SD Card not writeable - the usual fixes aren't working - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

I know this is a common thing, and I'm used to dealing with it myself just fine - but this iteration has me completely stumped. I'm on RR, Sprint firmware, have everything working perfectly, except SD card is not writeable. I can move things around in Solid Explorer, but I can't use TiBu or any other app that writes to it. Rom Toolbox wouldn't let me change permissions, I messed around with SuperSU, it appears that my root is working fine just the SD card being lame. This is the first time I've dealt with this on the 10.
Any ideas what I can do?

Thanks J, I will give that a shot and report back when I can. Had to actually RUU and start over to get my data connection back so, it's sadly a moot point now. Thanks for the help!

App installer not working after root PLEASE HELP!!!

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.

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'.

[Q] After chmod 755, system still won't mount as R/W.....

Alright, I'm running CyanogenMod 11 with TWRP as my recovery. When I try to change my build.prop it tells me that the action is not allowed because the system folder is mounted as Read only and not as R/W. I have tried using the chmod syntax 755 while in recovery but, after rebooting nothing has changed. Using my file manager (Solid Explorer) I have tried changing the permissions to be R/W by using the same chmod syntax. What have I done or am I doing wrong? I have never crossed this issue before with any other ROM or phone and I would like to add some additional speed and smoothness tweaks to the ROM build.prop. Have I tried another ROM to see if the same thing continues to happen? Nope, I sure haven't. If I did though and something magically changes to where it would begin working using another ROM, I still would not know how to fix the issue that I'm faced with now. Will ya please help? Thank you for your time in advance as well!
The drive isn't being mounted by solid Explorer as read/write. I'm not familiar with the app so can't explain how to do it but it may be in the options somewhere or a button on the screen.
You could try es file Explorer. It's free and works for me.
-> Sent from my mind to your screen.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
Well, I just tried ES File Explorer and it said that I'm mounted as R/W on my system folder, same as it did on Solid Explorer, yet once I try to alter anything I still receive the same "Operation Failed......System Mounted as Read Only" message. I have even switched ROM's to see if maybe, just maybe, it was some sort of CM 11 bug. Everywhere I look online says to correct it through my recovery and since that doesn't work..........? I'm at a bit of a loss now! I have granted both file managers Superuser rights. Hell my Superuser auto-response is always set to grant all apps that permission. And as far as the form of Superuser I'm using goes, I'm just sticking with the CM stock Superuser because whenever I attempt to use SuperSU all sorts of stuff begins to fail.
Is your SD card formatted as FAT32....or EXFAT...???
Needs a possible format again it sounds like....IMHO..g

Haven't thought about it possibly being my SD's format being that I am trying to access my systems files (i.e.- build.prop, system apps, etc.) and not the external SD Card, but what the hell?! I reckon I can always give it a shot. Could very well be that simple since I just dropped $100.00 on a stupid Lexar 64 Gig. Micro SD about the same time this issue arose. Hope so even if i do end up feeling like a dumb ass later on. It's getting annoying! I've tried several different ROM's, file managers, running syntax in the emulator, and anything else I could dig up now and this isn't quite my first Android experience, still relatively new though, so I know I'm not flashing anything wrong or outta the ordinary. Give me bit to take care of some every day life crap and I'll report my findings back to ya.
Dead serious, I did not do anything different whatsoever and it began to allow me to change permissions on my system files or whatever else I wished to do to it......?! No Earthly idea what was/did go on for it not to allow me to for the time it didn't, but outta nowhere, as I said, it is working again. I did wipe and flash numerous ROM's without any luck and even had flashed the one that it is working on now, but it didn't work the first or second time I flashed it. Never even got the chance to reformat my SD Card. Hell, I don't know.....!

Running Jellywiz Extreme Rom 4.3 for my Note 2 on Verizon, and ever since i updated it to 4.3 on an unstable original ROM (Davidson3680's OG 4.3 ROM pre-2014), i havent been able to mount system as R/W.
I keep coming back to the possibility that in both of these recent cases that the file structure is somehow corrupted...
A possible 4.3 return to stock using Zen Arcades 4.3 stock rom may correct the file issues and restore the external functionality...
I'm still perplexed about the differences in flashing success based on whether or not a user has taken an official 4.3 update versus a user who has not...and the variables in function using the exact same software's...
The Zen thread method seems to be the stable and reliable way back to full function...or at least the best way to build the file structures back within their respective partitions...
We are playing very near the partition level...but I don't think it's a partition/pit issue....rather the broken file structure inside...
I'd be interested in the results of that test using Zen's files in the attempt to repair the files...and path to the SD...
If you are willing to try that...and meet success...it would solve a good half dozen device issues across different users in one pass....g

[Q] Data recovery on Xperia S (rooted)

Hi all,
Just wanted to start by saying, big thanks to DooMLoRD and the rest of the xda-developers forum for providing me the tools to get root access to a friends phone, who has recently accidentally deleted all their photos and videos. If we are successful, I'll definitely be suggesting that they make a donation to Doom for his epic contributions
I'm trying to help them recover the lost media. I know that typically performing data recovery on a phone requires root access, so I have gone ahead and done this. On with...
My question:
I've got an Xperia S running Jellybean (4.1.2) which is rooted. However attempting to use my data recovery tools on the phone, the device is not shown as a storage device. As you may well be aware, the S does not come with external storage. The S also has the 'mass storage mode' removed. Nice one Sony, give professionals another reason to avoid your products in the future...
I don't want to Flash the phone since any added files will start destroying the potentially recoverable data (plus I'd simply rather not format the phone if possible).
Is it possible to mount the internal storage of the Sony Xperia S as a drive so that I can run my PC based data recovery tools on it?
I imagine App Store apps are too lightweight to handle a file-based undeletion. If I could just see the device in my recovery apps I'm sure I'd be in business! I've attempted Recuva and R-Studio.
Doing some more research (like a good little n00b) I imagine I'm going to need SD Mounter.
I'm a little thrown off because 'SD' usually describes SD cards (of which the Xperia S has none). Also, the screenshots (for SD mounter) seem to indicate it's for ICS so I'm not sure if there's going to be a compatibility issue there.
Am I barking up the wrong tree by making this assumption? Should JellyBean have access to the mass storage and the option is simply not showing for some reason? Anyway, I'll continue working under my assumptions until someone suggests otherwise...
To get SD Mounter running, I'm going to need BusyBox. The problem is, I'm trying to read the BusyBox installation FAQ, and I'm finding it very vague. Like...
and save it under the name "busybox"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but it does not specify WHERE. Make a folder called 'busybox' on the root folder of the phone? Somewhere on my PC (the page suggests its for the PC rather than the phone)? Also I'm seeing Linux-looking command lines, but I'm on a PC... can I run this via the command prompt in Windows? I downloaded the 'binaries' like it said, but there aren't any executables in here...
Can anyone shed some light?
There's an app called BusyBox Installer, that installs it correctly on my Xperia S. That SD Mounter app works perfectly on 4.1.2, though. I use time to time. It just messes up a bit with Media Scanner, requiring me to do a reboot on the phone to make it work again.
I wish you lot of luck trying to recover your files. I once tried something like that, but came unsuccessful. There were some media I wish I had saved, but it wasn't THAT important, so I just gave up.
Suggest to your friend, though, to get an account on Mega, Box.net or Dropbox. All of them has auto backup of camera media to the server. All of them has options to backup only on WiFi, and even when charging only. The first two has 50 Gb of free storage for life (Box, you just need to sign with your Xperia device), and the later only 2 Gb, but you can get more and more with promotions.
Alternatively, he can enable the Google+ Auto Backup. There is 15 Gb (shared with Gmail and Google Drive) for pictures on original resolution or unlimited on 2048px, compressed. On Google+, though, you have the Auto Awesome, which make some awesome images.
Hope it helped. If I can help any further, just tag me

As I'm a lazy person, who can't find a way to break quotes into multiple parts (serious, how do you Do that, without having to write the quote code every time? It is not much, but I'm really lazy, so yeah.
Yep, that's the app. There's no reason for Google to block root apps. It's a function of the OS itself, just hidden from users. It's one of the easiest things to do on a Nexus device, after all. It's hidden because, if used without caution, can soft brick your device. But, don't worry, that shouldn't do any harm. At it least it hasn't with my device until now haha
As I said, I had already lost lots of stuff, and I didn't bothered much to go any further to recover it. It was a simply Install Recuva, run on the SD card and see if I could restore anything. Nothing? OK, no worries. As you already mentioned in your first post, avoid at all costs writing new files to the SD Card partition.
About the lecture, yeah, I imagined you had already told them, but it doesn't hurt to tell anyway.
About the SD Card on the Xperia S, another technical info you might or might not know, and also doesn't hurt to tell. Until Android 2.3, devices with a big internal storage required a partition for cache, one for data (apps and their own data), one for system, and one SD Card. The last one in Fat32 (plus others, but those are just too small and insignificant, for most, anyway) Think of a normal hard drive with plenty of partitions. Since Xperia S was developed (and launched) with 2.3 (one of Sony's biggest mistakes with this phone), it had to follow those "guidelines".
With Android 4.0 and beyond, the above mentioned data and SD Card turned into one partition, in Ext4 format. That data partition stores both apps and their data, and also other types of media, like media, documents, and etc. That storage goes into a mounted folder.
Anyway, again, wish you good luck. If they aren't very close friends/relatives, you should charge some money for all the hassle if you recover haha

Not in Xperia S case. As I said, it is on Fat32, so it is easily mount-able on Windows.
On any phone with Android 4.0 or more, you'd need a Linux to do the recovery. You can't format it, or else you will turn the device into a really expensive paperweight.

SdFix or not SdFix?

Hi,
my H815 is freshly and happily rooted, and i wonder if i have to install SdFix or not.
Do we have to do this on Lillipop?
on Google Play, SdFix says "for kitkat" and don't mention Lollipop.
What do you think?
Thanx for answers
I had to use it for some apps, so I say YES. Lollipop has the same regulations for the external SD like KitKat, so the apps have the same problems.

there was this thread some time ago by @TecknoFreak that explained how to fix that by editing the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file by hand, no need for an app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524277. he posted this in another thread but i cant remember now where i saw it
having said that, i cant remember if i used TB saving my backups to external before or after i made the change to my xml using the steps from the thread but i am pretty sure it was before. also the LG camera can write to ext_sd so dont know for sure this is needed. plus i just did a reflash of @MicroMod777 xTreme rom so it reset that file and i can still write to my ext_sd with TB and camera
oops...i take back part of this, i just now noticed the notification i got from TB that said my backup failed cause i did not have enough space to write the backup to, but the camera still saves to external
so i must have done the xml edit before i did TB, either way, i dont think you need an app for this. sure it might make it easier, but editing the file is not too bad to tackle either
I downloaded SDFix from Google Play (pretty sure it's the same one I used when KitKat first came out) and it reported that the app wasn't necessary.
EU H815 rooted with the recently released Low Effort Exploit (and not by unlocking the bootloader via LG's Dev site).
TiBu was one of the first apps I installed after rooting earlier this week, and it never had a problem backing up to my ext. SD card.

My edits should work just fine for TB backing up on external. I did the same edits to my H811 and works great. I was getting the same error as well and it got fixed after those edits that is just one line missing.
I rather change a line or 2 before installing an app to my phone but that is just me.
Specifically for TitaniumBackup, you just need to go to preferences and when selecting your backup folder, change the storage provider to DocumentProvider storage (Click above the DETECT button) and then navigate to your folder.
Works fine without any fixes.

Don't get the option to 'protect' backups though if you go this route. Only if you use the default setting with edited platform.xml file.

Same here, and this worked perfectly fine on my H815 (SEA version). Now I can actually let GoneMadMusicPlayer edit tags in my music collection.

Wiped Internal Everything, External SDcard won't mount (Showing 0mb) no adb detected

So I was trying to clean flash CM13. I wiped everything and went to maneuver to my external sdcard and lo and behold it isn't mounting. I take it out, back it up, format it. It still isn't showing up. Help. I have no OS installed, I can't push anything in download mode through adb. Please please please I feel stupid as can be.

I had the same exact problem. after I Unlocked the BL and SuperSu and TWRP through Odin I had no access to mine either. It started bootlooping due to kernel panic. I couldn't ABD push or ABD sideload. I just flashed N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME.tar through Odin and redid the Unlock process over again. there is also a kind of One Click method by jrkruse. I've not tried it yet myself. I did use his method on my GS5 though and it worked great.
A quick tip that I learned the hard way is to put any files you will need on your internal storage on your device. once you get all this done and get back to unlock BL and root i can help ya with the ext SD problem.
Good luck...

Alright, so how do I get the SDcard to show up in TWRP?
The next step will only work if you have installed Xposed Framework.
NOTE:
If you are someone who does not like or just doesn't choose to have Xposed installed, then this step will not work.
Lets go,
1.) Install Xposed Framework
2.) Download and install Wanap Xposed module
3.) Activate the module and reboot.
4.) Open Wanam and go to security hacks and check the box for SDcard RW permission, then reboot.
There may be other ways of going about the sd write/mount fix, but this method worked for me.
So..... what is the fix for the SD problem? And what is the next step? ....
I have the same issue, SD Card works fine while booted, but TWRP cannot mount it. It doesn't even see it. I'm confused, because DerangedLoofah acted as if it worked XD and then suddenly asks how to get it to show up ._.
Apparently I'm very confused.
EDIT: Seems doing the same thing I originally did (Reformating my SD card) worked. It just needed to be formatted again.. What even?

I had the same problem. What I did was using my computer, reformat my SD card to exFAT, and then back to FAT32. I could then flash CM13 from the SD through TWRP.
