Hi,
I have a generic LY-F1 Allwinner tablet which was working fine until a week ago. Now, however, it won't boot past the glowing Android screen. I've left it for five or six hours with no progress, so I guess the ROM is corrupted. Is there any other way to fix this other than flashing a new ROM?
However, the main problem with this tablet is that it does not automatically enter mass storage mode when plugged into a laptop, so I have no way to rescue my content. I can see the drives in Windows (one for the internal SD, one for the SD slot) but they are not usable (they result in an 'insert media' message)
Is there a way to force mass storage mode so that I can remove my data in preparation to reflash it? I'm sure I read of a command line method to get into the internal SD card? Or was I imagining it?
Any help most welcome!
Anyone at all? I could really do with getting this sorted over the weekend if possible, so any help much appreciated!
Hello,
When I updated my S3 to 4.3 from 4.1.2, it was terrible. It was very laggy, my screen didn't show when pressing the Power Button or the Home Button, and I thought that resetting to factory might fix it. Well, I was so desperate to make my phone work better that I didn't realize that all my files were on the internal storage, I don't have an SD Card. So, I've lost everything.
Now, I'm trying to recover some photos, but I can't connect my phone as USB mass storage to use a recovery soft on Windows 8. I rooted my phone, installed USB Mass Storage Enabler app, but it shows two drives (H: and I, but I can't access those. It gives me "Please insert a disk into Removable Drive (LETTER"
Please help, I did everything I found on forums, but still nothing. Those files might be lost, but now I have another battle.. Making my phone available in Mass Storage.
And by the way, it still works terrible with 4.3. Hate it so much!
Have you installed USB drivers ???
Have you read the stickied storage/ recovery thread ??

Unfortunately I think USB Mass Storage in the way it is implemented in 4.x for the moment can only share the external SD, the internal one is never visible.
IMHO the only approach to recover "something" is to get an external microSD larger than the internal partition and create a block copy (with dd under adb in CWM/Philz recovery for instance) of the entire "internal SD" partition - that one will be an EXT4 (Linux) partition) and there is a very, very small chance that you might recover some stuff from it (I doubt but who knows).
Yes, i have the Samsung USB Driver for mobile phone (1.5.29.0)
No, didn't read the storage/recovery thread.
Oh well...
Such error happens if transfer breaks unexpectedly. Think what file did you send lastly and delete it, it should fix your issue.
If you can't remember or it did not, formatting your external sd card will fix it for sure.

Ah, you're talking about internal one.
Well, then your magic program doesn't work properly. Perhaps you could try boeffla kernel and it's UMS.
Hi everybody,
I'm new in XDA-Developers and in the tablet/Android's world. I recently was trying to modify "vold.fstab" in order to change the way the tablet was installing the apps and unfortunately I made a mistake (although I followed all the steps). Now I am unable to access my external SD card, so I can't put anything there via PC or via recovery. I tried pressing the power button + home button to go into system recovery mode so I could reset the tablet but nothing happened.
Could anyone help me please? I would be very grateful if you could let me know any advice or attach me the original "vold.fstab". I've tried several codes and archives but my Freelander still does not recognises the external SD Card, only the internal memory.
Kind regards,

hello fellas!
i am having a serious issue with my novo 8 quadcore dicover tablet.
recently I flash my tablet to custom firmware with TWRP with the help of action PAD tool ... everything was perfect before and after flashing although I am using it with the custom firmware/rom. I connected it to pc and transfer some data to it.
at the same time my personal usb was also connected to my pc...i accidently formatted the removable storage of my tablet to fat32 filesystem instead of formating my usb drive using windows xp....
i am still having some issues with this custom rom so taht's why i decided to reflash my tablet back to its stock rom but unfornately an unknow issue come up in action pad tool that is DOWNLOAD_VMLX1_FAILED and now it stucked at 26% with the mentioned error...
few questions I really need to ask:
1.why this Download_vmlx1_failed occur on action pad tool whenever I try to flash my tablet?
2.what is the by default filesystem of internal sd card?
3.How could I flash my tablet back to its stock rom?
4.How to format internal storage using TWRP
and one more thing i.e. once I formatted my internal storage to fat32 then I lost access to my internal storage it says blank sd card unknown file system
and also unable to format
please help me..........
After a successful root attempt to my daughter's phone (LG escape 2 Lollipop 5.1.1) I wanted to expand the storage space with FolderMount with a 32gbs sd card but it didn't work so it restarted the phone. Once the phone restarts whenever I connect the phone to my PC I don't see it like I was before (MTP) the camera don't even connect because it says that its full (there's no pics on the phone) when I go to file manager there's no folders but when I got to settings then storage I see both internal sd and ext sd, So I try to do a factory reset and that seem to make it worse because now I can't even sign into google at all.... when I try to sign into my wi-fi and click next it just hangs there, can't proceed any further unless I skip it..... im at my wits end with this, has anyone else had this problem??
Thanks in advance!!
