Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy S i9000 running a Jellybean 4.1 custom ROM. androidadvices. com/ update-galaxy-gt-i9000-stable-jellybean-411-firmware/#.UDJOV91mT9d
Everything's working fine until today when my laptop (Win7 OS) froze up while I was formatting the internal sd card of my phone.I restarted the laptop and phone and the internal sd card cannot be detected by either device anymore.
I tried to format the sd card multiple times to no avail. I tried to flash stock GB ROM. ODIN can detect the phone but cannot complete the process. It fails on "Setting Up Connection".
Up to the above process I was able to use my phone (it turns itself on, just can't use internal sd card). However, I made a stupid mistake of doing factory reset, cache wipe, and dalvik cache to reflash the JB ROM in hopes that it will fix it. Now, my phone is stuck on the Welcome screen (one with Choose Language and Start to setup) but the touchscreen isn't working so I can't select Start. The buttons on either side of the center button works, though. Only the touchscreen function is not working.
Now obviously, USB Debugging is not set up on my phone so I can't do a lot. My first question is: Is there a way to setup USB Debugging using ADB or from Recovery?
Additional info:
Recovery and Download mode are both working, although like I mentioned above, I cant reflash stock ROM because of no usb debugging and it fails in Odin. File Manager can be accessed from Recovery but it has no internal sd card directory. External sd card is ok, though, as well as the system files. But cannot install from internal sd card (obviously), cannot format sdcard, or do anything that has something to do with sdcard. It gives an error "E:\ can't mount sdcard"
When I connect the phone to the computer via USB, the phone "knows" that it is connected because the notification beep sounds and on Computer, it shows a new drive name (F but it says "Please Insert a disk into Removable Disk F.", which I believe, means it can detect it but cannot mount the storage.
I can also use adb.
So my questions are:
-How do I get the touchscreen functionality back?
-How can I enable my internal sd card to be mounted on the phone again?
-(same as above) How do I enable USB Debugging from adb or recovery?
I know I have a lot of issues on my phone but I would really appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you.
Did you find a solution?

I'd like to start by saying I checked but couldn't find any similar threads to this issue I've been facing with my S3. I believe it to be a global issue since samsung did away with needing drivers to mount internal and external storage on their phones to just having the device showing up as a media device to simplify the user experience.
My question is that short of encrypting the phone and SD card (for those of us who don't have any incriminating or secret information on our phones but want at least a screen-lock's level of security), is there a way to prevent your phone from automatically attaching to any computer it's plugged into via internal storage and SD? Otherwise, I don't see a point in using a screen lock. Anyone can steal this phone, plug it into a computer, and have full access to all of your files.
Again please redirect this post if a thread currently exists. Such a security hole makes me nervous, granted I am rooted and use avast's defense module to safeguard a lost phone predicament. Thank you everyone!
With PIN lock, I can't access the contents of the int/ex SD card until I unlock the phone once.
Check your phone settings again. When my phone is locked (pin/face/etc), if I were to plug it into a PC, it detects the device but does NOT allow access to internal memory or SD card.
Yeah, when I connect via usb to my computer i have to drag the notification bar down and click on mount usb. When the screen is licked obviously you can't do that until you unlock it.

Hello..
I just developed a flashable zip to unlock from recovery any android mobile
tested in ONe m8
download antilock. Zip
put it in your sdcard or Microsd
flash
enjoy
Very important warning:Note : If You See The Gesture Pattern Grid Or Password After Restarting, Just Try Anyting
Hope it will help
thank you
:D
hello and thanks a lot for your help . I will try to morow morning and come back to you
not working on samsung
Not working on general mobile discovery and other old phone. I think that this works only with ONE M8
I am trying to use this to bypass a pattern lock on a Samsung Galaxy s6 Active and have been unable to do so. The phone does not have an internal Micro SD slot, so I have tried it with a dual adapter flash drive (micro sd) an On the Go cable to a flash drive, and a micro SD card reader to no avail.
Each of these things shows up on the screen if I am in normal mode, though I can't access them, of course, because it is locked.
However, in Recovery mode, if I select "Apply update from SD card" it says "Couldn't mount / sd card. Installation aborted."
If I select "mount / system" it says "Couldn't mount / sd card. Installation aborted. Mounted system."
What am I doing wrong? Please, if anyone can help me I would be deeply grateful and even happy to pay you.
Is this how you "flash" something?
Desperate... really need the data on my phone and can not do a factory reset.
Thank you!
It's working like a charm on my Note 3 with my flash drive (I used the otg cable) and no root needed. I've been going crazy since I've tried so many ways like Android Device Manager or another zip file. YOU SAVED MY LIFE haha thanks man
I have read many threads on this topic and they all have solutions to this problem, but none of them are working on my phone.
Ever since my phone upgraded to 6.0.1, all of my apps were moved back to the internal storage. I no longer have any option at all to move my apps to the SD memory card.
I tried to root my phone to bypass this issue (as Google seems unwilling to fix it), but whenever I try to root my phone, it either fails, or says that it cannot be done. I have tried Kingroot, KingoRoot, iRoot, TWRP, Kingo, and various other methods. Evidently, there is no way to root this phone.
I am not sure if this is a LG K10 issue or just 6.0.1. I have a friend with a Samsung J7 and they have the same problem.
Ideas?
The apps cannot be moved to SD card without using apps like link2sd (root required) or using adoptable storage (android 6+) feature. Actually apps can be moved without this but a number of conditions need to be met so very small apps can be moved in case you even have option built in, vut app data can't be moved without theese two solutions mentioned above.

The problem is that my previous android phones had the ability (depending on the individual app) to move the app to the SD card. Since the release of 6.0.1, that option went away. I checked on every app on my phone, the option is flat-out gone.

You can't root your phone yet with Android 6.0.1.

That is readily obvious, but still not a solution. This bullsh*t about not being able to move apps to my sd card is not unique to me. I have been reading dozens of accounts from other people with the same exact problem. It is also not unique to the LG K10 phone as friend with a Samsung J7 has the same problem.
Since rooting 6.0.1 is not yet possible, is there a way to roll back to 6.0?

Do you have the KDZ firmware file for 6.0? If yes then you can rollback to 6.0 using my guide.

OK, I had to replace my SD card because I have big clumsy hands and I broke it. I have also decided to reset my device to the factory defaults just in case that was causing my problem. So now we are starting with a brand new blank Sandisk 32GB Class 10 SD card and a fresh install of the Android 6.0.1 operating system.
I went to the link you suggested and started with the process. My phone is plugged in and I selected "File Transfer" from the phone so that my computer sees it. I opened a command window on Windows 10 (Yes I have adb installed and running already) and typed "adb shell" and I get the following result.
C:\Users\Charles>adb shell
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

Did you enabled usb debugging in developer options?
Maybe you'll need adb drivers for your device.

I have "Developer Mode" turned on. I went into those settings and "USB Debugging" is greyed out. I cannot select it. How do I turn it on?
I was recently given instructions on "Formatting as Internal" on my Marshmallow Android phone.
1. Go to device “Settings”, then select “Storage”.
2. Select your "SD Card", then tap the “three-dot menu“ (top-right), now select “Settings” from in there.
3. Now select “Format as internal”, and then “Erase & Format”.
4. Your SD Card will now be formatted as internal storage.
5. Reboot your phone.

- "Storage" is actually "Storage & USB"
- When I select the SD card and then hit the three dot menu in the upper-right corner, I get two menu options: "Grid View" and "Settings". When I select "Settings", I get two options: "Eject" and "Format". When I select "Format", I am not given any options at all. There is no "Format as Internal" option.
Ideas?

Well, then you are screwed, I don't know why is debugging grayed out, manufacturer done that probably.
Without adb you can't set up adoptable on k10 because lg didn't implement option in setting. Maybe you'll be able to adopt if you root, but that is not possible at the moment as far as I know.

OK, it turns out that if you have your device plugged into the usb, your USB Debugging option is greyed out. Now I have USB Debugging active.
I successfully have Adoptable Storage working on my my phone. Now I can move my apps to the SD card. In fact, apps are automatically installing there. I cannot access the sd card directly anymore. I go to the File Manager and it does not even list the sd card at all. When I plug my phone into my computer, the SD card does not show up anymore. This leads me to two questions:
1. How do I access the card to move pictures and music to it?
2. Is there a way to have the adoptable storage only take up part of the SD card and the other part, public storage?

I have adopted whole adopted whole sd card and then in file manager if you migrated data on adopted card you'll se only one partition depending on which storage data is migrated
1. If you want to use adopted memory as primary then go to settings>storage and open adopted card then tap on 3 dot menu and migrate data. In that case when you plug pgone to pc via usb it will show you the only adopted sd it won't show internal memory.
2. Yes it is. On article I send you there is explained how to do that.

Thank you. That worked perfectly.
Hello Group,
I am unable to access the sd card on my S1. I have tried the tips I can find online like formatting the card but nothing seems to work, I continue to receive
"grant access to sd card error "messages.
I have spent a week searching but can't find a fix.
I want to be able to insert an sd card by otg and copy photos to an sd card inserted into the tab. Do I need to root the tablet for this to work?
Thanks for your time
Model # SMT700
Android version 6.0.1
Kernel 3.4.39
Does it show up in the device storage in settings? Is the capacity correctly read?
Is it an error message, or is it just wanting you to follow some steps? It should pop up the default file manager. Then you need to go to the SD card and hit select.
Hello , thanks for the reply.
Yes it shows up in file manager and I can format it. Some file managers I have tried can select it and create a directory on some cant. Both the programs
I want to use say to select the card but then come up with the error message card not selected.
The programs I want to use work fine on a LG phone with a later firmware. So It must be a Samsung Issue or Marshmellow issue I think.

Have you used this file manager to access the internal SD card before? Usually that dialog is for the internal sd card, and not otg.
Can you record a video of what you are doing?
