Hi all
I rooted my phone today. I then installed clockworkmod and saved a stock backup. Following that, I successfully enabled 3 button recovery.
My problem appeared either after rooting or after clockworkmod. The problem was there prior to enabling 3 button recovery. I suspect it was clockworkmod that caused the problem.
Anyway, when I connect the phone to the computer the 16gb internal sd card & 2gb phone storage appear as removable drives in 'my computer'. However, double clicking on the drives gives the message 'no disk in the drive, please insert one'. Windows can't read the usable file space, browse or even format the drives.
However, I can browse the internal sd card fine using any android file manager.
Also, I can use adb to push/pull files.
What is going on?
I need to know quite quickly what to do. I initiated a phone repair with my carrier due to the mtp crash bug, so they are expecting it to be returned pronto. If the phone is stuffed, I'll send it back. If this can be fixed, I'll keep it since I managed to get the three button recovery working.
Also, I think there's a boot rom or something to do with clockworkmod still installed? How do I get rid of that if I'm sending the phone back. I know how to unroot.
Edit: I just found an external sd card to test. I formatted it in windows by using a sd card reader, then when I plugged it into the phone and tried it as a mass storage device windows didnt like it. Putting it back into the card reader one last time and windows recognised it. Makes no sense....
Edit2: In kies mode, kies can access it. And also it adds a 'galaxy s' to my computer where the internal sd card actually works... now I'm even more confused!
Have you tryed formatting your internal Sd or useing recovery 2e and factory resetting your phone?
I've tried formatting it and reset via settings->privacy->factory reset data.
Is 3 button recovery any different to the above type of reset? What will it roll the system back to?
(The recovery image I made in rom manager will have the same problem. I dont currently have an update.zip on my sd card due to formatting it, but I can get one on there using adb if I need to.)

Is your usb debugging on by chance? If so, turn it off ans reconnect the phone to the pc.
Mine does this when usb debugging is on and im on a stock eclair rom... Hope it helps...

That thought occurred to me too. Definately off. Ive checked it many many times now
When I first used adb, I simply pulled the plug out. I couldn't see any 'quit debug' command. There are start/kill server commands, they dont seem appropriate. Doesnt look like I should have had to do anything other than just pull the cable out.
Update:
I think that the update.zip's applied to my phone have changed some software to an earlier version that what my unit was shipped with.
When I first got the phone, I just plugged it into the pc and selected 'mass storage' on the phone. The drives then appeared (and worked) in windows.
Now, I have to click mass storage. That on its own isnt enough. But if I pull-down the tray menu at the top of the screen, there is another option to click (something along the lines of 'select this to transfer files between your phone and pc'). If I click that, it works.
There are some slight differences still:
1) I could swear that my phone originally allowed access to the 2gb phone internal memory (I never tried reading/writing to it, but I'm convinced windows displayed a 2gb drive).
2) I used to get the "xx/13.4gb free" under the drive letter in 'my computer', which I now only get in the status bar at the bottom of windows file explorer.
QUESTION
Does everybody else have to click "mass storage mode" AND pull down the task bar and click "transfer files" to get the internal sd to work as mass storage in windows?
Or do they just have to click "mass storage mode" and that's all?
Thanks
I always had to pull down the menu and manually mount the sd card when using mass storage.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
Definately wasnt the case on my phone (bought mid october, so its quite new) because I got my music on there via mass storage twice before 'hacking' it. I couldn't have done that without knowing about the extra buttons to press. It's good to know that it's just a side effect of the update.zips I've applied, and that I get to keep the phone

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.

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?

Galaxy Tab 2 running on blisspop rom
I have to reboot every time this happens. The error message in mx player shows cannot write to internal sd..
Es xplorer cannot delete any item. Terminal emulator shows mount as read only
Any way to fix this?
Gday, Well I have spent 3 days searching, researching, trying, flashing, rooting, rummaging and swearing... and am back to exactly where I started, so going to go out on a limb, and ask for help:
I have my sisters old Galaxy S I9000, when booted up it force closes pretty much everything, all her apps she has on it, all google related apps including Market.
Factory reset via phone (privacy menu) option, recovery menu option, and dialler code option do nothing. By that I mean they say they are working, the phone reboots, yellow text suggests everything is being formatted and wiped, and then it reboots to exactly the same state.
I have flashed various 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 firmwares, same result.
I have trie to flash custom ROMs, but can't because of the other problem; the USB storage appears to always stay unchanged no matter what I try to remove from it, or add to it (eg. zip files for installing). On my PC I can see the rive, and I can drag/drop zip files to it, I can even delete all the folders if I want, but when I disconnect the cable, the USB Storage in the phone is EXACTLY the same as it was before I connected it to the PC....
SOOOOOOOOOOO Frustrated....
I've searched high and low, forums galore, many seem to have had one problem or another, but nobody seems to have had exactly the same problems in their entirity. Even the forum I read about fixing the 'protected' USB storage suggested flashing a patch, which is a zip file, which is impossible for me to do as I can't write to the USB storage...
Your insight/wisdom/assistance o nthis matter would be GREATLY appreciated! Cheers in anticipation..
By the way, I am definitely talking about USB storage, the internal type, not my external sd card, I have had that removed for the last day or so to avoid any confusion. I currently have XXJPY 2.2.1 on the phone if that helps bt can change it to anything else that s Odin flashable if need be.
You say you had a patch thats a zip... If you have the external sd card put it on that, and then go recovery and install the zip, or however else you need to. Does it need to be on the internal sd card?
Or do you mean you can apply the zip but because you cant write to it it makes no difference?
Any chance your still on stock firmware then?
I can put zip on external SD card but when i choose install zip from card within recovery menu it shows USB storage folder, not external SD contents. Can't put zip file on USB storage as it wont let me write to it (even though it shows on my PC as having been added ok, at least up until i remount)
If xxjpy is stock firmware then i might be, but have tried several others and had same result. If u can recommend a different firmware ill happily dload and flash.
Im running darkcore, and the rom you see below, im not sure which CWM this is but i just checked with update from zip/sdcard and yes it showed me the internal sd card but just look for external sd, itll appera like everything else and i could go into it. So if it doesn't work in your current recovery menu, try install another one.
I've tried a few different recovery versions now, none show external SD card contents. But if i understand ur post correctly, ur suggesting that the external SD card shows within the USB storage list, like one of the folders on the USB storage? If that is the case, the only one it could be is /SD? But there is nothing in that, whereas there are several folders and zip files on my external SD card...
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Note n7000. I've hopped around a bit, but recently I've tried to move (back) to JB based CM10 (nightly) and also AOKP (JB Milestone 1).
For both CyanogenMod and AOKP, I quickly came across the issue that most apps can't see any storage folders. This includes:
-Browser and Chrome can't save files as there's 'No storage'.
-Google Maps won't cache anything.
-The camera and gallery won't work because they can't see any storage.
-When I plug the phone in to a PC via USB, the phone is identified, but no storage folders come up, regardless as to whether I'm using MTP or MS.
-In the system settings under storage, it can see the 2GB for my app Data partition. It says there's a 32GB SD card available, but under the Internal Storage heading, clicking 'Mount SD card' flashes up something in the notification bar before looking like nothing happened. There's nothing about the internal ~10GB partition either.
However, if I go into a file browser, I can see both the internal storage mapped as /storage/sdcard0 and the SD card mapped as /storage/sdcard1. I believe this is how JB is now mapping storage now? Why is it confusing itself?
Note:
-I can see the storage in CWM without issues (although internal and SD might be reversed???).
-I can read the files fine from a file manager, so there's nothing wrong with the SD card as far as I can tell. It works fine in an SD card reader too.
-I tried AOKP first after a full wipe (factory, data, davlik), hit the issue. Tried CM10 which was the same. Tried AOKP again with a factory wipe before and after flash and it still didn't work.
I've been trying to find a solution for nearly 2 weeks now! Please help before I give up and flash back to a Samsung based ROM!
For history:
I've had the GNote unlocked for a while and I've played with a few ROMs including CM9, earlier releases on CM10 without any issues. For the past couple of months I went back to an ICS TouchWiz based ROM as I thought the only way to get an MS Exchange email email app with full device encryption was to use Samsung's.... anyway, found an app that'll do it for me without suffering the slow down of encrypting the whole phone AND putting TouchWiz on, so I thought I'd try to go back to a 'pure' ROM until I ran into the above problem... Is it because I previously had the phone fully encrypted? I can see the folders now though.... AAAARRRRGGH!
...
Just in case it was an issue that has been fixed recently.... I tried ParanoidAndroid for the Note (v2.54 10 Nov 2012)... same issue. I did a factory reset, cache wipe and davlik wipe before and after flashing. Still both internal and SD storage are mapped so the apps and System settings can't see them.
What is wrong?
Update 2...
I tried flashing the following ROMs:
-A TouchWiz based ICS ROM (Sweet v5)
-A stock based ICS ROM (CM9.1)
-A TouchWiz based Jelly Bean ROM (Rocket Bean V2)
-Re-flashing CM10 nightlies
In every case both the internal and SD storage can't be seen in System>Storage.
What have I done???? Have I somehow screwed up the formatting on both the internal and SD card, yet CWM can read it??? Any ideas?
im on a XXLS7 based rom and its in
/storage/extSdCard
/storage/sdcard0
may be you want flash a stock GB or ICS rom again using Odin and start fresh
I haven't tried Odin yet... but when I was about to, I discovered something. I installed Titanium Backup. Instead of complaining I didn't have any storage (like all other apps), it complained that my storage directory wasn't writeable...
How do I check what the permissions are? What should they be? How do I fix it?!!!
Thanks.
Hi!
I have the same issue.
I'm currently on RocketRom V3 but I had the issues with others roms before.
I have a temporally fix: using root explorer, set the permission from r/o to r/w for the folder /mnt/sdcard
But after a while (fews minutes), it turn back to r/o, I don't know who/why.
Same here. Thought it was me!
Started when I switched to jb leak.
Says storage us full when I try to open camera,etc, even though it's not true
Sent from the man hiding in your attic.....
Ok, I found an fix that works for me
It looks that I had a bad file/folder/whatever on my internal storage, so the system put /sdcard (internal memory) on read only as it notice the bad thing.
Formating sdcard or emmc from cwm didn't work, full wipe neither, formatting internal from android settings neither, but I manage to mount internal SD on my computer using mass strorage (UsB switcher is included on Rocket V3 to switch from MTP to Mass storage)
Once mounted in Windows, I did a full format (fat32) of the internal memory, and so far it works!
I re-formatted my SD card in a memory card reader. I've put it back in the phone and now when I plug my phone in to my PC and select USB mass storage, the SD card comes up in Windows and I can write to it! Woot!
At the moment I still can't write to my internal storage (which means most apps still complain). It appears as a drive in Windows via USB, but I can't open it. I'll try Feyris' RocketRom suggestion later.
Any guess as to why this has happened? Anything to do with the fact I had full-device encryption on the phone before????
Is there any way to sawp the card location as on im on jb its taking external card as internal default location..As i am having class 4 sdcard so itz slowing down the system

When I put my Rocket V3 into the mac with usb switcher it mounts two drives. Both, however, are part of the internal SD card. It does not mount the proper external sd card. One is titled sdcard of the drives just called sdcard, the other is called storage (which has folders sdcard0, extSdCard, and usbstorageA-F). Should I format them both? Do I need to recopy all the files back onto the sdcard before booting up again?
Thanks!
Edit: I was either totally confused (most likely) or somehow I managed to fix my issue (less likely)...so I am ok now.
Internal Storage Mount
So I am having a similar issue.
I have an Evo 4g LTE running CM10 (cm-cfX-20120904-OFFICIAL-jewel)
I tried upgrading to the 11-13 build from get.cm site. I factory reset, wiped delvik, installed .zip from external sd card, installed gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed) wiped delvik again, rebooted, everything came up like it should, but I had no mobile data connection. All of my settings said unknown. So I rolled back to the (cm-cfX-20120904-OFFICIAL-jewel) build. Everything was working fine again, except I went open CWM v 5.8.3.5 from my app drawer and noticed message "you need sd card to run clockworkmod" so I went to sys settings > storage > internal storage (not mounted > mount storage and it attempts to read the data, but then does nothing. No error message or anything. I can't get my computer (windows 7) to read my internal storage so I can't format (which I have already done before)
I'm getting really frustrated as I have searched everywhere for the fix and have found nothing. If anyone has any idea I would greatly appreciate it.
Finally got around to spending a few hours on this yesterday to try to fix my 'missing' internal storage...
As suggested by nokiamodeln91 (cheers mate), I used Odin to go back to a stock ROM. Steps:
-Did a CWM backup of my current my current favourite ROM (I also used Titanium and SMS backup, but didn't need it in the end).
-Found an appropriate Samsung factory ROM. I went back to 2.3.6 as it's supposed to be safer. (For the n7000, make sure you choose an early one and not 'L' series or it's harder to root.)
-Used Odin to write the factory ROM. Note I only wrote the ROM, I didn't flash the modem, PIT, etc.
-Confirmed that I could see both my internal storage and my SD card (and also confirmed that a factory fresh install from Samsung looks and feels as ugly as I remembered).
-Used an 'update' hack to give me root.
-Installed CWM again.
-Simply restored my CWM backup of my favourite ROM...
In reality I went down several dead-ends... but I eventually got it all working again.

Long story short is I broke the screen to my GNote 2 which is on its way to Samsung for repair (A little under US$200 round trip). When I removed the battery to get the emie number there was "goo" oozing out the back from the screen I suspect.
Anyway, turned on my GNote 1, which hasn't seen the light of day since last October and booted to discover that it wasn't working right. I tinkered for quite an embarrassingly long time to where I found myself in the same situation as others here. No write access to the internal storage on my CWM rooted GNote.
Although I had a nand backup, I ended up using ODIN to flash LT4 Germany, lost root as a result. went back in to Download mode and used ODIN to install PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-5.00.5.tar the exact same way, booted into CWM recovery and flashed PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-5.00.5-sigend.zip and was good to go. Issue definitely resolved.
I did not have root after installing the PhilZ-cwm6-XXLT4-OXA-5.00.5.tar via ODIN but I was able to enter CWM recovery where I then installed the ZIP version. As I had fixed my issues I was able to copy over the ZIP version to my Ext SD card B4 going into recovery mode (Yup, one of the symptoms for me was not being able to copy to the external SD card when the phone was connected to my PC either).
Rebooted signed in and was quickly synching my apps, settings etc. I would have felt comfortable using the nand backup I had originally but since this solution brought me up a few versions of Android, I just did a fresh setup.
Had it not been for XDA and our friends here, I would have formatted, factory reset and who knows what else trying to fix this.
Thanks much,
Claude H.
So I have installed several versions of this ROM since it began, however when I upgraded to 1-12-14, all went well except my internal SDcard will not be recognized. This means I can't use the camera or Titanium Backup, etc. However, I can see and use the external sd card w/o any issue. Upon every boot I get the icon saying that I need to format SDcard0, but it never completes, only soft reboots and the icon is gone until the next full reboot. I flashbooted boot.img twice after doing a FULL wipe. I have tried reinstalling 3 times doing FULL wipes every time, still get the same. When I boot into recovery and try to wipe SDcard, I get an error saying
can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0p36 (Invalid argument)
Error mounting /internal_sdcard/!
Skipping format
I have also just tried the new 1-15-14 build and get the same results. I have fastbooted the boot.img each time. Please help. I have installed many ROMs on this device before w/o ever an issue. What did I do wrong and how do I fix it? TIA!
Reboot recovery
Mount USB storage...
Plug phone into computer...
Let windows format corrupt partition...
Profit

Just putting another method which worked for me (one time issue and fix, so it's a crap-shoot). I don't have the luxury of connecting to a computer via usb for anything except charging.
-properly flash a sufficiently different ROM (I had kitkat, so I flashed ICS)
-start ROM up, check if fixed (mine was not)
IF NOT FIXED, CONTINUE
-mount the SD card in your recovery (mine is WCX recovery)
-reboot your phone into the ROM
This method worked for me. I saw in a different forum that when this happens it's usually because a file that describes the partitions gets corrupted and that because ICS and GB partition the SD cards and internal storage in a different way than Jellybean or Kitkat, that flashing a different ROM (if problem is on ICS/GB, then flash KK/JB, and vice versa) will force an overwrite of the file in question.
This is not as easy as rignfool's method, and once my charge port arrives in the post, I will abandon this method and use Windows to repair the partition like a sane person
Also, it seems like all my media on the internal storage has been wiped, but wutevr :/
Might want to try a newer build where that bug is fixed.

Might want to try a newer build where that bug is fixed.

If this is directed at me, this happened after I installed the March 17th or 18th nightly (put a new one on every once and a while). And to be completely fair, I had accidentally selected factory reset in hboot (thought it was highlighting recovery, boy was I pissed).
The problem (or so I've read) with installing another kitkat/jellybean ROM is that the SD card is mounted the same (/storage/sdcard0, and external SD is only /storage/sdcard1) as opposed to ICS/GB (I only remember that you access external SD through /sdcard/ext_sdcard or something to that extent). Only when the SD cards will be mounted at differing locations will the system re-write the files specifying mount points.
