[Q] Android MID tablet no internal storage - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys
I recently purchase an MID N900 android tab with ice-cream sandwich.
It already has root access.
i didn't have read/write access so i installed remount and applied it to my external memory card.
I also installed rom toolbox lite to increase performance.
After I rebooted my device , the internal memory shows 0 and now i can't install any apps besides the terminal.
I don't know which app caused this issue but i think its remount.
I also can't access recovery mode.
I did a factory reset and it didn't help.
I don't know if this is of any help but every time i restart the device everything goes back to factory settings. It shows you the guide
when you start your device for the first time.
How can i reset the internal storage back to normal
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot

I found a solution, hopefully this can help someone in the future
The problem was i installed busybox using an installer which causing some file discrepancies.
To fix it :
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator, this app can be installed even if storage shows full.
2. copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, if busybox is installed the code is "busybox cp /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin"
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal

Hi! I have almost the same problem. I follow your instruction - i've installed emulator but i cant gain access.It says "cp cant create '/system/bin/busybox' : Permission denied.
Do you know how i can gain access over it?
ps My case is the same like yours. I tried to new rom, but after that it appeared. I cant install busybox, i can use emulator only.

Hi
Firstly I think you made a typing error, it's system/XBIN/busybox not system/bin/busybox
Secondly as soon as you open the terminal type 'su' that will give you root access, then type the command in the previous post.
I'm not an expert but I will try to help if I can.
Let me know if it works

I wrote commmand "su" and successfully gained root access. After that typed the command like you and no errors appeared. But still I don't have internal memory (cant install any apps). Any suggestions?
psEven i cant download any apps from the market...
Regards

This might be a silly question but did you restart your device after the command?

Fixing 0 bytes on internal storage on tablet
1. First Install root explorer! (Pro Much Better)
I found a solution, The problem was I rooted my tab then internal storage crashed.
To fix it :
1. Install Root explorer , this app can be installed even if storage shows full, it will directly install on your sd card or external storage .(its more easier if you download it to your pc then transfer it to your sd card
open root explorer find or copy /system/xbin/busybox then pastethis folder to /system/bin
2. Before you copy the /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, make sure or check the /system/bin is set to rw, if the permission of the folder is ro ( read only)set it to rw(read/write) for you to able to copy those files, it is needed to follow this steps for you to paste /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal.. it is important to read and analyze this steps carefully, I consumed 2 hours to solve this problem. But worth it !!

[HOW TO] Root Acer Aspire One D255 Netbook Dual Boot & Others

Rooting
You will need:
A source of Better Terminal Emulator.apk (3.38 works) (From now on called BTE)
A working android dual-boot
How to:
Somehow get BTE onto your netbook
Install it using the provided file manager. (DON'T WORRY THAT PACKAGE INSTALLER CRASHES. THAT IS NORMAL. JUST CLICK FORCE CLOSE AND PICK BTE FROM THE LAUCHER.)
There's no need to install the plugin, just click OK and open and close BTE until it opens a green text on white background.
Exit BTE for now and download busybox
Re-open bte and type cd /sdcard/downloads then cat busybox > /system/xbin/busybox
Get Root Explorer from somewhere and install it with file manager
Open it. Test whether busybox works by clicking the mount r/w button. If it changes, your netbook is rooted!
Installing Apps that give "application not installed" in the package installer
Get the app you want and find it in root explorer
Long click the APK and click copy
Right click > more > home
Click mount r/w at the top (MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED, SEE ABOVE)
Go to /data/app and click paste
Find your apk and long click and click rename. Name it com.publisher.appname
Long click on the apk and click permissions
Tick the 1st two boxes on the first row, the 1st one in the second row and the 1st. one on the third row.
Go to your launcher (I use GO Launcher EX) and see if it's installed. The app may still force close. If it has not installed, wait a while and see if it appears or try copying it to /system/app and back again
Installing Market & GApps Progress
Installing Market & GApps so far progress:
Installing GApps from CyanogenMod 5 (Android 2.1) & Toshiba Tablet's Market
WORKING!!!!!!! Download! (How to is in the .zip). Note: You cannot search or browse categories, so I will include the Appbrain app for those purposes.
The market opens, but crashes on search or clicking apps. If you click on a recommended app and click install it doesn't download. Does anyone want a tutorial or know how to stop it crashing?

Help
Hi thanks for the guide I've come across a problem though. I've installed BTE and got to the stage
Re-open bte and type cd /sdcard/downloads then cat busybox > /system/xbin/busybo
But when I type in the second line it says that it cannot create the directory because it is read only.
Any thoughts on why it is doing this?
Thanks

This page seems to show you how to mount system r/w, so this should work. Just do the checking from the page first.
Sorry I was late, I only got back from Spain yesterday and had no internet in Spain
Hi,
Thanks that guide fixed the problem. Tried to install Angry Birds though and it installs through the method given but when I run it it forces close. Have i done something wrong or will it never work on the Acer netbook?

Quinny899, thank you for writing this up. I just bought a Acer Aspire One D257 which dual boots into Android 2.3.1. I tried to follow your instructions but I ran into the same Read-only file system error as nunbean. I tried his solution but i don't seem to have adb, su permission, or applications>developer>usb debugging available to me.
Any suggestions? Have you had any luck hooking your D255 to another computer and running adb?
Thanks

Sadly, that doesn't work either. Acer/Insyde must have locked it down a bit in between versions. System/xbin is rwxr-xr-x

Thank you so much for helping out with this process. I'm still trying to figure out what Acer/Insyde changed between our two computer models.

However when trying to install another app I have run out of system disk space (135.17MB Used, 396k free)
Is there any way to make the system disk larger without having to prune it? Or install to sdcard?

I'm working on an apps2sd method.
You can move to /x-root/app or /sdcard/app (make the folders and move the app apk into it first)
The main code is:
ln -s /data/app/com.whatever.app.apk /x-root/app/com.whatever.app.apk
-or-
ln -s /data/app/com.whatever.app.apk /sdcard/app/com.whatever.app.apk

[HOWTO] Bluestacks for MAC OS X rooted [2012-10-09]

Hi all, who are interested in using Bluestacks (Bluestacks Mac alpha) rooted and writeable /system & /data!
If you havn't installed or used it before, the android app player Bluestacks alpha for MAc OS X is available here:
http://bluestacks.com/bstks_mac.html
The idea for rooting it came, when I read the thread of xRepinsSporx here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571308. This is guiding tread for rooting Bluestacks for Windows.
So credits go to xRepinsSporx!
I've managed making full rooted Root.fs for the Bluestacks android app-player for MAC OS X.
The /system of bluestacks is rooted out of the box, but root-permissions are restricted.
So I've copied a new su file ('su.orig') and a symbolic link ('su') into /system/xbin. This was done under ubuntu-linux!
That works for me...
If you want try it, here is a
HOW TO:
(make sure, Bluestacks is not running!!!)
---Attention! this HOWTO is only useable on MAC OS X!---
I.
1. Download Root.fs_hacked.zip (rooted Root.fs)
II.
1. Unpack Root.fs_hacked.zip in a folder of your choice
2. In Finder-Menu go to "Go To'-cklick it once ; hold alt-key down for showing the user-library-folder;
Open Library-Folder; Go into the Folder Bluestacks App Player; Go into the Folder Android;
Rename the file Root.fs to Root.fs_backup (in case for having a backup!)
copy the unpacked Root.fs_hacked to here and rename it to Root.fs .
---- You have full rooted /system now! ----
3. Goto into Folder yourusername/Library/BlueStacks App Player/Runtime; make Alias For Bluestacks App Player.app;
Place this link where you want to (i.e. on Desktop or into the Launchbar);
Now you should activate personalized Home Launcher! (If you did not done it before)
I made it with Holo Launcher...
III.
1. Open Pulse in Bluestacks
2. Click an entry in Pulse; Click on Menu-Button, that goes to an WEBsite of an article; the hidden webBrowser of bluestack will open that;
in addressbar goto HoloLauncher (stable) download page http://hololauncher.com/download.aspx?t=STABLE and download and install it
3. Click on the colored Home-Button of Bluestacks and select Holo Launcher for ever.
Now you can install basic gapps for Bluestacks
IV.
1. open the web Browser
2. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/GoogleServicesFramework.apk; install it
3. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/OneTimeInitializer.apk; install it
4. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/SetupWizard.apk; install it
5. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Talk.apk; install it
6. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Vending.apk; install it
7. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Gmail.apk; install it
6. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Maps.apk; install it
At last goto Settings->Accounts-> add your Google-Account
You did it! - Congrats
What is working:
- root is granted for apps an the fly (without the use of Superuser.apk - this APk isn't working but not needed!)
(test it with titanium backup and/or root explorer)
- fully read/writeable /system, /data, /data/data
(you can test it by starting a terminal session in bluestack; after starting terminal you are at the $-prompt right(?), enter $ su - and you are the #-prompt - so you are rooted)
If Titanium Backup or other apps don't see your installed apps, then you have to change permissions for /data as following:
open terminal session
and enter
Code:
su
chmod 755 /data
(thanx Jainyankee1993 for his reply!)
- Homelauncher of your choice
- Market
- Synching Gmail
- installing most of apps you can see in your market account
(working apps i.e. here: Root Explorer; Titanium Backup; Adaway; Clocksynch...)
What is not working:
Contacts and Calendar won't synch! (So i use the Google website for my calendar and contacts for the moment )
The colored home button loses his function. (For getting home button function you can load 'button svoir' from market)
The stuff published here is for educational purposes only!
All you do with your Bluestacks installation on your MAC is done at your own risk!
BTW: if your full rooted Bluestacks is running as it should, you can delete the preinstall Bluetstacks-Apps-Folder link from the Launchbar...
(atached 2 screenshots here.)

Wrote this post before you posted the bigger screenshot (sorry).
the permissions for /data are looking good.
So make a
'ls -l /data/data' and ls '-l /data/app' the must have the sam permission values like your /data - line
my old eyes can't read your output.
Can you please write the single line from output for the /data folder?
Have tested the chmod command once more.
You can enter the command
Code:
chmod 755 /data
... and TB should show all your apps, i think!

is chmod supposed to give me an output, because it isn't...

No, chmod returns without any output after setting permissions...
I'm pleased that it works for you.
(Will update the HowTo with the 'chmod' command for /data...)
You are right with the camera. The mic would also a nice gadget in using bluestacks...
But i don't think that bluestacks.com will build their emulator (Bluestacks App player) in this stage ...
So, who will try hacking the app player for using cam and mic?:laugh:

First of all, thank you very much and you're a genius.
Second, I can't seem to log in with my Google account, I fill in all data and then after it loading for 1-2 min I get a message saying "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
I've installed all the supplied apk (in the order they were mentioned) but nothing. Am I just a total n00b and forgot something or does this root not support the Market/Play store yet? I say Market because that's what the icon says on my Bluestacks, but that shouldn't be the problem because they're two different "apps" if I'm right.
Root.fs in use
Every time I tried to replace the root.fs file with the hacked root.fs, it says that it can't be completed because root.fs is in use. Please help!
When I do this and open up stacks it just crashes.
You can get contacts/calendar to sync by adding a corporate account under the contacts app. Then use use your gmail credentials and m.google.com as server.
There is no root.fs in /Users/<username>/Library/BlueStacks App Player/Android
There is root.sparsefs instead. is there any way to hack this?
Thanks for all
Best regards.
Need new root for Beta version
The Beta uses a different image format, "Root.sparsefs" containing two files "Map" and "Data", so it needs a new root.

[Q] Softwinerevb -0.0mb stucked after updating the Busybox

Helo,im new here.. iam exploring the whole day exploring the web in getting root my device, but then after i succesfully rooted my device. i got a lot of errors like "unfortunately , the 'certain app' stop working". And when everytime i install the ROM manager, my device suddenly reboot on it self. I decided to have a factory reset on my device to check if the error will fix. And the error was actually fixed. I installed busybox pro, on the device and tried to update the busybox, and now my device has a 0.00b internal storage. I cant install any applications anymore. While doing self investigation, i removed also my Superuser privileges, thinking it would fix the issue. I also unrooted my device again. now im stucked -.- since i read about some forums that i just need to restore the busybox to the right directory. Anyone can help me? Iam running a tablet with Softwinerevb device name- i know there is a less support about this device. Running on a stock ROM JB 4.1.1. Well cross-fingers if someone could help me here.

I can install an emulator on it, and a root explorer. Is there anyway that you can provide some commands so i can gain root access using root commands and transfer the busybox from system\xbin to system\bin??
any solution
did you find a solution to this? I have a similar problem, but on a generic tv box. I have tried flashing a multitude of roms, but have only got 1 to slightly work
Try to change default install location to SD
Use ADB and try to change default install location to SD card. By this u can install some apps. Hope this will work for you.:highfive:
Late response, but I thought I'd put the answer here since I encountered it myself on a generic AllWinder/Softwiner tablet and found the answer on TabletRepublic. (Sorry, I'm not allowed to post links yet.)
There's something about busybox that prevents it from mounting the /data partition, so you don't have any storage available and all your personal settings vanish.
The solution is to copy busybox from /system/xbin to /system/bin. If you have ADB access (I did it from Linux) or can copy a terminal emulator to the SD card and install it do this:
Code:
mount -o rw,remount /system
cp /system/xbin/busybox /system/bin
reboot
Or if you can download RootExplorer.apk to the SD card, you can install that and copy the file with it.

disaster after i delete /data/dalvik-cache folder, help !

since the inner storage is limited, i want to move dalvik-cache to sd-card, so i delete /data/dalvik-cache, then create a sym link named /data/dalvik-cache there which point to /mnt/sdcard/cache which is also a folder, this appears to works at first, since some dex files are created at /mnt/sdcard/cache folder which is initailly empty, but after i reboot my android phone, it stayed at boot process, even hours.
i wanna repair my phone, there are still some important data there, such as contact data, messages , and communication log.
Facts:
Now i can adb shell to my android device, but failed to run su command, which works well before i delete the folder /data/dalvik-cache, the error message is as follows:
adb shell
$ su // dollar symbol indicates i can connect to my device
su
[1] Segmentation fault su // why i failed to run this su command now?
Questions:
i can still connect to my android phone using adb shell, but i cannot run su command to get root priority now, if i can have root priority, i can delete that sym link named dalvik-cache, and all the things would be well, but how to delete that sym link now?

i still have important data inside the /data folder, so i cannot wipe the data and do factory reset, not saying flashing a new ROM
what i need to do is how to delete the symlink named /data/dalvik-cache
Oh, that's really awkward situation then, what else have u tried?
Tried booting without sd card?
And that's really strange coz i did the same mistake on my previous device (deleting the dalvik-cache folder) but surprisingly it rebooted up normally, took a longer time though.

the difference is that i created a symlink named dalvik-cache there, so that the folder named dalvik-cache could not be recreated when the phone is booting. but when i delete that folder named dalvik-cache using gui, and create a symlink which points a folder in sdcard, it seems works well, since some dex files are created in the that folder in sd card, but the device failed when reboot, maybe the problem is that sd card driver is not loaded that the android os cannot load gui dex from sd card, so that i can only connect to my device using adb shell, and the gui just stayed in the process of booting
It's because sd card loading takes a bit of time even after boot, while OS requires the dex files during the booting process, that might the causing the issue as it tries to access sd card b'coz of that symlink, but i have no idea of solving this

It's not just the fact it takes time, the main problem is it happens way later in the boot process, that's why it won't happen even hours later...

If the CWM recovery is working, you can try to create your own update.zip, which does nothing just removes the symlink and creates a folder.
You can find tutorials about the update.zip all over the net...

As I wrote earlier, creating your own update.zip can work, because it's not just for files, but you can put scripts in it, which will run when you "install" it.
Search for tutorials in this forum, you can find how you can do that...
Simplest and quickest solution.... move to ur recovery (stock or other).... wipe cache partition... this will reset the path and not delete anything in your phone...

you'll probably be redirected to my topic. i have the same device as yours and haven't found a way to root either.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/rooting-storex-ezee-tab-7d14-s-tablet-t2941840
i tried cydiaimpactor, towelroot... nothing. those applications just straight up say that the device isn't supported, so no luck so far.

after the chinese su is there you can go to terminal remount system rw and replace the su bin file
the right character on the chine su is allow the left one is deny so easy to use too
i replaced it because titanium backup complains about it nothing else

There two ways both work there are also other methods to do it in the forum
install a terminal from play store open it
check if you have busybox need to install that too
type su
click on the right chinese character as soon as the chinese root appear its the allow section
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/by-name/system /system
cp /place/where the su file is/su /system/bin
chmod 644 /sytem/bin/su
mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/by-name/system /system
reboot
some thing can be done with adb shell
and as i said there are programs on playstore that do this easly as long as you have root
hope it helps

Before your answer I managed to swap the superuser apps just by installing the superSu as a system app and rebooting the system. So far everything is working fine.
Once again thanks for your help and your very quick response!!!
