format it with the option in settings or with your computer
I searched but couldn't find an answer.
When I did "wipe data/cache" through Recovery, I thought that it would format the internal SD, but it doesn't.
Rather than me just deleting everything in the SD from Windows, is there any other automated way?
Thanks.
I think you could just unmount the internal sd and format it from the phone settings before flashing...
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Remember this will remove everything from the phone, all aps, data, system settings etc.
I would format the internal SD memory through the Settings > SD card and phone storage > Unmount Internal SD Card and then format SD Card.
Turn off the phone.
Remove the SIM and External SD card then flash with a new firmware. Ensure you click repartition.
After flash, format again the internal memory if you wish.
Switch off and insert your SIM then start again. Enter your google account details to enable the Market again then download the aps.
Wish you luck with it.

So this will work right?
Your last sentence has made me a bit uneasy.
Yes it will work.
If you don't wish to flash the firmware just do the format of the internal SD memory as previously described.
I would format the internal SD memory through the Settings > SD card and phone storage > Unmount Internal SD Card and then format SD Card.

using this code will do what you want

So just to expand on this a little...
my phone has been ****ty lately, loading programs slowly, even when there's only one program running, music playback freezes, etc.
i'm thinking of formatting it and starting over, is this a good thing? How can i back up my contacts before formatting?
****
this is not a good thing
if you choose to copy your contacts, the phone only ****ing copies some google contacts bull****. so it copied all the email addresses i already have, but didn't copy a single ****ing phone #.
now i have to fiddle with the stupid thing to get all my settings ideal, manually enter all my contacts by emailing people and asking for their # then figure out why my screen dims and undims every few seconds. plus it won't even let me change the wallpaper
Hello,
I have the stock CM 6.1.1 installed.
Yesterday after connecting the phone as usb drive, all my apps disappeared from the drawer and the icons on the homescreen aren't working anymore.
Do you know what this is and how to fix this?
Below a screen of the application menu.
Thanks,
shaab
Isn't it so that when connecting SD as USB storage the phone has to unmount sdcard and loses access to data on it. On USB drive disconnection phone should remount the card.
Have you tried a reboot?

Yes, it has to unmount / mount the card. I have access to the sd card from the file manager.
I rebootet and removed the sd but no change.

It's weird. Have you tried another app manager ? Have you check if they are still on your SD ?

If I click on an application in the system menu there is only a "move" button, but not a "move to ...".
When I click move it opens a window with "Move of the application failed. The application does not exist."

I think I found the problem.
I updated my Navigon maps from Q1 to Q3 with Navigon Fresh.
It seems that Fresh delete and replace the folder with the Apps...
I hope my Titanium Backup is not so long ago.
My phone keeps saying that the sd card is safe to remove and i have no access to any files or anything. When formatting in CWM it says no sd card detected and when i try to mount USB storage it just loads endlessly. Help please?
Actually I fixed it. Anyone with same problem, format your SD from the phone's storage settings (not CWM).

[Q] Media Scanner causing phone to continually reboot?
A weird issue manifested on my phone today ... the phone started, upon boot up, to spontaneously reboot. It would boot up within 30s, at which point I unlock it an pulldown the notifications screen (to see what was going on).
I saw several instances of "media scanner running" occurring - over the course of various trials I would see the following messages alternate on the top status bar.
Media scanner running... (system storage)
Media scanner running... (SD card)
Media scanner running.... (USB storage)
Media scanning completed
...while below in the notification areas I'd see the "Media scanning", "Media scanning...USB storage" etc messages periodically appear.
The phone would first lockup, then reboot perhaps 3 out of every 4 startups. Several of those times the last message I saw prior to the lockup was Media scanner running.... (USB storage).
I pulled out the 32FB Sandisk SD card, then tried booting the phone several times, and this time no issue - booted up fine, no lockups nor auto-reboots. Note though that I've had the SD card installed for over a year, and the problem only cropped up today.
Same problem on Samsung Galaxy Ace
I'm experiencing the exactly same problem on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace (Gingerbread 2.3.6).
Reboots with SD card mounted and working fine with SD card unmounted.
I'm using Link2SD with a 2nd ext2 partition, and when SD card is unmounted, all Linked apps work perfectly fine.
I've tried removing and re-inserting SD card and also recreating mount scripts to no use.
What might be the possible causes of this problem???
I can't afford formatting the SD card as yet, as I'm a little short on disk space. I've tried mounting the card on my PC and run chkdsk, but found no errors.
Is this problem related to Link2SD???
Please :fingers-crossed: tell me if there's any other solution other than killing my phone i.e. wiping all data.
PLEASE HELP :silly:

I really find this odd. When you link an app using Link2SD, all the app data is linked to ext partition of your SD card. If all went along right, then once you unmount your SD card, all linked apps shouldn't work anymore. This is because the ext partition is no longer available which contains the app data and files. I don't know why all of your linked app works fine. I completely agree with @aditya rathee. The problem could be with your SD card. Try to restart the phone with another working SD card and post the result.

When you format your SD card, only the data in SD card is formatted while data in the ext2 partition is still left behind. If you want to format your ext2 partition, you can do that too. To do that, goto CWM Recoverymod, choose "mounts and storage">format /sdcard (To format just SD card data) and/or format /sd-ext (To format ext partition data). Use Titanium Backup app to take backup of all the installed app data. This data is backed-up to your SD card, so make sure to copy it to other storage media before you format your SD card. Once you have finished the backup, format both SD card and SD-ext, then copy the backup data back to SD card, reinstall Titanium Backup and Link2SD, run Link2SD to link your ext partition, and finally run Titanium Backup to restore all the previously installed app with data and link the apps back with Link2SD. Hope I helped
@mahithm, I formatted my SD card, but the problem is still there. I've ascertained the problem is with my memory card. I scanned it with my anti-virus, check for any disk errors and ran a surface test with Hard disk sentinal. No problems were identified.
One thing's for sure, the apps on my second partition are working fine even the one's who's apk+dex+data are linked.
If I unmount my SD card, the phone worked an whole day without issues. As soon I mounted it, Media Scanner starts and the phone reboots.
My post on the Link2SD thread hasn't got any responses.
I can access all content from my PC (on my FAT32 partition i.e.)
Please Help!

Can you try again with an another working SD Card? If the problem still persists, I suggest you reinstall this rom. BTW what rom are you using now? Sometimes accidently deleting a system file could cause such errors. If the problem is with your Link2SD, then I suggest using CronMod script to increase your internal memory. All it needs is a rooted phone and an ext partition. Before flashing the script from the CWM recoverymod, don't forget to format your ext partition. Here is the link,
CronMod-INT2EXT
Do post your result. Hope I Helped

1. A blank SD card doesn't bootloop.
2. My current SD card when formatted and blank doesn't reboot automatically.
3. When I delete .android_secure folder from SD card, phone works fine.
4. I don't think I deliberately deleted any system files.
5. I haven't changed the ROM. It's the stock ROM of Galaxy Ace.
6. Is it possible that some .asec is interfering with some system file
7. I have ruled out Link2SD as the cause, even deleting the app didn't make a difference.
Fully, this helps you to help he out further.
Thanks!

Can you try reinstalling the stock rom? Don't forget to Wipe data/ fatcory reset, Wipe cache partitions, Mount and Storage> Format /system, Wipe Dalvik cache and Wipe battery stats from CWM Recoverymod before you flash stock rom through odin. Also format both SDcard and ext partition. Use Titanium Backup to take backup of all the application data. Don't install Link2SD and lets see if the problem still persists. Do post the result.
