Hi there, I am definitely a beginner so please go easy on me.
Background: I have a Bell Htc one m8 that I have rooted ( I can confirm this by the fact that root checker says I am even after doing a factory reset)
Problem: I am trying to instal Sunshine to get s-off but, i am running into the problem that I cannot seem to get the file onto my phone in any way. When I try to use dropbox I get the error "Storage full or unavailable" , when I try to install from the Sunshine website i get "No SD card: An SD card is required to download downloadfile.apk" and when I try to HTC Sync, it just freezes and needs to be force quitted (I am on a mac). I have also tried to use bluetooth but the file wont send because of an "unsuccessful transfer error."
SO, I am not sure what I did wrong along the way.. but I know its something. I have tried to retrace my steps by doing a recovery in TWRP but the issue remains. I have tried cleaning up my cache using the factory reset function in TWRP with the problem persisting when i get the phone set up.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!

Hello Everyone!
I just rooted using UnRevoked 3.0. I was installing apps on to sd card and suddenly (while installing free spades from Market) the phone just sat there at "Installing spades" and never completed. Even worse now NOTHING installs. Not even the OTA Sprint voice mail upgrade app. What I did notice is that I can't format the SD card, the option button is grayed out. When I try to unmount the card I get this error:
"Sorry! Activity SD & phone storage (in Application Settings) is not responding."
I have the option to FC or wait and if I try and wait, the message just loops. Is there ANYTHING ANYONE can tell me about this. Please, please help!!!!
Try restarting the phone and see if that helps.
restarting doesn't work, re-running Unrevoked doesn't work. I don't know what else to do. Am I just app-less now?
It happens. Sometimes it takes a few hours to go back to normal, at least in my experience. Is it working for you yet?

I encountered a problem similar to this with my Evo. Basically the card stopped working and said I need to format it, but then it wouldn't let me actually format it. I contacted HTC and apparently they had a "bad batch" of the cards and they'll replace it for free, when they have some in stock. My advice would be to contact HTC or Sprint.
Not working yet. But one thing I forgot about is that after I rooted it I also installed "Choose install" from the Market and set the default to the storage card. I wonder if I should try and unroot my phone. I'm stuck there to because if I understand things right I would have to access my sd card to load a new zip file on it in order to unroot. My pc will no longer let me browse my device.

Thanks for the tip. That could be why I can no longer browse the device from my pc. I will give that a shot. Thanks!

You will need access to an SD card to unroot. My advice would be to either buy another one or just borrow a friend's or something. Why do you want to unroot anyways?

I don't really want to, I just thought I would have to do that to try and go back to "stock" or if I'm using the word right, back to the way it was when I got it. I thought it might be my last resort to fixing it. I would still re-root again so I can try and figure out how to get rid of all of sprints bloatware.
Just an update - I bought me a new sd card from buy.com, a 16 gb for about $30. It fixed the problem for a little bit. I started installing my apps, got a good amount of them on there and it happened again! I'm starting to wonder if you just can't install very many apps for this phone or by some odd coincidence I got a 2nd bad storage card????. Weird. I might start a new thread for this but thanks for all you who participated. You rock!
when it's stuck on install can you go to your manage applications option in settings and see if they're all stuck on 'computing' too?
Because this sounds all too familiar.

I have the same issue (seems to have started after I started using modinstallocation). About one in ten times I'm able to get my sd card apps back after battery pulls and multiple reboots, but not this time. When I go to manage apps, all the SD card apps are 'computing'.

i got mine all back today. I wiped the Dalvic cache from clockwork mod, and everything came back after a reboot about 5 minutes later.
Hey there,
i'm using my DHD since 3 months now but i never tried htc locations.
today i wanted to try it..but it said the files are too old and i needs to be updated.
ok - no problem.
i clicked update and it downloaded the files.
but when my phones tries to install the location files i get the error message that the "SD Card is provided write only" (dont know how to translate it correctly )
so what am i doing wrong?
should i reformat my sd card? i'm afraid of loosing apps like doodle jump or something else.
any advice?
thanks in advance,

push!

puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush

It must have said that your sdcard is read only...Are you rooted or completely stock?
You can first try to reboot your DHD and see if that helps. Else the ultimate option is to try formatting sdcard. You can always backup your data and place them as they are...
yeah i'm 100% stock
reboot doesnt work, so it seems that i need to format the sd card and put the files back there.
or should i first try to delete the Location files? btw: where can i find them?
so there's no problem when formatting it and putting files back on it again? no problems with apps or so?

For data, as long as the paths are ok, it should not be any problem. But i do not know about the installed apps (with app2sd) as i have never tried it (but i m guessing it would be ok as well). You can easily download locations from within the app itself.
gonna give it a try
if anything goes wrong, i'll claim you for doing it

ok i just checked and repaired the SD-Card with Windows 7.
works now.

Hey there,
I have a problem with my fairphone (FP1). I recently used it with the ROM provided by chrmhoffmann (thanks for that!) but as I will use the dual SIM function more intensively in the future I decided to go back to official ROM.
I downloaded and flashed it from my SD card. It started and seemed to work until I reinstalled some of my apps (including Xposed). The phone got stuck in a bootloop afterwards, but I could still do a factory reset and it would work again. Unfortunately I had to do this a couple of times.. Don't remember what happened exactly, but I also flashed it again from my card.
At one point this didn't work any longer. My SD card is not recognized any longer, I cannot install anything. I tried a different card and fat32 but no success.
I therefore tried to sideload with adb but the installation always fails immediately. Somewhere I've read that someone had a similar issue caused by missing executing permissions - but I don|t know how to check that without booting.
Next thing I tried was to flash with the flash tool. I have version 5.1320. If I open the scatter files from the offiial ROM I downloaded from fairphone.com I get an error because it's missing some files. ("Item[1] PRELOADER: File not found" etc.)
It would be great if anybody could help me with this scatter file thing and explain me how to check this permissions thing!
i wanted to install new stock rom from here but fastboot wont install it so i went to twrp and tried to flash it from there but during flashing twrp just rebooted itself and saying installation wasnt sucessful, i figured this is due to S-On but prior to flashing it i did possibly the stupidest thing, i went to ADVANCED WIPE and wiped every option on the list(dalvik,system,data,internal storage,cache) except for micro sdcard ofcourse. i then went to FIX PERMISSIONS and stupidly select the ALSO FIX SELINUX CONTEXTS. when those done i then went and install another image which is on the sdcard that i downloaded from here E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip . the installation went well and rebooted itself and got to the homescreen and whatnot. but the troubles came when i tried to install apps from playstore and it gave me all kind of errors known to man, even going into file manager to access the internal storage gave me problem it says something along ACCESS IS DENIED or CANT ACESSS EMULATED OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. when i opened chrome to download something the browser just crashed because apparently it wont able to access the emulated storage. yeah i fcked up badly here. dont know whatelse to do.
see below of the files that i currently have in my external microsd card:
E9pw_Android5.0_Sense70_E1.zip -WORKS
open gapps arm64 android 5.0 stock
RUU 0PJXIMG_A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.7 07.2 - DONT WORK
0PJXIMG_A55ML_DTUL_L50_SENSE70_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.7 07.2 - DONT WORK
Thanks!
Got it fixed! by going to TWRP-->WIPE-->FORMAT DATA and reinstall the ROM. if anybody experiencing the same problem please do the same.

Yesterday I bought a htc one m9 from someone, and right when I arrived to my house I factory reseted via twrp but I'm dumb or something and I deleted the OS. I was searching in this forum and I found some good custom roms, and I managed to install one of them without a sd card. The thing is that the m9 boots and everything, I can even call with it and open the factory installed apps, but when I want to download something from google play it says "waiting for wi-fi" and when I try to download something from chrome it says "no sd card found, do you want to download it to the preset location?" and it only gives the option "downloads" but in gray and shows "not enough space". Aaaand when I enter the file explorer there are only 2 folders: Android and twrp.
I need your help please guys.

which custom rom you installed? sounds like a permission-issue maybe
