Android a long time now and quite familiar with the ins-and-outs but this has me stumped.
Thanks!

It's definitely not just a ROM install issue as I've tried 3 or 4 different ones now and they don't fix the underlying issue.
Need to properly repartition my internal sdcard so it's visible to recovery/Android.

jaja ok Senior Member All as you said (Y)
I tried another ROM and kernel, no luck.
Anybody else have any thoughts/suggestions?
Please please
Please, anybody else have any input?
Stuck in the mud here... :-\
Hi there, if been wondering the same things and i almost sure how it works and that particular service is set from the services in one of the .rc files but we doesnt seem to have it.
Its about a binary and needs to be set from the kernels ramdisk.
This is what i found so far on info about it.
the /system/bin/sdcard binary, which mounts the /data/media folder at /mnt/sdcard and does some magic with the user/group ids. from one of the
/init.????.rc files.
This i saw in another devices .rc file.
# create virtual SD card at /mnt/sdcard, based on the /data/media directory
# deamon will drop to user/group system/media_rw after initializing
# underlying files in /data/media wil be created with user and group media_rw (1023)
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard /data/media 1023 1023
class late_start
If i have some time i will try to set that services in x10i ramdisk with kernel to see if that will work.

Not really following that, what are you suggesting I try?
Simply a new kernel or something else?

I am sorry it still not 100% clear to me.
But you need a new ramdisk inside the kernel.
And the framework-res.apk storage-list.xml needs also to be edited and recovery.fstab and vold.fstab.
And a file which we dont have some devices have it and i got it from Google search.
Its a file named "vold.conf".
I did these mods and cwm recovery is acting weird crying about log but some new options apeared and roms stil boots.
Here are few pictures of it with my gtn-n7000.

Hello,
I installed last week this version of android on my G9, all was fine until today when my tablet ran out of battery, I plugged it and start it again as I always do in that case. Except that today android didn't start and I got the multiboot screen which you can see in attached files. I tried both options but my tablet always restart on that screen.
When my tablet is plugged into my computer it is not recognized so I can't put a new ROM of android and make a new installation, I tried to use ADB to debug it but there are no device detected ...
Does someone have a solution to my problem ?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

PS: sorry if there are language mistakes in what I wrote but i'm French so English is not my birth language.
You have 2 options right now. You can either just install stock ROM, or if you have Linux in you computer you can use sde to mount data partition to your PC and moving the ROM again in there.
Installing stock ROM is easier and faster, so I recommend doing that. You remember how it goes? Download latest firmware from achos' site an use firmware update option located in sde.

I think I already tried that : download the aos file from the official site of archos, go in recovery mode, chose upgrade firmware and copy the aos file to the drive which appears on my computer then chose ok ???
If it is that I tried and I got an error message "update failled : 221".
So if it is that could you explain me more how to do it with linux, i'm not sure I understood everything.

Okay.
That 221 sounds weird.
After booting in to Linux (livecd is sufficient, I recommend Ubuntu or variant of it), open the sde in archos and navigate to data mount option. I can't remember what it is called, but should be something like mount data partition. Then plug your tablet to PC running Linux, and the PC should find the tablet.
You should now be able to browse data on /data partition of the tablet, but writing there requires you to use superuser.
Check the path to data partition. If I remember correctly, it will be something like /media/(device name)/ but I'm not sure.
Navigate to archos.etx4.update file and use this command to move it:
sudo mv archos.ext4.update path-to-data/media/archos.ext4
If /media/path-to-data/media won't work, try using /media/path-to-data/local

I don't have mount data partition but I do have "export data partition" and "export hard disk (H models only)" in the developer edition menu, is it what you are talking about ?

When I plugged my tablet, ubuntu told that I do not have the authorisation to see the content of the drive ...
Can't I do the same with windows ?

HMM.. That sounds weird, as I do not have that problem. Can you try other Linux? I think backtrack allows you to login as root, so you are able to do anything...
The filesystem of data partition is ext4 I guess... Or ext3. Windows can not read ext filesystem, so you can't use windows.

Ok I'll try an other version of linux, backtrack is downloading as i'm writing this. I'll get back to you soon.
Hi julle131, I'm currently using backtrack which as you told allows me without problems to access the data on the tablet.
I'm a little bit lost about what's next to do.
The tablet appears as a drive called "data" in which there a is folder called media as you said, inside it there are a lot of folders for various apps I had installed. If I understood correctly the goal is to find the archos.ext4 file but I can't find it ...
Can I download the archos.ext4 file and put it again on the memory of my tablet to re-install it ?

Yes you can.
Hopefylly after downloading archos.ext4, your tablet will hopefully work normally again :thumbup:

So, I copied archos.ext4 to in the media folder of the tablet then in recovery mode, I flashed kernel and initramfs but after that my tablet don't reboot, it don't have the multi boot menu or anything and when I press the start button nothing happens I can only access the recovery menu. Do you have any idea ?

The initramfs you flashed probably does not have multiboot menu. Keep the zImage from the rom you downloaded and get initramfs from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1578438
when you download the zip, only extract the initramfs.
Then install zImage from the original rom and initramfs from the multiboot menu thread. That should bring the multiboot menu back, and hopefully you can see the new archos.ext4 in there.
I just tried : Kernel (zImage) not found !

What i meant was to take the zImage from the rom you downloaded and initramfs from my link, and install them both.
Make a new folder to the desktop, and extract initramfs from the link i gave you in earlier post.
Now you have a new folder with initramfs inside it. Then put the zImage from the rom you downloaded to the folder.
Now you should have a folder which has initramfs AND zImage, right? Then just install them to the tablet. This way you get the multiboot and the new kernel.
It's what I did.
I chose flash kernel and Initramfs in the recovery menu and I paste inside the ramdisk the initramfs from your link and the zImage from my ROM.
I tried both version of the initramfs from the link you gave me.
Any idea, please ?
I'm still stuck on the multi boot menu ...
Can someone help me please ?
I have tried a lot of custom Roms. I'm on Neat ROM Lite now. Not sure which ROM changed my file access permission settings to cause this problem but I'm not able to delete any files from my external memory card. I was able to delete when I was on stock rom. The other problem is for a few apps I get an error message which says can't install on usb/sd card. I have posted this in another thread
some time back but got no response. Some one please point me in the right direction.
This is what my file permission looks like.
PS: I am able to delete when my fone is connected to PC via USB. So I don't think it has anything to do with a faulty sd card.

download mobile terminal from playstore
Hey I know its been quite sometime now.but as ur advice I downloaded mobile terminal and now have to run the following command everytime I boot my fone:
mount -o rw,remount -t/yaffs2 /storage/extSdCard
Otherwise i do not get rw access to my external sd.Istn't there a permanent solution to this? Also I fail to understand what changed my permissions and why does this persist across all the new roms I flash?

Create a blank file and type that command in it. Now save it and rename it to 95mountsd with no extension
Now, if you have init.d support, place it in /system/etc/init.d and reboot
Command will run on every boot itself
Thank you, it worked. Now could please have a look at my other issue, in this post I'd be really thankful.
Can you please tell me what could be the reason for my default rw settings to change, coz I remember when I had stock os I never had to do all this.

Sorry, i'm not good at hardware stuff
Maybe the ROMs aren't mounting that special kind of partition your sdcard is having
FAT32 format works universally
yaffs2 may not
I'm not sure

Good afternoon. As the 8 GB aren't enough for me, I've been looking for a solution. While doing so, I found the INT2EXT4 script, which mounts /data on the second partition of the SD card. The first time I flashed it (after enabling init.d support with an app) it didn't work at all. Then, I realised this script is written assuming that the second partition of the card is mmcblk0p2. But on the M4, it's mmcblk1p2 (found it out with another app).
I changed those lines on the script, but it didn't work either. I analyzed all the lines, and I can't see where the problem could be. Has anyone tried this, or could somebody help me with this issue? I think it could be really useful for a lot of users.
Another thing: flashing the file through TWRP gave me an error, so I copied the file directly to /system/etc/init.d and set the permissions manually. I hope this is not a problem, but let me know if it could be...
sounds interesting... ill take a look at it soon!
Have you checked the "adress" of internal sd? In the script there is a connection between internal and external storage so i would assume that both "adresses" need to be correct in order for the script to work. Just an opinion....

I think there's a problem with the commands that the script uses. If I try to do umount from the terminal, nothing happens. So maybe the script doesn't work in this phone, but if any of you are able to make it do so, let me know. So I think it's better to build the kernel from source, but before that make changes in the fstab file. With that, /data will be mounted at the second partition of the sdcard directly at boot time. Trying to do this now, but I'm facing some difficulties building the kernel. If I make it work, I'll post it
