I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Trend (GT S7390).
My phone doesnt support Link2SD, so I downloaded Foldermount.
I got the "Foldermount has detected a faulty module" message and clicked "solve".
After this my phone acts in an extremely strange way. When I open storage settings, it is written that There is no space availible on internal memory, and I cannot access it - for example, I cant take screenshots anymore (I get a "memory low, delete some files" message), but when I take my SD card out of the phone, it continues working, even though the file browser shows that internal memory is empty and unaccessible (If I try to create a file in internal memory, I get a "permission denied" error). All this is extremely strange, because I dont know where the hell are my files and how does the phone work if it says its empty, but I can download applications with no memory warning. Moreover, this is very inconvinient, because I cant store anything on the phone and many apps dont work. I didnt find anything similar in the internet. Could you please help me?

So i have been having this problem for a few months now, and its driving me crazy.. I've read every thread on XDA about sdcards, but nothing seems to apply here
When I reboot, my phone launches External2Internal so my 32GB SD can be used as my internal drive, and I've used it fine for a very long time.. but recently the sd card just disappears after some period of time. it seems to happen whenever my phone goes to sleep or the screen goes off and is locked, i suppose
after I reboot the phone it works fine again..
I quite think its from a malicious program.. but I cant be sure
recently, I installed a bunch of sd card tools to rescan, remount, test etc.. and I also installed an External2Internal update... and after all that, the sdcard contents appear to have been deleted, even after multiple reboots, when viewed with ES File Explorer.. However all the contents appear in good condition when viewed with Total Commander.. .
and since all that tinkering, because the sd card seems on some level to be deleted, programs like avast are getting corrupted errors on their virus scans, such as "invalid context during scan".. an error it doesnt get when the sdcard is unmounted completely, but only now that it mounts as appearing mostly empty to es file explorer and probably most other programs.
so it seems like one of the USB tools or the External2Internal update has done something malicious to my card... or maybe it was a last ditch effort by some dorks malicious code from a program i deleted in trying to get this all sorted out
anyone else having this problem or know how it can be fixed?
and I prefer to try and find out what is causing the problem and fix that problem, rather than just reformatting the card or buying a new card, since i'm sure it will just happen again someday
thanks

This happens to me as well, the only difference is that I don't use External2Internal but the jellybean option "default write disk: SD card"
My phone had a bug that said: "Insufficient internal storage", so I tried to solve this rooting with TowelRoot, but when I did things became worse... Now, it seems I can't access internal storage.. if I try to save anything (image, music, etc) to it, it crashes, it just says: "Unable to save file, try again later" if its from WhatsApp, if I try with chrome it closes, if I try with the computer it stays some time trying to copy the file then it says it cannot do it.
After this, I did a Hard Reset (power + up volume buttons), but that didn't do it... What can I so now to access the internal storage and be able to save files again?
Could you ever use internal sdcard for anything, music, pics, ect? I have y530-0151 and even before I rooted it I could not use internal for anything, not even storage. same as you, pc takes forever then gives error.
Same here...even though file explorers show the 4 gb int storage...nothing is shown.
Don't believe it was the towelroot. Maybe it is messed up permissions??
I'm gonna try to flash the hell out of this phone tonight....we'll see if internal storage will return.

This is happening to me. Any help on how to set interneal memory to read and write. i cannot save any file to my phone from any apps.
I'll apreciate your help.
"Let me first apologize for the length of this but hopefully someone will be able to help. I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 running 4.4.2. I recently attempted to use CMInstaller to load Cyanogenmod (I use otter1 on my Kindle and love Cyanogenmod and I really dislike Samsung's OS and bloatware) but it failed. It would get to the point of "Loading OS" and then the android picture on my phone was laying flat with a red triangle over its chest (I'm guessing that means error). CMInstaller then completed and said everything was successful. My S3 then gave me two yes/no questions but no matter what I answered, it eventually just returned to the stock Samsung OS with no root or superuser. From what I have been reading, this is due to Knox and I need to root my phone and remove Knox. I've found several helpful forums on xda-developers on rooting my phone and deleting Knox.
My issue though is that apparently somehow my phone's internal memory has been set to "read-only" or affected in some other way. The phone still works as a phone and it has allowed me to install apps and I can transfer files to and from both the internal memory and the SD card using my computer. But I've noticed that some apps are acting very strangely.
Amazon Kindle: will not download any books or register that I transferred ebooks to the Kindle folder (and yes, they are in the right folder and the right formats). When I attempt to download a book, the pull down menu for the phone gives me an error of "N/A - Download unsuccessful. Tap to try again." When I tap on that, it goes to a download screen that just sits there and does nothing. If I click on the book in the Kindle app it gives me an error of "Unable to Download. A network connection is required to download your Kindle title. Please connect to a network and try again." During these errors I have network connection (I am able to get online using the Dolphin browser) and have tried multiple different wifi networks and Sprint's network in many different geographical locations. I have tried using my wife's Amazon account on my phone with the exact same result.
Dolphin browser: Will not download anything to the internal memory (immediately results in a "Download unsuccessful") and fails to recognize my external SD card (when attempting to choose it as a download location it displays the message "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your SD card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off.") My phone is not connected to my computer during this.
Google Drive: Immediately fails to download any file.
doubleTwist: When attempting to set the music location to internal memory, doubleTwist says "It appears that your device has been set to read-only." Can access the SD card and play music found there.
All of the stock Samsung applications can access both internal memory and the SD card with no problem. The camera can save pictures to the internal memory and the SD card, the stock browser can save files with no problems, the voice recorder can record and save without issue and My Files can move, copy and delete files on both the SD card and the internal memory. It could argued that I just use Samsung's apps but I hate Samsung's apps and most of the time there are all hidden/disabled.
All of this started after CMInstaller failed. Is there any way to fix this? More importantly will this stop me from (or mess up) rooting my phone, obliterating Knox and loading Cyanogenmod? Part of me just wants to leave the phone as is since it still works (for the most part) but another, bigger part of me wants to remove Samsung's hold on my phone even more than before."
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section so those that own your device can help.
Good luck!
Problably your problems are caused by CM-installer. Espec., because it tries to change recovery, too. Very comfortable, very fragile. I suggest to rebuild everything. You loose all your settings and data except those on extSdCard. Btw: there is no Knox on S3.
Save your data, as much as possible.
DownloadMode. Flash the newest firmware with Odin.
RecoveryMode. FactoryReset.
You should have a working system now. If yes:
DownloadMode. Root with cfAutoRoot and Odin.
Flash TWRP2.8.1.0 with Odin.
FullWipe. Flash any custom-rom, you want. FactoryReset.
ok so i flashed T3rom on my phone not so long ago and i noticed that ever since then my phone storage us read only i cant write anything to it i tired to so many ways but it wont work its always read only
i tried that way with command lines i don't remember the command line but it was some thread here anyway it didn't work
but today my phone swapped itself my 2gb internal storage has became my sdcard and is now writable
my 4gb sd card is now my phone storage and its read only also it has deleted some albums without my permission just like that
i connected my phone to the pc and yes my sd card is now phone storage and its 4gb !! and i cant copy anything to it the pc tells me that the device is not responding and the phone tells me "you don't have a permission to do this "
apps like camera and contacts wont store new stuff because when they try to save anything on the phone storage its only until i close the app they get removed
PLEASE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!
I've downloaded the lastest official ROM, and installed it within TWRP.
Everything seemed to be okay after rebooting into the system.
While I found i was not able to download the wallpaper from web browseror to take pictures due to lack of storage.
I'm not able to upload pictures here, so will try my best to describe the situations:
1. after opening camera, it pops out "Turn off camera? /n Insert an SD card before using the camera. /n Cancel or Turn off"
2. when i try to save something from web browser, it says "couln't save due to limited storage space."
3. opening the file manager, I do find internal storage shown at the bottom, indicating 50.20 GB/total 64.00 GB. But opening it, only two folders appear, namely "Android" and "TWRP".
I wondered if it was caused by some read-only issue to the system drive, but I did allow TWRP to modify the system partition upon booting the rec.img.
I've tried a few rounds, the problem is still there. and my yota 3 is kind of a brick to me now.
Help me, please.
My yota3+ also lost the ability to write to the internal memory (possibly after I've inserted a sd card and decline formatting it). Searching for a solution only come up with a very old thread on HTC which involved commands on a rooted phone like msdos_fcsk and restorecon. I couldn't try these commands as my phone is not rooted. You can try these if your phone is rooted.
