Internal memory issue - some folders not accessible - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
I had this problem since I got my N7100. I am not able to access the Download or Data folder on my internal storage. I am not able to delete them nor copying something into the folder... nothing. If I download something my phone automatically saves it to extSdcard/Download.
Anyone encounters this problem or has a solution. Help is very appreciated.
Thank you all!
EDIT:
I know that this Forum is maybe the wrong place, but I know that in this section much more people with propably good answers will come across than in Q&A section.

I found one first "wannabe-solution". It's only a workaround for the Download problem, but no real solution.
I entered the internal storage with my file-manager throught root partition (/data/media/) and managed at least to rename those corrupted folders in something else and with a dot at the beginning to hide them in normal file-managers. Now I changed the Download-Storage-Target in the stock browser to the internal memory. It works now like everything would be fine.
Anyway I can't delete these folders. And they persist. I had them before flashing, and after doing a Super-Wipe (including the internal media part) I got this problem again. So it has to be a Kernel-related or System-related problem. I think it's the second. I'm not sure but I think I had the problem also before flashing Perseus Kernel.
Anyway, some more help would be highly appreciated!
Thank you folks!

So, all of us have a question, we must post in original development in order to have a quicker answer.....strange
I'll report your thread.
What rom are you using?
For this one "If I download something my phone automatically saves it to extSdcard/Download." go to to your stock browser settings -advanced and find default storage.By default is memory card.Change it to device
edit:you see? You can find your answers.Flash back to stock rom and do wipe data/factory reset. Check again if your problem with internal memory is still there

At first I have to say that I am sorry, because of my thread-opening here, but I also thought that this might be a more intensive problem to more users here. I know, that I can change the download target (i wrote that in my last post), but that don't gives me the reason why this happened and how I can remove such folders.
Maybe it's more a android-general problem and not SGN2-related.

You are right. Sorry for that.
Regarding the problem. Maybe it is a necessary fact, that I used the init.d script to swap internal and external memory.
Could that be the problem?

I checked the folder right after flashing a completely new ROM. Already wiped everything in my phone. Problem was there from the beginning. Maybe it's another relict from the Script . I never used the script after the last flash.

I think its from the browser. My browser wont remind my location target. I have to change the lllocation to internal memory nearluly every time I start it. Thats very confusing.

Phone storage all used.

Hi all. Got a problem with my One X where it seems something is using all my storage space.
Has anyone seen this before? Easy fix? Going to move to a different Rom soon but this is crippling my phone until I move. Will post my current Rom in a follow up.
Villan Rom 1.1.1 is what I'm running.

Known problem prior to 1.29.401.11 (or equivalent). If your base is same or newer, just copy the data off the phone, format SD Card and copy it back on.
Ok thanks BenPope. Will give that a try.

Yup. It's a known issue that HTC has fixed in their updates Just copy everything from your SD, format it through the phone options, then copy everything back. It's an issue where files aren;t "really" deleted, hence still taking the space that should have been freed.
Sorry for the late reply to this. Where can I get the base files from?
You can use MIUI rom,but it's not android 4.1

Need help

Hello I am new here on the forum.
I replaced the internal memory by external put games on memory card and it worked just fine. But I decided to buy a 32gb card to be able to put more games, pictures, videos etc, I decided to format the memory card for the phone, but had forgotten that I had changed the memory, and unintentionally formatted internal memory, now the games that worked no longer work, maybe should have deleted some important file in the internal memory. I decided to undo this process of exchange and formatted the memory card and internal memory of the games and get nothing, then I decided to restore factory default again and the games did not work, put stock rom, including cyanogen 9, and yet the game did not work , and ended up going back to stock rom, I have android 2.3.6, build number GINGERBREAD.VJLB1. Does anyone know any way to reverse this situation?
Thank you...

I don't think deleting is reversible, unless you did a backup.

Reinstalled the game and put the dates still did not work, the apps work normally, problem is in play dates that do not work. I believe it is an important file of android that erased the internal memory.

OK... please explain EXACTLY what happens with your games...
You touch the icon for your game, then.........?

Then the following message appears. The application Asphalt 7 (com.gameloft.android.ANMP.GLoftA7HM process) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Appears below force close. This message appears when the game starts and when it returns to the home screen android…
Is this the only game you have issues with?
Do your other games/apps run OK?
Have you installed CyanogenMod 9?
If the answers to the above questions are all yes, then I'm sorry but there's AFAIK no answer for you.....Asphalt force closing on CM9 is a known issue, and I don't think that a work around has been discovered. Go to the CM9 FAQ and bug report thread and read/ask there.....
Edit.....you might also want to ask in the CM10 FAQ bug report thread, to see if anybody's having asphalt 7 issues in that ROM.......

Are you trying to restore the "user generated" game data.....high scores, progress saves etc?......
This should NOT be attempted as it is known that this WILL cause force closes......

I think you misunderstand.
I did this procedure.
Internal/External swapping
This mod will swap ur internal sd with external sd. Before swapping, backup the data on both sd cards to ur pc and manually "swap" the data from each other.
Then download and extract the vold.fstab from the attachment replace the one under /system/etc by using root explorer. Then reboot and enjoy.

Once formatted the phone in setting / storage / Unmount SD card / Format SD card.
as the process changes the memory formatted the internal memory instead of external ..
I really am sorry fella.....my knowledge of android is limited to my phone and what I've done to it/read about on this forum. I just don't know what else you could try......have you left a comment in the thread you linked to in your comment above?.....whoever created that thread obviously has more knowledge about android and the vold fstab modification than I do....and I can't help but wonder if that is where your problems started.....

Thanks for the help, I figured it out. I forgot that I had the app links2SD installed and had it for the default location of going to the SD card instead of automatic. Going to the provided link helped me remember. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for your reply! I had the same exact problem as you, but didn't have links2SD on my phone... I had installed something else similar to that. I went ahead and downloaded links2SD, and did what you said worked for you, and that was to set the installation location to automatic, rather than to SD. Now my phone finally works again!!!
I recommend anyone with this same problem to grab links2SD, and follow the steps above. I've tried everything I could find, apart from a factory reset. So glad it didn't come to that. Not sure what caused the problem either. I'm thinking it has something to do with LuckyPatcher, since I've had this problem before installing any type of "App 2 SD" apps on my phone.
~Thanks again!

[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.

TWRP not working correctly

On my M8, I'm trying to reinstall Xposed (reinstall because I stopped using it for a while and wanted to save some space) but when I boot into recovery, TWRP isn't showing me what's on my device. In the "Install" section, it doesn't give me the right menu. I don't know how to explain it, it shows me things that I'm not looking for. I've done this many times before and so I know what its supposed to look like. It doesn't show me any of my downloads (which BTW there isn't a downloads folder either), even if they're .zip files, it only shows me folders. Its really hard to explain but I also noticed that my backups are gone even though I did one yesterday. If i go into ES file explorer, and look into my recovery, i can still find my backups from TWRP. I'm running CM12.1 if it makes a difference and the device was on Sense 6 5.0.1 before that. Both are and were working perfectly.
