Hello. I've been using Link2SD to link apps to my ext4 SD card partition with no problems, but yesterday I deleted some system apps and now, after booting and showing the lock screen (I can unlock and use my phone for a few seconds) the screen turns black, but it's still on because I can see the backlight on, nothing responds, even the bottom bar with the triangle, circle and square buttons dissapear.
I hold the power button and it does nothing, I have to force power off by holding the power button, and when I turn it on again, it boots normally, then shows a "Android is optimizing applications",, after aprox 15 mins optimizing apps, it boots normally , and then hangs with the black screen again, and the loop continues unless I remove the SD card and none of my linked apps shows (thats why I guess the problem is with Link2SD).
Can anyone help me here? I don't know if there is any way to log things that happen before the phone hangs, and never had this problem before, so I'm kinda lost here.
I deleted the apps "My consumer cellular" and "My extras", without making a backup first, and I don't know what's their real function. Maybe all this is happening because I deleted them? Because the other are Google apps that I don't think will cause this issue.
I attached the apps that I removed before the problem started.
Thanks for any help.

I've had this problem! I had to flash the ROM again.
You did Wipe cache and dalvik?

Wow, glad someone can help me!! Yes! I wiped both partitions using TWRP recovery. Right now I'm experimenting with wiping the ext4 partition (I backed it up) and link some new apps to see if the problem persists. If not, I'll copy all my old apps from the backup and try to boot again.
Strange problem, if the problem persists after all that, I guess I'll have to flash the ROM like you did.
Edit: I noticed an issue that happened to me me before while copying files from the ext4 partition. There were 2 files that I could not copy because of an error, the same error happened to me before with this phone while I was copying apps files from the SD card (FAT partition, using the normal "Move to SD card" Android button). Those file that I could not copy were causing my SD to be unmounted after boot, and I would mount it again and after some seconds, unexpectedly unmounted again!
I can't copy all the files to the ext4 partition, probably the mounting software I'm using is doing something wrong, because I copied the full sized folder from it to my pc. I'll have to reinstall all the apps, but at least my phone won't be hanging again (I hope!).
Did flashing you ROM again solved all the issues for you? Doing that wipes data? I've never flashed another ROM.

If flashing the stock ROM or a custom ROM will solve the problem.
hint:
If you want to do backup applications, you can use the AutoMoto! "Backup / APP" This option is being tested, but so far did not matter with me.

PROBLEM SOLVED
Im using custom rom Androxide 1.2.1 and im having trouble to find any media in my Google apps. I cant find any old images in gallery (although I can find newly taken screenshots.).
And I cant find any music at all i Google Play Music.
I CAN see my stuff on SDcard using Root Explorer and on PC.
I have noticed that android.process.media FC's after bootup. And I belive it has something with that to do, but I cant figure out why or how...
This problem seems to only occur on this Androxide rom, all other roms are OK.
I have tried reboot, full wipe, flash rom again after full wipe, change kernel, fix permissions, connect USB storage - disconnect - and reboot, and I have tried to google it.
No luck.
I have now problem with ALL roms im trying. I have been flashing different roms all day and have only had success like 2 times getting media to be found in Gallery and Music app (no problem in explorer apps).
I have no longer fc's on start up.
-Im not sure if its supose to be like this, but after flashing a rom in CWM Recovery the SDcard gets stuck in mounted mode. I get "error unmounting /sdcard!" when trying to unmount it. Before flashing rom after the data wipes I can mount and unmount as normal.
Also when plugging out the phone from USB transfer mode the USB-logo is still in notification bar for a while, and then the phone says that USB is connected altough I just disconnected it...
Is there something wrong with the phone?
I will attach some screenshots and I hope someone friendly can help me out!
Have you tried clearing data for you Music and gallery under Apps?

Yes I have.
You can also clear data for 'Media Storage', but this could erase some things (I've seen default ringtones being erased). Not sure the whole extent of doing this.
Run rescan media from the market.
I have tried it, it does not work. Thanks for ideas though!

I ran into the same issue with media process fc's and the phone did not recognize any of my media files from the SD Card.. I solved it by backing up all the important files to my PC: pictures, music, TiBu folder, etc... Wiped (reformatted) the SDCard, wiped/factory reset, reflashed the ROM. Restored my apps from TiBu. Copied back my pictures and other files back to the SDCard. Everything worked fine after that.
I think after a while, the SDCard gets so bloated with lots of files causing the media scanner to take a long time to scan the SDCard, thus the out of memory exception.
+1 on the above....
Start fresh all over again.
Get rid of all the unnecessary junk.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
I was hoping this was my last way out, but it makes sense. Backing up SDcard now...
Problem solved
formated sdcard and moved my backup back to it, flashed a nice rom, and now it shows all my media again!
Thanks [email protected]!
Sorry man...
..i have the similar problem to be not able to start ,it freezes,i can start in recovery,but trying to mount the sd card,the reply is "e: can't mount /sdcard/"
i ìd like to try the format of sdcard,but : first of all,i must be able to restart at least one more time,to backup all my file,and then,the question is..after formatting it,how can i reflash a new rom?usually i copy them on the sdcard,and then ,bootin in recovery,i install it with the option ' install zip from sdcard'..but after a format,how to copy it?
3 months ago to now, so I do not understand why does XT720 often crash and see black screen when install a new app (app >5Mb). I installed both in 3 ways: installed from the market, copy the app to memory card and install, install from computer with ADB. All that is hanging black screen, press the power key but the screen didn't open. And i have to remove the battery to reboot! I also tried a lot of Cook Rom also will get results like that.
Do the other android users have encountered this situation? And do you know the cause or how to fix it not? Hope for your help!
Regard!
I never had this problem maybe you should try hard reseting you phone.

I encountered this in other ROMS (Specifically using Khal's MIUI). I thought it was my SD card. But when i updated to CM6 I havent encountered this issue at all.
Btw, you can try booting with out the sdcard and see if that will get you to your home screen.

What about factory reset
Formatting won't solve your issue (for me it didn't). It is not software corruption of your card's filesystem. It is your kernel getting stuck writing large amount of data to the card, and can't drive it. You can observe it when installing large APK, or taking photo with max resolution, or record HD video. Sometimes overclocking/overvolting may help you, try that. The best solution is to get a class 10 SD card ... their speed matches up the data written and known to cause less lockup.
Hey,
I booted up my phone this morning but the boot animation stucked and I had to reboot it. When the phone booted up again, all my personal data was wiped, and all the applications I launched, except for my launcher, crashed after a second. And even if I touch nothing, random apps start crashing. I can't even run TB to backup things. Since most of my app data is on a partition of my SD card, I tried to put it on my PC but only the 'multimedia data' part mounted correctly.
Is there anything I can do apart from flashing a new row and wiping everything ? Maybe accessing it from my PC ? Or do something from CWM ?
My phone is running Kyrillos 9.7.1 with G3 Mod Non-Oc.
^It seems to me that there's something wrong with your partition.
Just format and repartition your sd card to fix any corruption issues!

Hello, i'm writing this hoping that you can help me. I have installed Slim-4.4.3 but have some problem:
Is that i don't have a SD card and can't figure out how to change de default path of camera (i have installed several the last one is Cymera wich i could set to internal but not a specific path ans syas "Storage is full" but i have 5 gb of free space) to the internal storage, and no, buying a SD is not a good option in this country.
I have used Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.3.build.5.8-60 and Slim-edison-4.4.3.build.5.8-UNOFFICIAL-20140610-1535
and put it in System 1

Try JB+ Camera , there's an storagepath option
I realllllly mess up this time, well i enter Recovery mode (with bmm) and format everything (i was crazy) then in only boot till the 4 options(pressing volume keys + power button Normal boot,Revocery,AP fastboot and BosstTool) and someone burrow me an SD to flash it, but it turns out that give me the error of signature(in update from external, that is in recovery mode) then i learn that i have to use Rsd lite, i download everything, but the phone goes off so i put it to wall charge and i woke and is like nothig (the moto logo goes and keep in that way) i try to conect it to the pc and it shut down, also chargin from pc gives the white led, after 15min the logo appear, and goes black screen, but when i press the power+volume it shut down and it goes only to the white led, should i wait more with pc charging right? im impatient jeje.
It is possible since i format everything the part of charging also i mess it? So that's why it won't charge? If that so what can i do? The only solution i figure it's to find someone with my phone and change battery to flash and see if that works, but again Venezuela it's not a place were it's easy to find solutions, in this case someone with the same model
Thats FXZ rigth?
@KPatrix thanks but before i mess it everything i download an app to view my storage and it turns out that internal storage(something for apps right?) appears not phone storage(i was reading and this is were user files go), so i figure that somehow i was needing to create phone storage and all i could found in google were post related to unistall and that kind of stuff so didn't work to me. In this point i was able to find a solution?

What a mess ...
If it's not convenient for you to get a fully charged battery，can you buy a multi-purpose battery charger in your country? We can buy it everywhere and it's very very cheap!
After that, you can start your steps:
1.flash stock ICS rom
（2.get root
3.install BMM
4.wipe data &cache &DalvikCache &battery status
5.install a Rom zip you like）
You can only do Step1 if you want to use ICS, which is far more stable than unoffical ROMs -few bugs. I think a stable OS is quite necessary for you as your surroundings.
Before you flash, read a guide，follow it strictly.
And, good luck to you!
@KPatrix thanks for that quick response! I use to have stock but i founded lagy and the moved to JB the leaked version and also founded laggy (i guess that was because all the chinesse/motorola blootware) i recover my phone hurray! Again i try with Slimkat and the same result says i have 5gb of free memory but only to apps :S so while i'm writing this i'm downloading liquid-Kit-Kat but i found a video,althought i'm goin to put it in System 1 i'm not planning to add more rom, and starting to think that it needs something more to put it right isn't?
Also forgot to mention the way i have fixed the battery problem was mutilating ans usb cable, and don't come to Venezuela, i've try searching a more easy option to fix and the answers were: "No hay" (There's not) or waaaaaay to expensive
It's again in SlimKat, i've try liquid and still have the same error! Anyone can help to use the internal storage not only apps, i like to save pictures/videos, and it's a problem probably with the roms, so that could be kikat? Please i don't want to use JB or ICS

Glad to see you've solved your other problems.:thumbup:
Unfortunately, this is one that you can't. That data partition that is not the same as having an internal SD card. It only stores apps, app data, etc.
That mean that is not possible to use Internal storage to save images after flashing with a custom rom? Or if i put it in another partition leaving the stock on SYstem 1 will work?
I give up, really, i put SlimKat on System 3 and still can't save images :S, but the main System can (ICS stock). So if there are not posibles solutions that doesn't imply buying something i'm done, thanks anyway for the answers, i will keep visiting this for a posible solution

Maybe your Atrix 2 is different from mine (AT&T) because the internal storage on mine is for apps and app data only. It won't save pictures, music videos, etc to that storage space. An external SD card is required for that.
Probably, mine is not an At&T version and i can use the remaining 4gb or to store apps and music but that only happens in ICS stock, on Slimkat unfortunatley i can't i will leave for a week or so to see if a i can't find a solution.
SOmethin that i forgot to mention on BMM says "unable to mount /int" it has something to do with my problem, then i flash it to stock->root->bmm and stil have the error :S, but it has something to do with that isn't?
Do i need a sd card on my (At&t) Atrix 2 to flash a rom. Im rooted but waiting for a sd card to come in. Can i just flash then insert the card afterwards.

If you have no SD card, where are you going to put the ROM zip that you intend to flash? The AT&T models definitely don't have an internal SD card so, unfortunately, you'll have to wait.

I'm not sure about that error. Try this (if possible both on stock and on custom ROMs) to look for your internal storage. Using a root enabled file explorer, go to the root of your device and look through the folders. There are a few places you're likely to find it. Could be one of the following, among other names.
/sdcard
/mnt/storage/sdcard
/storage/sdcard
/sdcard0
/mnt/storage/sdcard0
/storage/sdcard0
Also if it has both sdcard0 and sdcard1, then those will be your internal and external SD cards. Internal being the "0" and external being the "1". If it shows both then whichever your model is must have an internal SD card, and I will have learned something new. :sly:
I have /sdcard on stock and can access it appear whatssap,downloads,music etc... on the rom nothing appear and they have the iqual permissions.
I have to say that i'm going to debt to buy an SD of 8gb, in the next few weeks (this country is like this unfortunatly) but the doubt is interesting isn't? So thanks anyway!
Will slimkat go on my at&t a2 or do us at&t owners have to stick to certain roms?
Ok heres the story (its not too long don't worry)-
But I URGENTLY need help to fix it please please.
I have an LG GT 540.
I got it 2months ago, and it came as factory standard, and on LG's android 1.6 operating system (so unusable basically).
Over the 2months I managed to upgrade it to a Cyanogen 4.2.1 custom rom, managed to learn how to partition my SD card into fat32 & ext2 and then installed Mounts2sd and used it to freeup space on phone.
(The phone comes with only 138mb storage, so is unusable without mounts2sd quite simply).
The phone was constantly freezingup everytime I tried to load any app ever,
but after clicking the 'Fix Permissions' tab in the recovery menu, it was all working fine and everything was working fine.
HOWEVER as 1 thing wasn't working on an app I love, and re-installing the app didn't fix the issue, I decided to wipe the whole phone, reinstall the ROM and try re-installing the app then.
But when trying to clear and wipe everything from the phone, in addition to clicking data wipe/cache wipe/dalvik cache wipe, I also clicked on the buttons saying ''Format system / Format SDcard / Format sd-ext''.
When I tried to reboot phone it was bricked, as had no boot screen logo, just was plain dark screen.
I fixed this by removing sd card from phone, putting it into laptop, placing the Cyanogen 4.2.1 rom file directly onto the sdcard, placing sd back into phone, rebooting into recovery menu, and then re-installing the ROM from the sd card.
However I now have a massive issue in that whilst the phone will now work without Mounts2sd installed (well it works but I cant install any apps as no space to do that),
As soon as I install Mounts2sd on the phone and try to use it, whilst it does freeup the memory its meant to, it totally mucksup the entire phone by making every app freeze, making phone not turn off straight away when clicked to... ect
I have removed sdcard, re-partitioned it on my laptop into Fat32 & Ext2, re-installed the ROM multiple times, and then re-installed mounts2sd on the fresh rom and tried to use it,
But everytime I try it just screwsup the phone and makes all the apps and everything on the phone freeze!!
Ive now wiped all data/cache/dalvik,
re-flashed that cyanogen rom onto the phone again (mustve done that 50x now in last 2months),
and am about to try formatting the sd card again on my laptop, then re-partitioning it to Fat32 & Ext2.
But before I re-install Mounts2sd and get the exact same issue all over again,
please please can someone tell me how I can fix this or what im doing wrong??
And so how exactly I can install Mounts2sd back onto my phone again, but without it messingup the whole phone and making everything on it freeze?
Thankyou soooo much inadvance
