Hello!
I have Samsung Galaxi S2 GT-I9100
Android version 4.1.2
I got root access, CWM.
Got SSH server installed for terminal.
Recently I tried to download an audio file over 3G. The download couldn't be completed and after then I wouldn't be able to download any file. I discovered I could also not delete any file from my internal storage which is sdcard0.
When I tried to change permissions on sdcard0 using SSH I typed:
Code:
chmod -R 777 sdcard0
and got this:
Code:
chmod: sdcard0: Read-only file system
Please help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Perhaps mounting internal storage using CWM (mounts & storage) helps? Greetings

Tried "mount /sdcard", nothing changed. I also tried "fixing permissions" option.
Try to plug your phone on a pc, right click your internal sd, choose tools and fix errors (run chkdsk on it).
Do it on your external sd too if you have one.

You're welcome.
Sadly, be prepare to do it more and more as the phone ages...
It happens when some I/O error occurs when for example the phone crash, or when the memory ages and get more easly corrupted.
Others symptoms that this "fix" can solve is spontaneous reboot, phone geting very hot without reason... well strange behaviors related to errors which occured on the internal/external memory.

When i woke up this morning i had to hold powerbutton for, is it 10 seconds, to restart the phone. When it booted up again i got a message that said somethings wrong with the sdcard, and it asked if i wanted to format. Hell no! I got things there i really want to keep (yea stupid of me not to have it backed up!).
I went in to recovery and if i enter the "install zip from internal sdcard" i can see the card and all it's files.
If this would have happened to my external sdcard i'd just put it in my laptop doing a scandisc and all would be cool.
Now it isn't. So how do i solve this?

Have you tried to mount the internal SD to the PC over USB from from recovery mode, using the "mounts and storage" menu?
Considering you have CWM recovery running, if not flash a kernel with CWM and try it then.

Hi and thanks for answer!
Yes i have CWM, just forgot to mention it.
I just tried to mount usb storage from cwm and both cards shows up, but only external can get accessed. Nothing(!) happends when i pick the scandisc option and clicks start. Just doesnt start.
Edit: still can SEE the files in cwm, just need to know how to copy them to a safe place so i can format the sd. :/

Hm, in that case you could copy them via an adb shell over to the external card.
adb is a command line tool that's part of the Android SDK.
Invoke a shell via
Code:
adb shell
when the phone is in CWM recovery and connected via USB.
Make sure internal and external SD are mounted (mounts and storage menu) and use the "cp" (=copy) command to copy the important files over, like
Code:
cp /sdcard/afile.dat /path/to/external/sd
(sorry don't remember where CWM mounts the external SD at the moment, IIRC it's something like /mnt/emmc, but I'm not sure right now)
The cp command can also use wildcards like "*" for all files in the given directory.
Hope that gets you closer to saving your data.
I know this may sound cliche.. Have you tried turning off your phone ans remove the sd card and re insert it back in... And boot back up?

Thanks! Will try that in a few hours when i get home. Is there any chance i could do a "cp /mnt/sdcard/" to copy the whole sd at once? But perhaps something could go wrong since the ext sd is mounted in /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
Bah i dont know.... Any command genious here who can help me further?

Yeah, with the external mounted in a path inside the internal - that will somehow get you some troubles.
Let's consider for a moment it's at /mnt/emmc, then you could do:
Code:
cp -r /mnt/sdcard/* /mnt/emmc/maybesomesubdirifyouwant/
If the external SD is mounted somewhere you can't use it (like inside the internal - but IIRC CWM doesn't do that) you can just unmount it with something like this:
Code:
umount /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
then mount it somewhere else with
Code:
mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/ext_sd
.
If you want/need to create a subfolder in /mnt (or wherever) you have to remount / as read-write first:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /
mkdir /mnt/ext_sd

Solved it by formating. ;(
Hello, fellow gTablet users!
I'm kinda newbie here, so first of all my apologies to everyone if that was already asked, 'cause I did some research on the matter and couldn't find all the necessary info for solving my particular issue.
Ok, so here's the deal. I was using my gTab for about half-year now. When I received it, I installed VeganTab-7 Ginger Edition on it (thanks for the devs - very nice ROM!) and it worked flawlessly until yesterday. But then something not good happened and the tablet stopped booting. Now it starts from birds screen, goes on to G-Tabdevs screen, after which VeganTab GingerEd boot screen appears, it has flashing letters for a couple of seconds and then tablet goes black and tries to boot again. I guess it's a boot loop so it's kinda soft brick and I'll have to do wipe data/factory reset through CWM to solve the issue. So this isn't the biggest problem - I've already found all the instructions.
The real problem is that I didn't make backup of my data (guilty!), but I don't want to lose some of it, especially the browser data. I was using Opera Mobile, so I guess that its data should be on /data partition. So I'll need an advice on how I can dump the necessary data before doing factory reset!
I've already tried connecting to desktop, using guide from this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010943) thread (third method from it), but it didn't work, at least on my Win7 Pro x64 SP1: the tablet shows as removable disk, but I can't access it. I tried to mount /data or /sdcard partitions through CWM recovery menu, but it tells me that it can't find /dev/block/... - I guess that's block device, associated with those partitions. So what are my best options of backuping data?
And the last question: I'll probably install some other ROM just to try something different, but unfortunately I don't remember what loader I have. I'm nearly sure that I installed VeganTab for 1.1, 'cause I did it back in May 2011 and there wasn't one available for 1.2 yet. But just to make sure: how can I find my loader version before I do reset? Or maybe I just have to do the reset and look for it when back on stock ROM?
Seriously, guys, doesn't anybody know how to solve these problems?
Boot into CWM first, then try mounting both /data and /sdcard using the CWM menu. Note down the exact error message displayed in each case. Then connect the USB cable and run these ADB commands on your PC:
Code:
C:\> [B]adb shell dmesg >dmesg.txt[/B]
C:\> [B]adb shell fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk3 > fdisk.txt[/B]
C:\> [B]adb shell fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk2 >> fdisk.txt[/B]
Post the error messages and those 2 .txt files here.
Thank you for reply, rajeevvp.
When I'm trying to mount /data and /sdcard it says respectively:
Code:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p2
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting DATA:!
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk2p1)
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting SDCARD:!
Unfortunately I didn't have ADB installed. Now I'm trying to use the guide from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902860, but fail on step 4, cause there is nothing like "Nvidia harmony" appearing under other devices in my dev manager, just "Nvidia Tegra 2 USB Device" under Disk Drives and "USB Mass Storage Device" under Universal Serial Bus Controllers. I guess these devices are gTablet's internal memory presented as disk drive...
I'll try to install ADB and then write back how it worked.
Interesting error messages. Now I really have to see those text files.
If you're having problems installing ADB on Windows, try using Linux.
Ok, thanks you very much! I'll try that, but unfortunately tomorrow, as it's already too late here.
Btw, I read your post about linux - you're suggesting Knoppix Live CD there. Is it mandatory to use it? I mean I already have PartedMagic live CD burned, maybe I could use it instead...

Ok, I finally managed to do it. Sorry for the delay.
The files are attached. Did everything how you told me.
Actually I don't think that I understand too much in Android inner mechanics But having looked through these files, I thought that inner sdcard device (mmcblk3) doesn't seem to produce any strange behavior...
Btw, thanks a lot for your advice about using Knoppix - it's really very easy and handy!

You have lost your /data partition altogether. You are supposed to have 2 partitions on that internal SD card: a 14GB FAT32 partition and a 2GB ext3 partition. You only have a single FAT32 partition spanning the entire SD card now.
I may be able to help you get both partitions back if you give me these details:
1. How and when did this happen?
2. Current ROM.
3. Current version of CWM.
4. Did you try to repartition the (internal) SD card recently?
5. Have you ever repartitioned the internal SD card? If yes, then using which version of CWM?
6. After you noticed the problem what steps did you take to fix the problem?
Yeah, I remember I was curious where it stores OS's kernel if all it has is FAT32 partition - now I get it...
Ok, here are the details:
1. I don't really know what has happened, but I guess that it happened when I tried to use tablet like cardreader for microsd card. During that I sort of formatted external sd - maybe that actually was internal memory? I checked through file manager though, and all the files seemed intact...
2. VeganTab GingerEd from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031250. I'm pretty sure that I didn't install anything except for it.
3. Don't know. But it says ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 in recovery menu, so I guess its version is maybe 0.8.
4. No I didn't, at least intentionally.
5. I think I did it just once, when installing the ROM. I'm pretty much sure that I used this instructions for repartitioning: http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/repartition.htm (not exactly this, but I did the same as it's written there). To install the ROM I used the instructions from the ROM thread, mentioned above. I didn't whant to do a lot of modding, just wanted the device to work at least better than with stock ROM, so didn't try to change any other low-level things.
6. I just tried to mount partitions through CWM recovery and I tried wiping out cache partition and Dalvik cache. Nothing else.

The OS kernel is not stored on the SD cards. They're stored on a "boot" partition on the NAND flash. And, if the OS was messed up you would get hung up on the initial splash screen (the one with the 3 birds)--you wouldn't go into a boot loop.

That's what caused this problem. CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 does not work on the external SD card (but, CWM-2.5.1.3 and CWM-4.0.1.5 do).
Did you format the internal SD card using CWM?
I checked through file manager though, and all the files seemed intact...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Files where? The internal SD card or the external one? And, how did you check this? After formatting the internal SD card, the very next boot into the ROM would've put you into a boot-loop because the /data partition is missing.
I think I may be able to get stuff from /data, but, everything on /sdcard is most likely gone. (Actually, the files are most likely all there, but, without direct access to the tablet, it's very difficult to get the retrieve any of them.) Just don't touch the tablet until I've figured out the commands you will have to use.
That's what caused this problem. CWM-2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 does not work on the external SD card (but, CWM-2.5.1.3 and CWM-4.0.1.5 do).
Did you format the internal SD card using CWM?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, I was going to format external SD card and I tried to do it through Android (or maybe VeganTab) menu. I think that doing this, I could accidentally format internal SD, but I'm not sure this could be done from within the OS. During the same logon session I checked files on internal SD with file manager and all of them were where they should have been. So I thought that all was ok. But when I rebooted next time, it wasn't booting... That's why I told you that maybe it was because of formatting.
And just to be clear: I didn't do anything using CWM after it stopped booting, apart from wiping system and Dalvik caches.
Do you have a large capacity micro SD card (anything larger than the maximum amount of data that's currently on the internal SD card) that you can use to save retrieved data into?

OK. Format that micro SD to contain a single DOS partition; then we'll proceed.

Ok. That's done.
Boot into CWM, go into the "mounts and storage" menu, unmount all mounted partitions, connect the USB cable, and run these commands using ADB--do not back out of that "mounts and storage" menu while we're fixing this. We're trying to see if the data on the current /sdcard partition can be retrieved.
Code:
$ [B]adb shell[/B]
~ # [B]mount -r /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard[/B]
~ # [B]ls -l /sdcard[/B]
If the ls listing looks OK, then we force a filesystem check before copying the data to the external micro SD card:
Code:
~ # [B]mount -r /system[/B]
~ # [B]umount /sdcard[/B]
~ # [B]/system/bin/fsck_msdos -f -y /dev/block/mmcblk3p1[/B]
If the listing doesn't look OK, then the data on /sdcard is lost.
Post the exact output of each command.
Ok, mount says this:
Code:
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 on /sdcard failed: Invalid argument
and ls after that gives no output - I think it shouldn't give any, 'cause I didn't mount anything...
Does this mean I'm screwed?
Try this mount command:
Code:
~ # [B]mount -r -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk3p1 /sdcard[/B]
The same result.
Hey all
I'm asking for your help, because i can't boot on my S3 !
I have a reboot loop, and i want to reinstall stock rom throug Clockwork, but i can't mount my internal sdcard... and i have no external sdcard so i can't do anything !
So my problem is i can't move a rom from my PC to my phone because i can't access my internal storage...
Any tip ?

If you want to install a stock ROM, why not just grab a firmware tar and flash with ODIN?
Anyway, assuming that you somehow have a CWM-flashable ZIP of the stock ROM and you're using a custom CWM recovery, you can push files through ADB:
Install Kies so that all the required drivers are installed;
Grab SuperOneClick from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 and extract the ADB folder;
Attach a USB cable to the phone and to the computer;
Use CWM to mount /sdcard;
Open a Command Prompt in the folder where you extracted ADB;
run "adb shell";
run "ls /sdcard" and verify that your internal SD card is mounted (are the files that are on your internal SD card in that list?);
if it is mounted, run "exit" and then type "adb push", and then a space, and drag the ZIP file to the command prompt, add another space and then add "/sdcard" and press enter so you have something like this:
"adb push AStockROM,zip /sdcard"

I have the same problem as op in his first post as well as "Error mounting SD card". I tried the quoted instructions above and then the commands for adb, but on typying run adb shell and run ls /sdcard nothing happens. Could this be because I have jelly bean 4.1.2 and samsung removed the USB-mass torage feature in it for internal SD-cards?
I have the same exact CWM version.
If I type "run adb shell" (with the quotation) marks I get:
Run.exe
---------------------------
Error: Couldn't find adb shell anywhere.
I even looked in the PATH
I also tried appending the following extensions:
[1]: .exe
[2]:
run "ls /sdcard" gives:
Run.exe
---------------------------
Error: Couldn't find ls /sdcard anywhere.
I even looked in the PATH
I also tried appending the following extensions:

[2]:
Just to experiment I tried to mount sd card in cwm after choose zip - still get "Error mounting SD Card".
Also if I go into my data folder via CWM I don't have a media folder, but I guess that's because im inside the wrong partition.
And just to be clear about the command part. My ADB folder is located at C:\ADB
I opened elevated command prompt, typed "cd C:\ADB" (without quotation marks), then enter. Then i ran the adb shell and ls /sdcard commands.
I also restarted computer after installing KIES.
edit: my goal was to transfer nandroid backup to phone and do a restore, guess I'll have to go the odin route -> flash stock rom, then connect phone to windows and transfer the nandroid.

Try just typing "ls" to see what folders you have. If you type "ls /sdcard" it shows nothing because the /sdcard in root is not a real folder, it is a link. Try "ls", after that try "ls /storage". I know my internal sdcard can be shown if I do "ls /storage/sdcard0". Hope that helps.

My reply is for posterity since I solved my problem by solution mentioned in edit. I don't require more assistance at this time, and will likely not answer if someone replies.
Using these commands still nothing happens in the command prompt.

I have noticed that depending on what CWM you get it will try and mount /external_sd/ instead of /extsdcard/. The latest CWM touch from ROM manager has been failing loading external storage for me due to that.
However the last non touch I used (5.0.4 I think) worked perfectly for external storage.
As to why a reinstall of the same CWM fixed the issue I have no clue as I wouldn't think that would change it unless it was something residiual from a previous install of CWM.
I know you have fixed the issue, but this might help if it pops up again, check under the mount option and if it has the option to mount /external_sd/ or anything external that isn't extsdcard I am betting you won't be able to mount the galaxy external storage.
Hi!
Yesterday i got my wifes old S3 because she has an S5 now.
As Android 4.3 Original FW was installed i´ve rooted the phone using Odin 3.09 and CF-Autoroot which worked flawless.
Then i´ve flashed TWRP Recovery (newest version) using also Odin.
So everything is working well but i can´t mount any partitions in the recovery to connect the phone via usb and push roms or other data to it.
I get the following error message: Unable to find storage partition to mount USB
I´ve tried CWMTouch and TWRP - both are not able to mount any partition.
Plz does some1 have a conclusion for my problem?
Thx in advance!

Yes!
Everyhting is working fine but i can´t mount the internal sd card for xmpl to move a rom file to flash via usb to the phone
You wrote first: can't mount any partitition. Now it's only sdcard0. Can you write to sdcard0 and extSdCard within the running system, fe downloading from internet?

i can´t mount any partition in recovery but i only need the internal sd card for flashing roms and some other stuff...
when the rom is booted i can write to internal sd card without any problem
as i don´t own an external card i can´t test this...
If there aren't any important data on sdcard0:
try in TWRP fix permissions and wipe internal storage.

but when i wipe internal storage i might get problems i think ...
Make a backup.
If your system is ok, you only loose temporary files in /Android and TWRP-settings in /TWRP. And in daily use, downloads, photos... of course.
I´ve tried to push a rom now via adb and twrp sideload option but windows doesn´t recognize the device
adb usb
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
Edit:
Meanwhile i´ve flashed a 3 part stock rom using odin and i´ve also re-partioned but still the same problem
wicked!
