Hello members.
I just found a strange issue that I have started facing lately whenever I try to flash a custom ROM on my Defy.
Current stock ROM was 2.2.2
I rooted it and tried This ROM. After flashing it I realized my Proximity sensor stopped working after sometime and my memory card was out of space according to my cell though Astro and ES explorer could access it and I could play music too but my cell still said that Available memory was 0 ( It had 1GB free memory )
Then I changed the ROM to 2.3.7 posted by Quarx hoping it would solve my issue but I had same 2 issues again.
My stock ROM is working perfectly and is not showing any issues. Please tell me what do I do ?
I want to use custom ROMs real bad :3

1) after taking the nandroid backup of ur stock rom .. clear the cache from stock recovery..
2) then u come to custom recovery (via CWM) and wipe data/factory reset and than u install CM7 and flash Gapps .. then wipe cache & dalvik cache ...Reboot
i think u wont be having any problem after doing this..
Cheers
I have the sbf file of the Stock Rom so thats not an issue. I did try the steps you told me to follow but I had the same problems ! Dont know whats causing it.

Why do I buy a new SD ? Its a sandisk class 4 4GB card which is working. The problem is when I use it with ROMs
I have many problems with my two month old defy plus..some problems are really strange and i cant really understand if its a problem with the phone or the sd card...
i am gonna explain all of them.
1. SD card problem..the sd card causes a lot of problem ..the most affected application is swiftkey..after days of working correctly..suddenly a message pops out unable to load language packs..and the keyboard becomes unusable.on unmounting and mounting the sd card..the problem sumtyms goes..sometimes not.
2.applications go missing on their own.
3. transferring files via bluetooth is very very hard...only zip files can be transferred..and sometimes when the transfer fails..the phone has to be rebooted to start transferring again..or sd card has to unmounted and remounted
4.on switching on the phone error messages comes such as " unparseable date"..
5n deleting any folder from the mem card via file explorer..the swiftkey keyboard failes showing messages like unable to load languagepacks or failed to store dyanamic language
6 droid sail frequently fails to move apps to sd card..although my phone is rooted..error messages such as no root no usb debugging is shown..although both of them are on
7:sms back up software not working..it shows write access denied..
8 titanium pro cant be installed.it shows that memory is not available although i have 1 gb of free internal memory
and my last question..will CM9 solve these problems??????
please reply
Please inform your ROM, it may help us identify your problem.
But seems to me that your SD Card is corrupted, try inserting it on a computer and formatting it (backup your stuff first).

You could check sdcard for errors in Windows (right click on sdcard drive letter & select check for errors) . Windows will correct it automatically. This way u won't loose any data on your sdcard. Don't forget to unplug it safely in windows afterwards, otherwise it may become corrupted again.

yes i am having a lot of problems with the stock firmware...i have a question from you..can u transfer apk files directly from your laptop to your mobile via bluetooth or do you have to zip it first???in my mobile only zip files can be send via bluetooth..nothing else is accepted.
Did you find a fix about sd card problem? I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596997 but i don't know if the fix works with GB kernels. I have a 2.3.4 stock rom, and i can't write on my sdcard, i can only read it.
Do you have a high class card?
are you using a 32 gb card if yes downgrade to a lower capacity,
or you can try a class 10 card if u r using a class 4 card
or u can use ur large capacity card latter on if u upgrade ur defy plus, say after ur warranty is complete
i am not suggesting trying a new rom because ur defy is just 2 months old and gingerbread is not outdated al the apps come for it

I notice this problem just a few hours ago, and it's driving me nutts! This are the errors that I am having with this problem:
1. If I try to Unmount it, it will give me this error "Damage USB Storage, Try reformating". I also use other MicroSD Cards that I have but also has the same problem. Tried reformating , unmounting, mounting back again but no changes.
2. If I try to put in some files (videos over 1Gb in file size) and esp. folders, like those associated with Titanium Backup, for some reason at the middle of the file transfer, the phone will automatically reboot.
3. I have this app called USB Mass Storage Enabler (Google PlayStore). If i try to use the Mass Storage Mode, it will tell me "Failed to Unmount"
4. If I unmount my MicroSD Card, it will mess up some of my apps, it will turn them grey then if I try to access those grayed-out apps, I will receive an error message of "Application Not Installed!"
What could be causing this?
I am currently using Wanamlite v1.3 for GT-i9500. I am currently downloading a Stock XXUBMEA. Don't know if this is an issue with Wanamlite. Hope this stock fimrware fixes this.
Hope some out there can help me. Many thanks!

Thanks for the tip! Flashing a stock firmware solved the problem. It seems to be an issue with the ROM itself. Will report this to Wanam later on
Hello,
Yesterday, I flashed 4.4.2 stock rom on my S4 i9500 through Odin. I was also successful in rooting it. then after installing titanium backup I uninstalled all the knox applications. now there were no knox warnings poping up all rooted apps were working good. Then I installed most essential root app in my phone called "foldermount". You know being a s4 owner how easy it makes your life when you can transfer all big games to the sd card and no internal memory full issue.
Now the bad part of story starts.When I opened the Foldermount it showed me an error message that To fix the error click okay and reboot the device. After rebooting all apps of phone like gallery, camera, Shealth, filemanager,music etc. Either stopped working or started showing the message that you dont have any internal memory or external sdcard on your device. In settings>storage, there it also said that 0 mb internal memory 0mb external memory. I also tried connecting my s4 to pc with usb storage option. It showed there too that internal/sdcard has total 0 memory.
So basically foldermount had screwed my phones memory. I think it had messed up the partition table of my phone. After that I reflashed my 4.4.2 and tried installing latest version of fouldermount and the whole thing happened again.
Now I have again reflashed the 4.4.2 rom. I think in 4.4.2 samsung has changed some stuff and foldermount is no longer compatible. Now I have also come to know that You cant downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3. :/
Please someone tell me alternative to Foldermount which is working on 4.4.2.
I would also like to know why foldermount no longer works on 4.4.2? is it only samsung's 4.4.2 rom or it also doesnt work on other 4.4.2 based roms.
Thanks!

4.4.2 has sd card write problem. There is a fix for this problem on the forum n then use Foldermount or may be foldermount isnt compatible with 4.4.2. They ll release a compatibility update for it. I havent rooted yet n 8.41 gb is enough as internal!

There is a easy fix for kk4.4 sd write protection issue by adding a simple line into a system file. Just search for it in the forum.

Thank you guys for replying.
I just checked the changelog of Foldermount and found this
v2.6.4
-Updated Portuguese (new translator: extream87), Polish, Latvian, German and Finnish locales. Thank you volunteers!
-All patching menus are scrollable. This should help some users that are not able to see the bottom buttons correctly in these dialogs.
-Fix a rare case where some S4/Note 3 users that update from 4.3 to 4.4 and patch the system using FolderMount leads to the disappearance of the internal/external sdcards.

I think now foldermount will work fine on S4/Note 3. If it still doesnt work then I will try fixing "write_external_storage" thing.
damn...
After using the forums for a long time without registering, just did to point out I had the same problems. Read a lot before flashing 4.2.2, all went well until installing Foldermount... wish I read this one before installing it. SD Card looks empty on phone, but fine on computer, Play Store, S Health, Story Album kept crashing. Ended up doing a factory reset I didn't need, and flashing it all over again.
Hi everyone,
I have a S5 klte with Samsung SD card formatted as Internal Storage.
Yesterday, I thought I will update my Slim rom 0.6 to the newest version 1.3. After flashing the rom, wiping cache and dalvik cache phone stuck on boot animation. Now, the stupid thing I've done was to push "Fix permissions" in TWRP recovery. After that, I was able to boot my phone, but it lacked most of the apps which were installed previously, none of the google services would work, I could see all the pictures/videos in my gallery, however. When I tried to backup those to my PC, I could see only a small part of it. Tried flashing previous rom, different gaps, wiping cache - nothing.
Then, I thought, I will do a regular wipe, since I didn't cared much about lost apps. From the experience I knew, that wiping does not touch media stored in internal storage. So I wiped my phone and restarted (with old slim 0.6 flashed before).
Now the phone works great, but there is HUGE problem. All internal storage is gone including pictures and videos and Samsung card, which was formatted as internal storage, now says "Unsupported card" and asks me to format it either to external or internal.
What could I do? Is there any way to "re-link" the internal card so that I could see its contents? Or I should use some file recovery software and see what I can get?
Thank you in advance for the help!
Did you try popping out your SD card out of your phone and using an SD card reader to get data off it onto a pc

Well, I am using Mac for the moment, so when I try to connect sd card to it the notification pops up, that drive is not accessible, or something similar.
Tomorrow I will be able to try it on PC, but I believe nothing will change. The biggest problem is that sd card is formatted as internal storage and linked with phone's internal storage. I do not know these inner mechanics, but I believe that I need to somehow recreate that link.
Hmm your probably right good luck trying to fix it

Sadly, there is not much of info due to complexity of this issue. Still waiting for at least some hints what should I do...
UPDATE: PC does not respond to the sd card at all, there is no sound, no drive, nothing.
