Hello I have been trying to use Android on Rhodium (Touch Pro 2, Tilt 2) Updated Build from the website. Project Android Rebuild: (I cant link to the site)
Here's my issue. I was installing the CAB file for Reference Build: Stock 2.2 Froyo
Now everything was working to a point. I would install it and I would have all the features and so forth, but I was stuck in airplane mode. After doing some digging on the site, I seen if I took out the SIM card I would catch my carrier (sprint). Everything was working fine. I was stoked. Then I ran out of program memory.. I found this odd as it was already on my memory card. I read that I had to use a program to move programs tot he sdcard inside android. seemed it was a little to late and once I downloaded a program to do it it corrupted some of the files which then I had to format my memory card.. Back to the drawing board.
So now it seems as the phone or the memory card isn't routed any more.. This is driving me insane. I still have the SIM card out. Would that be the issue why it isn't finding the SDCARD? I even had a backed up folder of where everything worked. I threw it on the SDCARD to see if I can trick the system some how, and to no avail the SDCARD wasnt coming up in the system options.. I am so stuck and cant figure it out.. If there is a alternitive way to do this please let me know, I find the CAB way to be the easiest as I never flashed a ROM before. Thanks in advance and thank you all for this great community!
51 views and not one reply? Has anyone had this problem?
So is it possible? I'm running Android 2.1-update 1. I've seen no posts whatsoever about the Citrus on here. I did find in Google search how to rip an installed app apparently to sd card but it still deletes it from my phone so no good to run. I'm running out of space on my phone storage so its becoming an issue to address. Thanks anyone. (Seems I got shafted not getting 2.2 factory installed as I hear its no problem for Froyo)
Hello All,
I wanted to post this to the Android Development section but since I have fewer than 10 posts I am forbidden from doing so.
Intermittently I will notice some apps do not load images or act as they normally should, and upon opening Solid Explorer to do some investigation I receive an error message (Cannnot browse to "/mnt/sdcard". An unknown error occured.). I find I am unable to access the internal sdcard through Solid Explorer, and when navigating using Root Explorer it only displays an empty folder.
This seems to happen at least once a day, and restarting my phone usually fixes it at least for a few hours. Sometimes ending all applications through task manager & clearing RAM memory through RAM manager will allow me to normally browse my internal sdcard using Solid Explorer for about a minute or so, and then become unaccessable again. Phone reboots seem to be the only fix, albeit a temporary one that only lasts a few hours.
I am unable to save screenshots when this occurs, unable to save pictures, some apps do not function properly -- all which makes sense if the phone is really unable to access the internal sdcard. I have performed numerous wipes (full wipe, cache, dalvik) & reinstalled newer nightly SynergyROMs but I have been unable to fix the issue. Searching these forums has not brought me any relevant information which pertains to the same issue I am having.
I appreciate any help or insight you guys can provide, thanks for taking a look.
Quick Background:
32GB Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon network
No external microsd card
Unlocked & Rooted
Running SynergyROM Nightly (r73)
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0
Why would you think to post this in Android Development? This is a question, and thus belongs in Q/A (where it is posted). Android Development is for people who actually developed something, like a ROM, Kernel, etc.
I don't know what kind of advice to give you though, besides try formatting in advanced options of CWM, a reprovision (*2767*3855# ) on stock (back up everything first, to somewhere other than internal SD as it will be wiped) or maybe a 32GB PIT, with a PIT being the least likely solution.
I second this question!!

I logged in today because I am having the exact same problem. Same ROM as well, Synergy r73. I've tried formatting the SDCard, tried a complete reformat of the phone. But nothing seems to help.
Also, to clarify, it isn't restricted to the external SD card (which mounts to /mnt/etxSDcard folder). It's the entire /mnt directory that hangs. I'm able to go into options and mount and unmount the external card fine. But as soon as I try and access /mnt using any app (andExplorer, Wifi File Explorer, even a simple 'ls' in terminal) the phone hangs, stops responding to button presses, and eventually reboots itself.
Also, I've found my timing matches Kenshingtx's as well. If I reboot the phone, I can access external storage, and the entire /mnt folder for that matter, just fine, and it stays this way for about an hour or so.
Any further ideas are greatly appreciated.
btw, I think he mentioned posting the Android dev because there is a thread specifically dedicated to this ROM with numerous questions and answers in it. (Albeit hard to follow since it's over 800 pages) I already searched in there and found no mention of this issue.
The SD card problem sounds like something that used to happen with the old modems.
Go to about phone and check your baseband. If it doesn't end in G7 or HD then you have an older radio that had this issue.
Here's a link to where you can get what you need that explains everything better then I could.

My phone has the G7 modem in it.
Thanks for everyone's input so far. My baseband ends in F2 so I'll try updating my modem and see what that does (even though nerfage seems to be having the same problem with the G7 modem). And you're right, I wanted to post in the synergyROM development thread thinking the problem might've been specific to that ROM.
I'll also look into reprovisioning on stock rom per Zalithian's suggestion to wipe the internal sd card, and see if that helps.
@nerfage - I dunno what the problem is then, could be ROM specific. If you figure out what's wrong post how you fixed it here. You may also want to try flashing the HD rom. Might fix it, might not.
@Kenshingtx - Not sure if the wipe would help so make sure that's an absolutely final thing, googling around is always useful. Hopefully the flash thing does the trick though.

Flashed the latest modem ending in HD, and tested my phone over the weekend. Still having the same issue where the internalsd becomes unavailable. Wondering if the hardware in our devices are faulty..?

My phone appears to be fixed. I backed up all the files on my mnt/sdcard, performed full/cache/dalvik wipes, formatted internal memory through recovery, flashed the rom again (decided to try Beans ROM this past week) and I haven't had the same issue come back. It looks like the cause of the problem was something on my internalsd, try formatting it (after backing up any files you need) to see if it'll fix the problem for you too. Good luck.
Note: the fix does not appear to be related to the ROM, i was having the same issue on the Beans ROM as well until I formatted the internal memory
Ok I got a HTC Sensation (XE) with ARHD 7.2 flashed on it. Kernel:Faux something
My problem my android crashed the 2nd time now. By that I mean, I can not access my SD card, all apps downloaded force close as soon as I open them, gallery (pics, vids etc) all empty but Android is showing me that the SD card has files on it and also accessible on the pc.
Read on the internet, a factory reset might help so I did and it worked...for a few weeks then again same thing happened.
Question is, is it the ROM that's causing this or the Kernel (which afaik faux is fast but unstable), maybe the extra features I selected when flashing are incompatible with the phone, or my SD card is dying?
any help appreciated

Its the kernel,try a different one,one thats a little more stable,this one obviously has bugs or is'nt compatible with your rom,also try this thread,it might help you a little.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466228
To determine wether this is the ROM or not I would personally go back to stock for a period of time and see if the same problem is persistent.
From what you have said it does sound like a bug, possible unstable software.
But attempt reverting back to stock as this may be hardware based with the XE being a older generation handset now.
Hope this helps
Need help please!
My Xperia Z1 Compact running rooted stock 4.4.4 can suddenly no longer write to external SD after a couple months of having no problem after applying NextApp SDFix.
As soon as I got the phone, I rooted it and used SDFix to enable write access to the external SD card. This worked for quite a while, but this morning I started getting errors from every app that I had configured to store its files on the external SD. BeyondPod could no longer update, my camera reported a memory write error when taking pics, etc.
I re-ran SDFix but it said the fix was stil in place. I also got the same results with other similar apps. I even visually inspected the /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml file and ensured that the fix applied by SDFix was still in place.
I verified root and BusyBox with Root Checker Pro, but both were working fine.
I did notice that I had somehow lost my recovery, so I re-installed the Xperia dual recovery that I had installed after first rooting the phone.
So far nothing has helped.
I'm not sure where else to go with this. I've read many posts of people losing write access when upgrading from an earlier android version to 4.4, but nothing on losing it after successfully getting it working on 4.4, with no upgrade.
Any suggestions, help, feedback is welcome! Thanks in advance.
