[Q] I messed up my phone

Hi, everyone, I am new here and I am really in need of help...
My handset is n7100. My previous rom is AllianceROM 4.1.2. I tried to flash phoenix rom v16. After that I have a problem with external sd card space. I think that might be due to abnormally working Extsd2internalsd mod. Because I can see a folder named sdcard0.
After that, I restored to AllianceROM but the problem came up, the external sd card is always reset after I reboot my phone. Everytime I reboot my phone, my extsd card seems to be reset. That means no matter what files or folders I moved into extSD before reboot, I will lose them after reboot, what I will have on the card is always 6 folders: android, data, DCIM, LOST.DIR, Movie, and titanium backup files. All other zip files I tried to put in the card (I tried to re-flash a rom) will be lost after reboot, no matter nomal reboot or reboot into Philz recovery. It is quite strange to me and I really don't know how to do this because I cannot flash anything from external sd....I also tried format extsd and reset to factory, didnt work, I also tried to remove the mod according to thread about the mod(extsd2internalsd) and my etc/init.d folder is empty....
Any thoughts would be welcome and thank you all for helping me out

Well the first thing you should do is try a second sd card to see if the problem persists... maybe yours is somehow faulty... secondly ... are you sure you got the sd card path right? try going to the root folder through a file manager... then go into storage or sdcard...it varies...inside that folder youll see a number of storage folders...check to see if any one of them is your ext sd card folder? maybe it resets everything because it really didnt get copied...really hope it works...good luck

Funky SD Card Issue

I have a T-Mobile Note 3, running DomPop v4.3. A new version (v5) came out and i was like why not. So i downloaded the files to my phone, which gets downloaded to my internal SD Card by default. I then moved it to the external SD Card. Then i backed up everything using TWRP 2..8.5.0. to my external SD Card, and did a normal wipe (data, cache, storage). After that i proceed to install the file and i cannot find it in the folder. I kept looking for 5 mins but no luck. So then i think there might have been some mistake and i'll restore to the backup i just made and that's not there either. I rechecked to make sure i hadn't backed it up in the internal storage but its not there either. So i reverted back to an older backup, which was still in my external SD Card. Upon reboot, i used ES File explorer to check my external Storage and the file i copied and the backups that i made wasnt there. Another interesting thing i noticed was that my TitaniumBackup folder had 0 files. I always make backups before each install and i'm sure there was 200+ files in there. So then i do a titanium backup, download the file again, but this time i copy it to external SD Card. Then i reboot into recovery, trying to install the file but its missing again. What ?? I reboot system without doing anything further and check my external SD Card and i see that the file i copied isnt there. And the Titaniumbackup folder that i just populated like 2-3 mins ago is empty again. I've repeated the process again and again - copying the file, doing titanium backup, and only rebooting my phone, and the files keeps getting deleted. I dont think its a R/W issue because i can write to those folders in the external SD Card just fine without any issues . Its just that when i reboot its gone. So what gives?

You might be better off asking in the DomPop Q&A thread. Maybe someone has had the same issue or already solved your issue over there.

Titanium backup is funky, and can sometimes create more problems than it can solve.
If you have mismatched bootloader and reflash the backup will bork your phone, can't figure out why you would use TB, I tried it once during my Galaxy S2 days and never bothered with it.
Maybe there is a different app that works better on lollipop.
Or you could be having the internal SD card issue that some are having, there is a fix in one of the update threads try that.

Thanks for your input guys. The issue was with my Transcend Premium 300X 64 GB external SD Card. I'm not sure what but something broke it, and broke it bad to the extent that i cannot write on it anymore. I can view the existing files in there, copy it but cannot delete it. I cannot format the SD card either. I tried using command prompt (disk part, format), softwares (SD Card Formatter, HDD Low Level Format Tool, etc) but no luck. Keeps saying its unable to format. I tried removing the write protection which was off to begin with, and scanned it multiple times with different Anti-Virus software but to no avail. And yes, i also removed the lock in the adapter. So yea, seems like i'll have to throw this one away. Unless someone knows a hard-core tool to format this sucker because i tried most of the conventional ways/tools i can find in the internet and it didnt work for me. Thanks.

Check out you tube with different search prompts, you never know, someone may have put out a video on it.
Good luck.

Internal mounted SD-Card dissapeared, after flashing Lineage 14.1

Hi XDA,
I'm struggeling with my SD-Card after moving to lineage 14.1 (Coming from CM 13).
Installation worked just fine, but now i can not access my SD-Card from the phone and even not from PC (over the phone). I mounted it as an internal drive on CM to extend my storage.
The System recognizes the Card, but only gives me the options to format the Card and use it as internal storage or format and use it as an external storage.
Could it be, that the Card cannot be used, because it was formated as an internal storage under CM 13?
If anybody has an Idea, how i get access to the files please tell me

I think you can't do anything now..
Only formatting it via PC(using command prompt..)

In the past while i was having a Moto G3,i got it to Marshmallow,made the SD card Internal like and about a month i got it stolen.But the good point was that i had removed the SD card.
Checked Google nothing useful.
Asked Motorola for any decryption tips,Nothing useful from Motorola.
And i couldn't stay with a encrypted SD card.. I formatted it(after making the "big choice" and it was back to factory stats..)
But the only thing that i didn't do,is that i didn't ask Google for support. Because Motorola makes pure stock Android but with some of Motorola apps and features.
As you was in AOSP based ROM (even if you was to LG's stock,Google could help) go ask Google gently for any solution(if you had important files,then surely they will help)

haha i had the same problem but the solution is very very easy just reboot into your recovery open recovery file manager and delete Android secure folder in your SD card.
thats all you need

Deleting "Android Secure" folder (there is no such a folder even in hidden files) won't do anything.
Also a thing that you should learn.(Because it seems you don't)
When your SD card is formated as internal you can't access it via TWRP a PC or even an other phone.
Because it gets encrypted.
Have a nice day.

Yea, i did not know that. If i had, i would have made an SD Backup
But I still have not formated the SD Card, I am still hoping :fingers-crossed:

It cant be undone. Sorry to say. I learned this the hard way also. When you put it in lineage, you remember it asking about how you wanted to format it (movable or integrated)
You chose integrated mode. That encrypted it and counted it as device storage. No unencrypting it. Also if you blew away that lineage install, its totally not able to be read anymore. It stored the only decrypt key in the lineageOS keystore.
sad times.

Ah yes u right but you can access it as internal. Recvery will ecognise it anyways and you can delete this folder...
Btw this worked for me i had the same problem. And NO there is the folder named "Android secure" definition-- Android.secure is the folder where stock froyo android moves apps to the sd card by default. If you don't use the apps presently, you can safely remove the corresponding app files from the android.secure folder.

Corrupted SDcard formatted as internal

So I first got a message saying that the sdcard was missing. then I found out that it was actually unmounting and remounting itself. And sometimes it would say corrupted as well.
So somehow it fixed itself. So i'm taking the change to get my data out and change to a new SD Card.
What would be the procedure for this.
I already moved all the apps that were on the sdcard to the internal memory.
But still see that there's an Android folder full of app data.
When i plug the phone on the computer am I seeing the internal memory + sdcard or only sdcard?
Can i just copy everything I see out and then replace with a new card, format as internal again and copy the stuff back in?
I already got everything except the android folder, there's like a few thousand files in there so it takes forever to compute the files.... doesnt even start copying.

I am facing the exact same issue. Hope the community supports and someone would answer this thread. My SDcard mounted as internal storage is not mounting anymore , says currepted. I am tons of Data on it. Some apps magically disappeared.
Please help, what should be the next step. If I buy new Card,, is it recommended to mount as External storage instead of Internal Storage?

how to fix probleme can't write access to external sd on android 6 HTC M8

hi to all
how to fix probleme can't write access to external sd on android 6 HTC M8
i try many tutorial but no one work with apk with xposed
is there any solution

I'm not clear: Are you trying to grant SD card write permission to xposed? Or tried to use xposed to fix the SD card write problem?
Not personally an xposed user. But if you have general issue with other apps not being able to write to SD card, I might be able to help.

Changing your backup location in TB is a bit convoluted, and a pain in the rear. I just had to do this on another device a couple weeks ago, and had to fumble with it for a while before getting it right.
In TB, press Menu, select Preferences, then select "Backup folder location". Tap "Click to Change" (auto detect never seems to "see" the SD card). Then you will see different file system options. Honestly, I don't completely understand the differences between them. I picked "DocumentProvider storage". Then I tapped the 3-line menu button on the upper right. Selected the SD card, and tapped "Select" button on the lower right. After that, I was able to "see" the SD card in TB and read/write to the SD card.
Now, your description of apps not detecting the SD at all, or saying it writes to the SD, but no files show up, is a bit more worrisome. It suggests more than a permissions problem. Might make sense to format the SD card. Be sure to copy/backup any important data on the SD (if that is needed or even possible at this point) before formatting. Since formatting will erase all data on the SD.

The first time you try to save a file (or create folder) in ES Explorer, does the file selector appear (and lets you select the SD card)?

Strange. I haven't had this problem. Do you happen to have another SD card to try?
Stock ROM, or any mods?
