Softlinks on CM10 Preview (USB Mount) - General Questions and Answers

I've switched from Samsung Vanilla Android 3.1 to CM10 Android 4.1 alpha on my Galaxy Tab 10.1.
It works fine, with one exception.
When I connect a USB stick to the device the original Samsung Android mounted
it to /mnt/usbdrive, but has created a symbolic link to the internal storage
at /sdcard/storages/usbdrive as well, so it could be accessed easily, and
without a root request.
With CM10 it's mounted to /mnt/usbdrive, but no symbolic link is created.
So I've tried to do it myself in terminal:
ln -s /mnt/usbdrive /mnt/sdcard/storages/usbdrive
but get a "not supported" error message.
Please help!

on the galaxy tab 7.7 with a cm10 build on it i have the same problem.
usb sd-card reader with fat file system is listed as /dev/block/sda1 or sdb1, how shoud i mount it to be able to r/w without root privileges?
help would be appreciated.

[Q] HELP I need Tips for ROMless phone w/ functioning CWM

So i've spent days researching this topic, googling, forum surfing, and i've learned so much about android but now it's time to get my phone RUNNING: I'm going to put a lot of keywords in here, so forgive my wordiness. My hope is that this post will help others solve this general issue and better keywords move us up the search results. I've seen similar situations before but couldn't find a resolution for: functioning clockworkmod but no bootable rom, and i can't seem to get a bootable rom installed.
HTC Desire on verizon (CDMA/ Bravo C or bravoc)
Used unrevoked on the phone and everthing seemed to be working fine. I then tried to load a custom Rom (see below) and now i can't get my phone functioning!
I do not have a bootable ROM, but i have clockworkmod recovery v2.5.0.1 installed and functioning. i can mount the SD using USB Mount under paritions, but can't figure out how to mount internal storage. I have microsd to Usb reader so i can move files easily. I also have another functioning droid Incredible. I have formatted this microSD card using ROM manager and assigned the 4gb card to (512 ext, 32 swap) i did this after formatting on my windows PC to straight fat32.
I've loaded several roms and get symlink errors for

Is the radio installed and seems to be working properly.
I cannot get the RUU to work for this unit because i can''t mount the internal storage drive such that the installer will detect it.
I've gotten android commander working through the SDK/ ADB but i get some kind of timeout error after a few seconds of using the program. AC will detect my phone but when i try to use it to install ROMs i get No Device Found popup.
I need to get this phone working properly even if it is back to 2.1 stock, but i can't find a ROM that isn't locked up in an EXE file to install. can someone help? I'll be responding to replys with info very quickly, i need to get this phone running for a trip!

[Q] i9000 - internal sdcard gone - problems with boot / external sdcard mounting

Hi,
I have an i9000 and unfortunately, the internal sdcard is not recognised at all.
I can only boot using voodoo 500hz kernel, to bypass this problem.
All other kernels will fail at boot screen (reboot loop).
After booting with voodoo kernel, I've rooted the phone and connected through ssh to it (adb shell)
Listing devices in /dev/block showing nothing like mmcblk (/dev/block/mmcblk0)
I thought it must be the card itself or the controller so I went and bought an external sd card (8gb).
After I insert it, the phone shows it has 0 (zero) capacity , tried to format it to fat32, ext2, etc, both on device (parted) and computer (windows, linux). Not a chance. Tested it using a i9100 I also own and the card was recognised correctly.
Next step was to check if the controller still works so again adb shell and checked for a mmcblk device in /dev/block.
This time, a /dev/block/mmcblk0 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 / /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 were listed.
Removed the external card, no device at all so the internal sd card is gone for good.
Next step was to use a hack to swap the internal/external sd cards in (/etc/vold.fstab), but even it is recognized in recovery mode (I can factory format/ wipe data), still 0 size in android interface and I can't use Camera and other apps.
I tried to mount it manually, directly on phone (adb shell), with mount comand and it works! I can create files on it, which are persistent.
So the controller actually works and the card is recognised low level.
BUT, why Android interface (java layer) won't recognize it? It says it's there but size is 0.
Please help, I can't use a lot of features on the phone, I don't know what to do.
Tried to mount it manually (to /mnt/sdcard), and even it get mounted and everything works on shell (creating files, etc), still 0 size in Android.
Running df in shell shows the correct size.
Checked the fstab / vold.fstab / vold.conf , everything seems to be ok.
Can anyone help me to fix this issue? Or at least, to give me some clues / ideas? I've lost several nights and I can't find a fix.
I'm good at linux but don't know very much about Android and it's java layer over linux.
It happenned to me too... not sure it can help you, but this is how i fixed my problem:
1. connect i9000 to the pc thru usb.
2. found a filename "no media" in the root directory.
3. erase the "no media' filename and everything is back to normal.
Did you fix it? I have the same problem and can't find a solution yet

[Q] Mount usb key on P5110 running CM10.1 ?

Hey guys,
How can i mount an USB key (NTFS) on a P5110 running CM 10.1 please ?
I tried Stick mount and Paragon NTFS but the folder where the usb key is mounted is empty (worked fine with stock rom).
Thanks.
Best Regards.

Someone have any idea please ?

[Q] Internal storage no longer available!

Hi guys, I've got a little bit of a problem here, I can no longer acces the internal storage of my tf700, except through Root Explorer...
It is rooted but still locked. When I type "df" in Terminal, it says Permission Denied, next to storage/sdcard0. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?
Please help me
Edit:
Just tried to do a factory restore, but still no luck :/
Recently, /sdcard has been giving me a headache -- I can no longer mount it in CWM. In the ROM itself, I can access it with any file explorer without any problems whatsoever. I wonder if something has changed.
Which version of stock are you on currently? The .25?
storage issues
Tried to install a new app from Play store an got a insufficient storage available error
thats on a tf00t 32g with class 10 micro-SD 32g
runing CROMI 3.2
any help would be appreciated.
Might be worth giving this a try?
Boot into recovery, plug in the USB cable, go into adb shell, make sure that /data is mounted, then:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw.media_rw *

Unable to mount SM-T330NU running moonbutt74's CyanogenMod 11 Port as MTP, or UMS

I recently flashed moonbutt74's CyanogenMod 11 port onto my SM-T330NU Tablet using a CWM port. However, when attempting to mount my tablet through USB as MTP (with USB Debugging Enabled) it doesn't show up at all. When I attempt to mount it as a UMS device, it triggers a F: drive CD mount point.
I would post directly to the Development forum but due to certain rules, as a new user, I cannot. Any assistance would be appreciated.
