[Q] After upgrading to CM10 "emmc" changed to "extSdCard" and related problems
Hi,
I've recently updated my GNote (GT-7000) from CM9 to CM10, and looks like with CM10 the external sd card previously mouted as "emmc" has become "extSdCard".
Since then some of the apps (such as Apollo) have trouble seeing media files, others can't see the sd card at all, and when connecting to the desktop the drive which normally shows the content of the external sd card, only shows a couple of folders of it rather than the whole content as it used to do before (when using CM9 and previous roms I had).
Looked around for possible causes, but didn't find much. Someone mentioned that rommanager might have placed ".nomedia" files on the root of the internal or external sd card causing the problem, but that's not my case. Tried also doing a full wipe and reinstall of CM10, no joy.
Any idea?
Thanks!

That's the standard mount points for cm10 there are apps that will remount the sd and external sd in mnt as on stock roms. I had a quick look but couldn't find them, but I'm sure someone else will be able to find them.

clean install without restoring data of apps

Thank you for the suggestions -- I tried a clean install as well, but even the builtin apps (Apollo) still had troubles accessing the external sd card (not seeing any of the mp3s I had there). I have now resolved for restoring a CM9 backup I took before upgrading to 10... and everything is working as it used to.
Not sure why I ran into these issues which no one else seems having encountered so far.

I have the same problem except that the files on my internal sd card are not read by apollo player And the gallery. Is there any workaround. The problem started as soon as I upgraded from cm9 to cm10

Download ICS SD Binder. Check all 3 options and reboot. The path should be mnt/extSdCard (i think default is odb or so, make sure you change it) . It worked for me and so I'm trying to answer everyone with this problem. Give me feedback soon. And thanks button if I heped.

It didn't -- I don't need to have /emmc bound to /sdcard/external_sd as it was in GB. With CM9 everything for me works just fine with /emmc.
I tried the latest CM10 nightly, and using ICS SD Binder didn't change things. In the latest CM10 now there is also another mountpoint, called /storage/ and underneath sdcard0 and sdcard1 pointing to the internal and external storages respectively. In addition to /sdcard/ and extSDCard. Every few builds there seem to be some new change related to the storage's mount point. Going to wait another while before doing other attempts.

Any update on this question?
seems these are the new mount points even on the New JB roms from samsung
Somehow in some late November nightly, after flashing it, the files on my Internal SD were detected properly and it has all been working properly since. touchwood!
Hi
Some time ago I tried JB Paranoid Android and my internal and external storage worked fine but switched back to ICS roms because of the problems JB roms had.
Now I guess they are more stable and wanted to try again so I installed Utacka's P.A. and I couldn't mount the internal storage. Some apps like camera said I had to insert an sd card. My sd card is mounted as my internal storage and the internal storage isn't anywhere.
I thought it was a problem with the rom so I went back to rocket miui and everything was fine.
Now I saw the cookies and cream Rom and wanted to try it but I'm having the same problem.
I searched in this forum for similar posts and tried ICS SD Binder and it doesn't work (or maybe I'm doing something wrong) and Remount Sd without luck.
According to Solid Explorer, my "Internal" sd's path is /mnt/extSdCard ("Internal" because in fact it's my external sd card) and I also have a /mnt/sdcard folder which says it's empty.
I would really apriciate any help and I'm sorry for my bad english and possible spelling mistakes.
Thanks

I had a similar problem, I used ICS SD Binder, checked all 3 options and rebooted. It worked for me. Did you check all 3 options?

Yes, I did. Every time I reboot ICS Binder force closes so I guess it isn't really doing anything.
Do you remember which original mount point you chose?

It force closes for me too. Though quite annoying, it still works. I chose the something that looked like mnt/ExtSdCard (maybe I didnt spell it correctly but it is the closest to that spelling.) I think the original was odb... Try and lets see if it works...

It's not working for me. When the phone reboots, at the beginning appears a message saying it's checking for errors on the sd card and if I enter to settings/storage it looks like if it is mounting correctly because it says internal storage 11 gb and it looks like if it is scanning it and external storage 29 gb. Then ICS Binder force closes and the external storage desapears and the internal stoage is 29 gb.
Hey guys,
I recently rooted my s3 mini to JB 4.1.2 by faria and i was wondering why i cant install any more apps as my ram is used up by all my apps. is there a way to clear/wipe all this data and start from scratch installations or any way i can move this huge game files in android/obb to another location in my sdcard to save space for app installations on my phone memory.
also, i have tried directory bind,app2sd, lind2sd and gl to sd(root) none of them seems to be installing or working for me as i still face the prob with installation of the same app.
kindly help.

Tried that, didnt work thanks for your quick reply tho. its been happening even before the 4.1.2 update. even when i had the 4.1.1 XXJL by avicohh rooted. any other suggestions?
Go into recovery maybe, and wipe cache from there, either that or factory reset your phone

Everything from ur last post was tried except for the downloading of the busy box. it wont even allow me to download it. it says insufficient storage. i cant proceed from there. i got the rest of it. i ran a chmod to 777 and instlled smanager . any help ?
Had the same error.
Simply wipe dalvik-cache and everything will work fine.
Cheers.
I used titanium backup and wiped dalvik cache. Still no use. Same error. Is there any way I can install busy box in linux.

Remove a LOT of your apps. That should fix the storage problem until you get the script into /data.
you could

try changing default install location. possible with normal device options, dont remember where. or else use app2sd to change it.
although i have the same error, when trying to install anything on extsdcard (with enough room on it), with faria rom v5.1.
with leatherface v2 i didnt have the problem if i remember correct.
update:
i still have the problem too.
wiped dalvik, factory reset multiple times, cleaned odin files, although faria rom is also using odex?
phone works fine, but i only have 4,5gb max internal (fused internal and sdcard).
and i cant install anything to external. i selected the options *install to: autoselect by android, internal, or external.
i tried it with more then one app, like rom toolbox pro.
i also noticed that chaning it it one app, correctly alters it in another.
i asked this in q&a, and i read what i can searching the whole forum. still i wuold really like to know:
-is 4,5 gb max combined/fused is normal for s3 mini +faria rom)?
-is it normal to have .obb partition completely empty, even having installed multipple apps?
its 402mb, totally free.
And i have other partitions also 402 mb, totally free.
-/cache partitions remains at 14mb, whatever happends, even after changing usage of cache heavier and lighter.
-cant install anything on extsdcard.
-/mnt/sdcard shows in that directory, with root explorer, as linked to sdcard0.
same in root:/sdcard (not sdcard0!) linked to -> sdcard0
but it has no apps in it. and only some folders.
?i dont know if i am correct in assuming that "->" symbol in root explorer means: linked to.

did u used linked to sd?if yes you have to select default instal location to automatic...that solved my problem...the setting in link 2 sd....before this i select install to ext sd card and every time theres error insufficient memory...
thx for yuor reply

no that is not what i mean exactly.
i do use link2sd now, to use my extsd 2nd partition. but it gives an error: installl_failed_insufficent storage.
even when i put it on auto.
when pressing create link, i get: i/o error.
what do you have selected to auto move to 2nd partition?
my primary question, has to do with the fused internal+sdcard phone memory (so not extsdcard), of faria firmware.
Phone sees the fused internal as,... internal memory.
and the phone sees my extsdcard as external sdcard.
i presumed the reason for this is to be able to install apps on ext sd too, by default. (so without link2sd or others).
because the problem as i see it is:
now i have less phone storage.
i still cannot install to external sd card.
i would really like to know
- what should be the benefits of this fused memory? why did faria do this?
- beacause now i have less or same memory, and no benefits.
-what i have to change in system mount, or fuse, to get back original non-fused.
- And/Or, how i can enable extsdcard to install to it too.
thanks
Have you tried with an ext4 partition on your external sd, for link2sd? I've read somewhere that it worked.
Otherwise Directorybind do work. I've binded the whole Android folder without any problems at all :good:

hi,
actually i do also had a the same problem with my cell phone as of yours... so i just wanna know if we had comeout with those problem.... please suggest me a solution too if you had solved those problem.
please do help...
found a solution (maybe?)
I personally had the same problem right after flashing a new rom on my i9100. I read through the script amd it was quite literally just unmounting and mounting the sd card again. I wasn't sure how it could possibly be a simple matter of mounting the sd card but it worked so I'm okay with that.
If you're on 4.1.2 then you can probably manually unmount and mount the sd card by going into system settings, storage and scroll down to sd card for unmount. It'll take a short while to unmount and another to mount again and check for errors. Not sure if you have to do this will ever boot but it beats not ever installing anything, right?

Hi guys, I updated my P880 to V20B and now have problems with using the external SD properly. I found it being mountend to storage/external_SD and I can read/write there. BUT: I can't set a folder on it as the backup location in Super Backup (as I could before), my LG notes aren't backed up automatically to the external SD location (as it was before), and I expect many similar problems to arise with time.
Formerly, the external SD was mounted to mnt/sdcard/external_sd, if I remember correctly. Now this symbolic link (?) is missing. When I performed the update and then first booted the updated device, I had the external SD removed to make sure my backups were safe. Might that be the reason for the missing link? My questions are:
1. Should I flash the kdz again with the SD card inserted? Or at least perform a factory reset?
2. Or could the link be created afterwards, preferrably without rooting my device? Would that solve the problem, at all?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Nothing?
How about formatting SD card ? Did you tryed that ? On 20a my card is read as storage/external_SD just fine.

Hey dimi, thanks for the suggestion! However, I am afraid you didn't read my post very carefully. I wrote that I actually CAN read/write to my external SD. But I cannot set the path in applications like Super Backup (when I navigate to some folder on storage/external_SD, the button "Select this folder" is inactive). And I suspected it is because it is no subpath of mnt/sdcard anymore. Also, some apps like LG notes don't write/backup to the external SD by default any more, and some of them unfortunately are not configurable.
That's the reason why I thought creating a simbolic link for mnt/sdcard/external_sd (as it was before) might solve the problem. However, I am absolutely not sure of this (plus: how to achive it) and would be happy about an expert's opinion.

I can set path anywhere on storage/sdcard, but not on storage/external_SD. Also the Notes application doesn't back up to external SD, as it did before. Coincidence? Maybe. I will find out with time using other applications.
Am I right that creating symbolic links without root access is not possible?

Idk about creating links but it is not coincidence that you and me cant select any folder on external_SD i guess it is app bug or maybe as i sad premium version requirement.

It worked on 4.0.3.
Hi again, I made some progress here!
I managed to create a symbolic link to my external SD (I am on a rooted CM10.1.3 now), but that didn't help. I could use it within the ES file explorer for navigation, but not within Super Backup (didn't see it). So I tried to MOUNT the external SD instead. Here is the command I finally used:
mount -t vfat -o rw,umask=000 /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /data/media/0/extSD
No errors, I can access my SD via this mount point with ES file explorer, and I can navigate into this top folder now with Super Backup and select it as backup location. BUT I can't actually back up here, as Super Backup can't write, I guess ("backup failed").
I was hoping that this "umask" parameter would do the trick, but unfortunately not. Interestingly: when I navigate with Super Backup to this new backup location, all the subfolders of my external SD card appear as files, not folders.
I am pretty sure, it is nearly done and only has to do with setting the right permissions.
Does anyone have an idea what I could try now?
EDIT: I just unmounted, applied "chmod 777 /data/media/0/extSD" and remounted again (this time with "rwx" parameter). No changes.
Ok, I am back to 4.0.3 ICS and everything is fine.
hello,
please i need some Help!
gt-19295 on lollipop 5.0.1
the problem started that whatsapp stopped downloading media,and when i try to download it say there's no enough space,even that there were enough space.
i don't know what started the problem!! but maybe after root!
i did some changes to platform.xml ..
but know the problem extended to,
all apps stopped working ( cause they can't reach sdcard maybe) even i can't start helium to make a back up!
even "my files" say that there's no files ( not seeing internal or external card)
and es file explorer when choosing sdcard say "cannot start streaming server"
but root explorer can explore files from /storage/emulated (external and internal)
===>
i 've unrooted it and restored the original platform.xml
downgrade it to kitkat and re upgrade it
cleared cache partition
nothing worked!
please what could be the problem ? and how to fix it?
sorry if i didn't make it so clear , cause im not so fluent in English.
and thank you for reading.
P.S when i was flash a firmware it was restore the custom status to official ,but now it stay custom !
There's noway I can reset system settings and keep personal data!
(apps data contacts messages..)
removing-replacing-editing files using root explorer?!
cause this is the only thing works now! :T
and i don't wanna to do factory reset ;(
