[Q] Accidentally removed the /sdcard directory

Hi everyone,
During a manipulation I accidentally type "rm /sdcard" via adb...
After that, I tried to clean the sdcard (via Settings panel), wipe the cache, and made a reset factory to fix my error, but without success.
Finally :
- some directories have been re-created (Alarms, Android, DCIM, Download, LOST.DIR, Movies, Music, Notifications, Pictures, Podcasts, Ringtones),
- when I try to install an app, I got the INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE error (but my sdcard is technically empty)
- in the Storage tab (in Settings Panel) I see Total space=0.00B
Is there a problem with the partitioning? Have you any idea to fix this issue?
Model : a Chinese prototype, can't share the name
OS : Android 4.1.1
No backup, no original ROM
Root access via ADB.
Thank you!

Well... First of all, you should always (yes, always) make a nandroid backup... If you can't use CWM, there's always the adb backup option
Have you tried the SD card in a computer? Does it read? Have you tried formatting the sdcard again through android?

It's the internal SD card, I cannot take out of the tablet.
The SDcard is readable, I can use adb to load some files on it, like an apk for example. It's just Android cannot detect free memory to install a new app.
And yes, I tried to "erase SDCard" via Android (that I called "Settings panel" in my first post).
Do you need more details ?

have you tried adb shell then mkdir /sdcard and after that reboot the device ?

This is a good idea... Also, would be good trying to Data erase/factory reset from recovery (if any available)
Another good one would be to, if supported by the Kernel, add an init.d script like S01FixSDCard like this:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#I'm a bit outdated in what means bash scripting, but with a little reading you can get the idea :)
#The script must be ran at system start, also make sure it's chowned to 0.0 and with 755 and that it'll be ran as root
if [-d /mnt/sdcard] then
rmdir /mnt/sdcard
fi
mkdir /mnt/sdcard
chown 0.0 /mnt/sdcard
#Some legacy apps/scripts call the sdcard this way (I'm not sure though how it is when it's an internal sdcard, my S5830i has only external SD
ln -s /mnt/sdcard /sdcard
#This line was taken "as is" from my "mount" command, you should adapt many parameters here, to begin with, the UID of your GUI user
#it should be 1000 by default, but you never know... Also, check the GID which corresponds to the group of your GUI user, in my case it's
#1015. If you can get how your sdcard is mounted by default, awesome ;)
mount -t vfat -o rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0602,dmask=0602,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp347,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro /dev/block/vold/179:1 /mnt/sdcard
Hope that helps, corrections and contributions are welcome

Also, can you share a screenshot of your settings panel in the storage option?

One more suggestion: Use "aParted" look for it on the Play Store, and as for data recovery matters (if you need) you might want to try CamRec from Cristophe Grenier.. http://www.cgsecurity.org/

Thank you for your ideas !!

It just recreate some directories (Alarms, Android, DCIM, Download, ...) but impossible to install anything.

No recovery available.
add an init.d script like S01FixSDCard

I tried to adapt the script (with vold/93:72 the only available), but no changes.

Looks again like a good idea but ... my problem is I can't install anything
So, I'm always blocked
Do you know how to re-partition the sdcard from an android command line (with busybox) ?

}

to format it, you need to know in what format was before, since it's the internal memory, maybe was fat maybe was ext2, ext3, ext4. When you connected your device to the pc, did you had access to the internal sdcard ?
try this
adb shell, and after you're in the phone's shell, check if you're root with id command, rm /sdcard and symlink /mnt/sdcard /sdcard
if you're not root, use su to become one, but since you managed to delete /sdcard folder, I think you have root permissions already when you're in shell.
Can you tell us what device do you have ?
P.S.: you didn't posted the screenshot. It doesn't appear.

I have an access to the phone via adb, andif I change the connection as Media device (MTP), I see my internal storage from my PC explorer (Windows 7). Is there a way to know the partition type ?

id => uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
I have already remove sdcard 5 times in different context, the symbolic link is automatically recreated from /mnt/sdcard so I think it's not enough to fix my issue.
And I can't tell you what is my device (see first post).
For the screenshot, I can't share external links since I'm too "young" for that ^^. But try to follow the link (right click), it would show you the picture (tell me if it's not good and I will change it).

First of all, check where's the sdcard's path:
ls /dev/block/mmc*
You should have 2 paths. First mmcblk0 - not sure tho and I can't check it right now, we don't need that anyway. And the second mmcblk0p1.
If you have it, use busybox mkfs.vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 to format it in fat32 and reboot

I just test a debugging option :
Code:
pm set-install-location 2
The documentation said it's used to install on external media, and there is no external media ... but I tried and it works just enough to install an other app. But apps are no more available after reboot, like all user settings. On each reboot, it's just like I swipe my cache (but downloaded data are always on the /sdcard/)...

use adb pull /init.rc and open it with a text editor. it's the first file which runs before android will boot. Check it and if it doesn't make any sense what you'll find there, just upload it here and I'll take a look

An other point I just find, I see on internet that the mount command have an entry for /data, but I see nothing in my case :

That explains why you can't install apps. When you install an application on android, it's installed in /data, which is a mount point of the internal memory. I think you have a problem with that, not just with the sdcard. and as I can see from the log you pasted, the sdcard is mounted here /dev/block/vold/93:72 /mnt/sdcard ...
And
/dev/block/nandd /system ext4 ro,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0
/dev/block/nandh /cache ext4 rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,user_xattr,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0
it seems that one partition in /dev/block/* is the data partition. you can find out if you check the sizes with the df -h command.
I don't see anywhere in init.rc the mount command for the /data partition, I'm sure it's in another file. check the files from main directory, where init.rc is. Just the files, don't check in any directory. Maybe we'll get at the bottom of this!

[Q] Swap SDCARD Kitkat?

I've been trying to swap sdcard on kitkat, but no avail. any Ideas about how to swap or even remove the internal sdcard?
been trying to remount with this script but it's black screen with force closes, maybe theres something wrong with it?

Elephone P6000 mtk6732 64bit Recovery & SP Flash Tool

Elephone P6000 Recovery​
SPFlashtool Video is now removed due to possible confusion. I will make a new more concise video for making backup's of specific partitions very soon​
Here is a couple of tut's for those who have windows 8.1 64bit problems Drivers etc.
Uninstall any previous attempts to install drivers then reboot the PC do not insert your phone yet!!
Follow these guides step by step.
This first Driver Signature Verification
Then follow this down to step 9 Installing Vcom Drivers windows 8.1
Thanks to the authors of these tuts
Note: If you do not name your readback eg boot.img and leave the ROM_0 the flashtool will just do a complete ROM dump of your entire phone 12.8gb which cannot be processed by droid tools :silly:
PLEASE READ and post in the Q&A Tab which is above my name over < there also hit the THANKS Button bottom Left corner if I helped it costs you no money but cost me many hours
Recommended Viewing
See @rnovino more detailed and excellent general SPFlashTool TuTs with all the mtk drivers links . Thanks to him for these.
Here and Here
Please NO NOOBS asking how to install drivers etc just use google as these questions have been answered a million times over and I really don't have the time to spoon feed everyone :crying: You will probably brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing so read read and read again. :silly:

New CWM Recovery is now ported to the p6000.
It's the None Touch Versions and I ported it over from the mt6595 version made by carliv :angel: over Here so full credit goes to him for his Awesome work.
The recovery supports Aroma File Manager also so get over to carliv's thread for the Aroma File Manager zip and hit his THANKS button because without him we would still be stuck with zero support. Link to Aroma FM and all information about how to use it and install Aroma FM is in the thread there so read it please. Again Here

Post any questions in the Q&A's at the top of this thread.
Here is the recovery Removed see OP
Use the normal ways to install it. adb, spflashtool, If rooted just get the flashify.apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
Thanks and enjoy!!!

TWRP is HERE!!!! YEEEHAAA
Well at long last we have working TOUCH Recovery​
First we must thank all the dev's who have spent many many many Hours and Days trying to fix this problem thats confounded the best of us ​ @carliv @yuweng @codelover @Santhosh M @BachMinuetInG @HypoTurtle
The eventual fix came by way of @NiksSkersts and @yuweng who are working on the P6000 sister/rebranded phone the "Just5 Blaster" Thread Here Please visit and hit his thanks button Also Go HERE and Hit yuweng's Thanks Button for all his work he never gave up trying to fix our problem
All those listed need to be Thanked at the very least EVERYONE!!!
In the end the problem was with the KERNEL or the drivers for the kernel anyway the Just5 Kernel works fine for our recovery needs :good:
I have used a Early carliv TWRP test build for the first release I have had to make quite a lot of changes to the init.rc fstab etc as it was just a test build carliv made to see if the touch could be made to work So go over to @carliv thread and hit his THANKS Button or buy him a coffee because as said none of this would be possible without him :angel:
Quick Note: These are all based on KK so far Android L is still a work in progress
TWRP V2 Now added:
Fixes:
1, Added Custom Partition to Mounts/Backup :good:
Tips:
1. To prevent problems when data_sd and external_sd are mounted to the PC goto TWRP settings/screen and uncheck the sleep function so the screen does not sleep this will ensure a stable connections
2. To view your Internal_SD on device using the TWRP File Manager in Advanced make sure Data is Mounted then got to /data/media/0 you will now see all your internal_sd files so can edit copy etc on device.
3. Performing Backups with TWRPV2 . When you backup large partitions like Data or System PLEASE make sure to only select 1 one partition at a time to backup. You can select multipule small ones like boot, recovery, nvram and they will all backup fine but for some reason System and Data must be done one at a time on their own!!
Please verify any previous backups you have made.
You can double check them by moving the system/data.ext4.win file to your pc then rename it system/data.tar and use winrar to view the files inside. Rename it back to the ext4.win to use with twrp again.
TWRPV2 HERE
More Choice bigrammy I hear you say Well here you go all in one HIT!!
These are all the work of @carliv and have been compiled by him for the P6000 so make sure you thank him PLEASE!!!
I have not had time to test them all to destruction but I am sure they will be fine Enjoy!!

Ok, i m a noob with Mtk devices..but i've experience on modding with other android phone..... proc/partinfo give me the same result on partion size ecc...
but
Only one thing I did not understand,
I have to connect the device without a battery, right?
Connecting the device without battery, despite having installed the drivers Vcom, I see that the device is recognized for 2 seconds then disconnects automatically, then again recognized .. is this normal behavior?
thx for your work :good::good:

In Future please use the Q&A bro just read the OP above.
To answer your question: When the progress bar in flashtool turns red put in your battery quickly I have mine ready and just slightly away from the contacts.
When done it will now hold it on until the end of the read backs.

bigrammy, i note that backup from cwm creates file size of boot, recovery of about 12Mb , have you tried to restore?
also another issue is that the backup folder is not in external sd, but in internal memory!
Thanks

12MB? sure it's not 16MB (full partition size)...
@bigrammy in int.rc of the Carliv recovery doing this:
on init
export PATH /sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
export ANDROID_ROOT /system
export ANDROID_DATA /data
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0
symlink /system/etc /etc
symlink /data/media/0 /storage/sdcard0​should switch it so that internal sdcard (/data/media/0) and external sd card switch places so that backup is added to removable card - only downside being it may not boot if there's no sdcard present.

My boot.img backup size is 16mb (16,777,216 bytes) to be exact bro so not sure what's happened with yours
Did you use the stock scatter for a backup or flash? maybe double check your partition sizes on the phone /proc/partinfo
As for the storage problem i am working on this right now
I am full of cold so I don't think my brain is working properly :crying:
We have some strange paths for the cards and I am struggling to define them correctly so all works as it should.
In recovery we should be able to view our sdcard when plugged into the PC with the USB cable
I am not 100% sure if we have emulated or none emulated internal sdcard even.
This Elephone ROM is very poor with none existant files :crying: making my job even harder eg: the stock fstab's says the internal sd card is at [email protected] which does not exist
Even the paths are not correctly defined so it's a process of trial and error.
I don't wish to bother @carliv until I am 100% sure I can go no further .
For now the recovery does what it's supposed to do which is backup and flash all though it's to and from the internal sd
I am back at work tomorrow so no further debugging for 4 days from me.
You're more than welcome to have a go at fixing it if you wish just be sure to give carliv the credit :good:

Ah, thought the fstab was taken from the boot.img, my mistake... Still waiting on mine to arrive (3 weeks and counting), will wait til then before attempting anything. Regarding the fstab it's actually /devices/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.MSDC0 that is claimed to be the internal sdcard, not quite sure how it can be it's own partition though, anyone care to post the outcome of mount and df?
Edit. The internal sdcard is set by the service sdcard in init.ssd_nomuser.rc
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -d /data/media /storage/sdcard0
class late_start​not sure if the fstab lines are an error or are used while in (adv)meta mode or something.

:laugh: Yeah thats what I thought too
/devices/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.MSDC0 the path seems not to be correct according to what I have on the phone itself which is /sys/devices/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.MSDC0/
and for the other card is /sys/devices/mtk-msdc.0/11240000.MSDC1/ ?/??? maybe we need to drill down further as I see in some of carliv examples it goes to /mmc_host/mmc0 1 for MSDC1
I have drilled all the way down and can confirm on 11230000.MSDC0 = Type = MMC and for 11240000.MSDC1 = Type = SD so I guess these are the correct ones

My thinking is that perhaps the /devices/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.MSDC0 is for use with META mode as it points to a device rather than a partition, i.e. the whole NAND memory. Not 100% about that... it doesn't make much sense that META mode is controlled by boot.img but that seems to be the case (~ half the .rc's are for meta mode (factory and meta ones)), which would mean that a bad boot.img flash (and recovery.img), would result in a true brick - there isn't a mask mode/drivers for
MTK afaik.

@hanuma
The cofface recovery is a e3 recovery and yes it seems that a lot of meta stuff is in there too.
The meta stuff is probably to accommodate OTA updates maybe (Just a guess )
I think we should be able to define things how we want.......

Things to do:
1. Make external_sd = mmcblk1p1 = sdcard0 default for the backups.
2. add sd_ext = mmcblk1p2 to backup options
3. Get sdcard1 defined as internal_sd
4. Mount Both if possible to upon connection to PC . (If only one then external_sd is preferred by me) Thoughts welcome on this.
5. I really need sleep !!!! lol

The cofface recovery is a e3 recovery and yes it seems that a lot of meta stuff is in there too.
The meta stuff is probably to accommodate OTA updates maybe (Just a guess )

Could be for FOTA I suppose... tried to look though /system/bin/fotabinder; but couldn't see much other than a reboot call.

# External storage devices surfaced through these APIs must be a semi-permanent part of the device (such as an SD card slot in a battery compartment).
# Developers expect data stored in these locations to be available over long periods of time."

Good to see this. Bad that those guys from taiwan101 or so, didn't keep my credential in recovery.
I helped SevenMaxs to solve mounting both sdcards in his device (a mt6752) and that one has same sdcard paths. So if you replace this:
Code:
/devices/platform/mtk-msdc.1/mmc_host/mmc1 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto
with this:
Code:
/devices/mtk-msdc.0/11240000.MSDC1/mmc_host/mmc1 auto auto defaults voldmanaged=sdcard1:auto
in fstab and recovery.fstab it will work (both sdcards not only the internal).
No change in init.rc. I mean on this (which is my solution for mt6595 taken by those guys):
Code:
on init
export PATH /sbin:/vendor/bin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin
export ANDROID_ROOT /system
export ANDROID_DATA /data

And you should know that you can't switch sdcard0 with sdcard1 (internal with external) in CWM if internal is emulated. As you saw it doesn't have to be defined on fstab at all (if you define it as in stock recovery it won't work), and by default CWM will asign it to sdcard0, and you can't change that. If you want to place backups in external sdcard, just select "backup to /storage/sdcard1" from menu. I guess you are too much used with the "old" cwm, jellybean version with sftab1 Well things are changed now for kitkat using fstab2, and to be honest I don't understand why they did it. Twrp still uses fstab1 and is doing just fine
Later edit: Guys you can't relay on stock recovery or other one based on stock. The CWM works different (no fstab or init.rc from stock recovery will help you). One other thing you should know, if you define the usbdisk or otg or whatever its name is in CWM fstabs, you will loose the USB Mass Storage mounting to PC function, because CWM only allow one USB connection. All these are already explained by me in my thread for porting recoveries, and more exactly in the new guide composed of only with pictures.

Thanks for that @carliv ... still waiting for my device to run this recovery was wasn't sure what version CWM it was.
I'm guessing minivold is why you can't simply switch SECONDARY_STORAGE with EXTERNAL_STORAGE... It is a moot point though if as you say "backup to /storage/sdcard1" is there as an option.
Edit. @carliv is the symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2 bit right? Or should it be /mnt/sdcard1 ?

First CWM will check for sdcard0 on fstab to see if matches any defined voldmanaged entry and if it's not it will assume is a data/media sdcard and assign it sdcard (aka storage/sdcard0) path. To change that you need to build the recovery and to do that in source code. I guess all this fuss was started by google when they designed kitkat for their devices without external sdcard.
Yes, /mn/sdcard2 is right for /storage/sdcard1 because /mnt/sdcard (<<<no 0 here) is for /storage/sdcard0 - at least that's in all the phones I saw, but maybe yours is different. If you open the mnt folder with a root explorer do you see any sdcard1 there? That will be a first for me to hear such thing.

Would I be right in thinking then that the backup location is hardcoded in the recovery to something like /storage/sdcard0? I was thinking that it might have been backup => $EXTERNAL_STORAGE (if that's even possible) so that a simple switch external/secondary in init.rc would point the backup to /storage/sdcard1 instead, it's been a while since I've compiled anything, might poke through the code though.

This is only for phones with internal sdcard on data/media. If you have a phone with internal sdcard as a "fat" partition (as I do) you can switch them as much as you like, but not from EXTERNAL and SECONDARY storage; it has to be done in fstabs switching voldmanaged:sdcard0 to external and sdcard1 to internal. In kitkat cwm those defines EXTERNAL and SECONDARY STORAGE can be removed and the recovery will work, or you can let only EXTERNAL to sdcard as in CWM official init.rc. The reason I added those modifications, including mnt/sdcards and other from init.rc was for USB Mass Storage mount to PC. Stock CWM init.rc will work with right fstabs but on connecting to PC it will mount only the external sdcard; my modds make it possible to mount both sdcards.

cw11 failing to swap internal / external memory

Guys, I'm completely lost in tutorials so pls help me I'm freaking out!
I'm trying to bring to life my mother's HTC Explorer so I installed CM11 (cm-11-20140316-UNOFFICIAL-pico.zip) using some yt tutorial .
It works fine and now I'm trying to increase the phone internal memory. But in vain :'(
I tried:
1) editing build.prop
Code:
persist.sys.vold.switchexternal=1
ro.vold.switchablepair=/storage/sdcard0,/storage/sdcard1
-> no change
2) Trying to execute the StorageSwap.sh
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
umount /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
umount /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1
mount -t vfat -o uid=1023,gid=1023 /dev/block/vold/179:97 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard0
mount -t vfat -o uid=1023,gid=1023 /dev/block/vold/179:8 /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1
-> not working! permission denied
Can someone pls share a proved and easy way to make this work??

! First question is that :: How can i under stand which is emulated and which is non-emulated
Examples
EMULATED STORAGE
Code:
# MTK project .rc configure
on post-fs-data
#
# SHARED_SDCARD related directory & configuration (begin)
#
# we will remap this as /mnt/sdcard with the sdcard fuse tool
mkdir /data/media 0770 media_rw media_rw
chown media_rw media_rw /data/media
#
# SHARED_SDCARD related directory & configuration (end)
#
on init
# See storage config details at http://source.android.com/tech/storage/
# fix non-shell uid process can not access shared-sd
mkdir /mnt/shell 0700 shell shell
chmod 0750 /mnt/shell
chown shell sdcard_r /mnt/shell
mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated 0700 shell shell
mkdir /mnt/shell/emulated/0 0700 shell shell
mkdir /storage/emulated 0555 root root
mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 0700 media_rw media_rw
mkdir /storage/sdcard1 0700 root root
#Path
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/emulated/legacy
export EMULATED_STORAGE_SOURCE /mnt/shell/emulated
export EMULATED_STORAGE_TARGET /storage/emulated
mount tmpfs tmpfs /storage/emulated mode=0755,uid=1023,gid=1023
# Support legacy paths
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /mnt/sdcard
symlink /storage/emulated/legacy /storage/sdcard0
symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/legacy
symlink /mnt/shell/emulated/0 /storage/emulated/0
symlink /storage/sdcard1 /mnt/sdcard2
on fs
setprop ro.crypto.fuse_sdcard true
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -l /data/media /mnt/shell/emulated
class late_start
service fuse_sdcard1 /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -w 1023 -d /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1
class late_start
disabled
NON-EMULATED STORAGE
Code:
# MTK project .rc configure
on post-fs-data
mkdir /data/media 0770 media_rw media_rw
chown media_rw media_rw /data/media
on init
# Catalog
mkdir /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 0700 media_rw media_rw

mkdir /storage/sdcard0 0700 root root
mkdir /storage/usbdisk0 0700 root root
# Path
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE /storage/sdcard0
export USBOTG_STORAGE /storage/usbdisk0
export SECONDARY_STORAGE /storage/sdcard1
# Links
symlink /storage/sdcard0 /sdcard

on fs
mount_all /fstab.mt6582
setprop ro.crypto.fuse_sdcard true
service sdcard /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -d /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1 /storage/sdcard1
class late_start
service fuse_sdcard0 /system/bin/sdcard -u 1023 -g 1023 -d /data/media /storage/sdcard0

Look at the build.prop and look for one line
Code:
ro.mtk_shared_sdcard=1
If not present then pest it and now reboot
IF STILL NOT SOLVE

NOW THE PROCESS BEING TOUGH AND NEED SOME BRAIN AND LOT OF PATIENCE TO SOLVE
GO WITH ME STEP BY STEP
READ IT
FOR THIS YOU NEED TO UNPACK THE BOOT.IMG
AND LOOK FOR ALL *.rc FILES FOR THE STORAGE LINES
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. IDENTIFY THE STORAGE TYPE EMULATED OR NON-EMULATED:fingers-crossed:
2. AFTER IDENTIFY THE STORAGE TYPE NOW TAKE SOME TIME AND COMPARE ALL THE LINES WITH THE EXAMPLE SCRIPT I GIVEN ABOVE
3.NOW COMPARE THE fastab.mt**** OF PORT BOOT.IMG WITH THE fastab.mt**** WITH THE STOCK BOOT.IMG
NOTE : do all the things with some times because this is difficult and to solve it can take more that 5 times so keep patience and try hard
