[Q] TWRP can't write sdcard1 - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a big problem with twrp since a few weeks; as the title says, it cant write my external sd. When I do a backup or just rename one, it says "Complete" but after a reboot the files are gone. So I can only restore old backups, but cant make new ones. Any ideas how to fix this?

Are u using the latest version?
Did it work before the few weeks?
What did u do at the moment it didn't work anymore?
Can u add a flashable zip on the sdcard and can twrp then flash it?

I am using TWRP 2.6.3
and yes, it worked perfectly fine before.
One day, I did a backup and flashed some zips made by me. My phone was bricked (as expected ) and when I wanted to restore the backup, it was gone! So I needed to restore an old backup, that worked.
Flashing zips still works.
I already tried re-mounting the sd and re-flashing TWRP, but that doesnt help

That's a rare bug/problem i never have seen before.
So the rom itself can read and write to sdcard1. Can u try to use the new TWRP 2.8.0.1 or even try cwm. The recovery's should have access to all the partitions.
I don't know if i can help u fix this. Never heard of it. Maybe search the web and hope u can find something there? Sorry.

The problems are extending. Google play music cant save files on the external storage and the camera refuses to take pictures since i mounted the DCIM on the sdcard1

Try another sdcard?

Do you think reformatting the card could help? Because I dont have another card...

Maybe it will, bit if it is the card it self nope.

[Q] CWM internal SD card, cant restore

HI guys!
I want to flash cm7 to my new p990 but for some reason the SD card I used in my old phone wont mount. "Alright no problem, ill just use the INTERNAL sd card." Probably not the best idea.
Phone is rooted, installed rom manager and flashed CWM 5.0.2.0.
I tried to back up my stock image to the SD card but CWM wont mount the SD card, and I cant choose internal. I managed to do a nandroid back in CWM, but I had to choose where to put it in ROM MANAGER. All went well. Flashed CM to the phone. Now im on CM and got a hold of ROM MANAGER again and I want to flash the stock rom back.
The thing is, this time rom manager doesn't recognize my internal SD card either, and neither will CWM. Any way to flash the new CWM 5.0.2.3 through CWM?
CWM 5.0.2.3 supposedly fixes my issue but I have a feeling i cant do it that way.
Any help would be appreciated

You don't need anything fancy to install 5.0.2.3 (which I suppose you meant to write.) Just download the latest here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745 and choose which version you want to install, external or internal, which in your case seems to be internal.
That should put you right where you want to restore the backup from your internal card.
EDIT: Oh, and remember to turn the phone completely off instead of just rebooting, to get your sdcard mounted again (could be that's all you need to do.)
EDIT2: I've never used ROM Manager to backup, but if it gives you the opportunity to put backups somewhere else than the root of the card (your post seems to imply this), use a file manager to move the backup to the root of the card before rebooting into CWM.
Thats what I want to do. But I need a way of installing it. CWM cant flash over itself, cant it? And I cant get rom manager to do it either.
EDIT: LOL, im a RETARD!!
All the files I need to flash it through ADB are all there in the download...
Thx again man!!

You don't have access to a computer? You need a computer to install another version of CWM. (Well, there are other ways, but it's much easier from a PC.)

5.0.2.0 is compatible with 5.0.2.3 right?
After restoring it wont boot. Restoring again now.

You may have to convert your partitions back to ext3 before restoring with this CWM-installable script http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=720818&d=1316120010. (CWM 5.0.2.3 should in theory do it for you, but I've never gotten it to work.). Mount your sdcard from within CWM, copy it from PC to card, then install it.
No, the sd-ext message does not matter.
Does this format my entire phone with backups and all or does it just convert it?
Did my filesystem go over to ext4 when i installed CM7?

It formats the /system, /data and /cache partitions, but doesn't touch your sd-cards, so your backup is safe.
Yes, the latest versions of CM7 use ext4 for /system

It depends on what I'm doing. Right now I'm on MCR GR3. I frequently flash back to stock 2.2.2 to check if the app I'm currently making works as expected, and sometimes I flash CM7 to test some specific features there.
If you're asking what I'd recommend I'd say go with MCR GR3 when the prebake comes out, or Topogigi 1.8 which will be based on said prebake.
Hmmm. okay, thanks
I kinda like the stock rom but I would like the overclocking and possibly undervolting that aditional roms have. The battery time I had on cm7 was SICK. I fear I wont get that on the stock rom. Im having a try at topogigi v1.7, but I having some problems. Like, can I use ur baseband switcher app to change the baseband I have, and is it necessary? tried flashing it without flashing new baseband (cuz I dont know how ) and then it just bootlooped.
Ill check out MCR GR3

Slight misunderstanding here, it's not a baseband-switcher, for that you need to go through the whole smartflash-dance again. It allows you to install a different ril, that's all.

Topogigi 1.7 works fine without a new baseband, but not all phones can boot with the undervolt of the default kernel. (He has an optional kernel with stock voltages available which probably will fix the bootloop for you.)
Ill check out MCR GR3

The prebaked version isn't ready yet, but will likely be very soon. I expect Topogigi to release 1.8 not long after that.
have same issue. thanks for ideas.

Backup your sdcard's data to your PC using a USB adapter then FORMAT it in FAT32 format finally DOWNLOAD again the rom.
I think your sdcard might be corrupted or the rom file you downloaded might not be downloaded correctly so the file is corrupted too.
Try it and report

Thanks. I'll report soon.
After doing the 3 usual wipes in CWM recovery
Go to Mount and storage and see if there is anything mounted like cache or sd-ext (if yes, unmount it then try flashing the ROM)
If that doesn't work try a different ROM.
Additionally, reflash CWM5 and restore your old Nandroid Backup
Report back.
Good luck...

[Q] backup dissappeared after flashing ROM

So I have a C6603 that had andoid 4.3. I rooted it and flashed the ROM after a loooong time of finding the right assets, anyway.... I backed up my 4.3 using CWM, then I flashed my ROM to the PAC-ROM. I saved the backup on my SD-card and I can't find it anywhere. The phone works with a few minor hickups, but nothing i can't handle. I'm afraid the SD-card was formatted and my backup is gone..... Is there now no way i can revert to stock android as it were, installing 4.4 when that arrives and so on???

first download any root browser and go to data/media/clockworkmod/backup and check if the backup in there , if not then go to your sdcard and check lost.dir folder and check the lost.dir folder on internal storage , check the size of the files in it , if the size is big ( approximately = size of the backups ) then your backup is been lost and not deleted and u can recover it easily
i wish u can find your backup bro

Just copy/paste the backup to the sd card clockworkmod folder
But beware is you on a older version of recovery you cant restore it because of a md5 mismatch and twrp wil not reconize the nandroid unless you change the format of the backup

The backup already is there, but as I installed the ROM the phone switched from CWM recovery to Team Win Recovery project, and it can't find the backup! I downloaded ROM manager and chose CWM as the recovery program, but everytime the phone boots into recovery it launches TWRP, which does not find the backup. The backup was easily found in ROM manager and it told me that it would turn of my phone and get back to the old 4.3, as soon as it turned back on it launched TWRP and it did not do anything -_-

[Q][Helprequest]repartitioning gone wrong?

I followed the steps in Neo's thread about repartitioning and ended up in sh** where I can not see sdcard0 (internal memory) and phone says there is no micro sd card inserted even though it is.
I tried with terminal commands to fix storage permissions, but it doesn't allow me anything as it says files are read only.
I flashed the uninstaller as well which says it should help and did not help.
Any other ideas? :/

Thank you very much for answer, almost gave up on the phone pretty much.
Twrp is 2.8.xxx something (one supplied with Neo's rom), I tried with 3.0 did not help. Tried with Clockworkmod didnt help either.
I will search for AdrianDC TWRP and give it a go.
Cm13 I tried but did not want to apply the storage change because it could not find "system" partition, (almost bricked it I guess) but I managed to fix that with stock rom, and could later reflash cm 12.1
But I will try flashing CM13 again, and come back with info in case you will be able to give some input again!
Thanks for now!

Cheers for links, Tried with CM13, no success like before getting error when flashing the zip:
"sdcard could not be mounted (ext4/exfat ?) please verify your partition file system
You are agreeing to format your SDCard
UserData partition still contains files"
so doesnt let me flash 13.
And to repair the partitions I guess I just try the TWRP and under advance the repair option right?
Terribly sorry to bother so much, but I like the phone, and would love to fix it again!

and now can not flash anything anymore (so have to flash official rom again to start up my phone)
Maybe im doing something wrong with flashing, but i doubt it. (flashtool64 is which im using) fastboot, and under the option of select kernel to flash.
then rest is done in recovery anyway with installing, right?
At the moment I am installing official rom, so I can start over with flashing twrp, rebooting, then flashing cm13
One thing I learned to always backup working system before doing anything!

I'm sorry to hear that.
Once stock rom is on it, try to flash neos kernel and then boot into recovery. In there flash Adriandc's twrp (the zip file).
After that reboot and try to flash cm13. If this still doesn't work you could try Adriandc's files for repartitioning. He did some awesome work.
I'm on my phone right now so I'll keep it short, if you need further assistance I'll try to help you as soon as i get to my PC

Thanks!
Tried exactly like that, same error when trying to flash cm13 :"Updater process ended with ERROR:7
Error installing zip file ".zip"
I guess I ruined something really bad when trying to repartion following neo's guide, (twrp says about partitions this:
- Internal storage: (1812mb)
- Legacy SDCard (0mb)
- Micro SDCard (7488mb)
-USB OTG (0mb)
If you have any more suggestions I can try, otherwise we can give up! feels like nothing would work, though much love for taking your time trying to help me! <3

It doesn't look that bad at all. Which version of TWRP is currently on your phone? (also the build date)
It looks like basketbuild is down right now, but once it's back up again you could try this zip:
https://basketbuild.com/devs/AdrianDC/CyanogenMod/XperiaBlue
it will repartition your phone to it's original partition table

Oh that sounds exactly what I would need yea!
At the moment I reflashed cm12.1 (neo's) which installs 2.8.6.x twrp. Build date was january i think. (phone is booting up still)
I will try this zip as soon as basketbuild is up and will let you know what happens. (I guess i just reboot into twrp and flash the zip)?

Yeah, boot into TWRP, flash a new TWRP (I think it was 20th july or newer), then reboot straight into recovery again and flash the restore_sd zip
My phone booted up now with the 12.1, and there is internal memory back, 11gb out of 11gb free, accessable, and everything.. No idea what caused it to appear again but something what you said basically helped me and restored it back to original.
So thank you a lot! I kinda want to try and repartition it again to have more space for apps, but im afraid ill just blow it again.
You think I should try installing cm13 now as storage looks normal again?

I'm really glad you managed to restore it! Mint is still a great device.
Yeah, but CM13 will repartition your phone again (automatically). It will warn you once that all data will be lost, on second attempt it will flash just fine.
Good luck
