Something strange is going on here. I've removed and re-seated the SD card but when the phone boots up it says theres a problem and SD will be read only. Settings->Phone/SD storage says read only. Dropbox won't download anything because it cant find the SD card. However, EStrongs File Explorer and Root Explorer say it is read/write.
I think this happened because yesterday I put the sd card in my computer and the SD adapter I use automatically goes to 'read only' with a tab on the side when you push it in. I had put some tape on it to prevent that but I suppose it got loose, so I can't modify my SD card till I get home and can fix it with the SD adapter. Unless someone knows of a way to do it in the phone....
Can somebody PLEASE take the time to let me know HOW TO Re-Mount my SD Card? Dont know what happened after the 2.1 Update but shows Unmounted and NEED TO Re-Mount...

From all the docs I've read, remount is supposed to toggle between read-write/read-only permissions.  But that doesn't seem to work in this case.  Any idea what's wrong?  Using Windows XP, emulator is running Android SDK 1.6 (with Google Maps APIs).
I have upgraded my phone's images to Android 1.5 images (from http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html) Now when I try commands like adb remount, chmod, adb push etc I get "Operation not permitted" and "Permission denied" errors 
I was able to give this command when I had 1.0 images flashed on my phone. 
Has something related to permissions changed with Android 1.5? 
I just got a new incredible (upgrade from eris) and I just rooted it using unrevoked.  I tried to use adb like I am used to doing with my eris but it seems I do not have root permission (although I do have super user app and its working from what I can tell).?
[root@studio ~]# adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
[root@studio ~]# adb shell
$ getprop ro.secure

How to remount /sdcard directory to read/write on emulator?
I read this:
http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/2009/01/mount-filesystem-read-write.html
But i don't know how to apply that to remount /sdcard directory in read-write mode?
I've got an Acer A200 that is running the leaked version of ICS 4.0.3
Utilizing saurik's mempodroid I am able to exploit the kernel (2.6.39.4+) and gain root, but I cannot remount /system. I've tried quite a few different mount commands and they all result in the same error "mount: Operation not permitted".Here are the mount commands I've tried:
Code:
remount rw
mount -o remount,rw '' /system
mount -o remount,rw /system
mount -o remount,rw -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /system
A regular mount command gives me this:
Code:
rootfs / rootfs ro,relatime 0 0
tmpfs /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid,relatime,mode=755 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0[code]......
Is there an app that does this or can it be done manually?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got an HTC Desire that was locked to Telus (Canadian Carrier). I have read that numerous people are using it on Rogers network. From the day I got it when I put my rogers sim card in (the right way) it said "No SIM card in phone" so I could not enter an unlock code. Thinking the SIM was defective went to Telus and tried one of their sim cards and it worked fine, then I went to Rogers thinking it was a problematic card. We tried 4 cards and none of them worked. I then went to Bell (another canadian carrier) and tried their sim card. It worked as well but said that the phone was locked. I purchased an unlock code from the internet which worked. Now the Bell sim card works as well becuase the phone is unlocked. I put my Rogers SIM back into it and it still sais "No SIM card in phone". I also tried a SIM from a european company and it did not work as well. This HTC Desire works on the same 3G 850/1900 GSM that Rogers uses.
View 7 Replies View RelatedFor some reason on my HTC desire, I cannot access my SD card. It says 'Blank SD card' in the notifications section. For this to happen on a phone is completely unacceptable. Before my SD card was rendered unusable, I used to get problems like whenever I try to take a photo, it would not allow me to because of an SD card issue. Restarting would solve that. That is also unacceptable. Where do I go from here? Have i lost all my data? What is to sat that this wont happen again?

Can you do so with the HTC Desire? Is there an App that will allow me to do this?
I have just used the instructions on this forum to first root my phone, and then install New 2.2 on to my desire. What a improvement in performance and Shockwave flash works. But I can't install on to my SD Card at all. If I download a app from the market (or my pc) which is set to install on extrenal storage (SD Card), it downloads and the installation fails. I also can't use APP 2 SD as when I try and copy to memory it fails. so if I then unmount my SD Card, and install the same app, it installs and works fine. So do I need to do something to my SD Card?

The phone works at first, plays the music etc all day long, but when i come to get out of the car and disconnect the USB from the phone, the desire comes up with: Preparing SD card then SD card damaged, you will need to format the SD card. I tried this again with a freshly formatted SD card and it does the same every time the phone is unplugged

View 20 Replies View Relatedalright, I have already rooted my HTC Desire and now i want to switch from an 8-gb sd card to a 16-gb one. I tried whatever way i could think of, but it just won't work. Does anyone know how to go about doing that?One way i think it would work is to unroot my phone and then re-root it with the new sd card, but i just don't know what version of rom to download in order to unroot the phone.I'd rather do it without going through unrooting process, but if that's then only way i could get my new sd card to work, it's ok.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've ordered a 16GB SD card to replace the 4GB SD card that T-Mobile supplied. Obviously, there are files already on the SD card, so what I intend to do is:
 
1) Connect the Desire to my PC and copy all the files to a temporary folder.
 
2) Disconnect the Desire.
 
3) Unmount the SD Card and turn the Desire off.
 
4) Remove the existing SD card.
 
5) Insert the new SD card.
 
6) Turn the Desire back on (not sure whether I need to mount the SD card again).
 
7) Connect the Desire to my PC.
 
8) Copy all the files from the temporary folder to the new SD card.
 
This makes sense, but I'm just concerned that it might mess up any applications before I've copied the files onto the new SD card. I don't have a card reader, so can't copy the files before inserting it.I've just read Upgrade sdcard howto - Android Forums and it seems to agree with my procedure.Does anybody have any other ideas? I don't want to break my lovely Desire.
I took the SD card from my nokia 5800 and used that in the desire from the start A. As it had all my pics and music on it , B. its an 8mb more than the 4 supplied with the phone. Now when I connect the phone to my pc via the usb it cant find the software and will only let me charge the phone via the usb. Do I need to be using the one supplied with the phone to get the best out of the phone then? And if so how do I get my pics and music from one to the other (my sd slot on the laptop doesn't accept micro sd).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI put a new 16GB SD card in my desire today. When i go to "Gallery" it now only shows the pics I've put on the card. With the previous SD card that came with it, when you went into gallery it listed the HTC pics as well. Any idea what this is? I thought I should format the card in the device but the "Format SD Card" option under settings> SD & phone storage is grey out. Any idea how i can format it in the device? I though if i did this it would work the same as the old card worked.

"The HTC Desire appears to have "limited memory capacity" of around 570Mb  RAM and 512Mb ROM.  The MicroSD card can hold up to 32Gb.  So, why can't you (HTC) allow apps be stored in MicroSD card?  If you or  Google are concerned about piracy issues, i.e. copies of apps from  microSD card to another microSD card, etc., there is one way round to  this problem.  You and/or Google could consider installing some kind of  unique crypto-key within the Desire's ROM (perhaps IMEI or Serial number  on each phone?), and any apps saved to the microSD card would be  automatically encrypted "on-the-fly" with this crypto-key.  When apps  are accessed, it is decrypted on-the-fly, as well.    In other words, apps will ONLY work with THAT phone as it shares the  SAME crypto-key.  Putting a microSD card containing apps into another  Android phone (even if it is of the same model) WOULD NOT WORK, thus  solving the piracy issue?  Therefore, would you PLEASE consider allowing apps to microSD card (as  much as 32Gb card) and BEAT iPhone/Nokia N900 at their own game!  Many thanks."
This is HTC's response (received today (6/April/2010):
"The reason that it is not possible to save applications to the SD  card is due to limitations in the  underlying Linux operating system in that it requires a filesystem  that supports Linux permissions  and FAT32 doesn't. The SD card is fomratted with FAT32 to provide  compatibility with as many  
platforms as possible. Thhis restriction is not due to us but rather  a limit that is imposed on  Android devices from all manufacturers.
