Sorry if this has been adressed before, but i did use the search and i cannot quite figure out what to do next. I might have dropped my phone the other day, and since then none of my apps run from the SD becase it thinks that it was ejected. So, i wiped and installed a clean JackXrom again, and it was fine for about 20 min, then phone locked up, and when i restarted, i get the same problem. Should i format the partitions on the card perhaps? I was trying to avoid that, so any work around would be helpfull.

sounds like a corrupted partition try repair ext file systems if that dosent work youve got to format partition and reinstall all apps.
btw does youre fat32 partition work?

If it only happened once it shouldn't be an issue, but if it does it wouldn't hurt to format your ext.
In recovery
mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
rm -r /system/sd/*
I tried repairing my ext, no luck.
Whenever i try to mount in recovery console i get error : No such file or directory

Sounds like you need to delete the partition and make a new one, as it can't be read. If you're going to use parted from you're phone then you'll probably have to start over and recreate fat (and linux-swap if you had one) too. If you're using paragon or Gparted you should be able to recreate just your ext.
I cant recall which tutorial i fallowed, but it was all done through the terminal or recovery. Could you possibly point me to the right thread?

if you can remember the start and end of youre ext partition i think you can do this in parted by typing print then note down the start and end then type mkpartfs primary ext2 start - end

Here you go, follow the second section.
http://android-simplicity.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-6-how-to-partition-your-sdcard.html
Everytime i try to mount in recovery i get "mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: device or resource busy"
I'm lost.
pull your battery our for 30 seconds or so. remove your sd card then reinsert it and then try again. if that doesnt work then do what the others guys have said and try to reformat your sd card and start from scratch.

Actually, with Parted you can just rm and mkpartfs any partition you want without affecting the other partitions.
I bit the bullet and just formated all the partitions.
Thanks anyways guys.
My advice for next time or any body else reading would be to download a live CD for ubuntu or fedora or similar and boot your PC off that - it's graphical and v. easy.
Or just dump windows altogether and go for linux ;-)
Smiffy.

Yeah Gparted is amazing problem is then you have to walk the person through downloading, burning the image...which can be painful.
This is still happening, fresh format on sd card partitios and a wipe and clean install of Jacxrom.
Bad sd card? Or the phone?
JACxROM [v1.3]
I am attempting to flash to this ROM. Everything seems to go as describen in other posts, but when I power up the phone, I never make it past the splash screen. Any thoughts??
sorry

Bump, dead SD card?
partition corrupted anyway to recover?
I need help please!
I was running cyanogen 4.0.3.1 just installed today morning then changed theme to enoch 1.12 the newest one that worked fine. Updated the browser to loccys Then installed the HTC music and when finally rebooted the phone it was working fine until I noticed I had none of my apps on the sdcard.
All I have is syste/app folder which runs internally I think everything else does not work. It's like my sdcard is not in.
I shutdown rebooted and waited. Then removed sdcard rebooted and inserted the card one fully powered on and it is saying it wants to format it.
I get home turn my ubuntu system on and it detects it as a ext3 partition yet nothing inside. and now no fat32 partition or linux-swap.
anyways to recover or am I SOL?
After having apps working fine on my phone for a while now... a lot of the apps on my g1, once started, make me force close them.. apps include: anything that uses the accelerometer [except iliter?], lock 2.0, ringers extended.. and a bunch of other ones. I dont think the apps are corrupt considering that they have worked previousally and just started not working. Could the ext2 partition on my sd be full? I set the partition to 700mb and i only have about 20 apps or less.
Maybe somebody could advise on what this might be.. thanks!
Also, every time i turn my phone on i get process com.htc.calender stopped unexpectedly and asks a force close. it asks me to f.close it like 3 times when i first turn on the phone. YES I DID WIPE BEFORE FLASHING THIS ROM. Is there a way to just get rid of this process entirely? becuase after i force close if i go to calander in the menu it works.
what rom are you currently using? what was the rom you used before flashing to your current rom? did you try deleting your dalvik-cache? what about running fix_permissions?
I know when I went from a hero rom to cupcake, I had those same issues so if that is the same problem than you are gonna have to format your ext partion and reload your files, I know if you search the forums though there is a command that you enter in the terminal to just delete the files doing it to you
if you went from a hero rom to a cupcake rom then you need to go into the recovery console and type
Code:
mount /system
rm /system/sd/app_s/*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*
if that still does not fix it then you will need to just use
Code:
mount /system
rm /system/sd/*

Running Cyan 4.02 + 1.4 [before this was running JACHero] and no i didnt delete my dalvik-cache??? <--whats that?
It's where your system wipes anything, just type in the codes that were posted and you will be alright, hero leaves files on your ext partion that need to be removed because they do not work with the non hero framework, the code that was post will remove those files, you must type them in the recovery console and not terminal emu

Will give that a try! thx.
Is that going to delete any of my apps?
Also-- is there a way to confirm that my apps are being automatically installed on my SD?
It will not delete any of your apps just the left over hero junk. To conform just go into manage apps under settings and check the space that is free internal and see how much is used of your ext

went into manage apps in settings... how do i check the space used by the ext? Menu option only include sort & filter
ALSO i know i sound exteremly noobie.. but..
mount /system
rm /system/sd/app_s/*
rm /system/sd/dalvik-cache/*
Do i replace the *'s with something else, or am i to actually type "*"
Whoops I meant sdcard and storage, sorry bout that I have been up since 5 yesterday and is now 3 in the afternoon so on that note, nighty night. Good luck
ONe more ?
Everytime i type rm /system/sd/app_s/* it tells me cannot remove - no such file or directory.
says the same thing with the rm davvik-cahce thing.
and yes i am in console in recovery.
Try without the *.
Than it's quite possible that you might have to format your sd card, backup your files using I think using app manager and backup for root users, transfer your files onto your computer and format, be a real good time to set yourself up with a nice 96mb swap file. Don't feel bad I plan to reformat mine tomorrow just to get all the old crap off just to have a clean slate
Thank you david I must be tired I didn't notice when he asked about the * and I also said the dalvik cache wipes to your system instead of writes, just noticed that after I just reread my post
Using Cyan's tutorials on his wiki, I rooted successfully and am now running Cyan's latest, with his 1.4 recovery.
I finished running the apps2SD tutorial and now the print command reads 2 partitions

But I'm getting a notification as soon as it boots into android that says.
Blank SD card
SD card blank or has unsupported filesystem
All the amounts under SD card & phone storage settings menu reads: Unavailable. And my internal phone storage reads 46.82MB
Download the recovery image in my sig and use that parition manager.

I think I spoke to soon though. Everything works on the phone, but it wont mount on WinXP.
It mounts on my mac, but when i try to transfer anything to it it gives me an erorr.
The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in “data” can’t be read or written.
(Error code -36)
"data" (in parantheses) Is the name of the folder im trying to copy to the SD
Mount the file system as -rw, you should be able to find the commands on here some place. I use root explorer so I don't need to remember it =p.
Is it easier with root explorer? Mind telling me how to use root explorer to mount it as -rw like you said
It says remount as R/W.
to mount as r/w in terminal or adb shell:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
to mount as r/o in terminal or adb shell:
Code:
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

Today I launched twidroid and it completely ftoze the whole phone, non responsive even on the hardware buttons. I did a battery pull and upon restart the notification window says sd car blank or file system unsupported.
Tried browsing sd card with astro and it shows blank.
Any suggestions? I have a ton of photos and application settings I don't want to lose.

this happened on my g1
I know the poster was getting flack for having 2.01 on his droid but I have cyanogen 4.9...... whatever he's at as of 12/25/2009.
This happened to me I was sending an sms it froze I popped the batt like I've had to do in the past except this time I'm getting a blank sd card error on boot. B4 I repartition and format is there a recovery option? Preferably something I can do from console since I'm in transit from the holiday?
I imagine since we used similar procedures to fix our "smart" phones maybe our recover procedures will be similar.

I tried to format my sd card, i have tried with another card, and nothing; the same message!
I don't know what to do in this case....maybe if you have any solution to my problem.
Here is some info about my phone :
Model number : T-mobile G1
Firmware version: 1.6
Baseband version : 62.50s.17U_2.22.19.26I
Kernel version : 2.6.29-00479-g3c7df37 [email protected]#19
Build no : DRC92
anyone ? !!!!!!!!
i really need some help!!!!!
any solution to root without sd card ?
I am running ADP 1.6 and things have been working fine but lately I noticed the more apps I installed the slower my phone became, which led me to believe that the apps were being installed to the internal memory. Sure enough that was correct so I downloaded and installed apps2sd and everytime I open it up SU Permissions pops up but it just hangs. It doesn't permit me to allow or deny access. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to correct this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
Give us some more info:
Rom + Version?
Phone?
Sorry I am running AOSP-1.6_r1.4 + ADP DRD20 on a g1. I was thinking of wiping and reflashing but I really don't want to have to go through the process again.
I see.
Your ROM (AOSP-1.6_r1.4) has A2SD built in, as far as I know.
Therefore, I'd probably check to see if you have the necessary partitions on your SD Card.
1) Reboot phone and enter Recovery (Home + Power)
2) Go to the console
3) Hit enter and type:
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
4) Then type "print"
Please post what you see on the screen here.
Thanks.
I tried your code and this is what I got....
Model: SD (sd/mmc)
Disk /dev/block/mmblk0 : 7934 MB
Sector size (logical/physical) : 512b/512b
Partition Table: msdos
number start end size type file system flags

Ah, okay - so you have everything set up correctly.
Honestly - I don't know. You might want to try reflashing the ROM. I don't have much experience with AOSP-1.6, but from what I read, flashing won't cause a wipe. But, just in case, make a nandroid/android backup and try reflashing.
I'll look into this further. If I come across a possible solution, I'll post back.
So I don't need to wipe in order to reflash? I tried flashing the latest expansion pack but it gave me problems so I used nandroid back up to restore.
Try just the ROM itself (the Rooted Base):
http://www.androidspin.com/download...le=AOSP_ADP_1.6_r1.4_DRD20_rooted_base_v2.zip
Original Post
That is the one I am currently using and currently experiencing the SU problems with. When I first installed it I had no problems what so ever, so I think I will reflash with this rom again. I will let you know how it goes. Again thanks for your help.
It could be some minor issue on the phone's sys. files.
If you didnt flash yet, try fix_permissions (Terminal type: fix_permissions ). I don't know why I didn't think of that first, but its worth a shot.
If that doesn't work - i'd probably try flashing.
Sorry couldn't be more of a help.
Just reflashed... Still experiencing the same problems. I think I am going to have to wipe and flash again.

Don't worry you've already been a ton of help by helping me walk through a couple of steps. I tried the command and it says "permission denied"
Could that possibly mean that my phone is unrooted?

No, you just have to type "su" before "fix_permissions". Try fix_permissions from console in recovery mode. Actually, just reflash your ROM (no wipe), then try fix_permissions. You can also try moving apps+dalvik to sd to see for sure if apps2sd is working. If it's not, then all your market-installed apps will disappear (don't worry, they'll reappear once you get A2SD working properly). EDIT: Assuming you don't delete the apps from your sd by wiping ext or repartitioning, without backing up first
If doing all that fails, then wipe and reflash. If that doesn't work, try a different ROM. Download CyanogenMod, it is the gold standard. If A2SD fails in his ROM, then you know that something is wrong with your setup. Try repartitioning your sdcard, just to be sure.
Oh, and backup all the files on your sd, and do a nandroid backup, before you do ANY of this.
I went ahead and wiped and reflashed... seemed to solve the SU Permission problem but I am still experiencing problems with ap2sd. I downloaded a few apps and saw that my internal phone memory was being used instead of the sd. I might give cyanogen's mod a shot. I notice alot of people run it, is it a fairly stable rom?

I wiped and switched to CyanogeMod, the apps2sd is fixed but I still get a few problems with SU permissions. I noticed when I use SetCPU it asks for permission and I click allow but the app just hangs and eventually FC. Anyone know what could be the cause of this?
Hey, I got a Virgin Mobile HTC Desire 510. Y'know, the blue one....
I fudged up severely the other evening and installed another rom which bricked my phone. I did manage however restore a stock back-up I managed to find online, however the phone was still rooted, tampered and TWMP(did I get the abbreviation correct?) is still on it. So I go and install Supersu and Busybox in an attempt to go back to where I left off as I've been attempting to get the phone to do the internal to SD card bit but no success thus far, especially not right now. In anycase, after reinstalling Supersu, I load it up and get the message of "There is no SU binary installed and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem! If you just upraded to Android 4.3, you need to manually re-root. consult the relevant forums for your device.". I attempted to reinstall threw recovery and it seems to be working till I get the actual phone's Google ROM running and click on the SuperSU program only to get that message.
Any suggestions or advice on how to do this and get SuperSU back up? How do I exactly re-root or can I somehow install the binary via PC or flash?
Can the HTC Desire 510(Virgin Mobile version) even have the the script/rom/trick setting to have the SD Card used as Internal memory or is this quest just wasted time?
Thanks
EDIT- Device version is 0PCV1

Hello and welcome to xda,
Where exactly did you get the back-up from that you used to restore?
You were close it is TWRP or Team Win Recovery Project.
I believe the reason you can't install SuperSU is because you don't have a write protect removed kernel installed. You can find one here. Check out their related forums and see which one you like best. They are pretty much all great. Some aren't being supported anymore as a heads up. To flash a kernel, in case you didn't know how:
Go into Settings-About-Software information-More-Kernel version and write down the name of the Kernel
1. Power the phone down
2. Hold "Down" button then hold "Power" key while still holding "Down" button, until you get into the bootloader
3. Release "Down" and "Power" button
4. Tap "Power" key once and it will change from "HBOOT" in white letters with blue background to "FASTBOOT" in white letters with red background on your phone
5. Connect your USB cable and it will say "FASTBOOT USB" on your phone
6. Navigate to the folder you have your fastboot.exe from Android Studio or wherever you obtained it from (Mine is in C:\Users\myusername\Android\sdk\platform-tools)
7. Hold the "Shift" key then right click in any empty space in that folder
8. Select "Open command window here"
9. Type
Code:
fastboot devices
in the command window, then press Enter just to make sure it is picking up your phone
10. You should see something like:
Code:
HT42PXU89475 fastboot
if you don't make sure your USB cable is inserted all the way and you are in "FASTBOOT USB"
11. Make sure your recovery.img or whatever the name of the recovery is, is in the folder you are currently in
11. Type
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
in the command window
You should see something like:
Code:
C:\Users\yourusername\Android\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (12932 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.350s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 1.030s]
finished. total time: 2.385s
Your phone will still be in FASTBOOT USB mode
To test it out to see it was correctly flashed, reboot the phone
Go into Settings-About-Software information-More-Kernel version and see that the version changed
You can follow my little guide to use SD as Internal memory. Let me know if you need any help.
I won't be able to get to this til tomorrow but another issue is I can't d/l apps off Google play. It comes up with some server issue and some weird code that starts with an R. Sorry I can't give full details as I'm at work :/.

Is your phone completely stock or do you have any custom ROMs? I have seen errors like that.

I'm fairly certain I reinstalled Busybox when I was installing(or trying to) Supersu. I'm giving the kernel bit a shot.
Oh the stock back-up is this(No, I didn't back up my phone since I didn't see a reason, I had everything I needed on the computer/sd) file:
http//qc-.androidfilehost-com/dl/PObYV5uN55P2PGDNrX1pLQ/1430391523/95832962473396445/2014-12-02--16-24-34+KOT49H+Stock.not.rooted.rar
(can't post links since i'm a newb)
Had to make a backup of my empty phone and put the files into the empty back up to restore it.
UPDATE- Flashed over Modded Kernel V2.6.1 since that looked like a safe bet. Installed correctly. Tried to reinstall Supersu. Got "Android is upgrading". Supersu Installed. Next is the SD Card bit.

I'm sorry, please disregard that last comment. I was posting like your only problem was the Play Store. lol Sorry. But yea, check out those things I mentioned to you and you should be able to get SuperSU back up, if not I'll help you with anything else.

UPDATE 2- When partioning the sd card, it continues to come up as ext2. When I go into Link2SD and I go to select I get the message on whatever I select- "Mount script cannot be created. mount: invalid argument"

Are you using Aparted? What was the method you used to partition? You should partition as ext4.
Yeah, I downloaded Aparted, went in to partition the SD card("8" gigs) and selected ext4 but it comes out ext2. Do I need S-OFF and/or 4EXT Recovery?

Did you select Create then Format? If it still comes out ext2 after that, I don't know what the problem is. Format will take a while because it is creating journals.

It's saying the partition doesn't exist when I go to format after creating the partition. Even when creating the proper ext from the create screen, it still doesn't come up as ext4.
other info
device- /dev/block/mmcblk1.
when I opened up link2sd its asking me for mmcblk1p2 but there is no mmcblk1p2

Are you trying to partition the whole SDcard as ext4? To properly partition the card to be used with Link2SD you have to:
1. Delete the sdcard
2. Create a FAT32 partition of any size of your choosing
3. Format the FAT32 partition
4. Create an ext4 partition of any size of your choosing
5. Format the ext4 partition (this will take a long time, as it will create journals that are used to recover from an error such as removing the device while files are being copied)
After following those steps, Link2SD should properly create the script/mount and you should be able to link to your sdcard
If you are doing those steps perfectly and you still have an error, we have to find out another solution
Ok, I still can't get it to make Ext4......
However, weirdness- I made a Fat32 Partition and went into Link2SD. Link2SD was able to use/read the Fat32 partition. Tried to create/change the Fat32 and it didn't work. Tried to make a third partition under ext4 and it comes up ext2. Openned Link2SD and it doesn't read/use the ext2. Uses the additional Fat32 no sweat. I don't know how much of it is working(tried downloading Brave Frontier and had to delete loads of stuff in general) usual memory bull**** ensures and I see theres a lock for the full copy of Link2SD....
another thing; I can't get into/mount the open part of my SD card. Should I go back to square one or should I blow the meager 3 bucks for the full copy and see if I can do it from there?
PS- Does the class of the sd decide on if I can partition an ext3-4? Cause if so, mine is only a class 4 SD card.

I just made a couple of very simple tutorials to use Aparted and Link2SD and they are both working for me. Check them out: Aparted tutorial, Link2SD tutorial. I believe the ext2 that you are talking about is around the 10 second mark in the Link2SD video. Do you mean the /data/sdext2? That is just the name of the second sdcard partition.
If you can, you should buy the full copy of Link2SD to link external data and whatever other options become available.
The class of sdcard shouldn't have anything to do with the partition. That's just a classification of the speed of the card.
If needed, I'll make more videos to show exactly how everything is done. I think sometimes it is better to show than simply explain how something is done.
Hope this helps.
Wow.......I mean seriously, holy zen, it worked.
I had to start over from scratch since my f'ling screwed so much crap up but after everything was reinstalled and flashed and what not, It made the ext4. I don't know why the programming is so touchy you have to create it threw such weird steps but I believe it worked. Upgraded the link2sd. Next question and I'm pretty sure on the answer- Are you able to remove the SD card or is it perma-bound to the phone(IE- if I change SD cards around, will everything crash?)? Thank you so much

I'm happy it worked out good for you.
Yes, you are able to remove your sdcard. Be aware that your apps are on your sdcard so if you remove it, you remove them. They are placed on your sdcard and symlinked so Android thinks they are still on your phone in the place they would normally be. Nothing should crash, they just shouldn't show up. There is some great info about Link2SD here.
@blaqueknight..
nice videos man.
