[Q] Can't Anyone Help ???

I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.

If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.

Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.

If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=851657
Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0

I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps

Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!

[Q] tablet erases any new file on reboot??

Hey everyone,
So I got my tablet today and have been working on it for the past 8 hours!! I finally got CWmod on it and running. Had a nightmare of a time getting it to work correctly and after using NVFLASH to nuke the whole tablet and install the stock ROM, then updating i was able to get CWmod to run. Now I'm having a really odd issue.
I can boot into CWmod. I repartitioned the SD card, mounted it. I can see the device in windows but when I add ANYTHING to the internal SD card it is completely gone once I reboot the device. I'm trying to get a ROM on it but it's like the drive is locked or something really weird. It copys onto the tablet just fine. the second I reboot everything is deleted.
I feel like I'm missing something here. I had that issue with it when I ran the stock ROM. I could change something and it would not stick after a reboot. For example registering my device on kindle and then downloading books. as soon as I reboot the machine it's as if i never registered it. I'm really at a loss as to what to do with this. I can't seem to get it to save anything on the internal storage.

Well after fiddling with it for a while longer I'm about to give up. I used NVFLASH to get it to the stock ROM again. updated to 3588 and yet again, I can't get any changes to stick. I can change anything and everything on it while it's powered on. The second I power it off and reboot it nukes everything I did (and takes close to 5-6 minutes to boot). I even mounted it and deleted every single file on the internal storage. They all came back upon reboot. I reformatted the entire SDCARD, I reformatted all the user data, did a cache wipe.. nothing works. I'm wondering if my unit is defective? at this point I would love to just have a tablet that I can actually use. I can't understand how it's even possible to not be able to make any changes on the device unless it's reinstalling the ROM everytime I reboot?

What version of CWM are you using and how did you install it?

I was running CWM 8. I couldn't install it via the internal storage. It would boot into recovery mode and "install" but once the machine rebooted it would not boot into CWM. I tried it several times same deal. I could install it but once it rebooted, nothing :/..
So I had to use the micro SD card to install it. I edited the recovery command file and pointed it to the SDCARD2. It installed finally, and stuck!
I tried using the microSD card to install the other ROMs. But unfortunately it will not mount in CWM.
I'm trying to get CWM back on it after doing yet another wipe with NVFLASH. We'll see if I can get it to work..
So i'm basically sitting here with a brick.. unless I never power it off lol!

Ok well another odd thing is going on with this. I'm up and running with CWM 08 again. I can turn on USB mass storage mount. The tablet shows up in windows and on my linux box. I can make whatever changes I want, adding files, deleting everything on it. Nothing matters cause once I unmount and remount the device it's all back to normal. It seems like nothing is allowed to write to the internal storage even though it thinks it does write to it??

[Q] All apps keep Force Closing, can't save to SD card

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?

sdcard wont format

i have a odd issue.
Last night the MIUI 1.10.7 ROM froze up with trinity kernal. After the reboot trinity kernal on boot screen kept freezing.
I did a full whipe re-installed MIUI 1.10.7 flashed nertchy and i was good to go.. once booted up as apps where getting restored from the market random crashed started and now everything force closes.
that is not the issue.. the issue is that i want to do a full whipe again.. how ever i can not do anything with sdcard. i have tried every possible format method and coping files to sdcard...
all it ends up is restoring the files and the file that i have copied to sdcard is gone wth :S
i can boot the system back to what it was even when i re-flash it over again still same system there trying to download files and crashing..
i have reached the end i dont know what it possible could have changed :S
help?

You could try and lock the bootloader and unlock it again. That might reset everything and get it working for you again. I had a problem with the SD card and I wasn't able to mount it in CWM to access any files so I locked and then unlocked the bootloader and everything has been working great again

no go.
earlier i tried pushing some files to sdcard using adb successfully. this only lasted until the phone was rebooted out of recovery and files where back to w/e they where before.
i pushed an filed called update.zip tried flashing.. as if i never tried.
what it seems to me like is that the whole system is preventing updates/changes to the system :S :S
no matter what i try to do to reinstall or format it goes back into its old form with exact same files and exact same problems..
basically unable to flash and delete :S:S

have you went to storage in setting menu and hit erase then erase everything?

yes,
i have tried all of the following:
- factory reset from settings
- unmounted sdcard and formatting from settings
- delete files using file explorer (deleted them but comes back on reboot)
- uninstalling application (error occurs)
- moving application to sdcard from internal storage (not enough space error occurs)
- doing factory reset using cwm
- doing individual deletes using cwm
- creating backup using cwm (error occurs, cant get chm5)
- locking/unlocking bootloader
- mounting sdcard to pc and deleting files (same thing files delete until reboot then restore)
- adb remount (remounts nothing happens)
- adb push file, i can push a file and its only there until phone reboots
- installing pushed file update.zip (miui 2.1.x) installs but still goes back to corrupted miui 1.10.7..
i don't remember what else i have tried. every time file deletes it comes back after reboot. as well as the system.
i can flash a new recovery mod and it will stick but nothing in terms of deleting files or installing new system files.

new development.. i have tried installing update.zip from fastboot menu
and this is what happens:
sending 'system' ... Okay
writing 'system' ....failed (remote: write fail)
it almost seems as if i lost all write access.. is there a way to fix this?
(fix permissions does not fix this problem)
cheers,

as the Nexus s has no actual physical SD card but it purely refers to the storage partition, I am guessing you have some how corrupted the partitions settings and possibly damaged the memory as well, i have also seen from other threads where this issue is nearly identical that the PCB board being changed fixed the problem.
sorry to say either way your Nexus S may need to go under the knife,

hmm, this was the last day i played with it...
i'll have a look tomorrow for a bussins that will take it and try to fix it
cheers, for all those who tried to help.

[Q] Help - Can't do anything with my internal storage - Xperia T

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 ?
