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.
Rev
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!

"There are 4 system in the phone with BMM, the main system is MB ICS
Last week when I used the phone, once there is not responding, didn't want to start any application - I restart the phone.
While the phone was booting to BMM startup under the green robot the title was: cache img for system 1 cant be found, and created a virtual cache.
The system started as if I did a FULL RESET, but I didn't! After It there was a system message: unable to receive message,free up some space.
Starting calls, receiving, browsing only working (if I set the base things), but I can not be install any other application, I just only have the factory ICS apps. Unable to write a message, - free up some space - the system refers.
In the storage: Total space: 0.00 B which contained: 54Mb.
- I tried to "reinstall" the MB ICS factory rom 3 times with RSDLite, but nothing changes. It seemed to install, and everything work fine, but after the reboot there was no change.
- I tried to install ME ICS factory rom, ME JB rom with RSD, but in the 6. step: "flash failure" error stops. After this point I have MB ICS with root permissions, superuser and BMM - everything just like previously, only the sytem is wiped.
- I tried to restore my earlier backup, but there is no change.
- I tried to flash/install another "custom rom" but no change.
- Tried to format system, format cache, format data, format everything, but nothing changed.
- I tried many times, factory reset, nothing changes.
After every restart it seems if I do a full reset. I can not create a system, and I can not delete with BMM.In BMM with Aroma in "DF" setup there is 450 MB space in my phone"
If you have any solution, please tell us to solve this nerve-racking problem.

Wow. This is why my friends don't let me mod their phones. They have all kinds of questions that they ask me but they don't let me touch their phones. I guess they've seen me soft brick mine too many times and they think their phones will end up like this or something. So, your friend is much more trusting than mine are. Lol.
If it were me, I would uninstall and then reinstall all the Motorola drivers on the PC. Then re-download RSD lite, the FXZ, and everything else that is needed and try again. If that didn't work, I'd try a different PC and/or USB cable. After that, I wouldn't know what else to do. :what:
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Do you mean the internal storage? Cause if you're talking SD Card, there's a lot of fakes. The fakes have fake messages of storage then reboot & all is gone or corrupt.
Yes, the internal storage of the phone.
Because if you forget to create cache.img partition for a custom ROM in BMM, still boot ok, but when you restart, the phone is reseted to factory
Back to your problem, I think you cannot receive sms because it cannot save data to the cache partition
Any idea from devs to brighten us?

I've considered that too, but that doesn't explain why the FXZ doesn't seem to work. I'm stumped so I've been keeping my eye on this thread just in case someone comes up with a solution.

The problem isn't solved. The owner of the phone sent the device to the service-repair shop, but the service lost his phone. The shop paid a solatium.
Hi all,
I already searched around and could not find anything close to a solution. I have a huge ANNOYING problem. I haven't had this issue until recently. Or rather, I haven't noticed it until now. I flashed a new ROM coming from CM10 thinking it was the ROM, but I have tried two different ROMs and still the same problem. WTF!? I keep getting the message "Insufficient Space available" error when trying to install programs from Google Play or trying to side-load.
For some reason I have two internal storages when I look under storage in system settings. One is 1.97GB and the other is 11.24GB. In the smallest one, I have 209MB available. WTF!? Yet the other has 11.17GB. It's to the point where I have only 9 progrmas installed! 9!! Something's got to be wrong here, Please help!
What's the deal!? Anyone have a solution. I have done a factory reset and cleared everything. Still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
*temporary fix*
OK, so I went in and cleaned out the folder /system/lost+found
It had 1.6gb of used space. Deleted it all and now I have that space available.
The main reason for this being a temporary fix is because I still have two internal storages. So eventually the 2gb where all the programs are being installed into, will run out again. So then phone is not taking advantage of all 14 GB available for storage.

Did you wipe data and caches?
I had this problem before, where I had gigabytes of files in the lost+found folder, which would take up the internal storage where apps are installed. When I went to another ROM, I did a clean flash, and even though I restored all apps from Google, I had much more space available.

I did all that. Just like always. Even before I flashed the new ROM, I cleared cache and wiped data. Even did Dalvik cache wipe. Still nothing.Where is this lost+found folder you speak of. Maybe go into it manually. But still doesn't explain all that available space.

Wipe data from google play services, google play, and google services frameworks. Clearing the data also wipes the cache for you. To do this go to Manage apps>all and pick those apps. It'll take some time to resync all your google info but after that you should be good.
So I just had this problem yesterday and what worked for me is to wipe Everything, except for the sd cards. That should clear out the data that is from your last rom.

Actually the way to fix it is set "use rm-rf" options in settings in TWRP while flashing. I don't know why but make_ext does not work sometimes

I'll try that. Actually I got it to where I can actually install other rpogrmas. But the phone still has a 2gb internal storage and 11.4gb internal storage. Which is pretty frustrating. Buddy's S3 only has one internal storage. Sondoea another Buddy's note2. So I'm lost as to why I have 2 internal storages. Wtf!?
For right now, see first post for my "temporary fix"

Did you wipe internal sd card as well or did you mean you wiped everything except both the internal and micro sd card?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
My solution was to disable Sync App Data in my google account as I logged into a factory wiped phone. I had Despicable Me 2 installed on my tablet, but even though it wasn't installed on my phone it was still syncing the 600 (SIX HUNDRED) MB of App data (videos I assume?!). There is no easy way to know which apps are doing this(abusing data sync), especially if you have multiple devices using the same account but different app sets. Wiping /data and making sure not to sync app data was the only thing that worked for me. Once you are in, you may be able to delete that app data by delteing the app from the 'My Apps' 'All Apps' section, but there should really be a better way to manage this data.
Did anyone come up with a permanent fix for this? I have tried flashing several roms several times and always end up with the split storage.

I haven't found a permanent solution, but you can install apps on the external SD card. I think there is an Xposed module that will force apps onto the sd card as well.
I have a Sprint Galaxy Note 5 on 6.0.1(not rooted). Recently I tried to open an app on my home screen and received the message,'Application Is Not Installed On Your Phone '. I didn't think anything of it and just reinstalled the app. I received this error before on a S4. The problem I had there was that my external SD card was corrupt. But my Note 5 doesn't have external SD card support and it keeps happening now with different apps. I've read that a factory reset will probably fix the issue.. But before I do that, I was hoping that someone might know of a solution for me? I've also cleared all app cache and data in all apps(including Play Store) and nothing seems to help.
?
Anyone have any ideas?
You probably took ota update and data partition isn't quite right. Save everything off of sd and do a factory reset in stock recovery so it can wipe everything fresh.
Hi there!
Every time I upgrade my smartphone I struggle with link2sd. Therefor I am askin for some enlighting.
To be more specific:
Every time when it is time for a major upgrade of the custom ROM, the phone should get completely cleaned. OK - all manufacturer updates do not need this. But custom ROMs do. I don't see why, but this is an other question.
Deleting everything means reinstalling everything, which is kind of painfull for 100+ apps.
In my opinion, as I have nearly all apps linked to SD this shoud all be no problem:
Install link2sd first, let it mount the 2nd partition, rebind everything and we have a shiny day. That's what I tink every time, but it never worked.
I also use titanium backup. But I am not sure if it is intended ro restore my apps and data to SD (where they were), or restore it to internal (where is probalbly not enough space for all the stuff).
Finall the questions: Is there a step-by-step tutorial for this? Upgrading the phon, using link2sd or titanium or both?
Any hints?
Anybody did this before?
(I am asking due to an update from android 5 to 6 on my S5. And I hesitate due to the hard times it will bring with it)

Oh. Found tis finally
> I upgraded/changed my ROM and I can not see my linked apps, their files are on the 2nd partition but the system can not see the apps. How can I make them available, do I need to reinstall and relink them again?
No, if you didn't wipe data when updating ROM the only thing you need to do is to run "Recreate mount scripts" from "menu -> more" within Link2SD and do a normal (not quick) reboot.
If you wiped data, after executing "Recreate mount scripts" and rebooting, run "Relink all application files" from "menu -> more" and then reboot. All of your linked apps should be available again after reboot.
If you also wiped dalvik-cache, in addition to the above step run "Link dalvik-cache files".<
I think, this should do the trick.
But still anyone here to explain the behaviour of titanium backup?
