Howdy,
I recently bought a motorola razr xt910 it was stuck on android 2.3.6 and the previous guy didn't root it properly. I followed the guides here and upgraded it to ICS 4.0.4 successfully.
After I installed cwm,bmm trying to flash cyanogenmod 10.1 from hashcode but found out I had to use Safestrap. This all worked fine using the guides on this forum except when I plug the USB cable in to it it recognises the internal storage as read-only and doesn't even see the external storage.
Rom is: cm-10.1-20130129-UNOFFICIAL-umts_spyder
Flashed in slot 1 using SS3.11
Android 4.2.1
I can read/write to both SDCARDS in es explorer. I've tried messing with the permissions of /storage/sd* in terminal
Everything else seems fine and fixed the wireless peap problem ICS had.
Any suggestions, i've gone through the forum but can't seem to find anything about this.
Thanks

Hi there, I have been using Galaxy s2 for 2 years now, and so far i have no problem, but recently a problem comes. It is involving my external SD (this may have been posted, so I apologize should this already been posted).
I was using Biftor ROM 8.2 (4.1.2) until then I upgrade to Biftor Rom 9.0, and when I wanted to access the External SD via My Files, it hang, and the program force-quit by itself, but in Gallery, I can open the files from my External SD such as music, video, pictures, etc2. I also tried unmounting and remounting, but..same result..I cannot browse it through My Files. I have tried using other File Explorer, like ES File Explorer, but it got same result as My Files. I also tried different ROM, like NeatROM, but I got same result also...So i have to reflash official 4.0.3 (is the one I have atm). I tried the 4.0.3, but this time, it can access my external SD via My Files...any solution to solve the external SD issue, since I want to upgrade to 4.1.2 rooted ROM? Thank you

Does ur PC recognises the ext-sdcard, if so then connect phone to PC under USB mass storage mode and run 'Checkdisk' to see for any errors on the same.
If u find any then, BKp the data on it and do a format (fat32) and restore the data and then see if the File managers on the phone can read it
Yes, it does recognize in PC and also in USB storage. I did error checking but no error found. so i presume i have to BKed and then format it?
Hi,
i have no Problems with stock Rom, but in all 4.3 ROMs especially in PA 3.99 RC2, the Android system doesn't mount the sdcard0.
Does anyone know why?
PS: I am using the JBX Kernel

try to clear cache from your recovery or else reset to factory defaults, this trick worked for my wi-fi issues
hi,
i already tried that
this also happens on every other 4.3 ROM to me with and without jbx kernel
Got The same problem. Gallery and camera wont let me in
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
I think this is an issue on all 4.3 ROMs, I have the same problem on Carbon 4.3.
thanks for the replies, then all 4.3 ROMs are just unusable
strange that noone complained about that in the DEV forums

This is not true.. Every 4.3 rom i have flashed has had storage1/storage0. My micro sd card is where i keep my mp3 music i listen to via player pro. Sd is where my custom ringtones i created are stored along with pics, etc. Works great. Listen, sometimes going back to the beginning and starting over with stock firmware flash is needed as these memory slots can get corrupted. I use titanium back up for any/all apps/data with out these issues. Or simply go back to stock and copy what u dont want to lose to your micro sd (root explorer) is great or simply plug phone into computer and create a new folder on desk top for your keeps. After copy, format sd storage (pull micro sd card first) or simply copy nothing to micro sd only to computer and format both sd/micro sd. (Recomend) Would for sure do factory reset, if using ss uninstall and start fresh. This is not a guaranteed solution, only a suggestion.. Seems to have worked just fine for me more than once.. And others with similar issue.

hit ThAnKs if I was helpful!!!
I have the same problem - only 1.28 GB of internal storage is seen by phone, even though it shows 13+ GB when connected to the PC.
is there anything that may help, (other then formatting everything) ?
I have already wiped cache/dalvic cache and mounted sdcard0 and sdcard1 in the CWM Recovery - didn't make any difference.
dont know if this is the right place to post my question but since im a noob the forum doesn't let me post anywhere else and this is the first time ive posted here because i usually find what im after in this forum so thanks for that !
ive read alot about the Read Write issues being experienced with Google's Android unwilling to let you use your external SD card for storage of Apps and writing to it , ive followed some tutorials about the net and even tried jamisons pre-rooted Rom for SM-T120 and everytime i get nowhere with it all .. my tab3 is now rooted but i cant write to the card .. is this going to be possible or does anyone know something i haven't tried ...
so i will tell you what ive tried for now
editing permissions.xml
loading the pre-rooted firmware
changing permissions to vold.fstab file
is there something out there !
thanks for any suggestions and help .. much appreciated Paul :good:
im running 4.1.2 Android Version and its Rooted - Build JZ054K.T210XXAMG2
I think that is not enough. I did the same ... in my research I came across the void.fstab in some devices is possible in the galaxy 3 do not know what the correct code.
I found universal files vold.fstab, but without success

I may have just found a solution , the root method is fine by jamison ... then once that has been flashed and the tablet has restarted , go into oden again and flash the CWM recovery the same way as you do for the pre rooted firmware .. then follow these instructions i found posted by stefan !
Ok, I fixed the issue:
- Mounted USB storage (external SD) in CWM
- Backed up all files from my external SD (except a strange folder named µATA, which could not be read at all)
- Formatted the external SD under Windows
- Copied back my files to the external SD
- Restarted Android
Now the external SD is mounted r/w. Also in Root Explorer I can see that the external SD is r/w and not r/o as before.
hope this works for you as i think its working for me as ive just been able to delete a folder from widows via the USB cable .. where i didnt have access before

The device recognizes the sd as storage for apps?
I always had access to my sd on windows with USB cable, except in recovery, i use the TWRP, in recovery i can't mount SD with USB cable, but i think is an issue of TWRP or CWM.
My problem is to enable the move app to sd or recognize it has internal memory. I know that in SGS3 is possible to recognize sd card as internal memory changing the script in vold.fstb, in tab 3 it should not be so different.
PS: is a shame... i can't post links yet :angel:.

yes i could see the SD external card in windows but i could not write to it in windows or delete any folders or files in windows .. but with the method used posted above i can write to the Ex sdcard and delete with no write access problems at all ... i updated to the latest firmware tonight to see if it was still working but it didnt and became like it was before ... so i tried to just flash the recovery file back on it again only and now i have access to the SDcard again and its again rooted ! ... no changes to any file
how did you root yOur device? can u give me a link please... am using tab 3 Sm T210 and ver 4.1.2
Quick background. I'm fairly experienced with everything involving rooting and installing custom roms. I actually had a custom rom on my Eris. Last night I remembered I hadn't updated to the newest cm nightly in a while and I was having camera issues. For the last few months i've used the cm built in updater to update. The download must have been corrupt and when trying to install it failed and the phone is boot looping.
I have no backups on the phone. No clue where they went or why I would have deleted them and I have no valid rom file on the phone.
Can I mount the internal memory using twrp recovery ? My sd cards are all at work which I'm off for the holiday so not currently an option.
My PC recognizes the phone when I plug it in. I even tried to push a file using odin the phone was recognized in a com port but the file push failed.
Any help is appreciated. Currently using my Gnex with KitKat and no apps. Runs fairly quick.
Thanks.
Hey everyone,
I just recently rooted my phone (today) using the method (liquidsmooth 2.37) on the unlockr that uses moborobo and windroid htc rezound toolkit. I am having issues now that the phone doesn't recognize the sd-card. I can mount and unmount it on the settings>storage, I believe I no longer have internal storage anymore. Under Storage I see Internal Storage 2.34GB, then Sd-card 14.82GB, and at the bottom internal storage appears again but no space size is below it. I backed up my stock rom before doing the root, but it was saved to the internal sd-card. And CWM doesn't mount the sd-card so I can even restore to the original. I have seen post about flashing the stock recovery using the all-in-one toolkit. I am not sure have exactly to do this or if that would help. Also for some reason I can no longer connect (debugging, not engaging even thought phone says it is on) to the toolkit ever since I completed the root. I have tried connecting through wifi with thoughts of using the adb commands, but I am not comfortable at all using that method.
Could anyone help fix this. If I can fix the sd mounting issue I would keep the liquidsmooth rom. Also if someone can help me understand how to go back to a stock rom I would gladly do it as well. I have seen several post about flashing RUU's but I am don't entirely understand that process as well.
Sorry if I come across as a complete idiot, I am just not that great with this stuff.
switch storage for sd card
Hey everyone I have been looking into more into my phone. Just elaborate from my first post I went from ICS to JB on the rezound. From several post I have seen is that the storage gets a little weird.
On my phone I can mount the sd card under settings>storage, but the phone doesn't recognize it as the sdcard, but rather as the external_sd (in root explorer). When I try to open sdcard in root explorer it tells me not mounted or can't mount. I believe my phone and all its apps for downloading or storage want to use the sdcard link, but my sd card is appearring as external_sd. How can I tell my phone to recognize my sd card as sdcard (in root explorer) or tell my phone to store in external_sd (where my sd card is appearing right now)?
Thanks for any help.
Hey everyone,
I fixed my issue. After reading several post the issue of losing internal storage is common when changing android versions. I read to flash firmware patch. I did this and I also Read that USB debugging is an issue when super user isn't correct. I downloaded supersu from play, even though liquidsmooth has it built in. I connected to my PC and was connecting. Then after my phone detected internal SD card and said needed to be formatted. I formatted it within the phone boom.! Done!

This is very odd... I have to question whether the initial flash worked properly if su wasn't working, LiquidSmooth is very stable and bug-free ROM. What HBoot, recovery, and radio versions do you have? What "patch" did you flash?

Thank you so much I too flashed the 2.37 Liquid Smooth rom and had the above issue, with nothing being mounted under sdcard, at least in root explorer. When attempting to install some of my larger apps from the play store they would tell me that "APPNAMEHERE" requires external storage for some functionality. Please retry after ensuring that external storage space is available. Again when attempting to enter the sdcard folder under root explorer it would notify me that "the sd card is not currently mounted". Under the mnt folder there was no sdcard just external_sd. While under STORAGE there was sdcard0 and sdcard1. With sdcard0 being completely empty, and sdcard1 just having the files I had put on the removable sd card.
I didn't do anything about firmware, but I did follow your suggestion about reinstalling supersu from the play store then connecting to the computer. Immediately after doing so the phone recognized the sdcard and offered to format it for me, and I can now sdcard is mounted properly again and the folder can be accessed under root explorer. One of the other symptoms of the above is that if I went to phone setting then storage I could see all of my storage both internal and on the external sd card but there was nothing below the external sd card space, where now it has total space for both types below the sd card storage. Again thanks so much I had been banging my head against this wall for days as this is the first time I flashed a rom to my rezound or any android for that matter.
I'm glad my experienced helped someone else, cause like you I had no idea what to do

Mine is a little bit complicated..I'm running the latest liquid smooth rom, my internal storage is detected by file managers(root explorer,xplore file manager). But in the settings/apps/ the internal storage is not present. And liquid smooth seems to be the only rom with this bug.
