Hey all,
First post so hope I'm doing this right.
I'm running ICS Infinitum Rom with Semaphore Kernel 1.1.1 on my GT i9000 and i've been trying to use the latest version of Google Play Music.
It can play files from my internal SD fine, but i'm having trouble getting it to play files from the emmc/audio folder. It locates all the music there but i get an error reading "Couldn't play the track you requested".
I've tried force closing and clearing data, this does not work. So i re-flashed rom and kernel. This worked. Until i flashed the Beats audio by dre.zip.
Same thing happens. So after reflashing Rom again it works for maybe two days, then i get the same error as before.
So i know somehow this works. But not sure why it changed all of a sudden?
I'm wondering if it has anything to do with format of SD?
Any help, greatly appreciated.
That sounds to me as though you have a corrupt file or a bad external sd in which case try to format it.. or you might need to clear the cache in CWM unless of course you already have done so then im out of options. seems strange that it works for some time though.
And reflashing seems a bit excessive to keep doing, you could try a different rom and see...
Yeh I tried to format but that didn't work. And a cache clear from recovery but no luck. Which rom would you recommend to try?

That I can't really advise you on as I'm using the same ROM as you, just an older version. But try any really, just read up on some bugs they might be having. I'm going to look for a new one now to try anyway so..
I just reflashed the same from/kernel again. Then before using titanium backup to restore apps I tried Google music. It worked. So then I restored all other apps/data then rebooted. After reboot music didn't work. So it must be something from my backup affecting this program. Is trial and error the only way to figure this out?

Okay, so I've changed Rom. Gone back to aokp build 36. Google music works fine now. Although I've noticed that ES Explorer is reading my sd card and emmc as though they've swapped?

Download the 2 attachments.
Flash the fix 1 in recovery and reboot into the Rom. Come back to recovery and flash fix 2. The emmc and the sd won't be swapped now.

Update: So after still having various problems with Google music, I tried Apollo which worked well (although I had a horrid battery drain when using) now I'm on SlimIcs using the stock music app. It hasn't missed a beat and reads my SD card well.

Hi all,
First time poster; be nice please
I've recently upgraded my HTC Velocity with the CM10 and AOKP mods and both have been working great.
Prior to this, I had the ICS ROM installed which was posted by Leigh Kennedy (if memory serves).
Anyway, the issue I'm having is with both of the JB ROMs above, the SD Card is not detectable at all. When the phone boots, sometimes it will mount, sometimes it won't. When it doesn't mount, I do so manually via Settings > Storage > Mount SD Card.
It will mount successfully, and I can browse through the card via File Explorer (with Root Access), so it's definitely accessible.
However I find that any apps that require SD Card access (ie. Camera, Recording Software, Music even) say that there is no SD Card detected/inserted.
I've tried 3 different MicroSD cards (2GB, 8GB and 32GB (32GB is my main card), and completely wiped them and reformatted to FAT32), no change to the detection issue.
I've also tried to format via CWM in Recovery Mode, which shows to be successful on the format, but no change to the issue.
I initially thought it was the 32GB MicroSD card having the problem, but the same issue replicating on 2 other cards tells me otherwise.
I've completely wiped my phone clean each time (Data, System, Cache and Dalvik Cache), no change to the problem (which funnily enough doesn't make a lot of sense as I can access the SD Card in Recovery Mode perfectly fine?)
Any help with this one is greatly appreciated, as I'm at a loss
NB: My SD Card was working fine on ICS, the issue only started after upgrading to the JB ROMs above.

while the sd not being accessible on your computer is known, you should still be able to access via file browsers and other apps that need access. my camera stores to internal, and Apollo seems to find music on my external without a hitch. Unfortunately it sounds like you've done everything I would suggest, short of trying a Factory Reset

Thanks for the reply homeslice.
I just tried a Factory Reset then, and unfortunately to no avail
I'm surprised that I'm the only person with this particular issue on this phone (I've seen other posts on different handsets with a similar issue, which was deemed to be the SD Card, but in my case all 3 of the ones I've tested have fallen short of fixing the problem).
Got any other ideas? Because I love both ROMs, but the issue with the SD card is more annoying than anything.
EDIT: Ok, just reformatted everything once more, and installed the PAC-Man ROM, still broken.
Whether it's relevant or not, I even partitioned the SD Card to see whether the phone could pick it up via different apps, no chance.
Where did you partition the card and with what software...
I would recommend either using the phone or recovery...
Windows sometimes makes cards unusuable

I partitioned the SD card via CWM recovery, twice.
Still don't know what is causing it
Anyone else?

Really? The recovery could be causing this? Hmm.. not something I considered but happy to try it.
Won't he able to do so till late tonight, early tomorrow morning but I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks for the advice!

OK, so I managed to flash TWRP Recovery successfully (couldn't do it via the Goo Manager, had to flash it manually via adb which was fine).
Sadly, the SD card issue still exists.
One thing I did notice however, with TWRP every time I tried to clear anything (Data/System/Cache/Dalvik Cache/Factory Reset), it came up 'Unable to mount emmc'.
Now I'm not entirely sure what this is, but the only time I have seen it is when loading Bootloader (as eMMC-boot).
Does this have any relevance to my current problem? CWM never used to error out like that.
NB: Having a hard time trying to find a link for download of WCX Recovery (could just be tired from work, who knows), but I'll keep trying.
I am not sure...
Can you make phone calls if your phone boots...
It sounds like you might have lost your efs partition... where your imei lives...
I am not sure how to fix...
I think there is a thread talking about it

Hmm, well the IMEI is still available via About Phone, so not sure if that's the same as what you're referring to.
However, I think I've had a development (not a good one though).
After reflashing CWM I tried mounting and/or reformatting emmc, it's unable to do anything with emmc at all.
When the recovery was TWRP, it didn't like emmc either, so something tells me emmc plus my storage issue are related.
I've done as much as I can think of, short of relocking bootloader and reflashing the RUU for the Velocity (which is currently being downloaded).
Can anyone think of anything else? Or is an RUU flash my absolute last resort?
Thanks for help so far guys, much appreciated.
EDIT: Helps if I actually answer your question rignfool.. lol. Yeah I can do absolutely anything I would normally on this phone with the custom ROM, short of apps accessing storage.
Well.. things have now taken a turn for the worst.
5% into my RUU reflash, ROM Utility crashes and now phone is stuck on an RUU bootloop....
Still trying to work it out, but I get the feeling it's not gonna go well..

Did you relock the bootloader before running the RUU? This is necessary. Also, were you last running an ICS ROM? If you were, you have an ICS boot loader and you need to run an ICS RUU. Lastly, make sure you are in Fastboot USB mode when running the RUU

Yeah, definitely made sure that bootloader was locked/relocked, as I found the RUU kept crashing when it was unlocked (couldn't read any information off the phone, and the phone auto-booted into Fastboot after relocking the bootloader in any case, as it couldn't load the OS).
And no I wasn't running an ICS ROM at the time (per my initial post of running 2 JB ROMs at different times (CM10 and AOKP)).
After a bit of perseverance I got the RUU to go through successfully, and lo and behold the SD Card issue has miraculously disappeared (which isn't overly surprising considering it's gone right back to Factory Defaults and some).
It seems the PC required the Utility to run in Realtime Priority as opposed to Normal.. lol.
I'll now look into reflashing the relevant JB ROMs and post back shortly with results.
WOOHOO! ..... I mean, yeah, it works now. lol
It seems that during the course of flashing the ROMs previously, my phone lost touch with itself; by that I mean it was unable to access it's own Internal Storage and part of it's External Storage (which seems to be part and parcel of the 'emmc' error I was receiving earlier).
Camera loads, Music loads, it all works! :victory:
Thanks for your help homeslice and rignfool, much appreciated.
Now to enjoy those ROMs to their full potential!
On a side note though, have you ever had an issue reported like this on any other handset homeslice? or rignfool for that matter?
The only time I heard of people not being able to access storage like that... was when their imei got wiped...
From what I understand its a clockwork issue

Yeah I did manage to find a working recovery image for wcxrecovery eventually, but I find TWRP a lot better to be honest (CWM and WCX are also good though).
I guess it's just personal preference.
Hello,
Yesterday I was trying to install a custom rom on my Xperia SP. Long story short the ROMS I tried were working fine but the screen was flickering cause of the kernel. So I tried switching back to the stock ftf and kernel (12.1.A.1.207). It all worked fine, until I realised that every picture/music/app data and in general, every single file I had on the internal storage was gone! It's as if I had just bought the phone, with only a few folders on the internal storage as it showed on ES File Explorer...
What's weird is that the external sd card is fine. Everything I had from the previous phone is still there.
I have installed a ton of ROMS on my previous phone, but nothing like this had happened. So I thought I didn't have to do a backup... Any thoughts what could've gone wrong? Was the internal storage formatted somehow? Please... I lost all my pictures with my friends/family
Thanks in advance...

You flashed the ftf in flashtool? There's an option in flashtool to skip data wipe, if you don't check it it will format the internal storage

Wow really? I've flashed an ftf yeah, but I wanted to switch from the flickering screen of cyanogenmod to a stock ftf file.
Anyway, I flashed a lot of ftfs on my old Xperia Tipo in the past, and I was always ticking "wipe data". But all it was doing was a factory reset...not formatting my storage...
Do you know a possible recovery program? Because I'm trying to find one right now

Anyway...I decided to move on. After searching for a while, I discovered that you can retrieve lost files, but only those which were on the external sd card, which was fine for me. SO IF ANYONE ELSE LOST HIS/HER DATA ON THE INTERNAL STORAGE, DON'T EVEN BOTHER WITH RECOVERY PROGRAMS, THEY ONLY WORK FOR THE SD CARD. TRUST ME, I TRIED ALMOST EACH ONE OF THEM.
I downloaded all the songs/games I had before.., but I cared about my pictures videos much more than my game's progress
I flashed the good old 12.1.A.1.205 ftf and it works just fine...
It's a shame you can't install custom roms in this phone without having the screen flickering all the time when u flash a custom kernel...
Thanks for the help guys
