First and foremost, I pray this is the right thread. Trying to do right.
Hello to all.
My 8 gb sd Card is not accessible. I see it in "about phone storage", but when I click on it, I get a message that says "sorry, settings has stopped worrking".
I have the CyanogenMod 10-20120815 UNOFFICIAL-d2spr.
I am very new to this and I am learning as I go.
The Kernel is "3.0.40-cyanogenmod-g7de7eff
[email protected]#29
Tue Aug 14 19:16:16 PDT 2012
CPU ARMv7 Processor rev(v71)
Build number :cm_d2spr-eng 4.1.1 JRO03L eng
shareef.20120814.221509 test-keys
Oh yeah, Android Ver :4.1.1
I do have a very slight flicker on app opening. I have very few complaints with the mod since it is my first and I have to learn how to KEEP UP.
So please, any advice will be greatly appreciated. AND I have been searching for a fix and "googling" terminology as I search. If you could direct me to the "stable" "official" "no leak" (learned what that is) and/or the latest, is it "nightly", I would be so happy. I take a lot of pictures and I do not want to use internal memory for that.
I did download , "cm-9-20120916-nightly-d2spr". Should I install that one over the old one, or should I do a clean install.
Please help. Trying to fix screw up with the latest "hightly". SMH. But I am Learning.
TIA

okay lemme see if I have this straight.you're on Cyanogen 10 (4.1)now and u want to downgrade to cyanogen 9(4.0)?. I dont understand why but if you're going to do it you have to wipe. I would wipe system is well. as far is the screen flickering, it happens on some builds. your current version is outdated.I would download the newest build(9/18) from http://get.cm/?device=d2spr. Runnin now no complaints. as far as the SD card goes, can it be seen in recovery? Thinkin maybe needs formatted. if recovery sees it okay try another rom. if it still don't work you should probably re format it.
Thank you so very much. Last night I really screwed up but got phone back booted. I installed "9-20120916-nightly-d2spr. Very buggy. I did not see the 10 version when I downloaded it. So, do I just download it and install over it,or do I have to wipe cache and devlic? I am learning and need some help
Also, I do not have clockwork installed. Was on sd card. I did format to fat32.
Thank you again for the reply.

You could probably get away w/ just wiping cache and dalvik-cache but a full wipe is always recommended. If you don't wipe first and have issues after flashing, go back and do a wipe and reinstall. And if you need recovery grab it from here http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2spr.img flash w/ mobile Odin. Alternatively you can flash this from regular odin on a pc https://dl.dropbox.com/s/87xg1wmhbtvbohn/cwmrecovery.tar?dl=1

BUT THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH for the right and what seems to be a good ROM so far.
I still have a problem with the sdcard. I have the problem that when I click on "audio" in the storage section, it says "sorry settings has stopped working" Any ideas?
The card is formatted to fat32. I changed the formatting from "fat" when I first started having the problems with the bad rom. Could the sdcard be bad just in the phone. It works on laptop.
Also, is there a section so I can update PRL and the other two updates?
Thank you soo much again

Was the card able to be read in recovery? And as of now im gonna blame the rom if you formatted the card. Try making a nandroid backup, wiping everything and reinstalling the rom clean. I bet thats the issue. And no PRL/Profile updates are not available on aosp based roms (aokp,cm,PA)
If you have to do them, do a nandroid backup, wipe all and reinstall something touchwiz based.(Blazer rom,freegs3,Stock etc)

Thank you so much. I am "dropping" a movie onto the ex-sdcard as I type, I will post back
Will watch QBKING77's video as I do the wipe again. Are there videos here that explain as well as QBKING77's? I really appreciate you and your assistance!
God's Blessings to You and Yours and this Forums Members.
I am using ROM Manager/ CWM ver 6.0, following QBKING77's instructions about wiping.
I see this message during the "wipe Dalvik cache". " E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"
Dalvik Cache wiped.
WOW. I have chills BILLARD412! SO FAR EVERYTHING IS WORKING!!!!!
I am going to install "File Manager" by Rhythm Software. I am doing this to try and access ext-sdcard. When I click on it in the "storage" section. It just "flashes". Well, I do not see an option to "open" ext-sdcard. hmmm What am I doing WRONG?
Thank you so very much!

Alright..........I change roms quite often on my EVO 4G. But once I zipped the UNleashed rom, things started to head down hill!!! I was getting force-closes out the ass! So I tried to change roms to solve the problem. I then went to the new Myn's Z rom, nothing was better. So I zipped the ELITE rom came, and I couldnt even open my market!! Plus a few other things. So then i zipped the 1.3.4 MIUI rom.....smh......and I kept getting a "android.process.acore" force-close REPEATEDLY!!!! I couldnt do ANYTHING without it popping up!! So I zipped and went back to Myn's Warm2point2 which is where i was before all this! And NOW.....my "PHONE" and my "PEOPLE" are ERASED from the phone!!! I CANT connect the phone to a computer using the USB!!!! And HTC sense and anything related to it is ERASED from the phone completely!!!..........did I mention I have NO NANDROID BACKUP!?!? I cant make calls, recieve calls, make texts, recieve texts, view my contacts, view my call log.....ANYTHING!!! So.......................................A SOLUTION PLEEEEEAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
try to wipe all data and cache in recovery mode....
Im doing that as we speak!! Hope it works.......smh
What he said.....same thing happened to me and doing that (read above) solved my issue.
On a second note....I've edited your post's title....don't offer money unless you are willing to pay up.....for example...you owe the guy above me $1000...do you plan to pay him? Or even worst...now you owe me $1000....soooo
Cheers,

Wouldnt have a problem with it, but I see you point! But....that still didnt solve the issue!! :-/
Where is moderator when he needed.
take the battery out for three to five minutes...replace it and turn phone on CWR....clear data and cache (hoping you did a backup) and the reboot...it should fix it.

Dude.
RUU
start over.
First thing is to calm down. Sounds like things are messed up probably from flashing so many different things and not doing it properly.
If you don't want to flash back to stock, try this. Shut your phone down and yank your sd card. If you read it directly from the computer does it seem to work ok? If not, your sd card could be borked. If it pulls up ok, format it. Then, put back in your phone and boot into recovery. Wipe everything. Then, try to mount your card via recovery usb mount. If it still doesn't mount, then post back. If it does, move the rom you want onto the card and flash it. Then, go from there and see how things turn out.

Wipe Everything 3 times. Seriously.
I have been rooted for awhile via unrevoked, but my microphone went out a week ago, so I had to get a new evo. I went to root again but I must of done something wrong because every time I go into hboot it tells me I have to update, and then says cannot roll back hboot. It DOES say S-OFF at the top of hboot. Every time I update though hboot it resets the entire phone and I have to redo everything. I am frustrated currently because I'm not sure what to do next. Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks
hah funny problem. the 'update' is a pc36img.zip on your sdcard. it will be on the root (that means not in any folders) of your sdcard. just delete it and you'll be fine. every time you 'update', it replaces the flash memory on your phone with the contents of the pc36img.zip (except for the protected bootloader in this case) so that's why you lose all of your stuff. it's probably a leftover from unrooting. just get rid of that, maybe reflash your recovery, and flash a rom!
just ask if you have any other questions.

Hi, its my first time posting, I figured I wanted to sign up to XDA eventually so why not when I feel like I've completely ruined my phone... or at least internal sd card...
Basically I rooted my phone and was flashing the Jellybam rom, and everything was going smoothly until I got to the bootloader and my phone started bootlooping. My first thought was 'Oh but I have a backup'. So I went to my backup in CWM and to my dismay I got an error saying "No files were found."
I could clearly see my files from exploring around on my sd card however they were now in a file called '0' and CWM could not read them from there. Without a working ROM I started to panic. However I had a zip of CM10 still on my internal sd card so I flashed that and (luckily) it worked.
Not really being too competent with flashing new ROMs yet I was quite happy that I had anything. So I used titanium backup to reinstall my old apps and data. However once they were installed I now get an error with 'the process android.process.media has stopped'.
I'm guessing this has do do with the fact that I have all my files still on the '0' folder. All the other folders from the '0' folder were the same except they were all empty, soooooo I decided to delete them. At this point I'm guessing that was a really bad idea because my initial plan of moving all the files from '0' to my pc then back to my phone, I did not think about the fact that I would be moving 14 Gb of data...
So basically now I'm hoping if someone knows a way to revert my phone to 4.1.2 by somehow moving all the files from '0' back onto the internal storage (basically getting rid of this '0') folder. The CM10 ROM is a 4.1.2 ROM so its not like I'm fudging up my phone further (I hope).
If you could be as detailed as possible as to what to do that would be great, because I'm really really new to this....
From what I've read I've heard a couple of suggestions:
1. updating the recovery.img of CWM will work? How exactly do I do this?
2. opening abd shell recovery and moving the files like that (however I deleted all the other files in the internal storage apart from '0' because that was where all the data was stored and everything else was empty...'
help. :crying:

So how exactly do I do that? I just download the the latest clockwork mod and flash it? Why can't it be updated via an automatic updater? And what will it do to the file or will it change clockwork mod so that it will scan the entire sd card?
Also if I just remade folders identical to the ones I deleted, will that still work?
I'm just trying to get my phone to be as functional as it was before this all started.
Thanks for replying btw!

That's a lot of question for the simple fix I gave you.. I haven't used cwm in a while so Idk what changed in the update but if people said it fixed it, then it did..
0, 1, 2, etc.. Is something that came with JB, it's for the different users. Not much can be done about it.
About how you should do that: Go on their website, FOLLOW their instructions to a T, Enjoy.
As for why it can be updated via an automatic updater.. Well I'm not the person you should ask.

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just worried that I messed up my phone. Would you know if I were able to be able to access my old clockwork mod backups and used one of them, would it put my 0 files back into the internal storage like they used to? Or would it only revert the settings and I would still be SOL.

Yes, that's the whole point of the cwm update. Now to flash it!
Or, go digg through the cm nightly thread. They had a flash able zip that would restore your internal sd after downgrading Android versions.

the cm nightly thread? So theres a zip that would make 4.2 go back to 4.1?

Forget cwm it sucks use twrp and be done with all the problems
Sent from the scary door....
I'm suddenly having storage issues with every ROM that I flash after running a ROM with some script that isn't widely used.
First I'll give you a brief idea of my problem. I"m running out of storage and get notifications from the market saying as much after I download and reasonable amount of apps. The thing is... It show's I have used 738MB of ext4 out of 1.5 so that isn't the issue. The problem is internal memory. My phone won't move dalvik cache for some reason. When I run any ROM with a2sd or m2sd they both say that there is a problem and leave the dalvik cache where it is.
I think my internal folders are jacked up from 40ad2sdx or a zip that was used to clear memory before the ROM. There was a ext4 superwipe cleaner to load before the ROM. I did that without researching first. When I did go looking for the thread about it, it plainly said that it was for one phone only, and it wasn't my phone. I believe it was the Galaxy S3, but I can't be certain. It was a week ago. It was advised not to use it on any other phone because part of what it did was reset the internal folders. Does this mean I can now flash a ROM for the galaxy s3? Lol Just kidding.... Seriously, the second part is all my speculation and I have been wrong many times concerning android. Will somebody help me get my phone back in oem condition please?
Okay, I'm not even sure what you did here, because not knowing the script, anything could have happened.
Try wiping everything and flashing stock rooted here, then go from there with other roms after that.
If that doesn't work. Here's what I would do. It might be a major pain, but it is almost a surefire fix.
Unroot and return to stock, then root again.
[UNROOT]
[ROOT]
For future reference, NEVER flash anything that is meant for another device. (Obviously, if it's a port then you're ok.)
ALSO EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Backup your SD card, and wipe that puppy clean!! Only partition using Amon-RA recovery, otherwise it will screw you up quite often. I repeat, if you do not have the partition done correctly, then odds are that A2SD or equivalent won't work.

I did the wipe and flash to stock earlier today, then flashed the Pac man ROM but the issue is still there. I had looked at unrooting my phone earlier today also. I'm glad to read this because it lets me know that I do have some idea of what to do. Thanks for the reply. I'll post here again with the results. Check back soon.
EDIT----> Man, my phone is okay. I loaded up a fairly recent ROM by Tronit, and it worked fine. It was the ROMs. Just to be sure, I went back to the last two ROMs just to see, and they did the same thing again. Now I'm on the AOKP Unnoffical and it's working just fine. The a2sd is working perfectly like it should, and my dalvik cache is moving to ext4. It was just coincidental that the last three ROM's I loaded all have issue with the a2sd. It's funny how nobody else see's problems but me. I looked in the bin file of one of them and it's missing part of the a2sd file. The other two have weird init.d files that I don't know anything about. I'm assuming the a2sd problem is related to that. It's funny how I see lots of problems, and report them, but I get blown off by some people as a noob who is making mistakes. I am a noob, and I do make mistakes, but I know some of my theories about problems are correct...... I gotta get me some respect by compiling my own ROMs.
Status update..... My phone is jacked up for sure. It does work with the AOKP Unofficial by Tronit, but this morning when I cleared my cache with Smelkus Recovery, it had major problems with almost every app. Clearing the cache in recovery is something I've done with every ROM and this has never happened. I uninstalled all the apps and reinstalled them. Got them working again. Everything seemed to be okay. However, when I cleared my cache with Android Tuner, again it ruined every app. I've used android tuner every day for two months to clear the cache and never had problems like this. Something is very wrong.
*****edited and deleted for the sake of peace*****
Long story short, I flashed something made for another phone. I can't explain why I did this without taking up lots of pages, and it doesn't even matter really. Lets just focus on the solution. Here is the link. I flashed both of the zips in the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477955
So I think my permissions for the files on my phone are out of whack. Is that what I"m reading is the possible outcome of flashing these if your phone is not the one listed? Please post your thoughts. I need them.

I did that. Both with Smelkus, and Mini partition wizard. Same problems. I just tried to fix permissions with smelkus 4.3 on the AOKP Unofficial ROM and it took a minute for it to do it's thing. The line of dots was two full rows. So when It loaded back up, I suddenly see the same disk Icon in my notification bar, and now this ROM says it it out of memory. Man, it was working fine. I had twenty more apps on it too and I uninstalled them. It was working fine then, so with twenty less apps, it shouldn't suddenly say "Running out of Storage space."
I have told you this already: Please do not flash things meant for other phones, it could mess up. If it's meant for another device, it might screw yours up. To stay on the safe side: If it's not generic (works for every Android phone) or phone specific (exclusive to the Evo 4G) then don't flash it.

I flashed this about a eek ago, when I was looking for the ext4 wipe. I thought it was the same thing as another zip despite what it said. Stupid... I know. I think this may be the cause of my problems, but I can't be sure. I don't know at all really. Just speculations. I reflashed the CWM touch and used to flash a stock ROM. Gonna try that again. I ran the test on CWM touch and it said that the
/sys/class/android_usb/android0 was missing and unable to perform the test. Can this be the cause of my problems?
Don't beat yourself up man, it was an honest mistake, just learn from it and you'll be alright.
Now the optimal recovery for this device would be the Amon-RA recovery, and I recommend redoing what I said in my first post once you have Amon-RA installed. Amon-RA is an awesome recovery, and it's super easy to install. Check out this easy-to-follow video on how to install by clicking here.
Do that, then do what I said in the previous posts. Let me know what happens, because I'm almost certain this should work.

I tried loading the Pacman ROM again with CWM and it wouldn't even load. It gets stuck in a bootloop. After that I flashed smelkus and went back to the Stock Rom.

As I stated in my pm give me a day or so till I get back home and I will check into a fix for you. Only don't expect any one on one help. If the fix works cool if not I will dig further. TNN strives to help with any issue no matter who is at fault. I will look at the wipe script you flashed and see if it can be undone. Just be prepared of the possibility that your phone may never work correctly again.

I was finally able to get my phone straightened out. I loaded up a stock ROM then decided to use my SD Maid to look around. I found a file with completely different dates on it, but it wouldn't let me remove it. I ended up copying everything else in the subfolder and then deleted the parent folder. Then added everything else back. Wah lah.... magic. I don't know what that file was or where it came from but it was killing my internal memory. I'm wondering how it stayed from ROM to ROM. I dunno, but it's gone, and the Pacman ROM is lovely now. BOOM!!!!

Whatever I did only fixed part of the issue. I'm left with in a situation where every time I go into recovery my downloaded apps stop working. It is cutting part of them off whether I clear cache or not. All I have to do is power off into recovery, and when I reboot, all of my downloaded apps begin giving messages that "Unfortuately such ans such has stopped." My phone becomes inoperable. The only way I can keep it working is to send a new launcher to my phone from the market, let it install, then open it up and uninstall all the downloaded apps. I'm pretty sure this is an easy fix for someone like you Mancuso. I have a logcat and it show LOTS of errors that I have never seen before on any of my other logcats. What are my options? Tell me what to do to get my phone back to absolute OEM and then I'll reroot. UNLESS you know of some fix.
I've supplied a logcat from Catlog if you or anybody else wants to have a look. I'd really appreciate some help here. I love my Evo and I love learning this stuff. If somebody can help me positively identify the problem, I can most likely figure it out from there. Please give me your suggestions here. I'm nothing without some guidance on this. It's way out of my scope.
I've included a link to the ext4 script wipe that I used. How I got to this page, I do not know. However, I ran it because this page said it COULD POSSIBLY work on other phones despite the fact that it was made for another phone.

And I flashed both zips from the thread that the story links users to. Here is the link for the two zips.

I'm not sure this is the problem. I'll try to find the Vold.fstat thread that I tried on my own before you came up with the 40ad2sdx solution for the MIUI ROM.
This is the memory fix I tried as mentioned above.

Please note that you see before and after pics of sd storage. You can see that my pics clearly resemble the after pics shown in this thread. I believe this is my problem. How can I undo this?
This post reflects the only things I did outside of normal flashing. My problem is here somewhere...
The fix you used is for samsung devices. That could have caused your problems.
Ok here it goes. my network service is off so i use my droin inc for games and such. running custom rom wildstang83 IceCream Scencless 1.0. im not sure what happened to my phone but i left for 3 days and come back to my phone being totally jacked up. It wot dl apps the google play reverted back to the old market icon. wont save my passwords for google sighn in. every time i go to youtube it says to re dl the google play services. im sure other stuff is messed up too. i have tried to flash another rom but when it gets loaded back up it keeps saying process. whatever failed and there a bunch of those that loop and i have to pull battery. when i try to factory reset it says everything was formatted but when i reboot phone its the sme as it was before apps and all. So is there anyone out there who can help me with this. Sorry if i posted in the wrong place or what not. i wasnt sure where to post it cuz its kinda an advanced question but not really a question just need help.
not a virus but it does sound like your phone might have exhausted all the space in the /data folder. I had a similar thing happen to me before I rooted and fixed my phone where i exhausted the space, itt went a factory reset and put the phone into an unusable state.
i don;t know anything about the rom you are running but are rooted and have CWM installed? if so, you should be able flash a new ROM to your device, GAPPS and optionally, the low space disk fix.

Yes i do have cwm but i tried to flash a new rom via the recovery section. after i choose the zip to flash everything goes as expected untill after the reboot and it goes into the setup part where u have to put gmail password and stuff in then it basically freezes up with unlimited process failures. but i will try again. cant hurt from where it is now.
if you are not doing so already, i would wipe cache and dalvik cache after flashing the rom. that may fix the FCs.
I would also suggest you run a newer jelly bean ROM like Tiny;s 5-16 with his version of GAPPS(4-05) version plus the low space disk fix so you can maintain parity with what is the latest.
I am currently using evervolve 6-25 and it is working well for me.
the reason I say that is these newer JB roms have the ability to let you skip the activation easily. I don;t know if it was some feature of GB roms but the activation wizard in the JB roms seem to be better my opinion.
When switching to a different ROM, it is crucial to wipe /system. This can be a source of FCs. Also, if switching, it is also a good idea to do factory reset.

I just flashed another rom i used in the past by the same dev and so this is my step by step. 1. choose zip from sd. 2. factory reset. 3. wipe dalvik cache. 4. wipe cache partition. If this doesnt work i will try jb roms but i would hate to have to dump the dev that im useing. there the most stabe roms i have come across so far

what do u mean wipe /system. where do i find that. only reason i ask is cuz maybe ive never done that. but i have never had a problem withthe other 15 roms i have flashed before so thats why im so confused about what happened to my phone. all i did was shut it off and leave it home. nothing changed from my daily use before that and it was working top notch before i shut it off
im getting settings fc. youtube fc, my uploads fc, market fc, clock widget fc, internet fc, rss reader fc, htc sence fc, all those off of a fresh flash ad new sd card
Just lost my bckups that were saved on sd card so now i cant even get on it i dont get it. its not bricked but yet it i unstabe to run any rom but the preivious saved backup (now there deleted)
maybe the rom you downloaded is corrupt. worst case scenerio is that your phone is on it;s last legs.....
i would suggest you try downloading the JB rom and Gapps plus the low space fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050930
it;s kind of proven to work in my opinion. the 5-16 build is pretty stable.
what I do is flash the rom zip, gapps zip and low space zip, then wipe cache and dalvik. it probably should not make a difference but I am using TWRP as my recovery instead of CWM.
goodluck!

Thank u and its still not working. probably just takeing a dump on me now it is just bootlooping.
when i do a factory reset i get a wipe completed. but it says "no app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext" could that be part of the issue?? ive never noticed that before
i don;t know if switching to TWRP might help you but it might be worth a try. maybe a coincidence but the last time I had a screw up on my Dinc installing a ROM, i was using CWM. I switch right after that. I think i did read something about TWRP specifically supporting the EXT4 Low space fix.
maybe someone more knowledgable can chime in.

i will try it but it is doing the same thing on every rom i have tried to flash. ive tried 6 different roms so far and i have ran them all in the past so im incined to think its jacked. and is there a specific twrp for the different roms or can i just dl the latest version and it will work
