Hi,
I was running Flex ROM w/ the MicroSD swap Mod. I shutdown the device and took out the memory card. I used the card for transferring some files. After I inserted back the card and turned on my device, the A100 was no longer detecting the MicroSD swap Mod. I tried to install a new ROM, Green ICS, but it is still not working. The Internal and SD storage are reflecting the Internal Storage. I have set the permission correctly on the install-recovery.sh but I cannot get the MicroSD swap to work. Could anyone please help me with this?
Thank you.
Are you sure you set the right permissions? If you used Root Explorer, all the boxes must be checked. Also, have you tried running the script on boot (using script manager)? You could even execute the script manually.
Since this started after using the card outside of the tab to transfer files, I would suggest checking it for errors, or even formatting it and trying again. A bad removal from a PC can cause this to come up, it seems to happen occasionally on all devices when the card is removed and used on either another device or on a PC. Android won't always notice something is wrong, just won't mount it without reporting errors or things like that mount swap script will fail as the mounting isn't completed on the external SD, so it can't swap mount points (one is missing).
I say bad removal from PC because, windows in particular, will allow you to unmount for removal while STILL writing to it, which makes no sense to me. In my experience, even in linux, the file transfer dialog will say its complete, however the card is still being written to for up to a few minutes afterwards. The card reader I use has an activity LED on it, and I don't even attempt to unmount (or remove in windows) the device until after that has stopped blinking for a few seconds. Removal while still writing can cause filesystem errors that android will usually pick up, but not always.
If possible, try the card in another android device and see if it mounts.
If not, copy all of your data off to your PC, then format it FAT32, then insert into the tab and see if it picks it up.
If not, insert it into the tab and see if it will allow formatting from there.
If not, insert it into another android device and see if it will allow formatting from there.
If not, perhaps wiping in CWM or TWRP will allow it to be mounted.
If recovery will not mount it, even after ALL of the above steps, then the card may just be bad, its flash memory, it happens. A recovery log would help if this happens, and point out why it's failing. ADB shell can then be used to attempt to repair it by e2fsck for error checking, and mke2fs to format it. Final last ditch is zero it out and format again. That should overwrite any bad areas with zeros and "hide" the bad data by writing zeros over it. Takes a LONG time to do this though, roughly 20 minutes per 6 GB. But before we ever get to needing to zero it out, the other tools will report something like a bad super block which can easily cause failed mounts and won't always be reported in android.
Thank you for the replies. I have already reformatted the microsd card. It is actually read by the tablet and no problem using it but I still cannot swap the memory. It was working before. The permissions are correct. I've set it with everything checked for rwx. After rebooting, my internal memory is still the same but the SD storage becomes a duplicate of the internal storage. I have tried using script manager. I'm not sure though if I ran the script properly. Is there any guide on running the install-recovery.sh on script manager? Thank you again in advance.

To run it manually in Script Manager, just select it and click run (make sure you are browsing as root). You could also use Root Explorer (a bit more simple) - Simply tap it and choose execute.
Thank you for the response again. I tried executing it on Root Explorer but nothing happened. It says install-recovery.sh was executed but after restarting, nothing happened. My bootloader is unlocked and I'm using TWRP 2.1.1+. Both Flex Reaper and Green ICS ROMs no longer works with the MSD2INT Mod on my tablet. I'll try reverting back to HC then re-do the whole process of unlocking bootloader and rooting. If anyone has an idea or similar issue, please assist. Thank you.

If you use Root Explorer to do it, it will not work after a reboot. You would just execute it and use it from there (and re-execute after each reboot). Script Manager is best since you can set it to automatically execute the script on boot.
Thank you. I tried using Script Manager on /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and set SU and Boot then saved it. I rebooted but still not working. I'll just try from scratch and see if I get it working again.
I added an edit to this post
longest edit ever
Which explains the steps for both methods of using this script, acer stock/modified or AOSP based which uses script manager. Give that a read, it's quite detailed and boring, but it works.
This is also going to be added into the A100 guide as I get around to it, for anyone else having issues. Mainly, make sure the permissions are correct if it's not working, and you're giving it a minute to show up.
Thank you to everyone who replied. I was able to determine the issue and fixed it. It was a problem with my microSD card. pio was right. The card was corrupted. It was being mounted and detected in the ROM but I was not able to mount it on the recovery. It seems it is not read during boot up and it only gets mounted when the ROM is loaded. I tried reformatting it using the Windows format tool but it still didn't fix it. I was able to use the SD Formatter v3.1 application to fix the problem. The microSD to internal storage mod is now working. I'm back using the Green ICS ROM. Thanks again for the help and suggestions.

How to install apps from MARKET to SD card, so we dont have to reinstall them each flashing
you need root! and a custom rom (MCR2.2 or 2.3 are my faves) these have apps2sd built in.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591
p.s your thread should be in Q&A NOT the Dev section
problem
hi. i've partitioned my sd card as per the instructions on this website. prior to that, i'd installed the modaco rom version 2.2, which is meant to have apps2sd on it.
i thought that after partitioning my sd card my apps would automaticaaly get transferred to the sd card. but that doesn't seem to have happened. how do i go about making that happened. i don't want to reinstall the modaco rom, it should happen already shouldn't it?
also, where exactly is apps2sd on the modaco rom? i can't find it.
try booting your phone without the SD card in....are your apps still there?
apps2sd is built in to the rom, you dont need to run anything. It does it all by itself in the background.
thanks. I'll try that tomorrow. Before I do, just one other query. I thought that after partitioning the sd card, everything on it would get wiped. But the same folders (ther were only 2 before i partitioned it) are still there with the files in them!
which makes me think, did i successfully partition the card? there's no doubt that when i typed 'print' in the adb shell/ gparted after the partitioning process it gave a list of 3 partitions in the sd card. I basically followed the instructions to the letter. I won't be in a position to check again until tomorrow.
Just to be clear before I do something I may or may not regret, to get apps installed on the sd card, I need to partition it first, correct? Once it has been partitioned correctly, any app installations I do, say via the market, should go straight to the sd card? I'm running MCRv2.2.
Yes partition your card first. (FAT first, then EXT3 second)
they usually go to the SD card after a reboot i think.
AFAIK it is a script that is run during startup.
thanks alot for that.. i done a bit more research an have it all sorted.. cheers.. brett
good news. happy to help
as suggested earlier on this thread, i rebooted my phone without the sd card, and sure enough, all my applications/ widgets could not be loaded (except those that were already on the modaco 2.2 rom). rebooting again with the sd card in place, and everything is back to normal.
however, when looking on the sd card with astro file manager, i can't see a list of the applications anywhere. also, after connecting my phone to the computer, and then looking under 'removable disc' on my pc, i can't see the list of apps on my sd card then either.
so i guess what i'm asking is, how do you definitely know that apps2sd has kicked in. i've read on this and other forums that people have checked on their sd card and seen their list of applications. how does one do that? is what i've done above, namely booting my phone without the sd card in place and demonstrating that the downloaded apps don't work, enough proof that apps2sd has worked properly on my phone?

You can't see them in /sdcard because that is your FAT32 partition of the card.
Apps2SD works by mounting an ext3 partition from your card, it is mounted to /system/sd/ normally I think. Have a look there with your filemanager.
The reason for having a separate partition for it is that Android requires the ability to set access rights and ownership to files for it work, and FAT32 does not support this.
if you load a linux live cd (i use ubuntu) and plug in your card reader, or mount your hero, you will see the two partitions (or 3 if you use swap).
Windows can't see ext3 partitions, but linux can, cos its great
yeah i had a look using astro file manager and went into system/sd but nothing is listed there.
anyway, now i have a whole new bizarre problem. most of my apps force close when i try to use them! for example, i open taskiller, and its fine while its running, but as soon as i select something to kill, a message pops up saying it has to force close. same with advanced task manager, shopsavvy, shazam, flixster movies and many others. i've turned my phone off and on, and rebooted a couple of times to no avail. phone calls and internet access still works fine.
all this has started since i tried booting my phone without the sd card. i've taken it out again and tried again, but still same problem. weird!
ok problem above solved! i uninstalled then reinstalled the applications, and then they work.
thanks for all your help guys.
i used to get that on my g1...un-install and re-install always solved it for me too!
happy hero'ing!
I am glad that there is a ROM that support A2SD, but i prefer to run the generic one, and if possible is there a code to make my generic pre-rooted rom A2SD abled?

Hi,
I keep getting this error - Mounted Readonly.... the sd card has an unexpected problem.
I installed the NextSense 3.0 Rom earlier, it worked fine for a while until i installed some apps to the sd card and then this error kept appearing.
I searched for solutions and every one involved removing apps, especially task killer. I have removed everything and the problem persists. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Failing that i'm going to wipe everything and start again, can anyone tell me how to correctly wipe and repartition everything? The instructions I found to partition are:
"Partition SD" SWAP=0, EXT2=512, FAT32=<remaining>
then "SD:ext2 to ext3"
any advice would be great, thanks!

Not sure it's all that helpful, but I had the same problem with ieftm's Official 2.2 ROM. The problem seemed to go away after I connected via USB to my pc and selected the 'Disk Drive' option on selection type on my Desire. After I disconnected, all was good.
I had this problem also. So i just popped the card in my computer and reformatted it with Gparted (in linux). If you don't use linux, i'm sure you could still format it in windows to fat32, but then you'll need to create an ext partition via the phone.
thanks for the reply, thats what happened when the problem first occured. I had it connected as a disk drive to copy some apps to the sd card and after disconnecting it the error started.
i tried it all again nothing helps

Like i suggesetd before. Take the card out of the phone and plug it into an sdcard reader and format it that way.
I had that issue with some of the OTA ROMs apart from Pinky.
Just connect it to pc in disk drive mode and then remove safely in windows and then select charge only and remove cable. should be fine.
I had the same problem and I repaired it with Windows Vista Tools. Right click in the drive letter, Properties, Tools and Check Disk.
It solved some problems and it worked fine in the phone.
Regards
I had to format my whole card, the Win7 repair function doesn't work for me...
based on my experience, this issue occurs if you don't do reboot after the first boot. so after you install the rom, when it asks you to set the language, reboot your phone again. after that then complete the setup process.

not true
This happened also to me with ieft ROM. I did a few reboots before this happens to me. I tried some workarounds that people say in this thread with no luck. When connecting the phone to the PC, phone did not give me the option to mount the sdcard like disk drive. In the end, I'm formatted sdcard, deleting ext3 partition.
I'm using ap2sd of Froyo with "Mod Install Location" app from market. And this works fine. I have no problems with space in internal memory.
the quickest way i solved this problem was to unmount the micro sd card under the SD & phone storage options then remount it again. thats how i solved it, hope it helps.

better make a list of all possible ways to fix this prob i suppose, starting from easiest to hardest.
I have fixed this issue with the wipe of the dalvik cache! Try this!
I had the same issue. Copied everything across from the SD Card to a temp folder on my PC (Win 7 x64) then it came up with a copy error from one android.temp file, I skipped it, copied everything, formatted to FAT32 then copied everything back across and the issue was fixed.
Maybe something had locked that file and corrupted it perhaps?

When it happened to me it was a corrupted app. I had downloaded an app from a site and put it on my card. I don't think it downloaded all the way, and messed it up. But the way I fixed it was moving apps and formatting the card.
Hey everyone. I am running savagedzen 2.2.1 (CFS). Up until about a week ago it was running fantastic. However, it recently has started to give me tons of SDcard errors, but they're intermittant. For example when trying to run spotify, i'll get errors that the SDcard isn't currently accessible when the phone has been running a little while; but then I'll be able to open fpse and play an iso off of the sdcard just fine. Then i'll try to open a game in my snes emulator and it won't be able to open the save file even though the game works fine.
Weird stuff.
As of today I'm copying everything off and reformatting. Any suggestions on tools, utils, or some sort of fsck utility for the memory card to make sure its working ok? None of the tools seem to indicate that there is any problem. I'm still using the stock memory card so I may look into grabbing a class 10 16GB card if the time has come for a replacement.

reformatting is the first thing i would try.
you can also check to make sure the SD card is properly seated. perhaps it may have a loose/intermittent electrical connection.
i am not sure what else you can do.
Well, just copied everything off, and have formatted from recovery. Now I'm copying everything back - hopefully the wonkiness goes away.
Also deleted the /sdcard/android folder. Here's hoping that doesn't jack too much up. Worst case scenario is I install a new rom :X
Ok this is getting weirder.
When I try to format the disk (via recovery->wipe), it acts like it is formatting. However when i go into /sdcard, there are all my files.
I put the card in a sdcard reader, and opened it in windows - all the files are there. I am manually deleting them, and getting no errors. However when I open back up the card, all of my files are still there.
I'm about to try using dd and zeroing out the card - not sure what else to do. I don't think its write protection because there is no error when I attempt to delete a file. In explorer it even shows that the file was deleted. But if I unmount/remount the card... there it is again.
Thinking this may be a sign to get a new card.
Well, I'm about to declare the sdcard as shot.
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk0
runs, and finishes with no issue. Then, wiped the card via Amon RA Recovery. Results? Files still present on the SD-Card.
The crazy thing is that I can add new files to the card, but I can't delete anything. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Otherwise, I'm picking up a 16GB class 10 card on my way home from work.

Tried it earlier; format fails with an unknown error. mkfs.vfat appears to succeed, but then the files are still there.
Edit:
Just had a coworker attempt to format the disk using mac diskutils - same thing. Showed a successful format, and it looked like it was blank. But then after unmounting/remounting, there were my files!
Looks like I'll be picking up a new card. In the meantime I'll keep this one around as my indestructable backup copy
Putting this out there because I've never seen this before and cannot find anything on it to fix it.
I have a 64gb microSD card that is formatted FAT32. Been working fine for months and all of the sudden, after trying to copy a zip file onto it yesterday, I no longer have write permissions. I just want to format it and start over but I can't. I've tried formatting it with 4 different programs in windows. I can't write anything to it via usb cable if its mounted in my S3. I can't write anything or delete anything via root explorer. I've tried multiple computers, different adapters in my computer, writing to it anyway that I know how and nothing works. It was never encrypted or anything, just a straight up plain microSD card.
Does anyone know how to remove write protections via a PC or force a format? I've tried to format unsuccessfully multiple times, presumably because it is write protected somehow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bump.
I've tried to completely repartition multiple times on two different OS's, no luck. Can't get this thing format at all. I can delete a file(s) and create new folders, and it'll show the changes initially, but then if I re-mount it, everything is the same.
When I run a repair program it points to the previously mentioned zip file, saying its corrupt but there is no way that I can see to wipe it. Ideas?
Try fixing permissions and check the first 9 boxes using root explorer.
EDIT: if you are trying to put files over 4GB it will not work.

I tried earlier in the day fixing permissions and it was a no-go. I couldn't do anything through the phone and that's why I just pulled the card and started trying to format/wipe/re-partition the card via computer. It was the same story for both devices though. I could make a change to a file (i.e. delete or move something) but as soon as I remounted the card, it would be like nothing I did ever happened. All the files prior to this happening are there and readable, I just can't create anything new or delete anything.

There's a switch on the side of your SD adapter to toggle read/write

I wish it was that simple. If I put the switch in the locked position, the computer recognizes it as locked. However, if I put it up where it is supposed to be to write to the card, the computer thinks its writable but won't actually erase anything. Same thing is going on when I put the card in my phone and try to manipulate files, without an adapter.
Sounds like the card itself went bad and needs to be replaced.

I tried that a couple of times . At first glance it looks like it's formatted, none of the files show up. However, after rebooting, everything is still there--nothing changed. I just want to wipe this thing but I nothing is taking. I am starting to think that this thing is just done but I am holding out hope because I can still see and read the files that were on there before this fiasco.
Every time I run a repair utility, it points to the zip that caused all of this trouble, saying that it is corrupt but I can't wipe it. I have no idea what to do.

The option to delete the volume is grayed out. Any attempt to format fail. When I run disk repair it does find a problem with the zip file that caused this mess and tells me to run chkdsk to fix it. I do but it never fixes anything.
Is there a program that will forcefully wipe out the partition so that it can be reformatted?
Bump.. Same problem here .Did you find any solution?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Try this:
- Go to start, type in cmd
- Right click on cmd, and select "run as Administrator"
- command line will start w/ Admin privileges
Here, you need to run a program called DiskPart. It helps you "clean" hard drives that have many partitions that aren't normally accessible.
- from cmd line, type diskpart
- a new command line program will start
- here, type "list", it will show you a list of commands.
- type "list disk", find out which disk is your 64GB micro (mine happens to be disk 8)
- type "select disk #" (# is your disk you want for cleaning)
- disk # will be selected.
Very important: Make sure you have the right disk!
- If you are sure, type in the word "clean". This will completely wipe out the disk that was selected.
after that, you're done, you can exit DiskPart/cmd.
Go back to Disk Management, and now you can see that the whole drive is unallocated.
At this point, you can format your drive (using your Android device or Windows, to FAT32 or exFAT)
Hi everyone,
I have a 64gb sandisk microsd external card, in a att galaxy s3 and it appears to be acting very strange.
i can't add or delete anything from it, i put it in my brothers galaxy s2 to format it (my s3 not having the option(which is strange)) and it let me format it, but when it remounts its at the exact same place, with 42.2gb free storage space, which is what it was at before i formatted it, i did it a few times same thing.
if i manually try to delete things from the card through my phone or computer they either hang or they do delete then upon reboot all the files are back. I hope its not corrupted but it sounds like it is. i've used a few apps like sd tools which runs speed tests, and i get about 130mb write speed a second and 5000mb read speed a second which sounds like it should be able to read and write things but unfortunately it just won't
any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hmm. You might have to try a double format in TWRP, then when you load up the System use the system's format tool. (i.e. Storage --> Wipe SD Card). If that doesn't work, you might need to find someone with a microsd to USB jig or something of the sort and use a computer to format it.

yeah thanks for the support, tried a number of things in twrp but to no avail. i went out and bought another 64gb microsd card and put it in my phone, works perfectly. but still i'm trying to get the other card working. the new card came with an adapter so i've been trying to format it in my computer. i've used windows format, i do the long one, it gets all the way to the end looks like its complete then says unable to format. and all teh data is still there, i've also tried guiformat by ridgecrop, says success but still all the information is still there.
i don't know if this means the card is corrupt i'd always assumed i'd get corruption error messages.
is there a program i can use to scan the card for errors or corruption?
thanks again dude for the responses any additional help will be very much appreciated still.
again thanks.
solution sorta found
Okay, finally ran out of options and things to search for so broke down and called sandisk techncial suport (didn't think they could help but my mistake)
