[Solved][Q] Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!----Clockworkmod Recovery

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem with CWMR.
I was on Asylum ICS 14 when I bought a new Transcend 32gb class 4 microsd card.
It worked fine for half a day and when I tried using MX video player later that night, the phone had stopped reading the microsd card.No amount of re-inserting the card would help.The card didn't work with my laptop (running Windows 7) and PC (running Linux) either.So I tried wiping data via CWMR but it shows the error--
Wiping data
Wiping cache
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format
Format complete
I checked and the data gets wiped i.e. all the use apps and settings are cleared.
But the error repeats no matter how many times I've tried to wipe.
I tried flashing a stock GB firmware(KL3 to be exact)and I still get the same error.There is no real problem with the wipe,it works just fine.
Thanks guys

And yes, I've changed the microsd card-it's now a Strontium 32 gb class 10 card.
Not my fault really, my dad just went out and bought the Transcend one
Hmm...sorry about that...I didn't think me rating on my own thread would count !

This is common on pretty much every device out there, it's nothing to worry about.

Really? No disrespect, but there would be at least one thread about it if it was a common problem ?
Anyways, thanks !

It might be a problem with an update, because I'm suddenly having the same error. I'm about to backup my recovery.tar and try to install an older version. Xperia Play 4g with stock 2.3.3, rooted. I've made backups before, and can't find any info as to what a solution is.
The .android_secure folder is a super hidden folder that contains all data from when you move an app to your sd card.
What might be your problem is that you have two of them. One in internal storage and one on an external sd card. Try taking the external one out and backing your phone up to the internal one.

It happened to me also, try this take out your microsd, do factory reset (only on save kernels), format your microsd
Insert it, boot up your phone.
If I'm not wrong, there was a faulty cwmr , which cause this.
Update your kernel

Maybe your card is faulty.
I recently bought sandisk 32 gb card and put up in my galaxy note. It kept saying no card inserted. Same error on windows 7. And after that i come to know that its a factory fault. Got it replaced from the service center.

Fixed.
Flashed abyss kernel 4.2 and did a fullwipe.
Then went back to ParanoidAndroid.
Dunno what caused it, but I no longer care as its fixed

Sorry wrong thread.

Any fix? I need that android secure folder

Can't change permissions!

Right, I couldn't find this in a search. I'm not sure if I'm posing this in the right place, so feel free to yell at me!
After installing CM10 I have noticed that The permissions for both internal storage and external storage are always set to 'Read only', this may have been occurring before I used this ROM, but I'm not sure. I am unable to delete, rename or move files. This is VERY frustrating! On my PC I can temporarily change the Permissions of my micro SD card, but only when inserted without using the phone. When plugged into my phone it goes back to bring read only.
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

I have a similar issue.
I can not delete or move anything from the internal card. It seems the card can not be set as write.
However, i think the issue is kernel related. I am running on the advanced stock kernel and I was going to flash the stock kernel when i had some time to check. I bet of you do that then the issue will be solved.
Please let me know whick kernel you are on now (I presume the kernel that comes with the cm10 download) and if this solves your problem.
It may also be the solution to the screenshot issue that does not let you take screenshots as it says the memeory s in use....

I guess that makes sense, if that is the case I'll just have to wait for a fix!

I have just flashed stock kernel and still got the same problem.
Very weird. I can delte the foursquare folder and some files in varius folders on my internal sd card, but whenever I try to delete any photos pr the camera folder in DCIM it just comes straight back....
and now those files I thought i had deleted are back....
Backing it up and formatting it next...but for some reason its saying it will take 23 hours to copy the files
EDIT
OK, I have backed up and formatted. Went into settings and deleted all content from internal sd card.
Then tried to forat it in recovery, but it failed. When i rebooted it said the internal sd card was in the wrong format so it gave me the option to format it, I did and now it seems to work. It at least allowed me to take a screenshot and save it.

SD suddenly unmounts on V30B

Ok so I am starting this thread to track down the SD unmounting issue present on V30B. Every idea is welcome.
Things I have tried and have not helped me:
Pimp my ROM (tweaks to external memory)
Factory Reset
Format SD (on ROM)
Different SD card

look this bug is not specific to the rom , most of v30b users dont face it ,, try removing "android_secure" folder from sd ,, also re-flahs your current rom on full wipe

Had that issue too.
Things i've done to track down the issue in 7 days testing period.
1) Formatted my SD Card (16Gb Sandisk Class8)
2) some combinations of cluster sizes (reformatting through Card readers in windows - filesystem fat32) and mp3 only for testing
3) Finally, reflash rom (Marvel ICS) and yes, once again i had that issue after receiving some phone calls...
I believe it's the SD Card itself which started to give up due to aging ... (3 years old)
I'll try if that happens again with a 2Gb Samsung
Question: what's the brand, size and speed class of your SD card?

I have tried 2 cards with same results: Amazon class 10 16GB and Kingmax class 4 4GB(included with phone). I was on Froyo before updating to ICS and never had this issue until updating.

BTW, have you tried the tweaks from Pimp my Rom?

Had this problem twice, but for now, no issues. I'll report if that happens again, but my main concern is that there's something going on with the SD Cards or some files.
Maybe ICS has some "sensitivity" with that so we should all start with format and transfer only our crucial files on the card to troubleshoot...

Check my post #4 .... just a bit above all these
So far, no unexpected unmounts, but as far as i'm reading about this issue of ICS on some other cellphones, it might have to do with the source code (I have no idea about these things) of this version, or it's just a coincidence and our SD cards are more sensitive now, with 4.0
First, try to format and restore your basic folders (music, pictures etc..) do not restore all useless folders or "junk" files... keep your SD card and input tray's contacts clean and firmly insert the card.
We'll see how it goes.... by the way, i have no tweaks from Pimp my rom for the microSD.

Ok I just reflashed (same V30B). I will conduct a 1 day validation to see if it is solved.

I had that problem a lot with rrgrrg's IceBOOM, only once in that week I used his 4.01 and non at all in the two days I use 5.01. But I must say that I heard from other ppl that use a v30b version, that they have it a lot and other ppl with the same ROM don't have it at all, so I gues it is a mix that some cards are more 'sensible' and some ROMs can handle it better.

tfs

again it unmounted. I guess we should wait for V30C (if it is ever released) hoping this bug was addressed.

Formatting the SD from the phone solves the problem ....
Save files first on the PC and then copy them back ..

I've had this happen with 28C. I've been using 30B that is not rooted and not had a problem at all. I'm starting to think it's the flash process. I erased all data on the SD card and flashed with Smart Flash. No problems seem it came out.

It is clear that the solution is a pain, but is the only one there ..

Mount issue with internal SD Card-is there a permanent fix?

Thank you to all the developers on here.
I recently wiped everything, flashed the Baked ROM and got the following error messages when trying to use the camara:
---------
No Storage
No external storage available
Insert an SD card before using the camara.
-------------
I have just over a gig available on my internal card and have 27 gig on my external card. So the capacity is not the issue. I also can't download podcasts since it is giving me a similar error message.
I tried sdswap but when I went to reboot, got stuck on the boot animation for a half hour.
I then went into cwm recovery, wiped everything and tried the AOSP ICS 4.04 ROM, but ran into the same issue. I then wiped everything again and tried the AOKP 4.2.2 ROM and am still getting the same errors.
My phone works fine, but I can't take pictures or download any attachments till this gets fixed.
I searched the forums for the exhibit and saw some temporary fixes.....but all of those fixed are gone when phone is rebooted. I don't want to have to do a fix after every reboot. Please help.
Thanks,
David

This is bizarre, I wonder if your device is/was/has gone bad? Also I would avoid SwapSD unless it's been determined the ROM is 100% compatible based on user comments. Those things cause more problems then they solve sometimes. Also have you checked file apps like ES Explorer to see if your cards are being read? Check settings/storage and if you are getting reads on all three storage elements then something else is at work. In that case IDK?!

Thanks. Es file explorer recognizes the external sd card...but clicing on storage (internal sd card), it says its unmounted.
I rebooted into cwm recovery... mounted only the internal sd card, rebooted, and es file manager still says it is unmounted. You are probably right, probably a hardware issue, but it's weird how if I go to system settings, storage, it tells me how much available internal storage I have available which implies the internal sd card is mounted...

During my recent trials, I have learned that you can't mount your ext sd card with CWM, but you have to do it with a computer (at least, that's what I read). CWM was not recognizing my ext sd, either. I did not spend time learning how to get the ext card recognized, as I was worried about solving other problems, but I do remember that CWM can't mount your external card.

I think you meant to say internal sd. Either way, I did read that hooking it up to the laptop will mount it... but I don't want to have to do that after everytime I reboot.... just seeing if there is a permanent fix.

Btw you're not using an app called SD Card Boost are you? If so that is what's causing your problem as the exact same thing happened to me when using that.

Nope--- this whole thing is due to me being a NOOB. NOOB's take notice! Don't be like me.
I realize what the problem was....after switching to baked bean ROM originally, I did a backup with cwm... not realizing that the back up would take most of my internal sd space.... I had less than 100 mb left on the internal card and so the internal card shuts down, even though it has plenty of space to take a few pictures or download some pdfs... it just wasn't accessable.
I freed up another 100 mb on the internal... and lo and behold I can take pictures or download. Now I have the option when using the camera to use the external sd card (not sure why it doesn't give you that option to begin with)...
I was looking at the wrong setting earlier.... I saw I had .96 gig available... but that must have been the ram...not the internal sd card.
Sorry for wasting everyone's time.... I am back to the 4.2.2 AOKP rom and loving it. Sorry everyone.

Hey, I'm kinda having a similar problem (since it's similar and from my lack of posts I cant post on the 4.4 thread. I thought I'd ask here ).
When I flash the 4.4 ROM, it seems my external and internal sd isn't mounted, it gives me an "invalid path" when using Es File Explorer.
Not sure if this is a problem everyone has and it's not fixed yet (If its even a problem at all), or I'm just having this problem, lol.
I'm not receiving this problem on any other rom I flash just the 4.4.
Note: I wipe Dalvik, Cache, and Data. I also tried wiping my system and Ext SD. I tried to Google a solution, but all I found was weird ritual answers, like take out battery and sd. Wait 5 min, while you wait, do the Hokey Pokey, lol.

Unfortunately this is a bug with 4.4. The internal card actually should show up twice in ES Explorer (4.4 ROM only), and only 1 path invalid. The external card has path problems in Titanium Backup and RAM Expander. This is why I ended up not using KitKat for this phone.

Asylum Omni 4.4.3 - Internal SD card slow

Hi.
I'm using Asylum Omni 4.4.3. Yesterday I tried to copu a big file (1,2 Gb) from external SD card (sdcard1) to internal SD card (sdcard0) but at 800Mb the copy stopped. I restarted the phone and tryied with small data and found that, if the data is more than 100Mb, it's easy that the copy stops and the phone have to be reboooted because it remains stuck.
If I try to use the internal SD for backup using TWRP, I'm able to save 1,5Gb of data without problems.
Instead the copy from sdcard0 to sdcard1 is working flawlessly.
I know that in KitKat there were many SD card issues.
But is it possible that 2 different sdcard on the same device have different behaviour ?

Thanks a lot for the hint.
I read the thread.
The weird thing is that I hadn't the problem with SlimBean 4.4.
Then I started to use SlimSaber, and release after release the device had some weird lock, that disappeard using an 4.4 kernel from Chasmodo.
So I tried Asylum Omni.
The external card seems ok even is VFAT and full of music. I listen music everyday with N7Player without issue.
The problem is during writing the internal sdcard, that is an ext4. And happens only with file bigger. Reading is not a problem too, as I simetimes watch films that are in the internal sd card without problems.
Today I tried to move a 2 Gb file with "adb shell" while in recovery and it worked. Slowly, but worked.
I have to try some old release of SlimBean to verify if the problem disappear. I got all my old nandroid somewhere in my notebook.

After switching to exfat for both internal and external(Or sometimes ext4, if i swap out). I never had a problem, and good speeds. That is my recommendation.
I would not spent to much time looking for another way to make it work, because what seems to work for some does not work for others. But exfat seems to fix it for everyone.

Just to notify that SlimKat 4.4 seems not to have such problem. I'ts not fast as SlimSaber or Asylum Omni, but file transfert seems ok.
