I just found I have an issue copying files from my PC to my SGS3. The error I get is " Device stopped responding or is disconnected" (on my pc). It worked days ago, and it worked on the current ROM I'm using. I can't think of anything else I could have done to mess it up. This happens when trying to copy anything to the Ext card or internal storage. Here's the kicker: now I can copy small files, but big zip files are a no go. Before I couldn't copy anything. All I did was reboot phone and PC, and looked into phone with Root Explorer, no changes.
I can copy files FROM the phone to PC but not to the phone from PC. How could this change literally overnight?? I did find a way to add Google Wallet to the phone. Could that have possibly been it?? Flashing a new ROM right now, gonna see if it helps.
New ROM didn't help. Still same issue.
*Update* Next day, I tried once again just for fun. And now it works fine! I did nothing to correct it. I did however reflash the ROM that the problem first arose. But I still don't get how that's even related to the ext sdcard. And how did it fix itself??? Would still like to know why it happened!

I had this EXACT same problem a few weeks ago. I'm not saying this is the case for you, but I found out that when I tried to batch transfer certain files, one of the files was corrupt. I eliminated whatever the culprit file was and was able to transfer. The strange thing is, it only happened when I tried transferring from internal to external as well, as if something in the transfer corrupted one of my files. So I started transferring files one by one, and the problem seems to be temporarily eliminated. Check to see if the zip file became corrupted in some way. Hope this helps.

I can transfer from ext to internal. I just can't transfer anything larger than a few MB. The zip files I'm trying are ROM zips so they are very large. Can't find anyone with this exact issue. I just flashed a new ROM, before that I formatted my sdcard. No idea what's wrong. Thanks for the reply though!

No problem at all. Do you think it's possible that the format you formatted the sdcard in may possibly be causing the issue? I've heard cases that incorrect formatting can block file transfers if over so many MBs, GBs, etc.

I had this exact problem as well. After a lot of trial and error, I gave up on the native MTP file transfer method, and went with ADB instead.
I use a very nicely done GUI on top of ADB to do all my file transferring called QtADB. Just install the Android SDK first, and then the GUI.

I'm going to try and find the adapter that came with the micro card. I've read where some people having this issue have to use the adapter to plug into the PC directly to copy files. What I don't get is how it just happened all of a sudden. It was working just a few days ago, I loaded a bunch of music no problem as well as ROMs to flash. Very weird. It has to be a setting somewhere lol.

After the root procedure I don't seem to have any ability to use USB Mass storage.
Windows reports it as an empty drive, linux will show the device as connecting and assigns it a /dev/sdx device, but when you attempt to mount or fdisk, it reports no medium.
Any one else having similar issues?
I could always try a reset to factory defaults after unrooting, but I really don't see what rooting could have done.
I used the manual method and had to run zerg several times, however beyond that no other files where modified.
I've already reverted /data/local.prop to stock, no help.
Any one have any other insights?
I had to uninstall motohelper to get USB mass storage working.

When you take a picture, does it save to your sdcard? Sounds completely unrelated huh? Well, this phone seems to have an issue with the sdcard randomly becoming read only. I have had that issue multiple times now and usually it's solved by restarting the phone. Well, I seen your issue today and didn't remember if I had tried to use it as mass storage since rooting it so I tried....no luck. Took a pic, it looked like it saved, didn't get any error, but could not find the pic in my gallery. Then I tried to take a screenshot and got the read only error. So I just took my sdcard out and made a copy of it to my pc, put it back in and rebooted my phone, it's all good now, imagine that. Needless to say, i'm backing up all my apps right now before doing anything else. Then gonna backup my contacts too.
motohelper... Sounds like a stock app...
did you just rm the apk?

I was able to get my sdcard recognized again but still could not use it as mass storage device, never had a problem with this before root. Did factory reset and all is well.
There is no possible way root caused the issue at all. It stopped working for me once I installed moto drivers, but shows the device with mass storage under it in usb portal mode.

Well then it's one hell of a coincidence! Before root, w/motodrivers, worked fine, after root w/motodrivers, didn't work, after unrooting, w/motordrivers, works again.
Same thing happened with my phone. Actually now returned because of all the issues I kept having hardware wise and wound up going and getting the HTC Vivid. So if any of yall switch I will see you when a Forum is made for this device.

I have until the 24th of this month to decide if I want to keep this phone or not. I unrooted yesterday, will see how it goes this week. I'm not trying to pay big money for a phone right now so we'll see how it plays out.
OK I give up. The problem is intermittent. I'm going to do a log cat next time cause I'm getting about irritated. SOme times it works fine some times not. I've not unrooted or changed anything since the initial problem.
The only thing I can possibly thing is that some of the commands installed by busybox is screwing up the works.
Short of that nothing REALLY changes that could affect the operation of the phone.
What doesn't bare that idea out however is the fact that it EVER works.
**STUMPED**
It does the exact same thing on a completely unmodified phone. Therefore, it's nothing you did to it that's cause the problem.
I have the same thing on mine but it was something with the format of the card.
I flipped it to windows media sync mode then backed up the card and after the backup I unmounted the card and let the atrix format it.
I had the card in a atrix 1 before I put it in the atrix 2 so I do not know if this is the case or not.
This has now been working with out a problem for 4 days now
Same thing happened to my phone, I never rooted it.
Confirmed user error.

Thank you seraphielx! Shortly before finding this thead, I'd noticed that I had a rather large number of files in the LOST.DIR on my SDcard. Which coincided with the seemingly random disappearance of some of the apps I'd moved there. And when I pulled the SDcard to back it up on my PC, there were nearly 600mb worth of files in the LOST.DIR. Most of which were photos, plus (I think) some apps. Thank God I make regular backups!
I believe the problem, at least in my case, has to do with the fact that I could pull the SDcard without first pulling the battery; which I did when I swapped the stock 2gb card for my 32gb card right after I bought the phone. Thus corrupting many files, and probably the file system on the card as well.
After backing up what remained of my storage files, I tried to format the SDcard in the Atrix2, but It wouldn't let me select the option to format, and neither could I unmount the SDcard. So I powered down the phone, pulled the card and formatted it from my PC. Poped it back in the phone, powered up, and was then able to format it with the Atrix2. Since then I've had no issues with accessing usb mass storage, nor with disappearing apps and photos.
Thanx again for the assistance!
For me sometimes it takes a few minutes before I can access sdcard from PC.
Usually it works instantly after phone reboot while not plugged in pc, then it takes ages...

Update: OK, I can't unmount my SDcard, again. Which, of course, means I can't access usb mass storage anymore. The only I've changes made since my last post were to install some apps and change some status bar icons via Rom Toolbox, and I can't believe that has anything with the issue.
If I do a factory reset, will I need to root again?
If you have any apps installed on your SD card you will continue to have problems.
Okay, now the internal SD Card is giving me all kinds of headaches.
I flashed all my ROM stuff fine, it installed, runs great, but now I can't copy or write anything to the internal SD Card.
I try to take a picture, force close. Copy files with Astro, errors. Even PC to phone errors out on me. I can't even copy over another ROM zip to reflash to try it out.
Anything like this happen to any of you guys?

Try going back to stock. Sounds like a bad flash. Or it was writtin in that it is only readable, not writing. So try the stock, should work. Pick your choice, recomend heimdale one click, its the easiest.
Plus once you reload save what files you have then format your sd card i do that every now and then...
Well, GTG's method is getting something to almost flash. It seems stuck at "factory.rfs" now. How long does it usually take to upload the filesystem?
Okay, I tried all my USB ports and found one that worked. Weird.

Hi.
I have just flashed Zeus 6 today all the way from stock. Everything was going great.
After this, I decided to enable lagfix by going to CWM and enabling it from there. After it booted, though, ALL MY SDCARD APPS ARE MISSING. Applications such as Superuser and Android Market. So I then disabled lagfix and it still wasn't working. I can't even use Root Explorer as I don't have Superuser.
I can see the blank icons of the applications that are missing in my apparently drawer, but when I click them, it says "Application is not installed on your phone."
SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!
Sounds like you need to edit your vold.fstab file. Have you checked to see if the sdcard is actually mounted?
Search vold.fstab, you'll find the answer.
Where can I get the vold.fstab file from?
And what do I need to do with it? I can't seem to find anything?
Also, it was working fine when I reflashed Zeus 6. After a while, though, I rebooted my phone after installing all the apps I needed to install. After that, it went back to the problem again.
I am really getting pissed right now with my phone.
[Update] I found a vold.fstab but what do I do with it? And is it 100% sure that this problem came from the unsuccessful mounting of internal SD card? I'm really really ticked off at the moment. I'm sorry.
If you do a search for vold.fstab you'll find what needs to be edited.
I just copied the vold.fstab to the /etc folder and the problem still persists.
Is there any other cause that would've ****ed my phone up?
Also, from my understanding, the vold/fstab fixes external SD card problems and not internal. I don't know, though.
I am really desperate at the moment.
[Edit] ****. After doing the vold.fstab replacement, my external SD card won't even get detected anymore.
The issue that you describe isn't related to the vold.fstab fix. You're correct that making the mmc1 edit is only necessary if you can't see your external sd after making a kernel swap.
When you go to settings / sd card and phone storage, what do you see? Is your 13.03 partition visible? What else is visible?
Edit: And yeah, if you changed the vold.fstab like the others suggested, you need to change the mmc1 in the last line back to mmc2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
Yes. When I look at my USB storage, it says 13.03 total space. I realized that whenever I clear the data and/or reflash, I lose the problem.
But as soon as I start installing stuff, that's when it gets ****ed. I reboot and *boom* all my SD card apps are all just blank icons that when clicked, gives you the error "Application is not installed on your phone"
PS Can someone give me the very default vold.fstab file? This new one ****ed my memory card up and I don't know how to change the mmc1 to mmc2 as I literally just copied and pasted the file into the /etc directory.

You can edit the vold.fstab file by using a program like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer. Using the program, mount the /system/etc directory as read/write. Then, use the built in text editor to change the last line. In this case, for your setup, the last line is supposed to end with mmc2.
To fix your initial problem.: Go ahead and first fix your newly created vold.fstab problem. Then, in Settings / SD card and phone storage, choose format usb storage for the 13.03 gb partition. Let it format, and then go to Settings / Privacy / Factory data reset. Choose "Reset phone".
You'll have to reinstall your apps. Let us know if things are back to normal after doing this. If this doesn't get it, I have another step for you to try.
I have fixed the external SD Card issue. Thanks so much!
I just did the Data reset and currently reinstalling apps and report what happens.
I will keep you posted
Okay so I just reinstalled everything and rebooted and it was all perfect.
This happened to me a while ago while I rebooted like twice and then the problem came back.
I will post here ASAP if it comes back again, but so far it's looking good.
In any case, I am just really curious (if your method actually worked). What would have been wrong before that caused the problems? Also, I did wipes in CWM before and the problem was gone as well, but when I installed apps and rebooted, the problem went back again. So what is the difference between restoring from Settings>Privacy as opposed to the Data wipe on CWM?
I love you, man. *no homo*

Now, hold the bus. If you see and can use your apps, then it worked. What do you mean, "if your method actually worked"?
Also, I hope that after you reboot, that you are giving your phone time to scan the sd cards. Within the first few minutes after the phone boots, apps on the sd card won't be available.

There is no telling, man. No telling at all. Something was screwed up, though, most likely by something you did on your phone.

Factory reset just wipes user data / installed programs and puts you back to default. Did you also format the 13.03 gb partition like I recommended?
Try to steer clear of any mods for a few days, until you're sure that it's fixed. And stay away from those porn sites.
I have done everything you have said on the dot. It's working fine at the moment and I've been trying to reboot every once in a while to see if it is set.
Also, the problem started when I tried to enable Voodoo lagfix and that was when it started acting up. Next time I restored, it was when I tried using Voltage Control. I really don't know what the problem was. It is a ***** for sure, though.
I also made /mnt/sdcard/Applications and /mnt/sdcard/Android/Applications. I don't know if these would've made an effect, but it's working fine at the moment.
Lastly, I knew Jizzhut was ****ed

Hi, I've been trying to hunt down an answer to my problem with no avail, hopefully someone here can help. I've a rooted Huawei y300 0100 back on factory stock again.
My problem is this after I rooted (went fine first time doing this) installed TWRP created backups, Flashed Fusion x rom no problems at all, found a few bugs thought I would try another ROM, restored my stock from twrp saved backups all good I thought...
Upon re entering recovery everything is fine, factory wipe etc then when it comes to installing any ROM I get the message E: cannot open zip. This happens on any ROM I try, so I know its not the file, file can also be opened on PC and phone explorer.I've formatted the external SD card and re-downloaded ROMs still nowt.
I would just use the stock again and run a new launcher and delete the bloat myself but I can't get Orbit working at all now I'm rooted and back on factory stock when it was working fine on fusionx and orbit/Pandora are pretty much what I did all this for
Any ideas would be appriecated as I'm pretty noobish at this.
Would installing cwm over the top of twrp work?
Do I need to do a special kind of wipe in case of file corruption?
Solved, after some fiddling got flashing working again. What worked for me was to redownload the file direct to internal SD and flashing from there. Downloading anywhere else ie PC or ext SD and copying across still gave same error. Not sure why but I've flashed 3 ROMs today without issue this way. Hope this helps anyone else who encounters this.

yeeah... thank you bro
I also had problems with "unable to open zip file" and "bad" errors, seemed to be fixed by formatting a spare 4gb MicroSD to FAT and making sure it was the first thing copied to the SD card. I was using PHILZ recovery, but I'd assume that TWRP will work just as well. I have a suspicion it may have something to do with file fragmentation or maybe allocation block size. Before this I checked MD5SUMs on a few MicroSD cards and they were all perfect, so it wasn't a download or copy corruption, the bootloader just has an issue with the file or filesystem for some reason.
Can confirm. Was having trouble installing Boeffla 3.0 kernal on gnabo 4.4.2 (v8). ( samsung galaxy note 10.1 n801x / n8013 )
Deleted the zips I downloaded, then re-downloaded straight to zip. installed like a boss!
Thanks!
This is a most underrated thread.
Just had the same issue with my old Galaxy S3. Needed to copy the zip directly to internal storage via mtp in twrp.
In newer twrp version it shows zip file corrupt instead of unable to open zip.
Basically if I download a zip/rar file via wifi or transfer it from my PC via cable it almost always turns out that my zuk z2 has corrupted it (CRC checksum error). I have flashed and done factory reset. Tried it on vendor rom (2.0.093st) and now on official 2.0.133st with the same issue. I did not have this issue 2 weeks ago. The phone is barely a month. I also noticed freezing and blinking led light issue around the same time, not sure if it's related.

Transferred files getting corrupted are often times a result of the storage medium itself (your Internal/External SD card) being corrupted. And not necessarily a buggy ROM. Try formatting your device's storage and see if that solves your issue.

I flashed it and then did a factory reset but still had the same issue. It's the internal SD card of the phone, no option for external. I have never heard of internal SD card of a phone being corrupted before, lately I have been having some hang ups involving the phone going black with the led flashing repeatedly. Do you think they could be related

A factory reset doesn't normally erase the internal SD. Only the internal storage. Because then all your files (including your media) would've gotten erased every time you did a factory reset.
If the led is blinking repeatedly regardless of the ROM, then it might be a hardware defect. And similarly, even though corrupt internal SD cards are rare, it is possible. OEMS cut corners sometimes in order to keep costs down. Especially when they try to put "top notch" specs in an "unbelievably cheap" phone.

Go to settings->storage and the option should be in there somewhere.
Ensure you backup/transfer all your files to your PC first though.
And you can use this app (if it doesn't continuously crash on your device :silly: ) to check whether or not there's actually a problem with the internal SD before doing the full format.

That's weird. Are you sure?
Mind taking a screenshot of your storage screen and posting it?

Over the weekend I decided to install twrp and root it. I wiped the whole storage,data,cache etc and installed a cutom rom. Same issue still persists when I copy rar/zip files.

App called rar made by rarlabs creators of winrar. I also copy the rar/zip files back to my pc and test on winrar as well to confirm it is corrupt and it usually is.
