[Q] "couldn't install on usb storage or sd card"

I'm trying to install "The Room" on our unrooted (still under warranty) Asus Transformer TF300T but I keep getting the above error message. I've done a search on the XDA site and found some threads relating to the same problem but the solutions seem to refer to rooted devices. I've also done a search on the Asus for smdl2tmp1.asec and drawn a blank (even with hidden files unhidden).
The tablet is running Android 4.2.1.
Is anyone able to help, please?
Many thanks

It installed fine for me on android 4.2.1

have you tried unmounting you sd card then installing the game mate

Any ideas why it won't install for me? I've tried several times today and always get the same error message. Can you suggest any settings I should check?

There's no SD card but internal storage shows 26.51GB space available.

ahh ok if you have a spare sd card try putting that in to see if it installs

I had no SD Card when I first got the tablet 2 weeks ago, and a whole lot of apps were giving me the same error - which I thought was silly since there was ridiculous amounts of free space.
Chucked in an SD card and voila everything worked, but it wasn't installing to the SD card. Asus be trolling.

Thanks, robgee and batwingnz, installing an SD card has done the trick even though the app has installed on internal storage rather than the SD card. Hey ho, at least it's on there and working.
Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

glad you got it working mate

Tried *everything* but no luck
I am still on stock ROM (latest ASUS ROM update version), but now rooted the TF300T.
I have been getting the same error for many months
I have tried *everything* I could think off except complete reset of the device.
Problem is ... sometimes it does work for a while ?!
I have rooted the TF300T.
I ran all imaginable optimization (Root cleaner, clean App and Dalvik caches, greenified everything (but also same error in Safe mode!), ran LagFix etc).
I unmounted, mounted sd card etc.
I fear some the eMMC flash memory is somehow failing !
I bought Titanium backup so I can reset the TF300T.
Does anyone know of a solution ? If I reset the tablet, will the errors be gone ? Did anyone try that ?

You tried plugging in an SD card and installing to the internal memory?

How do you control installation of an App in internal memory ?

Hi cmendonc2, thx for your assistance.
I did plug in an SD card, but also tried without an external one.
Installing to the internal memory, what exacly do you mean ... how can you opt for that ?
I have root apps that let me transfer Apps around memory types, but installing an App is AFAIK determined by Android and/or the Dev and not up to me. Or what am I missing here ?
Thx in advance.

[sOLVED] XPERIA L C2104 hangs after 1-2 minutes of boot.

Hi!! I tried everything, flashed stock firmware which worked for me every time. But now the phone just hangs after a minute of boot. I can see status bar and nav buttons but its black screen in main screen. I am unable to turn on developer tools because of this so can't even root phone or anything. Please help.
I used 'root external 2 internal sd' application from playstore earlier which caused the phone to not boot at all. So I flashed stock firmware. And now this problem
The application showed 16 GB internal and 16 GB external when I tried it.

I just tried to quickly go and check storage. It says 0 in internal storage and nothing as external. Can it be because of this?? Any fix? :/

May be your partitions are not read properly or they have become corrupt
. Do you flash the full ftf along with the wipe data option turned on ?
If not then do try this.

yes i flashed full ftf with both wipes checked.
today i removed my sd card and mobile worked fine after that. i used sd card via card reader and its fine, not corrupt. put it back in mobile and again the same problem of mobile hanging and going black. it shows 0 gb internal when i put sd card.
is there any fix to this or fixing partitions coding inside mobile?

Format your sd card using your phone. Search Google play for a good app to format and format your external sd card as fat32.
Best of luck.
Hit thanks if it helped.

if the problem is still therr then do the following
Put your external card in card reader and connect to your windows pc.
download hdd low level format and format the card. Make sure you DO NOT use the quick format option.

Help! Partitioning my tablet Internal Storage went wrong.

Just got my new Tablet ME rainbow 7 quadcore. I rooted the device and it went fine. The tablet has 1gb phone/system storage and about 4gb of Internal storage. I partitioned the internal storage using mini tool partition wizard, followed the instructions carefully and its done.
But after I rebooted my device, somehow it got messed up. The Internal storage shows 0.00b and Misc of 20kb. I tried to access it again via my pc but when i turned on the usb storage on, I cannot access it. Need help to solve this issue
Is there a way to somehow recover my internal storage or repartition it again?
Thanks alot, hopefully anyone out there can help me.

Either you use the "format sd card/storage" function from android itself or u can use a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to revive your storage.

Seems as there is not a custom recovery for your tablet released yet. Have you tried "Settings->Storage->Format SD" ?

tried it but no format option. I ask a friend and he said that maybe I partition and format my intrenal storage to a file system that my tablet does not recognized. As a result, my tablet does not read my internal storage. Tried to connect it also to my pc but when I choose option to turn on my usb storage, it just keep reading (circling icon).
Is there a way to repartition/format my internal storage using adb commands?
or other way to access my storage using my pc?
Thnx alot

Does mini tool partition wizard show up the partition?
EDIT: Most stock recoveries / bootloader have a option so format sd card / storage. Should be worth a try.

i rooted my phone 2 years ago and have been using ICS rom on my htc pico i.e. explorer with twrp recovery from 5 months and yesterday outofnowhere my rebooted automatically and stuck on htc logo then i went into recovery where i realized that it was unable to mount.

At this point i would say my problems were gone ,in recovery mode i was able to see my sd card but then i do a TERRIBLE MISTAKE. I partitioned my memory card from the partition option in twrp recovery and then it was back to damaged state(me mentally damaged ). I tried evreything i tried before,but nothing helped,even the recovery software which detected my mem card previously now didnt detect it
Now my computer is also not showing it even the " removable disk" which it showed previously somehow and i was able too see it.
but the thing is in diskpart when i list volume
i am able to see it with 0 kb capacity which i was able to see before also and now too,but now i am not able to see it in my computer

use an adapter to put the card in your pc, then get a program for your pc to format the card properly, then put the card back into your phone.

buy an adapter and fix it properly on your pc. adapters are not expensive, im guessing less than $5. a lot of sd cards come with them when you buy it.
plus, when in pc, you can use tools to check the card for errors and bad sectors. maybe partly bad, thats why you are having problems.

Okay now I got an adapter but still no use,, I cannot use chkdsk as some error comes, diskpart clean shows io error
Help.....

along with the previous suggestion, you can use this to make sure its genuine, and it will report bad sectors and other things.
you should use this first to make sure there are no issues with the card before attempting to fix something that may not be fixable.

Format internal SD card. I had this problem on stock KitKat when I repartitioned it to increase app storage. Automatically the phone showed me the option to reformat it, I clicked and it was done.

i am facing the same problem. that is the internal memory can not be used. but when the partition size increased, the same internal memory can be used for applications but not as internal memory. the internal memory not allows to paste anything in it. how solve the issue??
