If the file is on SD... you may have ran into the occasional SD becoming read only under CM10 that periodically rears its ugly head.

So does it mean that there is no solution? Thanks anyway.

It means you may have to use a different SD. CM10 is real finicky about SD cards.

I have used sdcard no. 1 to install cm 10 but I use sdcard no. 2 to download additional files and apps and use it as the device's main sdcard meaning I use it. I tried a different sd card also but still can't delete files and using cm10, I realized that there are some hidden files with unknown symbols I don't know what are those I saw them when I use androzip but on other file manager I don't see them and I can't delete them BTW should I use cm7.2 or cm 10.

Those unknown symbol files mean that CM10 is sometimes corrupting some files when it writes. That is why it is mounting the SD as read only. It sees that corruption. Try creating a file with your CM10 file manager. If you cannot, it means it is mounted read only.
Try getting the free SDFormatter program and running that on your PC to reformat the no. 2 SD to fix any corruption.

You have a bad SD card. Stick with Sandisk as they are more reliable.

SD Card constantly remounts as being "read-only"

It's has really been the pain in the arse. Really.
I use Lord's Ice Cold Sandwich. This happens occasionally, when I tried to download SD data for a game, the SD card remounts as being read-only.
I tried full-wipe flash, format SD card with Disk Utility of Ubuntu, then reflash it with Android's utility. I tried unmounting sdcard in CWM. I tried fix permission option in CWM. Nothing helps so far.
Thanks in advance!!! :angel:
There's an app on the Play Shop which claims to fix this, give it a try

I actually tried that. The other day I backed up stuff than formatted the thing with Disk Utility tool of Ubuntu. I then went extreme, formatted it again on Android.
I guess the app above might help. The thing is I'm still under 18 for a credit card, hence gotta wait another year to be eligible.... mannnnn
Apparently, the SD card is still in R/W mode, it isn't til I start download data for games, download music, use dolphin... that it becomes read only. The process usually goes for half the bar, than stop.

Are you able to flash your SD card? If you are having the same files after the formatting which you had then I don't think anything will work rather than replacing your SD card

[Q] Apps2SD?

Is there anyway to move apps to SD? I know they took out the feature in ICS, but maybe via an app or something? 8GB is pretty small when you take away a gig for a rom slot...

better yet, has anyone figured out if you can flip flop the internal and external sd locations so the phone thinks your external sd card is the primary? I know this was possible on the X2 and the RAZR's.
I have the memory switch .zip file, but no way to install it on my rooted Droid RAZR M
I was curious how difficult would out be to just rename the internal storage from sd card to internal storage? If that is possible then we could just rename external to sd card then we should be able to move apps to the card easily.

Tried an app from the market and it seems working: GL to SD. need root access

nah. tried renaming them last week or so and it not only didnt work, the damn things renamed themselves upon reboot. im pretty pissedf about the memory on this phone cuz the phone itself is pretty snappy.
Dang I guess Motorola has this phone on lock down. I used my EVO 4g to copy songs over to my SD card and once I inserted it back in and tried to mount it, it kept saying blank, so I rebooted my phone and it showed up. If I wasn't as smart as I am I would have probably formatted the damn thing lmao I was wondering if they did that as a minor precaution to people trying to hack the phone with something on the SD card, but then again I'm sure if they did a reboot wouldn't have made it show up then.

So were you able to move anything other than game data to your ext sd? It let me move dropbox, but nothing else showed up on its list of transferable files.

[Q] hudge problem with sd card

Hello. I have a hudge problem with my phone. Somehow it automatically unmounts and remounts my sd card for no reason no matter what rom I use. Sometimes it unmounts my sd card and don't mount for a month. Sometimes it gives damaged sd card error and asks to format it but when I insert my card to tablet and it detects no errors. What could be the problem? Can anyone help me fix this?
Repartition your SD card in recovery

You must clearing ext partition in recovery and format sdcard. + set min cpu fraquancy on 245Mhz.

If it does happen with all roms you've tested, including stock 2.1 then your SD card is propably faulty. You formatted it under Windows?

I can't try stock rom because it says that my recovery is to new. SD card can't be faulty because it is new. I had other sd card earlier but my phone didn't recognized it so I bought new. And i have formatted under Windows.

Check the SD card under different phone, most simple as it can get.

Which ROM are you using?
Now using cm9
Sent from my Acme TB02 using xda app-developers app
Then you have to check different roms and kernels to see under which your SD card works properly. I suggest trying newest AOSP / SDSL or CM 7.2 by Tejas build three.
Maybe is the slot of your SD Card, Why?:
Using every ROM, same device and same problem = device
Used other device and everything ok = the "other" device
So, definitely your slot on your device is bad. Good Luck!

Just delete all partitions and make new (FAT32) with some Live CD if U don't have Linux on PC (for best get gParted Live).
Next put it in Your phone and partition again with CWM 6.0, or just use fat32.
Some customized roms mess up sd card if it has /swap.
Noticed this in some 2.3 custom rom, but don't remember name of it.

[Q] Confused about internal storage

Ok so hopefully somebody can set me straight here. My M comes with 8gb of internal storage. But I have run into app space issues and have read that only 4gb is accessible. If I'm correct that's disappointing. However it feels like less than 4gb is accessible to me. I deleted a couple more apps today, but here is my current storage usage (screenshot). I'm rooted on JB and have Titanium Backup so maybe that will allow me to transfer apps from internal storage to sd card. I have not yet tried it on the M and from the couple of posts I've read it may or may not be possible. I do not have a developer edition M. Which is what I read that you need. Is this the case? All my pics, vids, and music are already on the 32gb sd card. It's just apps taking up space on internal. What are my options for continually running out of storage so quickly?
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app
Example: The screenshot says I have 550mb available... Which isn't much at all... But I'm trying to install a 43.5mb app right now and I'm getting an internal storage warning. So my problem is two parts. 1, can't use the full 8gb and 2, can't even use what little space it says I have.

Do you have safe strap installed with an active slot? If so, use your root browser and delete the ss folder and in sdcard0, the safestrap folder which contains the ROM slot information. That should put you back around where you should be. Don't touch the TWRP folders and you will be fine to continue using safe strap.

I did install safestrap last week intending on loading a custom ROM, but ended up not feeling like I was experienced enough to do so at this time so I deleted the app. Would deleting the app have been enough to solve that issue?

You can also use directory bind to bind the data to the sdcard1 path. Works like a charm.

if it has 8gig why does it only let you use half of it..and what's the purpose of the other 4gig left... because as far as I know when you install apps it takes up the space of the 4gig that you you.
Directory bind can get you in some trouble if you are not careful. Delete one side on accident, you delete the other's content as well. Directory bind just links two locations and basically acts like a forwarding service.
Back to Safestrap. Yes, Safestrap partitions your usable memory for the other operating system file. Its just like dual booting a computer, you don't have shared memory between the two. (As far as internal memory is concerned.)
Did you delete the folders? It should fix your issue. Check your storage stats in stock settings afterwards to confirm.

Deleting the app alone will not get rid of the partition, in my experience. Reboot your phone to see if its gone too. The folders are /ss and /storage/sdcard0/Safestrap. You could also delete the TWRP folders if they are present, since you do not need Safestrap any longer.
Let me know if this solves your issue.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I don't seem to have either of those folders when I tried to search for them with root explorer. So maybe I didn't do anything when I opened up safestrap when I had it.
And to clarify, sdcard0 is internal storage and sdcard1 is the actual sd card correct?

Yes sir. That is correct. Did you make a slot when you opened safe strap? Normally that eats up memory like crazy.

I probably downloaded it then left it alone while I researched a bit and never ended up doing anything. I'll move some stuff over from sdcard0 if I have any pics or music still on there to free up a little space or maybe try one of those complex work arounds to free up some of that extra 4gb eventually.

Micro SD card and deleting issue

Hi,
I am running a stock mf3 I337 on AT&T. ES and my files aren't allowing me to delete files on the inserted SD card. I touch to delete a file and it says deleting failed. I've reinserted it twice and it lets me delete an item or so and goes back to deleting failed. I've never had this issue before, and I'm lost what to do. Any insight or solution would help.
Nor can I move anything
Edit:
Any download being placed in my SD card says not enough space when I know I have enough space
