Hi, ive just upgraded to Android 5.0.1 manually (13mb update from 5.0 didnt flash) by flashing each img Individually.
The problem in facing is that my phone no longer thinks it has any storage. Ive tried various different apps and some detect it and others don't. The only thing I have done that might of caused this is recovering my user data, but other than that, everything went fine.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Or does anyone know a fix?
Thanks in advance

I had the same issue, 4 reflashes of the full 5.01 later .... grrrr
I can't say what caused it, I can only attribute it to a an app that was causing it. I had google restoring all my apps at once and each time I let it do that the SD would disappear/unmount.
On the last rebuild I installed apps one at a time and so far it's been all good. If it was an app I don't know which one, I haven't installed absolutely everything I had on originally.
No help at all huh ?
Cheers

I had something like this happen . Are you using 4.4 and 5.0?
This happens quite often. Download a terminal emulator and run "su" (enter) and then "restorecon -FR /data/media/0" (enter) and reboot.

Haven't tried this yet but I wish this solution was around a week ago, I've had to reinstall everything manually, rather than restoring it
Thanks nonetheless

The solution has been around in a thread called "sdcard problems" in general for a long time. Always try to search

{First of all, i DID search high and low to find the answer to my problem before i made this thread.}
I have been using Cyanogen 4.1.11.1 ROM for sometime now without any problems. A couple of day ago i started getting force closes everytime i tried to go on the android market. I tried reflashing my phone using the CM Updater as i thought this might solve the problem, but that didn't work. I have cleared the market data via setting>application settings>manage applications>market>clear cache. That didnt solve the problem either.
Is anyone else using the same ROM as i am and experiencing the same problem?
Does anyone know how i can fix this problem.
Thanks.
This is an APP question post in the correct area!!!

wrong section or not, i have the exact same rom on my dream and the market runs fine. just move the cm-update zip folder out of the cm updater and put it in the root of your sdcard then try wiping and reformating it. might help, might not. it's not a rom issue though as the market works fine on mine.
Ok thanks for the info ill try that now
Problem Solved
I wiped/factory reset, rebooted and it works fine again now. i dont know what caused this though.
Thanks
There is several posts about this in other topics. But I figured it was important enough to have it's own. The first time I tried the update it got to a 100 then failed. Now tried twice already and nada, doesnt go past preparing and fails. Does anyone know where this file is residing and why the phone doesnt go past preparing?
I believe many more ppl are experiencing this issue.

I hesitated replying to yet another thread on these update issues. It is becoming a pain to read through each one. But yes, I have the same issue and I think after reading the Success Survery thread that my issue is the circle battery mod because all I did was root, add the battery mod, tweak the market access and remove bloatware. Others have had success with the update with all these things except the battery mod from what I have read so far. Trying to figure out how to restore this back to factory battery. I don't want to take the ODIN factory reset option because it looks like nearly all people that do this fail at 50% on the update. It is also not clear if you already received a failed update if it is even possible to try again successfully.
But I am happy that my GPS issue is fixed! I manually installed Quickoffice. Never got the new youtube widget but could care less about that. I just don't like an incomplete update.
I did not install the battery mod. Mine was just rooted, sideloading enabled, crapware gone. No dice though. I do apologize for starting yet another thread but was only wondering if u fail once can u ever get it again.

Same thing here, rooted with ATT apps removed. Went to 100% the first time but failed, now it fails at preparing. Anyone tried "Factory data reset" option and then updating?
I have the same problem, stuck on preparing too every time i retry the update installation. the only thing i did to my phone was root it and remove att crap. I am currently talking to samsung level 3 tech support to solve this problem. They first told me to send the phone in so they can reflash the phone but i am trying my best to get the tools from them to reflash my self.
I hope this can be solved in some other way

I am currently running Sky ICS and I am able to flash a new update just fine. After settling in and restoring all of my apps I will restart. After restarting my phone will just start freezing up. It seems the media scanning is delayed when restarted. I have already tried the Odin method. I even wiped EMMC. After starting completely fresh it is still having the issue. My phone is completely unusable (no texting because of media scanner not working correctly?, data doesn't work either). Anyone else having this issue?

So I've been messing with it and decided not to restore all my pictures. Restarting seems to work just fine now. Had about 300 pictures.
maybe try thederekjay's wipe script?

Already tried that. The only thing that seems to work is wiping EMMC and not restoring all my pictures. Basically just starting fresh.
I seem to have solved my problem though i'm not sure that it will help you. I restored back to a stock backup I have then installed sky ICS fresh and it has been stable for 3 days now.

I've tried to clear the cache, do a battery pull, restart my phone and nothing seems to work. Trying to copy anything from any app will make it not respond and yields in a force close. Anyone know what I should do?

You have to tell us, what rom you are using? rooted? Did you freeze any system apps?
I have the same problem. My phone is not rooted

Stock, not rooted (no ROMs are stable enough for me yet..mainly CM and AOKP) and I updated to the new ota
I forget exactly what causes it, but a factory reset is one of the only ways to fix it.
With all the work that goes into installing all the apps and stuff, Id rather root my phone xP
Here's a post that describes one method of fixing the issue, if you are rooted, by deleting all of the files in "/data/clipboard/". It also mentions clearing the data in the "TestService" app, but not everyone seems to have to do that step to fix it.

Thank you kindly sir!
Im currently running beanstalk 4.2.2 v5 rom and when i try to install any app no matter how small or large the apk is, it takes forever to install it. I have no clue what could be causing this at all. it just one day started taking a very long time to install anything. is there something i can do to fix this or is it more of a device problem? ive tried searching google for anything that may help me out in this and came up not finding anything close to helping me. Thanks in advance!

i would say to flash to stock then wipe and do a fresh installation..
The only problem I have with that is that for some reason I can't get Odin to work on my phone. But its also been a while since I've tried as well. Is it BC I've flashed many different ROMs and installed and uninstalled apps with residual data left over?
