I flashed the MHX Superlite 4.5 yesterday. Media scanner "starts" whenever I open gallery or music or any app that accesses media. Songs/pictures on my external SD card would not be recognized by either stock music player,play music,gallery
I flashed MHX Superlite 5.0 today. The problem persists. I searched the thread and found that someone suggested to run "SUPERIPE" then reflash.........I'm assuming they meant Superwipe. I ran Superwipe TWICE, re flashed and still no change.
Fortunately there is no stick when restarting or shutting down, but I could live with that.............Need my music
Thanks
Update: I have tried a new ROM AND a new sd card and the problem persists!
how big is your media stick? brand?

sounds like you might have filesystem problems with the sd card? i suggest you copy all your stuff off it using the mount usb storage option in cwm (mounts and storage > usb), and then format /sdcard under cwm, or remove the card, format it under a windows computer, and reinsert it.
formatted the sd card (while connected to my PC and using the default FAT32 setting)
problem persists
I can view files via the my files app

I've had pretty good luck doing the following to fix strange errors:
Wipe data
Format system twice
Format data twice
Format cache twice
Run superwipe
Flash rom
Wipe cache and dalvik before first boot (this requires holding the volume buttons on the superlite 5 install at the appropriate time)
I'm sure this method is at least 50% superstition on my part, but it works for me every time.
I just want to state for anyone who ever reads this
I finally got the media scanner to work
Method
flashed through Odin original skyrocket leak
Flashed cwm
Ran super wipe
Flash ROM

I had the same problem, with a different ROM. I think there was something corrupt or messed up on the internal sd card, cuz after I moved everything to the computer, it worked fine. The one click worked because it wipes the emmc. I went straight from GB to a ICS rom, that's why I had a problem.

I woke up and found that somehow my wall paper had reset itself, and the media scanner was not working again. Thanks to what you said, I knew to format the Emmc and media scanner works again.
I did remove everything from the SD card to my PC and format the card a few days earlier but that didn't solve the problem.
It seems you understand what's going on. Could you explain a little more. I rather understand than just know to format emmc
Thanks
To be quite honest, I'm not 100% sure what causes media scanner to lock up. From what I read elsewhere on the internet, it could be a corrupt file, or maybe its just that ICS's media scanner handles files differently than GB's media scanner. I'm leaning more toward the latter, as GB media scanner never had a problem when running a GB ROM, and there is some reason as to why the one click ICS was designed to wipe the emmc (internal sd card).
Hope that helps clear any confusion!

Hi,
I'm trying to root my spyrocket using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340526 and during the back up it is frozen on "backing up system..". I know it said to be patient but its been over an hour and now I'm getting worried. Any suggestions?
Restart and try again. Backing up won't change anything about your system. It only "reads". Should be fine.
Edit: however...never never ever turn off your phone during "ANY" type of write or flash.

tried that
But it still keeps freezing up during the system backup? Is it the size of the sd card? Its 2GB

Have you tried mounting the internal sdcard before doing the back up?
yea Its mounted, it gives me the option to unmount it so i dont think thats the issue. Everytime I try to back it up it leaves files on the sd card so I know its transferring to the card. I might try formatting the card and see if that helps.

How much space do you have free? Or is it the 2gb with nothing else on it?
Ive had backups larger than 2gb.
But I've also never gotten touch clockwork to finish a backup. It freezes on me.

Are you sure it is not the known ".hidenandroidrogress" problem?
While doing backup either in system or data backup hangs forever
Backups take like 750mb. After you format a 2gb card, that's about half of it. Make sure its empty. Or better yet, backup to internal storage and transfer. Just don't backup to internal then format, that's no good.

I was finally able to complete the back up after I formatted the card. Not sure why that worked but I'm Rooted and all is good! Thanks everyone for your replies!

I wanna clean my phone and get a fresh rom install and I wanted to know is there effective way of cleaning the internal SD card from all the junk that accumulated over the time with a command or I'll have to do it manually?
I format emmc in cwm, that's how i do it before rom flashes.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
I thought that was the way but I googled it and everything that came up said never to do it.
I just noticed in the settings>storage theres an option to format usb storage will that do the trick?
I wipe from recovery. Under mounts and storage I believe

You can factory data reset from settings, and you can format usb storage from settings.

I actually tried it said it formatted but nothing was missing from internal or external.
I used cwm emmc format, had troubles because installing from sd card didnt get passed the samsung logo even after downloading the rom again.
Had to do a nandroid and copy the installation to the internal and then flash.
Connect phone to PC
In CWM , mount USB storage...
When the phone storage is dispalyed on PC explorer , wipe everything you see (ctrl+a then del)
Do you have a PC ?
Actually I'm usually using my mac because it's nicer to do it from the bed. But I'll remember it for next time everything is already working great, well almost(see my other thread if interested).
Have had orthus ROM on my phone sense ver 1. Had 7 on there recently no issues, finally ver 8 comes out and now I have internal storage USB mount issues. Its not showing up. Its not were the system files go , but were the programs go. The system storage and SD card show up in the settings/storage and I have no idea how to fix the issue.

I'm not sure I understand your problem. I'm on ver 8 and don't have any problems with the files. They're all where they should be. Are you using a file manager to locate the files?
What was the best thing before sliced bread?

im saying the internal memory were all the program files, not the system files go... the internal 8gb mount is missing... like it doesnt even show up. i tried to install some programs but cant because its saying theres no SD card installed.. I've formatted 3 times, tired reinstalling the rom 4 times, fixed permissions 4 times, and did factory reset 3 times. did the clean dalvix (spelling) 5 times with no success. i dont know what to do. even tried going back to orthus 7 with no help. even contacted mindmajick and he didnt know.
If I understand, what normally shows up as sdcard on your internal isn't there anymore. Idk either. You could try a different rom or you might have to odin back to stock and start over.

On the skyrocket, you have internal memory (were the system files goes) then you have a internal SD memory, then you have external SD memory, my internal SD is missing.

Flash back to stock and see if it picks it up. If not it's very possible that your memory failed. Warranty with Samsung would be your only option if that's the case.

so flash all the way back to stock and not be rooted?
Yes. If it picks it up from there build back up. If it doesn't your internal is hosed.
Figured it out. When I reboot, I have to take my SD card out let the ROM load then insert it back in. With the card in, the phone wasn't registering the internal SD memory.

My ext. Card (32gb sandisk ultra micro SD) constantly corrupts random files. I don't think it is the card because this is the third card I've used with the same results. I can however use the card on my laptop and it works perfectly fine via the card adapter. If I put music or movies on the card from the laptop and try to use it on my phone the file won't work or works for a few seconds then stops. Also, when I save to my phones internal memory it works fine. Has anyone else had issue? I've tried factory resets and custom ROMs but its always the same result. ANY input would be greatly appreciated.
Don't install custom ROMs on top of each other.

Tried it and it didnt help. I tried putting some files on my phones ext sdcard via usb cable from my laptop but it freezes in mid transfer. Also when I tried to make a Backup with CWM it wouldnt complete. So i wiped/formatted and fresh installed stock rom again and installed TWRP with the same results. I think its time to just give up. Also when I try and install SUPER USER it gets stuck in a boot loop. Frustrating.
ideas anyone
Okay I was able to flash cm10.1.2 and super user with twrp. Its crazy I can transfer media to the internal storage just fine but not to the SD card. I've factory reset with twrp and reinstalled stock and nothing seems to fix this.

I'm so glad someone has posted this issue, I can confirm it does exist on stock Rogers RUXUMA ROM with an external Sandisk 64GB class 10 card.
The problem especially occurs when downloading compressed files from the internet. They appear fine but when you try to extract them, they have CRC failures. Sometimes they are fine until you reboot the phone.
I have been trying to troubleshoot this issue for months, its a problem with MTP or exFat on this particular phone. I've tried both CWM and TWRP, no success. The old Gingerbread ROM which didn't have MTP or exFAT support works fine, I've gone back and tried dozens of times.
I'm just surprised nobody else has reported this.
