[Q] Big problem with android

I have Miui newst version installed.. but then it got jammed.. i removed battery from phone and restarted.. anrdoid didnt start.. well i was going to make a fresh install with it.. but no.. i had no install package on internal sd anymore... and i cant get it there anyway.. any suggestion.. have cwm version 5.0.2.3 i cant mount ext. sd card in mounts and storages..says only error mounting /sd-ext! and i cant use mount usb storage coz it says E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)! is there anyway to get install zip to internal sd or install os from external sd?.. or do i throw this phone to a lake..?

Did you try to remove the SD Card from the phone and plug it in your PC directly (with some card reader)?

there is internal and external sd in this phone.... and cwm allows installing only from internal sd.. and i think u cant remove it from phone.. :/.. its internal..

The phone has a partition with 2GB which is used for internal sdcard storage and also have a slot to mount an external sdcard. And cwm recovery use external sd card.
Do you have an external sdcard mounted?

[Q] gellmar's StockMergE400 or SDMergE400 problem

Hi there,
I've flashed SDMergE400 and it has been working good on my L3 E400 CM9.
But if my externel SD card becomes malfuntional, i.e. the phone can't read the externel SD card, as the system data is saved there, will the phone not be able to boot up?
One more question: when I wipe data and dalvic cache, will it wipe out all my data and saved files in the external SD card?
Thx for any reply.

Re
Your external sd card is taken as the internal memory while the internal(actual internal) is merged with ur system rom , if ur sd card is malfunctioned ur phone will boot but the apps which are moved to ur sd card will not work properly, and if u clean ur data the sd card is untouched while ur system is cleaned ( which after installing sdmerge is system rom + internal sd )
Let me be clear now ur internal memory is ur actual external sd card and ur system memory is actual (system memory + internal memory) Hope i helped you if anything more u can ask and i will help you out

thx for the reply.
I'm just confused coz before I applied sdmerge, the internal memory was read as disc F while the external one as G when I connect the phone to PC. But after sdmerge, I hv only disc F which shows my external SD card contents while disc G has nth. The icon disc G is still there but the color is paler n it shows to insert disc G when I click on it.
Also I can see folders like 'Android' in the external SD card root. Isn't it a system folder? if yes, then why it appears there in the external card?
thx for reading n reply n I know that's a lot.

SDMergE doesn't do anything to your EXTERNAL card. It simply merges system memory and the INTERNAL memory into one.
There's nothing important in the Android folder on your external SDcard, probably just some app data you moved to the SDcard, nothing else. Check what's inside. If it's empty, just delete the folder.

Go to settings> storage and use the left soft key and then select usb mass storage rather than media device then u'll not get that greyed g drive....... and the android folder in ur external sd card has data of apps you moved

I hv flashed the 14July cm9 nightly and applied step 4 successfully.
However, I notice that whatever version I hv flashed, the cyanogenmod version in Setting-->About phone always show its 9-20130313-unofficial-e400. Is it becoz of sdmerge??

Adoptable Storage - Anyone got it to work?

I tried the Adoptable storage mod using ADB and everything went through fine with no errors during ADB.
The file size of internal storage is still 32GB reported through the phone's storage setting. It also shows my 64 GB SD card through the phone's storage as well.
SD card disappeared from the File Manager on the phone and does not show up on my PC when connecting the phone.
I filled up the 32 GB internal storage with apps and movies and I am unable to put anymore on. Pretty much indicating that the adoptable storage feature is not working.
I am in the process of factory resetting with the partitioned SD card to see if that fixes anything.

I used the mod to split my 200gb card in half. It worked for me as you can see by the ss.

I finally got mine to correct the total device storage size. Now to see if apps install properly if I fill up the internal storage.
Time to download a ton of crap from Oculus and I'll see what happens.

When you guys say you finally got it to work, what exactly did you do different because I tried exactly as the how-to says and couldn't get it.

After you follow the steps to partition the SD Card, Go to Settings > Storage > SD Card > More (upper right corner). Then migrate files to the SD Card.
Once the migrate completes then I believe that the SD Card is properly made into adoptable storage.
New apps and data should now fill you your SD Card first, before using internal storage.

I have a new problem ...
I did everything on the tutorial and no errors but still wont WORK
My internal phone storage is full and i migrated the internal sd-card (go to Storage-->internalSD-card--->dots uppercorner and migrate) like u said but still the apps won't install on the internal sd-card...
it just asking me to delete some apps to able to install the new one...
Help me with my Sony Aqua m4 8gigs... PLZ

I'm curious about something. Been trying to get this to work but after doing "sm partition disk:179,0 private" (without the quotes) it is my understanding that it may take a while but in no less than 2 seconds it goes back to hero2qltespr:/ $
I also do not see the Migrate data option in (Storage-->internalSD-Card---> upper corner dots). On my Sprint S7 Edge it's Settings --> Device Maintenance --> Storage --> and the 3 dots only has Storage Settings. Once in there there isn't an option to migrate data.
Any idea what I can be doing wrong or does Nougat remove that Migrate option on the Sprint version.

Convert my Internal SD CARD, which is shown as external Memory to Internal Memory.

I am using Xolo Q700s Cynogenmod Lollipop
I installed Cynogenmod 12.1 V3 stable. In that they had made inbuilt feature that External SD CARD is loaded as internal memory i.e SDCARD0. I want to chnage that because as I don't have any SD Card I cannot operate my phone. eg xender says sd card disabled and don't open. bluetooth says : transfer unsuccessful as sd card not found to save files. Cannot save books or data from app as download fails as my phone has no external sd card.
I tried changing fstab file but when i reboot the phone it gets back to default settings. I searched a lot but cannot find way to transfer internal sd card from external to internal memory. I can't understand how to change this setting in cynogenmod
Pls Help.
if possible reply at [email protected].
Edit 1 : When I checked fstab file in /system folder, the command was written as in last 2nd line: sdcard1:8 non-removable. What this is.
Pls help me, I cannot use my phone, cannot install and run apps and my phone is of no use to me.

Strange error with the micro sd card

Hello
I have a p9 lite with dual sim activated and vodafone official rom.
I have a micro sd insert and work fine. I take photos and are saved in the sd. i can create folders, format sd, etc.
But, when i reboot the phone, al content is delete automatically, and phone create some folder as dload (with firmware), system volume, etc.
I try factory reset the phone, wipe data, cache and configuration, reinstall official rom.
How can I correct this behavior?Is there any option that causes this?
Thanks for the help.

into the setting, there is a menu called " memory and storage " where you can select micro sd or main storage . What is your setting ?

In this menu i see both storages, internal memory and samsung sd card. I can format and expel it. I try both options

1. I download a app to format sd. Format and go to settings-memory and storage and show that the sd is 0 bytes.
2. expel the sd with menu.
3. mount the sd and automatically, show all previus files (10% occupied).

That means your sd card is going bad. I suggest you replace it ASAP before it dies completely

Thanks. I test the card un PC and when format say write protected. Surely the card is failed.
