[Q] SD card blocked after update CWM

Today, many hours ago, i wanted to install the
[ROM][22/1/12][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.35 Kernel]
I came from the
[ROM][15/01/2012][U8800][MIUI][v2.1.20][MULTILINGUAL][2.6.32 Kernel]
So first changed my CWM into version ClockworkMod [v5.5.0.4]
I first pasted the new rom on my U8800 (previous versions i also had the network problems so needed latest version) SD card, then did the new CWM install and after this i lost all sound and mic...
I tryed to install the new ROM but still the network problem...
So i did my back-up but again no sound/mic/vibrate working...
After this i wanted to put an older rom or maybe CWM back on my SD card but now the SD can't be written on...
What can i do now...
Someone plz help me... Now my phone doesn't have network or any sound, vibrate also isn't working...
Best regards VdBRoald
Try to update from internal sd?
Also, the newer MIUI requires you to install official 2.3.5 before you install it. The newer has different kernel .35 that is required for all functions to work. (Batterystat , network, wlan, etc.)

thx for reply,
The inside memory is to small for installing a ROM and atm i only have the Build-in SD card, the one that is now write protected for a reason...
Because i came from another rom i think it isn't needed for first upgrading my standard version into 2.3.5...?
Best regards
Trust me, it is needed. .35 roms don't work unless you have first installed official 2.3.5.
Buy sdcard and try to install from there.
Try to mound/unmoung sd in cwm and try to install then.

Try first to mount sd card on pc and check it for errors with windows check disk app. I don' t think that the card is damaged. Then you need to put dload folder from 2.3.5 official rom package(instructions are on package' s pdf file) and flash it from bootloader by pressing vol+,vol-,power when device is off.
The SD card isn't damaged , just is write protected now...
Tryed to mount/unmount in CWM but gives an error (because of problem mensioned i think...)
I can buy a new one but i hope it doesn't reaches that point... :x
Put the card in a card reader and mount it on pc. I don' t think that you have problems then.
It is a build-in SD card so i can't reach it... :'(
edit:Just wanted to dl the official 2.3.5 release from Huawei.
But all sites seems to have deleted the file...
Do you have 5.5.0.4 recovery? I had same problem with that.
Try to change your recovery to Genokolars 5.0.2.7 or the official 5.0.2.6 one.
Firstly, you should've updated your base ROM to B522, then flash MIUI. The problem for your case is that the new kernel does not work with the old base.
Here's what you should do:
Flash B522.
Flash CWM.
Flash MIUI.
How can i do this without an sd card that can be written ons?
I Will do this after i found the solution for the SD card problem, then i can copy new files on it...
PS: factory reset also doesn't work because off problems
You change the recovery in PINK SCREEN not in internal sd card.
Change the recovery, then youll be able to access sd, at least I did.

Use another phone or, even a camera. Insert the micro SD to that, connect to USB, make folder dload on the card, copy the update.app into there and do the steps I wrote before.
All already thx for the comments, i just got a new sd card, for the low cost of 8euro i don't bother for more trouble handling with that. So now i'am trying to do everything with my new card.
It was a hard start because it wasn't working well in beginning, i put the files off the first step true pc (in SD holder) and is now installing the new firmware... let's hope that all the rest will go a bit easyer
Thx a lot to all the replyers and specially to Blefish!
Everything is working perfect now!
The only thing i now have to do is search for some nice ring and message tones
Finally i can call and be called again

[q] defy + problems

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

strange internal memory problem!

This is a new problem to me I thought I had experienced them all until now I've tried everything that I can think of to fix it including changing the recovery and the kernel and the rom and checked permissions. The issue I'm having is my phone works rom works fine except I cannot seem to write to the internal sd NOT the external that is working fine now I'm using roms that have the fix! I can't save files from my browser or anywhere in fact to the internal sd I can install roms ok and apps as long as I save them to ext sd first but they are installing fine but when I try to download anything or just update an app it won't do it and I can't seem to work out why after trying for two days I give up and I'm hoping someone on xda has had a similar issue! I have also checked the mount options at recovery! It seems to me as if the permissions are the issue but I can't find or fix the correct one of it is the permissions. But wouldn't the permissions be reset after a clean install?
Thanks in advance!

galaxy S4 microsd card problem

Hello
I have SanDisk 64gb microsd. I have not done anything to the phone and now periodically the phone stops reading the 64gb card .It does not say unmounted just when I check gallery the photos are not there and I have to restart the phone.
I have a rooted 4.3 ROM..The only thing I can think of is ES file explorer potentially caused issues. I noticed things acting weird after I used it when I do heavily.
Please help. Any and all advice welcome. Thanks
Tried to re flash a nandroid still issues. I noticed in general my touchwiz is running so slow. I flashed sacs red theme about a month ago. Not sure if that had anything to do with it. Should not have.
It will reread it when I remount it or reboot. Not sure specifically what is causing it though.

Have you tried searching the forums for sdcard fix? Google it? There have been issues with 4.4 and sdcard reading issues. Also downloading foldermount from the playstore has helped others with issues. If all else fails reinstall rom.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA Free mobile app
I searched on Google and there is not really a concise answer as to why this happens. It is a very ambigious issue, however; it seems to be a reoccuring issue with SanDisk cards and 4.4 KitKat ROMs.
What I did was completely flush out and re-installed both custom recovery and my ROM to 4.2.2
It is disappointing because I really like my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone and you'd think upgrades mean better quality product when it has not. 4.4 KitKat ROM is not that good. I don't like both CM and TW versions of KK. One feature I do not like with TW KitKat is the inability to hide icons. There are also issues with battery drain and free hotspot mod.
I don't know what is going on. When I plug my phone into the computer I can access the SD card. When I check the phone it is not reading the SD card. Don't know what the problem is.
Have you tried a different SD card? That would help you determine if it is specific to the card or potentially a phone issue.
What I will do is try and format the SD card with the phone, then put everything back on. So far, I have isolated it to ESFile explorer. Initially I did not update the apk and thought that would work. It did not.
Here's what has happened:
I use ESFile explorer to access the SD card. Then when I went into clockworkmod, I tried to delete a nandroid copy I made. It says 'failed to delete'.
Then the ROM and sdCard do not work correctly anymore, so I have to wipe and re-flash an old nandroid.
Makes me wonder if something is corrupted in the SD Card. Everything used to work fine, but now whenever I access the SD Card with ESFile explorer, even the old version of it, it causes issue.
There is a problem with some Sandisk SD cards. Evidently there was a bad batch. I had some of the same issues. My card was bad. I went to Sandisk's website and they replaced it for free. I was without my card for a week but I got a new one and everything seems to be working fine now.
Can you explain how you did this ? So an update on my situation. I can read the sd card but it will not format and nothing can be written to the card. I tried using recovery and touchwiz to format and it fails.
Can access what is on there but cannot write or format anymore. Any ideas ? At this point I swapped to a new SanDisk card I had lying around. Don't know what to do with the old card

I assume you are asking me how I got my card replaced. I did some research and found the issue mentioned here on XDA as well as on the internet. I went to Sandisk's website, http://kb.sandisk.com/app/answers/list/kw/microsd microsdhc/, and did some more research. I finally contacted their customer service and they told me the process for getting the replacement shipped. If I were you I would just contact their customer service on their website and let them run you through the process.

[Q] Major Camera Glitch after update to Rooted NI2

Did the update to my S5 from rooted NCG to rooted NI2, everything works great BUT having a major camera issue.
When I take a picture, and immediately review it from within the camera app, it does something to the picture. They show up as a grey screen. When I try to review them in the gallery, they show up as these grey broken thumbnails. I can't send them via MMS. It says "can't send file".
Now, if I take the picture, back out of the camera app, and ONLY review them in the galley app, they are fine. This only happens if i review them with in the camera app.
Now, here's the thing , this only happens when the pictures save to the SDcard. If it saves to the Phone's storage, there's no problems.
Didn't happen on NCG. Does this have something to do with the Secure Storage glitch related to Root and Xposed? I just deleted the secure storage module, and it's still happening. (Don't use S-Health so it didn't matter).
Is there anything I can do. We just had triplets, and we're taking A LOT of pictures, and just realized I've lost half of my pictures. This sucks.
Do I re-install the stock camera app? If I do, where do I find it?
Please help. Having root, isn't worth not being able to use my camera.
Can't format SD Card, SD Card is Write Only?
Since this issue is only happening when the photo's are saving to the SDCard, I attempted to FORMAT the card.
Using the phone to FORMAT, the phone UNmounts the card, says preparing, and REmounts the card exactly as is, without formatting it.
So I tried to reformat it on the computer, three different times, three different programs including the Windows 7 utility, ALL of them gave me the message that my SD Card is WRITE ONLY?
What the heck is that? Did the NI2 update do something to my SD card? Did it corrupt my SD Card?
Any one have any ideas? Guesses? Similar experiences?

Never heard of that one...
Do you have exposed installed? Any other MODs? Install any apps that mess with permissions or SD Card?
If no to any of the above, backup all of your data (sd cards too): wipe the entire phone (including SD Card), ODIN back to an older rootable build, and start over.
Pretty sure it's the SD card.
Spoke to SanDisk, they said that something caused a fault in the card, and as a safety measure, the card will become write protected so your data can't be corrupted.
You can copy the data on the card, but you can't add or delete files. So the camera won't record new pictures to the card.
I tried to delete some sensitive files from the card through the File Explorer, and the phone reboots.
I've been using the phone's on board storage, and no issues thus far.
So everything is pointing to the card.
I have Xposed.
The only modules I have loaded is the Moto X tether, YouTube Ad Away, and the Secure Storage Fake that re-enable S Health.
Could one of these mods have created a fault in the card?

Always possible when using MODs. Secure Storage Fake.. what all does that do? It's also possible the sdcard just failed. Things happen.
The S Health mod that changes your secure storage from True to False.
Fixes the S Health crash, and Private mode failure caused by running Xposed on the S5.
With NCG and NHA, I used to physical make the changes in the system/build.prop, and change ro.securestorage.support from True to False.
On NI2, and just used the Xposed module that does it for you.
That's the only thing I did different.

I believe most ROMs here already have build prop set to false (mine does). As for private mode, I don't use it so I couldn't make any mention on that note.
Have you tried another SD Card yet?
I'm stock, so I have to physically set it.
I have a new sd card on order, so we'll try again with a new one.
I really don't use S Health that much, and never use private mode, so I think I'm going to delete that mod and leave it at true.
Then again, it could just be a bad card. My S4, has had the same card (64 gb Ultra) for almost 2 years, a lot of the same settings, and never had a problem.
