I used this tool to backup the data on my device to my PC. Specifically the Camera directory on my SD Card.
Camera stopped working after that, even with developer mode completely off - adb shell and logcat on the camera tells me something like "Problem opening the camera id(0), possibly a problem with the camera." Don't know if that's an indicator of a hardware issue. My phone seems to think its camera is always on (can't turn on the flashlight, says it's in use by the camera).
Tried safe mode to rule out third party apps, uninstalled snapchat, cleared camera data & cache, cleared phone cache, etc. I checked the permissions on the DCIM & Camera directory on my SD card through adb shell which seemed to be correct, tried mv'ing & renaming the DCIM directory, unmounting the SD card, clearing data & cache on the gallery.. think I covered everything. I'm thinking a full reset will fix it, don't really want to deal with it, but I'm out of other ideas.
Anyone have any other bright ideas to fix this? My best guess is that I caused some sort of permissions issue somewhere with that script.
EDIT: Even after a factory reset, the camera still doesn't function.

Hello,
Few hours ago, I managed to fix the grey "Move to SD" problem in froyo by using the setInstallLocation 2 solution, after doing that, I moved all my applications to the SD card. Then I did a wipe factory reset to my device.
When turning on the phone, the SD card apps were gone, but they are still in my SD card "secure" folder,files with .asec extension.
They don't exist in my phone, but when turning on the usb storage, i can see them in my SD card.
Has this happened to anyone?? ty very much/1
I don't have much experience with this option, but I would say that a wipe is a wipe and the associated file on the sdcard is only a link to the put the application on the sdcard not the full application.
At best it would keep the option when you re-download that application from the market.
If so, where the real application is? what's the point of "moving the SD" if the application is still stored on the phone?
And it can't be a link because of the size of the files, it's really near the size of the application. I'm convinced it is the application, but wondering why I can't use or find them.
it's pissing me off, i had plenty of games and useful apps
yes, the "registry" of installed apps is gone with the wipe, so android does not know how to use those files on the sd card. You will have to nandroid/titanium restore or reinstall.
Aww.. lucky i got the saved games on the sd...
I got an unrelated question:
I found that the apn settings are saved under the file apns-conf.xml.
I downloaded the file with the settings i need, pushed it to system/etc and still i don't get the apn settings. tried rebooting the phone, and wonders why i still don't get the apns?
If you have a backup, restore it, move all your apps back to phone, then wipe, flash the new rom and move them back to SD.
All problems solved, ty
I have used the same SD card through several HTC phones (Evo 4g, Evo Shift, and Evo 3d) and all of my content is on it. I have had my S4 since opening weekend, and had it rooted about a month later. I have been using TriForce Rom 3.1 for about 6 weeks now.
For about 2 weeks, everything worked just fine. Then one day, I noticed that all of my pics and albums disappeared from Gallery. All of my music and playlists disappeared from the Music app. All of my downloaded ringtones disappeared from the list. When I use ES Explorer or Root Explorer all of the content is there inside the correct folders in /mnt/ExtSdCardHere is what all I have tried...
1. Unmount and re-mount SD Card
2. Fix permissions via TWRP
3. Move items from ExtSdcard to sdcard (this works for all media, but i don't accept this as the only solution. There has to be a better way)
4. Scour ExtSdCard for .nomedia (it is nowhere to be found)
5. Download different apps. Rocket Player can find all of the music, but I have yet to find a Gallery app that will find them all. (once again, there has to be a better way)
6. Clear data and cache of the offending apps in Application manager.
7. Wipe Cache and Dalvik from recovery.
The other wierd thing is that in the native music app I have a single album named "Kernel" with a bunch of "songs" like 2x, 5x, 6, Air, Binaural, Binaural2, Blackface Deluxe
Any help here would be appreciated. I have no idea if this is a Rom issue or not. I'll try to get UnknownForce to look at this thread just in case.
Maybe go into settings, then far right tab, then... I forgot what it's called. In application manager, you can clear the cache of each program that isn't behaving and it might rebuild the cache. In recovery, you could wipe cache and dalvik so it would rebuild everything. As for another gallery program, I've always used quickpic. Could it be that the media files got corrupted?

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried them both, and no luck. I added them to the list above. As for corrupted files, wouldn't that mean that I couldn't view them at all? I can open them through Root Explorer as well as by putting the SD card into the computer. However, when I connect via USB the only folder that I see on the SD card is DCIM
Problem solved! (at least temporarily)
I did a clean install of the Rom and everything seems to be working fine. I guess that I messed with something on accident.
Yeah that's a good possibility. Fresh full installs are the best way to go.
I successfully rooted but the upgrade of the su binary (using superuser) failed and the stock recovery went into some kind of failsafe and wiped the phone.
I had recently made a backup using adb and restored that backup using adb.
I wasn't too happy with the result. It seemed to miss a bunch of my apps and settings that I had to manually bring back to the way I had it.
Additionally, I found that I had to re-uninstall/turn off the bloatware apps that I had done before the backup.
Other than those minor annoyances, everything else seemed to restore just fine except for the Gallery app.
Ever since the restore my gallery app shows no pictures or videos (not blank thumbnails, a lack of any albums at all). There are pictures on the internal memory and external SD card and it shows neither.
When I open the "Content to display" menu and hit "OK" it scans the memory for media for a while and when that completes gallery does display the albums of pictures that are stored in memory.
However, if i reboot the device or even leave the gallery app for a while and come back to it, all of the pictures and albums are missing again.
I have tried stopping the gallery app and clearing cache and data (as suggested in other threads).
I tried using a root enabled file explorer to delete the gallery data folders (both in /data/data/com.sec.android.gallery3d as well as in /sdcard/Android/data/com.sec.android.gallery3d) with the same result.
I have tried pulling all the images off the internal memory and putting them back (as suggested in another thread).
I have tried other gallery apps like F-Stop and it functions as you would expect.
All of this leads me to believe the problem is with Gallery app and not the storage of the images themselves.
A similar thread suggested that he solved it by formatting the storage. I'm willing to give that a try if it seems likely to work. But since it was a little bit of work to get everything correct again after the restore, I'd rather not if there is another way. (Plus, I'm not fully sure how to go about it).
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
I recently received my new S5, I rooted the phone, and also bought a 32gb external sd card. I realized that with KitKat 4.4.2, google has prevented apps from writing to the external SD card. I looked up workarounds to this problem and came to this:
trendblog.net/fix-kitkat-sd-card-write-restriction
I applied the fix to my phone, editing the platform.xml file, rebooted, and realized that my INTERNAL SD folder has now been wiped clean and is now empty. A lot of apps stopped working, including youtube, google, samsung keyboard etc, with the message "unfortunately <insert app name> has stopped". In particular, the MyScript Resource Manager constantly stops, and gives me that message. I am unable to go online either even though am able to connect to wireless and data networks.
I have tried different ways to solve the issue, including factory reset, and flashing stock rom, but my internal SD folder remains empty.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this issue?
I've just had the exact thing happen. We're you able to fix?

I moved Acrobat Reader app to SD card and my phone started crashing and restarting suddenly.
I had to uninstall the app to prevent that.
Any time i reinstalled the app, I had to uninstall it, because it kept restarting.
Tried with other apps that could be moved to the SD card, and the same happened.
I include logcat output as attachment.
Even if I install some app that can't be moved to SD card, (like I did at 13:54 in the log) my phone restarts until I uninstall it.
Tried reinstalling (clearing data and updating) Google Play Store and Google Play services, and nothing.
Even my phone suddenly crashes without doing none of the above, without any crashing app installed (like it did at 18:41 in log).
My questions are:
1) How to solve it?
2) Isn't moving apps to the SD card supported?
3) If factory reset is the only solution, then there is some way to automate it with script?
I have all my settings documented, but doing it manually is so annoying. Even if I do now, i would like the possibility of scripting or backuping them for the next time.
I factory reset, and sudden restarts were gone few days.
But today my phone suddenly restarted and I got a new error.
I attach logcat output.
