Hello,
Recently, I have followed a tutorial to root Samsung Galaxy Ace 2 within 2.3.6. But, it wasn't precise and I have tried within 4.1.2. Device didn't boot, it stayed on SAMSUNG logo. I have could "reinstall" 4.1.2 and the mobile run correctly. But, after "reinstall", device didn't have access to internal SD card and it said "Space short (0bytes)". Whenever I launched a software (example camera), it said "Please disconnect mass storage" but device wasn't connect to something... I have an external SD card, the mobile see her and her capacity (example 2,2Go/4Go) but I haven't access too.
When I connect my phone to the computer, it sees external SD card and know play her contents. Computer sees internal SD card but not her contents and her storage capacity is -15045154 bytes...
I think, may be, ways to access sdcard0 and external SD card have been change in device.
I hope to find a solution to recover my files without reset and all lose, you are my last hope.
Best regards.
Hum, anyone an idea ?
how did you root your device? what options/commands did you execute? Maybe you've accidentally messed with the memblocks or something. Have you tried formatting your internal sd through your phone?
On tutorial, I had to put "update_su_I8160.zip" on my SD card (internal or external, it wasn't precise). So, I have her place to internal SD card. Then, reboot in download mode. I launched Odin, connected my phone to computer, put "I8160XXLD8_ready_to_root_ANT.tar.md5" in PDA, "Start". After this, phone has been reboot and lock on SAMSUNG logo. Then I had "reinstall" Jelly Bean.
I didn't formate internal SD, all will be lost.
Try to root your phone using this one:

And always put your flash files to your external sdcard, it's much safer that way.
Ok, external SD card, I don't forget.
Root is success. But, I I thought that uninstall applications imposed for example but I cannot...
So, the root didn't have change for my problem.
I thank you anyway to the solution to root !

Did you regain access to your internal sdcard my friend?
As you can see, the link that I gave you shows how to root ace 2 on GB (2.3.6) and JB (4.1.2). Hence, different android versions, had different ways of rooting. So if you flash GB and used the JB method of rooting, that may definitely cause some issues. That's what I seem to understand with regards to your prost, so please correct me if i'm wrong.
What do you mean by, "But, I thought that uninstall applications imposed for example but I cannot..."? Kindly elaborate.
Uninstalling applications is easy once the device is rooted. Did you have access to your phone after rooting to 2.3.6, or it just got stuck at boot logo on first boot?
Yes, two ways to root GB and JB. I had use GB root method on JB system and I didn't have access to my phone, only lock on boot logo.
For uninstall applications, there is a method in particular ? Or just Settings -> Applications -> Samsung Apps (I hate) -> Uninstall ?
To finish, I don't have access to internal SD card, again :/

That may have caused the problem, the way you root the phone. You should've used JB way of rooting JB and vice-versa. There are many ways to uninstall system apps, one way is via rootexplorer (needs root access), and delete apk's on 'system/app' folder. Or much more easier way is to use Root Uninstaller. Just be careful on deleting system apps. Some of them are necessary for the device to run, and by deleting those apps may cause bootloop or might get stuck at boot logo. But first, you need to fix your phone. Try reflashing ROM and proceed to the proper rooting process as per version. Goodluck!

Hope you'll be able to fix your phone soon. Keep me posted.
I reading your link but I had see "The Solution is fairly straight forward, However It's not a repair and it is not possible to recover any data from the Internal memory."
If I not can recover data, I can do a reset :/

I just hope that yours was not a case of sdcard corruption. 'cause that link's topic was about corrupted internal sd. Try to flash the last working ROM that you had use, wherein the internal sd used to be detected.
Ah ok.
Jelly Bean is my last ROM (stock firmware by SAMSUNG) and it was reinstall correctly (after the "fail" with root GB on JB). But, nothing changes :/
I see (in recovery mode, Odin) "Leave CS...". What is this ?
Ok, it's the end...
I had try to reinstall stock firmware (the same that my phone) but I had obtain an error and now on boot my phone, I have "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I had try to launch "urgency restore", a full reset, but I had obtain a Korean message
So, it's a disaster.
Now, if it's possible, I want to reset my phone, I want to work. If not possible, go to after sales service...
I hate SAMSUNG, performances restricts , useless applications installed... to have to root the phone... AND FAIL.............
clean sdcard then use.
2 month ,i have had same problem

Sad to hear that buddy. If it's under warranty, you can try to send it to service center -but rooting voids the warranty- so i guess it'll be out of the option, unless you can revert to stock recovery. It's really hard to deal with hardware once it wears out.
The warranty wasn't SAMSUNG, I forgot
I have a luck, may be. Normally, they will go trade, or repair.
I abreast you. Topic will be closed soon probably.
I think my files in internal SD card are irrecoverable now. It's unfortunate.
I learned this week, SAMSUNG sucks for low cost offers. I think buy Nexus next time, so much less changes on Android (I hope).
Sir I have lenovo a6000 when I insert SD card it show 0bytes but show SD card and I cannot access it.
So I've got a strange problem with my phone. Sometimes after I snap a picture the phone freezes and reboots and the pic I took is corrupt (saving to phone storage). More interesting is that my microSD somehow decided it was going to corrupt and be unusable as well. I noticed this after trying to take pix and they would all be corrupted when saving to SD.
Anyone ever seen this before? Going to try a factory reset today and see if that solves any problems.
Running stock rooted ROM.
More info about your device like is it
Unlocked?
Custom recovery?
Rooted?
S-OFF?
ROM if at all?
Was the sdcard you inserted new or did you use your device to format it.did you select the option to save to the external sdcard .
I think after doing a factory reset you should format the sdcard with the device and than use "SD fixer" from the play store if rooted and give it a go again.this is all with no info about your device specifics
Stock rooted ROM. Clockwork Mod. Not unlocked.
The SD card came out of my Note 3 which I had been using fine for about a year and it never had a problem. In fact it seemed to work fine in the M8 for a couple of weeks. Card can be read from but not written too either by the phone nor a computer. It will no longer format either. I've tried formatting in computer and in phone as well, no dice.
After that all started happening I switched my camera back to saving yo internal memory. That's when my phone would start locking up and rebooting randomly when I would take a pic. Doesn't happen all of the time just randomly. When it does happen and the phone comes back up the pic shows up in the gallery as corrupt.
Just did a factory reset last night and bought a new card. So far so good.
Nice to know all is good now
Will report back if problem reoccurs and especially if the new SD card somehow gets corrupted beyond repair again.
As the title says implies, I am having trouble writing data to my external SD card - both through the phone and while connected to a PC.
Background: Got the S4 about a week ago. It was on NK1. I rooted, de-bloated, and made back-up in SafeStrap. Discovered I had to run the KK SD Card fix, but was able to write to the SD card afterwards. Yesterday, while trying to copy a file to the SD card while connected to a PC resulted in a failure (Device stopped responding or was disconnected error). After that, the whole phone went wonky - Titanium, Root Explorer, File Manager, etc... wouldn't open and/or run properly after wards. Several reboots and the problem persisted.
Figured I would just restore my back-up. Well I screwed something up and got stuck in a boot-loop - I odined back to NC5 (figured I didn't need to be on NK1), and re-rooted. Setting my phone back up I realize I can't write to the SD card again. I run the SD Fix but to no avail. Opened Root Explorer and looked at platform.xml, which has all the correct permissions (as in this post).
What's going on and how do I fix this? The SD card is a pretty important feature for me. I can write to and copy to the internal storage either through the phone and while connected to a PC, but not the SD card. FWIW, the SD card works flawlessly in my old phone, so I know it;s not the card.
Going nuts here.
Thanks,
Edit - So playing around with another (lower capacity) SD card I find that everything works perfectly. When I get time this weekend I will have to reformat and/or get a new card. Strangely, the problem card still works good in my old phone. Very weird.
Turns out the sd card was/is bad. Found a great deal on a 64gb card and it's working great.
So now for more noob questions: What is the correct procedure for restoring and or flashing roms with safestrap? On my other phones I'm used to entering recovery (TWRP) and wiping data/cache/dalvik, formatting, doing a factory reset, etc, then flashing and or restoring.
When I attempted to restore my backup on my S4 (as described above), I wiped data, dalvik, & cache. After that I either did a factory reset or format (can't remember which), the phone automatically rebooted, and that is when I got stuck in the bootloop and couldn't enter safestrap recovery. I am interested in flashing Eclipse but would like to know the exact procedures to avoid losing the ability to enter safestrap.
Thanks for the advice.
Ok guys so i was faffing about with my tablet installing apps in the systsem directory (its rooted) so when i reset to factory they would still be there... all was good untill i installed to many and i got a message saying insuffient memory, and tablet, froze when rebooting its stuck on tab 4 loading screen..
i have an external memory and android recovery to work with as no pc recognizes this tablet, never have.
Things ive tried:
Wiping cache
resetting to factory
restarting tablet
installing a new rom
Tab 4 7.0 (kitkat)
What i think needs to be done... just not sure how to do it:
removing apps out the system directory or setting to default but im not sure how to do this with only android recovery that lets me update from external memory card?
£10 to who ever helps me solve this..
TWRP file manager .. you can remove files to gain space
Yesterday night, after experiencing a hard crash, I found myself with a softbricked 2016 Samsung Galaxy Tab A.
Earlier today, while attempting to get it working again, I did a factory reset and a firmware flash in that order. Yes, in retrospect, I could have saved a lot of trouble if I hadn't done that factory reset, but hindsight is 20/20 and I'd never dealt with an android issue like this.
Anyway, I got the tablet working again, but I've lost all my data, and worse, since my SD card was encrypted, I have no access to the files on there either. I figure the data on the internal storage is as good as gone, but just in case, I've kept the tablet off since then.
Is there any way I could potentially extract the encryption key from the memory of the main tablet, and use it to decrypt my SD card? The majority of my files were on there, and while I'm fine losing most of the stuff on the tablet itself, I'd really like to salvage the SD card. It has about 10 gigs worth of pictures and videos on it.
