Hello
I installed JB 4.1.2. After that there are problems with writing to sd card / phone memory.
Different apps give different error messages. They say that memory is full and suggest to delete something or storage full or unavailable.
Memory is not full there is 10 GB free room.
I connected phone to PC and tried to copy file to SD card and phone memory. It failed without error message in both cases - it just keep copying...
I can delete files from SD card. I can't delete files through PC from phone memory: "Cannot delete filename: The storage is write-protected. Remove the write-protection and try again."
I used SD card in PC with sd card adapter - it worked perfectly.
I tried ROM Manager -> Fix permissions. It gave error message "An error occured while attemting to run privileged commands!"
Can anyone help to fix the problem?
How did you upgrade to jelly bean? If you flashed using a Custom Recovery, then you could boot back into it and look for the Fix Permissions option.
If you used Odin, you could flash a custom recovery and run fix permissions or wait for someone who knows more about this.

Managed to boot into CWM recovery and fix permissions but it didn't help.
Fixing permissions in CWM recovery didn't gave any error messages. ROM Manager -> fix permissions still gives error message.
Seems like some app/process/etc is blocking the sd card.
If I boot up the phone then I can access for example Dropbox files. At some moment (after ca 3 minutes) it fails to retrieve files anymore and sais "storage full or unavailable".
Still looking for help to solve the problem.
Saying "I flashed JB 4.1.2" means absolutely nothing, nada, zip, ziltch. We have MANY roms that are JB 4.1.2. When informing people of what rom/kernel you're using you need to be specific.
In any even it sounds like you have corrupted your internal memory. Try formatting internal sd/emmc in cwm. Once done re-flash rom.
If that doesn't work you will need to find pit file for your specific sgs2 model (which you also failed to mention).
re-flash & wipe.

Hi there,
Have you solve the storage problem? i'm having a similar issue, I can access the internal storage and the SD Card correctly, but some time after powering on (some times as low as one hour, and some times as high as one day) there is a message telling me that I cannot save anything to my internal storage, and from the view in ES Explorer, the write permissions over /sdcard are changed to read-only.
After rebooting the phone I can write again, and then from nowhere the problem appears again.
I've tried reflashing, wiping, removing the SDCard, not installing apps, but the problem continues.
I'm on the Stock JB ROM (XWLS8).
Anybody is seeing something similar?
Thanks!

My solution was wipe and reinstall. So far, so good - it works now.
Hello,
Recently, I have followed a tutorial to root Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 within 2.3.6. But, it wasn't precise and I have tried within 4.1.2. Device didn't boot, it stayed on SAMSUNG logo. I have could "reinstall" 4.1.2 and the mobile run correctly. But, after "reinstall", device didn't have access to internal SD card and it said "Space short (0bytes)". Whenever I launched a software (example camera), it said "Please disconnect mass storage" but device wasn't connect to something... I have an external SD card, the mobile see her and her capacity (example 2,2Go/4Go) but I haven't access too.
When I connect my phone to the computer, it sees external SD card and know play her contents. Computer sees internal SD card but not her contents and her storage capacity is -15045154 bytes...
I think, may be, ways to access sdcard0 and external SD card have been change in device.
I hope to find a solution to recover my files without reset and all lose, you are my last hope.
Best regards.
Hum, anyone an idea ?
how did you root your device? what options/commands did you execute? Maybe you've accidentally messed with the memblocks or something. Have you tried formatting your internal sd through your phone?
On tutorial, I had to put "update_su_I8160.zip" on my SD card (internal or external, it wasn't precise). So, I have her place to internal SD card. Then, reboot in download mode. I launched Odin, connected my phone to computer, put "I8160XXLD8_ready_to_root_ANT.tar.md5" in PDA, "Start". After this, phone has been reboot and lock on SAMSUNG logo. Then I had "reinstall" Jelly Bean.
I didn't formate internal SD, all will be lost.
Try to root your phone using this one:

And always put your flash files to your external sdcard, it's much safer that way.
Ok, external SD card, I don't forget.
Root is success. But, I I thought that uninstall applications imposed for example but I cannot...
So, the root didn't have change for my problem.
I thank you anyway to the solution to root !

Did you regain access to your internal sdcard my friend?
As you can see, the link that I gave you shows how to root ace 2 on GB (2.3.6) and JB (4.1.2). Hence, different android versions, had different ways of rooting. So if you flash GB and used the JB method of rooting, that may definitely cause some issues. That's what I seem to understand with regards to your prost, so please correct me if i'm wrong.
What do you mean by, "But, I thought that uninstall applications imposed for example but I cannot..."? Kindly elaborate.
Uninstalling applications is easy once the device is rooted. Did you have access to your phone after rooting to 2.3.6, or it just got stuck at boot logo on first boot?
Yes, two ways to root GB and JB. I had use GB root method on JB system and I didn't have access to my phone, only lock on boot logo.
For uninstall applications, there is a method in particular ? Or just Settings -> Applications -> Samsung Apps (I hate) -> Uninstall ?
To finish, I don't have access to internal SD card, again :/

That may have caused the problem, the way you root the phone. You should've used JB way of rooting JB and vice-versa. There are many ways to uninstall system apps, one way is via rootexplorer (needs root access), and delete apk's on 'system/app' folder. Or much more easier way is to use Root Uninstaller. Just be careful on deleting system apps. Some of them are necessary for the device to run, and by deleting those apps may cause bootloop or might get stuck at boot logo. But first, you need to fix your phone. Try reflashing ROM and proceed to the proper rooting process as per version. Goodluck!

Hope you'll be able to fix your phone soon. Keep me posted.
I reading your link but I had see "The Solution is fairly straight forward, However It's not a repair and it is not possible to recover any data from the Internal memory."
If I not can recover data, I can do a reset :/

I just hope that yours was not a case of sdcard corruption. 'cause that link's topic was about corrupted internal sd. Try to flash the last working ROM that you had use, wherein the internal sd used to be detected.
Ah ok.
Jelly Bean is my last ROM (stock firmware by SAMSUNG) and it was reinstall correctly (after the "fail" with root GB on JB). But, nothing changes :/
I see (in recovery mode, Odin) "Leave CS...". What is this ?
Ok, it's the end...
I had try to reinstall stock firmware (the same that my phone) but I had obtain an error and now on boot my phone, I have "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I had try to launch "urgency restore", a full reset, but I had obtain a Korean message
So, it's a disaster.
Now, if it's possible, I want to reset my phone, I want to work. If not possible, go to after sales service...
I hate SAMSUNG, performances restricts , useless applications installed... to have to root the phone... AND FAIL.............
clean sdcard then use.
2 month ,i have had same problem

Sad to hear that buddy. If it's under warranty, you can try to send it to service center -but rooting voids the warranty- so i guess it'll be out of the option, unless you can revert to stock recovery. It's really hard to deal with hardware once it wears out.
The warranty wasn't SAMSUNG, I forgot
I have a luck, may be. Normally, they will go trade, or repair.
I abreast you. Topic will be closed soon probably.
I think my files in internal SD card are irrecoverable now. It's unfortunate.
I learned this week, SAMSUNG sucks for low cost offers. I think buy Nexus next time, so much less changes on Android (I hope).
Sir I have lenovo a6000 when I insert SD card it show 0bytes but show SD card and I cannot access it.
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.
Hello everyone,
i'm facing a really heavy problem with my Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. Since i wanted to change the internal with the external storage, i found out that there is the option to replace the original "vold.fstab". At this time i had root access of course. Everything worked fine at this moment, until i decided to do a factory reset, including delete USB storage (which was the fake internal storage now, because it switched). To make things even more difficult, i deinstalled the root access. The phone still works fine, but i completely lost access to my 32GB sd card and can't download anything anymore. My phone keeps saying "Couldn't download...".
I'm not the biggest smartphone genius, but i already tried a few things.
1. I've tried to use Odin, to flash the original firmware. But i was unable to get a connection in download mode.
2. I tried to replace the modded "vold.fstab" with the original one. But it's not possible without root access.
3. I tried Kango Root. Not working.
I appreciate any help i can get. Thanks in advance!
