Hi
Seems that there is an over the air /network update from Sony for my phone. Xperia T from phones 4 u. Foolishly (it seems) I attempted to install it, and it failed. My phone is rooted and has Cwm on having unlocked the bootloader. Since the failed update I have been unable to take photos as I get an error saying 'memory error' saving photo failed.
I tried the fixing permissions option in Cwm, then I tried restoring from a backup from Cwm which initially moaned about not being able to write to E/..
Second time around the backup restored fine but still same problem with taking photos.
Photos are saved to the internal storage right, which I have not touched..
Any ideas as to what is going on here and how to fix it?
Any help much appreciated
Thanks
Nat
Ps. Assuming that the update from Sony didn't work because of the rooted/cwm/unlocked bootloader state of the phone..? It calls itself 7.0.A.3.195

what is your problem?
Is it a memory error or is it a failed update?
For one, the solution is to backup up the memory cards and format them, for the other its to run the install again from pccompanion.
Sorry hadn't quite finished writing that when it posted and you replied. (have updated it now)
Does the advice still stand?

You cannot update the phone via official methods if you have unlocked the bootloader
Yes, advice still stands. Backup internal memory card, format it in settings and restore it
Thanks, is that 'clear internal storage' option?

assuming its not clear internal storage and is in fact formatting with CWM..
however..
if I backup my internal memory card, then format it with CWM
how do i get the data back onto it?
as it wont boot if I wipe it - or at least that is what happened last time I tried
can I mount it in cwm and copy stuff across that way - because I did try that last time with no luck and ended up having to start again with a ftf
You can always format from within android. Settings> storage> format/wipe internal sdcard if I'm not mistaken

I am playing this game but didn't meet this problem.
wt rom and kernel you are using?
Or u may try clear data of the market and see if the problem is solved..

I have the same problem. I think, that there is problem with SD card. If i change SD card, market instal it and everything is OK. I tried format card in phone, in windows, but the same problem. Try move the game to the phone, then install upgrade and then you can move it to SD card.
Yeah, i tried to clear data of the market but it still cant help =[[[
I put some apps back to phone storage and some of them can be upgraded again but still some cant (

Delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec'. It can be at 2 places:
1. /sdcard/.android_secure
or
2. /mnt/secure/asec/ (you need to be rooted if you want to delete it from here).
I deleted it from the /mnt/secure/asec folder and everything works fine ever since.
If you can't find this file you can just simply unmount your sdcard from the settings menu, download your app and then remount the sdcard.
I hope this helps.
I dont have this file. I thing, that problem is with SD card. If I try another one, everything is OK.

Hey guys, is there a way to supreme wipe internal SD card, so it is like I just bought the phone.. After dozens of different ROM's my internal SD is full of empry folders, some pieces of files and God knows what else.. There was a tool for G2x called "G2X Cleanup Batch" - http://www.xda-developers.com/android/remove-old-clutter-with-batch-cleanup-for-g2x/ Is there anything like that for O2x? Thanks in advance!

I just plug my phone into my computer, do select all, then delete, then empty recycle bin to wipe everything from the sd card.
You want go back to stock rom, cleaning everything? (deleting cwm too?)
I had to do it yesterday, I did something that my cellphone couldn't mount E: and stuck on CWM.

Well not external SD, but internal - phone memory.. Kinda risky to format phone without knowledge, that this wont brick my phone..
"Okay, so wiping is a bit inaccurate. What the application actually does is re-create all the partitions, destroying all remaining data in the process. Says mansa_noob" I'ts about application for G2x I wonder maybe there is something like that for our phones..

the fastest way is to unmount internal from menu and just format it but you will not have preinstalled test apps that lg provides(not a big lose they were all demos)

Do you mean you want to format the internal 8gb SD card, or do you want to wipe the 1gb internal storage?
If it's just the internal 8gb SD you can do as I posted above, i've done it a few times. If you want to want to wipe the internal storage, then probably I would go into CWM, do a factory reset, then reinstall a fresh ROM of your chopice that you have on your SD card etc...

Or SmartFlash can do pure stock, all internatl Enrico/OSP stuff, if your phone works (or even in bootloop)... tested few days ago.
Well, I'll explain how to fully wipe your cellphone and install 2.2.2 version.
Warning: I'm not responsible for any damage caused into your phone
- Necessary files:
nvflash+v10b rom MD5: B17CB7FD3542B5D02BAF49879A83ACFF
nvflash driver MD5: B630C36DEF01E6912407840BBB033BCA
- How to:
Turn off your phone
Take out your battery
Press volume up + volume down and connect to your computer usb
Your screen will keep black, don't worry
Check in device manager if there's any APX with error
Right click it to install driver manually
Browser to driver folder
Install driver (ignore any warning)
Now there's "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices"
It's time to flash the rom
Execute "flash.bat"
If the install is stuck on "Nvflash started", unplug and try again
For me only worked in the 2nd try
After that I rooted using SuperOneClick, installed CWM and see my signature :silly:
Here. But it doesn't wipe internal sd. Might help though. ^^

Can't cwm format the internal and/or external SD?

I modified the original script to work for our mount, and then put it in a flashable to flash after flashing a ROM to have storage swapped right away after booting. No need to manually move the script to /system/etc/init.d any more.
Let me know if there's any issues.
Thanks to original script author and others who figured out what mounts are which.
DOWNLOAD
Script info:
extsd2internalsd is a modification that allows to switch internal sd to external sd and viceversa. With this you can use default internal sd only for app storage and the external sd to store all apps resource and all others stuff. The result is a very big increase of installable apps on your device.
All credits to Mattiadj of xda forum for the idea and script and to mike1986 for the cmw zip.
Script Modified for U.S. Galaxy S3s by Zedomax at GalaxyS3Root.com to be compatible when sdcard is not inserted.
This is ONLY for 4.2 custom ROMs with unlocked boot loaders of course. Not tested with stock 4.1 or CM10 (4.1) You are welcome to try it though and let me know the results.

If you formated both sdcards you pretty much deleted everything you had there mate.

I can't get 4.2 to read the storage in settings correctly. I put a specially named folder on my external SD card and when it shows up as internal I know it works. You won't be able to see the external SD anymore which is now technically the internal.
Formatting SD cards won't make any difference here. All were doing is telling the system one is the other.

I have my game data on my computer, I can't seem to make it stick so I can restore my games to where I was last playing.
I haven't formated anything. After I flashed the zip my data went away, but on the other hand I can see the data folders in root explorer.

To undo just delete the script in /system/etc/init.d
This isn't doing anything obtrusive guys its just placing the script for you is all.
Its recommended you do this after a clean install of whatever ROM you run.
As for the game save data I will swap the storage and then OPEN each game to make it create the corresponding folders and then restore
Does it work on 4.1.2 Mexico Retail debloated?
What if i have apps installed and my mmry card is also filled?
Seeing as how it says 4.2 roms only what do you think man? You can try it to see if it works though. You really want to do it on a fresh rom install.

Hello guys I need help. I updated my rooted xsp via pcc yesterday to the latest 4.3 but I did not manage to work. It resulted in bootloops. So with no other choice, I just used flashtool for the first time and it worked. However, I lost all my files in internal storage. Cause I thought flashing will only erase phone data's.
Is there anything would you guys can recommend? data recovery software that can scan our internal memory or some other methods cause I really need to recover some files in there. I Google searched for A couple of hours and none of them worked
Thanks in advance!

I don't remember any program right now, but I know that you MUST NOT delete or transfer any file to your internal storage until you recover it.
Try flashing a custom recovery like TWRP that will allow you to mount USB storage. Then try using a program like AVG file recovery or data recovery in Avg boost speed suite. Avoid writing new data to avoid data being over written.

Ran into some road blocks with CM Nightlies. I install the new one everyday if they have one for download.
I downloaded todays version, rebooted into recovery to install. Now my phone is telling me there is no SD card to mount. Okay, whatever, I go to reboot my phone and now I have an encryption password to access the files on there. I have never set one. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Still no dice. It just keeps telling me it count mount the SD card... Should I try flashing TWRP or another recovery?
So I was able to mount an external SD card and install the update. However, the phone is still encrypted. I never encrypted my phone so I don't even know how to go about getting around this. Does anyone have any ideas?
This phone was working just fine on the Nightlies until this...
Try flashing to a Stock ROM and then going back to Cyanogenmod

Found a fix. Apparently this is a somewhat common problem.
I went to Mounts and Storage on Clockworkmod, then format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). From there I installed the latest Nightlies and Gapps. Lost everything on my phone, but luckily all the important stuff is shared with my cloud services. Thanks for the help man!
