[Q] I9505 4.4 SD 1 Card Access issues with Custom recoveries - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Xda members,
I'am running TWRP 2.8.3.0 everything seems to work fine except with my Micro sd.
I got acces problem to my external SD card, it look permission problems,
When i try to reformat the sd card i get this error:
E: Unable to Unmount '/external_sd'
E: Error changing file system
When i try to make a backup this one:
E: Unable to create folder: /external_sd/TWRP (errno=30)
E: Failed to make Backup folder.
In install i'am able to access to external_sd and view the files inside.
Here is my config:
S4 GT-I9505
Android 4.4.2
ROM: stock rom I9505ZHUFNL1
Rooted with CF autoroot
Recovery: TWRP 2.8.3.0
I tried the fix permission button in TWRP but it didnt worked.
I also tried to install Extsdcardfix-flashable.zip from this thread: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607215
Did some factory reset, reinstalling everything and this didnt worked.
Reformating the External sd via stock rom work.
I've been looking around the web trying to find some solutions but nothing do so far and i run out of ideas.
So if anyone have some ways to fix it i'll really enjoy it.
Thanks for your time,
Ankhaz

Thanks for your answer,
I tried with Philz touch recovery 6.23.9 - I9505 (cm_jflte)
When trying to backup to SD1 i get:
"Error while backing up boot image! "
When trying to format SD1 i get:
Could not format /storage/sdcard1
When i try to install Zip from SD1 i'am able to acces the card and view what's inside.
So exactly the same result than before with TWRP
So the problem still, i think its a permission problem but might be wrong.

Update:
I did buy a new micro sd too try.
Problem still exactly the same, so its not SD card hardware related problem.
If someone got the same problem or any clue. I'll really apreciate it!
Thanks!

i have searched @ google but i found notting..
please help ; /
cheers,
Have u tryed using unrevoked again n updateing with Rom manager
Do u have another SD card
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
i cant use unrevoked and rom menager because my wf doesnt load os.. i was tryin to put update.zip and load it from sd card but it says "cant open E:/sdcard/update.zip (bad) installation aborted.", ive load even file as pc49img.zip, in bootloader it says it's parsing and it looks like everything is ok but still have no updatec cmw ;/.
and no i do not have another sd card ;/
Surely borrowing an SD card from some of your close ones shouldnt be an issue? Anyway, did you try using an RUU to get back to the default state?
i;ve tried to use ruu, it only sees my phone while the htc logo but it says it's not enough charged.. i think ill try to wait until green led comes up and try it again ;/

Sounds like you might have partitioned your card, and now are looking at two different partitions, one from windows, one from recovery. You could try repartitioning it from recovery, to make sure that you only have one FAT partition and one EXT and that they are in the correct order.
Mine has its FAT partition on p1, and ext2 on p2.
hey mate,
could you guide me how to do it? in recovery i have;
unmount system
unmount data
unmount cache
mount sd-card
when i click on mound sd-ext it says "ERROR MOUNTING SDEXT:!"
;/
i took off the sd card and formatted it then i mount it into the device and tried to choose zip file but it was unmounted in options so it didnt show me any files, next i've mounted sd card and left sd-ext unmounted and againt its the same, it shows me the old files which dont even exist anymore, i guess it maybe something with partitionin, but how to do it? could you guide me how to make one fat and one ext ? like u have? thx in advance
I partitioned mine from a linux PC with an SD card reader attached, but it should work from recovery as well.
From the Clockworkmod recovery menu, choose advanced and then partition sd card then choose the size you want for the ext partiton, then the size for the flash partition (if any). That should set them up correctly in the correct order.
Questions/Problems don't belong in the Development section <---please click link and read....moved to general...
i've wipped cache and during wippin it said that there is no sd-ext partiotion ; / it's something wrong with clockwork but i have no idea what.. it shows only the old files that i've loaded on sd before flashing with cm7 rc-2 ;/ the weird thing is that i remember that i updated cmw do newest 3.0.5... (something like that - the orange one) and it worked fine but next when i log into recovery it shows the older version oO
i successfuly manange to update cmw, i used adb in that purpouse and now everything works fine

If i try to boot it stucks forever in Cyanogenmod Bootscreen

So you're not able to get your internal storage mounted in CWM?

[Q] Restoring a CWM v5 backup on HD2

Hi,
I without much thinking and reading, searched the keyword "backup" on the play store, installed the first application I found (nandroid) and made a backup of my OS and wiped everything afterwards because I had to get my display replaced after the digitizer started not responding.
But after I got my phone back I realized that I can only flash CWM 3x on HD2 while the backup that nandroid created was for cwm5.
So, I have a backup made for cwm5. Any suggestions on how can I restore this on a hd2?
thanks in advance
Did you try to simply restore the backup?

If you can flash v3 you can flash v5 the same way.

Well, that's what I thought, but I can't. It won't let me. CWM3 keeps giving the file not found error, and I thought the fact that it's cwm3 is must be the reason why. I'm confused now.

I get into the ad recovery section in magldr, cwm opens, I then choose the backup restore section, it checks my sd card and finds the backup I made, no problem up to this point, I choose the backup I want to restore, the process starts, and then I get the file not found errors, but everything's there in the sd card, I checked.
The errors are like this:
system.img not found. Skipping restore of /system.
data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data.
etc. etc.

eventually it skips everything and restores nothing.

OK, no problem. You misunderstood what I said.
Go to AD Recovery and CWM v3 will open, correct?
Do NOT select /BACKUPRESTORE!
Select INSTALL FROM SD CARD
Of course, you need to have a copy of CWM Recovery v5 on your SD Card - if you do not have it or you have an older v5 download this file and place it on your sd card before you start.
After you install that file reboot and you will have CWM Recovery v5.
Does it make more sense now?

Well now have less possible issues. This is good.
The error shows you had a problem extracting the image from the zip. That suggests a bad zip or a bad sd card. Have you tried to download another copy of the zip file?
How big is your recovery partition? To flash that recovery you should have 5 MB, 8 if you might want to try other recovery apps later.
How was your device partitioned? Did you use DAF.EXE? If yes, take a look at the flash.cfg file, the line for recovery. If it has "filesize" (or something like it) instead of a number that partition was created to match last image flashed. The word filesize should read 8 MB or at least 5 mb.
If using the hd2 toolkit there should also be a flash.cfg file someplace.
Check that zip file first, however. I can give you a known good recovery and DAF.EXE but you will have to set the correct partition sizes for what you need.

what recovery are your using? most likely it is a simple fix, in one of the settings there should be an option to "mount system" or "mount sdcard"

[Q] Sd Card Partion

Hey Guys,
I am new this forum. I had Done my rooting and i installed a custom rom. I thought of increasing my Internal Memory by moving apps to sd. I rooted to CWM and partition my sd to 1 GB. And install Link to SD. Everything works fine. Guys i need a help is there any way to repartition to 512mb instead of 1 GB. So i could use more memory On my Sd.
Also
Do i need to uncheck everythning that i made during using link2sd in the process
Soloution
I know i may sound stupid for posting the solution since i am the one who asked for solution. I searched the whole internet to find the solution. Its easy to do that you don't need to partition etc etc. All you got to do is go to Settings -> Sd Card and Storage -> Unmount it -> And just format Boom You get your space back. I am writing this solution to people who have problem in removing the partition space
you can use cwm ro repartion your sd card or use computer to do it
cant mount sd
