Hi XDA,
I bought a viewpad 10e about 2 months ago, it's fully rooted with Play store (Chelpus' in fact)
It's been working okay, but before I actually rooted it, I kept getting random reboots of the device.
I restored to factory settings and then 2 days later, it said "SD card is unmounted or not present"
I don't really feel like factory resetting again.
It's still under warranty, except I voided it by rooting.. If I unroot it, will it go by unnoticed? Or will the suppliers whom I bought it from know it's previously been rooted?
I am thinking of just opening the back up and repairing the internal SD, (If I can get into the damn device)
I've searched all over the internet for a repairs guide, apparantly the back just lifts off but I'm not seeing it.
I'm scared if I put too much pressure onto it, the back will break.
I've gave it some leverage but I'm worried.
What should I do guys?
Also, my Linux system and Windows system aren't detecting mounts of tablet.
Thanks!

I've read upon the DAMAGED SD CARD problem with android, but most of the phone becomes virtually unusable, mine says it's damaged but market works, and I can install apps to phone memory, even with APPS2SD enabled. If I try and copy my files to the computer, it stops halfway with 'perimeter incorrect', glad I did a backup like 1 week ago. Funny thing is, in recovery the SD card is fine, I can make backups, I even tried to repair SD Ext Partition, no luck.
Its probably Android thinking it's damaged without it really being so. Totally confused since I warning/error is on the ongoing notification. Also when I go into the SD card & phone storage shows information as unavailable and SD information widgets can't read it either. I don't mind formatting and copying everything over, but it kinda works, but android thinks it's corrupted or something. Very weird. Also I did nothing out of the ordinary, but with computers or machines random errors can occur. I had the partition in place for a 3 weeks now, installed MCR 3.1 couple of weeks ago and using it pretty much like this, but since the WIFI hanged (kept saying it's turning off but being stuck) I rebooted and the message came up.
Is it possible to fix it how it is? Or shall I just re-format and copy everything again. I'm just worried it may happen again.
A friend told me he would sell me his galaxy tab and that he had recently done a factory reset (not from system recovery but within the OS) and it had booted up once since then. When we tried to power it on the battery was dead and so we charged it a little. It then kept getting stuck on the "verizon wireless" screen and would not load. This was with an external sd card inserted.
I told him I'd buy it if I could figure out how to fix it and he took out the sd card because he wasn't sure if he had "left anything on it". So I went home without a sd card and did some research. Figured out how to get into system recovery and tried to wipe it. I ended up with this screen below.
I asked a friend who has had android devices and he directed me to the restore directions using Heimdall.
Spent hours getting that to work, but I'm still getting the same errors and no loading. What do I need to do to have a tablet that works like a factory device. And yes, I've already spent hours searching and googling but I don't want to do anything to further screw it up.
Is it as simple as the external sd card that was removed?
So I've got a strange problem with my phone. Sometimes after I snap a picture the phone freezes and reboots and the pic I took is corrupt (saving to phone storage). More interesting is that my microSD somehow decided it was going to corrupt and be unusable as well. I noticed this after trying to take pix and they would all be corrupted when saving to SD.
Anyone ever seen this before? Going to try a factory reset today and see if that solves any problems.
Running stock rooted ROM.
More info about your device like is it
Unlocked?
Custom recovery?
Rooted?
S-OFF?
ROM if at all?
Was the sdcard you inserted new or did you use your device to format it.did you select the option to save to the external sdcard .
I think after doing a factory reset you should format the sdcard with the device and than use "SD fixer" from the play store if rooted and give it a go again.this is all with no info about your device specifics
Stock rooted ROM. Clockwork Mod. Not unlocked.
The SD card came out of my Note 3 which I had been using fine for about a year and it never had a problem. In fact it seemed to work fine in the M8 for a couple of weeks. Card can be read from but not written too either by the phone nor a computer. It will no longer format either. I've tried formatting in computer and in phone as well, no dice.
After that all started happening I switched my camera back to saving yo internal memory. That's when my phone would start locking up and rebooting randomly when I would take a pic. Doesn't happen all of the time just randomly. When it does happen and the phone comes back up the pic shows up in the gallery as corrupt.
Just did a factory reset last night and bought a new card. So far so good.
Nice to know all is good now
Will report back if problem reoccurs and especially if the new SD card somehow gets corrupted beyond repair again.
Can my phones memory be completely wiped back to factory? I'm not well educated in such things & I download apps I'm not satisfied with continually. I've had the phone for almost a year now & reset it for the first time recently. The phone was rooted, a friend of mine did it for me but I can't get it to root again. My SD card is messed up as well. It shows that it has plenty of space left yet when I try to move an app it says there isn't room. I've even tried erasing the card but to no avail. I'm lost, help!e

If your phone was actually rooted it's the first one anybody has heard of. There's another thread on xda about trying to root the maven ( cant figure out how to post the link here) if you could get your friend to post how it was done soooo many people would grateful because right now there's no known permanent root method.
Yesterday night, after experiencing a hard crash, I found myself with a softbricked 2016 Samsung Galaxy Tab A.
Earlier today, while attempting to get it working again, I did a factory reset and a firmware flash in that order. Yes, in retrospect, I could have saved a lot of trouble if I hadn't done that factory reset, but hindsight is 20/20 and I'd never dealt with an android issue like this.
Anyway, I got the tablet working again, but I've lost all my data, and worse, since my SD card was encrypted, I have no access to the files on there either. I figure the data on the internal storage is as good as gone, but just in case, I've kept the tablet off since then.
Is there any way I could potentially extract the encryption key from the memory of the main tablet, and use it to decrypt my SD card? The majority of my files were on there, and while I'm fine losing most of the stuff on the tablet itself, I'd really like to salvage the SD card. It has about 10 gigs worth of pictures and videos on it.
