Internal memory is "locked"

Dear guys,
I have a very strange problem with my tab. The internal memory seems to be “read only” after restart.
Ai have this problem after I stopped a transfer between my laptop and the tab (a movie). The problem is that o can’t format internal memory, to fix any fat leaks. I try to wipe all, flash with every know firmware from h__p://w w w.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-p1000.htm, format internal memory from CWM. Every format command works (finish format ok),
I can used the space on tab (even accessing from laptop) but when I restart my tablet I have the old content.
My question is what the f__k is happened and who to fix it.
Many thanks in advance!

Any one??!?!?!
Any one??!?!?!

I can't help with the solution but fwiw I have exactly the same problem. Samsung's only suggestion was to send it in for repair but I'm hesitant to do that because all my data is still on the device. I've tried hard resetting it but everything comes back as soon as I reboot. I can remove or install application but they reset as soon as I reboot the Tab. I cannot make any kind of permanent changes to it.
It's very frustrating to say the least. Anyone have any suggestions for what would cause this? Mine is still a stock device with only a few market applications.

I also have some issues with internal "SDCARD" and that is that i cannot move anything onto it using andy SGT filemanagement system or the very bad KIES software. At the moment my external SD is full but the internal SD has like 14GB free and i cannot balance the storage!?!
If I move programs to SD will it me moved to internal or external SD and can I choose the setting?
The only way I managemd to move stuff into internal SD is to download files like films and music via DLNA over WiFi - those files are saved correctly were I want it...
any advise would be appreciated...

So this means that i can't repair my tablet?
I can't find any solution for this problem. and i believe that we are not the only one with this problem.

I send it to service... they replaced main board...
but canceled my warranty reason: unauthorized software intervention - root access
So... watch out for this. factory reset you tablet or mobile (if possible... in my case was not possible)
Thank you for your support.

I have the same
I have the same exact problem ,, anyone can help plz ??

Hi:
I´ve just discovered this forum. Hello...
Just the same problem here and Samsung doesn´t repair my device. Can you give me any help?
Regards

This is exactly the same problem I've encountered. Moments AFTER rooting the thing.
Which leads me to believe any and all warranty question is well out of the window.
Has anyone encountered a solution as yet?
I appreciate the posts above are a few months old so I'm hoping some sort of resolution has been found!

Same problem here too
Internal mem seems fine and you can delete things, but after reboot nothing is remembered.
Gave it to service (non samsung/carrier), They said that the p1000 is known for having bad internal memory problems.
They partitioned my 8GB external sd card and installed a Chinese MIUI rom 4.0.4 that is supposed to support installation and running from external SD mem.
The problem is they didn't remove the internal memory - so all old apps still exist there and can' t be removed (it probably mounts the internal mem and thinks it can write to it - but in practice nothing is written). So when i go to market and try to DL an app it says no memory left on device because it tries to put it on the internal mem and not the external.
Also, after reboot all the account setup wizard screen settings are forgotten and you need to redefine everything again.
I saw a thread on XDA that explains you need to remove the internal SD mem physically (and explains how to do it) but i am a little afraid to do it...
Anyone else try this ?
Also strange you need to change the whole MB for a faulty memory, why can't the internal mem just be replaced ?

[Q] External Storage not found

Hi,
I tried several custom roms (Slim ICS, CM 9, now ICS333 1.0.2)
However on all of them the phone doesn't recognize the external storage. Is this a general issue?
Beucase I can't use a lot of apps because of this.
I can't access the Gallery because it says "No external storage available". I can't import contacts, can't use the camera app..
Mounting USB storage in the settings doesn't change a thing. It tries to every time but all stays the same.
I know the files are in the emmc folder but does that mean all the apps are unusable? I don't see anyone else complaining.
Is there anything else I can do?

It's actually the phone's internal storage that I meant. My phone doesn't recognize it.
In clockworkmod is does... On my phone with all the roms tested it doesn't.

Troll the threads for each of the ROMs.
Yes it is a lot of reading but you probably will find your answer

I have same problem for 2 months. I tried every rom from the site. I thing have tried 100 roms. Nothing have working for me. I have downgrade to 2.3.6 Also the same problem. Im searching for 2 months. I really need help for this..

Download from market Root Browser and after you install it you will see a Green Button to go back. Press it and enter in "emmc" folder there is your External Storage!(sorry for my english)

[Q] “Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD card” problem

Hello All,
Suddenly have the “Couldn’t install on USB storage or SD card” problem. Quite a bit of information on the net on how to solve it, but it isnt doing it for this tablet.
I can not unmount the sdcard prior to installing/updating apps, theres simply no option for that in the setting->storage.
Second solution is to delete a file called "smdl2tmp1.asec" from one of two paths, but that file is not there.
I attached the tablet to the PC, but just see the "sdcard", not the internal memory.
I have CM10, from this forum.
Hope anyone can help me... Slowly my apps are being killed of by this problem, swiftkey and officesuite pro tried to update today, and can not even be opened anymore since...
Thanks,
Jeroen

Not sure what tab you have, but dies it have an external sd card? Internal is probably the same as sd card. It is on the i957.
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round

I have the samsung 8.9 wifi tab. No external sdcard I can take out, just one that shows up as sdcard under /mnt/.
The tab is not dying on me, justn some apps show mthe error on updating them.Then afterwards those apps are not just updated, they're gone completely. I tried deleteing all dirs that I could find that seems associated with them, but the error still exists, I still get that same error on installing the app.
Thanks for replying, hope this clears up my poor description of the problem

OK, I did a full wipe and flashed CM10 and gapps, but the problem still exist. Installing apps gives me this problem... Anyone an idea?
Maybe the internal sdcard or memory is simply broke? But if so, why would the system install without problems?
Aww, my loved tab 8.9....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
for whoever this is going to be useful, it turned out to be a kernel issue. Some developer confirmed it for me. so I fixed it in the end by installing a stock rom, the problem kept returning with non stock Roms...

Problems with CW11 KIT Kat flash

I flashed CW 11 OK but I could not flash the P Gaps the install fails each time I try, so no Google play store app etc. My phone has only 4GB internal SD. Also I cannot mount an external SD it is not seen after installation and in settings the mount section is greyed out.
Can somebody please point me in the right direct to resolve these issues
Update: I have now successfully installed the GAPPS- KK small version and the phone is working correctly now.
This Firmware has renewed an unreliable phone and I do not at the moment need a replacement many thanks to the Devs.
However the external SD Card will still not mount in the new Firmware. It seems this is a known issue any progress on resolving this yet? .

Re input your SD card and see.

[Q] Lollipop Update Disabled access to Apps on SD

WTF! If it's not enough that the interface in Lollipop is light, the access to all my SD apps is disabled. They are all greyed out and when I click on them, it says the app not installed and gets me straight to google play to reinstall.
AT&T screwed something up I guess. Has anyone found any solution for this problem?

have you tried the sd fix? it used to work on kitkat

I had the same problem with my phone after I upgraded to 4.4 I think its just the way the system is made btw I'm no expert so don't count on me being right

i updated to lollipop and all my external sd apps function fine? i reinstalled the sd fix first though

Yeah I agree try the SD fix

So far all of my apps work. And almost all of mine are on my SD card.....
