rooting rca g1 cell phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the RCA g1 cell phone (not to bet confused with HTC G1) shown below. Is there a way to root this phone?
It has barely any internal memory. Because of this, I can't install barely any apps on it. I installed a 32GB SD card and checked the settings box that says install apps automatically first to the SD card. But still, I'm getting this message that says I have insufficient memory to install app whenever I try to install more apps than the phone's internal storage will allow.
I'm thinking rooting is the solution but if not, is there a way for me to fix this problem without rooting if root isn't available? Phone is kitkat os. Thanks

[Q] memory full

i have root mi s2 with Siyah-s2-v6.0b5 and Odin3-v1.85
runs great but my galaxy says that the memory is almost full and then i erease a lot of apps and still have de problem.
and know y cant install any apps
help please
It might be another partition that's full. I had a similar problem and it turned out that my external SD card was full. go to your settings -> storage and wait for a minute or two while it gathers stats on the different partitions. then look which one is full.

[Q] sdcard0 = 0 bytes, missing / corruption ?

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!

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.

SD card problems....am I the only one?

Please help as this is driving me up the wall. I have a 16gb WiFi/lte Tablet (sp321) and I don't seem to be able to copy things to my sd card via es explorer, the built in sony unlimited video app, my seagate media app.....I can do file copies and create new folders using file commander.
I originally assumed it was my Samsung 64gb card but as it could be mounted and formatted and copied to by file commander, Google music I wasn't sure. So I swopped it for my Sony 64gb card with the same results. OK I know the 321 doesn't support 64gb cards so I got a samsung 32gb card, formated that in the tablet but still the same results.
I actually want to download the free movies I got from the Sony unlimited store when I bought my z2 but everytime I try to download them I get the error unable to write them to the sd card so going to use the local storage.
My device is unrooted, bootloader locked.
Please help

KitKat itself blocks access to the SD storage to every system app. It is mainly due security and speed. It's not Sony's fault. If you want to use it just like before, root your device and install and run an app called SdFix. Should do the job

Thanks for the quick reply, could you clarify what you mean by every system app ? File Commander does work but Sony Video Unlimited ( which I had to download a newer version that the play store was offering to show up my purchases from my Z2 ) doesn't have access.
I think I might do you suggest and root but I'm not sure if iPlayer will still work as they say they won't work on rooted devices.
Thanks again for your help

Scrap the questions above, I've read about SDFix and the assosicated reasons so as soon as I get home I'll root and install.
Given that all SDFix does is update an XML file thats not availble to the standard user, I assume after the fix has been applied I can unroot if I need to ?
Thanks

I've been trying to figure out just how to root this thing. I picked one up on sale, and while limited, it seems alright for the price. That 1GB app install storage partition is super annoying though. I'm willing ti live with it but only if I can root the thing... What method did you use to root it???
I used Kingo root, you have to install the SDK drivers and roots it. I've installed xposed moduals they work fine as well. Where I'm stuck is how to install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Any help on this from someone would be appreciated. Not much info for this tablet. On a side note is there any cm ROMs for this tab.
For what it's worth, I was eventually able to root the thing without having to locate a compatible ROM by using a free windows application called MoboGenie .. once the program is installed and loaded on your Windows PC, connect the device via USB, and give it about 5-10 minutes to find and install the driver it needs (MoboGenie did this all automatically, just took a little time). Once it does, it should start populating the screen with details about the connected device. In the Toolbox section (down the left side), there is a "Root" button. Click it and then confirm and it pushes SU onto the device automatically... Takes about 2 minutes. Then you disconnect the device and reboot it... After that, it's persistently rooted! You can even unroot by following the same steps in MoboGenie (if you click on "Root" again and confirm, it simply removes the root from the device - too easy!)
I tried it (just for fun) with a Samsung Note 3, but MoboGenie could not root that device, so clearly its powers are limited; however it works perfectly with the Hipstreet Phoenix, so I'm happy

Oh and to help conserve precious app data space, I found that, after rooting, the Lucky Patcher app does a seamless job of moving app data "to sd card" which basically results in moving the data to the larger partition. You can do this as a batch action in Lucky Patcher, or one by one.
One note though - I foolishly bought a 32GB microSD card to leave in the tablet full time, but the tablet unmounts the damn thing pretty much any time it's put on standby, and you have to deliberately tell it to mount the card every time you want to use it. This means it's hopeless for putting app data onto a microSD card on these tablets... which sucks, but oh well.
Next time, I'm buying a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet... they're by far the best tablets (and phones) on the market, and though they're not cheap, you definitely get what you pay for!

That's why I ended up using Mobogenie -- couldn't find a ROM that worked with it.
On a side note, the first Phoenix tablet I had, after rooting with Mobogenie, I used Android Tuner and applied the Partition Trim function.. it seemed to work until I rebooted the device and it went into an infinite boot loop. Seems the device is REALLY easy to corrupt, and the trim effectively bricked it. I contacted Hipstreet and got them to replace it under warrantee (cost me nothing, too). Just if you DO go that route, don't mention what you did, just tell them it bricked itself.

Ok
1st off I just bought my 1st tablet and it was this one. I instantly fell in love with it thinking I had found some great deal. Then after having it for about a week I started getting the insufficient storage message. I was about to return it when I found this thread. I used mobogenie to root it. THIS WAS SO EASY especially since I'm a noob. I installed lucky patcher from google play store but it didnt give me the option to move to sd card. So I used Link2SD. Which works fine on all the apps I have downloaded but not the apps native to the OS.
So my questions are
How do I get rid of the apps native to the OS? And/or move them to the external SD which the device calls NAND flash.
Even with moving the apps to SD which is the partitioned storage space(NAND Flash) I can only download apps to the limited internal storage before I can then move them using LinkSD. So say I want to download hearthstone which is 707 mb, and too large for the internal storage space. Is there a way to download it to the NAND Falsh section directly?
I also bought a external 64GB sd card cause one of my friends said that would fix the problem. How do I download a large game directly to that with this Tablet?
Am I asking too much of this tablet? Should I just keep it for a bit to get used to tablets then upgrade to a more expensive monster in a few months? Im having so much fun so far messing with it I kind of just it to be my Frankenstein and play with it till it breaks......errr I mean Bricks.
Please help me get my nerd on,
Im officially a enthusiast

I use TitaniumBackup with my rooted device. It makes freezing, detaching from market (so they won't update themelves), and removing system apps really easy.

I have found no ways to re-allocate the app space partition and yeah, large apps are never going to install, but smaller apps seem to work as long as we move to SD immediately after any installs or updates.

You cannot. I did the same thing, but I find you have to MANUALLY mount the SD card every time you want to access it - as soon as you put it to sleep, it unmounts the damn external card. This makes it USELESS for app installs... just data like videos, music, etc... even then, it's a pain.

You're lucky then I contacted support through that lame-ass support app that only sometimes connects to their system, and was told point-blank that there is no way to re-allocate the install space (the 1gb area) to make more basic room.
In the end, I disabled all automatic Play updating for all apps (I check and apply them manually instead, as it eats precious install space.) I use LuckyPatcher for moving all app to SD one installed, and TitaniumBackup to remove unnecessary pre-installed stuff. Bummer is, no big games, ever..
Hello all.
I am having the same issues.
I have a 16GB Phoenix Hipstreet, stuck in a boot loop.
I can't load TWRP or anything else, as I am a novice user..
However, that program MOBOGENIE sounds like what I need, however after searching everywhere, I can't find a trust worthy looking source to download, as many have been de-listed due to not being supported or something anymore.
This sounds like it would fix my problems in a heart beat.
Does any one have access to an installer?
I've tried all I can think of.
Thanks in advance.
