I recently rooted my phone using the Chinese vroot tool and then installed SuperSU to remove the Chinese su. After that I installed busybox, pimp my rom, system cleaner and no bloat free to remove all the crap Samsung put on this phone. Now think I might have gone a bit overboard with my cleaning... The problem I have is that i can take a few photos, then close the app, re-open the photo app and then if I try to take a photo it won't save it to the sd card until I unmount and remount the sd card. Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks for your help

The problem is more complicated than i thought. The phone recognizes the extrenal SD but only in read-only mode. I can only briefly write to it before it gets back at read-only mode
I reflashed the stock firmware with Odin but the problem is still there.
It goes so far that if I connect the phone to my PC with USB the external SD Card is found but it doesn't show any folders or files when I select it.
And after a little further investigation I found that I can take pictures as normal (save to external SD) untill i open the file explorer, then the external SD card only gets read-only!! Frustrating!
Update: looks like the sd card itself is the problem. I put in a different one and everything seems normal.
I'll try to do a chkdsk on the old one.
It was a corrupted file system. Fixed it and everything is back to normal.

So I was getting unknown reason 18 error when trying to install certain apps from the market.
I've googled and search the forum. The best answer I could get was to wipe and reinstall the ROM, which I did not want to do.
Then I checked the logs and figured out the problem was that all those apps that would fail were trying to install on SD card by default.
The solution: move all the apps back to phone, put your microSD into a card reader and delete .android_secure folder. That's it!
didn't work for me
Worked
That worked for me. For ever I could not update Sky map. When I could not install Angry Birds I went "searching".
Thank you for the fix.
I don't think it'll work for me either.
None of my apps are on my SD. I know this because I can't even do that. When I try to transfer an app to sd it the progress bar just hangs there (doesn't move it just shows the striped pattern)
It worked!
Hey ho, it worked!! Finally the nagging issue is resolved (for me)
I can't find that folder/file! :S
.android_secure is hidden, you need to enable showing hidden files on your file manager. I use ES File Manager and it has such feature.
...or, you can just make sure your app is installed on the phone, then unmount the SD before updating.

Holy crap! It worked for me. I didn't have anything installed on the SD card either.
when your market chache is moved to the SD then move it back to the internal memory and clear the market data...
Worked for me... Thanks a lot...
i've had this error for quite some time - i realized i need to move the app back to phone in order to update it and then move it back to SD card.
Will try this method!
Thanks for posting
thank god this!!!!! work i'm was getting piss off at is unknown 18 **** it was hunting me in my dreams THANKYOU
Please, I have the same problem but I haven't space in my phone to return the SD apps. Is there another way to solve this?
Simple FIX
Just take out the sd card, install whatever is giving you an error, then pop the sd card back in. No fuss no muss!
Nice SIMPLE solution!
Thank you. Didn't involve rooting the phone, installing adb, saying magic mantras etc. etc.
Thanks

Ok, so I figured out a solution that is hopefully "better" and "quicker" for all. Simply connect your phone to your computer (as USB Mass storage), browse to the folder '.android_secure' (make sure you can view hidden files/folders in windows) and delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec' (I just renamed it 'smdl2tmp1.asec.delete' just in case it didn't work).
Problem solved! Everything updates just fine now and I didn't have to move any apps back from the SD card to the phone.

Yea...just this guys.
zero need to delete, move, etc.
Just unmount the SD, instead of taking it out...

Hi, I'm totally mystified why a number of my photo files (jpgs) are not accessible via Quickpic or ES File Explorer. They're all on my external card and were, until a few days ago, viewable without problems. In Quickpic the images show as grey squares and when I try to open them I get 'Load Failed'. I have a similar problem in ES Explorer and it won't let me move the files. However, in stock Gallery the pics are there and I can open them.
The only thing I can think of that may be causing problems is to do with the mapping of the NTFS formatted SD Card. I was using NTFSSD but have tried all the other mount apps in an attempt to try and resolve the issue. I'm currently using Paragon which seems to work ok.
I've also uninstalled quickpic along with clearing the Dalvic and partition caches but nothing seems to cure it.
To be honest I've had loads of trouble accessing the internal and external cards since I formatted the external as NTFS.
I'm beginning to think the image files are corrupted but it's odd that I can see them using the stock gallery app. I'd be really grateful for any advice anyone could offer on this.
Many thanks,
- Bruce

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 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.

Hey everyone,
My friend gave me his tab p1000... but I cannot seem to remove apps or even google user account even after i have:
- Reset the phone
- Flashed stock rom v5 ROM with ODIN (with repartition and also flashed dbdata).
- I also tried NAND Erase All, which soft bricked the tab but i was able to get it back.
Even with all this, all the apps are still there.. when the tab loads up.
The Apps keep crashing every minute though.. so they are not stable.
--- Things Note:
1.
After flashing stock rom, when it enters recovery i get the following errors:
part(1): Checksum error
MMC verification failed
and
cannot find: /preload/app folder
2.
There are some weird files under the internal memory root folder that cannot be deleted.
Well you can delete them but they come right back up when you remount the internal drive(16gb).
Also the application folders cannot be deleted.. they reappear once you remount the internal drive.
the files are:
- Copy of Shortcut to (1/2/3/4).lnk
- glweax.exe
- glweax.scr
- x.exe
- xxx.dll
- zjroic.exe
- zjroic.scr
-xjdqob.exe
3.
There is an app called - Perfect Applock - that might have something to do with this.. Not sure.
I have read in forums, to put the phone in flight mode and restart it, then try to go to app manager within 30sec to uninstall the app.
i tried that but it still doesnt work. the App still exists..
btw, i have also tried removing the apps via app manager, that doesnt work. although it says sucessfully uninstalled.
when you reboot the tab, all the apps are present.
4.
I installed root app using superoneclick so that i can install a root explorer app - but it kept crashing.
---
My guess, is that there is a virus, or something that is recreating the apps. or not granting access to where the apps are stored (guessing in /preload/app).
i have read forums and some people said it might be a faulty internal storage.. i did the checks(some commands using adb) to verify but it was negative.
so i dont think the internal storage is bad.
Right now i am stuck... the tab has stock rom v5 installed right now.. not rooted and with 3e recovery.
any help will be greatly appreciated.. thank you in advance.

correct me if i am wrong.. but isnt wiping a rom the same as flashing a rom??
i have flashed the stock rom.. and the apps werent deleted.
if its not the same, then how do i wipe a rom??
---
Just to add, i have noticed that i cannot format the internal storage.
- tried formating by phone (settings > sd card and device storage > format usb storage). it completes but nothing gets deleted.
- tried formating from computer, - it doesnt complete.
- tried formating with partition wizard.. it completes succesfully but nothing gets deleted.
Hence i think the issue is - something is preventing access to internal storage..
is there any app/adb command that i can force format the phones internal storage??
Stubborn data/apps is a sign of internal storage going bad.

Formatting from computer formats your sd card..and no, flashing a rom via recovery does not necessarily mean a data wipe...try following ChrisCTX's guide...search for it

Hey Gogol,
thaaanks a lot. The guide worked after several tries.
Main problem was flashing cm9 pics rom. It wouldn't complete. But I kept trying and it worked.
I now hv cyanogen mod 9 with ics. Using the tab to reply right now.
One issue tho is that the camera cannot store in internal storage. It needs an sdcard.
Is there a work around on this.
I looked under settings-storage and the internal storage is recognized.
And also under camera settings internal storage is chosen as storage location but it cannot save there.
Any Ideas? Guess I Have to find a way to make internal storage and sdcard storage the same.
Thanks

i forgot but it looked for a guide to switch or exchange internal and sd-card.
so the tablet will think its using the internal storage but its actually using the sd-card.
its somthing like this:
If you take a root file browser and edit /system/etc/volb.fstab, there are two sections you need to edit. "dev_mount emmc /mnt/emmc" changes to "dev_mount emmc /mnt/Edvard" and "dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard" changes to "dev_mount SD card /mnt/emmc".
i cant confirm this is what i did.. but i am sure i edited the volb.fstab... i had to google around for a while till i found one that works for me.
make sure you backup your volb.fstab before you make changes.
Note: i found cyanogen mode to be slow running from sd-card.. so i changed to a regular gingerbread rom. and i was able to edit the volb.fstab with sucess.. and the camera was able to save pics.. the tablet just always had the - NO SD-CARD icon at the top all the time. coz it thought the sd-card is the internal storage.. and the internal storage which i removed was the sd-card - which i destroyed.
hope this helps.
So I was getting ready to flash a new rom, and decided to delete some un-needed files off my sdcard. Well i guesed it was a slip of hand, but somehow everything on my sd card got deleted.
I'm worried, is my Safestrap still usable?! My phone didnt crash or anything, but i'm too afraid to reboot incase safestrap cant launch and it bricks or something. Does any critical safestrap data get installed on the sdcard?! I checked the safestrap app (3.11) and it said I was installed, and I hit installed again just to be sure.
Am I safe? (no pun intended)
Safestrap does not store any files on your micro SD card. You're totally fine to reboot the system, or reboot to recovery. Sorry to hear about your SD card :/
Pull the card, put it in a laptop, use handy recovery. Its free and found all my files when I did the same thing.
