Hi to all community, I am having a pretty serious problem with my device (xperia mini pro 17i, Locked bootloader, Rooted, upgraded to Ics and later to Zelly bean pro 2.0, O2 uk carrier) and I have searched everywhere without finding any solution.
Since I bought the phone I am having a lot of sd card reading issues up to the point that I had to remove the battery\card and reinsert them 3-4 times per day (8gb class 4) .
I thought the problem was in my corrupted sd card which I replaced with a Sandisk 32gb class10 but I still had the same issues. The worst of all is that once or two times per month almost all my folders apart from the system and app folders are being wiped out. I tried to recover them but with no luck.
Things went much better when I replaced ICS with zelly bean , I had almost zero issues with my sd card (maybe only once per day), but today and after a couple of restarts all my folders where gone again (almost 20gb of pictures and music).
Have you ever had any issue like this ?

Hey,
It is a strange issue and I didn't face such an issue before but if I were u, I will do the following..
1- Backup data on SD card.
2- Format SD card.
3- Install CWM through X-Parts or wherever you want.
4- Wipe all data "Even Dalv. Cache".
5- Connect phone to PC Companian and start "Repair Phone".. It will install the official software from the begining without any root premissions.
6- Root the phone again.
7- Download Titanium Backup from Play Store to fix permissions of root.. Nothing else.
8- Backup the offiicial ROM with CWM... Cause it is the best from my point of view.
9- Install your favoriate ROM.
10- Restore your data on your SD card and plug it again in your device.
I wish it will help you man.. Good luck
That's exactly what i didand I hope i will not have any further issues, wiped everything and formatted the sd card, installed official gb rom, rooted then upgraded to ics and flashed the zc rom with all the other updates , if that fails too then I am afraid that it is a hardware issue.
So I've been using SanDisk Ultra 64 GB sdcard since I bought my Max about 5 months ago. Recently I've been switching between CM11, NuSense and Stock Deodexed ROMs. I have used TWRP for the most part. Yesterday after flashing the new crDroid ROM, I tried to restore CM11 (of which worked) but afterwards my sdcard would not mount. It kept causing the whole system to crash and reboot. I attempted mounting in recovery to no avail. I tried using CWM- negative results. Now it doesn't even register in the phone at all and even causes my computer to become very slow while reading it. It will not mount in Ubuntu 12.04 but mounts in Windows 8.1. I've tried copying the content- negative results. Anyone experience this before.
I used to own a Droid Charge which had sdcard corruption issues and one person in the forum said the HTC devices can become corrupt when the "S-Off" becomes corrupted.

Any thoughts?
Yes, it has happened twice. Once on my 64 & 128 card which are Scan disk branded. I didn't get system crashing. I just had to format. I had the phone s-off since December and just experience it last month for the first time.
I lost backups and everything the first time but then started using Drop sync but with drop sync and my move to KitKat I have to move some of that info to internal and once backup done delete duplicate info.
I haven't experience it again on either card so not sure why it happen. I wiped the phone starting with fresh install after the first case but not the second. I haven't experience it after a format. I even used the phone for formatting the second time computer the first.
64GB External sdcard wont mount; corrupted

This problem also happened on my One MAX three times...
I am using stock ROM.
I have to format my 32g card three time......
so, I learned, data backup is very important.
Hi guys. I have a mtk6592 octacore phone (Timmy M7) with 8 gb rom and 1,2 gb available for apps. Before a week I made a successful attempt with ebr tweak tool and flashed new ebr files with a 2,5 gb internal space . After that ι made a format the second partiotion from the phone. Everything was good until I made a copy an app to the phone memory (the second partiotion-phone storage). The phone spoiled, dozens of apps began το close and ι had to flashıng my backup . This situation has took 3 or 4 times and now I have a fully working phone with a very small internal storage.
CAN U HELP ME ? ANY IDEAS ? What was my fault and what can i do for a big internal ?
SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH.
Hey everyone
Here's what's happening ... I have an Samsung Galaxy SM-J500FN 2015 model phone,
a while ago I rooted it (back then it was under Android v5) ... I wanted to tweak some settings but I did something terrible, I played with KNOX.
Apparently KNOX and root don't go well together, my phone wouldn't boot anymore (rebooting loop).
Anyway, it was nothing, I just used Odin and a fresh new Official ROM (Android Marshmallow v6.0.1) and my phone was working again.
But now I discovered something, my phone is supposed to have an Internal Storage of 8GB, and that's the amount my memory settings show, but something was wrong with that, so I searched and after some time I understood that even though it said 8GB, my true storage was 4GB.
(More exactly I had 8GB but 4GB were constantly full, not even used by the system).
After a day I understood what might have happened :
My older ROM that has crashed wasn't erased when I flashed the new ROM, so now half of my Internal Storage is occupied by default meaning that I have two partitions on my phone (similar to when you install Windows and Linux on one PC).
But I cannot find any way to erase/reset my phone totally to get back those 4GB of memory.
If you have some applications, tricks, advice of some sort that could help me, I would really appreciate
Thank you for your time.

Hi, how are you sir.
Ok, first thing you should know, that if your phone is labeled as an 8GB phone then you will only get 4GB no matter what you do, now there is no way that there are 2 roms on one system partition, what may be taking the space could be old data from the old rom like in /android folder and could possibly also be media files from apps that was installed in previous rom like Facebook photos, WhatsApp videos, pics, and voice messages...etc, installing stock rom with Odin doesn't erase any files, but it completely replaces the rom in system partition with new rom.
Okay I see, thank you.
But still, I've explored that 'Android' folder a few times, checked photos, documents, everything ...
Now what I don't really understand is this :
You will only get 4GB no matter what you do

Why is that ? Isn't there a way to access this memory ?
BTW : I didn't flash with Rooted Stock ROM, I used an Official Android 6.0.1 ROM from Samsung's Website
EDIT : My phone when started in Recovery Mode first says "No Command" with the Android Red Error logo, then opens the recovery mode like there never was no error involved ... That's one the things that made me say that my phone definitely had some issues with my older ROM.

the reason why you will get 4 only is because the 8GB includes system partition, data partition, cache, preload (if there is one) in addition to the space taken from the formatting, it's pretty much the same like when you buy a 8GB sdcard and you get only about 7.3GB, or when you buy a 16GB phone and you only have 11.5GB for media (my case..), or when you buy a 32GB phone and you find about 8GB already taken from the phone and you get to use about 23GB for media files (my dad's case and you'll notice that in any other 32GB phone), that's what i meant, you also can check any 8GB phone and you will find that he only has 4GB for media...i hope i explained it in an easy way.
in my case i have an s2 with 16GB
i only have 11.5GB for media, and there is 512mb system partition and 512mb preload, and 2GB data partition, and small cache partition.., so that makes it about 14.5GB in total, the missing 1.5GB is due to formatting as far as i know, same as the sdcards thing i said earlier..
p.s: those partitions are unaccessible by default, they are hidden from the user, only way to access them is by rooting the phone and using a root explorer.
Yes I knew about that, but I never knew it took so much place
Thank you for your answer, I guess my phone is totally normal
I bought my S3 two days ago and I noticed that the system occupies 18,75GB!!! Is that correct? So what is the use on having 32GB if almost 20GB come already used from factory!!!!
Moreover, still could not root mine using the files and tutorial found around here. TWPR passes on ODIN install but gives me a boot looping... So that I can't enable adoptive storage on my 64 GB SD card.
Please let me know if it is correct.

No, post a screen shot of your storage usage.
Thanks for your time!
Attached.
I factory reseted the tablet and the space occupied by system now is around 7,8 GB.
Somehow it was duplicated in the first case. I have flashed OS through odin after a boot loop so I think it was a cache issue.
Anyway, solved.
