internal memory with problem | does not save or delete anything - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After installing a custom kernel on my S4 MINI DUOS, it was not starting, so I came back with the kernel stock, but now I can not save, download, or delete files from the internal memory when I take a picture of the screen that appears
"Can not save the screen image. USB storage may be in use"
Also the camera also does not work, "camera error" among other problems as xposed accuses nd internal sd card
is there any solution to this problem? reinstalling the rom stock would cause the problem to be solved?

Well you shouldn’t be messing around with kernels. Now you will have to back EVERYTHING up to the cloud, and perform a factory reset. Restore all your data after resetting.

[Q] i9100 memory not writeable after installing 4.1.2

Hello
I installed JB 4.1.2. After that there are problems with writing to sd card / phone memory.
Different apps give different error messages. They say that memory is full and suggest to delete something or storage full or unavailable.
Memory is not full there is 10 GB free room.
I connected phone to PC and tried to copy file to SD card and phone memory. It failed without error message in both cases - it just keep copying...
I can delete files from SD card. I can't delete files through PC from phone memory: "Cannot delete filename: The storage is write-protected. Remove the write-protection and try again."
I used SD card in PC with sd card adapter - it worked perfectly.
I tried ROM Manager -> Fix permissions. It gave error message "An error occured while attemting to run privileged commands!"
Can anyone help to fix the problem?
How did you upgrade to jelly bean? If you flashed using a Custom Recovery, then you could boot back into it and look for the Fix Permissions option.
If you used Odin, you could flash a custom recovery and run fix permissions or wait for someone who knows more about this.

Managed to boot into CWM recovery and fix permissions but it didn't help.
Fixing permissions in CWM recovery didn't gave any error messages. ROM Manager -> fix permissions still gives error message.
Seems like some app/process/etc is blocking the sd card.
If I boot up the phone then I can access for example Dropbox files. At some moment (after ca 3 minutes) it fails to retrieve files anymore and sais "storage full or unavailable".
Still looking for help to solve the problem.
Saying "I flashed JB 4.1.2" means absolutely nothing, nada, zip, ziltch. We have MANY roms that are JB 4.1.2. When informing people of what rom/kernel you're using you need to be specific.
In any even it sounds like you have corrupted your internal memory. Try formatting internal sd/emmc in cwm. Once done re-flash rom.
If that doesn't work you will need to find pit file for your specific sgs2 model (which you also failed to mention).
re-flash & wipe.

Hi there,
Have you solve the storage problem? i'm having a similar issue, I can access the internal storage and the SD Card correctly, but some time after powering on (some times as low as one hour, and some times as high as one day) there is a message telling me that I cannot save anything to my internal storage, and from the view in ES Explorer, the write permissions over /sdcard are changed to read-only.
After rebooting the phone I can write again, and then from nowhere the problem appears again.
I've tried reflashing, wiping, removing the SDCard, not installing apps, but the problem continues.
I'm on the Stock JB ROM (XWLS8).
Anybody is seeing something similar?
Thanks!

My solution was wipe and reinstall. So far, so good - it works now.

[Q] Internal SD Card Issues

I believe something is wrong with my Internal SD. Whenever I take a picture with my phone camera, regardless of the camera app, the image doesn't save. When I take a screenshot, I get a notification that says "Couldn't save screenshot. Storage may be in use." My external Micro-SD card is currently not connected, so the issue is with the Internal-SD. I recently did a factory reset of my phone, but did not wipe the Internal-SD. I then restored all my apps that I had backed up with Titanium Backup Pro. A few hours later, I tried to take some picture with the camera but they didn't save.
In some attempts to fix the issue I rebooted into TWRP and wiped some things. First I cleared the Cache and Dalvik-Cache. Then I wiped and formatted the Internal-SD. Upon rebooting I discovered the image saving still didn't work. I was thinking about using Titanium Backup Pro to freeze all the running apps on the phone, defrost the camera app, and then try to take a picture to see if an app was constantly using the Internal-SD. I did not do this for a fear of possibly bricking the phone.
I could use quite a bit of help on this one.

Help needed in recovering Internal Memory data!

Hello guys,
I was using DorimanX v 119 10 series along with Slim Saber 08/24 release, then yesterday when the battery was around 18% it turned off randomly.
When I turned it on, I saw I was not getting options for Dual Boot and it took me straight to Primary ROM where it showed a message Internal Memory Damaged, format it on the notification bar.
Tried opening Titanium Backup and other apps to backup but SDCARD0(internal storage) was not mounted anywhere.
Restarted the phone and now its getting stuck on DorimanX logo.
Tried mounting from recovery and doesn't seem to work..
Is there anyway possible to recover my data? There are lots of information and photos that I need in that internal memory
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
had that happen to me more than once on kitkat.
are you able to mount usb in recovery?
tried this?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108
i went back to my jellybean backup and copied everything over to my computer.
I would be interested to hear how you are doing on this?
I recently had a crash on my S2 with the same version of DorimanX.
Had you repartitioned?
Thanks for your input guys.
@rgomia, the internal memory still shows corrupted and not able to read from it even from Aroma file manager
Actually I tried flashing slimsaber again and I could boot but still the internal memorys not readable from any file manager. Looks like I'll have to repartition it.
Was looking to somehow recover those lost data, but doesn't look like there's a chance
Reformatting worked and everything back to normal, Since I'm gonna get Redmi 1S anyway, I'll stay on slim kernal and use this as a backup phone. 5 years of important data and photos lost in the process :/
If your phone is bootable you should just mount it on your PC and run a file recovery program.
Your pictures are usually stored on your primary SD card.

Galaxy S2 Cm12.1-20150909 problem with internal storage

Hi,
I just noticed strange thing when prowling in ESFile Explorer. My LOST.dir folder "takes" whole 143GB of data. I noticed that when I was cleaning my phone with SD Maid - when scanning it shows "only" 15GB ready to delete, but it finally fail every time. In Disk Usage it also shows so gigantic LOST.dir folder. Nor CCleaner help too. I rebooted my phone twice, but it gave no result.
The last few days I was playing N4S:NL, today it failed a couple times during the loading screen, so I decided to reinstall it. Suprisingly during the uninstallation process it didn't ask me if I want to uninstall data folder of the app too.
I can connect the phone to a PC with no issues, I thought that deleting LOST.dir in Windows Explorer can help, but I was mistaken.
Does any one have some advice what should I do? I would rather not to reflash the ROM or wipe it in recovery.
up
Anyone?
Can't you delete lost.dir folder manually using some file manager? Have you tried formatting the internal storage (Yes you will need to backup your files before doing this)? If this doesn't work, I recommend using a pit file to reconfigure all partitions on your phone, just make sure to backup!
Regards, gsstudios
No, it is impossible to delete it in i.e. ESFile, it fails everytime. Now it became even worse, I got permanent notification, which says that i'm running low on memory and some system functions may don't work. In fact they don't, I can't take a screenshot, some apps fails to run.
Last time I updated CM with this built-in function, it replaced CWM with some CM Recovery. It is poor with its few options. There is no option to backup or flash rom. It's a shame because I have a backup taken just after flashing fresh LP.
I tried to format data/factory reset in there - no result.
After all I decided to switch back to CM11, this time with 4GB pit file. I remember it to be better optimized (it was running smoother on my phone) than CM12.1. The only thing I didn't like was that issue with music stopping to play randomly. Hope it will work flawlessly, but waiting for some stable 6.0 rom

Need help - i9100 doesnt show /data or has access to it

Hi.
I did something wrong. Very wrong and now i need help from you, the experts.
I've been trying out the new roms (minimalos, cm13, xpe) and once i went in recovery and did a "format "/data". I have no idea why i did that. After that, the phone wouldnt go to os. Tried several things. And now, for example, cwm couldnt show any data. I could flash a new rom but that was all. Tried repitting with I91001GB_4GB.pit or the original one and no difference (heimdall). I had enough of all and i flashed back to stock from sammobile but the problem persists - no data avaliable or internal sd. If i try to take a photo in stock it says "turn off usb storage before using camera".
Mainly, the problem is that i cannot access internal or external storage (well, microsd is accessible via recovery). Nothing shows up in filemanager (stock or cm13) and i cannot use any app that uses storage of anykind (camera, filemanager,...).
Any advice of whats the next step of fixing this back to normal?

Format internal sd card(sdcard0) as default(vfat) from recovery and you should be able to access internal storage again
