Samsung Galaxy SII all of a sudden write protected? - General Questions and Answers

Hey everyone, I have a a Galaxy s2 running ICS with Andyx rom 9.0 (have been running this for 3 weeks or so just fine) and today all of a sudden I just connected my usb cable as always to add some music...and the internal memory is write protected? I have not changed ANYTHING at all anywhere, no new kernel flashing, no new rom flashing, no settings changed on the root or anything...nothing's changed and I was able to write to and delete from the internal SD no problem.
I also tried deleting some of the files that I wanted to delete from the phone itself and it won't delete them...it doesn't give an error message or anything at all!
Anyone know a solution and why this is happening? the only change I made was install GoLauncher EX, but that shouldn't change any of those settings right? I'm not even using it right now...
Any help would be appreciated and sorry for the long post!

[Q] [ROM] Clemsyn's Ultimate 6 ROM missing "My Cloud"?

I know that this would be better served in his thread, but I'm a newby to posting althought I got one of the first Transformers, but I have just installed Clemsyn's new Ultimate and "My Cloud" seems to be missing. Just wondeing if anyone else has had this issue.
I have formatted everyting and of course formatted my external SD card in the process which of course had my titanium backup.. but I digress..
Anybody else have this issue.
FYI I'm sure this is just me and Clemsyn's Roms are the best in my opinion.. They make this thing fly.
I just did a factory reset and then re-installed a fresh download of his ROM so I'm now thinking it's just not me but that it's supposed to be gone? I really liked that Asus was including that..
Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Open the stock zip up and look for the apk in /system. Pull the APK and put it on the TF and install it
Thank you very much for the quick response..
I downloaded the firmware and of course it hasn't been broken down so that you can edit it so I was unable to get to a /system folder.
Downloaded prime 1.9.1 and saw the .apk located there.
I enabled side loading to install it and when I try I get the blurb screen that says it's going to modify stuff and then I get
X Application not installed.
Any ideas? I PM'ed Clemsyn and haven't heard back yet, but I can only think this was excluded by accident as I wasn't able for find a reference for it.
Any ideas on how I can get it installed?
Thanks again.
Ha.. Saying that you have to install that APK made this seem WAY more complicated than it is. You simply have to drop it into the App folder and reboot the device... So easy to do that I'm actually ashamed I had an issue with it. ;-)
FYI a You Tube video showed the very simple steps.
Thanks ;-)

[Q] Samsung Infuse Gingerbread 2.3.6 update caused camera and music player problems.

I recently updated my Samsung Infuse to the fairly new Gingerbread 2.3.6 update. It was a modded version I think, my brother applied it for me, it was suppose to come rooted (why I believe it's modded.) When I open my camera, it says, "camera failed" and I have to restart my phone to get it to work, which I shouldn't have to do. When I try to play my music it says something along the lines of 'music player cannot play this type of file' (i will post exactly what it says when I find out.) When I do restart phone it works fine for a few hours but then messes up again. I have had my Samsung Infuse since December, and had problems with the first one I had, it would say the Sim was inactive and it had a dead pixel (as does this one but I don't mind where it's at) and had it replaced and this is the first problem with this one. Please help me I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!!
How long ago was it updated, and can you find out for sure what rom was used to update the phone? I've used all of the stock based Gingerbread roms on here, and have never had any of the problems you describe.
Get us a little more information, though, and maybe we can help you troubleshoot. The camera problem sounds hardware related if you are in fact on a stock Gingerbread rom. Also, what type of music file are you trying to play?
My brother said it was just the stock rom with root added. It was applied just yesterday, and the music file are all MP3, And everything works perfectly fine after a reboot.
Sounds like something wasn't done right. Here's what I would do, because something is corrupt.
Back up all music files, etc. to your computer.
Go to this link for the package that I put together (It's nothing fancy, just the exact bits from Samsung / AT&T for UCLB3 Gingerbread with root added.):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1613523
Reinstall the package. After you follow ALL of the instructions there, including the ones for wiping user data and cache, let the phone boot.
Go to settings / sd card and phone storage / Format USB storage. Let it format.
If you've kept music files on the external sd card, format both the internal sd and the external sd. Be sure that you've saved anything you want to keep to your computer, because this will wipe these partitions clean.
After that, go to settings / privacy / factory data reset / reset phone and reset the phone to factory defaults.
Put your music and other files back on the phone.
I can't do a reset yet. I wait a little while to see if it fixes over time, if not, then I will do all that. Thanks for the help. I know you probably won't wait for that long, because it will be around a week or two, so thank you.
Could well be that he installed Dman's rooted stock Rom but didn't follow the instructions completely. After you install the rom, you need to flash the stock kernel. Here's his post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22775901&postcount=1
Does that sound like it could be the problem? You talk about music playback - I don't know the extent to which that could be a problem. Anyway, just a thought. Check in with other people here before you go flashing your kernel!

[Q] Samsung GT-N700 and AOKP build 40 (no sim/IMEI/network)

Yeah so I installed the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683879 after hard bricking my phone a couple of days ago. Now running with CWM 5.0.2.4 (I think) and above rom installed, everything works except I dont get prompted to insert any access code for my sim card, my IMEI isnt listed and ofcourse I get no network
I've re-flashed my modem drivers via ODIN just to be sure
So im kinda out of ideas.. Anyone with any thoughts?
(posted here since I cant post in the dev thread....)
EDIT: Browsing my /EFS dir with astro reveals it to be empty.. Have I deleted any files or are they hidden?
OK - SOLVED
I used the wrong "drivers" for the phones network capabilities, I tried flashing with an old GB driver while I was supposed to use an new ICS one
This site really helped me in finding the right stuff I need - samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7000
Thought I'd post this here for future reference if anyone else has the same problem

[Q] Force close and no wifi

The other day I factory reset my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus without backing it up.
F*ck that smilie face.
Anyways, when I first turned it on after the reset I received an error message stating "The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectadly. Please try again." This message comes up every time I power on my tab. I've tried fixing permissions with ROM Manager but both it and Superuser force close. I can no longer connect to any wifi, I know its the tab and not the router. I've tried open wifi at McDonalds, unlocked the wifi here and tried but still wouldn't connect, however my 360 connects to my home wifi just fine.
Before I reset the tab I know I deleted some stock apps like Browser and Samsung apps that came with it that I wasn't going to use and were taking up space, but that has been months ago and I haven't had any of these problems until I reset it.
When I rooted so I could try using ROM manager I used root.zip, and then downloaded the superuser.zip and installed both from my sd card, but I can't update the superuser binaries or grant superuser rights to any apps.
I'm not really sure what to do, my tablet is a mess. I was thinking just a clean install of 3.2 could fix most if not all issues but I can't find it anywhere online.
Any help is really appreciated.
I would flash a new rom, stock HC or ICS Austria doesn't matter.

ROM Manager will not work properly on the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, 7.7, or any other device.
1_Flash CWM recovery for p6200
2_Full wipe
3_Flash rom stock samsung with odin.
The only way to fix this is to repartition your phone with a .pit file that has been designed not to use the the corrupted sectors of your internal storage.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Remove your SD Card and SIM CARD Please
Run ODIN IN ADMIN Mode
a) Now you have to repartition your tab plus
b) Download the following (Importantly the .pit file)
Pit.file p6200.zip

I'm going to try this tonight when I have some more free time, thank you very much for the detailed reply. Does this mean that I will lose some internal storage space if parts are corrupted?

Yes, is correct. ....
Isn't that edited pit file repartitioning only needed if the tab has been bricked due to the "brick bug"...
I would suggest first just flash some stock firmware file (can be found for example on sammobile.com).
In case that doesn't work, then use the repartitioning.

I flashed a factory image of 3.2 with Odin and everything is perfect. I will be more careful from now on. Thanks all for the help.

Please insert a SD card... MotoG

OK guys, I've a little issues from my side so i'll like to have your point on it!
First of all, I'm not a noob, so if you have an answer to my lil' probleme, let's talk and dont be soft
I've a Motorola MotoG XT1032 using Infusion (JB) custom ROM... 3 days ago, I've install CM11 on my device! I'm not a big fan of KitKat so I've decide to go back on JB!
After the installation of Infusion, I've test everything (to be sure I've installed my ROM well and to be sure too I've the good GApps)
So, I deceide to re-install my apps... No probleme! When I'm trying to use the Camera, I receive the following error message:"Please insert a SD card"
Actually, the MotoG isin't using a external SD Card... So I go to the Storage Manager and everything work well... I still have 2GB available! So I deceide to take a quick look into my files manager and I found something:
Into root/storage, I've that
<code>
emulated
sdcard0
sdcard1
usbdisk_1.0
usbdisk_1.1
usbdisk_1.1.1
usbdisk_1.2
usbdisk_1.3
usbdisk_1.4
usbdisk_1.5
usbdisk_1.6
usbdisk_1.7
</code>
So... my question is:"Where my camera are saving their files?"
UPDATE: I can install apps without probleme... But I cant save information cuz it say the same error code!
Thank's
Chris
UPDATED:
I've try to change the permission of 2-3 folder in my root/storage and I've receive an "Permission error" like:"You don't have permission to make theses changes"
So I've try to add my Files Explorer app to the SuperUser accept list... Dosen't work!
So I start thinking something are wrong with my Root! I'm looking with RootChecker
SORRY, YOUR DEVICE ARE NOT ROOTED!
That's crazy to receive that kind of message when you'r using the RootChecker on a CustomRom
So, Idk if thats probleme are linked to my "Please Insert your SD Card" but I'm going to root my cellphone again with Sideloader!
If anyone have a solution or want to share their experance, feel free to answer!
