I installed AOSP ROM 6.0 MTK Mod by hoangnguyen and flashed xposed. I boot the phone and everything is trying to install or save to my sd card, even though I don't have one inserted. I tried reflashing and same thing happens. I tried the pm set-location-install 1 and that doesn't work. I need help.

hi,
I have been unlocked and what not for a long time.
My latest ROM installed through TWRP was CM10.2. It really worked well... until it didn't anymore. I would reboot and it would get stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Note II" white logo.
I wiped, did fresh clean install of same ROM and thought, surely that'd do it. Nope. Still same problem.
Did something get corrupted?
I used TWRP to restore the stock ROM (months ago as soon as I rooted and unlcocked, I backed it up). Phone works great, no problems, but I really liked the AOS/KP roms.
The thing is when I connect phone to PC, I can't even access the internal or external SD to copy an updated version of (any) rom. All that shows up is a folder that's marked as a CD (as if I inserted a CD) with samsung driver installer .exe and a couple of other files. I went ahead and ran the installer, still no go for SD card.
I also installed the toolkit found here on xda. Nothing. Still can't access the internal storage or SD card
What can I do?
Thank you!
edit: I am able to access the SD card from TWRP 2.6.1.0

WHen you plug your phone in, is it set to MTP or PTP. You should have it set to Media Transfer Protocol (MTP). Also take your sdcard out and make sure it can be read by a pc period.

Yes, MTP is what I was trying. the sd card works fine. I restored an old rooted stock rom from the first day I unlocked and rooted months ago.
Then after booting into stock rom, the PC "sees" my phone's SD.
I am no expert, but it seems something in the boot got currupted or messed up. No 3rd party roms go passed the white note 2 logo anymore.
I wiped and tried
- the CM 10.2 build that had been working awesome
- a new CM 10.2 build
- PAC MAN rom.
They install fine, first boot into the fresh TWRP-installed rom works fine. But when I reboot, they get stuck. The stock ROM restores fine and I can reboot no problem.
What can I do?
I'll try to change the topic name.
edit: well, I can't edit the topic name. If a mod can, please change to: "cannot boot into custom ROMs."
Did you fully wipe your SD from going to 4.1 -> 4.2/.3? That could cause an issue, maybe. I had a lot of issues changing from 4.1 to 4.2+. Some of the roms, like Carbon, would not let me connect to my computer. I finally settled on PACMAN and it works great. I would just try backing up internal storage, fully wiping everything on the internal memory, and installing one of the roms.
I always wipe internal storage

What version of windows are you running? And have you tried casual again in your phone?

Windows 7 home premium.
haven't tried causal again. I need to, I guess, because I miss the custom ROMS.
Hi guys,
I can't work out why but when I go to wipe all settings then install custom rom from zip file in cmw recovery, it completes normally but after the reboot it just stays on the android bot. I went back into recovery and managed the phone through usb to my PC & saw that in the phone storage there was nothing where there is obviously supposed to be boot files. I have installed this custom rom before & it has been no problem. I also have tried a few other roms (all that i've tried before & they all work) and the same thing happens. I have found one rom that worked strangley and when I manged the phone on my PC i saw that it has placed the boot files on the sd card (not the phone storage).
how can i fix this.
i am very new to rooting so please no complicated talk
can someone not help? this is a big issue.
ill try and explain the problem in more detail below...
i have been messing with my phone lately using CMW TOUCH to wipe my data then install rom from zip. everything was going great until now.
i want to install a rom (that i have installed before.so i know its compatible with my phone), i go through tge same procedure of wiping data then installing from zip.all goes the way it should with it telling me its installing from zip, after a while it tells me to reboot the phone. when i do all that happens is it stay on the green android bot for 1 min then reboots. i went into CMW TOUCH to connect phone to pc & found out that it installed nothing, nothing on the phone storage and on the sd card except the custom rom.
i have tried this with few other roms all with the same results.
NOW...
ive managed to find a rom that will install so it is functional all except recently after a reboot it has stopped detecting the sim，weird.
i connected the phone to my pc to find that all boot files are stored on the sd card not phone storage like it used to.
i had an idea that i will try later today and that is to move the custom rom over to the phone storage from the sd card. remove the sd card during install. maybe that will force the install to use the phone storage for the boot files
will let you know the outcome
jamos
i have just tried to install the rom with the sdcard removed from phone & the same thing happened. even though during the installation it tells me that it is formatting system then installing it installs nothing to the phone storage.
My ext. SD card has stopped being recognized only by TWRP. It is still fully functional for all other apps I use. I have tried 3 different SD cards, all formatted to fat32, and all show the same behavior. I have TWRP 2.8.5.1 installed and have tried reverting to previous versions that worked before but they too now are not recognized by TWRP. I have no idea what I did that messed up TWRP but doing nandroid backups using a OTG connector is getting old. What could prevent only TWRP from using the SD card? In TWRP I can't even select the ext. SD circle - just internal storage or OTG storage. I am running SkyDragon 2.0.1
One thing you can try is go to Google play store and get TWRP manager app. After you install it go to settings and at the bottom you will see where you can apply an SD card patch. Worked for me.
Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that choice is grayed out and says it is already done/not needed. This one really has me stumped.
I flashed the TWRP recovery compatible with treble from the Screwd ROM thread because I was having a problem with the normal TWRP (that is it didn't show the date or hour correctly even if I changed them).
I flashed it using flashify, I went to recovery to see if everything was ok, it was so I rebooted. But after the reboot I noticed that my SD (exFAT) was shown as "corrupted" even though it was working perfectly fine before I flashed the recovery. I tried flashing the normal TWRP again from both, the app and the recovery itself but it didn't solve the problem.
I even clean flashed the ROM I was using but no luck. What it's weird is that both recoveries recognized my SD card. Also, the ROM recognizes other SD card (exFAT) but not the original I was using.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Please help.
You really shouldn't use apps to flash stuff. Only use TWRP. Recovery apps cause more problems than anything.
Take the card out, format it on your PC, boot into system and set it up again. Hopefully it's not completely dead, but I've heard plenty of stories of Android phones corrupting SD cards randomly. That's probably why no Google phones come with SD card slots--SD cards are unreliable even as portable media storage.
Basically, for the past few months I have been using Resurrection Remix 6.1 I think, but had to revert to stock to put in a Network Unlock Code as it wouldn't go through with the custom ROM. I flashed stock, removed root, unlocked my phone and re-installed TWRP but decided to go for my old ROM Lineage 13 as RR seemed like it was sucking battery when it didn't need it. Upon looking at my SD card, I realised it does not show in TWRP nor Android and it shows in Win10, but hangs the PC a little, but I can still view files and copy them over. I cannot however add files, not format the card. I even removed it's read only attributes if it had any and used GParted to try and force a format, but this card is refusing.
I did read somewhere, (can't find it now though for some reason) that if cards were set as adopted/internal storage on a custom ROM, that they may be encrypted and locked to that ROM. The only way would be to use it with that ROM. That does not work. I tried to reinstall RR and it's the same there too.
Have I screwed the card up? It's a Samsung Evo 32gb HC MicroSD if that helps. TIA

I have. I tried everything listed here and it still won't work or allow me to format. Strange thing is it was working fine before and it's a fairly new card.
