I flashed my nexus 4 today, wiped everything and then wanted to install cm from my sd card. But when tried it said: SD card cannot be mounted. When I try to adb sideload my computer tells me that there is no device found. I tried it with both CWM and TWRP and nothing worked.

I have a nexus 7, OTG cable, flash drive and stickmount installed. As an external storage device this works fine for movies, audio etc.I'm not experienced with android having only previously used it on my touchpad, and wondered if the following was possible.
Is there an app that can essentially clone the externally mounted USB drive so that when installing an app with a large data download i can choose to download the data to the externally mounted usb drive instead of the main device memory. An example, Spiderman has nearly 2GB of data and i would prefer to move it using an app rather than having to continuously move the data file from the root to the external USB using es file explorer.
I have a TF101g transformer. I just recently rooted it and installed Jelly bean with EOS-tf101-20130617-120.zip and gapps_4.2.2_TF101_20130323b.zip Everything seems to be working fine except with the notification area failing to show mounted sd, micro sd and usb drives. When they are inserted into the tablet I see in the notification area that the system is scanning the micro sd card but after it is mounted nothing is there. As a result it is difficult to unmount them except for going to settings and then storage device and then unmount them from there.
With Ice cream android, when I put in any sd cards, the notification area would have the sd cards listed. I could open it with a folder and browse it and I could unmount it also when finished with it.
What I must do to get the sd card listed in the notification area?
Recently I have flashed a custom stock rom of my nextbook 8 se. I'm enjoying it, but I have ran into some issues. When I flashed it I can't download very many things, because it tells me to use an external sd card(which only has 2gb of space). I want to access the internal sd card i already have, but I don't know how.
P.S. I don't have any backup, because I flashed a stock rom due to my tablet being bricked.
sometimes, at least once a day my phone wont read my pictures or music files. it says "sd card is not mounted or sd card is busy". the phone is fine. the phone will ring with my own ringtone from my music and i can view my pictures, then all of a sudden it will play the default ringtone. i go to check and it says sd card is not mounted or busy. the sd card is in there. i have to take it out and put it back in to fix it. this fixes it for maybe a day.

View 41 Replies View RelatedCan an Activity still have read/write access to an SD card after it has been mounted to USB storage (connecting USB and selecting Mount from the resulting notification screen). In other words, does mounting the SD card lock out system access until USB is disconnected.

View 6 Replies View RelatedWell I have a problem and need some help. So for no apparent reason I started getting an error with my sd card last night. At the notification bar, it says the sd card is mounted as read only. The phone gives me the option to try to fix it. It tries without success. I have tried resetting the phone and fidgeting with the card...both with no success. Its frustrating cause I can't take pictures as a result and all I see is that error message! Its an eyesore at the top of my screen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been running Cyanogen 5.0.5 since yesterday. I always jump back and forth between DM Updater and Clockwork depending on what recovery I need to flash a particular rom, update or kernel. Today I cranked up DM Updater expecting it to ask if I want to update recovery and I am getting a "Your SD card is not mounted" error. My SD card is fine. Just for giggles I went into my clockwork recovery and unmounted and remounted. ROM Manager reports no errors. I am at work so I can't install SB Recovery using my current PC using adb as I normally would. I guess the ROM I want to play with (SB Recovery format) will have to wait.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHaving a new and strange SD card problem.
Was using Astro to browse my SD card to try to open a QuickOffice word file. Got to the folder where the file was located, but then suddenly, Astro closed and returned me to my home screen. Also, got a message on my notification bar that said "Mounted ReadOnly. The SD card has an unexpected problem. Tapping (sic) to recover it."
Ok, well, I tapped where it said to tap and the message went away. Back in to Astro to browse the file and...same result.
Went into Settings and Unmounted the SD card, then remounted it. Back in to Astro to browse the file and...same result!
So now I'm concerned. Used "Gallery" to browse pictures that are on my SD card...no problem. Used QuickOffice to manually open the file I was looking for in the first place...no problem. It seems that only when I go to Astro and browse does this problem occur. BTW, I also tried using Estrong File Explorer and had the same result, so I don't think it's an app thing.
Only thing I've not yet tried is going in to Clockwork Mod and unmounting/remounting SD card. Funny thing is that all my files appear intact, it just seems that for some reason, phone all of a sudden decides that the SD card is mounted "read only" (whatever that means) and is kicking me out. Dunno that I like that but...oh well.
Rooted DINC with Clockwork Mod, stock ROM, no major root apps except SetCPU.
I'm quite new to Android and the Captivate (but not new to operating systems). I ran into an issue that I can't yet figure out, but I wonder if other people have also encountered. With some USB chargers (notably Blackberry chargers), I've noticed that the USB data connection prompt comes up. Regardless of the setting I choose (including canceling the dialog), the internal SD card is unmounted. If I disconnect the USB cable, the internal SD card is STILL unmounted and I don't get an option in the UI to mount it again. I end up having to reboot the phone. Attached is a screen shot of the SD card status screen when this issue occurs. So, what would be a good way to troubleshoot this? Get dmesg output, perhaps?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm working on an Android application that needs to look at what images a user has stored. The problem is that if the user has the sdcard mounted via the USB cable, I can't read the list of images on the disk. Does anyone know of a way to tell if the usb is mounted so that I could just pop up a message informing the user that it won't work?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAnytime my phone tries to do anything that might access the SD card, I get a notification that the card encountered an unexpected problem and was mounted as read-only. After a few searches, it seemed that unmounting and reformatting it might solve the problem. If that didn't help, erasing all phone data might fix the problem. Well, I wasn't able to unmount the SD card for some reason. That option wasn't ghosted out, but clicking on it didn't do anything. Eventually, I decided to just do the factory reset. Then I did a phone storage format.
After that I saw a tip that perhaps removing the card would help. What I did was remove it, booted the phone, and inserted it while it was on. This allowed me to unmount then format the SD card. The first thing I did was try to redownload some apps from the market. First on my list was google maps update. Immediately after clicking to download, I get the same notification that the SD card was mounted as read only as a result of an unexpected error. Given all this, is my card just junk after updating to froyo?
I've noticed a special ringtone that is used when your SD card is mounted to your PC. I like it, and would like to use it for my default ringtone, but it doesn't seem to be an option, nor can I find it anywhere in the file system. Also, when I asked the folks at HTC where the file was located, they conveniently dodged my question and and told me how to add new ringtones to my SD card. (not surprised).

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've currently got a Bell Samsung I7500, I flashed I7500XEJC6 onto it with Odin (using this site http://mauweb.net/3.0/en/technology/17-android/99-icon-androidsamsung-galaxy-i7500-upgrade-1634.html) and was able to get it from being in some foreign language into english again.
But now it loads up with SIM Network Unlock PIN, when I have a Bell Sim card in. I can either enter the pin, or dismiss the message.
If I dismiss it won't read the SIM card and therefore has no signal. I was able to get the WIFI to work, and got into the marketplace. I had already downloaded Drakaz's updating software, but there was problems with that before I flashed the Baseband. I took a picture of the problem with the Galoxo system running (I went back to it to see if that would help) for reference.
Now I can't seem to find any way to get around this. I asked Bell if they could give me a code to lock it to to their Network. When I called them they tried numerous codes but none worked. They said after it loaded without the SIM card in without that message, that I needed a new SIM card. A new SIM card however didn't work. Same message.
I tried getting a company online to get me an unlock code, but their answer was that "There are so many mobile out there sometimes the firmware on certain versions mean I can't generate the code. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable."
I have been issued with a new credit card after my old one was lost but i have no idea how to update it on my nexus 7.

So I just bought a HTC Nexus Ones as my new Android phone. I've been preparing for this new phone, such as knowing that it's old, I'm going to flash a custom JellyBean ROM to it, ect. Anyways, I've been reading that you cannot install applications to the SD card of a Nexus One, only to the very small 512mb internal memory. I'm wondering what I need to do to be able to install all the apps and games I download and install to the SD card, so I do not run out of space.
View 3 Replies View RelatedBought a nexus 5 and cut and pasted 6 lecture recordings from my old GS3 to my nexus 5. Rooted the nexus 5 and deleted (accidentally) all the recordings. Is there any data recovery program or tool that I can use to retrieve them?
So, ctrl+x from gs3 ext memory card to ctrl+p onto nexus 5 internal storage. Wiped nexus 5 and now can't be found anywhere.
These recordings are extremely important (I know I lost them, I dont know what I was thinking)...
When I boot up my Nexus One, it takes <Sandlot>FOR-EVV-ERRR</Sandlot> to mount my SD card. I've got most of my apps on that card, so it's super annoying!
Like I've said, I've got a bunch of apps (40?) loaded on to this card, a few documents, 4 CDs... random stuff. I haven't formatted the card in a looong time... nor have I wiped the phone in a loooong time. I am a crackflasher - I flash a new ROM every day, but I VERY RARELY have issues, so that's why I haven't wiped in so long. I would be happy to just mount the SD manually through the terminal when I need it to.
The phone is a Nexus One. I'm running a CM7.1(or whatever it is) based ROM and kernel. The SD card is the 16gig one that came with the phone.
What's the terminal command to mount the SD card to the phone? So the ROM can access it?
I have been trying to gain root on a Android 4.0.4 device and was able to, but I can't seem to keep system rw long term.
I run the following command
mount -o remount,rw /system
or
adb remount (from a PC)
the mount command will then show that system is in rw mode. However, if I attempt to copy any data into /system, the first file copy fails and the system then reports read only. To make things even more odd, commands like chmod on a file in /system work just fine.
It seems to me that there is something that detects something writing to /system, and then forces the mount back to ro.
