[Q] Cannot install to USB storage or SD card, ideas? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I recently updated from ICS to JB via the "official droid RAZR jelly bean update :
however when I try to update the Reddit Is Fun app I get an error that I couldnt install on USB storage or SD card. I've tried looking for a solution and found a few, However I looked in the SD card folder and could not find the file it mentions, I also looked in the internal storage of the phone and there is a .android folder but there is not a file named smdl2tmp1.asec
TL: DR I'm trying to get updates but cannot update due to error "couldnt install on USB storage or SD card" current google searches have not helped any one know of a solution?
I cannot post links but will send via pm

[Q] Mass storage and sdcard problem creating folder

Hello everyone. I owned the Samsung Galaxy S2.
ICS 4.0.4
Baseband version I9100XXLQ5
Kernel version 3.0.15-I9100XXLQ5-CL753921
Build number IMM76D.XXLQ5
I have a problem I can not solve, so I hope someone will help!
Can not create a folder in "sdcard". When I try to create a folder appears the error "Sorry, operation failed." I use ES File Explorer.
Also when you want to copy a folder from the external sd, disallowing.
Note that the external _sd can create a folder and I have no problem as the sdcard (internal memory).
Also when I connect my phone to PC as Mass Storage, the sdcard can not create a folder.
It appears to me the error "The file '<1% NULL: NameDest>' is too large for the destination file system".I tried to re flashing ROM,but no effects.
I will be grateful if someone help me or direct me to where I can find a solution to this problem.

I Also had this Problem, the way i fixed it was:
1. close your phone and remove your SD card.
2. plug the SD card to your PC and run Error checking & Defragmentation.
3. if you wish Format the SD (i did that).
4. put back the SD card in your phone.
5. i used Astro file manger on my phone try this app to make /copy / paste on your SD.
Hope that will help you as it help me.
If not the last thing i can advice you to do is to replace the SD with a Different SD and see if with another one it is working... maybe your SD card just died on you...
Good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did what you said, and I tried a new card, but it did not help.
My problem is to create a folder on the internal memory and copying from external memory. T
he external card can I create a folder and I have no problems there.
I solved the problem. I did Factory data reset.
My phone was first a SIM lock, so I unlocked the service.
I was afraid that it will be locked again if you do Factory data reset, but I risked, and there were no problems.
Only now I have another problem, 4GB internal memory, and should be 16GB.( i not touched PIT file)

[Q] What went wrong accessing the External SD?

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?

[Q] Rezound Root using liquidsmooth rom not detecting sd-card

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.

External memory card undetected

Hi guys,
My external memory card has all of a sudden become undetectable. Inside root explorer it appears as a file and not a folder. When i try to see its permissions it is set to read only. I changed it to read write but still its not detectable. Moreover it changes to read only on every reboot.
I was on Resurrection Rom v 5.10 so i updated to v5.14 with full wipe. Still the issue remains.
I have searched on google and it appears to be something related to kitkat. I tried a few solutions like running 3rd party media scanners or editing the permission.xml but all in vain
I tried installing other kitkat roms like Neat Rom v5.8 ..now i can see the extSdCard as folder but when i open it its blank...Moreover i can see the permissions set as rwxrwxrwx in root explorer,but if i manually go to set permission for the folder it gives a popup saying "extSdCard permission cannot be set because the file system is read only"
I tried installing stock JB rom via odin but still it didnt help ..
If i try to mount external Sd card from cwm it gives error saying"Can't Mount "
Note: I tried 3 different SD cards and all went undetected where as they were detectable on other phones.
Need help guys.
Attaching few screenshots for better understanding
If you are unable to read the card's data then consider it lost. Connect it to your PC in USB mass storage mode, it should appear as a drive. If you can read the data, take a backup else leave it. Now format your external card using windows.
It should fix the issue for you.

[Q] Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card" error?

After Install NOTE 3 ROM COLOSSUS™ 5.0.0914 by RemZej & CMahendra for A116 I have this Problem.
I've tried looking around online and finding details on this error, and so far nothing that has been suggested has worked! Whenever I try to install larger apps, I get the "Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card" error. I noticed this last night when trying to install Bloons TD5. After downloading and attempting to install it for a while, I'd get the above error. I then tried downloading a smaller app (Words) and that one worked with no problems. Went back to Bloons, same error. I then tried Monopoly since I know that's a bigger app too, but got the same error above.
The majority of fixes have said to unmount/remount the SD card, but I don't have the option to do that as there's no SD card in my device (MMX CHD A116). Both the USB and SD Card unmount options are dark/grayed out and unusable. Another forum said to search for an mnt folder, but that doesn't exist on my device. I tried searching within "internal storage" for the culprit file for most people (smdl2tmp1.asec) and it didn't find anything. This also isn't about me not having room - I've got 1.9 GB available. I've tried turning the device off and back on, and also searching in the Play Store's settings to see if maybe for some reason it was trying to save large files to the SD card, but couldn't find a relevant option. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
If the device is rooted.
Try the following link see if that helps.
