Hello,
Today I've flashed MAGLDR+CWM and then flashed Android. All worked perfectly until I decided to flash another build and tried to copy the ZIP package to my SD card, which I couldn't. When booting to MAGLDR usb mass storage option the computer "sees" the SD, but as soon as file copy starts the computer "loses" the SD and MAGLDR freezes (had to take battery out). When I boot the build I flashed, connect USB cable and select USB Mass storage, the computer sees the drive but claims there's no disk in it. What is wrong here?
TIA
Don't use magldr mass storage, it has bugs. Boot into cwm, go to mounts and storage and select mount usb storage. Works perfectly.
MAGDLR work for me... CWM not...
Anyway, the best is to just slot your SD in a card reader.
NB: If you're under Android, do not forget to "unmount" the SD before removing it.
[SOLVED][Q] Can't copy files to SD
It now looks like the problem is PC-related, as I was able to successfully copy files to SD from another computer. Thank you for your help.
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?
I tried to install the operating system on external sd card by putting on it the backup of the internal memory, patched boot partition with this pase.zip and activate adb with uRamdisk file in uRamdisk_usb_adb_init_1.1_1.1.2.zip , decompressed in the same partition.
This seems to work but I can not install books and I do not see the sd when I connect the player to my computer (linux).
Do you have any idea or know a version already prepared and simply to copy to sd?
I installed App2SD (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.co.pricealert.apps2sd&hl=en) on my head unit in hopes to create symlinks between my internal and external storage to free up my internal storage to install more apps. In process of doing so it needed to partition my external SD card. I selected FAT32 & ext2. After it rebooted I found that my SDCard, USB Flash Drives, and External SD card were no longer mounted. Infact they dont even appear at all in ES File explorer as if they didnt exist. Looking in storage, I do not get an option to format my SD card or USB drives. I took them to my PC and confirmed they are still FAT32. I reformatted my Micro SD Card from my PC and although it was successful it did not bring any of my external devices back.
I cannot mount the SD card.
Errors Im getting
The above is the original mounting point of my External SD Card, taken from External 2 Internal - it is no longer mounting and External 2 Internal no longer even sees it when I scan for additional devices.
This is what appears to be currently mounted.
Additional troubleshooting I took.
If anyone could help I really need it because I cannot reinstall redmod without the device being able to read the external SD card, I also cannot listen to any of my music or access any of my apps that were moved to the SD Card. Also can anyone show me how to properly create symlinks using that app without losing all my mounts?
Hi, I'm using Dirty Unicorns on my Redmi2. Since it's marshmallow, I'm using adoptable storage, i.e. using my sd card as internal storage, so I can install apps to the sd card. but since this mode formats and encrypts the sd card, I can't access files that I want to flash with TWRP when booting recovery. I thought TWRP 3 was supposed to support adoptable storage, but even after updating it I can't seem to get it working. Am I forgetting something here?
Thanks in advance.
Where in the Aroma File manager are you Searching for your SD card ? Pls attach a Screenshot of the directory , using root explorer
You must identify where exactly your adoptable SD card mounted to. You can search for it using CM File manager. It should be like /mnt/storage/XXX.
