Dear guys,
I have a very strange problem with my tab. The internal memory seems to be “read only” after restart.
Ai have this problem after I stopped a transfer between my laptop and the tab (a movie). The problem is that o can’t format internal memory, to fix any fat leaks. I try to wipe all, flash with every know firmware from h__p://w w w.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm, format internal memory from CWM. Every format command works (finish format ok),
I can used the space on tab (even accessing from laptop) but when I restart my tablet I have the old content.
My question is what the f__k is happened and who to fix it.
Many thanks in advance!
Any one??!?!?!
Any one??!?!?!
I can't help with the solution but fwiw I have exactly the same problem. Samsung's only suggestion was to send it in for repair but I'm hesitant to do that because all my data is still on the device. I've tried hard resetting it but everything comes back as soon as I reboot. I can remove or install application but they reset as soon as I reboot the Tab. I cannot make any kind of permanent changes to it.
It's very frustrating to say the least. Anyone have any suggestions for what would cause this? Mine is still a stock device with only a few market applications.
I also have some issues with internal "SDCARD" and that is that i cannot move anything onto it using andy SGT filemanagement system or the very bad KIES software. At the moment my external SD is full but the internal SD has like 14GB free and i cannot balance the storage!?!
If I move programs to SD will it me moved to internal or external SD and can I choose the setting?
The only way I managemd to move stuff into internal SD is to download files like films and music via DLNA over WiFi - those files are saved correctly were I want it...
any advise would be appreciated...
So this means that i can't repair my tablet?
I can't find any solution for this problem. and i believe that we are not the only one with this problem.
I send it to service... they replaced main board...
but canceled my warranty reason: unauthorized software intervention - root access
So... watch out for this. factory reset you tablet or mobile (if possible... in my case was not possible)
Thank you for your support.
I have the same
I have the same exact problem ,, anyone can help plz ??
Hi:
I´ve just discovered this forum. Hello...
Just the same problem here and Samsung doesn´t repair my device. Can you give me any help?
Regards
This is exactly the same problem I've encountered. Moments AFTER rooting the thing.
Which leads me to believe any and all warranty question is well out of the window.
Has anyone encountered a solution as yet?
I appreciate the posts above are a few months old so I'm hoping some sort of resolution has been found!
Same problem here too
Internal mem seems fine and you can delete things, but after reboot nothing is remembered.
Gave it to service (non samsung/carrier), They said that the p1000 is known for having bad internal memory problems.
They partitioned my 8GB external sd card and installed a Chinese MIUI rom 4.0.4 that is supposed to support installation and running from external SD mem.
The problem is they didn't remove the internal memory - so all old apps still exist there and can' t be removed (it probably mounts the internal mem and thinks it can write to it - but in practice nothing is written). So when i go to market and try to DL an app it says no memory left on device because it tries to put it on the internal mem and not the external.
Also, after reboot all the account setup wizard screen settings are forgotten and you need to redefine everything again.
I saw a thread on XDA that explains you need to remove the internal SD mem physically (and explains how to do it) but i am a little afraid to do it...
Anyone else try this ?
Also strange you need to change the whole MB for a faulty memory, why can't the internal mem just be replaced ?
Hi, please keep all question/help related threads in the Q&A section only. Thank You.
Thread Moved.

Allready tried to reformat it from the diamond? If this not work, perhaps this tool can help: http://flash-format.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
If both fails it is really dangerous to have a corrupt file-system on the diamond.

Thanks for the tip!
I traied to format whith the diamond but it says that its missing nand flash?
Take a look, if the internal storage has the same name as before. If not, perhaps you can rename it from the pc via active-sync. Good luck!
Nobody else with an idea about this? If nothing works for the threadstarter, this means: as soon as the FAT of your internal storage gets corrupt, (whyever) you have bricked your device more or less, (at least reduced the memory to a laughable tiny amount).
If this is the case, it can only be a very, very bad joke of HTC. It's like you have a big button in Windows Vista wich destroys your harddisk and nowhere is a warning sign or a safety-mechanism - that can't be true, or? (Its not a good example, cause you can exchange a PC's harddisk).
I think there are a lot of reasons, why a FAT can get corupted. (Tools on the PDA, sudden power-loss) and I'am wondering if no one here is a little bit concerned about this.
I've used the 2GB SD-card in my last PDA over a long period and during this, it was several times corrupted, so that I had to reformat it.
In the German PPC-Welt forum someone has posted the same issue, he returned his device, but this is only possible in the first two weeks, at least in Germany.
1. When you hard reset you have the option to format Internal Storage.
2. You have the option to format Internal Storage in Clear Storage in settings.

He can only format the storage, if it is found by the device. Obviousley this is not the case. Perhaps renaming helps. In this (German) thread, the same problem has been discussed: http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=133023&highlight=fat32
Finaly ther user in this thread was able to format the storage but it was still not correctly recognized by his apps.
I hope the creator of this thread has more luck.
I have a tricky problem with the internal storage (Internal SD Card).
No changes are possible to perform. No format, wipe or whatever worked.
For instance, after every boot-up the uninstalled apps are back, no pictures can be taken by the camera and so forth...
I found other people with the same problem, so I'm certainly not the only one with this problem.

What about non Samsung phones?
For an unknown China phone that is?
Hello All,
Suddenly have the “Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD card” problem. Quite a bit of information on the net on how to solve it, but it isnt doing it for this tablet.
I can not unmount the sdcard prior to installing/updating apps, theres simply no option for that in the setting->storage.
Second solution is to delete a file called "smdl2tmp1.asec" from one of two paths, but that file is not there.
I attached the tablet to the PC, but just see the "sdcard", not the internal memory.
I have CM10, from this forum.
Hope anyone can help me... Slowly my apps are being killed of by this problem, swiftkey and officesuite pro tried to update today, and can not even be opened anymore since...
Thanks,
Jeroen
Not sure what tab you have, but dies it have an external sd card? Internal is probably the same as sd card. It is on the i957.
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round
I have the samsung 8.9 wifi tab. No external sdcard I can take out, just one that shows up as sdcard under /mnt/.
The tab is not dying on me, justn some apps show mthe error on updating them.Then afterwards those apps are not just updated, they're gone completely. I tried deleteing all dirs that I could find that seems associated with them, but the error still exists, I still get that same error on installing the app.
Thanks for replying, hope this clears up my poor description of the problem
OK, I did a full wipe and flashed CM10 and gapps, but the problem still exist. Installing apps gives me this problem... Anyone an idea?
Maybe the internal sdcard or memory is simply broke? But if so, why would the system install without problems?
Aww, my loved tab 8.9....

for whoever this is going to be useful, it turned out to be a kernel issue. Some developer confirmed it for me. so I fixed it in the end by installing a stock rom, the problem kept returning with non stock Roms...
So my Galaxy Note has just stopped seeing the internal usb storage. I have a 32GB SD Card installed and can read that fine but the internal USB storage has unmounted itself somehow. When I go into settings and storage and try to mount the usb storage, it does not work, it just flashes up with "Preparing USB storage" and then nothing happens.
File explorers can't see the usb storage but can browse the SD Card fine. Some aps are running, some do not run properly as a result (eg Swiftkey keyboard works but can't access text prediction etc).
Presumably a file is corrupt somewhere and stopping the phone from reading the internal storage somehow but I am not very techy.
It is running the stock Samsung firmware with Android 4.1.2. I've turned the phone off and on a couple of times, taken the battery out etc.
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Maybe formatting it is the last option if changing ROM doesn't help.
I haven't tried a factory reset yet, that is probably the next step. However, will that effect the EMMC bug? I guess the other alternative is to flash with a ROM, probably the same one I have now but as I have no experience of doing that, I will need to take some time to read up on the process etc.
Thanks E.Cadro for moving the thread.
Hello, I'm currently facing the same issue as well. For no rhyme or reason, the internal phone storage is not detected. Trying to find ways to salvage the memory as there are some stuff that's not backed up.
Does any one have any tips on fixing it before trying the last resort of formatting to factory settings?
Some details:
Stock samsung firmware running 4.1.2
Not rooted

I'm just not seeing why a factory reset is such a big deal (from a safe kernel of course)
So you have to spend 20 minutes setting up the phone again...

Point is to try to save the storage as I have mentioned, some things (photos and stuff) have not been backed up yet.

I resolved the problem by doing the factory reset. Not such a big deal but lost some data in the process that I could not back up because of the internal storage not being mounted. In my case the data I lost was not such a big deal as most of my important stuff was on the ext sd card or in a cloud somewhere.
After the reset, the note is obviously like new and running very smoothly. Makes me think I should do a reset every so often to clear out apps that accumulate and just to give the phone a fresh start.
Hi, before the yelling...
Yes! I've searched for days about how can I install a rom in the microSD, but I could not find anything useful.
I got a problem with my i9000, it doesn't boot at all (bootloop), when trying to wipe, it fails, shows problems at formatting, when trying to install a new rom, it fails, so after reading for days, I found that, the internal memory is corrupted/damaged, so the only thing I was able to do was remove (with heat) the internal memory and install a new rom inside the external microSD.
But that's the problem, so far, I've removed the internal memory without problems, but now, I can't find an useful guide that shows how to install the rom in the external microSD... :crying:
Can someone help me? I know I just lost all my data, that's not important, I want my phone back again... and sending it to Samsung is not a choice (I live in Venezuela and here doesn't exists an official Samsung support)...
Thanks for reading...
Read this and this.
