Hi,
I have not long bought my first tablet - its an ly-f1 / alldro speed etc clone. It came with android 4.0.4 and was already rooted. Play store access isn't bad for standard, i have found most things i have looked for, although some say device is not compatible - for example the speedtest.net app and itv player. There's some it cant find either like grand theft auto 3 for example.
The performance for the tablet is ok but i understand a custom rom could improve it and also give better play store access/compatibility. So i started looking at what roms were available, i found troys CM9 and CM10, so wanted to try CM9 first. This is where i started running into problems. Mainly finding everything i needed - CMW, ADB drivers etc.. oh and mounting the sdcard! as below..
I managed to find CMW 6 for the ly-f1, which i copied across onto the tablet and ran using a shell to install it. I copied across the CM9, compatibility and gapps zip files to the internal sdcard. So far so good, however......
when i rebooted into CMW and went to "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from internal sdcard" it comes up saying "cant mount /emmc/"
If i try "choose zip from sdcard" rather than internal sdcard, it says "cant mount /sdcard" - to be expected as i dont have one in it! but i cant figure out why the internal one doesn't work and the whole thing is doing my head in! so need help!
When the tablet is on i can get into the internal sdcard fine and if i connect it to the pc i can see it fine. I've looked around google and the forums and tried a few various things with no joy - for example i tried copying everything off the internal sdcard and formatting it - done this through the android setttings and through windows - both fat32 and ntfs just to see, none made any difference.
I then thought i'd try find another version of CMW in case it was that, i found a version 5 which is when i required the ADB drivers as it was a different method for installing it - got it installed and it rebooted into CMW but i had the exact same problem, still cant mount it, so i am still unable to flash to a new rom.
Am i missing something?? I am quite new to all this so not sure if i need to do anything else first or for this to work such as new kernels or something? Is there another method i can use to flash the device? I know theres livesuite but not sure if this is suitable for CM9 since theres 3 zips that need installed? i cant understand why it cant mount the internal sdcard, any ideas??
Any help would be very much appreciated!
Thanks

Can anyone please help? I want to flash CM9 or CM10 as above.
I found a version 5 and 6 of cwm for the ly-f1/clones and installed it, can reboot into recovery but everytime i go to install zip from sdcard it says it cant mount it.
What is the best version of cwm to use and where can i get it? I take it there is no other method to install CM9/10, it must be done using cwm? Do i need to do anything other than simply having a rooted device and installing cwm to get it all to work?
any help much appreciated!
Hi,
I have tried several ROMs. I just installed the new CM 10.2 on my tablet and started to install all the apps I use. Almost immediately I got the error that the SD is full. Checked the space and this is indeed the case. I have only a few programs installed.
All together it shows that my tablet has 11,36 Gt of space and of this about 11 Gt is in use.
At the moment my CWM shows the root like this:
0/
10/
11/
12/
clockworkmod/
legacy/
obb/
Each one of these seems to have a complete android system all though if you try to access the folders they are shown as empty. I have no backups on the device at the moment so these should not take any space.
Also I am unable to use the external SD card as storage on CWM. It simply is not able to mount /storage/sdcard1. If I try to install zip it does not show the option to "install from external sd". The external SD does show up in the android and I am able to use it from there.
Any idea how to free up space from the device? What are these folders (10/ , 11/ , 12/)? How can I use the external SD in CWM?
problem solved

It seems that the space was taken by program data from previous installations. Deleted most of the folders in /sdcard0/android/. Still dont have access to external SD from CWM but I will try reinstalling it someday.

Probably your sdcard is broken..
If your PC doesnt recognize the external card, u can use a card reader and try to recover all your data using a recover software :\

try using other sdcard, if using the other sdcard your phone can read it, bring your broken sdcard to its service center to trade it with the new one, and should be free and no charge
Remove SD card and Re-insert it

Try this
1)Switch off your mobile phone
2)Remove SD card

check your sd card with card reder if working then its problem with the rom try different rom or stock rom if steel not work then its problem with sd slot. unroot and backup your data go to service center
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.
Hey guys, I've installed several custom roms like sokp, cm, ls and so on via bmm. Once it boots up i can read the internal sdcard but cant operate on it. When i run tbk, it says that media is not mounted and the default folder in the int sdcard cant be accessed. When i try to take a screenshot, it says it was unable to capture and the storage might be in use. When i try to use the camera, it asks me to insert an sdcard. Basically i cant do anything that involves the internal storage but i have full and perfect access to the ext sdcard
When i try to open the int sdcard with a normal cm explorer it says i can only with root access mode. Idk if this helps but idk how to solve this problem
But on the stock 4.0.4 rom it all works perfectly
Could someone plz post the recovery.ftsb file in system/etc/bmm if anyone is still using bmm??? Thanks
