happened to me before, i just said F**K it and started fresh.

Check how much space you have on your SD card. I had the same problem because it didnt have enough space to run a full nand. Just put your other nand backups on your PC and retry.

In case the SD card isn't the issue, you can back up the recovery log to the SD card. I think it's under "other"... maybe?

Next time you run into an issue like this, under advanced options you can move the recovery.log to the sd card. then open the recovery log in a text editor such as notepad and read towards the end. It will tell you why it failed.

[Q]Market error (fixed) & Moving apps to SD card

Is there any other way rather than the adb one (dosent work) for transfering apps to sd card... Not a single app is installed on sd card, every damn thing is in internal memory, my sd card is of 16 gb it is totaly EMPTY... Important thing is my device is NON-ROOTED , lol

May sound stupid but try rebooting your tab after clearing Google play data.

If I do that, after this every app/game I'll download from the market,will be installed on the ext sd? Or I've got it wrong?

System restrictions delete failed

When I wanted to delete something from my nook color running cm10 night lies I could not delete it and a notification pop out saying system restriction delete failed but when my nook color is running cm7.2 i had no problem deleting files can anybody explain to me for this observation? Thank you for reading and hope you have a nice day!

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.
Sent from my Nook HD+ Running CM10 on SD

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.

[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.

Not exactly sure what you mean. Is directory bind an app? Would this be necessary if I have already deleted safestrap for the time being?

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.

[Q] Cannot Install Any Custom Rom's

I can no longer install any of the custom roms on my AT&T S4. This is both on OUDHS 1.034 & 1.035 and TWRP 2.5.0.2 The files all fail. OUDHS says the files are bad. This only began today. Anyone have any ideas of what I might try. I have a 64 GB external SD card in the phone.

If it were me, I would start over period, quit wasting time, odin back to stock and root, and so on. You could be done in 30min or so, or wait and try things that are probably not going to work.

I forgot to mention I have Odin'd back 3 times restarted root & etc. I thought my SD card might've corrupted but all my pic files & videos are all fine.

Did you reset to factory after you odin?

It is in the SD card somehow. I copied one of the roms & a Gapps file to the internal and it installed fine. What can be up with my SD card?

Hmm, bad download? Which roms are you trying to flash?

It was all of them today. CM 10.1 Nightly, Task650's, Bean Stalk, Slim & Pac Man & Paranoid. I put Task650's 6-18 & Gapps 6-12 on my Internal drive and then it installed perfectly.

Backup the card and do a full format with sdformatter. No quick format. Then reload card.

Thanks. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow. What format type should I use?

Sorry missed your reply. It is in the sdformatter instructions. Haven't used it for awhile. But, believe you want Full Erase On and Size Adjustment ON. It will do fat32. No quick format. May take awhile--
Back Up phone and sdcard first and put a copy of each on pc also--
