Out of the blue sky, every time I try to copy and paste a file from one folder to another, I get an error message that says the following:
"Cannot copy (file name here), access is denied. Be certain that there is enough free storage memory, that the destination is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use". I have double checked ALL of the above possible causes of error and NONE of them apply. There is more than enough storage space, there is more than enough free storage memory, and as far as I know, there is no way to actually SET write protection on WM 6.5. I've checked the SD card, and the little switch on the side is NOT set in the "locked" position. Anybody know how to fix this so I can copy and paste files again? The phone I'm using is Siemens SX66 and I'm using WM 6.5, build 212202.
ok, there are several ways to deal with that, the first thing to try is another file manager:
TotalCommander Download (Mirror)
if that shows the same error message, it is not the program, but actually the storage. in that case, try a different sd card or, if it happens in the internal storage as well, try a hard reset or a re-flash, maybe a newer rom would also be nice.

Hello all,
I've written a watchdog that allows to catch a moment when the storage card is corrupted and softreset before the driver flushes FAT and root folder.
More details are here:

I hope this will help you.
Any feedback is welcome.
I'm online with MSN [email protected] (also it is my email)
BTW, it doesn't matter what brand and size of the storage card is.
I have Kingston 1GB, and _it happens.
Thankyou for your work, Nikolay. It is apreciated.
I have had the software installed for a couple of days, and all is well.
Same here Nickolay, I have already posted a reply to your post at Spb Club forum.
I have your piece of code installed for few days and haven't seen the red icon, yet. Hope never will. Tnx .... as your code can save some nerves
I have tried your program but it keeps throwing up a corruption warning saying that there is an empty directory - Program Files on the storage card (which there is - I guess it is empty because I have no apps installed on the card)
Any suggestions?

Does anyone know the workaround with the WM5torage program?.....everytime i launch this app the SD-Sentry red icon appears saying that there is a corruption but when i check the storage card its fine.......thanks in advance
WM5torage disables the storage card for the orbit as long as it is active. During that time it is only accessible by the PC. Other programs like Tomtom do not work, because they can't find their data on the card. So does SDsentry.
Dear programmer,
your program seems to be a fine PlugIn for the XDA-Error with destroyed directorys oon the SD-Card.
Unfortunately your program is working in english devices only as it seems.
In german devices where the storage card is named "Speicherkarte" from the german WM5 your program will creating a new folder named "storage card" where it puts its check-files SdSentry.txt into each existing directory. No SdSentry.txt-file in any Dirs on the storage card.
In the dialogwindow of SdSentry the storage card is names "Speicherkarte".
The real storage card is not recogniced and protected in this way, as I assume.
Or did I something wrong?
Will you program a german version of SdSentry too?
I would be very glad about.
because of the described problem, I wrote a mail to the programer of SdSentry.
A solution was coming back immediately, how to install SdSentry im devices with other WM5-languages than english.
The program has a little bug to find the real storage card and creates instead a directory named "storage card" in the root of the device, that contains two directorys named "My Documents" and "Programme". In each of this three folders SdSentry creates a txt-file "SdSentry.txt" for verifiing the directury-structure for accessibility later.
For getting SdSentry working on german devices (analog other languages), copy following files:
\\storage card\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte(or however the name of your real storage card is)\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\My Documents\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\My Documents\SdSentry.txt
\\storage card\Programme\SdSentry.txt to \\Speicherkarte\Programme\SdSentry.txt
After copying the three files, you can delete the folder \\storage card with its subdirs "My Documents" and "Programme"
Since I've did this modifications, SdSentry seems to work well on my german-XDA Orbit.
Hoping it avoids more crashs of my SD-Card.
What a fun sitting in the car and loosing Navi, adresses and all tasks for today out of the HTC. May driving back to office and reinstalling the device.
I won't count how much time cause of this this worthless phone I had loosen last weeks.
heyy i really need you'e help, im trying to fet to the bootloader id the diamond but i always end's up in the rgb screen, so please tell me what to do...
From the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Diamond_FlashfIS
I have a similar problem. But mine is looking for movihand.mtg file then it goes to loading screen and it hangs. I wanted to flash the Deepshining 8 lite also.
I have a lot of files in my internal storage do i need to clear them and leave only the DIAMING.nbh thanks
i have spl 1.40 also thanks
Hope I can help!
Hey! First to 'avior.almo' You need to make sure you have flashed HardSPL to your device before trying to flash ANY ROM to your device (cooked, or custom, or otherwise!) If you are unsure of what I mean, or have any trouble, see sticky threads #2 and #4 of 'Diamond ROM development' http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430 (I use HardSPL Olinex 1.40)
Once you have this all in place, then flashing from the SD card is easy; you simply need to download the ROM you wish to flash, extract it (if it's downloaded as a .zip or .rar file) so you can find an '.nbh' file. The '.nbh' file is the ROM itself, and the file that you wish to flash. Once you have extracted the ROM you wish to flash (if you needed to extract at all. You may have downloaded the .nbh file as it is) then whatever the .nbh file name is, you need to rename the .nbh file to 'DIAMIMG.nbh' (without quotation marks).
Once you have done that, you need to copy it to your device's internal memory. To do this, connect your Diamond via USB, and when asked on your device screen, choose the 'Disk Drive' type of connection. Once complete, you can then navigate to the root of your (SD card) Internal Storage by accessing 'My Computer' through Windows explorer, Your device drive letter may be different depending on how many hard disks/CD drives you have in your system. (Mine is drive E Anyway, access your internal storage drive, whatever letter it may be on your system. It will appear under 'Drives with removable storage'. This is where you need to copy the 'DIAMIMG.nbh' file to. (To rdelsol: No, you don't need to clear your internal storage of any files or folders, as long as you have enough space in your internal storage to paste the ROM (.nbh file) that you wish to flash, in the root directory. E.g. 'E:' drive. It can be in there along with your 'program files' folder, or your 'my pictures' or 'my videos' folders. Flashing shouldn't delete any files or folders you have in your internal storage either. Even after flashing, 'DIAMIMG.nbh' should also still be there! (After flashing, you can delete that file)) And I noticed that in your post, you typed 'DIAMING.nbh' whether that was just a typo or not, I don't know, but it needs to be 'DIAMIMG.nbh', if so, that may be where you're going wrong.
So, now that we have the ROM image file in the root directory of your internal storage, you need to enter your device into bootloader mode, which is achieved by (while the device is on) holding down the 'VolDown' and 'back' (<-) buttons, while pressing the little red reset button (under the battery cover). Keep hold of the voldown and back buttons until your device displays the tri-colour screen. The instructions are then shown on-screen of what to do next (PROVIDING YOU HAVE HARDSPL INSTALLED, see beginning of post). Your device should detect the ROM image file (saved as DIAMIMG.nbh) and prompt you to press the power button to begin the flash. All going well, your device will display a progress bar, that when reaches 100% will say 'Update Success'
Now you need to press the red reset button again. After that, your device should begin setup of the new ROM as if it had just been bought. Alignment of screen, and maybe time and date setup, for example. Good luck with flashing and setup!
I have done many internal flashing, but today I tried again installing a new custom rom. Strange thing is that the bootloader says that it can´t find any image file and then quits to boot loader screen. I´ve tryied renaming the file using caps and without caps, and also with old radio in order to just test the flashing capability of the internal memory. No luck.
The phone did flash the same image from customruu. Now i´m thinking that it has to do with my messing with the internal memory for partitioning an ext2 and running (badly) android.
I realocated the ext2 partition and made the fat32 the whole internal memory. i´m not sure if i need to re-format the memory throught linux...
Any ideas why I can´t seem to run the internal flashing anymore?
So, I rooted my phone last night, and now I'm running into some slight "permission denied" issues.
In particular:
"File Access Problem Caution, unable to write files. This means your game progress can't be saved! Reason: Access to the path "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.imangi.templerun/files/spaceholder.dat" is denied."
So, I jump onto the phone with adb shell, su, head down to that directory, and can't see anything wrong with permissions. However, I *also* can't create a file in there from the command line...
sh: cannot create test: Permission denied
any thoughts on how to fix this?
Thanks.

Ouch
actually, its even worse...
I can't take pictures...it seems the camera app doesn't have "write" permissions to the DCIM folder, or something.
If I go to the folder, and rename it DCIMold, then take a photo, the new DCIM folder gets created, and the photo is fine...
but there are *NO* differences in file permissions between DCIMold and DCIM.
Anyone?

Same problem
Hello. I have a problem with my motorola defy+ running on gb 2.3.6 and is not ROOTED. Still he has an annoyng problem. After installing an aplication (not from the market) i saw that it didn't save data on the sd card. I uninstalled it and after a data factory reset i install apps such as temple run and Brother in Arms 2. At temple run it gave me this mesage
"File Access Problem Caution, unable to write files. This means your game progress can't be saved! Reason: Access to the path "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.imangi.templerun/files/spaceholder.dat" is denied."
Also at Brother in Arms 2 the game didn't save. I rest the phone abouat 7-8 times.I changed the sd card. Note that the card was a 16 gb kingmax class 6 and put the 2 gb card that came with the phone. It all work smoothly. So what is the problem the sd card or the phone's software. Please answer i'm desparate and tired of wasting time.
***SOLUTION FOUND! I CAN NOW ACCESS THE FOLDER. SEE POST BELOW.***
Android File Transfer was working great up until a few days ago when it started to bug out, only for when trying to access the Camera folder on my exSD Card.
I can access everything else except when clicking on this folder the message pops up, which makes no sense because my screen isn't locked. (Screenshot attached.)
Could it be that the amount of pictures/videos on the exSD card is too much to handle for AFT? After all, it is a 64GB card...which is a lot of land to cover and load....hmmmm
I've tried this, but no luck.
Note: I'm aware of AirDroid etc...Personally I prefer to be plugged in direct via USB.

Not really a theme Or app question but I'll give it a swing.
Can you access it on your phone fine?
Did you try using a card reader an see if you can access it that way?
If it's stating locked, it may have set permissions on your folder that inhibit access? Check those in a root explorer an see what they say too

Mod, can you move this over to the proper forum. Thanks.
Possible causes / Things I've tried:
I do have some pictures in an App called: KeepSafe, where you have to enter in a pin code to access those pics, so then I was thinking maybe this was causing the problem. So I entered the App and tried connecting, but darn...same old thing. Doesn't work and I keep getting the same error message as the pic I have attached to the original thread.
I have also tried to reboot in Recovery (twrp) and tried to mount the exSD, but still nothing. Here's the message it gave me:
E: Unable to mount '/usbstorage'
This is driving me crazy. Anyone?

Can you access it on your phone fine? - Yes I can access it just fine through ES File Explorer. I've also checked the permissions.
Did you try using a card reader an see if you can access it that way? - I'm sure it'll work fine with a card reader, but that's not my preferred method. It's just frustrating for something to have worked and out of the blue stop.
If it's stating locked, it may have set permissions on your folder that inhibit access? Check those in a root explorer an see what they say too - I've uploaded a screen shot of the message that I'm receiving.

Try moving the KeepSafe files to another directory.

Update 6/30/14
SUCCESS!
From the gallery on your phone, you can create folders and move (not copy) over pictures/videos and it'll be default save it to your phones internal SD card.
I didn't want to move all 4,000+ pics/vids so I just did it in little batches of 20 here 50 there and made just a few folders.
Then I connected the phone to my computer and accessed the Camera folder and....bam there it OPENS!
My theory:
If you have more than ~50% of your external SD card filled up then chances are your computer (Android File Transfer, for Mac users) will have a hard time trying to access that huge folder that is < 30+GB's ...
Therefore, you just have to lighten up the load on that folder so that it can be accessed with ease...
Pretty straight forward and simple.

It is more likely that they thought it very unlikely that there would be more than the old limit of 2,000 files in a directory so they didn't allow for it in the program code.

I am using windows 8.1 (tried on 2 different systems with same OS) and viperone rom 2.5.0 on my HTC one M8. (this is a problem i always had even on the stock rom, I thought that a custom rom might fix it but i was wrong).
When i connect my phone to my computer, it gets detected instantly.
It finds the internal sd card but also the external sd card.
HOWEVER, when i go to the internal sd card (So the memory the phone has by default) There is no Android folder. (you know, the one with the .com-facebook blabla files in it)
When i open a file explorer on my phone I can perfectly see all the files and folders on my Internal SD card. But when I use the pc to find these files, allot of them don't show up. Even some files in the ROOT of the sd card are not showing up, and these are simple .png and .log files. AS IF WINDOWS 8.1 DOES NOT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE FILES, and therefor decides to just not show them.
- YES i have turned on Show hidden files and folders -
Oh yeah, sometimes these folders do randomly pop up in there on the pc but then the are gone just as fast as they appeared. Also transfering files is very, very slow and gets interupted from time to time because windows "Cannot connect to device" or "Lost connection to device".
I keep wondering, why can't it be easy like an simple usb stick/drive. Those things are just plug 'n play. I recon that android should have this same option but it keeps disappointing me
I remember the good GingerBread days where you pressed the button on your phone CONNECT STORAGE TO PC. And it worked every single time, without delay or other crap. Just like CWM with its USB Storage function.
Look for a folder named "storage", in there you find the folder "emulated" and in there is the folder "0" open it and you'll see all the folders you have on your phone
