hey guys,
i ve really big problems with the android_secure folder on internal sd card.
i install a lot of apps with 91 mobile pc suite direct to sd card and everything works fine.
but before i finished installing all my apps, everytime the .androoid_secure folder gets corrupted.
then market doenwload doesn´t work anymore, i can´t move apps to sd and all my apps i moved/intsalled to sd are disappeared!!!!
they are all gone!! in settings-applications- on sd- they´re still visible, but greyed out and without appsymbols.
i don´t know when exactly it happens, just everytime when i nearly finished installing all my apps, or backed them up with titanium.
sometimes it helps to rename the android_secure folder to somethig different (p.e. android_secure2), reboot, so the phone creates a new one, then move all entries from android_secure2 to android_secure and reboot again.
then the apps are back again. but sometimes it doesn´t help and i got to install all apps again (about 1,4 gb).
so i repeated this procedure about 10 times and spend more then 3 days. so i really don´t know what do do!!! can somebody help me? why the android_secure folder always gets corrupted?? is there a way to get the apps back again??
i already formatted the sd, searched for errors, used sdrescan etc...
please help.

So I had BusyBox on my phone, and deleted it.. Then going through my SD card to delete a folder for something else I noticed a file called BusyBox, so I went to delete it.. Then it started to delete the entire internal SD slot, and from what it looks like formatted the drive.. Now I've lost all my music and any game files that were on there. WTH happened?
Have you tried a reboot
yea, rebooted and everything was gone..
might be usefull to note that I'm running the leaked 2.2 and rooted..
It showed int eh notifications that it was deleting everything, if I tried to intterupt it, it did nothing.. So I forced a restart before it finished and it was all gone..
Can't say i know what to tell you
ooops!! that's what backups are good for. Hopefully you had one.
For the most part I did, I just had to re-dl game data which wasn't a problem looks like the saves were on the phone memory and not the sd.. Had most of my pictures on my comp, and music was easily put back on.. So I didn't really lose to much, just a few pictures.. Just found that odd is all..
hi guys, i start a new thread cos till now nobody could help me.
if i move/install more than (about) 50 apps on sdcard, my phone works only until shut it down.
once rebooted, it keeps rebooting (it seems to happen while scanning apps on sdcard).
only solution is, to put sdcard in pc and delete some (doesn´t matter which) .asec files from .android_secure folder.
this problem only appears in android versions higher than 2.34 and it seems to appear on other phones (not only lg) too.
please, please, does anybody has a solution or an explanation???
Which ROM are you using?
Anyway, just an idea, looks like a format problem in your card, have you tried to copy all the apps out of the card (v.g. to a PC) and reformat the card?. You can copy verything back afterwards.
Sometimes, it just happens the card is left in a funny state by an O.S. crash or by silly accidents (like pulling it out without unmonting it first).
Hope it helps.
Cheers.
NOTE: If you are copying things out, remember there might be some hidden directories in the card, set your file explorer to show them.
NOTE2: I remember having a similar problem with an old WinMo 6.5 phone, turned out my SD was a fake one not having the expected capacity.
formatting card doesn´t help.
i tried it with 4 different cards. formatted all. did fullwipe, after fullwipe, started with clear rom, installed all apps again. everytime the same: if the´re more than 50 files in android secure, phone keeps on rebooting.
at the moment i use cm9 kang3. but like i told it´s the same with every rom based on android higher than 2.34. so i tried it with miui, miui kangs, cm7, cm7kangs etc. eveytime same thing, cos they´re all based on android higher than 2.34.
these guys have the same problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446961
is there anyvody who have an android version higher than 2.34 and more than 50 apps on sdcard and phone doesn´t reboot???
don´t believe that.
so i think i go back to gb 2.34. but is there a rom/kernel with a ramhack, so i got 404mb free ram? and i need the cars mounted in c-style, so external sdcard is sdcard and internal is mounted as _internal..
I have more than , 230 apps, and 40% they are on sdcard.
And i dont have any problems with it.

hmmm... ok, strange. which rom do you use and how many files do you have in android_secure folder and how big is it?
Hello, hope I'm posting right. My phone has stock rom (4.0.4 LRK) with stock kernel. Today suddenly, can't tell why, I started experiencing strange issues with the internal storage. I can see, access and even write on /sdcard (I've just done a backup in a folder there with Titanium), same on my pc, but shortly after I boot, some apps start disappearing or to show up as grey icons, I can't move them from phone memory to sd card or viceversa, i can't unistall them, and i can't even install new apps.
Also, every action that requires to load the app list (like looking for cache to clean) fails on most cases. It's like the memory card was okay, but something was wrong with the apps installed.
What's happening?
first of all, move to a safe kernel... then either do a format using pc and put the data back. or do a factory reset in CWM recovery and reinstall apps using tb
I found out the problem was the external sd card after all but thanks anyway, you can close!
Please move to safe kernel
Hello.
This is my first post.
I have seen the noob video, I know I am not special. And still:
I have searched the forums, but my problem is different. Most of the posters don't know what caused this error. I know what caused mine. I have actually unexpectedly removed the SD Card. Kind of. Funny story: transferring data (green bar on windows not loaded at all, window stuck on calculating time/finding files etc -technically no data has been transferred), windows explorer decides to go all "Not responding" on me (thank you microsoft). The genius in me tells me to unplug the phone, so I do. Yay! explorer.exe is ok now. Too bad my SD card isn't.
There are some files on it... but none of the folders that I created, so I lost everything except photos and stuff. I have backed them up on my PC. When I connect my phone (which I have to do manually by going into USB settings so that my PC recognizes anything -auto play doesn't appear anymore-), instead of showing up as my phone, it shows up as a media device with stuff on it (folders like Android, DCIM, but none of my manually created folders containing music etc.).
I repeat, I have actually unexpectedly removed my SD card.
I right clicked on the drive in the PC and clicked Format. It warned me. I didn't care, I was desperate. In just one second, it said formatting complete. No files missing, however (still those Android, DCIM etc. folders).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (this forum section, I think). I have flashed the I9070XXLQ4 (android 4.1.2) from Russia on it (a few weeks ago). Not root, or any custom ROM's.
Recap. I have unexpectedly removed my SD card. I want my games back. Or at least formatting it, making it usable.
Formatting the SD card from the phone settings has done it. I am a noob.
try formatting the sdcard on your phone thru the settings>storage..
re-download all your games or transfer them on the sdcard after the format.. if you have back up on your pc or other storage..
as for your pc.. try a reboot.. to correct the drivers of your phone as storage device..

Thanks, I've managed to do that before you posted (but I'm a noob and I can't edit posts so quickly). It did it. Although I was hoping not to lose everything.

Hi guys.
I hope it's not the wrong thing to revive this old thread.
I was recently installing an RUU onto my phone. After the install completed, the phone restarted and it began checking the SD card again for an RUU - and it found one, as I had not by then removed/renamed it. So, after waiting for it to verify the RUU, selecting "no" to installing it, it restarted again and again it started looking for an RUU. By this time, I was getting impatient, so I tried to remove the SD card quickly before any actual data access happened.
WRONG
My SD card became RAW, inaccessible to Android or Windows. Testdisk and various free versions of paid-for undelete tools (like EaseUS) found only files from waaaaay back, before I had ever used the card in Android. As a precaution, I took two RAW copies of the full card onto two harddisks and compared the MD5 of each (match).
A little wary of the risk of using various features of testdisk, I thought the best thing to do next was a format (not quick format) to exFAT in windows and run all the undelete tools again. No results. Then I found this thread and, as suggested, tried formatting using Android. All software returned no results again.
What else can I do? The contents of the card should still be as they were (unless the formatting twice effected that). Am I correct to assume that the card (128gb) would have been formatted exFAT by Android 5/6?
In testdisk, are "superblock" or "boot" forms of recovery any relevance to me?
Thank you!
(PS: Android is working fine, I'm only having problems with the SD card contents)
I can't believe this.
The same crap happened to me on a second XT890. I'm lost for words.
here is what happened.:
Got a phonecall, when I wanted to pick it up the phone would turn off saying not enough power, at 30 % !!???
Ok, so no big deal I thought,...turned it back on, had the same person calling me, everything was fine. Then i noticed the stored mms images would not load inside the conversations. Si turned the phone off and on again, mms images are loading again.
Got another phone call and my personal ringtone, gone, no longer there. Couldn't even switch it back even though the file, supposedly was there. Then I tried to play the file, google play music would not.
Next, all my images are gone, no longer folders of the camera and images and videos. Using quickoffice , that app says, no files on the internal sd card! WTF!?
Turning the phone off an on again, let me see the files on the card again, even let me play an audio file, going in and out of the folder, the files disappeared again.
So long story short. Everything seems to work except my files are gone and quickoffice and fileviewers won't find the files. When i put in an external sd card that works fine on other devices, it won't load the files, images, videos, only maybe 3 of 100!? What the hell.
This is the second time on a different phone but same model this has happened.
I can't afford to loose the images and recordings. are they gone? what has happened? I ran DR Fone recovery, and even that won't find the images i need,
Phone is rooted. And it's driving me nuts. Battery was replaced 6 months ago, everything was fine. Now that.
Please help, need my files, desperately.
What could have caused this? ? What is not working properly? Indexing? Gallery? Quickoffice?
Could be a corruption in the data
" corruption on your internal memory
" corruption on the system partition or dalvik
See if adb can find the files on your internal sdcard. With the command: adb shell ls /storage/sdcard0/[path to video/photo]
Thanks will try.!
In the meantime Root Browser shows the sd card as empty, and last time changed as 8/5/12 which was the build date of the phone.... :-/
Funky, When hooking up for adb and running a command the files and sd card became visible. So while visible I was able to safe all the files to external card. When restarting the phone the internal sd and files disappeared again. I cleared cache and dalvik and media storage, no effect. files remain hidden. Running sd maid it says system files are hidden. using es file explorer running showing hidden files i get a no permission response. same for sd card, says no permission. so something is blocking me. virus? i don't really use wlan or internet, wondering how to get everything working again. files and everything is there, but i have no access.
Still looks like a corruption somewhere. I should just safe all files that u need, backup data and do a full system restore and start over. With full I mean also a internal memory wipe.
Maybe there is a much better option, but I don't know any atm.
Still fiddling with it. Thought I just do a factory reset. Well didn't work.
Somehow before I did the reset the media store app was moved to sd card and a different apk was placed in system / app folder.
After the restart you guessed it, all data was gone as expected. Gallery and ringtones and video, and so on won't show. The media storage apk is in system/app folder, but it won't show under settings/apps/all.....
Not being an expert I think I messed this up by switching out the apks,.../
The one now in the system folder is: version 4.04-1351904261 but I need version 4.04-1344118159
Who can tell me where i can find one?
