Hello, my phone is running Invicta and I'm trying to flash Lineage through TWRP, but the issue is that I just got a micro sd card as I had stored all my data on my system memory. My phone prompted me to transfer my data to it, so I did. When I tried to get into TWRP, it popped up with a message about the ROM. I ignored it and swiped, and it took me into TWRP. I went to the install area and I found that it was still on my internal storage, so I tried to switch it over to the microsd and when I selected it nothing happened. Are there any ways to fix this?

SO here is the situation. I had my phone set up with cyanogenMOD and had just set up apps2sd. I thought Apps2sd was not running and I realized I had not partitioned the sd card the way I wanted to. I wiped the sd card repartitioned and reformatted. WHen I booted the phone all the apps on my home page were busted( gears for icons). I'm guessing that apps2sd was actually working and I just erased all my apps. Anyway I wiped the phone, reformatted the sd to 1 fat32 partition and downgraded to rc29, in order to just setup my phone from scratch. Now when I boot the phone many of the apps I had before will not install , they download and then i get an installation unsuccessful error. Oddly enough it seems to only happen to apps that i had on my phone when I messed up apps2sd.
Any thoughts on the problem. I would like too wipe and start over, but that doesn't get rid of the problem.
Is there a lower level wipe that can be done besides the factory reset?
\thanks

Did you reroot your phone. Once you load RC29 on again you loose root. Just to let you know, when you have problems like this you don't have to go back to RC29 again.
I did reroot the phone
And also, forgot to mention that after this i tried loading cyanogenMod again and it gets stuck in a loop when it boots and eventually goes to a grey screen.
Did you repartition your card again. And did you wipe (alt + w) before you loaded your rom.
I returned my card to 1 fat32 partition, and yes I did wipe.
Did you create an ext partition for your apps2sd?
no ...I wiped the phone, returned it to stock. No need for the partition. I just cannot install certain applications or the cyanogen rom
Hello everyone!
I, quite recently, bought an Alcatel Idol X 6040X (the one with only one micro-sim slot) and decided it's a good idea to root it. After a few minutes I managed to root it with Kingo Root. Everything was working perfect but later the phone started misbehaving - every app, every single smurfing app started crashing no reason whatsoever. I decided I'd do a factory wipe and get a better ROM (because the stock ROM sucks pants, lmao); I installed this ROM. Everything ran so smooth so I went to tinker with the options and noticed that the "About Phone" section says that my phone is now a Nexus 4. "Okay, I guess" - I said shrugging. "Everything is running good so why worry?"
Later I noticed some apps started misbehaving so I went to storage and discovered that my phone mounted its inner storage twice. One being the SD Card, the other being the Inner Storage (And both showed different contents).
First I booted up to recovery to fix permissions. Everything went well, also wiped Dalvik and Cache; then booted up the system, wham - a bootloop. After resolving it by reinstalling the ROM everything was fine again so I went on to reinstall XPosed. I noticed it won't work, because somehow, Superuser went completely absent. So I went to Terminal Emulator, punched in "su" but nothing happened. So I rooted the phone again (with Kingo Root again) and root with its SuperUser worked fine again, but the SD Card/Inner Storage unmount bug persisted.
I decided to unmount and mount SD card and my SD card showed up, everything was okay. Strangely, it unmouted its inner storage and said it was okay to remove it. Yes, You read that right, inner storage was okay to remove. Aaand... TADAAA! Gapps crashed. SwiftKey crashed. Acore crashed. Everything went on crashing again.
After rebooting everything went back to normal (in my case, the inner storage mounting twice but at least nothing crashed). I decided to see what would happen if I moved everything from the so-called SD Card to inner storage and mount my SD card. Now, every single app is crashing again even after reboot.
What do I do to fix the issue? Especially the one with mounting/unmounting my SD Card and Inner storage, it's the most infuriating thing ever! Maybe there's a better ROM but I can't find it?
Thanks in advance!
My phone is hung up on the "Encrypting SD Card" process. Selecting encrypt or decrypt in the settings does nothing and the SD card is currently unmounted because of it.
This has happened once before but went back to normal after I applied the update that came out last month. Just ended up being great timing. Any ideas on what I can do get the card to remount? I don't want to reformat the card because I know this is fixable but I need to know how to clear the cache or reset the encryption task, or whatever the update did that let it get back to normal. Once this is fixed, the card will be decrypted and it will stay that way. The encryption process does not seem to be all that stable at this point.
Thanks in advance!
Hello. I will go through what I have done thus far to fix this and describe the problem as best I can.
Upon booting up a fresh version of Turbo ROM, after being on TruPure for quite a long time, I booted up to find the SIM card and SD card no longer functional. The menu for cellular networks is greyed out and the sd card is not recognized in the phone booted up, or in recovery. Windows does recognize the SD card and functions as normal.
What I have tried:
Obvious things like reseating, removing, reinstalling. Reinstalling when in recovery, when booted up, everything you can think of.
I downloaded and flashed new modems through using internal storage.
I updated TWRP in case something was going on in recovery.
WIFI still works in terms of getting data
The only thing I haven't tried is backing up the contents of the SD card and reformatting due to being at work. But given this is both the SIM card and SD card, I do not believe this will solve the problem.
Has anyone had this issue or has any advice? I am obviously rooted and unlocked and sending this in for repair probably isn't a great option.
Thank you
Edit: Just wanted to add that this SIM issue first popped up after flashing the Pure Nexus ROM, then Turbo, then back to TruPure. All the same result. But it was fine before I flashed Pure Nexus.
try flash NON-HLOS.bin, hope this will help
So I ended up using the back-to-stock tool and went the nuclear option. This allowed the SIM card and SD card to be recognized. If anyone else seems to have this issue, using that method will get you back up and running at least.
Is it my imagination or can updating to 6.0 cause the SD Card slot to cease to exist? Manually force updated stock rom from 5.0 to 6.0.1. Everything seemed to be working fine, until I went to access files on the SD card. No card found. Rebooted into recovery mode, unable to mount sd. Connecting to computer, no sd. Did a little searching, backed everything up to a thumb drive, factory reset, flashed cache, etc. Rebooted, went through 4 or 5 updates....still no SD. I'm getting 'SD not Inserted' message when I try to access it. But the dang thing was working before I flashed to 6.0.1 . What the flunk?
I suppose the next option is to root and try a custom rom for the 900M ? Unless someone has other ideas?
Thanks.
