First I tried to delete some files, but it kept saying "Permission denied". Then I tried to open a movie from the card, it didn't do anything. And nothing else works either...
I don't know if there's any connection between these, but I'd rather let you know that I downloaded some suspicious files. I hope the tablet hasn't got infected or something similar.
I used to have such a problem not so long time ago... I had to reset the tablet, I didn't have a better idea.
I hope this time we'r gonna work it out.
Thanks in advance.
are u talkin abt the internal card? chk the file permissions n c if u can remount them..
the external sd card might ve the lock switch turn on, u can manually turn it off.
yes, you're right, I've been talking about the internal. I go and check it out now.

The only fix is to.send it to Dell
do you really think so? Btw the last option would be to reset the whole device again. But at the moment the only problem is that I can't delete those suspicious files. The others have been fixed. Haven't I mentioned it? So I can open the files again.
Btw I've checked the permissions. I only can unmount it...probably after I could remount it, but I don't want to delete anything.

If it's stuck in Read Only mode even a factory reset done by you will not change anything, IF it's in Read Only mode. If it's some other bug you may get lucky and get it resolved

ohh good question! I dont think anything preinstalled before the change will work, but I have never tried, I usually change reg after flash or hard reset

Bad day today. Why? Because this morning I decided to try out one of the Eclair roms before leaving for work. I flashed it, tried it and then looked at the time. After noticing that I had only 15 minutes before having to be at work I decided that it was time to lock up my computer and take off... but first... I need to restore back to a stable rom. So I restarted my phone and using switchrom I recieved an error of some kind. Not a big deal because anytime I flash a new rom I do a switchrom -s, bart backup AND nandroid+ext backup. Then everyday I use a bat script to automatically mount my sdcard and back it up to my pc just in case I need to format my card and restore everything later. Which brings me to the point of this thread. I was able to restore CM-4.2.8.1 but it was booting VERY slowly (about 15 minutes) and I noticed that it still said "Checking for errors" in the status bar. I left my phone on the charger and checked it later and it said that my sdcard was damaged. I have absolutely NO computer access and my phone is running WAAAYYYY to sluggish to use. So I just turned it off and put my sim in my old Tilt phone and used that for the day.
So... throughout the ENTIRE day I was going through Android withdrawls. I needed my G1. It was killing me.
So my question/idea is, is there a way to do a chkdsk on the fat partition of from the recovery menu or from terminal? I did a little searching and came up with something called dosfsck. And I looked in the /system/bin/ directory and saw something called fsck_msdos. Can we use this to repair the errors that the system finds on the sdcard? If the OS can scan and detect errors, then why can't we have an option to fix them? Instead of having to use a computer at home or the office.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

The thing is that is part of the windows OS, i know cause i use it to check for errors on my HDD or SD cards time-time. Im not sure if linux or distro or whatever its called has that feature avail.
Oh and i had that prob before where it was devastatingly sluggish.

Uhhhh... is that a paraphrased version of what I said in the quote? LOL.
Here... I found this: http://linux.die.net/man/8/fsck.vfat
I don't see why it can't be implimented somehow into a recovery.img to avoid future problems. It'll basically be like e2fsck but for fat.

Oops sorry about that, didnt think anyone would notice.
Maybe you should check that up with Amon_RA?
I usually use my SD reader to check for errors before i flash a rom.

Yeah I guess I'll do just that.
I did find this too:
http://www.netmite.com/android/mydroid/donut/external/dosfstools/doc/README.dosfsck
So it looks like someone had the idea already. I wonder why it's never been implemented.

I never get that but whatever is wrong with my sdcard it must be major because my pc is still trying to recover it after an hour later.

Copy the files to your pc, then erase the partition via console.Then do the error check again. I think its having trouble since you have a lot of files on your sd that must be zip or maybe you have a .img

I think it was Vista. I never should have used the error check option in the disk properties menu. I just tried it again using dos (chkdsk f: /R) so it actually tells me what it's doing. The error checking tool in vista is just like the defrag tool. You have absolutely no idea what's going on or how much longer it's going to take. Sucks.

I upgraded to 7
But i did like vista because of the HW support and eye-candy. I do wonder what its checking while it does that though.
I am running myn's warm donut on nand and have system and data on nand so that I can unmount the sdcard. I go into system/sdcard and phone storage, click unmount sdcard and then it says, sdcard ready for safe removal. However, when reinsert the sdcard (same or new) nothing happens. I have to reset the phone for it to recognize the card. Is there a way to remount it without having to do a soft reset?
Ps. I've searched the forums and can't find anything on this so please don't yell at me for starting a new thread thanks
as of now running android, our phones will not read our cards after we pull them until reboot as you said. I believe I've read that we just don't have the drivers to support it.
If you look here you will see that you know longer have to pull your card to add/remove files via your computer
If all you want to do is transfer non system files via usb cable/pc follow the instructions on this post... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634784
well the reason I had asked was because I don't have easy access to a computer so I flash the new nbh files via sd card. But thank you to everyone who answered
The reason nothing happens is that the vold.conf file is incorrect. Try adding this update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5620969&postcount=258
and let me know if that helps?

Warm Donut RLS 3 02-20-2010 contains this fix.
I am unable to download/update new apps and existing apps via the market because i keep getting an error that says unsuccessful download. I flashed over the new 2.2.6 market into my phone and i still get the same problem. It turns out that only apps that are in the sdcard are affected, and moving them back into the phone will finally allow them to be updated with no problems.
I tried everything i could find on the internet, clearing cache/data and stuff like that, but they dont work. One method that does work is a factory reset but i dont wanna lose my stuff right now. Usually when i get this problem i'll just wait out a few hours and try again but i had this problem since last night and i also read about people who had them for over a month!
Is there any fix to this? Or is the market just broken? Running on CM6.1-N1
cmon 56 views and still no answer? I know many people have encountered this problem before. Is there any solution to this?
Probably because there's 56 threads on the same subject...

I am stuck on "App not Installed". I can't figure that out. I am on CM 6.1.0 on 2.2.1. I tried clearing cache, renaming file to update.zip and going into recovery to install from SD Card. I can't figure it out. Any ideas?
Try unmounting your SD card in settings...

Didnt work for me. :/
Alright think i fixed it. Just tried updating an app that is in SDcard and it updated fine.
Found the solution here:
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...all-around-failures/page__p__24608#entry24608
1. Open Terminal Emulator on the phone
2. Type su to activate SuperUser
3. Once the $ sign turns to # type in the above code
4. That should do it
And BTW - it's smdl2tmp1.asec (with the letter L before the 2) not smd12tmp1.asec (with the number 1)

I'm trying to uninstall NFS Shift completely. I've uninstalled using Uninstall Pro, deleted the folder from "my files/data", but can't find the remaining files using Root Explorer. Can anyone show me where it's at or are there any? The reason I'm doing this is, I'm getting an error when trying to play.
Thanks in advance..
Guess not...

If you're really wanting to make sure you've cleaned it out, you could always to a Titanium backup of all the apps/data that is/are good (or that you want to save), and do a factory reset from Clockworkmod Recovery. That would clean out anything that's left.
Just make sure you don't do anything that will format your internal sd card (unless you've moved all the things you want to keep to a safe place).
Granted, you'd have to take some time to reinstall your other apps, but it might solve your problem.
Just my opinion, though.

Or get a an app called SDMaid. That's kinda what is was made for doing. Completely cleaning up entire apps and clone files and such.
seems like a lot of trouble to get rid of a few 2-5 kb files in my opinion
