Sounds like a corrupt memory card! Try top connect to a computer, copy out the files, format the card and try copying pack.

format sd card

I read alot of times the suggestion is to format the sd card. My question is since I am still new is do I simply move what I want to save (pictures) to my PC and then format? Do all the folders get automatically put back?
Thanks

Copy the data you want to your PC, format it, and copy the data back. Formatting destroys all data on the card.
Will the folders on the card now be put back on at some point by the phone itself?

Anything you didn't put there yourself, or download to it (e.g. in a browser, through Beautiful Widgets, or photos), yes.
Thanks. I am one of those noob's that was de-flowered in the world of flashing roms by Frozen 1.01. Went to 1.02 and was late to work becuase of 1.1 coming out last night. Thanks for what you all do and how much help you guys give to guys like me.

Thanks for your support!
I'm also still pretty new too. What is the benefit of formatting the sd card? I've never done it but I flash different roms all the time to check them out.

when do you see this error? after the phone reboots from flashing or right before the reboot? i've never encountered that particular error before so i might not be much help but i'll try
btw.....you might wanna duck and cover.....you posted in the wrong section so you might see some flaming. just ask a mod to move this to the Q&A section

First off, this is in the wrong forum. You should be posting this in the section for the rom you are trying to flash. Second off, infected rom is not a rom that I am aware of, that is a website that has quite a few roms on it though. Please elaborate what rom you are trying to flash exactly and I will try to help you out.
sorry for posting in the wrong section .i will post from now on in the question and answer portion of this forum and again im sorry about this ,however, the rom i am trying to use is the infected rom / eternity and what im trying to say is i downloaded the rom to my computer i connected my phone and downloaded the rom to my sd card so when i go to flash the rom i see it but i guesss its not zipped ? i click the rom and it tells me data.system meta.inf

Is this the ROM you are referring to? If so you will want to get the ROM from here try re-downloading and try the install again. Also are you using a Mac?

Also, you could always check the md5 sum. Otherwise, I would also suggest redownloading the rom. Are you using amon ra recovery or cwm?
yes that is the rom i am trying to download .i downloaded from the same site and it said decompressing failed twice .and yes i am on a mac
and im using amon recovery thanks for the fast replys

You are most likely using Safari which automatically unzips stuff, you will need to disable that for it to be fixed, open Safari then go to Preferences>General tab>uncheck Open "safe" files after download... And re-download the ROM. The ROMs are supposed to be zipped, happened to me all the time with my Hero back in the day lol.
i just unchecked it and will download it again .i will let you know if this worked wow you guys are great man
That's interesting, and kinda dumb. Does it do it with all types of zip files including apk's?
Boo

Should fix it, like I said, Safari automatically unzipping ROMs is bad as they are supposed to be zipped, and the unzipping breaks the files signature.

Do you always use Safari? If so I have no answer, lol, all I know is everything should be fine now.

If that doesn't work for you, you could always try downloading directly from your phone and see if that makes the difference. I would have never had that answer though cause I always download from my windows laptop or directly from my phone. Although, I have found RCmix3d to run better on my phone that eternity anyway. I do love virus' work, but he never really finished eternity and is now mostly working on other phones. R46 was just released though, and nobody knows what was changed, so hopefully the issues are fixed. My problem with eternity was that I kept missing text messages, which can't happen for me. Let us know how this goes and I might even try eternity again if the issues are fixed. Good Luck! If not, I suggest either RCmix3d or PrimeXL3d, they are both basically the same as eternity and have both worked better for me at this point
yes i use safari all the time lol ill keep you posted haha .i hope this works
it worked wow lol however it was stuck on the boot for quite sometime my god i thought i messed it up lol thanks guys amd ill let you know how this rom works

Great, I'm glad bmxrider helped you out on this one. Please do let me know what happens with the new eternity, mainly if your text messages all come through. I know you can use go sms or whatever, but I am not a fan of adding unneccesary apps to my phone really. I like to stay mainly stock with a few games and root apps as needed.
i will let you know .it looks delicious my god this virus dude is sick man wow great and very smooth .it took some time to load but hey its really nice

[Q] Deleted Pictures?

I unlocked my Bootloader today and without knowing basically wiped my SD card of all personal files including music, text message backup files, my backup root files, ALL files. I honestly dont care to recover all files that were deleted but am dying to get my pictures back. Is there anyway i can get them back without the guide used to get back all deleted files as seen in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705 guide? I was trying it but it doesnt wanna play right with my laptop(Windows 8 and it keeps saying i dont have "permission", even though im the main and only user). I tried the disk digger app but its finding all kind of random pictures i never remember and things like that, just too much. So please if anyone knows anyway i can get them back share some insight.
Anything????
That was a super fast bump...you could try recovering everything with disk digger and trying to pick out what you're looking for after it finishes. The recovery applications look for anything that has not been overwritten in memory (even if it was deleted), it won't pick and choose the most recently saved stuff for you; you usually need to do that yourself.

I don't know about swapping but in settings, storage, make more space, you can move stuff to SDCard.

Try foldermount and creating a link from internal to external... That's what I done as a temporary measure.

Yeah, but don't want to disturb em' with pm.
So hoping some one is able to reply t to this thread with a solution. I'm open to try most things...as I've seen other brands running 4.4.2 with this kind of mod.
And I'm sure many of you out there is also interested in this as it bumps the internal memory from 16 Gb up to 128 Gb.
Any luck?
No nobody seems to know how to for the one with KitKat
I've also interested to expand internal memory.
