[Q] Sd-card mounting problem - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I am facing a problem with my external storage on my Samsung galaxy II.
The apps on my device can't find the external storage, so I can't download files to my external storage or use my camera. Altough, when I search for it in my explorer I find sd-card0 and sd-card1. Sd-card1 seems to be my external storage and I can simply open it and use my files. Sd-card0 on the other hand is not found.
My guess is that my apps try to use the sd-card0, the one that doesn't exist, for storage instead of storing on sd-card1.
This problem emerged after rooting the device and installing CM 10.2, at this point I am running the Slim_4.4.2 ROM but the storage problem isn't solved.
Does anyone know how I could fix this?

i recommend a clean reinstall ( including a thorough format of system data , cache , INT SD AS WELL AS EXTERNAL SD via cwm )

sdcard 0 is ur internal memory
sdcard1 is ur external storage
apps are stored on sdcard0 not sd card 1(since move to sd feature was remmoved after jb)
as the previous one recommended a clean wipe can solve this
the problem may be arised probably due some root app interfering with your stoage and made some files corrupt when you were rooting
if clean wipe doesnt work try flashing stock with pit file
Note:cm10.2 has problems with storage and wasnt stable for s2

Unable to install apps on Internal USB storage

Before when I move the installed apps using ap2sd or appmonster by default it used to move to the internal USB Storage(11GB) of Galaxy S2. I recently did a wipe re-flash of ROM and after that when I move the installed apps- by default its going to the external SD card I have installed which is 8GB. Now the internal storage is not used at all. Is there anyway I can fix this issue without going for another reflash? Any help is highly appreciated!

Nope it doesn't... That's exactly what the problem is... Unable to move apps to the internal USB (SD) memory... It looks for an external SD card instead and gives an error...

I think I'm having the same problem.
Only noticed it this morning when I tried to download a new app (existing update fine) and it failed, stating that it was unable to save to USB storage. I also can't mount USB storage in CWM recovery mode.
Did you or anyone else find a solution?
Well it appears that my internal storage is knackered.
Booted into CWM and tried to 'mount USB storage', but am greeted with 'E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory).
If factory reset and flashing a stock ROM is necessary, then I can do that. But, if the storage is inaccessible, am I even able to do that? Would opting to 'Erase USB Storage' in the settings>storage menu be of any use?
sameproblem here...
ok i solved the problem...
i write an Answer Threat
I had something similar when I installed a ROM with an older CWM. I lost my SD card but could access it from the PC. I copied a backup over to the internal memory and recovered.
how about just unmount the external SD card then try to install again?
Unable to move apps to internal usb storage
I am also facing the same issue.Somebody plz let me know any workaround for moving apps to Internal USB storage. Under settings>application manager> there is an option to move apps to external sd card only. Is it possible to install/move apps to internal usb storage (around 11.5 GB). Please help.
Phone - Galaxy s2 (At&t sgh i777)
ROM - Shostock3 rom (android 4.1.2)
I have mounted an external sd card and using link2sd to move apps to it. One thing I noticed that with sd card mounted, when I move apps to external sd card, some part of the app moves to the usb storage and also the app size increases after doing so. However, still there is no direct way of moving/installing apps to usb storage without an external sd card.

how to get apps to install on sdcard instead of internal memory

i have a rooted p769, my internal memory is almost full and i have a 8gig sdcard which is not even being used, i have tried every program out there to try to move apps to sdcard but nothing is working, is there a way i can somehow rename the internal sdcard to external memory and have the external sdcard renamed to internal memory so i can trick the phone into downloading and installing apps to it.
you have to install ext2sd.zip flash via cwm issue will be solve

[Q] Error mounting externalSD on CWM on SGSIII (i9300)

Hi,
Three weeks ago I had my SGSIII rooted and with a custom ROM and regular backup in the external SD card and everything was working OK.
I wanted to remove all the information form the internal memory and decided to format the internal memory, so using CWM (6.0.4.7) I made all the wipes and formatted:
/system
/cache
/preload
/data
I think that one of those formats was the source of the error, but I don't know which one!
Afterwards I tried to access the externalSD card from the restore menu to restore one of my NAND backups, but the extrenalSD card was not accessible (E: Can't mount /storage/sdcard1) neither from the install zip menu (same error). the SD card was OK because was workable in another phone. I tried to mount the external SD card from the mounts and storage menu but gave an error (Error mounting /storage/sdcard1!)
Since I could not restore my NAND backups, I restored the stock ROM (JB 4.3) using odin and afterwards I rooted the phone and install again CWM (6.0.4.7) but the problem persisted and now I am using the stock ROM and can access the external SD card from android normally.
I have looked about this error and all the cases I have found are using older versions of CWM and recommend to format the external SD card, so I did, but the problem persisted.
So my questions are:
- What have I done wrong?
- How can I fix it?
Afterwards I thought that I could copy the NAND backup from the external SD to the internal memory so I made NAND backup to see where it was stored, but using ultra explorer I cannot find the location (furthermore, according to the DiskUsage App the space is used but does not inform me where it is).
I have asked Google for the location of the backups in the internal memory (I can not recall such locations) but the folders did not exist or where empty. So:
- Is it possible to copy a backup from the external SD card into the internal memory?
- How can it be done?
Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for the lengthy post.

[Help!] SD-card not formatting

Hello Guys:good:
I'm using Resurrection Remix rom of Android 6.0.1 in my Samsung Galaxy Grand 2. In Android-6 as we know SD card will be mounted as either internal or portable but my usage is more I've used an 32GB SD-card but I can't leave whole lot memory either internal nor portable.So I used Apps2Sd app and made adoptable storage which can make two partitions one as internal and other as portable.
Last night I've got a message "No enough space in Sdcard" then I've migrated data from sdcard and tried to repart sdcard but there was no response from app. Even I've tried to format but its not working.
I've removed Sdcard and used PC to delete partitons and leave single partiton as in stock but Its not working.You can find the Screenshots:good: from pc during this process.
Thanks For Reading this whole lot
I think it's a problem with the Apps2Sd app

The old SD-Card Problem

Hi Forum,
I have the Xenon-Android installed and never got that sdcard problem solved.
I have that internal and external one (sdcard0 / sdcard1) and can't manage to get data to the external sd in Google Play as in Maps and so on.
Isn't it possible to just have internal memory and sdcard being the sdcard like on other phones.
Can I change some mounting or whatever and resize internal partition somehow.
I would install some other OS, is the backup / test phone anyway, nothing essential.
