Hi
I had an Atrix and used it for three months, then the internal memory (SD area) seemed to corrupt - I could not format or unmount it or access anything in there apart from copying files with Astro or ES File Manager. Even a full factory restore of the phone did not delete any of the data on the Internal SD (or Media Area). Ended up getting rid and getting an Optimus 3D.
Now, had the 3D for a month and can't believe I am having a similar problem. Android market apps kept disappearing on boot up (this is what started before), and randomly they would be there or not on each reboot. I moved some files using file manager from the internal to the external SD to create some room and my phone got stuck in a boot loop so I had to remove the battery and external SD for it to work again. Then, all of the apps on the internal sd instead of their icons had the android sd symbol and when clicked on say 'application not installed on phone'. When I look at the Sd and memory storage, the internal SD is nearly full still! I can't access it, can't factory reset it, or delete data. Surely there is some way of sorting this without yet another handset - it's gotta be a fixable glitch? In desperation rooted phone with Superoneclick which was really easy but doesn't help me because I can download from the market, etc, but can't actually install - I am stuck in the install 'candybar' for ages and it just won't work. I thought of manually deleting all of this stuff but I can't get a file manager onto the phone and the factory reset wiped out ES and Astro, I can't get them back on in the usual way.
Because I have root access now, I presume I may be able to use ADB through my PC to sort this problem - but of course would need exact commands etc, on how to do this through the command prompt? I am not an expert but think I just need to get rid of the carp on my internal SD which must have a corrupt file somewhere. Please help urgently, it is frustrating beyond belief and I almost feel like going back to Apple!!!!

Im having real problems with my Nexus S on 2.3.4 rooted
When I start it up I just get constant force close messages from a load of apps, including system apps. I cant use the phone at all because everything crashes. I've not really made any changes apart from manually flashing the 2.3.4 update and thats been running stable for about a week
I figured I would try and flash a new ROM and/or go back to stock 2.3.1 ROM which I found in the forums here to fix it but whatever I save to my SD Card does not appear in clockwork recovery when I select "Install from zip"
I then tried to copy the ROM again which was showing on the phone through windows explorer, then when I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in, the file had disappeared and any files/folders I created on the SD Card have gone.
Any help would be much appreciated
edit*
All of the apps crashing seem to complain about the database. Im getting SQLiteExceptions from everything, either unable to find file or cannot write to a read-only database
I've tried to lock/unlock the boot loader, wipe everything via recovery (clockwork and stock) and factory resets but everytime i restart, its always the same as if i haven't wiped and the errors keep on coming
grateful for any help
i think these problems are all linked to being unable to save to the sdcard/internal storage. Is there a way to flash a rom without using the internal storage? say have it linked to the PC and do it from there?

This is a GUI for ADB a graphical front end. You can use it to push/pull some apk to your phone if ya need to. Hope this helps in some way.
Previously I was using cm9, after that I upgraded to cm10. I wiped data, wiped cache in cwm recovery.
After that, I tried xfering some files over to my tab, it looked like this

From this picture, it can be seen that my internal memory has files and is not empty
yet when I enter the folder
i. imgur.com/Mn7lR.png
Completely empty, cant be seen.
Even after trying to copy and paste files in, only the new files appear, can no longer find my old files.
Can anybody help me? same thing for the SD card. SD card only detected when I removed and plugged in with external usb card reader to my pc.
(I can't post images yet, hopefully someone with >10 posts can hotlink it for me).
Really urgent because I have to use it for my lecture notes in school.
If you want a workaround on this issue, you can use a cloud storage app. For example, dropbox (go to my signature and click the dropbox logo) can allow you to transfer files without even plugging your Xoom into your computer
Managed to solve the issue by doing a complete memory wipe on my internal hard disk but backing up important files before hand w dropbox as the files are still accessible with astro.
No idea how this happened though.
It's called MTP. Hahahaha in other words windows sucks.
Really what happens is the file list directory isn't updated so it doesn't show up on explorer. I don't even use explorer, I just use ADB push or pull.
I followed the folder tree properly, i think. its on my external under clockworkmod/backup/<folder with date>
I did find the option to write new backups onto the external, but that has "mnt" in the folder tree... its under "mnt/sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup"
So i think i did it right??
I was hoping to keep the backups only on the external, freeing up some of the internal space. I did delete the oldest one off of the phones internal memory and went into recovery and it could only see the newest one - the one still on the internal. *but* i did check this before finding and changing the setting for the program to write new backups to external. would that make a difference??
Also, using rom manager and saying reboot into recovery used to work. But i had something weird happen where my phone randomly said it was not installed anymore. so i redownloaded it, and since then, when i click on reboot into recovery, it does nothing. i push ok and it will just freeze on that screen, giving me the ability to press home and it returns to the main screen as though no command has been made.
help??
I had that uninstall itself thing also happen with "gasbuddy"... not sure what caused that either.
anyone?
So i have kind of a situation,
i'm running cm-11-20141102-NIGHTLY-mint.
So, yesterday, i erased my internal storage (in Xperia T a.k.a SD card 0), to renew my device a little bit.
But after that i literally can't do almost anything. My camera crashes as soon as i start it, gallery says there isn't any external storage, can't make screenshots, can't put stuff into the phone. When i try to put something via usb trough my computer it says that the device stopped responding or was disconnected and when i try it strough the phone file manager it says that can't be done and that i need more permissions which is impossible because i already have all r/w permissions.
I'm kind of desesperate right now. I tried to wipe all the data, syste, storage, cashe. Tried to reflash my rom to different one. Even ran some permissions fixes. But nothing worked.
Forgot to mention, there isn't anything on the internal storage right now except the foulder lost+found which seems empty and the clockworkmod folder into, which is weird, can put things.
Is there someone who run into the same issue ?
