sd card in read only mode. 4.5.605 rooted - Droid X General

every so often I run into a problem where I can read my /sdcard but not write to it. this of course interferes with the camera and many apps. after rebooting once or twice it goes back to normal but then error arises again. any Idea as to why? or a quick band aid to enable it in write mode? thanks

I noticed busybox was uninstalled. Could be the culpprit

I'm having the exact same problem...2.3.3 Rooted
have you found the cause/solution for this?? If uninstalled busybox really is the culprit we need to know what caused it, right?

I've been having the same issue. Interferes with Google Music and a handful of games for me. so far the quickest solution (quicker than a reboot) has been to unmount the SD card, kill-all, then remount the SD card. Seems to work perfectly so far. Not sure which app is doing it, though

I've had the same problem. I used the same unmount-remount solution. I thought it was probably because I bought a cheap card off Ebay.

I had the same problem and fixed it by using a genuine SanDisk class 4 memory card. See http://forums.motorola.com/posts/99bf75a86c

[Q] No free space after flashing with odin

I totally bricked my phone yesterday by modifying some files I shouldnt of. It was my fault, for sure.
I followed the guide for restoring my phone using Odin, im just having one problem. It appears that /system isnt mounting? The phones telling me I have 0 space in internal storage.
Is there something i need to do to get /system to mount? I know its not actually low on space, and I confirmed this with adb -df command. over 86% free still.
Thanks for ANY suggestions!
Use the program adrynalyne created to fix the problem. You will need to search for it here unless someone posts a link.
no luck with the search. any other suggestions?

Have you tried doing a factory data reset via clearing it in your privacy menu under settings? FYI - I had one of those 0.0 gB space in internal memory due to my inept attempt at disabling voodoo, but had to eventuallyL (1) adb push the original.mbr and (2) do a factory data reset in the privacy menu.

not to steal the topic but with my recent problem, my fascinate decided to basically reboot itself to stock all on its own but was still rooted minus ALL the apps on the phone without the sd card being recognized. Was the sd card holding all these apps and the real question is I went to install quadrant to see if the kernel was still installed internally and it said I didnt have enough disk space internally. Does this mean the kernel is still installed and was causing this? Also since I unrooted to take the phone to verizon to get a new sd card since it faulted...will i have to remove files before I redo the root and everything else, CWM, rom manager, root explorer, etc....

You need original.mbr or the program created by adrynalyne to fix your problem. That is the only thing that will help.

FIXED!
Thanks everyone! looks like it was cause by having voodoo installed previously. I followed adrenalyn's steps to completely removing it, including a factory reset and pushing the original.mbr (thanks nemesis and durkabane!)

SD card issue

So all of the sudden I get a notification that my memory card had a problem and that it's "read only".
It was totally fine then this. Is my card corrupted or is it a hardware thing?
I can get it to recognize it....then it goes right back to read only.
I've used the same card from my G2...to Nexus One...to Vibrant to my now MT4G.

try formatting it with a card reader...
Probably messed up. Mine did it too and only thing I could do was format.

I will tell you the truth. You will lose everything. After this you will learn to backup your sd card on your computer.
I wiped out mine too. Somehow, my card became corrupted and would not mount. I lost everything. Still pisses me off.
Good news is there is a stock 'ROM' here and you can just start over. I know it sucks, but think of it as a learning experience. What else can you do?

One question I had is: Is there a way after it wont mount to get it to mount? Like... can you go into terminal and mount it at all?
Hope this eases you mind man.

You can put in into another android phone and it will work just fine (most likely). Has happened to me multiple times in G2 (part of a reason it went back to t-mo).
Alternatively, you can try USB mount option in ClockworkMod recovery and see if phone will recognize your card in recovery, you can then copy everything over to PC and re-format the card.
Wait! Before you reformat, plug it into a Windows machine and run checkdisk on it. I just had this problem yesterday and this fixed it for me. I didnt lose my data or anything because it wasnt reformatted. Just check both the boxes on the dialog box when you run checkdisk and hopefully itll work for you too.

How to run Chkdsk from My Computer or from Windows Explorer
Double-click My Computer, and then right-click the hard disk that you want to check.
Click Properties, and then click Tools.
Under Error-checking, click Check Now. A dialog box that shows the Check disk options is displayed,
Select the Automatically fix file system errors check box.
Select the Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors check box, and then click Start.
I too have been experiencing this problem, and have tried almost everything to fix this crap! but no luck, I'm not sure what's causing this, but I've tried several SD cards already and even replaced my phone thinking it was the device card reader, but I still have the same problem... Hope someone can shed some light on this matter...
But to the OP before you go formatting it, you can try to save the files on your SD first by going to recovery > connect device > mounts and storage > mount USB storage. You should see your files from the SD card so you can back those up at least.
Good luck!
Had that happen to me when I popped in a new card. Put the old one back in, same thing happened.
Turned out that the restore didn't work correctly. Was able to restore the stock backup I made after rooting and haven't had issues since. I played around trying to get different kernels working, and had to restore a few times. The one time just didn't take fully.

I got it fixed without loosing anything! Plugged it into a machine that I just updated to win 7..and it said there was a problem with my card and if I wanted windows to see if it could fix it. Yes. It worked!
Check disk is it!
Backed up all my card and plugged it back into the phone...and it works great again.
Thanks for the feedback and help guys

Hi Im currently running wildpuzzle 0.7 and have an issue where the sd card becomes read only. un mount mount do not help, app can not have write access like camera for instance. Under windows file permissions appear ok.
Any clues?
Regards.
Problem resolved by connecting USB, using windows to check drive errors on card.
Thanks.
I would still love to know what may have caused it..........

dont think so pal, happened to me with stock card from phone :/
True, happened to me as well, and, only formatting the SD solved it. This happened to me using the stock card.
This happened when I was playing around with A2SD, and had created an EXT partition using ROM Manager. It worked well for a fe whours, then these errors started creeping up and I had to format it. Could be something wrong there....

Maybe, if you install those apps in to the sd card and the sdcard somehow have some bad blocks or unable to read by system.Try to uninstall one app and reinstall it again if problem will solved back up your sdcard and format it and copy back your backup maybe later install other apps what you want.

I had this problem too in the past and never really got to what was causing it...If I remember correctly the situation improved considerably after I wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions but not very sure if that's related
They're not reading properly off the SD card. Back up your SD and run a check on it.

icons not being read from your sd card are the least of your worries. You've got adware installed, too!! I'd take care of that first if I were you

I have this problem on my s5 but not on my note3 they both run kitkat which is the issue. Google has locked down the software so that you cant use 3rd party apps to transfer files straight to SD card.
Not sure of a fix yet unless you ROOT the device

strange.. I have no problem before OR after rooting,(I have an s5 Active on AT&T)... Is it too much trouble to try restoring and starting from scratch? Quite obviously youre having a problem others aren't,(storing music on an sd card). That would lead one to belive its either a software or hardware problem specific to YOU only. Something has happened since your last clean set-up..
I don't know.. im quite slow witted but that's an idea..
of course, however, im adding them to the sd card FROM MY EXTERNAL HD. NOT from the s5 internal memory to the sd card... ...if that's the case, try moving from the phone's memory to a folder on your desktop and then back into the phone via sd card
Doing it that way yes I can achieve the desired result.
I have a media server that I used to be able to acces as follows
Es file explorer > media server
Copy file from server to sd card
Now I cant do it that way.
So I add the additional step and it works.
The other issue is quikpix or any 3rd party viewer I used to be able to delete pictures straight out of quikpix now it says I can only delete from the pre installed view (sviewer)
I hope that makes sense

Probably a permissions error. Kitkat restricted third party app access to the SD card to make the OS more secure. Which broke a lot of apps. But I'm just guessing because you didn't provide any details that would enable us to troubleshoot it properly. Lots of errors.. uh huh. But what were those errors? What firmware version? How is the SD card formatted? What app are you using when the errors occur?
It's like saying your car is having problems.. but not giving any idea of what that really means. Did you have trouble starting your car? Won't go faster than 70 km/h.. stall.. weak brakes.. oil pressure light on? And for that matter, what model of car are we talking about? Knowing what specific SD card errors you had is rather essential information and it's odd that you wouldn't give us those details.
I don't think you did a forum search or you would have literally tripped over all the SD card problem threads and mentioned that. Most of the recent threads talk about the problems Kitkat introduced and it isn't hard to find posts in many of them describing how to fix the issue.
