[Q] Help! Internal SD-Card read-only

I have a problem and found this unanswered question in the internet:
Hello,
so I have a rather big problem here. My internal SD-card on my I9000 does not accept any changes(delete/write/move).
The funny thing is that I can actually copy files to my sd and delete files. I can even format it(from recovery mode, windows, menu) whatever I do seems to work till I reboot. After every reboot my system is back to the state before I changed anything.
I tried everyway I could think of. Changing permissins via adb shell, installing file system fixes via adb push(to my surprise it did allow me to copy files directly into /system as long as I did it while in recovery mode).
I even tried several different firmwares. No matter what I do it's the same, no changes are permanent. As soon as I reboot every change is gone.
This feels like working with oracle and forgetting to commit.
Is there a way to format the sd card via adb shell? Preferably a low level format(since the quick format doesn't seem to do anything). Or some sort of forced flush for the sd card? Some way to just clear my internal sd should do the trick.
Every solution I found on the internet didn't work.
What does work is the download mode, the recovery mode and adb.
I sure hope someone has an idea. It's rather unpleasent being unable to change anything on the internal sd.
My problem is exactly the one stated above, and I have tried pretty much everything I found in the internet, including running Ubuntu live cd and format/partition/etc, but the problem persists.
I need one of 3 possibilities:
1 - Someone tell me what is wrong and how to fix
2 - Since Internal SD is unchangeable, would like to know how to make /data and /sdcard to be mounted on external sd at boot time (probably some changes at firmware or kernel).
3 - Someone tell me that it is broken and cannot be repaired by software, must be hardware serviced.
Really thanks in advance

Same problem!
i do have the EXACT same Problem!!!! Any solution jet?

Got a similar problem with my Galaxy Tab... Anyone found a solution yet?

friend of mine has a htc and uses a program called superwipe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812
dont know if it will work on the galaxy s though, but coukd be worth a read through the notes and posts

Wow . I have a similar problem. Although EVEN more troublesome.
Inaddition to all this
I cannot even DELETE the alarms taht i set before having this problem. I cannot Install the apps as well.
Uninstalling the ones - and they reappear the next time I boot.
Need Serious HELP on this.

My phone is restricted to ONLY making calls and sms. Thats all.

I have the *EXACT* same issue here. Only with a Sprint Galaxy Tab. My reboot is fresh and gives me "nothing" every time I boot no matter how much I configure. I can't write anything to the internal SD card or make any new folders.

I have a different problem. My internal sd seems slow. Anyway, I must feel lucky.

If you look at page 15 of the following datasheet, you will notice that the moviNAND can be set in a "write-protect" mode:
http://web3032.sh1.magic2008.cn.m1.magic2008.cn/uFile/3032/201144131545503.pdf
See if you can read the CSD register data on your phone, and mingle with it.
Good luck.

Any one fix this
Any one fix this I have the same problem

Yesterday I gave the soluction, but someone deleted my post.
EDIT!!
Sorry, I wrong topic!!!! Sorry!!!!

Sorry - no - I had to start from scratch, my thougt was too many files on the ext card But I not sure and cannot recall - My phone is working good now. Only advice is to reinstall from scratch

I am also facing the same problem on my galaxy nexus after upgrading to KK using custom ROM. Any solution?

(q) (neeed helppp!) please! :(

Hello, just wanted to discuss a quick issue im having with my Samsung Captivate.
So its been about a few weeks since ive been on Phoenix's latest rom (js8). Ive been having the urge to go on to a gingerbread rom so i clicked on to the installation steps on how to flash the latest Miui rom (1.5.6 RC8b) So i finished the first step which was step 4 (since 2.2 roms start out at step 4) On the second step after i finished formating everything and going to Flash Miui RC2.zip. I noticed i put the Miui RC2.zip and RC8b file on my External SD card and not my internal SD. I cant flash the Miui RC2.zip file because my phone wont locate it in the Install From Zip option. Im pretty much stuck in the Orange Clockwork Mod recovery now. The other thing that sucks is i cant mount my phone (usb wise) to try and move the files back into my internal SD so i can download the files to continue on to the next step. I really need help! seriously. Ive already tried moving the files in Android/ music folders/ data/ in my external SD card, but the phone wont recognize it in those folders. Really need help please! I dont want to stay in recovery forever!! :/

the DEV are isnt the place to ask for help!
use CWM
mounts and storage> mount USB
copy files from pc to X:/sdcard/ this time!!!!
flash it.
next time post QUESTIONS IN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next time post QUESTIONS IN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Download Odin one click and go back to stock (2.1), then go back to the MIUI page and start at step one.

and what does
"Ive already tried moving the files in Android/ music folders/ data/ in my external SD card, but the phone wont recognize it in those folders."
have anthing to do with your problem?
music? huh
you are flashing a rom
roms can only be flashed from internal sd card.
from sdcard folder or below. not above

I'm just in big need of help, ill remember next time not too. If you didn't read it all, i said that i couldn't get it to work using mount storage/ mount usb. My computer isn't recognizing the device , and i have my Samsung drivers on my computer, so idk why its not working.

I was just saying to see if i could at least make it possible, and i found it out it couldnt. I cant get it back in my internal SD directory.

fuhhhhhhhhhh* i really have to go back to 2.1? i guess i have no choice :/

You could also set you phone to download mode and Odin whatever tom and kernel you like. Miui is still beta, I suggest you use either stock GB or the other custom ROM.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

Thanks for the suggestions killer! to everyone else, i went back to mount usb/ like TR told me to do, i restarted my computer and plug it in usb and it worked, put files back and flashed, im on miui, thanks for the help and the suggestions!

Got almost the same problem earlier today (not with CM though).
A restart solved that problem (for now). Have you tried that?

Same error (Please Insert SD Card before using the camera.)
please help me friends .

Has there been any kind of notification telling you that your SD is corrupt?
Can you see your SD card in a file manager?

Do you even have an SD card? CM does the internal storage differently.

I'm surprised that Cyanogenmod install can be done without a physical external SD card.
It's mandatory to have an external SDcard to use Cynogenmod, even if your internal SDcard is empty.
There are complicated things to do as mentionned above to switch internal and external mounting points for Cyanogen but I can guess this can be tricky for someone not used to those things....
So:
- buy a sdcard, even a small one, internal sdcard still can be used for multimedia files and so on, and is mounted as /mnt/emmc (grab Astro File manager for exemple to see it) and is concerned by media scanning.
- flash back stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849) if you didn't made a Nandroid backup before flashing CMod.
- flash another optimized Froyo rom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849 there are some)
- Didn't try Paul Modaco's Gr2, based on official Lg leak 2.3.4, perhaps its mouting points are more conventionnal; but Gr1 pre-baked didn't went good for me as there were no SIM card detection (probably missing some APN related files or so...) so I jumped to CyanogenMod Nightly.

I just bought an O2x with CM7 RC1 already installed.The camera doesn't work (Please insert an SD card before using the camera) and my computer doesn't find the phone when i connect the USB cable(it says it's charging but nothing happens on the phone or the PC). I tried installing LG Pc Suite and the official software on the LG site(mobile updater) and the USB driver seems to be installed but nothing happens when i connect the phone.
What should i do? Should i flash a newer CM7 nightly or a stock firmware? (i have literally no idea how to do that, i'm going to have to read some tutorials).Can i do that if i can't connect the phone via the USB cable? Is there another way?

Yeah flash a newer version, RC1 is quite dated. In the new nightlies you can make internal storage replace the SD card.
You can update the drivers with the LG Mobile Support Tool, PC Suite isn't compatible with CM7.

I installed LG Mobile Support Tool, still nothing. The battery is "Charging" but nothing else happens on the phone/pc. Can i flash a newer version if i can't use the usb to connect to the phone?
Edit: The phone has ROM Manager 4.3.2.3 installed and when i start it: "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager."

I suspect you don't have an SD card, only internal storage. You can't use ROM Manager with that on RC1.
Try the drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...elease-103521-20110725/page__view__getnewpost

No, i don't have external SD card. The phone already had CM7 when i bought it. So i just have to download those 3 files and follow the tutorial?
I also found this tutorial and it has that AP BIN thing in plus. Which one to follow? I would be happy to install stock froyo if everything works on it.

Which one to follow depends on what you want for your phone. Personally I'd use CM7.

Ok , i'm gonna go with CM7. If i follow that tutorial(the one you posted) what exactly i'm gonna have on my phone? What does it do? Don't i have to install a newer CM7 nightly build?
This tutorial doesn't say what to put in the AP Bin box, i just leave it blank?

If you go with CM7 then you have to install via recovery, not Smartflash, completely different process.
Download the newest version from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
Save to your phones internal SD card
Update recovery (unless already on 4.0.0.9 or higher)
Reboot to recovery (can use ROM Manager for that)
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip
Select the CM zip and pick yes
Reboot
In the CyanognenMod settings, in the top option (i foget what it is now) tick 'use internal storage'
Reboot again and you're away

"Save to your phones internal SD card" How am i gonna do that? I can't use usb to connect the phone.

Oh, have you not sorted that yet? Bugger.
Try running mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard from the terminal, with any luck this will make your internal SD /sdcard and you should be able to download CM via the phone. You can also use ROM Manager to install it then as well.

[Q] SD Card not installed

Hi guys,
I recently bought a HTC One, I rooted it cause I wanted to change the htc icon to being operational so then flashed the kernel teaMSeven-sense-4.2.2-kernel-v2.1.4.zip. All appeared to be fine but now I am being told that I have no SD card installed so I can't access my photos, use my camera or access the Dropbox app properly. I presume there are some other issues but can't be sure yet. When I connect my computer to my laptop I can access the internal storage without a problem. When I go to recovery mode and go to Advanced - File Manager - sdcard I can see all the folders. Also when I go to mount and try it first gave an error that usb-otg couldn't mount and now it hangs at updating partition details.
Please help!

your sd card is there. there are some fixes in the development section. Take a look there

try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1YiI-ZZGBs

USB OTG is not your internal storage.

I had the same issue and that video is far too complicated for what you actually need to do.
This is what I did when I upgraded from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 on my HTC One.
Issue: You will have a new place for your data now. The default under 4.2.2 is now /data/media/0. Under 4.1.2 it was /data/media. Notice the extra /0 - that's for a multi-user environment.
Resolution: Needs root access, of course.
1. Install ES File Explorer
2. Enable ES File Explorer to have root under it's settings.
3. Navigate to /data/media
4. Ta-da! All your old files are there! NOW...
5. Select and move your files that you want to keep from /media/data to /media/data/0
This worked for me 100%. My free storage was only 2.58Gb with a fresh 4.2.2 install. Because I moved all my wanted files across and deleted all the other legacy items, it's now about 13Gb free.

Used the youtube vid so thanks for that osmosizz, worked well and thought me a bit in the process like getting your java paths right!!
Will try your method Joe if this happens again, cheers

i found the solution. if you did a backup it will work. in cwmr you navigate: backup and restore and confirm,than navigate to advanced restore and confirm. you will get a backup file,confirm on that file,now navigate to restore sd-ext and confirm and wait.after done,reboot. now works with no problems. i had same problem,i downloaded 5 roms for htc from this site(developers) and all have same annoying thing with external card. if i restore my whole system always work.so problem are those roms,something is not made it properly sigh.
