Flashfire made stickmount stop working!

Flashfire made stickmount stop working!

Nexus 9 - Lineage OS 14.1 (7.1.2) - SuperSU v2.82-SR3 (not SBIN mode).

After using Flashfire to backup my device, I can no longer access USB storage (with stickmount), as others report a zero size file in UsbStorage location. Solid Explorer and another file explorer would not give access. Tried other sticks with same problem.

Drives can be still access with inbuilt OTG support, Flashfire, TiBu and TWRP all see the drives.

I also downgraded my vendor image (around the same time), because I was using the latest, but rom required the prior version.

Tried various solution of wiping cache of the apps and the device itself.

Any solution available?

Edit: - Found a solution for CM14/LOS14.1 doesn't resolve the stickmount issue. But make the need for it redundant!

Same here. Nexus 5x Android 8.0. Found another app in Play Store (called USB plugin for total commander or something I don't remember) can do the job but it won't create a dir so still I can't operate from file manager. I don't know what difference were made from previous Android versions to 8, but I guess maybe this classic and must-have app should do an update.

I used to use StickMount for NTFS file storage.

I reformatted my HDD to FAT32 using a free utility and now Android 6 through 8 will natively mount the drive without root or the need of 3rd party apps. Plus it mounts faster and with less issues.

I've used stickmount PRO for a while without any issues.

However, suddenly it wasn't able to unmount the usb anymore. I then took the usb out of my device, but the mounts were still there after reboot. I also went and unmounted my sdcard (just to be sure nothing would go wrong) before I tried to cleanup the redundant mounts.

I cleaned the mounts, but whoops! It also helped me wipe my entire internal storage. How is this possible?

I'm on a Galaxy S8+ (supported custom kernel)

Thanks in advance

Cannot remove folder usbStorage/sda1

Hello and sorry to have to bother your with this. I am normally able to figure these things out on my own.

I installed this app on my Android 5.1.1 TV computer and it seemed to work as advertised. However, the machine really, really slowed down. I cannot say for sure this was due to the app but it seemed so. Therefore I uninstalled the app. However, I appear to have the folder /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 still hanging around and I simply cannot find a way to remove it. I am, of course, rooted but nothing I can do seems to do the trick. Any suggestion on what I have done wrong here?

Thanks for all.

Edit - found the solution myself. Rebooted into recovery and the TWRP terminal allowed me to remove /sdcard/usbStorage and sda1.

[Android Apps and Games] MasterSheea:
Hello.

Since I formatted my smartphone, stickmount does not work anymore.

The stick NTSF is correctly mounted, but the folder is empty.

When I start the app tries to download additional files, but is not possible to download: "a fatal error occurred, make sure you have an internet connection"... But I am connected to internet!

I have tried to put the additional zip files in the SD card, but nothing changes.

Tried even to delete cache and dalvik cache.

Perhaps someone helps, please?

Thank you in advance.

Greetings.

[Android Apps and Games] haerwu:
Any other tool of that kind? Or should I reformat external hdd to vfat and say goodbye to >4GB files?

StickMount uses 'umask=0' argument when mounts ext4 which results in kernel refusing to mount ext4 hdd.

Edit: Used apktool, hacked StickMount to not use umask/dmask/fmask for ext2/3/4 filesystems.

Time to learn smali as Pro version is not compatible with device I want to run it ;(

Same issue here also. I was wondering if there was a way that the music app can read the mp3's on the mem stick. That way i can just use mem sticks for my music so i dont worry about having to upload them to my phone over and over with every full wipe i do. That would make this complete. Sucks that I can only access them thru root explorer only and having to always turn my screen on and manually pick the next song after each song. So far this app is good and useful. Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] MontAlbert:
So is it a rom thing or a kernel issue? Mine won't even mount anymore... AOKP 25 and Franco 18.4

My main thing for getting the cable n such was to be able to use sd's for my music. Which is a ton. Instead of having to put the music in my phone over n over after each full wipe. That takes way too much time. Or am I the only one having this problem. Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated

Same problem in AOKP b27....
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Sorry I haven't really been following, I was on vacation for quite a while. Also, I only have VFAT sticks myself, and only like two of them.

Now, from what I understand we have three major problems:

(1) characters that do not work (codepage ?)

(2) mounts that are not unmounted

(3) normal storage that is unmounted

Some comments:

(1) There needs to be some mount settings, I would be happy to hear suggestions from those who have a clue which mount options to add

(2) I'm pretty sure this is because the system still has files open ? Or is there any reason to believe this is not the case ?

(3) What is the normal mount location for this storage ?

For all problems, please include information regarding which device and setup you are using.

Galaxy Nexus has internal storage mounted as /sdcard.

Sent from The Past into The Future via The Present. :)
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
Which is symlinked to /mnt/sdcard, which is the mount point for /dev/fuse (at least on AOKP).
[Android Apps and Games] efrant:
/data/media is what it is symlinked to on the GN.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
If you have the "remove USB stick and SD card gets unmounted" problem, please do the following:

Without USB stick:

adb shell mount
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/*

Then with USB stick mounted (same commands):

adb shell mount
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/*

Then after issueing unmount command (same commands again):

adb shell mount
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/*

And finally after pulling the USB stick (again!)

adb shell mount
adb shell ls -l /dev/block/*

Maybe that'll give me some hints :)
[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
Interesting. I don't see that symlink anywhere. I only see /sdcard --> /mnt/sdcard, and mount shows /dev/fuse --> /mnt/sdcard

I'll give it a go and report back in a few.

Here's what I've got (I think): http://pastebin.com/dwEDP3di
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I would like to add however, that I cannot replicate (2) and (3) on official firmwares ... so the problem is probably with the ROMs used.

Also, re: /data/media, it depends on firmware whether it shows as symlink or if this is hidden from you ... it's something you just "have to know" :)
[Android Apps and Games] Rakinos:
I would love an option to specify mountpoint path. That way I could specify a path that the stock music app could see.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
The partitions, or the files (first partition) ?

In other words, say:

/sdcard/music/myfolder (first partition only)

or

/sdcard/music/myfolder/sda1

/sdcard/music/myfolder/sda2

/sdcard/music/myfolder/sdb

...

I am releasing an update soon, so ...

EDIT: I think music uses media scanner though ? That might pose a problem.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I don't think that went well, as all the 4 outputs are exactly the same, which is impossible :)
[Android Apps and Games] droidsrus:

[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
Sorry bout that... we were getting a bit of weather here and I was distracted with my Wx nerd side :p

Tried to do it again, but got yet another different behavior lol.

http://pastebin.com/m2QKWrnp

I should note that with this thumbdrive I have to effectively mount it twice - once to mount "sda", and again to mount "sda1" so I can actually see the data on it. This time I verified that I could see the data through a file manager.

When I went to unmount, I could only get it to unmount once. It released sda1, but held on to sda this time - even after unplugging the drive.

---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 PM ----------

And this one behaved like I have become used to.

http://pastebin.com/uikz7uNR

StickMount doesn't Toast that sda has been unmounted (no matter how many times I press Unmount) until the stick is unplugged. Then Android freaks out about USB storage being removed, but I can still access /mnt/sdcard through terminal and file managers.
[Android Apps and Games] Rakinos:
Honestly, I would be fine with either setup, as I don't think the nesting matters to the media players.

As far as the media scanner is concerned, I found https://market.android.com/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner&hl=en

Which lead me to this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7629640&postcount=13

So a checkbox to optionally fire this off on mount would be wonderful.
[Android Apps and Games] myd0n0se:
Tnkss
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Re: music, media scanning etc, I'm thinking of doing this completely differently.

How about, on your USB stick root, you place a file called "\.media". You simply put the folder you want the stick mounted in there on the first (and only) line, like "/sdcard/music/usb". If this file is present, StickMount will mount as normal, symlink to that location, and start the media scanner. If the file is not present, nothing happens. If the file is empty, media scanner is run on the original mount location.

I'm just thinking out loud here. While this would need you to make a file on your stick rather than use configuration, the advantage is that you do it once per USB stick you want to use like this, instead of it always happening (or never happening).
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Interesting stuff. Some things stand out.

For example, that even though StickMount doesn't say sda is unmounted, it does seem to be unmounted, which is weird.

Also regarding the multi-mount to mount all partitions. I thinnk this could be a timing issue. From your logs it does appear that sda shows up quite a bit earlier than sda1.

I still have no idea whatsoever what causes your internal SD card to unmount. I still think that's a firmware issue (well actually all these things appear to be firmware issues, but the others maybe can be fixed).

Uninstall StickMount, reboot. Make sure no USB stick is conneted. Connect wirelessly to ADB, then keep executing this command:

adb shell ls -l /dev/block/sd*

while plugging in the stick... Keep at it for 10 seconds or so and watch the results. I think sda will show up maybe a second before sda1. If not, please try the whole thing a few more times to make sure.

This sort of stuff is quickly solvable if you can reproduce the problem, unfortunately it's hell to fix if you can't (and I can't!)
[Android Apps and Games] Rakinos:
What about having a .stickmount file that get written to the root of the drive that stores any drive specific settings? (kind of like an autorun.ini). Ideally this could be edited by hand or within the application itself.

You could have:

mountpoint="/sdcard/mylexar" (not sure how you would handle this particular one without mounting first)

music="my_music_folder"

photos="my_photo_folder"

videos="my_video_folder"

on_mount="mx video player" (app auto launch)

How are symlinks going to work with fat32 storage?

Sandisk 16GB Cruzer mounts as read-only

Firstly, thanks to the developer for an excellent and reliable application. I've been able to use it with card readers, external HDD's and memory sticks.

The only problem I am having is occurring with multiple Sandisk 16GB Cruzer's (formatted as FAT32). They all mount in read-only. Have tried Drive Mount, USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG etc. with the exact same result.

I'm using a stock rooted Xoom (Android 4.03) using the rogue kernel (v2.02). Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] :

[Android Apps and Games] codesplice:
Finally got a chance to test this out. Without StickMount installed, only sda gets detected. The sda1 partition doesn't show up when I "ls -l /dev/block/sd*" at all, even when I kept at it for 60 seconds.

Interesting note: when I unplugged the stick after the test, Android gave the "USB storage removed" error again (so that is indeed unrelated to StickMount). While it's "removed" the camera app refuses to take a picture, but I can still browse the Gallery. Android seems confused :-D

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
v1.3 released !

StickMount has been updated to v1.3.

Unfortunately, the mount locations and media scanner stuff has not made it in there this version, but the release was getting so delayed I rather release it now without than wait until I have the time to implement it.

By many requests I have added options to use UTF-8 or a custom codepage as mounting options. Note that that will fail unless the stick actually uses that codepage and/or charset. StickMount will then fall back to the default mount options! I have been informed that for example to mount Japanese sticks, you would use codepage 932, and the UTF-8 option enabled.
