cannot access internal or external storage

Thanks guys, I have been booting without external memory, with problems still the same. So, cannot be problem with external SD.

The internal SD card is not accessed properly. When I go to settings>Apps>All, the line at bottom shows Internal storage 4.1 MB used, 798MB free. (I have uninstalled most apps to see if that helped – it did not.) So, something is accessing the internal SD, also apps are running which must be off the internal SD.

I do not know what a terminal app is, Urilabob. I have downloaded it but what do I do with it?

At: app_48@android:/ $ I keyed in # mount [enter] , making:

app_48@android:/ $ # mount [enter]

But nothing happened, just another line of: app_48@android:/ $

Also, what is fast boot mode – this is not the same as sleep mode? This is all new to me. Appreciate your help.

My laptop is Windows 7.

Sorry, I replied earlier but it seems I messed up so the reply didn't appear.

My problem is I know unix fairly well, and android is very similar, so I forget what is the same and what's different. Sorry, the command you need in the terminal is "df". That will show you a list of what partitions are mounted on your system. I'm guessing you're going to see /system, but not /mnt/sdcard. Why, I don't know. It's possible that the sdcard partition has got corrupted - but suspicious that the external card is also having problems. Is it possible that either the tablet or your pc crashed while you were copying files between them? Or that you disconnected the cable between them before telling the tablet to go out of connected mode? Either of those could explain corrupted partitions. Unfortunately fixing them may not be easy.

There are three different ways to connect your tablet to a computer. One is so it looks like external disks. I got the impression you already discovered this, and that it has now stopped working. The other two require you to install (parts of) the android development system on your computer. The simplest one is adb mode. Please google it to see how to use it. This might give you a chance to check the state of your partitions. The other is in fastboot mode. Fastboot mode is an alternative way of starting your computer, that goes into a fairly bulletproof, but very simple, mode that allows you to do various things on your tablet (it gives you very low level access to the tablet - powerful but dangerous). I'm pretty sure it will still be working. How you get into fastboot mode depends on your tablet; you'll need to google it. And how you access it in fastboot mode is fairly different on windows. So I'm not the best adviser. But please be careful - it's easy to brick the tablet in fastboot mode, you need to make sure you completely understand any steps you might take, especially any that might write to the tablet (of course, reading from it is safe). And of course the simplest alternative is simply to completely reinstall the tablet (sorry, I forget the android term for this). That should restore things OK, but it will mean you lose all your data and will have to reinstall all your applications.

cannot access internal or external storage

Thanks, Urilabob. The command df had an effect!

Shows Filesystem with figures for Size, Used, Free, and Blksize (4096), next to each of the following:

/dev, /mnt/asec, /mnt/obb, /system, /data, and /cache. The figures are all different except Blksize.

/mnt/sdcard is not shown.

Does this tell you anything useful?

I have never been able to access the tablet from my laptop with Windows 7. My son’s laptop has an earlier Windows, so I checked today and found that his Windows Explorer finds the tablet (as 2 disks, A and F) and asks “Please insert a disk into Removable Disk H:” (and same for F:).

By the way, this problem started when I downloaded the (automatic) firmware update direct to the tablet, not via laptop. But the wifi signal was weak, and files may have been corrupted. I have since downloaded the complete, latest firmware to the laptop (with strong wifi signal), but do not know how to get it into the tablet!

Have not yet done anything on adb or fastboot modes. Will Google adb tonight.

Not worried about losing data or apps.

Thanks again, Brian.
[General Topics] SacTappingUni:
I'm guessing that your tablet is rooted? If so, do you have an app like superuser? I remember having to go through some options to give my file explorers access to my SD card. You may have accidentally set you SD card to be off-limits or something. If you haven't already done it, see if giving an app like ES File Explorer superuser access will help.

Also see if you can enable USB debugging. For my nook color, I have to enable in order to access usb mass storage for one of my memory units. See if you can access your internal SD card content through USB debugging.
[General Topics] Brian44:
cannot access internal or external storage

Thanks for your thoughts. My tablet is not rooted. And I cannot enable USB debugging, because Settings freezes when I tap Developer Options to get to USB debug. I am just learning about Android - seems to be 2 partitions on the internal storage, one about 2.6GB with apps and other things on (which is accessible), and the other partition must be about 13GB, but has not been accessible since the automatic firmware update.
[General Topics] MissionImprobable:
Sounds like the update caused you issues. If you have everything backed up with your Google account I recommend that you do a factory data reset and see if that fixes your issue.
[General Topics] Brian44:
cannot access internal or external storage

Factory reset would be great, if it worked, but it does not function.
[General Topics] urilabob:
Can you exchange the device?

OK, so from your df listing, it's clear that sdcard is not getting mounted. That's a pretty low-level function that is failing. The fact that factory reset also doesn't work suggests (doesn't prove) that the sdcard partition at least has a corrupted filesystem, and quite possibly the partition itself has been corrupted. Could a spotty OTA update do that? I'm surprised - I would have thought they would use fairly high level functions for OTA updates, precisely because any drop-out could cause corruption if you use low-level disk access. But who knows - the mysteries of google? Another possibility is that the sdcard is physically bad, and maybe the update just caused you to get into the bad region (with the dynamic memory mapping in flash memory, once something goes wrong it's almost impossible to figure out what). At this point, I'd be going back to the distributor if possible (you said it was new, right)? I think even if you were an android guru, and knew exactly how to do a complete rebuild from scratch, you would be risking that the device itself is faulty - and that the rebuild would mean you couldn't prove that the device was at fault (rather than your rebuild)...

Best Wishes

[General Topics] Brian44:

Thanks, Bob for all your help. This seems like the end of the line with this tablet. I expected this might be the case, and emailed DinoDirect two days ago for a refund, as I am heading overseas next week and want to resolve the matter before I go. They responded that "we will contact our related department to process your case priority". I have been aware that any actions I might take could invalidate the warranty, and this has inhibited me a bit. I will forward your latest comments in support of my refund claim.

I learned some basics of Android from all this!

Good wishes, great talking to you.

Got the same issue in Huawei Ascend P-7, I just switched off the mobile, removed the SD card and turned it back on after 5 minutes ....... and that was it, all issues resolved. Just the thing was that once SD card was re-inserted, problem came up again. So i have decided to copy SD card data to PC via Card Reader and format it or get new SD card

Hey all.

I want to ask you. Why does CM9 have no features like Mobile Bravia Engine or xLoud on my SE LwW? These features are great, but I can't find them on CM9, only on other custom ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] devwithzachary:
Because they are either not open source or part of stock android. Or require frameqork specific to your device

[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
You can remove it, or replace it, but your phone won't boot faster

You'll need to root your phone and then you can flash new splash screen and startup animations

Hello,

I'm new here. I'm not sure, if i'm on the right place. But hopefully someone can help me...

I've have a SGS2. I installed GO launcher, with GO Contacts...

The strange thing is, my facebook contacts won't show up in GO Contacts. However in the normal original contact application of my phone, they show up, no problem. Some are merged with my gmail contacts, some are not merged...

Does any know why it will show up in the original contact application and not in GO Contacts?

Here my configuration:

- in my settings of syncronisation: facebook contact are auto synced.

- settings of GO Contacts EX => Checkbox of "Show Facebook contacts" is checked.

Did i forgot something?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] megelizabeth:

This is a mod I'll be looking into next. In theory you can put any app in the drop-down screen or even the statusbar. But I'm not too sure how. The code for the settings menu and for the recent apps are very different..

Hope you figure out a way to do it:fingers-crossed:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Ticklefish:
This is proving complicated. I don't think it's something we can do just in the xml, I think we need to edit the original java files as well. Which could be fun since we don't have the original java files.

I think I've found a way to put the media controls in the expanded status bar and possibly the actual status bar itself...but I'll take a look at that later. I want to get this mod figured out first.

It was fine for a couple of months but now my Kindle Fire cannot connect to wifi. Tried for home and office spots - open and password protected security options.

Nothing helps. Tried: factory reset for tablet and router, off\on both and PC, rooting, installing CM9, installing modified 6.3.1.

What I'm going to try: use static IP (but even if it would work for home, I still want to be able to connect to other spots), use some official rom older than 6.3.1 (I'm not sure but maybe the issue appeared after 6.3.1 was flashed automatically by amazon).

Amazon support proposed to replace my kindle, but I'm not in US so it's not a trivial thing and I'm still trying to resolve it by myself.

hello folks,

below i'm posting a tutorial to gain complete warranty of WFS with complete stock(rom+recovery+BL)

SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

REQUIREMENTS:-

HTC Wildfire S a510e(unlocked + custom recovery+root)

RUU of your carrier or region (IMPORTANT)

battery more than 50%

sd card

TUT:-

1> Download BLtool { http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1530864 } copy into root of sd-card

2>Boot into cwm recovery and then browse for above downloaded file & then install it, set it first to superversion and again to relocked mode

3>Flash appropriate RUU of your region and the process should go without any problems***.

***IF AN ERROR OCCURS IN 3rd STEP THEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE ROM.ZIP (temporary files) to PG76IMG.ZIP & CREATE A GOLDDCARD
